Mark Decker, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and President stated, "Chiron is repositioning as a growth-oriented investor. Central to this transition is a disciplined capital allocation strategy aimed at recycling capital into investments with higher returns on invested capital. Our inaugural SHOP investments are a tremendous first step on this journey. We view today's announcement of a $100 million growth equity investment led by Maewyn Capital Partners as an endorsement of this strategy and our underlying portfolio value. While working on these transformative transactions, the Company continued to produce stable results including same property NOI growth of 3.2%. I want to commend our team for their hard work."

In conjunction with this release, the Company has posted an updated Investor Presentation to the Investor Relations section of its website. This presentation provides additional details on Chiron's transition to a growth-oriented healthcare REIT and enhanced capital allocation strategy.

2026 Guidance and Common Dividends

2026 Guidance

As we move into an active phase of asset sales, acquisitions, and capital redeployment, we believe short-term earnings guidance becomes an increasingly poor proxy for underlying value creation. Rather than anchor investors to short-term volatility, management has elected to withdraw 2026 guidance and focus squarely on executing the portfolio transition and building long-term per-share value and earnings power. Please refer to our investor presentation to see information regarding key metrics for 2026 as well as our longer-term strategic priorities.

Common Dividend Modification

The Company is evolving from a yield-focused REIT into an active growth platform. Given the transformation we are resizing our dividend to focus on retaining cash flow and to accelerate the Company's acquisition strategy and accelerate the ramp of its SHOP portfolio.

On May 5, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a monthly common stock cash dividend of $0.16 per share for each of July, August and September of 2026, representing quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.48 per share. Details of the dividend are contained in the table below:

This compares to $0.25 per share for April, May and June 2026, and represents an approximate 36% reduction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

General

Management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. For the Company, non-GAAP measures consist of Funds From Operations attributable to common stockholders and noncontrolling interest ("FFO"), Core FFO (formerly Adjusted Funds From Operations), Funds Available For Distribution attributable to common stockholders and noncontrolling interest ("FAD"), Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre" and "Adjusted EBITDAre"), Net Operating Income ("NOI"), Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures because these measures are observed by management to also be among the most predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management deems it appropriate to disclose and discuss these non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical consolidated operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income and cash flows from operations as presented elsewhere herein.

FFO and Core FFO

FFO and Core FFO are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company considers FFO and Core FFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT") definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP units and LTIP units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, property impairment losses, less preferred stock dividends, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of above and below market leases), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Because FFO excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of debt issuance costs and above and below market lease amortization expense), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.

Core FFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company's operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates Core FFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company these items include: (a) recurring acquisition and disposition costs, (b) loss on the extinguishment of debt, (c) recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, (d) recurring stock-based compensation expense, (e) recurring amortization of above and below market leases, (f) recurring amortization of debt issuance costs, (g) severance and transition related expense, (h) reverse stock split expense and (i) other items related to unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management believes that reporting Core FFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis.

FAD

We calculate FAD by subtracting from Core FFO capital expenditures, including tenant improvements, and leasing commissions. Management believes FAD is useful in analyzing the portion of cash flow that is available for distribution to stockholders and unitholders. Investors, analysts and the Company utilize FAD as an indicator of common dividend potential. The FAD payout ratio, which represents annual distributions to common stockholders and unitholders expressed as a percentage of FAD, facilitates the comparison of dividend coverage between REITs.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We calculate EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by NAREIT and define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, property impairment losses, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis, as applicable.

We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre plus loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash intangible amortization related to above and below market leases, severance and transition related expense, reverse stock split expense, transaction expense, adjustments related to our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and other normalizing items. Management considers EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.

NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI

We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total net (loss) income, plus depreciation and amortization expenses, general and administrative expenses, transaction expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items. Cash NOI and Same-Property Cash NOI are key performance indicators. Management considers these to be supplemental measures that allow investors, analysts and Company management to measure unlevered property-level cash operating results. The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI excluding non-cash items such as above and below market lease intangibles and straight-line rent. Cash NOI is historical and not necessarily indicative of future results.

Same-Property Cash NOI compares Cash NOI for stabilized properties. Stabilized properties are properties that have been included in operations for the duration of the year-over-year comparison period presented. Accordingly, stabilized properties exclude properties that were recently acquired or disposed of, properties classified as held for sale, properties undergoing redevelopment, and newly redeveloped or developed properties. Same-Property Cash NOI also excludes lease terminations fees and joint venture and other income in order to remove non-recurring items and joint venture-related income from our NOI.
