Medical Properties Trust, Inc. was incorporated under Maryland law on August 27, 2004. The Company has operated as a REIT since April 6, 2004. The Company is a self-advised real estate investment trust or REIT that acquires, develops, leases and makes other investments in healthcare facilities providing state-of-the-art healthcare services. It leases its facilities to healthcare operators pursuant to long-term net leases, which require the tenant to bear costs associated with the property. In addition, it makes long-term, interest-only mortgage loans to healthcare operators, and from time to time, the Company also makes working capital and acquisition loans to its tenants. Medical Properties Trust conducts all of its business through its subsidiaries, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P., and MPT Development Services, Inc. As of February 18, 2013, its portfolio consists of 82 properties: 69 facilities (of the 74 facilities that it owns) are leased to 23 tenants, five are under development, and the remainder is in the form of mortgage loans to three operators. Its owned facilities consist of 27 general acute care hospitals, 24 long-term acute care hospitals, 15 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, two medical office buildings, and six wellness centers. The non-owned facilities on which the company has made mortgage loans consist of general acute care facilities. The leases for the Company's facilities are 'net' leases with terms requiring the tenant to pay all ongoing operating and maintenance expenses of the facility, including property, casualty, general liability and other insurance coverages, utilities and other charges incurred in the operation of the facilities, as well as real estate taxes, ground lease rent and the costs of capital expenditures, repairs and maintenance. At December 31, 2012, the company had leases with 22 hospital operating companies, eight mortgaged loans, six under development, and one property under re-development covering 82 facilities. The Company's tenants and borrowers operate in the healthcare industry, generally providing medical, surgical and rehabilitative care to patients. Medical Properties Trust competes in acquiring and developing facilities with financial institutions, other lenders, real estate developers, other REITs, other public and private real estate companies and private real estate investors. Certain healthcare facilities in the Company's portfolio are subject to extensive federal, state and local licensure, certification and inspection laws and regulations.
