Item 8.01 Other Events.

Healthcare Trust of America, Inc. (NYSE:HTA) ("HTA") announced today that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2013. The dividend will be paid on April 4, 2013 to stockholders of record on March 29, 2013. This dividend, in the amount of $0.14375 per share, represents an annualized rate of $0.575 per share and will be paid on all Class A and Class B shares. This represents an annualized yield of 5.6% based on the closing price of HTA’s Class A common stock on January 18, 2013.

The amount of distributions HTA pays to its stockholders is determined by HTA’s board of directors, at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for the payment of distributions, HTA’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain HTA’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. HTA’s board of directors may reduce its distribution rate and HTA cannot guarantee the amount of distributions paid in the future, if any.
