Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

(Operator Instructions). And our first question will come from Kristin Brown with Deutsche Bank.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

Hi good morning, guys. I just wanted to ask on the two rehab hospitals held for sale. Why the decision to sell, and are you actively marketing those assets?

Tom Peterson

The assets are being actively marketed. The decision to sell really came from Sun, the operator. And I think that it's their operating strategy to move away from those hospitals and focus on their SNF portfolio. But yes, we are actively marketing those assets; and it's likely they will be sold in the next couple months.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

And that's not included in your guidance?

Bob Stephenson

It is not included in our guidance, no.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

Okay. And then can you talk about the financing on the assets that you closed this quarter? Was that all off the credit line?

Bob Stephenson

That's correct.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

Okay. And then just in terms of the dividend reinvestment plan, how many shares were issued during the quarter?

Bob Stephenson

During the quarter -- well we ended the quarter with 69 million shares; and approximately 600,000 shares were issued, almost 700,000 during the quarter.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

Okay. And then last question, have there been sort of any meaningful additions to your watch list in terms of tenants that might be potentially problematic?

Bob Stephenson

No.

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

No? Okay, thank you.

Operator

Anything further, Ms. Brown?

Kristin Brown - Deutsche Bank

That's it, thanks.
