    Increased G&A costsshort term

    will increase... in the short term

    Mitigation: Expectation that G&A will be in line or better as the business grows and matures through investment portfolio repositioning.

    Market undervaluation of outpatient medical portfolio

    market is not fully recognizing the value embedded within our legacy outpatient medical portfolio

    Mitigation: Leaning into this pricing dislocation by selling assets and reallocating capital into higher-returning assets.

    Time required for portfolio repositioningmore time than immediate

    it's reasonable to assume it will take more time than immediate

    Mitigation: Strategic approach to asset sales, such as retaining equity in the IRF JV to optimize value over a mid-duration lease term (4.5 years).

    Why it matters

    G&A is expected to increase in the short term due to new hires; investors will watch for management's ability to keep it in line as the business grows.

    Looking ahead, while we expect that the changes in senior management will increase our G&A costs in the short term, we believe that as we reposition the investment portfolio, our costs will be in line with the size of our portfolio.

    Q&A highlights

    8

    Clarification on whether the focus is on development/lease-up or stabilized assets for acquisitions, and the specific plans for the recently acquired Reston Land parcel.

    Mark Decker confirmed the company's acquisition focus is on more stabilized assets. For the Reston Land parcel, he stated it's about 1% of assets, shovel-ready, and will be used as 'currency to build rapport with operators' for a potential full continuum community.

    “Definitely more stabilized assets.”

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Strategic Repositioning and Capital Allocation

    Chiron is actively reallocating resources towards opportunities expected to create a more durable and relevant real estate platform with stronger long-term returns, primarily focusing on senior housing. This involves a strategic pivot from outpatient medical assets, with proceeds from dispositions being reinvested into higher-return senior housing acquisitions. The company aims to compound stronger long-term returns through this focused capital allocation strategy.

    02

    Asset Sales and Capital Recycling

    The company completed the sale of 7 inpatient rehab facilities to a newly formed joint venture in June, generating $200 million in gross proceeds at a 7.3% exit cap rate, while retaining a small equity interest. Additionally, Chiron is under contract to sell its Beaumont, Texas Surgical Hospital for $49 million, representing an exit cap rate of 5.9%. These sales are part of an ongoing effort to divest outpatient medical assets and redeploy capital into higher-returning opportunities.

    03

    Senior Housing Acquisitions and Investment Focus

    Chiron closed on the $100 million May win investment, which included the acquisition of two senior communities, The Landing and The Riviera, totaling 292 luxury homes. The company also completed the previously announced acquisition of The Pinnacle, a marquee luxury community that welcomed its first residents in June. The strategic focus for future acquisitions is on more stabilized senior housing assets, with a robust pipeline of opportunities identified.

    04

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position

    The company's balance sheet is well-positioned, with no debt maturities until 2028 and a leverage ratio of just under 40%. Net debt to adjusted EBITDAre improved to 6.0x for the quarter, down from 6.6x in the first quarter. Chiron also has $259 million in unutilized borrowing capacity under its credit facility, providing ample liquidity for its strategic initiatives.

    05

    Enhanced Leadership Team

    Chiron has significantly strengthened its leadership team with several key hires, including Tami Cumings as SVP of Seniors Housing, Aaron Roseth as Chief Operating Officer, Matthew Whitlock as Chief Investment Officer, and Bobby Zeiller as Chief Development Officer and Head of Seniors. These additions bring over 100 years of combined experience in sourcing, developing, operating, and managing senior housing communities, enhancing the company's capabilities for its next phase of growth.

    06

    Outpatient Medical Portfolio Valuation and Strategy

    Management believes the market is currently undervaluing its legacy outpatient medical portfolio, citing robust institutional demand for such assets at favorable cap rates. The company plans to leverage this pricing dislocation by continuing to sell these assets, either individually or through larger portfolio transactions, to reallocate capital into higher-returning senior housing investments and drive long-term shareholder value.

    07

    Reston Land Parcel Acquisition

    Chiron acquired a land parcel in Reston, Virginia, representing approximately 1% of its total assets. This shovel-ready parcel is intended to be used as 'currency to build rapport with operators' for a potential full continuum community development. While a small investment, it aligns with the company's strategy to expand its senior housing footprint and partnerships.
