Ventas Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend of $0.73 Per Share

VTR and CCP Dividends for the Third Quarter Represent Aggregate
Increase of 10%

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ventas, Inc. (NYSE: VTR) (“Ventas” or the “Company”) said today that its
Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.73 per
share, payable in cash on September 30, 2015 to stockholders of record
on September 15, 2015. The dividend is the third quarterly installment
of Ventas’s 2015 annual dividend.

The declared dividend is Ventas’s first following its spin-off of Care
Capital Properties, Inc. (“CCP”) on August 17, 2015. The dividend of
$0.73 per share, when combined with CCP’s declared third quarter
dividend of $0.57 per share ($0.1425 per share on a pre 1:4 adjustment
basis), is consistent with Ventas’s previously stated expectation that
the companies’ combined dividend would increase at least 10 percent from
their prior level of $0.79 per share on an aggregate basis.

The Company’s actual future results and trends may differ materially

These

obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company from and
against various claims, litigation and liabilities; (b) the ability of

obligations and liabilities to third parties, including without
limitation obligations under their existing credit facilities and other
indebtedness; (c) the Company’s success in implementing its business
strategy and the Company’s ability to identify, underwrite, finance,
consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments,
including investments in different asset types and outside the United
States; (d) macroeconomic conditions such as a disruption of or lack of
access to the capital markets, changes in the debt rating on United
States government securities, default or delay in payment by the United
States of its obligations, and changes in the federal or state budgets
resulting in the reduction or nonpayment of Medicare or Medicaid
reimbursement rates; (e) the nature and extent of future competition,
including new construction in the markets in which the Company’s seniors
housing communities and medical office buildings (“MOBs”) are located;
(f) the extent of future or pending healthcare reform and regulation,
including cost containment measures and changes in reimbursement
policies, procedures and rates; (g) increases in the Company’s borrowing
costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors; (h)

comply with laws, rules and regulations in the operation of the
Company’s properties, to deliver high-quality services, to attract and
retain qualified personnel and to attract residents and patients; (i)
changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the
markets in which the Company may, from time to time, compete, and the
effect of those changes on the Company’s revenues, earnings and capital
sources; (j) the Company’s ability to pay down, refinance, restructure
or extend its indebtedness as it becomes due; (k) the Company’s ability
and willingness to maintain its qualification as a REIT in light of
economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (l) final
determination of the Company’s taxable net income for the year ending
December 31, 2015; (m) the ability and willingness of the Company’s
tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration of the
leases, the Company’s ability to reposition its properties on the same
or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event the Company
exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations,
including indemnification obligations, the Company may incur in
connection with the replacement of an existing tenant; (n) risks
associated with the Company’s senior living operating portfolio, such as
factors that can cause volatility in the Company’s operating income and
earnings generated by those properties, including without limitation
national and regional economic conditions, costs of food, materials,
energy, labor and services, employee benefit costs, insurance costs and
professional and general liability claims, and the timely delivery of
accurate property-level financial results for those properties; (o)
changes in exchange rates for any foreign currency in which the Company
may, from time to time, conduct business; (p) year-over-year changes in
the Consumer Price Index or the UK Retail Price Index and the effect of
those changes on the rent escalators contained in the Company’s leases
and the Company’s earnings; (q) the Company’s ability and the ability of
its tenants, operators, borrowers and managers to obtain and maintain
adequate property, liability and other insurance from reputable,
financially stable providers; (r) the impact of increased operating
costs and uninsured professional liability claims on the Company’s
liquidity, financial condition and results of operations or that of the
Company’s tenants, operators, borrowers and managers, and the ability of
the Company and the Company’s tenants, operators, borrowers and managers
to accurately estimate the magnitude of those claims; (s) risks
associated with the Company’s MOB portfolio and operations, including
the Company’s ability to successfully design, develop and manage MOBs,
to accurately estimate its costs in fixed fee-for-service projects and
to retain key personnel; (t) the ability of the hospitals on or near
whose campuses the Company’s MOBs are located and their affiliated
health systems to remain competitive and financially viable and to
attract physicians and physician groups; (u) the Company’s ability to
build, maintain and expand its relationships with existing and
prospective hospital and health system clients; (v) risks associated
with the Company’s investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated
entities, including its lack of sole decision-making authority and its
reliance on its joint venture partners’ financial condition; (w) the
impact of market or issuer events on the liquidity or value of the
Company’s investments in marketable securities; (x) merger and
acquisition activity in the seniors housing and healthcare industries
resulting in a change of control of, or a competitor’s investment in,
one or more of the Company’s tenants, operators, borrowers or managers
or significant changes in the senior management of the Company’s
tenants, operators, borrowers or managers; (y) the impact of litigation
or any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues that may affect
