About HTAHealthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) is the largest dedicated owner and operator of medical office buildings (MOBs) concentrated in 15 to 25 key markets. We provide the infrastructure for the integrated delivery of healthcare services in highly desirable locations. Our in-house property management and leasing platform has strategically placed regional offices, allowing us to efficiently manage our medical office buildings and serve approximately 2,000 tenants.

Over the last decade, we have invested $3.9 billion primarily in MOBs and other healthcare assets comprising 16.9 million square feet.  Our targeted key markets have superior healthcare demographics –economically affluent populations, leading universities, health systems and national employers looking for well-educated workers. These dynamics support strong, long-term demand for MOBs.  We have, and continue to achieve, critical mass by expanding our presence, within these key markets.

Founded in 2006, by our Chairman and CEO Scott Peters, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2012, HTA was the first company that did not issue equity in conjunction with its NYSE listing. This demonstrates our commitment to creating shareholder value and prudently allocating capital. Since our inception, we have delivered, on average, 10% total return to our shareholders, which accounts for stock appreciation and the reinvestment of dividends. More information about HTA can be found on the company's website at www.htareit.com.
