Additional Information

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the proposed acquisition of Aviv REIT, Inc., on January 5, 2015, Omega filed a registration statement on Form S-4, as amended with the SEC, which includes the preliminary joint proxy statement of Omega and Aviv and which also constitutes a preliminary prospectus of Omega. The information in the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of Omega and Aviv after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of the registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed by Omega and Aviv, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). Those documents, as well as Omega’s other public filings with the SEC, may be obtained without charge at Omega’s website at www.omegahealthcare.com. In addition, copies of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as Aviv’s other public filings with the SEC, may be obtained without charge at Aviv’s website at www.avivreit.com.
 
 
Omega, Aviv, their respective directors and executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the proposed transaction. Information regarding Omega’s directors and executive officers is available in its proxy statement for its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the SEC by Omega on April 29, 2014, and information regarding Aviv’s directors and executive officers is available in its proxy statement for its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the SEC by Aviv on April 15, 2014. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, are contained in the registration statement and the joint proxy statement/prospectus (or will be contained in any amendments or supplements thereto and in other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC, when they become available). These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
