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. 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 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”). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and, for tax years beginning beforeprior to 2018, any applicable alternative minimum tax.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) established Topic 848, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2020-04
(“ASU
2020-04”).
ASU
2020-04
provides companies with optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. For contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, companies can elect to not remeasure contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting conclusion. Companies can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU
2021-01”).
ASU
2021-01
clarifiesclarified the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848.
ASU
2020-04
and ASU
2021-01
can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, however, the guidance will only be available for optional use through December 31, 2022. In OctoberDecember 2022, the FASB issued a tentative decision which would amendASU
No. 2022-06,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU
2022-06”).
ASU
2022-06
amends the date the guidance will be available to December 31, 2024. The new standard applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. TheDuring the first quarter of 2023, the Company transitioned its LIBOR-based contracts to SOFR and elected to apply the practical expedients to modifications of qualifying debt contracts and hedging relationships as continuations of the existing contracts, rather than as new contracts. Application of the hedge accounting expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation and does not result in dedesignation of hedging relationships. Applying the expedients did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not yet adopted the standard and continues to evaluate the impact of ASU
2020-04no remaining LIBOR-based contracts.
and ASU
2021-01
on its consolidated financial statements and may elect optional expedients in future periods as reference rate reform activities occur.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-05
(“ASU
2021-05”),
Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. ASU
2021-05
requires lessors to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease under the
pre-ASU
classification criteria, and sales-type or direct financing classification would result in a Day 1 loss. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The ASU may be early adopted and can be applied either retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after the adoption of ASU
No. 2016-02
or prospectively to leases that commence or are modified on or after the date that an entity first applies the amendments. The Company adopted ASU
2021-05
prospectively on January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU
2021-05
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Sale of Real Estate Property
During the first quarter of 2022, the sole tenant at the Lake Vista Pointe property exercised its lease option to purchase the building and the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement with the tenant. At the time the tenant exercised the option, the Company reassessed the lease classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. This reclassification resulted in a gain on sale of $21.7 $
21.7
million net of disposal relateddisposal-related costs. On June 15, 2022, the Company sold the Lake Vista Pointe property in Dallas, Texas for a gross sales price of $43.8$
43.8
 million.
On
February 10, 2021, the Company sold the Cherry Creek property in Denver, Colorado for a gross sales price of $
95.0
 million, resulting in an aggregate gain of $
47.4
 million net of disposal-related costs, which has been classified as net gain on sale of real estate property in the condensed consolidated statements of

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

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 $420.4$425.6 million and $478.1$420.7 million (compared to a carrying value of $445.1$441.4 million and $466.5$443.3 million) as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

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 6.2% 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.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such
non-compliance,
liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business.

10. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Plan
On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100$
100
 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In July 2020, the Company completed the full March 2020 share repurchase plan. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional aggregate amount of $50$
50
 million of its outstanding shares of common stock.
In September 2022, the Company completed the full August 2020 share repurchase plan. Under the share repurchase programs, 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 SEC 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 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.

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)the grant of Operating Partnership long-term incentive plan 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”“Compensation Committee”). On May 4, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the
The Equity Incentive Plan increasingprovides for the maximum numberissuance of up to
3,763,580
shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan from 2,263,580 shares to 3,763,580 shares.stock. 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 of the year of grant (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of a defined peer group list of other US Office REIT companies (the “Peer
Group”) as of the first trading date in the year of grant.
The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the 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.
14During the first quarter of 2023, the Performance RSU Awards granted in January 2020, with a January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 Measurement Period, were earned at 150% of the target number of shares granted based on achievement of a TSR that was at or above the 75th percentile of the 2020 Peer Group.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our 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, 2022,March 31, 2023, we owned 25 properties comprised of 60 office buildings with a total of approximately 6.0 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our properties were approximately 85.8%84.9% leased.

Table of Contents
Office Leases
Historically, most leases for our properties have been 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 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 inwithin rental and other revenues on our condensed consolidated 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 inas tenant recoveries. All tenants in Canyon Park, Superior Pointe, The Terraces and 2525 McKinnon properties have triple net leases. Certain tenants at AmberGlen, Block 23, Bloc 83, 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 predominately full-service gross leases.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Economic Environment and Inflation
Over the last quarter, the economicEconomic conditions in the U.S. and globally have deteriorated,continue to be volatile, primarily due to rising inflation. As inflation continued to reach new highs, it set off a chain reaction of events, beginning with the U.S. Federal Reserve taking and signaling severe tightening measures, interest rates rising across the yield curve, volatility and losses in the public equity and debt markets, and now increasing concerns that the U.S. economy may experience a recession. The banking and lending sector in particular has been impacted by the interest rate environment. This evolving operating environment impacts our operating activities as:
 
business leaders may generally become more reticent to make large capital allocation decisions, such as entry into a new lease, given the uncertain economic environment;
 
our cost of capital costs havehas increased due to higher interest rates and credit spreads, and private market debt financing is significantly more challenging to arrange; and
 
retaining and attracting new tenants has become increasingly challenging due to potential business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns.
Despite the challenging economic environment, there is increasing evidence that many businesses have or will tighten up
in-person
work policies as economic conditions worsen. Many of these companies increased their workforce during the pandemic without increasing their available space. We expect these factors to help offset, at least partially, the recessionary headwinds to space demand.
COVID-19
Our business has been and is continuingwill likely continue to be impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic. In addition, our business has been and is continuingwill likely continue to be impacted by tenant uncertainty regarding office space needs given the evolving remote and hybrid working trends as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Throughout the
COVID-19
pandemic, all of our buildings have remained open and continue to operate. We have adopted policies and procedures to incorporate best practices for the safety of our tenants, our vendors and our employees. However,While the usage of our assets in the thirdfirst quarter 2022of 2023 was significantlystill lower than
pre-pandemic
usage.levels, usage has been increasing year over year. Usage of our assets in the near future depends on the duration of the pandemic, the continued implementation and effectiveness of
COVID-19
vaccines and other therapeutics and corporate and individual decisions regarding return to usage of office space, which is impossible to estimate.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies. While we did not experience any significant disruptions during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of
COVID-19
or governmental or tenant actions in response thereto, the long-term impact of the pandemic on our tenants and the world-wide economy is uncertain and impossible to estimate, and will depend on the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic.

Leasing activity has been and is expected to be impacted by the

pandemic.pandemic until and unless tenants increase utilization of their spaces. We have experienced and we expect that we will continue to experience slower new leasing and there remains uncertainty over existing tenants’ long-term space requirements. Overall, this could reduce our anticipated rental revenues. In addition, certain tenants in our markets have and may explore opportunities to sublease all or a portion of their leased square footage to other tenants or third parties. While subleasing generally does not impact the ability to collect payment from the original lessee and will not result in any decrease in the rental revenues expected to be received from the primary tenant, this trend could reduce our ability to lease incremental square footage to new tenants, could increase the square footage of our properties that “goes dark,” could reduce anticipated rental revenue should tenants determine their long-term needs for square footage are lower than originally anticipated and could impact the pricing and competitiveness for leasing office space in our markets.

We will continue to actively evaluate business operations and strategies to optimally position ourselves given current economic and industry conditions.
Business and Strategy
We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our footprint of growth markets predominantly in the Sun Belt. Our markets generally possess growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, generally
low-cost
centers for business operations and a high quality of life. We believe these characteristics have made our markets desirable, as evidenced by domestic net migration generally towards our geographic footprint. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate property and leasing managers to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation.
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. 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, including as a result of the rising interest rates and the increasing likelihood of a U.S. recession, 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. While we generally expect the trend of positive population and economic growth outperformance in our Sun Belt cities to continue, there is no way for us to predict whether these trends will continue, especially in light of inflation and rising interest rates as well as the potential changes in tax policy, fiscal policy and monetary policy. In addition, it is uncertain and impossible to estimate the potential impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the short- and long-term demand for office space in our markets.

Net Gain on the Sale of Real Estate Property.
 During the first quarter of 2022, the sole tenant at the Lake Vista Pointe property exercised its lease option to purchase the building and we signed a purchase and sale agreement with the tenant. At the time the tenant exercised the option, we reassessed the lease classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. This reclassification resulted in a gain on sale of $21.7 million net of disposal related costs. The Lake Vista Pointe property was sold in June 2022. In the prior year, we recorded a net gain on the sale of real estate property of $47.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the sale of our Cherry Creek property in February 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had approximately $22.0$35.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $19.7$16.4 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.
On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility that provided for commitments of up to $250 million, which included an accordion feature that allowed the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a five-year $50 million term loan, increasing its authorized borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility from $250 million to $300 million. On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendedthat increased the total authorized borrowings from $300 million to $350 million. On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) that providesAgreement for commitments of up to $300 million on the Unsecured Credit Facility. OurFacility and entered into a three-year $25 million term loan, increasing its total authorized borrowings from $350 million to $375 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended 12 months at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 125 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Combined with the Term Loan, the total authorized borrowings increased from $300 million to $350 million. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $185.0$195.7 million outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility and a $4.2 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender.
On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into the five-year $50 million Term Loan, increasing its authorized borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility from $250 million to $300 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin between 125 to 215 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In conjunction with the Term Loan, the Company also entered into the Interest Rate Swap. Pursuant to the 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.

On February 26, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, B. Riley FBR, Inc., D.A. Davidson & Co. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (the “Sales Agents”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the “ATM Program”). On May 7, 2021 the Company delivered to D.A. Davidson & Co. a notice of termination of the Agreement, effective May 7, 2021. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.
After considering the effect of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our consolidated operations, it is possible that we could fail certain financial covenants within certain property-level mortgage borrowings. For mortgages with financial covenants, the lenders’ remedy of a covenant failure would be a requirement to escrow funds for the purpose of meeting our future debt payment obligations.
As of March 31, 2023, the lenders for three of our mortgage borrowings have elected their right to direct property cash flows into lender-controlled restricted cash accounts to fund property operations until certain thresholds are met. For these three properties, the total restricted cash as of March 31, 2023 was $6.9 million.
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 and reserves established from existing cash. We have further sources such as proceeds from our public offerings, including under our ATM 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, interest rates, 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, 2022.March 31, 2023. Contracted interest on our term loans and part of the Term Loan wasUnsecured Credit Facility were calculated based on the Interest Rate Swapinterest rate swap rates fixing the LIBORSOFR component of the borrowing rate to approximately 1.27%.rates.
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. However, a longer period of inflation could affect our cash flows or earnings, or impact our borrowings, as discussed elsewhere in this Report.

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 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 condensed 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. The
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) has announced that it intendsintended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR, for future useand in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR.some cases, the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured lending rate, and SOFR being an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.
We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available, which could have a material adverse effect on our results. Although SOFR is the ARRC’s recommended replacement rate, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in other ways that would result in higher borrowing costs for us. As of March 31, 2023, our LIBOR-based borrowings and the $50 million interest rate swap have been transitioned to SOFR.

We currently consider our interest rate exposure to be moderate because as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, approximately $445.1$656.4 million, or 65.4%92.2%, of our debt had fixed interest rates, or effectively fixed rates when factoring in interest rate swaps, and approximately $235.0$55.7 million, or 34.6%7.8%, had variable interest rates. Of the $235.0The $656.4 million variablefixed rate debt $50.0includes a $50 million relates toterm loan, a $25 million term loan, and $140 million of the Term LoanUnsecured Credit Facility against which we have applied interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Interest Rate Swap. The Interest Rate Swap effectively fixesSOFR component of the

LIBOR rate at approximately 1.27% borrowing rates until maturity of the Term Loan. When factoringdebt. A 1% increase in the Term Loan as fixed rate debt through the Interest Rate Swap, approximately 72.8% of our debt was fixed rate debt and 27.2% was variable rate debt as of September 30, 2022. An increase of 1% in LIBORSOFR would result in a $1.9$0.6 million increase to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 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 1% decrease in LIBORSOFR would result in a $1.9$0.6 million decrease to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, management does not believe that any such litigation will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factor supplements the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as presented below or in the section titled “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in such Annual Report.
Inflation and price volatility in the global economy could negatively impact our tenants and our results of operations
None.
.
Inflation in the United States has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades, including rising energy prices, prices for consumer goods, interest rates, wages and currency volatility. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, the consumer price index rose by approximately 8.2% compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. These increases and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events could negatively impact our results of operations, and could also negatively impact our tenants’ businesses. While our leases generally provide for fixed annual rent increases, high levels of inflation could outpace our contractual rent increases. The leases at our properties are either full-service gross or net lease basis. Our full-service gross leases generally have 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 the property. Additionally, our
triple-net
leases require the lessee to pay all property operating expenses. Therefore, increases in property-level expenses resulting from inflation could have an adverse impact on our lessees if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in their revenue, which may adversely affect our lessees’ ability to pay rent or other obligations owed to us. An increase in our lessees’ expenses and a failure of their revenues to increase at least with inflation could adversely affect our lessees’ and our financial condition and our results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 9, 2020,May 4, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (“Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In July 2020, the Company completed the full March 2020 share repurchase plan. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional aggregate amount of $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In September 2022, the Company completed the full August 2020 share repurchase plan.stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Under the share repurchase programs,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, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule
10b5-1
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC 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
