MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Physicians Realty Trust DOC (the "Company") announced today that the Company's Board of Trustees has authorized and the Company has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per common share for the quarter ending December 31, 2016.

"Today we announce the 14th consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by Physicians Realty Trust. We have had a record year of growth, and have transformed our company in many ways for the benefit of our shareholders, while also enhancing the level of service provided to our tenants. We continue to enjoy what we believe to be industry leading occupancy with the highest quality physicians and health systems. As we head in to a new year, we remain well positioned with our balance sheet, provider relationships, and operating platform to continue our high growth in response to the needs of a U.S. healthcare economy that is expected to grow by roughly 6% per year over the next decade. We believe our ability to work cooperatively with physicians and health systems, as they strive to meet that demand, will serve them and our shareholders well for years to come. We look forward to discussing our fourth quarter 2016 results in February," said John T. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The dividend will be payable on January 18, 2017, to common shareholders and unit holders of record on January 5, 2017.
