NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (NYSE:HR) today announced the nomination of 11 of its current 13 directors to stand for election to its Board of Directors at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 21, 2024. The Board has also fixed its size at 11 directors pursuant to the authority granted under the Company’s bylaws.
Current directors W. Bradley Blair, II, Vice Chairman, and Edward H. Braman will be retiring from service on the Board of Directors upon the completion of their current terms of office. Accordingly, they have not been nominated to stand for election at the 2024 annual meeting.
“The Board would like to thank Brad and Ned for their leadership, strategic counsel and significant contributions throughout their service as directors. The Board extends best wishes to each of them,” commented John Knox Singleton, Chairman. “This is in keeping with expectations that the size of the board would naturally be reduced over time following the Company’s merger with Healthcare Trust of America, Inc.”
