Welltower Announces Ten-Year Executive Continuity and Alignment Program

Welltower Inc. has introduced the Ten-Year Executive Continuity and Alignment Program to secure its senior leadership team for the next decade. The program includes a long-term equity-based incentive award in the form of units of the company’s operating partnership, Welltower OP, which will become transferable starting in 2030 and fully transferable by 2035.

The program is expected to be accretive to the company’s FFO per share in 2026. The initiative aims to align the interests of shareholders and management, ensuring leadership continuity and long-term growth.
