**The Reporting Person beneficially owns 553,850 shares of common stock and
1,048,420 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which Series C shares
are convertible into 16,774,720 shares of common stock of Omega. Based on the
number of shares of common stock of Omega reported to be outstanding as of
October 26, 2001, all such shares would represent 47.0% of Omega's outstanding
shares of common stock as of October 26, 2001, after giving effect to such
issuance. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement described in Items 3 and 4 of
Amendment No. 3 to this Schedule 13D/A, Explorer Holdings, L.P. has agreed to
purchase additional shares of stock of Omega in an amount equal to the
difference between $50 million and the gross proceeds received by Omega from the
sale of common stock in a rights offering that Omega has agreed to commence
promptly after the date hereof. If the stockholders of Omega approve the
issuance of common stock to Explorer prior to the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Investment Agreement, Explorer will purchase shares of
common stock; otherwise, the purchased shares will consist of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock having the terms described in Item 3 of Amendment
No. 3 to this Schedule 13D/A. The purchase price for the shares to be acquired
by Explorer (or the per common share conversion price, if the purchased shares
are Series D Preferred) will be the same price as the subscription price offered
to Omega's stockholders in the rights offering, not to exceed $2.92 per share.
Because the number of shares to be acquired by Explorer will depend upon the
number of shares subscribed for in the rights offering, it is not possible to
determine at this time the number of shares that will be acquired by Explorer
pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

This amendment amends and supplements the information set forth in the
Statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 25, 2000, as amended on April 19, 2001,
September 20, 2001 and October 29, 2001 (as amended, the "STATEMENt") by the
Reporting Persons.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This amendment relates to the common stock, par value $0.10 (the "COMMON
STOCK"), of Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (the "COMPANY") and the Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, of the Company (the "SERIES C
PREFERRED").

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following at the end thereof:

The Reporting Persons have purchased 553,850 shares of Common Stock in
seven separate transactions. The source of funds for the Reporting Persons'
purchase of the 553,850 shares was the Reporting Persons' working capital, which
was derived from capital contributions from its partners.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5(a) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(a) Each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 17,328,570 shares of
Common Stock, an amount which includes 16,774,720 shares of Common Stock owned
by virtue of Explorer's ownership of 1,048,420 shares of Series C Preferred.
Based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of
October 26, 2001, such shares would represent 47.0% of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock as of October 26, 2001, after giving effect to such
issuance. The number of Shares that Explorer will purchase upon the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement will depend upon the
price of the shares offered in the rights offering and the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased by the Company's stockholders pursuant to the rights
offering. Explorer will beneficially own such Shares directly and each of the
other Reporting Persons will beneficially own such Shares indirectly through the
relationships described in the Statement. Messrs. McNamara and Decker disclaim
beneficial ownership of all shares held by Explorer.

Item 5(c) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(c) Each of the Reporting Persons has engaged in the following
transactions on the New York Stock Exchange since the date of the last amendment
to this Schedule 13D:
