Bill Wagner, CareTrust\u2019s Chief Financial Officer, said, \u201cLauren joined us just after CareTrust launched, and was immediately responsible for implementing and establishing an accounting system to deliver timely and accurate financial reporting. Since that time, she has continued to greatly expand her role beyond accounting and into finance and investor relations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. Stapley also praised Mr. Callister\u2019s contributions as CareTrust\u2019s outside transactional counsel. \u201cIt was just logical to bring James in-house,\u201d said Mr. Stapley. \u201cHe has provided brilliant legal support to us for a long time, and the move to in-house will allow him to participate in more of the strategic conversations as well,\u201d he added. Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust\u2019s Chief Operating Officer, noted that Mr. Callister has been involved in virtually every investment CareTrust has made, as well as the company\u2019s more complex asset management work. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to finally have James to ourselves, and look forward to his deeper participation in the highly collaborative management culture we\u2019ve fostered,\u201d Mr. Sedgwick concluded.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Ms. Beale has served as CareTrust\u2019s Controller since September 2014. Prior to joining CareTrust, she worked in Global Portfolio Accounting for The Capital Group Companies, Inc., an investment management firm serving retail and institutional investors. Ms. Beale started her career at Ernst &amp; Young, LLP serving real estate clients, including several REITs, and also working in the firm\u2019s Professional Practice \u2013 Accounting group, based out of its national office. Ms. Beale is a Certified Public Accountant (inactive) in the State of California.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. Callister is a real estate and corporate attorney whose transactional experience includes representing clients in a diverse array of complex real estate and healthcare finance transactions.
