UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below have been prepared based on certain pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of Health Care REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and FC-GEN Acquisition Holding, LLC (“Acquisition Holding”) as of September 30, 2010 and the twelve months ended September 30, 2010. The historical consolidated financial statements of the Company are contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The historical consolidated financial statements of Acquisition Holding are included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to (i) the proposed acquisition by the Company of 100% of the equity interests in Acquisition Holding, which indirectly owns (1) 140 senior housing and care facilities (137 of fee simple and three pursuant to ground leases) and (2) the leasehold interests in and options to purchase seven senior housing and care facilities, for approximately $2.4 billion (collectively, the “Acquisition”) and (ii) the proposed lease by the Company to Genesis Operations, LLC (“Tenant”) under which the Tenant will operate the acquired facilities (the “Master Lease”). Prior to closing, FC-GEN Operations Investment, LLC (“OpCo”) will be a direct subsidiary of Acquisition Holding. Prior to the closing date, Acquisition Holding will contribute the assets, liabilities and equity interests relating to (i) the business of operating and managing senior housing and care facilities, (ii) joint venture entities and (iii) other ancillary businesses to OpCo and then distribute all of the equity interests in OpCo to FC-GEN Investment, LLC (“FC-GEN”). Tenant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpCo. All obligations under the Master Lease will be guaranteed by OpCo. In addition, in conjunction with the Acquisition, Company will have the option to acquire a 9.9% ownership interest in OpCo for a fixed price equal to $47 million at any time during the initial term of the Master Lease. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred as of that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 has been prepared as if the Acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2010. Such statements also give effect to the application of proceeds from recently consummated common stock and preferred stock offerings undertaken by the Company in order to finance part of the Acquisition.

     The allocation of the purchase price of Acquisition Holding reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets ultimately acquired and liabilities ultimately assumed. A final determination of the fair values of Acquisition Holding’s assets and liabilities, which cannot be made prior to the completion of the Acquisition, will be based on the actual valuation of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Acquisition Holding that exist as of the date of completion of the Acquisition. Consequently, amounts preliminarily allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities could change significantly from those used in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented below and could result in a material change in amortization of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Additionally, the senior unsecured notes proceeds assumed in the pro forma as adjusted columns are predicated on anticipated sales of debt securities by the Company. There can be no assurance that such sales will occur on the terms estimated or at all.

     In the opinion of the Company’s management, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include all significant necessary adjustments that can be factually supported to reflect the effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily and should not be assumed to be an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The completion of the valuation, the allocation of the purchase price, the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of completion of the Acquisition and other changes in Acquisition Holding tangible and intangible assets and liabilities that occur prior to completion of the Acquisition could cause material differences in the information presented. Furthermore, following consummation of the Acquisition, the Company expects to apply its own methodologies and judgments in accounting for the assets and liabilities acquired in the Acquisition, which may differ from those reflected in Acquisition Holding’s historical consolidated financial statements and the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

HEALTH CARE REIT, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the respective historical financial statements and the notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 and of Acquisition Holding as of September 30, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 that are incorporated herein by reference.

(A)		As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Acquisition Holding, a private company, has not completed its audit for the year ended December 31, 2010. As such, the Company has elected to use the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acquisition Holding as of September 30, 2010 which have been presented based on the financial statement classifications utilized by the Company.
(B)		On February 28, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Acquisition Holding for a total cash purchase price of $2,400,000,000. The total purchase price of $2,476,811,000 is comprised of the cash consideration and the fair value of capital lease obligations totaling $76,811,000 (see Note H). Immediately after the Acquisition, Tenant will lease the facilities acquired from Acquisition Holding from the Company pursuant to the Master Lease (see Note K). All obligations under the lease will be guaranteed by OpCo. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company estimates it will pay approximately $42,583,000 of fees and costs including advisory fees ($6,000,000), legal fees ($2,000,000), due diligence and other closing costs ($28,000,000) and fees associated with bridge loan financing ($6,583,000). Fees associated with bridge loan financing will be deferred and amortized over the term of the loan. The other $36,000,000 of costs are directly attributable to the Acquisition and represent non-recurring costs; therefore, the anticipated impact on the results of operations was excluded from the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income.
(C)		Prior to closing, OpCo will be a direct subsidiary of Acquisition Holding. Immediately before the closing date, certain subsidiaries of Acquisition Holding will transfer the assets, liabilities and equity interests relating to (i) the business of operating and managing senior housing and care facilities, (ii) joint venture entities and (iii) other ancillary businesses to OpCo and then distribute all of the equity interests in OpCo to FC-GEN. The parties intend that under no circumstances shall the Company be deemed the owner of, or otherwise have control over, OpCo, its subsidiaries or the assets, liabilities and equity thereof for any period of time. As such, all relevant amounts relating to OpCo have been eliminated from Acquisition Holding. Adjustments identified represent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of OpCo that were not retained in the Acquisition. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the Company will have primarily acquired 140 senior housing and care facilities and the leasehold interests in and options to purchase seven other senior housing and care facilities.
(D)		Adjustments to real property follow (in thousands):

Real property not acquired:(1)
Land and land improvements		$	(16,342	)
Buildings and improvements			(275,830	)
Construction in progress			(2,565	)
Accumulated depreciation and amortization			72,684
Total real property not acquired			(222,053	)
Fair value adjustments:(2)
Land and land improvements			(97,578	)
Buildings and improvements			859,810
Construction in progress			(2,409	)
Accumulated depreciation and amortization			185,635
Total real property fair value adjustments			945,458
Net real property asset adjustments		$	723,405

(E)		Adjustments represent the deferral of $6,583,000 of fees associated with bridge financing (see Note B) offset by the elimination of Acquisition Holding’s deferred loan costs of $12,078,000.
(F)		Adjustments represent elimination of deferred tax assets and liabilities of Acquisition Holding. As a result of the Acquisition, we are subject to corporate level taxes for any asset acquired in the Acquisition and subsequently sold for a period of 10 years

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

subsequent to closing (“built-in gains tax”). The amount of income potentially subject to this special corporate level tax is generally equal to (i) the excess of the fair value of the asset as of the date of closing over its adjusted tax basis as of the date of closing, or (ii) the actual amount of gain, whichever of (i) and (ii) is lower. We have not recorded a deferred tax liability as a result of the potential built-in gains tax based on our intentions with respect to such assets and available tax planning strategies. Additionally, at the closing of the Acquisition, 100% of the real estate of Acquisition Holding will be acquired by a subsidiary of the Company; accordingly, assuming the Acquisition was effective January 1, 2010, all of the amounts of the income tax expense would then be eliminated.

(G)		The Company expects to fund $2,400,000,000 of cash consideration and other associated costs of the Acquisition primarily with permanent financing and available cash. The Company has obtained a commitment for a 364-day bridge loan of $2,400,000,000. The original commitment amount of the bridge loan facility was reduced by approximately $1,829,732,000, the amount of a portion of the net proceeds of the common stock and preferred stock offerings. Although the Company intends to finance the Acquisition through the proceeds of the completed offerings of common stock and preferred stock (see Note N), cash on hand and the current offering of senior unsecured notes, for purposes of these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements we have initially assumed a drawdown of $345,500,000 under the bridge loan at the closing of the Acquisition. However, the Company does not expect to utilize the bridge loan assuming the successful completion of the notes offering (see Note P). Approximately $1,670,563,000 of Acquisition Holding’s long-term debt is expected to be settled or repaid at closing.
(H)		At closing, Company will assume existing leases at seven properties. Acquisition Holding has historically recognized these leases as capital leases due to bargain purchase options. Company has adjusted the capital lease obligations to estimated fair values.
(I)		Adjustment to the total members’ equity represents the elimination of such balance of Acquisition Holding.
(J)		As discussed in Note A, Acquisition Holding has not completed its audit for the year ended December 31, 2010. As such, the following represents Acquisition Holding’s unaudited condensed consolidated results from continuing operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010 as derived from the audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acquisition Holding (in thousands):

(K)		Immediately after the closing of the Acquisition, a subsidiary of the Company will lease the acquired facilities to Tenant pursuant to the Master Lease. In addition to rent, the triple net Master Lease requires Tenant to pay all operating costs, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, building repairs, maintenance costs and all obligations under the ground leases. All obligations under the Master Lease will be guaranteed by OpCo. The initial term will be fifteen years. Tenant will have one option to renew for an additional term of fifteen years. The Master Lease will provide that the base rent for the first year will be $198,000,000 and will increase at least 1.75% but no more than 3.50% (subject to CPI changes) for each of the years two through six during the initial term and at least 1.50% but no more than 3.00% per year thereafter (subject to CPI changes). The adjustment to rental income represents the estimated straight-line rent the Company expects to recognize based on the minimum rent escalators during the initial term.
(L)		The pro forma increase in interest expense as a result of the bridge loan financing in the Acquisition is calculated using market rates management believes would have been available to the Company for the borrowings assumed to have been issued as of February 25, 2011 (the last business date before the date that the definitive agreement was executed to acquire Acquisition Holding) pursuant to the bridge loan commitment. The all-in cost of bridge financing is estimated to be 7.97%. Each 1/8 of 1% increase in the annual interest rate assumed with respect to the debt would increase pro forma interest expense by $432,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Adjustments to interest expense are as follows (in thousands):

Elimination of Acquisition Holding’s interest expense		$	(130,741	)
Interest expense and fees associated with bridge loan			20,950
Amortization of deferred fees associated with bridge loan (Note B)			6,583
Interest expense on capital lease obligations (Note H)			3,978
Total		$	(99,230	)

(M)		Adjustments to depreciation and amortization represent the elimination of Acquisition Holding’s historical depreciation ($61,824,000) offset by depreciation expense as a result of the recording of Acquisition Holding’s real property at its estimated fair value ($63,533,000). Estimated useful lives of 40 years and 15 years were assumed to compute depreciation for buildings and improvements, respectively, on a straight-line basis.
(N)		Adjustments represent the issuance of 28,750,000 shares of Company common stock and 14,375,000 shares of Company 6.50% Series I cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock and the application of the proceeds therefrom of $2,054,500,000 to fund a portion of the Acquisition’s cash consideration. The shares of Company common and preferred stock issued are valued as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(O)		Adjustment represents the dividend on the issuance of 14,375,000 shares of the Company’s 6.50% Series I cumulative convertible perpetual preferred stock (see Note N).
(P)		Adjustments represent the anticipated issuance and sale of $1,000,000,000 of senior unsecured notes due 2016-2041 with an assumed weighted-average interest rate of 5.44% (calculated using market rates management believes would have been available to the Company for the borrowings assumed to have been issued as of March 8, 2011) and the application of the estimated net

proceeds therefrom of $992,000,000. As a result of not utilizing bridge financing, the Company would not expect to pay the $6,583,000 of bridge fees. The notes proceeds assumed are predicated on anticipated sales of debt securities by the Company. There can be no assurance that such sales will occur on the terms estimated herein or at all. The notes assumed to be issued are valued as follows (in thousands):

Repayment of unsecured line of credit arrangement			300,000

(Q)		Adjustments to interest expense represent the recognition of $55,183,000 of assumed interest and fees associated with the senior unsecured notes offerings offset by $27,533,000 reduction in interest and fees associated with the bridge loan resulting from the use of proceeds from the notes offerings. See Note P for a discussion of the interest rate assumptions. Each 1/8 of 1% increase in the annual interest rate assumed with respect to the notes would increase adjusted pro forma interest expense by $1,250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
