As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio generated annualized base rent (“ABR”) of $41.8 million and was 100% occupied, with a weighted average remaining lease term (“WALT”) of 10.5 years and consisted of approximately 70.0% investment grade tenants and 8.0% investment grade profile tenants by ABR, which we believe provides us with a strong, stable source of recurring cash flow from which to grow our portfolio. ABR is calculated by multiplying (i) cash rental payments (a) for the month ended December 31, 2020 (or, if applicable, the next full month's cash rent contractually due in the case of rent abatements, rent deferrals, recently acquired properties and properties with contractual rent increases, other than properties under development) for leases in place as of December 31, 2020, plus (b) for properties under development, the first full month's permanent cash rent contractually due after the development period by (ii) 12.

Our History

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on October 11, 2019. On December 23, 2019, we issued and sold 8,860,760 shares of our common stock in a private offering at a price of $19.75 per share, to various institutional investors, accredited investors and offshore investors, in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act and pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. On February 6, 2020, we issued and sold an additional 2,936,885 shares of our common stock in the private offering pursuant to the initial purchaser's over-allotment option. We received approximately $219.0 million of net proceeds (after deducting the initial purchaser's discount and placement fees) from the private offering and over-allotment option exercise. In connection with the private offering, we consummated a series of formation transactions that were designed, among other things, to enable us to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and we qualified to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019.

Our predecessor, EverSTAR Income & Value Fund V, LP, merged with our Operating Partnership as part of the formation transactions. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, meaning that we own our properties and conduct our business through our Operating Partnership, directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries. NETSTREIT GP, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, we owned approximately 94.2% of the limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership.

To assist us in maintaining our status as a REIT, on January 27, 2020, we issued and sold 125 shares of our 12.0% Series A Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for $1,000 per share to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. We redeemed all 125 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the completion of our initial public offering.

On August 17, 2020, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock. We sold 12,244,732 shares of common stock and selling stockholders sold 255,268 shares of common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. Our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NTST” on August 13, 2020. On September 16, 2020,
4

we sold an additional 1,436,829 shares of our common stock pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option in connection with the initial public offering. We received net proceeds from the initial public offering and over-allotment option exercise of $227.3 million, net of transaction costs and underwriting discounts of $18.9 million. We contributed the total net proceeds from the initial public offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 13,681,561 Class A units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class A OP Units”). In addition, an equivalent number of Class A OP Units were issued for the 255,268 shares sold by the selling stockholders.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strengths distinguish us from our competitors and allow us to compete effectively in the single-tenant retail net leased property market.

Favorable Exposure to Investment Grade Credit Rated and Other High-Quality Tenants. Our portfolio provides high-quality leases and ABR. Approximately 70.0% of our ABR is from investment grade credit rated tenants, which historically have exhibited a strong track record of making scheduled rental payments, showing resilience during times of economic downturn. An additional 8.0% of our ABR is derived from tenants that have conservative high-quality balance sheets with investment grade credit metrics (e.g., more than $1.0 billion in annual sales and a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0x) but have not pursued or received a rating (i.e., investment grade profile tenants).

Investment Strategy that Benefits From a Fragmented, Underserved Market Segment. The current market for retail net leased properties is fragmented and decentralized. Between 2017 and 2020, private, non-institutional buyers accounted for 60.3% of this market by volume and, from 2019 to 2020, 53.7% of retail net lease transactions had a purchase price between $2.5 million and $5 million. The relatively small transaction size of retail net lease properties, combined with the locations of many of these properties outside of primary markets, can be a deterrent for larger, institutional buyers that seek to deploy greater amounts of capital in larger markets and in assets that generate greater ABR per property. We generally focus on properties with a purchase price between $1 million and $10 million and our ABR per property is approximately $205,931. We believe this low per property ABR concentration increases our revenue diversification. We also believe our focus on smaller properties, a segment of the market that we believe is undercapitalized, will allow us to maintain a consistent pipeline of relatively small assets to acquire on attractive terms without the threat of broad competition.

Seasoned Leadership with a Proven Track Record of Cultivating and Expanding Publicly Traded REIT Businesses. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mark Manheimer, has over 15 years of experience underwriting, acquiring, leasing, financing, managing and disposing of net leased properties, with a track record of growing net lease businesses to significant scale. Prior to joining EB Arrow Holdings, LLC (“EB Arrow”) as the Chief Investment Officer of its net lease portfolio, Mr. Manheimer served on the investment committee of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (NYSE: SRC) (“Spirit”), overseeing the acquisition of more than 1,500 properties and leading the effort to restructure the master lease of Spirit's largest tenant. Mr. Manheimer played a critical role in Spirit's September 2012 initial public offering and shortly thereafter led Spirit's due diligence and reverse due diligence efforts as part of a merger with Cole Credit Property Trust II (“Cole”), doubling the size of the company. We believe Mr. Manheimer's reputation, in-depth market knowledge and extensive network of long-standing relationships with retailers, brokers, intermediaries, private equity firms and others in the net lease industry will provide us with an ongoing pipeline of both marketed and off-market investment opportunities. In addition, our Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Blocher, leads our conservative balance sheet and capitalization strategy and manages our liabilities, capital raising, financial reporting and investor relations activities. Mr. Blocher has over 20 years of experience in financial reporting, debt and equity financing, investor relations, capital allocation, corporate governance and strategy for publicly traded REITs, including five years serving as the Chief Financial Officer of First Potomac Realty Trust (NYSE: FPO) and four years serving as Chief Financial Officer and an additional seven years serving in a capital markets and investor relations role at Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE: FRT). We believe Mr. Blocher's deep relationships with the investment banking and institutional investor communities will assist us in future capital raising activities as we grow our portfolio.

Disciplined Underwriting and Active Portfolio Management Strategy. We believe our conservative underwriting criteria will allow us to purchase properties below replacement cost and with below market rents, providing significant long-term opportunities for growth at an attractive basis. Our management team focuses primarily on securing long-term leases with investment grade credit rated tenants and creditworthy tenants without an investment grade rating. We focus on tenants in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants. We believe these characteristics make our tenants' businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. In
5

evaluating a property for acquisition, we utilize our three-part underwriting and risk management strategy with an emphasis on credit and real estate that includes:

Tenant Credit Underwriting: review corporate level financial information, assess business risks and review investment rating or establish a “shadow rating” using our proprietary credit modeling process for unrated tenants;

Real Estate Valuation: review the underlying key real estate metrics of each property, including location and demographics that will support both tenant financial health, including market rents, and a market for alternative use, re-leasing or redevelopment, when necessary; and

Unit-Level Profitability: analyze and/or estimate unit-level profitability and cost variability to determine the likelihood of each location sustainably operating as a profit center.

High Quality, Defensive and Diversified Portfolio. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio consisted of 203 single-tenant net leased properties that were diversified by tenant, industry and geography, including 56 different brands or concepts, across 23 retail sectors in 38 states. The majority of our portfolio was comprised of properties leased to tenants operating in defensive retail industries, with 90.5% of our ABR stemming from necessity, discount and/or service-oriented industries. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio was 100% occupied and generated ABR of $41.8 million, with a WALT of 10.5 years, which we believe provides us with a strong, stable source of recurring cash flows from which to grow our portfolio. Further, as of December 31, 2020, approximately 70.0% and 8.0% of the tenants in our portfolio were corporations with investment grade credit ratings or tenants with an investment grade profile, respectively, which historically have exhibited a strong track record of making scheduled rental payments and demonstrating defensive, consistent performance through multiple cycles. Our current strategy targets a scaled portfolio that, over time, will:

derive no more than (i) 5% of its ABR from any single tenant or property, (ii) 15% of its ABR from any single retail sector, (iii) 15% of its ABR from any single state and (iv) 50% of its ABR from its top 10 tenants;

be primarily leased to tenants operating in businesses we believe to be e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles;

have more than 60% of its tenants with an investment grade credit rating; and

have a WALT of greater than 10 years.

Proven Ability to Efficiently Deploy Capital Utilizing Proprietary Sourcing Channels to Achieve Scale. Our ability to efficiently deploy capital is a direct result of our management team's extensive network of industry relationships, which we utilized to source a robust pipeline of attractive marketed and off-market investment opportunities through which we have deployed capital, acquiring 125 single-tenant retail net leased properties with an aggregate purchase price of $409.7 million since December 2019. We believe our relationship-based sourcing strategy will continue to generate a sustainable pipeline of opportunities to drive growth and achieve scale through the efficient deployment of capital raised in our capital markets offerings. While our general and administrative expenses will continue to rise in some measure as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our portfolio will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale. With our smaller asset base relative to other public REITs that focus on acquiring net leased real estate, we believe that superior growth can be achieved through manageable acquisition volume.

Our Business and Growth Strategies

Our objective is to maximize stockholder value by generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, managing and growing a diversified portfolio of commercially desirable properties. We intend to pursue our objective through the following business and growth strategies.

Differentiated, Multi-faceted Investment Strategy to Drive Growth. We intend to continue to grow our portfolio by acquiring properties occupied by high-credit quality tenants operating in defensive industries focused on necessity retail goods and essential services. In addition to acquiring single-tenant net leased retail properties subject to an existing stabilized long term lease, we intend to grow our portfolio through a multi-faceted investment strategy, which includes “blend and extend” acquisitions, build-to-suit transactions, reverse build-to-suit transactions and sale-leaseback transactions. Each of these types of transactions or acquisitions offers unique benefits to our business:
6


Existing stabilized leases: In existing stabilized lease transactions, we acquire single-tenant net leased operating assets subject to an existing long-term lease through our relationships with current owners, our extensive brokerage network or our developer relationships.

Blend-and-extend: In blend-and-extend acquisitions, we acquire a single-tenant commercial property with an existing short-term lease, then extend the lease term to at least ten years. Blend-and-extend acquisitions allow us to acquire properties at a lower basis and get long-term site commitments from tenants.

Build-to-suit: In build-to-suit transactions, we secure development financing for a single-tenant commercial property pursuant to executing a long-term lease. Build-to-suit transactions allow us to leverage our extensive developer relationships to partner on opportunities.

Reverse build-to-suit: In reverse build-to-suit transactions, the tenant acts as the developer and constructs the property with the project financed by the landlord. Both build-to-suit and reverse build-to-suit transactions allow us to acquire the property at lower cost in exchange for long lease terms and higher entry capitalization rates.

Sale-leaseback: Sale-leaseback transactions allow us to acquire a single-tenant commercial property used by the seller with a simultaneous long-term lease of the property back to the seller. In sale-leaseback transactions, we strive to set rents at sustainable levels and get long-term site commitments from tenants.

We believe this multi-faceted investment strategy will provide us with greater flexibility to opportunistically build our portfolio and differentiate us from other public REITs pursuing a more limited investment strategy.

Relationship-Based Investment Sourcing. Mr. Manheimer has been active in the single-tenant net lease industry for more than 15 years, serving as Head of Sale-Leaseback Acquisitions for Cole and Executive Vice President — Head of Asset Management for Spirit. Mr. Manheimer's extensive experience has allowed him to develop a broad network of long-standing relationships with retailers, brokers, intermediaries, private equity firms and others in the net lease industry, which we believe will provide us with an ongoing pipeline of both marketed and off-market investment opportunities. We also anticipate leveraging our extensive developer relationships to partner on build-to-suit and reverse build-to-suit transactions.

Structure and Manage Portfolio with Disciplined Underwriting and Risk Management Processes. We seek to build a scaled portfolio with stable rental revenue and maximize the long-term return on our investments by implementing our disciplined underwriting and risk management processes. Our portfolio is focused on tenants operating in industries that are e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles and with attractive credit characteristics and stable operating cash flows. We seek to enter into leases with terms of at least ten years and, when acquiring properties, look for opportunities to acquire short-term leases with a long-term extension in place at the time of closing. In addition, we seek acquisition opportunities that enhance the tenant, industry and geographic diversification of our portfolio and actively monitor and manage our existing investments to reduce the risks associated with adverse developments affecting particular tenants, industries or regions. Finally, we use our active portfolio management strategy to (i) regularly review each of our properties for changes in unit performance, tenant credit and local real estate conditions, (ii) identify properties that do not meet our disciplined underwriting strategy, diversification objectives or risk management criteria, including rent coverage ratios below 2.0x or likelihood of non-renewal upon lease expiration, and (iii) opportunistically dispose of those properties and reinvest the proceeds in tax-deferred exchanges under Section 1031 (“1031 Exchange”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), that will generate higher returns, enhance the credit quality of our real estate portfolio or extend our average remaining lease term. Since June 2018, we have disposed of 47 properties totaling $136.3 million in aggregate sales price and improved portfolio performance by diversifying tenant concentration and improving key metrics such as tenant credit quality, WALT and geographic diversity.

Maintain a Conservatively Leveraged Capital Structure. We seek to maintain a capital structure that provides us with flexibility to manage our business and scale our platform through targeted acquisitions, while allowing us to service our debt requirements and generate appropriate risk-adjusted returns. As of December 31, 2020, we had no borrowings under our $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). We intend to target a conservative net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio of 4.5x to 5.5x at scale to best position the Company for growth, and we intend to capitalize on our leading origination, underwriting, financing, documentation and property processes to improve our efficiency. As we scale, we anticipate having access to the investment grade debt and equity capital markets to maintain a prudent balance between debt and equity financing.
7


Achieve Sustainable Dividend Growth Well-Covered by Cash Flow. We seek to make investments that generate strong current income as a result of the difference, or spread, between the rate we earn on our assets and the rate we pay on our liabilities (primarily our long-term debt). We intend to augment that income with internal growth (i) from cash generated from the current 0.79% weighted average annual escalation of base rent, based on contractual rent escalation provisions in our leases specifying a fixed rate of rent increase and (ii) through a target dividend payout ratio that will permit some free cash flow reinvestment. We believe this will enable strong dividend growth without relying exclusively on future common stock issuances to fund new portfolio investments. Additionally, our WALT of 10.5 years as of December 31, 2020 and superior underwriting and portfolio monitoring capabilities, which reduce default losses, are intended to make our cash flows highly stable.

Smaller Net Lease Acquisitions Allow for Superior Portfolio Growth. We generally focus on properties with a purchase price between $1 million and $10 million and our ABR per property is approximately $205,931. We believe this is a segment of the market that is undercapitalized and in which we can achieve superior growth through consistent acquisition volume. Moreover, our platform is scalable, and we expect to leverage our capabilities to improve our efficiency and processes to achieve attractive risk-based growth.

General Investment Criteria

We will conduct all of our investment activities through our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Our objective is to maximize stockholder value by generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, managing and growing a diversified portfolio of commercially desirable properties. We expect to pursue our objective primarily through the ownership by our Operating Partnership of our existing properties and other acquired properties and assets. We seek to acquire single-tenant, retail commercial real estate net leased on a long-term basis (at least ten years) to high credit quality tenants in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants. We believe these characteristics make our tenants' businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. Our current strategy targets a scaled portfolio that, over time, will (i) derive no more than (a) 5% of its ABR from any single tenant or property, (b) 15% of its ABR from any single retail sector, (c) 15% of its ABR from any single state and (d) 50% of its ABR from its top 10 tenants, (ii) be primarily leased to tenants operating in businesses we believe to be e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles, (iii) have a more than 60% of its tenants with an investment grade rating and (iv) have a WALT of greater than 10 years. While we consider the foregoing when making investments, we may be opportunistic in managing our business and make investments that do not meet one or more of these criteria if we believe the opportunity presents an attractive risk-adjusted return. We intend to engage in future investment activities in a manner that is consistent with the maintenance of our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, we may purchase assets for long-term investment, expand and improve the properties we presently own or other acquired properties, or sell such properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances warrant.

Our Target Properties

We seek to acquire, own and manage a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate subject to long-term net leases with high credit quality tenants across the United States. Our growth and diversification strategy focuses on tenants in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants. We believe these characteristics make our tenants' businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. Our management team focuses primarily on securing long-term leases with investment grade credit rated tenants and creditworthy tenants without an investment grade rating. We generally target properties with a purchase price between $1 million and $10 million, a segment of the market that we believe is undercapitalized and where we can maintain a consistent pipeline of relatively small assets to acquire on attractive terms without the threat of broad competition. We also selectively review larger properties with a purchase price in excess of $10 million, which we typically lease to investment grade tenants like Walmart and Home Depot, when we believe the acquisition will be accretive to the quality of our portfolio. The average purchase price of a property in our portfolio as of December 31, 2020 was $3.2 million, and our leases typically have initial lease terms of at least 10 years and contain two or more options for the tenant to extend the lease term, most often for additional five-year periods. As of December 31, 2020, more than 83% of the leases in our portfolio were triple-net, with the remaining leases double-net.

We seek to invest in properties that have strong unit-level economics to reduce the risk of default on a particular property. We also seek to acquire commercially desirable properties by reviewing the underlying key real estate metrics of each property, including location and demographics that will support both tenant financial health, including market rents, and a market for
8

alternative use, re-leasing or redevelopment, when necessary, which we believe maximizes both investment residual value and recovery default value.

Investment Origination Process

Our current investment pipeline has been, and our investments going forward will be, identified by our senior management team, led by Mr. Manheimer. Mr. Manheimer has been active in the single-tenant net lease industry for more than 15 years. Mr. Manheimer's extensive experience has allowed him to develop a broad network of long-standing relationships with retailers, brokers, intermediaries, private equity firms and others in the net lease industry, which we believe will provide us with an ongoing pipeline of both marketed and off-market investment opportunities. In addition, we plan to leverage our developer relationships to partner on build-to-suit opportunities with triple-net leases and desirable tenants. We believe our developer partnerships on build-to-suit projects, which provide higher yields than acquisitions, will differentiate us from our competitors without development expertise.

Underwriting

The Company assesses its investments and actively manages its existing portfolio using a three-part underwriting and risk management strategy that includes assessing (i) tenant and guarantor credit, (ii) real estate valuation and (iii) unit-level profitability. As it relates to tenant and guarantor credit, we review corporate level financial information and assess business risks, including barriers to entry and technology risks. As part of this analysis, we look for tenants that operate in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants. We believe these characteristics make our tenants' businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. We then review the tenant's investment rating or establish a “shadow rating” using our proprietary credit modeling process for unrated tenants. We assess the underlying real estate metrics of each property, including location and demographics that will support both tenant financial health, including market rents, and a market for alternative use, re-leasing or redevelopment, when necessary. We believe implementation of this underwriting and risk management criteria will continue to build a portfolio that provides a strong, stable source of recurring cash flows. Finally, we analyze and/or estimate unit-level profitability and cost variability to determine the likelihood of each location sustainably operating as a profit center.

Tax Status

We have elected to be treated and to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019. We believe that we are organized and have operated in a manner that has enabled us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and we intend to continue to operate so as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our stockholders, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding our net capital gain, plus 90% of our net income after tax from foreclosure property (if any), minus the sum of various items of excess non-cash income.

Regulation

General

Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including those relating to fire and safety requirements, and affirmative and negative covenants and, in some instances, common area obligations. Our tenants have primary responsibility for compliance with these requirements pursuant to our leases. We believe that each of our properties has the necessary permits and approvals.

Environmental and Related Matters

Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations regulate, and impose liability for, releases of hazardous or toxic substances into the environment. Under various of these laws and regulations, a current or previous owner, operator or tenant of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous wastes or petroleum product releases or threats of releases at the property, and may be held liable to a government entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred by those parties in connection with the actual or threatened contamination. These laws may impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to fault, or whether or not the owner,
9

operator or tenant knew of or caused the presence of the contamination. The liability under these laws may be joint and several for the full amount of the investigation, clean-up and monitoring costs incurred or to be incurred or actions to be undertaken, although a party held jointly and severally liable may seek to obtain contributions from other identified, solvent, responsible parties of their fair share toward these costs. These costs may be substantial, and can exceed the value of the property. In addition, some environmental laws may create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. As the owner or operator of real estate, we also may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate. The presence of contamination, or the failure to properly remediate contamination, on a property may adversely affect the ability of the owner, operator or tenant to sell or rent that property or to borrow using the property as collateral, and may adversely impact our investment in that property.

Environmental laws regulate a variety of activities that can occur on a property, including the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, air emissions, water discharges and exposure to lead-based paint. Such laws may impose fines or penalties for violations, and may require permits or other governmental approvals to be obtained for the operation of a business involving such activities. As a result of the foregoing, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and impose various requirements, including operation and maintenance plans for the presence of any suspect ACM. Significant fines can be assessed for violation of these regulations. As a result of these regulations, building owners and those exercising control over a building's management may be subject to an increased risk of personal injury lawsuits by workers and others exposed to ACM. The regulations may affect the value of a building containing ACM in which we have invested. Federal, state and local laws and regulations also govern the removal, encapsulation, disturbance, handling and/or disposal of ACM when those materials are in poor condition or in the event of construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. These laws may impose liability for improper handling or a release into the environment of ACM and may provide for fines to, and for third parties to seek recovery from, owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or improper work exposure associated with ACM.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials or moisture is otherwise present, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may be toxic and produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury occurs.

Generally, our leases require the lessee to comply with environmental law and provide that the lessee will indemnify us for any loss or expense we incur as a result of lessee's violation of environmental law or the presence, use or release of hazardous materials on our property attributable to the lessee. If our lessees do not comply with environmental law, or we are unable to enforce the indemnification obligations of our lessees, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

We cannot predict what other environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist on the properties in the future. Compliance with existing and new laws and regulations may require us or our tenants to spend funds to remedy environmental noncompliance or investigate and cleanup contamination. If we or our tenants were to become subject to significant environmental liabilities, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Americans with Disabilities Act and Similar Laws

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), and rules promulgated thereunder, in order to protect individuals with disabilities, public accommodations must remove architectural and communication barriers that are structural in nature from existing places of public accommodation to the extent “readily achievable.” In addition, under the ADA, alterations to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility are to be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, such altered portions are readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. The “readily achievable” standard takes into account, among other factors, the financial resources of the affected site and the owner, lessor or other applicable person.

Compliance with the ADA, as well as other federal, state and local laws, may require modifications to properties we currently own or may purchase, or may restrict renovations of those properties. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations could
10

result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants, as well as the incurrence of the costs of making modifications to attain compliance, and future legislation could impose additional obligations or restrictions on our properties. Although our tenants are generally responsible for all maintenance and repairs of the property pursuant to our leases, including compliance with the ADA and other similar laws or regulations, we could be held liable as the owner of the property for a failure of one of our tenants to comply with these laws or regulations.

Insurance

Our tenants are generally required to maintain liability and property insurance coverage for the properties they lease from us pursuant to triple or double-net leases. These leases generally require our tenants to name us (and any of our lenders that have a mortgage on the property leased by the tenant) as additional insureds on their liability policies and additional named insured and/or loss payee (or mortgagee, in the case of our lenders) on their property policies. Depending on the location of the property, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by earthquakes and floods, may be covered by insurance policies that are held by our tenant with limitations such as large deductibles or co-payments that a tenant may not be able to meet. In addition, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by wind, hail, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. In the event there is damage to our properties that is not covered by insurance and such properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we will continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties are irreparably damaged.

In addition to being a named insured on our tenants' liability policies, we separately maintain commercial general liability coverage. We also maintain full property coverage on all untenanted properties and other property coverage as may be required by our lenders, which are not required to be carried by our tenants under our leases.

Competition

We face competition for acquisitions of real property from investors, including traded and non-traded public REITs, private equity investors and institutional investment funds, some of which have greater financial resources than we do, a greater ability to borrow funds to acquire properties and the ability to accept more risk. We also believe that competition for real estate financing comes from middle-market business owners themselves, many of whom have had a historic preference to own, rather than lease, the real estate they use in their businesses. This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. This competition will increase if investments in real estate become more attractive relative to other forms of investment.

As a landlord, we compete in the multi-billion dollar commercial real estate market with numerous developers and owners of properties, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located. Some of our competitors have greater economies of scale, lower costs of capital, access to more resources and greater name recognition than we do. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose our tenants or prospective tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates or to offer substantial rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances, early termination rights or below-market renewal options in order to retain tenants when our leases expire.

Employees

As of December 31, 2020, we have 19 full-time employees. Our staff is mostly comprised of professional employees engaged in origination, underwriting, closing, financial reporting, portfolio management and capital markets activities essential to our business. In addition, Company leadership has allowed our employees the ability to work remotely until further notice due to COVID-19 and maintains key relationships with third-party professional service firms that could assist and supplement our current workforce if the need arises.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following factors and other factors discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this report or presented elsewhere in future SEC reports. You should carefully consider each of the risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors described below and elsewhere in this report, as well as any reports, amendments or updates reflected in subsequent filings or furnishings with the SEC. We believe these risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results and could materially and adversely affect our business operations, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Risks Related to Our Business and Properties

We are subject to risks related to commercial real estate ownership that could reduce the value of our properties.

Our core business is the ownership of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate subject to long-term net leases. Accordingly, our performance is subject to risks incident to the ownership of commercial real estate, including: inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy; changes in local real estate conditions in the markets in which we operate, including the availability and demand for single-tenant, retail commercial real estate space; changes in consumer trends and preferences that affect the demand for products and services offered by our tenants; inability to lease or sell properties upon expiration or termination of existing leases; environmental risks, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances or materials on our properties; the subjectivity of real estate valuations and changes in such valuations over time; the illiquid nature of real estate compared to most other financial assets; changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing real estate usage and zoning; changes in interest rates and the availability of financing; and changes in the general economic and business climate. The occurrence of any of these may cause the value of our real estate to decline, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Global market and economic conditions may materially and adversely affect us and our tenants.

Changes in global or national economic conditions, such as a global economic and financial market downturn, including as a result of COVID-19 (as discussed below) or another pandemic in the future, may cause, among other things, a tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rate of default and bankruptcy, and lower consumer and business spending, which could materially and adversely affect us. Potential consequences of changes in economic and financial conditions include: changes in the performance of our tenants, which may result in lower rent and lower recoverable expenses than the tenant can afford to pay and tenant defaults under the lease; current or potential tenants may delay or postpone entering into long-term leases with us; the ability to borrow on terms and conditions that we find to be acceptable, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities or increase future interest expense; and the recognition of impairment charges on or reduced values of our properties, which may adversely affect our results of operations or limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices and may reduce the availability of buyer financing. We are also limited in our ability to reduce costs to offset the results of a prolonged or severe economic downturn given certain fixed costs and commitments associated with our operations. Accordingly, a decline in economic conditions could materially and adversely affect us.

The current pandemic of COVID-19 and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported worldwide, resulting in COVID-19 being declared a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease.

COVID-19 and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting the economy across many industries, including industries in which our tenants operate. The impacts may continue and/or increase in severity as the duration of the pandemic lengthens. As a result, the Company is not yet able to determine the full impact of COVID-19 on its operations and therefore whether any such impact will be material. Throughout the year, a number of our tenants across various industries announced temporary closures of their locations and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic. During 2020, we provided rent deferral and rent abatement to 12 and 15 of our properties, respectively, representing 0.5%, and 1.7% of ABR as of December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company has not provided for any abatements or deferrals after August 1, 2020. All tenants with rent relief agreements in place paid in accordance with the terms of their new lease agreements, and as of year end,
12

the Company had collected 100.0% of all 2020 contractual rent payments. Accordingly, the Company’s operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 were not materially impacted by COVID-19.

In addition, the majority of our employees based at our headquarters are currently working remotely. The effects of an extended period of remote work arrangement, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, also may exacerbate the other risks disclosed in these “Risk Factors” including, but not limited to, the ability of our tenants to pay rent, our ability to renew leases, acquire properties on attractive terms or at all, and our access to external sources of capital.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their locations and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at expected levels or at all.

The development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

Our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us.

Each of our properties is leased by a single tenant. Therefore, we believe that the success of our investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants. The success of any one of our tenants is dependent on its individual business and its industry, which could be adversely affected by poor management, global market and economic conditions in general, changes in consumer trends and preferences that decrease demand for a tenant's products or services or other factors over which neither they nor we have control. Our portfolio includes properties leased to single tenants that operate in multiple locations, which means we own numerous properties leased by the same entity (or related group of entities), including Advance Auto Parts, Dollar General, 7-Eleven, CVS, O’Reilly Auto Parts, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Dollar Tree, Walmart, Lowe’s, and Walgreens. To the extent we finance numerous properties operated by one entity (or related group of entities), the general failure of that single entity (or related group of entities) or a loss or significant decline in its business could materially and adversely affect us.

At any given time, any tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its operating results or the overall financial condition of individual properties or its business as a whole. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. We depend on our tenants to operate the properties we own in a manner that generates revenues sufficient to allow them to meet their obligations to us, including their obligations to pay rent, maintain certain insurance coverage and pay real estate taxes. The ability of our tenants to fulfill their obligations under our leases may depend, in part, upon the overall profitability of their operations. Cash flow generated by certain tenant businesses may not be sufficient for a tenant to meet its obligations to us. We could be materially and adversely affected if a number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us.

Single-tenant leases involve significant risks of tenant default.

Our strategy focuses primarily on investing in single-tenant, retail commercial real estate subject to long-term net leases across the United States. The financial failure of, or default in payment by, a single tenant under its lease is likely to cause a significant or complete reduction in our rental revenue from that property and a reduction in the value of the property. We may also experience difficulty or a significant delay in re-leasing or selling such property. This risk will be magnified if we decide to lease multiple properties to a single tenant under a master lease. A tenant failure or default under a master lease could reduce or eliminate rental revenue from multiple properties and reduce the value of such properties. In addition, we would be responsible for all of the operating costs of a property following a vacancy at a single-tenant building. Because our properties have generally been built to suit a particular tenant's specific needs, we may also incur significant costs to make the leased premises ready for another tenant.

Our assessment that certain businesses are e-commerce resistant and recession-resilient, may prove to be incorrect.

We primarily invest in properties leased to tenants in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector such as home improvement, auto parts, drug
13

stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants. We believe these characteristics make our tenants' businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. While we believe this to be the case, businesses previously thought to be internet resistant, such as the retail grocery industry, have proven to be susceptible to competition from e-commerce. Technology and business conditions, particularly in the retail industry, are rapidly changing, and our tenants may be adversely affected by technological innovation, changing consumer preferences and competition from non-traditional sources. To the extent our tenants face increased competition from non-traditional competitors, such as internet vendors, some of which may have different business models and larger profit margins, their businesses could suffer. There can be no assurance that our tenants will be successful in the face of any new competition, and a deterioration in our tenants' businesses could impair their ability to meet their lease obligations to us and materially and adversely affect us.

A substantial number of our properties are leased to unrated tenants and the tools we use to determine the creditworthiness of our tenants may not be accurate.

Approximately 30.0% of our properties are leased to unrated and sub-investment grade tenants that we determine, through our disciplined underwriting and risk management strategy, to be creditworthy. In evaluating a property for acquisition, we utilize our three-part underwriting and risk management strategy with an emphasis on credit and real estate that includes (i) reviewing corporate level financial information, assessing business risks and reviewing investment rating or establishing a “shadow rating” using our proprietary credit modeling process for unrated tenants, (ii) reviewing the underlying key real estate metrics of each property, including location and demographics that will support both tenant financial health, including market rents, and a market for alternative use, re-leasing or redevelopment, when necessary, and (iii) analyzing and/or estimating unit-level profitability and cost variability to determine the likelihood of each location sustainably operating as a profit center. A shadow rating does not constitute a published credit rating and lacks the extensive company participation that is typically involved when a rating agency publishes a rating; accordingly, a shadow rating may not be as indicative of creditworthiness as a rating published by Moody's Investor Services, S&P Global Ratings, or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Our calculations of shadow ratings and rent coverage ratios are based on financial information provided to us by our tenants and prospective tenants without independent verification on our part, and we must assume the appropriateness of estimates and judgments that were made by the party preparing the financial information. If our measurement of credit quality proves to be inaccurate, we may be subject to defaults, and investors may view our cash flows as less stable.

Our portfolio has geographic market concentrations that make us especially susceptible to adverse developments in those geographic markets.

As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio included substantial holdings in Texas (16.6%), Georgia (8.0%), Virginia (6.1%), Mississippi (5.6%) and Ohio (5.4%) based on ABR as of December 31, 2020. In addition, a significant portion of our portfolio holdings (based on ABR as of December 31, 2020) were located in the South (56.1%) and Midwest (24.5%) regions of the United States (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau). This geographic concentration could adversely affect our operating performance if conditions become less favorable in any of the regions, states or markets within such states in which we have a concentration of properties. An economic downturn or other adverse events or conditions such as natural disasters in any of these areas, or any other area where we may have significant concentration in the future, could materially and adversely affect us.

We are subject to risks related to tenant concentration, and an adverse development with respect to a large tenant could materially and adversely affect us.

The top four tenants in our portfolio — 7-Eleven, Lowe’s, Advance Auto Parts, and Walmart — contributed 8.9%, 8.6%, 7.6% and 6.5%, respectively, of our ABR as of December 31, 2020. As a result, our financial performance depends significantly on the revenues generated from these tenants and, in turn, their financial condition. Although our strategy targets a scaled portfolio that, over time, will increase tenant diversification, our portfolio has four tenants that individually contribute more than five percent of our ABR. In the future, we may experience additional tenant and industry concentrations. In the event that one of these tenants, or another tenant that occupies a significant portion of our properties or whose lease payments represent a significant portion of our rental revenue, were to experience financial weakness or file for bankruptcy, it could have a material adverse effect on us.

We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.

Our results of operations depend on our ability to continue to strategically lease our properties, including renewing expiring leases, leasing vacant space and re-leasing space in properties where leases are expiring, optimizing our tenant mix or leasing properties on more economically favorable terms. Leases representing 0.6% of the ABR of our portfolio as of December 31, 2020 were scheduled to expire during 2023 (the first year in which lease expirations will occur following the consummation of
14

our initial public offering). Current tenants may decline, or may not have the financial resources available, to renew current leases and we cannot assure you that leases that are renewed will have terms that are as economically favorable to us as the expiring lease terms. If tenants do not renew the leases as they expire, we will have to find new tenants to lease our properties and there is no guarantee that we will be able to find new tenants, that our properties will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances, early termination rights or below-market renewal options or other tenant inducements will not be offered to attract new tenants. We may experience significant costs in connection with re-leasing a significant number of our properties, which could materially and adversely affect us.

In addition, the loss of a tenant, either through lease expiration or tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, may require us to spend significant amounts of capital to renovate the property before it is suitable for a new tenant and cause us to incur significant costs. Many of the leases we enter into or acquire are for properties that are specially suited to the particular business of our tenants. Because these properties have been designed or physically modified for a particular tenant, if the current lease is terminated or not renewed, we may be subject to an uncertain period of downtime without rental income, be required to renovate the property at substantial costs, decrease the rent we charge or provide other concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. In addition, in the event we are required to sell the property, we may have difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant due to the special purpose for which the property may have been designed or modified. This potential illiquidity may limit our ability to quickly modify our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions, including tenant demand. These limitations may materially and adversely affect us.

Some of our tenants operate under franchise or license agreements, which, if terminated or not renewed prior to the expiration of their leases with us, would likely impair their ability to pay us rent.

Of the ABR of our portfolio as of December 31, 2020, 15.4% is operated by tenants under franchise or license agreements. Generally, franchise agreements have terms that end earlier than the respective expiration dates of the related leases. In addition, a tenant's rights as a franchisee or licensee typically may be terminated and the tenant may be precluded from competing with the franchiser or licensor upon termination. Usually, we have no notice or cure rights with respect to such a termination and have no rights to assignment of any such franchise agreement. This may have an adverse effect on our ability to mitigate losses arising from a default on any of our leases. A franchiser's or licensor's termination or refusal to renew a franchise or license agreement would likely have a material adverse effect on the ability of the tenant to make payments under its lease, which could materially and adversely affect us.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of any of our tenants could result in the termination of such tenant's lease and material losses to us.

The occurrence of a tenant bankruptcy or insolvency could diminish the income we receive from that tenant's lease or leases or force us to “take back” a property as a result of a default or a rejection of a lease by a tenant in bankruptcy. If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, federal law may prohibit us from evicting such tenant based solely upon such bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a bankrupt or insolvent tenant may be authorized to reject and terminate its lease or leases with us. Any claims against such bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that would likely result in our receipt of rental revenues that are substantially less than the contractually specified rent we are owed under the lease or leases. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent, if any, may not be paid in full. We may also be unable to re-lease a terminated or rejected space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms. As a result, tenant bankruptcies may materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to successfully execute our acquisition or development strategies.

Our ability to expand through acquisitions requires us to identify and complete acquisitions or investment opportunities that are compatible with our growth strategy and to successfully integrate newly acquired properties into our portfolio. We continually evaluate investment opportunities and may acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist. Our ability to acquire properties on favorable terms and successfully operate them may be constrained by risks associated with the ownership of real estate. As a result, we may not be able to implement our investment and acquisition strategies successfully. We cannot assure you that our portfolio of properties will expand at all, or if it will expand at any specified rate or to any specified size. Because we expect to invest in markets other than the ones in which our current properties are located or properties which may be leased to tenants other than those to which we have historically leased properties, we will also be subject to the risks associated with investment in new markets or with new tenants that may be relatively unfamiliar to our management team.

While we do not intend to act as a developer, we may selectively provide development financing for build to suit projects. Development is subject to, without limitation, risks relating to the availability and timely receipt of zoning and other regulatory approvals and the cost and timely completion of construction (including risks from factors beyond our control, such as weather
15

or labor conditions or material shortages). These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of development activities once undertaken or provide a tenant the opportunity to reduce rent or terminate a lease. Any of these situations may delay or eliminate proceeds or cash flows we expect from build to suit projects, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.

Our real estate investments are relatively difficult to sell quickly. As a result, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial or investment conditions is limited. We may be unable to realize our investment objective by sale, other disposition or refinancing at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of the jurisdiction in which the property is located.

In addition, the Code imposes restrictions on a REIT's ability to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. In particular, the tax laws applicable to REITs effectively require that we hold our properties for investment, rather than primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forgo or defer sales of properties that otherwise would be in our best interest. Therefore, we may not be able to alter our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which may materially and adversely affect us.

We face significant competition for tenants, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties, and competition for acquisitions may reduce the number of acquisitions we are able to complete and increase the costs of these acquisitions.

We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of properties, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located, some of which may have greater financial resources than we do. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options in order to retain tenants when our leases expire. This competition also may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. Accordingly, competition for the acquisition of real property and tenants could materially and adversely affect us.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially and adversely affect us.

We currently hedge our interest rate volatility through interest rate swaps. These arrangements involve risks and may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. In addition, the counterparties to any hedging arrangements we enter into in the future may not honor their obligations. Failure to hedge effectively against changes in interest rates relating to the interest expense of our future floating-rate borrowings may materially and adversely affect us.

A loss of key management personnel could adversely affect our performance.

As an internally managed company, we are dependent on the efforts and performance of our key management. We cannot guarantee we retain any of our senior leadership team and they could be difficult to replace. The loss of their services until suitable replacements are found could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants and industry personnel, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.

Any material failure, weakness, interruption or breach in security of our information systems could prevent us from effectively operating our business.

We rely on information systems across our operations and corporate functions, including finance and accounting, and depend on such systems to ensure payment of obligations, collection of cash, data warehousing to support analytics, and other various processes and procedures. Our ability to efficiently manage our business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, maintenance problems, upgrading or transitioning to new platforms, or a breach in security of these systems, such as in the event of cyber-attacks, could result in the theft of intellectual property, personal information or personal property, damage to our reputation and third-party claims, as well as reduced efficiency in our operations and in the accuracy of our internal and external financial reporting. A failure or weakness in our
16

information systems could materially and adversely affect us, and the remediation of any such problems could result in significant unplanned expenditures.

Failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our ability to present accurately our financial statements and could materially and adversely affect us, including our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We will rely on our internal control over financial reporting 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 (“GAAP”). More broadly, effective internal control over financial reporting is a necessary component of our program to seek to prevent, and to detect any, fraud. Furthermore, as we grow, our business will likely become more complex, and we may require significantly more resources to develop and maintain effective controls. Designing and implementing an effective system of internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires significant resources, including the expenditure of a significant amount of time by senior members of our management team.

We are not currently required to comply with the rules of the SEC implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Although we will be required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until December 31, 2021. However, as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of December 31, 2021 or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediation.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, or moisture otherwise occurs within a building or building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may be toxic and produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing, as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, should our tenants or their employees or customers be exposed to mold at any of our properties we could be required to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property. In addition, exposure to mold by our tenants or others could subject us to liability if property damage or health concerns arise. If we were to become subject to significant mold-related liabilities, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Insurance on our properties may not adequately cover all losses and uninsured losses could materially and adversely affect us.

Our tenants generally are required to maintain liability and property insurance coverage for the properties they lease from us pursuant to triple or double-net leases. These leases generally require our tenants to name us (and any of our lenders that have a mortgage on the property leased by the tenant) as additional insureds on their liability policies and additional named insured and/or loss payee (or mortgagee, in the case of our lenders) on their property policies. Depending on the location of the property, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by earthquakes and floods, may be covered by insurance policies that are held by our tenant with limitations such as large deductibles or co-payments that a tenant may not be able to meet. In addition, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by wind/hail, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. In addition, inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors, including terrorism or acts of war, may make any insurance proceeds we receive insufficient to repair or replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. In the event there is damage to our properties that is not covered by insurance, we may be materially and adversely affected.

We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions, which could result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets.

In the future we may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for OP units, which may result in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the
17

acquired properties and/or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions could limit our ability to sell an asset at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions. In addition, as part of the formation transactions, our predecessor made limited representations, warranties and covenants to us regarding the contributed assets. Because many liabilities, including tax liabilities, may not have been identified, we may have no recourse for such liabilities. Any unknown or unquantifiable liabilities to which the properties and assets previously owned by our predecessor are subject could adversely affect the value of those properties and as a result adversely affect us.

We may experience a decline in the fair value of our assets, which may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and adversely impact the market value of our common stock.

A decline in the fair market value of our assets may require us to recognize an other-than-temporary impairment against such assets under GAAP if we were to determine that we do not have the ability and intent to hold any assets in unrealized loss positions to maturity or for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery to the amortized cost of such assets. In such event, we would recognize unrealized losses through earnings and write down the amortized cost of such assets to a new cost basis, based on the fair value of such assets on the date they are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Such impairment charges reflect non-cash losses at the time of recognition; subsequent disposition or sale of such assets could further affect our future losses or gains, as they are based on the difference between the sale price received and adjusted amortized cost of such assets at the time of sale, which may adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

The form, timing and/or amount of dividend distributions in future periods may vary and be affected by economic and other considerations.

The form, timing and/or amount of dividend distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on actual cash from operations, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs under the Code and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant.

Risks Related to Financing our Business

Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required under the Code, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at the corporate rate to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including any net capital gain. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we may rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs, and we may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage and likelihood of default. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on: general market conditions; the market's perception of our growth potential; our current debt levels; our current and expected future earnings; our cash flow and cash distributions; and the price per share of our common stock. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, satisfy our debt service obligations or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to qualify as a REIT. In addition, if we are unable to obtain financing in order to make distributions required to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we may make taxable in-kind distributions of our own stock, which may cause our stockholders to be required to pay income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash they receive, or we may be required to withhold taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of any cash our stockholders receive.

Our level of indebtedness could materially and adversely affect our financial position, including reducing funds available for other business purposes and reducing our operational flexibility.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $175.0 million outstanding on our senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and no borrowings under our $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”, and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to meet our cash needs or make the distributions to our common stockholders currently contemplated or necessary to qualify as a REIT. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following: our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments; cash interest expense and financial covenants relating to our indebtedness may limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders; we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things, adversely affect our ability to capitalize upon investment opportunities or meet operational needs; we may be unable to refinance
18

our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness; counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under any hedge agreements we enter into, such agreements may not effectively hedge interest rate fluctuation risk, and, upon the expiration of any hedge agreements we enter into, we would be exposed to then-existing market rates of interest and future interest rate volatility; we may be forced to dispose of properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of certain covenants to which we may be subject; we may default on our obligations and the lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties or our interests in the entities that own the properties that secure their loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases; we may be restricted from accessing some of our excess cash flow after debt service if certain of our tenants fail to meet certain financial performance metric thresholds; we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations; and our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness. The occurrence of any of these events could materially and adversely affect us. Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or obtain additional financing for growth on acceptable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Credit markets may experience significant price volatility, displacement and liquidity disruptions, including the bankruptcy, insolvency or restructuring of certain financial institutions. Such circumstances could materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and potentially result in the unavailability of various types of debt financing. As a result, we may be unable to obtain debt financing on favorable terms or at all or fully refinance maturing indebtedness with new indebtedness. Reductions in our available borrowing capacity or inability to obtain credit, including under the Credit Facility, when required or when business conditions warrant could materially and adversely affect us.

Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could materially and adversely affect us and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Our debt financing agreements, including the Credit Facility, contain or may contain restrictions and covenants which may limit our ability to enter into or obtain funding for certain transactions, operate our business or make distributions to our common stockholders.

The Credit Facility and other debt agreements we may enter into in the future contain or may contain financial and other covenants with which we are or will be required to comply and that limit or will limit our ability to operate our business. These covenants, as well as any additional covenants to which we may be subject in the future because of additional borrowings, could cause us to have to forego investment opportunities, reduce or eliminate distributions to our common stockholders or obtain financing that is more expensive than financing we could obtain if we were not subject to the covenants. In addition, the agreements governing our borrowings may have cross default provisions, which provide that a default under one of our debt financing agreements would lead to a default on all of our debt financing agreements.

The covenants and other restrictions under our debt agreements may affect, among other things, our ability to: incur indebtedness; create liens on assets; cause our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us to fund distributions to stockholders or to otherwise use in our business; sell or substitute assets; modify certain terms of our leases; manage our cash flows; and make distributions to equity holders, including our common stockholders. Additionally, these restrictions may adversely affect our operating and financial flexibility and may limit our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive environment, all of which may materially and adversely affect us.

Risks Related to Government Regulation and Tax Matters

Our failure to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes would reduce the amount of funds we have available for distribution and limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We believe that our organization and current proposed method of operation has enabled us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. However, we cannot assure you that we will qualify and remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for distributions to our stockholders because: we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate rate; we could be subject to increased state and local taxes; and unless we are entitled to relief under certain U.S. federal income tax laws, we could not re-
19

elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and it would adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of our stock, requirements regarding the composition of our assets and a requirement that certain specified percentages of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources, such as “rents from real property.” Also, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may materially and adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to you.

Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local income, property and excise taxes on our income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax, in the event we sell property as a dealer. In addition, NETSTREIT TRS and any additional taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) we form will be subject to U.S. federal income tax and applicable state and local taxes on their net income. Any of these taxes would reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

Failure to make required distributions would subject us to U.S. federal corporate income tax.

We intend to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each year to our stockholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than the minimum amount specified under the Code.

If our operating partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.

We believe that our operating partnership will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our operating partnership generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our operating partnership's income. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of our operating partnership or any other subsidiary partnership in which we own an interest as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our operating partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership as an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our operating partnership or any subsidiary partnerships to qualify as a partnership could cause it to become subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us.

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 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for this reduced rate. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), however, U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (e.g., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026. To qualify for this deduction, the U.S. stockholder receiving such dividends must hold the dividend-paying REIT stock for at least 46 days (taking into account certain special holding period rules) of the 91-day period beginning 45 days before the stock becomes ex-dividend and cannot be under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to a position in substantially
20

similar or related property. Although this deduction reduces the effective U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to such dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6% assuming the stockholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income. Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including the per share trading price of our common stock.

The share ownership restrictions of the Code for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in shares of our 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 shares of our common stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own shares of our common 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 shares of our common stock.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve our qualification as a REIT while we so qualify. Unless exempted by our board of directors (prospectively or retroactively), 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 or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock or of any class or series of our preferred stock, or more than 9.8% of the aggregate value of all of our outstanding 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 our failing to qualify as a REIT. The board may grant waivers from the ownership limits for certain stockholders. These waivers may be subject to initial and ongoing conditions designed to protect our status 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 qualify as a REIT or that compliance with such restriction is no longer required in order for us to so 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 common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of the stockholders.

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A REIT's net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors. The 100% tax does not apply to gains from the sale of property that is held through a TRS or other taxable corporation, although such income will be subject to tax in the hands of the corporation at regular corporate rates. We intend to structure our activities to avoid the prohibited transaction tax.

If a transaction intended to qualify as a 1031 Exchange is later determined to be taxable, we may face adverse consequences, and if the laws applicable to such transactions are amended or repealed, we may not be able to dispose of properties on a tax-deferred basis.

In order to avoid potentially significant taxable gains upon the sale of properties that no longer meet our investment criteria, we intend to dispose of properties in 1031 Exchanges. It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a 1031 Exchange could be successfully challenged and determined to be currently taxable. In such case, our taxable income and earnings and profits would increase. This could increase the dividend income to our stockholders by reducing any return of capital they received. In some circumstances, we may be required to pay additional dividends or, in lieu of that, corporate income tax, possibly including interest and penalties. In addition, such recharacterization could result in such property sale, and potentially other property sales, being subject to the 100% penalty tax on net income from prohibited transactions. As a result, we may be required to borrow funds in order to pay additional dividends or taxes, and the payment of such taxes could cause us to have less cash available to distribute to our stockholders. In addition, if a 1031 Exchange were later to be determined to be taxable, we may be required to amend our tax returns for the applicable year in question, including any information reports we sent our stockholders. Moreover,
21

it is possible that legislation could be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to 1031 Exchanges, which could make it more difficult or impossible for us to dispose of properties on a tax deferred basis.

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 substantially limit our ability to hedge our assets and liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction that we enter into to manage the risk of interest rate changes with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets, or from certain terminations of such hedging positions, does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests that apply to REITs, provided that certain identification requirements are met. 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 TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs 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 any TRS in which we own an interest will generally not provide any tax benefit, except that such losses could theoretically be carried forward against future taxable income in such TRS.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments in order to satisfy the asset and income tests or to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. We also may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. As a result, having to comply with the distribution requirement could cause us to: (i) sell assets in adverse market conditions; (ii) borrow on unfavorable terms; or (iii) distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt. Accordingly, satisfying the REIT requirements could materially and adversely affect us. Moreover, if we are compelled to liquidate our investments to meet any of these asset, income or distribution tests, or to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with one or more of the requirements applicable to REITs or may be subject to a 100% tax on any resulting gain if such sales constitute prohibited transactions.

The ability of the board to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our stockholders.

Our board 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. If we cease to be a REIT, we would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rate and state and local taxes, 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.

Although our use of TRSs may partially mitigate the impact of meeting certain requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT, there are limits on our ability to own TRSs, and a failure to comply with the limits would jeopardize our REIT qualification and may result in the application of a 100% excise tax.

A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT's assets may consist of securities of one or more TRSs. In addition, the Code imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are treated as not being conducted on an arm's-length basis.

NETSTREIT TRS and any other TRSs that we form will pay U.S. federal, state and local income tax on the TRS' taxable income, and the TRSs' after-tax net income will be available for distribution to us but is not required to be distributed to us. Although we will monitor the aggregate value of the securities of such TRSs and intend to conduct our affairs so that such securities will represent less than 20% of the value of our total assets, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the TRS limitation in all market conditions.

22

Liabilities arising under environmental laws may materially and adversely affect us.

The properties we own or have owned in the past may subject us to known and unknown environmental liabilities. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be jointly, severally and strictly liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or release of hazardous substances or petroleum products at a property, including costs to investigate or clean up contamination and liability for personal injury, property damage or harm to natural resources.

We typically obtain Phase I environmental site assessments on the properties that we finance or acquire. The Phase I environmental site assessments are limited in scope and therefore there could be undiscovered environmental liabilities on the properties we own. The known or potential presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or improve the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated properties in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination.

In addition, although our leases generally require our tenants to operate in compliance with all applicable laws and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from a tenant's activities on the property, we could be subject to strict, joint and several liability by virtue of our ownership interest. Noncompliance with environmental laws or discovery of environmental liabilities could each individually or collectively affect such tenant's ability to make payments to us, including rental payments and, where applicable, indemnification payments.

Although we may obtain insurance for environmental liability for certain properties that are deemed to warrant coverage, our insurance may be insufficient to address any particular environmental situation and we may be unable to continue to obtain insurance for environmental matters, at a reasonable cost or at all, in the future.

We are subject to various environmental laws that regulate the presence of asbestos containing materials (ACM), vapor intrusion, lead based paint and other hazardous materials. Such laws may impose fines, penalties, or other obligations for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third-party liability.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that materially and adversely affect us.

Our properties are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. While our tenants are obligated by law to comply with the ADA and typically obligated under our leases to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated, or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of our tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. We could be required to expend our own funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could materially and adversely affect us.

In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and may be required to obtain approvals from various authorities with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Additionally, failure to comply with any of these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants. While we intend to only acquire properties that we believe are currently in substantial compliance with all regulatory requirements, these requirements may change and new requirements may be imposed which would require significant unanticipated expenditures by us and could materially and adversely affect us.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure and Ownership of Our Common Stock

Our charter contains certain restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction, even if such a change in control may be in your interest, and as a result may depress the market price of our common stock.

Our charter contains various provisions that are intended to assist us to qualify as a REIT, among other reasons, and, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to qualify as a REIT. For example, our charter prohibits the actual, beneficial or constructive ownership by any person of more than 9.8% in value or in
23

number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock or of any class or series of our preferred stock, or more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of our stock. Our board of directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exempt a person, prospectively or retroactively, from these ownership limits if certain conditions are satisfied. The restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock may, among other things: discourage a tender offer or other transactions or a change in management or of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests; or result in the transfer of shares acquired in excess of the restrictions to a trust for the benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries and, as a result, the forfeiture by the acquirer of the benefits of owning the additional shares.

We could increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock, classify and reclassify unissued stock and issue stock without stockholder approval.

Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the power to amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue, to authorize us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock and to set the terms of such newly classified or reclassified shares. As a result, we may issue one or more classes or series of common stock or preferred stock with preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption that are senior to, or otherwise conflict with, the rights of our common stockholders. Although our board of directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a class or series of common stock or preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such class or series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.

Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders and provide that claims relating to causes of action under the Securities Act may only be brought in federal district courts, which could limit stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees and could discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees.

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, Northern Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws or (e) any other action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. These choice of forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Furthermore, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the Securities Act.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. For example, under the Securities Act, federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the exclusive forum provisions described above do not apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act.

Our board of directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval and we may become more highly leveraged, which may increase our risk of default under our debt obligations.

Our investment and financing policies are exclusively determined by our board of directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not control these policies. Further, our organizational documents do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Although we are not required to maintain a particular leverage ratio, we generally intend to
24

target a conservative level of net debt (which includes recourse and non-recourse borrowings and any outstanding preferred stock issuance less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents). Our board of directors may alter or eliminate our current policy on borrowing at any time without stockholder approval. If this policy changes, we could become more highly leveraged, which could result in an increase in our debt service. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, real estate market fluctuations and liquidity risk. Changes to our policies with regards to the foregoing could materially and adversely affect us.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.

As permitted by Maryland law, our charter eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Therefore, our directors and officers will be subject to monetary liability resulting only from: actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that is established by a final judgment and is being material to the cause of action adjudicated.

As a result, we and our stockholders have rights against our directors and officers that are more limited than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken by any of our directors or officers impede the performance of our company, your and our ability to recover damages from such director or officer will be limited. In addition, our charter requires us to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those and certain other capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

We are a holding company with no direct operations and we rely on funds received from our operating partnership to pay liabilities.

We are a holding company and we conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership. We do not have, apart from an interest in our operating partnership, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from our operating partnership to pay any dividends and other distributions we might declare on shares of our common stock. We also rely on distributions from our operating partnership to meet any of our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from our operating partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, your claims as stockholders will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries will be able to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and our operating partnership's and its subsidiaries' liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

In connection with our future acquisition of properties or otherwise, we may issue units of our operating partnership to third parties. Such issuances would reduce our ownership in our operating partnership. Because you will not directly own units of our operating partnership, you will not have any voting rights with respect to any such issuances or other partnership level activities of our operating partnership.

Conflicts of interest could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of OP units, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.

Conflicts of interest could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our operating partnership or any future partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with the management of our company. At the same time, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, NETSTREIT GP, LLC, as the general partner of our operating partnership, has fiduciary duties and obligations to our operating partnership and its limited partners under Delaware law and the partnership agreement of our operating partnership in connection with the management of our operating partnership. The fiduciary duties and obligations of NETSTREIT GP, LLC, as the general partner of our operating partnership, and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our company.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement of our operating partnership, if there is a conflict between the interests of our stockholders on one hand and any limited partners on the other, we will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or any limited partners; provided, however, that any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or any limited partners must be resolved in favor of our stockholders.

The partnership agreement of our operating partnership requires the general partner to obtain the approval of a majority in interest of the outside limited partners in our operating partnership (which excludes us and our subsidiaries) to transfer any
25

of its or our interest in our operating partnership in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or other combinations of us, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

The partnership agreement of our operating partnership also provides that the general partner will not be liable to our operating partnership, its partners or any other person bound by the partnership agreement for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by our operating partnership or any limited partner, except for liability for the general partner's intentional harm or gross negligence. Moreover, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership provides that our operating partnership is required to indemnify the general partner and its members, managers, managing members, officers, employees, agents and designees from and against any and all claims that relate to the operations of our operating partnership, except (i) if the act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active or deliberate dishonesty, (ii) for any transaction for which the indemnified party received an improper personal benefit, in money, property or services or otherwise in violation or breach of any provision of the partnership agreement or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, if the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

The market price of shares of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock in spite of our operating performance. In addition, our results of operations could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors due to a number of potential factors, including variations in our quarterly results of operations, additions or departures of key management personnel, failure to meet analysts’ earnings estimates, publication of research reports about our industry, litigation and government investigations, changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations or enforcement thereof affecting our business, adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future, changes in market valuations of similar companies or speculation in the press or investment community, announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments and adverse publicity about our industry in or individual scandals, and in response the market price of shares of our common stock could decrease significantly.

In the past few years, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Future sales of our common stock or other securities convertible into our common stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

Our board of directors is authorized, to increase the total number of shares of stock that we are authorized to issue and without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our stock or to raise capital through the issuance of preferred stock, options, warrants and other rights on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock will dilute your ownership and could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make shares of our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenue equals or exceeds $1.07 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) December 31,
26

2025, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act.

Tenant Industry Diversification

The majority of our portfolio is comprised of properties leased to tenants operating in defensive retail industries, with 90.5% of our ABR as of December 31, 2020 coming from necessity, service-oriented, and/or discount industries. Necessity-based industries are those that are considered essential by consumers and include sectors such as home improvement, auto parts, drug stores, general retail, and grocers. Service-oriented industries consist of retailers that provide services rather than goods, including, for example, convenience stores, quick service and casual dining restaurants, and tire and auto services. Discount retailers offer a low price point and consist of off-price and dollar stores.

The following chart illustrates the percentage of our ABR attributable to defensive retail industries as of December 31, 2020:

Lease Terms and Expirations

Our leases typically have initial lease terms of at least 10 years and contain two or more options for the tenant to extend the lease term, most often for additional five-year periods. All of our tenants are subject to net lease agreements. More than 83% of the leases in our portfolio are triple-net, with the remaining leases double-net. Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is generally responsible for materially all property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, and property maintenance and repairs; however as is common for triple-net leases, the landlord may be responsible for maintenance of the roof and parking lot. Under a double-net lease, the tenant is generally responsible for materially all property expenses, including property taxes and insurance, but excluding property maintenance and repairs. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, approximately 42% of our investment grade tenants and 98% of our sub-investment grade tenants were subject to future rent increases based on fixed amounts, increases in the consumer price index or other stipulated reference rate, or provide for additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. The leases in our portfolio as of December 31, 2020 provided for an average 0.79% increase in ABR.

As of December 31, 2020, the leases in our portfolio had a WALT of 10.5 years, with no lease expiring prior to June 2023. The following table illustrates contractual lease expirations within the Company's portfolio as of December 31, 2020, assuming no exercise of contractual extension options (dollars in thousands):

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information for Common Stock, Holders of Record, and Distribution Policy

Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “NTST.” As of March 1, 2021 there were 28,388,952 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding which were held by approximately 42 stockholders of record. In addition, as of March 1, 2021 there were 902,517 and 674,186 outstanding Class A and Class B OP Units, respectively, which are convertible into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

We intend to pay regular quarterly dividends to our stockholders, although all future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of our board of directors, and their form, timing and amount, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition, our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, applicable law, including restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In connection with the private offering, we consummated a series of formation transactions whereby, among other things, holders of limited partnership interests in our predecessor (our “continuing investors”) had their limited partnership interests in our predecessor converted into common operating partnership units in our operating partnership, receiving an aggregate of 3,652,149 Class A OP Units, other than Mark Manheimer, who received 8,884 Class B units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class B OP Units”), and an affiliate of EB Arrow, which received 287,234 Class B OP Units. Additionally, EBA EverSTAR, LLC, an affiliate of EB Arrow received 500,752 Class B OP Units in exchange for its contribution of our management infrastructure in the formation transactions. The majority of the shares of our common stock issuable in exchange for Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units were registered in connection with our initial public offering or our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-248239), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 27, 2020. Holders of 167,743 Class A OP Units elected not to register the shares of our common stock issuable in exchange for their Class A OP Units.

To assist us in maintaining our status as a real estate investment trust, on January 27, 2020, we issued and sold 125 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for $1,000 per share to “accredited investors,” as defined by Rule 501 under Regulation D of the Securities Act. We redeemed all 125 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the completion of our initial public offering.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On August 17, 2020, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-239911) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective on August 12, 2020. Under the Registration Statement, we sold 13,681,561 shares of our common stock at a price of $18.00 per share, including 1,436,829 shares issued and sold by us pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, for total gross proceeds of approximately $246.3 million. The selling stockholders referenced in the Registration Statement sold 255,268 shares of our common stock for total gross proceeds of approximately $4.6 million. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Jefferies LLC acted as joint book-running managers for the offering. BMO Capital Markets Corp., BTIG, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Regions Securities LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., Comerica Securities, Inc., Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. acted as co-managers for the offering. The offering commenced on August 13, 2020 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the Registration Statement were sold.

The proceeds that we received from our initial public offering were approximately $227.3 million, net of underwriting discounts of approximately $14.8 million and other expenses related to the initial public offering of approximately $4.2 million. All of the underwriting discounts and other expenses were direct or indirect payments to persons other than: (i) our directors, officers or any of their associates; (ii) persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of our common stock; or (iii) our affiliates. The net proceeds from our initial public offering were contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for 13,681,561 Class A OP Units.

Through December 31, 2020, our operating partnership used the net proceeds as follows: (a) approximately $0.1 million to redeem the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, (b) approximately $50.0 million to repay borrowings under our Revolver that were drawn after June 30, 2020 to fund acquisitions of properties, and (c) $147.5 million to fund additional
32

acquisitions of properties. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties in our pipeline. None of the proceeds were used to make payments to: (i) our directors, officers or any of their associates; (ii) persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of our common stock; or (iii) our affiliates. There has been no material change in the use of proceeds as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on August 14, 2020.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities.

Overview

We are an internally-managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate subject to long-term net leases with high credit quality tenants across the United States. Our diversified portfolio consists of 203 single-tenant retail net leased properties spanning 38 states, with tenants representing 56 different brands or concepts across 23 retail sectors. Our portfolio generates ABR of $41.8 million and is 100% occupied, with a WALT of 10.5 years and consisting of approximately 70% and 8.0% of investment grade tenants and investment grade profile tenants, respectively by ABR, which we believe provides us with a strong, stable source of recurring cash flow. Our tenants operate in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenient stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants, which we refer to as defensive retail industries. We believe these characteristics make our tenants’ businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. We completed our initial public offering on August 17, 2020 and our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NTST.”

COVID-19

We continue to monitor the global outbreak of COVID-19 and to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to us posed by the pandemic. In addition, we continue to stay in close contact with our tenants and monitor the timeliness of rental payments and any significant changes in our tenants' businesses. During 2020, we provided rent deferral and rent abatement to 12 and 15 of our properties, respectively, representing 0.5%, and 1.7% of ABR, as of December 31, 2020, respectively. All tenants with rent relief agreements in place paid in accordance with the terms of their new lease agreements and, as of year end, the Company had collected 100.0% of all 2020 contractual rent payments. The Company has not provided for any abatements or deferrals after August 1, 2020. Accordingly, the Company’s operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 were not materially impacted by COVID-19.

Outlook

We seek to maximize long-term earnings growth and stockholder value primarily through the acquisition of strategically positioned assets throughout the U.S., specifically focusing on properties with tenants which are considered essential businesses. We have deployed $147.5 million of the $227.3 million from the Company's initial public offering to fund acquisitions through December 31, 2020. In addition, we have repaid $50 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolver as of December 31, 2020. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties in our pipeline. As of March 4, 2021, we have identified 38 properties in our pipeline of acquisition opportunities for a combined purchase price, including acquisition costs, of approximately $122 million that we expect to purchase in the next 60 days. Additionally, we have acquired eight properties, or $17.4 million of property assets, subsequent to December 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

Overall

The Company continued to grow its assets held for investment by increasing its asset base from 94 properties as of December 31, 2019 to 203 properties as of the end of December 31, 2020. This growth was facilitated by successfully raising equity capital of $219.0 million and $227.3 million as result of the private offerings and initial public offering, respectively, totaling $446.3 million of net capital raised by the Company since December 23, 2019.

Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired 124 retail net lease properties for a total purchase price, inclusive of capitalized acquisition costs, of $408.6 million. The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 30 states with a weighted average lease term of approximately 11.2 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on the Company’s year to date acquisitions was approximately 6.7%.

Dispositions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold 15 properties for a total sales price, net of disposal costs, of $48.1 million, recognizing a gain on sale of $6.2 million.

Revenue. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by $13.4 million to $33.7 million from $19.8 million for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019 and $0.5 million for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019. This is primarily due to an increase in the real estate portfolio from 122 properties as of January 1, 2019 to 203 properties as of December 31, 2020. The increase includes an increase in rental income of $8.4 million, straight-line rental revenue of $2.7 million, property expense reimbursement revenue of $1.4 million, amortization of above- and below market lease related intangible assets of $0.6 million, lower bad debt expense of $0.2 million and other net increases of $0.1 million.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $12.1 million to $35.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $22.8 million for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019 and $0.3 million for the period from
34

December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to the increase in the number of operating properties and the completion of the Company's initial public offering in August 2020. Total operating expenses include the following:
Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $1.4 million to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the real estate portfolio from 122 to 203 properties. The largest increases are from property taxes of $0.9 million and maintenance of $0.4 million.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $7.7 million to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is primarily due to payroll expense associated with the internalization of management to support the Company as a newly public company of $3.0 million, an increase of restricted-share based expense of $2.5 million, an increase of employee bonus compensation of $1.6 million, offset by the elimination of management fees of $2.8 million charged to the Company by affiliates. The increase also includes insurance related expenses of $0.6 million, general corporate office related expenses of $0.4 million and professional and administrative expenses of $2.4 million primarily comprised of audit fees of $0.9 million, board fees of $0.5 million, and consulting and other professional services of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $4.9 million to $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in depreciation and amortization is proportionate to the increase in the size of the portfolio over the comparable period primarily with associated increases in building depreciation expense of $2.5 million and in-place lease depreciation expense of $2.4 million.
Provisions for Impairment. Provisions for impairment decreased by $4.5 million to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Of the properties impaired during 2020, three were disposed of during the year and two were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020. Of the properties impaired during 2019, four were disposed of during the prior year and two were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2019. These impairments and subsequent disposals relate to strategically identifying properties that can be re-leased or disposed of in an effort to improve returns and manage risk exposure.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs increased by $2.7 million to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in transaction costs includes costs incurred by the Company to facilitate the private and public offerings of common stock of $1.8 million and costs associated with abandoned acquisitions as well fees incurred for property acquisitions throughout the period of $0.9 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $6.2 million to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in the effective interest rate and total borrowings outstanding throughout the period as compared to the prior year.

Net Gain on Sales of Real Estate. Net gain on sales of real estate increased $0.6 million to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Sales price, net of disposal cost $ 48,065  $ —  $ 77,616 
Gain on sales of real estate, net $ 6,213  $ —  $ 5,646 

Net Income (Loss). Net income increased $7.9 million to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from a net loss of $8.0 million for the prior year. Net income increased primarily due to the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, which generated additional rental revenues, and due to the decreases in impairment and interest expenses, offset by the impact of increases in depreciation and amortization expenses related to our growth, and to increases in general and administrative expenses and transaction costs, primarily the result of becoming a public company, as set forth above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital requirements are to fund property acquisitions and required interest payments, as well as working capital needs, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our capital resources primarily consist of cash from operations, sales of
35

equity securities (including the private offering and initial public offering) and borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, we had a $175.0 million Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under our $250.0 million Revolver. We believe that the net proceeds of $227.3 million from our initial public offering plus both our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next 12 months.

Credit Facility

In December 2019, we entered into a Credit Facility consisting of (i) a $175.0 million senior secured Term Loan and (ii) a $250.0 million senior secured Revolver. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is lead arranger and bookrunner and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is administrative agent under the Credit Facility (the “Administrative Agent”).
The Term Loan matures on December 23, 2024 and the Revolver matures on December 23, 2023, subject to extension of up to one year. The Administrative Agent released the collateral in connection with the Company’s satisfaction of the Collateral Release Requirements in the fourth quarter of 2020, therefore interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and are determined by (A) in the case of the Term Loan either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and (B) in the case of the Revolver either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.
Prior to the collateral release, the Credit Facility was secured by a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on all existing and future equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries of any Eligible Property (as defined in the Credit Facility) owned by the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Facility provided that the Administrative Agent has the option to release the collateral securing the Credit Facility upon delivery of satisfactory evidence from the Company that Collateral Release Requirements (as defined in the Credit Facility) have been met, which requirements include, among others, conditions related to the unencumbered asset value and asset diversification of the Company.

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Effective September 28, 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Term Loan.

Historical Cash Flow Information

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared with the Period from January 1 to December 22, 2019
To assist with the understanding of historical cash flows, we have discussed changes from our Predecessor's statement of cash flows data for the period ended December 22, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2020. We believe this provides the most meaningful information despite the 2019 period having nine fewer days of cash flow activity than the 2020 period.

Investing activities (362,133) 75,934 
Financing activities 272,708  (82,317)

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in total number of properties as well as increases of $5.1 million in depreciation and amortization expense, $2.5 million in stock based compensation, $3.1 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, offset primarily by a decrease of $4.5 million in the provision for impairments.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $438.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the period ended from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019. The Company spent $408.6
36

million on the acquisition of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.2 million for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019. Additionally, the Company sold 15 properties during the year ended December 31, 2020 for net proceeds of $48.1 million compared to 30 properties sold for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019 for net proceeds of $77.6 million.
Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $355.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019. The increase is attributed to the private offering of common stock of $54.5 million and the initial public offering of $227.3 million which occurred during 2020. Additionally, the Company had no net borrowings or payments on debt during 2020 compared to net payments of $77.0 million for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2020, we had one contractual obligation related to the maturity on our $175.0 million Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on December 23, 2024.
During 2020, the Company borrowed and repaid $50.0 million on our $250.0 million Revolver at a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of deferred financing costs, of 1.54% to fund specifically identified property acquisitions.
The following table provides information with respect to our commitments as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

1Effective September 28, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate hedge to fix the total Company interest rate on the Company's Term Loan. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate (one-month) of 0.21% compared to the variable Term Loan one-month LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2020 of 0.15%, plus a margin of 1.15% based on the $175.0 million Term Loan outstanding through the maturity date of December 23, 2024.

2We are subject to a variable unutilized borrowing fee on the unused portion of our $250.0 million Revolver. As of December 31, 2020, we have no borrowings on our $250.0 million Revolver and incurred a fee at 0.25%. This reflects our projected unutilized borrowing fee as if the Revolver has no borrowing through the maturity date of December 23, 2023 at 0.25%.

Income Taxes

We elected to be treated and to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code, commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of our U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the regular corporate tax rate. We believe that we are organized and have operated in a manner that has enabled us to qualify to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and we intend to continue to operate so as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We must declare and pay dividends to maintain our status as a REIT and we were required to declare and pay a dividend of $0.2 million relating to our 2019 fiscal period by December 31, 2020. Accordingly, we declared and paid dividends in the second half of 2020 which were inclusive of the $0.2 million obligation for 2019. See “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity, Partners’ Capital and Preferred Equity” of our consolidated financial statements.

We made a joint election with NETSTREIT TRS for it to be treated as a TRS. As a TRS, NETSTREIT TRS will be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, NETSTREIT TRS may perform services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.
Our predecessor was not a federal taxable entity and no provision for federal income taxes was recognized in its consolidated financial information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of new accounting standards and the possible effects of these standards on our consolidated financial statements is included in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. This summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate is recorded and stated at cost less any provision for impairment. Our Operating Partnership acquired our initial portfolio of 93 properties from our Predecessor and, as a result, was initially recorded at the fair value of the Operating Partnership’s ownership interest issued at the date of the Private Offering. For real property acquired from third parties, assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date. For properties that we develop, all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development and construction, including interest, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has been completed.

Purchase Price Allocation of Acquired Properties

We evaluate each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business and therefore accounted for as a business combination or if the acquisition transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), an acquisition does not qualify as a business when substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that qualify as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred.

We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases and above-market leases and intangible liabilities include below-market leases.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. We estimate the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. The fair value of above-market or below-market leases is recorded based on the net present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and our estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. We also consider information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of the real estate; e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates; tenant credit profile and the importance of the
38

location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, we consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fair value measurement of an asset occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. If indicators are present, we will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows of the property, excluding interest charges, and determine if the carrying amount of the real estate is recoverable. When a carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. We estimate fair value using data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates or multiples, leasing prospects, local market information, and with regard to assets held for sale, based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less estimated costs of disposal.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDAre”), EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, gains from forfeited earnest money deposits, non-recurring public company costs, representing consulting fees that we have incurred in preparing to become a public company and non-cash compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDAre”), NOI and Cash NOI. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related expenses including, but not limited to, gains (losses) from sales, impairment adjustments, and depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.
Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as FFO adjusted for gains from forfeited earnest money deposits and non-recurring public company costs. We believe the presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods because it removes the effect of unusual and non-recurring items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis.
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Core FFO adjusted for GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as straight-line rent, amortization of above- and below-market lease-related intangibles, non-cash compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costs.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider Core FFO and AFFO to be useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. You should not consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net income (loss) before allocation to noncontrolling interests, as computed in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

1These expenses represent a subset of transaction costs as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre
We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. In 2017, NAREIT issued a white paper recommending that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDAre. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses.
Adjusted EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, gains from forfeited earnest money deposits, non-recurring public company costs, representing consulting fees that we have incurred in preparing to become a public company and non-cash compensation expense.
We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as they are measures commonly used in our industry. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. We use EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.
EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, they do not represent cash generated from operating activities and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, our computation of EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology for calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the periods presented to net income (loss) before allocation to noncontrolling interests, as computed in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

NOI and Cash NOI

NOI and Cash NOI are non-GAAP financial measures which we use to assess our operating results. We compute NOI as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense (or income), depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property, transaction costs, gain from forfeited earnest money deposits and real estate impairment losses. We further adjust NOI for non-cash revenue components of straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles to derive Cash NOI. We believe NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis.

NOI and Cash NOI are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and our NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depends upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2020, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million, which is floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. Further, during 2020, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our Revolver of $6.6 million.
On September 28, 2020 and effective through the maturity date of December 23, 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative in order to hedge its market interest risk associated with the Term Loan. The interest rate derivative converts the variable rate debt on the Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of 0.21%, plus a margin of 1.15% as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, we occasionally fund acquisitions through the use of our Revolver which bears an interest rate determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to our interest rate risk. Based on the results of our sensitivity analysis and daily outstanding borrowings on the Revolver during 2020, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of December 31, 2020, the estimated market risk exposure for the Revolver was less than $0.1 million.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, or FCA (the authority that regulates LIBOR), announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee, or ARRC, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, as the preferred alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Term Loan and Revolver, which mature on December 23, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively, are indexed to LIBOR. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the related risks, including future negotiations with lenders and other counterparties. 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 point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the transition to an alternative reference rate could be accelerated.

42

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.

NETSTREIT Corp.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NETSTREIT Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 (successor), for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (successor), and the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019 (predecessor), and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 (successor), for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (successor), and the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019 (predecessor), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits 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. Our audits 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 audits 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NETSTREIT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

NETSTREIT Corp. (“Successor” or the “Company”) was incorporated on October 11, 2019 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 23, 2019. The Company conducts its operations through NETSTREIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). NETSTREIT GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

The Company elected to be treated and to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. Additionally, the Operating Partnership formed NETSTREIT Management TRS, LLC (“NETSTREIT TRS”), which together with the Company jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (commonly referred to as an "UPREIT") and is an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate leased on a long-term basis to high credit quality tenants across the United States. As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 203 properties, located in 38 states.

Private Offering and Formation Transactions

On December 23, 2019, the Company completed a series of transactions (collectively the “Private Offering”) pursuant to which the Company sold 8,860,760 shares of common stock at $19.75 per share in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Private Offering, the Company completed the formation transactions described below. On January 30, 2020, the initial purchaser in the Private Offering exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 2,936,885 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were delivered on February 6, 2020. The Company contributed the net proceeds of $219.0 million from the Private Offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 11,797,645 Class A units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class A OP Units”). Upon completion of the Private Offering and the over-allotment option, noncontrolling interest holders owned approximately 27.4% of the Operating Partnership (the Operating Partnership issued total Class A and Class B OP Units of 15,449,794 and 796,870, respectively).

Concurrently with the closing of the Private Offering, EverSTAR Income and Value Fund V, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Predecessor”), was merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership surviving, and the continuing investors in the Operating Partnership receiving an aggregate of 3,652,149 Class A OP Units, other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who received 8,884 Class B units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class B OP Units”, and collectively with Class A OP Units, “OP Units”), and an affiliate of the Predecessor’s general partner, which received 287,234 Class B OP Units.

The Operating Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with EBA EverSTAR LLC, a Texas limited liability company, to internalize the Company’s management infrastructure, whereby EBA EverSTAR LLC contributed 100% of the membership interests in EBA EverSTAR Management, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and the manager of the Predecessor, to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 500,752 Class B OP Units. In connection with the internalization, EBA EverSTAR Management, LLC was re-domiciled in Delaware and its name was changed to NETSTREIT Management, LLC. A 0.01% interest in NETSTREIT Management, LLC was issued to NETSTREIT TRS.

Concurrently with the consummation of the Private Offering, the Company entered into a $175.0 million term loan and $250.0 million revolving credit facility. On December 23, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor, the Company fully drew down on its term loan and used the proceeds to acquire the Predecessor, which concurrently settled its outstanding debt facilities. As part of the acquisition, the Company did not assume any obligations under the Predecessor’s then outstanding debt facilities.

Series A Preferred Stock

To maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, on January 27, 2020, the Company issued and sold 125 shares of 12.0% Series A Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), for $1,000 per share to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed
49

solely at the Company’s option for consideration equal to $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium as follows (i) until December 31, 2021, $100 and (ii) thereafter, no redemption premium. The Company redeemed all 125 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the completion of the initial public offering. See “Note 9 - Stockholders’ Equity, Partners’ Capital and Preferred Equity.”

On August 17, 2020, the Company completed the initial public offering of its common stock. The Company sold 12,244,732 shares of common stock and selling stockholders sold 255,268 shares of common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. The Company's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NTST” on August 13, 2020. On September 16, 2020, the Company issued an additional 1,436,829 shares of its common stock pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option in connection with the Company's initial public offering. The net proceeds to the Company from the initial public offering was $227.3 million, which is net of transaction costs and underwriter fees of $18.9 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the initial public offering and related over-allotment option to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 13,681,561 Class A OP Units. In addition, an equivalent number of Class A OP Units were issued for the 255,268 shares sold by selling stockholders.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and the Company’s net income (loss) is reduced by the portion of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

For the periods prior to December 23, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the historical financial information of the Predecessor.

For the periods after December 23, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the historical financial information of the Successor. As a result of the Company’s formation transactions, the consolidated financial statements after December 23, 2019 are presented on a new basis of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents noncontrolling interests, which represents OP Units, and classifies such interests as a component of permanent equity, separate from the Company's stockholders’ equity. Noncontrolling interests were created as part of an asset acquisition and recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. Effective with the Company’s initial public offering, each limited partner of the Operating Partnership has the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of its OP Units for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of the redemption, or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s common stock. The election to pay cash or issue common stock is solely within the control of the Company to satisfy a noncontrolling interest holder's redemption request.

Net income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated to its noncontrolling interests based on the noncontrolling interests' ownership percentages in the Operating Partnership. Ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units outstanding at the balance sheet date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the useful lives of real estate assets, lease accounting, real estate impairment assessments, and allocation of fair value of purchase consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related
50

disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Further, the uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy and the Company’s business makes any estimates and assumptions as of December 31, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform with current period presentation. Transactions costs within the consolidated financial statements were previously included within the caption “general and administrative” and real estate improvements within the consolidated statements of cash flows were previously included within the caption “acquisitions of real estate.”

Risk and Uncertainties

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported worldwide, resulting in COVID-19 being declared a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. COVID-19 and the measures taken to limit its spread are negatively impacting the economy across many industries, including industries in which our tenants operate. The impacts may continue and increase in severity as the duration of the pandemic lengthens. As a result, the Company is not yet able to determine the full impact of COVID-19 on its operations and therefore whether any such impact will be material. During 2020, we provided rent deferral and rent abatement to 12 and 15 of our properties, respectively, representing 0.5%, and 1.7% of annualized base rent as of December 31, 2020, respectively. All tenants with rent relief agreements in place paid in accordance with the terms of their new lease agreements, and as of year end, the Company had collected 100.0% of all 2020 contractual rent payments. The Company has not provided for any abatements or deferrals after August 1, 2020. Accordingly, the Company’s operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 were not materially impacted by COVID-19.

The Company also adopted an optional remote-work policy and other physical distancing policies for its corporate office. The Company does not anticipate these policies to have any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business. Transitioning to a remote-work environment has not had a material adverse impact on the Company's general ledger system, internal controls or controls and procedures related to its financial reporting process.

Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate is recorded and stated at cost less any provision for impairment. Assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date. For properties developed by the Company, all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development and construction, including interest, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has been completed.

The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business and therefore accounted for as a business combination or if the acquisition transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), an acquisition does not qualify as a business when substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that qualify as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases and above-market leases and intangible liabilities include below-market leases.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-
51

place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. The fair value of above-market or below-market leases is recorded based on the net present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. The Company also considers information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of the real estate; e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates; tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Based on these inputs for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions, the Company utilizes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820).

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Buildings
13 – 35 years
Building improvements 15 years
Tenant improvements Shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life
Acquired in-place leases Remaining terms of the respective leases
Assembled workforce 3 years
Computer equipment 3 years

Total depreciation and amortization expense was $15.5 million, $0.2 million and $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the periods from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019, respectively.

Depreciation expense on real estate held for investment and computer equipment was $10.7 million, $0.1 million and $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the periods from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019, respectively.

Amortization expense on acquired in-place lease and assembled workforce intangible assets, and leasing commission costs were $4.8 million, $0.1 million and $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the periods from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019, respectively.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life or improve the operating capacity of the asset are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a property, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets with the difference between the proceeds received, net of sales costs, and the carrying value of the asset group recorded as a gain or loss on sale, subject to impairment considerations.

Assets Held for Sale

Properties classified as held for sale, including the related intangibles, on the consolidated balance sheets include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition, which are actively being marketed, and for which management believes that it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. No depreciation expense or amortization expense is recognized on properties held for sale and the related intangible assets or liabilities once they have been classified as such. Only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations are presented as discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have not reclassified results of operations for properties disposed during the year or held for sale as discontinued operations, as these events are a normal part of the Company’s operations and do not represent strategic shifts in the Company’s operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , there were three and two properties, respectively, classified as held for sale.


52

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fair value measurement of an asset occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. If indicators are present, the Company will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows of the property, excluding interest charges, and determine if the carrying amount of the real estate is recoverable. When a carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. The Company estimates fair value using data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates or multiples, leasing prospects, local market information, and with regard to assets held for sale, based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less estimated costs of disposal. Based on these unobservable inputs, the Company determined that its valuations of impaired real estate and intangible assets fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820.

The following table summarizes the provision for impairment during the periods indicated below (in thousands):

Successor Predecessor
Year Ended December 31, For the Period from
December 23 to December 31,
For the Period from
January 1 to December 22,
2020 2019
Total provision for impairment $ 2,690  $ —  $ 7,186 
Number of properties: (1)
Classified as held for sale 5 — 
Disposed within the period 3 — 

1Includes the number of properties that were impaired and classified as held for sale or impaired and disposed of during the respective periods. Excludes properties that did not have impairment recorded during the year.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all cash balances, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted for property tenant improvements and cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by qualified intermediaries in anticipation of the acquisition of replacement properties in tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code. The Company had $14.8 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2020, which was included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not have restricted cash as of December 31, 2019.

The Company’s bank balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 included certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

The Company’s rental revenue is primarily related to rent received from tenants under leases accounted for as operating leases. Rent from leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable initial term of the lease and reasonably certain renewal periods, from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to the lease. The difference between rental revenue recognized and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as deferred rent receivable and included as a component of other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable lease revenues include tenant reimbursements, lease termination fees, changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease or percentage rents. Variable lease revenues are not recognized until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. The Company and its Predecessor recognized variable lease revenue related to tenant reimbursements and lease termination fees for the periods presented. 

Capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction or increase of rental revenue as appropriate over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which was added to the ASC under Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers. As the Company’s
53

revenues are primarily generated through leasing arrangements, and the Company has elected the lessor practical expedient to report income on one line within its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) from the associated lease for all existing and new leases under ASU 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842)”, the Company’s revenues fall outside the scope of this standard.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against the portion of accounts receivable, net including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible, which includes a portfolio-based reserve and reserves for specific disputed amounts. Such allowances are reviewed each period based upon recovery experience and the specific facts of each outstanding amount. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a share-based compensation award program for our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards is recognized in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We measure stock-based compensation at the estimated fair value on the grant date and recognize the amortization of stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service or performance period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs represent costs incurred by the Company to facilitate the private offering and formation transactions and the initial public offering in addition to costs associated with abandoned acquisitions and other acquisition related activity. Offering costs were $2.2 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019, respectively. There were no such costs incurred for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Acquisition related expenses were $1.0 million and less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the periods from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, and from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated and qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational, income, asset and distribution tests. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate U.S. federal or state income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions of all of its taxable income to its stockholders and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements, including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. To maintain the status of a REIT, the Company is required to declare and pay a dividend of $0.2 million relating to its 2019 fiscal period by December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the Company declared and paid dividends in the second half of 2020 which were inclusive of the $0.2 million obligation for 2019. See “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity, Partners’ Capital and Preferred Equity.”

The Company made a joint election with NETSTREIT TRS for it to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary which may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, NETSTREIT TRS may perform services for tenants of the Company, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no provision for state, local or federal income taxes in its consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders represents net income (loss) less income allocated to participating securities and noncontrolling interests. None of the Company’s equity awards are participating securities.



54

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measurements are utilized in the accounting of the Company’s assets acquired and liabilities acquired in an asset acquisition and also affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs.

The Company uses the following inputs in its fair value measurements:    

Level 2 inputs for its debt and derivative financial instrument fair value disclosures. See “Note 6 - Debt” and “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments,” respectively; and

Level 2 and Level 3 inputs when assessing the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with real estate acquisitions and impairment. See “Note 4 - Acquisition and Disposition of Real Estate.”

The fair value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (including money market accounts), other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Provisions for impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 related to assets held for sale and the impairment was determined based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less costs of disposal, compared to the carrying value of the property.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to cash held at various financial institutions, access to its Credit Facility, and amounts due or payable under derivative contracts. The credit risk exposure with regard to the Company’s cash, credit facilities, and derivative instruments is spread among a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions.

During 2020, the Company’s rental revenues were derived from 63 separate tenants leasing 219 total properties. During this period there were no tenants with rental revenue that exceeded 10% of rental revenue.

During 2019, the Company and the Predecessor’s rental revenues were derived from 48 separate tenants leasing 123 total properties. During this period, one tenant, CVS, accounted for 12.6% of rental revenue.

Segment Reporting

The Company considers each one of its properties to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. The Company allocates resources and assesses operating performance based on individual property needs. All of the Company’s operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, and thus, the Company reports one segment, rental operations. There were no intersegment sales during the periods presented. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)" ("ASU 2014-09") ("Topic 606"), that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. Topic 606 is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. As amended by ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date" ("ASU 2015-14"), Topic 606 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Predecessor adopted Topic 606 on January 1, 2019, but as the primary revenue stream stems from leasing arrangements and tenant reimbursements, these fall outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company and its Predecessor did not have non-rental related revenue that would need to be considered for ASC 606 assessment.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which replaces the existing guidance in Topic 840, "Leases" ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning
55

after December 15, 2018. The Predecessor adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The Predecessor elected to recast prior-period comparative information to aggregate prior period tenant reimbursement revenue within rental revenue to conform with the current period presentation within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Predecessor elected the package of practical expedients available under ASC 842, but did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, thereby not requiring the Predecessor to reassess the lease classification for existing contracts. Accordingly, the Predecessor's leases continue to be classified as operating leases as of January 1, 2019. The Predecessor did not make any adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption of the new standard given the nature of the impacts and other transition practical expedients elected by the Predecessor.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document, “Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. Entities can elect to not evaluate whether certain concessions provided by lessors to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on lessees are lease modifications. Entities that make this election can then elect to apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842 or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. On April 1, 2020, the Company adopted this guidance and determined that it has not materially impacted the Company's consolidated financial statements. For all leases when the Company is a lessor, the Company elected to not evaluate whether certain concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the Company’s rights as the lessor or the obligations of the lessee provided to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on tenants are lease modifications, further electing to account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”) which changes the model for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Specifically, the amendments in the ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of this new guidance. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13. The adoption of this standard has not materially impacted the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). This new guidance modified the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Public entities are required to disclose the following: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, public entities will no longer be required to disclose the following: (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new pronouncement also clarifies and modifies certain existing provisions, including eliminating “at a minimum” from the phrase “an entity shall disclose at a minimum” to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and clarifying that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-13. The adoption of this standard has not materially impacted the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 is intended to improve the accounting when considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-17. The adoption of this standard has not materially impacted the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform.” ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. On July 1, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company determined these elections have not materially impacted the Company's consolidated financial
56

statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. ASU 2020-06 simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models currently required. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted. The adoption of this standard will not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Leases

The Company acquires, owns and manages commercial single-tenant lease properties, with the majority being long-term triple-net leases where the tenant is generally responsible for all improvements and contractually obligated to pay all operating costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and repairs and maintenance costs). As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 203 single-tenant retail net leased properties spanning 38 states, with tenants representing 56 different brands or concepts across 23 retail sectors. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining terms of leases range from 2-34 years.

The Company’s property leases have been classified as operating leases and some have scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term.

On January 1, 2019, the Predecessor adopted the new accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases, including all related ASUs. The Predecessor elected to use the alternative modified retrospective transition method provided in ASU 2018-11 (the "effective date method"). Under this method, the effective date of January 1, 2019 is the date of initial application. In connection with the adoption of Topic 842, the Predecessor elected a package of practical expedients, transition options, and accounting policy elections as follows:

Package of practical expedients is applied to all leases, allowing the Predecessor not to reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, (ii) lease classification for expired or existing leases, and (iii) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842;

For land easements, the Predecessor elected not to assess at transition whether any expired or existing land easements are, or contain, leases if they were not previously accounted for as leases under the previous lease accounting standard (Topic 840);

Lessor separation and allocation practical expedient — The Predecessor as lessor, to aggregate non-lease components with the related lease component if certain conditions are met, and account for the combined component based on its predominant characteristic, which generally results in combining lease and non-lease components of its tenant lease contracts to a single line shown as rental revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss); and

The Predecessor made an accounting policy election to continue to exclude, from contract consideration, sales tax (and similar taxes) collected from lessees.

All lease-related income is reported as a single line item, rental revenue (including reimbursable), in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Effective January 1, 2019, with the adoption of ASC 842, rental revenues are presented net of provision for doubtful accounts.

Fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent and straight-line lease adjustments.

Variable lease income includes the following main items in the lease contracts:

57

Recoveries from tenants represents amounts which tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for the tenants' portion of actual recoverable costs incurred.

Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

Successor Credit Facility

In December 2019, the Company entered into a senior credit facility consisting of (i) a $175.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and (ii) a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”, and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is lead arranger and bookrunner and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is administrative agent under the Credit Facility (the “Administrative Agent”).

The Term Loan matures on December 23, 2024 and the Revolver matures on December 23, 2023, subject to extension up to one year. The Administrative Agent released the collateral in connection with the Company’s satisfaction of the Collateral Release Requirements in the fourth quarter of 2020, therefore interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and are determined by (A) in the case of the Term Loan either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and (B) in the case of the Revolver either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings.

Prior to the collateral release, the Credit Facility was secured by a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on all existing and future equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries of any Eligible Property (as defined in the Credit Facility) owned by the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also provided that the Administrative Agent has the option to release the collateral securing the Credit Facility upon delivery of satisfactory evidence from the Company that Collateral Release Requirements (as defined in the Credit Facility) have been met, which requirements include, among others, conditions related to the unencumbered asset value and asset diversification of the Company.

For so long as the Credit Facility was secured, which was through the period ended September 30, 2020, the interest rates under the Credit Facility were based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and were determined by (A) in the case of Term Loan either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and (B) in the case of Revolving Loans either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.30%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.35% to 1.30%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.

The Company is required to pay a Revolver facility fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the unused capacity if usage exceeds 50% of the total available facility, or 0.25% of the unused facility if usage does not exceed 50%. Loans from the Revolver are generally restricted if, among other things, the proposed usage of the proceeds from the loan do not meet certain criteria as outlined in the Credit Facility Agreement, if an event of default exists, or if the requested loan will create an event of default. Loans from the Revolver may not exceed the total revolving commitments.

61

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to amend and redefine its debt covenant calculations. The Company incurred and capitalized less than $0.1 million of financing costs relating to this amendment, which has been pro-rated to the Term Loan and Revolver based on their respective borrowing capacities.

On December 23, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor, the Company fully drew down on its Term Loan and used the proceeds to acquire the Predecessor who then concurrently settled its outstanding debt facilities of $168.3 million, including incremental legal and tax costs of $0.4 million, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.5 million. As part of the acquisition, the Company did not assume any obligation under the Predecessor's then outstanding debt facilities. Settlement of the Predecessor's debt was contingent upon the consummation of the Private Offering. In the Successor's consolidated statement of cash flows the consideration paid to settle the Predecessor's debt is included in acquisitions of assets of the Predecessor. The residual amount of $4.3 million was held in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on December 31, 2019 on the Successor's consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the remaining terms of each respective loan. Term Loan deferred financing costs of $1.1 million, of which $0.9 million and $1.1 million is unamortized as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included within term loan, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Revolver deferred financing costs of $1.6 million, of which $1.2 million and $1.6 million is unamortized as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is included within other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Total deferred financing costs amortized on the Term Loan and Revolver were $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, respectively. This is included in interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs, of 1.97% and 3.28%, respectively, which as of September 28, 2020, is inclusive of the interest rate hedge as described in “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments.”

The Company incurred interest expense in connection with the Term Loan for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019 of $3.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s Term Loan has been derived based on market observable inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company assessed that the carrying value materially approximated the estimated fair value of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

During 2020, the Company incurred interest expense, exclusive of facility fees for unused capacity, on borrowings under the Revolver of $0.1 million, with a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs, of 1.54%. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolver. The Company also incurred interest expense in connection with unused capacity for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019 of $0.6 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2020 and expects to be in compliance for the following twelve-month period.

Debt Maturity

Payments on the Term Loan are interest only through maturity. All outstanding amounts on the Term Loan are due on December 23, 2024.

Predecessor Credit Facility and Mortgages Payable

The Predecessor had a syndicated credit facility (the "Predecessor Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A., acting as the administrative agent, wherein the Predecessor borrowed funds to acquire its properties. The Predecessor Credit Facility was secured by a first lien on the Predecessor's portfolio of properties. As amended, the Predecessor Credit Facility consisted of legacy term loans and a $30 million accordion available on or before November 22, 2019. The Predecessor Credit Facility provided for total borrowings of up to $289.8 million subject to the approval of the lenders. The Predecessor Credit Facility provided for interest only payments through June 4, 2019 and amortized over 30-years thereafter (with interest rates based on LIBOR plus 2.4% to 2.5%). The Predecessor Credit Facility was repaid in full on December 23, 2019.

62

The Predecessor refinanced three properties in 2017 with a $3.3 million term loan with LegacyTexas Bank, secured by a first lien on the properties. The loan was interest only and interest was based on LIBOR plus 3.75%. The loan was repaid in full on December 23, 2019.

The Predecessor assumed five term loans in an acquisition of five properties during 2018 with a principal amount of $14.1 million with Wells Fargo. The loans were fully amortized, and interest was fixed at 5.773%. The loans were repaid in full on December 23, 2019.

In accordance with the terms of the Predecessor's credit facilities, the Predecessor was required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants which, among other things, required the Predecessor to maintain certain (i) leverage, (ii) debt service coverage and (iii) liquidity ratios.

Total deferred financing costs amortized on the Predecessor’s credit facilities was $1.0 million for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019. This is included in interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Predecessor incurred interest expense of $9.3 million in connection with its borrowings for the period from January 1, 2019 to December 22, 2019.

Note 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and the change is reflected as cash flow hedge changes in fair value in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash investing and financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Effective September 28, 2020, such derivatives were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with Term Loan.

Amounts will subsequently be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes and does not have derivative netting arrangements.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties it considers credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings.

The Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in thousands, except number of instruments):

Number of Instruments Notional

Interest Rate Products $ 227  $ 55  Interest expense, net $ (26) $ 55 

The Company did not exclude any amounts from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including 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, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.
64


To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

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 its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2020, 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 its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s derivative assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company declared and paid the following common stock dividends (in thousands, except per share data):

Declaration Date Dividend Per Share Record Date Total Amount Payment Date
August 18, 2020 $ 0.10  September 15, 2020 $ 2,430  September 25, 2020
October 27, 2020 0.20  December 1, 2020 5,627  December 15, 2020
$ 0.30  $ 8,057 

The holders of OP Units are entitled to an equal distribution per Class A and B OP Unit held as of each record date. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership paid distributions of $0.4 million and $0.4 million to holders of OP Units as of September 25, 2020 and December 15, 2020, respectively.

For federal income tax purposes, distributions to stockholders are characterized as ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, or nondividend distributions. Nondividend distributions will reduce U.S. stockholders’ basis (but not below zero) in their shares. The following table shows the character of the Company’s common stock distributions paid on a percentage basis for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Inclusive of the $2.4 million common stock dividend paid on September 25, 2020, was $0.2 million of dividends paid relating to the Company’s 2019 fiscal period.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent noncontrolling holders of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. OP Units are convertible into common stock as the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, noncontrolling interest represented 5.8% and 33.4%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, OP Unit holders converted 2,441,869 OP Units into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Effective with the Company's initial public offering, 13,681,561 OP Units were issued to the Company in exchange for $227.3 million and 255,268 of OP Unit holders converted their units into common stock of the Company.

Effective with the Company’s Private Offering, the Company contributed $219.0 million of the Private Offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership acquired the Predecessor for a combination of OP Units and cash. The Operating Partnership issued 11,797,645 Class A OP Units to the Company for its contribution and 4,449,019 OP Units (3,652,149 Class A and 796,870 Class B) to the Predecessor's owners for the acquisition. Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units have identical rights and preferences, except that the Class A OP Units will, and the Class B OP Units will not, be entitled to receive the special stock dividend, if applicable.

Note 10 – Stock Based Compensation

Under the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which became effective on December 23, 2019, 2,094,976 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. The Omnibus Incentive Plan
67

provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, long-term incentive plan units, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based, share-related or cash-based awards, including performance-based awards, to employees, directors and consultants, with each grant evidenced by an award agreement providing the terms of the award. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. 

As of December 31, 2020, the only stock-based compensation granted by the Company were restricted stock units. The total amount of stock-based compensation costs recognized in general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in 2019.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company made performance-based restricted stock unit grants to certain employees and non-employee directors. The performance condition required the Company to effectively file a shelf registration statement. Up until the point of filing the registration statement, performance was not deemed probable and accordingly, no restricted stock units had the capability of vesting and no stock-based compensation expense was recorded. As a result of the Company's initial public offering in August 2020, the performance condition was satisfied and the Company recorded a stock-based compensation expense catch-up adjustment of $1.4 million. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant and vest in equal annual installments over the next three to five years.

The following table summarizes performance and service based restricted stock unit activity for the period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

2020 2019

Unvested restricted stock grants outstanding, end of year 207,803  $ 19.75  168,353  $ 19.75 

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $2.2 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based restricted stock units. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $2.6 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. These units are subject to graded vesting and amortization is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each vesting tranche in the award.

The weighted average grant date fair value of unvested restricted units is calculated as the per share price determined in the Private Offering.

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company made service-based restricted stock unit grants to certain employees and non-employee directors in August 2020. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant and vest in equal annual installments over the next three to five years.

The following table summarizes service based restricted stock unit activity for the period ended December 31, 2020:

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with service-based restricted stock units. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $2.8 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.6 years. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award.

The weighted average grant date fair value of service based unvested restricted units is calculated as the per share price determined in the initial public offering.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share

Net income per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly calculated except that the denominator is increased by using the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding unvested restricted stock units and using the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the Company’s Class A and B OP Units. The Company has noncontrolling interests in the form of OP Units which are convertible into common stock and represent potentially dilutive securities, as the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from December 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019. Net income per share information is not applicable for the reporting periods prior to December 23, 2019.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. At the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. This annual report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

On March 3, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”) pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”).

The Program allows individuals who are eligible to receive awards under the Omnibus Plan, as selected by the Committee from time to time, to elect to receive restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Omnibus Plan in lieu of a specified percentage of cash
71

compensation. The amount of compensation that a participant elects to reduce will be applied to the issuance of an award of RSUs under the Omnibus Plan (the “Alignment RSUs”), and the participant will receive an additional award of RSUs under the Omnibus Plan based upon a multiple of the Alignment RSUs (the “Vesting Multiple”) that corresponds to the length of the vesting period selected by the participant (the “Additional RSUs,” and collectively with the Alignment RSUs, the “Awarded RSUs”). The number of Alignment RSUs will be determined as of the second business day following the release of the Company’s fourth quarter earnings for the most recently completed fiscal year, or, if such date is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately following such date, and the Awarded RSUs will be granted to a participant as soon as administratively feasible following such date.

The Committee will determine the minimum and maximum percentage of each compensation type that may be reduced and applied to Alignment RSUs, the lengths of the vesting periods and the corresponding Vesting Multiples that may apply under the Program. Currently, participants may elect to receive Alignment RSUs in lieu of 10%, 25% or 50% of short-term incentive compensation that is earned with respect to a fiscal year, with the number of Additional RSUs being determined by application of a Vesting Multiple of 0.25x. Awarded RSUs will vest over three years, in substantially equal annual installments, generally subject to continued provision of services. As set forth in the form of RSU agreement governing the Awarded RSUs (the “Form of Alignment of Interest RSU Agreement”), the event of a termination by the Company without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in the Omnibus Plan), the Awarded RSUs will immediately vest in full.

Mark Manheimer, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Andy Blocher, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, along with certain other selected employees of the Company, are eligible to participate in the Program. Each of Messrs. Manheimer and Blocher have elected to receive Alignment RSUs in lieu of 50% of their short-term incentive compensation with respect to the Company’s 2020 fiscal year.

The foregoing descriptions of the Program and the Form of Alignment of Interest RSU Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Program and the Form of Alignment of Interest RSU Agreement, each of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.15 and 10.16, respectively.

NETSTREIT CORP.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
DESCRIPTION OF STOCK
The following is a summary of the material terms of securities of NETSTREIT Corp. (referred to herein as “we”, “us”, “our” or “our company”) registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our charter and bylaws and applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”). We encourage you to read carefully our charter and bylaws and the applicable provisions of the MGCL for a more complete understanding of our common stock. Each of our charter and bylaws is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this exhibit is filed or incorporated by reference.
General
Our charter provides that we may issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (our “common stock”), and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. A majority of our entire board of directors has the power, without stockholder approval, to amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue.
Under Maryland law, our stockholders generally are not liable for our debts or obligations solely as a result of stockholders' status as stockholders.
Common Stock
Dividends, Distributions, Liquidation and Other Rights
Common stockholders are entitled to receive distributions when, as and if authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends. Common stockholders are also entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment of, or adequate provision for, all of our known debts and liabilities. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of our stock, including any shares of preferred stock that we may issue, and to the provisions of our charter regarding restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock.
Our common stockholders have no preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our capital stock. Our charter provides that our stockholders generally have no appraisal rights unless our board of directors determines that appraisal rights will apply to one or more transactions in which our common stockholders would otherwise be entitled to exercise such rights. Subject to our charter restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, holders of shares of our common stock will initially have equal dividend, liquidation and other rights.
Voting Rights of Common Stock
Subject to our charter restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock and the terms of any other class or series of our stock that we may issue, each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of
1



directors. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast “for” and “against” each director nominee. In contested elections (i.e., where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock can effectively elect all of the directors then standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
Under Maryland law and our charter, we generally cannot dissolve, amend our charter, merge, transfer all or substantially all of our assets, convert into another form of entity, engage in a statutory share exchange or engage in a similar transaction unless such transaction is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except that the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on such matter is required to amend the provisions of our charter relating to the removal of directors or the vote required to amend the removal provisions.
Maryland law also permits us to transfer all or substantially all of our assets without the approval of our stockholders to an entity all of the equity interests of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by us. Because our operating assets may be held by our operating partnership or its wholly owned subsidiaries, these subsidiaries may be able to merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets without the approval of our stockholders.
Power to Reclassify Our Unissued Shares of Capital Stock
Our charter authorizes our board of directors to reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock into other classes or series of stock, including additional classes or series of common stock or classes or series of preferred stock, and to establish the designation and number of shares of each such class or series and 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 of each such class or series. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or preferred stock with terms that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our common stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
Power to Increase or Decrease Authorized Capital Stock and Issue Additional Shares of Our Common Stock and Preferred Stock
A majority of our entire board of directors has the power to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we are authorized to issue, to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our stock into other classes or series of stock, and to authorize us to issue the newly classified shares. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or another class or series of stock, including a class or series of preferred stock, that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us. These actions may be taken without stockholder approval unless such 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 any of our stock is listed or traded. We believe that the power of our board of directors to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and thereafter to cause us to issue such
2



shares of stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer
In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, our stock must be beneficially 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, not more than 50% of the value of the outstanding shares of stock (after taking into account options to acquire shares of stock) may be owned, directly or through certain constructive ownership rules, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as private foundations) at any time during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be taxed as a REIT has been made).
Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer of our stock that are intended to assist us in complying with these requirements and qualifying as a REIT, among other reasons. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may actually or beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock or of any class or series of our preferred stock, or more than 9.8% of the aggregate value of all of our outstanding stock, in each case excluding any shares of our stock that are not treated as outstanding for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We refer to each of these restrictions as an “ownership limit” and collectively as the “ownership limits.” A person or entity that would have acquired actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock but for the application of the ownership limits or any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock discussed below is referred to as a “prohibited owner.”
The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of our common stock or of any class or series of our preferred stock (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, our common stock or our preferred stock) by an individual or entity could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the outstanding shares of our common stock or of any class or series of preferred stock and thereby violate the applicable ownership limit.
Our charter provides that our board of directors, subject to certain limits, upon receipt of a request that complies with the requirements of our charter may retroactively or prospectively exempt a person from any or all of the ownership limits and establish a different limit on ownership for such person. As a condition of the exception, our board of directors may require an opinion of counsel or IRS ruling, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to our board of directors, in order to determine or ensure our status as a REIT and such representations and/or agreements as it may deem necessary or prudent. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, our board of directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with such an exception.
Our board of directors may increase or decrease any or all of the ownership limits for one or more persons, except that a decreased ownership limit will not be effective for any person whose actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock exceeds the decreased ownership limit at the time of the decrease until the person's actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock equals or falls below
3



the decreased ownership limit, although any further acquisition of our stock (other than by a previously exempted person) will violate the decreased ownership limit. Our board of directors may not increase or decrease any ownership limit if the new ownership limit would allow five or fewer persons to actually or beneficially own more than 49.9% in value of our outstanding stock or could cause us to be "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
Our charter further prohibits:
any person from actually, beneficially or constructively owning shares of our stock that could result in us being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that could result in us owning (actually or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income we derive from such tenant, taking into account our other income that would not qualify under the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code, would cause us to fail to satisfy any the gross income requirements imposed on REITs); 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 under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code).
Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that will or may violate the ownership limits or any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock described above must give written notice immediately to us or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, provide us at least 15 days prior written notice, and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on our status as a REIT.
The ownership limits and other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock described above will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with any such restriction is no longer required in order for us to qualify as a REIT.
Pursuant to our charter, if any purported transfer of our stock or other event that would cause a change in the beneficial or constructive ownership of our stock would (i) result in any person violating any of the ownership limits described above or such other ownership limit established by our board of directors, (ii) result in us being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or (iii) otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, then the number of shares causing the violation (rounded up to the nearest whole share) will be automatically transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries selected by us. The prohibited owner will have no rights in shares of our stock held by the trustee. The automatic transfer will 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 trust. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited owner prior to our discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above must be repaid to the trustee upon demand. If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the applicable restriction on ownership and transfer of our stock, then the transfer of the
4



number of shares that otherwise would cause any person to violate the above restrictions will be void and of no force or effect, regardless of any action or inaction by the board of directors, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in the shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any transfer of our stock would result in shares of our stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code), then any such purported transfer will be void and of no force or effect and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in the shares.
Shares of our stock transferred to the trustee are deemed offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer of the shares to the trust (or, if the event causing the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase of such shares at Market Price (as defined in our charter), the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the transfer of the trust) and (ii) the Market Price on the date we accept, or our designee accepts, such offer. We may reduce the amount payable to the trustee by the amount of dividends and distributions paid to the prohibited owner and owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee and pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. We have the right to accept such offer until the trustee has sold the shares of our stock held in the trust. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates and the trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited owner and any dividends or other distributions held by the trustee with respect to such stock will be paid to the charitable beneficiary.
If we do not exercise our right to purchase the shares held in the trust, the trustee must sell the shares to a person or persons designated by the trustee who could own the shares without violating the ownership limits or other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of shares to the trust. Upon such sale, the trustee must distribute to the prohibited owner an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the prohibited owner for the shares (or, if the event causing the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase of such shares at Market Price, the Market Price of the shares on the day of the event causing the transfer of the trust) and (ii) the sales proceeds (net of commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the trustee for the shares. The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the prohibited owner by the amount of dividends and other distributions paid to the prohibited owner and owed by the prohibited owner to the trustee. 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 or other distributions thereon. In addition, if, prior to discovery by us that shares of our stock have been transferred to the trustee, such shares of stock are sold by a prohibited owner, then such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the 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 must be paid to the trustee upon demand.
The 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 trust, the trustee will receive, in trust for the beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid by us with respect to such shares, and may exercise all voting rights with respect to such shares 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 trust, the trustee may, at the trustee's sole and absolute discretion:
rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited owner prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust; and

5



recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary.
However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee may not rescind and recast the vote.
If our board of directors determines that a proposed transfer or other event has taken place that violates 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 5% or more (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding shares of our stock, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, must give written notice to us stating the name and address of such owner, the number of shares of each class and series of our stock that the owner actually or beneficially owns and a description of the manner in which the shares are held. Each such owner also must provide us in writing with any additional information that we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of the person's actual or beneficial ownership on our status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limits and the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock set forth in our charter. In addition, any person that is an actual, beneficial owner or constructive owner of shares of our stock and any person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of our stock for an actual, beneficial owner or constructive owner must promptly disclose to us in writing such information as we may request in order to determine our status as a REIT and comply with requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.
Any certificates representing shares of our stock will bear a legend referring to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock described above or a statement that we will furnish a full statement about the restrictions on ownership and transfer to a stockholder or request and without charge.
These restrictions on ownership and transfer could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our company that might involve a premium price for our common stock that our stockholders believe to be in their best interest.
Exchange Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NTST”.

Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and Our Charter and Bylaws
Our Board of Directors
Under our charter and bylaws, the number of directors of our company may be established, increased or decreased only by a majority of our entire board of directors, but may not be fewer than the minimum number required under the MGCL (which is one) nor, unless our bylaws are amended, more than 15. We have elected by a provision of our charter to be subject to a provision of Maryland law requiring that, subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of stock, any vacancy may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a
6



quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy will serve for the full term of the directorship in which such vacancy occurred and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.
Removal of Directors
Our charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more directors, a director may be removed, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.
Subtitle 8
Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect, 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 be subject to any or all of five provisions which provide for:
a classified board;

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 a vote of the remaining directors (whether or not they constitute a quorum) and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies; or

a majority requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders.
Our charter provides that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors (whether or not they constitute a quorum) and that a director elected by the board of directors to fill a vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. We have not elected to be subject to any of the other provisions of Subtitle 8, including the provisions that would permit us to classify our board of directors without stockholder approval. Moreover, our charter provides that, without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter by stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, we may not elect to be subject to the classified board provisions of Subtitle 8. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we (i) vest in our board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directors, (ii) require, unless called by our Chairman, our chief executive officer, our president or our board of directors, the request of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting to call a special meeting of stockholders and (iii) provide that a director may be removed, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors.
Meetings of Stockholders
Under our bylaws and pursuant to Maryland law, annual meetings of stockholders will be held each year at a date and at the time and place determined by our board of directors. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by our board of directors, the Chair of our board of directors, our president or our chief executive officer. Additionally, subject to the provisions of our bylaws, special meetings of the
7



stockholders to act on any matter must be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting who have requested the special meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws. Only matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered and acted upon at such a meeting. Our secretary will inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and delivering the notice of meeting (including our proxy materials), and the requesting stockholder must pay such estimated cost before our secretary may prepare and deliver the notice of the special meeting.
Amendments to Our Charter and Bylaws
Under the MGCL and our charter, we generally cannot amend our charter unless declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter except for certain amendments related to the removal of directors and the vote required to amend the provisions relating to removal, which must be declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast not less than two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire board, and without any action by our stockholders, may also amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series we are authorized to issue. Our board of directors may also amend our charter to change our name or make certain other ministerial changes without stockholder approval.
Our board of directors has the power to adopt, alter or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws. However, our board of directors may not amend the provisions of our bylaws relating to our exemption from the “business combination” provisions of the MGCL, the “control share” provisions of the MGCL or the adoption of a stockholder rights plan without the approval of a majority of the votes cast on the matter by our stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Our bylaws also provide stockholders with the concurrent right to amend our bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on a matter.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide that, with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders at the meeting may be made only:
pursuant to our notice of the meeting;

by or at the direction of our board of directors; or

by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record at the record date set by the board of directors for the meeting, at the time of giving of the notice of the meeting and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjustment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws.
With respect to special meetings of stockholders, our bylaws provide that only the business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought before the special meeting of stockholders, and nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors may be made only:
8



by or at the direction of our board of directors;

by a stockholder who has requested a special meeting for the purpose of electing directors in compliance with our bylaws and has supplied the information required by our bylaws for each individual the stockholder proposes to nominate for election; or

provided that the meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the record date for the meeting, at the time of giving of the notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting (and any postponement or adjustment thereof), who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, our bylaws.
The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of nominations and other proposals is to afford our board of directors and our stockholders the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the advisability of the other proposals and, to the extent considered necessary by our board of directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations regarding the nominations or other proposals. Although our bylaws do not give our board of directors the power to disapprove timely stockholder nominations and proposals, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or proposals for other action if the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors to our board of directors or to approve its own proposal.
Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter and Bylaws
The restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock, the supermajority vote required to remove directors, our election to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 vesting in our board of directors the exclusive power to fill vacancies on our board of directors and the advance notice provisions of our bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of our company.
Further, a majority of our entire board of directors has the power to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we are authorized to issue, to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our stock into other classes or series of stock, and to authorize us to issue the newly classified shares, as discussed above under the caption “Common Stock.” As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or another class or series of stock, including a class or series of preferred stock, that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us. These actions may be taken without stockholder approval unless such 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 any of our stock is listed or traded. We believe that the power of our board of directors to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of stock and to classify or reclassify unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and thereafter to cause us to issue such shares of stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise.
Our charter and bylaws also provide that the number of our directors may be established only by our board of directors, which prevents our stockholders from increasing the number of our directors and filling any vacancies created by such increase with their own nominees. The provisions of our bylaws discussed above under the captions “— Meetings of Stockholders” and “— Advance Notice of Director
9



Nominations and New Business” require stockholders seeking to call a special meeting, nominate an individual for election as a director or propose other business at an annual or special meeting to comply with certain notice and information requirements. We believe that these provisions will help to assure the continuity and stability of our business strategies and policies as determined by our board of directors and promote good corporate governance by providing us with clear procedures for calling special meetings, information about a stockholder proponent’s interest in us and adequate time to consider stockholder nominees and other business proposals. However, these provisions, alone or in combination, could make it more difficult for our stockholders to remove incumbent directors or fill vacancies on our board of directors with their own nominees and could delay, defer or prevent a change in control, including a proxy contest or tender offer that might involve a premium price for our common stockholders or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.
No Stockholder Rights Plan
We do not currently have a stockholder rights plan, and our bylaws provide that we may not adopt a stockholder rights plan in the future without (i) the approval of our stockholders by a majority of the votes cast on the matter or (ii) ratification from our stockholders by a majority of the votes cast on the matter within 12 months of adoption of the plan if the board of directors determines, in the exercise of its duties under applicable law, that it is in our best interest to adopt a rights plan without the delay of seeking prior stockholder approval.
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, Northern Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, (b) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf (other than actions arising under federal securities laws), (c) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders, (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws or (e) any other action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. These choice of forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Furthermore, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the Securities Act. Although our bylaws contain the choice of forum provisions described above, it is possible that a court could rule that such provisions are inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provisions are unenforceable. For example, under the Securities Act, federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act, and investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the exclusive forum provisions described above do not apply to any actions brought under the Exchange Act.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
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
10



liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
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 or in which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

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 on behalf of the corporation or if the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless, in either case, a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. 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. In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of:
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

a written undertaking, which may be unsecured, by the director or officer or on the director's or officer's behalf to repay the amount paid if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
Our charter obligates us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding without requiring a preliminary determination of the director's or officer's ultimate entitlement to indemnification 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 a director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, member, manager, trustee, employee or agent of another
11



corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any 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 also permits us, with the approval of our board of directors, 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 our company or a predecessor of our company.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers.
REIT Qualification
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to attempt to, or continue to, qualify as a REIT.

NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
ALIGNMENT OF INTEREST PROGRAM

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [________], 2021 (the “Grant Date”) by and between NETSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and [___________] (the “Participant”), pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), and the Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to Eligible Recipients;
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Program pursuant to which Eligible Recipients may elect to receive Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash compensation, as determined by the Administrator; and
WHEREAS, the Participant (i) is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan and (ii) has made a valid election to reduce compensation in accordance with Section 4 of the Program, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest of the Company to grant this Award to the Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in the Plan, and in the Program, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Grant and Vesting of Awarded RSUs.
(a)Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with [_____] Restricted Stock Units (the “Awarded RSUs”). Each Awarded RSU is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Awarded RSU vests.
(b)Vesting. The Awarded RSUs shall vest in substantially equal annual installments on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each such anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of the Awarded RSUs may also vest under the circumstances described in Section 3(c).
2.Rights as a Stockholder.
1



(a)Unless and until an Awarded RSU has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Awarded RSU or that Share.
(b)If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Awarded RSUs credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Awarded RSUs awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Awarded RSUs are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Awarded RSUs are forfeited).
3.Termination of Service.
(a)Any Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(c), in the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the Awarded RSUs that is not then vested shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(b)Termination for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause, the entire Award of Awarded RSUs, whether or not then vested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(c)Termination without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or, to the extent that the Participant is subject to a written employment agreement that contains a definition of Good Reason, by the Participant for Good Reason, the Awarded RSUs shall immediately vest in full.
4.Timing and Form of Payment.
Once an Awarded RSU vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Awarded RSU. Shares will be credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5.Tax Withholding.
The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof, cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Awarded RSUs in an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of
2



Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. The Participant shall be entitled to satisfy the amount of any such required tax withholding by having the Company withhold from the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restrictive Stock Units a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholdings.
6.Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.
i.Unauthorized Disclosure. The Participant agrees and understands that in the course of the Participant’s Service, the Participant has been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “Group”), including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Group and other forms of information considered by the Group to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Participant’s violation of this Section 6(a) or disclosure by a third party who is known by the Participant to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. The Participant agrees that at all times during the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with the Participant’s Service, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Participant shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Participant’s Service, the Participant shall promptly supply to the Company all property, computers, tablets, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards (including credit cards), surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Participant during or prior to the Participant’s Service, and any copies thereof in the Participant’s (or reasonably capable of being reduced to his or her) possession; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Participant from retaining and utilizing: (i) documents relating to the Participant’s personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; (ii) documents relating to the Participant’s personal tax obligations; (iii) the Participant’s desk calendar, rolodex, and the like; and (iv) such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Participant and any member of
3



the Group, the Participant shall be entitled to provide, without breaching this Agreement or any such other agreement and without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental or administrative authorities regarding possible violations of law or otherwise testify or participate in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or administrative authorities, and for purpose of clarity, the Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.
ii.Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, and in further consideration of the Participant’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Group, the Participant agrees that the Participant shall not, during the Restriction Period (as defined below), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of the limited partnership interest in any private equity fund, hedge fund or venture capital fund or any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 6(b), so long as the Participant does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such fund or issuer other than rights as a limited partner or stockholder thereof. For purposes of this Section 6(b), “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any enterprise (including, but not limited to, any enterprise related to the business of acquiring, developing, investing, structuring or managing retail net lease real estate properties and any other lines of business any member of the Group is participating in, or has taken substantive steps towards participating in, as of the date hereof) that is competitive with the business conducted by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures during the Participant’s Service, within the United States and anywhere outside the United States where the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures operated during the Participant’s Service. The “Restriction Period” shall mean the period of the Participant’s Service and for twelve (12) months following the termination thereof; provided, however, that, unless the Participant is or becomes entitled to accelerated vesting of the Awarded RSUs upon termination of Service, the Restriction Period shall automatically end on the date that the Participant’s Service is terminated; provided, further, that the Company in its sole discretion may waive all or any portion of the Restriction Period.
iii.Non-Solicitation. During the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not:
1.directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of any member of the Group; or
2.induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, or licensee of the Group to cease doing business with the Group or in any way interfere with the
4



relationship between the Group, on the one hand, and any such customer, supplier, or licensee, on the one hand.
iv.Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restriction Period (other than in connection with carrying out the Participant’s responsibilities for the Group), the Participant shall not directly or indirectly induce or solicit (or assist any Person to induce or solicit) any customer or client of any member of the Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with any member of the Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship between any member of the Group and any of their customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or licensors so as to cause harm to any member of the Group.
v.Extension of Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall be tolled with respect to Sections 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d) for any period during which the Participant is in breach of any such section.
vi.Proprietary Rights. The Participant shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by the Participant, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Participant’s Service and related to the business or activities of the Group (the “Developments”). Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by a member of the Group, the Participant assigns and agrees to assign all of the Participant’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Participant acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company as the Participant’s employer. Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Participant shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Group. These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Participant’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Participant while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Participant’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In connection with the Participant’s execution of this Agreement, the Participant has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that the Participant holds as of the date hereof. If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Participant’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 6(f), the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Participant’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other
5



lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 6(f) with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Participant.
vii.Other Covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any restrictive covenants to which the Participant may otherwise be subject, whether under the terms of his or her employment or services agreement or otherwise.
viii.Severability. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state or any similar subdivision in any geographic area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding sections. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.
ix.Remedies.
1.The Participant agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Group for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Participant therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Participant and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Participant, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the remedy set forth in Section 6(i)(ii) hereof. The terms of this Section 6(i) shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Participant. The Participant and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Group because of the Participant’s access to Confidential Information and the Participant’s material participation in the operation of such businesses.
2.In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6, (A) the Awarded RSUs (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be forfeited, (B) the Company shall be entitled to recover any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Awarded RSUs, and (C) if the Participant has previously sold any of the Shares derived from the Awarded RSUs, the Company shall also have the right to recover from the Participant the economic value thereof.
6



7.Nontransferability of Awarded RSUs.
The Awarded RSUs granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to a permitted transferee.
8.Beneficiary Designation.
The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
9.Requirements of Law.
The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Awarded RSUs shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares shall be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Awarded RSUs granted hereunder, if such issuance would result in a violation of applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10.No Guarantee of Continued Service.
Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service.
11.No Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Awarded RSUs granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12.Interpretation; Construction.
Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13.Amendments.
7



The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the unvested portion of the Awarded RSUs (but not any portion of the Awarded RSUs that has previously vested) in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting set forth in Section 1 hereof and substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant under the Awarded RSUs without the Participant’s consent. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14.Miscellaneous.
x.Notices. All notices, requests, demands, letters, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, mailed, certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, sent by next-day or overnight mail or delivery, or sent by fax, as follows:

NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
ALIGNMENT OF INTEREST PROGRAM

1.Purpose. NETSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), established the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) in order to (a) attract, retain and motivate key Employees (including prospective Employees), Directors, and Consultants, (b) align the interests of such persons with the Company’s stockholders, and (c) promote ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. This Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”) is being adopted effective March [3], 2021 in accordance with the Plan and is intended to further the purposes of the Plan by providing incentives to Eligible Recipients to receive awards of Restricted Stock Units, thereby strengthening the commitment of such persons to the Company and its stockholders.
2.Definitions. The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this Program. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Plan.

(a)Compensation” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, such Participant’s annual base salary, short-term incentive compensation or other cash compensation, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, Compensation shall be considered payable with respect to a Reduction Year (as defined below) even if paid in a subsequent year, provided that it relates to such Reduction Year (e.g., short-term incentive compensation that relates to performance in the Reduction Year, the amount of which, absent an election pursuant to this Program, would otherwise be payable in the year following the Reduction Year).

(b)Determination Date” shall mean the second business day following the release of the Company’s fourth quarter earnings for the most recently completed fiscal year, or, if such date is not a trading day, then the trading day immediately following such date.

3.Participation. The Participants in this Program shall be the Eligible Recipients who are selected by the Committee from time to time to participate in this Program.

4.Awards. Each year, Participants may (i) elect to reduce Compensation that may be payable in cash in respect of services to be provided in the subsequent fiscal year (the “Reduction Year”) by a percentage amount, which will be applied to the issuance of an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (“Alignment RSUs”) and (ii) receive an additional Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan (the “Additional RSUs,” and collectively with the Alignment RSUs, the “Awarded RSUs”) based upon a multiple (the “Vesting Multiple”) of the Alignment RSUs that corresponds to the length of the vesting period (the “Vesting Period”) selected by the Participant.

(a)The minimum and maximum percentage of each Compensation type that a Participant may elect to be reduced and applied to Alignment RSUs shall be determined from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion.

(b)The length(s) of the Vesting Period that may be available for selection by the Participant, as well as the corresponding Vesting Multiple(s), shall be determined from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion.

1



(c)The amount of Compensation applied to the Alignment RSUs shall reduce the Compensation otherwise payable in cash to the Participant in respect of the Reduction Year.

(d)The number of Alignment RSUs shall be determined as of the Determination Date by dividing the amount of the Compensation that the Participant elected to be reduced for the Reduction Year by the closing price of a Share on the Determination Date, rounded to the nearest share.

(e)The number of Awarded RSUs shall be equal to the sum of (i) the Alignment RSUs and (ii) the product of the Alignment RSUs and the Vesting Multiple, rounded to the nearest share.

(f)The Awarded RSUs shall be delivered to each Participant as soon as administratively feasible following the Determination Date; provided, that each Participant must be an Eligible Recipient under the Plan at the date of delivery of the Award in order to receive the Awarded RSUs.

(g)Each Participant must deliver a written election notice to the Committee of Participant’s election to obtain an Award pursuant to this Program or its designee prior to the end of the last business day before the beginning of the Reduction Year; provided, that, if permitted by the Committee, (i) a Participant who becomes newly eligible to participate in the Program may make an election within thirty (30) days after becoming eligible in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(7) and (ii) Participants may make an election with respect to performance-based compensation on or before the date that is six (6) months before the end of the applicable performance period in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(a)(8). The election notice shall contain the percentage reduction and the Vesting Period selected by the Participant. Unless otherwise approved by the Committee, the election notice shall be irrevocable following delivery by the Participant. Election notices under this Program will not be “evergreen”; i.e., an election notice with respect to one Reduction Year will not apply to a subsequent Reduction Year, and a new election notice must be submitted in accordance with this Section 4(g) with respect to each Reduction Year for which a Participant is eligible and desires to reduce his or her Compensation. Set forth on Exhibit A is the current form of election notice.

(h)Set forth on Exhibit B are the current items of Compensation eligible for reduction, minimum and maximum reduction percentage, Vesting Period and Vesting Multiple.

5.Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, any unvested Awarded RSUs held by the Participant as of the date of such termination shall be forfeited.

6.Subject to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Program and any Awarded RSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Program and the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern and control. For the avoidance of doubt, Awarded RSUs may be issued under this Program only to the extent of the Shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan.

7.Amendments. The Committee may from time to time amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Program; provided, that no such action shall adversely affect Awards previously granted pursuant to this Program.

2



8.Survival. This Program shall continue in effect for so long as the Plan is in effect unless earlier terminated by the Committee.

9.Section 409A. Payments under this Program are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code and the final treasury regulations and other legally binding guidance promulgated thereunder. This Program shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. If any provision of this Program needs to be revised to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then such provision or this Program shall be modified or restricted to the extent and in the manner necessary to be in compliance with such requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents guarantee that this Program complies with, or is exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, and none of the foregoing shall have any liability for the failure of this Program to so comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

10.Governing Law. This Program shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.

NETSTREIT CORP.
2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [________], 20[__] (the “Grant Date”) by and between NETSTREIT Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and [___________] (the “Participant”), pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees (including prospective Employees), Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and
WHEREAS, the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest of the Company to grant this Award to the Participant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units.
(a)Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with [_____] Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests.
(b)Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest in substantially equal annual installments on each of the first five (5) anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s continuous service with the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, as applicable, whether as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (“Service”), from the Grant Date through each such anniversary of the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units may also vest under the circumstances described in Section 3(c).
2.Rights as a Stockholder.
(a)Unless and until a Restricted Stock Unit has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Restricted Stock Unit or that Share.
(b)If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the
1



preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited).
3.Termination of Service.
(a)Any Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3(c), in the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that is not then vested shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(b)Termination for Cause. In the event that the Participant’s Service terminates for Cause, the entire Award of Restricted Stock Units, whether or not then vested, shall terminate and be cancelled immediately upon such termination of Service.
(c)Termination without Cause; Termination for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or, to the extent that the Participant is subject to a written employment agreement that contains a definition of Good Reason, by the Participant for Good Reason, the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest in full.
4.Timing and Form of Payment.
Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit. Shares will be credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time.
5.Tax Withholding.
The Company or any Affiliate thereof shall have the power to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate thereof, cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant with respect to the Restricted Stock Units in an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements, both domestic and foreign, relating to such transaction, and the Company or such Affiliate thereof may defer payment of cash or issuance of Shares until such requirements are satisfied; provided, however, that such amount may not exceed the maximum statutory withholding rate. The Participant shall be entitled to satisfy the amount of any such required tax withholding by having the Company withhold from the Shares otherwise distributable to the Participant upon vesting of the Restrictive Stock Units a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required tax withholdings.
2



6.Unauthorized Disclosure; Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Interference with Business Relationships; Proprietary Rights.
i.Unauthorized Disclosure. The Participant agrees and understands that in the course of the Participant’s Service, the Participant has been and will be exposed to and has and will receive information relating to the confidential affairs of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “Group”), including, without limitation, technical information, intellectual property, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, software, other information concerning the products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices of the Group and other forms of information considered by the Group to be confidential or in the nature of trade secrets (including, without limitation, ideas, research and development, know-how, formulas, technical data, designs, drawings, specifications, customer and supplier lists, pricing and cost information and business and marketing plans and proposals) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Participant’s violation of this Section 6(a) or disclosure by a third party who is known by the Participant to owe the Company an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. The Participant agrees that at all times during the Participant’s employment with the Company and thereafter, the Participant shall not disclose such Confidential Information, either directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust or other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof without the prior written consent of the Company and shall not use or attempt to use any such information in any manner other than in connection with the Participant’s Service, unless required by law to disclose such information, in which case the Participant shall provide the Company with written notice of such requirement as far in advance of such anticipated disclosure as possible. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. Upon termination of the Participant’s Service, the Participant shall promptly supply to the Company all property, computers, tablets, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards (including credit cards), surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data and any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to the Participant during or prior to the Participant’s Service, and any copies thereof in the Participant’s (or reasonably capable of being reduced to his or her) possession; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Participant from retaining and utilizing: (i) documents relating to the Participant’s personal benefits, entitlements and obligations; (ii) documents relating to the Participant’s personal tax obligations; (iii) the Participant’s desk calendar, rolodex, and the like; and (iv) such other records and documents as may reasonably be approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement between the Participant and any member of the Group, the Participant shall be entitled to provide, without breaching this Agreement or any such other agreement and without prior notice to the Company, information to governmental or administrative authorities regarding possible violations of law or otherwise testify or participate in any investigation or proceeding by any governmental or administrative authorities, and for purpose of clarity, the Participant is not prohibited from providing information voluntarily to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 21F of the Exchange Act.

ii.Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, and in further consideration of the Participant’s exposure to the Confidential Information of the Group, the Participant agrees that the Participant shall not, during the period of the Participant’s Service and for [twelve (12)] [twenty-four (24)] months following the termination thereof, regardless of the reason for such termination and regardless of whether the Participant is then entitled to receive any severance benefits (the “Restriction Period”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected in any manner with, including, without limitation, holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee, partner, or investor in, any Restricted Enterprise (as defined below); provided, that in no event shall ownership of one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding securities of the limited partnership interest in any private equity fund, hedge fund or venture capital fund or any class of any issuer whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, standing alone, be prohibited by this Section 6(b), so long as the Participant does not have, or exercise, any rights to manage or operate the business of such fund or issuer other than rights as a limited partner or stockholder thereof. For purposes of this Section 6(b), “Restricted Enterprise” shall mean any enterprise (including, but not limited to, any enterprise related to the business of acquiring, developing, investing, structuring or managing retail net lease real estate properties and any other lines of business any member of the Group is participating in, or has taken substantive steps towards participating in, as of the date hereof) that is competitive with the business conducted by the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures during the Participant’s Service, within the United States and anywhere outside the United States where the Company and its direct or indirect subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures operated during the Participant’s Service.
iii.Non-Solicitation. During the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not:
1.directly or indirectly contact, induce or solicit (or assist any Person to contact, induce or solicit) for employment any person who is, or within twelve (12) months prior to the date of such solicitation was, an employee of any member of the Group; or
2.induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, or licensee of the Group to cease doing business with the Group or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Group, on the one hand, and any such customer, supplier, or licensee, on the one hand.
iv.Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restriction Period (other than in connection with carrying out the Participant’s responsibilities for the Group), the Participant shall not directly or indirectly induce or solicit (or assist any Person to induce or solicit) any customer or client of any member of the Group to terminate its relationship or otherwise cease doing business in whole or in part with any member of the Group, or directly or indirectly interfere with (or assist any Person to interfere with) any material relationship between any member of the Group and any of their customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or licensors so as to cause harm to any member of the Group.
4



v.Extension of Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall be tolled with respect to Sections 6(b), 6(c), and 6(d) for any period during which the Participant is in breach of any such section.
vi.Proprietary Rights. The Participant shall disclose promptly to the Company any and all inventions, discoveries, and improvements (whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes), and all patentable or copyrightable works, initiated, conceived, discovered, reduced to practice, or made by the Participant, either alone or in conjunction with others, during the Participant’s Service and related to the business or activities of the Group (the “Developments”). Except to the extent any rights in any Developments constitute a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. that are owned ab initio by a member of the Group, the Participant assigns and agrees to assign all of the Participant’s right, title and interest in all Developments (including all intellectual property rights therein) to the Company or its nominee without further compensation, including all rights or benefits therefor, including without limitation the right to sue and recover for past and future infringement. The Participant acknowledges that any rights in any Developments constituting a work made for hire under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C § 101 et seq. are owned upon creation by the Company as the Participant’s employer. Whenever requested to do so by the Company, the Participant shall execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain trademarks, patents or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country or otherwise protect the interests of the Group. These obligations shall continue beyond the end of the Participant’s employment with the Company with respect to inventions, discoveries, improvements or copyrightable works initiated, conceived or made by the Participant while employed by the Company, and shall be binding upon the Participant’s employers, assigns, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. In connection with the Participant’s execution of this Agreement, the Participant has informed the Company in writing of any interest in any inventions or intellectual property rights that the Participant holds as of the date hereof. If the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Participant’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions described in this Section 6(f), the Participant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Participant’s agent and attorney in fact to act for and on the Participant’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 6(f) with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Participant.
vii.Other Covenants. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any restrictive covenants to which the Participant may otherwise be subject, whether under the terms of his or her employment or services agreement or otherwise.
viii.Severability. The covenants contained in this Section 6 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each county, city, state or any similar subdivision in any geographic area. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding sections. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court refuses to enforce any of such separate covenants (or any part thereof), then such unenforceable
5



covenant (or such part) shall be eliminated from this Agreement to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 6 are deemed to exceed the time, geographic or scope limitations permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, geographic or scope limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable law.
ix.Remedies.
1.The Participant agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Group for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Participant therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Participant and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Participant, without having to prove damages, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the remedy set forth in Section 6(i)(ii) hereof. The terms of this Section 6(i) shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Participant. The Participant and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the Group because of the Participant’s access to Confidential Information and the Participant’s material participation in the operation of such businesses.
2.In addition, and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event of the Participant’s breach of any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6, (A) the Restricted Stock Units (whether vested or unvested) shall immediately be forfeited, (B) the Company shall be entitled to recover any Shares acquired upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, and (C) if the Participant has previously sold any of the Shares derived from the Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall also have the right to recover from the Participant the economic value thereof.
7.Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units.
The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to a permitted transferee.
8.Beneficiary Designation.
The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be
6



effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime.
9.Requirements of Law.
The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares shall be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, if such issuance would result in a violation of applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws.
10.No Guarantee of Continued Service.
Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service.
11.No Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company.
12.Interpretation; Construction.
Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.
13.Amendments.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, alter or amend this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the unvested portion of the Restricted Stock Units (but not any portion of the Restricted Stock Units that has previously vested) in whole or in part, including without limitation, amending the criteria for vesting set forth in Section 1 hereof and substituting alternative vesting criteria; provided that such alteration, amendment, suspension or termination shall not adversely alter or impair the rights of the Participant under the Restricted Stock Units without the Participant’s consent. The Company shall give written notice to the Participant of any such alteration or amendment of this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the adoption thereof. This Agreement may also be amended by a writing signed by both the Company and the Participant.
14.Miscellaneous.

xii.No Guarantee of Future Awards. This Agreement does not guarantee the Participant the right to or expectation of future Awards under the Plan or any future plan adopted by the Company.
xiii.No Impact on Other Benefits. The value of the Restricted Stock Units is not part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, retirement, welfare, insurance or similar employee benefit.
xiv.Waiver. Either party hereto may by written notice to the other (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other actions of the other under this Agreement, (ii) waive compliance with any of the conditions or covenants of the other contained in this Agreement and (iii) waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the other under this Agreement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of either party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein. The waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by either party to exercise any right
8



or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s rights or privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party’s rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time or times hereunder.
xv.Entire Agreement; Plan Controls. This Agreement, together with the Plan, constitutes the entire obligation of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior written or oral expressions of intent or understanding with respect to such subject matter. In the event that the terms of this Agreement conflict with the terms of the Plan, the Plan shall control.
xvi.Code Section 409A Compliance. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrator determines that any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and fails to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, the Administrator reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such portion of the Restricted Stock Units in order to cause such portion of the Restricted Stock Units to either not be subject to Code Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.
xvii.Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflict of laws.
xviii.Section and Other Headings. The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
