SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 2, 2019

This proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”), dated May 1, 2019, supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) of Welltower Inc. (“Welltower” or the “Company”) dated March 22, 2019 and made available to shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 2, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”). Except as specifically supplemented by the information contained in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares.

THE PROXY STATEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND THIS

SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Resignation of Director

Mr. Timothy J. Naughton informed the Board that he will not stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Nauhgton has resigned from his role as a director of the Company effective as of May 2, 2019, immediately prior to the Annual Meeting that will be held on the same day. Accordingly, the proposal which constitutes Item 1e on the proxy card will no longer be presented for a vote of the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, and the Board will decrease the size of the Board to ten immediately prior to the Annual Meeting. The proxy card or voting instruction form distributed with the Proxy Statement remains valid and shareholders who have already returned their proxy card or provided voting instructions do not need to take any action unless they wish to change or revoke their other voting instructions.

Other than as specified above, no items presented in the Proxy Statement are affected by this Supplement, and you should carefully review the Proxy Statement prior to voting your shares.
