To Our Clients:

        Enclosed for your consideration are a prospectus, dated January 22, 2002, relating to an offering by Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc., a Maryland corporation, of rights to purchase additional shares of common stock at a subscription price of $2.92 per share, pursuant to rights initially distributed to holders of record of shares of common stock as of the close of business on January 22, 2002. One right was initially distributed to eligible stockholders for every 2.15 shares of common stock held of record on the record date.

        As described in the enclosed prospectus, you will receive one right for every 2.15 shares of common stock held by us in your account as of the record date. No fractional rights will be granted; if a fractional right would be calculated for you as a result of the ratio described above, the number of rights granted to you was rounded up to the nearest whole right. You are entitled to subscribe for and purchase one additional share of common stock for each right granted to you at the subscription price.

        The rights may not be sold, traded or otherwise transferred by you to another person, even by gift. In addition, the exercise of rights is irrevocable, which means that you cannot later change your mind even if you later learn information about Omega that you consider to be unfavorable.

        The rights offering is subject to a number of conditions, as described in the prospectus. Pending satisfaction of the conditions and expiration of the subscription period, subscription and related payments will be held in escrow. If the conditions are not satisfied on or before expiration of the subscription period, Omega will terminate the rights offering and any amounts held in escrow will be returned to you, without interest.

        THE MATERIALS ENCLOSED ARE BEING FORWARDED TO YOU AS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK CARRIED BY US IN YOUR ACCOUNT BUT NOT REGISTERED IN YOUR NAME. EXERCISES OF THE RIGHTS MAY BE MADE ONLY BY US AS THE RECORD OWNERS AND PURSUANT TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

        Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish to elect to subscribe for any shares of common stock to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the enclosed prospectus. We urge you to read these documents carefully before instructing us as to whether or not to exercise your rights.

        Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in order to permit us to exercise rights on your behalf in accordance with the provisions of the rights offering described in the prospectus. The rights offering will expire on February 14, 2002, at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, unless the rights offering is extended by Omega.

        If you wish to have us, on your behalf, exercise rights, please so instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the instruction form on the reverse side of this letter along with proper payment for the number of shares of common stock for which you are exercising your rights.
