Shareholders of record should expect to receive an IRS Form 1099-DIV from Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, CareTrust REIT’s 2016 dividend paying agent. “Street name” shareholders should expect to receive the IRS Form 1099-DIV from their applicable bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee. Because CareTrust REIT’s tax return has not yet been filed for the year ended December 31, 2016, the distribution allocations presented in the table above have been calculated using the available information to date.
CareTrust REIT encourages shareholders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of these distributions.
