Non-GAAP financial measures

This prospectus supplement includes statements of our Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the Commission, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements); or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable financial measure so calculated and presented. In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We calculate and report FFO in accordance with the definition and interpretive guidelines issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which we refer to as NAREIT, and, consequently, FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for the effects of asset dispositions and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization and impairment on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We believe that FFO is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO was designed by the real estate industry to address this issue. FFO as used herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO of other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use FFO as one of several criteria to measure the operating performance of our business. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization, impairment on real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. We offer this measure to assist the users of our financial statements in evaluating our financial performance under GAAP, and FFO should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income or an indicator of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors and potential investors in our securities should not rely on this measure as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain or loss on asset sales-net, provisions for impairment and certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding our ability to service debt and provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because these measures are useful for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA primarily as performance measures. We also use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our annual budget process. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate internal comparisons to historical operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors’

S-ii

historical operating performance. Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is limited because these measures do not take into account certain material costs necessary to operate our business. These costs include, but are not limited to, the cost to service our debt, the non-cash depreciation and amortization associated with our long-lived assets, the cost of our federal and state tax obligations, if any, and the operating results of our discontinued businesses. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not take into account important elements of our cost structure, a user of our financial information who relies on EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measure of our performance could draw an incomplete or misleading conclusion regarding our financial performance. Consequently, a user of our financial information should consider net income as an important measure of our financial performance because it provides the most complete measure of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for or superior to, GAAP financial measures, or as indicators of operating performance.

Supplemental risk factors

You should carefully consider the supplemental risks described below in addition to the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before investing in the notes. See “Where you can find more information.” If any of the events described in the following risk factors occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial flexibility and our competitive position.

We have, and upon consummation of this offering and the application of the net proceeds as described in “Use of proceeds,” will continue to have a significant amount of indebtedness. See “Capitalization.” Our level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness, including the notes. Our indebtedness could have other important consequences to you and significantly impact our business. For example, it could:

•

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;

​

•

increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions;

​

•

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on our indebtedness and leases, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

​

•

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

​

•

limit our ability to make material acquisitions or take advantage of business opportunities that may arise;

​

•

expose us to fluctuations in interest rates, to the extent our borrowings bear variable rates of interest;

​

•

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

​

•

limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business plan or other general corporate purposes on satisfactory terms or at all;

​

•

reduce the amount of surplus funds distributable by the non-guarantor subsidiaries to us for use in our business, such as for the payment of indebtedness, including the notes; and

​

•

lead us to elect to make additional investments in our non-guarantor subsidiaries if their cash flow from operations is insufficient for them to make payments on their indebtedness.

​

We may incur additional debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our leverage.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although covenants under our credit agreements, the indentures governing our existing senior notes and the indentures governing the notes offered hereby will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, the terms of the indentures governing the

S-9

notes offered hereby will permit us to incur significant additional indebtedness. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risks associated with our indebtedness described above, including our possible inability to service our debt, will increase. See “Description of other indebtedness.”

The indentures governing the notes contain, and our credit facilities and our existing senior notes contain, restrictive covenants that limit our operating flexibility and could adversely affect our financial condition.

The indentures governing the notes contain, our credit facilities and the indentures governing our other existing senior notes contain, and the agreements evidencing or governing other future indebtedness may contain, restrictive covenants that will limit our operating flexibility and could adversely affect our financial condition.

The indentures governing the notes require us to comply with or maintain certain financial tests and limit or prohibit our ability to, among other things:

•

consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets; and

​

•

incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness.

​

In addition, the indentures governing the notes, the indentures governing our other existing notes and our credit agreements require us to meet specified financial tests. All of these restrictions may limit our ability to expand, pursue or execute our business strategies. If operating results fall below current levels, we may be unable to meet these financial tests or comply with the covenants. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness, in which case we may not be able to repay all of our indebtedness, and the notes may not be repaid fully, or at all.

Payment of principal and interest on the notes will be effectively subordinated to our future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt.

The notes are not secured. Our obligations and the obligations of the subsidiary guarantors under our credit agreements are currently unsecured and would be pari passu in right of payment with the notes. In the future we may choose to secure, as future secured indebtedness, certain indebtedness that is currently unsecured (including, without limitation, the indebtedness under our credit agreements), to refinance such unsecured indebtedness with secured indebtedness, or to otherwise issue or assume future secured indebtedness, subject to compliance with any applicable restrictions in the indentures relating to our existing notes and in the indentures governing the notes offered hereby. The notes would be effectively subordinate to our payment obligations in connection with any future secured indebtedness of ours, and the guaranties of the notes by the subsidiary guarantors would likewise be effectively subordinate to any future secured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors of the notes. The notes are also structurally subordinated to the existing and future indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. In the event of our liquidation or insolvency, or if any of our secured indebtedness is accelerated, the assets securing such indebtedness will first be applied to repay our obligations under our secured indebtedness in full and then to repay our obligations under our unsecured indebtedness, including under the notes. As a result, the notes are effectively subordinated to any of our future secured indebtedness (or guarantees of that indebtedness), and that of the subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness, and the notes are structurally subordinated to our existing and future indebtedness of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. The holders of the notes would, in all likelihood, recover ratably less than the lenders of our secured indebtedness in the event of our bankruptcy or insolvency.

S-10

Not all of our subsidiaries are guarantors and therefore the notes are structurally subordinated in right of payment to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

The subsidiary guarantors of the notes will include only our existing subsidiaries and future subsidiaries that guarantee any current or future indebtedness of Omega for borrowed money in an amount at least equal to $50 million (including as of the date hereof our existing notes and indebtedness under our credit agreements).

The notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes and will be required to be paid before the holders of the notes have a claim, if any, against those subsidiaries and their assets. Therefore, if there were a dissolution, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any such subsidiary, the holders of notes would not receive any amounts with respect to the notes from the assets of such subsidiary until after the payment in full of the claims of creditors, including trade creditors and secured creditors, of such subsidiary. As of December 31, 2016, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under our HUD-guaranteed mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2016, our non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $641.1 million, or 7%, of our total assets, and $446.7 million (excluding inter-company payables), or 9%, of our total liabilities.

To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash, which depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, including the notes, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to an extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If our future cash flow from operations and existing sources of funds are insufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our debt on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our existing debt and other future debt may limit our ability to pursue any of these alternatives.

Holders of the notes will not be entitled to require us to redeem or repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control or highly leveraged transactions or other designated events.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness that permits the holders of that indebtedness to require us to offer to repurchase that indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain “change of control” events. However, the notes offered hereby do not have any similar rights to require us to offer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of control event or otherwise, even though such transactions could increase the amount of our indebtedness or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure or credit ratings, thereby adversely affecting the market value of the notes. These provisions may also allow holders of that other indebtedness to be repaid upon the occurrence of certain specified transactions or events, which may deplete our available cash and sources of financing and make it difficult or impossible for us to make payments on the notes when due.

A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We plan to manage our operations to maintain a capital structure consistent with our current profile, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings.

S-11

If the applicable rating agencies reduce our credit rating or the credit rating of the notes, the market price of the notes may be adversely affected. Any downgrades in terms of ratings or outlook by any of the rating agencies could have a material adverse impact on our cost and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Under certain circumstances a court could void or subordinate the notes or the related guarantees under fraudulent transfer laws.

Our issuance of the notes and our subsidiaries’ issuance of the guarantees may be subject to review under federal bankruptcy law or state fraudulent transfer law. If we become a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or if unpaid creditors file a lawsuit against us under relevant state fraudulent transfer law, a court may review the issuance of the notes to determine whether our obligations under the notes are void as fraudulent transfers. The laws related to fraudulent transfers differ among various jurisdictions. In general, however, a court might void our obligations under the notes if it found that, when we issued the notes, (a) we received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in exchange for the notes, and (b) we either (1) were insolvent or were rendered insolvent by the issuance of the notes, (2) were left with unreasonably small capital to conduct our business, or (3) intended to incur, or believed or reasonably should have believed that we would incur, debts beyond our ability to pay. The court could also void our obligations under the notes, without regard to factors (a) and (b), if it found that we issued the notes with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud our creditors. As an alternative to voiding our obligations under the notes, a court could impose other legal or equitable remedies, such as subordinating the notes to our presently existing or future debts or take some other actions detrimental to repayment of the notes.

Similarly, if a guarantor becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or if unpaid creditors filed a lawsuit against a guarantor under relevant state fraudulent transfer law, a court may review the issuance of its guarantee to determine whether such guarantee is void as a fraudulent transfer. In general, a court might void a guarantee if it finds that when such guarantor issued its guarantee (or in some jurisdictions, when payments became due under the guarantee), factors (a) and (b) above applied to such guarantor. Similarly, the court could also void a guarantee, without regard to factors (a) and (b) above, if it found that such guarantor issued its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. Similarly, as an alternative to voiding a guarantor’s obligations under a guarantee, a court could impose other legal or equitable remedies, such as subordinating the guarantee to the guarantor’s presently existing or future debts or taking some other actions detrimental to payment on the guarantee. If a court were to void or subordinate one or more guarantees, we cannot assure you that funds would be available to pay the notes from another guarantor or from any other source.

In addition, a court could, under the legal theories discussed above, also void any payments made by us to you pursuant to the notes or any payments made by a guarantor to you pursuant to a guarantee, and require the return of any payment or the return of any realized value to us or the guarantor, as the case may be, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of us or the guarantor.

The test for determining solvency for purposes of the foregoing will vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. In general, a court would consider an entity insolvent if   (a) it could not pay its existing debts as they become due, (b) the sum of its existing debts exceeds the fair value of all of its property, or (c) the present fair saleable value of its asset is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its existing debts as they become due. For this analysis, “debts” includes contingent, unmatured and unliquidated debts. The indenture governing the notes will contain provisions intending to limit the liability of each guarantor on its guarantee to the maximum amount that such guarantor can incur without risk that its

S-12

guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. However, these provisions may not be effective to protect such guarantees from fraudulent transfer challenges, and, even if they were, such provisions would have the effect of limiting the amount you could recover under the guarantees.

If a court voided our obligations under the notes and the obligations of all of the guarantors under their guarantees, you would not have a claim against us or the guarantors and would likely have no source from which to recover amounts due under the notes.

An active trading market for the notes may not develop or be maintained.

There is no existing trading market for the 20__ notes. The underwriters may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but they have no obligation to do so and may discontinue making a market at any time without notice. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes or on any securities exchange or other established trading market.

The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend on a number of factors, including:

•

the number of holders of the notes;

​

•

our performance;

​

•

the market for similar securities;

​

•

the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes; and

​

•

prevailing interest rates.

​

An active market for the notes may not develop or be maintained.

If a bankruptcy petition were filed by or against us, you may receive a lesser amount for your claim than you would be entitled to receive under the indenture governing the notes.

If a bankruptcy case were filed by or against us under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code after the issuance of the notes, the holders of the notes may receive, on account of their claims related to the notes, less than they would be entitled to under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, even if sufficient funds are available.

S-13

U se of proceeds

We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $          million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to (i) redeem all of our outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing such notes and discharge our obligations thereunder, (ii) repay a $200 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility which is due and payable in full on June 27, 2017 and discharge our obligations with respect to such facility and (iii) repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The remainder, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. As of March 20, 2017, we had approximately $173 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the weighted average interest rate of borrowings under the revolving credit facility was approximately 2.15% per annum. As of March 20, 2017, the interest rate on the $200 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility which is due and payable in full on June 27, 2017 was 2.28% per annum. See “Description of other indebtedness” for a description of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024, the incremental term loan facility and our revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility that we repay with net proceeds from this offering may be reborrowed, subject to customary conditions. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under the incremental term loan facility and the revolving credit facility and, consequently, will receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering upon the repayment of the $200 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility and outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings. See “Underwriting—O ther Relationships (Conflicts of Interest) .”

Pending application of the net proceeds for the purposes described above, we may temporarily invest the net proceeds in short-term government securities, short-term money market funds and/or bank certificates of deposit.

D escription of other indebtedness

C redit Facilities

O mega Revolving Credit and Related Term Loan Facilities

We have a credit agreement dated as of June 27, 2014, as amended, which we refer to as the Omega Credit Agreement, with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders, which provides for a $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the Revolving Credit Facility, a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility, which we refer to as the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, a $200.0 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility, which we refer to as the Tranche A-2 Term Loan and a $350.0 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility, which we refer to as the Tranche A-3 Term Loan. We refer to the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, the Tranche A-2 Term Loan and the Tranche A-3 Term Loan collectively as the Omega Term Loans, and to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Omega Term Loans as the Omega Credit Facilities.

As of December 31, 2016, we had a total of  $190.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, we had $200.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, $200.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Tranche A-2 Term Loan and $350.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Tranche A-3 Term Loan.

The material terms of the Omega Credit Facilities are as follows:

Repayment. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on June 27, 2018, subject to a one-time option for us to extend such maturity date for one year. Exercise of such extension option is subject to compliance with a notice requirement and other customary conditions. The entire amount of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan was advanced on June 27, 2014. The Tranche A-1 Term Loan does not amortize and is due and payable in full on June 27, 2019. The Tranche A-2 Term Loan does not amortize and is due and payable in full on June 27, 2017, subject to our option to extend the maturity date of the Tranche A-2 Term Loan twice, the first extension until June 27, 2018 and the second extension until June 27, 2019. The Tranche A-3 Term Loan does not amortize and is due and payable in full on January 29, 2021.

Use of proceeds. Among other things, proceeds from borrowings under the Omega Credit Facilities may be used to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the enhancement and financing of healthcare related property.

Interest rates and fees. The interest rates per annum applicable to the Omega Credit Facilities are the London interbank offered rate, which we refer to as the Eurodollar Rate or Eurodollar, plus the applicable margin (as described below) or, at our option, the base rate, which will be the highest of   (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by the administrative agent under the Omega Credit Agreement as its prime rate in effect, (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate determined on such day for a Eurodollar Loan with an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, the applicable margin (as described below). If either the Eurodollar Rate or the base rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero. The applicable margins with respect to the Omega Credit Facilities are determined in accordance with a performance grid based on the investment grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings with respect to any non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or our Operating Partnership, as the case may be.

S-16

The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility may range from 1.70% to 0.925% in the case of Eurodollar advances (2.00% to 1.05%, including facility fees), and from 0.70% to 0% in the case of base rate advances (1.00% to 0.125%, including facility fees). Letter of credit fees may range from 1.70% to 0.925% per annum, based on the same performance grid. The applicable margin for the Omega Term Loans may range from 1.95% to 1.00% in the case of Eurodollar advances, and from 0.95% to 0.00% in the case of base rate advances. The default rate on the Omega Credit Facilities is 2.0% above the interest rate otherwise applicable to base rate loans.

Prepayments; reduction or termination of commitments. We may prepay the Omega Credit Facilities at any time in whole or in part, or reduce or terminate the revolving and term loan commitments under the Omega Credit Facilities, in each case without fees or penalty. Principal amounts prepaid or repaid under the Omega Term Loans may not be re-borrowed.

Covenants. The Omega Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on indebtedness; limitations on investments; limitations on liens; limitations on mergers and consolidations; limitations on sales of assets; limitations on transactions with affiliates; limitations on negative pledges; limitations on prepayment of debt; limitations on use of proceeds; limitations on changes in lines of business; limitations on repurchases of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. capital stock if a default or event of default exists; and maintenance of our REIT status. In addition, the Omega Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, including those relating to maximum total leverage, maximum secured leverage, maximum unsecured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum consolidated tangible net worth, minimum unsecured debt yield, minimum unsecured interest coverage and maximum distributions.

Events of default. The Omega Credit Agreement includes customary events of default including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, material breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, a change of control, bankruptcy events, material unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and loss of our REIT status.

Right to increase maximum borrowings. Subject to the terms of the Omega Credit Agreement, we may increase the commitments under the credit facilities by up to an additional $250.0 million, for maximum aggregate commitments of up to $2.25 billion.

Guarantees.

2015 term loan

On December 16, 2015, we borrowed $250.0 million under a senior unsecured term loan facility, which we refer to as the 2015 Term Loan, pursuant to a credit agreement, among Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders. As of December 31, 2016, we had $250.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the 2015 Term Loan.

S-17

The material terms of the 2015 Term Loan are as follows:

Repayment. The 2015 Term Loan does not amortize and is due and payable in full on December 16, 2022.

U se of proceeds. Among other things, proceeds from borrowing under the 2015 Term Loan may be used to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance acquisitions and to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including, without limitations, the enhancement and financing of healthcare related property.

I nterest Rates and Fees. The interest rates per annum applicable to the 2015 Term Loan are the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable margin (as described below) or, at our option, the base rate, which will be the highest of   (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by the administrative agent for the 2015 Term Loan as its prime rate in effect, (ii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate determined on such day for a Eurodollar Loan with an interest period of one month plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, the applicable margin (as described below). If either the Eurodollar Rate or the base rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero.

The applicable margins with respect to the 2015 Term Loan are determined in accordance with a performance grid based on the investment grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings with respect to any non-credit-enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be. The applicable margin for the 2015 Term Loan may range from 2.35% to 1.40% in the case of Eurodollar advances, and from 1.35% to 0.40% in the case of base rate advances. The default rate on the 2015 Term Loan is 2.0% above the interest rate otherwise applicable to base rate loans.

P repayments; Reduction or Termination of Commitments. Any prepayment made after December 16, 2016 but on or before December 16, 2017 must be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount so prepaid. Principal amounts prepaid or repaid under the 2015 Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.

Covenants. The credit agreement governing the 2015 Term Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on indebtedness; limitations on investments; limitations on liens; limitations on mergers and consolidations; limitations on sales of assets; limitations on transactions with affiliates; limitations on negative pledges; limitations on prepayment of debt; limitations on use of proceeds; limitations on changes in lines of business; limitations on repurchases of our capital stock if a default or event of default exists; and maintenance of our REIT status. In addition, the credit agreement contains financial covenants, including, without limitation, those relating to maximum total leverage, maximum secured leverage, maximum unsecured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum consolidated tangible net worth, minimum unsecured debt yield, minimum unsecured interest coverage and maximum distributions.

E vents of Default. The credit agreement governing the 2015 Term Loan includes customary events of default including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due, material breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults, a change of control, bankruptcy events, material unsatisfied or unstayed judgments and loss of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc.’s REIT status.

R ight to Increase Maximum Borrowings. Subject to the terms of the credit agreement governing the 2015 Term Loan, we may add one or more incremental tranches of term loans to the 2015 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of all such incremental tranches of term loans not to exceed $150.0 million.

S-18

The 2015 Term Loan is jointly and severally guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by our domestic subsidiaries other than (a) subsidiaries which have been designated as “unrestricted subsidiaries” under our high-yield note indenture, and (b) other subsidiaries which (i) do not own unencumbered real property meeting the criteria described in our credit agreement, and (ii) do not guarantee other unsecured funded debt of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or its consolidated subsidiaries. Additional subsidiaries created or acquired by Omega in the future (unless designated as unrestricted subsidiaries) will also be required similarly to guarantee our obligations in connection with the 2015 Term Loan and the obligations of the Operating Partnership in connection with the Operating Partnership Term Loan, if such future subsidiaries are (1) domestic subsidiaries that own such unencumbered real property or guarantee other unsecured funded debt (including, but not limited to, the unsecured senior notes) of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or its consolidated subsidiaries, or (2) foreign subsidiaries that guarantee unsecured funded debt (including but not limited to, the unsecured senior notes) of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or its domestic subsidiaries.

Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. also has entered into interest rate swap arrangements in relation to the full $250.0 million borrowed under the 2015 Term Loan, with the effect that we will pay a fixed interest rate of approximately 3.8005% on the $250.0 million borrowed. These swap arrangements took effect on December 30, 2016, and will expire in December 2022.

Certain additional terms of existing senior notes

The indentures governing our existing senior notes contain covenants that limit the ability of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their respective assets, and that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. The indenture governing our 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024, or our high-yield note indenture, also limits (among other things) the ability of Omega Healthcare investors, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to make restricted payments, and to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of certain assets. Certain of the covenants in our high-yield note indenture are subject to suspension at our option upon the satisfaction of certain conditions during any period in which the related senior notes are rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, provided at such time no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. Such additional covenants contained in the high-yield note indenture will be eliminated upon satisfaction and discharge of our high-yield note indenture or upon redemption in full of all of our outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024.

The indentures governing our existing senior notes include customary events of default including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, covenant defaults, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

Our existing senior notes are unsecured obligations of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. and are currently guaranteed by the same subsidiary guarantors that guarantee the Omega Credit Facilities and the 2015 Term Loan. Additional subsidiaries that we create or acquire in the future will be required to guarantee our existing senior notes if they guarantee other indebtedness of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. or any of our subsidiary guarantors or, after our high-yield

S-21

senior note indenture has been satisfied and discharged, if such additional subsidiaries guarantee Indebtedness (as defined in clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of   “Indebtedness” contained in “Description of the notes”) of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. equal to or greater than $50 million.

HUD secured indebtedness

As of December 31, 2016, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had approximately $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of secured indebtedness guaranteed by HUD. The balance outstanding under the HUD mortgage covers 12 facilities, with a maturity date of 2044.

The applicable margins with respect to the Operating Partnership Term Loan are determined in accordance with a performance grid based on the investment grade ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and/or Fitch Ratings with respect to non-credit-enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt of Omega or the Operating Partnership, as the case may be. The applicable margin for the Operating Partnership Term Loan may range from 100 to 195 basis points, in the case of Eurodollar advances, and from 0.95% to 0.00% in the case of base rate advances.

(2) if the notes are not so listed, while the notes are in book-entry form, in accordance with The Depository Trust Company, which we refer to as DTC, procedures, or if the notes are no longer in book-entry form, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

No notes of a principal amount of  $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If a partial redemption is made the trustee will select the notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures) unless such method is otherwise prohibited. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Sinking fund

There will be no sinking fund payments for the notes.

Ranking

The notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer, and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of the Issuer. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our consolidated Subsidiaries’ Secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including indebtedness, trade payables and lease obligations) of our non-guarantor Subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2016, as adjusted after giving effect the issuance of the notes and the application of the net proceeds as described under “Use of proceeds,” we would have had $    billion of debt outstanding, including $    under our revolving credit facility, $    million of Tranche A-1 Term Loans, $    million of Tranche A-3 Term Loans, $    million of our 2015 Term Loan, and $    million of our Operating Partnership Term Loan.

As of December 31, 2016, as adjusted after giving effect to the issuance of the notes and the application of net proceeds as described under “Use of proceeds,” we would have had approximately $    billion of Indebtedness (and $    under our revolving credit facility, $    million

S-27

of Tranche A-1 Term Loans, $    million of Tranche A-3 Term Loans, $    million of our 2015 Term Loan, and $    million of our Operating Partnership Term Loan) which would be pari passu in right of payment with the notes and the related guaranties of the Subsidiary Guarantors; and

As of December 31, 2016, as adjusted after giving effect to the issuance of the notes and the application of net proceeds as described under “Use of proceeds,” our non-guarantor Subsidiaries would have had approximately $    million aggregate principal amount of secured debt outstanding under our HUD-guaranteed mortgage loans.

See “Description of other indebtedness.”

Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of the notes will be unsecured senior obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The guarantees of our Subsidiary Guarantors will be structurally subordinated to all of the Secured Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

As of the date of the issuance of the notes, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries will include (w) certain Subsidiaries with nominal assets, (x) certain Subsidiaries that we have acquired since 2009 and which were obligors with respect to pre-existing HUD-insured Secured Indebtedness, substantially all of which Subsidiaries are structured as special purpose entities, (y) the acquisition Subsidiaries we formed for the purposes of acquiring certain of the Subsidiaries described in clause (x), and (z) certain Subsidiaries which do not guarantee indebtedness of the Issuer (that would constitute Indebtedness under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of Indebtedness) at least equal to $50 million. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this “Limitation on indebtedness for 2025 notes” covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this “Limitation on indebtedness for 2025 notes” covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

S-37

For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this “Limitation on indebtedness for 2025 notes” covenant, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included.

Maintenance of total unencumbered assets

The Issuer and its Subsidiaries will maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Guarantees by subsidiaries

The Subsidiary Guarantors will jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the notes, including the due and punctual payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the notes, whether at stated maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. If at any time after the issuance of the notes, including following any release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee under the indentures, a Subsidiary of the Issuer (including any future Subsidiary) guarantees Indebtedness of the Issuer (that would constitute Indebtedness under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition thereof) in an amount at least equal to $50 million, the Issuer will cause such Subsidiary to guarantee the notes by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture in accordance with the indentures.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee will be limited to the amount necessary to prevent such guarantee from constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable law. See “ Supplemental risk factors—Risks related to the offering—Under certain circumstances a court could void or subordinate the notes or the related guarantees under fraudulent transfer laws.” Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the trustee, the holders of the notes and their successors, transferees and assigns.

A Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under an indenture and the related guarantee:

(1) upon any sale, exchange or transfer to a Person not an Affiliate of the Issuer of all of the Capital Stock held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(2) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor; provided no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result thereof;

(3) if the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option as described under “Defeasance” or if its obligations under the indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the indenture as described under “Satisfaction and discharge”; or

(4) if a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under any such Indebtedness of the Issuer (that would constitute Indebtedness under clauses (1) or (2) under the definition thereof) in an amount at least equal to $50 million;

provided, however , that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (x) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by the relevant indenture.

At the request of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the trustee of an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the relevant indenture relating to such release have been complied with, the trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer evidencing such release.

S-38

Nothing contained in either of the indentures or in any of the notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Issuer (in which case such Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary Guarantor) or another Subsidiary Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

Reports to holders

Whether or not the Issuer is then required to file reports with the Commission, the Issuer shall file with the Commission all such reports and other information as it would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act if it was subject thereto; provided, however , that, if filing such documents by the Issuer with the Commission is not permitted under the Exchange Act, the Issuer shall provide such documents to the trustee and upon written request supply copies of such documents to any prospective holder. The Issuer shall supply the trustee and each holder or shall supply to the trustee for forwarding to each such holder, without cost to such holder, copies of such reports and other information.

Events of default

Events of Default under each of the indentures include the following:

(1) default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on any note governed by such indenture when they are due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

(2) default in the payment of interest on any note governed by such indenture when they are due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(3) default in the performance or breach of the provisions of such indenture applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer;

(4) the Issuer defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of the Issuer in such indenture or under the notes governed thereby (other than a default specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and such default or breach continues for the earlier of  (i) 60 consecutive days and (ii) such shorter period specified for comparable defaults under any Existing Note Indenture (or under any indenture pursuant to which the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor has issued any Indebtedness that refinances or refunds (x) the Indebtedness under such Existing Note Indenture or (y) such refinancing or refunding Indebtedness) after written notice by the trustee or the holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes;

(5) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of  $40 million for the 20   notes ($25 million for the 2025 notes) or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,

•

an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration, and/or

​

•

the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;

​

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a decree or order for:

S-39

•

relief in respect of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,

​

•

appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, or

​

•

the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary and, in each case, such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

​

(7) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary:

•

commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under such law,

​

•

consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary, or

​

•

effects any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

​

In addition to the foregoing Events of Default, the 2025 notes have an additional Event of Default not applicable to the 20   notes as follows:

(8) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $25 million in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not covered by insurance):

(i) shall be rendered against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be paid or discharged, and

(ii) there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $25 million during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) above that occurs with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing under an indenture, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding under such indenture, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the trustee if such notice is given by the holders), may, and the trustee at the request of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such notes then outstanding shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on such notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

S-40

If an Event or Default specified in clause (6) or (7) above occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes then outstanding under such indenture shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder. The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of such outstanding notes by written notice to the Issuer and to the trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

•

all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and

​

•

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

​

As to the waiver of defaults, see “Modification and waiver.”

The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes under an indenture may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee under such indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. However, the trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or such indenture, that may involve the trustee in personal liability, or that the trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of such notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of notes. A holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to an indenture or the notes issued thereunder unless:

(1) the holder gives the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes issued under such indenture make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such holder or holders offer the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(4) the trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes issued under such indenture do not give the trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

However, such limitations do not apply to the right of any holder of a note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due date expressed in such notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder.

The indentures require certain officers of the Issuer to certify, on or before a date not more than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, that a review has been conducted of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and of its performance under the indentures and that the Issuer has fulfilled all obligations thereunder, or, if there has been a default in fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof. The Issuer will also be obligated to notify the trustee of any default or defaults in the performance of any covenants or agreements under the indentures.

S-41

Consolidation, merger and sale of assets

The Issuer will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with or into the Issuer unless:

(1) the Issuer shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than the Issuer) formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of the Issuer shall be a corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than an individual) organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of the obligations of the Issuer on the notes and under the indenture;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis the Issuer, or any Person becoming the successor obligor of the notes, as the case may be, could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of the “Limitation on indebtedness for 20   notes” and the “Limitation of indebtedness for 2025 notes” covenants; provided, however , that this clause (3) shall not apply to a consolidation or merger with or into a Wholly Owned Subsidiary with a positive net worth; provided further, however , that, in connection with any such merger or consolidation, no consideration (other than Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) in the surviving Person or the Issuer) shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Capital Stock of the Issuer; and

(4) the Issuer delivers to the trustee an officers’ certificate (attaching the arithmetic computations to demonstrate compliance with clause (3) above) and an opinion of counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this covenant and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with; provided, however , that clause (3) above does not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of domicile of the Issuer; provided further, however , that any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations.

No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, unless:

(1) either such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be the continuing Person or the Person (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) formed by such consolidation or into which such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged shall be a corporation or other legal entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor and under the indenture; and

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiary Guarantors, the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the

S-42

properties and assets of the Issuer, will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

Upon any such consolidation, combination or merger of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, or any such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the notes or its Subsidiary Guarantee, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or the entity to which the sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor under the indenture, the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor and, except in the case of a lease, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the notes or in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Issuer’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under the notes, the indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, if applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (i) consolidate with or merge with or into the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or (ii) convert into a corporation, general or limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized under the laws of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s jurisdiction of organization or the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof.

Defeasance

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding notes (“Legal Defeasance”). Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, and the indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, except as to:

(1) rights of holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of and interest on the notes when such payments are due from the trust funds referred to below,

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust,

(3) the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the trustee, and the Issuer’s obligation in connection therewith, and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.

In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors released with respect to most of the covenants under the indenture, except as described otherwise in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”), and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain Events of Default (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) will no longer apply. Covenant Defeasance will not be effective until such bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events no longer apply. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option regardless of whether it previously exercised Covenant Defeasance.

S-43

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Issuer, to pay the principal of and interest on the notes on the stated date for payment or on the redemption date of the notes,

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States confirming that:

(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or

(b) since the date of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred,

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred,

(4) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit),

(5) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under the indenture or a default under any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such Default or default resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit),

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others, and

(7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the conditions provided for in, in the case of the officers’ certificate, clauses (1) through (6) and, in the case of the opinion of counsel, clauses (2) and/or (3) and (5) of this paragraph have been complied with.

If the funds deposited with the trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the notes when due, then our obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

S-44

Satisfaction and discharge

Satisfaction and Discharge of indenture for 20   notes. The indenture for the 20   notes will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the 20   notes, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding 20   notes when

(1) either:

(A) all the 20   notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed 20   notes which have been replaced or paid and 20   notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all 20   notes not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the 20   notes not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 20   notes to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that with respect to any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this paragraph to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption;

(2) the Issuer has paid all other sums payable under the indenture by the Issuer; and

(3) the Issuer has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

Satisfaction and Discharge of indenture for 2025 notes. The indenture for the 2025 notes will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the 2025 notes, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding 2025 notes when

(1) either:

(A) all the 2025 notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed 2025 notes which have been replaced or paid and 2025 notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all 2025 notes not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee

S-45

funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the 2025 notes not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2025 notes to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2) the Issuer has paid all other sums payable under the indenture by the Issuer; and

(3) the Issuer has delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture have been complied with.

Modification and waiver

Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing modifications and amendments of the indentures without the consent of holders of the notes, modifications and amendments of the indentures may be made by the Issuer and the trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided, however , that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any note,

(2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note,

(3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note,

(4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a redemption, on or after the redemption date) of any note,

(5) reduce the above-stated percentages of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary to modify or amend the indenture,

(6) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes,

(7) voluntarily release a Subsidiary Guarantor of the notes, except as permitted by the indenture,

(8) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults, or

(9) modify or change any provisions of the indenture affecting the ranking of the notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees in any manner adverse to the holders of the notes.

No personal liability of incorporators, stockholders, officers, directors, members, managers, employees or controlling persons

The indentures provide that no recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the notes or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the indentures, or in any of the notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager or employee or controlling person of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof. Each holder, by accepting the notes, waives and releases all such liability.

S-46

Concerning the trustee

The indentures provide that, except during the continuance of a Default, the trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in the relevant indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the relevant indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indentures and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 incorporated by reference into the indentures contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of the Issuer, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however , that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

Depository procedures

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. Omega takes no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urges investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations, whom we refer to as the Participants.

The Participants include U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers (including the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a

S-47

Participant, either directly or indirectly whom we refer to collectively as the Indirect Participants.

The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

(1) upon deposit of the global notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the underwriters with portions of the principal amount of the global notes; and

(2) ownership of these interests in the global notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interest in the global notes).

All interests in a global note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. These interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note to such persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a person having beneficial interests in a global note to pledge such interests to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of interests in the global notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or “holders” thereof under the indentures for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium on a global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the indentures. Under the terms of the indentures, Omega and the trustee will treat the persons in whose names the notes, including the global notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither Omega, the trustee nor any agent of Omega or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

(1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the global notes; or

(2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon its receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial

S-48

owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or Omega, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the notes described herein, crossmarket transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositaries for Euroclear or Clearstream.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the global notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction.

Exchange of global notes for certificated notes

Exchange of global 20   notes for certificated 20   notes

A global 20   note is exchangeable for definitive 20   notes in registered certificated form, which we refer to as certificated 20   notes, only if:

(i) DTC notifies Omega that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such global 20   note or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, Omega fails to appoint a successor depository within 90 days of such event, and

(ii) Omega executes and delivers to the trustee an officers’ certificate (and any other deliverables required under the indenture) stating that such 20   global note shall be so exchangeable.

Certificated 20   notes delivered in exchange for any 20   global note or beneficial interests in global 20   note will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of global 2025 notes for certificated 2025 notes

A global 2025 note is exchangeable for definitive 2025 notes in registered certificated form, which we refer to as certificated 2025 notes, only if:

(i) DTC notifies Omega that it is unwilling or unable to act as depository for any 2025 global note, Omega so notifies the Trustee in writing and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, or

S-49

(ii) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the registrar has received a written request from any owner of a beneficial interest in a 2025 global note to issue certificated 2025 notes.

Upon any issuance of a certificated 2025 note to a person, the trustee is required to register such certificated 2025 notes in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such person (or the nominee of any thereof).

Same day settlement and payment

We will make payments in respect of the notes represented by the global notes (including principal and premium, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the global note holder. We will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to certificated notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the certificated notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The notes represented by the global notes are expected to be eligible to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any certificated notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised us that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

Governing law

The indentures and the notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

S-50

The following table shows the underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriters by us.

The expenses of the offering payable by us, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated at $       .

N ew Issue and Reopening of Notes

The 20   notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The 2025 notes are a further issuance of the 4.50% Senior Notes due 2025 issued on July 17, 2015. The underwriters may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but they have no obligation to do so and may discontinue making a market in the notes at any time without notice. We have not listed and do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange. No assurance can be given that a trading market for the notes will develop or, if developed, that it will continue, or as to the liquidity of any trading market for the notes.

E xtended Settlement

The settlement date of the notes is expected to be            , 2017, the     business day following the trade date (such settlement date being referred to as “T+  ”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next        business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially settle in T+   to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes during such period should consult their advisors.

N o Sales of Similar Securities

We have agreed that we will not, for a period beginning on the date of the underwriting agreement and ending on the date that this offering closes, without the prior consent of the representatives, directly or indirectly, issue, sell, offer to contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any debt securities or securities exchangeable for or convertible into debt securities, except for the notes sold to the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement.

S hort Positions

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close out any short position by purchasing notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

S-52

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

O ther Relationships (Conflicts of Interest)

Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge, and certain other of the underwriters or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under our term loan facilities and revolving credit facility. We will use the net proceeds of this offering to repay our $200 million senior unsecured incremental term loan facility which is due and payable in full on June 27, 2017 and discharge our obligations thereunder and to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and such affiliates of the underwriters therefore will receive proceeds from this offering through the repayment of those borrowings. In addition, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated may pay an unaffiliated lender under our credit facility, or its affiliate, a fee in connection with sales of notes in this offering. See “Use of proceeds.”

C ertain United States federal income tax considerations

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) or to different interpretations. This summary does not address the tax consequences to subsequent purchasers of the notes and is limited to persons who purchase the notes for cash at original issue, at the offering price, and hold the notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reached in this prospectus, and no ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought on any of the issues discussed below. This discussion does not describe all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of its particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation, tax-exempt organizations, holders subject to the United States federal alternative minimum tax, dealers in securities or currencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, partnerships, S corporations or other pass-through entities, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, and persons that hold the notes in connection with a straddle, hedging, conversion or other risk-reduction transaction.

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

​

•

a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

​

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

​

•

a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if a valid election is in place to treat the trust as a U.S. person.

​

As used herein, the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of a note, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A beneficial owner that is a partnership and partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

This summary does not address the tax consequences arising under any state, local, or foreign law. Furthermore, this summary does not consider the effect of the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or any consequences that may result with respect to these transactions if the proposed Treasury regulations under Section 385 of the Code, which were published in the Federal Register on April 8, 2016, are finalized.

S-56

INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Q ualified Reopening of 2025 Notes

Pursuant to Treasury regulations, the additional issuance of the 2025 notes offered hereby will be treated as a “qualified reopening” of such notes for United States federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the 2025 notes will be deemed to have the same issue date, the same issue price, and the same adjusted issue price as the original notes issued in September 2014. The price to the public for the 2025 notes will reflect interest accrued from January 15, 2017, which will be included in the accrued interest to be paid on the first 2025 semi-annual interest payment on July 15, 2017. A holder acquiring 2025 notes in this offering must treat a corresponding portion of the interest payment on the first 2025 semi-annual interest payment on July 15, 2017 as a nontaxable return of the amount paid for accrued interest, rather than as an amount payable on the 2025 notes, and the amount paid for accrued interest should be excluded from a holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note.

Treatment of the notes

In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest or principal on the notes, including as described under “Description of the notes.” Our obligation to pay such excess amounts may cause the IRS to take the position that the notes are “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the IRS is successful in such an assertion, the timing and amount of income included and the character of gain recognized with respect to the notes may be different from the consequences described herein. Notwithstanding this possibility, we do not believe that the notes are contingent payment debt instruments, and consequently, we do not intend to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Such determination by us is binding on all holders unless a holder discloses its differing position in a statement attached to its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year during which a note was acquired. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax consequences to U.S. holders

Payments of stated interest

Stated interest on a note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it either accrues or is received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes.

Original issue discount

It is expected that the notes will not be issued with an issue price that is less than their stated redemption price at maturity by more than the statutory de minimis amount. As a result, the notes will not be subject to the original issue discount, which we refer to as OID, rules. If, however, the “stated redemption price at maturity” (generally equal to the sum of all payments required under the notes other than payments of qualified stated interest) of the notes exceeds the issue price by more than a de minimis amount, you will be required to include OID in income for United States federal income tax purposes as it accrues under a constant yield method, regardless of your method of accounting. As a result, you may be required to include OID in

S-57

taxable income prior to the receipt of cash. OID that has been included in a holder’s taxable income increases the basis in the notes for purposes of computing gain or loss on a subsequent sale, exchange, retirement, redemption, or other taxable disposition of a note.

Market discount

If you acquire a note and your adjusted tax basis in it upon acquisition is less than its principal amount, you will be treated as having acquired the note at a “market discount” unless the amount of this market discount is less than a de minimis amount (generally 0.25% of the principal amount of the note multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity of the note). Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any gain on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement, or other taxable disposition of a note, or any appreciation in a note in the case of certain nontaxable dispositions, such as a gift, as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount which has not previously been included in your income and which is treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the disposition. In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or earlier taxable disposition, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the note. Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of your acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless you elect to accrue the market discount on a constant yield method. In addition, you may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant yield method, in which case the rule described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply. This election to include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired by you during or after the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. We encourage you to consult with your tax advisor regarding these elections.

Amortizable bond premium

If you acquire a note and your adjusted tax basis in it upon acquisition is greater than its principal amount, you will be treated as having acquired the note with “bond premium.” You generally may elect to amortize this bond premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method, and the amount amortized in any year will generally be treated as a reduction of your interest income from the note for that year. If the amount of your bond premium amortization would be lower if calculated based on an earlier optional redemption date and the redemption price on that date than the amount of amortization calculated through that date based on the note’s maturity date and its stated principal amount, then you must calculate the amount and timing of your bond premium amortization deductions assuming that the note will be redeemed on the optional redemption date at the optional redemption price. You may generally recalculate your bond premium amortization amount and schedule of deductions to the extent your note is not actually redeemed at that earlier optional redemption date. If you do not make an election to amortize bond premium, your bond premium on a note will decrease the gain or increase the loss that you otherwise recognize on a disposition of that note. Any election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations that you hold at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and that you thereafter acquire. You may not revoke an election to amortize bond premium without the consent of the IRS. We encourage you to consult with your tax advisor regarding this election.

Sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or disposition of the notes

Upon the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted tax basis in the note. Your adjusted tax basis in a note will generally equal the cost of the note to

S-58

you. The amount realized excludes any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which will be includable in income as interest (taxable as ordinary income) to the extent not previously included in income. Any gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition, the note has been held for more than one year. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, net long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) are eligible for taxation at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Prospective investors should consult with their own tax advisors concerning these tax law provisions.

M edicare Tax

A 3.8% Medicare tax will be imposed on a portion or all of the net investment income of certain individuals with a modified adjusted gross income of over $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint filers or $125,000 in the case of married individuals filing separately) and on the undistributed net investment income of certain estates and trusts. For these purposes, “net investment income” generally will include interest (including interest paid with respect to a note), dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, net gain attributable to the disposition of property not held in a trade or business (including net gain from the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note) and certain other income, but will be reduced by any deductions properly allocable to such income or net gain. If you are a U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.

I nformation Reporting and Backup Withholding

Unless a U.S. holder is an exempt recipient, such as a corporation, payments made with respect to the notes may be subject to information reporting and may also be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding at the applicable rate if a U.S. holder fails to comply with applicable United States information reporting and certification requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from you under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished timely to the IRS.

Tax consequences to non-U.S. holders

P ayments of Interest

Subject to the discussions below concerning effectively connected income and backup withholding, payments of interest on the notes by us or any paying agent to you will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that (a) pursuant to the “portfolio interest” exception (i) you do not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote, (ii) you are not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of the Code) that is related, directly or indirectly, to us, (iii) you are not a bank receiving interest on the notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of your trade or business and (iv) you certify to us or our paying agent on IRS Form W-8BEN (or appropriate substitute form), under penalties of perjury, that you are not a U.S. person, provided that if you hold the note through a financial institution or other agent acting on your behalf, you provide appropriate documentation to your agent and your agent provides certification under penalties of perjury to us or our paying agent that it has received such a Form W-8BEN (or suitable substitute form) from you or a qualifying intermediary and furnishes us or our agent with a copy or (b) you are entitled to the benefits of

S-59

an income tax treaty under which such interest is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax, and you or your agent provides to us a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN (or an appropriate substitute form evidencing eligibility for the exemption). Additional certifications and procedures may be required if the notes are held through intermediaries. Payments of interest on the notes that do not meet the above-described requirements and that are not effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to a United States federal income tax of 30% (or such lower rate as provided by an applicable income tax treaty), collected by means of withholding.

S ale, Exchange, Retirement, Redemption or Disposition of the Notes

Generally, any gain recognized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale, redemption, retirement, exchange or other taxable disposition of a note (other than amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which are treated as described under “Tax consequences to non-U.S. holders—Payments of interest” above) will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding, unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business of the non-U.S. holder (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained in the United States by the non-U.S. holder), in which case such gain will generally be subject to United States federal income tax (and possibly branch profits tax) in the same manner as effectively connected interest as described below;

​

•

the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will generally be subject to United States federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be prescribed by an applicable tax treaty) on any gain recognized, which may be offset by certain United States source losses; or

​

•

the non-U.S. holder is subject to Code provisions applicable to certain United States expatriates.

​

A non-U.S. holder should consult his or her tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the disposition of the notes.

E ffectively Connected Income

The preceding discussion assumes that the interest and gain received by the non-U.S. holder is not effectively connected with the conduct by such non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the United States. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and your investment in a note is effectively connected with such trade or business, although you will be exempt from the 30% withholding tax (provided a required certification, generally on IRS Form W-8ECI, or an appropriate substitute, is provided), you generally will be subject to regular United States federal income tax at graduated rates on any interest and gain with respect to the notes in the same manner as if you were a U.S. holder, and if you are a foreign corporation you may also be subject to a branch profits tax at 30% (or such lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) on your effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments) attributable to such interest and gain. If you are eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any effectively connected income or gain generally will be subject to United States federal income tax only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and related administrative guidance (“FATCA”), a 30% United States federal withholding tax may apply to any interest paid on the notes and, for a disposition of a note

S-60

occurring after December 31, 2018, the gross proceeds from such disposition, in each case if paid to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. nonfinancial entities (including, in some instances, where such an entity is acting as an intermediary) that fail to comply with certain information reporting and due diligence obligations. Such an entity can generally establish its exemption from FATCA withholding by providing the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form). Non-U.S. entities that are organized in a jurisdiction that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the United States regarding FATCA may be subject to different rules. If an amount in respect of U.S. withholding tax were to be deducted or withheld from interest or principal payments on the notes as a result of a holder’s failure to comply with these rules or the presence in the payment chain of an intermediary that does not comply with these rules, neither the issuer nor any paying agent or any other person would be required to pay additional amounts as a result of the deduction or withholding of such tax. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than expected. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding FATCA and whether it may be relevant to their purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

I nformation Reporting and Backup Withholding

Non-U.S. holders may be required to comply with certain certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding with respect to payments on the notes or proceeds from the disposition of the notes. Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS, however, in connection with payments of interest on the notes to non-U.S. holders.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from a payment to you under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished timely to the IRS.

Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding in their particular situations, the availability of an exemption therefrom, and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if available.

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks regarding our business that are set forth in the “Risk Factors” of Part I, Item 1A to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and as supplemented in Part II, Item 1A to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference, the risks described below and any risks in the accompanying prospectus supplement, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement.

The Company

We are a self-administered real estate investment trust, which we refer to as a REIT, investing in income-producing healthcare facilities, principally long-term care facilities, located in the United States and the United Kingdom. We provide lease or mortgage financing to qualified operators of skilled nursing facilities, which we refer to as SNFs, and, to a lesser extent, assisted living facilities, which we refer to as ALFs, and independent living facilities and rehabilitation and acute care facilities, which we refer to as specialty facilities.

We are structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, which we refer to as an UPREIT. Accordingly, substantially all of our assets are held by OHI Healthcare Properties Limited Partnership, our operating partnership that is a subsidiary of Omega, which we refer to as the Operating Partnership. Omega and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega are the general partners of the Operating Partnership and have exclusive control over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. As of September 30, 2015, we owned approximately 95% of the issued and outstanding units of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership, and investors owned approximately 5% of the units.

We were incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 31, 1992. Our principal executive offices are located at 200 International Circle, Suite 3500, Hunt Valley, Maryland 21030, and our telephone number is (410) 427-1700. Additional information regarding our Company is set forth in documents on file with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” and “Available Information.”

The Operating Partnership

The following is a description of our Operating Partnership and certain of the terms of the Partnership Agreement of our Operating Partnership. For more detail, you should refer to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, which we have filed with the SEC.

We conduct substantially all of our operations and make substantially all of our investments through the Operating Partnership. As the only general partners of the Operating Partnership, Omega and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omega have exclusive control over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management, the right and power to make all decisions and take any and every action with respect to the property, business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, and all the rights, power and authority generally conferred by law, or necessary, advisable or consistent with accomplishing the purposes of the Operating Partnership. All such decisions or actions made or taken by the general partners pursuant to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership are binding upon the Operating Partnership and all of its partners.

The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership requires that the Operating Partnership be operated in a manner that enables us (1) to satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT, (2) to avoid any federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code (other than any federal income tax liability associated with our retained capital gains), including through the incurrence of debt to fund required distributions and (3) to ensure that the Operating Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation under Section 7704 of the Code. For purposes of satisfying the asset and income tests for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes, our proportionate share of the assets and income of the Operating Partnership will be deemed to be our assets and income.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, holders of units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership have redemption rights which enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash (or shares of Omega common stock, at the election of the general partners), as is more specifically detailed in the Partnership Agreement.

Use of Proceeds

We will describe the use of proceeds with respect to a particular offering in the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering material, which may include, among other things, general business purposes, including repayment of debt, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges. We have calculated the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges by adding net income (loss) from continuing operations to fixed charges and dividing that sum by such fixed charges irrespective of whether or not such dividends were actually paid. Earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and gains and losses related to retiring certain debt early.

Description of Debt Securities

The following description, together with the additional information that may be included in any applicable prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer, the particular terms of any debt securities will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. We may issue debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness, which we refer to as debt securities, from time to time in one or more distinct series.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series under one or more indentures, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under the applicable indenture is unlimited. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance.

We intend to disclose any restrictive covenants for any issuance or series of debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

10

Description of Guarantees

Certain indirect and direct subsidiaries of Omega may fully and unconditionally guarantee our obligations under any series of debt securities issued hereunder. The specific terms of any guarantee will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will not result in the obligations of such guarantor under such guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. The specific provisions under which a guarantor may be released and discharged from its guarantee will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

11

“incidental.” In the event we determine that contingencies are remote or incidental, such determination will be binding on you unless you disclose your contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. Our determination would not, however, be binding on the IRS, and if the IRS successfully challenged our determination, it could affect the timing and amount of a holder’s income and could cause the gain from the sale or other disposition of the securities to be treated as ordinary income, rather than capital gain. This disclosure assumes that the securities will not be considered contingent payment debt instruments. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the securities of the contingent payment debt regulations and the consequences thereof.

T axation of Taxable U.S. Holders of Our Securities

Payments of stated interest

Stated interest on the securities will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it either accrues or is received in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

O riginal Issue Discount

If the securities have a stated redemption price at maturity that does not exceed the issue price by more than the statutory de minimis amount, the securities will not be subject to the rules applicable to original issue discount, which we refer to as OID. If, however, the stated redemption price at maturity (generally equal to the sum of all payments required under the securities other than payments of qualified stated interest) of the securities exceeds the issue price by more than a de minimis amount, you will be required to include OID in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues under a constant yield method, regardless of your method of accounting. As a result, you may be required to include OID in taxable income prior to the receipt of cash.

Premium

If the securities are offered at a cost greater than the securities’ redemption price, you will be considered to have purchased the securities at a premium (referred to as “bond premium”), and you may elect to amortize the bond premium as an offset to interest income, using a constant yield method, over the remaining term of the securities. Amortizable bond premium is treated as a reduction of interest on the securities instead of as a deduction. If you elect to amortize the bond premium, you will be required to reduce your tax basis in the securities by the amount of the bond premium amortized during your holding period. If you do not elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of bond premium will be included in your tax basis in the securities. Therefore, if you do not elect to amortize bond premium and you hold the securities to maturity, you generally will be required to treat the bond premium as capital loss when the securities mature. If you elect to amortize the bond premium, the election generally will apply to all debt instruments that you hold at the time of the election, as well as any debt instruments that you subsequently acquire. In addition, you may not revoke the election without the consent of the IRS.

S ales, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Securities

Upon the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition of the securities, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted tax basis in the securities. Your adjusted tax basis in the securities will generally equal the cost of the securities to you plus any accrued but unpaid original discount and minus any bond premium amortization. The amount realized excludes any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid stated interest, which will be includable in income as interest (taxable as ordinary income) to the extent not previously included in income. Any gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange, retirement, redemption or other taxable disposition, the securities have been held for more than one year. For non-corporate holders, certain preferential tax rates may apply to gain recognized as long-term capital gain. The deductibility of net capital losses is subject to limitation.

Medicare tax

A 3.8% Medicare tax will be imposed on a portion or all of the net investment income of certain individuals with a modified adjusted gross income of over $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint filers or $125,000 in the case of married individuals filing separately) and on the undistributed net investment income of certain estates and trusts. For these purposes, “net investment income” generally will include interest (including interest paid with respect to the securities), dividends, annuities, royalties, rents, net gain attributable to the disposition of property not held in a trade or business (including net gain from the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the securities) and certain other income, but will be reduced by any deductions properly allocable to such income or net gain. If you are a U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the securities.

T axation of Non- U.S. Holders

The rules governing non-U.S. holders are complex, and the following discussion is intended only as a summary of such rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of United States federal, state, and local income tax laws on an investment in securities of Omega, including any reporting requirements.

P ayments of Interest

Subject to the discussions below concerning effectively connected income and backup withholding, payments of interest on the securities by us or any paying agent to you will not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that (a) pursuant to the “portfolio interest” exception (i) you do not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote, (ii) you are not a controlled foreign corporation (within the meaning of the Code) that is related, directly or indirectly, to us, (iii) you are not a bank receiving the securities on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of your trade or business and (iv) you certify to us or our paying agent on IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or appropriate substitute form), under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person, provided that if you hold the securities through a financial institution or other agent acting on your behalf, you provide appropriate documentation to your agent and your agent provides certification under penalties of perjury to us or our paying agent that it has received such IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or suitable substitute form) from you or a qualifying intermediary and furnishes us or our agent with a copy or (b) you are entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty under which such interest is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax, and you or your agent provides to us a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an appropriate substitute form evidencing eligibility for the exemption). Additional certifications and procedures may be required if the securities are held through intermediaries. Payments of interest on the securities that do not meet the above-described requirements and that are not effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to a U.S. federal income tax of 30% (or such lower rate as provided by an applicable income tax treaty), collected by means of withholding.

S ale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of the Securities

Subject to the discussion below concerning effectively connected income and backup withholding, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange, or other disposition of the securities unless you are an individual who is present in the United States for at least 183 days during the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case you will be subject to a 30% United States federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses.

E ffectively Connected Income

The preceding discussion assumes that the interest and gain received by the non-U.S. holder is not effectively connected with the conduct by such non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the United States. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and your investment in the securities is effectively connected with such trade or business, although you will be exempt from the 30% withholding

14

tax (provided a required certification, generally on IRS Form W-8ECI, or an appropriate substitute, is provided), you generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax at graduated rates on any interest and gain with respect to the securities in the same manner as if you were a U.S. holder, and if you are a foreign corporation you may also be subject to a branch profits tax at 30% (or such lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) on your effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments) attributable to such interest and gain. If you are eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any effectively connected income or gain generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax only if it is also attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, which we refer to as FATCA, on certain types of payments made to certain foreign financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax is imposed on interest payments and, commencing January 1, 2019, on gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securities, in both cases with respect to securities held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such financial institution enters into a compliance agreement with the IRS, whereby it will agree to report, on an annual basis, certain information with respect to shares in the financial institution held by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments. Likewise, interest and gross proceeds (as of the same date described above) from the sale or other disposition of our securities held by a non-financial non-U.S. entity will be subject to 30% withholding unless such non-financial non-U.S. entity (1) certifies to Omega either that (A) the non-financial non-U.S. entity does not have a “substantial United States owner” or (B) provides Omega with the name, address and U.S. TIN of each substantial U.S. owner and (2) Omega does not know or have reason to know that the certification or information provided regarding substantial U.S. owners is incorrect. If a non-financial non-U.S. entity provides Omega with the name, address, and TIN of a substantial United States owner, Omega will provide such information to the IRS. Omega will not pay any additional amounts to any paying agent or other person in respect of any amounts withheld.

I nformation Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding Tax

If you are a U.S. holder, Omega will report to its U.S. holders and to the IRS the amount of interest on the securities or proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of the securities paid during each calendar year and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect thereto. Generally, backup withholding will apply to such payments if:

•

you fail to furnish a TIN in the prescribed manner;

​

•

the IRS notifies us that the TIN furnished by you is incorrect;

​

•

the IRS notifies us that you are subject to backup withholding because you failed to report properly the receipt of reportable interest or dividend payments; or

​

•

you fail to certify under penalties of perjury that you are not subject to backup withholding.

​

A U.S. holder who does not provide Omega with the holder’s correct taxpayer identification number also may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

If you are a non-U.S. holder, generally, backup withholding does not apply to payments of interest if the certification described under “— Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders — Payments of Interest” is provided to us (provided that we have no actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person). Information reporting may still apply to payments of interest even if a certification is provided and interest is exempt from such withholding. Payments of proceeds made to a non-U.S. holder upon a sale or other taxable disposition (including a retirement or redemption) of securities by (i) a U.S. office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the above-mentioned certification is provided to us and (ii) a foreign office of a foreign broker, will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding, unless the broker has certain connections with the United States, in which case information reporting (but generally not backup withholding) will apply (except where the broker has in its records documentary evidence that the beneficial owner is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption). Backup withholding may

15

apply to any payment that the broker is required to report if the broker has actual knowledge or reason to know that the payee is a United States person. In addition to the foregoing, we must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder on IRS Form 1042-S the entire amount of interest paid to you. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or other agreement.

Holders of securities should consult their tax advisers regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding to their particular situations, the availability of an exemption therefrom and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available. Some holders (including, among others, corporations) are generally not subject to information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld will be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

P ossible Legislative or Other Actions Affecting Tax Consequences

Prospective holders of our securities should recognize that the present federal income tax treatment of investment in our Company may be modified by legislative, judicial or administrative action at any time and that any of these actions may affect investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury Department, resulting in revisions of regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts as well as statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could adversely affect the tax consequences of investment in our Company.

S tate and Local Taxes

We may be and you may be subject to state or local taxes in other jurisdictions such as those in which we may be deemed to be engaged in activities or own property or other interests. The state and local tax treatment of us may not conform to the federal income tax consequences discussed above.

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and such prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or from others to settle those short sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivative transactions to close out any related open borrowings of securities. If the third party is or may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act, it will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplements.

Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters are permitted to engage in some transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.

Underwriters may engage in overallotment. If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

The lead underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on other underwriters and selling group members participating in an offering. This means that if the lead underwriters purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of any selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those securities as part of the offering.

In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security before the distribution is completed.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Under agreements into which we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against or contribution towards certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the applicable securities laws.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, perform services for us or be our tenants in the ordinary course of business.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by particular institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such prospectus supplement. Each delayed delivery contract will be for an amount no less than, and the aggregate amounts of securities sold under delayed delivery contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with which such contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but will in all cases be subject to our approval. The obligations of any purchaser

18

under any such contract will be subject to the conditions that (a) the purchase of the securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are being sold to underwriters, we shall have sold to the underwriters the total amount of the securities less the amount thereof covered by the contracts. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.

To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the offer of securities, or their affiliates or associates, may have engaged or engage in transactions with and perform services for us, our Operating Partnership or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they may have received or receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.
