NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, ~~2020~~2021

1. Organization and description of business

Organization

PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”), a Maryland corporation, was ~~incorporated~~organized in 1990. Effective May19,2021, following approval by its common and preferred stockholders, PSB reincorporated from the state of California ~~in 1990.~~ to the state of Maryland. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, PSB owned 79.0% of the common partnership units of PS Business Parks, L.P. (the “OP”). The remaining common partnership units are owned by Public Storage (“PS”). PS’s interest in the OP is referred to as the “PS OP Interests.” PSB, as the sole general partner of the OP, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in managing and controlling the OP. PSB and its subsidiaries, including the OP and ~~our~~its consolidated joint ventures, are collectively referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” PS also owns 7.2 million shares of common ~~shares~~stock and would own ~~41.6%~~41.5% (or 14.5 million shares) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock if it redeemed its common partnership units for shares of common ~~shares.~~stock.

Description of business

The Company is a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, operates, acquires and develops commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, ~~flex~~industrial-flex and low-rise suburban office space. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company owned and operated ~~27.5~~28.1 million rentable square feet of commercial space in 6 states, ~~comprised of~~comprising 97 parks and ~~672~~680 buildings. The Company also held a 95.0% interest in a joint venture entity which owns Highgate at The Mile, a 395-unit multifamily apartment complex located in Tysons, Virginia, and a 98.2% interest in a joint venture formed to develop Brentford at The Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex also located in Tysons, Virginia. The Company also manages for a fee approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet on behalf of PS.

References herein to the number of properties, parks, apartment units or square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB and its subsidiaries, including the OP and ~~our~~its consolidated joint ~~venture.~~ventures. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements are presented on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 partnership 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, generally defined as

‎

Table of Contents

having (i) the power to direct the activities most significantly impacting economic performance and (ii) either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE.

We account for investments in entities that are not VIEs that we have significant influence over, but do not control, using the equity method of accounting and for investment in entities that we control, we consolidate. We ~~consolidate~~

~~Table of Contents~~

do not consider the joint venture entity that owns Highgate at The Mile ~~and~~a VIE, but we consolidate the entity as the Company has control over the joint venture. See Note 3 for more information relating to this joint venture arrangement.

We have a 98.2% interest in Brentford at The Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex (the “Brentford Joint Venture”). An unrelated real estate development company (the “JV Partner”) holds the remaining 1.8% interest. Based on management’s analysis of the joint venture and certain related agreements, we have concluded we have control over the Brentford Joint Venture as we (a) are the managing member of the Brentford Joint Venture, (b) have designated decision making power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the Brentford Joint Venture, and (c) have a 98.2% economic interest in the investment. Thus, we determined the Brentford Joint Venture is ~~developing~~a VIE, and that we are the primary beneficiary. As such, we consolidate the Brentford atJoint Venture, and the related land and development costs of $46.5 million and $15.1 million were included in land and building held for development, net on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The ~~Mile.~~assets of the Brentford Joint Venture may only be used to settle obligations of the Brentford Joint Venture and the creditors of the Brentford Joint Venture have no recourse to the general credit of the Company. See Note ~~3 and~~ 4 for more information relating to ~~these~~this joint venture ~~arrangements.~~arrangement.

PS, the sole limited partner in the OP, has no power to direct the activities of the OP. ~~We are~~PSB is the primary beneficiary and has control over the OP as it has the exclusive responsibility under the Operating Partnership Agreement to manage and conduct the business of the OP. Accordingly, we consider the OP a VIE and consolidate it. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by the OP.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests represent (i) PS’s noncontrolling interest in the OP through its ownership of 7,305,355 common partnership units, (ii) ~~a third-party~~the JV Partner’s 5.0% interest in our consolidated joint venture that owns Highgate at The Mile, ~~a 395-unit multifamily apartment complex,~~ and (iii) athe JV Partner’s 1.8% interest in our consolidated joint venture formed to develop Brentford at The ~~Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex.~~Mile. See Note 7 for further information on noncontrolling interests.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments 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:

‎

Table of Contents

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 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 various customers. Balances that the Company expects to become uncollectible are written off. Due to the short period to maturity of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value.

Carrying values of the Company’s Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6) approximate fair value. The characteristics of ~~these financial instruments,~~the Credit Facility, market data and other comparative metrics utilized in determining these fair values are “Level 2” inputs.

Real estate facilities

Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. Property taxes, insurance, interest and costs essential to the development of property for its intended use are capitalized during the period of development. Direct costs related to the renovation or improvement of the properties are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that are expected to provide benefit for a period greater than two years are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life. Buildings and improvements are depreciated using 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, for leases with terms greater than one year are capitalized and depreciated over ~~their estimated useful lives.~~the corresponding lease term.

‎

Table of Contents

Property held for sale or development

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

Intangible assets/liabilities

When we acquire real estate facilities, an intangible asset is recorded in other assets for leases where the in-place rent is higher than market rents, and an intangible liability is recorded in other liabilities 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. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the value of above-market in-place rents resulted in net intangible assets of $0.8 million, net of ~~$10.9~~$11.5 million of accumulated amortization, and the value of below-market in-place rents resulted in net intangible liabilities of ~~$1.8~~$2.8 million, net of ~~$12.0~~$12.8 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the value of above-market in-place rents resulted in net intangible assets of $1.2 million, net of ~~$10.6~~$11.1 million of accumulated amortization, and the value of below-market in-place rents resulted in net intangible liabilities of ~~$2.4~~$2.2 million, net of ~~$11.4~~$12.2 million of accumulated amortization.

~~Table of Contents~~

Additionally, when we acquire real estate facilities, the value of in-place ~~leases~~lease intangible (i.e., customer lease-up costs) is recorded in other assets and is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the respective remaining lease term. As of September 30, 2021, the value of acquired in-place lease intangible resulted in net intangible assets of $6.4 million, net of $9.4 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2020, the value of acquired in-place leases resulted in net intangible assets of ~~$3.5~~$5.3 million, net of ~~$6.5 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2019, the value of acquired in-place leases resulted in net intangible assets of $5.7 million, net of $4.1~~$7.2 million of accumulated amortization.

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the value of our right-of-use (“ROU”) assets relating to our existing ground lease arrangements, ~~and the related liability,~~ included in ~~“other assets”~~“other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets and the corresponding liability included under ~~“accrued~~“accrued and other liabilities,” was $~~1.5~~$1.4 million, net of ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the value of our ROU assets and related liability relating to our ground lease arrangements was $~~1.6~~$1.5 million, net of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million of accumulated amortization. ~~These~~The ground leases expire in 2029 and 2030 and do not have options to extend. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the remaining lease terms were ~~9.0~~8.0 years and ~~9.3~~8.3 years. Lease expense for these ground leases is recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred, and the monthly lease amount for these operating leases is constant and without contractual increases throughout the remaining terms.

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 carrying value of the asset is not recoverable from estimated 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 expected net proceeds from ~~expected~~ disposal.

NaN impairment charges were recorded in any period presented herein.

Stock compensation

Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as stock compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income based on their grant date fair values, except for performance-based grants, which are accounted for based on their fair values at the beginning of the service period. See Note 11.

‎

Table of Contents

Accrued and other liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities consist primarily of rents prepaid by our customers, trade payables, property tax accruals, accrued payroll and contingent loss accruals when probable and estimable, as well as the intangible liabilities discussed above. We disclose the nature of significant ~~unaccrued~~ losses not accrued that are reasonably possible of occurring and, if estimable, a range of exposure. The fair value of accrued and other liabilities approximate book value due to the short period until settlement.

Other assets

Other assets are comprised primarily of prepaid expenses, as well as the intangible assets discussed above.

Revenue recognition

We recognize the aggregate rent to be collected (including the impact of escalators and concessions) under leases ratably throughout the non-cancellable lease term on a “straight-line” basis, commencing when the customer takes control of the leased space. Cumulative straight-line rent recognized in excess of amounts billed per the lease term is presented as “deferred rent receivable” on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company presents reimbursements from customers for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses under a single lease component presentation as the timing and pattern of transfer of such reimbursements are the same as base rent, and the combined single component of such leases are classified as operating leases. Accordingly, the Company recognizes such variable

~~Table of Contents~~

lease payments resulting from the reimbursements from customers for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses as rental income in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Property management fees are recognized in the period earned as other income.

The Company monitors the collectability of its receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, on an ongoing basis. The Company writes off uncollectible customer receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, as a reduction to rental income in the period such balances are no longer probable of being collected. Therefore, recognition of rental income is limited to the lesser of the amount of cash collected or rental income reflected on a “straight-line” basis, plus any accruable variable lease payments for those customer receivable ~~balances deemed uncollectible.~~balances. The Company wrote-off accounts receivable, net of recoveries, and deferred rent receivable of ~~$0.3~~$0.0 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, and ~~$1.5~~$0.0 million and ~~$2.7~~$0.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company recognized revenue from ~~our~~its lease arrangements aggregating to ~~$103.8~~$110.4 million and ~~$108.1~~$103.8 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$310.5~~$327.9 million and ~~$323.7~~$310.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. This revenue consisted primarily of rental income from operating leases and the related variable lease payments resulting from reimbursements of property operating expenses. Base rental income was ~~$79.4~~$83.6 million and ~~$84.1~~$79.4 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$238.3~~$249.4 million and ~~$250.7~~$238.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Variable lease payments, consisting primarily of reimbursement of property operating expenses, were ~~$24.4~~$26.8 million and ~~$24.0~~$24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, and ~~$72.2~~$78.4 million and ~~$73.0~~$72.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting ~~Standard~~Standards Board issued a Staff Question-and-Answer ("(“Lease Modification Q~~&A"~~&A”) to respond to frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, an entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession contained a lease modification which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if a lease concession was an enforceable right or obligation that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Lease Modification Q&A provides that, to the extent that cash flow after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the cash flow previously required by the existing lease, an entity is not required to evaluate each contract to determine whether a concession provided by a lessor to a lessee in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification. Instead, an entity can account for such lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or (ii) as a lease modification. Based on the Lease Modification Q&A, an entity is not required to account for all lease

Table of Contents

concessions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic under one elected option; however, the entity is required to apply the elected option consistently to leases with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances.

In accordance with the Lease Modification Q&A, the Company has elected to account for lease concessions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a lease modification asif the cash flow after these lease concessions is substantially the same, or less than, the cash flow previously required by the existing lease. The Company records rent deferrals and rent abatements in deferred rent receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and will recognize these amounts over the remainder of the respective lease terms. For lease concessions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that modified the terms and substantially changed the underlying cash flow of the existing lease for the remaining term, the Company also accounts for such ~~concession~~concessions as a lease modification.

~~As a result~~During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company agreed to defer $0.1 million and abate $0.1 million of billed rental income, which was significantly lower than the $1.7 million of rent deferrals and $0.3 million of rent abatements granted at the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~through~~during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021, the Company granted $0.4 million of rent deferrals and $0.3 million of rent abatements. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into rent relief agreements ~~with 388 customers (representing 11.0%~~consisting of ~~total customers based on rental income). The Company agreed to defer $1.7 million and abate $0.3~~$6.1 million of ~~billed rental income during the three months ended~~rent deferrals and $1.6 million of rent abatements. As of September 30, ~~2020, and defer $5.5 million and abate $1.2~~2021, the 340 current customers that received rent relief account for 9.6% of rental income. Also as of September 30, 2021, the Company had collected $4.5 million of ~~billed rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of October 26, 2020,~~rent deferral repayment, representing 99.9% of the ~~$5.5 million of COVID-19 related rent deferrals, the Company collected $1.3 million, or 98.3%, of~~amounts scheduled ~~repayments billed~~to be repaid through September ~~30, 2020.~~2021. The duration and severity of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy are uncertain and are likely to ~~directly~~ impact collectability of certain ~~customers~~customers’ rent receivable balances in the future. The Company has taken into account the current financial condition of its tenants, including consideration of COVID-19 impacts, in its estimation of its

Sales of real estate facilities

Sales of real estate facilities are not part of our ordinary activities, and as a result, we consider such sales as contracts with non-customers. We recognize sales of real estate when we have collected payment and the attributes of ownership, such as possession and control of the asset, have been transferred to the buyer. If a contract for sale includes obligations to provide goods or services to the buyer, an allocated portion of the contract price is recognized as revenue as the related goods or services are transferred to the buyer.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expense includes executive and other compensation, corporate office expenses, professional fees, 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 U.S. federal corporate income tax if we distribute ~~substantially~~ all of our “REIT taxable income” each year, and if we meet certain organizational and operational requirements. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded 0 U.S. federal corporate 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, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we did 0t recognize any tax benefit for uncertain tax positions.

Accounting for preferred equity issuance costs

We record preferred equity 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~~stockholders to the preferred ~~shareholders~~stockholders in the amount of the original issuance costs, and we reclassify the redemption value from equity to liabilities, when we call preferred ~~shares~~stock for redemption, with such liabilities relieved once the preferred ~~shares are~~stock is redeemed.

Net income per share of common ~~share~~stock

Notwithstanding the presentation of income allocations on our consolidated statements of income, net income is allocated to (a) preferred ~~shareholders,~~stockholders, for distributions paid or payable, (b) preferred ~~shareholders,~~stockholders, to the extent redemption value exceeds the related carrying value, (c) our joint venture partner in proportion to ~~their~~its percentage interest in the joint ventures, to the extent the consolidated joint ventures produce net income or loss during the period and (d) restricted stock unit (“RSU”) 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,~~stockholders, respectively, based upon the pro-rata aggregate number of units and ~~shares~~stock outstanding.

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

Segment reporting

The Company has 2 operating segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of commercial real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate,

but has only 1 reportable segment as the multifamily segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds necessary to require reporting as a separate segment.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for ~~2019~~2020 in order to conform to the ~~2020~~2021 presentation, including reclassifying assets held for sale or sold during ~~2020~~2021 from “real estate facilities, at cost” ~~totaling $3.8~~of $70.0 million and “land and building held for development, net” of $5.1 million as of December 31, ~~2019~~2020 into “properties held for sale, net” of $75.1 million on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we combined all non-cash rental income items into “straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles, net” within the operating activities section of our consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented herein.

The purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to land, buildings and improvements (including tenant improvements, ~~unamortized lease commissions, acquired in-place lease values~~ and ~~customer relationships, if any),~~ intangible assets and intangible liabilities (see Note 2), based upon the relative fair value of each component, which are evaluated independently.

The Company must make significant assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which can affect the recognition and timing of revenue and depreciation and amortization expense. The fair value

of land is estimated based upon, among other considerations, comparable sales of land within the same region. The fair value of buildings and improvements is determined using a combination of the income and replacement cost approaches which both utilize available market information relevant to the acquired property. The fair value of other acquired assets including tenant improvements and unamortized lease commissions are determined using the replacement cost approach. The amount recorded to acquired in-place ~~leases~~lease intangible is also determined utilizing the income approach using market assumptions which are based on management’s assessment of current market conditions and the estimated lease-up periods for the respective spaces. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized.

11. Stock compensation

Under various share-based compensation plans, PSB grants non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common ~~shares~~stock at a price not less than fair value on the date of grant, as well as RSUs, to certain directors, officers and key employees.

The service period for stock options and RSUs begins when (i) the Company and the recipient reach a mutual understanding of the key terms of the award, (ii) the award has been authorized, (iii) the recipient is affected by changes in the market price of our stock and (iv) it is probable that any performance conditions will be met, and ends when the stock options or RSUs vest.

We account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur by reversing previously amortized share-based compensation expense with respect to grants that are forfeited in the period the employee terminates employment.

We amortize the fair value of awards starting at the beginning of the service period as compensation expense. For awards that are earned solely upon the passage of time and continued service, the entire cost of the award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with performance conditions, the individual cost of each vesting is amortized separately over each individual service period (the “accelerated attribution” method).

In ~~August 2020,~~connection with the ~~Company announced that Maria Hawthorne was retiring from her role as~~appointment of our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) effective April 5, 2021, the Company granted a one-time RSU sign-on award with a grant date fair value of $3.7 million and a retention RSU award with a grant date fair value of $2.9 million. These RSUs will vest ratably over five years.

Effective September 1, 2020, Maria Hawthorne retired from her role as President and ~~would continue~~CEO and continues to serve as a ~~Director~~director of the Company. Due to Ms. Hawthorne’s continued service as a ~~Director~~director of the Company, her unvested stock ~~option~~options and restricted stock units will continue to vest on their original vesting schedule in accordance with the Company’s 2012 Equity and Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plan and related award agreements. For financial reporting purposes, the end of the service periods for these stock option and restricted stock unit grants have changed from the various respective vesting dates to September 1, 2020, the date of her retirement as President and CEO. Accordingly, all remaining stock compensation expense for Ms. Hawthorne, which totaled $1.7 million, was amortized and included in general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur by reversing previously amortized share-based compensation expense with respect to unvested grants that are forfeited in the period the employee terminates employment.

Table of Contents

Stock Options

Stock options expire 10 years after the grant date and the exercise price is equal to the closing trading price of our common ~~shares~~stock on the grant date. Stock option holders cannot require the Company to settle their award in cash. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of our stock options on the date of grant.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we recorded $0.1 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.5 million, respectively, in compensation expense related to stock options as compared to $0.1 million and ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million for the same periods in ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020, 18,000~~2021, 28,000 stock options were granted, ~~4,136~~14,478 options were exercised and 0 options were forfeited. A total of ~~171,694~~185,216 and ~~157,830~~171,694 options were outstanding at September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs granted prior to 2016 are subject to a six-year vesting, with 20% vesting after year two, and 20% vesting after each of the next four years. RSUs granted during and subsequent to 2016 are subject to a five-year vesting at the rate of 20% per year or a three-year vesting at the rate of one-third per year. ~~The grantee receives~~Grantees receive dividends for each outstanding RSU equal to the per share dividend received by common ~~shareholders.~~stockholders, which are recorded in paid-in capital. We expense any dividends previously paid upon forfeiture of the related RSU. Upon vesting, the grantee receives shares of common ~~shares~~stock equal to the number of vested RSUs, less shares of common ~~shares~~stock withheld in exchange for tax withholdings made by the Company to satisfy the grantee’s statutory tax liabilities arising from the vesting. The fair value of our RSUs is determined based upon the applicable closing trading price of our common ~~shares~~stock on the date of grant.

In March 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved an annual performance-based equity incentive ~~plan~~program (“~~2020~~Annual Equity Incentive Program”). under the Company’s 2012 Equity and Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plan. Under the ~~Program,~~program, certain employees will be eligible on an annual basis to receive RSUs ~~subject to~~based on the Company’s achievement of pre-established ~~performance metrics based on~~targets for (i) growth in ~~(i)~~ net asset value per share, and (ii) ~~Total Shareholder Value,~~stockholder value creation, each as computed pursuant to the terms of the ~~2020~~Annual Equity Incentive Program. In the event the pre-established targets are achieved, eligible employees will receive the target award, except that the Compensation Committee of the Board may adjust the actual award to 75% to 125% of the target award based on ~~the their~~its assessment of whether certain strategic and operational goals were accomplished in the performance period. RSUs ~~related to~~awarded under the ~~2020~~Annual Equity Incentive Program for the 2021 performance year will be awarded on or around March 1, ~~of the subsequent year. RSUs awarded under the 2020 Incentive Program~~2022 and will vest in 5 equal installments, with the first installment vesting on the award date. RSU holders will earn dividend equivalent rights during the vesting period.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, management determined that it was not probable that the targets under the 2020 Incentive Program would be met due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, as such, the Company did not record stock compensation expense related to the 2020 Incentive Program.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, we recorded ~~$2.2~~$1.9 million and ~~$3.5~~$5.1 million in compensation expense related to RSUs as compared to ~~$0.8~~$2.2 million and ~~$2.5~~$3.5 million for the same periods in ~~2019.~~2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020, 100~~2021, 74,435 RSUs were granted, ~~70,576~~57,063 RSUs vested and ~~1,920~~17,110 RSUs were forfeited. Tax withholdings totaling $3.7 million were made on behalf of employees in exchange for 23,935 shares of common stock withheld upon vesting for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulting in the issuance of 33,128 shares of common stock. Tax withholdings totaling $4.1 million were made on behalf of employees in exchange for 28,877 shares of common ~~shares~~stock withheld upon vesting for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulting in the issuance of 41,699 shares of common ~~shares. Tax withholdings totaling $6.1 million~~stock. A total of 121,770 and 121,508 RSUs were ~~made on behalf of employees in exchange for 38,961 common shares withheld upon vesting for~~outstanding at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements: Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: (i) the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and our customers; (ii) changes in general economic and business conditions, including as a result of the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic; (iii) potential regulatory actions to close our facilities or limit our ability to evict delinquent customers; (iv) decreases in rental rates or increases in vacancy rates/failure to renew or replace expiring leases; (v) tenant defaults; (vi) the effect of the recent credit and financial market conditions; (vii) our failure to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (viii) the economic health of our customers; (ix) increases in operating costs; (x) casualties to our properties not covered by insurance; (xi) the availability and cost of capital; (xii) increases in interest rates and its effect on our stock price; (xiii) security breaches, including ransomware, or a failure of our networks, systems or technology which could adversely impact our operations or our business, customer and ~~(xiii)~~employee relationships or result in fraudulent payments; (xiv) the impact of inflation; and (xv) other factors discussed under the heading “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Moreover, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We believe our critical accounting policies relate to income tax expense, accounting for acquired real estate facilities, accounting for customer receivable balances including deferred rent receivable balances, impairment of long-lived assets, and accrual for uncertain and contingent liabilities, each of which are more fully discussed below.

Income Tax Expense: We have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Code. As a REIT, we do not incur U.S. federal corporate 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 requirements. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no U.S. federal corporate 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 shown in our consolidated financial statements.

‎

Table of Contents

Accounting for Acquired Real Estate Facilities: We estimate the fair value of land, buildings, intangible assets and intangible liabilities for purposes of allocating purchase price. Such estimates, which are determined with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists where appropriate, are based upon many assumptions and judgments, including, but not limited to, (i) market rates of return and capitalization rates on real estate and intangible assets, (ii) building and material cost levels, (iii) estimated market rent levels, (iv) future revenue growth rates, (v) future cash flows from the real estate and the existing customer base and (vi) comparisons of the acquired underlying land parcels to recent land transactions. Others could come to materially different conclusions as to the estimated fair values, which could result in different depreciation and amortization expense, rental income, gains and losses on sale of real estate assets, and real estate and intangible assets.

~~Table of Contents~~

Accounting for Customer Receivable Balances, including Deferred Rent Receivable Balances: Customer receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments, reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes and other expenses recoverable from customers. Deferred rent receivables represent the amount that the cumulative straight-line rental income recorded toas of a reporting date exceeds cash rents billed tothrough that same date under the lease agreement, inclusive of rent deferrals and rent abatements granted to our customers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company writes off uncollectible customer receivable balances, including deferred rent receivable balances, in the period such receivable balances are deemed uncollectible. Significant 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 past 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 materially different.

Business Overview

~~Our overall operating results are impacted by the performance~~The Company is a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed REIT that owns, operates, acquires and develops commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, industrial-flex, and low rise-suburban office space. As of ~~our existing real estate facilities, which at~~ September 30, ~~2020 were comprised of 27.5~~2021, the Company owned and operated 28.1 million rentable square feet of ~~primarily multi-tenant industrial, flex and office properties concentrated~~commercial space in six states ~~and a 95.0% interest in a 395-unit multifamily apartment complex. Our portfolio of multi-tenant commercial properties is comprised~~consisting of 97 parks and ~~672 buildings~~680 buildings. The Company’s properties are primarily located in major coastal markets that have experienced long-term economic ~~growth with~~growth. The Company also held a ~~particular concentration on small-~~95.0% interest in a joint venture entity which owns Highgate at The Mile, a 395-unit multifamily apartment complex located in Tysons, Virginia, and ~~medium-size customers. Accordingly,~~ a ~~significant degree of management attention is paid~~98.2% interest in a joint venture formed to ~~maximizing the cash flow from our existing real estate portfolio. Also, our~~develop Brentford at The Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex also located in Tysons, Virginia.

We have a strong and conservative capital structure which allows us the flexibility to use debt and equity capital prudently to fund our growth ~~which allows us to~~initiatives, including ~~acquire~~acquiring and developing properties we believe will create long-term value. From time to time we sell properties which no longer fit the Company’s strategic objectives.

Existing Real Estate Facilities: 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 minimizing capital expenditures when market conditions allow, 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 include incentivizing our personnel to maximize the return on investment for each lease transaction and provide a superior level of service to our customers, are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Acquisitions of Real Estate Facilities: We seek to grow our portfolio through acquisitions of facilities generally consistent with the Company’s focus on owning concentrated business parks with ~~easily configurable~~easy to configure space and in markets and product types with favorable long-term return potential.

~~Subsequent~~On September 1, 2021, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial business park comprising approximately 718,000 rentable square feet in Grapevine, Texas, for a total purchase price of $123.3 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. The park consists of 15 buildings and was 96.1% occupied at acquisition with suites ranging from 2,000 to ~~September 30,~~20,000 square feet.

On September 5, 2019, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial park comprised of approximately 543,000 rentable square feet in Santa Fe Springs, California, for a total purchase price of $104.3 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. The park consists of ten buildings and was 100.0% occupied at acquisition with suites ranging from 5,000 to 288,000 square feet.

On April 18, 2019, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial park comprised of approximately 74,000 rentable square feet in Signal Hill, California, for a total purchase price of $13.8 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. The park consists of eight buildings and was 98.4% occupied at acquisition with suites ranging from 1,200 to 8,000 square feet.

We continue to seek to acquire additional properties in our existing markets and generally in close proximity to our existing portfolio; 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:In certain instances, we may seek to redevelop our existing real ~~estate. As of~~estate or develop new buildings on excess land parcels.

The asset was placed into service on March 1, 2021 and accordingly was reflected under ~~land and building held for development, net~~real estate facilities, at cost on our consolidated balance ~~sheets. This construction project is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.~~sheets at September 30, 2021.

The Mile ~~a 628,000 square foot~~is an office and multifamily park ~~that~~ we own which sits on 44.5 contiguous acres of land located in Tysons, Virginia. ~~In 2017,~~The park consists of 628,000 square feet of office space and a 395-unit multifamily apartment community we ~~completed~~developed, Highgate at The Mile, ~~a 395-unit multifamily apartment complex,~~which we completed in 2017 through a joint venture with the JV Partner. In 2019, we successfully rezoned ~~the remainder of~~ The Mile allowing us to develop, at our election, up to 3,000 additional multifamily units and approximately 500,000 square feet of other commercial uses.

In August 2020, the Company entered into the Brentford Joint Venture with the JV Partner for the purpose of developing Brentford at The Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex. Under the Brentford Joint Venture agreement, the Company has a 98.2% controlling interest and is the managing member with the JV Partner holding the remaining 1.8% limited partnership interest. We contributed the Brentford Parcel to the Brentford Joint Venture at a value of $18.5 million, for which we received equity contribution credit in the Brentford Joint Venture. Our cost basis in the Brentford Parcel was ~~$5.4~~$5.1 million as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Construction of Brentford at The Mile commenced in August 2020 and is anticipated to be completed over a period of 24 to 36 months at an estimated development cost of $110 million to $115 million, excluding land cost. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the development cost incurred was ~~$5.5~~$41.4 million, ~~inclusive of our $5.4 million cost basis in the Brentford Parcel,~~ which is reflected in land and building held for development, net on our consolidated balance ~~sheets. During~~sheets along with our $5.1 million cost basis in the ~~three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company also recorded non-capitalizable demolition costs of $0.3 million in interest and other expense on our consolidated statements of income.~~Brentford Parcel.

While multifamily real estate was not previously a core asset class for us, we determined that multifamily real estate ~~represented~~represents a unique opportunity and the highest and best use of the Brentford Parcel. Through joint ventures we have partnered with a local developer and operator of multifamily properties in order to leverage their development and operational ~~experience.~~expertise. The scope and timing of the future phases of development of The Mile are subject to a variety of ~~contingencies,~~uncertainties, including site plan approvals and building permits.

Sales of Real Estate Facilities: We may from time to time sell individual real estate facilities based on market conditions, fit with our existing portfolio, evaluation of long-term potential returns of markets or product types, or other reasons.

On September 17, 2021, the Company sold a 22,000 square foot industrial-flex building located in Irving, Texas, for net sale proceeds of $3.4 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $2.9 million.

On July 16, 2021, the Company sold a 244,000 square foot office business park located in Herndon, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $40.5 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $27.0 million.

On June 17, 2021, the Company sold a 198,000 square foot office-oriented flex business park located in Chantilly, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $32.6 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.2 million.

On September 16, 2020, the Company sold two industrial buildings totaling 40,000 square feet located in Redmond, Washington, which were subject to an eminent domain process for net sale proceeds of $11.4 million and resulted in a gain of $7.7 million. ~~During 2020, the Company reclassified these two buildings as properties held for sale, net, in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.~~

On January 7, 2020, the Company completed the sale of a single-tenant building totaling 113,000 square feet in ~~Montgomery County,~~Rockville, Maryland, for net sale proceeds of $29.3 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.6 million. ~~This property was classified as held~~

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company sold a 371,000 square foot industrial-flex business park located in San Diego, California (“Lusk Sale”), for a gross sales price of $315.4 million, and net sale asproceeds, after payment of ~~December 31, 2019.~~transaction costs, were $311.1 million.

Certain Factors that May Impact Future Results

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic: ~~During the second and third quarters of~~Starting in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in cessation, severe curtailment, or impairment of business activities in most sectors of the economy in ~~virtually~~ all markets we operate in, due to governmental “stay at home” orders, risk mitigation procedures, and closure of businesses not considered to be “essential.” This resulted in a rapid and dramatic increase in unemployment in the U.S. in the second and third quarter of 2020, with only a partial recovery by September 30, 2021. Since it remains unknown at this time how long the COVID-19 pandemic will continue, particularly given the impact of variants such as the Delta variant, we cannot estimate how long these negative economic impacts will persist.

~~The COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe negative impact on many of our customers’ businesses.~~ During the three months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company granted $0.1 million rent deferral and $0.1 million of rent abatement compared to the $1.7 million of rent ~~deferrals~~deferral and $0.3 million of rent ~~abatements. Through~~abatement granted for the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company ~~had~~ granted $0.4 million of rent ~~relief to 388 customers (representing 11.0%~~deferral and $0.3 million of ~~total customers based on rental income), including~~rent abatement which was significantly lower than the $5.5 million of rent deferrals and $1.2 million of rent abatements. The Company also wrote off accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, forabatements granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

It is possible that additional rent relief requests will arise in future months as a result of continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related responses from state and local governments, however the timing and magnitude of such future requests cannot

be easily predicted due to the inherent uncertainty of the virus and its varying regional effects. All rent relief requests to date have been, and all future rent relief requests are expected to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. To the extent we grant additional requests for rent abatement, or to the extent that our customers default on their lease obligations, it will have a negative effect on our future rental income and net income.

Our ability to re-lease space as leases expire in a way that minimizes vacancy periods and maximizes market rental rates will depend upon market conditions in the specific submarkets in which each of our properties are located. Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s future ability to grow or maintain existing occupancy levels, possible decreases in rental rates on new and renewal transactions, and the potential negative effect of additional rent deferrals, rent abatements, and customer defaults, we believe in some instances the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to ~~adversely affect our Same Park~~have adverse effects on rental income for ~~the remainder of 2020.~~2021 and possibly beyond.

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. Changes in economic conditions in these regions in the future could impact our future results.

Industry and Customer Concentrations: We seek to minimize the risk of industry or customer concentrations. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, excluding assets held for sale, leases from our top 10 customers comprised ~~10.1%~~10.0% of our annualized rental income, with ~~three~~only four customers – the U.S. Government ~~(3.2%~~(2.6%), Amazon Inc. ~~(1.5%~~(1.6%), KZ Kitchen Cabinet & Stone (1.3%), and Luminex Corporation ~~(1.1%~~(1.0%), – representing more than 1%.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we agreed to defer and abate a total of $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to customers whose businesses were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, well below the $3.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which was granted in the prior quarter. We are closely monitoring the collectability of such deferred rents.

~~Proposition 15:~~
‎~~As a result~~

Table of Proposition 13, which limits increases in assessed property values to 2% per year, the assessed value of most of our properties and the property taxes we pay in California are less than they would be if the properties were assessed at current values.ContentsAn initiative is on California’s November 2020 statewide ballot (“Prop 15”) that, if passed, would result in the reassessment of our California properties and would substantially increase our property tax expense likely starting in 2023. We believe we would be able to pass through substantially all of these increased expenses to our tenants. If Prop 15 does not pass, there can be no assurance that a similar initiative will not be proposed and passed in the future. If Prop 15 does pass, the timing and level of the reassessment and related property tax increases would be uncertain. See “Risk Factors – We have exposure to increased property tax in California” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for further information such as our aggregate net operating income and property tax expense in California.

Net Operating Income

We utilize net operating income (“NOI”), a measure that is not defined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate. We define NOI as rental income less Adjusted Cost of Operations. Adjusted Cost of Operations, a non-GAAP measure, represents cost of operations, excluding stock compensation, which can vary significantly period to period based upon the performance of the ~~company.~~Company.

We believe NOI assists investors in analyzing the performance of our real estate by excluding (i) corporate overhead (i.e., general and administrative expense) because it does not relate to the direct operating performance of our real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense because it does not accurately reflect changes in the fair value of our real estate, and (iii) stock compensation expense because this expense item can vary significantly from period to period and thus impact comparability across periods. The Company’s calculation of NOI 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. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

We also report NOI on a basis which excludes non-cash rents that have been deferred or abated during the period, certain non-cash revenue items, including amortization of deferred rent receivable, in-place lease intangible, tenant improvement reimbursements, and lease incentives, and also excludes stock-compensation expense for employees whose compensation expense is recorded in cost of operations (“Cash NOI”). We utilize Cash NOI to evaluate the cash flow performance of our properties and believe investors and analysts utilize this metric for the same purpose. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

See “Analysis of net income” below for reconciliations of each of these measures to their closest analogous GAAP measure from our consolidated statements of income.

Property taxes increased ~~5.7%~~2.2% and ~~6.6%~~2.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were due to higher assessed values. We expect potential ~~further~~ property tax growth in the future due to higher assessed values.

Utilities are dependent upon energy prices and usage levels. Changes in usage levels are driven primarily by weather and temperature. Utilities ~~decreased 7.2%~~increased 10.2% and ~~3.4%~~3.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior ~~year due to a rate reduction related to adopting a renewable energy program during~~year.

It is difficult to estimate future utility costs, because weather, temperature and energy prices are volatile and not readily predictable. However, we expect ~~that~~ utility costs ~~during~~in the ~~remainder of 2020~~future to ~~be comparable~~return to ~~our results for the three months ended September 30, 2020~~pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels over time due to ~~the seasonal nature of utility costs partially offset by increased~~expected increases in traffic and use at our parks as our customers resume operations.

Repairs and maintenance expense increased ~~6.0%~~1.5% and ~~decreased 0.7%~~3.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The three ~~month increase was due to higher security costs~~ and ~~property services as our customers resumed operations. The~~ nine month ~~decrease was primarily~~increases were due to a reduction in general repairs and property services as a result of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic partially offset by increased security costs and property services incurred~~“shelter in place order” placed into effect during the second and third quarter of 2020. 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~~always predictable. We expect ~~that~~ repairs and maintenance costs ~~during~~for the remainder of ~~2020~~2021 to be comparable to our results for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021 and more consistent with pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels as a result of expected increases in traffic and use at our parks as customers resume operations.

~~Payroll expense~~Compensation increased ~~12.9%~~0.7% and ~~8.7%~~2.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. ~~Payroll~~Compensation expense is comprised of ~~on site~~on-site and supervisory personnel costs incurred in the operation of our properties. ~~The three and nine month increases were primarily due to salary increases that took effect in October 2019.~~ We expect ~~payroll expenses during~~compensation expense for the remainder of ~~2020~~2021 to be ~~similar~~comparable to our results for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Snow removal costs ~~decreased 92.4%~~increased 1,344.3% during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year. ~~The nine month decrease was due to milder weather in 2020 in our Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland markets compared to the same period in 2019.~~ Snow removal costs are weather dependent and therefore not predictable.

Our past revenue growth has come from contractual annual rent increases as well as re-leasing of space at rates above outgoing rental rates. We believe the percentage difference between outgoing cash rent inclusive of estimated expense recoveries and incoming cash rent inclusive of estimated expense recoveries for leases executed ~~(the “Cash~~(“Cash Rental Rate Change”) is useful in understanding trends in current market rates relative to our existing lease rates. The following tables summarize the Cash Rental Rate Change and other key statistical information with respect to the Company’s leasing production for its Same Park portfolio ~~on a regional basis,~~ for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 (square feet in thousands):

We believe that our management and operating infrastructure typically allows us to generate higher NOI from newly acquired real estate facilities than was achieved by previous owners. However, it can take 24 or more months for us to fully achieve higher NOI, and the ultimate levels of NOI ~~to be~~ achieved can be affected by changes in general economic conditions. Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s ability to generate higher NOI from these newly acquired real estate facilities in the future, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our expectations with respect to newly acquired real estate facilities.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense was ~~$23.1~~$23.9 million and ~~$72.6~~$69.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, compared to ~~$26.2~~$23.1 million and ~~$75.9~~$72.6 million for the same periods in ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. The nine month decrease was primarily due to acceleration of depreciation expense related to a building reclassified to held for development in 2020.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expense primarily represents executive and other compensation, audit and tax fees, legal expenses and other costs associated with being a public company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, general and administrative expense increased ~~$1.0~~$0.1 million ~~or 24.6%,~~ and ~~$1.3~~$3.0 million, ~~or 12.5%,~~ respectively, compared to the same periods in ~~2019.~~ 2020.

The three month increase was primarily due to compensation and professional fees and the nine month increase was primarily due to stock compensation expense and professional fees related to the reincorporation of PSB from the state of California to the state of Maryland in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in both the three and nine month ~~increases were primarily due to higher stock compensation~~periods was partially offset by a reduction in expense due to accelerated stock compensation expense related to ~~our President and~~the former CEO retiring during September 2020 (discussed below), an increase in compensation expense, and an increase in professional fees related to various corporate service projects. These increases were partially offset by stock compensation expense incurred during the third quarter of 2019 tied to a modification of the Director Retirement Plan which did not recurretirement in the ~~current~~prior year.

In August 2020, the Company announced that Maria Hawthorne was retiring from her role as President and CEO effective September 1, 2020 and would continue to serve as a Director of the Company. Due to Ms. Hawthorne’s continued service as a Director of the Company, her unvested stock option and restricted stock units will continue to vest on their original vesting schedule in accordance with the Company’s 2012 Equity and Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plan and related award agreements. For financial reporting purposes, the end of the service periods for these stock option and restricted stock unit grants have changed from the various respective vesting dates to September 1, 2020, the date of her retirement as President and CEO. Accordingly, all remaining stock compensation expense for Ms. Hawthorne, which totaled $1.7 million, was amortized and included in general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate Facilities: On September 17, 2021, the Company sold a 22,000 square foot industrial-flex building located in Irving, Texas, for net sale proceeds of $3.4 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $2.9 million. On July 16, 2021, the Company sold a 244,000 square foot office business park located in Herndon, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $40.5 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $27.0 million. On June 17, 2021, the Company sold a 198,000 square foot office-oriented flex business park located in Chantilly, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $32.6 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.2 million.

On September 16, 2020, wethe Company sold two industrial buildings totaling 40,000 square feet located in Redmond, Washington, which were subject to an eminent domain process for net sale proceeds of $11.4 million, ~~and~~which resulted in a gain of $7.7 million.

On January 7, 2020, wethe Company sold aan 113,000 square foot office building located at Metro Park North in ~~Montgomery County,~~Rockville, Maryland, for net sale proceeds of $29.3 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 and the notes to our consolidated financial statements, which set forth 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~~are required to distribute ~~substantially all~~at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income” to our ~~shareholders,~~stockholders each year, which relative to a taxable C corporation, limits the amount of cash flow from operations that we can retain for investment purposes. 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 determined by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Our corporate credit rating by Standard and Poor’s is A-, while our preferred ~~shares are~~stock is rated BBB by Standard and Poor’s and Baa2 by Moody’s. We believe our credit profile and ratings will enable us to efficiently access both the public and private capital markets to raise capital, as necessary.

In order to maintain efficient access to the 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. Ratio of FFO to fixed charges and preferred distributions is calculated by dividing FFO excluding fixed charges and preferred distributions by fixed charges and

~~Table of Contents~~

preferred ~~distributions.~~distributions paid. Fixed charges include interest expense, capitalized interest and preferred equity distributions ~~paid to preferred shareholders.~~paid. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the ratio of FFO to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions paid was ~~5.6~~5.9 to 1.0.

~~We have a $250.0 million~~In August 2021, we amended and restated the credit agreement governing our revolving Credit Facility ~~that can be expanded~~to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facility from $250.0 million to $400.0 million and ~~expires in January 2022.~~extend the expiration date to August 2025. The Credit Facility can also be expanded to $700.0 million. We can use the Credit Facility as necessary as temporary financing until we are able to raise ~~longer term~~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 on our operations (such as covenants), ~~as well as~~and the desire for leverage.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the cost and availability of debt and equity capital and may have intensified negative impacts if resurgent outbreaks of the virus occur. Based upon our substantial current liquidity relative to our capital requirements noted below, and our strong financial profile and credit ratings, we do not expect such capital market turbulence to have a material impact upon our capital and growth plans over the next 12 months. However, there can be no assurance that it would not in the future, if the COVID-19 pandemic were to persist for a long period of time or intensify.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resource Analysis: We believe that our net cash provided by our operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to meet our ongoing requirements for debt service, capital expenditures and distributions to our ~~shareholders~~stockholders for the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had ~~$117.9~~$46.6 million in unrestricted cash. In the last five years, we have retained ~~approximately~~between $40 to $60 million in operating cash flow per year. Retained operating cash flow represents cash ~~from operations~~flow provided by operating activities, less ~~shareholder~~stockholder and unit holder distributions and capital ~~expenditures.~~expenditures, excluding development costs.

Required Debt Repayment: As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we have no debt outstanding on our Credit Facility. We are in compliance with all of the covenants and other requirements of our Credit Facility.

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 generally are related to property reconfigurations and other capital expenditures related to repositioning asset acquisitions.

In the last five years, our annual Same Park recurring capital expenditures have ranged between 11.5% and ~~16.3%~~14.3% as a percentage of NOI, and we expected ~~full year 2020~~future recurring capital expenditures to be within ~~or near the low end of~~ this range. While what we disclose herein with respect to capital expenditures represents our best estimates at this time, there can be no assurance that these amounts will not change substantially in the future for various reasons, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital projects and leasing volume.

Redemption of Preferred Stock: ~~Historically,~~On October 4, 2021, we announced that we are calling for redemption all outstanding depositary shares representing interests in our 5.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series W on November 3, 2021, at $25.00 per share plus prorated dividends from October 1, 2021, through the date of redemption. The aggregate redemption amount, including the payment of prorated dividends, to be paid to the holders of the depositary shares is $190.7 million.

Other than the Series W, we do not have ~~reduced our cost~~any other series of ~~capital by refinancing higher coupon~~ preferred securities ~~with lower coupon~~that are currently redeemable. Future redemptions of preferred ~~securities. Redemption of such preferred shares~~stock will depend upon many factors, including our cost of capital. None of our preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the holders. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the earliest redemption date of our outstanding preferred securities.

Acquisitions of real estate facilities: ~~Subsequent to~~On September ~~30,~~1, 2021, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial business park comprising approximately 718,000 rentable square feet in Grapevine, Texas, for a total purchase price of $123.3 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. On October 28, 2020, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial business park ~~comprised of~~comprising approximately 246,000 rentable square feet in Alexandria, Virginia, for a total purchase price of ~~$46.3 million.~~$46.6 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. On January 10, 2020, we acquired a multi-tenant industrial business park ~~comprised of~~comprising approximately 73,000 rentable square feet in La Mirada, California, for a total purchase price of $13.5 million, inclusive of capitalized transaction costs. We continue to seek to acquire additional real estate facilities; however, there is significant competition to acquire existing facilities in our markets and there can be no assurance as to the volume of future acquisition activity.

Sale of real estate: On September 17, 2021, we sold a 22,000 square foot industrial-flex building located in Irving, Texas, for net sale proceeds of $3.4 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $2.9 million. On July 16, 2021, we sold a 244,000 square foot office business park located in Herndon, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $40.5 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $27.0 million. On June 17, 2021, we sold a 198,000 square foot office-oriented flex business park located in Chantilly, Virginia, for net sale proceeds of $32.6 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.2 million. On September 16, 2020, we sold two industrial buildings totaling 40,000 square feet located in Redmond, Washington, which were subject to an eminent domain process for net sale proceeds of $11.4 million, ~~and~~which resulted in a gain of $7.7 million. On January 7, 2020, we sold an 113,000 square foot office building located at Metro Park North in ~~Montgomery County,~~Rockville, Maryland, for net sale proceeds of $29.3 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of $19.6 million.

Development of real estate facilities: As noted above, ~~as of~~during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021, we ~~were in~~completed the ~~process~~development of ~~developing~~ an ~~approximately~~ 83,000 square ~~feet small-bay~~foot shallow-bay industrial building on an excess land parcel at our Freeport Business Park in Irving, ~~Texas. As of September 30, 2020, $6.1 million of the estimated $8.1 million~~Texas for total development costs ~~had been incurred~~of $8.1 million. The total developed asset value inclusive of land costs, of $9.1 million was placed into service on March 1, 2021 and accordingly was reflected under ~~land and building held for development, net~~real estate facilities, at cost on our consolidated balance ~~sheets. This construction project is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2020.~~sheets at September 30, 2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

In August 2020, we entered into the Brentford Joint Venture with the JV Partner for the purpose of developing Brentford at The Mile, a planned 411-unit multifamily apartment complex. We contributed the Brentford Parcel to the Brentford Joint Venture at a value of $18.5 million, for which we received equity contribution credit in the Brentford Joint Venture. Our cost basis in the Brentford Parcel was ~~$5.4~~$5.1 million as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

‎

Table of Contents

Construction of Brentford at The Mile commenced in August 2020 and is anticipated to be completed over a period of 24 to 36 months at an estimated development cost of $110 million to $115 million, excluding land cost. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the development cost incurred was ~~$5.5~~$41.4 million, ~~inclusive of our $5.4 million cost basis in the Brentford Parcel,~~ which is reflected in land and building held for development, net on our consolidated balance ~~sheets.~~sheets along with our $5.1 million cost basis in the Brentford Parcel. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company ~~also~~ recorded non-capitalizable demolition costs of $0.3 million in interest and other expense on our consolidated statements of income.

Repurchase of Common Stock: No shares of common stock were repurchased under the board-approved common stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 or the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. As of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, management has the authorization to repurchase an additional 1,614,721 shares.

Requirement to Pay Distributions: Our election to be taxed as a REIT, as defined by the Code, applies to all periods presented herein. As a REIT, we do not incur U.S. federal corporate income tax on our “REIT taxable income” that is distributed each year (for this purpose, certain distributions paid in a subsequent year may be considered), and we continue to meet certain organizational and operational requirements. We believe we have met these requirements in all periods presented herein, and we expect we will continue to qualify as a REIT in future periods.

We paid REIT qualifying distributions of ~~$122.6~~$122.8 million ($36.1 million to preferred ~~shareholders~~stockholders and ~~$86.5~~$86.7 million to common ~~shareholders)~~stockholders) during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

We estimate the annual distribution requirements with respect to our preferred shares outstanding ~~at September 30, 2020~~ to be ~~$48.2~~$38.3 million per ~~year.~~year, excluding the 5.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series W that will be redeemed during the fourth quarter of 2021 (see Note 9).

If we are unable to find suitable Section 1031 exchange opportunities for the remainder of the net sale proceeds from the Lusk Sale by year end, we expect to declare and pay, by year end, a one-time special dividend sourced by a portion of the disposition proceeds. The actual amount of any special dividend will be determined by the Company based on its estimate of 2021 REIT taxable income.

Our consistent, long-term dividend policy has been to set dividend distribution amounts based on our taxable income. Future quarterly distributions with respect to common ~~shares~~stock will continue to be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements and, ~~after taking into consideration~~along with distributions to preferred ~~shareholders,~~stockholders, we expect will be funded with cash provided by operating activities.

Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, and Funds Available for Distributions

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and is considered a helpful measure of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. FFO represents GAAP net income before real estate depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of operating properties and land and impairment charges on real estate assets.

We also present Core FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) which are both also non-GAAP measures. The Company defines Core FFO ~~is defined by the Company~~ as FFO excluding the ~~net~~ impact of (i) income allocated to preferred ~~shareholders~~stockholders to the extent redemption value exceeds the related carrying value and (ii) other nonrecurring income or expense items as appropriate. FAD represents Core FFO adjusted to (i) deduct recurring capital improvements and capitalized tenant improvements and lease commissions and (ii) remove certain non-cash income or expense items such as amortization of deferred rent receivable and stock compensation expense.

FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 was ~~$1.55~~$1.72 per share and ~~$4.85~~$5.15 per share, respectively, representing ~~decreases~~increases of ~~9.2%~~11.2% and ~~5.5%~~6.2% from the same periods in ~~2019.~~

2020. The increases in FFO per share were the result of higher NOI as described above partially offset by higher general and administrative expense.

Table of Contents

Core FFO was $1.72 per share and $5.16 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and was $1.61 per share and $4.91 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Core FFO was equal to FFO, as the Company did not incur any preferred stock redemption charges or any nonrecurring income or expense items in either period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Core FFO excludes the impact of a one-time cost associated with the Company’s reincorporation as a Maryland corporation of $0.5 million incurred during the second quarter of 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Core FFO excludes the impact of ~~the~~ (i) accelerated amortization of stock compensation expense of $1.7 million related to the retirement of our former President and CEO and (ii) non-capitalizable demolition costs of $0.3 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Core FFO was equal to FFO as the Company did not incur any preferred share redemption charges or any nonrecurring income or expenses in either period.

Table of Contents

We believe FFO, Core FFO, and FAD assist investors in analyzing and comparing the operating and financial performance of a company’s real estate ~~between periods.~~from period to period. FFO, Core FFO, and FAD are not substitutes for GAAP net income. In addition, other REITs may compute FFO, Core FFO, and FAD differently, which could inhibit comparability.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations: We paid $36.1 million in distributions to our preferred ~~shareholders~~stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 and expect to continue to pay quarterly distributions of ~~$12.0~~$9.6 million, which excludes the 5.20% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series W scheduled to be redeemed during the fourth quarter of 2021 (Note 9) to our preferred ~~shareholders~~stockholders for the foreseeable future or until such time as there is a change in the amount or composition of our series of preferred equity outstanding.

Dividends on preferred equity are paid when and if declared by the Company’s Board and accumulate if not paid. Shares of preferred equity are redeemable by the Company in order to preserve its status as a REIT and are also redeemable five years after issuance, but ~~are not~~never redeemable at the option of the holder.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

To limit the Company’s exposure to market risk, the Company principally finances its operations and growth with permanent equity capital consisting of either common or preferred stock. The Company had no debt outstanding as of as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Credit Facility, which is subject to variable interest rates. See Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the terms, valuations and approximate principal maturities of the Company’s indebtedness, including the Credit Facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. These controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required for disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

~~Table of Contents~~

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company currently is not subject to any material legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to its business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in our other filings with the SEC. These factors may materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results and could cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations. ~~Except as described below, there~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

In addition, in considering the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and elsewhere, you should refer to the qualifications and limitations on our forward-looking statements that are described in Forward Looking Statements at the beginning of Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

~~We are subject to risks from the COVID-19 pandemic and we may in the future be subject to risks from other public health crises.~~

Since being reported in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally, including to every state in the United States, adversely affecting public health and economic activity. Our business is subject to risks from the COVID-19 pandemic, including, among others:

risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to illness or death of our employees or customers, negative impacts to the economic environment and to our customers which could reduce the demand for commercial property space or reduce our ability to collect rent, or potential regulatory action to close certain of our facilities that were determined not to be an “essential business” or for other reasons, limit our ability to complete development and redevelopment projects;

~~risk that even after the initial restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic ease, they could be reinstituted in case of future waves of infection or if additional pandemics occur;~~

risk that the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could reduce consumer confidence and result in an elevated level of move-outs of our long-term customers, resulting in a reduction in rental income due to occupancy reductions and increased “rent roll down” due to new customers having lower rental rates than departing customers; and

~~risk of negative impacts on the cost and availability of debt and equity capital as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material impact upon our capital and growth plans.~~

We believe that the degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacts our business, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition will be driven primarily by the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic itself, as well as the duration of indirect economic impacts such as recession, dislocation in capital markets, and job loss, as well as potential longer term changes in consumer behavior, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact

~~on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. Future public health crises could have similar impacts.~~

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
