From the cornerstone of a single idea – that the embedded value in hospital real estate can be “unlocked” through innovative sale and leaseback transactions to meet a hospital’s capital needs – MPT has grown from zero capital and no assets 16 years ago, to an international enterprise valued today at more than $10 billion. During 2018, we grew our portfolio to nearly 300 hospitals on three continents and achieved record results through well-planned strategic transactions, while delivering market-leading returns to our shareholders and positioning the company for continued global growth. “An Accurate Map of The World, Drawn from the best Authorities” Engraving by George Rollos c.1766, when Australia was known as “New Holland.” Preeminent Performance Medical Properties Trust continued to grow in size and return of more than 25 percent in 2018, significantly DIVIDEND GROWTH reputation throughout 2018 as the global leader in hospital outperforming our peers, major REIT indices and the PER COMMON SHARE real estate and the preeminent source of capital.

Consider just three examples that resoundingly trumpeted the inherent value of MPT’s hospital-focused real estate portfolio and clearly confirmed the strength of the company’s specialized knowledge and careful underwriting process: Creating a Joint Venture with Primonial Group At the end of a highly competitive selection process, Medical Properties Trust chose Primonial Group as its partner in a 50/50 joint venture arrangement for 71 rehabilitation hospitals throughout Germany, which had all been part of MPT’s pioneering European hospital investments. Management of Primonial, a highly regarded French asset manager with more than €23 billion in assets under managment, sought MPT’s unique hospital real estate expertise when they decided to invest in hospital assets in Germany and across Western Europe. Starting in late 2013, MPT had created the largest and most attractive portfolio of post-acute hospitals in Europe and the sophisticated institutional investors that bid to be MPT’s partner were attracted to the credit strength and inflation- protected long-term rental stream that MPT’s master leases provided. Primonial and others valued MPT’s initial €1.2 billion investment at more than €1.6 billion, resulting in a recognized gain to MPT in excess of €500 million five years later. “Investor interest in this JV opportunity was strong and came from funds based in Asia, Europe, Canada and the U.S.,” said MPT Chairman, President and CEO Edward K. Aldag, Jr. “As one of Europe’s real estate leaders, Primonial Group 4 committed to a long-term investment in hospital real estate that demonstrates the importance of hospitals as an asset sector in general, and MPT’s portfolio in particular.” Proving the Value of MPT’s Business Model “A great benefit of this transaction is that Primonial proved the value of Medical Properties Trust’s business model once again,” said Kevin Hanna, MPT’s Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.
