PART III – NARRATIVE

In accordance with a position of the staff of the Division of Corporate Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), Quality Care Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is required to include as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 10-K") the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 (the "Required Financial Statements") of HCR ManorCare, Inc. ("HCRMC"). As of the date hereof, HCRMC has not provided the Company with such Required Financial Statements, and as a result, the Company is unable to include the Required Financial Statements in the 2016 10-K filed today with the SEC. In addition, because HCRMC has not provided the Required Financial Statements, the Company has not had an opportunity to evaluate the information included therein for its impact on the Company's required disclosures in the 2016 10-K. The Company informed HCRMC on multiple occasions during the past several weeks of the due date for the Company's 2016 10-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HCRMC has not delivered the Required Financial Statements and has informed the Company that the financials are not yet prepared, without any further explanation. Subject to the receipt of the Required Financial Statements reasonably in advance of the fifteenth calendar day following March 31, 2017, the Company expects to file an amendment to its 2016 10-K on or prior to the fifteenth calendar day following March 31, 2017 to include the Required Financial Statements and related auditor consent and to otherwise update the previously filed 2016 10-K solely as a result of the receipt of the Required Financial Statements. Pursuant to the Company's Master Lease with HCRMC, HCRMC is required to provide the Company with the Required Financial Statements within 120 days after the end of HCRMC's fiscal year.

In addition, due to the omission of the Required Financial Statements from the 2016 10-K, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer are unable to provide the certification required by Item 601(b)(32) of Regulation S-K with the 2016 10-K.
