The 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (accession 0000766704-26-000030) records $908,605,000 of the HC-One consideration as settlement of existing contractual arrangements, primarily attributable to settlement of the existing real estate loan receivable of $882,326,000, which reduced the cash consideration paid. Together with roughly $4 billion of additional U.S. seniors-housing acquisitions (nearly 40 transactions, over 150 communities), total announced/closed transaction volume was described as $23 billion, funded in part through the sale of an 18-million-square-foot outpatient medical (OM) portfolio valued at approximately $7.2 billion, which the October 2025 announcement described as being sold in multiple tranches through mid-2026 and which the 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (accession 0000766704-26-000030) describes as continuing to occur in tranches expected to close by the end of 2026. **Amica Senior Lifestyles acquisition (Canada) — closed April 1, 2026.** Per the first-quarter and second-quarter 2026 earnings releases (accessions 0000766704-26-000018 and 0000766704-26-000026), Welltower completed the previously announced acquisition of a Canadian portfolio of 38 seniors housing communities for a pro rata purchase price of C$4.1 billion, consisting of C$3.5 billion of cash and the assumption of C$617 million of secured debt at an average interest rate of 3.6%.
