Explanatory Note

Deregistration of Unsold Securities

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-3 amends the Registration Statement on Form S-11, Registration No. 333-132029 (the "Original Registration Statement"), of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (the "Company"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on February 24, 2006 and became effective on March 14, 2006, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, which was filed with the Commission on March 13, 2007 and became effective on March 15, 2007.  The Original Registration Statement registered 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"), for sale pursuant to the Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan.

On December 21, 2007, the Company filed a Registration Statement with the Commission on Form S-3 registering 3,326,649 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan. Consequently, the offering pursuant to the Original Registration Statement has been terminated.  In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Original Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration the 326,649 shares of Common Stock registered, but unsold, under the Original Registration Statement.
