PART I.

Item 1. Business

Description of Business

In this Annual Report except as the context suggests otherwise, the words "Regional Health" or "Regional" refer to Regional Health Properties, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and the words "Company," "we," "ours" and "us" refer to Regional Health and its subsidiaries.

Regional Health is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior housing.

Our primary business consists of acquiring and owning real estate property to be leased to third-party tenants in the healthcare sector. We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to tenants and owning properties operated by third-party property managers throughout the United States (“U.S.”). In select circumstances, from time to time, in order to preserve the value of our assets, we may elect to take our facilities back from an operator and either hire a third-party manager or operate the facility ourselves until a new operator for the facility is secured.

We operate through two reportable segments: (i) real estate segment, which consists of owning and leasing/subleasing healthcare facilities, predominantly skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") and assisted living facilities ("ALFs"), to third-party tenants, which in turn operate the facilities (the "Real Estate segment"); and (ii) healthcare services segment, which consists of operating the healthcare facilities (the "Healthcare Services segment").

We expect to grow our Real Estate segment while diversifying our portfolio by tenant and facility type within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in investments in joint ventures with larger firms.

Regional Health is successor to, and a former wholly owned subsidiary of, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. ("AdCare"). On September 29, 2017, AdCare merged with and into Regional Health, with Regional Health continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger").

Our principal executive offices are located at 454 Satellite Boulevard NW, Suite 100, Suwanee, GA 30024, and our telephone number is (678) 869-5116. We maintain a website at www.regionalhealthproperties.com. The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference herein or in any of our filings with the SEC.

Industry Trends

The skilled nursing sector of the long-term care industry has evolved to meet the growing demand for post-acute and custodial healthcare services generated by an aging population, increasing life expectancies and the trend toward shifting of patient care to lower cost settings. The growth of the senior population in the U.S. continues to increase healthcare costs, often faster than the available funding from government-sponsored healthcare programs. In response, federal and state governments have adopted cost containment measures that encourage the treatment of patients in more cost effective settings, such as SNFs, for which the staffing requirements and associated costs are often significantly lower than acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and other post-acute care settings. As a result, SNFs are generally serving a larger population of higher acuity patients than in the past.

Growth drivers for SNFs, according to projections published by the U.S. Census Bureau, revolve around the percentage of Americans who are turning 65 increasing from 16% of the population in 2019 to 21.6% of the population in 2030, as well as the average life expectancy of the general population increasing from 79.7 years in 2019 to an expected 81.7 years in 2030. This translates into an estimated increase of the 65+ population from 54.1 million to 80.8 million in 2019 and 2030, respectively. It is expected that these additional 26.7 million Americans will drive up demand for SNFs and facilities that house and provide care to this aging demographic, especially as they age into the prime 75+ age category.

4

The skilled nursing industry is large, highly fragmented, and characterized predominantly by numerous local and regional providers. Based on a decrease in the number of SNFs over the past few years, we expect that the supply and demand balance in the skilled nursing industry will continue to improve. We also anticipate that, as life expectancy continues to increase in the United States, notwithstanding the recent declines due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to increased deaths amongst younger and middle-aged individuals (due to the overdose epidemic and suicides), the overall demand for skilled nursing services will increase. More importantly for our business model, as reported by the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care, the percentage of nursing home and senior housing properties that were owned by publicly traded real estate investment trusts ("REITs") was only 10.3% as of the year ended December 31, 2019. This indicates potential acquisitions and consolidation opportunities for Regional Health and organic growth represented by the aforementioned demographic trends.

We believe the skilled nursing industry has been, and will continue to be, impacted by several other trends. The use of long-term care insurance is increasing among seniors as a means of planning for the costs of skilled nursing care services. In addition, as a result of increased mobility in society, reduced average family size, and increased number of two-wage earner couples, more seniors are looking for alternatives outside their own family for their care. Further, we have identified a widening supply and demand imbalance within the SNF space. According to the American Health Care Association, the number of nursing home facilities has declined from 15,600 facilities in 2016 to 15,200 in July 2022. We anticipate that this decline in the number of nursing home facilities in light of the demographic trends identified above sets up conditions for increased utilization of SNF facilities.

Our Real Estate Portfolio

We have a geographically diverse portfolio of healthcare investments across the Southeast U.S. that offer a range of services including skilled nursing, assisted and independent living and memory care As of December 31, 2022, we had investments of approximately $66.5 million in twelve health care real estate properties and one leased property.

Skilled nursing facilities. SNFs provide services that include daily nursing, therapeutic rehabilitation, social services, activities, housekeeping, nutrition, medication management and administrative services for individuals requiring certain assistance for activities in daily living. A typical skilled nursing facility includes mostly one and two bed units, each equipped with a private or shared bathroom and community dining facilities.

Independent living communities. Independent living communities are age-restricted multi-family properties with central dining facilities that provide services that include security, housekeeping, activities, nutrition and limited laundry services. Our independent living communities are designed specifically for independent seniors who are able to live on their own, but desire the security and conveniences of community living. Independent living communities typically offer several services covered under a regular monthly fee.

Assisted living communities. ALFs provide services that include assistance for activities in daily living and permit residents to maintain some of their privacy and independence as they do not require constant supervision and assistance. Services bundled within one regular monthly fee usually include three meals per day in a central dining room, daily housekeeping, laundry, medical reminders and 24-hour availability of assistance with the activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing and bathing. Professional nursing and healthcare services are usually available at the community on call or at regularly scheduled times. A typical assisted living community is comprised of studios and one- and two-bedroom suites, each equipped with private bathrooms and efficiency kitchens.

Memory care communities. Memory care communities offer specialized options, services and clinical programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Purpose-built memory care communities offer a more residential environment than offered in a secured unit of a nursing facility. Memory Care communities offer dedicated care and specialized programming from specially trained staff for various conditions relating to memory loss in a secured environment that is typically smaller in scale and more residential in nature than traditional assisted living communities. Residents require a higher level of care, a secure environment, customized therapeutic recreation programs and more assistance with activities of daily living than in assisted living communities. Therefore, these communities have staff available 24 hours a day to respond to the unique needs of their residents.

Multi-Service Campuses. Multi-service campuses generally include some combination of co-located skilled nursing, independent living, assisted living and/or memory care units all housed at a single location and operated as a

5

continuum of care. We also refer to continuing care retirement communities as multi-service campuses. These facilities are often marketed as an opportunity for residents to “age in place,” and tend to attract couples where the individuals may require or benefit from differing levels of care. As of December 31, 2022, our portfolio included 2 facilities that we classify as multi-service campuses.

Portfolio of Healthcare Investments

As of December 31, 2022, we owned a portfolio of nine SNFs and two multi service facilities strategically located across the Southeast U.S. In addition, we sublease one SNF.

The following table provides summary information regarding the number of facilities and related licensed beds/units by state and property type as of December 31, 2022:

Our portfolio is currently diversified by six different licensed operators. For a more detailed discussion, see Item 2 – Properties and “Portfolio of Healthcare Investments” in Part I, Item 1., “Business”, in this Annual Report.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Lease Termination. On December 30, 2022, the Company and Spring Valley, LLC (“Spring Valley”) entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (the “Lease Termination Agreement”) relating to the lease of the following eight nursing facilities: the Powder Springs facility, the Thomasville facility, the Jeffersonville facility, the Lumber City facility, the LaGrange facility, the Tara facility, the Oceanside facility and the Savannah Beach facility (collectively, the “Facilities”). The Lease Termination Agreement terminated the lease effective December 7, 2022 (the “Lease Termination Date”)

The Company made no acquisitions nor dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Leasing Transactions

Leasing Transactions. As of the filing date of this Annual Report, the Company is operating or has leased or subleased, as applicable, the following facilities to tenants:

For a detailed description of each of the Company’s leases, see Note 6 - Leases to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute significantly to our success:

Geographically Diverse Property Portfolio. Our portfolio of 13 properties, 12 owned and 1 leased, comprising 1,703 licensed beds/units, is diversified across five states. Our properties in any one state did not account for more than 24% of our total properties as of the date of filing this Annual Report. Properties in our largest state, Ohio, are geographically dispersed around the Dayton area. We believe this geographic diversification will limit the effect of a decline in any one regional market on our overall performance.

Long-Term, Triple-Net Lease Structure. A substantial majority of our real estate properties are leased under triple-net operating leases with initial terms of 10 years pursuant to which the tenants are responsible for all facility maintenance, insurance and taxes, and utilities. As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the leases had an average remaining initial term of approximately five and a half years. In addition, our leases contain specific rent escalation amounts ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% annually. Further, each lease has one or more renewal options. For the facility subleased by the Company, the renewal option in the sublease agreement is dependent on the Company’s renewal of its lease agreement. We also receive additional security under these leases in the form of security deposits from the lessee and guarantees from the parent or other related entities of the lessee.

7

In-House Operating Team As of December 31, 2022, we managed 2 SNFs and an independent village community for a local hospital system in exchange for a management fee. In 2022, we began to utilize our operating team to operate some our owned facilities. By operating the skilled nursing facility, we are directly exposed to the risks and benefits of the performance of the facility. We generally utilize this structure when the current lessee can't support the lease any longer yet the properties present growth opportunities that may be achievable through capital investment and an improvement in operations. In addition, by having an in-house operating team, we can preserve a property's asset value when a tenant defaults on a lease forcing us to step in as operators.

Ability to Identify Talented Operators As a result of our management team’s operating experience, network of relationships and industry insight, we have been able and expect to continue to identify qualified local, regional and national operators. We seek operators who possess local market knowledge, demonstrate hands-on management, have proven track records, and focus on quality care and clinical outcomes. These operators are often located in secondary markets, which generally have lower costs to build and favorable demographics as demonstrated by the fact that the percentage of the population over the age of 65 is greater in the markets where we have invested than in the U.S. as a whole. We believe our management team’s experience gives us a key competitive advantage in objectively evaluating an operator’s financial position, focus on care and operating efficiency.

Significant Experience in Proactive Asset Management The members of our management team have significant experience developing systems to collect and evaluate data relating to the underlying operational and financial success of healthcare companies and healthcare-related real estate assets. We are able to utilize this experience and expertise to provide our tenants, when requested, with assistance in the areas of marketing, development, facility expansion and strategic planning. We also use information technology that allows us to efficiently and effectively collect tenant, financial, asset management and acquisitions information. Leveraging this allows us to be lean in our operations and proactive in sharing information with our tenants where we can be helpful to them. We actively monitor the operating results of our tenants, and, when requested, we offer support to our operators to identify and capitalize on opportunities to improve the operations of our facilities and the overall financial and operating strength of our operators.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy primarily is focused on investing capital in our current portfolio and growing our portfolio through the acquisition of skilled nursing and other healthcare facilities. More specifically, we seek to:

Focus on Healthcare Real Estate. We intend to continue to focus our investment program on healthcare real estate, predominately senior housing consisting of assisted living, memory care and SNFs. We have historically been focused on senior housing, and our senior management has operating and financial experience and a significant number of relationships in the long-term care industry. In addition, we believe investing in the sector best meets our investing criteria.

Diversify Our Portfolio. We look to diversify our portfolio through the acquisition of additional facilities. In addition, we plan to diversify our portfolio of mostly skilled nursing facilities with additional senior housing facilities including assisted living and memory care facilities. As we acquire new facilities, we expect to further add new tenants.

8

Invest Capital in Our Current Portfolio. We intend to continue to support our operators by providing capital to them for a variety of purposes, including facility modernization and potentially replacing or renovating facilities in our portfolio that may have become less competitive. We expect to structure these investments as either lease amendments that produce additional rent or as loans that are repaid by operators during the applicable lease term. We believe such projects will provide an attractive return on capital and improve the underlying performance of facility operations.

Provide Capital to Underserved Operators. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to be a capital source to long-term care operators through the acquisition and leasing of healthcare properties that are consistent with our investment and financing strategy, but that, due to size and other considerations, are not a focus for large healthcare REITs. We seek primarily small to mid-size acquisition transactions with a focus on individual facilities with existing operators, as well as small groups of facilities and larger portfolios. In addition to pursuing acquisitions using triple-net lease structures, we may pursue other forms of investment, including partnering with investors, mortgage loans and joint ventures.

Identify Talented Operators. As a result of our management team’s operating experience, network of relationships and industry insight, we have been able and expect to continue to be able to identify qualified tenants. We seek tenants who possess local market knowledge, demonstrate hands-on management, have proven track records and focus on patient care.

Monitor Investments. We monitor our real estate investments through, among other things: (i) reviewing and evaluating our tenants epidemic and pandemic protocols, including in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) reviewing and evaluating tenant financial statements to assess operational and financial trends and performance; (iii) reviewing the state surveys, occupancy rates and patient payor mix of our facilities; (iv) verifying the payments of property and other taxes and insurance with respect to our facilities; and (v) conducting periodic physical inspections of our facilities. For tenants or facilities that do not meet performance expectations, we may seek to work with our tenants to ensure our mutual success or seek to re-lease facilities to stronger operators.

Competition

We generally compete for real property investments with publicly traded, private and non-listed healthcare REITs, real estate partnerships, healthcare providers, healthcare lenders and other investors, including developers, banks, insurance companies, pension funds, government-sponsored entities and private equity firms, some of whom may have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital than we do. Increased competition challenges our ability to identify and successfully capitalize on opportunities that meet our investment criteria, which is affected by, among other factors, the availability of suitable acquisition or investment targets, our ability to negotiate acceptable transaction terms and our access to and cost of capital.

Our ability to generate rental revenues from our properties also depends on the competition faced by our tenants (which competition we also directly face when we undertake portfolio stabilization measures in our Healthcare Services segment). Our tenants, as do we, compete on a local and regional basis with other healthcare operating companies that provide comparable services. Our tenants compete to attract and retain patients and residents based on scope and quality of care, reputation and financial condition, price, location and physical appearance of the properties, services offered qualified personnel, physician referrals and family preferences. The ability of our tenants to compete successfully could be affected by private, federal and state reimbursement programs and other laws and regulations.

Revenue Sources and Recognition

Patient Care Revenue. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to receive in exchange for such goods and services. Revenue from our new Healthcare Services business segment is derived from services rendered to patients in the Tara Facility. The Company receives payments from the following sources for services rendered in our facilities: (i) the federal government under the Medicare program administered by CMS; (ii) state governments under their respective Medicaid and similar programs; (iii) commercial insurers; and (iv) individual patients and clients. The vast majority (greater than 90%) of the revenue the Company has recognized is from government sources. The Company determines the transaction price based on established billing rates reduced by contractual adjustments provided to third-party payors, discounts provided to uninsured patients and other price concessions. Contractual adjustments and discounts are based on contractual agreements, discount policies and historical experience. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the services provided. These amounts are due from residents or third-party payors and include variable consideration for retroactive adjustments from estimated reimbursements, if any, under

9

reimbursement programs. Performance obligations, such as providing room and board, wound care, intravenous drug therapy, physical therapy, and quality of life activities amongst others, are determined based on the nature of the services provided are determined based on the nature of the services provided. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Estimated uncollectable amounts due from patients are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a direct reduction to net patient care revenues.

Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company’s triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities will be recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable will be expensed in the period in which the Company first deems rent collection no longer reasonably assured.

Management Fee Revenues and Other Revenues. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. The Company has one contract to manage three facilities (the “Management Contract”), with payment for each month of service generally received in full on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2021, the balance outstanding on the Management Contract was approximately $31,250 and as of December 31, 2022, was $42,250. The maximum penalty for service contract nonperformance under the Management Contract is $50,000 per year, payable after the end of the year. Further, the Company recognizes interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectability is probable. The Company applies the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis.

Allowances. The Company assesses the collectability of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectability of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company’s evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectability of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. The Company has reserved for approximately 1.5% of our patient care receivables based on accepted industry standards.

As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company reserved for approximately $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of uncollected receivables. Accounts receivable, net totaled $6.3 million at December 31, 2022 compared with $2.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Government Regulation

Healthcare Regulation. Our tenants, and the Company’s Healthcare Services segment are typically subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to quality of care, licensure and certain certificate of need (“CON”) requirements, government reimbursement, fraud and abuse practices, qualifications of personnel, adequacy of plant and equipment, data privacy and security, and other laws and regulations governing the operation of healthcare facilities. We expect that the healthcare industry will, in general, continue to face increased regulation and pressure in these areas. The applicable rules are wide-ranging and can subject our tenants to civil, criminal, and administrative sanctions, including: the possible loss of accreditation or license; denial of reimbursement; imposition of fines; suspension, decertification, or exclusion from federal and state healthcare

10

programs; or facility closure. Changes in laws or regulations, reimbursement policies, enforcement activity, and regulatory non-compliance by tenants, operators, and managers can all have a significant effect on their operations and financial condition. These effects may adversely impact us, as detailed below, and set forth under Part I-. Item 1A – ..“Risk Factors” in this Annual Report.

Although the properties within our portfolio may be subject to varying levels of governmental scrutiny, we expect that the healthcare industry, in general, will continue to face increased regulation and pressure in the areas of fraud, waste, and abuse, including, but not limited to, the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Federal Stark Law, the Federal False Claims Act, and comparable state counterparts, as well as cost control, healthcare management, and provision of services, among others. We also expect increased and continued efforts by third-party payors, such as the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, and private insurance carriers (including health maintenance organizations and other health plans), to impose greater discounts and more stringent cost controls upon tenants (through changes in reimbursement rates and methodologies, discounted fee structures, the assumption by healthcare providers of all or a portion of the financial risk, or other possible measures). A significant expansion of applicable federal, state or local laws and regulations, existing or future healthcare reform measures, new interpretations of existing laws and regulations, changes in enforcement priorities, or significant limits on the scope of services reimbursed or reductions in reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on certain of our tenants’ liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and, in turn, their ability to satisfy their contractual obligations, including making rental payments under and otherwise complying with the terms of our leases.

Licensure, Certification and CONs. In general, the operators of our SNFs must be licensed and periodically certified through various regulatory agencies that determine compliance with federal, state, and local laws to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Legal requirements pertaining to such licensure and certification relate to the quality of medical care provided by the operator, qualifications of the tenant’s administrative personnel and clinical staff, adequacy of the physical plant and equipment, and continuing compliance with applicable laws and regulations. A loss of licensure or certification could adversely affect a skilled nursing facility’s ability to receive payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which, in turn, could adversely affect its ability to satisfy its obligations to us.

In addition, many of our SNFs are subject to state CON laws that require governmental approval prior to the development or expansion of healthcare facilities and services. The approval process in these states generally requires a facility to demonstrate the need for additional or expanded healthcare facilities or services. CONs, where applicable, are also sometimes necessary for changes in ownership or control of licensed facilities, addition of beds, investment in major capital equipment, and introduction of new services or termination of services previously approved through the CON process. CON laws and regulations may restrict a tenant’s ability to expand our properties and grow its business in certain circumstances. Such restrictions could have an adverse effect on the tenant’s revenues and, in turn, its ability to make rental payments under and otherwise comply with the terms of our leases. In addition, CON laws may constrain the ability of an operator to transfer responsibility for operating a particular facility to a new operator. If we have to replace a property operator who is excluded from participating in a federal or state healthcare program (as discussed below), our ability to do so may be affected by a particular state’s CON laws, regulations, and applicable guidance governing such changes.

Compared to SNFs, seniors housing communities (other than those that receive Medicaid payments) do not receive significant funding from governmental healthcare programs and are subject to relatively few, if any, federal regulations. Instead, to the extent they are regulated, such regulation consists primarily of state and local laws governing licensure, provision of services, staffing requirements, and other operational matters, which vary greatly from one jurisdiction to another. Although recent growth in the U.S. seniors housing industry has attracted the attention of various federal agencies that believe more federal regulation of these properties is necessary, Congress thus far has deferred to state regulation of seniors housing communities. However, as a result of this growth and increased federal scrutiny, some states have revised and strengthened their regulation of seniors housing communities. More states are expected to do the same in the future.

Fraud and Abuse Enforcement, Other Related Laws, Initiatives, and Considerations. Long-term/post-acute care facilities (and seniors housing facilities that receive Medicaid payments) are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidance governing their operations and financial and other arrangements. Some of these laws prohibit direct or indirect payments of any kind for the purpose of inducing or encouraging the referral of patients for medical products or services reimbursable by government healthcare programs. Other laws require providers to furnish only medically necessary services and submit to the government valid and accurate statements for each service. Still,

11

other laws require providers to comply with a variety of safety, health, and other requirements relating to the condition of the licensed property and the quality of care provided. Sanctions for violations of these laws, regulations, and other applicable guidance may include, but are not limited to, criminal and/or civil penalties and fines, loss of licensure, immediate termination of government payments, and exclusion from any government healthcare program. In certain circumstances, violation of these rules (such as those prohibiting abusive and fraudulent behavior) with respect to one property may subject other facilities under common control or ownership to sanctions, including exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, as well as other government healthcare programs. In the ordinary course of its business, a property operator is regularly subjected to inquiries, investigations, and audits by the federal and state agencies that oversee these laws and regulations.

Long-term/post-acute care facilities (and seniors housing facilities that receive Medicaid payments) are also subject to the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute. This law generally prohibits persons from offering, providing, soliciting, or receiving remuneration to induce either the referral of an individual or the furnishing of a good or service for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. Long-term/post-acute care facilities are also subject to the Federal Ethics in Patient Referral Act of 1989, commonly referred to as the Stark Law. The Stark Law prohibits submitting claims to Medicare if the claim results from a physician referral for certain designated services to a health service provider with whom the physician has a financial relationship unless the arrangement qualifies under one of the exceptions for a financial relationship, as set forth under the Stark Law. Similar prohibitions on physician self-referrals and submission of claims apply to state Medicaid programs. Furthermore, long-term/post-acute care facilities (and seniors housing facilities that receive Medicaid payments) are subject to substantial financial penalties under the Civil Monetary Penalties Act and the Federal False Claims Act and, in particular, actions under the Federal False Claims Act and its “whistleblower” provisions. Private enforcement of healthcare fraud has increased due in large part to amendments to the Federal False Claims Act that encourage private individuals (commonly called “whistleblowers”) to sue on behalf of the government. These whistleblower suits brought by private individuals, known as qui tam actions, may be filed by almost anyone, including present and former patients, nurses and other employees, and competitors. Significantly, if a claim is successfully adjudicated, the Federal False Claims Act provides for treble damages and a civil penalty of up to $27,018 per claim.

Prosecutions, investigations, or whistleblower actions could have a material adverse effect on a property operator’s liquidity, financial condition, and operations, which could adversely affect the ability of the operator to meet its financial obligations to us. Finally, various state false claim act, anti-kickback laws and self-referral prohibitions may also apply to each property operator. Violation of any of the foregoing statutes can result in criminal and/or civil penalties that could have a material adverse effect on the ability of an operator to meet its financial obligations to us.

Other legislative developments, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), have greatly expanded the definition of healthcare fraud and related offenses and broadened its scope to include private healthcare plans in addition to government payors. Congress also has greatly increased funding for the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”) to audit, investigate, and prosecute suspected healthcare fraud. Moreover, a significant portion of the billions in healthcare fraud recoveries over the past several years has also been returned to government agencies to further fund their fraud investigation and prosecution efforts.

Additionally, other HIPAA provisions and regulations provide for communication of health information through standard electronic transaction formats and for the privacy and security of health information. In order to comply with the applicable regulations, healthcare providers often must undertake significant operational and technical implementation efforts. Operators also may face significant financial exposure if they fail to maintain the privacy and security of medical records and other personal health information about individuals. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act, passed in February 2009, strengthened the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Secretary’s authority to impose civil money penalties for HIPAA violations occurring after February 18, 2009. HITECH directs the HHS Secretary to provide for periodic audits to ensure covered entities and their business associates (as that term is defined under HIPAA) comply with the applicable HITECH requirements, increasing the likelihood that a HIPAA violation will result in an enforcement action. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an interim Final Rule which conformed HIPAA enforcement regulations to HITECH, increasing the maximum penalty for multiple violations of a single requirement or prohibition to $1.9 million. Higher penalties may accrue for violations of multiple requirements or prohibitions. Additionally, on January 17, 2013, CMS released an omnibus final

12

rule, which expands the applicability of HIPAA and HITECH and strengthens the government’s ability to enforce these laws. The final rule broadens the definition of “business associate” and provides for civil money penalty liability against covered entities and business associates for the acts of their agents regardless of whether a business associate agreement is in place. This rule also modified the standard for when a breach of unsecured personally identifiable health information must be reported. Some covered entities have entered into settlement agreements with HHS for allegedly failing to adopt policies and procedures sufficient to implement the breach notification provisions in the HITECH Act. Additionally, the final rule adopts certain changes to the HIPAA enforcement regulations to incorporate the increased and tiered civil monetary penalty structure provided by HITECH, and makes business associates of covered entities directly liable under HIPAA for compliance with certain of the HIPAA privacy standards and HIPAA security standards. HIPAA violations are also potentially subject to criminal penalties.

There has been an increased federal and state HIPAA privacy and security enforcement effort and we expect this trend to continue. Under HITECH, state attorneys general have the right to prosecute HIPAA violations committed against residents of their states. Several such actions have been brought against covered entities and business associates, and continued enforcement actions are likely to occur in the future. In addition, HITECH mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates. It also tasks HHS with establishing a methodology whereby individuals who are harmed by HIPAA violations may receive a percentage of the civil monetary penalty fine or monetary settlement paid by the violator.

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other state and federal laws govern the collection, dissemination, use, access to, and confidentiality of individually identifiable health information. In addition, some states are considering new laws and regulations that further protect the confidentiality, privacy, or security of medical records or other types of medical or personal information. These laws may be similar to or even more stringent than the federal provisions, in which case they are not preempted by HIPAA. Not only may some of these state laws impose fines and penalties upon violators, but some afford private rights of action to individuals who believe their personal information has been misused.

Also, with respect to HIPAA, in September 2015, OIG issued two reports calling for better privacy oversight of covered entities by the CMS Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”). The first report, titled “OCR Should Strengthen its Oversight of Covered Entities’ Compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Standards,” found that OCR’s oversight is primarily reactive, as OCR has not fully implemented the required audit program to proactively assess possible noncompliance from covered entities. OIG recommended, among other things, that OCR fully implement a permanent audit program and develop a policy requiring OCR staff to check whether covered entities had previously been investigated for noncompliance. The second report, titled “OCR Should Strengthen its Follow-up of Breaches of Patient Information Reported by Covered Entities,” found that (1) OCR did not record corrective action information for 23% of closed “large-breach” cases in which it made determinations of noncompliance, and (2) OCR did not record “small-breach” information in its case-tracking system, which limits its ability to track and identify covered entities with multiple small breaches. OIG recommended, among other things, that OCR enter small-breach information into its case-tracking system and maintain complete documentation of corrective actions taken. OCR agreed with OIG’s recommendations in both reports. If followed, these reports and recommendations may impact our tenants.

With respect to HIPAA, OCR announced on March 21, 2016, that it had begun a new phase of audits of covered entities and their business associates. OCR stated that it would review policies and procedures adopted and employed by covered entities and their business associates to meet selected standards and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.

Congress has significantly increased funding to the governmental agencies charged with enforcing the healthcare fraud and abuse laws to facilitate increased audits, investigations, and prosecutions of providers suspected of healthcare fraud. As a result, government investigations and enforcement actions brought against healthcare providers have increased significantly in recent years and are expected to continue. A violation of federal or state anti-fraud and abuse laws or regulations, or other related laws or regulations discussed above, by a tenant of our properties could have a material adverse effect on the tenant’s liquidity, financial condition, or operations, which could adversely affect its ability to satisfy its contractual obligations, including making rental payments under and otherwise complying with the terms of our leases. The Company could also be adversely affected in the event of a direct violation of such laws or regulations by the Company in its capacity as facility operator with respect to the Company’s Health Services segment, or in its capacity as business associate with respect to facilities managed by the Company.

Cares Act and COVID-19 Related Legislation

In 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress enacted a series of economic stimulus and relief measures through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (“PPPHCE Act”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”). In total, the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, and the CAA authorized $178 billion in funding to be distributed to healthcare providers through the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (“Provider Relief Fund”). These funds are intended to reimburse eligible providers for healthcare-related expenses or lost revenues attributable to COVID-19. Recipients are not required to repay Provider Relief Fund payments as long as they attest to and comply with certain terms and conditions, including reporting requirements, limitations on balance billing, and not using Provider Relief Fund payments to reimburse expenses or losses that other sources have reimbursed or are obligated to reimburse.

The Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) began distributing Provider Relief Fund payments in April 2020 and has made funds available to various provider groups in phases. HHS continues to evaluate and provide allocations of, and issue regulations and guidance regarding, grants made under the CARES Act and related legislation. A number of our tenants have received grants under these laws; however, there are uncertainties regarding the extent to which our tenants will receive such funds, the financial impact of receiving such funds on their operations or financial condition, and whether such tenants will be able to meet the compliance requirements associated with the funds.

The CARES Act and related legislation include other provisions offering financial relief. This includes Medicare and Medicaid payment adjustments and an expansion of the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program, which made available accelerated payment of Medicare funds in order to increase cash flow to providers. These payments are loans that providers must repay. Additionally, CMS suspended Medicare sequestration payment adjustments from May 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021, which would have otherwise reduced payments to Medicare providers by 2 percent, but also extended sequestration through 2030. In addition to offering economic relief to individuals and businesses, the CARES Act and related legislation include provisions intended to expand coverage of COVID-19 testing and preventative services, address healthcare workforce needs, ease restrictions on telehealth services during the crisis, and ease other legal and regulatory burdens on healthcare providers. Due to recent enactment of the CARES Act, the PPPHCE Act, and the CAA, there is still a high degree of uncertainty surrounding their implementation, and the public health emergency continues to evolve.

On June 16, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crises announced the launch of an investigation into the COVID-19 response of nursing homes and the use of federal funds by nursing homes during the pandemic. The Select Subcommittee continued to be active throughout the remainder of 2020 and 2021. In March 2021, the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on examining the impact of private equity in the U.S. health care system, including the impact on quality of care provided within the skilled nursing industry. These investigations and hearings could result in legislation imposing additional requirement on our tenant operators.

COVID-19 Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the respiratory illness caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has led governments and other authorities in the United States to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to protect its spread adversely affected our business in 2022, and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our business in 2023 and beyond, for a variety of reasons, including those discussed below and elsewhere hereunder.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company is aware that each of our facilities has reported one or more positive cases of COVID-19 among the residents and/or operator employee populations. Many of our operators have reported incurring significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with dramatic increases for facilities with positive cases. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, testing equipment, processes and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination or suspension of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs, and higher hospital readmittances from SNFs.

14

The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities, operated by our tenants, which also may affect our tenants’ ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements. In addition, our tenants’ operations could be further disrupted if any of their employees, or the employees of their vendors, have, or are suspected of having, COVID-19. This has caused, and may cause in the future, our tenants or their vendors to experience staffing shortages, and this could potentially require our tenants and their vendors to close parts of or entire facilities, distribution centers, or other buildings to disinfect any affected areas.

We could also be adversely affected if government authorities impose upon our tenants, or their vendors, certain restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These restrictions may be in the form of mandatory closures, requested voluntary closures, bans on new admissions, restricted operations, or restrictions on the importation of necessary equipment or supplies which may adversely affect our tenants’ operations and their ability to make rental payments to us moving forward. In addition, family members may elect to keep nursing facility residents at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus reducing our tenants’ revenue. Currently, a number of our tenants have stopped admitting new patients due to rising COVID-19 infections resulting in decreased revenues.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our tenants may face lawsuits for alleged negligence associated with their responses to the emergency. The costs associated with defending, settling, or paying damages from such claims could negatively impact our tenants’ operating budgets and affect their ability to meet their obligations under our leases. Further, we may be subject to increased lawsuits arising out of our alleged actions or the alleged actions of our tenants for which they have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. An unfavorable resolution of any such pending or future litigation could materially adversely affect us. The Company is not aware of any such lawsuits against our tenants.

If our tenants are unable to make rental payments to us pursuant to their lease obligations, whether due to the tenants’ decrease in revenues or otherwise, then, in some cases, we may be forced to either attempt to replace tenants or restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place.

While the Company has received approximately 80% of its expected monthly rental receipts from tenants for the year ended December 31, 2022, there are a number of uncertainties the Company faces as it considers the potential impact of COVID-19 on its business, including the length of census disruption, elevated COVID-19 operating costs related to personal protection equipment, cleaning supplies, virus testing and increased overtime due to staff illness and the extent to which federal and state funding support will offset these incremental costs for our tenants. To the extent government support is not sufficient or timely to offset these impacts, or to the extent these trends continue or accelerate and are not offset by additional government relief that is sufficient or timely, the operating results of our operators are likely to be adversely affected, some may be unwilling or unable to pay their contractual obligations to us in full or on a timely basis, as has occurred with more than one of our operators.

We also do not know the number of facilities that will ultimately experience widespread, high-cost outbreaks of COVID-19, and while we have requested reporting of case numbers from our operators and CMS has required additional reporting by operators, we may not receive accurate information on the number of cases, which could result in a delay in reporting. We expect to see continued increased clinical protocols for infection control within facilities and increased monitoring of employees, guests and other individuals entering facilities; however, we do not yet know if future reimbursement rates will be sufficient to cover the increased costs of enhanced infection control and monitoring. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our and our tenants’ operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the ultimate duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, which may depend on factors such as the development and implementation of an effective vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, government funds and other support for the senior care sector and the efficacy of other policies and measures that may mitigate the impact of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to these uncertainties, we are unable at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic led to CMS, the OIG and other regulatory agencies implementing various waivers and flexibilities intended to minimize burdens for healthcare providers and other industry participants that faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. These included, for example, coverage requirement waivers (e.g., three-day prior hospitalization requirement for SNF stay coverage), exercising administrative discretion in fraud and

15

abuse enforcement, and waivers relating to telehealth and licensure requirements. On January 30, 2023, the Biden Administration announced its intent to end the national emergency and public health emergency declarations on May 11, 2023, related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, many of the waivers and flexibilities that were implemented by CMS, the OIG and other regulatory agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are now scheduled to expire on May 11, 2023. We are unable to estimate at this time the impact these developments may have on the Company’s business.

Government Reimbursement

The majority of SNFs reimbursement, including our Lumber City, LaGrange, Thomasville, Glenvue and Tara Facilities, is through Medicare and Medicaid. These programs are often SNF’s largest source of funding. Senior housing communities generally do not receive funding from Medicare or Medicaid, but their ability to retain their residents is impacted by policy decisions and initiatives established by the administrators of Medicare and Medicaid. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Healthcare Reform Law”). The passage of the Healthcare Reform Law allowed formerly uninsured Americans to acquire coverage and utilize additional healthcare services. In addition, the Healthcare Reform Law gave the CMS new authorities to implement Medicaid waiver and pilot programs that impact healthcare and long-term custodial care reimbursement by Medicare and Medicaid. These activities promote “aging in place,” allowing senior citizens to stay longer in senior housing communities and diverting or delaying their admission into SNFs. In December 2017, Congress eliminated the penalty associated with the individual mandate to maintain health insurance effective January 1, 2019. In December 2018, as a result of the penalty associated with the individual mandate being eliminated, a federal trial court in Texas found that the entire ACA was unconstitutional. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and sent the case back to the trial court for additional analysis as to whether the rest of the ACA can survive. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the case, and on June 17, 2021, dismissed the case, holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the mandate or the remainder of the ACA. Additionally, final rules issued in 2018 expand the availability of association health plans and allow the sale of short-term, limited-duration health plans, neither of which are required to cover all of the essential health benefits mandated by the ACA. These changes may impact the number of individuals that elect to obtain public or private health insurance or the scope of such coverage, if purchased. We cannot predict the ultimate impact of these developments on our tenants. The potential risks, however, that accompany these regulatory and market changes are discussed below.

19

We are an ongoing participant in, and a direct recipient of, reimbursement under these government reimbursement programs with respect to the Lumber City, LaGrange, Thomasville, Glenvue and Tara Facilities. Additionally, a significant portion of the revenue of the healthcare operators to which we lease, and sublease properties is derived from governmentally-funded reimbursement programs, and any adverse change in such programs could negatively impact an operator’s ability to meet its obligations to us and our operating results directly due to the Company operating the Lumber City, LaGrange, Thomasville, Glenvue and Tara Facilities.

Environmental Regulation

As an owner of real property, we are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding environmental, health and safety matters.

These laws and regulations address, among other things, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, fuel oil management, wastewater discharges, air emissions, radioactive materials, medical wastes, and hazardous wastes, and, in certain cases, the costs of complying with these laws and regulations and the penalties for non-compliance can be substantial. Although we do not currently operate or manage our properties, we may be held primarily or jointly and severally liable for costs relating to the investigation and clean-up of our current and former properties from which there is or has been an actual or threatened release of a regulated material and any other affected properties, regardless of whether we knew of or caused the release. Such costs typically are not limited by law or regulation and could exceed the property’s value. In addition, we may be liable for certain other costs, such as governmental fines and injuries to persons, property or natural resources, as a result of any such actual or threatened release.

Under the terms of our leases, we generally have a right to indemnification by the tenants of our properties for any contamination caused by them. However, there is no assurance that our tenants will have the financial capability or willingness to satisfy their respective indemnification obligations to us, and any failure, inability or unwillingness to do so may require us to satisfy the underlying environmental claims. In general, we have also agreed to indemnify our tenants against any environmental claims (including penalties and clean-up costs) resulting from any condition arising in, on or under, or relating to, our properties at any time before the applicable lease commencement date.

To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur in areas where our communities are located, we may experience increased frequency of severe weather conditions or natural disasters or other changes to weather patterns, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand for properties affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, or cash flow may be adversely affected. In addition, government regulation intended to mitigate the impact of climate change, severe weather patterns, or natural disasters could result in additional required capital expenditures to comply with such regulation without a corresponding increase in our revenues.

We did not make any material capital expenditures in connection with environmental, health, and safety laws, ordinances and regulations in 2022 or 2021.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, our Real Estate segment had 10 employees of which all were full-time employees (excluding facility-level employees related to the Company’s Management Contract for three facilities in Ohio). Our Healthcare Services segment had approximately 136 full-time equivalent employees. The Company’s Healthcare Services segment has had to utilize agency staffing to a much greater degree due to the COVID-19 pandemic related staffing shortages. The Company is actively working to attract and retain permanent employees. We offer benefits to care for the diverse needs of our employees. These include health benefits, paid vacations, benefits to support employee mental health, including an employee assistance program. As we continue to face evolving environmental and health challenges, we continually review our offerings to improve the competitiveness of our total compensation programs, including our health benefit offerings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, operations and financial condition. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. This section does not describe all risks applicable to our business, and we intend it Item 1A only as a summary of certain material factors. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of the common stock, no par value per share (the "common stock"), and the 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, no par value per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), could decline.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our portfolio stabilization in our Healthcare Services segment expose the Company to the various risks facing our tenants.

While the Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living, when business conditions require, the Company may undertake portfolio stabilization measures in order to preserve the value of our assets. This portfolio stabilization measure exposes the Company directly to all the risks our tenants face as discussed in this “Risk Factor -Risk Related to our Business and Industry" section.

Our leases with tenants comprise our rental revenue and any failure, inability or unwillingness by these tenants to satisfy their obligations under our agreements could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our business depends upon our tenants meeting their obligations to us, including their obligations to pay rent, maintain certain insurance coverage, pay real estate and other taxes and maintain and repair the leased properties. We give no assurance that these tenants will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to satisfy their respective obligations to us, and any failure, inability or unwillingness by these tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any failure by these tenants to effectively conduct their operations or to maintain and improve our properties could adversely affect their business reputation and their ability to attract and retain patients and residents in our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Our tenants have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities arising in connection with their respective businesses, and we give no assurance that our tenants will have sufficient assets, income, access to financing and insurance coverage to enable them to satisfy their respective indemnification obligations.

We are subject to risks associated with public health crises, severe cold and flu seasons, epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and other widespread illnesses.

We are subject to risks associated with public health crises, severe cold and flu seasons, epidemics and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other widespread illnesses. In addition, we are subject to risk associated with government measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including the global health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is impossible to predict the severity of the annual cold and flu season or the occurrence of epidemics, pandemics or any other widespread illnesses.

21

The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our business, operations, and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed below:

Public health crises, severe cold and flu seasons, epidemics and pandemics, and other widespread illnesses could result in adverse impacts on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Additional risks that may be associated with other future public health crises, severe cold and flu seasons, epidemics or pandemics, or other widespread illnesses include:

22

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or other future health crises, may impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, and those of our operators, depends on many factors which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict. These factors include, but are not limited to, the duration, spread and severity of any outbreak, the timing, distribution and efficacy of vaccines and other treatments, the actions taken to contain the outbreak or health crisis or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic or other health crisis and containment measures.

We depend on affiliates of Aspire and C.R Management for a significant portion of our revenues and any inability or unwillingness by such entities to satisfy their obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on us.

As of the date of filing this Annual Report, our 13 properties (excluding the three facilities that are managed by us) are operated by a total of 11 separate tenants and two by the Company, with each of our tenants being affiliated with one of six local or regionally-focused operators. We refer to our tenants who are affiliated with the same operator as a group of affiliated tenants. Each of our operators operate (through a group of affiliated tenants) between one and five of our facilities, with our material operators, Aspire and C.R Management, each operating (through a group of affiliated tenants) five and two facilities, respectively. We therefore depend on tenants who are affiliated with Aspire and C.R Management for a significant portion of our revenues. We give no assurance that the tenants affiliated with C.R Management and Aspire will have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them to make rental payments to us or to otherwise satisfy their obligations under the applicable leases and subleases, and any inability or unwillingness by such tenants to do so could have a material adverse effect on us.

A prolonged economic slowdown could adversely impact the results of operations of our tenants, which could impair their ability to meet their obligations to us.

We believe the risks associated with our investments will be more acute during periods of economic slowdown or recession (such as the most recent recession) due to the adverse impact caused by various factors, including pandemics and other public health crises, inflation, deflation, increased unemployment, volatile energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, a distressed real estate market, market volatility and weakened business and consumer confidence. This difficult operating environment caused by an economic slowdown or recession could have an adverse impact on the ability of our tenants to maintain occupancy rates, as the Company has experienced with its Healthcare Services segment, which could harm their financial condition and our financial condition Any sustained period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses by our tenants could adversely affect our income from investments in our portfolio.

23

Increased competition, as well as increased operating costs, could result in lower revenues for some of our tenants (and our Healthcare Services segment) and may affect their ability to meet their obligations to us.

The long-term care industry is highly competitive, and we expect that it will become more competitive in the future. The Company and our tenants are competing with numerous other companies providing similar healthcare services or alternatives such as home health agencies, life care at home, community-based service programs, retirement communities and convalescent centers. The Company and our tenants compete on a number of different levels, including the quality of care provided, reputation, the physical appearance of a facility, price, the range of services offered, family preference, alternatives for healthcare delivery, the supply of competing properties, physicians, staff, referral sources, location and the size and demographics of the population in the surrounding areas. Operating expenses such as food, utilities, taxes, insurance and rent or debt service continue to increase. We cannot be certain that all of our tenants will be able to achieve occupancy and rate levels that will enable them to meet their full obligations to us. Our tenants may encounter increased competition in the future that could limit their ability to attract patients or residents or expand their businesses which would in turn affect their ability to make their lease payments to us.

In addition, the market for qualified nurses, healthcare professionals and other key personnel is highly competitive, and the Company and our tenants may experience difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Increases in labor costs due to higher wages and greater benefits required to attract and retain qualified healthcare personnel incurred by our tenants could affect their ability to meet their obligations to us. This situation could be particularly acute in certain states and cities that have enacted legislation establishing minimum staffing requirements. The Tara Facility has incurred additional expenses related to the high cost of staffing agencies.

Disasters and other adverse events may seriously harm our business.

Our facilities and our business may suffer harm as a result of natural or man-made disasters such as storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, terrorist attacks and other conditions. The impact, or impending threat, of such events may require that our tenants evacuate one or more facilities, which could be costly and would involve risks, including potentially fatal risks, for their patients. The impact of disasters and similar events is inherently uncertain. Such events could harm our tenants’ patients and employees, severely damage or destroy one or more of our facilities, harm our tenants’ business, reputation and financial performance, or otherwise cause our tenants’ businesses to suffer in ways that we are unable to predict.

Tenant financial or legal difficulties could limit or delay our ability to collect unpaid rents or require us to find new tenants.

If a lessee experiences financial or legal difficulties, it could fail to pay us rent when due, assert counterclaims, or seek bankruptcy protection. In the case of a master lease, this risk is magnified, as a default could reduce or eliminate rental revenue from several properties. Over the past three years, four of our operators have experienced or continue to experience financial or legal difficulties resulting in non-payment of rent or bankruptcy. See Part II, Item 7., Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—“Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators” for further discussion. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and depending on its scope and duration could continue to cause, financial and legal difficulties for certain of our lessees. If an operator is unable to comply with the terms of its leases, we could be asked to defer rent or forced to modify the leases in ways that are unfavorable to us. Alternatively, the failure of an operator to perform its obligations under a lease or other agreements with us could force us to declare a default and terminate the lease. There can be no assurance that we would be able to find a suitable replacement operator or re-lease the property on substantially equivalent or better terms than the prior lease, if at all. If a lessee seeks bankruptcy protection, it could delay our efforts to collect past due amounts owed to us under the applicable lease and ultimately preclude collection of all or a portion of those amounts.

We have been and may in the future be named as a defendant in litigation involving the services provided by our tenants. Although we generally have no involvement in the services provided by our tenants, and our standard lease agreements generally require our tenants to indemnify us and carry insurance to protect us in certain cases, a significant judgment against us in such litigation could exceed the aggregate of our and our respective tenants’ insurance coverage, which would require us to make payments to cover any such judgment.

24

Our tenants who engage in business with the federal government may be sued under a federal whistleblower statute designed to combat fraud and abuse in the healthcare industry. See “Government Regulation-Healthcare Regulation” in Part I, Item 1., “Business” in this Annual Report. These lawsuits can involve significant monetary damages and award bounties to private plaintiffs who successfully bring these suits. If any of these lawsuits are brought against our tenants, such suits combined with increased operating costs and substantial uninsured liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our tenants’ liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and on their ability to satisfy their obligations under our leases, which, could in turn, have a material adverse effect on us.

If we must replace any of our tenants, we might be unable to rent the properties on as favorable terms, or at all, in which case we may operate the facility ourselves and we could be subject to delays, limitations and expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We cannot predict whether our tenants will renew existing leases beyond their current term. If any of our triple-net leases are not renewed, we would attempt to rent those properties to another tenant. In addition, following expiration of a lease term or if we exercise our right to replace a tenant in default, rental payments on the related properties could decline or cease altogether while we reposition the properties with a suitable replacement tenant. We also might not be successful in identifying suitable replacements or entering into leases or other arrangements with new tenants on a timely basis or on terms as favorable to us as our current leases, if at all, and we may be required to fund certain expenses and obligations (e.g., real estate and bed taxes, and maintenance expenses) to preserve the value of, and avoid the imposition of liens on, our properties while they are being repositioned. In addition, we may incur certain obligations and liabilities, including obligations to indemnify the replacement tenant, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

In the event of non-renewal or a tenant default, our ability to reposition our properties with a suitable replacement tenant could be significantly delayed or limited by state licensing, receivership, CON or other laws, as well as by the Medicare and Medicaid change-of-ownership rules, and we could incur substantial additional expenses in connection with any licensing, receivership or change-of-ownership proceedings.

Healthcare facilities are typically highly customized and may not be easily adapted to non-healthcare-related uses. The improvements generally required to conform a property to healthcare use, such as upgrading electrical, gas and plumbing infrastructure and security, are costly and at times tenant-specific. A new or replacement tenant may require different features in a property, depending on that tenant’s particular operations. If a current tenant is unable to pay rent and vacates a property, we may incur substantial expenditures to modify a property before we are able to secure another tenant. Supply chain volatility and labor shortages may increase these construction costs. In addition, approvals of local authorities for any required modifications and/or renovations may be necessary, resulting in delays in transitioning a facility to a new tenant. These expenditures or renovations and delays could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Moreover, in connection with certain of our properties, we have entered into intercreditor agreements with the tenants’ lenders or tri-party agreements with our lenders. Our ability to exercise remedies under the applicable leases or to reposition the applicable properties may be significantly delayed or limited by the terms of the intercreditor agreement or tri-party agreement. Any such delay or limit on our rights and remedies could adversely affect our ability to mitigate our losses and could have a material adverse effect on us.

The amount and scope of insurance coverage provided by policies maintained by ourselves and our tenants may not adequately insure against losses.

We maintain or require in our leases that our tenants maintain all applicable lines of insurance on our properties and their operations. Although we regularly review the amount and scope of insurance maintained by our tenants and believe the coverage provided to be customary for similarly situated companies in our industry, we give no assurance that our tenants will continue to be able to maintain adequate levels of insurance. We also give no assurance that our tenants will maintain the required coverages, that we will continue to require the same levels of insurance under our leases, that such insurance will be available at a reasonable cost in the future or that the policies maintained will fully cover all losses on our properties upon the occurrence of a catastrophic event, nor can we make any guarantee as to the future financial viability of the insurers that underwrite the policies maintained by our tenants.

25

For various reasons, including to reduce and manage costs, many healthcare companies utilize different organizational and corporate structures coupled with captive programs that may provide less insurance coverage than a traditional insurance policy. Companies that insure any part of their general and professional liability risks through their own captive limited purpose entities generally estimate the future cost of general and professional liability through actuarial studies that rely primarily on historical data. However, due to the rise in the number and severity of professional claims against healthcare providers, these actuarial studies may underestimate the future cost of claims, and reserves for future claims may not be adequate to cover the actual cost of those claims. As a result, the tenants of our properties who self-insure could incur large funded and unfunded general and professional liability expenses, which could materially adversely affect their liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and, in turn, their ability to satisfy their obligations to us. If tenants of our properties decide to implement a captive or self-insurance program, any large funded and unfunded general and professional liability expenses incurred could have a material adverse effect on us.

Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could incur substantial liability or lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenues from the property. Following the occurrence of such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We give no assurance that material uninsured losses, or losses in excess of insurance proceeds, will not occur in the future.

Our tenants and our Healthcare Segment depend on reimbursement from governmental and other third-party payors, and reimbursement rates from such payors may be reduced.

The ability of our tenants to generate revenue and profit determines the underlying value of that property to us. Revenues of our tenants are generally derived from payments for patient care. Sources of such payments include the federal Medicare program, state Medicaid programs, private insurance carriers, health care service plans, health maintenance organizations, preferred provider arrangements, self-insured employers, as well as the patients themselves.

The health care industry continues to face increased government and private payor pressure on health care providers to control costs. Federal legislative and regulatory policies have been adopted and may continue to be proposed that would reduce Medicare and/or Medicaid payments to nursing facilities. Moreover, state budget pressures continue to result in adoption of Medicaid provider payment reductions in some states. Increasingly, state Medicaid programs are providing coverage through managed care programs under contracts with private health plans, which is intended to decrease state Medicaid costs. In light of continuing federal and state Medicaid program reforms, budget cuts, and regulatory initiatives, no assurance can be given that the implementation of such regulations and reforms will not have an adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of our tenants and/or borrowers which, in turn, could affect their ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

Furthermore, on December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted and signed into law that repealed the individual mandate in the ACA. Because the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2012 decision finding the ACA constitutional was grounded, at least in part, on the inclusion of the individual mandate in the law, a federal trial court found the entire law unconstitutional upon the mandate’s repeal. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and sent the case back to the trial court for additional analysis as to whether the rest of the ACA could survive. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review the case, and on June 17, 2021, dismissed the case, holding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the mandate or the remainder of the ACA. While there have been efforts to repeal the law and enact alternative reforms, the Biden Administration has indicated it will support and expand upon the ACA. There is no assurance that the implementation of ACA or any subsequent modifications or

26

related legal challenges will not adversely impact the operations cash flows or financial conditions of our lessees, which subsequently could materially and adversely impact our revenue and operations.

Changes in the reimbursement rates or methods of payment from third-party payors, including insurance companies and the Medicare and Medicaid programs, could have a material adverse effect on our tenants and directly upon our Healthcare Services segment.

Our Healthcare Services segment and tenants rely on reimbursement from third-party payors, including the Medicare (both traditional Medicare and “managed” Medicare/Medicare Advantage) and Medicaid programs, for substantially all of their revenues, as does our Healthcare Services segment. Federal and state legislators and regulators have adopted or proposed various cost-containment measures that would limit payments to healthcare providers, and budget crises and financial shortfalls have caused states to implement or consider Medicaid rate freezes or cuts. Private third-party payors also have continued their efforts to control healthcare costs. We give no assurance that our Healthcare Services segment or tenants that currently depend on governmental or private payor reimbursement will be adequately reimbursed for the services they provide. Significant limits by governmental and private third-party payors on the scope of services reimbursed or on reimbursement rates could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, financial condition, and operations of some of our tenants. These limits may be imposed by statutory and regulatory changes, retroactive rate adjustments, recovery of program overpayments or set-offs, court decisions, administrative rulings, policy interpretations, payment or other delays by fiscal intermediaries or carriers, government funding restrictions (at a program level or with respect to specific facilities), interruption or delays in payments due to any ongoing government investigations and audits at such property, or private payor efforts. Additionally, these limits could adversely affect our tenants' ability to comply with the terms of our leases and have a material adverse effect on us.

We pursue property acquisitions and seek strategic opportunities in the ordinary course of our business, which may result in significant usage of management resources or costs, and we may not fully realize the potential benefits of such transactions or the acquisition may not prove to be successful.

We regularly review, evaluate, engage in discussions regarding, and pursue acquisitions of properties and seek other strategic opportunities in the ordinary course of business in order to maximize stockholder value. We may devote a significant amount of our management resources to, and incur significant costs in connection with, such transactions, which may not result in definitive agreements or the completion of any transaction and could negatively impact our operations. In addition, there is no assurance that we will fully realize the potential benefits of any past or future acquisition or strategic transaction. Also, we might encounter unanticipated difficulties and expenditures relating to our acquired healthcare properties, including contingent liabilities, or our newly acquired healthcare properties might require significant management attention that would otherwise be devoted to our ongoing business. Such costs may negatively affect our results of operations.

If we are unable to resolve our professional and general liability actions on terms acceptable to us, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated SNFs resulted in injury or death to former patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time if settlement is advantageous to the Company, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and there is risk in the Company’s strategy of aggressively defending these cases. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

As of the date of filing this Annual Report, the Company is a defendant in 10 professional and general liability actions, one such action was commenced on behalf of a former patient of the Company and the remaining actions were commenced by former patients of the Company’s current or prior tenants. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients who were allegedly injured or died while patients of our facilities due to professional negligence or understaffing. One such action, on behalf of the Company’s former patient, is covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. 9 of such actions relate to events which occurred after the Company transitioned (the "Transition") the operations of the

27

facilities in question to a third-party operator and which are subject to such operators’ indemnification obligations in favor of the Company.

The Company maintains insurance for professional and general liability claims for its Healthcare Services segment, which included in 2022 the LaGrange, Lumber City, Meadowood, Thomasville, Glenvue and Tara Facilities, however for claims prior to January 1, 2020, the Company is self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations in connection with the Transition. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets of $0.1 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million was reserved for settlement amounts in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets. See Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” in this Annual Report. Also see “Critical Accounting Policies - Self Insurance Reserve” in Part II, Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report.

The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment, unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company’s estimate of settlement amounts for the pending actions, as appropriate, and legal costs of settling or litigating the pending actions, as applicable.

Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the settlement amounts actually incurred in settling the pending actions, or the legal costs actually incurred in settling or litigating the pending actions. The amount of the self-insurance reserve may increase, perhaps by a material amount, in any given period, particularly if the Company determines that it has probable exposure in one or more actions. If we are unable to resolve the pending actions on terms acceptable to us, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have a history of operating losses and may incur losses in the future.

The geographic concentration of our facilities could leave us vulnerable to an economic downturn or adverse regulatory changes in those areas.

Our properties are located in five states, with our largest presence in Ohio. As a result of this concentration, the conditions of state and local economies and real estate markets, changes in governmental rules, regulations and reimbursement rates or criteria, changes in demographics, state and local funding, acts of nature and other factors that may result in a decrease in demand and reimbursement for skilled nursing services in these states could have a disproportionately adverse effect on our tenants’ revenue, costs and results of operations, affecting their ability to meet their obligations to us.

Risks Related to Laws and Regulations

Healthcare reform legislation impacts cannot accurately be predicted and could adversely affect our results of operations.

We and the healthcare operators leasing our properties depend on the healthcare industry and are susceptible to risks associated with healthcare reform. Legislative proposals are introduced each year that would introduce major changes in the healthcare system, both nationally and at the state level. Certain measures could negatively affect our business or the businesses of our tenants if enacted. Efforts may also be made to reduce the age at which individuals become eligible for Medicare, which could have an adverse impact on our tenants because Medicare sometimes reimburses long term care providers at rates lower than those paid by commercial payors. We also believe that additional resources may be dedicated to regulatory enforcement, which could increase our tenants’ costs of doing business and negatively impact their ability to pay their rent obligations to us. Additional stimulus funding for state and local governments may have a positive impact on our tenants because it may alleviate some pressures on state and local governments to reduce overall Medicaid expenditures.

Our tenants are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry that include those relating to, among other things, licensure, conduct of operations, ownership of facilities, addition of facilities and equipment, allowable costs, services, prices for services, qualified beneficiaries, quality of care, patient

28

rights and insurance, fraudulent or abusive behavior, and financial and other arrangements that may be entered into by healthcare providers. If our tenants or operators fail to comply with the laws, regulations and other requirements applicable to their businesses and the operation of our properties, they could become ineligible to receive reimbursement from governmental and private third-party payor programs, face bans on admissions of new patients or residents, suffer civil or criminal penalties or be required to make significant operational changes. Changes in enforcement policies by federal and state governments have also resulted in a significant increase in inspection rates, citations of regulatory deficiencies and sanctions, including terminations from Medicare and Medicaid programs, bars on Medicare and Medicaid payments for new admissions, civil monetary penalties and criminal penalties. Our tenants and operators could be forced to expend considerable resources responding to an investigation, lawsuit or other enforcement action under applicable laws or regulations. Additionally, if our tenants’ residents do not have insurance, it could adversely impact the tenants’ ability to satisfy their obligation to us.

Failure by our tenants to comply with various local, state, and federal government regulations may adversely impact their ability to make lease payments to us.

The failure of our tenants to comply with federal, state, or local regulations could result in penalties which could include loss or restriction of license, loss of accreditation, denial of reimbursement, imposition of fines, suspension or decertification from federal, state and local health care programs, or closure of the facility. These regulations have increased in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The loss or imposition of restrictions on any required license, registration, certificate of need, provider agreement or certification would prevent a facility from operating in the manner intended by the operator. Additionally, failure by any of our operators to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in adverse publicity and reputational harm, and therefore could harm our business.

If we or our tenants fail to adhere to applicable privacy and data security laws, or experience a data security incident or breach, this could have a material adverse effect on us or on our tenants’ ability to meet their obligations to us.

We and our tenants are subject to HIPAA and various other state and federal laws that relate to privacy and data security, including the reporting of data breaches involving personal information as discussed in “—Government Regulation,” in Part I, Item1., “Business” in this Annual Report. Failure to comply with these requirements could have a materially adverse effect on us and the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to us. Furthermore, the adoption of new privacy, security and data breach notification laws at the federal and state level could require us or our tenants to incur significant compliance costs. In addition, the cost and operational consequences of responding to cybersecurity incidents and breaches and implementing remediation measures could be significant.

While we and our tenants maintain various security controls, there is a risk of data security incidents or breaches resulting from unintentional or deliberate acts by third parties or insiders attempting to obtain unauthorized access to information, destroy or manipulate data, or disrupt or sabotage information systems. The trend toward increased remote work and rapid implementation of telehealth within the health care industry in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have created new or increased cyber risks. Cyber incidents range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our IT systems to sophisticated attacks by hacking groups and nation-state actors. Information technology systems are a vital part of the business of our Company and our tenants, and a security incident or breach could result in a material loss of business, business interruption, loss of patient or other critical data, regulatory enforcement, substantial legal liability and reputational harm. Despite the deployment of commercially reasonable efforts and sophisticated techniques to prevent cyber incidents, information systems remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used by hackers continue to evolve and are designed not to be detected. In fact, some unauthorized access may not be detected for an extended period of time. As a result, we or our tenants may suffer cybersecurity incidents where we or our tenants have implemented cybersecurity protections. A data security incident or breach occurring at or involving the Company could have a material adverse impact on our Company. Where the data security incident or breach occurs at or involves a tenant, this could jeopardize the tenant’s ability to fulfill its obligations to us.

As an owner with respect to real property, we may be exposed to possible environmental liabilities.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we, as a current or previous owner of real property, may be liable in certain circumstances for the costs of investigation, removal, remediation of, or related releases, of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, under or disposed of in connection with such property, as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances, including government fines and

29

damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose liability regardless of the owner’s knowledge of, or responsibility for, the presence or disposal of such substances. As a result, liability may be imposed on the owner in connection with the activities of an operator of the property.

The cost of any required investigation, remediation, removal, fines or personal or property damages and the owner’s liability therefor could exceed the value of the property and the assets of the owner. In addition, the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remediate such substances, may adversely affect an operator’s ability to attract additional patients or residents and our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral which, in turn, could negatively impact our revenues. See “—Environment Regulation” in Part I, Item 1., “Business” in this Annual Report."

Risks Related to Our Capital Resources and Indebtedness

Our real estate investments are relatively illiquid.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and generally cannot be sold quickly. In addition, all of our owned healthcare properties serve as collateral for our secured debt obligations and may not be readily sold. Additional factors that are specific to our industry also tend to limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. For example, all of our healthcare properties are “special purpose” properties that cannot be readily converted into general residential, retail or office use. In addition, transfers of operations of SNFs, ALF’s and other healthcare facilities are subject to regulatory approvals not required for transfers of other types of commercial operations and other types of real estate. Thus, if the operation of any of our healthcare properties becomes unprofitable due to competition, age of improvements or other factors such that a tenant becomes unable to meet its obligations to us, then the liquidation value of the property may be substantially less, particularly relative to the amount owed on any related mortgage loan, than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. Furthermore, the receipt of liquidation proceeds or the replacement of a tenant who has defaulted on its lease could be delayed by the approval process of any federal, state or local agency necessary for the transfer of the property or the replacement of the tenant with a new tenant licensed to manage the facility. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. Should such events occur, our revenues would be adversely affected.

We have substantial indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $52.2 million in indebtedness, including current maturities of debt. We may also obtain additional short-term and long-term debt to meet future capital needs, subject to certain restrictions under our existing indebtedness, which would increase our total debt. Our substantial amount of debt could have negative consequences to our business. For example, it could:

30

In addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future will depend in part on the satisfaction of the covenants in our debt agreements. If we are unable to satisfy the financial covenants contained in those agreements or are unable to generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, the lenders and other parties to those arrangements could accelerate the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness.

We may not have sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs.

For the year ended and as of December 31, 2022, we had a net loss of $6.9 million. At December 31, 2022, we had $0.8 million in cash, including a Medicaid overpayment of $0.2 million received in the third and fourth quarter of 2021, which was repaid in February 2023 and is recorded in “Accrued Expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company has approximately $3.1 million of restricted cash and $52.2 million in indebtedness net of $1.1 million deferred financing and unamortized discounts, of which the Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $1.8 million during the next twelve-month period. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2017 dividend period, the Company has $45.9 million of accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends.

Management anticipates access to, and receipt of, several sources of liquidity, including cash from operations and cash on hand. We have routine ongoing discussions with existing and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer-term basis and, in recent periods, have refinanced short-term acquisition-related debt with traditional long-term mortgage notes, some of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs.

In order to satisfy the Company’s capital needs, the Company is undertaking measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity by: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.

The Company anticipates that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity to maintain its liquidity, thereby permitting the Company to better meet its operating and financing obligations. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful.

We rely on external sources of capital to fund our capital needs, and if we encounter difficulty in obtaining such capital, we may not be able to make future investments necessary to grow our business or meet maturing debt commitments.

We rely on external sources of capital, including, from time to time, private or public offerings of debt or equity, the assumption of secured indebtedness, or mortgage financing on a portion of our owned portfolio. If we are unable to obtain needed capital at all or only on unfavorable terms from these sources, then we might not be able to make the investments needed to grow our business or to meet our obligations and commitments as they mature. Our access to capital depends upon a number of factors over which we have little or no control, including: (i) the performance of the national and global economies generally; (ii) competition in the healthcare industry; (iii) issues facing the healthcare industry, including regulations and government reimbursement policies; (iv) our tenants’ operating costs; (v) the market’s perception of our growth potential; (vi) the market value of our properties; (vii) our current and potential future earnings and cash dividends on our common stock and preferred stock, if any; and (viii) the market price of the shares of our capital stock. We may not be in a position to take advantage of future investment opportunities if we are unable to access capital markets on a timely basis or are only able to obtain financing on unfavorable terms.

In particular, we are subject to risks associated with debt financing, which could negatively impact our business and limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders and to repay maturing indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance

31

or extend principal payments due at maturity or pay them with proceeds from other capital transactions, our cash flow may not be sufficient to repay our maturing indebtedness. Furthermore, if we have to pay higher interest rates in connection with a refinancing, the interest expenses relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase, which could reduce our profitability. Moreover, additional debt financing increases our leverage. The degree of leverage could have important consequences to our shareholders, including affecting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future, and making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our results of operations or the economy in general.

Our ability to raise capital through equity sales is dependent, in part, on the market price of our capital stock and the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, including the amount of the undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

As with other publicly-traded companies, the availability of equity capital depends, in part, on the market price of our capital stock, which, in turn, will depend upon various market conditions and other factors that may change from time to time, and could negatively impact the market price of our stock, including:

Further, our ability to raise capital through equity sales has been adversely affected by the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock and the amount of the undeclared preferred stock dividend in arrears with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, which was $45.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

Covenants in the agreements evidencing our indebtedness limit our operational flexibility, and a covenant breach could materially adversely affect our operations.

The terms of our credit agreements and other agreements evidencing our indebtedness require us to comply with a number of financial and other covenants which may limit management’s discretion by restricting our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, and create liens. Any additional financing we may obtain could contain similar or more restrictive covenants. Our continued ability to incur indebtedness and conduct our operations is subject to compliance with these financial and other covenants. Breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness in addition to any other indebtedness cross-defaulted against such instruments. Any such breach could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our assets may be subject to impairment charges.

We periodically, but not less than annually, evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as market conditions, operator performance and legal structure. If we determine that a significant impairment has occurred, then we are required to make an adjustment to the net carrying value of the asset, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the write-off occurs.

Economic conditions and turbulence in the credit markets may create challenges in securing indebtedness or refinancing our existing indebtedness.

Depressed economic conditions, the availability and cost of credit, turmoil in the mortgage market and depressed real estate markets have in the past contributed, and will in the future contribute, to increased volatility and diminished expectations for real estate markets and the economy as a whole. Significant market disruption and volatility could impact our ability to secure indebtedness or refinance our existing indebtedness.

Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities and Organizational Documents

The price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock has fluctuated, and a number of factors may cause the price of our common stock or Series A Preferred Stock to decline.

The market price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock has fluctuated and may fluctuate significantly in the future, depending upon many factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

In addition, to the above factors, the market price of the Series A Preferred Stock may also fluctuate based upon additional factors including:

Furthermore, the stock market in recent years has experienced sweeping price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. These market fluctuations may also cause the price of our stock to decline.

In the event of fluctuations in the price of our stock, shareholders may be unable to resell shares of our stock at or above the price at which they purchased such shares. Additionally, due to fluctuations in the price of our stock, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on past results as an indication of future performance.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. This means that, unless accumulated accrued dividends have been paid or set aside for payment on all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods, no dividends may be declared or paid, or set aside for payment on, our common stock. Likewise, in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, no distribution of our assets may be made to holders of our common stock until we have paid to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock the applicable liquidation preference plus all accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends.

33

We suspended the quarterly dividend payment with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter of 2017, and in June 2018, we determined to continue such suspension indefinitely. As a result of such suspension, the Company has $45.9 million of undeclared preferred stock dividends in arrears as of December 31, 2022. See Part II, Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Annual Report. As a result, the value of your investment in our common stock may suffer if sufficient funds are not available to first satisfy our obligations to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock in the event of our liquidation.

There are no assurances of our ability to pay dividends in the future.

We are a holding company, and we have no significant operations. We rely primarily on dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to us so we may, among other things, pay dividends on our capital stock, if and to the extent declared by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions to us depends on their earnings and may be restricted in the future by the terms of certain agreements governing their indebtedness. If our subsidiaries are in default under such agreements, then they may not pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

In addition, we may only pay dividends on our capital stock if we have funds legally available to pay dividends and such payment is not restricted or prohibited by law, the terms of any shares with higher priority with respect to dividends or any documents governing our indebtedness. We are restricted by Georgia law from paying dividends on our capital stock if we are not able to pay our debts as they become due in the normal course of business or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy preferential rights upon dissolution. In addition, no dividends may be declared or paid on our common stock unless all accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payments, for all past dividend periods. In addition, future debt, contractual covenants or arrangements that we or our subsidiaries enter into may restrict or prevent future dividend payments.

As such, we are currently unable, on a temporary or permanent basis, to pay dividends on our stock, including our common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock. The payment of any future dividends on our stock will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend, among other things, on the earnings and results of operations of our subsidiaries, their ability to pay dividends and make other distributions to us under agreements governing their indebtedness, our financial condition and capital requirements, any debt service requirements and any other factors the Board deems relevant.

The Board suspended dividend payments indefinitely with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. Such dividends are currently in arrears since the fourth quarter 2017. See Part II, Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Annual Report. As a result of this dividend suspension, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock until all accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods.

The ownership and transfer restrictions contained in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended and currently in effect (the "Charter"), may prevent or restrict you from acquiring or transferring shares of the common stock.

As a result of the Merger, the Charter contains provisions restricting the ownership and transfer of the common stock. These ownership and transfer restrictions include that, subject to the exceptions, waivers and the constructive ownership rules described in the Charter, no person (including any “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") may beneficially own, or be deemed to constructively own by virtue of the ownership attribution provisions of the Code, in excess of 9.9% (by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding common stock. The Charter also prohibits, among other things, any person from beneficially or constructively owning shares of common stock to the extent that such ownership would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT by reason of being “closely held” under the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or that would cause the Company to otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT. Furthermore, any transfer, acquisition or other event or transaction

34

that would result in common stock being beneficially owned by less than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) will be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such common stock. These ownership and transfer restrictions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control involving the Company that might involve a premium price for our capital stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Provisions in Georgia law, our Charter and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the Bylaws") may delay or prevent a change in control or management that shareholders may consider desirable.

Various provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “GBCC”) and the Charter and Bylaws may inhibit changes in control not approved by the Board and may have the effect of depriving our investors of an opportunity to receive a premium over the prevailing market price of the common stock and other securities in the event of an attempted hostile takeover. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and other securities. These provisions include:

In addition, the Company has elected in the Bylaws to be subject to the “fair price” and “business combination” provisions of the GBCC. The business combination provisions generally restrict us from engaging in certain business combination transactions with any “interested shareholder” (as defined in the GBCC) for a period of five years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless certain designated conditions are met. The fair price provisions generally restricts us from entering into certain business combinations with an interested shareholder unless the transaction is unanimously approved by the continuing directors who must constitute at least three members of the Board at the time of such approval, or the transaction is recommended by at least two-thirds of the continuing directors and approved by a majority of the shareholders excluding the interested shareholder.

The Board can use these and other provisions to prevent, delay or discourage a change in control of the Company or a change in our management. Any such delay or prevention of a change in control or management could deter potential acquirers or prevent the completion of a takeover transaction pursuant to which our shareholders could receive a substantial premium over the current market price of the common stock and other securities, which in turn may limit the price investors might be willing to pay for such securities.

If we fail to meet all applicable continued listing requirements of the NYSE American and the NYSE American determines to delist the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, then the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of such securities, impair the value of your investment, adversely affect our ability to raise needed funds and subject us to additional trading restrictions and regulations.

If the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are delisted from the NYSE American, such securities may trade in the over-the-counter market. If our securities were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought

35

and sold, transactions could be delayed, and any security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are delisted, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in such securities, further limiting the liquidity of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our securities. Such delisting from the NYSE American and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions. Any such limitations on our ability to raise debt and equity capital could prevent us from making future investments and satisfying maturing debt commitments.

In addition, if the Company fails for 180 or more consecutive days to maintain a listing of the Series A Preferred Stock on a national exchange, then: (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased from 10.875% per annum to 12.875% per annum on the 181st day; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Board in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, the Charter. Such increased dividend rate and voting rights will continue for so long as the Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on a national exchange. Additionally as the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four consecutive dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend period to has increased to 12.875%; commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash. See Note 10- Common and Preferred Stock to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

General Risk Factors

The costs of being publicly owned may strain our resources and impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial reporting. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources and have required us, and may in the future require us, to hire additional accounting and financial resources with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. In addition, failure to maintain such internal controls could result in us being unable to provide timely and reliable financial information which could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities or cause us to be late in the filing of required reports or financial results. Any of the foregoing events could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we lose our key management personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are dependent on our management team, and our future success depends largely upon the management experience, skill, and contacts of our management and the loss of any of our key management team could harm our business. If we lose the services of any or all of our management team, we may not be able to replace them with similarly qualified personnel, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our directors and officers substantially control all major decisions.

36

Our directors and officers beneficially own a significant number of shares of our outstanding common stock. Therefore, our directors and officers will be able to influence major corporate actions required to be voted on by shareholders, such as the election of directors, the amendment of our charter documents and the approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers, reorganizations, sales of substantially all of our assets and liquidation. Furthermore, our directors will be able to make decisions affecting our capital structure, including decisions to issue additional capital stock, implement stock repurchase programs and incur indebtedness. This control may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

39

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated SNFs resulted in injury or death to patients. Although the Company settles cases from time to time when settlement can be achieved on a reasonable basis, the Company vigorously defends any matter in which it believes the claims lack merit and the Company has a reasonable chance to prevail at trial or in arbitration. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. There is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Although arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business, certain of these matters are described in “Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies – Professional and General Liability Claims” to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 ., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in this Annual Report.

The Company believes that most of the professional and general liability actions are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment unless settlement is more advantageous to the Company. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry- If we are unable to resolve our professional and general liability actions on terms acceptable to us, then it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in Part I, Item 1.A, “Risk Factors.” in this Annual Report.

Certain other legal matters are described in “Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies – Other Legal Matters" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in this Annual Report. “Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies – Professional and General Liability Claims” and “Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies- Other Legal Matters”, each included in Part II, Item 8., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in this Annual Report. are each incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity

The common stock is listed for trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “RHE.” Based on information supplied from our transfer agent, there were approximately 5,766 shareholders of record of the common stock as of March 3, 2023.

We are a holding company and we have no significant operations. We rely primarily on dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to us so we may, among other things, pay dividends on the common stock, and the Series A Preferred Stock, if and to the extent declared by the Board. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions to us depends on their earnings and may be restricted by the terms of certain agreements governing their indebtedness. If our subsidiaries are in default under such agreements, then they may not pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

In addition, we may only pay dividends on the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock if we have funds legally available to pay dividends and such payment is not restricted or prohibited by law, the terms of any shares with higher priority with respect to dividends or any documents governing our indebtedness. We are restricted by Georgia law from paying dividends on the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock if we are not able to pay our debts as they become due in the normal course of business or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy preferential rights of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the dividend. In addition, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payments, for all past dividend periods. In addition, future debt, contractual covenants or arrangements we or our subsidiaries enter into may restrict or prevent future dividend payments.

The Board suspended dividend payments with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter of 2017, and determined to continue such suspension indefinitely in June 2018. Accordingly, the Company has not paid dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock since the third quarter of 2017. See Part II, Item 7., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this Annual Report. As a result of this dividend suspension, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock until all accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods. Additionally, as the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four consecutive dividend periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%; commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash. See Note 10- Common and Preferred Stock to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were no open-market repurchases of the common stock or the Series A Preferred Stock.

For further information, see Note 10 - Common and Preferred Stock to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We plan to grow our Real Estate segment while diversifying our portfolio by tenant and facility type within the healthcare sector. We plan to achieve these objectives primarily through making investments directly or indirectly in healthcare real estate, including investments in joint ventures with larger health care investors.

Industry Trends and Uncertainties

Our operations have been and are expected to continue to be impacted by economic and market conditions. Together with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, increases in interest rates, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, high inflation and increased volatility in public equity and fixed income markets have led to increased costs and limited the availability of capital. In 2022, several of our operators notified us that they could not continue to maintain the lease payment given the state of the facilities operations. In addition, one operator was notified by the State of Alabama to transition the facility to a new operators or the state was going to shut down the facility.

COVID-19 Pandemic. Many of our operators have reported incurring significant cost increases as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe these increases primarily stem from elevated labor costs, including increased use of overtime and bonus pay, as well as a significant increase in both the cost and usage of personal protective equipment, testing equipment, processes and supplies. In terms of occupancy levels, many of our operators have reported experiencing declines, in part due to the elimination or suspension of elective hospital procedures, fewer discharges from hospitals to SNFs, and higher hospital readmittances from SNFs. The COVID-19 pandemic may also lead to temporary closures of nursing facilities operated by our tenants, impairing our tenants’ ability to make their rental payments to us pursuant to their respective lease agreements.

Portfolio Stabilization Measures. In the past our operators did not provide lease guarantees from affiliated entities. Given this, certain operators have terminated their leases in light of operational difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests in real estate, when business conditions require, the Company undertakes portfolio stabilization measures. The table below summarizes the lease terminations since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s resulting portfolio stabilization measures:

For more information, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 6 – Leases and Note 9 – Segment Results. to our audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

On December 30, 2022, the Company and Spring Valley, LLC (“Landlord”) entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (the “Lease Termination Agreement”) relating to the lease (the “Lease”) of the following eight nursing facilities: the Powder Springs facility, the Thomasville facility, the Jeffersonville facility, the Lumber City facility, the LaGrange facility, the Tara facility, the Oceanside facility and the Savannah Beach facility (collectively, the “Facilities”). The Lease Termination Agreement provides that the Lease was terminated effective as of December 7, 2022 (the “Lease Termination Date”). In connection with the foregoing, Tenant entered into certain Operations Transfer Agreements (the “Operations Transfer Agreements”) with each of TV Thomasville LLC, LC Lumber City LLC, LG Lagrange LLC and TB Thunderbolt LLC (the “New Operators”), each with an effective date as of the Lease Termination Date. The Operations Transfer Agreements contain market industry terms.

As consideration for Landlord’s agreement to enter into the Lease Termination Agreement and accelerate the expiration date of the term of the Lease, Tenant and its affiliates, including the Company, agreed to cooperate with Landlord and any third parties, including the New Operators, to continue the operation of and transfer the ownership of the Facilities with an effective date as of the Lease Termination Date.

In connection with a master sublease agreement as amended on March 30, 2018, originally dated June 18, 2016, that the Company entered into with affiliates of Peach Health, the Company extended a line of credit to Peach Health (the “Peach Line”), which was subordinated to a line of credit extended to Peach Health by a third-party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”). On August 27, 2020, subsequent to Peach Health repaying their Peach Working Capital Facility, the Company and Peach Health modified the Peach Line to: (i) reduce the then-outstanding $1.3 million balance under the Peach Line to approximately $0.5 million, in connection with which Peach Health paid to the Company $0.45 million in cash and the Company accepted $0.35 million non-cash payment in exchange for Peach Health assuming from the Company certain bed tax liabilities related to facilities their affiliates operate; (ii) extend the maturity date of the Peach Line to August 1, 2025; (iii) decrease the interest rate from 16.5% to 8% per annum; and (iv) Peach Health agreed not to pledge, hypothecate or grant any security interest in their collateral to any other party, other than their current arrangement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”), without the Company’s prior written consent.

Results of Operations

Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, statement of operations items and the amount and percentage of change of these items. The results of operations for any particular period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. The following data should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

*Not meaningful (“NM”).

Year Ended December 31, 2022, Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021:

Patient care revenues— Patient care revenues for our Healthcare Services segment, as a result of the Company taking over operations at the LaGrange and Lumber City locations in May of 2022, the Thomasville location in July of 2022,

44

and the Glenvue location in August of 2022, increased to $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from approximately $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Rental revenues.— Total rental revenue decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or 20.5%, to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease reflects approximately $3.1 million decrease in straight-line rent due to the C.R Management and Beacon Health Management Lease Terminations recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information see Note 6 - Leases, to our audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this Annual Report.

Other revenues—Other revenues decreased by approximately $0.07 million, or 71.5%, to $0.03 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with approximately $0.09 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Patient care expense—Patient care expense was $20.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, up from $9.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The current period expense, which required an increased level of staffing, is due to the additional facilities we operated when compared to the prior year.

Facility rent expense—Facility rent decreased by approximately $1.6 million, or 24.6%, to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with approximately $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is due primarily to an amendment to the Foster Lease as well as forgiveness for unpaid rent. See Note 6 - Leases, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

Depreciation and amortization—Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 7.2%, to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the reduction in depreciation from fully depreciated equipment and computer related assets in the current year.

General and administrative— General and administrative costs increased by $0.7 million, or 18.3%, to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase within Healthcare Services is driven predominantly by the additional facilities which we're currently operating. For the Real Estate Services segment, the expenses were roughly flat year over year.

45

Provision (recovery) for doubtful accounts—Provision for doubtful accounts expense increased by approximately $4.7 million, to approximately $4.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase in expense is due to a $4.2 million provision for doubtful accounts recorded for non-payment of rent and from reductions taken to gain cooperation in transitioning facilities to a new operator as well as the impairment of straight-line rent associated with the lease terminations of Lumber City, LaGrange, Thomasville, Glenvue, Sumter, Southland and Georgetown within our Real Estate Services segment.

Loss on extinguishment of debt— Loss on extinguishment of debt is due to the refinancing of three facilities with HUD, see Note 2 - Liquidity to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” in this Annual Report.

Loss on Disposal of Assets- The loss on the disposal of assets for the year ended December, 31, 2022 is comprised of $1.4 million of leasehold improvements made at the eight leased facilities.

Other operating expenses — Other operating expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million or 84%, to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to professional and legal services related to operator transition transactions and additional expenses incurred in the current year from our expanded Healthcare Services segment.

Interest expense, net—Interest expense, net decreased by approximately $0.1 million or 5.2%, to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease reflects the lower amount of debt outstanding. See Note 8 – Notes Payable and Other Debt to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” of this Annual Report

Loss on Lease Termination- The loss on lease termination for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 is comprised of the write-off of straight line rent and a right of use asset.

Other expense, net— Other expense, net decreased by approximately $4.1 million, generating income of $2.9 million, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared with an expense of $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. These expenses in both years are related to professional and legal services to evaluate and assist with possible opportunities to improve the Company’s capital structure. The expenses were offset by a $2.4 million gain related to the write-down of certain accounts payable balances for unclaimed property.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company intends to pursue measures to grow its operations, streamline its cost infrastructure and otherwise increase liquidity, including: (i) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments, with such repayment to be funded through potentially expanding borrowing arrangements with certain lenders; (ii) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (iii) modifying

46

the terms of existing leases; (iv) replacing certain tenants who default on their lease payment terms; and (v) reducing other and general and administrative expenses.

Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash on hand, collection of patient accounts receivable, and debt refinancing during the twelve months from the date of this filing. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $0.8 million in unrestricted cash, including a Medicaid overpayment of $0.2 million, which was included in “Accrued Expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and repaid by the time of this filing. In addition, as of December 31, 2022 the Company had $7.6 million of accounts receivable, mainly consisting of patient account receivables, which the Company plans to collect over the next twelve months.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company generated negative cash flow from continuing operations of $3.5 million, mostly due to the increase in patient accounts receivable. The Company anticipates positive cash flow from operations in the future as the patient accounts receivable is collected, subject to the continued uncertainty in the industry, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Subsequent to year end, the Company collected $1.9 million from the Employee Retention Tax Credit and continues to focus on collecting the patient receivables generated from operating five skilled nursing facilities in Georgia in 2022.

The Company is current with all of its debt and other financial obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company benefited from various, stimulus measures not made available during the year ended December 31, 2021, made available to it through the CARES Act enacted by Congress in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which allowed for, among other things: (i) a deferral of debt service payments on U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) loans to maturity, (ii) an allowance for debt service payments to be made out of replacement reserve accounts for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) loans and (iii) debt service payments to be made by the SBA on all SBA loans. For further information see Note 8 – Notes Payable and Other Debt to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

In early 2020, the Company began on-going efforts to investigate alternatives to retire or refinance our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock through privately negotiated transactions, open market repurchases, redemptions, exchange offers, tender offers, or otherwise. Our ability to retire or refinance our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. There can be no assurance that any such alternative will be pursued or accomplished, and we may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in any of these activities on desirable terms. Costs associated with these efforts have been expensed as incurred in “Other expense, net” and were $1.3 million and approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Series A Preferred Dividend Suspension

We suspended the quarterly dividend payment with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter of 2017, and on June 8, 2018, the Board suspended quarterly dividend payments indefinitely with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2022, as a result of the suspension of the dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock commencing with the fourth quarter 2017 dividend period, the Company has approximately $45.9 million of undeclared Series A Preferred Stock dividends in arrears. The dividend suspension has provided the Company with additional funds to meet its ongoing liquidity needs. As the Company has failed to pay cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock in full for more than four dividends periods, the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock for the fifth and future missed dividend periods has increased to 12.875%, which is equivalent to approximately $3.20 per share each year, commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment (October 1, 2018) and continuing until the second consecutive dividend payment

47

date following such time as the Company has paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in full in cash.

Debt

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $52.2 million in indebtedness, net of $1.1 million deferred financing and unamortized discounts. The Company anticipates net principal repayments of approximately $1.8 million during the next twelve-month period, which include approximately $1.3 million of routine debt service amortization, approximately $0.4 million payments on other non-routine debt and a $0.1 million payment of bond debt.

Debt Refinance. On October 21, 2022, the Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, consummated a HUD refinancing of its senior mortgages on three SNFs in Ohio. Funding was provided by Newpoint Real Estate Capital LLC ("Newpoint") pursuant to three HUD guaranteed secured Healthcare Facility Notes (the "HUD Notes"). Proceeds from the HUD Notes were used to pay off existing HUD guaranteed secured mortgages and pay transaction costs. Newpoint is the servicer on other loans extended to the Company.
 

The aggregate principal amount of the three HUD Notes is $7.8 million, and the interest rate on the three HUD Notes is 3.97% fixed for the full term of each HUD Note. The Northwood HUD Note has a principal amount of $5.0 million and matures on November 1, 2052. The Greenfield HUD Note has a principal amount of $2.0 million and matures on November 1, 2052. The Pavilion HUD Note has a principal amount of $0.8 million and matures on December 1, 2039. Payments of principal and interest on the HUD Notes commenced on October 1, 2022. Each HUD Note is secured by a Healthcare Deed to Secure Debt, Security Agreement and Assignment of Rents covering the facilities. Newpoint may declare the loans, accrued interest and any other amounts immediately due and payable upon certain customary events of default.

On September 30, 2021, the Company and the Exchange Bank of Alabama executed a $5.1 million Promissory Note with a 3.95% annual fixed interest rate and maturity date of October 10, 2026 (the “Coosa Credit Facility”). The Coosa Credit Facility refinanced $5.1 million prime + 1.5% variable interest rate debt owed to Metro City Bank with a maturity date of January 31, 2036, (the “Coosa MCB Loan”). The Coosa Credit Facility is secured by the assets of the Company’s subsidiary Coosa Nursing ADK, LLC (“Coosa”) which owns the 124-bed SNF located in Glencoe, Alabama (the “Coosa Facility”) and the assets of the Company’s subsidiary Meadowood Property Holdings, LLC (“Meadowood”) which owns the 161-bed assisted living facility located in Glencoe, Alabama (the “Meadowood Facility”). The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in new deferred financing fees and expensed approximately $0.1 million deferred financing fees associated with the Coosa MCB Loan.

Consequently, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $0.1 million on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021, consisting of the $0.2 million gain on forgiveness of the PPP Loan partially offset by $0.1 million of expensed deferred financing fees associated with the extinguishment of the Coosa MCB Loan.

Debt Modification. In conjunction with the September 30, 2021, Coosa Facility refinance, the Company and the Exchange Bank of Alabama signed an agreement on October 1, 2021, (the “Meadowood Credit Facility”), that extended the maturity date on the $3.5 million Meadowood Credit Facility, as amended, in senior debt other mortgage indebtedness secured by the assets of Coosa and the assets of Meadowood, from May 1, 2022, to October 1, 2026. Additionally on December 30, 2022, the Company extended the maturity date on approximately $0.5 million other debt from August 25, 2023, to August 25, 2025 (known as the “KeyBank Exit Notes”).

In February 2022, the Company commenced an offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for newly issued shares of the Company's 12.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. On July 25, 2022, the Company terminated such exchange offer, as a result of the failure to obtain the requisite approval from the holders of common stock.

Changes in Operational Liquidity

Beginning in 2021, several of the Company’s operators have defaulted on their contractual obligations and elected to transition the facilities back to the Company. Given the complexities in identifying and negotiating with new operators, the Company was forced to become the licensed operator of the facilities, most importantly the eight leased facilities under the “Foster Lease”. Operating the facilities requires substantial working capital until the facilities can begin receiving the government reimbursements.

Powder Springs Lease. In December 2020, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with two affiliates of Wellington. Following the Wellington Lease Termination, effective January 1, 2021, Regional leased the Powder Springs Facility to PS Operator LLC (“PS Operator”), an affiliate of Empire Care Center, pursuant to a sublease (the “PS Sublease”). The PS sublease contained a variable lease component. For more information, see Note 6- Leases to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized and collected $1.4 million of variable rent for the Powder Springs Facility replacing approximately $2.0 million of cash rent previously anticipated from the Wellington Tenant. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized and collected $.9 million in rent.

Healthcare Services segment. As part of the Portfolio Stabilization initiative, the company took back five facilities in 2022. In addition to becoming the licensed operator, the Company is obligated to fund the working capital needs of each facility until patient reimbursement collections begin. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Healthcare Services lost $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. In addition, the Account Receivable for the segment increased from $0.9 million in 2021 to $6.5 million in 2022. As described in more detail as referenced in Note 6 - Leases, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8., “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report, the Company terminated the master lease. As of December 31 2022, the company operated 2 facilities.
