Healthcare Trust and American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust III, two publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trusts sponsored by AR Capital, announced that Thomas D’Arcy stepped down as chief executive officer, president and secretary of both companies. He also resigned from his roles as chief executive officer, president and secretary of the advisor and property manager of each REIT.

The boards of directors of both REITs appointed W. Todd Jensen, currently the executive vice president and chief investment officer of the companies, to serve as president. He will also serve as president of the advisor and property manager of the REITs.

Jensen resigned from his roles as executive vice president and chief investment officer. He also resigned from his role as executive vice president of the advisor and property manager of the REITs, but will continue to serve in his capacity as chief investment officer of each company’s advisor.

In conjunction with the D’Arcy departure, Edward Lange, Jr. stepped down as chief financial officer, chief operating officer and treasurer of Healthcare Trust and American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust III.
