Community Healthcare Trust Inc 8-K

What Happened On January 5, 2026, Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated's Board of Directors approved and adopted the Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Alignment of Interest Program (the "Second Amendment"), at the recommendation of the compensation committee. The Second Amendment reserves an additional 500,000 restricted shares of the company’s common stock (par value $0.01) in the Program Pool for issuance to employees, officers and directors in lieu of cash compensation. The Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K.

Key Details

• Board approval date: January 5, 2026.
• Additional shares reserved: 500,000 restricted shares of common stock (par value $0.01).
• Purpose: For issuance to employees, officers and directors in lieu of cash compensation.
• Filing: Second Amendment included as Exhibit 10.1 to the 8-K.

Why It Matters This amendment gives the company flexibility to pay some compensation with restricted stock instead of cash, which can conserve cash and further align employees' and directors' interests with shareholders. It also creates potential future dilution because up to 500,000 shares are now available to be issued; however, the amendment itself does not report any immediate issuances or the timing or terms of grants. Investors should watch future disclosures for actual grants or increases in outstanding share count.
