Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) has appointed Mark Decker as its new Chief Executive Officer and President, effective immediately. Decker succeeds Jeffrey Busch, who will continue to serve as non-executive Chairman. Decker's appointment is part of the company's efforts to maximize shareholder value and bring a fresh strategic perspective to guide portfolio management and growth initiatives.

Decker joins from Proterra Investment Partners, where he founded and co-led their net lease real estate investment strategy. His appointment comes as Global Medical REIT prepares to navigate its 2025 financials and portfolio management. The company recently reported its Q1 2025 earnings, outlining its AFFO guidance and CEO transition [1].

Meanwhile, Ionik Corporation (INIKF) has secured a formal waiver from its senior lenders regarding a technical breach of a financial covenant under its syndicated debt facility. The waiver, received on June 20, 2025, prevents lenders from accelerating debt payment due to the breach. However, the outstanding debt will remain classified as a current liability through 2025 due to its May 25, 2026 maturity date [2].

These developments highlight the evolving landscape of medical REITs and their strategic leadership transitions. As Global Medical REIT and Ionik continue to navigate their respective financial landscapes, investors will be closely watching their growth initiatives and portfolio management strategies.
