OUR COMPANY
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, which owns independent and assisted living properties, continuing care retirement
communities, nursing homes, hospitals, wellness centers, and office buildings leased to medical providers or medical related
businesses, clinics and biotech laboratory tenants, or MOBs, located throughout the U.S. As of December 2, 2011, we owned 361
properties located in 37 states and Washington, D.C. with a book value of $4.3 billion before accumulated depreciation. Ninety-four
percent (94%) of our rents come from properties where a majority of the charges are paid from private resources.
Our principal place of business is Two Newton Place, 255 Washington Street, Suite 300, Newton, Massachusetts 02458 and our
telephone number is (617) 796-8350.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Since the announcement of our 2011 third quarter results on October 27, 2011, we have entered into an agreement to acquire one
senior living community with 92 living units located in Alabama for $11.3 million, excluding closing costs. We expect to fund this
acquisition using cash on hand (which may include a portion of the net proceeds of this offering) and borrowings under our revolving
credit facility. Our purchase of this property is subject to various conditions, including satisfactory completion of due diligence and
regulatory approvals. We currently expect to complete this purchase during the first quarter of 2012, but we can provide no assurance
that we will purchase this property.
Also since October 27, 2011, we have completed the previously reported purchases of one senior living community with 57 living
units located in California and three MOBs with approximately 138,606 square feet located in Virginia and Indiana for an aggregate
purchase price of $43.7 million, excluding closing costs. We funded these acquisitions using cash on hand, borrowings under our
revolving credit facility and by assuming approximately $9.7 million of mortgage debt.
As previously reported in September 2011, we have agreed to purchase nine large senior living rental communities for
$478.0 million, including $164.0 million of assumed mortgage debt on certain communities and excluding closing costs. These
communities are currently operated by Vi® as Classic Residence, and were formerly known as Classic Residence by Hyatt®. The
nine communities include 2,226 living units and are located in six states. In the next several days, we expect to close the acquisition
of eight of these communities for approximately $379.0 million, including $132.0 million of assumed mortgage debt and excluding
costs. We expect the purchase of the one remaining community in New York to be delayed into 2012 because of required regulatory
and other third party approvals, including obtaining healthcare licensing approval from the state of New York. We currently expect to
fund these purchases using cash on hand (which may include a portion of the net proceeds of this offering), borrowings under our
revolving credit facility and by assuming approximately $164.0 million of mortgage debt. Because of various closing conditions, we
can provide no assurance that we will purchase any of these properties.

THE OFFERING
Issuer
Senior Housing Properties Trust.
Securities offered
$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior
notes due 2021.
Maturity
December 15, 2021.
Interest rate
6.75% per annum.
Interest payment dates
Semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year,
commencing June 15, 2012.
Ranking
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and will rank
equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior
indebtedness.

The notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and
future indebtedness of our subsidiaries, including guarantees
by our subsidiaries of borrowings under our revolving credit
facility. The notes will also be effectively subordinated to our
existing and future secured indebtedness.
Optional redemption
We may redeem the notes at any time at our option in whole or
in part. The redemption price will equal the outstanding
principal of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest and the Make-Whole Amount (as defined herein), if
any. If the notes are redeemed on or after June 15, 2021
(six months prior to the stated maturity of the notes), the
redemption price will not include a Make-Whole Amount. See
"Description of the notes--Optional Redemption of the Notes".
Certain covenants
The notes indenture contains various covenants, including the
following:

· We will not be able to incur additional Debt if the
aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Debt is
greater than 60% of Adjusted Total Assets.

· We will not be able to incur additional Debt if the
aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Secured
Debt is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

· We will not be able to incur additional Debt unless our
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service is at
least 1.5 times our Annual Debt Service.

· We will maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of at least
1.5 times our Unsecured Debt.

These covenants are complex and are described in more detail
at "Description of notes--Certain Covenants".
Sinking fund
The notes are not entitled to any sinking fund payments.

Table of Contents
Form and denomination
The notes will be initially issued in book-entry form only.
Notes issued in book-entry form will be evidenced by one or
more fully registered global securities deposited with or on
behalf of The Depository Trust Company and registered in the
name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee.
Interests in the global securities will be shown on, and
transfers thereof will be effected only through, records
maintained by The Depository Trust Company (with respect to
its participants) and its participants (with respect to beneficial
owners). Except in limited circumstances, notes issued in
book-entry form will not be exchangeable for notes issued in
registered certificated form.
Trustee, registrar and paying agent
U.S. Bank National Association.
Use of proceeds
We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering will be
approximately $292.3 million. We intend to apply our net
proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under our
revolving credit facility and the remainder for general business
purposes, which may include funding possible future
acquisitions of properties or the repayment of all or a portion
of our outstanding 85/8% senior notes due January 15, 2012.
See "Use of proceeds" in this prospectus supplement.
Conflicts of interest
As described in "Use of proceeds," some of the net proceeds
of this offering will be used to repay borrowings under our
revolving credit facility. Because affiliates of one or more of
the underwriters, including UBS Securities LLC, Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, RBC Capital
Markets, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, are lenders
under our revolving credit facility, it is possible that more than
5% of the proceeds of this offering (not including the
underwriting discount) may be received by the underwriters or
their affiliates.

Nonetheless, in accordance with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified
independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with
this offering because we, the issuer of the notes in this offering,
are a REIT.
