As part of the deal, it was announced that the combined dividends will be 10% higher than VTR’s pre-spinoff dividends. Ventas and Care Capital Properties have kept their promise and declared quarterly dividends of $0.73 for Ventas and $0.57 for Care Capital.
The annualized dividend for Ventas pre-split was $3.16. Post-spin off, the annual dividends are $2.92 for VTR and $2.28 for CCP.
