During Welltower's Q3 2025 earnings call on October 28, 2025, CEO Shankh Mitra discussed the company's new incentive plan, which he said was designed to align management with shareholders and extend the duration of outperformance. Mitra stated that the board spent "hundreds and hundreds of hours" with consultants and law firms to develop the plan, which he described as aligning with five tenets: simple, significant, earned as a team, duration matched, and non-gameable. He noted that the first three operators mentioned are the "founding class" of the program, but said the company may consider bringing in other operating partners in the future. Mitra also addressed questions about the company's announced investments, declining to disclose initial blended yields on the $14 billion in activity, stating that the company "never really disclose yield until the transactions closed." He characterized the activity as "not that dissimilar to our activity in the last couple years."
