Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 13, 2012, the board of directors of HTA authorized distributions for the month of April 2012. These distributions will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day during such month at a rate of $0.00198630 per share per day and will equal a daily amount that, if paid each day for a 365-day period, would equal a 7.25% annualized rate based on a share price of $10.00. These distributions will be paid in May 2012, in cash or reinvested in stock for those participating in the DRIP.

The amount of distributions HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by HTA’s board of directors, at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, HTA’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain HTA’s status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as well as any liquidity alternative HTA may pursue in the future. HTA’s board of directors may reduce its distribution rate and HTA cannot guarantee the amount of distributions paid in the future, if any.
