(ii)   Prior to maturity or earlier redemption or repurchase, during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “note measurement period”) in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes was equal to or less than 97% of the average conversion value of the notes during the note measurement period

(iii)   Prior to maturity, if HCN calls the notes for redemption

(iv)   Prior to maturity, upon occurrence of certain corporate transactions

(v)   The notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from, and including, November 1, 2014 to, and including, December 1, 2014 and at any time from, and including, November 1, 2029 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2029 or earlier redemption or repurchase.
 
   
Payment upon Conversion:
  Upon conversion, holders will receive, per $1,000 principal amount being converted, a “settlement amount” that is equal to the sum of the “daily settlement amounts” for each of the 20 trading days during the “cash settlement averaging period”. The “cash settlement averaging period” with respect to any note means (i) for any note converted at any time on or after the 23rd scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including the 20th scheduled trading day prior to maturity and (ii) in all other instances, the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the third trading day following the conversion date.

The “daily settlement amount” for each of the 20 trading days during the cash settlement averaging period consists of (a) cash equal to the lesser of $50 and the “daily conversion value”; and (b) to the extent the daily conversion value exceeds $50, a number of shares equal to the excess of the daily conversion value over $50 divided by the volume-weighted average price (as defined) (“vwap”) per share of HCN common stock on that trading day.

The “daily conversion value” on a given trading day means 1/20 of the product of the applicable conversion rate and the vwap per share of HCN common stock on that trading day.

 


 

     
Dividend Protection and Anti-Dilution Adjustments:   Dividend protection—Adjustment upon quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.68 per share to holders of HCN common stock. Anti-dilution protection also covers stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications of common stock, distributions of certain rights and warrants, and certain tender and exchange offers, all as described in the preliminary prospectus supplement.
 
   
Conversion Rate Adjustment upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change:   If a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement) occurs prior to December 1, 2014 and a holder elects to convert its notes in connection with such a make-whole fundamental change, Health Care REIT will increase the applicable conversion rate for the notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of HCN common stock. If the transaction provides the holders of HCN common stock with the right to receive more than a single type of consideration determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, the holders of the notes, treated as a single class, will be given a reasonable opportunity to elect the form of such consideration.

  If the Applicable Price is between two Applicable Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the two Applicable Prices, or for the two Effective Dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable. In addition, if the actual Applicable Price is greater than $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment), the conversion rate will not be increased in connection with that make-whole fundamental change. If the actual Applicable Price is less than $43.63 per share (subject to adjustment), the conversion rate will not be increased in connection with that make-whole fundamental change. HCN will not increase the conversion rate pursuant to the Make-Whole Table set forth above to the extent that the increase will cause the conversion rate to exceed 22.9200 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. HCN will adjust this maximum conversion rate in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, HCN adjusts the conversion rate.
 
   
Put upon a Fundamental Change:
  If a fundamental change (as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement) occurs, each holder will have the right, at its option, to require HCN to repurchase for cash all or any portion of the holder’s notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
 
   
Use of Proceeds:
  Net proceeds to HCN from this offering are expected to be approximately $150,371,783 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. HCN intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase $85,019,000 principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2026 and $54,189,000 principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2027.
 
   
Underwriting Discounts and Commissions:
  1.75% per convertible note
 
   
Offering Expenses:
  HCN estimates that its share of total expenses of the offering will be approximately $500,000. The underwriters have agreed to reimburse HCN for certain of HCN’s expenses in connection with the offering of the notes.
 
   
Capitalization
  The following table sets forth HCN’s capitalization as of March 31, 2010, on a historical basis, on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the issuance of $450,000,000 of 6.125% notes due 2020 in April and June 2010, and on an as further adjusted basis to give effect to (a) the sale of the notes offered by the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 15, 2010 (but not giving effect to the conversion of the notes), (b) the repurchase of $85,019,000 aggregate principal amount of HCN’s 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and (c) the repurchase of $54,189,000 aggregate principal amount of HCN’s 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027.

(1)   $266 million was outstanding under HCN’s unsecured line of credit at June 14, 2010.
 
(2)   The amounts shown do not reflect original issue discount pursuant to FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). Under FSP APB 14-1, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments (such as the notes) that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost. The effect of FSP APB 14-1 on the accounting for the convertible senior notes is that the equity component is included in the capital in excess of par value section of stockholders’ equity on HCN’s consolidated balance sheet and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the notes. The original issue discount for the notes is included in “Unamortized premiums/discounts and fair value adjustments.”
