Item 8.01
Other Events.
Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE: HTA) (“HTA”) announced today that its board of directors has increased the quarterly dividend by 1.7% to $0.30 per common share, representing an annualized rate of $1.20 per common share with an annualized yield of 3.5% based on HTA’s closing share price as of July 29, 2016. The dividend will be paid on October 7, 2016 to stockholders of record on October 3, 2016.
The amount of dividends HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by HTA’s board of directors, at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, HTA’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain HTA’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. HTA’s board of directors may reduce its dividend rate and HTA cannot guarantee the amount of dividends paid in the future, if any.
