Item 8.01Other Events.

On September 6, 2024, Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an "at-the-market" equity offering sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with each of the institutions named therein (or certain of their respective affiliates) in their capacity as Sales Agents, as Forward Sellers and/or as Forward Purchasers, in each case as described below, relating to (i) the issuance and sale by the Company to or through the Sales Agents, from time to time, of shares (the "Issuance Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"), and (ii) the sale by the Forward Sellers, as agents on behalf of the Forward Purchasers, of Common Stock (the "Forward Shares" and, together with the Issuance Shares, the "Securities"), with the Securities to be sold under the Sales Agreement not to exceed an aggregate gross sales price of $1,250,000,000, and in connection therewith, on September 6, 2024, terminated its prior "at the market" equity offering sales agreement dated May 20, 2021. We refer to these entities, when acting in their capacity as sales agents for the Company, individually as a "Sales Agent" and collectively as the "Sales Agents," when acting in their capacity as counterparties to forward sale agreements, individually as a "Forward Purchaser" and collectively as the "Forward Purchasers," and when acting in their capacity as agents for the Forward Purchasers, individually as a "Forward Seller" and collectively as the "Forward Sellers."

Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company may enter into one or more forward sale agreements with one or more of the Forward Purchasers. In connection with each such forward sale agreement, the relevant Forward Purchaser will, at the Company's request, use commercially reasonable efforts to borrow from third parties and, through the relevant Forward Seller, sell a number of Forward Shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such forward sale agreement.

The sales, if any, of the Issuance Shares will be made through the Sales Agents acting as sales agents for the Company or directly to the Sales Agents acting as principals. The sales, if any, of the Forward Shares will be made through the Forward Sellers, acting as agents for the applicable Forward Purchasers. The sales, if any, of the Securities will be made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, by means of negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, or any other method permitted by applicable law. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Securities under the Sales Agreement, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Sales Agreement.

Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, Issuance Shares sold directly to the Sales Agents as principals for their own accounts will be sold at prices agreed upon at the time of sale. If the Company sells Issuance Shares to any Sales Agent as principal, it will enter into a separate terms agreement with such Sales Agent. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time.

The Sales Agreement provides that each Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation that will not exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of all Issuance Shares sold through it as Sales Agent. The Sales Agreement also provides that a Forward Seller will be entitled to commissions at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price of all borrowed shares of the Common Stock sold by the applicable Forward Seller, which commissions will be in the form of a reduced initial forward sale price under the related forward sale agreement with the related Forward Purchaser.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the form of forward sales agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of forward sales agreement, which is filed as Annex 2 to Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Although the Company expects to physically settle any forward sale agreement into which it enters (by the delivery of shares of the Common Stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares of Common Stock upon one or more forward settlement dates no later than the date that is two years from entry into the applicable forward sale agreement, the Company may elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under any forward sale agreement. If the Company elects to cash settle any forward sale agreement, it may not receive any proceeds, and it may owe cash to the relevant Forward Purchaser in certain circumstances. If the Company elects to net share settle any forward sale agreement, it will not receive any proceeds, and it may owe shares of Common Stock to the relevant Forward Purchaser in certain circumstances. Any forward sale agreement is subject to early termination or settlement under certain circumstances.
