Explanatory Note

     This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     At the Annual Meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on May 17, 2011, a majority of the shareholders selected, on a non-binding advisory basis, a one-year frequency for non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation. Based on these results, the Company’s Board of Directors determined at its meeting held on August 2, 2011 that the Company will hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation on an annual basis (once every year) until the next shareholder vote on the frequency of the vote on executive compensation. Accordingly, the next shareholder vote on executive compensation will occur at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in 2012.
