Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of American Finance Trust, Inc. (“we” “our” or “us”), American Finance Advisors, LLC (our “Advisor”) and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
All of our executive officers are also officers, managers, employees or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in the Advisor or other entities under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, “AR Global”). As a result, our executive officers, the Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by the Advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other investment programs advised by affiliates of AR Global and conflicts in allocating time among these entities and us, which could negatively impact our operating results.
The trading price of our Class A common stock and 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), may fluctuate significantly.
Lincoln Retail REIT Services, LLC (“Lincoln”) and its affiliates, which provide services to the Advisor in connection with our retail portfolio, faces conflicts of interest in allocating its employees’ time between providing real estate-related services to the Advisor and other programs and activities in which they are presently involved or may be involved in the future.
The performance of our retail portfolio is linked to the market for retail space generally and factors that may impact our retail tenants, such as the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers.
Our rental revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants.
We may be unable to enter into and consummate property acquisitions on advantageous terms or our property acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
Provisions in our revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (our “Credit Facility”) may limit our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, our Series A Preferred Stock or any other equity interests we may issue.
We have not generated, and in the future may not generate, operating cash flows sufficient to fund all of the dividends we pay our stockholders, and, as such, we may be forced to fund dividends from other sources, including borrowings, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
We may be unable to pay or maintain cash dividends at the current rate or increase dividends over time.
We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to the Advisor and its affiliates.
Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general, and we are subject to risks associated with any dislocation or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in global financial markets, including the credit markets of the United States of America.
We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”), which would result in higher taxes, may adversely affect our operations and would reduce the value of an investment in our Series A Preferred Stock, Class A common stock and our cash available for dividends.
In addition, we describe risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially in “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K), “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” (Part II, Item 7A), and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” (Part II, Item 7).

PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
We were incorporated on January 22, 2013 as Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Our initial public offering closed in October 2013 and, on July 19, 2018, we listed our Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “AFIN.”
We are a diversified REIT focused on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution related commercial real estate properties in the U.S. We own a diversified portfolio of commercial properties comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of multi-tenant retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. We intend to focus our future acquisitions primarily on net leased service retail properties, defined as single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. Substantially all of our business is conducted through American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Pursuant to our advisory agreement with the Advisor, we have retained the Advisor to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. American Finance Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) serves as our property manager. The Advisor and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global, and these related parties of ours receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to managing our business. Lincoln and its affiliates provide services to the Advisor in connection with our multi-tenant retail properties that are not net leased. The Advisor has informed us that the Advisor has agreed to pass through to Lincoln a portion of the fees and other expense reimbursements otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates by us for services rendered by Lincoln. We are not a party to any contract with, and have no obligation to, Lincoln. For additional information on our advisory agreement with the Advisor, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Agreements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of December 31, 2019, we owned 819 properties, comprised of 18.5 million rentable square feet, which were 94.6% leased, including 786 single-tenant net leased commercial properties (748 of which are leased to retail tenants) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties. Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2019, the total single-tenant properties comprised 66.9% of our total portfolio and were 69.2% leased to service retail tenants, and the total multi-tenant properties comprised 33.1% of our total portfolio and were 49% leased to experiential retail tenants, defined as tenants in the restaurant, discount retail, entertainment, salon/beauty and grocery sectors, among others.
Common Stock Offerings
ATM Program Class A Common Stock
In May 2019, we established an “at the market” equity offering program for Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public up to $200.0 million in shares of Class A common stock, through sales agents. We sold 2,229,647 shares sold under the Class A Common Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $32.4 million and net proceeds of $31.6 million, after commissions paid and additional issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Preferred Stock Offerings
Underwritten Offerings Series A Preferred Stock
On March 26, 2019, we completed the initial issuance and sale of 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFINP.” The offering generated gross proceeds of $30.0 million and net proceeds of $28.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts paid by us.
On April 10, 2019, the underwriters in the offering exercised their option to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and we sold an additional 146,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which generated gross proceeds of $3.7 million and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts.
On September 9, 2019, we completed the issuance and sale of 3,450,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including 450,000 shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of its option to purchase additional shares in full) in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to $25.25 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $87.1 million and net proceeds of $83.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by us.
ATM Program Series A Preferred Stock
In May 2019, we established an “at the market” equity offering program for Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public, through sales agents, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million, which was subsequently increased to $100.0 million in October 4, 2019 as a result of us and the OP entering into a second amendment to the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 2,121,230 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $54.0 million and net proceeds of $53.2 million, after commissions paid of approximately $0.8 million.
Investment Objectives
We seek to preserve and protect capital, provide attractive and stable cash dividends and increase the value of our assets in order to generate capital appreciation by using the following strategies:
Retail Focused Portfolio, Including Single-Tenant Net Leased Properties — Acquiring freestanding single-tenant properties net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants, with a focus for future acquisitions primarily on service retail tenants;
Long-Term Leases — With respect to net leased properties, enter into long-term leases with minimum, non-cancelable lease terms of ten or more years;
Low Leverage — Finance our portfolio opportunistically (taking advantage of opportunities as they arise) at a target leverage level of not more than 45% loan-to-value. Loan to value ratio is a lending risk assessment ratio that is examined before approving a mortgage and is calculated by dividing the mortgage amount by the appraised value of the property; and
Diversified Portfolio — Assemble, manage and optimize a well-diversified portfolio based on geography, tenant diversity, lease expirations, and other factors.
In addition, we may, at our discretion, originate and acquire commercial real estate debt investments, or invest in commercial real estate securities.
Acquisition and Investment Policies
Primary Investment Focus
We own a diversified portfolio of commercial properties comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers.
Our investment objectives are (a) to provide current income for investors through the payment of cash dividends and (b) to preserve and return investors’ capital and to maximize risk-adjusted returns. We do not expect to make investments outside of the United States or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
There is no limitation on the number, size or type of properties that we may acquire. The number and mix of properties depend upon real estate market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time of acquisition of properties.

2


Investing in Real Property
We consider relevant real estate and financial factors when evaluating prospective investments in real property, including the location of the property, the leases and other agreements affecting it, the creditworthiness of its major tenants, its income-producing capacity, its physical condition, its prospects for appreciation, its prospects for liquidity, tax considerations and other factors. Our Advisor has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments, subject to board approval and any guidelines established by our board of directors.
The following table lists the tenants (including, for this purpose, all affiliates of such tenants) from which we derive annualized rental income on a straight-line basis constituting 5.0% or more of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis for all portfolio properties as of December 31, 2019:

Mountain Express

AmeriCold
 
5.0%
Acquisition Structure
To date, we have acquired fee interests (a “fee interest” is the absolute, legal possession and ownership of land, property, or rights) and leasehold interests (a “leasehold interest” is a right to enjoy the exclusive possession and use of an asset or property for a stated definite period as created by a written lease) in properties. We anticipate continuing to do so if we acquire properties in the future, although other methods of acquiring a property may be utilized if we deem it to be advantageous. For example, we may acquire properties through a joint venture or the acquisition of substantially all of the interests of an entity which in turn owns the real property.
International Investments
We do not intend to invest in real estate outside of the United States or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or make other real estate investments related to assets located outside of the United States.
Development and Construction of Properties
We do not intend to acquire undeveloped land, develop new properties, or substantially redevelop existing properties.
Joint Ventures
We may enter into joint ventures, partnerships and other co-ownership arrangements (including preferred equity investments) for the purpose of making investments. Some of the potential reasons to enter into a joint venture would be to acquire assets we could not otherwise acquire, to reduce our capital commitment to a particular asset, or to benefit from certain expertise that a partner might have. We do not have any of these arrangements as of December 31, 2019.
Our general policy is to invest in joint ventures only when we will have a right of first refusal to purchase the co-venturer’s interest in the joint venture if the co-venturer elects to sell such interest. If the co-venturer elects to sell property held in any such joint venture, however, we may not have sufficient funds to exercise our right of first refusal to buy the other co-venturer’s interest in the property held by the joint venture. If any joint venture with an affiliated entity holds interests in more than one property, the interest in each such property may be specifically allocated based upon the respective proportion of funds invested by each co-venturer in each such property.
Financing Strategies and Policies
We have and expect to continue to use debt financing, when necessary, for acquisitions, property improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other working capital needs. The form of our indebtedness for future financings will vary and could be long-term or short-term, secured or unsecured, or fixed-rate or floating rate. We will not enter into interest rate swaps or caps, or similar hedging transactions or derivative arrangements for speculative purposes but may do so in order to manage or mitigate our interest rate risks on variable rate debt. We have been able, and expect to continue to be able to secure various forms of fixed- and floating-rate debt financing, including financing secured by individual properties in our portfolio and corporate-level bank financing.
We will not borrow from our Advisor or its affiliates unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approves the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.

3


We may reevaluate and change our financing policies without a stockholder vote. Factors that we would consider when reevaluating or changing our debt policy include: then-current economic conditions, the relative cost and availability of debt and equity capital, our expected investment opportunities, the ability of our investments to generate sufficient cash flow to cover debt service requirements and other similar factors.
Mortgage Notes Payable
We have various mortgage loans outstanding, which are secured by our properties. Our mortgage loans typically bear a fixed rate of interest (see Note 5 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional detail on our mortgage loans.
Credit Facility
We have a revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO Bank”), as administrative agent. See Note 6 — Credit Facility to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional detail on our Credit Facility.
Tax Status
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurance that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Competition
The net leased property and retail real estate markets are highly competitive. We compete for tenants in all of our markets with other owners and operators of retail real estate. We compete based on various factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on the operating expenses of certain of our properties.
In addition, we compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment activities to locate suitable properties to acquire and to locate tenants and purchasers for our properties. These competitors include Global Net Lease, Inc. (“GNL”), a REIT sponsored by an affiliate of AR Global, with an investment strategy similar to our investment strategy, other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, governmental bodies and other entities. There are also other REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours and others may be organized in the future. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than we have and generally may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants. In addition, we seek financing through similar channels as our competitors. Therefore, we compete for financing in a market where funds for real estate investment may decrease.
Competition from these and other third-party real estate investors may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us. It also may result in higher prices, lower yields and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms.
Regulations - General
Our investments are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.
Regulation - Environmental
As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be

4


acquired directly or indirectly in the future. We hire third parties to conduct Phase I environmental reviews of the real property that we intend to purchase.
Employees
As of December 31, 2019, we had no employees. The employees of the Advisor and its affiliates perform a full range of real estate services for us, including acquisitions, property management, accounting, legal, asset management, and investor relations services.
We are dependent on these companies for services that are essential to us, including asset acquisition decisions, property management and other general administrative responsibilities. In the event that any of these companies were unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to provide such services ourselves or obtain such services from other sources.
Available Information
We electronically file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports, and proxy statements, with the SEC. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Internet address located at www.sec.gov. The website contains reports, proxy statements and information statements, and other information, which you may obtain free of charge. In addition, copies of our filings with the SEC may be obtained at www.americanfinancetrust.com. Access to these filings is free of charge. We are not incorporating our website or any information from the website into this Form 10-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Set forth below are the risk factors that we believe are material to our investors. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our shares.

Risks Related to Our Properties and Operations
We may be unable to enter into contracts for and complete property acquisitions on advantageous terms or our property acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
Our goal is to grow through acquiring additional properties, and pursuing this investment objective exposes us to numerous risks, including:
competition from other real estate investors with significant capital resources;
we may acquire properties that are not accretive;
we may not successfully manage and lease the properties we acquire to meet our expectations or market conditions may result in future vacancies and lower-than expected rental rates;
we may be unable to obtain debt financing or raise equity required to fund acquisitions on favorable terms, or at all;
we may need to spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
agreements for the acquisition of properties are typically subject to customary conditions to closing that may or may not be completed, and we may spend significant time and money on potential acquisitions that we do not consummate;
the process of acquiring or pursuing the acquisition of a new property may divert the attention of our management team from our existing operations; and
we may acquire properties without recourse, or with only limited recourse, for liabilities, whether known or unknown.
We rely upon our Advisor and the real estate professionals employed by affiliates of our Advisor to identify suitable investments, but there can be no assurance that our Advisor will be successful in doing so on financially attractive terms or that our objectives will be achieved. If our Advisor is unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay dividends, and we may not be able to meet our investment objectives.
The trading prices of our Class A common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may fluctuate significantly.
The trading prices of our Class A common stock and Series A Preferred Stock may be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, and they are impacted by various factors, many of which are outside our control. Among the factors that could affect these trading prices are:
our financial condition and performance;
our ability to grow through property acquisitions, the terms and pace of any acquisitions we may make and the availability and terms of financing for those acquisitions;

5


the financial condition of our tenants, including tenant bankruptcies or defaults;
actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
the amount and frequency of our payment of dividends;
additional sales of equity securities, including Class A common stock or Series A Preferred Stock, or the perception that additional sales may occur;
the reputation of REITs and real estate investments generally and the attractiveness of REIT equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, and fixed income debt securities;
our reputation and the reputation of AR Global and its affiliates or other entities advised by AR Global and its affiliates;
uncertainty and volatility in the equity and credit markets;
fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates;
changes in revenue or earnings estimates, if any, or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;
failure to meet analyst revenue or earnings estimates;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
the extent of investment in our shares by institutional investors;
the extent of short-selling of our shares;
general financial and economic market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for REITs and other real estate related companies;
failure to maintain our REIT status;
changes in tax laws;
domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance; and
all other risk factors addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Moreover, although shares of Series A Preferred Stock are listed on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the trading volume for shares will provide sufficient liquidity for holders to sell their shares at the time of their choosing or that the trading price for shares will equal or exceed the price paid for the shares. Because the shares of Series A Preferred Stock carry a fixed dividend rate, the trading price in the secondary market will be influenced by changes in interest rates and will tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. In particular, an increase in market interest rates may result in higher yields on other financial instruments and may lead purchasers of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to demand a higher yield on their purchase price, which could adversely affect the market price of those shares.

We depend on our Advisor and Property Manager to provide us with executive officers, key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations and our operating performance may be impacted by any adverse changes in the financial health or reputation of our Advisor.
We have no employees. Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with our Advisor and its affiliate, our Property Manager. We depend on our Advisor and our Property Manager to manage our operations and to acquire and manage our portfolio of real estate assets.
Thus, our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain of our executive officers and other key personnel of our Advisor and its affiliates, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., our chairman and chief executive officer, and Katie P. Kurtz, our chief financial officer. Neither our Advisor nor any of its affiliates has an employment agreement with these key personnel, and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, of these individuals will remain employed by our Advisor or one of its affiliates and otherwise available to continue to perform services for us. If any of our key personnel were to cease their affiliation with our Advisor, our operating results, business and prospects could suffer. Further, we do not maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our success depends, in large part, upon the ability of our Advisor to hire, retain or contract for services of highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for skilled personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that our Advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining skilled personnel. If our Advisor loses or is unable to obtain the services of key personnel, our Advisor’s ability to manage our business and implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of an investment in shares of our stock may decline.

On March 8, 2017, the creditor trust established in connection with the bankruptcy of RCS Capital Corp. (“RCAP”), which prior to its bankruptcy filing was under common control with our Advisor, filed suit against AR Global, our Advisor, advisors of other entities sponsored by AR Global, and AR Global’s principals (including Mr. Weil).  The suit alleges, among other things, certain breaches of duties to RCAP. We are neither a party to the suit, nor are there allegations related to the services our Advisor provides to us. Our Advisor has informed us that it believes the suit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. On May 26, 2017, the defendants moved to dismiss. On November 30, 2017, the court issued an opinion partially granting the defendants’ motion. On December 7, 2017, the creditor trust moved for limited reargument of the court's partial dismissal of its breach of fiduciary duty claim, and on January 10, 2018, the defendants filed a supplemental motion to dismiss certain claims. On April 5, 2018, the court issued an opinion denying the creditor trust's motion for reconsideration while partially granting the defendants' supplemental motion to dismiss. On November 5, 2018, the defendants moved for leave to amend their answers and for partial summary judgment on certain of the claims at issue in the case. On January 18, 2019, the defendants requested that the scheduling order governing the case be modified to bifurcate liability and damages issues for discovery purposes and trial. On February 6, 2019, the court withheld determination of this motion, instructing the parties to engage in further consultation and renew the issue if necessary. After further consultation, the parties resolved the issue without the need for bifurcation. Discovery is currently underway. Also, on February 6, 2019, the creditor trust opposed the motion for leave to amend their answers and for partial summary judgment on certain of the claims at issue in the case. On April 4, 2019, the court granted defendants’ motion for leave to amend and denied defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment.
Any adverse changes in the financial condition or financial health of, or our relationship with, our Advisor, including any change resulting from an adverse outcome in any litigation, including the litigation described above, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. Additionally, changes in ownership or management practices, the occurrence of adverse events affecting our Advisor, or its affiliates or other companies advised by our Advisor or its affiliates could create adverse publicity and adversely affect us and our relationship with lenders, tenants or counterparties.
In addition, our Advisor has engaged Lincoln as an independent service provider to provide real estate-related services to our Advisor with respect to our multi-tenant retail properties. Subject to the oversight of our Advisor, Lincoln performs asset management, property management and leasing services with respect to those properties. Our Advisor has informed us that our Advisor has agreed to pass through to Lincoln a portion of the fees and expense reimbursements otherwise payable to our Advisor or its affiliates by us for services rendered by Lincoln. While we have no direct obligation to Lincoln, we do depend on Lincoln to provide us, indirectly through our Advisor, with services, and, therefore, any adverse changes in the financial condition or financial health of Lincoln, or in our Advisor’s relationship with Lincoln, could adversely affect us. In addition, Lincoln and its affiliates face conflicts of interest in allocating its employees’ time between providing real estate-related services to our Advisor and other programs and activities in which they are presently involved or may be involved in the future.
If we are not able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing acquisitions, we may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends on a regular basis on our Class A common stock, our Series A Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock we may issue in the future. Decisions regarding the frequency and amount of any future dividends we pay on our Class A common stock will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of our board of directors, which reserves the right to change our dividend policy at any time and for any reason. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock must be paid upon redemption of those shares.
Pursuant to our Credit Facility and subject to limited exceptions, we may not pay distributions, including cash dividends on equity securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of our MFFO (as defined in our Credit Facility, which is different from AFFO as disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for the applicable period.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future and maintain compliance with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility depends on our ability to operate profitably and to generate sufficient cash flows from the operations of our existing properties and any properties we may acquire. There can be no assurance that we will complete acquisitions on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. If we fail to do so (and we are not otherwise able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and other distributions), our ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we might be required to reduce the amount of dividends we pay. During the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, we relied on an exception under our Credit Facility permitting us to pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 110% of MFFO for each of those fiscal quarters. We will not be able to rely on this exception again without seeking consent from the lenders under our Credit Facility. We are also permitted to pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 105% of MFFO for any applicable period if, as of the last day of the period, we are able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility

7


of not less than $60.0 million. We relied on this exception for the two applicable periods since this exception became effective following an amendment to the Credit Facility in November 2019 - the two consecutive fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 and the three consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2019. We also expect we will rely on this exception in future periods. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to rely on this exception or that the lenders will consent to any additional amendments to our Credit Facility.
Our cash flows provided by operations were $105.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid dividends of $121.8 million, which includes payments to holders of our Class A common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and distributions to holders of units of limited partnership designated as LTIP Units (“LTIP Units”) and holders of units of limited partnership designated as Class A Units (“Class A Units”). Of these payments to holders of our Class A common stock $105.6 million, or 86.7% was funded from cash flows provided by operations and $16.2 million, or 13.3% was funded from available cash on hand, consisting of proceeds from financings and sales of real estate investments. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may have to reduce the amount of dividends we pay or identify other financing sources. There can be no assurance that other sources will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Further, to the extent we continue to rely on the exception to the restriction on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility that requires us to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us will be limited. Funding dividends from borrowings restricts the amount we can borrow for property acquisitions and investments. Using proceeds from the sale of assets or the issuance of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or other equity securities to fund dividends rather than invest in assets will likewise reduce the amount available to invest. Funding dividends from the sale of additional securities could also dilute our stockholders.
Our business and operations could suffer if our Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations experiences system failures or cyber incidents or a deficiency in cybersecurity.
The internal information technology networks and related systems of our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations are vulnerable to damage from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by these disruptions.
As reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to those systems. Our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations must continuously monitor and develop their networks and information technology to prevent, detect, address and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, and social engineering, such as phishing. We are continuously working, including with the aid of third party service providers, to install new, and to upgrade existing, network and information technology systems, to create processes for risk assessment, testing, prioritization, remediation, risk acceptance, and reporting, and to provide awareness training around phishing, malware and other cyber risks to ensure that our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations are protected against cyber risks and security breaches and that we are also therefore so protected. However, these upgrades, processes, new technology and training may not be sufficient to protect us from all risks. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques and technologies used in attempted attacks and intrusions evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. In some cases attempted attacks and intrusions are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.
The remediation costs and lost revenues experienced by a subject of an intentional cyberattack or other event which results in unauthorized third party access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information may be significant and significant resources may be required to repair system damage, protect against the threat of future security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm, loss of revenues and litigation, caused by any breaches. Additionally, any failure to adequately protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, or to take appropriate action in cases of infringement may result in significant penalties under privacy law.
Furthermore, a security breach or other significant disruption involving the information technology networks and related systems of our Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations could:
result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines and/or missed permitting deadlines;
affect our ability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;
result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information (including information about tenants), which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

8


result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;
require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;
subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or
adversely impact our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.
Although our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations intend to continue to implement industry-standard security measures, there can be no assurance that those measures will be sufficient, and any material adverse effect experienced by our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations could, in turn, have an adverse impact on us.
We may in the future acquire or originate commercial real estate debt or invest in commercial real estate-related securities, which would expose us to additional risks.
We may in the future acquire or originate mortgage debt loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), preferred equity and other higher-yielding structured debt and equity investments. Doing so would expose us not only to the risks and uncertainties we are currently exposed to through our direct investments in real estate but also to additional risks and uncertainties attendant to investing in and holding these types of investments, such as:
risk of defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness and to other impairments of our loans and investments;
increased competition from entities engaged in mortgage lending and, or investing in our target assets;
deterioration in the performance of properties securing our investments may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments and, potentially, principal losses to us;
fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads could reduce our ability to generate income on our loans and other investments;
difficulty in redeploying the proceeds from repayments of our existing loans and investments;
the illiquidity of certain of these investments;
lack of control over certain of our loans and investments;
the potential need to foreclose on certain of the loans we originate or acquire, which could result in losses additional risks, including the risks of the securitization process, posed by investments in CMBS and other similar structured finance investments, as well as those we structure, sponsor or arrange;
use of leverage may create a mismatch with the duration and interest rate of the investments that we financing;
risks related to the operating performance or trading price volatility of any publicly-traded and private companies primarily engaged in real estate businesses we invest in; and
the need to structure, select and more closely monitor our investments such that we continue to maintain our qualification as a REIT and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties, and these conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could adversely affect our investment opportunities.
We rely on our Advisor and the executive officers and other key real estate professionals at our Advisor to identify suitable investment opportunities for us. Several of these individuals are also the executive officers or key real estate professionals at AR Global and other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global. Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global. For example, GNL seeks, like us, to invest in sale-leaseback transactions involving single tenant net-leased commercial properties, in the U.S and we are party to an investment opportunity allocation agreement with GNL pursuant to which each opportunity to acquire one or more domestic office or industrial properties will be presented first to GNL, and each opportunity to acquire one or more domestic retail or distribution properties will be presented first to us. However, there can be no assurance the executive officers and real estate professionals at our Advisor will not direct attractive investment opportunities for which we do not have contractual priority to GNL, or other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global.
We and other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global also rely on these executive officers and other real estate professionals to supervise the property management and leasing of properties. These individuals, as well as AR Global, as

9


an entity, are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any business or from possessing interests in other businesses and ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, development, ownership, leasing or sale of real estate investments.
Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures, which could result in a disproportionate benefit to the other venture partners at our expense and adversely affect the return on our stockholders’ investments.
We may enter into joint ventures with other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties. Our Advisor may have conflicts of interest in determining which entity advised by affiliates of AR Global enters into any particular joint venture agreement. The co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, our Advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the affiliated co-venturer and in managing the joint venture. Due to the role of our Advisor and its affiliates, agreements and transactions between the co-venturers with respect to any joint venture will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers, which may result in the co-venturer receiving benefits greater than the benefits that we receive. In addition, we may assume liabilities related to the joint venture that exceeds the percentage of our investment in the joint venture.
Our Advisor, AR Global and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our operating results to suffer.
Our Advisor, AR Global and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel and their respective affiliates are key personnel, general partners and sponsors of other entities, including entities advised by affiliates of AR Global, having investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and may have other business interests as well. Because these entities and individuals have competing demands on their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.
All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our Advisor and our Property Manager face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in entities related AR Global, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy.
All of our executive officers, and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our Advisor and Property Manager are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interests in our Advisor, our Property Manager or other entities under common control with AR Global. In addition, all of our executive officers and some of our directors serve in similar capacities for other entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor. As a result, they have duties to each of these entities, which duties could conflict with the duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from (a) allocation of investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (b) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor, (c) investments with entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor, (d) compensation to our Advisor and (e) our relationship with our Advisor and our Property Manager. Conflicts of interest may hinder our ability to implement our business strategy, and, if we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate the cash needed to pay dividends to our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.
If we internalize our management functions, we would be required to pay a substantial internalization fee and would not have the right to retain our executive officers or other personnel of our Advisor who currently manage our day-to-day operations.
We may engage in an internalization transaction and become self-managed in the future. If we internalize our management functions, under the terms of our advisory agreement with our Advisor we would be required to pay a substantial internalization fee to our Advisor. We also would not have any right to retain our executive officers or other personnel of our Advisor who currently manage our day to day operations. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from most effectively managing our investments, which could result in litigation and resulting associated costs in connection with the internalization transaction.
We may be unable to terminate our advisory agreement, even for poor performance by our Advisor.
We have limited rights to terminate our Advisor. Our advisory agreement with our Advisor does not expire until April 29, 2035, is automatically extended for successive 20-year terms upon expiration and may only be terminated under limited circumstances. The limited termination rights of our advisory agreement will make it difficult for us to renegotiate the terms of our advisory agreement or replace our Advisor even if the terms of our advisory agreement are no longer consistent with the terms generally available to externally-managed REITs for similar services.

10


Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the structure of the compensation it may receive.
Under the advisory agreement, the Advisor is entitled to substantial minimum compensation regardless of performance as well as incentive compensation, and under the multi-year outperformance award agreement (the “2018 OPP”) we entered into with the Advisor in connection with the listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq (the “Listing”), the Advisor is entitled to earn LTIP Units. In addition, the variable portion of the base management fee payable to the Advisor under the advisory agreement increases proportionately with the cumulative net proceeds from the issuance of common, preferred or other forms of equity by us. See Note 11 —Related Party Transactions and Arrangements and Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These arrangements, coupled with the fact that the Advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us, may result in the Advisor taking actions or recommending investments that are riskier or more speculative than an advisor with a more significant investment in us might take or recommend.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
The limit on the number of shares a person may own may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of our capital stock or more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our Class A common stock.
We have a classified board, which may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors. At each annual meeting, directors of one class are elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. The classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all our assets) that might result in a premium price for our stockholders.
Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired and may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or
an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.
A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. The business combination statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination

11


involving our Advisor or any affiliate of our Advisor. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and our Advisor or any affiliate of our Advisor. As a result, our Advisor and any affiliate of our Advisor may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the super-majority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, is the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors or officer or other employees to us or our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of Maryland law, our charter or our bylaws, or (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders with respect to us, our directors, our officers or our employees. This choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is favorable.  Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions.
Maryland law limits the ability of a third-party to buy a large stake in us and exercise voting power in electing directors, which may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by any person. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
Our board of directors may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of our stockholders’ investments.
Our board of directors may change our investment policies in its sole discretion. The methods of implementing our investment policies also may vary, as new real estate development trends emerge and new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of our stockholders’ investments could change without their consent.
We may issue additional equity securities in the future.
Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 350,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2019, we had the following stock issued and outstanding: (i) 108,475,266 shares of Class A common stock; and (ii) 6,917,230 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Subject to the approval rights of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock regarding authorization or issuance of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, our board of directors, without approval of our common stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock, or the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock, or may classify or reclassify any unissued shares without obtaining stockholder approval and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the stock.
All of our authorized but unissued shares of stock may be issued in the discretion of our board of directors. The issuance of additional shares of our Class A common stock could dilute the interests of the holders of our Class A common stock, and any issuance of shares of preferred stock senior to our Class A common stock, such as our Series A Preferred Stock, or any

12


incurrence of additional indebtedness, could affect our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock ranking equal or senior to our Series A Preferred Stock, including preferred stock convertible into shares of our Class A common stock, could dilute the interests of the holders of Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and any issuance of shares of preferred stock senior to our Series A Preferred Stock or incurrence of additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on our Series A Preferred Stock. These issuances could also adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock and our Series A Preferred Stock.
We may issue shares in public or private offerings in the future, including shares of our Class A common stock issued as awards to our officers, directors and other eligible persons, pursuant to the advisory agreement in payment of fees thereunder, pursuant to our DRIP or in connection with the Advisor earning LTIP Units pursuant to the 2018 OPP. LTIP Units are convertible into Class A Units after they have been earned and subject to several other conditions. We may also issue Class A Units to sellers of properties we acquire. We also may issue shares of our Class A common stock or Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to our existing at-the-market programs or any similar future program.
Because our decision to issue equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The issuance of additional equity securities could adversely affect stockholders.
The terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, and the terms other preferred stock we may issue, may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
The change of control conversion and redemption features of our Series A Preferred Stock may make it more difficult for a party to acquire us or discourage a party from seeking to acquire us. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will, under certain circumstances, have the right to convert some of or all their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our Class A common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration) and under these circumstances we will also have a special optional redemption right to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock. These features of our Series A Preferred Stock may have the effect of discouraging a third party from seeking to acquire us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our Class A common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests. We may also issue other classes or series of preferred stock that could also have the same effect.
Payment of fees to our Advisor and its affiliates reduces cash available for investment and dividends to our stockholders.
Our Advisor and its affiliates perform services for us in connection with the selection and acquisition of our investments, the management of our properties, and the administration of our investments. They are paid substantial fees for these services, which reduces the amount of cash available for investment in properties or dividends to stockholders.
We depend on our OP and its subsidiaries for cash flow and are structurally subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries.
We conduct, and intend to continue conducting, all of our business operations through our OP, and, accordingly, we rely on distributions from our OP and its subsidiaries to provide cash to pay our other obligations. There is no assurance that our OP or its subsidiaries will be able to, or be permitted to, pay distributions to us that will enable us to pay dividends to our stockholders and meet our obligations. Each of our OP’s subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from these entities. In addition, any claims we may have will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our OP and its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of our creditors or to pay dividends to our stockholders only after all the liabilities and obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries have been paid in full.
We indemnify our officers, directors, the Advisor and its affiliates against claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us, and our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our officers, directors, the Advisor and its affiliates are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporation’s best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, subject to certain limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, our charter provides that no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages and permits us to indemnify our directors and officers from liability and advance certain expenses to them in connection with claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us, and we are not restricted from indemnifying our Advisor or its affiliates on a similar basis. We have entered into indemnification agreements consistent with Maryland law and our charter with our directors and officers, certain former directors and officers, our Advisor and AR Global. We and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, and our Advisor and its affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce the recovery of our stockholders and our

13


recovery against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents or our Advisor and its affiliates in some cases. Subject to conditions and exceptions, we also indemnify our Advisor and its affiliates from losses arising in the performance of their duties under the advisory agreement and have agreed to advance certain expenses to them in connection with claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate
Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general, and we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our properties.
Our operating results and value of our properties are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:
changes in general, economic or local conditions;
changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;
changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage financing on favorable terms, or at all;
changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and
the possibility that one or more of our tenants will be unable to pay their rental obligations.
These and other risks may prevent us from being profitable or from realizing growth or maintaining the value of our real estate properties.
A major tenant, including a tenant with leases in multiple locations, may fail to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, or may choose not to renew its lease.
Our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we evaluate the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing available financial and other pertinent information, there can be no assurance that any tenant will be able to make timely rental payments or avoid defaulting under its lease. At any time, our tenants may experience an adverse change in their business. If any of our tenants’ businesses experience significant adverse changes, they may decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due, close a number of stores, exercise early termination rights (to the extent such rights are available to the tenant) or declare bankruptcy. If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.
If any of the foregoing were to occur, it could result in the termination of the tenant’s leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. If a lease is terminated or defaulted on, we may be unable to find a new tenant to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. Furthermore, the consequences to us would be exacerbated if one of our tenants with leases in multiple locations were to terminate or default on their leases. The occurrence of any of the situations described above would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition.
We rely significantly on four major tenants and therefore, are subject to tenant credit concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to those tenants.
As of December 31, 2019, the following major tenants (including, for this purpose, their affiliates) accounted for 5.0% or more of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:
Tenant
 
December 31, 2019
Truist Bank
 
6.9%
Sanofi US
 
6.4%
Mountain Express
 
5.0%
AmeriCold
 
5.0%
Therefore, a default or lease termination by any of these tenants could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. In addition, the value of our investment is historically driven by the credit quality of the underlying tenant, and an adverse change in either the tenant’s financial condition or a decline in the credit rating of the tenant may result in a decline in the value of our investments.

We are subject to tenant geographic concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to certain geographic areas.
As of December 31, 2019, properties concentrated in the following states accounted for annualized rental income on a straight-line basis equal to 5.0% or more of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:
State
 
December 31, 2019
Georgia
 
10.2%
Florida
 
7.2%
New Jersey
 
7.0%
North Carolina
 
6.9%
Ohio
 
6.4%
Alabama
 
5.5%
South Carolina
 
5.3%
As of December 31, 2019, our tenants operated in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Any adverse situation that disproportionately affects the states listed above may have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns, as they have been in the past, and we cannot predict how economic conditions will impact this market in both the short and long term.
Declines in the economy or a decline in the real estate market in these states could hurt our financial performance and the value of our properties. Factors that may negatively affect economic conditions in these states include:
business layoffs or downsizing;
industry slowdowns;
relocations of businesses;
changing demographics;
climate change;
increased telecommuting and use of alternative workplaces;
infrastructure quality;
any oversupply of, or reduced demand for, real estate;
concessions or reduced rental rates under new leases for properties where tenants defaulted; and
increased insurance premiums.
If a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.
Any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could become insolvent or be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code. A bankruptcy filing of our tenants or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations would result in a stay of all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their assets, unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. Post-bankruptcy debts would be required to be paid currently. If a lease is assumed by the tenant, all pre-bankruptcy balances owing under it must be paid in full. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim for damages. If a lease is rejected, it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant because our claim is capped at the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year or 15% of the remaining term of the lease, but not greater than three years, plus rent already due but unpaid as of the date of the bankruptcy filing (post-bankruptcy rent would be payable in full). This claim could be paid only if funds were available, and then only in the same percentage as that realized on other unsecured claims.
A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments that would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for dividends or other distributions to our stockholders. In the event of a bankruptcy, we cannot assure our stockholders that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease and that our cash flow and the amounts available for dividends or other distributions to our stockholders will not be adversely affected.
If a sale-leaseback transaction is recharacterized in a tenant’s bankruptcy proceeding, our financial condition and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected.
We have entered and may continue to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we purchase a property and then lease the same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as a sale-leaseback may be recharacterized as either a financing or a joint venture, and either type of recharacterization

16


could adversely affect our business. If the sale-leaseback were recharacterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result would have the status of a creditor. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If this plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we would be bound by the new terms. If the sale-leaseback were recharacterized as a joint venture, our lessee and we could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the lessee relating to the property.
Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.
We use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any sale-leaseback transaction we enter into so that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge this characterization. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to the property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
Properties may have vacancies for a significant period of time.
A property may have vacancies either due to the continued default of tenants under their leases or the expiration of leases. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to stockholders. In addition, because market values of properties depend principally upon the value of their leases, the resale value of properties with prolonged vacancies could decline significantly.
We generally obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would therefore have only limited recourse if our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, properties in “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant improvements or capital needs.
We may be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to retain existing tenants or attract new tenants. In addition, we are responsible for any major structural repairs, such as repairs to the foundation, exterior walls and rooftops at all of our properties. Accordingly, if we need additional capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we may have to obtain financing from sources such as borrowings, property sales or future equity offerings, to fund these capital requirements. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both.
We may be unable to sell a property when we desire to do so.
The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. In addition, as a REIT, our ability to sell properties that have been held for less than two years is limited as any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of such property could be subject to the 100% prohibited transaction tax, as discussed in more detail below.
We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property.

17


We have acquired or financed, and may continue to acquire or finance, properties with lock-out provisions which may prohibit us from selling a property or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
Lock-out provisions, such as the provisions contained in certain mortgage loans we have entered into, could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties, including by requiring the payment of a yield maintenance premium in connection with the required prepayment of principal upon sale, disposition or refinance. Lock-out provisions may also prohibit us from pre-paying the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties. Lock-out provisions could also impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that may otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, such as precluding us from participating in major transactions that would result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control.
Rising expenses could reduce cash flow.
The properties that we own or may acquire are subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. If any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds with respect to that property for operating expenses. Properties may be subject to increases in tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses. Our multi-tenant retail properties are not leased on a triple-net basis, therefore we are required to pay certain operating expenses (although we are reimbursed for others). Renewals of leases or future leases for our net lease properties may not be negotiated on a triple-net basis or on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of such expenses, in which event we may have to pay those costs. If we are unable to lease properties on a triple-net basis or on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of such expenses, or if tenants fail to pay required tax, utility and other impositions, we could be required to pay those costs.
Damage from catastrophic weather and other natural events and climate change could result in losses to us.
Certain of our properties are located in areas that may experience catastrophic weather and other natural events from
time to time, including hurricanes or other severe weather, flooding, fires, snow or ice storms, windstorms or, earthquakes.
These adverse weather and natural events could cause substantial damages or losses to our properties which could exceed
our insurance coverage. In the event of a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose our capital invested in the affected
property, as well as anticipated future revenue from that property. We could also continue to be obligated to repay any
mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our
business and our financial condition and results of operations.
To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur, we may experience extreme weather and changes in
precipitation and temperature and rising sea levels, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand
for properties located in these areas or affected by these conditions. Should the impact of climate change be material in
nature, including destruction of our properties, or occur for lengthy periods of time, our financial condition or results of
operations may be adversely affected.
In addition, changes in federal and state legislation and regulation on climate change could result in increased capital
expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties or to protect them from the consequence of climate
change.
We may suffer uninsured losses relating to real property or have to pay expensive premiums for insurance coverage.
Our general liability coverage, property insurance coverage and umbrella liability coverage on all our properties may not be adequate to insure against liability claims and provide for the costs of defense. Similarly, we may not have adequate coverage against the risk of direct physical damage or to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property. Moreover, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with such catastrophic events could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.
This risk is particularly relevant with respect to potential acts of terrorism. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “TRIA”), under which the U.S. federal government bears a significant portion of insured losses caused by terrorism, will expire on December 31, 2027, and there can be no assurance that Congress will act to renew or replace the TRIA following its expiration. In the event that the TRIA is not renewed or replaced, terrorism insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain at reasonable costs or at all, which may result in adverse impacts and additional costs to us.
Changes in the cost or availability of insurance due to the non-renewal of the TRIA or for other reasons could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent we must pay greater amounts for insurance due to changes in cost and availability, this could result in lower dividends to stockholders.

18


Additionally, mortgage lenders insist in some cases that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Accordingly, to the extent terrorism risk insurance policies are not available at reasonable costs, if at all, our ability to finance or refinance our properties could be impaired. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest or war may affect the markets in which we operate our business and our profitability.
We own properties in major metropolitan areas as well as densely populated sub-markets that are susceptible to terrorist attack. Because many of our properties are open to the public, they are exposed to a number of incidents that may take place within their premises and that are beyond our control or ability to prevent, which may harm our consumers and visitors. If an act of terror, a mass shooting or other violence were to occur, we may lose tenants or be forced to close one or more of our properties for some time. If any of these incidents were to occur, the relevant property could face material damage to its image and the revenues generated therefrom. In addition, we may be exposed to civil liability and be required to indemnify the victims, and our insurance premiums could rise, any of which could adversely affect us.
In addition, any kind of terrorist activity or violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could have a negative effect on our business and the value of our properties. More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy, including demand for properties and availability of financing. Increased economic volatility could adversely affect our tenants’ abilities to conduct their operations profitably or our ability to borrow money or issue capital stock at acceptable prices and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Real estate-related taxes may increase and, if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our cash available for dividends will be reduced.
Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property. Generally, from time to time our property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. There is no assurance that leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants would increase our expenses and could reduce our cash available for dividends.
Covenants, conditions and restrictions may restrict our ability to operate a property, which may adversely affect our operating costs.
Some of our properties are contiguous to other parcels of real property, comprising part of the same commercial center. In connection with such properties, there are significant covenants, conditions and restrictions restricting the operation of such properties and any improvements on such properties, and related to granting easements on such properties. Moreover, the operation and management of the contiguous properties may impact such properties. Compliance with covenants, conditions and restrictions may adversely affect our operating costs and reduce the amount of cash that we have available to pay dividends.
Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks.
We may acquire and develop properties upon which we will construct improvements. We will be subject to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups, and our builder’s ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs, and timetables. If a builder fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A builder’s performance also may be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builder’s control. Delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders before they complete construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and our return on our investment could suffer.
We may invest in unimproved real property. For purposes of this paragraph, “unimproved real property” does not include properties acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating income, properties under development or construction, and properties under contract for development or in planning for development within one year. Returns from development of unimproved properties are also subject to risks associated with re-zoning the land for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups. If we invest in unimproved property other than property we intend to develop, our stockholders’ investments will be subject to the risks associated with investments in unimproved real property.

19


Competition with third parties in acquiring properties and other investments may reduce our profitability and the return on our stockholders’ investments.
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs real estate limited partnerships, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments, our profitability will be reduced and our stockholders may experience a lower return on their investments.
Our properties face competition for tenants.
Our properties face competition for tenants. The number of competitive properties could have a material effect on our ability to rent space at our properties and the amount of rents we are able to charge. We could be adversely affected if additional competitive properties are built in locations competitive with our properties, causing increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants. This type of competition could also require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made in order to retain tenants, and these expenditures could affect the amount of cash available for distributions.
We may incur significant costs to comply with governmental laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters.
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge a property as collateral for future borrowings.
Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Additionally, our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.
State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we monitor these laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including obtaining environmental assessments of most properties that we acquire; however, we do not obtain an independent third-party environmental assessment for every property we acquire. In addition, any assessment that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities or reveal that a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition unknown to us. We may incur significant costs to defend against claims of liability, comply with environmental regulatory requirements, remediate any contaminated property, or pay personal injury claims.
If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
In some instances, we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. In these cases, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could negatively impact our cash dividends to stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our stockholders, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon the sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders.
Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of co-venturers and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
We may enter into joint ventures, partnerships and other co-ownership arrangements (including preferred equity investments) for the purpose of making investments. In such event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the joint venture. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or

20


fail to fund their required capital contributions. Co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the co-venturer would have full control over the joint venture. Disputes between us and co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-venturers.
Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may affect cash available for dividends.
Our properties are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“Disabilities Act”). Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties, or, in some cases, an award of damages. A determination that our properties do not comply with the Disabilities Act could result in liability for both governmental fines and damages. If we are required to make unanticipated major modifications to any of our properties to comply with the Disabilities Act which are determined not to be the responsibility of our tenants, we could incur unanticipated expenses that could have an adverse impact upon our financial resources, including cash available to pay dividends.
Market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. and global economies may adversely impact aspects of our operating results and operating condition.
Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. and global economies. These conditions may materially affect the commercial real estate industry, the businesses of our tenants and the value and performance of our properties, and may affect our ability to pay dividends, and the availability or the terms of financing that we have or may anticipate utilizing. Challenging economic conditions may also impact the ability of certain of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. Specifically, global market and economic challenges may have adverse consequences, including:
decreased demand for our properties due to significant job losses that occur or may occur in the future, resulting in lower rents and occupancy levels;
an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay or preclude our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases;
widening credit spreads as investors demand higher risk premiums, resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing;
reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, slow real estate transaction activity, a reduction the loan-to-value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend, and difficulty refinancing our debt;
a decrease in the market value of our properties, which may limit our ability to obtain debt financing secured by our properties;
a need for us to establish significant provisions for losses or impairments; and
reduction in the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for such investments.
Changes in the debt markets could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition.
The domestic and international commercial real estate debt markets are subject to volatility, resulting in, from time to time, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies and reductions in the availability of financing. If our overall cost of borrowings increases, either due to increases in the index rates or due to increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of future acquisitions. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns. If there is a disruption in the debt markets, our ability to borrow monies to finance the purchase of, or other activities related to, our real estate assets may be negatively impacted.
If we are unable to borrow monies on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, our ability to purchase properties or meet other capital requirements may be limited, and the return on the properties we do purchase may be lower. In addition, we may find it difficult, costly or impossible to refinance maturing indebtedness.
Furthermore, the state of the debt markets could have an impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets and could negatively impact the value of our assets.
The credit profile of our tenants may create a higher risk of lease defaults and therefore lower revenues.

21


Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2019, 18.4% of our single-tenant portfolio and 62.7% of our anchor tenants in our multi-tenant portfolio are not evaluated or ranked by credit rating agencies, or are ranked below "investment grade," which includes both actual investment grade ratings of the tenant and “implied investment grade,” which includes ratings of the tenant’s parent (regardless of whether or not the parent has guaranteed the tenant’s obligation under the lease) or lease guarantor. “Implied investment grade” ratings are also determined using a proprietary Moody’s analytical tool, which compares the risk metrics of the non-rated company to those of a company with an actual rating. Of our “investment grade” tenants for our single-tenant portfolio, 46.0% have actual investment grade ratings and 35.6% have “implied investment grade” ratings. Of our “investment grade” tenants for our anchor tenants in the multi-tenant portfolio, 23.4% have actual investment grade ratings and 13.9% have “implied investment grade” ratings.
Our long-term leases with certain of these tenants may therefore pose a higher risk of default than would long-term leases with tenants who have investment grade ratings.
Net leases may not result in fair market lease rates over time.
The majority of our rental income is generated by net leases, which generally provide the tenant greater discretion in using the leased property than ordinary property leases, such as the right to freely sublease the property, to make alterations in the leased premises and to terminate the lease prior to its expiration under specified circumstances. Furthermore, net leases typically have longer lease terms and, thus, there is an increased risk that contractual rental increases in future years will fail to result in fair market rental rates during those years. As a result, our income and the amount of cash available to pay dividends to our stockholders could be lower than they would otherwise be if we did not engage in net leases.
Moreover, inflation could erode the value of long-term leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions.
Risks Related to Retail Properties
Retail conditions may adversely affect our income and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
A substantial amount of our rental income is generated by retail properties, some of which are subject to net leases. The market for retail space has been and could be adversely affected by weaknesses in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, changes in consumer preferences and spending, excess amounts of retail space in a number of markets and competition for tenants in the markets, as well as the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers. Customer traffic to these shopping areas may be adversely affected by the closing of stores in the same multi-tenant property, or by a reduction in traffic to these stores resulting from a regional economic downturn, a general downturn in the local area where our property is located, or a decline in the desirability of the shopping environment of a particular retail property.
A retail property’s revenues and value may also be adversely affected by the perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the retail property. Many of our multi-tenant properties, such as shopping centers and malls, are open to the public and any incidents of crime or violence would result in a reduction of business traffic to tenant stores in our properties. Any such incidents may also expose us to civil liability. In addition, to the extent that the investing public has a negative perception of the retail sector, the value of our Class A common stock may be negatively impacted.
The majority of our leases provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases. Our portfolio also includes some leases with a percentage rent clause for additional rent above the base amount based upon a specified percentage of the sales our tenants generate. Under those leases which contain percentage rent clauses, our revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of our tenants increase. Generally, retailers face declining revenues during downturns in the economy. As a result, the portion of our revenue which we may derive from percentage rent leases could be adversely affected by a general economic downturn.
We are subject to risks related to our multi-tenant retail properties.
We own a portfolio of 33 multi-tenant retail properties that are not subject to net leases representing 33.1% of our annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2019. Multi-tenant retail properties are subject to increased risk relating to the operation and management of the property, including:
risks affecting the retail industry generally;
the reliance on anchor tenants; and
competition with other retail channels, including e-commerce.
In addition, because our multi-tenant retail properties are not net leased, we bear certain costs and expenses of these properties, as opposed to net leased properties that require tenants to bear all, or substantially all, of the costs and expenses of the properties.
Competition with other retail channels may reduce our profitability.
Our retail tenants face changing consumer preferences and increasing competition from other forms of retailing, such as e-commerce, discount shopping centers, outlet centers, upscale neighborhood strip centers, catalogues and other forms of direct marketing, discount shopping clubs and telemarketing. Other retail centers within the market area of our multi-

22


tenant retail properties also compete with our properties for customers, affecting their tenant cash flows and thus affecting their ability to pay rent. In addition, in some cases our leases may require tenants to pay rent based on the amount of sales revenue that they generate. If these tenants experience competition, the amount of their rent may decrease and cash flows will decrease.
A shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may have an adverse impact on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
Many retailers operating brick and mortar stores have made online sales a vital piece of their business. There can be no assurance that our strategy of building a diverse portfolio focused on properties leased to service retail and experiential retail tenants, to better insulate us from the effects online commerce has had on some retail operators that lease space in properties like ours, will be successful. The shift to online shopping may nonetheless cause declines in brick and mortar sales generated by certain of our tenants and may cause certain of our tenants to reduce the size or number of their retail locations in the future. As a result, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire and require us to undertake unbudgeted capital improvements, which could harm our operating results.
We may compete for tenants with respect to the renewal of leases and re-letting of space as leases expire. Any competitive properties that are developed close to our existing properties also may impact our ability to lease space to creditworthy tenants. Increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements may negatively impact our financial position. Also, to the extent we are unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, it would result in decreased cash flow from tenants and reduce the income produced by our properties. Excessive vacancies (and related reduced shopper traffic) at one of our properties may hurt sales of other tenants at that property and may discourage them from renewing leases.
Several of our properties may rely on tenants who are in similar industries or who are affiliated with certain large companies, which would magnify the effects of downturns in those industries, or companies and have a disproportionate adverse effect on the value of our investments.
Certain tenants of our properties are concentrated in certain industries or retail categories and we have a large number of tenants that are affiliated with certain large companies. As a result, any adverse effect to those industries, retail categories or companies generally would have a disproportionately adverse effect on our portfolio. As of December 31, 2019, the following industries had concentrations of properties representing 5.0% of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:

Our revenue is impacted by the success and economic viability of our anchor retail tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space.
Any anchor tenant, which we define as a tenant that occupy over 10,000 square feet of one of our multi-tenant properties, or a tenant that is an anchor tenant at more than one of our multi-tenant properties, may become insolvent, may suffer a downturn in its business, or may decide not to renew its lease. Any of these events would result in a reduction or cessation in rental payments to us. A lease termination by an anchor tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if another tenant’s lease is terminated. We own properties where the tenants may have rights to terminate their leases if certain other tenants are no longer open for business. These “co-tenancy” provisions also may exist in some leases where we own a portion of a retail property and one or more of the anchor tenants lease space in that portion of the center not owned or controlled by us. If these tenants were to vacate their space, tenants with co-tenancy provisions would have the right to terminate their leases or seek a rent reduction. Even if co-tenancy rights do not exist, other tenants may experience downturns in their businesses that could threaten their ongoing ability to continue paying rent and remain solvent. In such event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space. Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant, or the bankruptcy, insolvency or downturn in business of any of our anchor tenants, could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. Many expenses associated with properties (such as operating expenses and capital expenses) cannot be reduced when there is a reduction in income from the properties. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the retail center.
If an anchor tenant vacates its space for any reason and we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant, we may incur additional expenses in order to remodel the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant. There can be no assurance that any re-leasing of a vacated space, either to a single new anchor tenant or to more than one tenant, will be on comparable terms to the prior lease, which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for dividends.

Risks Related to Debt Financing
Our level of indebtedness may increase our business risks.
As of December 31, 2019, we had total gross outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.7 billion. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future for various purposes. The amount of this indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for us, including:
hindering our ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions;
limiting our ability to access the capital markets to raise additional equity or debt on favorable terms or at all, whether to refinance maturing debt, to fund acquisitions, to fund dividends or for other corporate purposes;
limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, distributions, stock repurchases or other uses; and
making us more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases.
In most instances, we acquire real properties by using either existing financing or borrowing new funds. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge the underlying property as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties or for other corporate purposes. We may also borrow if we need funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we generally distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. We also may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT.
If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, then we must identify other sources to fund the payment or risk defaulting on the indebtedness. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss because defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of our stockholders’ investments. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. In this event, we may be unable to pay the amount of distributions required in order to maintain our REIT status. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. If we provide a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for repaying the debt if it is not paid by the entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon

24


due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected which could result in our losing our REIT status.
The Credit Facility, and certain of our other indebtedness, contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pay distributions and otherwise limit our operating flexibility.
The Credit Facility (as defined herein) contains various customary operating covenants, including a restricted payments covenant that limits our ability to declare or pay dividends or other distributions on, or to purchase or redeem, any of our equity interests, with certain permitted exceptions as well as covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of liens, investments, fundamental changes, agreements with affiliates and changes in the nature of our business. The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants with respect to maximum consolidated leverage, maximum consolidated secured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, maximum other recourse debt to total asset value, and minimum net worth. Certain of our other indebtedness, and future indebtedness we may incur, contain or may contain similar restrictions. These or other restrictions may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment and operating objectives.
Increases in mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, mortgage debt. We run the risk of being unable to refinance our mortgage loans when they come due or we otherwise desire to do so on favorable terms, or at all. If interest rates are higher when the properties are refinanced, we may not be able to refinance the properties and we may be required to obtain equity financing to repay the mortgage or the property may be subject to foreclosure.
Increasing interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends, and we may be adversely affected by uncertainty surrounding the LIBOR.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, variable-rate debt. Increases in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would increase our interest cost. If we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we may need to sell one or more of our investments in properties even though we would not otherwise choose to do so.
As of December 31, 2019, approximately 20% of our $1.7 billion in total gross outstanding debt was variable-rate debt indexed to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and not fixed by swap. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (which regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR may be limited or discontinued or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. We are monitoring and evaluating the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is limited or discontinued and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. In some instances, transitioning to an alternative rate may require negotiation with lenders and other counterparties and could present challenges. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, we anticipate that we will either utilize the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or negotiate a replacement reference rate for LIBOR with the lenders.
The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted and could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that time. This could occur, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate would be accelerated or magnified. Any of these events, as well as the other uncertainty surrounding the transition to LIBOR, could adversely affect us.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks
Our failure to remain qualified as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax and potentially state and local tax, and would adversely affect our operations and the market price of our shares.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013 and intend to operate in a manner that would allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S federal income tax purposes. However, we may terminate our REIT qualification, if our board of directors determines that not qualifying as a REIT is in the best interests of our stockholders, or inadvertently. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. We have structured and intend to continue structuring our activities in a manner designed to satisfy all the requirements to qualify as a REIT. However, the REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex and interpretation of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT is limited. Furthermore, any opinion of our counsel, including tax counsel, as to our eligibility to remain qualified as a REIT is not binding on the IRS and is not a guarantee that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in operating so we can remain qualified as a REIT. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends on our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. Our compliance with the REIT income or quarterly asset requirements also depends on our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, if certain of our operations were to be recharacterized by the IRS, such recharacterization would jeopardize our ability to satisfy all requirements for qualification as a REIT. Furthermore, future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT.
If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate rate. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT qualification. Losing our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distributions to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, amounts paid to stockholders that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes would no longer qualify for the dividends paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Even as a REIT, in certain circumstances, we may incur tax liabilities that would reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Even as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. For example, net income from the sale of properties that are “dealer” properties sold by a REIT and that do not meet a safe harbor available under the Code (a “prohibited transaction” under the Code) will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. Similarly, if we were to fail an income test (and did not lose our REIT status because such failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect), we would be subject to tax on the income that does not meet the income test requirements. We also may decide to retain net capital gains we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal income tax returns and seek a refund of such tax. We also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income. We also may be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, including franchise, payroll and transfer taxes, either directly or at the level of our OP or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets, such as our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to full U.S. federal, state, local and foreign corporate-level income taxes. Any taxes we pay directly or indirectly will reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
To qualify as a REIT, we must meet annual distribution requirements, which may force us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions. This could delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce our stockholders’ overall return.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we make with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. These requirements could cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on investments in real estate assets and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, possibly at unfavorable rates, or sell assets to fund these distributions. Although we intend to make distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements and to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our earnings while we qualify as a REIT, it is possible that we might not always be able to do so.
Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.

26


We use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any sale-leaseback transaction we enter into so that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure our stockholders that the IRS will not challenge this characterization. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to the property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax.
For so long as we qualify as a REIT, our ability to dispose of property during the first few years following acquisition may be restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT qualification. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, while we qualify as a REIT and provided we do not meet a safe harbor available under the Code, we will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on the net income from the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) that we own, directly or indirectly through any subsidiary entity, including our OP, but generally excluding taxable REIT subsidiaries, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We intend to avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax by (1) conducting activities that may otherwise be considered prohibited transactions through a taxable REIT subsidiary (but such taxable REIT subsidiary will incur corporate rate income taxes with respect to any income or gain recognized by it), (2) conducting our operations in such a manner so that no sale or other disposition of an asset we own, directly or indirectly through any subsidiary, will be treated as a prohibited transaction or (3) structuring certain dispositions of our properties to comply with the requirements of the prohibited transaction safe harbor available under the Code for properties that, among other requirements, have been held for at least two years. Despite our present intention, no assurance can be given that any particular property we own, directly or through any subsidiary entity, including our OP, but generally excluding taxable REIT subsidiaries, will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.
Our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to corporate-level taxes and our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be subject to a 100% excise tax.
A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A corporation of which a taxable REIT subsidiary directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Overall, no more than 20% (25% for our taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018) of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. A taxable REIT subsidiary may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT, including gross income from operations pursuant to management contracts. Accordingly, we may use taxable REIT subsidiaries generally to hold properties for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business or to hold assets or conduct activities that we cannot conduct directly as a REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax on its taxable income. However, our taxable REIT subsidiary may be subject to limitations on the deductibility of its interest expense. In addition, the Code imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
If our OP failed to qualify as a partnership or is not otherwise disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.
If the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of our OP as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our OP would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the OP could make to us. This also would result in our failing to qualify as a REIT, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our income. This substantially would reduce our cash available to pay distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which our OP owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership and is otherwise not disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the partnership or limited liability company would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the OP. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain our REIT qualification.

27


We may choose to make distributions in our own stock, in which case our stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of the cash portion of distributions they receive.
In connection with our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order to satisfy this requirement, we may make distributions with respect to our common stock that are payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock (which could account for up to 80% of the aggregate amount of such distributions) at the election of each stockholder. Taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, U.S. stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of the cash portion of the distribution received. Accordingly, U.S. stockholders receiving a distribution of our shares may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other stock or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock that it receives as part of the distribution in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution, depending on the market price of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to certain non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distribution, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock, by withholding or disposing of part of the shares included in such distribution and using the proceeds of such disposition to satisfy the withholding tax imposed. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
The taxation of distributions can be complex; however, amounts paid to stockholders that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable as ordinary income, which may reduce our stockholders’ after-tax return from an investment in us.
Amounts that we pay to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will be taxable as ordinary income. Noncorporate stockholders are entitled to a 20% deduction with respect to these ordinary REIT dividends which would, if allowed in full, result in a maximum effective federal income tax rate of 29.6% (or 33.4% including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income); however, the 20% deduction will end after December 31, 2025.
However, a portion of the amounts that we pay to our stockholders may (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us, (2) be designated by us as qualified dividend income, taxable at capital gains rates, generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or (3) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the tax basis of a stockholder’s investment in our shares. Amounts paid to our stockholders that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and a stockholder’s tax basis in our shares generally will be taxable as capital gain.
Our stockholders may have tax liability on distributions that they elect to reinvest in common stock, but they would not receive the cash from such distributions to pay such tax liability.
If our stockholders participate in our DRIP, they will be deemed to have received, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. In addition, our stockholders will be treated for tax purposes as having received an additional distribution to the extent the shares are purchased at a discount to fair market value. As a result, unless a stockholder is a tax-exempt entity, it may have to use funds from other sources to pay its tax liability on the value of the shares of common stock received.
Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
Currently, the maximum tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 23.8%, including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for this reduced rate and, as described above, through December 31, 2025, will be subject to an effective rate of 33.4%, including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income. Although this does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our shares. Tax rates could be changed in future legislation.

28


Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction we enter into to manage risk of interest rate changes, price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets or in certain cases to hedge previously acquired hedges entered into to manage risks associated with property that has been disposed of or liabilities that have been extinguished, if properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations, does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions will likely be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a taxable REIT subsidiary. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our taxable REIT subsidiaries would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in a taxable REIT subsidiary generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward against future taxable income of such taxable REIT subsidiary.
Complying with REIT requirements may force us to forgo or liquidate otherwise attractive investment opportunities.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must ensure that we meet the REIT gross income tests annually and that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and certain kinds of mortgage-related securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than securities that qualify for the 75% asset test and securities of qualified REIT subsidiaries and taxable REIT subsidiaries) generally cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer or 5% of the value of our assets as to any one issuer. In addition, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries and no more than 25% of our assets may consist of publicly offered REIT debt instruments that do not otherwise qualify under the 75% asset test. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate assets from our portfolio or not make otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may subject us to U.S. federal income tax and reduce distributions to our stockholders.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. While we intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we may terminate our REIT election if we determine that qualifying as a REIT is no longer in our best interests. If we cease to be a REIT, we would become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income (as well as any applicable state and local corporate tax) and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which may have adverse consequences on our total return to our stockholders and on the market price of our shares.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could increase our tax liability, reduce our operating flexibility and reduce the market price of our shares.
Changes to the tax laws may occur, and any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with an independent tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares.
Although REITs generally receive better tax treatment than entities taxed as non-REIT “C corporations,” it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-REIT “C corporation.” As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a non-REIT “C corporation,” without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has duties to us and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines that such changes are in our best interest.

29


The share ownership restrictions for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in our shares of stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.
In order to qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code, may not own, actually or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding shares of stock at any time during the last half of each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. Attribution rules in the Code determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively owns our shares of stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our shares of stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. To help ensure that we meet these tests, among other purposes, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of our shares of stock.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT while we so qualify. Unless exempted by our board of directors, for so long as we qualify as a REIT, our charter prohibits, among other limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, any person from beneficially or constructively owning (applying certain attribution rules under the Code) more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock and more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our shares of stock. Our board of directors may not grant an exemption from these restrictions to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit would result in the termination of our qualification as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply, however, if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions is no longer required in order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT.
These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our shares or otherwise be in the best interest of the stockholders.
Non-U.S. stockholders will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on distributions received from us and upon the disposition of our shares.
Subject to certain exceptions, amounts paid to non-U.S. stockholders will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Such dividends ordinarily will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless the dividends are treated as “effectively connected” with the conduct by the non-U.S. stockholder of a U.S. trade or business. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”), capital gain distributions attributable to sales or exchanges of “U.S. real property interests” (“USRPIs”), generally will be taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder as if such gain were effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. However, a capital gain distribution will not be treated as effectively connected income if (a) the distribution is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the U.S. and (b) the non-U.S. stockholder does not own more than 10% of any class of our stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date the distribution is received.
Gain recognized by a non-U.S. stockholder upon the sale or exchange of our shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless such stock constitutes a USRPI under FIRPTA. Our shares will not constitute a USRPI so long as we are a “domestically-controlled qualified investment entity.” A domestically-controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT if at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of such REIT’s stock is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. stockholders. We believe, but there can be no assurance, that we will be a domestically-controlled qualified investment entity.
Even if we do not qualify as a domestically-controlled qualified investment entity at the time a non-U.S. stockholder sells or exchanges our shares, gain arising from such a sale or exchange would not be subject to U.S. taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a USRPI if: (a) the shares are of a class of our stock that is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury regulations, on an established securities market, and (b) such non-U.S. stockholder owned, actually and constructively, 10% or less of our outstanding shares of that class at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale.
Potential characterization of distributions or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt investors.
If (a) we are a “pension-held REIT,” (b) a tax-exempt stockholder has incurred (or is deemed to have incurred) debt to purchase or hold our shares, or (c) a holder of our shares is a certain type of tax-exempt stockholder, dividends on, and gains recognized on the sale of, shares by such tax-exempt stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Code.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
On January 13, 2017, four affiliated stockholders of RCA filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland a putative class action lawsuit against us, American Realty Capital — Retail Centers of America, Inc. (“RCA”), Edward M. Weil, Jr., Leslie D. Michelson, Edward G. Rendell (Weil, Michelson and Rendell, the “Director Defendants”), and AR Global, alleging violations of Sections 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by RCA and the Director Defendants, violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by AR Global and the Director Defendants, breaches of fiduciary duty by the Director Defendants, and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty by AR Global and us in connection with the negotiation of and proxy solicitation for a shareholder vote on what was at the time proposed merger of RCA with and into one of our wholly owned subsidiaries and merger of American Realty Capital Retail Operating Partnership, L.P. with and into the OP (together, the “Merger”) and an amendment to RCA’s charter.  The complaint sought on behalf of the putative class rescission of the Merger, which was voted on and approved by RCA stockholders on February 13, 2017, and closed on February 16, 2017, together with unspecified rescissory damages, unspecified actual damages, and costs and disbursements of the action. RCA was sponsored and advised by affiliates of the Advisor. On April 26, 2017, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff, along with other stockholders of RCA, filed an amended complaint on June 19, 2017. The amended complaint named additional individuals and entities as defendants (David Gong, Stanley Perla, Lisa Kabnick, all of whom were independent directors of ours at the time of the Merger which closed on February 16, 2017 (“Additional Director Defendants”), Nicholas Radesca, our chief financial officer at the time of the Merger, and RCA’s advisor), added counts alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement for the proposed merger, under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, and counts for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. We, in addition to RCA, the Director Defendants, the Additional Director Defendants and Nicholas Radesca deny wrongdoing and liability and intend to vigorously defend the action. On August 14, 2017, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 29, 2018, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the amended complaint. On April 26, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the court’s order. On March 11, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court dismissing the complaint. On March 25, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc, which was subsequently denied on April 9, 2019. Due to the stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonable possible losses are determinable at this time. No provisions for such losses have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017.
On February 8, 2018, Carolyn St. Clair-Hibbard, a purported stockholder of ours, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against us, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch and William M. Kahane. On February 23, 2018, the complaint was amended to, among other things, assert some claims on the plaintiff’s own behalf and other claims on behalf of herself and other similarly situated shareholders of ours as a class. On April 26, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 25, 2018, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges that the proxy materials used to solicit stockholder approval of the Merger at our 2017 annual meeting were materially incomplete and misleading. The complaint asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act against us, as well as control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under 20(a). It also asserts state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, and claims for aiding and abetting such breaches, of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, AR Global and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, rescission of our advisory agreement (or severable portions thereof) which became effective when the Merger became effective, and a declaratory judgment that certain provisions of our advisory agreement are void. We believe the second amended complaint is without merit and intend to defend vigorously. On June 22, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. On August 1, 2018, plaintiff filed an opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss. Defendants filed reply papers on August 22, 2018, and oral argument was held on September 26, 2018. On September 23, 2019, the Court granted defendants’ motions and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff has appealed that order. Appellate briefing is ongoing and oral argument on the appeal is not yet scheduled. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On October 26, 2018, Terry Hibbard, a purported stockholder of ours, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against us, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick.  The complaint alleges that the registration statement pursuant to which RCA shareholders acquired shares of our common stock during the Merger contained materially
incomplete and misleading information.  The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong, and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against us and Mr. Weil, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under Section 15 of the Securities Act.  The complaint seeks unspecified damages and rescission of our sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement. We believe the complaint is without merit and intend to defend vigorously. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On March 6, 2019, Susan Bracken, Michael P. Miller and Jamie Beckett, purported stockholders of ours, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, on behalf of themselves and others who purchased shares of our common stock through our then effective distribution reinvestment plan, against us, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick. The complaint alleges that the April and December 2016 registration statements pursuant to which class members purchased shares contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against us, Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against us and Mr. Weil, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and either rescission of our sale of stock or rescissory damages. We believe the complaint is without merit and intend to defend vigorously. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On April 30, 2019, Lynda Callaway, a purported stockholder of ours, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against us, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick. The complaint alleges that the registration statement pursuant to which plaintiff and other class members acquired our shares during the Merger contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against us, Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong, and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against us and Mr. Weil, and control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and rescission of our sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On July 11, 2019, the New York State Supreme Court issued an order consolidating the three above-mentioned cases: Terry Hibbard, Bracken, and Callaway (the “Consolidated Cases”). The Court also stayed the Consolidated Cases pending a decision on the motions to dismiss in the St. Clair-Hibbard litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Following a federal court’s decision on the motions to dismiss in the St. Clair-Hibbard litigation, on October 31, 2019 plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint in the Consolidated Cases seeking substantially similar remedies from the same defendants. The Company moved to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on December 16, 2019. The briefing with respect to the motion to dismiss is ongoing and the Court has not yet ruled on the motion.
There are no other material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against us.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred legal costs related to the above litigation of approximately $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. A portion of these litigation costs are subject to a claim for reimbursement under the insurance policies maintained by the Company, and during the year ended December 31, 2019, reimbursements of $2.3 million were received and recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company may receive additional reimbursements in the future.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Market Information
Our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AFIN” as of July 19, 2018. Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total stockholder return on our Class A common stock, based on the market price of Class A common stock, with the FTSE National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Equity Index ("NAREIT"), Modern Index Strategy Indexes ("MSCI"), and the Nasdaq Index for the period commencing July 19, 2018, the date on which we listed our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq and ending December 31, 2019. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on July 19, 2018 with the reinvestment of dividends.

CHART-28AEC80F8B0153BCA42.JPG
Holders
As of February 20, 2020, we had 108.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding held by a total of 8,894 stockholders of record.
Dividends
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements.
The amount of dividends payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our Credit Facility or other agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time prior to dividends being declared. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock must be paid upon redemption of those shares. Therefore, dividend payments are not assured. For further information on provisions in our Credit Facility that restrict the payment of dividends and other distributions, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors – If we are not able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends, including through additional cash flows we expect to generate from completing acquisitions, we may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels” and Note 6 — Credit Facility to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Dividends to Common Stockholders
Since August 2018, we have paid dividends on our common stock on a monthly basis at an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share per month. We generally pay dividends on the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to common stock holders of record on the applicable record date.
Dividends to Series A Preferred Stockholders
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first quarterly dividend payment date for the Series A Preferred Stock was made on July 15, 2019 and it represented an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from March 26, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Equity-Based Compensation
Prior to the Listing, our board of directors had adopted an employee and director restricted share plan (the “RSP”). Effective on July 19, 2018 (the “Listing Date”), our board of directors adopted an equity plan for the Advisor (the “Advisor Plan”) and an equity plan for individuals (the “Individual Plan” and together with the Advisor Plan, the “2018 Equity Plan”). The 2018 Equity Plan succeeded and replaced the existing RSP. Also, we have granted an award of LTIP Units to the Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP under the Advisor Plan.
The following table sets forth information regarding securities authorized for issuance under the 2018 Equity Plan and the 2018 OPP as of December 31, 2019:

These LTIP Units may be earned by the Advisor based on our achievement of threshold, target or maximum performance goals based on our absolute and relative total stockholder return over a performance period commencing on July 19, 2018 and ending on the earliest of (i) July 19, 2021, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as our advisor. LTIP Units earned as of the last day of the performance period will also become vested as of that date. Effective as of that same date, any LTIP Units that are not earned will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by us. For additional information on the 2018 OPP, please see Note 13 Share-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

[2] 
We have the Advisor Plan and the Individual Plan which we refer to together as the 2018 Equity Plan. The Advisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Participation in the Individual Plan is open to our directors, officers and employees (if we ever have employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to us, certain consultants to us and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. By contrast, participation in the Advisor Plan is only open to the Advisor. The number of shares that may be subject to awards under the 2018 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 10.0% of our outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis at any time. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan will reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa. As of December 31, 2019, we had 108,475,266 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis, and 4,686,978 shares of Class A common stock had been issued under or were subject to awards under the 2018 Equity Plan (including unearned LTIP Units). For additional information on the 2018 Equity Plan, please see Note 13 — Share-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this report for a description of these risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We were incorporated on January 22, 2013 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Our initial public offering closed in October 2013 and, on July 19, 2018, we listed our Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFIN.” In March 2019, we listed shares of Series A Preferred Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFINP”.
We are a diversified REIT focused on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution related commercial real estate properties in the U.S. We own a diversified portfolio of commercial properties comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of multi-tenant retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. We intend to focus our future acquisitions primarily on net leased service retail properties, defined as single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. As of December 31, 2019, we owned 819 properties, comprised of 18.5 million rentable square feet, which were 94.6% leased, including 786 of single-tenant net leased commercial properties (748 which are retail properties) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties. Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2019, the total single-tenant properties comprised 66.9% of our total portfolio and were 69.2% leased to service retail tenants, and the total multi-tenant properties comprised 33.1% of our total portfolio and were 49% leased to experiential retail tenants, defined as tenants in the restaurant, discount retail, entertainment, salon/beauty and grocery sectors, among others. Substantially all of our business is conducted through American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We have no employees. Pursuant to our advisory agreement with the Advisor, we have retained the Advisor to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Property Manager serves as our property manager. The Advisor and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global, and these related parties of ours receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to managing our business. Lincoln and its affiliates provide services to the Advisor in connection with our multi-tenant retail properties that are not net leased. The Advisor has informed us that the Advisor has agreed to pass through to Lincoln a portion of the fees and other expense reimbursements otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates by us for services rendered by Lincoln. We are not a party to any contract with, and have no obligation to, Lincoln. For additional information on our advisory agreement with the Advisor, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Agreements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, which include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. As of December 31, 2019, these leases had an average remaining lease term of nine years. Because many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rents receivable that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. When we acquire a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease modification is executed. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. Pursuant to certain of the Company’s lease agreements, tenants are required to reimburse the Company for certain property operating expenses, in addition to paying base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Under ASC 842, the Company has elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For comparative purposes, the Company has also elected to reflect prior revenue and reimbursements reported under ASC 842 also on a single line. For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under both ASC 842 and 840, the Company has reflected them on a net basis.

42


We own certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, we defer the recognition of contingent rental income, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. For the year ended December 31, 2019, approximately $0.9 million in contingent rental income is included in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rents receivable and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under the new leasing standard (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion),we are required to assess, based on credit risk only, if it is probable that we will collect virtually all of the lease payments at lease commencement date and it must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are no longer permitted. If we determine that it’s probable it will collect virtually all of the lease payments (rent and common area maintenance), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if we determine that it’s not probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and a full reserve would be recorded on previously accrued amounts in cases where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating revenue from tenants beginning on January 1, 2019, in accordance with new accounting rules, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
Under ASC 842, uncollectable amounts are reflected as reductions in revenue. Under ASC 840, we recorded such amounts as bad debt expense as part of property operating expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, such amounts were $2.9 million, $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
At the time an asset is acquired, we evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of the asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. See the Purchase Price Allocation section below for a discussion of the initial accounting for investments in real estate.
Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. We evaluate probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had one and seven properties classified as held for sale, respectively, (see Note 4 — Real Estate Investments, Net to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information).
As more fully discussed in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ASU No. 2016-02 Leases to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, all of our leases as lessor prior to adoption were accounted for as operating leases and will continue to be accounted for as operating leases under the transition guidance. We will evaluate new leases originated after the adoption date (by us or by a predecessor lessor/owner) pursuant to the new guidance where a lease for some or all of a building is classified by a lessor as a sales-type lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership reside with the tenant. This situation is met if, among other things, there is an automatic transfer of title during the lease, a bargain purchase option, the non-cancelable lease term is for more than major part of remaining economic useful life of the asset (e.g., equal to or greater than 75%), if the present value of the minimum lease payments represents substantially all (e.g., equal to or greater than 90%) of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception, or if the asset so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor (and therefore would not provide any future value to the lessor) after the lease term. Further, such new leases would be evaluated to consider whether they would be failed sale-leaseback transactions and accounted for as financing transactions by the lessor. As of December 31, 2019, we have no leases as a lessor that would be considered as sales-type leases or financings under sale-leaseback rules.

We are also the lessee under certain land leases which were previously classified prior to adoption of lease accounting and will continue to be classified as operating leases under transition elections unless subsequently modified. These leases are reflected on the balance sheet and the rent expense is reflected on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Purchase Price Allocation
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as if vacant basis. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued noncontrolling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. All acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were asset acquisitions. During 2017, prior to our adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), all our acquisitions, including the Merger, were accounted for as business combinations.
For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (including those acquired in the Merger) and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. We utilize various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, discount rates, fair market lease rates, and land values per square foot.
Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases as applicable. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 24 months. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we review the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, we would recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss recorded would equal the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment

44


We had no goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2019 and $1.6 million of goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2018. We are required to assess whether goodwill is impaired, which requires us to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually or when other market events or circumstances occur that might indicate that goodwill is impaired. We performed our annual assessment in December 2018 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Given fluctuations in the market price of the Class A common stock, we performed a reassessment as of June 30, 2019, which included the assessment of relevant metrics such as estimated carrying and fair market value of our real estate and market-based factors. Based on these assessments, we determined that goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the components of our real estate investments for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on our results from operations because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our real estate investments, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower earnings on an annual basis.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
The value of customer relationship intangibles, if any, is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
Above and Below-Market Lease Amortization
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of revenue from tenants over the remaining terms of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from tenants over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below-market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.
Equity-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based award plan for our directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for these stock awards is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such award is included in equity-based compensation, recognized in accordance with the service period (i.e., vesting) required or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.
Effective at the Listing, we entered into the 2018 OPP with the Advisor under which LTIP Units were issued to the Advisor. These awards are market-based awards with a related required service period. We early adopted ASU 2018-07 at issuance. Accordingly, LTIP Units were valued at their measurement date and that value is reflected as a charge to earnings evenly over the service period. Further, in the event of a modification, any incremental increase in the value of the instrument measured on the date of the modification both before and after the modification, will result in an incremental amount to be reflected prospectively as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. The expense for these non-employee awards is included in the equity-based compensation line item of the consolidated statements of operations.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate portfolio. NOI is equal to revenue from tenants less property operating expense. NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net loss attributable to stockholders. We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unlevered basis. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional disclosure and a reconciliation to our net loss attributable to stockholders.
Revenue from Tenants
Revenue from tenants increased $8.5 million to $299.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $291.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase in revenue from tenants was primarily due to incremental rental income from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2018 of $28.3 million, partially offset by decreases from our Disposals Since January 1, 2018 of $19.7 million. The 2018-2019 Same Store Revenue from tenants was impacted by the recording of a termination fee, net of related adjustments, as a result of us entering into a termination agreement with a tenant at one of our multi-tenant properties. The termination agreement required the tenant to pay us a termination fee of approximately $8.0 million. As a result we recorded termination income, net, of $7.6 million revenue from tenants during the year ended December 31, 2019 which was offset with decrease of the 2018-2019 Same Store revenue from tenants as a result of lower multi-tenant occupancy as compared to the results in prior year. We have entered into multiple leases to replace the tenant, with payment of rent on these replacement leases expected to commence during the quarters ending June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.
Property Operating Expenses

46


Property operating expenses primarily consist of the costs associated with maintaining our properties including real estate taxes, utilities, and repairs and maintenance. Property operating expense decreased $1.4 million to $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $2.8 million from our Disposals Since January 1, 2018 offset by an increase in our 2018-2019 Same Store properties of $0.6 million and $0.9 million from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2018.
Other Results of Operations
Asset Management Fees to Related Party
Asset management fees paid to the Advisor increased $2.6 million to $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in the fixed portion of the base management fee from $21.0 million annually to $22.5 million annually on February 17, 2018 and to $24.0 million annually on February 17, 2019, as well as an increase in the variable portion of the fee which increased as a result of our equity issuances. The variable portion of the base management fee is calculated on a monthly basis and is equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by us (including, among other things, common stock, preferred stock and certain convertible debt but excluding among other things, equity based compensation) from and after February 16, 2017, the effective date of the advisory agreement. The variable portion of the base management fee will increase in connection with future issuances of equity securities. Please see Note 11Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on fees incurred from the Advisor.
Impairment Charges
We incurred $0.8 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $0.7 million related to an impairment charge recorded on one property when it was classified as held for use and subsequently sold in 2019, as the carrying amount of the long-lived assets associated with this property was greater than our estimate of its fair value. The remaining $0.1 million of impairment charges were recorded upon classification of properties as assets held for sale during the year ended December 31, 2019, to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal.
We incurred $21.1 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2018. This amount is comprised of impairment charges of $11.0 million, which were recorded upon reclassification of 25 properties (20 leased to Truist Bank) to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $10.1 million, related to 12 properties (nine leased to Truist Bank) classified as held for use, as the carrying amount of the long-lived assets associated with these properties was greater than our estimate of their fair value based on an executed letter of intent (“LOI”) and purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”).
See Note 4 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Acquisition, Transaction and Other Costs
Acquisition, transaction and other costs related expense decreased $1.3 million to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was due to lower litigation costs of $0.6 million and lower acquisition and transaction related costs in the amount of $1.0 million offset with an increase in prepayment charges on mortgages related to our dispositions and refinancing of $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the prior year period. The prepayment charges on mortgages and refinancing were $4.5 million and $4.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Listing Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we paid approximately $5.0 million in fees associated with the Listing. Of this amount, approximately $4.0 million was paid to our financial advisor for the Listing.
Vesting and Conversion of Class B Units
During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a non-cash expense of $15.8 million related to the vesting and conversion of units of limited partnership of the OP designated as “Class B Units” (“Class B Units”). The vesting conditions relating to the Class B Units, which were previously issued to the Advisor, were fully satisfied upon completion of the Listing. The Class B Units were then converted into an equal number of Class A Units and redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock. For additional details on the Class B Units, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Equity-Based Compensation

47


During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $12.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively, relating to restricted shares granted to the members of our board of directors and the LTIP Units granted to our Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP associated with the Listing which represented only a portion of the annual expense in 2018 as the LTIP Units were granted on the Listing date in July 2018. For additional details on the 2018 OPP, see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense decreased $2.3 million to $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in transfer agent fees, as a result of change in transfer agent. Also, the decrease was due to lower general and administrative expense reimbursements to our Advisor, which decreased $0.4 million to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $15.2 million to $124.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $139.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Depreciation and amortization expense was impacted by decreases of $8.5 million from our Disposals Since January 1, 2018 and $17.1 million from our 2018-2019 Same Store properties due to fully depreciated assets, partially offset by an increase of $10.3 million from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2018.
Goodwill Impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we fully impaired the $1.6 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the completion of the Merger, as a result of fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock. This goodwill impairment charge recorded was based on the assessment of relevant metrics which included estimated carrying and fair market value of our real estate and market-based factors.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 25 properties which resulted in gains on sale. These properties sold for an aggregate contract price of $131.7 million, resulting in aggregate gains on sale of $23.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold 44 properties which resulted in gains on sale. These properties sold for an aggregate contract price of $161.5 million, resulting in aggregate gains on sale of $31.8 million. For additional information on real estate sales, see Note 4 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $11.2 million to $78.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $66.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is primarily related to a higher average balance on our revolving Credit Facility when compared to our prior credit facility, which was repaid with the proceeds from our Credit Facility in May 2018 as well as higher average mortgage notes payable in 2019. The increase is also due to higher amortization of deferred financing costs which were incurred in connection with the Credit Facility. Average outstanding balances on our Credit Facility was $286.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $150.9 million under our Credit Facility and prior credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, the increase is due to $1.5 million recorded as a result of the termination of interest rate swaps after repayment of certain mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The level of cash flows provided by or used in operating activities is affected by the rental income generated from leasing activity, including leasing activity due to acquisitions and dispositions, restricted cash we are required to maintain, the timing of interest payments, the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $105.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 included a net income of $4.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $117.1 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage premiums and discounts on borrowings, equity-based compensation, gain on sale of real estate investments and impairment charges. In addition, cash provided by operating activities was impacted by an increase in straight-line rent receivable of $9.5 million, the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.5 million and a decrease in deferred rent and other liabilities of $2.7 million.

48


Cash flows provided by operating activities of $95.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 included a net loss of $37.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $140.8 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage premiums on borrowings, share-based compensation, vesting and conversion of Class B Units, mark-to-market adjustments, gain on sale of real estate investments and impairment charges. In addition, the net increase in straight-line rent receivable and payable of $9.5 million and the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $4.1 million were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.7 million and an increase in deferred rent and other liabilities of $3.6 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $404.8 million consisted primarily of cash paid for investments in real estate and other assets of $428.9 million, capital expenditures of $13.7 million, partially offset by deposits for real estate investments of $3.0 million and cash received from the sale of real estate investments (net of mortgage loans repaid) of $34.8 million.
The net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 of $188.2 million consisted primarily of cash paid for investments in real estate and other assets of $241.8 million, capital expenditures of $10.4 million and deposits for real estate investments of $2.5 million, partially offset by cash received from the sale of real estate investments of $66.5 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities of $289.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted primarily of net proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $217.8 million, net proceeds received from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock of $169.0 million, net proceeds received from the issuance of Class A common stock of $31.6 million, net draw downs on our Credit Facility of $8.4 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to holders of Class A common stock of $117.1 million, cash dividends paid to holders of Series A Preferred Stock of $3.9 million, payments of financing costs of $10.8 million and prepayment charges on mortgages of $4.5 million.
The net cash provided by financing activities of $75.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 consisted primarily of proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $29.9 million and proceeds from the Credit Facility of $324.7 million, partially offset by payments of mortgage notes payable of $47.2 million, payments on our prior credit facility of $95.0 million, payments of deferred financing costs of $7.0 million, prepayment charges on mortgages of $4.2 million, common stock repurchases of $20.5 million and cash dividends of $104.8 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect to fund our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by our property operations, proceeds from shares issued through the DRIP and proceeds from our Credit Facility. We may also generate additional liquidity through property dispositions and, to the extent available, secured or unsecured borrowings, our Class A common stock ATM Program, our Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program or other offerings of debt or equity securities. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81.9 million and $91.5 million, respectively. To the extent we continue to rely on the exception to the restriction on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility that we have relied on for the last two quarters and expect to rely on in future periods (see “—Dividends” for further details), we will be required to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to any dividend payment and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million in order to continue paying dividends at our current rate, which could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us. Our principal demands for funds are for payment of our operating and administrative expenses, property acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations, cash dividends to our common and preferred stockholders and share repurchases, if any, as authorized by our board of directors.
Mortgage Notes Payable and Credit Facility
As of December 31, 2019, we had $1.3 billion of mortgage notes payable, net outstanding and $333.1 million outstanding under our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, our net debt to gross asset value ratio of 39.2%. We define net debt as the principal amount of our outstanding debt (excluding the effect of deferred financing costs, net and mortgage premiums and discounts, net) less cash and cash equivalents. Gross asset value is defined as total assets plus accumulated depreciation and amortization. As of December 31, 2019, the weighted-average interest rates on the mortgage notes payable and Credit Facility were 4.5% and 3.8%, respectively.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $3.8 billion in real estate investments, at cost and we had pledged approximately $2.5 billion of these real estate investments, at cost, as collateral for our mortgage notes payable. In addition, approximately $1.2 billion of these real estate investments, at cost, were included in the unencumbered asset pool comprising the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. Therefore, this real estate is only available to serve as collateral or satisfy other debts and obligations if it is first removed from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, which would reduce the amount available to us on the Credit Facility.

On December 18, 2019, certain of our subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement for a principal amount of $45.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 3.445% per annum. The loan requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in January 2030, and is secured by mortgage interests in four of our properties leased to Stop & Shop, three of which are located in the state of Massachusetts, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet. All of the proceeds of the loan were used to repay the individual mortgage loans that had encumbered each property. The loan permits the lender to securitize the loan or any portion thereof.
Net Lease Mortgage Notes
On May 30, 2019, certain of our subsidiaries completed the issuance of $242.0 million aggregate principal amount of Net Lease Mortgage Notes (the “Net Lease Mortgage Notes”) in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Net Lease Mortgage Notes were issued in two classes, Class A-1 (the “Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”) and Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”). The Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated AAA (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million with an anticipated repayment date in May 2026 and an interest rate of 3.78% per annum. The Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated A (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million with an anticipated repayment date in May 2029 and an interest rate of 4.46% per annum. As of December 31, 2019, $120.3 million in principal amount of Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes and $121.0 million in principal amount of Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes were outstanding. Please see Note 5 — Mortgage Notes Payable to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
As of December 31, 2019, the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes was comprised of 201 of our double- and triple-net leased single tenant properties that had been transferred to our subsidiaries that issued the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, together with the related leases and certain other rights and interests. The net proceeds from the sale of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes were used to repay $204.9 million in indebtedness related to 192 of the properties then in the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, and approximately $37.1 million of the remaining net proceeds were available to us for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions. At closing, we repaid mortgage notes of $29.9 million previously secured by 39 individual properties and repaid $175.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. We removed 153 of our properties from the borrowing base under our Credit Facility to serve as part of the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes in connection with this repayment and we added ten recently acquired properties to the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes.
Credit Facility - Terms and Capacity
On April 26, 2018, we repaid amounts outstanding on our prior credit facility and entered into our existing Credit Facility, which provides for commitments for aggregate revolving loan borrowings. Our Credit Facility includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, upon the request of the OP, but at the sole discretion of the participating lenders, the commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and certain customary conditions. As of December 31, 2019, we had increased our commitments through this accordion feature by $125.0 million, bringing total aggregate commitments to $540.0 million and leaving $375.0 million of potential increase remaining.
The amount available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility is based on the lesser of (1) a percentage of the value of the pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base, and (2) a maximum amount permitted to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio with respect to the borrowing base, in each case, as of the determination date. As of December 31, 2019, we had a total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $484.1 million based on the value of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. Of this amount, $333.1 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and $150.9 million remained available for future borrowings. As of December 31, 2018, $324.7 million was outstanding under our Credit Facility.
Our Credit Facility requires payments of interest only and matures on April 26, 2022. We also have a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread ranging from 0.60% to 1.20%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable spread ranging from 1.60% to 2.20%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio.
It is anticipated that LIBOR will only be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, we anticipate that we will either utilize the Base Rate or negotiate a replacement reference rate for LIBOR with the lenders. Please see “Increasing interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends, and we may be adversely affected by uncertainty surrounding the LIBOR”section in Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
Acquisitions and Dispositions — Year Ended December 31, 2019

50


One of our primary uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2019 has been for acquisitions of properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we acquired 218 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $428.9 million, including capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisitions of 53 of these properties for $63.5 million, including capitalized acquisition costs, were completed during the three months ended December 31, 2019. These acquisitions were funded through a combination of draws on the Credit Facility, proceeds from the issuance and sale of Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock (discussed below), proceeds from dispositions of properties (discussed below), and proceeds from the Net Lease Mortgage Notes.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 25 properties, for an aggregate contract price of $131.7 million, excluding disposition related costs, of which five properties were sold during the three months ended December 31, 2019 for an aggregate contract price of $16.3 million, excluding disposition related costs. In connection with sales made during the year ended December 31, 2019, we repaid approximately $94.9 million of mortgage debt and after all disposition related costs, net proceeds from these dispositions, classified as investing cash flows, were $34.8 million. In connection with the sales made during the three months ended December 31, 2019, we repaid approximately $6.3 million of mortgage debt and after all disposition related costs, net proceeds from these dispositions were $9.0 million.
Acquisitions and Dispositions — Subsequent to December 31, 2019
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, we purchased an additional two properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of $5.3 million. We also have entered into PSAs to acquire an additional 20 properties for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $44.7 million and an LOI to acquire an additional 32 properties for approximately $32.5 million. The PSAs are subject to conditions, and the LOI is non-binding. There can be no assurance we will complete any of these acquisitions on their contemplated terms, or at all. We anticipate using proceeds from future dispositions of properties, proceeds from borrowings (including borrowings under our Credit Facility) and net proceeds received from our Class A Common Stock ATM Program and Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program to fund the consideration required to complete these acquisitions.
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, we sold one property, with an aggregate contract sale price of $2.4 million. In connection with these sales, we repaid approximately $0.8 million of mortgage debt. We also have entered into PSAs to dispose of an additional four properties (all leased to Truist Bank), for an aggregate contract sale price of approximately $8.6 million and an LOI to dispose of one property for approximately $5.0 million. The PSAs are subject to conditions, and the LOIs are non-binding. There can be no assurance we will complete any of these dispositions on their contemplated terms, or at all.
Preferred Stock Underwritten Offerings
On March 26, 2019, we completed the initial issuance and sale of 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $30.0 million and net proceeds of $28.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by us.
On April 10, 2019, the underwriters in the offering exercised their option to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and we sold an additional 146,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which generated gross proceeds of $3.7 million and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts.
On September 9, 2019, we completed the issuance and sale of 3,450,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including 450,000 shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of its option to purchase additional shares in full) in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to $25.25 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $87.1 million and net proceeds of $83.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by us.
ATM Programs
In May 2019, we established the Class A Common Stock ATM Program pursuant to which we may sell up to $200.0 million in shares of Class A common stock, from time to time through our sales agents and the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program, pursuant to which, following a $50.0 million increase in the maximum aggregate offering amount in October 2019, we may sell up to $100.0 million in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, from time to time through our sales agents. We intend to use any net proceeds from these offerings for general corporate purposes, including funding property acquisitions, repaying outstanding indebtedness (including borrowings under our Credit Facility), and for working capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 2,229,647 shares under the Class A common stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $32.4 million and net proceeds of $31.6 million, after commissions paid and additional issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we sold 1,797,374 shares under the Class A common stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $26.4 million and net proceeds of $25.9 million, after commissions paid and additional issuance costs of approximately $0.5 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 2,121,230 shares under the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $54.0 million and net proceeds of $53.2 million, after commissions paid of approximately $0.8 million. During

51


the three months ended December 31, 2019, we sold 881,174 shares under the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $22.4 million and net proceeds of $22.1 million, after commissions paid of approximately $0.3 million.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repurchased 19,870 fractional shares of Class B-2 common stock in connection with the automatic conversion of all shares of Class B-2 common stock into shares of Class A common stock on January 9, 2019 at a price of $13.78 per share for a total of approximately $0.3 million, funded from cash on hand.
Authorized Repurchase Program
Effective at the Listing, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200.0 million of Class A common stock that we may implement from time to time through open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions based on our board of directors’ and management’s assessment of, among other things, market conditions prevailing at the particular time. We will have the ability to repurchase shares of Class A common stock up to this amount at our discretion, subject to authorization by our board of directors prior to any such repurchase. In accordance with the Credit Facility, in order for us to make payments required to fund certain share repurchases, which would include payments for this authorized repurchase program, we would be required to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40.0 million. See “—Dividends” for further details regarding other restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility. Accordingly, if we decided to purchase shares under this program, the ultimate amount repurchased would depend on the amount of cash and availability for future borrowings at that time. There have not been any purchases authorized, through open market purchases or otherwise, under this program through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Distribution Reinvestment Program
Our Pre-Listing DRIP was suspended on June 29, 2018 in anticipation of the Listing, and reinstated, amended and restated, effective on the Listing Date with the Post-Listing DRIP. Participants in the Pre-Listing DRIP prior to this amendment and restatement continued to be participants in the Post-Listing DRIP. Commencing with the dividend paid on August 3, 2018 (the first dividend paid following the Listing Date), our stockholders that have elected to participate in the Post-Listing DRIP may have dividends payable with respect to all or a portion of their shares of each class of our common stock reinvested in shares of Class A common stock. Shares issued pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP are, at our election, either (i) acquired directly from us, by issuing new shares, at a price based on the average of the high and low sales prices of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the date of reinvestment, or (ii) acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator at a price based on the weighted-average of the actual prices paid for all of the shares of Class A common stock purchased by the plan administrator with all participants’ reinvested dividends for the related quarter, less a per share processing fee. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, all shares acquired by participants pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP were acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator and not issued directly to stockholders by us.
Capital Expenditures and Construction in Progress
We invest in capital expenditures to enhance and maintain the value of our properties. We define revenue enhancing capital expenditures as improvements to our properties that we believe will result in higher income generation over time. Capital expenditures for maintenance are generally necessary, non-revenue generating improvements that extend the useful life of the property and are less frequent in nature. By providing this metric, we believe we are presenting useful information for investors that can help them assess the components of our capital expenditures that are expected to either grow or maintain our current revenue. Further detail related to our capital expenditures is as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section discusses the non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our performance, including Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) and NOI. While NOI is a property-level measure, AFFO is based on our total performance and therefore reflects the impact of other items not specifically associated with NOI such as, interest expense, general and administrative expenses and operating fees to related parties. Additionally, NOI as defined herein, does not reflect an adjustment for straight-line rent but AFFO does. A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly

52


comparable GAAP measure, which is net income(loss), is provided below. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to exclude the proportionate share of the non-controlling interest to arrive at FFO, AFFO and NOI attributable to stockholders.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a performance measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper and approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from sales of certain real estate assets, gain and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities (including our OP) and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates are made to arrive at our proportionate share of FFO attributable to our stockholders. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
In calculating AFFO, we start with FFO, then we exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider to be more reflective of investing activities, such as fees related to the Listing, non-cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our day to day operating business plan, such as amounts related to litigation arising out of the Merger. These amounts include legal costs incurred as a result of the litigation, portions of which have been and may in the future be reimbursed under insurance policies maintained by us. Insurance reimbursements are deducted from AFFO in the period of reimbursement. We believe that excluding the litigation costs and subsequent insurance reimbursements related to litigation arising out the Merger helps to provide a better understanding of the operating performance of our business. Other income and expense items also include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments and gains and losses on investments. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of above-market and below-market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent, vesting and conversion of the Class B Units and share-based compensation related to restricted shares and the 2018 OPP from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding those income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance.
In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income (loss). All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of our on-going performance. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income (loss). In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that can be used to better assess the sustainability

53


of our ongoing operating performance without the impact of transactions or other items that are not related to the ongoing performance of our portfolio of properties. AFFO presented by us may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs that define AFFO differently. Furthermore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to pay dividends.

FFO and AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes income from a lease termination fee of $7.6 million, which is recorded in Revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations. While such termination payments occur infrequently, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes and as such management believes they should be included in both FFO and AFFO, consistent with what we believe to be general industry practice.

Included in “Other income” in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
[4] 
Includes expense related to the amortization of restricted shares and LTIP Units, which were previously presented in separate lines within the table above.
[5] 
This is a non-cash item and is added back as it is not considered a part of operating performance.
Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate. NOI is equal to total revenues, excluding contingent purchase price consideration, less property operating and maintenance expense. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income (loss).
We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to assess and compare property level performance and to make decisions concerning the operation of the properties. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and acquisition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).
NOI excludes certain items included in calculating net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to pay dividends.

Dividends
Since August 2018, we have paid dividends on our common stock on a monthly basis at an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share per month. We generally pay dividends on the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to common stock holders of record on the applicable record date. The amount of dividends payable on our common stock to our common stock holders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our Credit Facility or other agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT.
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first quarterly dividend payment date for the Series A Preferred Stock was made on July 15, 2019 and it represented an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from March 26, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Pursuant to our Credit Facility and subject to limited exceptions, we may not pay distributions, including cash dividends on equity securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of our MFFO (as defined in our Credit Facility, which is different from AFFO as disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) for the applicable period.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future and maintain compliance with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility depends on our ability to operate profitably and to generate sufficient cash flows from the operations of our existing properties and any properties we may acquire. There can be no assurance that we will complete acquisitions on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. If we fail to do so (and we are not otherwise able to increase the amount of cash we have available to pay dividends and other distributions), our ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we might be required to reduce the amount of dividends we pay. During the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, we relied on an exception under our Credit Facility permitting us to pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 110% of MFFO for each of those fiscal quarters. We will not be able to rely on this exception again without seeking consent from the lenders under our Credit Facility. We are also permitted to pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 105% of MFFO for any applicable period if, as of the last day of the period, we are able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million. We relied on this exception for the two applicable periods since this exception became effective following an amendment to the Credit Facility in November 2019 - the two consecutive fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 and the three consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31,

56


2019. We also expect we will rely on this exception in future periods. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to rely on this exception or that the lenders will consent to any additional amendments to our Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, cash used to pay dividends on our common stock, preferred stock, distributions for LTIP Units and distributions for Class A Units that correspond to each share of our common stock, was generated from cash flows provided by operations and cash on hand, which consists of proceeds from financings and sales of real estate investments. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may have to reduce the amount of dividends we pay or identify other financing sources. There can be no assurance that other sources will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Further, to the extent we continue to rely on the exception to the restriction on the payment of dividends in our Credit Facility that requires us to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us will be limited. Funding dividends from borrowings restricts the amount we can borrow for property acquisitions and investments. Using proceeds from the sale of assets or the issuance of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or other equity securities to fund dividends rather than invest in assets will likewise reduce the amount available to invest. Funding dividends from the sale of additional securities could also dilute our stockholders.
The following table shows the sources for the payment of dividends to common stockholders, including dividends on unvested restricted shares, for the periods indicated:

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows provided by operations includes a lease termination income of $7.6 million, which is recorded in Revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations. While such termination payments occur infrequently, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes. Excluding the termination fee income, the percentage of the dividends covered by the cash flows provided by operations would have been 74% and 78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Year-to-date totals do not equal the sum of the quarters. Each quarter and year-to-date period is evaluated separately for purposes of this table.
Loan Obligations
The payment terms of certain of our mortgage loan obligations require principal and interest payments monthly, with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity. Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with specific reporting covenants. As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the debt covenants under our loan agreements.
Contractual Obligations
The following table reflects contractual debt obligations under our mortgage notes payable based on anticipated repayment dates, as well as minimum base rental cash payments due for leasehold interests over the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2019. These minimum base rental cash payments due for leasehold interests amounts exclude contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be payable based on provisions related to increases in annual rent based on exceeding certain economic indexes among other items:

The Credit Facility was matures on April 26, 2022 and we have a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023.
Several of the loan agreements on our mortgage notes payable feature anticipated repayment dates in advance of the stated maturity dates. Please see Note 5 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties, as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Inflation
Some of our leases with our tenants contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. However, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
Please see Note 11 Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates.  Our long-term debt, which consists of secured financings, bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
As of December 31, 2019, our fixed rate debt consisted of secured mortgage financings with a gross carrying value of $1.3 billion and a fair value of $1.4 billion. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact its fair value, but it has no impact on interest expense incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed-rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our obligation to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed–rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their December 31, 2019 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $44.3 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $47.6 million.
As of December 31, 2019, our variable-rate debt consisted of our Credit Facility, which had a carrying and fair value of $333.1 million. Interest rate volatility associated with the Credit Facility affects interest expense incurred and cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from December 31, 2019 levels with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable rates on the Credit Facility would increase or decrease our interest expense by $3.3 million.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and, assuming no other changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2019 and does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The information required by this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation, together with other members of our management, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective December 31, 2019 at a reasonable level of assurance..
Management’s Annual Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


58


Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included on page F-2 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American Finance Trust, Inc.:

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Finance Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index for the year ended December 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Purchase Price Allocations for Property Acquisitions
As described in Notes 3 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed real estate acquisitions with consideration paid for acquired real estate investments, net of liabilities assumed of $428.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, management allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. Management utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made by management using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to purchase price allocations for property acquisitions is a critical audit matter are that there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in applying procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to these fair value estimates. In addition, significant audit effort was necessary in evaluating the significant assumptions relating to the fair value estimates of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. The audit effort also included the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the audit evidence obtained from these procedures.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price allocations for property acquisitions, including controls over management’s valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and controls over development of the assumptions related to the valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the executed purchase agreements and lease documents and (ii) testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including testing management’s projected cash flows used to estimate the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and evaluating the accuracy of valuation outputs. Testing management’s process included evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methods and reasonableness of the significant assumptions, including capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot for the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions included considering whether these assumptions were consistent with external market data, comparable transactions, and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. In conjunction with certain purchase price allocations, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of certain assumptions utilized by management, such as capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot.

AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019


Note 1 — Organization
American Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a diversified real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) focused on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution related commercial real estate properties in the U.S. The Company owns a diversified portfolio of commercial properties comprised primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. The Company intends to focus its future acquisitions primarily on net leased service retail properties, defined as single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. As of December 31, 2019, the Company owned 819 properties, comprised of 18.5 million rentable square feet, which were 94.6% leased, including 786 single tenant, net leased commercial properties (748 of which are retail properties) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties.
The Company, incorporated on January 22, 2013, is a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
On July 19, 2018 (the “Listing Date”), the Company listed shares of its common stock, which had been renamed “Class A common stock” in connection with a series of corporate actions effected earlier in July 2018, on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “AFIN” (the “Listing”). In March 2019, the Company listed shares of its new class of 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFINP.” For additional information see Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity.
To effect the Listing, and to address the potential for selling pressure that may have existed at the outset of listing, the Company listed only shares of Class A common stock, which represented approximately 50% of its outstanding shares of common stock, on Nasdaq on the Listing Date. The Company’s two other classes of outstanding stock at the time of the Listing were Class B-1 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time, and Class B-2 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time. In accordance with their terms, all shares of Class B-1 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on October 10, 2018 and all shares of Class B-2 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on January 9, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 108.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding, representing all shares of common stock outstanding. For additional information see Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity.
The Company has no employees. The Company has retained American Finance Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) to manage the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis. American Finance Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”) serves as the Company’s property manager. The Advisor and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (the successor business to AR Capital, LLC, “AR Global”), and these related parties of the Company receive compensation, fees and expense reimbursements for services related to managing the Company’s business. Lincoln Retail REIT Services, LLC (“Lincoln”) and its affiliates provide services to the Advisor in connection with our multi-tenant retail properties that are not net leased. The Advisor has informed the Company that the Advisor has agreed to pass through to Lincoln a portion of the fees and other expense reimbursements otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates by the Company for services rendered by Lincoln. The Company is not a party to any contract with, and has no obligation to, Lincoln.
Note 2 — Merger Transaction
On February 16, 2017, the Company and the OP completed (a) the merger of American Realty Capital — Retail Centers of America, Inc. (“RCA”) with and into a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), with the Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (b) the merger of American Realty Capital Retail Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “RCA OP”) with and into the OP, with the OP as the surviving entity (together, the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by the Company and the OP with RCA, the RCA OP and the Merger Sub, at the effective time of the Merger on February 16, 2017 (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock of RCA, $0.01 par value per share (“RCA Common Stock”) (including any restricted shares of RCA Common Stock and fractional shares), was converted into (x) 0.385 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (y) cash from the Company, in an amount equal to $0.95 per share (the “Cash Consideration,” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

In addition, at the Effective Time, (i) each unit of partnership interest of the RCA OP designated as an OP unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those held by RCA as described in clause (ii) below) was automatically converted into 0.424 validly issued units of limited partnership interest of the OP (the “Partnership Merger Consideration”); (ii) each unit of partnership interest of the RCA OP designated as either an OP unit or a GP unit held by RCA and issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into 0.385 validly issued units of limited partnership interest of the OP; (iii) each unit of partnership interest of the RCA OP designated as a Class B Unit held by RCA’s advisor and a sub-advisor issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the Partnership Merger Consideration (the “Class B Consideration,” and together with the Partnership Merger Consideration and the Merger Consideration, the “Total Merger Consideration”), and (iv) the interest of American Realty Capital Retail Advisor, LLC, the special limited partner of the RCA OP (the “RCA Advisor”), in the RCA OP was redeemed for a cash payment, determined in accordance with the existing terms of the RCA OP’s agreement of limited partnership.
In addition, as provided in the Merger Agreement, all outstanding restricted shares of RCA Common Stock previously issued by RCA became fully vested and entitled to receive the Merger Consideration.
The Company issued 38.2 million shares of its common stock as Stock Consideration and paid $94.5 million in Cash Consideration.
Prior to the Merger, the Company and RCA each were sponsored, directly or indirectly, by AR Global. AR Global and its affiliates provide investment and advisory services to the Company, and previously provided such services to RCA, pursuant to written advisory agreements. In connection with, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, RCA OP units held by AR Global and its affiliates were exchanged for units of our limited partnership previously designated as “OP Units” (“OP Units”) and certain special limited partner interests in the RCA OP held by AR Global and its affiliates were, consistent with the terms of the RCA OP partnership agreement, redeemed for a cash payment of approximately $2.8 million.
The Advisor informed the Company that the Advisor engaged Lincoln as an independent service provider to provide real estate-related services similar to the services provided by Lincoln to the RCA Advisor prior to the Effective Time. Lincoln will continue to provide, subject to the Advisor’s or its affiliates’ oversight, asset management, property management and leasing services for those multi-tenant properties acquired by the Company from RCA in the Merger. The Advisor informed the Company that the Advisor agreed to pass through to Lincoln a portion of the fees and other expense reimbursements otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates by the Company for services rendered by Lincoln. The Company is not a party to any contract with, and has no obligation to, Lincoln.
Accounting Treatment for the Merger
The Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method for business combinations pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), with the Company as the accounting acquirer of RCA. The consideration transferred by the Company to acquire RCA established a new accounting basis for the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests, measured at their respective fair value as of the Effective Time. In determining the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the Stock Consideration and any non-controlling interests, the Company utilized multiple sources including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms and market sales data. The fair value of the Total Merger Consideration that exceeded the fair value of net assets acquired, was recorded as goodwill.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

F-12

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the OP. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, and fair value measurements, as applicable.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation:
The Company currently presents Straight-line rent receivable on its own line item in the consolidated statements of cash flows, which was previously included within prepaid expenses and other assets.
The Company separated amortization of deferred leasing costs presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows onto its own line item with prior presentation of these costs included in amortization (including accelerated write-off) of deferred financing costs.
Gain on sale of real estate investments is now included as part of operating income.
The Company has aggregated revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (tenant operating expense reimbursements) into one line (see additional information in the “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below.
The Company currently presents equity-based compensation related to grants of restricted shares of common stock (“restricted shares”) in equity-based compensation in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), which was previously classified in general and administrative. Also, the Company currently presents litigation costs related to the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company and American Realty Capital – Retail Centers of America, Inc. (“RCA”) in acquisition, transaction and other costs in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss), which were previously classified in general and administrative.
Out-of-Period Adjustments
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company identified certain historical errors in its accounting for its land leases (as lessee) which impacted the previously issued quarterly and annual financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not consider whether a penalty would be considered to exist for impairment of leasehold improvements when considering whether to include certain extension options in the lease term for accounting purposes. The land leases related to property acquired between 2013 and 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the cumulative impact of using the appropriate lease term in its straight line rent expense calculations for the operating leases was an understatement of rent expense and accrued rent liability of $0.9 million. The Company concluded that the errors noted above were not material to the current period or any historical periods presented and, accordingly, the Company adjusted the amounts on a cumulative basis in the first quarter of 2019.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, which include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. As of December 31, 2019, these leases had an average remaining lease term of nine years. Because many of the Company’s leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rents receivable that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. When the Company acquires a property, acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered

to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease modification is executed. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. Pursuant to certain of the Company’s lease agreements, tenants are required to reimburse the Company for certain property operating expenses, in addition to paying base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Under ASC 842, the Company has elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For comparative purposes, the Company has also elected to reflect prior revenue and reimbursements reported under ASC 842 also on a single line. For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under both ASC 842 and 840, the Company has reflected them on a net basis.
The following table presents future base rent payments on a cash basis due to the Company over the next five years and thereafter. These amounts exclude tenant reimbursements and contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be collected from certain tenants based on provisions related to sales thresholds and increases in annual rent based on exceeding certain economic indexes among other items:

The Company owns certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, the Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, approximately $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in contingent rental income is included in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rents receivable and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under the new leasing standard (see the “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below), the Company is required to assess, based on credit risk only, if it is probable that the Company will collect virtually all of the lease payments at lease commencement date and it must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are no longer permitted. If the Company determines that it’s probable it will collect virtually all of the lease payments (rent and common area maintenance), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if the Company determines it’s not probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and a full reserve would be recorded on previously accrued amounts in cases where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating revenue from tenants beginning on January 1, 2019, in accordance with new accounting rules, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
Under ASC 842, uncollectable amounts are reflected as reductions in revenue. Under ASC 840, the Company recorded such amounts as bad debt expense as part of property operating expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, such amounts were $2.9 million, $2.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement with a tenant at one of its multi-tenant properties which required the tenant to pay the Company a termination fee of $8.0 million. The Company has entered into two leases to replace the tenant one of which commenced during the third quarter of 2019. As a result, the Company recorded termination income, net, of $7.6 million during the second quarter of 2019, which is included in revenue from tenants during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
At the time an asset is acquired, the Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of the asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. See the Purchase Price Allocation section in this Note for a discussion of the initial accounting for investments in real estate.
Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. The Company evaluates probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had one and seven properties classified as held for sale, respectively, (see Note 4 — Real Estate Investments, Net for additional information).
As more fully discussed in this Note under Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ASU No. 2016-02 Leases, all of the Company’s leases as lessor prior to adoption were accounted for as operating leases and will continue to be accounted for as operating leases under the transition guidance. The Company will evaluate new leases originated after the adoption date (by the Company or by a predecessor lessor/owner) pursuant to the new guidance where a lease for some or all of a building is classified by a lessor as a sales-type lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership reside with the tenant. This situation is met if, among other things, there is an automatic transfer of title during the lease, a bargain purchase option, the non-cancelable lease term is for more than major part of remaining economic useful life of the asset (e.g., equal to or greater than 75%), if the present value of the minimum lease payments represents substantially all (e.g., equal to or greater than 90%) of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception, or if the asset so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor (and therefore would not provide any future value to the lessor) after the lease term. Further, such new leases would be evaluated to consider whether they would be failed sale-leaseback transactions and accounted for as financing transactions by the lessor. For the three year period ended December 31, 2019, the Company has no leases as a lessor that would be considered as sales-type leases or financings under sale-leaseback rules.
The Company is also the lessee under certain land leases which were previously classified prior to adoption of lease accounting and will continue to be classified as operating leases under transition elections unless subsequently modified. These leases are reflected on the balance sheet and the rent expense is reflected on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Purchase Price Allocation
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as if vacant basis. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued noncontrolling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. All acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were asset acquisitions. During 2017, prior to our adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) (see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies below), all our acquisitions, including the Merger, were accounted for as business combinations.

For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired (including those acquired in the Merger) and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of the Company’s pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, discount rates, fair market lease rates and land values per square foot.
Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases as applicable. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 24 months. The Company also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The Company did not record any intangible asset amounts related to customer relationships during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
Gains on sales of rental real estate after January 1, 2018 are not considered sales to customers and will generally be recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”).
Gain on sales of real estate prior to January 1, 2018 are recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales (“ASC 360-20”). The specific timing of a sale was measured against various criteria in and ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, depending on the circumstances, the Company may not record a sale or it may record a sale but may defer some or all of the gain recognition. If the criteria for full accrual are not met, the Company may account for the transaction by applying the finance, leasing, profit sharing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria for the full accrual method are met.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss recorded would equal the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.

Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment
The Company had no goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2019 and $1.6 million of goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2018. The Company is required to assess whether its goodwill is impaired, which requires the Company to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or when other market events or circumstances occur that might indicate that goodwill is impaired. The Company performed its annual assessment in December 2018 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Given fluctuations in the market price of the Class A common stock, the Company performed a reassessment as of June 30, 2019, which included the assessment of relevant metrics such as estimated carrying and fair market value of the Company’s real estate and market-based factors. Based on these assessments, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Reportable Segment
The Company has one reportable segment, income-producing properties, which consists of activities related to investing in real estate. 
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
The value of customer relationship intangibles, if any, is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
Above and Below-Market Lease Amortization
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of revenue from tenants over the remaining terms of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from tenants over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below-market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company

may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
Non-controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests represent the portion of the equity in the OP that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-controlling interests are allocated a share of net loss based on their share of equity ownership.
Non-controlling interests resulted from the issuance of OP Units in conjunction with the Merger and were recognized at fair value as of the Effective Time. In determining the fair value of the non-controlling interests, the Company utilized multiple sources including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms and market sales data. Please see Note 2 — Merger Transaction for additional information on the Merger. In addition, under the multi-year outperformance agreement with the Advisor (the “2018 OPP”), the OP issued a new class of units of limited partnership designated as LTIP Units (“LTIP Units”), which are also reflected as part of non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Please see Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity and Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation for additional information on transactions that impacted the amounts recorded for non-controlling interests during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Company did not own any commercial mortgage loans as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned a commercial mortgage loan with a balance of $17.2 million which was repaid by the borrower during the year ended December 31, 2017.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less and funds in overnight sweeps, in which excess funds over an established threshold are swept daily. The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the “FDIC”) up to an insurance limit. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $81.9 million of which $80.0 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $91.5 million of which $89.7 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result thereof.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Deferred costs, net consists of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 — Credit Facility) and deferred leasing costs, net of accumulated amortization. Deferred financing costs relating to the mortgage notes payable (see Note 5 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net) are reflected net of the related financing on our balance sheet.
Deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Facility and the mortgage notes payable represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the financing agreement on a straight-line basis for the Credit Facility and using effective interest method over the expected term for the mortgage notes payable.
Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or paid down before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of lease commissions and payments made to execute new leases and are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease.

Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based award plan for its directors, which is accounted for under the guidance for share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for these stock awards is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such an award is included in equity-based compensation and is recognized in accordance with the service period (i.e., vesting) required or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.
Effective at the Listing, the Company entered into the 2018 OPP under which the LTIP Units were issued to the Advisor. These awards are market-based awards with a related required service period. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 at issuance. Accordingly, the LTIP Units were valued at their measurement date and that value is reflected as a charge to earnings evenly over the service period. Further, in the event of a modification, any incremental increase in the value of the instrument measured on the date of the modification both before and after the modification, will result in an incremental amount to be reflected prospectively as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. The expense for these non-employee awards is included in the equity-based compensation line item of the consolidated statements of operations.
For additional information on these awards, see Note 13Equity-Based Compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in a manner so that it qualifies for taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurance that it will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If the Company continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of its REIT taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and properties, as well as federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The amount of dividends payable to the Company’s stockholders is determined by the board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain the Company’s status as a REIT under the Code.
Per Share Data
Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock considers the effect of potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during such period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of January 1, 2018:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued several additional amendments thereto (collectively referred to herein as “ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASC 606 using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or a full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, primarily as a result of revenue being sourced from lease arrangements that are outside the scope of ASC 606 until the new lease standard is adopted.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10), that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The Company adopted the new guidance beginning in the first quarter of 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which revises the definition of a business. This new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition should be treated as either a business acquisition or an asset acquisition. Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not be considered a business. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, and will apply the new rules prospectively. The Company expects, based on historical property acquisitions, that in most cases, a future property acquired after adoption will be treated as an asset acquisition rather than a business acquisition, which will result in the capitalization of related transaction costs. The Company has evaluated the impact of this new guidance beginning in the first quarter of 2018, and determined that it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All acquisition costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were capitalized since our acquisitions during the years were all classified as asset acquisitions.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Assets Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which provides guidance related to partial sales of non-financial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, clarifies the definition of in substance non-financial assets, removes the exception to the financial asset derecognition model and clarifies the accounting for contributions of non-financial assets to joint ventures. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified transition method. Sales of real estate in which the Company loses its controlling interest in the real estate property will result in the full gain amount being recognized at the time of the partial sale. During the year ended December 31, 2019 or 2018 the Company did not retain any interest in properties in which it sold.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The update states that modification accounting should be used unless the fair value of the award, the vesting terms of the award and the classification of the award as either equity or liability, all do not change as a result of the modification. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that any future modifications to its issued share-based awards will be accounted for using modification accounting, unless the modification meets all of the exception criteria noted above. As a result, the modification would be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award, with any incremental fair value being treated as additional compensation cost.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting as an amendment and update expanding the scope of Topic 718 (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 now applies to all share-based payment transactions, even non-employee awards, in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. Under the new guidance, awards to nonemployees are measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. Also, the awards would be measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. In addition, entities may use the expected term to measure nonemployee awards or elect to use the contractual term as the expected term, on an award-by-award basis. The new guidance was effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 on July 1, 2018 as it relates to the award made to the Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP (see Note 13 - Share-Based Compensation for additional details).
Adopted as of January 1, 2019:
ASU No. 2016-02 — Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which provides guidance related to the accounting for leases, as well as the related disclosures. For lessors of real estate, leases are accounted for using an approach substantially the same as previous accounting guidance for operating leases and direct financing leases. For lessees, the standard requires the application of a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either operating or finance leases based on

F-20

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while lease expense for finance leases is recognized based on an effective interest method over the term of the lease. Also, lessees must recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Further, certain transactions where at inception of the lease the buyer-lessor accounted for the transaction as a purchase of real estate and a new lease, may now be required to have symmetrical accounting to the seller-lessee if the transaction was not a qualified sale-leaseback and accounted for as a financing transaction.
Upon adoption, lessors were allowed a practical expedient, which the Company has elected, by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) as a single lease component as an operating lease because: (a) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component; and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s existing policies. Also, upon adoption, companies were allowed a practical expedient package, which the Company has elected, that allowed the Company: (a) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts entered into prior to January 1, 2019 are or contain leases; (b) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019 (including assessing sale-leaseback transactions); and (c) to not reassess initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. As a result, all of the Company’s existing leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the standard. Further, any existing leases for which the property is the leased to a tenant in a transaction that at inception was a sale-leaseback transaction will continue to be treated (absent a modification) as operating leases. The Company did not have any leases that would be considered financing leases as of January 1, 2019.
The Company assessed the impact of adoption from both a lessor and lessee perspective, which is discussed in more detail below, and adopted the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2019, using a prospective transition approach under which the Company elected to apply the guidance effective January 1, 2019 and not adjust prior comparative reporting periods (except for the Company’s presentation of lease revenue discussed below).
Lessor Accounting
As discussed above, the Company was not required to re-assess the classification of its leases, which are considered operating leases under ASC 842. The following is a summary of the most significant impacts to the Company of the lease accounting guidance, as lessor:
Since the Company elected the practical expedient noted above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company has aggregated revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (tenant operating expense reimbursements) into one line. The prior period has been conformed to this new presentation.
Changes in the Company’s assessment of receivables that result in bad debt expense is now required to be recorded as an adjustment to revenue, rather than a charge to bad debt expense. This new classification applies for the first quarter of 2019 and reclassification of prior period amounts is not permitted. At transition on January 1, 2019, after assessing its reserve balances at December 31, 2018 under the guidance, the Company wrote off accounts receivable of $0.1 million and straight-line rents receivable of $0.1 million as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit, and accordingly rent for these tenants is currently recorded on a cash basis.
Indirect leasing costs in connection with new or extended tenant leases, if any, are being expensed. Under prior accounting guidance, the recognition would have been deferred.
Lessee Accounting
The Company is a lessee under ground leases for eight properties as of January 1, 2019. The following is a summary of the most significant impacts to the Company of the accounting guidance, as lessee:
Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities equal to $19.3 million for the present value of the lease payments related to its ground leases. These amounts are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company also reclassified $0.3 million related to amounts previously reported as a straight-line rent liability, $1.1 million, net related to amounts previously reported as above and below market ground lease intangibles and $0.1 million of prepaid rent to the ROU assets. For additional information and disclosures related to these operating leases, see Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies.

Other Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard simplifies subsequent measurements of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, entities will perform their interim or annual goodwill impairment testing by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge based on the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company adopted early this guidance in 2019 and in connection with the reassessments, goodwill was impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to better align cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with the corresponding risk management activities. Among other things, the amendments expand which hedging strategies are eligible for hedge accounting, align the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item and allow companies to include the change in fair value of the derivative in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Additionally, for cash flow hedges that are highly effective, the update allows for all changes in fair value of the derivative to be recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019, as required under the guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method and the adoption on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Pending Adoption as of December 31, 2019:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the amended standard requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. On July 25, 2018, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU 2016-13 to clarify that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors (including unbilled straight-line rent) are explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-13. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amended guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 — Real Estate Investments
The following table presents the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. All acquisitions in 2019 and 2018 were considered asset acquisitions for accounting purposes. During 2017, prior to adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) (See Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements), all of the Company’s acquisitions, including the Merger, were accounted for as business combinations.

Real Estate Held for Sale
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and amortization of the identified assets and estimates the sales price, net of costs to sell, of those assets. If the carrying amount of the assets classified as held for sale exceeds the estimated net sales price, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the Company’s estimate of the net sales price of the assets. For additional information on impairment charges, see “Impairment Charges” section below.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were one and seven properties, respectively, classified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold five of the properties that were held for sale as of December 31, 2018 and had classified one additional property as held for sale.

Real Estate Sales
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 25 properties, including 22 properties leased to Truist Bank (formerly known as SunTrust Bank, “Truist Bank”), for an aggregate contract price of $131.7 million, exclusive of closing costs and related mortgage repayments. These sales resulted in aggregate gains of $23.7 million, which are reflected in gain on sale of real estate investments on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of 44 properties, including 31 properties leased to Truist Bank which had lease terms that expired between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, for an aggregate contract price of $161.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. These sales resulted in aggregate gains of $31.8 million, which are reflected in gain on sale of real estate investments on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company closed on the sale of 25 properties, including 18 properties operated by Truist Bank for an aggregate contract price of $291.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. As discussed later in this footnote, the Company had previously taken impairment charges on certain of these properties. These sales resulted in aggregate gains of $15.1 million, which is reflected in gain on sale of real estate investments on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Real Estate Held for Use
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. For the Company, the most common triggering events are (i) concerns regarding the tenant (i.e., credit or expirations) in the Company’s single tenant properties or significant vacancy in the Company’s multi-tenant properties and (ii) changes to the Company’s expected holding period as a result of business decisions or non-recourse debt maturities. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owned one and seven held for use single-tenant net lease properties leased to SunTrust,

which had lease terms that expired between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018. The one held for use property as of December 31, 2019 is vacant. For all of its held for use properties, the Company had reconsidered the projected cash flows due to various performance indicators and where appropriate, the Company evaluated the impact on its ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over the intended holding period. See “Impairment Charges” below for discussion of specific charges taken.
For held for use assets, the Company primarily uses a market approach to estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated. This approach involves evaluating comparable sales of properties in the same geographic region as the held for use properties in order to determine an estimated sale price. The Company makes certain assumptions including, among others, the properties in the comparable sales used in the analysis share similar characteristics to the held for use properties and market and economic conditions at the time of any potential sales of these properties, such as discount rates; demand for space; competition for tenants; changes in market rental rates; and costs to operate the property, would be similar to those in the comparable sales analyzed. Where more than one possible scenario exists, the Company uses a probability weighted approach. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or additional impairment may be realized in the future.
For some of the held for use properties, the Company had executed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) or a definitive purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) to sell the properties, however, these did not meet the criteria for held for sale treatment at December 31, 2019. In those instances, the Company used the sale price from the applicable LOI or PSA to estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated in the sale scenario. The Company made certain assumptions in this approach as well, mainly the sale of these properties would close at the terms specified in the LOI or PSA. There can be no guarantee the sales of these properties will close under these terms or at all.
Impairment Charges
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. These amounts are comprised of impairment charges of $0.1 million, which were recorded upon classification of properties to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $0.7 million, which was recorded on one held for use property leased to Truist Bank during the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This amount is comprised of impairment charges of $11.0 million, which were recorded upon reclassification of properties to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $10.1 million, which were recorded on 12 (including impairments of $1.7 million on nine properties leased to Truist Bank) of the Company’s held for use properties. The majority of the impairment charges on the held for use properties related to two multi-tenant properties.
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This amount is comprised of impairment charges of $4.5 million, which were recorded upon reclassification of properties to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $20.5 million were recorded on 38 (including impairments of $17.2 million on 36 properties leased to Truist Bank) the Company’s held for use properties.

The prior Stop & Shop loan was refinanced on December 19, 2019 with a new loan (see Stop&Shop Loan discussion in this Note). In connection with the prior loan, the Company paid prepayment penalties of approximately $2.0 million, which are included in the acquisition, transaction and other costs on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
[2] 
In connection with repayment a portion of this mortgage note, the Company paid prepayment penalties of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, which are included in the acquisition, transaction and other costs on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
[3] 
This loan was repaid in connection with the issuance of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes (see definition below) in the second quarter of 2019 and all 39 properties, which were previously encumbered under Mortgage Loan IV were added to the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes. As a result of repaying the loan, remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.8 million were written off, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Also, the “pay-fixed” interest rate swap agreements related to Mortgage Loan IV were terminated upon repayment (see Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities), which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
[4] 
Calculated on a weighted-average basis for all mortgages outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
[5] 
Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
[6] 
Mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had pledged $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, in real estate investments, at cost as collateral for its mortgage notes payable. This real estate is not available to satisfy other debts and obligations unless first satisfying the mortgage notes payable on the properties. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, $1.2 billion in real estate investments were included in the unencumbered asset pool comprising the borrowing base under the Credit Facility (see Note 6 — Credit Facility for definition). Therefore, this real estate is only available to serve as collateral or satisfy other debts and obligations if it is first removed from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility.

The Company’s mortgage notes payable agreements require compliance with certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with financial covenants under its mortgage notes payable agreements.
Stop & Shop Loan
On December 18, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a loan agreement (“Stop&Shop Loan”) with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., (“Lender”) for a principal amount of $45.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 3.445% per annum. The Stop&Shop Loan requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in January 2030 and is secured by mortgage interests in four of the Company’s properties, three of which are located in the state of Massachusetts, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet. The Stop&Shop Loan permits the Lender to securitize the loan or any portion thereof.
Net Lease Mortgage Notes
On May 30, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company completed the issuance of $242.0 million aggregate principal amount of Net Lease Mortgage Notes (the “Net Lease Mortgage Notes”), in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Net Lease Mortgage Notes have been issued using a master trust structure, which enables additional series of notes to be issued upon the contribution of additional properties to the collateral pool without the need to structure a new securitization transaction. Any new notes that are so issued will be cross collateralized with the current Net Lease Mortgage Notes.
The Net Lease Mortgage Notes were issued in two classes, Class A-1 (the “Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”) and Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”). The Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated AAA (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million with an anticipated repayment date in May 2026 and an interest rate of 3.78% per annum. The Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated A (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million initial principal amount with an anticipated repayment date in May 2029 and an interest rate of 4.46% per annum. The Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes require interest and principal amortization payments until the applicable anticipated repayment date. The Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are interest-only until June 2020, when principal amortization payments are required until the applicable anticipated repayment date. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes are collectively currently amortizing at a rate of approximately 0.5% per annum. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to their anticipated repayment date subject to payment of a make-whole premium. If any class of Net Lease Mortgage Notes is not paid in full at its respective anticipated repayment date, additional interest will begin to accrue on those Net Lease Mortgage Notes. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes have a rated final payment date in May 2049.
As of December 31, 2019, the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes was comprised of 201 of the Company’s double- and triple-net leased single tenant properties that had been transferred to the subsidiaries of the Company that issued the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, together with the related leases and certain other rights and interests. The net proceeds from the sale of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes were used to repay $204.9 million in indebtedness related to 192 of the properties then in the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, and approximately $37.1 million of the remaining net proceeds were available to the Company for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions. At closing, the Company repaid mortgage notes of $29.9 million previously secured by 39 individual properties and repaid $175.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company removed 153 of its properties from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility to serve as part of the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes in connection with this repayment and added ten recently acquired properties to the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

The subsidiaries of the Company may release or exchange properties from the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes subject to various terms and conditions, including paying any applicable make-whole premium and limiting the total value of properties released or exchanged to not more than 35% of the aggregate collateral value. These conditions, including the make-whole premium, do not apply under certain circumstances, including a prepayment in an aggregate amount of up to 35% of the initial principal balance if the prepayment is funded with proceeds from qualifying deleveraging events, such as a firm commitment underwritten registered public equity offering by the Company that generates at least $75.0 million in net proceeds, that occur following June 2021.
The Net Lease Mortgage Notes benefit from two debt service coverage ratio tests. If the monthly debt service coverage ratio falls below 1.3x and is not cured, cash flow that would be available to pay certain subordinated expenses or be released to the Company will instead be deposited into a reserve account. If the three month average debt service coverage ratio falls below 1.2x and is not cured, all remaining cash flow after payments of interest on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes will be applied to pay principal on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes (first on the Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes and then on the Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes).
Mortgage Loan II
On December 8, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a loan agreement (“Mortgage Loan II”) with Societe Generale and UBS AG (collectively, the “Lenders II”). The Mortgage Loan II requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in January 2028 and is secured by mortgage interests in 12 of the Company’s properties in eight states totaling approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet. The Mortgage Loan II permits the Lenders II to securitize the loan or any portion thereof.
Note 6 — Credit Facility
On February 16, 2017, the Company, the OP, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company acting as guarantors, entered into an amendment, assumption, joinder and reaffirmation of guaranties to an unsecured amended and restated credit agreement, dated December 2, 2014 by and among the RCA OP, to which the OP is successor by merger, BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO Bank”) as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer, swingline lender and a lender, and the other parties thereto, relating to a $325.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”).
On April 26, 2018, the Company repaid the amounts outstanding on Prior Credit Facility in full and entered into a $415.0 million revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Bank, as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. In September 2018, the lenders under the Credit Facility increased the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility by $125.0 million, bringing total commitments to $540.0 million.
The Credit Facility includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, upon the request of the OP, but at the sole discretion of the participating lenders, the commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and certain customary conditions. As of December 31, 2019, as discussed above, the Company had increased its commitments through this accordion feature by $125.0 million, leaving $375.0 million of potential increase remaining.
The amount available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility is based on the lesser of (1) a percentage of the value of the pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base, and (2) a maximum amount permitted to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio with respect to the borrowing base, in each case, as of the determination date. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $484.1 million based on the value of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. Of this amount, $333.1 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019 and $150.9 million remained available for future borrowings. In addition, in accordance with the Credit Facility, in order for the Company to make payments required to fund certain share repurchases, the Company would be required to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40.0 million.
The Credit Facility requires payments of interest only and matures on April 26, 2022. The Company has a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread ranging from 0.60% to 1.20%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable spread ranging from 1.60% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Facility and Prior Credit Facility was 3.80% and 4.12%, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

It is anticipated that LIBOR will only be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, the Company anticipates that it will either utilize the Base Rate or negotiate a replacement reference rate for LIBOR with the lenders.
The Credit Facility contains various customary operating covenants, including the restricted payments covenant described in more detail below, as well as covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of liens, investments, fundamental changes, agreements with affiliates and changes in nature of business. The Credit Facility also contains financial maintenance covenants with respect to maximum consolidated leverage, maximum consolidated secured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, maximum other recourse debt to total asset value, and minimum net worth. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay distributions, including cash dividends on equity securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO (as defined in the Credit Facility) for any look-back period of four consecutive fiscal quarters subject to three limited exceptions. The third limited exception was added to the Credit Facility pursuant to an amendment entered into on November 4, 2019 (the “November Amendment”). The Company elected to rely on all three of these exceptions during 2019. First, the Company exercised its one-time right to elect to pay cash dividends or redeem or repurchase equity securities in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 110% of MFFO for each of three consecutive fiscal quarters, and the Company relied on this exception for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 but subsequently revoked its election and did not rely on this exception for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Next, the Company exercised its one-time right to elect to reset the look-back period such that (i) for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company could not pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO for that fiscal quarter, (ii) for the two-quarter period ended September 30, 2019, the Company could not pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO for that fiscal quarter and the prior fiscal quarter, and (iii) for the three-quarter period ended December 31, 2019, the Company could not pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO for that fiscal quarter and the prior two fiscal quarters. Commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2020, the Company may not pay distributions in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO for any look-back period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and will not be able to rely on either of these exceptions again without seeking consent from the lenders under the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the November Amendment, the Company is permitted to pay distributions in an aggregate amount not exceeding 105% of MFFO for any applicable period if, as of the last day of the period, the Company is able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also has a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company satisfied the maximum leverage ratio requirement and the total of the remaining availability for future borrowings of $150.9 million and cash and cash equivalents was $81.9 million. The Company was therefore able to rely on this exception for the period of three consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2019. The Company also relied on this exception for the period of two consecutive fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 and expects it will rely on this exception in future periods.
There is no assurance that the lenders will consent to any additional amendments to the Credit Facility that may become necessary to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility. Moreover, the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility depends on its ability, and the time needed, to invest in new cash flow generating acquisitions. There is no assurance the Company will complete pending or future acquisitions. If the Company is not able to increase the amount of cash it has available to pay dividends, including through additional cash flows the Company expects to generate from completing acquisitions, the Company’s ability to comply with the Credit Facility or the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock in future periods may be adversely affected. Further, the Company may have to identify other financing sources to fund dividends. There can be no assurance that other sources will be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred sources of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

F-30

Table of Contents
AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with this derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. However, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivatives valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2018, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall. The Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities for additional information).

Real Estate Investments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Real Estate Investments - Held for Sale
The Company has had impaired real estate investments classified as held for sale (see Note 4 — Real Estate Investments for additional information on impairment charges recorded by the Company). There were no impaired real estate investments held for sale as of December 31, 2019. The carrying value of impaired real estate investments held for sale was $42.8 million as of December 31, 2018. Carrying value of impaired real estate investments held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet represents their estimated fair value less cost to sell. Impaired real estate investments held for sale are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019

The Company has had impaired real estate investments classified as held for use (see Note 4 — Real Estate Investments for additional information on impairment charges incurred by the Company). There were no impaired real estate investments held for use as of December 31, 2019. The carrying value of impaired real estate investments held for use was $8.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The carrying value of impaired real estate investments held for use on the consolidated balance sheet represents their estimated fair value. The Company primarily uses a market approach to estimate future cash flows expected to be generated. Impaired real estate investments which are held for use are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Financial Instruments that are not Reported at Fair Value
The carrying value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and dividends payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of advances under the Credit Facility approximates their fair value, because the interest rate varies with changes in LIBOR, and there has not been a significant change in the credit risk of the Company or credit markets. The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared to carrying value of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The fair value of gross mortgage notes payable is based on estimates of market interest rates. This approach relies on unobservable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its related parties may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. The Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2019 due to the termination of its interest rate swaps after the repayment of certain mortgages during the third quarter of 2019 (see Note 5 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net for additional information).

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily has used, and may use in the future, interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
Effective January 1, 2019 and upon adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), all of the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Prior to January 1, 2019, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives was recognized directly in earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings because it became probable that the hedged forecasted amounts would not occur. This acceleration resulted in a loss of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
As of December 31, 2019 the Company did not have any derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had the following derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 108.5 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding and no shares of Class B-1 common stock or Class B-2 common stock outstanding. As of December 2018, the Company had 106.2 million shares of common stock outstanding which were comprised of 80.0 million shares of Class A common stock and 26.2 million shares of Class B-2 common stock.
Listing of the Company’s Common Stock
To address the potential for selling pressure that may have existed at the outset of listing, the Company listed only shares of Class A common stock, which represented approximately 50% of its outstanding shares of common stock, on Nasdaq on the Listing Date. The Company’s two other classes of outstanding stock at the time of the Listing were Class B-1 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time, and Class B-2 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time. In accordance with their terms, all shares of Class B-1 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on October 10, 2018 and all shares of Class B-2 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on January 9, 2019. Fractional shares of Class B-2 common stock totaling approximately 19,870 shares were repurchased at a price of $13.78 per share by the Company as a result of the automatic conversion. Each share of Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock was otherwise identical to each share of Class A common stock in all other respects, including the right to vote on matters presented to the Company’s stockholders, and shares of all different classes of common stock received the same dividends while there were different classes of common stock outstanding.
Prior to Listing, the Company published an annual estimated net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock (“Estimated Per-Share NAV”) which was the price at which the Company sold its shares under the Pre-Listing DRIP (as defined below) and repurchased shares under the SRP (as defined below). Following the Listing, the Company’s previously published Estimated Per-Share NAV was no longer applicable, and the Company no longer publishes Estimated Per-Share NAV.
Related to the Listing, the Company incurred fees of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 for financial advisory and other transaction related costs.
Corporate Actions
In order to effect the Listing described above, the Company took the following corporate actions on July 3, 2018:
The Company effected a 2-to-1 reverse stock split combining every two shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, into one share of common stock, par value $0.02 per share, and subsequently reducing the resulting par value of the shares of common stock outstanding after the reverse stock split from $0.02 per share back to $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company changed the name of its common stock to “Class A common stock.”
The Company reclassified a number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock equal to half of the number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding into equal numbers of shares of Class B-1 common stock and shares of Class B-2 common stock.
The Company distributed to the holders of shares of Class A common stock a stock dividend equal to one-half share of Class B-1 common stock and one-half share of Class B-2 common stock for each share of Class A common stock outstanding.
As a result of the corporate actions described above, the number of outstanding shares in total, and on a weighted-average basis for earnings per share purposes, remained the same with the exception of any fractional shares that were repurchased or forfeited as a result of the reverse stock split.

See “Corporate Actions” above for a description of the reverse stock split and classification of shares as Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock. Fractional shares of Class A common stock totaling 18,460 were repurchased by the Company as a result of the reverse stock split. In accordance with their terms, all shares of Class B-1 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on October 10, 2018. As a result of this conversion, on October 10, 2018, all fractional shares of Class B-1 common stock totaling approximately 19,945 shares were repurchased by the Company. Amount at June 30, 2018 included 8,888 shares of common stock owned by American Finance Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”). During the second half of 2018, 4,444 shares of Class A common stock owned by the Special Limited Partner were distributed to individual members of the entity and, as a result, the Special Limited Partner owned 2,222 shares of Class A common stock and 2,222 shares of Class B-2 common stock as of December 31, 2018.
[2] 
The performance-based restricted, forfeitable partnership units of the OP designated as “Class B Units” (“Class B Units”) vested and were converted into an equal number of units of limited partnership designated as “Class A Units” (“Class A Units”). In addition, effective at the Listing following this conversion and as approved by the Company’s board of directors, these Class A Units were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP (see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for additional information).
[3] 
Following the Listing, all of the shares of Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock owned by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Special Limited Partner) were distributed pro rata to the individual members of those entities, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer.
[4] 
Pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP, holders of Class A Units may redeem all or a portion of their Class A Units for, at the Company’s election, either shares of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof. 203,612 Class A Units were eligible for redemption after the Listing. On July 20, 2018, 30,691 Class A Units held by the RCA Advisor and the Special Limited Partner were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP.
[5] 
Fractional unvested restricted shares of common stock (“restricted shares”) held by the Company’s independent directors totaled approximately seven, and these fractional shares were forfeited in connection with the reverse stock split effected prior to the Listing. Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 127,402 restricted shares in the aggregate to members of the Company’s board of directors (see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation).
Tender Offers
On February 15, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to the Company’s stockholders to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.66 per share, the Company commenced a tender offer for up to 1,000,000 shares at a price of $14.35 per share (the “February Offer”). The Company made the February Offer in order to deter an unsolicited bidder and other potential future bidders that might have tried to exploit the illiquidity of the Company’s then unlisted common stock. In accordance with the terms of the February Offer, which expired on March 27, 2018, the Company accepted for purchase 483,716 shares for a total cost of approximately $6.9 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the February Offer.
On May 1, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to the Company’s stockholders to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $15.35 per share, the Company commenced a tender offer for up to 1,000,000 shares at a price of $15.45 per share (the “May Offer”). The Company made the May Offer in order to deter an unsolicited bidder and other potential future bidders that might have tried to exploit the illiquidity of the Company’s then unlisted common stock. In accordance with the May Offer, which expired on May 31, 2018, the Company accepted for purchase 207,713 shares for a total cost of approximately $3.2 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the May Offer.
Authorized Repurchase Program
Effective at the Listing, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $200.0 million of Class A common stock that the Company may implement from time to time through open market repurchases or in privately negotiated transactions based on the Company’s board of directors and management’s assessment of, among other things, market

conditions prevailing at the particular time. The Company will have the ability to repurchase shares of Class A common stock up to this amount at its discretion, subject to authorization by the Company’s board of directors prior to any such repurchase. As of December 31, 2019, the total of the Company’s remaining availability for future borrowings and cash and cash equivalents was $232.8 million. In accordance with the Credit Facility, in order for the Company to make payments required to fund certain share repurchases, which would include payments for this authorized repurchase program, the Company would be required to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40.0 million. Accordingly, if the Company decided to purchase shares under this program, the ultimate amount repurchased would depend on the amount of cash and availability for future borrowings at that time. There have not been any purchases authorized, through open market purchases or otherwise, under this program through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Terminated Share Repurchase Program
In anticipation of the Listing, the Company’s board of directors terminated the Company’s previous share repurchase program (the “SRP”) in accordance with its terms, effective June 30, 2018. The Company’s board of directors had previously authorized the Company to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP, which permitted investors to offer to sell their shares back to the Company at a price based on the then-current Estimated Per-Share NAV after they held them for at least one year, subject to certain conditions and limitations. The Company repurchased shares on a semiannual basis, at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, with respect to each six-month period ending June 30 and December 31.
When a stockholder requested repurchases and the repurchases were approved, the Company reclassified such an obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. Shares repurchased had the status of authorized but unissued shares.
The following table summarizes the repurchases of shares under the SRP cumulatively through the SRP termination date of June 30, 2018:

Also, in July 2017, following the effectiveness of an amendment and restatement of the SRP pursuant to which only repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder were eligible for repurchase, the Company’s board of directors approved 100% of the repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of stockholders during the period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. No repurchases were made with respect to requests received during 2017 that are not valid requests in accordance with the amended and restated SRP. At the time the SRP was terminated in anticipation of the Listing, effective June 30, 2018, we had received repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of stockholders during the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 with respect to 0.6 million shares that were therefore not repurchased.

During January 2018, the Company repurchased 412,939 shares for approximately $9.7 million at a price of $23.37 per share equal to the then current Estimated Per-Share NAV.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On June 29, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had suspended the Company’s then effective distribution reinvestment plan (the “Pre-Listing DRIP”) effective June 30, 2018. As a result, all dividends paid for the month of June 2018 were paid in cash in July 2018. Prior to its suspension, the Company’s stockholders were able to elect to reinvest dividends by purchasing shares of common stock from the Company at the applicable Estimated Per-Share NAV. On the Listing Date, an amendment and restatement of the Pre-Listing DRIP approved by the Company’s board of directors became effective (as so amended and restated, the “Post-Listing DRIP”).
Commencing with the dividend paid on August 3, 2018 (the first dividend paid following the Listing Date), the Company’s stockholders that have elected to participate in the Post-Listing DRIP may have dividends payable with respect to all or a portion of their shares of the Company’s common stock (including Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock, prior to its automatic conversion in Class A common stock on October 10, 2018, and Class B-2 common stock, prior to its automatic conversion in Class

A common stock on January 9, 2019) reinvested in shares of Class A common stock. Shares issued pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP represent shares that are, at the election of the Company, either (i) acquired directly from the Company, which would issue new shares, at a price based on the average of the high and low sales prices of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the date of reinvestment, or (ii) acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator at a price based on the weighted-average of the actual prices paid for all of the shares of Class A common stock purchased by the plan administrator with all participants’ reinvested dividends for the related quarter, less a per share processing fee. During 2019 and 2018, all shares acquired by participants pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP were acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator and not acquired directly from the Company.
Shares issued pursuant to the Pre-Listing DRIP or the Post-Listing DRIP are recorded within stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the period dividends are declared. During the year ended December 31, 2019, no shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP and during the year ended December 31, 2018, approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock were issued by the Company pursuant to the Pre-Listing DRIP, and no shares were issued by the Company pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP.
ATM Program Class A Common Stock
In May 2019, the Company established an “at the market” equity offering program for Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock ATM Program”), pursuant to which the Company may from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public up to $200.0 million in shares of Class A common stock, through sales agents. The Company sold 2,229,647 shares sold under the Class A Common Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $32.4 million and net proceeds of $31.6 million, after commissions paid and additional issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which it has classified and designated 8,796,000 as authorized shares of its Series A Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2019.
Underwritten Offerings Series A Preferred Stock
On March 26, 2019, the Company completed the initial issuance and sale of 1,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $30.0 million and net proceeds of $28.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by the Company.
On April 10, 2019, the underwriters in the offering exercised their option to purchase additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and the Company sold an additional 146,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which generated gross proceeds of $3.7 million and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts.
On September 9, 2019, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 3,450,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including 450,000 shares issued and sold pursuant to the underwriter’s exercise of its option to purchase additional shares in full) in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to $25.25 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $87.1 million and net proceeds of $83.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs paid by the Company.

In May 2019, the Company established an “at the market” equity offering program for Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public, through sales agents, shares of the Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million, which was subsequently increased to $100.0 million in October 4, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 2,121,230 shares under the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $54.0 million and net proceeds of $53.2 million, after commissions paid of approximately $0.8 million.
Series A Preferred Stock Terms
The Series A Preferred Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFINP.” Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed or otherwise repurchased. On and after March 26, 2024, at any time and from time to time, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole, or in part, at the Company’s option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, each as defined in the articles supplementary classifying and designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (the

F-37

“Articles Supplementary”), the Company may, subject to certain conditions, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the first date on which the Delisting Event occurred or within 120 days after the first date on which the Change of Control occurred, as applicable, by paying the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If the Company does not exercise these redemption rights upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have certain rights to convert Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A common stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to Class A common stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect two additional directors to the Company’s board of directors if six or more quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, and approve amendments to the Company’s charter (which includes the Articles Supplementary) that materially and adversely affect the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or create additional classes or series of shares of the Company’s capital stock that are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the limited circumstances described above and in the Articles Supplementary, holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.
Dividends
In April 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a monthly dividend equivalent to $1.65 per annum, per share of common stock. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized a decrease in the daily accrual of dividends to an annualized rate of $1.30 per annum, per share of common stock. In connection with the Listing, the Company’s board of directors changed the rate at which the Company pays dividends on its common stock to an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share on a monthly basis, effective as of July 1, 2018. Additionally, effective July 1, 2018, the Company transitioned to declaring dividends based on quarterly basis with one month in arrears using monthly, rather than daily, record dates and generally pays dividends on or around the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to common stockholders of record on the applicable record date of such month. Prior to July 1, 2018, dividends were payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. In January 2019, the Company declared a dividend for December 2018, January 2019 and February 2019 resulting in only 11 months declared dividends during the year ended December 31, 2018. Notwithstanding the changes to the declaration dates, the Company paid 12 months of dividends during the year ended December 31, 2018. Dividend payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The Company’s board of directors may reduce the amount of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time and therefore dividends payments are not assured.
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue at an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first quarterly dividend payment date for the Series A Preferred Stock was made on July 15, 2019 and it represented an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from March 26, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
The following table details from a tax perspective, the portion of common stock dividends classified as return of capital and ordinary dividend income for tax purposes, per share per annum, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. All dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock were considered 100% ordinary dividend income for tax purposes.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies
Lessee Arrangements - Ground Leases
The Company is a lessee in ground lease agreements for eight of its properties. The ground leases have lease durations, including assumed renewals, ranging from 18.0 years to 44.8 years as of December 31, 2019. On January 1, 2019, the Company

adopted ASC 842 and recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities related to these ground leases, which are classified as operating leases under the lease standard (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Polices for additional information on the impact of adopting the new standard).
As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s balance sheet includes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $19.0 million and $19.3 million, respectively. In determining operating ROU assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s existing operating leases upon the adoption of the new lease guidance as well as for new operating leases in the current period, the Company estimated an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. Because the terms of the Company’s ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the Company’s estimate of this rate required significant judgment.
The Company’s operating ground leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term, including assumed renewals, of 28.9 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 7.5% as of December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid cash of $1.5 million, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities and recorded expense of $2.7 million, on a straight-line basis in accordance with the standard which included an out-of-period adjustment of $0.9 million (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Polices for additional information). The lease expense is recorded in property operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company did not enter into any additional ground leases during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
On January 13, 2017, four affiliated stockholders of RCA filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland a putative class action lawsuit against RCA, the Company, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Leslie D. Michelson, Edward G. Rendell (Weil, Michelson and Rendell, the “Director Defendants”), and AR Global, alleging violations of Sections 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by RCA and the Director Defendants, violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by AR Global and the Director Defendants, breaches of fiduciary duty by the Director Defendants, and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty by AR Global and the Company in connection with the negotiation of and proxy solicitation for a shareholder vote on what was at the time the proposed Merger and an amendment to RCA’s charter. The complaint sought on behalf of the putative class rescission of the Merger, which was voted on and approved by RCA stockholders on February 13, 2017, and closed on February 16, 2017, together with unspecified rescissory damages, unspecified actual damages, and costs and disbursements of the action. RCA was sponsored and advised by affiliates of the Advisor. On April 26, 2017, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff, along with other stockholders of RCA, filed an amended complaint on June 19, 2017. The amended complaint named additional individuals and entities as defendants (David Gong, Stanley Perla, Lisa Kabnick, all of whom were independent directors of the Company at the time of the Merger (“Additional Director Defendants”), Nicholas Radesca, the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and RCA’s advisor), added counts alleging violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement for the proposed merger, under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, and counts for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company, RCA, the Director Defendants, the Additional Director Defendants and Nicholas Radesca deny wrongdoing and liability and intend to vigorously defend the action. On August 14, 2017, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 29, 2018, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the amended complaint. On April 26, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of the court’s order. On March 11, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the judgment of the district court dismissing the complaint.

December 31, 2019

On March 25, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc, which was subsequently denied on April 9, 2019. Due to the stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonable possible losses are determinable at this time. No provisions for such losses have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
On February 8, 2018, Carolyn St. Clair-Hibbard, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch and William M. Kahane. On February 23, 2018, the complaint was amended to, among other things, assert some claims on the plaintiff’s own behalf and other claims on behalf of herself and other similarly situated shareholders of the Company as a class. On April 26, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 25, 2018, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges that the proxy materials used to solicit stockholder approval of the Merger at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting were materially incomplete and misleading. The complaint asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act against the Company, as well as control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under 20(a). It also asserts state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, and claims for aiding and abetting such breaches, of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, AR Global and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, rescission of the Company’s advisory agreement (or severable portions thereof) which became effective when the Merger became effective, and a declaratory judgment that certain provisions of the Company’s advisory agreement are void. The Company believes the second amended complaint is without merit and intends to defend vigorously. On June 22, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. On August 1, 2018, plaintiff filed an opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss. Defendants filed reply papers on August 22, 2018, and oral argument was held on September 26, 2018. On September 23, 2019, the Court granted defendants’ motions and dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff has appealed that order. Appellate briefing is ongoing and oral argument on the appeal is not yet scheduled. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On October 26, 2018, Terry Hibbard, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick.  The complaint alleges that the registration statement pursuant to which RCA shareholders acquired shares of the Company during the Merger contained materially incomplete and misleading information.  The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong, and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against the Company and Mr. Weil, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under Section 15 of the Securities Act.  The complaint seeks unspecified damages and rescission of the Company’s sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend vigorously. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On March 6, 2019, Susan Bracken, Michael P. Miller and Jamie Beckett, purported stockholders of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, on behalf of themselves and others who purchased shares of common stock through the Pre-Listing DRIP, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick. The complaint alleges that the April and December 2016 registration statements pursuant to which class members purchased shares contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against the Company, Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against the Company and Mr. Weil, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane under Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and either rescission of the Company’s sale of stock or rescissory damages. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to defend vigorously. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
On April 30, 2019, Lynda Callaway, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, Nicholas S. Schorsch, William M. Kahane, Edward M. Weil, Jr., Nicholas Radesca, David Gong, Stanley R. Perla, and Lisa D. Kabnick. The complaint alleges that the registration statement pursuant to which plaintiff and other class members acquired shares of the Company during the Merger contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserts violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against the Company, Messrs. Weil, Radesca, Gong, and Perla, and Ms. Kabnick, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against the Company and Mr. Weil, and control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act against the Advisor, AR Global, and Messrs. Schorsch and Kahane. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and rescission of the Company’s sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.

On July 11, 2019, the New York State Supreme Court issued an order consolidating the three above-mentioned cases: Terry Hibbard, Bracken, and Callaway (the “Consolidated Cases”). The Court also stayed the Consolidated Cases pending a decision on the motions to dismiss in the St. Clair-Hibbard litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Following the federal court’s decision on the motions to dismiss in the St. Clair-Hibbard litigation, on October 31, 2019 plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint in the Consolidated Cases seeking substantially similar remedies from the same defendants. The Company moved to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on December 31, 2019. The briefing with respect to the motion to dismiss is ongoing, and the Court has not yet ruled on the motion.
There are no other material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred legal costs related to the above litigation of approximately $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. A portion of these litigation costs are subject to a claim for reimbursement under the insurance policies maintained by the Company, and during the year ended December 31, 2019, reimbursements of $2.3 million were received and recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company may receive additional reimbursements in the future.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company maintains environmental insurance for its properties that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Summary of Advisory Agreement
On April 29, 2015, the independent directors of the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, as amended (the “First A&R Advisory Agreement”), by and among the Company, the OP and the Advisor (the “Second A&R Advisory Agreement”). The Second A&R Advisory Agreement, which superseded the First A&R Advisory Agreement, took effect on July 20, 2015, the date on which the Company filed certain changes to the Company’s charter, which were approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 23, 2015. The initial term of the Second A&R Advisory Agreement of 20 years began on April 29, 2015, and is automatically renewable for another 20-year term upon each 20-year anniversary unless terminated by the Company’s board of directors for cause.
On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the Second A&R Advisory Agreement (the “Third A&R Advisory Agreement”), which became effective on February 16, 2017. The Third A&R Advisory Agreement grants the Company the right to internalize the services provided under the Third A&R Advisory Agreement (“Internalization”) and to terminate the Third A&R Advisory Agreement pursuant to a notice received by the Advisor as long as (i) more than 67% of the Company’s independent directors have approved the Internalization; and (ii) the Company pays the Advisor an Internalization fee equal to (1) $15.0 million plus (2) either (x) if the Internalization occurs on or before December 31, 2028, the Subject Fees (defined below) multiplied by 4.5, or (y) if the Internalization occurs on or after January 1, 2029, the Subject Fees multiplied by 3.5 plus (3) 1% multiplied by (x) the purchase price of properties or other investments acquired after the end of the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor and prior to the Internalization and (y) without duplication, the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by the Company during the period following the end of the fiscal quarter in which notice is received and the Internalization. The “Subject Fees” are equal to (i) the product of four multiplied by the sum of (A) the actual base management fee (including both the fixed and variable portion thereof) plus (B) the actual variable management fee, in each of clauses (A) and (B), payable for the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor, plus, (ii) without duplication, the annual increase in the base management fee resulting from the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised in respect of the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor. Up to 10% of the Internalization fee may be payable in shares of Class A common stock subject to certain conditions.
The initial term of the Third A&R Advisory Agreement expires on April 29, 2035. This term is automatically renewed for successive 20-year terms upon expiration unless the Third A&R Advisory Agreement is terminated (1) in accordance with an Internalization, (2) by the Company or the Advisor with cause, without penalty, with 60 days’ notice, (3) by the Advisor for (a) a failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement for any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform obligations under the Third A&R Advisory Agreement or (b) any material breach of the Third A&R Advisory Agreement of any nature whatsoever by

the Company, or (4) by the Advisor in connection with a change of control of the Company. Upon the termination of the Third A&R Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Company all amounts due to the Advisor, as well as the then-present fair market value of the Advisor’s interest in the Company.
2019 Advisory Agreement Amendment
On March 18, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No.2 to the Third A&R Advisory Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”), by and among the OP and the Advisor. Amendment No.2 revised the section of the Third A&R Advisory Agreement specifically related to reimbursable administrative service expenses, including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, including those of certain executive officers of the Company. See the “Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements” section below for details.
In-Sourced Expenses
The Advisor has been and may continue to be reimbursed for costs it incurs in providing investment-related services, or “insourced expenses.” These insourced expenses may not exceed 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property or 0.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. Additionally, the Company has paid and may continue to pay third party acquisition expenses. Under the Second A&R Advisory Agreement, the aggregate amount of acquisition fees and financing coordination fees (of which there were none) were not to exceed 1.5% of the contract purchase price and the amount advanced for a loan or other investment for all the assets acquired. The Company incurred $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million of acquisition expenses and related cost reimbursements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Under the Third A&R Advisory Agreement, following February 16, 2017, the aggregate amount of acquisition expenses, including in-sourced expenses, may not exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price of the Company’s portfolio or 4.5% of the amount advanced for all loans or other investments and this threshold has not been exceeded through December 31, 2019.
Asset Management Fees and Variable Management/Incentive Fees
The Company pays the Advisor a fixed base management fee and a variable base management fee. Under the Second A&R Advisory Agreement, the Company was required to pay a fixed base management fee of $18.0 million annually. Under the Third A&R Advisory Agreement, the fixed portion of the base management fee increased from $18.0 million annually to (i) $21.0 million annually for the first year following February 16, 2017 until February 16, 2018; (ii) $22.5 million annually for the second year starting February 17, 2018 until February 16, 2019; and (iii) $24.0 million annually thereafter. If the Company acquires (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any other REIT, that is advised by an entity that is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by AR Global, other than any joint venture, (a “Specified Transaction”), the fixed portion of the base management fee will be increased by an amount equal to the consideration paid for the acquired company’s equity multiplied by 0.0031 for the first year following the Specified Transaction, 0.0047 for the second year and 0.0062 thereafter. The variable portion of the base management fee changed from a quarterly fee equal to 0.375% of the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised (including certain convertible debt, proceeds from the Pre-Listing DRIP (if any) and any cumulative Core Earnings (as defined below) in excess of dividends paid on common stock but excluding equity based compensation and proceeds from a Specified Transaction) after the Company lists its common stock on a national securities exchange to a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by the Company and its subsidiaries from and after the initial effective date of the Third A&R Advisory Agreement on February 16, 2017). Base management fees, including the variable portion, are included in asset management fees to related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
In addition, under the Third A&R Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay the Advisor a variable management fee. Prior to the Listing Date, the amount that was required to be paid was equal to the product of (1) the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding multiplied by (2) (x) 15.0% of the applicable quarter’s Core Earnings per share in excess of $0.375 per share plus (y) 10.0% of the applicable quarter’s Core Earnings per share in excess of $0.50 per share, in each case as adjusted for changes in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. On the Listing Date, the Company entered into an amendment to the Third A&R Advisory Agreement (the “Listing Amendment") which lowered the quarterly thresholds of Core Earnings per share the Company must reach in a particular quarter for the Advisor to receive a variable management fee from $0.375 and $0.50 to $0.275 and $0.3125. The Listing Amendment also revised the definition of Adjusted Outstanding Shares (as defined in the Third A&R Advisory Agreement), which is used to calculate Core Earnings per share, so that it is now based on the Company’s reported diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. The Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the Listing Amendment upon the unanimous recommendation of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors.

Core Earnings is defined as, for the applicable period, net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the variable management fee, acquisition and transaction related fees and expenses, financing related fees and expenses, depreciation and amortization, realized gains and losses on the sale of assets, any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income or loss for the applicable period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, impairment losses on real estate related investments and other than temporary impairments of securities, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of tenant inducements, amortization of straight-line rent, amortization of market lease intangibles, provision for loss loans, and other non-recurring revenue and expenses (in each case after discussions between the Advisor and the independent directors and the approval of a majority of the independent directors). The variable management fee is payable to the Advisor or its assignees in cash or shares, or a combination of both, the form of payment to be determined in the sole discretion of the Advisor and the value of any share to be determined by the Advisor acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it considers, in its reasonable judgment, appropriate. The Company recorded $0.1 million in variable management fees during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company did not incur any variable management fees during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Prior to the Listing, in aggregate, the Company’s board of directors had approved and the OP had issued 1,052,420 Class B Units to the Advisor. Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of the OP (the “A&R OP Agreement”), the Advisor was entitled to receive distributions on unvested Class B Units equal to the dividend amount received on the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B Units were included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the Listing and the prior determination by the Company’s board of directors that the applicable conditions under the A&R OP Agreement had been satisfied, the Class B Units vested in accordance with their terms. The Class B Units were converted into an equal number of Class A Units. In addition, effective at the Listing following this conversion and as approved by the Company’s board of directors, these Class A Units were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the Second A&R OP Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of approximately $15.8 million, which is recorded in vesting and conversion of Class B Units in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Property Management Fees
The Company has a property management agreement (the “Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement”), a leasing agreement (the “Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement”) and a net lease property management and leasing agreement (the “Net Lease Property Management Agreement”) with the Property Manager. The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement, the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement and the Net Lease Property Management Agreement each became effective on February 16, 2017. In connection with the issuance of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, subsidiaries of the Company have entered into the Property Management and Servicing Agreement, dated May 30, 2019 (the “ABS Property Management Agreement”), with the Property Manager, KeyBank, as back-up property manager, and Citibank, N.A. as indenture trustee.
The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement provides that, unless a property is subject to a separate property management agreement with the Property Manager, the Property Manager is the sole and exclusive property manager for the Company’s multi-tenant properties, which are generally, retail properties, such as power centers and lifestyle centers. In December 2017, in connection with a $210.0 million mortgage loan secured by 12 of the Company’s anchored, stabilized core retail properties, the Company entered into 12 identical property management agreements with the Property Manager, the substantive terms of which are substantially identical to the terms of the Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement, except they do not provide for the transition fees described below.
The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement entitles the Property Manager to a management fee equal to 4% of the gross rental receipts from the multi-tenant properties, including common area maintenance reimbursements, tax and insurance reimbursements, percentage rental payments, utility reimbursements, late fees, vending machine collections, service charges, rental interruption insurance, and a 15% administrative charge for common area expenses.
In addition, the Property Manager is entitled to transition fees of up to $2,500 for each multi-tenant property managed, a construction fee equal to 6% of construction costs incurred, if any, and reimbursement of all expenses specifically related to the operation of a multi-tenant property, including compensation and benefits of property management, accounting, lease administration, executive and supervisory personnel of the Property Manager, and excluding expenses of the Property Manager’s corporate and general management office and excluding compensation and other expenses applicable to time spent on matters other than the multi-tenant property.

Pursuant to the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement, the Company may, under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, pay the Property Manager a leasing fee for services in leasing multi-tenant properties to third parties.
The Company’s double- and triple-net leased single- tenant properties are managed by the Property Manager pursuant to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement, which permits the Property Manager to subcontract its duties to third parties and provides that the Company is responsible for all costs and expenses of managing the properties, except for general overhead and administrative expenses of the Property Manager. In December 2019, in connection with the Stop&Shop Loan, the Company entered into a property management and leasing agreement with the Property Manager with respect to the four properties securing the Stop & Shop Loan, the substantive terms of which are substantially identical to the terms of the Net Lease Property Management Agreement, except that it limits the fees payable to the Property Manager and any subcontractor to 3% of operating income in the event that the Property Manager subcontracts its duties under the agreement.
The current term of each of the Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement, the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement and the Net Lease Property Management Agreement ends on October 1, 2020, with automatic renewal for successive one-year terms unless terminated 60 days prior to the end of a term or terminated for cause.
Property Management and Services Agreement - Net Lease Mortgage Notes
Under the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager is responsible for servicing and administering the properties and leases securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes under ordinary and special circumstances, and KeyBank, as the back-up property manager, is responsible for, among other things, maintaining current servicing records and systems for the assets securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes in order to enable it to assume the responsibilities of the Property Manager in the event the Property Manager is no longer the property manager and special servicer. Pursuant to the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager may also be required to advance principal and interest payments on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes to preserve and protect the value of the applicable assets. The Company’s subsidiaries are required to reimburse any of these payments or advances.
Pursuant to the ABS Property Management Agreement, subsidiaries of the Company are required to pay the Property Manager a monthly fee equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.25%, and (ii) the aggregate allocated loan amounts of all the properties that serve as part of the collateral for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, except for specially serviced properties. With respect to the specially serviced properties, the Property Manager is entitled to receive a workout fee or liquidation fee under certain circumstances based on 0.50% of applicable amounts recovered, as well as a monthly fee equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.75%, and (ii) the aggregate allocated loan amounts of all the specially serviced properties that serve as part of the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes. The Property Manager has retained KeyBank as a sub-manager pursuant to a separate sub-management agreement pursuant to which KeyBank provides certain services the Property Manager is required to provide as property manager under the ABS Property Management Agreement. Under the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager has agreed to waive (i) the portion of the monthly fee related to the properties that are not specially serviced that is in excess of the amount to be paid to KeyBank as sub-manager pursuant to the sub-management agreement, (ii) the workout fee, (iii) the liquidation fee and (iv) the monthly fee related to the properties that are specially serviced, although the Property Manager retains the right to revoke these waivers at any time. The Property Manager is also entitled to receive additional servicing compensation related to certain fees and penalties under the leases it is responsible for under the ABS Property Management Agreement.
The services provided by the Property Manager with respect to the double- and triple-net leased single tenant properties in the collateral pool and related property management fees are separate and independent from the property management services the Property Manager has provided and will continue to provide with respect to those properties pursuant to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement.
Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements
The Company reimburses the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, including among other things, reasonable allocation of salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, except for costs to the extent that the employees perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee. The reimbursement includes reasonable overhead expenses, including the reimbursement of an allocated portion of rent expense at certain properties that are both occupied by employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and owned by affiliates of the Advisor. These reimbursements are exclusive of fees and other expense reimbursements incurred from and due to the Advisor that are passed through and ultimately paid to Lincoln as a result of the Advisor’s arrangements with Lincoln.
During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $9.8 million, $8.6 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of reimbursement expenses from the Advisor for providing administrative services, which is included in Professional

fees and other reimbursements in the table below. These reimbursements are included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Prior to Amendment No. 2, the Company had not reimbursed the Advisor or its affiliates, including the Property Manager, for salaries, wages, or benefits paid to the Company’s executive officers. Starting in 2019, under Amendment No. 2, the Company began to reimburse the Advisor for a portion of the salary, wages, and benefits paid to the Company’s chief financial officer as part of the aggregate reimbursement for salaries, wages and benefits of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, excluding any executive officer who is also a partner, member or equity owner of AR Global and subject to certain limitations.
Beginning in 2019, under Amendment No. 2, the aggregate amount that may be reimbursed in each fiscal year for salaries, wages and benefits (excluding overhead) of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates (the “Capped Reimbursement Amount”) is limited to the greater of:
(a) $7.0 million (the “Fixed Component”); and
(b) the variable component (the “Variable Component”), which is defined in Amendment No. 2 as, for any fiscal year:
(i) the sum of the total real estate investments, at cost as recorded on the balance sheet dated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (the “Real Estate Cost”) in the year divided by four, which amount is then (ii) multiplied by 0.20%.
Both the Fixed Component and the Variable Component will also be increased by an annual cost of living adjustment equal to the portion of the Capped Reimbursement Amount (as determined above) multiplied by the greater of (x) 3.0% and (y) the CPI, as defined in Amendment No. 2, for the prior year ended December 31st.
In the event of a reduction in the Real Estate Cost by 25% or more pursuant to instructions from the Company’s board of directors, in one or a series of related dispositions in which the proceeds of the disposition(s) are not reinvested in Investments (as defined in the Third A&R Advisory Agreement), then within 12 months following the disposition(s), the Advisor and the Company will enter into good faith negotiations to reset the Fixed Component; provided that if the proceeds of the disposition(s) are paid to shareholders of the Company as a special distribution or used to repay loans with no intent of subsequently re-financing and re-investing the proceeds thereof in Investments, the Advisor and the Company will enter into good faith negotiations to reset the Fixed Component within 90 days thereof, in each case taking into account reasonable projections of reimbursable costs in light of the reduced assets of the Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the total amount of reimbursements by the Company to the Advisor for salaries, wages and benefits that were subject to the Capped Reimbursement Amount was $7.2 million, which was less than the $7.4 million Variable Component of the Capped Reimbursement Amount.

Amounts included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a reduction of general and administrative expenses in the amount of $0.8 million related to the reversal of a payable balance at December 31, 2018 due to American National Stock Transfer, LLC, a subsidiary of RCS Capital Corporation (“RCAP”), which at the time the payable balance was recorded and prior to its bankruptcy filing was under common control with the Advisor. RCAP was also the parent company of Realty Capital Securities, LLC, the dealer manager in the Company’s initial public offering.
[4] 
Balance includes costs which were incurred and accrued due to RCAP in the amount of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2018. These costs were recognized as income within the general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2019.
[5] 
Balance includes a receivable of $0.7 million from the Advisor as of December 31, 2019 previously recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018, which, pursuant to authorization by the independent members of the Company’s board of directors, is payable over time during 2020.

Subsequent to the Listing the Class B Units were fully vested and converted to Class A Units, which were then redeemed for shares of Class A common stock. Distributions with respect to shares of Class A common stock are treated as equity distributions whereas distributions with respect to Class B Units were treated as additional compensation and expensed.
Listing Arrangements
Fees Incurred in Connection with a Listing
Pursuant to the A&R OP Agreement, in connection with the Listing, the OP was obligated to distribute to the Special Limited Partner a promissory note in an aggregate amount (the “Listing Amount”) equal to 15.0% of the difference (to the extent the result is a positive number) between:
the sum of (i) the “Market Value” (as defined in the A&R OP Agreement) of the Company’s common stock plus (ii) the sum of all distributions or dividends (from any source) paid by the Company to its stockholders prior to the Listing; and
the sum of (i) the gross proceeds (“Gross Proceeds”) of all public and private offerings, including issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a merger (including the Merger) or business combination (an “Offering”) as of the Listing Date plus (ii) the total amount of cash that, if distributed to those stockholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock in an Offering prior to the Listing, would have provided those stockholders a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded, pre-tax annual return (based on a 365-day year) on the Gross Proceeds.
Effective at the Listing, the OP entered into a listing note agreement with respect to this obligation (the “Listing Note”) with the Special Limited Partner and entered into a related subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the administrative agent under the Credit Facility, BMO Bank. The Listing Note evidenced the OP’s obligation to distribute to the Special Limited Partner the Listing Amount. The measurement period used to calculate the average Market Value of the Company’s common stock was from July 8, 2019 to August 16, 2019, the 30 consecutive trading days commencing on the 180th day following the date on which shares of Class B-2 common stock converted into shares of Class A common stock. Based on the actual Market Value during the measurement period, the Listing Amount was zero, and the Company has no distribution obligation to the Special Limited Partner related to the Listing Note. The final fair value of the Listing Note is zero, the same fair value the Listing Note had at issuance. The fair value at issuance was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, which used a combination of observable and unobservable inputs.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On the Listing Date, the Company granted a performance-based equity award to the Advisor in the form of a Master LTIP Unit (the “Master LTIP Unit”) pursuant to the 2018 OPP which, together with the Second A&R OP Agreement, superseded in all respects the general terms of the multi-year outperformance agreement and the amendment and restatement of the limited partnership agreement of the OP previously approved by the Company’s board of directors in April 2015 to be effective upon a listing of the Company’s common stock. On August 30, 2018, the Master LTIP Units automatically converted into 4,496,796 LTIP Units in accordance with its terms. For additional information on the 2018 OPP, see Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation.
Class A Unit Redemptions
Holders of Class A Units have the right to redeem their Class A Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of Class A common stock, or at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the Second A&R OP Agreement. Holders of OP Units had similar rights under the prior A&R OP Agreement. The remaining rights of the limited partner interests are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP’s assets.
Subsequent to the Listing, all of the Class A Units held by the Advisor and its affiliates were redeemed for shares of Class A common stock and all of the shares of Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock owned by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Special Limited Partner) were distributed pro rata to the individual members of those

entities, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. See Note 19 — Stockholders’ Equity for additional information regarding these transactions.
Note 12 — Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting and legal services, human resources and information technology.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.
Note 13 — Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Plans
Restricted Share Plan
Prior to the Listing, the Company’s board of directors had adopted an employee and director restricted share plan (the “RSP”), pursuant to which the Company could issue restricted shares and restricted stock units in respect of shares of common stock (“RSUs”) under specific award agreements to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company.
2018 Equity Plan
Effective at the Listing, the Company’s board of directors adopted an equity plan for the Advisor (the “Advisor Plan”) and an equity plan for individuals (the “Individual Plan” and together with the Advisor Plan, the “2018 Equity Plan”). The Advisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Participation in the Individual Plan is open to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. By contrast, participation in the Advisor Plan is only open to the Advisor.
The 2018 Equity Plan succeeded and replaced the existing RSP. Following the effectiveness of the 2018 Equity Plan at the Listing, no further awards will be issued under the RSP; provided, however, that any outstanding awards under the RSP, such as unvested restricted shares held by the Company’s independent directors, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the RSP until all those awards are vested, forfeited, canceled, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with their terms. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The 2018 Equity Plan, in addition to restricted shares and RSUs which were previously provided for the RSP, permits awards of options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, LTIP Units and other equity awards. The 2018 Equity Plan has a term of 10 years, commencing on the Listing Date. Identical to the RSP, the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock available for awards under the 2018 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 10.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa. If any awards granted under the 2018 Equity Plan are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares is again available for purposes of granting awards under the 2018 Equity Plan.
Restricted Shares and RSUs
Restricted shares are shares of common stock awarded under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. For restricted shares awarded to the Company’s directors, the awards provide for accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient’s termination of his or her position as a director of the Company due to a voluntary resignation or failure to be re-elected to the Company’s board of directors following nomination therefor. All unvested restricted shares also vest in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the RSP or the Individual Plan) or a termination of a directorship without cause or as a result of death or disability. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares may receive cash dividends prior to the time

that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any dividends to holders of restricted shares payable in shares of common stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $1.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
The fair value of the restricted shares is being expensed in accordance with the service period required. Compensation expense related to restricted shares was approximately $1.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted shares is included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
RSUs represent a contingent right to receive shares of common stock at a future settlement date, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions, as set forth in the RSP and an award agreement evidencing the grant of RSUs. RSUs may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the rights to the shares of common stock have vested. Holders of RSUs do not have or receive any voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any shares underlying any award of RSUs, but such holders are generally credited with dividend or other distribution equivalents which are subject to the same vesting conditions and other restrictions as the underlying RSUs and only paid at the time such RSUs are settled in shares of common stock. The Company has not granted any RSUs, and no unvested RSUs were outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On the Listing Date, the Company granted a performance-based equity award to the Advisor in the form of a Master LTIP Unit pursuant to the 2018 OPP. The Master LTIP Unit was automatically converted on August 30, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the 30th trading day following the Listing Date, into 4,496,796 LTIP Units equal to the quotient of $72.0 million divided by $16.0114, the ten-day trailing average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq over the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Initial Share Price”). The Effective Date was the grant date for accounting purposes. In accordance with the early adoption of ASU 2018-07 (see Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), the total fair value of the LTIP Units of $32.0 million was calculated and fixed as of the grant date, and is being recorded over the requisite service period of three years. In March 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 OPP to reflect a change in the peer group resulting from the merger of one member of the peer group, Select Income REIT, with Government Properties Income Trust, with the entity surviving the merger renamed as Office Properties Income Trust. Under the accounting rules, the Company was required to calculate any excess of the new value of LTIP Units in accordance with the provisions of the amendment ($10.9 million) over the fair value immediately prior to the amendment ($8.1 million). This excess of approximately $2.8 million is being expensed over the period from March 4, 2019, the date the Company’s compensation committee approved the amendment, through August 30, 2021.
As a result, during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the LTIP Units of $11.6 million and $4.8 million, which is recorded in equity-based compensation in the consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $18.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related the LTIP Units which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.4 years.
LTIP Units represent the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned by the Advisor during a performance period commencing on July 19, 2018 and ending on the earliest of (i) July 19, 2021, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as advisor of the Company (the “Performance Period”).
Half of the LTIP Units (the “Absolute TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the last day of the Performance Period (the “Valuation Date”) if the Company achieves an absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the Performance Period as follows:

If the Company’s absolute TSR is more than 24% but less than 30%, or more than 30% but less than 36%, the percentage of the Absolute TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Half of the LTIP Units (the “Relative TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the Valuation Date if the amount, expressed in terms of basis points, whether positive or negative, by which the Company’s absolute TSR for the Performance Period exceeds the average TSR of a peer group for the Performance Period consisting of Colony Capital, Inc., Lexington Realty Trust, RPT Realty (formerly known as Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust), Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. and Office Properties Income Trust as follows:

If the relative TSR excess is more than -600 basis points but less than 0 basis points, or more than 0 basis points but less than +600 basis points, the percentage of the Relative TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
The Advisor, as the holder of the LTIP Units, is entitled to distributions on the LTIP Units equal to 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit (other than distributions of sale proceeds) until the LTIP Units are earned. These distributions are not subject to forfeiture, even if the LTIP Units are ultimately forfeited. The Master LTIP Unit was entitled, on the Effective Date, to receive a distribution equal to the product of 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit during the period from the Listing Date to the Effective Date multiplied by the number of LTIP Units. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid distributions on the LTIP Units of $0.5 million, which is recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. If any LTIP Units are earned, the holder will be entitled to a priority catch-up distribution on each earned LTIP Unit equal to the aggregate distributions paid on a Class A Unit during the Performance Period, less the aggregate distributions paid on the LTIP Unit during the Performance Period. As of the Valuation Date, the earned LTIP Units will become entitled to receive the same distributions paid on the Class A Units. Further, at the time the Advisor’s capital account with respect to an LTIP Unit is economically equivalent to the average capital account balance of a Class A Unit, the LTIP Unit has been earned and it has been vested for 30 days, the Advisor, as the holder of the earned LTIP Unit in its sole discretion, will, in accordance with the Second A&R OP Agreement, be entitled to convert the LTIP Unit into a Class A Unit, which may, in turn, be redeemed on a one-for-one basis for, at the Company’s election, a share of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof.

If the Valuation Date is the effective date of a Change of Control or a termination of the Advisor without Cause (as defined in the Third A&R Advisory Agreement), then calculations relating to the number of LTIP Units earned pursuant to the 2018 OPP will be based on actual performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable), with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the Performance Period lasted less than three years but without pro-rating the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn to reflect the shortened period.
If the Valuation Date is the effective date of a termination of the Advisor with Cause, then calculations relating to the number of LTIP Units earned pursuant to the 2018 OPP will be based on actual performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the termination, with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the Performance Period lasted less than three years and with the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn also pro-rated to reflect the shortened period.
The award of LTIP Units under the 2018 OPP is administered by the compensation committee, provided that any of the compensation committee’s powers can be exercised instead by the Company’s board of directors if the board of directors so elects. Following the Valuation Date, the compensation committee is responsible for determining the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units earned, as calculated by an independent consultant engaged by the compensation committee and as approved by the compensation committee in its reasonable and good faith discretion. The compensation committee also must approve the transfer of any Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units (or Class A Units into which they may be converted in accordance with the terms of the A&R LPA).
LTIP Units earned as of the Valuation Date will also become vested as of the Valuation Date. Any LTIP Units that are not earned and vested after the compensation committee makes the required determination will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP, effective as of the Valuation Date.
Director Compensation
Effective on the Listing Date, the Company’s board of directors approved a new director compensation program, which replaced the Company’s existing director compensation program and superseded in all respects the director compensation previously approved by the Company’s board of directors in April 2015. Under the new director compensation program, in addition to cash compensation, each of the Company’s directors received a one-time retention grant on September 5, 2018 of 21,234 restricted shares, representing the number of restricted shares equal to the quotient of $340,000 divided by the Initial Share Price, vesting annually over a three-year period commencing on the Listing Date in equal installments. In addition, in connection with each of the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders, each independent director receives a grant of $85,000 in restricted shares, vesting on the one-year anniversary of the annual meeting. Because the independent directors did not receive an annual grant of restricted shares in connection with the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Company’s existing director compensation program, on September 5, 2018 the independent directors received a grant of 5,308 restricted shares pursuant to the new director compensation program, representing the number of restricted shares equal to the quotient of $85,000 divided by the Initial Share price, vesting on the first anniversary of the Listing Date.
The lead independent director receives an additional annual cash retainer of $100,000, the chair of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors receives an additional annual cash retainer of $30,000, each other member of the audit committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000, the chair of each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company’s board of directors receives an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000, and each other member of each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000.
Other Equity-Based Compensation
The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors at each director’s election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued since these payments in lieu of cash relate to fees earned for services performed. There were no shares of common stock issued to directors in lieu of cash compensation during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting or conversion of restricted shares and Class A Units into an equivalent number of unrestricted shares of common stock and the conversion of Class B Units, prior to their vesting and conversion into Class A Units which were redeemed for shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Listing (see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for additional information), unless the effect is antidilutive. If dilutive, conditionally issuable shares relating to the 2018 OPP award (see Note 13 — Share-Based Compensation) would be included in the computation of fully diluted EPS on a weighted-average basis for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 based on shares that would be issued if the balance sheet date were the end of the measurement period. No LTIP Unit share equivalents were included in the computation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 because no LTIP Units would have been earned based on the trading price of Class A common stock at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company had the following restricted shares, Class A Units, Class B Units and LTIP Units on a weighted-average basis that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods presented, or in the case of Class B Units, certain contingencies had not been met as of December 31, 2017:

EXHIBIT 4.10

DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The following is a description of American Finance Trust, Inc.’s securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2019 and certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), our charter and bylaws. The description is a summary, does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and to our charter (including any applicable articles supplementary classifying a class or series of preferred stock) and bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and are incorporated by reference herein.
As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to American Finance Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation.
General
Our charter authorizes us to issue a total of 350,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 8,796,000 are classified as shares of 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”).
Our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board of directors and without any action taken by our stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of our authorized shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. Under Maryland law, stockholders are not generally liable for our debts or obligations solely as a result of their status as stockholders.
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “AFIN,” our Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AFINP.”
Common Stock
Subject to the preferential rights, if any, of holders of any other class or series of our stock and to the provisions of our charter relating to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, the holders of our common stock: 
have the right to receive ratably any distributions from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if authorized by our board of directors and declared by us; and
are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs.
 Upon issuance for full payment therefor, all common stock issued by us will be fully paid and non-assessable. There are no redemption, sinking fund, conversion or preemptive rights with respect to the shares of our common stock. Holders of our common stock generally will have no appraisal rights.
 Subject to the provisions of our charter relating to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock and except as may otherwise be provided in the charter, holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which holders of our common stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of our stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.





 Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote for the election of directors.
Preferred Stock
General

Under our charter, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, to establish the number of shares in each class or series and to fix the terms thereof. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction that holders of common stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of the shares of common stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of such shares of common stock.
 
Some of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of preferred stock of a class or series may include the following:
 
distribution rights;
conversion rights;
voting rights;
redemption rights and terms of redemptions; and
liquidation preferences.

Series A Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2019, 8,796,000 shares of preferred stock were classified and designated as Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to our charter.
Ranking
The Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, ranks:
senior to our common stock and to all other equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock;
​on parity with all other equity securities ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock; and
​junior to any class or series of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock.
The authorization or issuance of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock would require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of any other similarly-affected classes and series of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock. Any convertible debt securities that we may issue will not be considered to be “equity securities” for these purposes prior to the time of conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all our existing and future indebtedness. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock do not limit our ability to (i) incur indebtedness or (ii) issue additional equity securities that rank junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Dividends
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends in the amount of  $1.8750 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation





preference per share per annum. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day, for each quarterly period commencing on and including the 1st day of January, April, July and October of each year and ending on and including the day preceding the first day of the next succeeding dividend period to all holders of record on the applicable record date, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us. Holders of record of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the record date fixed by our board of directors for any dividend will be entitled to receive the full dividend paid on the applicable dividend payment date even if such shares were not issued and outstanding for the full dividend period.
Any dividend, including any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period, is computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends are payable to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as they appear in the transfer agent’s records at the close of business on the applicable record date, which will be the date that our board of directors sets as the record date for the payment of a dividend that is not more than 30 nor fewer than 10 days prior to the applicable dividend payment date.
Our board of directors will not authorize, and we will not pay or declare and set apart for payment, any dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock at any time that:
the terms and conditions of any of our agreements, including our credit facility or any other agreement relating to our indebtedness, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment;
​the terms and conditions of any of our agreements, including our credit facility or any other agreement relating to our indebtedness, provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach of, or a default under, the agreement; or
​the law restricts or prohibits the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue whether or not the dividends are authorized by our board of directors and declared by us, from the later of the first date on which the Series A Preferred Stock is issued and the most recent dividend payment date on which dividends have been paid.
Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock do not bear interest.
We will not pay or declare and set apart for payment any dividends (other than a dividend paid in common stock or other stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up) or declare or make any distribution of cash or other property on common stock or other stock that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up or redeem or otherwise acquire common stock or other stock that ranks junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up (except (i) by conversion into or exchange for common stock or other stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) for the redemption of shares of our stock pursuant to the provisions of our charter relating to the restrictions upon ownership and transfer of our equity securities and (iii) for a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up), unless we also have either paid or declared and set apart for payment full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we do not either pay or declare and set apart for payment full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and all stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, with respect to dividends, the amount which we have declared will be allocated pro rata to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and to each equally ranked class or series of stock, so that the amount declared for each share of Series A Preferred Stock and for each share of each equally ranked class or series of stock is proportionate to the accrued and unpaid dividends on those shares. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock will first be credited against the earliest accrued and unpaid dividend.





If, for any taxable year, we elect to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code (as defined below)) a portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the dividends not in excess of our earnings and profits that are paid or made available for the year to the holders of all classes or series of stock outstanding (the “Total Dividends”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that will be allocable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be in the same proportion that the Total Dividends paid or made available to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for the taxable year bears to the Total Dividends for the taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of stock outstanding.
Liquidation Preference
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders a liquidation preference of  $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution or payment may be made to holders of common stock or any other class or series of our equity stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation rights. If, upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the full amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of each other class or series of stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation rights, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation rights will share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to written notice of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up at least 20 days before the payment date of the liquidating distribution. After the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have received the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, they will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets.
In determining whether any distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution) by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Company or otherwise is permitted under the MGCL, amounts that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be added to the Company’s total liabilities.
Our consolidation, conversion or merger with or into any other person or entity or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our property or business, whether in connection with a Change of Control or otherwise, will not be deemed to constitute our liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Optional Redemption
The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to March 26, 2024, except in the circumstances described in this section, in the section below titled “Special Optional Redemption,” or pursuant to certain provisions of our charter. See “ — Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Stock” below.
Notwithstanding any other provision relating to redemption or repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, we may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, whether before or after March 26, 2024, at a redemption price of  $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), pursuant to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our equity securities set forth in our charter or if our board of directors otherwise determines that redemption is necessary for us to preserve our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
On and after March 26, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price of  $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (unless the redemption date is after a dividend record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for the accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in the redemption price), without interest, upon the giving of notice, as provided below.





If less than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed will be determined pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot. If the redemption is to be by lot, and if as a result of the redemption any holder of Series A Preferred Stock would own, or be deemed by virtue of certain attribution provisions of the Code to own, in excess of 9.8% in value of our issued and outstanding equity securities (which includes the Series A Preferred Stock) or 9.8% in value or number of shares (whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our issued and outstanding equity securities or violate any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our equity securities set forth in our charter, then, except in certain instances, we will redeem the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of that holder so that the holder will not own or be deemed by virtue of certain attribution provisions of the Code to own, subsequent to the redemption, in excess of 9.8% in value of our issued and outstanding equity securities or 9.8% in value or number of shares (whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our issued and outstanding equity securities or violate any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer set forth in our charter.
We will mail to record holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, a notice of redemption no less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. We will send the notice to the record holder’s address, as shown on our share transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock except as to shares held by any holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice will state the following:
the redemption date;
the redemption price;
​the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (and, if less than all the shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from the holder);
​the place or places where the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing the shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents we require in connection with redemption; and
​that dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will cease to accrue on the redemption date.
Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed. In addition, unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, we will not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any Series A Preferred Stock (except (i) by exchange for our equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) pursuant to the provisions of our charter relating to restrictions on ownership and transfer of our equity securities and (iii) pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to the holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up). So long as no dividends on Series A Preferred Stock for any past dividend period are in arrears, we are entitled at any time and from time to time to repurchase Series A Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by our board of directors and effected in compliance with applicable laws and these requirements will not prevent our purchase or acquisition of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any other stock that ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up or our redemption of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the provisions of our charter relating to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our equity securities.
Special Optional Redemption





During any period of time (whether before or after March 26, 2024) that both (i) the Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq, and (ii) we are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, but any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (a “Delisting Event”), we have the option to redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 90 days after the occurrence of the Delisting Event, for a redemption price of  $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (unless the redemption date is after a dividend record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for the accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in the redemption price), upon the giving of notice, as provided below.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 120 days after the first date on which the Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (unless the redemption date is after a dividend record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for the accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in the redemption price). If, prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date (each as defined below), as applicable, we provide notice of redemption with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption rights), you will not have the conversion right described below under “— Conversion Rights.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not have the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon any Delisting Event occurring in connection with a transaction set forth in the first bullet point of the definition of Change of Control unless the Delisting Event also constitutes a Change of Control wherein following the closing of any such transaction, neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity, or a parent of us or the acquiring or surviving entity, has a class of common equity securities listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq.
We will mail record holders of Series A Preferred Stock, a notice of redemption no less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. We will send the notice to the record holder’s address, as shown on our share transfer books. A failure to give notice of redemption or any defect in the notice or in its mailing with not affect the validity of the redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice will state the following:
the redemption date;
​the redemption price;
​the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed;
​the place or places where the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing the shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents we require in connection with the redemption;
​that the Series A Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to our special optional redemption right in connection with the occurrence of a Change of Control or a Delisting Event, as applicable, and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting the Change of Control or Delisting Event, as applicable;
​that holders of Series A Preferred Stock to which the notice relates will not be able to tender the Series A Preferred Stock for conversion in connection with the Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable, and each Series A Preferred Stock tendered for conversion that is selected, prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, for redemption will be redeemed on the related redemption date instead of converted on the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable; and





​that dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.
A “Change of Control” occurs when, after the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the following have occurred and are continuing:
the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger, conversion or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers, conversions or other acquisition transactions, of shares of our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except that the person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that the person has the right to acquire, whether the right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and
following the closing of any transaction referred to in the bullet point above, neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity, or a parent of the Company or the acquiring or surviving entity, has a class of common equity securities listed on the NYSE, the NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq, or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, NYSE American LLC or Nasdaq.
Additional Provisions Relating to Optional Redemption and Special Optional Redemption
If  (i) we have given a notice of redemption, (ii) we have set apart sufficient funds for the redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price and an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, then from and after the redemption date, those shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption will no longer be outstanding, no further dividends will accrue and all other rights of the holders of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price, without interest. The holders of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock will retain their right to receive the redemption price for their shares and an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon redemption, without interest.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on a dividend record date will be entitled to receive the dividend payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock between the record date and the corresponding dividend payment date.
All shares of Series A Preferred Stock that we redeem or reacquire in any manner will return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without further designation as to series or class and may thereafter be classified, reclassified or issued as any series or class of preferred stock.
Conversion Rights
Upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, as applicable, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock has the right, unless, prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as described under “— Optional Redemption” or “— Special Optional Redemption,” to convert some of or all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the holder (the “Delisting Event Conversion Right” or “Change of Control Conversion Right,” as applicable) on the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, into a number of shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”) equal to the lesser of:
the quotient of  (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock to, but not including, the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable (unless the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, is after a dividend record date and prior to the corresponding





dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for the accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum), divided by (ii) the Common Stock Price; and
​4.4924 (the “Share Cap”).
The Share Cap is subject to pro rata adjustments for any stock splits (including those effected pursuant to a common stock dividend), subdivisions or combinations (in each case, a “Stock Split”) with respect to shares of our common stock as follows: the adjusted Share Cap as the result of a Stock Split will be the number of shares of our common stock that is equivalent to the product of  (i) the Share Cap in effect immediately prior to the Stock Split, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of our common stock outstanding after giving effect to the Stock Split and the denominator of which is the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Stock Split.
If a Delisting Event or a Change of Control occurs, pursuant to or in connection with which shares of our common stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which the holder would have owned or been entitled to receive had the holder held a number of shares of our common stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable (the “Alternative Conversion Consideration,” and the Common Stock Conversion Consideration or the Alternative Conversion Consideration, as may be applicable to a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, is referred to as the “Conversion Consideration”).
If the holders of shares of our common stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in connection with the Delisting Event or Change of Control, the Conversion Consideration that holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive will be the form of consideration elected by the holders of a plurality of the shares of common stock held by stockholders who participate in the election and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of shares of common stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable.
We will not issue fractional shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead, we will pay the cash value of any fractional shares based on the Common Stock Price.
Within 15 days following the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, as applicable, unless we have then provided notice of our election to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as described under “— Optional Redemption” or “— Special Optional Redemption,” we will provide to holders of record of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock a notice of occurrence of the Delisting Event or Change of Control that describes the resulting Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable. A failure to give notice of conversion or any defect in the notice or in its mailing will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom this notice was defective or not given. This notice will state the following:
the events constituting the Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable;
​the date of the Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable;
​the last date on which the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise their Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable;
​the method and period for calculating the Common Stock Price;
​the “Delisting Event Conversion Date” or “Change of Control Conversion Date,” as applicable, which will be a business day fixed by our board of directors that is not fewer than 20 and not more than 35 days following the date of the notice;





​that if, prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, we provide notice of our election to redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be able to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed on the related redemption date, even if they have already been tendered for conversion pursuant to the Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable;
​if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Conversion Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series A Preferred Stock;
​the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion agent; and
​the procedures that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable.
We will issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones & Company, Inc., Business Wire, PR Newswire or Bloomberg Business News (or, if these organizations are not in existence at the time of issuance of the press release, another news or press organization as is reasonably calculated to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public) containing the information stated in the notice, and post the notice on our website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first business day following any date on which we provide the notice described above to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock.
To exercise the Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, a holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock will be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, the certificates, if any, representing any certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a completed written conversion notice and any other documents we reasonably require in connection with the conversion, to our conversion agent. The conversion notice must state:
the relevant Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable; and
​the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted.
The “Common Stock Price” for any Change of Control will be (i) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of shares of our common stock is solely cash, the amount of cash consideration per share of common stock, and (ii) if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of shares of our common stock is other than solely cash, the average of the closing price per share of our common stock on the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control. The “Common Stock Price” for any Delisting Event will be the average of the closing price per share of our common stock on the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Delisting Event.
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Delisting Event Conversion Right or a Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to our conversion agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable. The notice of withdrawal must state:
the number of withdrawn shares of Series A Preferred Stock;
​if certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been tendered for conversion and withdrawn, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and
​the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the conversion notice.





Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series A Preferred Stock is held in global form, the conversion notice and/or the notice of withdrawal, as applicable, must comply with applicable procedures of DTC.
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which the Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, has been properly exercised and for which the conversion notice has not been properly withdrawn will be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration on the applicable Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, unless prior thereto we provide notice of our election to redeem those shares of Series A Preferred Stock, whether pursuant to our optional redemption right or our special optional redemption right. If we elect to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would otherwise be converted into the applicable Conversion Consideration on a Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not be so converted and the holders of the shares will be entitled to receive on the applicable redemption date the redemption price for the shares.
We will deliver amounts owing upon conversion no later than the third business day following the Delisting Event Conversion Date or Change of Control Conversion Date, as applicable.
In connection with the exercise of any Delisting Event Conversion Right or Change of Control Conversion Right, as applicable, we will be required to comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws and stock exchange rules in connection with any conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Series A Preferred Stock, no holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of our common stock to the extent that receipt of the shares of common stock would cause the holder (or any other person) to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our equity securities contained in our charter. See “— Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Stock” below.
These Change of Control conversion and redemption features may make it more difficult for or discourage a party from pursuing a takeover or other transaction that holders of common stock might believe to be in their best interests or in which holders of some, or a majority, of the shares of common stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then market price of such shares of common stock.
Except as provided above in connection with a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, the Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities.
Voting Rights
Except as described below, holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights. On any matter in which the Series A Preferred Stock may vote (as expressly provided in our charter), each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to cast one vote, except that, when voting together as a single class with shares of any other class or series of voting preferred stock, shares of different classes or series will vote in proportion to the liquidation preference of the shares.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to vote whenever dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, whether or not declared, for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not these quarterly periods are consecutive. In this case, holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, which we refer to as “voting preferred stock,” and with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class, will have the exclusive power, voting together as a single class, to elect, at any special meeting called by our secretary at the written request of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of voting preferred stock (unless the request is received more than 45 days and less than 90 days before our next annual meeting of stockholders at which the vote would occur) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders, two additional directors to serve on our board of directors. The right of holders of Series A Preferred Stock to vote in the election of directors will terminate when all dividends accrued and unpaid on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then-current dividend period have been fully paid. Unless the number of our directors has previously been increased pursuant to the terms of any other class or series of voting preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class in the election of





directors, the number of our directors will automatically increase by two at the time as holders of Series A Preferred Stock become entitled to vote in the election of two additional directors. Unless shares of voting preferred stock remain outstanding and entitled to vote in the election of directors, the term of office of these directors will terminate, and the number of our directors will automatically decrease by two, when all dividends accrued and unpaid for all past dividend periods and the then-current dividend period on the Series A Preferred Stock have been fully paid. If the right of holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the two additional directors terminates after the record date for determining holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors but before the closing of the polls in the election, holders of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date will not be entitled to vote in the election of directors. The right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect the additional directors will again vest if and whenever dividends are in arrears for six quarterly periods, as described above. In no event will the holders of Series A Preferred Stock be entitled to nominate or elect an individual as a director, and no individual will be qualified to be nominated for election or to serve as a director, if the individual’s service as a director would cause us to fail to satisfy a requirement relating to director independence of any national securities exchange on which any class or series of our stock is listed or otherwise conflict with our charter or bylaws.
The additional directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors, and each of these directors will serve until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies, or until the director’s term of office terminates as described above. Any director elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of voting preferred stock, voting together as a single class, may be removed, with or without cause, only by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all classes or series of voting preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class in the election of directors. At any time that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote in the election of the two additional directors, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote in the election of a successor to fill any vacancy on our board of directors that results from the removal of the director.
At any time that holders of Series A Preferred Stock, and any other class or series of voting preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote as a single class in the election of directors, have the right to elect two additional directors as described above but these directors have not been elected, our secretary must call a special meeting for the purpose of electing the additional directors upon the written request of the holders of record of 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of voting preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class with respect to the election of directors, unless the request is received more than 45 days and less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual meeting of our stockholders at which the vote would occur, in which case, the additional directors may be elected either at the annual meeting or at a separate special meeting of our stockholders at our discretion.
So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of any equally-affected class or series of voting preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote (voting together as a single class), is required to authorize (a) any amendment, alteration, repeal or other change to any provision of our charter, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (whether by merger, conversion, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or otherwise), that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (b) the creation, issuance or increase in the authorized number of shares of any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (or any equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares) with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of voting preferred stock will not be entitled to vote together as a class with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock on any amendment, alteration, repeal or other change to any provision of our charter unless the action affects the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the voting preferred stock equally.
The following actions will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock:





any increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock of any class or series or the classification or reclassification of any unissued shares, or the creation or issuance of equity securities, of any class or series ranking, junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up;
​any amendment, alteration or repeal or other change to any provision of our charter, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as a result of a merger, conversion, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or other business combination, whether or not we are the surviving entity, if the Series A Preferred Stock (or stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock has been converted in any successor person or entity to us) remains outstanding with the terms thereof unchanged in all material respects or is exchanged for stock of the successor person or entity with substantially identical rights; or
​any amendment, alteration or repeal or other change to any provision of our charter, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, as a result of a merger, conversion, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our assets or other business combination, if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of the event.
The voting provisions above will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which the vote would otherwise be required would occur, we have redeemed or called for redemption all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption
The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions.
Summary of Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Stock
Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of our common stock and other outstanding shares of stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to certain exceptions, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of our capital stock or more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. For further information regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock, see “— Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Stock” below.
Conversion
The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into any other property or securities, except as provided under “— Conversion Rights.”





Information Rights
During any period in which we are not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, we will (i) transmit by mail or other permissible means under the Exchange Act to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock as their names and addresses appear in our record books and without cost to the holders, copies of the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we were subject thereto (other than any exhibits that would have been required) within 15 days after the respective dates by which we would have been required to file these reports with the SEC if we were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and (ii) within 15 days following written request, supply copies of these reports to any prospective holder of Series A Preferred Stock.
Preemptive Rights
No holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall, as a result of his, her or its status as such holder, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for shares of our common stock or any of our other securities.
Certain Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and our Charter and Bylaws
Power to Reclassify Shares of Our Stock
Our board of directors may classify any unissued shares of preferred stock, and reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or any previously classified but unissued shares of preferred stock, into other classes or series of stock, including one or more classes or series of stock that have priority over our common stock with respect to voting rights, distributions or upon liquidation, and authorize us to issue the newly classified shares. Prior to the issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of directors is required by the MGCL and our charter to set, subject to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each such class or series. These actions can be taken without stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law, the terms of any other class or series of our stock or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded.
Power to Increase Authorized Stock and Issue Additional Shares of Our Common Stock and Preferred Stock
We believe that the power of our board of directors to amend our charter from time to time to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock and the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have the authority to issue, to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and thereafter to cause us to issue such classified or reclassified shares of stock will provide us with flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise. Shares of additional classes or series of stock, as well as additional shares of common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder consent is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities are then listed or traded. Although our board of directors does not intend to do so, it could authorize us to issue a class or series of common stock or preferred stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of us that might involve a premium price for our stockholders or otherwise be in their best interest.
Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Stock
In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shares of our stock must be owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year for which an election to be taxed as a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Also, under Section 856(h) of the Code, a REIT cannot be “closely held.” In this regard, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made).





 Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of our common stock and other outstanding shares of stock. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock or more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our shares of stock; we refer to these limitations as the “ownership limits.”
 The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause shares of stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of stock or 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of our shares of stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, shares of our stock by an individual or entity), could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to violate the ownership limits.
 Our board of directors may, upon receipt of certain representations, undertakings and agreements and in its sole discretion, exempt (prospectively or retroactively) any person from the ownership limits and establish a different limit, or excepted holder limit, for a particular person if the person’s ownership in excess of the ownership limits will not then or in the future result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the person’s interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. In order to be considered by our board of directors for exemption, a person also must not own, actually or constructively, an interest in one of our tenants (or a tenant of any entity which we own or control) that would cause us to own, actually or constructively, more than a 9.9% interest in the tenant unless the revenue derived by us from such tenant is sufficiently small that, in the opinion of our board of directors, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. The person seeking an exemption must provide such representations and undertakings to the satisfaction of our board of directors that it will not violate these two restrictions. The person also must agree that any violation or attempted violation of these restrictions will result in the automatic transfer to a charitable trust of the shares of stock causing the violation. As a condition of granting an exemption or creating an excepted holder limit, our board of directors may, but is not be required to, obtain an opinion of counsel or Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) ruling satisfactory to our board of directors with respect to our qualification as a REIT and may impose such other conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate.
 Our board of directors may increase or decrease the ownership limits. Any decrease in the ownership limits will not be effective for any person whose percentage ownership of shares of our stock is in excess of such decreased limits until such person’s percentage ownership of shares of our stock equals or falls below such decreased limits (other than a decrease as a result of a retroactive change in existing law, which will be effective immediately), but any further acquisition of shares of our stock in excess of such percentage ownership will be in violation of the applicable decreased limits. Our board of directors may not increase or decrease the ownership limits if, after giving effect to such increase or decrease, five or fewer persons could beneficially own or constructively own in the aggregate more than 49.9% in value of the shares of our stock then outstanding. Prior to any modification of the ownership limits, our board of directors may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure our qualification as a REIT.
 Our charter further prohibits:
any person from beneficially or constructively owning, applying certain attribution rules of the Code, shares of our stock that would result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the stockholder’s interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT; and
any person from transferring shares of our stock if such transfer would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution).
Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that will or may violate the ownership limits or any of the other foregoing restrictions on ownership and





transfer of our stock will be required to immediately give written notice to us or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days’ prior written notice to us, and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer on our qualification as a REIT. The ownership limits and the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock is no longer required in order for us to qualify as a REIT.
 If any transfer of shares of our stock would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer will be void from the time of such purported transfer and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares. In addition, if any purported transfer of shares of our stock or any other event would otherwise result in:
any person violating the ownership limits or such other limit established by our board of directors; or
us being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the stockholder’s interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, 
then that number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) that would cause us to violate such restrictions will automatically be transferred to, and held by, a charitable trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable organizations selected by us, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares. The transfer will be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the charitable trust. A person who, but for the transfer of the shares to the charitable trust, would have beneficially or constructively owned the shares so transferred is referred to as a “prohibited owner,” which, if appropriate in the context, also means any person who would have been the record owner of the shares that the prohibited owner would have so owned. If the transfer to the charitable trust as described above would not be effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the applicable restriction on ownership and transfer contained in our charter, then our charter provides that the transfer of the shares will be void from the time of such purported transfer.
Shares of stock transferred to a charitable trust are deemed offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the charitable trust (or, if the event that resulted in the transfer to the charitable trust did not involve a purchase of such shares of stock at market price, defined generally as the last reported sales price reported on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares are listed and admitted to trading, the market price per share of such stock on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of stock to the charitable trust) and (2) the market price on the date we, or our designee, accept such offer. We may reduce the amount payable to the charitable trust by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the prohibited owner and are owed by the prohibited owner to the charitable trust as described below. We may pay the amount of such reduction to the charitable trust for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. We have the right to accept such offer until the trustee of the charitable trust has sold the shares held in the charitable trust as discussed below. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates, and the charitable trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited owner.
 Within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of the shares to the charitable trust, the charitable trustee will sell the shares to a person or entity designated by the charitable trustee who could own the shares without violating the ownership limits or the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock described above. After that, the charitable trustee must distribute to the prohibited owner an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid by the prohibited owner for the shares in the transaction that resulted in the transfer to the charitable trust (or, if the event that resulted in the transfer to the charitable trust did not involve a purchase of such shares at market price, the market price per share of such stock on the day of the event that resulted in the transfer to the charitable trust) and (2) the sales proceeds (net of commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the charitable trust for the shares. The charitable trustee may reduce the amount payable to the prohibited owner by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the prohibited owner and are owed by the prohibited owner to the charitable trust. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the prohibited owner will be immediately paid to the charitable beneficiary, together with any dividends and other distributions thereon. In addition, if, prior to discovery by us that shares of stock have been transferred to a charitable trust, such shares of stock are sold by a prohibited owner, then such shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the





charitable trust and to the extent that the prohibited owner received an amount for or in respect of such shares that exceeds the amount that such prohibited owner was entitled to receive, such excess amount will be paid to the charitable trust upon demand by the charitable trustee. The prohibited owner will have no rights in the shares held by the charitable trust.
The charitable trustee will be designated by us and will be unaffiliated with us and with any prohibited owner. Prior to the sale of any shares by the charitable trust, the charitable trustee will receive, in trust for the charitable beneficiary, all distributions made by us with respect to such shares and may also exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares. Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to our discovery that shares of stock have been transferred to the charitable trust will be paid by the recipient to the charitable trust upon demand by the charitable trustee. These rights will be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the charitable beneficiary.
Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the shares have been transferred to the charitable trust, the charitable trustee will have the authority, at the charitable trustee’s sole discretion:
to rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited owner prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the charitable trustee; and
to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the charitable trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary.
However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the charitable trustee may not rescind and recast the vote.
If our board of directors determines that a proposed transfer would violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock set forth in our charter, our board of directors may take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including, but not limited to, causing us to redeem shares of stock, refusing to give effect to the transfer on our books or instituting proceedings to enjoin the transfer.
Every owner of more than 5% (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of our stock, including common stock, will be required to give written notice to us within 30 days after the end of each taxable year stating the name and address of such owner, the number of shares of each class and series of our stock that the person beneficially owns and a description of the manner in which such shares are held. Each such owner will be required to provide to us such additional information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such beneficial ownership on our qualification as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limits. In addition, each stockholder will, upon demand, be required to provide to us such information as we may request in order to determine our qualification as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.
Any certificates representing shares of our stock, or any written statements of information delivered in lieu of certificates, will bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above.
These restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
Our business and affairs shall be managed by the direction of the board of directors. The number of our directors shall be six, which number may be increased or decreased from time to time pursuant to the bylaws, but shall never be less than one nor more than fifteen. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting, directors of one class are elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.
We have elected by a provision of our charter to be subject to a provision of Maryland law requiring that, except as otherwise provided in the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and that any individual elected to fill a vacancy will serve for





the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his or her notice to the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the Company’s secretary.
Our charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock, any or all directors may be removed from office only for “cause” by the affirmative vote of the stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. For the purpose of this provision of our charter, “cause” means, with respect to any particular director, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such director caused demonstrable, material harm to us through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty.
Action by Stockholders
Under the MGCL, common stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting (unless the charter provides for a lesser percentage, which our charter does not). These provisions, combined with the requirements of our charter and bylaws regarding the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders discussed below, may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting.
Meetings and Special Voting Requirements
Subject to our charter restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock and the terms of each class or series of stock, including with respect to the vote by the stockholders for the election of the directors, each holder of common stock is entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote per share owned by such stockholder on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our board of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of shares of our outstanding common stock can elect all the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares of common stock will not be able to elect any directors.
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, convert, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters (except for certain charter amendments relating to director resignation and removal and the vote required for certain amendments) by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for approval of these matters (except for certain charter amendments relating to director resignation and removal and the vote required for certain amendments) by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
Also, our operating assets are held by our subsidiaries and these subsidiaries may be able to merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets without the approval of our stockholders.
Pursuant to our charter and bylaws, an annual meeting of our stockholders for the purpose of the election of directors and the transaction of any business will be held annually on a date and at the time and place set by our board of directors. Special meetings of stockholders to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders may be called upon the request of the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors, the president or the chief executive officer and, subject to the satisfaction of certain procedural requirements, must be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter at the meeting. The presence of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter, either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum.
Our board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws.
No Appraisal Rights





As permitted by the MGCL, our charter provides that stockholders will not be entitled to exercise appraisal rights unless a majority of our board of directors determines that appraisal rights apply, with respect to all or any classes or series of stock, to one or more transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise appraisal rights.
Dissolution
Our dissolution must be declared advisable by a majority of our entire board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter.
Business Combinations
Under the MGCL, certain “business combinations,” including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities, between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder” or, generally, any person who beneficially owns directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation, or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder, are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting stock of the corporation and (2) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. The super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. Under the MGCL, a person is not an “interested stockholder” if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. A corporation’s board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance with any terms and conditions determined by it.
These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by a board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. As permitted by the MGCL, our board of directors has by resolution exempted business combinations between us and any person, provided that such business combination is first approved by our board of directors (including a majority of directors who are not affiliates or associates of such person). Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to such business combinations. As a result, any person described above may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders without compliance by us with the supermajority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute. This resolution, however, may be altered or repealed in whole or in part at any time by our board of directors. If this resolution is repealed, or our board of directors does not otherwise approve a business combination with a person, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Control Share Acquisitions
The MGCL provides that “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of stock in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of such shares in the election of directors: (1) the person that has made or proposed to make the control share acquisition, (2) an officer of the corporation or (3) an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation. “Control shares” are shares of voting stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares owned by the acquirer, or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting





power: (A) one-tenth or more but less than one-third, (B) one-third or more but less than a majority or (C) a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares that the acquirer is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses and making an “acquiring person statement” as described in MGCL), may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders’ meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquirer does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved, or, if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders’ meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights, unless the corporation’s charter provides otherwise. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply to (1) shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (2) acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.
Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our stock. There is no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
Subtitle 8
Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits the board of directors of a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:
a classified board of directors;
​a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;
​a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;
​a requirement that a vacancy on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and, if the board of directors is classified, for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and
​a majority requirement for the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders.
We have elected to be subject to the provisions of Subtitle 8 relating to a classified board of directors and the filling of vacancies on our board of directors. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already (1) require a two-thirds vote for the removal of any director from the board of directors, which removal will be allowed only for cause, (2) vest in the board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships, and (3) require, unless called by the chairman of our board of directors, our president, our chief executive officer or our board of directors, the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders in order to call a special meeting to act on such matter.





Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide that nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors or proposals of other business may be made at an annual meeting (1) pursuant to our notice of meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors, or (3) by any stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice pursuant to the bylaws and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. Our bylaws currently require the stockholder to provide notice to the secretary containing the information required by our bylaws not earlier than the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of our proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting.
With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors may be made at a special meeting, (1) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (2) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder who is a holder of record both at the time of giving of notice and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in our bylaws. Such stockholder may nominate one or more individuals, as the case may be, for election as a director if the stockholder’s notice containing the information required by our bylaws is delivered to the secretary not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of  (1) the 90th day prior to such special meeting or (2) the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and the proposed nominees of our board of directors to be elected at the meeting.
Indemnification and Limitation of Directors’ and Officers’ Liability
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision eliminating the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. This provision does not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to liability under federal or state securities laws, nor does it limit the stockholders’ ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies for a violation of a director’s or an officer’s duties to us, although the equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in some circumstances.
The MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (1) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of  (1) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (2) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the appropriate standard of conduct was not met.





Our charter authorizes us to obligate ourselves and our bylaws obligate us, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:
any present or former director or officer who is made or threatened to be made a party to or witness in the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; or
​any individual who, while our director or officer and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, member, manager, partner or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment trust, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to or witness in the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.
Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of ours in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of us or a predecessor of us.
We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors and officers, and certain former directors and officers, providing for indemnification of such directors and officers consistent with the provisions of our charter. The indemnification agreements provide that each indemnitee is entitled to indemnification unless it is established that (1) the act or omission of an indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) such indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, such indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements further limit each indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification in cases where (1) the proceeding was one by or in the right of us and such indemnitee was adjudged, in a final adjudication, to be liable to us, (2) such indemnitee was adjudged, in a final adjudication, to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such indemnitee or (3) the proceeding was brought by such indemnitee, except in certain circumstances.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Exclusive Forum
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty owed by an director, officer or other employee of our company to our company or to our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

(a)
Lease Obligations. The Manager shall perform all duties of the landlord under all leases insofar as such duties relate to the operation, maintenance, and day-to-day management of the Property. The Manager shall also provide or cause to be provided, at the Owner’s expense, all services normally provided to tenants of like premises, including, where applicable and without limitation, gas, electricity or other utilities required to be furnished to tenants under leases, normal repairs and maintenance, and cleaning and janitorial service. The Manager shall arrange for and supervise the performance of all installations and improvements in space leased to any tenant which are either expressly required under the terms of the lease of such space or which are customarily provided to tenants.
 
 
(b)
Maintenance. The Manager shall cause the Property to be maintained in the same manner as similar properties in the area. The Manager’s duties and supervision in this respect shall include, without limitation, cleaning of the interior and the exterior of the Improvements and the public common areas on the Property and the making and supervision of repair, alterations, and decoration of the Improvements, subject to and in strict compliance with this Management Agreement and any applicable leases. Construction and rehabilitation activities undertaken by the Manager, if any, will be limited to activities related to the management, operation, maintenance, and leasing of the Property (e.g., repairs, renovations, and leasehold improvements).
 
 
(c)
Leasing Functions. The Manager shall coordinate the leasing of the Property and shall negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed leases from qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of the Owner, if requested, for available space in the Property, such leases to be in form and on terms approved by the Owner and the Manager, and to bring about complete leasing of the Property. The Manager shall be responsible for the hiring of all leasing agents, as necessary for the leasing of the Property, and to otherwise oversee and manage the leasing process on behalf of the Owner.
 
 
(d)
Notice of Violations.
