Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Business Description
Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Corporation focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Corporation leases industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At March 31, 2021, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of 661 individual commercial properties with 660 properties located in 41 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada.
Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the Corporation’s operating company, or the “OP”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member of the OP. The remaining membership units in the OP (“OP Units”), which are referred to as non-controlling interests, are held by members who were issued OP Units pursuant to the Internalization (defined below) or in exchange for their interests in properties acquired by the OP. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as what is referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Prior to February 7, 2020, the Corporation was externally managed by Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) subject to the direction, oversight, and approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The Asset Manager was a wholly owned subsidiary of BRE and all of the Corporation’s officers were employees of BRE. Accordingly, both BRE and the Asset Manager were related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion concerning related parties and related party transactions.
On February 7, 2020, the Corporation, the OP, BRE, and certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, completed through a series of mergers (the “Mergers”) the internalization of the external management functions previously performed for the Corporation and the OP by BRE and the Asset Manager (such transactions, collectively, the “Internalization”). Upon consummation of the Internalization, the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP and the Company became internally managed. Upon Internalization, the prior Property Management Agreement and Asset Management Agreement were terminated. The Internalization was not considered a “Termination Event” under the terms of the agreements and therefore no fees were paid under them as a result of the Internalization.
On September 18, 2020, the Corporation effected a four-for-one stock split on its then outstanding 26,944 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) that previously had a $0.001 par value. Concurrent with the stock split, the OP effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding OP Units. No fractional shares or OP Units were issued as a result of the stock split. All historic share and per share amounts in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split.
On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued an aggregate of 37,000 shares of a new class of common stock, $0.00025 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”) at $17.00 per share, which includes shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-240381), as amended, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Shares of Class A Common Stock were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “BNL.” On March 20, 2021, each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the symbol “BNL.” See Note 13.
The following table summarizes the outstanding equity and economic ownership interest of the Corporation and the OP:
Refer to Note 15 for further discussion regarding the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Information
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Corporation has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model, the Corporation evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model. The Corporation has complete responsibility for the day-to-day management of, authority to make decisions for, and control of the OP. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the OP is a VIE as the members in the OP do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the OP. However, because the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the OP and certain other conditions are met, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.
The portion of the OP not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.
Basis of Accounting
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets and goodwill, the provision for impairment, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the provisions for uncollectible rent and credit losses, the fair value of the earnout liability, the fair value of assumed debt, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill, to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. A significant judgment is made as to if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment as of March 31, 2021 was based on the most current information available to the Company. Based upon current market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of the Company’s properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on the Company’s plans with respect to each of those properties, the Company believes that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, under applicable GAAP guidance, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges associated with one property in each respective period. Impairment indicators primarily included changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties.
6
Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market conditions, as derived through the use of published commercial real estate market information. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2,012 and $2,133, respectively.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, and lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is reported within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Earnout Liability – In connection with the Internalization, the Company recognized an earnout liability that will be due and payable to the former owners of BRE if certain milestones are achieved during specified periods of time following the closing of the Internalization (the “Earnout Periods”). Under the terms of the agreement, the milestones related to either (a) the 40-day dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock (“VWAP per REIT Share”), following the completion of an IPO of the Company’s common stock, or (b) the Company’s AFFO per share, prior to the completion of an IPO.
The Company utilizes third-party valuation experts to assist in estimating the fair value of the earnout liability, and develops estimates by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis. These estimates require the Company to make various assumptions about share price volatility and, prior to the IPO, about the timing of an IPO and net asset prices, each of which are unobservable and considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. A
7
change in these inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. Specifically, advancements in the estimated IPO date assumption increased the earnout liability’s fair value given the earnout’s fixed time horizon. Peer share price volatilities are used to estimate the Company’s expected share price volatility, and the Company’s corresponding ability to achieve the earnout targets. Increases in the volatility assumption would increase the earnout liability’s fair value. Increases in net asset values would also increase the earnout liability’s fair value.
The table below provides a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the earnout liability as of March 31, 2021:

The Company’s net asset value per diluted share was primarily based on the fair value of its real estate investment portfolio, together with the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio as of the measurement date was determined using market capitalization rates that ranged between 6.05% and 7.09%. |

The decrease in fair value subsequent to the Internalization was driven by a lower share price. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in peer stock price volatility, which is attributable to changes in economic circumstances impacting global equity markets.

Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company’s judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.
The following table summarizes the carrying amount reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the Mortgages, net, Unsecured term notes, net, and Unsecured revolving credit facility, which reflects the fair value of interest rate swaps:

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the fair value of impaired real estate assets that were determined using Level 3 inputs.
Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company is a lessee under non-cancelable operating leases associated with its corporate headquarters and other office spaces as well as with leases of land (“ground leases”). The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with these leases. The lease liability is equal to the net present value of the future payments to be made under the lease, discounted using estimates based on observable market factors. The right-of-use asset is generally equal to the lease liability plus initial direct costs associated with the leases. The Company includes in the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability those renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease inception. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions are considered variable lease costs and are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company has made an accounting policy election, applicable to all asset types, not to separate lease from nonlease components when allocating contract consideration related to operating leases.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with operating leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under its 2020 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Company accounts for stock-based incentives in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on the award’s estimated grant date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the appropriate vesting period on a straight-line basis or at the cumulative amount vested at each balance sheet date, if greater. The Company records forfeitures during the period in which they occur by reversing all previously recorded stock compensation expense associated with the forfeited shares. Dividends declared on RSAs issued under the Equity Incentive Plan are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends related to forfeited RSAs will be reversed through compensation expense in the period the forfeiture occurs. Dividends accrued on the PRSUs are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends accrued related to forfeited PRSUs are reversed in the period the forfeiture occurs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refines the scope of ASC 848, to include all derivative contracts subject to a transition for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest (PAI) as a result of reference rate reform (the “discounting transition”). ASU 2021-01 gives market participants the ability to apply certain aspects of the contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by a discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 permits an entity to elect certain hedging relief if it has designated a derivative as a hedging instrument in a hedging relationship and the terms of the derivative have changed as a result of the discounting transition. The Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2021-01 related to contract modifications and hedging relationships prospectively.
Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
3. Related-Party Transactions
Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, BRE, a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation had either a direct or indirect ownership interest, and the Asset Manager were considered to be related parties.
Earnout Consideration
In connection with the Internalization, the Company incurred a contingent obligation that would be payable to certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and employees who had previously been owners and/or employees of BRE, upon the occurrence of certain events (see Note 4). The earnout consideration at March 31, 2021, consisted of $6,385 recorded as Earnout liability, $11,380 recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital, and $19,430 recorded as a component of Non-controlling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The earnout consideration at March 31, 2020, consisted of $44,296 recorded as Earnout liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Internalization
On February 7, 2020, the Company completed the Internalization and the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP. The effect of the Internalization has been reflected in the Company’s operating results beginning on February 7, 2020.
Condensed Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following pro forma information summarizes selected financial information from the Company’s combined results of operations, as if the Internalization had occurred on January 1, 2019. These results contain certain adjustments totaling $5,646 of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination of Internalization expenses and asset management, property management, and disposition fees between the Company and BRE and the Asset Manager in historic financial results, and adjustments to reflect compensation and related costs, incremental general and administrative expenses related to the Internalization, and incremental interest expense associated with the borrowing related to the Internalization. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only, and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the Internalization occurred at the beginning of the period, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.

7. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements
The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, retail, and other industries. At March 31, 2021, the Company had 644 real estate properties which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases, 10 that have been classified as direct financing leases, and one that has been classified as a sales-type lease. Of the 10 leases classified as direct financing leases, three include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases. The sales-type lease includes a land portion which is accounted for as an operating lease. Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years. The Company’s leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the CPI, or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, tenants are also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide for one or more multiple year renewal options, at the election of the tenant, and are subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented. |

Amounts presented include debt issuance costs, net, related to the unsecured term notes and senior notes only. |
(c) |
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, one-month LIBOR was 0.11% and 0.14%, respectively. At March 31, 2021 daily LIBOR was 0.08%. |
(d) |
In January 2021, the Company received a credit rating of BBB, changing the applicable margin on variable rate unsecured debt effective February 1, 2021. |
(e) |
At December 31, 2020, interest rate was one-month LIBOR plus 1.20%. |
(f) |
At December 31, 2020, interest rate was one-month LIBOR plus 1.25%. |
(g) |
At December 31, 2020, interest rate was one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. |
(h) |
At December 31, 2020, interest rate was one-month LIBOR plus 1.85%. |
At March 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings was 2.45%, exclusive of interest rate swap agreements.
On March 12, 2021, the Company amended the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan and made a $50,000 paydown on the loan. Prior to the amendment, the borrowings under the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan were subject to interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin based on the OP’s current credit rating ranging between 1.45% and 2.40% per annum with the applicable margin being 1.60% immediately prior to the amendment. The amendment reduced the margin to a range between 0.85% and 1.65% per annum and based on the OP’s credit rating of BBB, the applicable margin was 1.0% beginning March 12, 2021. All other terms and conditions of the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan remained materially the same as those in effect prior to this amendment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid $951 in debt issuance costs associated with the amended 2026 Unsecured Term Loan. For each separate debt instrument, on a lender by lender basis, in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, the Company performed an assessment of whether the transaction was deemed to be new debt, a modification of existing debt, or an extinguishment of existing debt. Debt issuance costs are either deferred and amortized over the term of the associated debt or expensed as incurred. Based on the assessment, $946 of debt issuance costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2021, were deemed to be related to the modification of existing debt, and therefore have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the associated debt.
14
Additionally, $126 of unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and included in Cost of debt extinguishment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Debt issuance costs are amortized as a component of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The following table summarizes debt issuance cost amortization:

The Company is subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to its unsecured credit agreements. These covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including leverage, fixed charge coverage, and debt service coverage, among others. As of March 31, 2021, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Failure to comply with the covenants would result in a default which, if the Company were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment of the obligations. Further, in the event of default, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends to its stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain its REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material and adverse impact on the Company.

11. Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swaps were entered into with certain financial institutions in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability over the term of the related debt agreements. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. In order to reduce counterparty concentration risk, the Company has a diversification policy for institutions that serve as swap counterparties. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly payments from the counterparties on these interest rate swaps equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. Certain interest rate swaps amortize on a monthly basis. In turn, the Company pays the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that the Company pays a fixed interest rate on its variable-rate borrowings.

Amounts related to the interest rate swaps expected to be reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense during the next twelve months are estimated to be a loss of $15,776. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of the swaps. The Company minimizes the risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
12. Credit Risk Concentrations
The Company maintained bank balances that, at times, exceeded the federally insured limit during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has not experienced losses relating to these deposits and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these amounts.
The Company has mortgages with three institutions that comprised 63%, 16%, and 10% of total mortgages at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no individual tenants or common franchises that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.
13. Equity
General
On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its IPO and issued 37,000 shares of Class A Common Stock inclusive of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020.
Aside from the conversion discussed below, the terms of the Class A Common Stock were identical to the terms of the Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock on March 20, 2021, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the ticker “BNL.” The Common Stock and Class A Common Stock are collectively referred to as the Corporation’s “common stock.”

On March 1, 2021 and August 4, 2020, the Company awarded 199 and 341 shares of RSAs, respectively, under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain officers and employees. The holder of RSAs is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted common shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The March 1, 2021 RSAs vest over a one, three or four year period from the date of grant. The August 4, 2020 RSAs vest over a three or four year period from the anniversaries of February 7, 2020. The vesting for the RSAs is subject to the employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates and in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreements. The August 4, 2020 grant date fair value per share of $20.50 was based on the determined share value established by the Board of Directors (“Determined Share Value”). Prior to the IPO, the Company sold shares of common stock in a private offering at a price equal to the Determined Share Value, which was established at least quarterly by the Board of Directors based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Board of Directors determined. The Company’s NAV was calculated using its established valuation process, starting with an estimate of the fair value of the properties in the portfolio as of that date based upon, among other factors, the implied market price for each asset based upon a review of market capitalization rates. The March 1, 2021 grant date fair value per share of $18.66 was based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units
On March 1, 2021, the Company issued target grants of 132 PRSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan to the officers of the Company. The awards are non-vested restricted stock units where the vesting percentages and the ultimate number of units vesting will be measured 50% based on the relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of peer companies over a three-year period, as identified in the grant agreements, and 50% based on the rTSR of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of the MSCI US REIT Index over a three year measurement period. The payout schedules can produce vesting percentages ranging from 0% to 200% with a target of 100%. rTSR means the percentage appreciation in the fair market value of one share over the three-year measurement period beginning on the date of grant, assuming the reinvestment of dividends on the ex-dividend date. The target number of units is based on achieving a rTSR equal to the 55th percentile of the peer companies and MSCI US REIT Index. Dividends accrue during the measurement period and will be paid on the PRSUs ultimately earned at the end of the measurement period in either cash or common stock, at the direction of the Board’s Compensation Committee. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on assumptions including share price volatility.

Represents the weighted average effects of 416 unvested restricted shares of common stock as of March 31, 2021, which will be excluded from the computation of earnings per share until they vest. The shares of restricted common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of doing so would have been anti-dilutive. |

Represents the weighted average effects of 11,361 and 12,226 OP Units outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. OP Units are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. However, because such OP Units would also require that the share of the net income attributable to such OP units also be added back to net income, there is no effect to EPS. |
16. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures
Cash paid for interest was $9,397 and $14,010 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $237 and $195 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The following are non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
|
• |
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation issued 69 shares of Common Stock with a value of approximately $5,733 under the terms of the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”). The Company terminated the DRIP effective February 10, 2020. |
19
|
|
• |
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued shares of Common Stock and OP Units, with a total value of approximately $178,535, and earnout consideration with a fair value of $40,119 as consideration for the Internalization and assumed $90,484 of debt. |
|
• |
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company adjusted the carrying value of mezzanine equity non-controlling interests by $2,416, with an offset to Additional paid-in capital, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy. |
|
• |
At March 31, 2021 and 2020, dividend amounts declared and accrued but not yet paid amounted to $39,329 and $13,160, respectively. |
17. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Property and Acquisition Related
In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance, liability, claim, or other environmental condition that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Balances associated with tenant improvement allowances are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

The Company is a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and to the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement in connection with the Internalization. The tax protection agreements require the Company to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, and in the case of the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is required to allocate an amount of nonrecourse liabilities to each beneficiary that is at least equal to the minimum liability amount, as contained in the agreements. The minimum liability amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the OP level, and do not represent GAAP accounting. Therefore, there is no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on values as of March 31, 2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the agreements of approximately $22,300. Based on information available, the Company does not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future.
Obligations Under Operating Leases
Subsequent to the Internalization, the Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters and other locations under non-cancellable operating leases with expiration dates ranging from 2021 to 2023. These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement. The lease for the corporate headquarters is with an affiliated third party.
The Company also leases land at certain properties under non-cancellable operating leases (“ground leases”) with initial lease terms ranging from 2034 to 2066. These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. One lease requires the Company to make annual rent payments calculated based upon sales generated at the property (“percentage rent”). None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement.

Overview
We acquire, own, and manage primarily single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to a diversified group of tenants. Since our inception in 2007, we have selectively invested in net leased assets in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail property types. As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio has grown to 661 properties, with 660 properties located in 41 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada.
We focus on investing in real estate that is operated by creditworthy single tenants in industries characterized by positive business drivers and trends. We target properties that are an integral part of the tenants’ businesses and for which there are therefore opportunities to secure long-term net leases. Through long-term net leases, our tenants are able to retain operational control of their strategically important locations, while allocating their debt and equity capital to fund their core business operations rather than real estate ownership.
|
- |
Diversified Portfolio. As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio comprised approximately 28.4 million rentable square feet of operational space, and was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and industry, and is cross-diversified within each (e.g., property-type diversification within a geographic concentration): |
|
o |
Property Type: We are focused primarily on industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail property types based on our extensive experience in and conviction around these sectors. Within these sectors, we have meaningful concentrations in manufacturing, distribution and warehouse, clinical, casual dining, quick service restaurant, strategic operations, corporate headquarters, food processing, flex/research and development, and cold storage. |
|
o |
Geographic Diversity: Our properties are located in 41 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada, with no single geographic concentration exceeding 10.2% of our ABR. |
|
o |
Tenant and Industry Diversity: Our properties are occupied by approximately 185 different commercial tenants who operate 171 different brands that are diversified across 55 differing industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than 2.4% of our ABR. |
|
- |
Strong In-Place Leases with Significant Remaining Lease Term. As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio was approximately 99.7% leased based on rentable square footage with an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 10.6 years, excluding renewal options. |
|
- |
Standard Contractual Base Rent Escalation. Approximately 98.2% of our leases have contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.1%. |
|
- |
Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting. Approximately 88.1% of our ABR is received from tenants that are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis. An additional 7.1% of our ABR is received from tenants who are not required to provide us with specified financial information under the terms of our lease, but whose financial statements are available publicly, either through SEC filings or otherwise. |

Results of Operations
The following discussion includes the results of our operations for the periods presented. We have included an analysis of the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. We have included the comparison of the immediately preceding quarter given our Internalization and initial public offering’s (“IPO”) significant impact to our results of operations and financial condition, and therefore comparability, of the prior year periods. We believe the quarter-over-quarter analysis is beneficial to investors as it compares the results of operations on a more comparable basis, and aligns with our strategic growth priorities under a different leverage and liquidity profile going forward.

The increase in Lease revenues, net was primarily attributable to growth in our real estate portfolio through accretive property acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we invested $100.3 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 19 properties at a weighted average initial cash cap rate of 6.9%. Most of these acquisitions closed during the month of December, and therefore did not materially contribute to Lease revenues, net for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense reflects a decrease in our weighted average cost of borrowings combined with decreased average outstanding borrowings in the comparable period. In January 2021, we received an initial credit rating of BBB with a stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), which had the effect of lowering the applicable margin on our then existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021, as well as a 20 basis point decrease in the applicable margin on Revolving Credit Facility borrowings. We also repriced our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan in March 2021, reducing the applicable margin by an additional 60 basis points, and simultaneously repaid $50 million.
Change in fair value of earnout liability
As part of the Internalization, we may be required to pay additional earnout consideration if certain milestones are achieved during the Earnout Periods. We record the fair value of this contingent consideration in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and update the fair value at the end of each reporting period. To the extent the change in fair value relates to a portion of the earnout consideration that is classified as a liability, we record the change through earnings. We estimate the fair value of the earnout liability by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis to estimate fair value. These estimates require us to make various assumptions about future share prices, and other items that are unobservable and are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The change in the fair value of the earnout liability during the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflects a decrease in our share price as compared to December 31, 2020.

The increase in net income is primarily due to a $7.8 million increase in income from the change in fair value of our earnout liability and a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense. These factors were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses.
GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons.

Asset management fees and Property management fees
The decrease in asset management fees and property management fees was due to the completion of the Internalization in February 2020, which terminated the associated agreements with our third-party manager.
General and administrative
The increase in general and administrative expenses mainly reflects the impact of the Internalization associated with our newly acquired employee base. Following the Internalization, our asset and property management fees were replaced with compensation and related expenses, along with associated general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties

Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense primarily reflects a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings, combined with a decrease in our weighted average cost of borrowings. In September 2020, we used the proceeds of our IPO to repay $456.7 million of outstanding borrowings, including accrued interest, significantly reducing our leverage profile. In January 2021, we received an initial credit rating of BBB with a stable outlook from S&P, which had the effect of lowering the applicable margin on our then existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021. We also repriced and partially repaid our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan in March 2021, reducing the applicable margin and principal balance by an additional 60 basis points and $50 million, respectively.
Gain on sale of real estate
Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized gains of $4.7 million on the sale of eight properties, compared to gains of $7.6 million on the sale of 10 properties during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Internalization expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $1.2 million of third-party fees and consulting expenses associated with the Internalization that closed on February 7, 2020. We did not incur these expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Change in fair value of earnout liability
The change in the fair value of the earnout liability during the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflects a decrease in our period end share price.

The increase in net income, is primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in income from the change in fair value of our earnout liability, a $4.9 million decrease in interest expense, revenue growth of $4.5 million, and a $1.2 million decrease in internalization expenses. These factors were partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in the gain on sale of real estate.
GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We acquire real estate using a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. We are committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet through active management of our leverage profile and overall liquidity position. We believe our leverage strategy has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by our investment grade credit ratings of BBB from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with lenders and with rating agencies regarding our credit rating. We seek to maintain on a sustained basis a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio that is generally less than 6.0x. As of March 31, 2021, we had total debt outstanding of $1.5 billion, Net Debt of $1.5 billion, and a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of approximately 5.25x.
Net Debt and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated based upon EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre, each of which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Non-GAAP Measures below for further details concerning our calculation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measure.
Liquidity/REIT Requirements
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including our ongoing commitments to repay debt, fund our operations, acquire properties, make distributions to our stockholders, and other general business needs. As a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, on an annual basis. As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances to meet our long-term liquidity needs, including repayment of debt and the acquisition of additional properties, from our annual taxable income. Instead, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs primarily by relying upon external sources of capital.
Short-term Liquidity Requirements
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses as well as interest payments on our outstanding debt, and to pay distributions. We do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs because of the strong occupancy levels across our portfolio and the nature of our leases. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash and cash equivalents balances and net cash provided by operating activities, supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
As detailed in the contractual obligations table below, we have approximately $61.7 million of expected obligations due to be paid throughout the remainder of 2021, primarily consisting of $17.2 million of mortgage maturities, and $43.1 million of interest expense due, including the impact of our interest rate swaps. We expect our cash provided by operating activities, as discussed below, will be sufficient to pay for our current obligations including interest expense on our borrowings. We expect to either repay the maturing mortgages with available cash on hand generated from our results of operations or borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, or refinance with property-level borrowings.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to repay debt and invest in additional revenue generating properties. Debt capital is provided through unsecured term notes, revolving credit facilities, and senior unsecured notes. Further, we anticipate having the ability to access the public unsecured bond market, which was historically largely unavailable to us prior to our IPO.
The source and mix of our debt capital in the future will be impacted by market conditions as well as our continued focus on lengthening our debt maturity profile to better align with our portfolio’s lease terms, staggering debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of debt will mature in any single year in the future, and managing our exposure to interest rate risk. Our $60 million 2022 Unsecured Term Loan has a short-term maturity date of February 2022. We expect to either repay the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan with available cash on hand, or with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. With outstanding borrowings of $15 million at March 31, 2021, we have $885 million of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements primarily from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, future debt and equity financings, and proceeds from limited sales of our properties. Our ability to access these capital sources may be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, particularly in the debt and equity capital markets, that are outside of our control. In addition, our success will depend on our operating performance, our borrowing restrictions, our degree of leverage, and other factors. Our acquisition growth strategy significantly depends on our ability to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet by investing in real estate with creditworthy tenants and lease guarantors, and by maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. We also, from time to time, obtain or assume non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property. Mortgages, however, are not currently a strategic focus of the active management of our capital structure.
Equity Capital Resources
On September 21, 2020, we completed our IPO and issued 37 million shares of stock for net proceeds of $588.3 million, including shares issued subsequently pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. We used $216.5 million of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under our then existing revolving credit agreement and $240.2 million of the proceeds to fully repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest associated with an unsecured term loan.
As we continue to invest in accretive real estate properties, we expect to balance our debt and equity capitalization, while maintaining a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio below 6.0x on a sustained basis, through the anticipated use of follow-on equity offerings and an at-the-market (“ATM”) program. As of March 31, 2021, we have successfully deployed the remaining proceeds from our IPO.

As announced on January 21, 2021, S&P assigned the Company an initial credit rating of 'BBB' with a stable outlook. As a result of this credit rating, the margin of our existing bank loans was reduced by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021, the applicable margin on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by 20 basis points, and our access to a diverse set of advantageous funding sources should expand. During the quarter, Moody’s reaffirmed our ‘Baa3’ credit rating and updated their outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘positive.
35
On March 12, 2021, we amended our $450 million 2026 Unsecured Term Loan, reducing the applicable margin an additional 60 basis points based on our current credit rating. In connection with the amendment, we repaid in full the outstanding commitments for two lenders and elected to repay an additional $10 million in outstanding principal, bringing the outstanding balance to $400 million as of March 31, 2021.
On March 31, 2021, we drew $15 million on our Revolving Credit Facility to fund an acquisition. We have $885 million of remaining capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021.
Debt Covenants
We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to our debt facilities, which are summarized below. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants on all outstanding borrowings. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the distribution amounts required to maintain our REIT qualification.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating-rate borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities and a certain mortgage. Borrowings pursuant to our unsecured credit facilities and the mortgage bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense, which will in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.
We attempt to manage our interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2021, we had 32 interest rate swaps outstanding in an aggregate notional amount of $824.7 million. Under these agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $18.4 million, $110.7 million, and $96.7 million at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The table below shows information concerning cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020:

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, was mainly due to growth in our real estate portfolio and cost savings associated with the Internalization.
The change in net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, was mainly due to decreased acquisition volume quarter-over-quarter. The change in net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, was mainly due to increased acquisition volume and decreased proceeds from disposal of properties in 2021 offset by decrease in cash paid in connection with the Internalization.
36
The change in net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 mainly reflects a net repayment of debt in 2021 as compared to net proceeds from our IPO in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made a $50 million paydown on our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan using cash on hand and remaining proceeds from our IPO in 2020. During the three months ended December 31, 2020 our underwriters partially exercised their overallotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 3.5 million shares for net proceeds of approximately $55.9 million. The change in net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, mainly reflects a net repayment of debt in 2021, compared to net borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

(a) |
We may extend the Revolving Credit Facility twice, each for a six-month period, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments. |
(b) |
Interest expense is projected based on the outstanding borrowings and interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2021. This amount includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements. |
(c) |
We expect to pay tenant improvement allowances out of cash flows from operations or from additional borrowings. |
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment in rental property of $172.4 million and $173.5 million, respectively, was pledged as collateral against our mortgages.
Additionally, we are a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and we entered into the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement in connection with the Internalization. The tax protection agreements require us to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, and in the case of the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. Based on values as of March 31, 2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the four agreements of approximately $22.3 million. Based on information available, we do not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have excluded these commitments from the contractual commitments table above.
Non-GAAP Measures
FFO and AFFO
We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit, the worldwide representative voice for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the U.S. real estate and capital markets. Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of certain depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment charges related to certain previously depreciated real estate assets. To derive Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), we modify the Nareit computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash and non-recurring revenues and expenses, including straight-line rents, the change in fair value of our earnout liability, cost of debt extinguishments, amortization of lease intangibles, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of net mortgage premiums, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, internalization expenses, stock-based compensation, severance, extraordinary items, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that excluding such items assists
37
management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors.
Our leases include cash rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rentals over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates. In situations where we granted short-term rent deferrals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and such deferrals were probable of collection and expected to be repaid within a short term, we continued to recognize the same amount of GAAP lease revenues each period. Consistent with GAAP lease revenues, the short-term deferrals associated with COVID-19 did not impact our AFFO.
We further exclude the change in fair value of our earnout liability, costs or gains recorded on the extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense and gains, the amortization of debt issuance costs, net mortgage premiums, and lease intangibles, realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, internalization expenses, stock-based compensation and severance, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operational results. We use AFFO as a measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.
FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.
Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments to FFO that we use to calculate AFFO. In the future, the SEC, Nareit, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of AFFO accordingly.
The following table reconciles net income (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to FFO and AFFO:

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre
We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry. We believe that this ratio provides investors and analysts with a measure of our performance that includes our operating results unaffected by the differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and useful life of related assets compared to other companies in our industry. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by Nareit, as EBITDA excluding gains (loss) from the sales of depreciable property and provisions for impairment on investment in real estate. We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information about our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. EBITDA and EBITDAre are not measures of financial
38
performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA and EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDA and EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
We are focused on a disciplined and targeted acquisition strategy, together with active asset management that includes selective sales of properties. We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, each discussed further below, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with our lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. As we fund new acquisitions using our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, our leverage profile and Net Debt will be immediately impacted by current quarter acquisitions. However, the full benefit of EBITDAre from newly acquired properties will not be received in the same quarter in which the properties are acquired. Additionally, EBITDAre for the quarter includes amounts generated by properties that have been sold during the quarter. Accordingly, the variability in EBITDAre caused by the timing of our acquisitions and dispositions can temporarily distort our leverage ratios. We adjust EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) for the most recently completed quarter (i) to recalculate as if all acquisitions and dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the quarter, (ii) to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that are either non-cash, such as cost of debt extinguishments or the change in fair value of our earnout liability, or that we believe are one time, or unusual in nature because they relate to unique circumstances or transactions that had not previously occurred and which we do not anticipate occurring in the future, and (iii) to eliminate the impact of lease termination fees and other items that are not a result of normal operations. We then annualize quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying it by four (“Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre”). You should not unduly rely on this measure as it is based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDAre for future periods may be significantly different from our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are not measurements of performance under GAAP, and our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net Debt, Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre
We define Net Debt as gross debt (total reported debt plus deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors and analysts because these ratios provide information about gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay debt, compared to our performance as measured using EBITDAre, and is used in communications with lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. The following table reconciles total debt (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to Net Debt, and presents the ratio of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, respectively:

Critical Accounting Policies
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies and procedures are included in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2021, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks, one of the most predominant of which is a change in interest rates. Increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt. Increases in interest rates can also result in increased interest expense when our fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by entering into long-term fixed rate debt or by entering into interest rate swaps to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Further information concerning our interest rate swaps can be found in Note 11 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our fixed-rate debt includes our Senior Notes, mortgages, and variable-rate debt converted to a fixed rate with the use of interest rate swaps. Our fixed-rate debt and outstanding interest rate swaps had carrying values and fair values of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2021. Changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps, but they have no impact on interest incurred or on cash flows. For instance, if interest rates were to increase 1%, and the fixed-rate debt balance were to remain constant, we would expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, similar to how the price of a bond decreases as interest rates rise. A 1% increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps of approximately $74.5 million as of March 31, 2021.
40
Borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt bear interest at rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, and totaled $934.7 million as of March 31, 2021, of which $824.7 million was swapped to a fixed rate by our use of interest rate swaps. Taking into account the effect of our interest rate swaps, a 1% increase or decrease in interest would have a corresponding $1.1 million increase or decrease in interest expense annually.
With the exception of our interest rate swap transactions, we have not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
As of March 31, 2021, our financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
41
Part II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are subject to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are not aware of any material legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Form 10-K.

The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby, to the extent not controlled by the terms and conditions contained in the Plan, shall be as set forth in the Notice and this Award Agreement.

|
1. |
No Right to Continued Employee Status or Consultant Service |
Nothing contained in this Award Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee the right to the continuation of his or her Employee status, or, in the case of a Consultant or Director, to the continuation of his or her service arrangement, or in either case to interfere with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to Terminate the Grantee.
|
2. |
Term of Restricted Stock Units |
This Award Agreement shall remain in effect until the Restricted Stock Units have fully vested and been settled or been forfeited by the Grantee as provided in this Award Agreement.
3.Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Subject to Section 5, the Restricted Stock Units (up to the Maximum Number of Restricted Stock Units as set forth on the Notice) shall vest on such day following the expiration of the Performance Period that the Committee determines the level of performance achieved (the “Measurement Date”), subject to the Grantee’s not having Terminated prior to Measurement Date and only to the extent the performance goals set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Performance Goals”) are achieved. Except as set forth in Section 5 or in an employment agreement or severance agreement between the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the Grantee, if the Grantee Terminates for any reason, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has not vested as of such date shall terminate upon such Termination and be deemed to have been forfeited by the Grantee without consideration.
(b)(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(a), if a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Grantee’s Termination, and the Restricted Stock Units are assumed in connection with such Change in Control, achievement of the Performance Goals shall be determined by the Board in its good faith discretion as of the date on which such Change in Control is consummated and the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that would have vested pursuant to the Schedule 1 based on such level of achievement (such amount, the “CIC
Restricted Stock Units”) shall remain issued, outstanding, and eligible to vest, and shall fully vest (100%) upon the expiration of the original Performance Period, subject to, except as set forth in Section 5(c), the Grantee’s not having Terminated prior to the expiration of the original Performance Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units other than the CIC Restricted Stock Units (if any) shall be deemed to have been forfeited by the Grantee without consideration effective as of the date on which the Change in Control is consummated.
(ii) In the event the Restricted Stock Units are not assumed, or substituted for an equivalent award. by the Company’s successor, the CIC Restricted Stock Units, as determined in the manner described in Section 3(b)(i) shall immediately become fully (100%) vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, and any portion of the Restricted Stock Units other than the CIC Restricted Stock Units (if any) shall be deemed to have been forfeited by the Grantee without consideration effective as of the date on which the Change in Control is consummated.
Within thirty (30) days following the date on which any portion of the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 3 of this Award Agreement and Schedule 1, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee one (1) Share in settlement of each Restricted Stock Unit that becomes vested on such vesting date.
(a)Except as otherwise set forth in an employment or severance agreement between the Company or one of the Subsidiaries and the Grantee, and subject to the remainder of this Section 5, if the Grantee incurs a Termination for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not previously vested (after taking into account any vesting in connection with such Termination pursuant to this Section 5) shall terminate and be forfeited as of the date of the Grantee’s Termination.
(b)Subject to the remainder of this Section 5, if the Grantee incurs a Termination due to the Grantee’s death or Disability, Grantee or the Grantee’s estate, as applicable will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the number Restricted Stock Units (calculated in respect of the number of days the Grantee was employed during the Performance Period prior to the date of Termination) determined to be vested and earned based on actual achievement of the Performance Goals through the expiration of the Performance Period, as determined by the Committee on the Measurement Date. The pro rata portion of the RSUs deemed to be vested and earned, if any, will be settled at the same time as the similarly situated RSUs are settled for other active employee grantees, together with any accrued dividend amounts in the Grantee’s Account pursuant to Section 7 in respect of such pro rata RSUs.
(c)If a Change in Control is consummated prior to the Grantee’s Termination and the Restricted Stock Units were assumed in connection with such Change in Control in accordance with Section 3(b), in the event the Grantee’s employment is Terminated by the Company (or its
successor) without Cause or by the Grantee for Good Reason, in either case, on or within the 12 month period following the consummation of such Change in Control, the CIC Restricted Stock Units to the extent then outstanding at the time of the Grantee’s Termination shall become fully (100%) vested upon the Grantee’s Termination. For purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” shall mean (x) if the Grantee is party to an employment or a severance agreement with the Company or one of the Subsidiaries in which “Good Reason” is defined, the occurrence of any circumstances defined as “Good Reason” in such employment or severance agreement, or (y) if the Grantee is not party to an employment or severance agreement with the Company or one of the Subsidiaries in which “Good Reason” is defined, (i) a material diminution in the Grantee’s annual base salary or target annual bonus opportunity, (ii) a relocation (without the written consent of the Grantee) of Grantee’s principal place of employment by more than thirty-five (35) miles from the principal location or (iii) a material diminution in the Grantee’s title, position, authority, duties, or responsibilities. A termination of employment by the Grantee for Good Reason shall be effectuated by giving the Company written notice of the termination, setting forth the conduct of the Company that constitutes Good Reason, within 30 days of the first date on which the Grantee has knowledge of such conduct. The Grantee shall further provide the Company at least 30 days following the date on which such notice is provided to cure such conduct. Failing such cure, a termination of employment by the Grantee for Good Reason shall be effective on the day following the expiration of such cure period.
(d)If the Grantee incurs, at any time, a Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Grantee without Good Reason, then all outstanding unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited and terminate immediately without consideration upon the effective date of such Termination for Cause or without Good Reason.
(a)No Sale or Transfer. Unless otherwise required by law, the Restricted Stock Units shall not be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, (ii) pledged or otherwise hypothecated or (iii) subject to attachment, execution or levy of any kind, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; provided, however, that any transferred Restricted Stock Units will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and this Award Agreement and the Grantee’s estate or beneficiary appointed in accordance with the Plan will remain liable for any withholding tax that may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority.
(b)Right to Terminate Restricted Stock Units and Recovery. The Grantee understands and agrees that the Company has granted the Restricted Stock Units to the Grantee to reward the Grantee for the Grantee’s future efforts and loyalty to the Company and its Affiliates by giving the Grantee the opportunity to participate in the potential future appreciation of the Company. Accordingly, if (i) the Grantee materially violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to the non-disclosure or non-use of confidential or proprietary information under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, (ii) the Grantee materially breaches or violates the Grantee’s obligations relating to non-disparagement under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, (iii) the Grantee materially breaches or violates any non-solicitation obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, (iv)
the Grantee breaches or violates any non-competition obligations under any Restrictive Agreement to which the Grantee is a party, or (v) the Grantee is convicted of a felony against the Company or any of its Affiliates, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled, at its option, exercisable by written notice, to terminate the Restricted Stock Units (including the shares issued in respect of the vested portion of the Restricted Stock Units) without consideration, and such Restricted Stock Units (or Shares) will be of no further force and effect. “Restrictive Agreement” shall mean any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Grantee that contains non-competition, non-solicitation, non-hire, non-disparagement, or confidentiality restrictions applicable to the Grantee.
(c)Other Remedies. The Grantee specifically acknowledges and agrees that its remedies under this Section 6 shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the Grantee’s breach of any Restrictive Agreement. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6 should ever be deemed to exceed the limitation provided by applicable law, then the Grantee and the Company agree that such provisions shall be reformed to set forth the maximum limitations permitted.
|
7. |
No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalent Rights. |
The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units until the effective date of issuance of the Shares and the entry of the Grantee’s name as a shareholder of record on the books of the Company following delivery of the Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
The Grantee shall not be entitled to receive any dividends with respect to the RSUs unless and until such RSUs become vested. During the Performance Period, during any period between the expiration of the Performance Period and the Measurement Date, and during any period during which the RSUs are vested but not yet settled, if and when any dividends are declared on Shares, on the date such dividend is paid, the Company will credit to a bookkeeping account (the “Account”) maintained by the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) for the Grantee’s benefit an amount equal to the amount of such dividend that would have been paid on the same number of RSUs that are unvested and outstanding pursuant to this Award Agreement as of the record date of such dividend. Such credited amount shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions applicable to the RSUs to which such credited amount relates, as set forth this Award Agreement. Any credited amount that becomes vested as set forth herein, will be payable at the same time as Shares are otherwise delivered upon the settlement of the vested RSUs, if any, to which the credited amounts relate as set forth in this Award Agreement and will be payable in cash or stock, in the sole discretion of the Committee as determined at the time of payment.
|
8. |
Taxation Upon Settlement of the Restricted Stock Units; Tax Withholding; Parachute Tax Provisions |
The Grantee understands that the Grantee will recognize income, for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, as applicable, in respect of the vesting and/or settlement of the Restricted
Stock Units. The acceptance of the Shares by the Grantee shall constitute an agreement by the Grantee to report such income in accordance with then applicable law and to cooperate with Company and its subsidiaries in establishing the amount of such income and corresponding deduction to the Company and/or its subsidiaries for its income tax purposes.
The Grantee is responsible for all tax obligations that arise as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Company may withhold from any amount payable to the Grantee an amount sufficient to cover any Federal, state or local withholding taxes which may become required with respect to such vesting and settlement or take any other action it deems necessary to satisfy any income or other tax withholding requirements as a result of the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall have the right to require the payment of any such taxes and require that the Grantee, or the Grantee’s beneficiary, to furnish information deemed necessary by the Company to meet any tax reporting obligation as a condition to delivery of any Shares pursuant to settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee may pay his or her withholding tax obligation in connection with the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, by making a cash payment to the Company. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may allow the Grantee, to pay his or her withholding tax obligation in connection with the vesting and settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, by (x) having withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to him or her upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units or (z) surrendering Shares that have been held by the Grantee for at least six (6) months (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Committee) prior to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, in each case having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.
In connection with the grant of the Restricted Stock Units, the parties wish to memorialize their agreement regarding the treatment of any potential golden parachute payments as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
|
9. |
Securities Laws |
(a)Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will make such written representations, warranties, and agreements as the Committee may reasonably request in order to comply with securities laws or with this Award Agreement. Grantee hereby agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise attempt to dispose of any Shares issued to the Grantee upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units in any way which would: (x) require the Company to file any registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any similar filing under state law or the laws of any other county) or to amend or supplement any such filing or (y) violate or cause the Company to violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Federal, state or local law, or the laws of any other country.

(collectively, the “Policy”) or the Grantee is otherwise prohibited from selling Shares in the public market and any Shares underlying the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to be delivered on a settlement date (the “Original Settlement Date”) that (A) does not occur during an open “window period” applicable to the Grantee or on a day on which the Grantee is permitted to sell Shares underlying any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has vested pursuant to a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, as determined by the Company in accordance with the Policy, as applicable, or (B) does not occur on a date when the Grantee is otherwise permitted to sell Shares on the open market, and (ii) the Company elects not to satisfy the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations by withholding Shares from the Grantee’s distribution, then such Shares shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered, as applicable, on (x) the first business day of the next occurring open “window period” applicable to the Grantee pursuant to the Policy, or (y) the next business day on which the Grantee is not otherwise prohibited from selling Shares in the open market, but in no event later than March 15th of year following the year in which the Restricted Stock Units vest.

Schedule 1
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Award Agreement, the number of RSUs subject to this Award that will be vested and earned, if the service conditions are met, will be determined, based on the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company relative to the TSR of the Peer Group (as defined below), in accordance with payout schedule set forth below.
(b) The number of RSUs to vest will be determined based on Company performance against the applicable Peer Group as set forth below, with achievement between the stated percentages (after reaching 50% payout level) being interpolated on a straight-line basis:
Company’s Percentile Rank as compared to applicable comparator group |
Percentage of Target RSUs Vesting |
Less than 30th percentile |
0% |
30th percentile |
50% |
55th percentile |
100% |
80th percentile |
200% |
(c) Promptly following the completion of the Performance Period (and no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the Performance Period), the Committee will review and certify (i) what percentile rank of relative TSR has been achieved, and (ii) the number of RSUs that will become vested for each Participant, if any, subject to the terms of this Agreement. TSR shall be measured for each of the Company and the Peer Group based on the percentage appreciation (positive or negative) in the Fair Market Value of one share over the Performance Period, assuming the reinvestment of dividends on the ex-dividend date.
(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Peer Group” shall mean (x) in respect of 50% of the target number of RSUs, the MSCI US REIT Index on a non-weighted basis; and (y) in respect to 50% of the target number of RSUs, the peer companies set forth on Schedule 2. The companies consisting of the applicable Peer Group will be subject to the discretion of the Committee to make adjustments to recognize special or non-recurring situations or circumstances with respect to the Company or any other company in the Peer Group for any year in the Performance Period, including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition activity, a spin-off/divestiture, or bankruptcy.
(e) The vesting of the number of RSUs considered earned in accordance with this Schedule and Section 3 of the Award Agreement shall occur on the Measurement Date (i.e., date the Committee makes its determinations of performance achievement), subject to the Grantee’s continued service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through such date and the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement.
(f) All determinations by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Grantee, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Exhibit A
PARACHUTE TAX PROVISIONS
This Exhibit A sets forth the terms and provisions applicable to the Grantee pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of the Award Agreement. This Exhibit A shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement.
(a)To the extent that the Grantee, would otherwise be eligible to receive a payment or benefit pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement, any employment or other agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary or a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or of a substantial portion of its assets (any such payment or benefit, a “Parachute Payment”), that a nationally recognized United States public accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accountants”) determines, but for this sentence would be subject to excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), subject to clause (c) below, then the Company shall pay to the Grantee whichever of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in the Grantee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Parachute Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Parachute Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax: (1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Parachute Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Parachute Payment so that the Grantee receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”).
(b)If a reduction in the Parachute Payment is necessary pursuant to clause (a), then the reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) cancellation of acceleration of vesting on any equity awards for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value of the underlying equity; (2) reduction of cash payments (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); and (3) cancellation of acceleration of vesting of equity awards not covered under (1) above; provided, however, that in the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, acceleration of vesting of full value awards shall be cancelled before acceleration of options and stock appreciation rights and within each class such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such equity awards, that is, later equity awards shall be canceled before earlier equity awards; and provided, further, that to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A and Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, if a different reduction procedure would be permitted without violating Code Section 409A or losing the benefit of the reduction under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, the Grantee may designate a different order of reduction.
(c)For purposes of determining whether any of the Parachute Payments (collectively the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Accountants, such Total Payments (in
whole or in part): (1) do not constitute “parachute payments,” including giving effect to the recalculation of stock options in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 33, (2) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or (3) are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.
(d)All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants, which determinations shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Grantee.
(e)The federal tax returns filed by the Grantee (and any filing made by a consolidated tax group which includes the Company) shall be prepared and filed on a basis consistent with the determination of the Accountants with respect to the Excise Tax payable by the Grantee. The Grantee shall make proper payment of the amount of any Excise Tax, and at the request of the Company, provide to the Company true and correct copies (with any amendments) of his or her federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and such other documents reasonably requested by the Company, evidencing such payment (provided that the Grantee may delete information unrelated to the Parachute Payment or Excise Tax and provided, further that the Company at all times shall treat such returns as confidential and use such return only for purpose contemplated by this paragraph).
(f)In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Grantee shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Grantee but the Grantee shall control any other issues. In the event that the issues are interrelated, the Grantee and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Grantee shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Grantee, and the Grantee and his representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.
(g)The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountants.
(h)The Company and the Grantee shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this Exhibit A.
(i)Nothing in this Exhibit A is intended to violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to the extent that any advance or repayment obligation hereunder would do so, such obligation shall be modified so as to make the advance a nonrefundable payment to the Grantee and the repayment obligation null and void.
(j)Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or reimbursement made pursuant to this Exhibit A shall be paid to the Grantee promptly and in no event later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the related tax is paid by the Grantee or
where no taxes are required to be remitted, the end of the Grantee’s calendar year following the Grantee’s calendar year in which the audit is completed or there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation.
(k)The provisions of this Exhibit A shall survive the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason and the termination of the Award Agreement.
