**CO-FOUNDER EMMETT E. MCLEAN TO RETIRE AS MEDICAL PROPERTIES TRUST EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND SECRETARY** 

**Birmingham, AL – February 23, 2023 –** Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the "Company" or "MPT") (NYSE: MPW) today announced that Emmett E. McLean, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary, will retire from the Company effective September 1, 2023, after more than 20 years of service.

He has also been instrumental in MPT's employee recruitment and retention programs including the introduction of various employee benefit programs. McLean has served as chair of the Company's Charity Committee since its inception.

"Emmett brought a wealth of experience to MPT from his career in the health care services industry where he served in senior financial positions and we have all benefited from his expertise," said Edward K. Aldag, Jr., MPT's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Beyond his organizational and management skills, Emmett is a great man with a servant's heart. He delights in giving back to his community and his contributions to Birmingham and its surrounding areas are immeasurable."

McLean is currently a member of the boards of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama, Smile-A-Mile, Greater Alabama Council - Boy Scouts of America, UAB Athletics Foundation, United Way of Central Alabama, UAB Arts, Mike Slive Foundation, Rotary Club of Birmingham Foundation, and The World Games 2022 Birmingham.
