Chief executive officer

Mr. Mitchell has been appointed as permanent CEO of the REIT, effective today.

Mr. Mitchell was previously appointed the REIT's interim CEO on Aug. 8, 2023, and has held several senior leadership positions with the organization since 2018, including president of the Northwest Group and CEO of Australia and New Zealand.

Prior to Mr. Mitchell's appointment as interim CEO of the REIT, he was responsible for Northwest's global funds management, providing strategic direction as part of the REIT's global leadership team, and led overall accountability for the Australian and New Zealand region.

Mr. Mitchell has more than 20 years of experience specializing in the property industry in Australia, including his previous roles as executive director and chief operating officer of Dexus, an Australian Securities Exchange top 50 listed REIT. Mr. Mitchell has a master of business administration (executive) from the Australian Graduate School of Management, a bachelor of commerce and is a fellow of CPA Australia. He has also completed the advanced management program at Harvard University, Boston.

The decision to appoint Mr. Mitchell was made by the board of trustees of the REIT, following a process conducted by the board's compensation, governance and nominating committee (the CG&N), which included an evaluation of Mr. Mitchell's performance as interim CEO, and the receipt of the recommendation of the CG&N to the board.

"We are extremely pleased to officially introduce Craig as our chief executive officer," said Dale Klein, non-executive chair of the board. "Craig is the perfect fit for the role, given his deep understanding of the company, our talented teams and Northwest's position as a leader in our health care real estate markets. Since he was appointed interim CEO in August, 2023, Craig's steadfast leadership has stabilized our organization through taking several important steps towards strengthening our balance sheet and fostering strong relationships with many stakeholders. Craig has over 20 years of expertise across all of Northwest's global health care real estate markets, including prior experience as chief executive officer and chief financial officer roles in Australia and New Zealand, two of Northwest's largest and most dynamic health care markets. I am confident that Craig will do a tremendous job leading the REIT's executive functions, and we look forward to continued progress under his strong leadership."

Interim chief financial officer

The REIT today also announces the appointment of Karen Martin as interim chief financial officer effective Oct. 30, 2023.

Ms. Martin brings a wealth of financial expertise and a strong record of success to the organization, making her the ideal candidate to support the REIT through its current strategic review period.

Ms. Martin's extensive experience in previous financial leadership roles includes serving as executive vice-president and treasurer at Element Fleet Management Corp. (formerly Element Financial Corp.), one of the world's largest publicly traded fleet management companies. During her tenure at Element, she played a pivotal role in engineering and implementing complex debt and capital structures and also led initiatives in balance sheet management, financing strategy, treasury operations and acquisition financing.

Ms. Martin holds her CPA, CFA and ICD.D designations, and she serves on the boards and advisory boards of various organizations, including ECN Capital Corp. (member of the audit committee), and Propel Holdings (chair of the audit committee).

"We are pleased to welcome Karen to Northwest as our interim CFO," said Craig Mitchell, Northwest's chief executive officer. "Karen brings a wealth of financial expertise and a fresh perspective to our team, and we look forward to her contributions during this important strategic review period. Her extensive background in the lending sector, financial management and risk mitigation makes her an invaluable addition to Northwest."

Northwest would like to extend its gratitude to Shailen Chande, the outgoing CFO, for his contributions to the REIT during his tenure.
