Exhibit 10.2.2
Employment Bonus Agreement

This Employment Bonus Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of March 4, 2020 (“Effective Date”) between Carey Shea Roberts (“Executive”) and Ventas, Inc. (together with all of its direct and indirect parents, subsidiaries and other affiliates and related entities, the “Company”).
WHEREAS, Executive has commenced employment with the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to provide an employment bonus payment of $1,000,000 (the “Bonus”) to Executive, processed through the Company’s payroll and subject to any required withholding; and
WHEREAS, in exchange for the Bonus, Executive has agreed to reimburse the Company either through service (by remaining employed with the Company for a specific time period as set forth in this Agreement) or by repayment (if Executive terminates employment as set forth in this Agreement before completing the agreed-upon service).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
1.
Bonus: Provided that a Repayment Event (as defined below) has not occurred, the Company shall pay the Bonus to Executive with the first regularly scheduled payroll after execution of this Agreement.

2.
Repayment Obligation: As described below in this Section 2, Executive will be required to repay, without demand, all or a portion of the Bonus (collectively, a “Repayment Obligation”) under certain termination events (each, a “Repayment Event”). The Repayment Obligation must be in the form of a check payable to the order of the Company and remitted to the Company no later than ten (10) days following the Repayment Event.

a.
If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause at any time from the Effective Date until the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive shall repay to the Company, without demand, an amount equal to the Bonus.

b.
If Executive voluntarily terminates employment with the Company for any reason other than Good Reason at any time from the Effective Date until the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive shall repay to the Company, without demand, an amount equal to the Bonus multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to the number of days remaining from the date of termination until the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 731.

c.
As used in this Agreement, “Cause” and “Good Reason” have the same meaning as defined in Executive’s Employee Protection and Restrictive Covenants Agreement executed in connection with Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company.

3.
Right of Set-off: To the extent allowed by law, the Company may deduct the amount of any Repayment Obligation from any compensation due and owing to Executive, including compensation due at the time of separation from employment with the Company.

4.
No Guarantee of Employment: Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a commitment or guarantee on the part of the Company to provide employment to Executive for any specific period of time or duration. Employment will continue to be “at-will” and nothing in this Agreement should be construed as an offer of employment for any specified period. Either Executive or the Company may change or terminate the employment relationship for any reason (or no reason) with or without notice.

5.
Notices: Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and effective when delivered or sent by telephone facsimile transmission, e-mail or personal or overnight couriers, in each case with confirmation of receipt, addressed as follows:
If to Executive:
