Real Property Acquisitions and Development Real Property Acquisitions and Development 
The total purchase price for all properties acquired through asset acquisitions is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities at cost on a relative fair value basis. Liabilities assumed and any associated noncontrolling interests are reflected at fair value. For properties acquired through business combinations, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any associated noncontrolling interests are recorded at fair value, with any excess consideration accounted for as goodwill. Acquired lease intangibles primarily relate to assets in our Seniors Housing Operating portfolio and generally have amortization periods of one to two years.
Transaction costs primarily represent costs incurred with acquisitions, including due diligence costs, fees for legal and valuation services, termination of pre-existing relationships computed based on the fair value of the assets acquired, lease termination fees and other acquisition-related costs. Transaction costs directly related to asset acquisitions are capitalized as a component of purchase price and all other non-capitalizable costs are reflected in other expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred.
Our acquisitions of properties are at times subject to earn out provisions based on the future operating performance of the acquired properties which could result in incremental payments in the future. Our policy is to recognize such contingent consideration with respect to asset acquisitions when the contingency is resolved and the consideration becomes payable. Contingent consideration with respect to business combinations is included in purchase consideration based on the initial estimated fair value. These amounts are included within the total net real estate assets and total liabilities sections of the table below.
The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition and are a component of the appropriate segments.
The following is a summary of our real property investment activity by segment for the periods presented (in thousands):

The portfolio was funded with cash on hand, the assumption of $408,623,000 of secured debt and $27,589,000 of exchangeable partnership units that can be converted into Welltower common shares. The portfolio is included in our Seniors Housing Operating segment and is operated by Amica Senior Lifestyles (“Amica”).

The transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions.
Barchester Healthcare Acquisition
During October 2025, in a series of transactions, we acquired all of the shares of Mint UK Bidco LLC (“Barchester”). The acquired portfolio consists of 111 properties in the U.K. held in a RIDEA structure managed by Barchester Healthcare and reported in our Seniors Housing Operating segment, 150 properties subject to a triple-net lease with Barchester Healthcare and reported in our Triple-net segment, and 21 properties under development which will also be managed by Barchester Healthcare in a RIDEA structure following development completion. Total consideration for the transaction, net of cash acquired, was $6,851,721,000, which included non-cash consideration of $1,544,747,000 primarily related to OP Units delivered in exchange for the contribution of the shares of the acquired entity.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. We finalized the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded immaterial measurement
period adjustments primarily related to our review of tangible and intangible assets acquired and their related tax basis, and the finalization of our review of certain net working capital assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

HC-One operated 282 seniors housing properties in the U.K. including owned properties and leasehold interests. The acquired properties are reported within our Seniors Housing Operating segment. Since the transaction closed, we have transitioned management of 89 properties to other operators. Total consideration for the transaction, net of cash acquired, was $1,646,860,000, which included $908,605,000 related to the settlement of existing contractual arrangements between us and HC-One and was primarily attributable to the settlement of our existing real estate loan receivable of $882,326,000, as well as the settlement of equity warrants and an equity interest previously held by us and resulted in reduced cash consideration.

Subsequent Acquisition Activity
In October 2026, we announced that we have closed or expect to close approximately $7 billion of seniors housing acquisitions through the end of the year. These acquisitions include a Canadian portfolio of 27 properties for a purchase price of C$2.2 billion, which closed on October 1, 2026. The acquisition, which will be reported in our Seniors Housing Operating segment, was funded through the assumption of C$639 million of secured debt, with the remainder funded with cash on hand. In addition, included in our announced investment activity is a 62 property portfolio in the United States that we are under contract to acquire for approximately $2.6 billion. The transaction is expected to be funded with cash and OP unit issuances in the fourth quarter. The portfolio will be leased to a tenant under a long term triple-net master lease. Expected acquisitions not yet closed are subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
