EXPLANATORY NOTE
Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (the “Registrant”)
previously filed (i) a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
on July 26, 2004 (File No. 333-117656) registering 3,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock par value $0.10 per
share (“Common Stock”) issuable under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”)
and (ii) a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Commission on June 6, 2013 (File No. 333-189144) registering an additional
3,000,00 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Registrant’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan” and
together with the Original Plan, the “Prior Plans”), which was an amendment and restatement of the Original Plan.
On June 8, 2018, the shareholders of the
Registrant approved the Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which amended the
Prior Plan by, among other things, increasing the number of shares of Common Stock that the Registrant is authorized to issue by
4,500,000 shares (the “Additional Shares”). The Plan is more completely described in the Registrant’s Definitive
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 30, 2018.
This Registration Statement on Form S-8
is being filed for the purpose of registering the Additional Shares issuable under the Plan, which are of the same class as those
securities covered by the Prior Registration Statements.

Item 4. Description
of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
The charter and bylaws of the Registrant
provide for indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Maryland law.
Section 2-418 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Maryland generally permits indemnification of any director or officer with respect to any proceedings unless
it is established that: (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and was either (i) committed in bad faith or (ii) the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b) the director or officer actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the director
or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The indemnity may include judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceedings. However,
a corporation may not indemnify a director or officer who shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, or who instituted
a proceeding against the corporation (unless such proceeding was brought to enforce the indemnification provisions of Section 2-418,
or the charter, bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation or an agreement approved by the board of directors).
In addition, a director may not be indemnified under Section 2-418 in respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit
to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged
to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or
settlement does not create a presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for
permitted indemnification. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an
entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet that
standard of conduct. A director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
referred to above shall be indemnified against any reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with the
proceeding. As noted below, the SEC may limit the corporation’s obligation to provide this indemnification.
The Registrant has also entered into indemnity
agreements with the officers and directors of the registrant that provide that the registrant will, subject to certain conditions,
pay on behalf of the indemnified party any amount which the indemnified party is or becomes legally obligated to pay because of
any act or omission or neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement,
which the indemnified party commits or suffers while acting in the capacity as an officer or director of the registrant. Once an
initial determination is made by the Registrant that a director or officer did not act in bad faith or for personal benefit, the
indemnification provisions contained in the charter, bylaws, and indemnity agreements would require the Registrant to advance any
reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer, and to pay the costs, judgments, and penalties determined against a director
or officer in a proceeding brought against them.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act is permitted to directors and officers of the registrant pursuant to the above-described provisions,
the registrant understands that the SEC is of the opinion that such indemnification contravenes federal public policy as expressed
in said act and therefore is unenforceable.
Item 7. Exemption
from Registration Claimed.
None.
Item 8. Exhibits.
*Filed herewith
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
(i)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8
and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
City of Hunt Valley, State of Maryland, on June 13, 2018.
