Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The board of directors of Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (“HTA”) previously adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) pursuant to which existing holders of shares of HTA common stock may purchase additional shares by automatically reinvesting all of their cash distributions in shares of HTA common stock. On May 21, 2012, our board of directors determined that it is in the best interest of HTA and its stockholders to terminate the DRIP in connection with its listing on the New York Stock Exchange of its Class A common stock. As a result, all distributions beginning with the distribution for May 2012, which will be paid on or around June 1, 2012, will be paid in cash.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is deemed “furnished” and not filed under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
