**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On April 21, 2026 (the "Effective Date"), NHC/OP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of National HealthCare Corporation ("NHC"), on behalf of itself and its affiliates identified in the Agreement, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NHC (collectively, together with the Purchaser, "we," "us," or "our") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with National Health Investors, Inc. ("NHI"), a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, on behalf of itself and its affiliates identified in the Agreement (collectively, together with NHI, the "Seller Parties"), to purchase from the Seller Parties the land, facilities, and improvements, including 32 skilled nursing facilities and three independent living facilities (collectively, the "Property," and with respect to the 35 facilities, the "Facilities"), currently leased by us, as tenant, from the Seller Parties, as landlord, under a Master Agreement to Lease dated October 17, 1991, as amended, and those single Facility leases executed by the parties (collectively, the "Master Lease"). The purchase and sale of the Property and other transactions contemplated by the Agreement are referred to herein as the "Transaction." The Facilities are located in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The purchase price for the Property is $560 million, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Agreement (the "Purchase Price"), payable at the closing of the Transaction. There are no financing contingencies. We expect to finance the Purchase Price in part through a new credit facility.

The Agreement provides that within five business days of the Effective Date, we are required to make a $5 million deposit (the "Initial Deposit"), which will be non-refundable to us (except as otherwise provided in the Agreement) after the expiration of a review period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on May 29, 2026, or such earlier date as we may determine in our sole discretion (the "Review Period"). We have the right to terminate the Agreement for any reason or no reason at any time on or before the expiration of the Review Period by giving written notice to NHI, in which event substantially all of the Initial Deposit will be refunded to us. If the Agreement is not terminated prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then, within seven business days after the expiration of the Review Period, (i) we are required to make an additional $15 million deposit (together with the Initial Deposit, the "Purchaser's Deposits"), which will be non-refundable to us (except as otherwise provided in the Agreement), and (ii) NHI is required to make a $20 million deposit, which will be payable to us as liquidated damages in the event the Agreement is terminated by us under the circumstances described below (such deposit, the "Seller's Liquidated Damages Deposit"). At the closing of the Transaction, the Purchaser's Deposits will be applied to the Purchase Price. The Agreement provides that the Property is being purchased and sold in "as is," "where is" condition except for the limited representations, warranties, and covenants of the Seller Parties specifically provided in the Agreement and the conveyance documents, and that we shall bear the risk of loss or damage to the Facilities and the risk of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings against the Property prior to the closing of the Transaction without any resulting right to any adjustment to the Purchase Price or to terminate the Agreement. The Agreement also contains additional covenants, representations and warranties, indemnifications, and other provisions that are customary for real estate purchase and sale agreements.

The Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for us and the Seller Parties, including the right of us or the Seller Parties, as applicable, to terminate the Agreement prior to the closing of the Transaction in the event (i) of a breach of the other party's representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement, subject to a cure period, or (ii) the other party fails to consummate the closing of the Transaction on the scheduled closing date. The Agreement also provides that (A) if the Agreement is terminated by us due to a breach of the Seller Parties' representations or warranties in the Agreement, we will be entitled to receive as liquidated damages (1) a refund of the Purchaser's Deposits and (2) payment from NHI equal to the amount of third-party out-of-pocket costs incurred by us in connection with the Agreement subject to a specified maximum amount; (B) if the Agreement is terminated by us due to the Seller Parties' failure to timely consummate the closing of the Transaction as provided in the Agreement, we will be entitled to receive as liquidated damages (1) a refund of the Purchaser's Deposits and (2) payment of the Seller's Liquidated Damages Deposit; (C) if the Agreement is terminated by the Seller Parties due to a breach of our representations or warranties in the Agreement, the Seller Parties will be entitled to receive as liquidated damages the Initial Deposit, with the remainder of the Purchaser's Deposits to be returned to us; and (D) if the Agreement is terminated by the Seller Parties due to our failure to timely consummate the closing of the Transaction, the Seller Parties will be entitled to receive as liquidated damages the Purchaser's Deposits.

Under the Master Lease, we currently operate, and intend to continue to operate after the Transaction closes, all of the Facilities other than four skilled nursing facilities located in Florida (the "Florida Facilities"), which are subleased to a third-party operator. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, contemporaneously with the closing of the Transaction, we and the Seller Parties will enter into a Partial Master Lease Termination Agreement and Partial Assignment and Assumption of Master Lease (the "Master Lease Termination Agreement") pursuant to which (i) the Master Lease will be terminated with respect to all of the Facilities other than the Florida Facilities, and (ii) the Seller Parties will assign to a wholly-owned subsidiary of NHC, and such NHC subsidiary will assume, the Master Lease with respect to the Florida Facilities. The form of the Master Lease Termination Agreement is included in the copy of the Agreement filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated by reference herein. Under the Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated or the closing of the Transaction does not occur for any reason, then the Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the termination of the Agreement.

The Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period and any extensions thereof under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. There can be no assurances that the closing conditions will be satisfied or that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeline described herein or at all, or that we will realize the expected benefits of the Transaction in part or at all.

------

As discussed above, we and the Seller Parties' are party to the Master Lease. Additional information about the Master Lease is set forth in NHC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 26, 2026 (the "Annual Report"), and NHC's proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of NHC, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2026 (the "Proxy Statement").

NHC is a stockholder of NHI and, as previously reported, as of December 31, 2025, NHC owned 1,630,642 shares of NHI's common stock, which is approximately 3.4% of the outstanding shares of NHI's common stock based on information available in NHI's public filings. Additional information about NHC's ownership of NHI's common stock is set forth in the Annual Report and the Proxy Statement. In addition, Robert G. Adams, chairman of the board of directors of NHC, also serves on the board of directors of NHI. As previously disclosed by NHI, Mr. Adams is not standing for reelection as a director of NHI at the 2026 annual meeting of NHI's stockholders.

The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Agreement have been made only for the purposes of the Agreement and are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures, may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the Agreement is filed only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties or their respective businesses and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in NHC's periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

**Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02 to the extent such information is responsive to the disclosure requirements of Item 1.02 of Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On April 21, 2026, NHC issued a press release announcing its entry into the Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation by reference language in any such filing, except as NHC expressly sets forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements regarding our intentions, plans, and expectations concerning the Agreement, the Transaction, including its timing, consummation, and potential benefits, the Master Lease, the Master Lease Termination Agreement, and the Property, and any other statements that are not statements of historical fact, including, without limitation, those statements containing words such as "expect," "plan," "intend," "believe," "anticipate," "continue," "may," "will," or the negative version of these words and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. We caution investors that forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: our right to terminate the Agreement for any or no reason during the Review Period; the terms available for a new credit facility to utilize in paying the Purchase Price; the future actions of the Seller Parties, which we do not control; conditions to the closing of the Transaction may not be satisfied; the Transaction may involve unexpected costs, liabilities, or delays; the ability to complete the Transaction within the expected timeframe, or at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Agreement and the loss of the Purchaser's Deposits; liabilities and other claims asserted against us and patient care liabilities, as well as the resolution of current litigation; availability of insurance and assets for indemnification; national and local economic conditions; including their effect on the availability and cost of labor, utilities and materials; the effect of government regulations and changes in regulations governing the healthcare industry, including our compliance with such regulations; changes in Medicare and Medicaid payment levels and methodologies and the application of such methodologies by the government and its fiscal intermediaries, the ability of third parties for whom we have guaranteed debt to refinance certain short-term debt obligations; and other risks and uncertainties described in our reports and other filings with the SEC, including the Annual Report. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Landlord, Landlord Parties, Tenant and Tenant Parties are each referred to herein as a "**Party**", and collectively, as the "**Parties**".

<u>Recitals</u>

**WHEREAS**, Landlord and/or the Landlord Parties identified in <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto and incorporated herein with respect to the Facilities (as defined herein) own certain parcels of land in the counties and states identified on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto and incorporated herein (the "**Land**"), upon which Land are located those certain improvements, fixtures and building(s) operated as skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and/or independent living facilities (each such facility is referred to herein as a "**Facility**"; and collectively, such facilities are referred to herein as the "**Facilities**").

**WHEREAS**, as of the Effective Date, Landlord, as lessor, leases to Tenant, as lessee, each of the Facilities (a) pursuant to that certain Master Agreement to Lease, dated October 17, 1991, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated June 2, 1993, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated January 15, 1996, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 3 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated July 22, 1997, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 4 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated December 31, 1997, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 5 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated December 27, 2005, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 6 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated December 26, 2012, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 7 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated August 28, 2013, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 8 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated October 30, 2020, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 9 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated March 29, 2021, and as amended by that certain Amendment No. 10 to Master Agreement to Lease, dated September 1, 2022, and (b) those short-form single Facility leases executed by the Parties on a Facility by Facility basis, which set forth a description of the Land and the Facilities and other limited terms (collectively, the "**Master Lease**").

**WHEREAS**, the Facilities located in Florida and identified as Facility Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto and the Land owned by Landlord with respect to such Facility Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are hereinafter referred to as the "**Florida Facilities**".

**WHEREAS**, Tenant, Tenant Parties, Landlord and Landlord Parties are parties to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April __, 2026, as amended (the "**Transaction Agreement**"), pursuant to which Landlord shall sell to Tenant and Tenant shall purchase from Landlord the Land and the Facilities in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement. In connection with the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, Tenant, Tenant Parties, Landlord and Landlord Parties are executing and delivering the Conveyance Documents (as defined in the Transaction Agreement).

------

**WHEREAS**, simultaneously with the closing of the purchase and sale of the Land and the Facilities pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Tenant, Tenant Parties, Landlord and Landlord Parties desire to, effective as of the Effective Date (a) terminate the Master Lease as to all Land and all Facilities except for the Florida Facilities (which Florida Facilities will remain subject to the Master Lease) (all Facilities, excluding the Florida Facilities, are hereinafter referred to as the "**Terminated Facilities**"), and (b) assign the Master Lease as to the Florida Facilities only from Landlord, as assignor, to National Health Realty, LLC (the "**Florida Assignee**")<sup>5</sup>, as assignee, and memorialize the terms and conditions on which such partial termination and partial assignment of the Master Lease will occur.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals which are incorporated herein and the foregoing premises and the covenants of the Parties set forth herein, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. **<u>Partial Termination</u>**. The Master Lease is hereby terminated as of the Effective Date as to the Terminated Facilities only, and, from and after the Effective Date, Tenant shall have no further right, title or interest in and to the Terminated Facilities pursuant to the Master Lease or to any deposits, reserves, or other amounts required to be paid by Tenant under the Master Lease as to the Terminated Facilities. From and after the Effective Date, other than the Surviving Obligations as to the Terminated Facilities (as defined herein), Landlord, Landlord Parties, Tenant and Tenant Parties shall have no further obligations to each other under the Master Lease with respect to the Terminated Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord, Landlord Parties, Tenant and Tenant Parties agree that (a) the Master Lease is not terminated as to the Florida Facilities, and (b) any rights of first offer or first refusal to purchase or lease any property granted in the Master Lease as to any Facility or all Facilities and any rights of first offer or refusal to develop or manage any property or facility granted in the Master Lease shall not survive the Effective Date of the partial termination of the Master Lease.

2. **<u>Surviving Obligations</u>**. Landlord, Landlord Parties, Tenant and Tenant Parties acknowledge and agree that the following obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the Master Lease with respect to the Terminated Facilities shall survive the termination of the Master Lease with respect to the Terminated Facilities as of the Effective Date (collectively, the "**Surviving Obligations as to the Terminated Facilities**"):

(a) Any obligations of Landlord, any Landlord Party, Tenant and any Tenant Party under the Master Lease with respect to the Terminated Facilities which expressly survive the termination of the Master Lease pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease; and

(b) Tenant's obligation to deliver to Landlord for the Termination Partial Calendar Year (as defined herein) Tenant's Certification (as defined in Section 2.06.02 of the Master Lease) of the Gross Revenues (as defined in Section 2.06.01 of the Master Lease) together with a certificate from the Tenant's nationally reputable accounting firm which shall state, that in accordance with certain agreed upon procedures, such firm has agreed Tenant's Gross Revenues for each of the Facilities (inclusive of the Florida Facilities) as set forth in Tenant's Certification to the Company's general ledger as of June 30, 2026. Such accounting firm will also agree Gross Revenue by entity (inclusive of the Facilities set forth in Tenant's certification exclusive of the Florida facilities) to the June 30, 2026 Form 10-Q. Any differences identified during these procedures will be documented in the written report of Tenant's nationally reputable accounting firm (the "**Accounting Firm**'**s Agreed Upon Procedures Report**") that will accompany Tenant's Certification. Landlord and Tenant agree that (i) as of the Effective Date, Tenant has paid to Landlord estimated Percentage Rent in the amount of $4,061,823.12 ("**Estimated Payment Amount**") for the partial calendar year (commencing January 1, 2026 and ending on June 30, 2026) (the "**Termination Partial Calendar Year**"), (ii) Tenant shall be obligated to deliver to Landlord the Tenant's Certification and the Accounting Firm's Agreed Upon Procedures Report for the period covered by the Termination Partial Calendar Year on or before August 31, 2026, which shall include a reconciliation of the Percentage Rent actually payable by Tenant to Landlord for the Termination Partial Calendar Year, (iii) in the event Tenant's Estimated Payment Amount is greater than the amount of actual Percentage Rent Tenant should have paid, then Landlord shall refund such overpayment to Tenant within 30-days following the date Landlord receives the later of Tenant's Certification and the Accounting Firm's Agreed Upon Procedures Report, (iv) in the event Tenant's Estimated Payment Amount is less than the amount of actual Percentage Rent Tenant should have paid, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord such underpayment within 30-days following the date Landlord receives the later of Tenant's Certification and the Accounting Firm's Agreed Upon Procedures Report, and (v) the third party accounting firm of Tenant is satisfactory to Landlord to provide the Accounting Firm's Agreed Upon Procedures Report, and (vi) Tenant's Certification may be given by National Healthcare Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord, Landlord Parties, Tenant and Tenant Parties acknowledge and agree that the accounting for and reconciliation of the Gross Revenues and Percentage Rent under this paragraph as to the Termination Partial Calendar Year shall be an accounting and reconciliation of such Gross Revenues and Percentage Rent for all Facilities (inclusive of the Florida Facilities).

**NHC TO ACQUIRE THIRTY-FIVE NHI FACILITIES**

MURFREESBORO, TN. (April 21, 2026) –National Healthcare Corporation (NYSE American: NHC), a national leader in senior care, announced entry into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire the real estate of thirty-two skilled nursing facilities and three independent living facilities from National Health Investors, Inc. and its affiliates ("NHI"). The purchase price is $560 million. NHC, through affiliates, has been leasing and operating the facilities under a Master Agreement to Lease with NHI.

"The acquisition of this real estate will be a milestone in our operational strategy, providing the Company with maximum flexibility to execute our long-term vision.

We are pleased to have reached agreement with NHI on the purchase and sale of these facilities and look forward to being able to continue to provide our patients with exceptional care in these locations," Mr. Flatt continued.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.
