City Office REIT, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

City Office REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on
November 26, 2013.2013
. On
April 21, 2014
, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).

The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating
Partnership’s
partnership agreement, as amended,
to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs

During the three months ended

In September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
a
five-year Interest Rate Swap for a notional amount of $50.0 million, which became effective September 2019. The five-year swap agreement terminates in September 2024.million. Pursuant to the agreement,Interest Rate Swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 1.27% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate
30-day
LIBOR payments.

Accordingly, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap has been classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The Interest Rate Swap has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and has been recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As of September 30,March 31, 2020, the Interest Rate Swap was reported as a liability at its fair value of approximately $2.0 million, which is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the amount of realized losses reclassified to interest expense due to payments received by the swap counterparty were nominal.
As of December 31, 2019, the Interest Rate Swap was reported as an asset at its fair value of approximately $0.2$0.7 million, which is included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the amount of realized gains reclassified to interest expense due to payments received by the swap counterparty were nominal. Accordingly, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap has been classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Rents Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $586.1$610.3 million and $503.3$576.9 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

8. Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company is focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality office properties for lease to a stable and diverse tenant base. Our properties have both full-service gross and net leases which are generally classified as operating leases. Rental income related to such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for its lease andnon-lease components as a single combined operating lease component under the new leasing standard. As a result, rental income, expense reimbursement, and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. One of the Company’s operating ground leases includes rental payment increases over the lease term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Changes in the CPI were not estimated as part of the measurement of the operating lease liability. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate
of 6.31%
6.3
% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rates were derived from the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments.

Right-of-use
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Operating lease expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.million. Financing lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was nominal.

Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) for executive officers, directors and certain
non-executive
employees, and with approval of the Board of Directors, for subsidiaries and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Plan Administrator”).

On May 2, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan from 1,263,580 shares to 2,263,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.

On January 27, 2020, each of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted unit award agreement (the “Performance RSU Award Agreement”) that will be used to grant performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance RSU Awards”) pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Performance RSU Awards are based upon the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock over a three-year measurement period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of the companies in the SNL US REIT Office
15

index as of January 2, 2020 (the “2020 RSU Peer Group”). The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 150% payout. Payouts are mathematically interpolated between these stated percentile targets, subject to a 150% maximum.
To the extent earned, the payouts of the Performance RSU Awards are intended to be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, dividend equivalents in an amount equal to all regular and special dividends declared with respect to the Company’s common stock during each annual measurement period during the Measurement Period are determined and paid on a cumulative, reinvested basis over the term of the applicable Performance RSU Award, at the time such award vests and based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are earned.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019, 162,500March 31, 2020, 147,050 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to executive officers, directors and certain
non-executive
employees with a fair value of $1.8$2.0 million. The
RSU
awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020
,
the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.5 million related to the RSUs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to the RSUs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 97,500
Performance RSU Awards were granted to executive officers with a fair value
of $1.3 
million. The Performance RSU Awards will vest on the last day of
the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2020, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.4$0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the RSUs.

The holder of an award of RSU has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The Plan Administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respectAwards.

Since March 2020, the Company received certain rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of
COVID-19.
The Company is evaluating each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modification agreements, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements.

Overview

Company

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions.

Revenue Base

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we owned 2825 properties comprised of 6665 office buildings with a total of approximately 5.95.8 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our properties were approximately 91.2%92.2% leased.

Office Leases

Historically, most leases for our properties were on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop”, whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in
18

the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are

billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. All tenants in ourthe Lake Vista Pointe, 2525 McKinnon, Sorrento Mesa and Canyon Park properties have triple net leases. Certain tenants at AmberGlen, Cherry Creek, Superior Pointe, Florida Research Park, Circle Point, The Quad, Cascade Station and Denver Tech have leases on a triple net basis. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are full-service gross leases.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

COVID-19
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
COVID-19
outbreak a pandemic. There have been mandates from international, federal, state and local authorities requiring forced closures of businesses and other facilities, and most of the markets in which our buildings are located are subject to some form of quarantine or
shelter-in-place
restrictions. These forced closures and restrictions have had a material adverse effect on the global economy and the regional U.S. economies in which we operate, including negatively impacting some of our tenants’ ability to pay their rent.
It is still too early to predict the extent and timing of the full impact on businesses from the severe dislocations caused by the effective shutdown of large segments of our economy. While the
COVID-19
pandemic did not have a meaningful impact on our financial results for the first quarter of 2020, we believe it is likely our future financial results will be adversely impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic. Given the fluidity of the pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, losses related to tenant financial difficulties are difficult to predict.
All of our buildings are open and continue to operate. We have adopted new policies and procedures to incorporate best practices for the safety of our tenants, our vendors and our employees. However, the usage of our assets in March and April of 2020 was significantly lower than normal due to the
COVID-19
pandemic. Usage of our assets for the remainder of 2020, however, depends on the duration of the
COVID-19
pandemic, which is difficult to estimate.
We believe that some of the industries that will be most impacted by
COVID-19
are coworking, retail, restaurant and café, travel and accommodation, live event related and energy. We generally have limited exposure to these industries, with these sectors comprising approximately 3% of our portfolio by square footage. However, the impact of
COVID-19
extends to all sectors of the U.S. economy and as such, we expect that tenants outside of these select industries will also face significant challenges. Rating agencies have downgraded the credit rating and outlook of many businesses, including two of our ten largest tenants.
Through May 4, 2020, we have collected approximately 98% of our contractually required base rents from our tenants for the month of April 2020. We expect that the rate of collections in May 2020 and future months may be lower, as the length of the economic downturn continues to impact tenants. We have received rent relief requests from certain tenants, and we have developed dedicated teams and processes to evaluate
non-payments
and rent relief requests. We believe many of these requests received were from tenants who have the ability to pay rent and were seeking opportunistic deferral opportunities. We are working efficiently to find tailored resolutions in each case where warranted, including potential deferrals of rent, lease term extensions in lieu of short term rent relief, temporary percentage rent opportunities for hospitality entities, or, in limited circumstances, rent abatement particularly when the tenant is viewed as an amenity to the building. We assume we will incur losses due to tenants that default on their leases, file for bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, but the extent of those losses is difficult to predict.
19

We also believe that leasing activity has been and will continue to be impacted by
COVID-19.
We expect that we will experience slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing, which we expect will be partially offset by higher renewal activity. Overall, this would reduce our anticipated rental revenues. Because construction activities have generally been classified as essential activities throughout our markets during the
COVID-19
pandemic, we do not currently expect meaningful delays in customers taking occupancy under recently signed leases.
Strategically, we have made adjustments to our business operations as a result of
COVID-19.
We have ceased acquisition activities, allocated capital towards our share repurchase program, adjusted our common stock dividend and are operating with lower leverage and higher levels of liquidity. For a discussion of the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our liquidity and balance sheet, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
The situation surrounding
COVID-19
remains fluid and we will continue to monitor and actively manage our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and other third parties to optimally position the Company.
Business and Strategy

We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our target markets. Our target markets generally possess what we believe are favorable economic growth trends, growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, are generally
low-cost
centers for business operations, and exhibit favorable occupancy trends. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate operators and our investment partners to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation. Our target markets are attractive, among other reasons, because we believe that ownership is often concentrated among local real estate operators that typically do not benefit from the same access to capital as public REITs and there is a relatively low level of participation of large institutional investors. We believe that these factors result in attractive pricing levels and risk-adjusted returns.

Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally
in-line
or slightly below the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries that impair our ability to renew or
re-let
space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.

Conditions in Our Markets

Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance.

In addition, the recent

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, proceeds from our public offerings, including under our at the market issuance program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements using our Unsecured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.

We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this is or will continue to be the case. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets is dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

Contracted interest on the floating rate borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility was calculated based on the balance and interest rate at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Contracted interest on the Term Loan was calculated based on the Interest Rate Swap rate fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to approximately 1.27%.

Inflation

Substantially all of our office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have used, and will use, derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our derivatives.

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We consider our interest rate exposure to be minimal, because as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, approximately $563.7$560.8 million, or 85.8%78.9%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $93.3$150 million, or 14.2%21.1%, had variable interest rates. Of the $93.3$150 million variable rate debt, $50 million relates to the Term Loan against which we have applied the Interest Rate Swap. The Interest Rate Swap effectively fixes the 30 day
30-day
LIBOR rate at approximately 1.27% until maturity of the Term Loan. When factoring in the Term Loan as fixed rate debt through the Interest Rate Swap, approximately 93.4%85.9% of our debt hadwas fixed rate debt and 6.6% had14.1% was variable rate debt as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. A 10% increase in LIBOR would increase our annual interest costs by approximately $0.2$0.1 million on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 10% decrease in LIBOR would decrease our annual interest costs by approximately $0.2$0.1 million on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on our Company’s capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Company’s financial structure.

In addition, the uncertainty that exists with respect to the economic impact of the recent
COVID-19
pandemic has introduced significant volatility in global financial markets and economies subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The impacts of such volatility on the Company cannot be predicted with confidence or reasonably estimated at this time.

Our commitments

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus
(“COVID-19”),
and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to Second City Real Estate II Corporation (“Second City”), Clarity Real Estate III GP, Limited Partnership (“Clarity RE”), Clarity Real Estate Ventures GP, Limited Partnership (together with Clarity RE, “Clarity”),pay dividends and their respective affiliates may give rise to various conflicts of interest.

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising outthe per share market price of our relationshipcommon stock or preferred stock.

Since being reported in December 2019,
COVID-19
has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared
COVID-19
a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with Second Cityrespect to
COVID-19.
Since that time, the global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, Clarity.as cases of
COVID-19
have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has had, and a future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases could have, repercussions across regional and global financial markets and economies. The outbreak of
COVID-19
in many countries, including the United States, has adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets.
Certain states and cities, including where we own properties and where our principal place of business is located, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel,
“stay-at-home”
rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate. The Company cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions, whether or how the nature of these restrictions may evolve or when restrictions currently in place or modified restrictions in the future will expire. As a result, the
COVID-19
pandemic is negatively impacting many industries and governmental operations directly or indirectly, including the industries in which the Company and our tenants operate. A number of our tenants have announced temporary closures of their offices and other operations, and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic. In addition, many of our employees in our principal offices are currently working remotely. The effects of an extended period of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.
The
COVID-19
pandemic, or a future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could also have adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to pay dividends and the per share market price of our common stock or preferred stock, among other factors:
a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;
the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, liquidity and creditworthiness, which may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, seek modifications of such obligations or exercise early termination rights;
a decrease in the demand for office space, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio;
27

difficulty accessing sources of capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to debt or equity capital necessary to fund future capital needs (including redevelopment, acquisition, expansion and renovation activities, payments of principal and interest on and the refinancing of our existing debt, tenant improvements and leasing costs) or refinancings on a timely basis and our tenants’ ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;
the financial impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility, including the Term Loan, and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which
non-compliance
could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings and pay dividends on our common stock or preferred stock;
any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of a weaker economic conditions;
a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability or desire to grow our portfolio of properties due to a lack of suitable acquisition opportunities;
a general decline in the attractiveness of our properties due to changes in the demand for office space, which may adversely impact our ability to consummate pending or future dispositions on terms that allow us to recover expected carrying values of a real estate investment; and
the potential negative impact on the health of a significant number of our employees could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity or maintain adequate disclosure reporting or internal controls through the duration of this disruption.
The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic impacts our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, and those of our tenants, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the internalizationpandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. In addition,
non-payment
of rent or early lease terminations by our tenants could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our former external advisor on February  1, 2016, we agreed to allow our management to continue to provide services to Second City under the terms of anadministrative services agreement. In addition, the terms of the administrative services agreementcommon stock and the employment agreements we entered into with each of our executive officers permit, under certain circumstances and subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors, our executive officers to advise or oversee new or additional funds in the future. On July  31, 2019, we, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a separateadministrative services agreement with Clarity to provide administrative services to Clarity similar to those provided to Second City. These arrangements with Second City and Clarity may create potential conflicts of interests, including competition for the time and services of personnel that work for us and our affiliates.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

None.

On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. Under the share repurchase program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock repurchased will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in
capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
Share repurchase activity under our share repurchase plan, on a trade date basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was as follows:
