Ventas Files Investor Presentation Highlighting Execution of Winning Strategy to Drive Continued Long-Term Value for All Shareholders

Board has Overseen Exceptional 20+ Year Returns, Successful Portfolio Transformation, Disciplined Capital Allocation, Ongoing Refreshment Program and Strong Recent Results

Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR ALL” of Ventas’s Highly Qualified Directors on the WHITE Proxy Card

Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) today announced that it has filed an investor presentation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled to be held virtually on April 27, 2022. The presentation is available at https://ir.ventasreit.com.

Highlights of the presentation include:

  • Ventas has delivered superior long-term TSR outperformance and is executing on a winning strategy with a diversified, high-quality portfolio
    • Ventas has delivered TSR of 23% YTD through March 25, 2022, building on the Company’s exceptional long-term annualized TSR of over 20% since December 31, 1999.
    • The Company has a track record of making disciplined, forward-thinking capital allocation decisions that have resulted in a competitively advantaged portfolio, and the Company is actively managing its portfolio to be in the most attractive areas of healthcare real estate.
    • Ventas took a number of operational actions during the COVID-19 pandemic to position itself to capitalize on the ongoing senior housing recovery, which is reinforced by powerful demographic demand.
  • Ventas’s Board comprises highly accomplished directors who are uniquely qualified to oversee continued positive momentum
    • The Board is led by highly experienced, independent directors with diverse and relevant skillsets to effectively oversee the ongoing execution of Ventas’s strategic plan, continued growth and capital allocation.
    • Thoughtful and ongoing refreshment has resulted in the appointment four new independent directors over the last three years and three long-tenured director retirements in the last four years, with each addition enhancing the Board’s targeted skillsets; 45% of the Board is diverse and two of three core committees will be chaired by women following the 2022 Annual Meeting.
    • The Board has a strong track record of shareholder engagement and incorporating feedback received from investors, including recent enhancements in the Company’s investor relations and executive compensation programs.
    • Ventas is an industry leader in ESG with best-in-class governance and sustainability programs and target of reaching net zero operational carbon by 2040.
  • Land & Buildings’ campaign is self-serving and not in the best interests of all Ventas shareholders
    • The Board carefully evaluated Land & Buildings’ nominee – its Founder and CIO Jonathan Litt – and determined he is not qualified for Board service; voting for Mr. Litt would risk the loss of important healthcare and operational expertise from the Ventas Board.
    • Land & Buildings is singularly focused on securing Board representation for Mr. Litt, but has offered no substantive ideas for Ventas.

The Ventas Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote the WHITE proxy card “FOR ALL” of Ventas’s highly qualified directors. Ventas shareholders who need assistance in voting their shares may call the Company’s proxy solicitor, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, at (877) 750-9496.
