Item 8.01. Other Events.
The paragraph entitled “Recent Legislation Modifying Several of the Rules Applicable to REITs-Reduction in Built-in Gains Period” of Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of National Health Investors, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2016, is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Reduction in Built-in Gains Period. The PATH Act reduced, for taxable years beginning in 2015 and later, the recognition period or “built-in gains” period (i.e., the period during which gains from the sale or disposition of property acquired by a REIT from a C corporation in a tax-free merger or other carryover basis transaction is subject to C corporation tax) from 10 years to 5 years.
On June 7, 2016, the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department issued temporary regulations that changed the recognition period or “built-in gains” period described in the discussion above. For any property acquired by us with built-in gain (i.e., property acquired by us from a C corporation in a carryover basis transaction that has a fair market value in excess of its adjusted basis at the time of acquisition) prior to August 8, 2016, the recognition period applicable to us with respect to any such property is the five-year period beginning on the day such property was acquired. For any property with built-in gain that is acquired by us on or after August 8, 2016, the recognition period will be the ten-year period beginning on the day the property was acquired.”
