(1)	Per $1,000 principal amount.
(2)	The Total Consideration for Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread (as set forth in the table above) and is inclusive of the applicable Early Tender Premium (as set forth in the table above).

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are set forth in the offer to purchase, dated June 20, 2019, as amended on June 20, 2019 (as the same may be further amended or supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase"). The Tender Offers will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, at the end of July 18, 2019, unless the applicable Tender Offer is earlier terminated.

As of 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, at the end of July 3, 2019 (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the "Early Tender Time"), according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the Tender Offers, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes set forth in the table above under "Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Time" had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City Time, at the end of July 3, 2019.

The applicable "Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for each series of Notes specified in the table above plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 10:00 a.m., New York City Time, today.

HCP expects to announce the pricing of the Tender Offers, the amount of each series of Notes accepted for purchase, and the proration rates for any applicable series of Notes later today.

Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for such Notes accepted for purchase. Holders of each series of Notes will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date.

HCP has satisfied the financing condition to the Tender Offers and, on July 8, 2019, expects to pay for the Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Time and that are accepted for purchase.

Since the Tender Offers for the Notes were fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, HCP does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time.
