Executive Summary

Welltower entered into a new $7.5B at-the-market (ATM) equity distribution agreement, replacing the prior October 2025 facility, and filed a resale prospectus for 261,753 shares issued as property acquisition consideration. The massive shelf authorization signals potential future equity issuance, but no shares have been sold yet under the new program — this is a routine capital markets infrastructure update for a large-cap REIT with no immediate dilution.
