Formerly known as Global Medical REIT, the company was incorporated on March 18, 2011, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2016. In February 2026, celebrating its tenth year as a public company, it rebranded as Chiron Real Estate Inc., adopting a new identity that reflects its focus on critical healthcare infrastructure. The company's strategy is to acquire specialized healthcare properties—such as medical office buildings, ambulatory surgery centers, and other facilities designed for medical purposes—and lease them to healthcare providers, including medical systems and physician practices. This net-lease model provides stable, long-term rental income, with tenants responsible for property operating costs. As of the latest data, Chiron had 26 full-time employees, a relatively lean team typical for a REIT, and operates with a market capitalization of approximately $477 million. The company's financial metrics indicate a dividend yield of about 7.1% and a price-to-earnings ratio of 9.69, reflecting its income-oriented investment profile. In 2026, Chiron announced a strategic pivot toward senior housing, including a $425 million acquisition and a $100 million investment, aiming to capitalize on the growing demand for senior living facilities. The company is led by CEO Mark Decker Jr., who assumed the role in June 2025, and its leadership team includes a Chief Investment Officer and other key executives. With a portfolio focused on essential healthcare infrastructure, Chiron aims to deliver long-term value at the intersection of care, capital, and real estate, positioning itself for growth in the evolving healthcare sector.

Mark Decker: Thank you, Jamie, and good morning, everyone. I feel like a kid in a candy store this morning sitting around the table with all this talent, and I'm even more excited that we share the same simple vision to deliver value at the intersection of care, capital and real estate. I want to start by welcoming Tami Cumings, Aaron Roseth, Matthew Whitlock and Bobby Zeiller. And I'd like to thank Bob, Danica, Jamie and the rest of our team for a tremendously productive 5 months. I also want to recognize and thank Alfonzo Leon, who stepped down earlier this week as Chief Investment Officer. When we laid out our priorities earlier this year, we said we would focus on active capital allocation, portfolio repositioning and building the capabilities necessary to support our next phase of growth. Over the last several months, we've made meaningful progress on each of these objectives.
