     On February  21, 2002,  Omega  Healthcare  Investors,  Inc.  completed  its
previously  announced rights offering and related private  placement to Explorer
Holdings, L.P ("Explorer"), resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company
of $50 million  before  expenses.  In the rights  offering,  the Company  issued
stockholders  (other than Explorer) a total of 6,402,632  shares of common stock
for gross  proceeds of  $18,695,685.  On February  21,  2002,  the Company  also
consummated  the  transactions  with  Explorer  contemplated  by the  Investment
Agreement  dated as of October 31,  2001,  as amended.  In  accordance  with the
Investment  Agreement,  Explorer  purchased  10,720,656  shares of newly  issued
common  stock for  $31,304,315  and the  Company  entered  into an  Amended  and
Restated Stockholders  Agreement and an Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement  and  Advisory  Letter with  Explorer,  each of which are  attached as
exhibits  hereto.  Based on its Schedule 13D filing  reporting the completion of
the February 21, 2002 investment, the source of funds for Explorer's purchase of
the Company's  Common Stock was Explorer's  working  capital,  which was derived
from capital contributions from its partners.  Based on its Schedule 13D filing,
Explorer holds 28,049,226 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 52%
of the Company's  outstanding  Common Stock,  which amount  includes  16,774,720
shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of  1,048,420  shares of the
Company's Series C Preferred  Stock.  Explorer may be deemed to have acquired or
increased its control of the Company as a result of such transactions. The terms
of the  Amended  and  Restated  Stockholders  Agreement,  Amended  and  Restated
Registration  Rights  Agreement,  Advisory  Letter  and  other  agreements  with
