On July 20, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in 1990.an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 24, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), a merger (the “Merger”) was completed between PSB and a direct subsidiary of Sequoia Parent LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), with the Company surviving.

Public Storage Operating Partnership Interests
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the outstanding sharesMerger Agreement, upon the Closing each partnership unit of the Company’s common stock if itPartnership (a “Partnership Unit”) that was issued and outstanding prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Partnership Merger Effective Time”) (other than units held by the Company, Parent, or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $182.25 (the “Per Company Share Merger Consideration”), less any applicable withholding taxes, which represented $187.50 per share of Common Stock as reduced by a $5.25 per share cash dividend paid in connection with the Closing (the “Closing Cash Dividend”) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. At the Partnership Merger Effective Time, each Partnership Unit owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time remained outstanding as a Partnership Unit of the Partnership held by the Company or the relevant subsidiary.
As a result of the completion of the Merger, an aggregate of approximately 21% of the Partnership’s issued and outstanding limited partnership interests were directly owned by Parent and certain of its affiliates (other than the Company) (the “Parent Partners”). Pursuant to a Distribution and Contribution Agreement, immediately following the completion of the Merger, the Partnership redeemed its commonall of such limited partnership units in exchange for common shares.  

the distribution (the “Redemption and Distribution”) to the Parent Partners of certain subsidiaries of the Partnership which held assets comprised of 58 properties located in California, Washington and Virginia (the “Non-Core Portfolio”). As a result of the Redemption and Distribution, the Company (directly or indirectly) owns 100% of the Partnership. Total consideration for the exchange was $1,295,217, which represents the fair values as determined between us and our Parent Partners, a related party, on the transaction date. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with this transaction. We accounted for this transaction as a non-cash equity distribution in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB and its subsidiaries, including the OP. All significant inter-company balances and transactionsConsolidated Financial Statements have been eliminatedprepared in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements are presented on an accrual basis in accordanceconformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all ofas established by the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) including modifications issued under Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals)adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
The Merger was accounted for as a business combination because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. The Parent elected to apply pushdown accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Merger has been allocated to the Company’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the Acquisition Date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Costs related to the Merger have been expensed as incurred and classified within Merger costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, totaling $37,266, $94,805, and $100,952 for the period from July 20, 2022 through September 30, 2022, the period from July 1, 2022 through July 19, 2022, and the period from January 1, 2022 through July 19, 2022, respectively. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist in determination of the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired. As used herein, the term “Predecessor” refers to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to the Acquisition Date. The term “Successor” refers to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or after the Acquisition Date.
Upon acquisition of a rental property that is accounted for as a business combination, the Company allocates the purchase price, of each acquired property based upon the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally include tangible assets, consisting of land, building, building improvements, tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, generally consisting of above-and below-market leases, in-place leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases. In estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, the Company considers information obtained about the property during its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The values of above-and below-market leases are recorded to Lease-related intangible assets, net and Lease-related intangible liabilities, net, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to rental revenue over the remaining term of the associated tenant lease. The values associated with in-place leases are recorded in Lease-related intangible assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term.
In a business combination, the initial allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary and may change upon final determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final determination must occur within one year of the acquisition date.
The Company performs the following procedures for properties it acquires:
Estimate the value of the property “as if vacant” as of the acquisition date;
Calculate the value and associated life of above and below market leases on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The difference between the contractual rental rates and the Company’s estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired);
Estimate the fair value of land acquired based upon relevant adjusted land sales comparable;
Estimate the fair value of the tenant improvements, legal expenses and leasing commissions incurred to obtain the leases and calculate the associated useful life for each;
Estimate the intangible value of the in-place leases and their associated useful lives on a tenant-by-tenant basis;
Estimate the carrying values of other assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and credit risk;
Identify the fair value of assets to be sold within one year, and
Allocate the purchase consideration of each acquired property based upon the fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Reclassifications
As a result of the Merger discussed in Note 1 and the election to apply pushdown accounting, the Company also aligned its accounting policies with that of the Parent. Accordingly, certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. As of December 31, 2021, the reclassifications represent changes to aggregation and presentation of financial information and resulted in zero change to total assets and zero change to total liabilities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative2021, it resulted in $30 and $449 changes to total revenue, $15 and $222 changes in total expenses, and $15 and $227 changes in total other income (expense), respectively. There was no change to net income as historically reported.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities in which it owns more than 50% of the results that may be expected foroutstanding voting interest unless it does not control the year ended December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included inentity. It is also the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Kpolicy to consolidate any variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the year ended December 31, 2016.  

Consolidation and equity method of accounting

We consider entities to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) when they have insufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, or the equity holders as a group do not have a controlling financial interest. A limited partnershipCompany is also generally considered a VIE if the limited partners do not participate in operating decisions. We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary, generallyas defined as havingby GAAP. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary when it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impactingimpact the economic performance of the entity, and (ii) either the obligation (or right) to absorb losses or(or receive benefits) of the rightentity that could potentially be significant.

Investments in entities in which the Company does not control but which it has the ability to receive benefits fromexercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are presented under the VIE.

We account for investmentsequity method. Investments in entities that arethe Company does not VIEs that we havecontrol and over which it does not exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. The Company’s ability to correctly assess control over but do not control, usingan entity affects the equity methodpresentation of accounting.  At September 30, 2017, we have an interest in a joint venture engagedthese investments in the developmentConsolidated Financial Statements.

Use of estimates

Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported inamounts of revenue and expenses during the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company monitors the collectability of its receivable balances including the deferred rent receivable on an ongoing basis. Tenant receivables are net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts totaling $400,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Deferred rent receivable is net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $910,000 and $916,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Financial instruments

The methodsreporting period. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions usedare required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, estimateevaluating the impairment of long-lived assets and investments, allocating the purchase price of acquired properties, determining the fair value of financial instrumentsdebt and incentive compensation. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are described below. The Company has estimated the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of market value. Accordingly, estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges. The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following is the fair value hierarchy:

·

Level 1—quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

·

Level 2—quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

·

Level 3—fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cashhistorical experience and cash equivalents and receivables. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist primarily of money market investments, are only invested in entities with an investment grade rating. Receivables are comprised of balances due from a large number of customers. Balancesvarious other factors that the Company expectsbelieves to become uncollectible are reserved for or written off. Due tobe reasonable under the short period to maturity of the Company’s cashcircumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investments in Real Estate
Property and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets and accruedimprovements, including interest and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on the consolidated balance sheetscosts capitalized during construction and development, are reasonable estimates of fair value.

Carrying values of the Company’s unsecured Credit Facility (as defined on page 15) approximate fair value. The characteristics of these financial instruments, market dataincluded in Investments in real estate, net and other comparative metrics utilized in determining these fair values are “Level 2” inputs.

Real estate facilities

Real estate facilities are recordedstated at cost. Property taxes, insurance, interest and costs essential toimprovements, excluding land, are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the development of property for its intended usestraight-line method. The estimated useful lives by asset category are capitalized during the period of development. Costs related to the renovation or improvement of the properties are capitalized. as follows:

Estimated useful life
Buildings10-40 years
Building equipment and fixtures5-10 years
Land and building improvements10-15 years
Tenant improvementsShorter of the asset's useful life or the noncancelable term of lease
Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that are expected to benefit a period greater than two years and exceed $2,000 are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. BuildingsRenovations and improvements, are depreciated usingwhich improve or extend the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from five to 30 years. Transaction costs, which include tenant improvements and lease commissions, of $1,000 or more for leases with terms greater than one year are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Transaction costs less than $1,000 or for leases of one year or less are expensed as incurred.

Property held for disposition or development

Real estate is classified as held for disposition when the asset is being marketed for sale and we expect that a sale is likely to occur in the next 12 months. Real estate is classified as held for development when it is likely that it will be developed to an alternate use and no longer used in its present form. Property held for development or disposition is not depreciated.

Intangible assets/liabilities

When we acquire facilities, an intangible asset is recorded for leases where the in-place rent is higher than market rents, and an intangible liability is recorded where the market rents are higher than the in-place rents. The amounts recorded are based upon the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of such differences over the lease term and such amounts are amortized to rental income over the respective remaining lease term.

We have no material intangible assets or liabilities for any periods presented.

Evaluation of asset impairment

We evaluate our real estate and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment each quarter. If there are indicators of impairment and we determine that the asset is not recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows to be received through the asset’s remaining life (or, if earlier, the expected disposal date), we record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value or net proceeds from expected disposal.

We evaluate our investment in our unconsolidated joint venture on a quarterly basis. We record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value, when we believe any such shortfall is other than temporary.

No impairments were recorded in any of our evaluations for any period presented herein.

Stock compensation

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as stock compensation in the Company’s consolidated statements of income based on their fair values at the beginning of the service period. See Note 11.

Accrued and other liabilities and other assets

Accrued and other liabilities consist primarily of rents prepaid by our tenants, trade payables, property tax accruals, accrued payroll and contingent loss accruals when probable and estimable. We disclose the nature of significant unaccrued losses that are reasonably possible of occurring and, if estimable, a range of exposure. Other assets, are comprised primarilycapitalized.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized with respect to contractual arrangements when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. All leases are classified as operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with the excess of cumulative rental income recognized over the cumulative rent billed for the lease term reflected as “deferred rent receivable” on our consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursements from tenants forCompany capitalizes interest costs, insurance, real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as rental income ingeneral and administrative costs of the periodpersonnel performing the applicabledevelopment, renovation and rehabilitation if such costs are incurred. Property management fees are recognized inincremental and identifiable to a specific activity to ready the period earned.

Costs incurred in acquiring tenants (primarily tenant improvements and lease commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period.

Gains from sales of real estate facilities

asset for its intended use. The Company recognizes gains from sales of real estate facilities at the time of sale using the full accrual method, provided that various criteriacapitalizes transaction costs related to the termsacquisition of the transactionsland for future development and any subsequent involvement by the Company with theoperating properties sold are met. If the criteria are not met, the Company defers the gains and recognizes them when the criteria are met or uses the installment or cost recovery methodsthat qualify as appropriate under the circumstances.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses include executive and other compensation, corporate office expenses, professional fees, acquisition transaction costs, state income taxes and other such costs that are not directly related to the operation of our real estate facilities.

Income taxes

We have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax if we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income each year, and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income.

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain income tax positions that are subject to audit only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position would ultimately be sustained assuming the relevant taxing authorities had full knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances of our positions. As of September 30, 2017, we did not recognize any tax benefits for uncertain positions.

Accounting for preferred equity issuance costs

We record issuance costs as a reduction to paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets at the time the preferred securities are issued and reflect the carrying value of the preferred equity at its redemption value. An additional allocation of income is made from the common shareholders to the preferred shareholders in the amount of

the original issuance costs, and we reclassify the redemption value from equity to liabilities when we call preferred shares for redemption.

Net income per common share

Notwithstanding the presentation of income allocations on our consolidated statements of income, net income is allocated to (a) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid, (b) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption value exceeds the related carrying value (a “Preferred Redemption Allocation”) and (c) restricted share unit holders, for non-forfeitable dividends paid adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings. The remaining net income is allocated to the common partnership units and our common shareholders, respectively, based upon the pro-rata aggregate number of units and shares outstanding.

Basic and diluted net income per common share are each calculated based upon net income allocable to common shareholders, divided by (i) in the case of basic net income per common share, weighted average common shares and (ii) in the case of diluted income per share, weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact, if dilutive, of stock compensation awards outstanding (Note 11).

The following tables set forth the calculation of the components of our basic and diluted income per share that are not reflected on the face of our consolidated statements of income, including the allocation of income to common shareholders and common partnership units, the percentage of weighted average shares and common partnership units, as well as basic and diluted weighted average shares (in thousands):

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for 2016 and in order to conform to the 2017 presentation, including reclassifying management fee income totaling $130,000 and $389,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 into “interest and other income” on our consolidated statements of income.

Recently issued accounting standards

In May 2014 and February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”s), ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “Revenue Standard”), and ASU 2016-02, Leases (the “Lease Standard”). These standards apply to substantially all of our revenue generating activities, as well as provide a model to account for the disposition of real estate facilities to non-customers, which is governed under ASU 2017-05.

The Lease Standard will direct how we account for payments from the elements of our leases that are generally fixed and determinable at the inception of the lease (“Fixed Lease Payments”) while the Revenue Standard will direct how we account for the non-lease components of our lease contracts, primarily expense reimbursements (“Non-Lease Payments”) and the accounting for the disposition of real estate facilities.

The Revenue Standard is effective on January 1, 2018, and generally requires that revenue from Non-Lease Payments be based upon the consideration expected from our tenants, and be recognized under various methods depending upon the nature of the underlying expense and the contractual reimbursement arrangement. The standard permits either the retrospective (restatement) method or cumulative effects transition method and allowed for early adoption on January 1, 2017, which we did not elect. We expect to use the cumulative effects transition method, which will result in an adjustment to our retained earnings effective January 1, 2018 for the cumulative impact of the standard as of December 31, 2017. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our accounting for our facility management fees for property management services provided to PS or the disposition of real estate facilities as our accounting policy is consistent with the provisions of the standard. Rental income from leasing arrangements is a substantial portion of our revenues and is specifically excluded from the Revenue Standard and will be governed by the Lease Standard. In conjunction with the adoption of the Lease Standard, we are currently evaluating the impact of the standard as it relates to Non-Lease Payments.

The Lease Standard is effective on January 1, 2019. The standard provides definitional guidance of what constitutes a lease, requiring lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet and making certain changes to lessor accounting. For leases in which we are the lessor, we are required to account for Fixed Lease Payments on a straight-line basis, with the expected fixed payments recognized ratably over the term of the lease. The standard also requires capitalization of only thecapitalizes incremental costs incurred in executing each particular lease, such as legal fees to draftsuccessfully originate a lease or commissions based uponthat result directly from obtaining a particular lease. Costs thatlease and would also not have been incurred regardlessif the lease had not been obtained. In assessing the amount of lease execution, such as allocateddirect and indirect costs of internal personnel,to be capitalized, allocations are not capitalized. For most leases with a term of greater than 12 months, in which we are the lessee, the present value of future lease payments will be recognizedmade based on our balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and related labiality. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining contractual payments under our ground lease agreements aggregated $282,000. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at or entered into after the beginningestimates of the earliest comparative period presentedactual amount of time spent in the financial statements on the date of initial application and allowed early adoption, which we did not elect. We do not expect that the Lease Standard will impact our accounting for Fixed Lease Payments, because our accounting policy is currently consistent with the provisions of the standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard as it relates to the capitalization of costs associated with executed leases.

Table of Contents

In August, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on the classification of certain specific cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including, but not limited to, cash distributions received from equity method investees, including unconsolidated joint ventures. The new standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and shall be applied retrospectively where practicable. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash, which requires the statements of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The new guidance also requires entities to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheets and disclose the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. each activity. The Company does not expectcapitalize any costs attributable to downtime or to unsuccessful projects.

Leasing costs that meet the adoptionrequirements for capitalization are presented as a component of this standard to haveLease-related intangible assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all other capitalized costs are included in the investment basis of the real estate assets.
Acquisition of Real Estate
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January, 2017,transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifyingassets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the Definition of a Business. Under the new guidance, a set of transferred assets and activities isacquired are not a business, whenthe Company would account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. The Company’s acquisitions of investment properties are accounted for as asset acquisitions, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is typically concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. When acquisitions are treated as asset acquisitions, the related transaction costs are capitalized.

Disposition of Real Estate
The Company assesses whether a property is considered held for sale based on the criteria in ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment (“ASC 360”). The Company generally classifies certain properties and related assets which we believe will applyand liabilities as held for sale when the sale of an asset has been duly approved by management, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyer’s due diligence period, if any, has expired and a non-refundable deposit has been received. If a property is considered held for sale, a provision for loss is recognized if the fair value of the property less the estimated cost to substantially allsell is less than its carrying amount. Depreciation and amortization expense cease once a property is considered held for sale. As of our future acquisitionsSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, zero and 12 properties were classified as held for sale, respectively.
11


The Company’s sales of real estate facilities. Previously,are generally considered to be sales to non-customers, requiring the Company to identify each distinct non-financial asset promised to the buyer. The Company determines whether the buyer obtains control of the non-financial assets, achieved through the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership of the non-financial assets.
The Company recognizes gains on the disposition of real estate when the recognition criteria have been met, generally at the time the risks and rewards and title have transferred, and we no longer have substantial continuing involvement with the real estate sold. The Company recognizes gains or losses from the disposition of real estate when known as Gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate may be impaired. When impairment indicators exist, the Company’s properties are evaluated for impairment. A property’s value is considered impaired if the sum of expected future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis) over the anticipated holding period is less than the property’s carrying value. Upon determination that an impairment exists, properties are reduced to their fair value.
The evaluation of future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on the Company’s assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and holding periods. These assumptions could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Should circumstances change, and the Company shortens the expected holding period for an asset or group of assets, an impairment loss may be recognized, and such acquisitions were consideredloss could be material. During the periods presented, no impairment was recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets Classified as Held for Sale
A property is classified as held for sale when all of the accounting criteria for a plan of sale have been met. Upon classification as held for sale, the Company recognizes an impairment charge, if necessary, to lower the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. The determination of fair value can involve significant judgments and assumptions. The Company develops key assumptions based on the contractual sales price. If this information is not available, the Company uses estimated replacement costs or estimated cash flow projections that utilize estimated discount and capitalization rates. These estimates are subject to uncertainty and therefore require significant judgment by the Company. The Company reviews all assets held for sale each reporting period to determine whether the existing carrying amounts are fully recoverable in comparison to their estimated fair values less costs to sell.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of costs incurred to execute new and renewal tenant leases, primarily costs paid to third parties. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. The amortization of deferred leasing costs is included in the line item Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company defers fees and direct costs incurred to obtain financing, which is reflected as a component of Debt, net within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective rate method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt to which they apply. Unamortized deferred financing costs are charged to interest expense when the related financing is repaid prior to its scheduled maturity date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company leases its operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. Rental revenue primarily consists of base rent arising from tenant leases and tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses related to common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs included in lease agreements.
The Company begins to recognize revenue for leases that are assumed upon the acquisition of the related property or when a business,tenant takes possession of the leased space for a new lease.
If a lease provides for tenant reimbursement of building operating expenses, the Company recognizes revenue associated with the recovery of those building operating expenses as those expenses are incurred.
12


The Company records rental revenue on a straight-line basis as it is earned during the lease term. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the lease term. Accordingly, a receivable is recorded representing the difference between the straight-line rent and transaction coststhe rent that is contractually due from the tenant over the contractual lease term. These amounts are classified as Tenant and other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When a property is acquired, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation. As a result of the election of pushdown accounting for the Merger, the Acquisition Date was used as commencement date for purposes of active leases that existed as of that date.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the share of consolidated entities owned by third parties. The Company recognizes each noncontrolling holder’s respective share of the estimated fair value of the net assets at the date of formation or acquisition. Noncontrolling interests are subsequently adjusted for the noncontrolling holder’s share of additional contributions, distributions and their share of the net earnings or losses of each respective consolidated entity. The Company allocates net income or loss to noncontrolling interests based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The net income or loss that is not attributable to the Company is reflected in the line item Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of the Acquisition Date, noncontrolling interest was stepped up to fair value as a result of pushdown accounting.
Tenant and Other Receivables
The Company provides for potentially uncollectible accounts on tenant and other receivables based on analysis of the risk of loss on specific accounts. The analysis places particular emphasis on past due accounts and considers information such as the nature and age of the receivable, the payment history of the tenant or other debtor, the financial condition of the tenant and the Company’s assessment of its ability to meet its lease obligations, the basis for any disputes, and the status of related lease negotiations.
The Company’s determination of the adequacy of its allowances for tenant receivables includes a binary assessment of whether or not the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For such amounts that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For such amounts that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash held in banks, cash on hand, and liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves for certain capital improvements, leasing, interest and real estate tax and insurance payments as required by certain debt obligations.
Income and Other Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT. This, along with the nature of the operations of its operating properties, resulted in no provision for federal income taxes at the Company level. In addition, the Partnership generally is not liable for federal income taxes as the partners recognize their allocable share of income or loss in their tax returns; therefore no provision for federal income taxes has been made at the Partnership level. The Company generally only incurs certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The Company has elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for certain of its corporate subsidiaries and, as a result, these entities will incur both federal and state income taxes on any taxable income of such acquisitions were expensed as incurred.entities after consideration of any net operating losses.
13


The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or tax returns. Under this method, the new guidance, transaction costsCompany determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes management to change its judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, is included in the tax provision when such changes occur. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will insteadnot be capitalizedrealized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes management to change its judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the tax provision when such changes occur.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax benefit or expense.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Changes in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments are marked to market through earnings each component, whichquarter and are evaluated independently.

We must make significant assumptionsreflected in Interest income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Parties to interest rate cap or swap agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. The Company does not require any collateral under these agreements but deals only with highly rated institutional counterparties and expects that they will meet their obligations.
Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of assets acquiredderivative instruments presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company classifies the inputs as follows:
Level 1—Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and liabilities assumed,model-derived valuations in which can affectall significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the recognitionprices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.
Level 3—Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis. The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and timing of revenue and depreciation and amortization expense. valuation methodologies management believes to be appropriate for these purposes. In connection with the Merger, the preferred stocks were valued using quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1).
The fair value of landthe Company’s derivatives was determined by management, based on valuation information prepared by an independent third party. Their fair value model incorporates credit risk and changes in credit risk to determine a credit valuation adjustment. This model is estimated based upon, among other considerations, comparable saleson the applicable forward curve as a reflection of landthe market’s current expectation of payments discounted at market factors. The Company classifies these valuations within the same region.Level 2 fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents
Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company makes initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to receive payments from them if interest rates exceed specified levels during the agreement period. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less. Parties to interest rate cap agreements are subject to market risk for changes in interest rates and credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. The Company does not require any collateral under these agreements but deals only with highly-rated institutional counterparties and expects that they will meet their obligations.
The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although 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 the Company and its counterparties, the Company assesses 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.
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis generally consist of real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated equity investments that were subject to impairment charges related to the Company’s change of intent to sell the investments and through its recoverability analysis. The Company estimates fair value based on expected sales prices in the market (Level 2) or by applying the income approach methodology using a discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3)
Acquired lease intangible assets: The Company estimated the fair value of buildingsits above-market and improvements,below-market in-place leases based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risk associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
In-place lease liabilities: The Company estimated the fair value of its in-place leases using independent and internal sources, which are methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and unamortized lease commissions are based on current market replacementforegone costs and other market information. The amount recorded to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of current market conditions andrent received during the estimated lease-up periodsperiod as if the space was vacant. This valuation methodology is based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its debt, net by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads currently available to the Company (Level 3).
Segment Reporting
The Company currently operates in a single reportable operating segment, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of logistics properties. There is an immaterial amount of non logistics properties that do not meet the quantitative thresholds necessary to require reporting as a separate segment. The company’s chief operation decision maker assesses, measures, and reviews the operating financial results at the consolidated level for the respective spaces.

Variable Interest Entities
The Company has equity interests in certain entities that primarily own and operate properties or hold land for development. The Company consolidates those entities that are considered to be VIEs where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company (i) evaluates the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) reviews the voting rights and decision- making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights, guaranteed returns, protection against losses, or capping of residual returns within the group and (iii) establishes whether activities within the entities are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination.
To the extent that the Company owns interests in a VIE and (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation or rights to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, then the Company would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. At each reporting period, the Company re-assesses the conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary.

On May 1, 2017, the Company disposed of Empire Commerce, a two-building single-story office park comprising 44,000 square feet, located in Dallas, Texas, for net proceeds of $2.1 million, which resulted in a net gain of $1.2 million.

On March 31, 2017, the Company sold development rights it held to build medical office buildings on land adjacent to its Westech Business Park in Silver Spring, Maryland for $6.5million. The Company had acquired the development rights as part of its 2006 acquisition of the park.

The Company has received net proceeds of $3.9 million, of which $1.5 million was receiveda 98.2% interest in prior years and $2.4 million was received in March, 2017.Brentford at The Company recordedMile, a gain of $3.9 million related to the net proceeds received through September 30, 2017, which are non-refundable. The Company will report an additional gain of $2.5million when the final proceeds are received in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the remaining contingencies have lapsed.

4. Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint venture

In 2013, the Company entered into a joint venture known as Amherst JV LLCplanned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex (the “Joint“Brentford Joint Venture”) with an. An unrelated real estate development company (the “JV Partner”) forholds the purposeremaining 1.8% interest. Based on management’s analysis of developingthe joint venture and certain related agreements, the Company determined Brentford Joint Venture is a 395-unit multi-family building onVIE because (a) Brentford Joint Venture does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, and (b) there are no substantive kick-out rights. The Company has also concluded it has control over the Brentford Joint Venture as it (a) is the managing member of the Brentford Joint Venture, (b) has designated decision making power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the Brentford Joint Venture, and (c) has a five-acre site (the “Project”) within the Company’s 628,000 square foot office park located in Tysons, Virginia (known as “The Mile”).  We hold a 95.0%98.2% economic interest in the investment. Thus, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of Brentford Joint Venture. The assets of the Brentford Joint Venture withmay only be used to settle obligations of the remaining 5.0% held byBrentford Joint Venture and the JV Partner. creditors of the Brentford Joint Venture have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Depreciation expense of investments in real estate was $61,830, $4,626 and $23,857 for the development and construction of the Project, as well as the leasing and operational management of the Project. We do not control the Joint Venture, when considering, among other factors, that the consent of our JV Partner is required for all significant decisions. Accordingly, we account for our investment using the equity method.

On  October 5, 2015 (the “Contribution Date”), the Company contributed the site and improvements to the Joint Venture. We provide the Joint Venture with a construction loan in the amount of $75.0 million bearing interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.25%. The loan will mature on April 5, 2019 with two one-year extension options.

The aggregate amount of development costs are estimated to be $105.6 million (excluding unrealized land appreciation). The Company is committed to funding $75.0 millionperiod from July 20, 2022 through the construction loan in addition to its equity contribution of $28.5 million, which includes a  land basis of $15.3 million. The Project delivered its first completed units in May, 2017, with final completion date of the overall Project expected during the fourth quarter of 2017.

We have reflected the aggregate cost of the contributed site and improvements,  our equity contributions and loan advances,  as well as capitalized third party interest we incurred as investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint venture.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The Company did not have any transfers within the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented. The Company’s Level 3 inputs are model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. In evaluating the fair value information, judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques could result in materially different fair value estimates.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities reasonably approximates fair value, in management’s judgment, because of their short-term nature.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Funding Commitments — In conjunction with the terms of the leases with certain of our tenants, the Company has commitments for tenant improvements of $1,886 on our real estate properties owned at September 30, 2022.
Concentration of Credit Risk —The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and restricted stock unitscash at various high-quality financial institutions. The consolidated account balances at each institution typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes this risk is not significant.
Environmental — As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The Company has obtained various environmental insurance policies to mitigate its exposure to environmental obligations. The Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its properties, properties that have been sold, or properties that may be received ifacquired in the four-year targetfuture.
Litigation — The Company is achieved.party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. All restricted stock unit awardsof these matters, taken together, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or of the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities — The Company may be required under capital commitments or may choose to make additional capital contributions to certain of its unconsolidated entities, representing its proportionate ownership interest, should additional capital contributions be necessary to fund development or acquisition costs, repayment of debt or operational shortfalls.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Policies and Estimates:

Our critical accounting estimates are defined as accounting estimates or assumptions made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty or subjectivity and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our significant accounting policies, which utilize these critical accounting estimates, are described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
27


Table of Contents
We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of our accounting policies in accordance with authoritative guidance. Prior to the consolidated financial statements includedMerger, our acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate were accounted for as asset acquisitions and not business combinations. The estimates used to measure the Merger accounted for as business combinations are described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believeDuring the following arethree months ended September 30, 2022, there were no other material changes to our critical accounting policies, because they have a material impact onestimates as compared to the portrayalcritical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Income Tax Expense: We have elected to be treated asAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Executive Overview
Business Overview
The Company is a REIT as defined in the Internal Revenue Codethat owns, operates, acquires and develops commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, industrial-flex, and low rise-suburban office space. As of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that is fully distributed each year (for this purpose, certain distributions paid in a subsequent year may be considered), and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income.

Our evaluation that we have met the REIT requirements could be incorrect, because compliance with the tax rules requires factual determinations, and circumstances we have not identified could result in noncompliance with the tax requirements in current or prior years. For any taxable year that we fail to qualify as a REIT and for which applicable statutory relief provisions did not apply, we would be taxed at the regular corporate rates on all of our taxable income for at least that year and the ensuing four years, we could be subject to penalties and interest, and our net income would be materially different from the amounts estimated in our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Acquired Real Estate Facilities: We estimate the fair values of the land, buildings, intangible assets and intangible liabilities for purposes of allocating the purchase price. Such estimates are based upon many assumptions and judgments, including (i) market rates of return and capitalization rates on real estate and intangible assets, (ii) building and material cost levels, (iii) comparisons of the acquired underlying land parcels to recent land transactions, (iv) estimated market rent levels and (v) future cash flows from the real estate and the existing tenant base. Others could come to materially different conclusions as to the estimated fair values, which would result in different depreciation and amortization expense, rental income, gains and losses on sale of real estate assets, and real estate and intangible assets.

20


Table of Contents

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Tenant receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments, reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes and other expenses recoverable from tenants. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount that the cumulative straight-line rental income recorded to date exceeds cash rents billed to date under the lease agreement. Determination of the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts requires significant judgments and estimates. Others could come to materially different conclusions regarding the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant unreserved bad debt losses could materially impact our net income. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The analysis of impairment of our long-lived assets involves identification of indicators of impairment, projections of future operating cash flows and estimates of fair values or selling prices, all of which require significant judgment and subjectivity. Others could come to materially different conclusions. In addition, we may not have identified all current facts and circumstances that may affect impairment. Any unidentified impairment loss, or change in conclusions, could have a material adverse impact on our net income.

Accrual for Uncertain and Contingent Liabilities: We accrue for certain contingent and other liabilities that have significant uncertain elements, such as property taxes, performance bonuses and other operating expenses, as well as other legal claims and disputes involving customers, employees, governmental agencies and other third parties. We estimate such liabilities based upon many factors such as assumptions of past and future trends and our evaluation of likely outcomes. However, the estimates of known liabilities could be incorrect or we may not be aware of all such liabilities, in which case our accrued liabilities and net income could be misstated.

Strategic Overview

Our overall operating results are impacted primarily by the performance of our existing real estate facilities, which at September 30, 2017 are comprised of 28.0 million rentable square feet of multi-tenant flex, industrial and office properties concentrated2022, the Company owned 471 buildings in six states and a 95.0% interestwith 20,659,564 rentable square feet. The Company’s properties are primarily located in 395 apartments. Accordingly, a significant degree of management attention is paid to maximizing the cash flow from our existing real estate portfolio. We also acquire properties we believe will createmajor coastal markets that have experienced long-term value, and from time to time we dispose of properties which no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives.

Existing Real Estate Facilities:economic growth.

The operating results of our existing real estate facilities are substantially influenced by demand for rental space within our properties and our markets, which impacts occupancy, rental rates, and capital expenditure requirements. We strive to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates and minimizinginvesting in capital expenditures when market conditions allow,indicate favorable return on investment, although the Company may decrease rental rates in markets where conditions require. Management’s initiatives and strategies with respect to our existing real estate facilities, which are described in more detail in our December 31, 2016 Form 10-K, include incentivizing our personnel to maximize the return on investment for each lease transaction and providingprovide a superior level of service to our customers.

Acquisitions

As a result of the Merger and the application of pushdown accounting, the periods presented are not necessarily comparable.
Development or Redevelopment of Real Estate Facilities: We also seek to grow our operations through acquisitions of facilities generally consistent with the Company’s focus on owning concentrated business parks with easily configurable space. In the third quarter of 2016,certain instances, we acquired two multi-tenant office buildings aggregating 226,000 square feet in Rockville, Maryland for a purchase price of $13.3 million. The occupancy rate has increased from 18.5% on the date of acquisition to 31.6% as of September 30, 2017. These buildings are located within The Grove 270 (formerly Shady Grove Executive Park) where we already owned three substantially fully-leased buildings aggregating 352,000 square feet. We continue to seek to acquire additional facilities in our existing markets and generally in proximity to our existing facilities; however, there can be no assurance that we will acquire additional facilities that meet our risk-adjusted return and underwriting requirements.

Development or redevelopment of real estate facilities:  We also may seek to redevelop our existing real estate. We own a large contiguous block of real estate (628,000 rentable square feetor develop new buildings on 44.5 acres of land) located within excess land parcels.

quarter of 2017. The total estimated investment upon completion, including the fair value of existing land, will be approximately $117.2 million.

While multi-family real estate is not a core asset for us, we determined that multi-family real estate represented a unique opportunity and the highest and best use of this parcel. We have partnered through a joint venture with a local developer and operator of multi-family space in order to leverage their operational experience. See “Analysis of Items Not Included in Operating Income – Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture” below and Note 4Real Estate to our consolidated financial statements for more informationConsolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

2 Estimated stabilization/in service date is defined as the Highgate Development. 

We do not consolidate the joint venture that holds the Highgate Development; accordingly, our shareearlier of net loss is reflected under “equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture.”

We have an additional 123,000 square foot office building located within The Mile that we are seeking to demolish in order to construct another multi-family complex on the parcel. This parcel is reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as land and building held for development. The scope and timing of development of this site is subject to a variety of contingencies, including approval of entitlement. We do not expect that development will commence prior to December 31, 2018.

Dispositions12 months post completion or 90% occupancy.


Sale of Real Estate Facilities: In 2014, we completed a planWe continually evaluate opportunities with respect to exit non-strategic markets in Sacramento California, Oregonour portfolio and Arizona. We do not expect to exit any additional markets. However, we may from time to time dispose ofsell individual real estate assetsfacilities and land parcels or groups of facilities and land parcels based on market conditions, fit with our existing portfolio, evaluation of long-term potential returns of markets or product types, or other reasons. On MayThe size of such sales may be significant to us. Refer to “Dispositions” in Note 3 — Investments in Real Estate to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 2017, we disposedin this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. for a summary of Empire Commerce, a two-building single-story office park comprising 44,000 square feet, located in Dallas, Texas, for net proceeds of $2.1 million, which resulted in a net gain of $1.2 million.

Factors that May ImpactAffect Our Future Results

of Operations and Financial Condition

Impact of Inflation:Although inflation Inflation has not been significant in recent years, ansignificantly increased recently and a continued increase in inflation could adversely impact our future results, including as a result of adverse impacts to our tenants and to the economy generally. The Company continues to seek ways to mitigate its potential impact. A substantial portion of the Company’s leases require tenantscustomers to pay operating expenses, including real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance, as well as increases in common area expenses, which should partially reducingreduce the Company’s exposure to inflation during each lease’s respective lease period.

inflation.

Regional Concentration:Our portfolio is concentrated in eight regions, in six states. We have chosen to concentrate in these regions because we believe they have characteristics which enable them to be competitive economically, such as above average population growth, job growth, higher education levels and personal income, which we believe will produce better overall economic returns.income. Changes in economic conditions in these regions in the future could impact our future results.

Industry and Tenant

Customer Concentrations: We seek to minimize the risk of industry or customer concentrations. No significant tenant concentrations. Asconcentrations existed as of September 30, 2017, leases2022.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the period from our top 10 tenants comprised 10.3% of our annualized rental income, with only two tenants, Kaiser Permanente (1.0%)July 20, 2022 through September 30, 2022 (Successor) and the U.S. Government (4.3%), representing more than 1%. In terms of industry concentration, 18.5% of our annualized rental income comesperiod from Business Services; 10.4% from Warehouse, Distribution, Transportation and Logistics; and 10% from Health Services. No other industry group represents more than 10% of our annualized rental income. 

Tenant credit risk: We have historically experienced a low level of write-offs of uncollectible rents, with less than 0.5% of rental income written off each year over the last six years. However, there can be no assurance that write offs may not increase, because there is inherent uncertainty in a tenant’s abilityJuly 1, 2022 through July 19, 2022 (Predecessor) compared to continue paying rent and meet its full lease obligation. As of October  23, 2017, we had 69,000 square feet of leased space occupied by four tenants that are protected by Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. From time to time, tenants contact us, requesting early termination of their lease, reductions in space leased, or rent deferment or abatement.

Table of Contents

Net Operating Income

We evaluate the performance of our business parks primarily based on Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, because we believe NOI is an important measure of the value and performance of our real estate. We believe investors utilize NOI in a similar manner and for similar reasons. NOI is defined by the Company as Adjusted Rental Income less Adjusted Cost of Operations (described below) and excludes depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization is excluded from NOI because management and investors do not consider it important in valuing real estate or evaluating real estate performance, because depreciation assumes the value of real estate declines ratably from its historical cost based upon the passage of time, while we believe the value of real estate changes based upon cash flow and other market factors.

Adjusted Rental Income represents rental income, excluding material lease buyout payments, which we believe are not reflective of ongoing rental income.

Adjusted Cost of Operations represents cost of operations, excluding LTEIP amortization, which can vary significantly period to period based upon-the performance of the whole company, rather than just property operations.

The Company’s calculation of NOI, Adjusted Rental Income and Adjusted Cost of Operations may not be comparable to those of other companies and should not be used as an alternative to performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

See “Analysis of operating income” below for reconciliations of each of these measures to their closest analogous GAAP measure on our consolidated statements of income. Adjusted Rental Income is reconciled to rental income, Adjusted Cost of Operations is reconciled to cost of operations and Net Operating Income is reconciled to operating income.

The decrease was mainlythree months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a $6.9 million Preferred Redemption Allocation,the following:
Depreciation and amortization increased by $80,980 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the step-up in basis of the real estate assets acquired and intangibles assumed in connection with the Merger (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Merger costs of $132,071 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, are comprised primarily of legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger discussed herein. These increases in expenses were partially offset by a $2.7 milliondecrease in property expenses of $7,154 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the distribution of the Company’s interest in 58 properties included in the Non-Core Portfolio (see Note 1 — Description of Business to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Other Income (Expense): Total other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, was $48,328 as compared to the total other income (expense) of $30,096 for three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the following:
Gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, was $38,221, which was related to the sale of 13 buildings. Gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $29,924, which was related to the sale of eight buildings. Refer to Note 3 — Investments in Real Estate to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.for more information regarding our dispositions.
Interest income (expense) changed from a $207 expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to a $9,874 income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, a total movement of $10,081. There was (i) an increase in NOIinterest expense on our outstanding debt of $46,619, (ii) a $7,332 realized loss during the current year period due to changes in fair value on our interest rate derivatives, and (iii) amortization of financing costs of $4,992 during the current year period. This was offset by an unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $68,993 in connection with respectthe interest rate contracts entered into during the current year period (see Note 5 — Derivative Financial Instruments to our real estate facilitiesConsolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Subsequent to the Merger, we obtained two mortgage loans and reduced preferred distributions. The increaseterminated the unsecured revolving line of credit (see Note 4 — Debt to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in NOI includes a $3.3 million increase for our Same Park facilities (see below) due primarilythis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Total revenue$77,764 $246,175 $328,308 
Revenue: Rental revenue decreased by $4,369 or $2.53 per diluted share, compared to $50.0 million or $1.84 per diluted share for the same period in 2016. The increase was due to a $10.5 million increase in NOI with respect to our real estate facilities, a reduction in interest expense due to the repayment of debt, and gains on the sale of real estate facilities and development rights. The increase in NOI includes a $12.5 million increase for our Same-Park facilities due primarily to higher realized rent per occupied square foot, offset partially by reduced NOI with respect to facilities we sold or are holding for development.

We analyze our net income in this discussion analysis in two main sections: operating income and then all other components of net income.

Analysis of Operating Income

Our operating income is comprised primarily of our real estate operations, depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expenses.  

We segregate our real estate activities into (a) same park operations, representing all operating properties acquired prior to January 1, 2015, comprising 27.8 million rentable square feet of our 28.0 million in rentable space at September 30, 2017 (the “Same Park” facilities)1.3%, (b) non-same park operations, representing those facilities we own that were acquired after January 1, 2015 (the “Non-Same Park” facilities) and (c) assets sold or held for development, representing facilities whose existing operations are no longer part of our ongoing operations, because they were sold or are expected to be developed or converted to alternate use.

Rental income increased $3.1 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to increases in adjusted rental income at the Same Park facilities, due primarily to higher annualized realized rental income per occupied square foot.

Cost of operations increased $883,000 and $522,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to increased adjusted cost of operations for the

Same Park and Non-Same Park facilities, offset partially by adjusted costs of operations from assets sold or held for development, as well as lower LTEIP amortization.

Operating income increased $4.4 million and $19.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016, due primarily to higher rental income, lower general and administrative expenses and lower depreciation expense.

See below for a discussion of depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expenses.  

Same Park Facilities

The Same Park facilities are those that we have owned and operated since January 1, 2015. We evaluate the operations of these facilities to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our portfolio in 2015, 2016 and 2017. We believe the Same Park information is used by investors and analysts in a similar manner. The following table summarizes the historical operating results of these facilities and certain statistical information related to leasing activity:

Analysis of Same Park Adjusted Rental Income

Adjusted rental income generated by the Same Park facilities increased 4.4% and 4.6% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were due primarily to increased annualized realized rental income per occupied square foot and, during the nine month period, an increase in weighted average occupancy.

We believe that high occupancies help maximize our rental income. Accordingly, we seek to maintain a weighted average occupancy over 90%.

During the first nine months of 2017, most markets continued to reflect favorable conditions allowing for stable occupancy as well as increasing rental rates. With the exception of the Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland markets, new rental rates for the Company improved over expiring rental rates on executed leases as economic conditions and tenant demand remained healthy.

Our future revenue growth will come primarily from potential increases in market rents allowing us to increase rent levels when leases are either renewed with existing tenants or re-leased to new tenants. The following table sets forth the expirations of our existing leases in place at September 30, 2017 over the next five years (dollars and square feet in thousands):

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we leased approximately 1.8 million and 5.6 million, respectively, in rentable square feet to new and existing customers, with an average increase in rental rates over the previous rates of 5.7% and 4.3%. Approximately 66.8% of our leasing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 represented renewals2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 primarily due to the distribution of leases with existing tenants. See “Analysis of Market Trends” below for further analysis of such data on a by-market basis.

We expect property taxes in the fourth quarter of 2017 to approximate the amountfollowing:
Depreciation and amortization increased by $81,412 for the third quarter of 2017. 

Utilities are dependent primarily upon energy prices and usage levels. Changes in usage levels are driven primarily by weather and temperature. Utilities decreased 1.7% and 1.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. It is difficult to estimate future utility costs, because weather, temperature and energy prices are volatile and not predictable.

Repairs and maintenance increased 10.6% and 3.1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2021, primarily due to the step-up in basis of the real estate assets acquired and intangibles assumed in connection with the Merger (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

General and administrative expenses increased by $7,210 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to the same periodsnine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a one-time cash payment of $6,734 to the former CEO in the prior year. Repairs and maintenance costs are dependent upon many factors including weather conditions, which can impact repair and maintenance needs, inflation in material and labor costs and random events, and as a result are not readily predictable. We expect to incur incremental repairs and maintenance costs with respect to Hurricane Irma during the fourthfirst quarter of 2017.

Snow removal decreased 73.4%2022, which consisted of a $6,643 cash payment for RSUs (see Note 10 — Incentive Compensation to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and a $91 cash payment for COBRA coverage reimbursement in accordance with his separation agreement.

Merger costs of $138,218 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Snow removal costs are weather dependent and therefore not predictable.

Other expenses decreased 2.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased 1.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016. These costs2022 are comprised primarily of on site and supervisory personnel, property insurancelegal and other expensesprofessional fees incurred in connection with the operation of our properties.

____________________________

(a)

Rental rate change is computed by taking the percentage difference between outgoing rents and incoming rents for leases executed during the period. Leases executed on spaces vacant for more than the preceding twelve months have been excluded.

During the first nine months of 2017, most markets continued to reflect favorable conditions allowing for stable occupancy as well as increasing rental rates. With the exception of Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland, new rental rates for the Company improved over expiring rental rates on executed leases as economic conditions and tenant demand remained healthy. Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland continue to experience soft market conditions as evidenced by continued pressure on occupancy and rental rates. Given lease expirations of 1.1 million square feet in Northern Virginia and 712,000 square feet in Suburban Maryland through December 31, 2018, the Company may continue to experience a decrease in rental income in these regions.

Non-Same Park facilities: Our Non-Same Park facilities are comprisedproperty expenses of two office buildings in Maryland, with 226,000 rentable square feet and occupancy of 31.6% at September 30, 2017 (33.9% at October 23, 2017).

Assets sold or held for development: These amounts include historical operating results with respect to properties that have been sold, and with respect to a 123,000 rentable square foot office building which is vacant and being held for future potential development into a multi-family building. We expect no further material operations for this vacant property until development is complete; as noted above, we do not expect development activity to commence until at least December 2018.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization was $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 2016. Depreciation and amortization was

$70.5 million$5,540 for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, including the successor and predecessor periods, as compared to $74.9 million for the same period in 2016. The three and nine month decreases in depreciation and amortization were due to the cost of certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses primarily represent compensation for senior executives, tax compliance, legal and costs associated with being a public company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million,  or 41.2%, and $5.0 million, or 41.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. The three month decrease was2021, primarily due to a reductionthe distribution of the Company’s interest in 58 properties included in the ongoing LTEIP amortization ($571,000Non-Core Portfolio (see Note 1 — Description of Business to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in 2017 versus $907,000 in 2016), departure of our CFO during the third quarter of 2017 and acquisition transaction costs of $328,000 incurred in 2016. The nine month decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the ongoing LTEIP amortization ($2.3 million in 2017 versus $3.8 million in 2016), departure of senior executives in 2016 and 2017 and acquisition transaction costs incurred in 2016 noted above.

Interest and Other Expense: Interest andIncome (Expense): Total other expense was $503,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $155,000 for the same period in 2016. Interest and other expense was $972,000income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, including the successor and predecessor periods, was $168,528 as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2016. The three month increase was due to higher interest capitalized in 2016 as the Highgate Development began operations in 2017, while the nine month decrease was primarily due to a repaymenttotal other income (expense) of a $250.0 million mortgage note during the second quarter of 2016.

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture: Our equity in loss of unconsolidated joint venture represents our pro rata equity$49,777 in the earnings of our 95% equity investment in the JV that owns the Highgate Development. We have agreed to provide a construction loan to the Joint Venture, maturing in April, 2019 and having two one-year extension options, of up to $75.0 million. The interest income we receive on the loan is eliminated against our equity in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an equity loss in the unconsolidated joint venture of $376,000, comprised of $600,000 in revenue, $493,000 in cost of operations, and $483,000 in depreciation expense and $758,000, comprised of $642,000 in revenue, $813,000 in cost of operations, and $587,000 in depreciation expense.

Gain on sale of real estate, facility and gain on sale of development rights: On May 1, 2017, we sold a two-building single-story office park comprising 44,000 square feet, located in Dallas, Texas,net for net proceeds of $2.1 million. On March 31, 2017, we sold development rights we had acquired in 2006 in connection with our acquisition of a business park in Silver Spring, Maryland. When all contingencies of the sale have completed, we will have

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we have recorded a combined net gain of $5.1 million2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, was $157,022, which was related to these dispositions. We expect to report an additional gain of $2.5 million when the final proceeds for the sale of 208 buildings. Gain on sale of real estate, net for the development rights are receivednine months ended September 30, 2021 was $49,117, which was related to the sale of 11 buildings.

Interest income (expense) changed from a $478 expense for the fourth quarternine months ended September 30, 2021 to a $9,318 income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, including the successor and predecessor periods, a total movement of 2017$9,796. There was (i) an increase in interest expense on our outstanding debt of $46,872, (ii) a $7,332 realized loss during the current year period due to changes in fair value on our interest rate derivatives, and (iii) amortization of financing costs of $4,992 during the remaining contingencies have lapsed.

current year period. This was offset by an unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $68,993 in connection with the interest rate contracts entered into during the current year period (see Note 5 — Derivative Financial Instruments to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Subsequent to the Merger, we obtained two mortgage loans and terminated the unsecured revolving line of credit (see Note 4 — Debt to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources
This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of cash flows for the threeCash Flows; and nine months ended September 30, 2017Note 4 — Debt, Note 5 — Derivative Financial Instruments, and 2016Note 11 — Commitments and the notesContingencies to our consolidated financial statements, which set forthConsolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the major components of our historical liquidity and capital resources. The discussion below sets forth the factors which we expect will affect our future liquidity and capital resources or which may vary substantially from historical levels.

Capital Raising Strategy: As a REIT, we generally distribute 100%

Cash Requirements:
Contractual Commitments: Our significant short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months following September 30, 2022 includes:
Interest expense: payment of our taxable income to our shareholders, which relative to a taxable C corporation, limits the amount of cash flow from operations that we can retain for investments. As a result, in order to grow our asset base, access to capital is important.

Our financial profile is characterized by strong credit metrics, including low leverage relative to our total capitalization and operating cash flows. We are a highly rated REIT, as rated by major rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Our corporate credit rating by Standard and Poors is A-, while our preferred shares are rated BBB by Standard and Poors and Baa2 by Moodys. Our credit profile and ratings enable us to effectively access both the public and private capital markets to raise capital.

In order to maintain access to capital markets, we target a minimum ratio of FFO (as defined below) to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions of 3.0 to 1.0. Fixed charges include interest expense and capitalized interest while preferred distributions include amounts paid to preferred shareholders and preferred unit holders. Foron outstanding indebtedness, including approximately $232,603 due within the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the FFO to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions coverage ratio was 5.0 to 1.0, excluding the Preferred Redemption Allocation.

We have a $250.0 million revolving Credit Facility that can be expanded to $400.0 million which expires in January, 2022. We use the Credit Facility along with bank term debt, as temporary “bridge” financing until we are able to raise longer term capital. Historically we have funded our long-term capital requirements with retained operating cash flow and proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred securities. We will select among these sources of capital based upon availability, relative cost, the impact of constraints of certain forms of capital on our operations (such as covenants), as well as the desirenext 12 months;

Development costs: funding development costs for leverage. 

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resource Analysis: We believe that our net cash provided by our operating activities will continuethree ongoing projects, including $29,564 scheduled to be sufficient to enable us to meet our ongoing requirements for debt service,funded within the next 12 months;

Funding capital expenditures for tenant improvements and distributions to our shareholders for the foreseeable future.

Asleasing commissions of $1,886;

Ground lease obligations: Our contractual payment requirements under various operating leases as of September 30, 2017, we had no balance outstanding on our Credit Facility. In the last five years, we have retained an average of $402022 are approximately $50 for 2022 and $1,372 thereafter;
Preferred stock dividends: We paid $28,740 to $50 million in operating cash flow per year. Retained operating cash flow represents cash flow provided by operating activities, less shareholder and unit holder distributions and capital expenditures. We expect to invest an additional $9.8 million with respect to the Highgate Development.

Potential future uses of capital in the next twelve months include the acquisition of additional real estate facilities, and potential future sources include the potential sale of real estate facilities.

Required Debt Repayment: As of September 30, 2017, we have no debt outstanding on our Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility does not expire until January, 2022. We are in compliance with the covenants and all other requirements of our Credit Facility.

31


Capital Expenditures: We define recurring capital expenditures as those necessary to maintain and operate our real estate at its current economic value. Nonrecurring capital improvements include property renovations and expenditures related to repositioning acquisitions. The following table sets forth our capital expenditures paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, on an aggregate and per square foot basis:

The increase in Same Park recurring capital expenditures of $6.9 million, or 29.2%, was primarily due to transaction costs related to large renewals and leasing production in the Same Park portfolio during 2017. Non-Same Park capital expenditures are related to the lease-up of a facility we acquired in Maryland in 2016.

In the last five years, our recurring capital expenditures have averaged generally between $1.10 and $1.80 per square foot, and 11.7% and 21.5% as a percentage of NOI. 

Redemption of Preferred Stock:Historically, we have reduced our cost of capital by refinancing higher coupon preferred securities with lower coupon preferred securities. During May, 2017, our 6.0% Series T preferred shares, with a par value of $350.0 million, became redeemable at par. In September, 2017, we called for a partial redemption of $220.0 million. Funds received from our 5.25% Series X preferred shares issued during September, 2017 will be used to complete this redemption on October 30, 2017.

32


At September 30, 2017, our 5.75% Series U preferred shares, with a par value of $230.0 million, were redeemable at par. Redemption of such preferred shares will depend upon many factors, including the cost of capital. None of our preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the holders.

Investment in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Venture: We expect to invest an additional $9.8 million in the Joint Venture, in order to fund completion of the Highgate Development. We do not expect any significant further investment necessary following completion.

Acquisitions of real estate facilities: We have acquired real estate facilities in the past, and we continue to seek to acquire additional real estate facilities, however, there is significant competition to acquire existing facilities and there can be no assurance as to the level of facilities we may acquire.

Development of real estate facilities: As noted above, we have an additional 123,000 building located within The Mile that we are seeking to develop into another multi-family complex. There can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any investment that may occur; however, we do not expect to incur any significant development costs on this potential project until at least December 2018.

Repurchase of Common Stock: No shares of common stock were repurchased under the board-approved common stock repurchase programstockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. As2022, including successor and predecessor periods. Dividends on preferred equity are paid when and if declared by our Board of Directors (the "Board") and accumulate if not paid (see Note 9 — Stockholders' Equity to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and

other normal recurring operating and capital expenses.
We intend to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $112,180 as of September 30, 2017, management has2022, and cash flow from operating activities. We may also satisfy our liquidity needs by:
proceeds from dispositions of properties and/or land parcels, and
our ability obtain new financings and exercise our option to extend the authorizationmaturity dates on existing financings.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for, non-recurring capital expenditures for our properties, development or redevelopment activities, principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, and payment of distributions and dividends to our equity investors. We may satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through our cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the issuance of debt and equity securities, property and/or land parcel dispositions, cash contributions from our Parent, our option to draw on available shared capacity on our existing loans or through repayment of the Parent Partner Loans.
We capitalize costs incurred in renovating, improving, and leasing our operating properties as part of Investments in real estate, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Redemption of Preferred Stock: Shares of preferred stock (other than our Series A Preferred Stock) are redeemable by the Company five years after issuance or in order to preserve its status as a REIT, but shares of preferred stock are never redeemable at the option of the holder. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a coupon rate of 12.00%, are redeemable at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to $4,000 per share plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption.
32


Our Series X preferred shares, with a coupon rate of 5.25%, at a par value of $230,000 and Series Y preferred shares, with a coupon rate of 5.20%, at a par value of $200,000 are redeemable in September 2022 and December 2022, respectively. Future redemptions of preferred stock will depend upon many factors, including available cash and our cost of capital. Refer to Note 9 — Stockholders' Equity to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our preferred stock.
As market conditions warrant, we and our majority equity holders, Blackstone and its affiliates, may from time to time seek to repurchase an additional 1,614,721 shares. However, we have no plans at this timeour preferred stock in open market or privately negotiated purchases, by tender offer or otherwise or to repurchase additional shares.

Requirement to Pay Distributions:For all periods presented herein, we have electedOur election to be treatedtaxed as a REIT, as defined inby the Code.Code, applies to all periods presented herein. As a REIT, we do not incur U.S. federal corporate income tax on our REIT“REIT taxable income (generally, net rents and gains from real property, dividends and interest)income” that is fully distributed each year (for this purpose, certain distributions paid in a subsequent year may be considered), and if we continue to meet certain organizational and operational rules.requirements. We believe we have met these requirements in all periods presented herein, and we expect towe will continue to elect and qualify as a REIT.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Board increased our quarterly dividend from $0.75 per common share to $0.85 per common share, which is an increase of $0.10 or 13.3% over the previous quarter’s distribution.

REIT in future periods.

We paid REIT qualifying distributions of $107.1 million$237,819 ($37.8 million28,740 to preferred shareholdersstockholders and $69.4 million$209,079 to common shareholders) and $102.4 million ($41.5 million to preferred shareholders and $60.9 million to common shareholders)stockholders) during the nine months ended September 30, 20172022, including successor and 2016, respectively.

Our consistent, long-term dividend policy has been to distribute our taxable income in order to maintain our REIT status. Future quarterly distributions with respect to the common shares will continue to be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements and will be funded with cash provided by operating activities.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. FFO represents net income before real estate depreciation, gains or losses from sales and impairment charges, which are excluded because they are based upon historical real estate costs and assume that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO per share represents FFO allocable to common and dilutive shares, divided by aggregate common and dilutive shares. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

We also present “Core FFO per share,” a non-GAAP measure that represents FFO per share excluding the net impact of (i) Preferred Redemption Allocation, (ii) separation settlement payments, as well as charges or reversals related to stock based compensation, due to the departure of senior executives and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items. We review Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance, and we believe it is used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO per share is not a substitute for net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

ITEM

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ToQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the Company’s exposureimpact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to marketlower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available.
With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the Company principally finances its operations and growth with permanent equity capital consistinguse of either common or preferred stock. The Company had no debt outstanding asanalytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of September 30, 2017.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarilyon our future cash flows.

We may use additional derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our properties or unsecured debt obligations. To the extent we do we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of the financial instrument that result a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit Facility,risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk to us. We will minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
As of September 30, 2022, we had $3,795,930 of outstanding floating rate debt, of which $3,592,215 is subject to interest rate cap and swap agreements, which effectively limits the interest rate risk. Our variable-rate borrowings bear interest at one month SOFR plus an applicable spread. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased by 1%, the increase in annual interest rates. See Notes 2expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and 6 tocash flows by $2,037. This estimate considers the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Reportimpact of our interest rate swap agreements and is calculated utilizing the interest rates on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the terms, valuations and approximate principal maturities of the Company’s indebtedness, including the Credit Facility. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the difference between the carrying amount ofour debt and its fair value is insignificant.

ITEM

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes toRisk Factors

For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors includeddiscussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

2021 (the “Annual Report”). In light of the Merger, we are supplementing the risk factors discussed in the Annual Report with the following risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with the risk factors contained in our Annual Report.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our significant amount of debt may subject us to increased risk of loss and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We currently have a significant amount of outstanding indebtedness, including the Mortgage Loans incurred in connection with the Merger, and, subject to market conditions and availability, we may incur a significant amount of additional debt. The type and percentage of leverage we employ will vary depending on our available capital, our ability to obtain and access financing arrangements with lenders or other debt financing sources, the type of assets we are funding, whether the financing is recourse or non-recourse, debt restrictions contained in those financing arrangements and the lenders’ and rating agencies’ estimate of the stability of our investment portfolio’s cash flow. We may significantly increase the amount of leverage we utilize at any time. In addition, we may leverage individual assets at substantially higher levels. Incurring substantial debt could subject us to many risks that, if realized, would materially and adversely affect us, including the risk that:
our cash flow from operations may be insufficient to make required payments of principal of and interest on our debt or we may fail to comply with covenants contained in our debt agreements, which is likely to result in (i) acceleration of such debt (and any other debt containing a cross-default or cross-acceleration provision) in accordance with the terms and conditions of our financing arrangements, which we then may be unable to repay from internal funds or to refinance on favorable terms, or at all, (ii) our inability to borrow undrawn amounts under our financing arrangements, even if we are current in payments on borrowings under those arrangements, which would result in a decrease in our liquidity, and/or (iii) the loss of some or all of our collateral assets to foreclosure or sale;
our debt may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions with no assurance that investment yields will increase in an amount sufficient to offset the higher financing costs;
34


we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, future business opportunities, stockholder distributions or other purposes; and
we may not be able to refinance any debt that matures prior to the maturity (or realization) of an underlying investment it was used to finance on favorable terms or at all.
There can be no assurance that our leverage strategy will be successful, and such strategy may subject us to increased risk of loss, harm our liquidity and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our secured debt agreements governing the Mortgage Loans impose, and additional lending facilities may impose, restrictive covenants, which may restrict our flexibility to determine our operating policies and investment strategy.
The documents that govern our Mortgage Loans contain, and additional lending may contain, customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants applicable to us that may restrict our flexibility to determine our operating policies and investment strategy. In particular, these agreements may require us to maintain specified minimum levels of capacity under our credit facilities and cash. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would otherwise choose, which could reduce our return on assets. If we are unable to meet these collateral obligations, our financial condition and prospects could deteriorate significantly. If we fail to meet or satisfy any of these covenants beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods pursuant to the terms of our financing arrangements, we may be in default under these agreements, and our lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their interests against existing collateral. We may also be subject to cross-default and acceleration rights in our other debt arrangements. Further, this could also make it difficult for us to satisfy the distribution requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We are controlled by Blackstone and its interests may conflict with ours or yours in the future.

Following the Merger, affiliates of Blackstone beneficially own all outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, Blackstone has significant influence with respect to our management, business plans and policies, including the election and removal of our officers and directors. Blackstone and its affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in real estate generally. In the ordinary course of their business activities, Blackstone and its affiliates may engage in activities where their interests conflict with our interests or those of our stockholders. Blackstone also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. In addition, Blackstone may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and, as a result, qualify for, and intend to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Following the Merger, affiliates of Blackstone control a majority of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that we have a board that is comprised of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the NYSE.
Following the Merger, we’ve elected to utilize all of these exemptions. In addition, because our common stock is no longer listed on the NYSE following the Merger and only shares of our preferred stock (other than our Series A Preferred Stock) remain listed, we are subject to only certain of the listing rules that would be applicable to a company with common stock listed on the NYSE. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
Various potential and actual conflicts of interest will arise, and these conflicts may not be identified or resolved in a manner favorable to us.
Blackstone has conflicts of interest, or conflicting loyalties, as a result of the numerous activities and relationships of Blackstone and its affiliates, partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors and employees, some of which are described herein. However, not all potential, apparent and actual conflicts of interest are included herein, and additional conflicts of interest could arise as a result of new activities, transactions or relationships commenced in the future. If any matter arises that we and our affiliates determine in our good faith judgment constitutes an actual and material conflict of interest, we and our affiliates will take such actions as we determine appropriate to mitigate the conflict. Transactions between us and Blackstone or its affiliates may require approval by the audit committee of our board of directors. There can be no assurance that our board of directors or Blackstone will identify or resolve all conflicts of interest in a manner that is favorable to us.
We depend on Link and its personnel for our success. We may not find a suitable replacement for Link if our Master Services Agreement is terminated, or if key personnel cease to be employed by Link or Blackstone otherwise become unavailable to us.
Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”), we have engaged Link, a portfolio company owned by Blackstone-advised investment vehicles, to provide, as applicable, corporate support services (including, without limitation, accounting, legal, tax, treasury, valuation services, information technology and data management), loan management, management services, operational services, property management and transaction support services (the “Services”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company pays Link for such services on a break-even or cost-reimbursement basis as determined in accordance with the terms of the Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Link Logistics Real Estate Management LLC, a subsidiary of Link, has been engaged by certain of our subsidiaries to perform management services with respect to our properties.
Accordingly, our success depends to a significant extent upon the efforts, experience, diligence, skill, and network of business contacts of the officers and key personnel of Link and its affiliates, as well as the persons and firms Link retains to provide services on our behalf. We can offer no assurance that Link will continue to provide such Services or that we will continue to have access to Link’s officers and key personnel. The current term of the Services Agreement extends to December 31, 2022 and may be renewed for additional one-year terms thereafter; provided, however, that the Services Agreement may be terminated at any time upon prior written notice by either Link or the Company. If the Services Agreement is terminated and no suitable replacement is found to manage us, we may not be able to execute our business plan. Furthermore, we may incur certain costs in connection with a termination of the Services Agreement.
The personnel of Link are not required to dedicate a specific portion of their time to the management of our business.
Neither Link nor any other Blackstone affiliate is obligated to dedicate any specific personnel exclusively to us, nor are they or their personnel obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, Link retains, for and on our behalf and at our expense, the services of certain other persons and firms as Link deems necessary or advisable in connection with managing our operations. Certain of these providers currently include affiliates of Blackstone and its portfolio companies and may include additional affiliates in the future. As a result, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the amount of time Link or its affiliates will dedicate to the management of our business and Link may have conflicts in allocating its time, resources and services among our business and any other investment vehicles and accounts Link (or its personnel) may manage and expenses allocable to us may increase where third parties are retained to provide services to us. Each of our officers is also an employee of Link or another Blackstone affiliate, who has now or may be expected to have significant responsibilities for other investment vehicles currently managed by Blackstone and its affiliates. Consequently, we may not receive the level of support and assistance that we otherwise might receive if we were internally managed. Link and its affiliates are not restricted from entering into other advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities.
36


We and the Blackstone Vehicles have and in the future will likely compete with or enter into transactions with existing and future private and public investment vehicles established and/or managed by Blackstone or its affiliates, which may present various conflicts of interest that restrict our ability to pursue certain investment opportunities or take other actions that are beneficial to our business and/or result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.
We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with Blackstone, including Link and its affiliates. Certain Blackstone employees serve on our board of directors. In addition, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and president are also employees of Link, a Blackstone affiliate. If any matter arises that Blackstone determines in its good faith judgment constitutes an actual and material conflict of interest, Blackstone and relevant affiliates will take the actions they determine appropriate to mitigate the conflict. There is no guarantee that the policies and procedures adopted by us, or the policies and procedures adopted by Link, Blackstone and their affiliates, will enable us to identify, adequately address or mitigate these conflicts of interest in a way that is favorable to us. Some examples of conflicts of interest that may arise by virtue of our relationship with Link and Blackstone include:
Broad and Wide-Ranging Activities. Link, Blackstone and their affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including a broad range of activities relating to investments in the real estate industry, and have invested or committed billions of dollars in capital through various investment funds, managed accounts and other vehicles affiliated with Blackstone. In the ordinary course of their business activities, Link, Blackstone and their affiliates may engage in activities where the interests of certain divisions of Blackstone and its affiliates, including Link, or the interests of their clients may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. Certain of these divisions and entities affiliated with Link have or may have an investment strategy similar to our investment strategy and therefore will likely compete with us.
Blackstone’s Policies and Procedures. Specified policies and procedures implemented by Blackstone and its affiliates, including Link, to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements and contractual restrictions may reduce the advantages across Blackstone’s and its affiliates’ various businesses that Blackstone expects to draw on for purposes of pursuing attractive investment opportunities. Because Blackstone has many different businesses, it is subject to a number of actual and potential conflicts of interest, greater regulatory oversight and more legal and contractual restrictions than that to which it would otherwise be subject if it had just one line of business. In addressing these conflicts and regulatory, legal and contractual requirements across its various businesses, Blackstone has implemented certain policies and procedures (e.g., information walls) that may reduce the benefits that Blackstone could otherwise expect to utilize for Link for purposes of identifying and managing our real estate investments. For example, Blackstone may come into possession of material non-public information with respect to companies that are clients of Blackstone or its affiliates, in which Link may be considering making an investment. As a consequence, that information, which could be of benefit to Link, might become restricted to those other businesses and otherwise be unavailable to Link, and could also restrict Link’s activities. Additionally, the terms of confidentiality or other agreements with or related to companies in which any investment vehicle of Blackstone has or has considered making an investment or which is otherwise a client of Blackstone and its affiliates may restrict or otherwise limit the ability of Blackstone or its affiliates, including Link, to engage in businesses or activities competitive with such companies.
Assignment and Sharing or Limitation of Rights. We may in the future will likely invest alongside other Blackstone Vehicles and in connection therewith have and may, for legal, tax, regulatory or other reasons which may be unrelated to us, share with or assign to such other Blackstone Vehicles certain of our rights, in whole or in part, or to limit our rights, including certain control- and/or foreclosure-related rights with respect to such shared investments and/or otherwise agree to implement certain procedures to mitigate conflicts of interest which typically involve maintaining a noncontrolling interest in any such investment and a forbearance of our rights, including certain non-economic rights (including following the vote of other third party lenders generally or otherwise being recused with respect to certain decisions, including with respect to both normal course ongoing matters (such as consent rights with respect to loan modifications in intercreditor agreements) and also defaults, foreclosures, workouts, restructurings and/or exit opportunities), subject to certain limitations. While it is expected that our participation in connection with any such investments and transactions would be negotiated by third parties on market prices, such investments and transactions will give rise to potential or actual conflicts of interest. We cannot make assurances that any such conflict will be resolved in our favor. To the extent we hold an interest in a loan or security that is different (including with respect to their relative seniority) than those held by such other Blackstone Vehicles (and vice versa), Link and its affiliates may be presented and/or may have limited or no rights with respect to decisions when the interests of the funds/vehicles are in conflict. Such sharing or assignment of rights could make it more difficult for us to protect our interests and could give rise to a conflict (which may be exacerbated in the case of financial distress) and could result in another Blackstone Vehicle exercising such rights in a way adverse to us.
37


Entering into Financing Transactions with Other Blackstone Vehicles. In connection with the closing of the Merger, in lieu of distributing all of the proceeds from the Mortgage Loans to fund the consideration for the Merger, certain amounts were loaned to the Parent Partners (the “Parent Partners Loans”). The Parent Partners Loans are evidenced by promissory notes, bear interest at 4.16253% per annum and mature in July 2027. The aggregate principal amount of the Parent Partners Loans is $1,285,575.We may from time to time engage in further financing transactions with Blackstone Vehicles. We and/or Blackstone may face conflicts of interest in connection with any borrowings or disputes related to such financing agreement(s) which may adversely impact us.
Pursuit of Differing Strategies. At times, the investment professionals employed by Link or its affiliates and other investment vehicles affiliated with Link and/or Blackstone may determine that an investment opportunity may be appropriate for only some of the accounts, clients, entities, funds and/or investment vehicles for which he or she exercises investment responsibility, or may decide that certain of the accounts, clients, entities, funds and/or investment vehicles should take differing positions with respect to a particular investment. In these cases, the investment professionals may place separate transactions for one or more accounts, clients, entities, funds and/or investment vehicles which may affect the market price of an investment or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment or benefit of one or more other accounts, clients, entities, funds and/or investment vehicles.
Underwriting, Advisory and Other Relationships.As part of its regular business, Blackstone provides a broad range of underwriting, investment banking, placement agent services and other services. In connection with selling investments by way of a public offering, a Blackstone broker-dealer may act as the managing underwriter or a member of the underwriting syndicate on a firm commitment basis and purchase securities on that basis. Blackstone may retain any commissions, remuneration, or other profits and receive compensation from such underwriting activities, which have the potential to create conflicts of interest. Blackstone may also participate in underwriting syndicates from time to time with respect to us or portfolio companies/entities of Blackstone Vehicles, or may otherwise be involved in the private placement of debt or equity securities issued by us or such portfolio companies/entities, or otherwise in arranging financings with respect thereto or advising on such transactions. Subject to applicable law, Blackstone may receive underwriting fees, placement commissions, or other compensation with respect to such activities, which will not be shared with us or our stockholders.
In the regular course of its investment banking business, Blackstone represents potential purchasers, sellers and other involved parties, including corporations, financial buyers, management, shareholders and institutions, with respect to assets that are suitable for investment by us. In such case, Blackstone’s client would typically require Blackstone to act exclusively on its behalf, thereby precluding us from acquiring such assets. Blackstone is under no obligation to decline any such engagement to make the investment opportunity available to us.
Blackstone has long-term relationships with a significant number of corporations and their senior management. In determining whether to invest in a particular transaction on our behalf, Link may consider those relationships, which may result in certain transactions that Link will not undertake on our behalf in view of such relationships.
Service Providers. Certain of our service providers, or their affiliates (including accountants, administrators, lenders, brokers, attorneys, consultants, title agents, loan servicing and administration providers, property managers and investment banking or commercial banking firms) also provide goods or services to or have business, personal or other relationships with Blackstone. For example, Blackstone may hold equity or other investments in companies or businesses in the real estate related information technology and other industries that may provide products or services to or otherwise contract with us or other Blackstone Vehicles. In connection with any such investment, Blackstone or other Blackstone Vehicles (or their respective portfolio companies/entities) may make referrals or introductions to other portfolio companies/entities in an effort, in part, to increase the customer base of such companies or businesses, and therefore the value of the investment, or because such referrals or introductions may result in financial incentives (including additional equity ownership) and/or milestones benefiting the referring or introducing party that are tied or related to participation by portfolio companies/entities. We will not share in any fees, economics or equity accruing to Blackstone or such other Blackstone Vehicles as a result of these relationships. In addition, we may enter into agreements regarding group procurement (such as a group purchasing organization), benefits management, purchase of title and/or other insurance policies (which will from time to time be pooled and discounted due to scale) from a third party or a Blackstone affiliate, and other similar operational, administrative, or management related initiatives that result in commissions, discounts or similar payments to Blackstone or its affiliates (including personnel), including related to a portion of the savings achieved. Such service providers may be sources of investment opportunities or co-investors or commercial counterparties. Such relationships may influence Link in deciding whether to select such service provider. In certain circumstances, service providers, or their affiliates, may charge different rates (including below-market rates or at
38


no cost) or have different arrangements for services provided to Blackstone or its affiliates as compared to services provided to us, which in certain circumstances may result in more favorable rates or arrangements than those payable by us.
In addition, certain advisors and service providers (including law firms) may temporarily provide their personnel to Blackstone, us or other Blackstone Vehicles or their portfolio companies pursuant to various arrangements including at cost or at no cost. While often we and such other Blackstone-advised funds and their portfolio companies are the beneficiaries of these types of arrangements, Blackstone is from time to time a beneficiary of these arrangements as well, including in circumstances where the advisor or service provider also provides services to us in the ordinary course. Such personnel may provide services in respect of multiple matters, including in respect of matters related to Blackstone, its affiliates and/or portfolio companies and any costs of such personnel may be allocated accordingly.
For example, Lexington National Land Services, or LNLS, is a Blackstone affiliate that (i) acts as a title agent in facilitating and issuing title insurance, (ii) provides title support services for title insurance underwriters and (iii) acts as escrow agent in connection with investments by us, other Blackstone Vehicles and their portfolio entities, affiliates and related parties, and third parties, including, from time to time, our borrowers. In exchange for such services LNLS earns fees which would have otherwise been paid to third parties. If LNLS is involved in a transaction in which we participate, Blackstone will benchmark the relevant costs to the extent market data is available except when LNLS is providing such services in a state where the insurance premium or escrow fee, as applicable, is regulated by the state or when LNLS is part of a syndicate of title insurance companies where the insurance premium is negotiated by other title insurance underwriters or their agents.
Gryphon Mutual Captive Insurance, or Gryphon, is a captive insurance company owned by funds and accounts managed by Blackstone. A Blackstone affiliate provides oversight and management services to the captive and receives fees based on a percentage of premiums retained by it. The fees and expenses of the captive, including fees paid to its manager, are borne by its participants (including Blackstone-managed funds and accounts) pro rata based on estimates of insurance premiums that would have been payable for each party’s respective properties, as benchmarked by third parties, and will be paid by each participant annually. Participants pool their risk through Gryphon, with a $50 million shared deductible, resulting in lower expenses than insurance procured through brokers and other traditional means. We reimburse the pro rata amount of costs and expenses incurred by Blackstone-advised funds arising out of the indirect participation (through such funds) by the Company of risk pooling through Gryphon.
Material, Non-Public Information. We, directly or through Blackstone, Link or certain of their respective affiliates may come into possession of material non-public information. Disclosure of such information to the personnel responsible for management of our business may be on a need-to-know basis only, and we may not be free to act upon any such information. Therefore, we and/or Link may not have access to material non-public information in the possession of Blackstone which might be relevant to an investment decision to be made by Link on our behalf, and Link may initiate a transaction or purchase or sell an investment which, if such information had been known to it, may not have been undertaken. Due to these restrictions, Link may not be able to initiate a transaction on our behalf that it otherwise might have initiated and may not be able to purchase or sell an investment that it otherwise might have purchased or sold, which could negatively affect our operations.
Possible Future Activities. Link and its affiliates may expand the range of services that they provide over time. Link and its affiliates will generally not be restricted in the scope of its business or in the performance of any such services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein. Link, Blackstone and their affiliates continue to develop relationships with a significant number of companies, financial sponsors and their senior managers, including relationships with clients who may hold or may have held investments similar to those intended to be made by us. These clients may themselves represent appropriate investment opportunities for us or may compete with us for investment opportunities.In addition, Blackstone may enter into one or more strategic relationships in certain regions or with respect to certain types of investments that, although intended to provide greater opportunities for us, may require us to share such opportunities or otherwise limit the amount of an opportunity we can otherwise take.
Transactions with Blackstone Vehicles. From time to time, we may enter into purchase and sale transactions with Blackstone Vehicles. Such transactions will be conducted in accordance with, our internal corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations.
39


Family Relationships. Certain personnel and other professionals of Blackstone have family members or relatives that are actively involved in the industries and sectors in which we invest and/or have business, personal, financial or other relationships with companies in the real estate industry, which gives rise to potential or actual conflicts of interest. For example, such family members or relatives might be officers, directors, personnel or owners of companies or assets which are actual or potential investments of us or our other counterparties. Moreover, in certain instances, we may transact with companies that are owned by such family members or relatives or in respect of which such family members or relatives have other involvement. In most such circumstances, we will not be precluded from undertaking any of these investment activities or transactions. To the extent Blackstone determines appropriate, it may put in place conflict mitigation strategies with respect to a particular circumstance, such as internal information barriers or recusal, disclosure or other steps determined appropriate by Blackstone or Link.
Link’s liability is limited under our Services Agreement and we have agreed to indemnify Link against certain liabilities.
Under the terms of the Services Agreement, Link and its affiliates are not liable to us for any acts or omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the Services Agreement, except by reason of (i) any acts of Link or of any its direct and indirect partners, stockholders, members, employees, agents, officers, directors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Link Related Parties”) beyond the scope of its authority under the Services Agreement, (ii) any material breach by Link under the Services Agreement, and (iii) any fraudulent or grossly negligent act or omission or any act or omission that constitutes willful misconduct of Link or the Link Related Parties. We have agreed to indemnify Link and its affiliates with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arising from acts or omissions of Link within the scope of the Services Agreement other than for (i) any acts of Link or the Link Related Parties beyond the scope of its authority under the Services Agreement, (ii) any material breach by Link under the Services Agreement, and (iii) any fraudulent or grossly negligent act or omission or any act or omission that constitutes willful misconduct of Link or the Link Related Parties. As a result, we could experience poor performance or losses for which Link would not be liable.
