IRVINE, Calif., March 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HCP, Inc. (NYSE:HCP) today announced that Timothy Schoen, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is leaving HCP to become President of BioMed Realty, a real estate company serving the life science industry that was recently acquired by real estate funds managed by Blackstone for approximately $8 billion.  Mr. Schoen will remain in his current role at HCP through May 22 to oversee reporting of first quarter earnings and to ensure a smooth transition of his duties.

"It is difficult to leave a great company for which I feel privileged to have worked for the past 10 years," said Mr. Schoen.  "I am very proud of our accomplishments, and I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to work closely with our executive management and many dedicated colleagues at HCP, including our outstanding finance, accounting and tax team.  I am confident that HCP will attract a well-qualified successor and will continue to achieve great success in the future."

"On behalf of the entire Company and Board of Directors, we thank Tim for his significant contributions to HCP," said Lauralee Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Personally, I thank Tim for being a true partner and a valued and effective member of our leadership team.  His contributions have strengthened our organization and positioned us well for the future.  We wish Tim only success in his new role and are proud of the market recognition of the superb professional talent at HCP."
