Item 2.02

Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On April 21, 2022 Welltower Inc. (the “Company”) issued a business update presentation, which updated the previous business update presentation issued on April 5, 2022. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, and is incorporated herein by reference. As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2022, the company formerly known as Welltower Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Welltower”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the company formerly known as WELL Merger Holdco Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Welltower (“New Welltower” or the “Company”), and WELL Merger Holdco Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of New Welltower (“Merger Sub”). Effective on April 1, 2022, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Old Welltower, with Old Welltower continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Welltower (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Old Welltower’s name was changed to Welltower OP Inc., and New Welltower inherited the name “Welltower Inc.” Financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and all other periods prior to the effectiveness of the Merger relate to Welltower OP Inc., rather than New Welltower.

The information included in this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
