Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(in ~~thousands)~~thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Business Description

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Corporation focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Corporation leases industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, ~~retail,~~ and ~~other~~retail commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of ~~635~~661 individual commercial properties with 660 properties located in 41 U.S. states ~~throughout the continental United States~~ and ~~one~~1 property located in British Columbia, Canada.

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the Corporation’s operating company, or the “OP”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member of the OP. The remaining membership units in the OP (“OP Units”), which are referred to as non-controlling interests, are held by members who ~~acquired their interest by contributing real estate properties or other assets~~were issued OP Units pursuant to the OPInternalization (defined below) or in exchange for ~~OP Units.~~their interests in properties acquired by the OP. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as what is referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the ~~“Company”. The following table summarizes the outstanding equity and economic ownership interest of the Corporation and the OP:~~“Company.”

~~The Corporation operates under the direction of its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), which is responsible for the management and control of the Company’s affairs.~~ Prior to February 7, 2020, the Corporation was externally managed by Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) subject to the ~~Board of Directors’~~ direction, oversight, and ~~approval.~~approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The Asset Manager was a wholly owned subsidiary of BRE and all of the Corporation’s officers were employees of BRE. Accordingly, both BRE and the Asset Manager were related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion concerning related parties and related party transactions.

On February 7, 2020, the Corporation, the OP, BRE, and certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, completed through a series of mergers (the “Mergers”) the internalization of the external management functions previously performed for the Corporation and the OP by BRE and the Asset Manager (such transactions, collectively, the “Internalization”). Upon consummation of the Internalization, the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP and the Company became internally managed. Upon Internalization, the prior Property Management Agreement and Asset Management Agreement were terminated. The Internalization was not considered a “Termination Event” under the terms of the agreements and therefore no0 fees were paid under them as a result of the Internalization. ~~The Internalization consisted~~

On September 18, 2020, the Corporation effected a 4-for-one stock split on its then outstanding 26,944 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) that previously had a $0.001 par value. Concurrent with the stock split, the OP effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding OP Units. No fractional shares or OP Units were issued as a result of the ~~acquisition~~stock split. All historic share and per share amounts in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split.

On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued an aggregate of ~~BRE in accordance with~~37,000 shares of a new class of common stock, $0.00025 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”) at $17.00 per share, which includes shares issued pursuant to the ~~definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”~~underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-240381), as amended, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Shares of Class A Common Stock were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). under the symbol “BNL.” On March 20, 2021, each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the symbol “BNL.” See Note 13.

The following table summarizes the outstanding equity and economic ownership interest of the Corporation and the OP:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Information

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Corporation has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, included in the Company’s ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February ~~27, 2020.~~25, 2021. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model, the Corporation evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model. The Corporation has complete responsibility for the day-to-day management of, authority to make decisions for, and control of the OP. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the OP is a VIE as the members in the OP do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the OP. However, because the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the OP and certain other conditions are met, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.

The portion of the OP not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.

Basis of Accounting

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent ~~assets and~~ liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets and goodwill, the provision for impairment, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the provisions for uncollectible rent and credit losses, the fair value of the earnout ~~liabilities,~~liability, the fair value of assumed debt, ~~and notes payable,~~ the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill, to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. A significant judgment is made as to if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment as of March 31, ~~2020~~2021 was based on the most current information available to the Company. Based upon current market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~(see Note 17),~~ certain of the Company’s properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on the Company’s plans with respect to each of those properties, the Company believes that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, under applicable GAAP guidance, no0 impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the future.During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges associated with one property in each respective period. Impairment indicators primarily included changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties.

Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market conditions, as derived through the use of published commercial real estate market information. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $~~2,133~~2,012 and ~~$1,017,~~$2,133, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, ~~notes payable,~~ and lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is reported within Prepaid expenses and other assets inon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842,~~ ~~Leases~~. The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors, including the initial determination that the contract is or contains a lease. Generally, all of the Company’s property related contracts are or contain leases, and therefore revenue is recognized when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased assets. In most instances this occurs on the lease commencement date. At the time of lease assumption or at the inception of a new lease, including new leases that arise from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the proper lease classification.

Certain of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay rent based upon a percentage of the property’s net sales (“percentage rent”) or contain rent escalators indexed to future changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Lease income associated with such provisions is considered variable lease income and is not included in the initial measurement of the lease receivable, or in the calculation of straight-line rent revenue. Such amounts are recognized as income when the amounts are determinable.

A lease is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee has a purchase option that is reasonably expected to be exercised, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the leased property, (iv) the present value of the future lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased property, and (v) the leased property is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no future alternative use to the Company at the end of the lease term. If one or more of these criteria are met, the lease will generally be classified as a sales-type lease, unless the lease contains a residual value guarantee from a third party other than the lessee, in which case it would be classified as a direct financing lease under certain circumstances.

The Company accounts for the right to use land as a separate lease component, unless the accounting effect of doing so would be insignificant. Determination of significance requires management judgment. In determining whether the accounting effect of separately reporting the land component from other components for its real estate leases is significant, the Company assesses: (i) whether separating the land component impacts the classification of any lease component, (ii) the value of the land component in the context of the overall contract, and (iii) whether the right to use the land is coterminous with the rights to use the other assets.

~~Revenue recognition methods for operating leases, direct financing leases, and sales-type leases are described below:~~

~~Rental property accounted for under operating leases~~ – Revenue is recognized as rents are earned on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. For leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as Accrued rental income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases~~ – The Company utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record direct financing lease income. The net investment in the direct financing lease represents receivables for the sum of future lease payments to be received and the estimated residual value of the leased property, less unamortized unearned income (which represents the difference between undiscounted cash flows and discounted cash flows). Unearned income is deferred and amortized into income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the leases.

~~Rental property accounted for under sales-type leases~~ – For leases accounted for as sales-type leases, the Company records selling profit arising from the lease at inception, along with the net investment in the lease. The Company leases assets through the assumption of existing leases or through sale-leaseback transactions, and records such assets at their fair value at the time of acquisition, which in most cases coincides with lease inception. As a result, the Company does not generally recognize selling profit on sales-type leases. The net investment in the sales-type lease represents receivables for the sum of future lease payments and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased property, each measured at net present value. Interest income is recorded over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the leases.

~~Certain of the Company’s lease contracts contain nonlease components (e.g., charges for management fees, common area maintenance, and reimbursement of third-party maintenance expenses) in addition to lease components (i.e.~~, monthly rental charges). Services related to nonlease components are provided over the same period of time as, and billed in the same manner as, monthly rental charges. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient available under ASC 842, for all classes of assets, not to separate the lease components from the nonlease components when accounting for operating leases. Since the lease component is the predominant component under each of these leases, combined revenues from both the lease and nonlease components are reported as Lease revenues, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

Rent Received in Advance

Rent received in advance represents tenant payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent received in advance is as follows:

Provision for Uncollectible Rent

In accordance with ASC 842, ~~provision~~Leases, provisions for uncollectible rent are recorded as an offset to Lease revenues, net on the accompanying ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) ~~Income. The following table summarizes the changes in the provision for uncollectible rent:~~.

Write-offs		—		(2,527	)
Ending balance	$	1,033	$	—		$	343	$	1,033

~~Goodwill~~

Goodwill represents the excess of the amount paid over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and is assigned to one or more reporting units. The Company’s reporting unit is the same as its reportable segment. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, or at least annually. The Company will adopt an annual goodwill testing date during the fourth quarter.

~~Deferred Initial Public Offering Costs~~

The Company has incurred certain costs in connection with its anticipated initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company capitalizes such deferred IPO costs, which primarily consist of direct, incremental legal, professional, accounting and other third-party fees. The deferred IPO costs will be offset against IPO proceeds upon the consummation of an offering. Should the planned IPO be abandoned, the deferred IPO costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, deferred IPO costs were $1,282 and $668, respectively, and were included within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

~~ASC 820,~~ Recurring Fair Value Measurements ~~and Disclosures,~~ defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.

The Company has estimated that the carrying amount reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Cash and cash equivalents, Prepaid expenses and other assets, Tenant and other receivables, net, and Accounts payable and other liabilities, approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Earnout Liability – In connection with the Internalization, the Company recognized an earnout liability that will be due and payable to the former owners of BRE if certain milestones are achieved during specified periods of time following the closing of the Internalization (the “Earnout Periods”). Under the terms of the agreement, the milestones related to either (a) the 40-day dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock (“VWAP per REIT Share”), following the completion of an IPO of the Company’s common stock, or (b) the Company’s ~~adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)~~AFFO per share, prior to the completion of an ~~IPO (see Note 4).~~IPO.

The Company utilizes third-party valuation experts to assist in estimating the fair value of the earnout liability, and develops estimates by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis. These estimates require the Company to make various assumptions about ~~future~~ share ~~prices,~~price volatility and, prior to the IPO, about the timing of an IPO and ~~other items that~~net asset prices, each of which are unobservable and ~~are~~ considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. A

change in these inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. ~~As shown~~Specifically, advancements in the ~~tables below, the Company’s weighted average expected~~estimated IPO date upon close of the Internalization was April 15, 2020. Due to the market dislocation and uncertainty presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, management revised its weighted average expected IPO date as of quarter end to March 15, 2021. The Company anticipates commencing its IPO when market conditions allow, which may be before March 15, 2021. To the extent the expected IPO date advances, there would be a corresponding increase inassumption increased the earnout liability’s fair value given the earnout’s fixed time horizon. Peer share price volatilities are used to estimate the Company’s expected share price volatility, and the Company’s corresponding ability to achieve the earnout targets. AnIncreases in the volatility assumption would increase ~~in peer share price volatility would result in an increase in~~ the earnout liability’s fair value. Increases in net asset values would also increase the earnout liability’s fair value.

Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company’s judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

The Company is a lessee under non-cancelable operating leases associated with its corporate headquarters and other office spaces as well as with leases of land (“ground leases”). The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with these leases. The lease liability is equal to the net present value of the future payments to be made under the lease, discounted using estimates based on observable market factors. The right-of-use asset is generally equal to the lease liability plus initial direct costs associated with the leases. The Company includes in the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability those renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease inception. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions are considered variable lease costs and are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company has made an accounting policy election, applicable to all asset types, not to ~~not~~ separate lease from nonlease components when allocating contract consideration related to operating leases.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with operating leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

~~Earnout Liability~~Stock-Based Compensation

The ~~Company’s earnout liability is payable~~Company has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under its 2020 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Company accounts for stock-based incentives in ~~a combination of cash, common shares, and OP Units,~~accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the ~~same proportion as~~financial statements based on the ~~initial consideration paid in the Internalization (see Note 4).~~award’s estimated grant date fair value. The common shares and OP Units payable under the arrangement will be subject to a redemption rights agreement, whereby holders of the common shares and OP Units will have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of the common shares or OP Units if an IPO has not occurred (see discussion of the redemption rights agreement in Note 4). The common shares and OP Units are deemed to be freestanding financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the Company’s common shares and OP Units, and therefore have been classified as liabilities together with the cash portion of the earnout. The fair value of ~~the earnout liability at the time of the Internalization was recorded~~such awards is recognized as compensation expense in Earnout liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of the purchase price allocation. The fair value of the earnout liability is remeasured each reporting period, with changes recorded as Change in fair value of earnout liabilityGeneral and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) ~~Income.~~

Dividends declared on RSAs issued under the Equity Incentive Plan are not yet exercisable as of March 31, 2020 (see discussion of redemption rights agreement in Note 4). The Company presents the mezzanine equity common stock and mezzanine equity non-controlling interests as mezzanine equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are redeemable outside the Company’s control.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~June 2016,~~January 2021, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~ASU 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses~~ which changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost are required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with a provision for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. The guidance requires an entity to utilize broader information in estimating the expected credit loss, including forecasted information. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses~~ ~~which clarified that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of this guidance. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-09 (collectively, “ASC 326”~~Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) were effective January 1, 2020, under a modified retrospective application. The new guidance applies to the Company’s investments in direct financing leases. Due to the nature of its activities, the Company’s lease portfolio has historically not included a significant number of direct financing leases, and as a result the adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on its financial statements. In connection with the adoption of ASC 326, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $323 with an offsetting cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.

~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.~~ The amendments under ASU 2018-13 remove, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC 820. The amendments were effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020. The modifications and new disclosures required by the new standard primarily relate to disclosures around recurring Level 3 fair value measurements.

~~In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04,~~ ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments~~ which clarified and improved guidance within the recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The Company assessed the impact of the changes to Topic 326 in connection with its adoption of ASU 2016-13 discussed above. The provisions of ASU 2019-04 relating to Topics 815 and 825 relate to clarifying the provisions of existing guidance that were not applicable to the Company.

~~In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,~~ 2021-01,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): ~~Facilitation~~Scope, which refines the scope of ASC 848, to include all derivative contracts subject to a transition for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest (PAI) as a result of reference rate reform (the “discounting transition”). ASU 2021-01 gives market participants the ability to apply certain aspects of the ~~Effects~~contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by a discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 permits an entity to elect certain hedging relief if it has designated a derivative as a hedging instrument in a hedging relationship and the terms of ~~Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions~~the derivative have changed as a result of the discounting transition. The Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2021-01 related to ~~the U.S. GAAP guidance on~~ contract modifications and hedge accounting affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.hedging relationships prospectively.

Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

~~As more fully described~~In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in ~~Note 17, during 2020 there have been business disruptions~~Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and ~~challenges severely affecting~~Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions providedadopted as ~~a result~~ of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to elect whether or not it will apply the lease modification accounting framework, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances, rather than performing an analysisbeginning of the ~~concessions granted on a lease by lease basis.~~fiscal year of adoption. The Company ~~expects to elect to apply such relief and will avail itself~~is currently evaluating the impact of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis. The Lease Modification Q&A has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions.

~~Reclassifications~~

The Company reclassified $443 of Income taxes from a component of Operating expenses to a component of Other income (expenses), on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019, to conform with the current period presentation. The reclassification is a change from one acceptable presentation to another acceptable presentation.this new guidance.

3. Related-Party Transactions

Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, BRE, a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation had either a direct or indirect ownership interest, and the Asset Manager were considered to be related parties.

~~Property Management Agreement~~

The Corporation and the OP were parties to a property management agreement (as amended, the “Property Management Agreement”) with BRE. Under the terms of the Property Management Agreement, BRE managed and coordinated certain aspects of the leasing of the Corporation’s rental property.

~~In exchange for services provided under the Property Management Agreement, BRE received certain fees and other compensation as follows:~~

~~(i)~~

3% of gross rentals collected each month from the rental property for property management services (other than one property, which called for 5% of gross rentals under the Property Management Agreement); and

~~(ii)~~

~~Re-leasing fees for existing rental property equal to one month’s rent for a new lease with an existing tenant and two months’ rent for a new lease with a new tenant.~~

Upon completion of the Internalization, the Property Management Agreement was terminated and there will be no future property management fees payable to BRE. The Internalization was not considered a “termination event” under the Property Management Agreement, so no fees were payable to BRE as a result of the Internalization. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding the Internalization, including the associated payments related thereto.

~~Asset Management Agreement~~

The Corporation and the OP were parties to an asset management agreement (as amended, the “Asset Management Agreement”) with the Asset Manager, a single member limited liability company of which BRE was the sole member, and therefore a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation had an indirect ownership interest. Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager was responsible for, among other things, the Corporation’s acquisition, initial leasing, and disposition strategies, financing activities, and providing support to the Corporation’s Independent Directors Committee (“IDC”) for its valuation functions and other duties. The Asset Manager also nominated two individuals to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

~~Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager was compensated as follows:~~

~~(i)~~

a quarterly asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate value of common stock, based on the per share value as determined by the IDC each quarter, on a fully diluted basis as if all interests in the OP had been converted into shares of the Corporation’s common stock;

~~(ii)~~

~~0.5% of the proceeds from future equity closings as reimbursement for offering, marketing, and brokerage expenses;~~

~~(iii)~~

1% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired (other than acquisitions described in (iv) below), including any property contributed in exchange for membership interests in the OP;

~~(iv)~~

2% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired in the event that the acquisition of a rental property required a new lease (as opposed to the assumption of an existing lease), such as a sale-leaseback transaction;

~~(v)~~

~~1% of the gross sale price received for each rental property disposition; and~~

~~(vi)~~

~~1% of the Aggregate Consideration, as defined in the Asset Management Agreement, received in connection with a disposition event, as defined in the Asset Management Agreement.~~

Upon completion of the Internalization, the Asset Management Agreement was terminated and there will be no future asset management fees payable to the Asset Manager. The Internalization was not considered a “termination event” under the Asset Management Agreement, so no fees were payable to the Asset Manager as a result of the Internalization. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding the Internalization, including the associated payments related thereto.

~~Tax Protection Agreement~~

Upon closing of the Internalization, the Company entered into an agreement with Amy L. Tait, the Company’s founder, and certain members of her family (“Founding Owners”), pursuant to which the OP agreed to indemnify the Founding Owners against the applicable income tax liabilities resulting from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposal of the assets of BRE that the Company acquired in the Internalization, through February 7, 2030, or the Company’s failure to allocate specific types of the OP’s indebtedness to the Founding Owners (the “Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement”). The maximum amount the Company may be liable for under the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement is $10,000.

Earnout Consideration

In connection with the Internalization, the Company incurred a contingent ~~liability~~obligation that would be payable to certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and employees who had previously been owners and/or employees of BRE, upon the occurrence of certain events (see Note 4). The ~~fair value of the~~ earnout ~~liability was $44,296 as of~~consideration at March 31, ~~2020.~~

The lease of 24,072 square feet of office space is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2023, with two five-year renewal options. The annual rent for 2020 is approximately $547, with 2% annual increases thereafter. See further discussion in Note 16.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4. Internalization

On February 7, 2020, the Company completed the Internalization and the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP.

^(a)	Initial contractual value of applicable earnout tranche based on an $85.00 price per share/unit of common stock and OP Units. Does not take into account the actual per share price of common stock and OP Units at the time an applicable earnout tranche may be earned and paid.

Should all earnout milestones be met, an additional 272 shares of common stock and an additional 465 OP Units would be issued, in addition to amounts payable in cash. As of the Internalization date, the Company estimated that the earnout liability had a fair value of $40,119, of which approximately $33,511 relates to the potential issuance of common shares and OP Units and approximately $6,608 relates to the potential payment of cash. The Company will estimate the fair value of the earnout liability at each reporting date during the contingency period and record any changes in estimated fair value in its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

~~Redemption Rights Agreement~~

The mezzanine equity common shares and OP Units are economically equivalent to permanent equity common shares and OP Units with the exception of certain contingent redemption rights that are not yet exercisable as of March 31, 2020. If an IPO does not occur on or before December 31, 2020, then each holder of mezzanine equity common shares and OP Units shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such holder’s shares and OP Units at a price equal to the greater of (i) the initial fair value of $85 of the common shares or OP Units at the date of the Internalization or (ii) the current fair value of such common shares or OP Units, as adjusted for interest and distributions. Such repurchases can occur during the period from January 1, 2021 until the earlier of 12 months thereafter or the date of an IPO; provided that the period shall not begin on January 1, 2021 if the Company, in connection with an IPO, shall have filed a registration statement with the SEC that has not been withdrawn as of January 1, 2021 (but the period shall begin immediately upon any such withdrawal and then continue until the earlier of 12 months thereafter or until the occurrence of an IPO); provided, further, that the period shall begin no later than July 1, 2021 (even if such registration statement shall not have been withdrawn as of July 1, 2021) and in such event shall continue until the earlier of twelve (12) months thereafter or the occurrence of an IPO. The Merger Agreement did not provide that the completion of an IPO is a condition to the closing of the Internalization.

If an IPO does not occur on or before the satisfaction of any Earnout Trigger, then each holder of common shares or OP Units issued under the earnout shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such holder’s shares or OP Units at a price equal to the greater of (i) the initial fair value of $85 of the common shares at the date of the Internalization or (ii) the current fair value of such common shares, as adjusted for interest and distributions. Such repurchases can occur during the period from the date of issuance of such earnout shares until the earlier of 12 months thereafter or the occurrence of an IPO; provided, further, that such period shall not begin on such date of issuance if the Company, in connection with an IPO, shall have filed a registration statement with the SEC that has not been withdrawn as of such date of issuance (but such period shall begin immediately upon any such withdrawal and then continue until the earlier of 12 months thereafter or the occurrence of an IPO; provided, further, that such period shall begin no later than six months after such date of issuance (even if such registration statement shall not have been withdrawn as of such date) and in such event shall continue until the earlier of 12 months thereafter or the occurrence of an IPO.

The Internalization was accounted for as a business combination and accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase price utilizing the acquisition method to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

The allocation of the purchase price has not been finalized and is based upon preliminary estimates of these fair values, which is the best available information at the current time. The final determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities will be based on the actual valuations of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities that existed as of the date of completion of the acquisition, including the valuation of the earnout liability. The Company expects to finalize the valuations during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of the Internalization. Consequently, amounts preliminarily allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities could change.

In connection with the Internalization, the Company recorded goodwill of $339,769 as a result of the consideration exceeding the fair value of the net liabilities acquired. Goodwill represents the synergies and costs savings expected from the acquired management functions and the Company’s ability to generate additional portfolio growth on a lower cost structure than when it was externally managed. The Company does not expect that the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

In connection with the Internalization, the Company assumed $90,484 of debt which was subsequently repaid through a combination of borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and entering into a new $60,000 term loan agreement (see Note 9).

The Company incurred $1,205 in non-recurring costs associated with the Internalization during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were classified as Internalization expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

The effect of the Internalization has been reflected in the Company’s operating results beginning on February 7, 2020. No incremental revenues were recorded as a result of the Internalization. From February 7, 2020 to March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $3,662 in expenses as a result of being internalized, which include general and administrative expenses associated with the Company’s performance of functions previously performed by BRE and the Asset Manager (primarily employee related costs), as well as interest expense associated with the borrowings related to the Internalization. These expenses do not include the $1,205 non-recurring costs discussed above.

Condensed Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following pro forma information summarizes selected financial information from the Company’s combined results of operations, as if the Internalization had occurred on January 1, 2019. These results contain certain adjustments totaling $5,646 ~~and $6,377~~ of income ~~respectively,~~ for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020 and 2019.~~2020. These pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination of Internalization expenses and asset management, property management, and disposition fees between the Company and BRE and the Asset Manager in historic financial results, and adjustments to reflect compensation and related costs, incremental general and administrative expenses related to the Internalization, and incremental interest expense associated with the borrowing related to the Internalization. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only, and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the Internalization occurred at the beginning of the period, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.

7. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements

The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, retail, and other industries. At March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had ~~616~~644 real estate properties which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases, ~~and 15~~10 that have been classified as direct financing ~~leases.~~leases, and 1 that has been classified as a sales-type lease. Of the 1510 leases classified as direct financing leases, ~~four~~3 include land portions which are accounted for as operating ~~leases (see~~ ~~Revenue Recognition~~ ~~within Note 2).~~leases. The sales-type lease includes a land portion which is accounted for as an operating lease. Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years. The Company’s leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the CPI, or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, tenants are also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide for one or more multiple year renewal options, at the election of the tenant, and are subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

The Company is subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to its unsecured credit agreements. These covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including leverage, fixed charge coverage, and debt service coverage, among others. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its loan covenants. The Company’s continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 17), and thus there are no assurances that the Company will continue to be in compliance with its covenants. Failure to comply with the covenants would result in a default which, if the Company were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment of the obligations. Further, in the event of default, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends to its stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain its REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material and adverse impact on the Company.

11. Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swaps were entered into with certain financial institutions in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability over the term of the related debt agreements. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. In order to reduce counterparty concentration risk, the Company has a diversification policy for institutions that serve as swap counterparties. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly payments from the counterparties on these interest rate swaps equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. Certain interest rate swaps amortize on a monthly basis. In turn, the Company pays the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that the Company pays a fixed interest rate on its variable-rate borrowings.

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements:

Amounts related to the interest rate swaps expected to be reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense during the next twelve months are estimated to be a loss of ~~$14,802.~~$15,776. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of the swaps. The Company minimizes the risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.

12. Credit Risk Concentrations

The Company maintained bank balances that, at times, exceeded the federally insured limit during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company has not experienced losses relating to these deposits and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these amounts.

Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, the Company’s rental property was managed by BRE and the Asset Manager as described in Note 3. Management fees paid to BRE and Asset Manager represented 8% and 19% of total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts do not include acquisition fees paid to the Asset Manager that were capitalized (see Note 3). The Company has mortgages ~~and notes payable~~ with three institutions that comprised ~~62%~~63%, 16%, and 10% of total mortgages ~~and notes payable~~ at March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had no0 individual tenants or common franchises that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.

13. Equity

~~Share Redemption Program~~General

On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its IPO and issued 37,000 shares of Class A Common Stock inclusive of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020.

Aside from the conversion discussed below, the terms of the Class A Common Stock were identical to the terms of the Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock on March 20, 2021, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the ticker “BNL.” The ~~Share Redemption Program was terminated effective~~Common Stock and Class A Common Stock are collectively referred to as the Corporation’s “common stock.”

14. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Awards

On March 1, 2021 and August 4, 2020, the Company awarded 199 and 341 shares of RSAs, respectively, under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain officers and employees. The holder of RSAs is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted common shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The March 1, 2021 RSAs vest over a one, three or four year period from the date of grant. The August 4, 2020 RSAs vest over a three or four year period from the anniversaries of February ~~10, 2020, and as a result there were no redemptions during the three months ended March 31,~~7, 2020.

The ~~DRIP~~August 4, 2020 grant date fair value per share of $20.50 was ~~terminated effective February 10, 2020. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a total~~based on the determined share value established by the Board of ~~3,075 and 3,005~~Directors (“Determined Share Value”). Prior to the IPO, the Company sold shares of common stock ~~respectively, have been~~in a private offering at a price equal to the Determined Share Value, which was established at least quarterly by the Board of Directors based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Board of Directors determined. The Company’s NAV was calculated using its established valuation process, starting with an estimate of the fair value of the properties in the portfolio as of that date based upon, among other factors, the implied market price for each asset based upon a review of market capitalization rates. The March 1, 2021 grant date fair value per share of $18.66 was based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued target grants of 132 PRSUs under the ~~DRIP.~~Equity Incentive Plan to the officers of the Company. The awards are non-vested restricted stock units where the vesting percentages and the ultimate number of units vesting will be measured 50% based on the relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of peer companies over a three-year period, as identified in the grant agreements, and 50% based on the rTSR of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of the MSCI US REIT Index over a three year measurement period. The payout schedules can produce vesting percentages ranging from 0% to 200% with a target of 100%. rTSR means the percentage appreciation in the fair market value of one share over the three-year measurement period beginning on the date of grant, assuming the reinvestment of dividends on the ex-dividend date. The target number of units is based on achieving a rTSR equal to the 55^th percentile of the peer companies and MSCI US REIT Index. Dividends accrue during the measurement period and will be paid on the PRSUs ultimately earned at the end of the measurement period in either cash or common stock, at the direction of the Board’s Compensation Committee. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on assumptions including share price volatility.

Represents the weighted average effects of 416 unvested restricted shares of common stock as of March 31, 2021, which will be excluded from the computation of earnings per share until they vest. The shares of restricted common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of doing so would have been anti-dilutive.

^(b)

Represents the weighted average effects of 11,361 and 12,226 OP Units outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. OP Units are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. However, because such OP Units would also require that the share of the net income attributable to such OP units also be added back to net income, there is no effect to EPS.

In the table above, outstanding OP Units are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. However, because such OP Units would also require that the share of the OP income attributable to such OP Units also be added back to net income, there is no effect on EPS.

~~16.~~17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Property and Acquisition Related

In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for ~~cost~~costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance, liability, claim, or other environmental condition that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Company is a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and to the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement in connection with the ~~Internalization (see Note 3).~~Internalization. The tax protection agreements require the Company to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, orand in the case of the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is required to allocate an amount of nonrecourse liabilities to each beneficiary that is at least equal to the minimum liability amount, as contained in the agreements. The minimum liability amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the OP level, and do not represent GAAP accounting. Therefore, there is no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on values as of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the ~~Agreements~~agreements of approximately $22,300. Based on information available, the Company does not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future.

Obligations Under Operating Leases

Subsequent to the Internalization, ~~(see Note 4),~~ the Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters and other locations under non-cancellable operating leases with ~~remaining lease terms~~expiration dates ranging from ~~2020~~2021 to 2023. These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement. The lease for the corporate headquarters is with ~~a related party (see Note 3).~~an affiliated third party.

The Company also leases land at certain properties under non-cancellable operating leases (“ground leases”) with initial lease terms ranging from 2034 to 2066. These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. One lease requires the Company to make annual rent payments calculated based upon sales generated at the property (“percentage rent”). None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement.

~~17.~~18. Subsequent Events

On April 15, 2021, the Company paid distributions totaling $39,293.

On April 30, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.255 per share on the Company’s common stock and OP Units for the second quarter of 2021, which will be payable on or before July 15, 2021 to stockholders and unit holders of record as of June 30, 2021.

Subsequent to March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the OPCompany drew additional borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate amount of ~~$25,000.~~

On May 5, 2020, the Company gave notice that it was exercising the first of two six-month extension options available under the terms of the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan Agreement (see Note 9), effective as of August 2, 2020, and extending the maturity date of the loan to February 2, 2021, subject to certain customary conditions and in exchange for the payment of a 0.05% fee payable on August 2, 2020.

Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company paid $13,160 in distributions. At its May 7, 2020 meeting, the Board of Directors undertook a full review of the Company’s rent collection results for April, preliminary collection results for May, the outlook for collections in future months, and the Company’s overall liquidity position. Given the economic uncertainty and rapidly evolving circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic (discussed below) and current tenant rent relief requests, to preserve cash and strengthen the Company’s liquidity position, the Board of Directors determined that it would temporarily suspend the Company’s monthly distribution. The previously announced distribution of $0.44 per common share and OP Unit for the month of April 2020 will be paid on May 15, 2020. The Board of Directors will re-evaluate whether or not to reinstate a distribution at its August 2020 meeting.

On May 7, 2020, the Board of Directors determined the share value for the Corporation’s common stock to be $82.00 per share for the period May 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020. However, as previously disclosed, on January 10, 2020, the Company suspended its private offering of shares of its common stock until further notice.

Through May 7, 2020, the Company sold three properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $8,994 for total proceeds of $10,538. The Company incurred additional expenses related to the sales of approximately $489, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $1,055.

~~COVID-19 Pandemic~~

Since its discovery in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, has spread throughout most countries of the world, including the United States. The outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services has declared a public health emergency in the United States. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many local, state and federal governments have instituted “stay at home” or “shelter in place” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, which resulted in closure of many businesses deemed to be non-essential. Many of the Company’s tenants, in particular those who operate in the retail and restaurant industries, depend on in-person interactions with customers to generate unit-level profitability, and have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, as have businesses who supply products and services to these industries. As a result, in March and subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company received rent relief requests from 68 tenants representing approximately 36.3% of annualized contractual revenues. The Company is in various stages of discussion with these tenants and currently expects to grant relief to some of its tenants to defer rent payments as a result of their estimated lost revenues from the current COVID-19 pandemic; however, there can be no assurance the Company will reach an agreement with any tenant or if an agreement is reached, that any such tenant will be able to repay any such deferred rent in the future. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, income, expenses, and ability to pay distributions cannot be determined at this time and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impact on the Company’s tenants, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. For further discussion of the COVID-19 outbreak, refer to Part II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We acquire, own, and manage primarily single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to a diversified group of tenants. Since our inception in 2007, we have selectively invested in net leased assets in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail property ~~types, and as~~types. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our portfolio has grown to ~~635~~661 properties, with 660 properties located in 41 U.S. states and one property located in ~~Canada, with an aggregate gross asset value of $4.0 billion.~~British Columbia, Canada.

We focus on investing in real estate that is operated by creditworthy single tenants in industries characterized by positive business drivers and ~~trends, where the~~trends. We target properties that are an integral part of the tenants’ businesses and for which there are therefore opportunities to secure long-term net leases. Through long-term net leases, our tenants are able to retain operational control of their strategically important locations, while allocating their debt and equity capital to fund their core business operations rather than real estate ownership.

Diversified Portfolio. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our portfolio comprised approximately ~~27.4~~28.4 million rentable square feet of operational space, and was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and ~~industry:~~industry, and is cross-diversified within each (e.g., property-type diversification within a geographic concentration):

Property Type: We are focused primarily on industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail property types based on our extensive experience in and conviction around these sectors. Within these sectors, we have meaningful concentrations in manufacturing, distribution and warehouse, clinical, casual dining, quick service restaurant, strategic operations, corporate headquarters, food processing, flex/research and development, and cold storage.

Geographic Diversity: Our properties are located in 41 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada, with no single geographic concentration exceeding ~~10.3%~~10.2% of our ABR.

Tenant and Industry Diversity: Our properties are occupied by approximately ~~181~~185 different commercial tenants who operate ~~167~~171 different brands that are diversified across 5455 differing industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than ~~2.9%~~2.4% of our ABR.

Strong In-Place Leases with Significant Remaining Lease Term. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, our portfolio was approximately ~~99.6%~~99.7% leased based on rentable square footage with an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately ~~11.3~~10.6 years, excluding renewal options.

Standard Contractual Base Rent Escalation. Approximately ~~98.4%~~98.2% of our leases have contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.1%.

Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting. Approximately ~~87.6%~~88.1% of our ABR is received from tenants that are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis. An additional ~~4.5%~~7.1% of our ABR is received from tenants ~~that are public companies, and required to file financial statements with the SEC, although they~~who are not required to provide us with specified financial information under the terms of our ~~lease.~~lease, but whose financial statements are available publicly, either through SEC filings or otherwise.

~~Recent Developments — COVID-19 Pandemic~~

The rapidly evolving circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in deep economic uncertainty and far-reaching impacts on almost every business and industry in the country. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries and U.S. states, including the areas in which we operate, have adopted certain measures to mitigate the ongoing public health crises. Such measures include “shelter in place” or “stay at home” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate in many countries and U.S. states. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted nearly every industry directly or indirectly.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. While we are still in the early stages of navigating the actual and potential impacts the pandemic will have on our tenants and our business, the sections below summarize developments subsequent to quarter-end and management’s view of the potential impacts the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and other various company-specific matters. For more discussion on the COVID-19 outbreak, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

~~Impact to Results of Operations~~

Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Key factors that typically impact our results of operations and financial condition, which may be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, include rental rates, property dispositions, lease renewals and occupancy, acquisition volume, net lease terms, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, tenant bankruptcies, and impairments.

~~Rental Rates~~

~~Our financial results depend on~~Real Estate Portfolio Information

The following charts summarize our ~~ability to timely collect contractual rents due under our long-term net leases. We collected approximately 98% of rents due~~portfolio diversification by property type, tenant, brand, industry and geographic location as of March 31, ~~2020; however, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact~~2021. The percentages below are calculated based on ~~us has primarily manifested through tenant requests for rent relief, which we started to receive in late March 2020.

Although the requests range in scope, the most common request is for a full or partial rent deferment for three months, with repayment over a six- to 12-month period following the reinstatement of regular rent payments. In certain cases, we are also negotiating for lease extensions or the early exercise of a tenant renewal option in addition to the repayment of the deferred rent. We have not agreed to any rent forgiveness or permanent abatement and are only negotiating rent deferrals. There are several tenants that have requested rent relief that we believe are well positioned to continue making rent payments during this period. Many of those tenants have strong balance sheets and liquidity positions, have applied for or received Paycheck Protection Program loan funding under the CARES Act, or are designated as essential and can continue to operate despite restrictions on other businesses. At this point, we have declined to agree to any rent relief in those circumstances and are seeking to collect the full amount of rent that is due but cannot provide any assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of our ongoing discussions.

Despite the extent of requests, we have collected 87.8% of rents due for April 2020, and through May 6, 2020, have collected 77.5% of rents due for May 2020. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and our tenants’ ability to return to business after governmental restrictions are lifted will have a significant impact on our ability to continue to collect rents.

In circumstances where we agree to a rent deferral that is repaid over a period of time, and where the terms of the lease and amounts paid under the lease are substantially the same, we will continue to recognize the same amount of GAAP lease revenue each period to the extent the amounts are probable of collection. The amounts we agree to defer will impact our cash flows from operations, and may impact the amount of AFFO we recognize each period. Refer to ~~Impact to Liquidity and Capital Resources~~ ~~below for further discussion.~~Diversification by Geography

~~Property Dispositions~~

From time to time, we will strategically dispose of properties, primarily where we believe the risk profile has changed and become misaligned with our then current risk-adjusted return objectives. The resulting gains or losses on dispositions may materially impact our operating results, and the recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market at the time a property is listed for sale. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen a significant slowdown in real estate transactions. We were able to dispose of certain properties at the end of the first quarter and early in the second quarter that were already under contract and substantially along in the disposition process, and used the proceeds to bolster our liquidity position. In the short term, however, the slowdown in market activity may inhibit our ability to dispose of properties we have identified for disposition, including those that experience significant credit deterioration as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the price at which we are able to sell the properties may be impacted. Management believes the market slowdowns are temporary, and will dispose of properties as opportunities become available.

Lease ~~Renewals and Occupancy~~Expirations

As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the ABR weighted average remaining term of our leases was approximately ~~11.3 years, excluding~~10.6 years. Less than 5% of the properties in our portfolio are subject to leases without at least one renewal ~~options. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 8.5%~~option. Approximately 44.9% of our rental revenue was derived from leases ~~(based on ABR)~~that will expire after 2030, and no more than 9.0% of our rental revenue was derived from leases that expire in any single year prior to ~~January 1, 2025.~~2030. The stability of the rental revenue generated by our properties depends principally on our tenants’ ability to pay rent and our ability to collect rents, renew expiring leases or re-lease space upon the expiration or other termination of leases, lease currently vacant properties, and maintain or increase rental rates at our leased properties. To the extent our properties become vacant, we would forego rental income while remaining responsible for the payment of property taxes and maintaining the property until it is re-leased, which could negatively impact our operating results. Our occupancy rates have remained strong subsequent to quarter-end, standing at 99.5% based on rentable square footage as of April 30, 2020, and we continue to monitor the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on our tenants.

Our historical growth in revenues and earnings has been achieved through rent escalations associated with existing in-place leases, coupled with rental income generated from accretive property acquisitions. Our ability to grow revenue will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to identify and complete acquisitions that meet our investment criteria. Changes in capitalization rates, interest rates, or other factors may impact our acquisition opportunities in the future. Market conditions may also impact the total returns we can achieve on our investments. Our acquisition volume also depends on our ability to access third-party debt and equity financing to fund our capital needs. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a slowdown in acquisition volume, and we have strategically redeployed our acquisitions team to assist with the influx of requests for rent relief, including performing credit analysis and negotiating deferments with tenants. During these uncertain times we are focused on preserving shareholder value. We will continue to monitor the pandemic’s impact to capitalization rates, interest rates, and access and cost of equity and debt capital, and return to our focus on growth through acquisitions and execution on our de-leveraging initiatives when it is prudent to do so.

~~Net Lease Terms~~

Substantially all of our leases are net leases pursuant to which our tenant generally is obligated to pay all expenses associated with the leased property including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs. A limited number of leases require us to pay some or all of the property expenses such as the cost of environmental liabilities, roof and structure repairs, real estate taxes, insurance, or certain non-structural repairs and maintenance. An increase in the number of leases in which we are responsible for some or all of these expenses could negatively influence our operating results. Additionally, we seek to use master lease structures where it fits market practice in the particular property type, pursuant to which we seek to lease multiple properties to a single tenant on an all or none basis. Master leases strengthen our ability to preserve rental revenue and prevent costs associated with vacancies for underperforming properties. We believe the master lease structure is most prevalent and applicable to leases in our restaurant and retail property types, while less relevant to our other property types, such as healthcare and industrial. As of March 31, 2020, master leases contributed approximately 36.3% of our overall ABR (our largest master lease by ABR related to 24 properties and contributed 2.5% of our ABR, and our smallest master lease by ABR related to two properties and contributed 0.1% of our ABR), 74.1% of our restaurant property ABR (164 of our 245 restaurant properties), and 68.0% of our retail property ABR (85 of our 128 retail properties).

As we review requests for rent relief and consider granting limited deferments, we are focused on ensuring our contractual rights under the leases are preserved, and are evaluating opportunities to create value by negotiating enhanced financial reporting under the leases and the possibility for lease extensions or early lease renewals. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, presents certain risks of modifications tofollowing chart sets forth our lease terms, including certain rights we have under master leases and the risk of tenants’ failure to meet their lease obligations, including the risk that the prolonged exposure forces tenants into bankruptcy.

~~Interest Expense~~

We anticipate that we will continue to incur debt in the future in order to fund future acquisition activity, which will increase the amount of interest expense we incur. In addition, although we attempt to limit our total floating-rate debt exposure, changes in the interest rate environment could either increase or decrease our weighted average interest rate in the future. Any changes to our debt structure or debt financing associated with property acquisitions, could materially influence our operating results depending onexpirations based upon the terms of ~~any such debt.~~

~~We have seen a decrease~~the leases in interest rates as the U.S. federal government attempts to combat the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we have been able to take advantage of on approximately $653.3 million of floating rate borrowingsplace as of March 31, ~~2020. Our floating rate borrowings bear interest at variable rates equal to LIBOR plus a margin~~2021.

The following table presents certain information based on ~~our credit rating. The one-month LIBOR rate decreased from 1.76% at December 31, 2019, to 0.99% at March 31, 2020. Additionally, as~~lease expirations by year. Amounts are in thousands, except for number of April 30, 2020, the one-month LIBOR rate was 0.33%. Simultaneously, restrictions in credit markets have resulted in an increase in borrowing spreads across the debt capital markets. Approximately $240 million of our borrowings under our 2020 Unsecured Term Loan have a maturity within one year. On May 5, 2020, we gave notice that we were exercising the first of two available extension options effective upon the original maturity date of the debt in August 2020, subject to our being in compliance with the debt covenants and customary representations and warranties, and payment of a fee equal to 0.05% of the outstanding principal balance at that time. Accordingly, we do not expect the increase in borrowing spreads to have a material impact to us at this time.properties.

~~In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and discussed further below in~~ ~~Impact to Liquidity and Capital Resources~~, we have bolstered our liquidity profile and cash on hand position, with approximately $95.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted 1031 funds at March 31, 2020. We have typically used a portion of these funds, in addition to cash generated by operating activities, to pay down our Revolving Credit Facility balances. Accordingly, the increased cash position and corresponding leverage balances will result in increased interest expense. We are committed to an investment grade balance sheet, and plan to deleverage once the capital markets have improved.

~~General and Administrative Expenses~~

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation and related costs, third party legal, accounting, and consulting costs, travel and entertainment, and general office expenses. We transitioned to a work from home policy effective on March 16, 2020, successfully migrating approximately 71 employees out of the office. Given our limited headcount, we have not incurred a material amount of cash outlays on information technology or infrastructure to facilitate our newly remote workforce, and do not believe we will incur significant costs in the future. We expect a significant decrease in travel and entertainment expenses, as social distancing guidelines and restrictions have limited corporate travel. These benefits, however, may be outweighed by incremental third party legal, accounting, and consulting costs as we navigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Tenant Bankruptcies~~

Adverse economic conditions, particularly those that affect the markets in which our properties are located, or downturns in our tenants’ industries could impair our tenants’ ability to meet their lease obligations to us and our ability to renew expiring leases or re-lease space. In particular, the bankruptcy of one or more of our tenants could adversely affect our ability to collect rents from such tenant and maintain our portfolio’s occupancy.

~~Impairments~~

We review long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. Significant judgment is made as to if and when impairment should be taken. If our strategy, or one or more of the assumptions described above were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized. As of March 31, 2020, we have not identified any impairment triggering events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including tenant requests for rent relief, but we have yet to see the long-term effects of the pandemic and the extent to which it may impact our tenants in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in our view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or changes in our long-term hold strategies, could be indicative of an impairment triggering event.

~~Impact to Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

We have taken proactive measures to bolster our liquidity profile, including borrowing an additional $75 million on our Revolving Credit Facility at quarter end, $25 million of which was funded subsequent to quarter end, strategically reverting approximately $35 million of 1031 proceeds originally planned to be reinvested in replacement properties, and holding onto cash generated from rentals that otherwise would have been used to pay down our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $95.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted 1031 cash not yet reverted to our operating account, excluding the additional $25 million Revolving Credit Facility borrowing funded on April 2, 2020. Given the economic uncertainty and rapidly evolving circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic and current tenant requests for rent relief, we intend to evaluate all options for preserving cash and strengthening our liquidity position. As discussed below, at its May 7, 2020 meeting, our board of directors determined that we would temporarily suspend our monthly distribution. The board of directors will re-evaluate whether to reinstate the dividend at its August 2020 meeting. We intend to maintain REIT status, and to make a special distribution in 2020 in order to maintain REIT status if it becomes necessary to do so.

Under the terms of our credit agreements, we must maintain ratios of total indebtedness to total market value, and total unsecured indebtedness to total unencumbered eligible property value (together, “leverage covenant ratios”), of less than 60%, measured as of each quarter end. At March 31, 2020, we believe we were in compliance with all required covenants. In addition to our cash on hand, we also have $246.7 million of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, and $100 million of available capacity in the form of an accordion feature on our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan. Taking into consideration our leverage covenant ratios, however, as of March 31, 2020 we had $50.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our covenants, excluding the $25 million revolver draw subsequent to quarter end. We believe the cash on-hand, available capacity on our credit facilities, including the restrictions imposed by our covenant ratios, and our ability to manage distributions provide us with the ability to meet all current obligations, including maintaining our REIT status, for at least the next four quarters prior to collecting another dollar of rent.

In addition to these factors, the total market value and total unencumbered eligible property value included in our leverage covenant ratios are computed in part based on a computation of portfolio net operating income, which takes into consideration contractual rents with exclusions for certain aged delinquencies and tenant defaults, divided by a stated market capitalization rate. Management believes we were in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2020, and we believe it is probable we will continue to be in compliance. However, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact to tenants is not yet known, and could result in significantly aged delinquencies and tenant defaults, which have a direct impact to our leverage covenant ratios. Accordingly, there are no assurances

~~that we will continue to comply with our covenants. See further discussion concerning our liquidity in~~ ~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~ ~~below.~~

~~Other Considerations~~

~~Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls~~

We have taken proactive steps to maintain an appropriate internal control environment while migrating our workforce to a work from home dynamic. Our access to technology and online communications has required minimal changes to controls, none of which we deem material. We believe our existing disclosure controls are appropriate to address the reporting complexities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Recent Developments — Internalization~~

In order to benefit from increasing economies of scale as we continue to grow, our board of directors made the decision to internalize our management structure, which was completed on February 7, 2020. In connection with the Internalization, we terminated our management agreements with BRE, entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers, and began directly employing 71 former employees of BRE. Our historical results of operations through February 7, 2020, include the payment of management fees that we will no longer pay following the Internalization and do not include the direct compensation expense associated with our 71 employees, or certain professional fees, consulting, portfolio servicing costs, and other general and administrative expenses not previously incurred based upon our externally managed structure. Additional details of the Internalization include the following:

~~As consideration in the Internalization, we issued~~ ~~780,893~~ ~~shares of our common stock, and the OP issued~~ ~~1,319,513 OP Units and we and the OP paid $31.0 million~~ in cash, for aggregate consideration of approximately $209.5 million, and the OP assumed approximately $90.5 million of debt. Concurrent with the closing, we refinanced $60 million of the assumed debt with a new loan that is guaranteed by Amy L. Tait, ~~our founder and Chairman, and certain members of her family (“Founding Owners”), and repaid the remaining $30.5 million using borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility~~.

In addition to the consideration paid immediately following the Mergers, the Merger Agreement provides that additional “earnout” consideration of up to an aggregate of up to $75 million (payable in four tranches of $10 million, $15 million, $25 million, and $25 million) will be due and payable to the former owners of BRE if certain milestones related to either (a) the 40-day dollar volume-weighted average price of our common stock on the principal exchange or securities market (or over-the-counter market) on which our common stock are then traded, following the completion of an IPO, or (b) our adjusted funds from operations per share, prior to the completion of an IPO, are achieved during specified periods of time following the completion of the Internalization. Should all earnout milestones be met, an additional 272,250 shares of common stock and 464,820 OP Units would be issued. The earnout liability has an estimated fair value of $40.1 million at the time of the Internalization.

~~We entered into a registration rights agreement with our founding owners and Trident BRE, LLC and its affiliates, and the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement.~~

Results of Operations

~~Overview~~

As of March 31, 2020, our real estate investment portfolio had a gross asset value of approximately $4.0 billion, consisting of investments in 635 commercial real estate properties with locations in 41 states and one real estate property located in British Columbia, Canada, and leased to tenants in various industries.

The increase in Lease revenues, net was primarily attributable to growth in our real estate portfolio through accretive property acquisitions during the fourth quarter of 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we invested $100.3 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 19 properties at a weighted average initial cash cap rate of 6.9%. Most of these acquisitions closed during the month of December, and therefore did not materially contribute to Lease revenues, net for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2020, was primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio, which was achieved through accretive property acquisitions during 2019, weighted towards the second half of the year, and continued strong portfolio operating performance. In 2019, we significantly increased the size of our portfolio, adding 74 new properties at a price of approximately $1.0 billion, excluding capitalized acquisition costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we experienced approximately 98% rent collection and 99.5% occupancy (based on rentable square footage). As of March 31, 2020, the ABR weighted average annual rent increases on our properties was 2.1%.2020.

~~Depreciation and amortization~~

~~The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, is primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio.~~

~~Asset management fees and Property management fees~~

Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, we paid our third-party manager a quarterly fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate value of our equity on a fully diluted basis, based on the determined share value established by our board of directors (“Determined Share Value”). Additionally, we paid our third-party manager a monthly fee equal to 3% of gross rentals collected from our real estate portfolio as compensation for its property management services. Upon completion of the Internalization, the agreements with the third-party manager were terminated, resulting in a decrease in these expenses as compared to the prior year period. Our management fees were replaced by compensation and related costs associated with an internalized management structure, and corresponding general and administrative expenses.

The increase in general and administrative expenses mainly reflects increased severance associated with the ~~impact~~departure of the Internalization, and our employment of approximately 71 employees. At such time, our asset and property management fees were replaced with compensation and related expenses, which totaled $2.8 millionan executive officer during the three months ended March 31, 2020, along with associated general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense

The ~~increased~~decrease in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulted primarily from an increase in average outstanding borrowings as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, due mainly to the incurrence of indebtedness associated withreflects a ~~significant acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, and incremental borrowings associated with the Internalization, partially offset by a 61 basis point~~ decrease in our weighted average cost of ~~debt, inclusive~~borrowings combined with decreased average outstanding borrowings in the comparable period. In January 2021, we received an initial credit rating of BBB with a stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), which had the effect of lowering the applicable margin on our ~~interest rate swaps. We were able to take advantage~~then existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021, as well as a 20 basis point decrease in the ~~decreasing interest rates since March 31, 2019, as our percentage of floating-rate debt increased concurrently with our funding of the aforementioned acquisition.~~applicable margin on Revolving Credit Facility borrowings.

~~Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices~~by an additional 60 basis points, and demand in the real estate market. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized gains of $7.6 million on the sale of 10 properties, compared to gains of $1.4 million on the sale of four properties during the three months ended March 31, 2019.simultaneously repaid $50 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $1.2 million of third-party fees and consulting expenses associated with the Internalization that closed on February 7, 2020. We expect incremental internalization expenses in the future to be limited to third party legal and accounting fees related to residual work in connection with the transaction.

Change in fair value of earnout liability

As part of the Internalization, we may be required to pay additional earnout consideration if certain milestones are achieved during the Earnout Periods. We record the fair value of this contingent consideration ~~as an Earnout liability~~ in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and update the fair value at the end of each reporting period. To the extent the change in fair value relates to a portion of the earnout consideration that is classified as a liability, we record the change through earnings. We estimate the fair value of the earnout liability by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis to estimate fair value. These estimates require ~~the Company~~us to make various assumptions about future share prices, ~~timing of an IPO,~~ and other items that are unobservable and are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The change in the fair value of the earnout liability during the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflects a decrease in our share price as compared to December 31, 2020.

The increase in Lease revenues, net, was primarily attributable to growth in our real estate portfolio through accretive property acquisitions during 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we invested $100.3 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 19 properties at a weighted average initial cash cap rate of 6.9%. Most of these acquisitions closed during the month of December, and therefore did not contribute to Lease revenues, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Asset management fees and Property management fees

The decrease in asset management fees and property management fees was due to the completion of the Internalization in February 2020, which terminated the associated agreements with our third-party manager.

General and administrative

The increase in general and administrative expenses mainly reflects the impact of the Internalization associated with our newly acquired employee base. Following the Internalization, our asset and property management fees were replaced with compensation and related expenses, along with associated general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we ~~recorded an earnout liability~~recognized $2.0 million of ~~$40.1~~impairment on our investments in rental properties, compared to $2.1 million ~~through our preliminary purchase price allocation, which increased to $44.3 million as of~~during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

~~Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO and AFFO)~~

Our reported results and net earnings per diluted share are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose FFO and AFFO, each of which are non-GAAP measures. We believe the presentation of FFO and AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Interest expense

The decrease in interest expense primarily reflects a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings, combined with a decrease in our weighted average cost of debt extinguishments, amortization of lease intangibles, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of net mortgage premiums, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, internalization expenses, extraordinary items, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that such items are not a result of normal operations and thusborrowings. In September 2020, we ~~believe excluding such items assists management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors.~~

~~Our leases include cash rents that increase over~~used the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rentals over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates. We further exclude costs or gains recorded on the extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense and gains, the amortization of debt issuance costs, net mortgage premiums, and lease intangibles, realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, and internalization expenses, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operational results. We use AFFO as a measureproceeds of our ~~performance when~~IPO to repay $456.7 million of outstanding borrowings, including accrued interest, significantly reducing our leverage profile. In January 2021, we ~~formulate corporate goals.~~

~~FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons~~received an initial credit rating of ~~operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes~~BBB with a stable outlook from S&P, which had the effect of ~~real estate depreciation~~lowering the applicable margin on our then existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021.

Gain on ~~sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value~~sale of real estate ~~diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating~~

Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on ~~existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without~~fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the ~~distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons~~real estate market.During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized gains of ~~our FFO and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.~~

These factors were partially offset by ~~revenue growth of $9.8~~a $2.9 million ~~combined with a $6.2 million increase~~decrease in ~~gains~~the gain on sale of real estate.

GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons. These fluctuations, combined with increased general and administrative expenses and the increase in our weighted average shares outstanding, contributed to the $0.21 decrease in net earnings per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

~~AFFO~~

The increase in AFFO during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, was primarily driven by revenue growth, which resulted from rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, accretive acquisitions and strong portfolio operating performance, as well as a $3.3 million decrease in asset and property management fees as a result of terminating the associated agreements in connection with the Internalization. These factors were partially offset by a $4.7 million increase in general and administrative expense related to incremental compensation and related costs associated with an internalized management structure, and a $5.2 million increase in interest expense associated with incremental borrowings.

The $0.01 decrease in AFFO per diluted share was primarily due to the short-term dilution caused by the immediate increase in BNL’s weighted average shares outstanding resulting from the consideration paid in conjunction with the Internalization. Upon consummation of the transaction in February, BNL began recognizing cash flow and AFFO benefits due to the immediate cost savings achieved by operating the REIT with an internalized management structure, as compared to the recurring management fees and transaction-based fees incurred under its previous externally-managed structure. Although the full dilutive effect of shares outstanding was recognized at the time of the transaction, we expect the continued cost savings to be substantial and to translate into accretive results on a per share basis over time as the cash flow and AFFO benefits are recognized. Further, we expect this accretion will continue to increase as we grow our portfolio and recognize economies of scale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We acquire real estate using a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. We are committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet through active management of our leverage profile and overall liquidity position. We believe our leverage ~~model~~strategy has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by our investment grade credit ~~rating~~ratings of BBB from S&P and Baa3 from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with lenders and with rating agencies regarding our credit rating. We seek to maintain on a sustained basis a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio that is generally less than 6.0x. As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had total debt outstanding of $1.5 billion, Net Debt of $1.5 billion, and a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of approximately 5.25x.

Net Debt and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated based upon EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre, each of which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Non-GAAP Measures below for further details concerning our ~~leverage ratio was 45.7%~~calculation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the ~~approximate market value of our assets, compared to 45.8% as of December 31, 2019.~~comparable GAAP measure.

Liquidity/REIT Requirements

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including our ongoing commitments to repay debt, fund our operations, acquire properties, make distributions to our stockholders, and other general business needs. As a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, on an annual basis. As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances to meet our long-term liquidity needs, including repayment of debt and the acquisition of additional properties, from our annual taxable income. Instead, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs primarily by relying upon external sources of capital.

Short-term Liquidity Requirements

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses as well as interest payments on our outstanding debt, and to pay distributions. ~~Since our portfolio has a strong occupancy level and substantially all of our leases are net leases, we~~We do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property ~~costs.~~costs because of the strong occupancy levels across our portfolio and the nature of our leases. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash and cash equivalents balances and net cash provided by operating activities, ~~and borrowing~~supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. ~~Additionally, our $240 million 2020 Unsecured Term Loan matures~~

As detailed in ~~August 2020, at which time~~the contractual obligations table below, we have approximately $61.7 million of expected obligations due to be paid throughout the ~~option~~remainder of 2021, primarily consisting of $17.2 million of mortgage maturities, and $43.1 million of interest expense due, including the impact of our interest rate swaps. We expect our cash provided by operating activities, as discussed below, will be sufficient to ~~extend~~pay for our current obligations including interest expense on our borrowings. We expect to either repay the ~~loan twice, each for a period~~maturing mortgages with available cash on hand generated from our results of ~~six months, subject to~~operations or borrowings under our ~~being in compliance~~Revolving Credit Facility, or refinance with the debt covenants and customary representations and warranties, and payment of a fee equal to 0.05% of the outstanding principal balance at the time of extension. On May 5, 2020, we gave notice that we were exercising the first six-month option, effective August 2, 2020. Refer to ~~Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic~~ ~~for additional discussion regarding the pandemic’s impact to our liquidity profile.~~property-level borrowings.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to repay debt and invest in additional revenue generating properties. Debt capital is provided through unsecured term notes, revolving ~~debt~~credit facilities, and senior unsecured notes. Further, we anticipate having the ability to access the public unsecured bond market, which was historically largely unavailable to us prior to our IPO.

The source and mix of our debt capital in the future will be impacted by market conditions as well as our continued focus on lengthening our debt maturity profile to better align with our portfolio’s lease terms, staggering debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of debt will mature in any single year in the future, and managing our exposure to interest rate risk. Our $60 million 2022 Unsecured Term Loan has a short-term maturity date of February 2022. We expect to either repay the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan with available cash on hand, or with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. With outstanding borrowings of $15 million at March 31, 2021, we have $885 million of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements primarily from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, future debt and equity financings, and proceeds from limited sales of our properties. Our ability to access these capital sources may be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, particularly in the debt and equity capital markets, that are outside of our control. In addition, our success will depend on our operating performance, our borrowing restrictions, our degree of leverage, and other factors. Our acquisition growth strategy significantly depends on our ability to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet by investing in real estate with creditworthy tenants and lease guarantors, and by maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. We also, from time to time, obtain or assume non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property. Mortgages, however, are not currently a strategic focus of the active management of our leverage profile. Rather, we enter into mortgages and notes payable as ancillary business transactions on an as-needed basis, most often as the result of lease assumption transactions. Our fiscal strength has enabled us to build a portfolio that is approximately 95% unencumbered on a gross assets basis, with 629 unencumbered properties and approximately $110.8 million of mortgage debt on the remaining properties. ~~Refer to~~ ~~Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic~~ ~~for additional discussion regarding the pandemic’s impact to our liquidity profile.~~capital structure.

Equity Capital Resources

~~Equity capital~~On September 21, 2020, we completed our IPO and issued 37 million shares of stock for net proceeds of $588.3 million, including shares issued subsequently pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. We used $216.5 million of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under our then existing revolving credit agreement and $240.2 million of the proceeds to fully repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest associated with an unsecured term loan.

As we continue to invest in accretive real estate ~~acquisition activity has historically been provided from the proceeds of~~properties, we expect to balance our ~~private offering, including distributions reinvested through our DRIP. We suspended our private offering on January 10, 2020, in connection with our confidential submission of~~debt and equity capitalization, while maintaining a ~~draft registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC relating~~Net Debt to a proposed IPO. Accordingly, we did not raise any equity through our private offering during the first quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised approximately $5.9 million in equity capital through our DRIP. See Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this Form 10-Q for further information. We announced on January 10, 2020 that we were terminating DRIP, effective February 10, 2020.

~~Credit Rating~~

We achieved our current investment grade credit rating of Baa3 based on our conservative leverage profile, diversified real estate investment portfolio, access to capital, and earnings stability provided by the creditworthiness of our tenants. Factors that could negatively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to: a significant increase in our leverageAnnualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio below 6.0x on a sustained basis, ~~a significant increase in~~through the ~~proportion~~anticipated use of ~~secured debt levels, a significant decline in our unencumbered asset base, weakening~~follow-on equity offerings and an at-the-market (“ATM”) program.

Factors that could positively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to, continued growth in the portfolio, improvement in our leverage profile, lengthening of our debt maturity profile, and our Internalization.

~~2020 Unsecured Term Loan~~

The 2020 Unsecured Term loan has an initial maturity date of August 2020. Borrowings under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit rating ranging between 0.85% and 1.65% per annum. Based on our current credit rating, the applicable margin is 1.25% as of March 31, 2020. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan allows for two six-month extensions, at our option, subject to our being in compliance with the debt covenants and customary representations and warranties, and payment of a fee equal to 0.05% of the outstanding principal balance at the time of extension. On May 5, 2020, we gave notice that we were exercising the first of these options, effective as of August 2, 2020.

Senior Notes

To mitigate interest rate risk, we have strategically added unsecured, fixed-rate, interest-only senior promissory notes (“Senior Notes”) to our capital structure. The Senior Notes were issued in three series (Series A, B, and C) as described below.

Series A ~~Notes~~

~~The Series A Notes are payable interest only semiannually during their term, bear interest at a fixed rate of~~

~~Debt Covenants~~

We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to our debt facilities. The table below summarizes the applicable financial covenants, which are substantially the same across each of our debt facilities. As of March 31, 2020, we believe that we were in compliance with all of our covenants. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the distribution amounts required to maintain our REIT qualification. Refer to ~~Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic~~ ~~for additional discussion over the pandemic’s impact on our ability to satisfy our financial covenants.~~

~~Covenants~~	100,000			5.19%			Jul. 2030

~~Dividends and Other Restricted Payments~~	~~Only applicable in case of default~~		~~Not Applicable~~

^(a)

The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of total indebtedness to total market value. For debt covenant purposes, total market value is computed on a consolidated basis as the net operating income for the most recently completed fiscal quarter on properties owned for four consecutive quarters at a capitalization rate of 7.50%, multiplied by four, plus the acquisition price of properties acquired in the last four quarters, and the GAAP book value of mortgages receivable, development property, unimproved real estate, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and all other tangible assets (the latter subject to a cap of 5% of total market value). For purposes of determining total market value, net operating income from properties disposed of during the immediately preceding period of four consecutive fiscal quarters are excluded.

^(b)	~~The secured indebtedness ratio is the ratio of secured indebtedness to total market value. Secured indebtedness represents outstanding mortgage borrowings.~~

^(c)	~~The unencumbered coverage ratio is the ratio of net operating income for all eligible properties to unsecured interest expense for the most recent fiscal quarter.~~

^(d)

The fixed charge coverage ratio is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recent fiscal quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income tax expense and franchise tax expense, gains and losses from the sale of properties, equity in net income of unconsolidated subsidiaries, non-cash expenses related to mark to market exposure under derivatives contracts, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash severance and restructuring charges, transaction costs expensed, and reserves for replacements with respect to certain properties. Fixed charges are computed as interest expense, plus scheduled principal repayments of debt, excluding balloon payments if applicable, plus preferred dividends paid or accrued, if applicable.

^(e)	~~The ratio is calculated as the ratio of total unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered property value.~~

~~Cash Flows~~

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $96.7 million and $13.2 million at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The table below shows information concerning cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, was mainly due to growth in our real estate portfolio.

The change in net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, was mainly due to decreased acquisition volume and increased proceeds from the disposal of properties, offset by cash paid in connection with the Internalization.

The increase in net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, mainly reflects a net increase in borrowings (as discussed in ~~Liquidity~~ ~~above), partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and increased distributions resulting from an increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding.~~

~~Impact of Inflation~~

The leases in our portfolio are long-term in nature, with a current ABR weighted average remaining lease term of 11.3 years as of March 31, 2020. Our rental revenues may be impacted by inflation. Substantially all of our leases have contractual lease escalations, with an ABR weighted average of 2.1% as of March 31, 2020. Many of our leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at a fixed amount and may not be sufficient during periods of high inflation. Leases that contributed approximately 16.0% of our ABR as of March 31, 2020, contained rent escalators based on increases in CPI and the associated increases in rental revenue may be limited during periods of low inflation. The impact of inflation on our property and operating expenses is limited since substantially all of our leases are net leases, and property-level expenses are generally paid by our tenants. To the extent we bear the cost of such expense, we attempt to limit our exposure to inflation through the use of warranties and other remedies that reduce the likelihood of a significant capital outlay. Inflation and increased costs may also have an adverse impact to our tenants and their creditworthiness if the increase in property-level expenses is greater than their increase in revenues.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2020, or December 31, 2019.~~

^(a)	Subsequent to quarter end, we gave notice that we were exercising the first of two six-month options to extend the maturity date of the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan, effective as of August 2, 2020, to February 2, 2021. Accordingly, we have included principal repayment of this loan in 2021.

^(b)	~~We may extend the Revolving Credit Facility once, for a five-month period, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.~~

^(c)	~~Interest expense is projected based on the outstanding borrowings and interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2020. This amount includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements.~~

^(d)	~~We expect to pay tenant improvement allowances out of cash flows from operations or from additional borrowings.~~

~~At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, investment in rental property of $176.8 million and $178.7 million, respectively, was pledged as collateral against our mortgages and notes payable.~~

Additionally, we are a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and we entered into the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement with our founding owners in connection with the Internalization. The tax protection agreements require us to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, or in the case of the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. Based on values as of March 31, 2020, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the four agreements of approximately $22.3 million. Based on information available, we do not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have excluded these commitments from the contractual commitments table above.

~~Critical Accounting Policies~~

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies and procedures are included in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in our 2019 Annual report on Form 10-K.

~~Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.~~

~~Determined Share Value~~

Historically, we have sold shares of common stock in a private offering at a price equal to the Determined Share Value (“DSV”), which was established at least quarterly by the board of directors based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of our portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the board of directors may determine. The DSV was historically used for purchases, distribution reinvestment, and redemptions. On January 10, 2020, we suspended our private offering of our common stock until further notice and terminated our dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) and share redemption program as of February 10, 2020.

At its May 7, 2020, meeting, our board of directors voted to set the DSV at $82.00 per share until July 31, 2020, compared to the prior DSV of $85 per share. The Company’s NAV calculation as of March 31, 2020 was consistently calculated using the Company’s established valuation process, starting with an estimate of the fair value of the properties in the portfolio as of that date based upon, among other factors, the implied market price for each asset based upon our review of market capitalization rates. The Company did not adjust the values of its real estate assets to estimate any potential impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on its portfolio as of March 31, 2020.

The decline in the Company’s NAV during the first quarter was due to a decrease in the estimated value of the Company’s real estate investments (driven mainly by downward adjustments to fair value associated with properties leased to our largest tenant, who declared bankruptcy in March, and current quarter disposition activity), combined with a decline in market interest rates during the first quarter, which led to an increase in our estimated fair value of debt (and a corresponding decline in NAV). Additional information regarding our valuation policy and procedures, including significant assumptions used to value our real estate portfolio and corresponding sensitivity disclosures, and the determination of the DSV by the board of directors, is available in Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities,” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020, under the heading ~~Determined Share Value~~.

The following table details the implied market capitalization rates (shown on a weighted average basis) used to value the investment in rental property, by property type, as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, supporting the Determined Share Value in effect for the periods of May 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020, and February 1, 2020, through April 30, 2020, respectively:

While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our real estate investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, an increase in the weighted average implied market capitalization rate used as of March 31, 2020, of 0.25% would result in a decrease in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.6%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $77.27. Conversely, a decrease in the weighted average implied capitalization rate used as of March 31, 2020, of 0.25% would result in an increase in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.8%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $88.05.

Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, together with the restrictions on travel and other measures enacted in response to the pandemic, has had and will continue to have a significant adverse impact on our tenants’ operations and the value of our properties for an unknown period of time. Given the reliance on historical information when valuing a property and the number of unknown variables with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, the impact of the pandemic on a particular property will likely not be reflected in a property-level valuation for several calendar quarters. Additionally, when conducting property-level valuations, management and our third-party consultants and appraisers utilize available sales data, such as purchase price, from transactions involving comparable assets. Given the current economic downturn and significant reduction in real estate transactions, it is likely that we will be unable to obtain or utilize comparable sales data as part of our valuation process for several calendar quarters, which further impedes our ability to conduct accurate valuations. Accordingly, the current Determined Share Value does not accurately reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the value of our shares as of the date of this filing. The board of directors will continue to utilize all available valuation information when setting the DSV in future periods as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on real estate asset values continues to unfold.

~~Distributions and Distribution Reinvestment~~

At its May 7, 2020 meeting, our board of directors undertook a full review of our rent collection results for April, preliminary collection results for May, our outlook for collections in future months, and our overall liquidity position. Given the economic uncertainty and rapidly evolving circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic and current tenant rent relief requests, to preserve cash and strengthen our liquidity position, the board determined that it would temporarily suspend our monthly distribution. The previously announced distribution of $0.44 per common share and OP Unit for the month of April will remain payable on May 15, 2020. The board of directors will re-evaluate whether or not to reinstate a distribution at its August 2020 meeting. In connection with that re-evaluation, the board will consider the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the Company’s results of operations through that time and, based upon the Company’s determination of its progress against its growth initiatives, will also evaluate the appropriate payout ratio and payment frequency for any future distributions. We intend to maintain BNL’s REIT status, and intend to make a special distribution in 2020 if it becomes necessary to do so based on the ultimate decisions with respect to future distributions.

We terminated our DRIP and share redemption program, effective February 10, 2020. Prior to its termination, pursuant to the terms of our DRIP, stockholders and OP Unit holders (other than us), could elect to have cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Shares of our common stock acquired through our DRIP have the same rights and are subject to the same restrictions on transferability as all other shares of our common stock.

~~Item 3.~~

~~Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk~~

We are exposed to certain market risks, one of the most predominant of which is a change in interest rates. Increases in interest rates can result in increased interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt. Increases in interest rates can also result in increased interest expense when our fixed rate debt matures and needs to be refinanced. We attempt to manage interest rate risk by entering into long-term fixed rate debt or by entering into interest rate swaps to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Further information concerning our interest rate swaps can be found in Note 11 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our fixed-rate debt includes our Senior Notes, mortgages, and variable-rate debt converted to a fixed rate with the use of interest rate swaps. Our fixed-rate debt and outstanding interest rate swaps had carrying values and fair values of approximately $1.6 billion, as of March 31, 2020. Changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps, but they have no impact on interest incurred or on cash flows. For instance, if interest rates were to increase 1%, and the fixed-rate debt balance were to remain constant, we would expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, similar to how the price of a bond decreases as interest rates rise. A 1% increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps of approximately $85.4 million as of March 31, 2020.

Borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt bear interest at rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, and totaled $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2020, of which $909.9 million was swapped to a fixed rate by our use of interest rate swaps. Taking into account the effect of our interest rate swaps, interest expense would have increased by approximately $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, if the applicable LIBOR rate had been 1% higher.

~~With the exception of our interest rate swap transactions, we have not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.~~

~~As of March 31, 2020, our financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk.~~

~~Item 4.~~

~~Controls and Procedures~~

~~Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures~~

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

~~Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~

As a result of our Internalization on February 7, 2020, we implemented internal controls over financial reporting to consider the management functions previously performed by our third-party manager. The Internalization represents a material change in internal control over financial reporting subsequent to management’s last assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, which was completed on December 31, 2019.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~Part II – OTHER INFORMATION~~

~~Item 1.~~

~~Legal Proceedings.~~

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters are generally covered by insurance or are subject to our right to be indemnified by our tenants that we include in our leases. Management is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

~~Item 1A.~~

~~Risk Factors.~~

Other than the addition of the text below, there have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. See the discussion of the Company’s risk factors under Part I, Item 1A. in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the businesses of our tenants.

Since its discovery in December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, has spread throughout most countries in the world, including the United States. This outbreak, which has since been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has negatively impacted regional and global economic activity and contributed to volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries and U.S. states, including the areas in which we operate, have adopted certain measures to mitigate the ongoing public health crises. Such measures include “shelter in place” or “stay at home” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate in many countries and U.S. states. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted nearly every industry directly or indirectly.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and future epidemics, pandemics, and other public health crises could materially and adversely affect our and our tenants’ results of operations, liquidity, and ability to access capital markets or pay distributions due to, among other factors:

~~an ongoing~~ reduction in general economic activity, which may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to maintain profitability and make timely rental payments to us pursuant to their leases, or to declare bankruptcy;

~~an increase in property vacancies could result in our obligation to pay the associated real estate taxes, insurance, and general property operating expenses;~~

~~a continuing complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;~~

~~delays in the supply of material products or services to us or our tenants from vendors;~~

~~a reduction in our tenants’ available workforce as a result of local, state or federal “shelter in place” or “stay at home” rules and restrictions;~~

indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in our view of strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry, or changes in our long-term hold strategies, which could be indicative of an impairment triggering event with respect to a particular property or properties;

~~a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our portfolio or sell properties upon desirable terms;~~

~~difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, if at all; and~~

an inability to maintain compliance with financial covenants of credit facility and other loan agreements, which may result in a default of such arrangements and potentially result in an acceleration of indebtedness, or increased interest expense should a waiver be required from the lending institutions.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our investments and operations will depend on future developments, including, among others, the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or treat the disease. These developments and the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic and any future epidemics, pandemics or public health crises could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders, for the reasons discussed above. In particular, the following risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are updated as follows:

The failure of one or more of our tenants to pay rent due to the market disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak or any other reason could materially and adversely affect us, including our results of operations.

Our performance depends on the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to fulfill their lease obligations by paying rent in a timely manner. The outbreak has adversely affected our tenants’ businesses generally. As of April 30, 2020, we have received requests for rent relief from 36.3% of our tenants based on ABR. Although the requests range in scope, the most common request is for a full or partial rent deferment for three months, with repayment over a six to 12-month period following the reinstatement of regular rent payments. In certain cases, we are also negotiating for lease extensions or the early exercise of a tenant renewal option in addition to the repayment of the deferred rent. We have not agreed to any rent forgiveness or permanent abatement and are only negotiating rent deferrals. However, we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of these discussions with our tenants or whether any such negotiations could break down in the future and result in any such tenants refusing to pay all or a substantial portion of the rent due under their leases. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and our tenants’ ability to return to business after governmental restrictions are lifted will have a significant impact on our ability to continue to collect rents, and any material disruption in our ability to collect rents could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

General economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a reduction in the willingness or ability of consumers to use their discretionary income in the businesses of our tenants and potential tenants, which could reduce the demand for our properties and in turn could materially and adversely affect us.

A significant portion of our portfolio is leased to tenants operating businesses at our properties that rely on discretionary consumer spending. Restaurants (including quick service and casual and family dining) represent a material portion of our portfolio and the highest proportion of tenants seeking rent relief at this time are in the restaurant sector. Red Lobster Hospitality, Jack’s Family Restaurants, Outback Steakhouse, and Krispy Kreme are among the most significant tenants in our portfolio. The success of most of these businesses depends on the willingness of consumers to use discretionary income to purchase their products or services. A downturn in the economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could cause consumers to reduce their discretionary spending, which could result in tenant bankruptcies or otherwise have an adverse impact on our tenants’ ability to successfully manage their businesses and pay us amounts due under our lease agreements, thereby materially and adversely affecting us.

More generally, if the pandemic results in a period of economic slowdown, rising interest rates and declining demand for real estate, then it may cause a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. A lack of demand for rental space could adversely affect our ability to maintain our current tenants and gain new tenants, which may affect our growth and results of operations. Accordingly, a general decline in economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and adversely affect us.

~~Legal restrictions intended to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 could have a particularly adverse impact on the restaurant and retail industries, which may materially and adversely affect us.~~

~~The legal restrictions adopted by many U.S. states~~ to mitigate the ongoing public health crises related to COVID-19, including “shelter in place” and “stay at home” rules, restrictions on travel, and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate, have had a particularly acute negative economic impact on restaurant and retail businesses throughout the areas in which we operate. As of March 31, 2020, leases representing approximately 15.7% of our ABR were with tenants in the restaurant industry and 9.6% of our ABR were with tenants in the retail industry. Accordingly, decreases in the demand for restaurant and/or retail spaces may have a greater adverse effect on us than if we had fewer investments in these industries. For example, if there is an increase in the number of companies in the restaurant industry that declare bankruptcy, go out of business, or significantly reduce the number of their locations as a result of the pandemic, then we are likely to experience challenges with our restaurant tenants, and may record asset impairments on certain assets as a result of increased credit losses. To the extent that economic conditions continue to deteriorate in the retail and restaurant industries, they are likely to negatively affect market rents for such properties and could materially and adversely affect us.

Decreases in real estate transaction activity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may materially inhibit our ability to achieve growth through acquisitions at a rate that is comparable to our historical results, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Although the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on investment sales markets is currently difficult to predict, the disruption from the pandemic thus far has resulted in a significant decrease in real estate investment sales. Our growth strategy depends significantly on acquiring new properties. Since 2015, our team has acquired more than $500 million of net leased real estate each year, with approximately $1 billion during 2019. The Company did not complete any acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which increases the risk of lower overall acquisition activity for the full year given the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to grow requires us to identify and complete acquisitions that meet our investment criteria. Changes in the volume of real estate investment sales, or our ability to access acquisition financing, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our acquisition opportunities, and if we are unable to achieve growth through acquisitions at a rate that is comparable to our historical results, it could materially and adversely affect us.

The Determined Share Value is not directly derived from any independent valuation or from the value of the existing property portfolio. Investors should use caution in using the Determined Share Value as the current value of shares of our common stock.

Historically, shares of our common stock have been sold by us in a private offering at a price per share equal to what we refer to as the current Determined Share Value, which is established at least quarterly by our Board of Directors based on the net asset value of the portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine. Our net assets are primarily comprised of our investment in real property and debt, as well as other assets and liabilities such as cash, interest rate swaps, and accounts payable. The values ascribed to our mortgages and unsecured notes are marked to market each quarter.

The Board of Directors may, and currently does, engage third-party consultants, appraisers, and other real estate or investment professionals to assist in its establishment of the Determined Share Value, but the Board of Directors is not required to do so. As a result, the price of the shares of our common stock may not necessarily bear a direct relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing issued or outstanding common stock and the actual value of an investor’s investment in shares of our common stock could be substantially more or less than what the stockholder may have paid to purchase the shares.

As with any valuation method, the methods used to determine the Determined Share Value are based upon a number of assumptions, estimates, and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. Our assets are valued based upon appraisal standards and the values of our assets using these methods are not required to be a reflection of market value and will not necessarily result in a reflection of fair value under GAAP. Different parties using different property-specific and general real estate and capital market assumptions, estimates, judgments, and standards could derive different Determined Share Values, which could be significantly different from the Determined Share Values determined by the Board of Directors. Additionally, valuation methods typically utilize historical property-level information. As a result, if a property is subject to an event or circumstances that impact property-level operations, there may be an inherent lag between the occurrence of such event and a correlative adjustment in an affected property’s valuation. Further, estimated values of our properties can change rapidly and significantly due to a variety of factors, including changes in interest rates, credit performance, perceived risk, supply, demand, and actual and projected cash flows. Any such changes could result in a change in Determined Share Value.

Accordingly, the Determined Share Value established as of any given time is not a direct representation or indication that, among other things, (i) a stockholder would be able to realize the full Determined Share Value if he or she attempts to sell their shares, (ii) a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Determined Share Value upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon a sale of our company, (iii) shares of our common stock would trade at the Determined Share Value on a national securities exchange, (iv) a third party would offer the Determined Share Value in an arms-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock, or (v) the methodologies used to estimate the Determined Share Value would be acceptable to the requirements of any regulatory agency.

Finally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, together with the restrictions on travel and other measures enacted in response to the pandemic, has had and will continue to have a significant adverse impact on our tenants’ operations and the value of our properties for an unknown period of time. Given the reliance on historical information when valuing a property and the number of unknown variables with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic at this time, the impact of the pandemic on a particular property will likely not be reflected in a property-level valuation for several calendar quarters. Additionally, when conducting property-level valuations, management and our third-party consultants and appraisers utilize available sales data, such as purchase price, from transactions involving comparable assets. Given the current economic downturn and significant reduction in real estate transactions, it is likely that we will be unable to obtain and/or utilize comparable sales data as part of our valuation process for several calendar quarters, which further impedes our ability to conduct accurate valuations. Accordingly, the current Determined Share Value does not accurately reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the value of our shares as of the date of this filing.

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

~~Sales of Common Stock and Issuance of OP Units~~

We commenced our private offering of shares of our common stock in 2007. The first closing of our private offering occurred on December 31, 2007, and we conducted additional closings at least once every calendar quarter through December 31, 2019. On January 10, 2020, we announced that we suspended until further notice our private offering of shares of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2020, there were 26.9 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, including 0.8 million mezzanine equity common shares, and 3.1 million OP Units issued and outstanding, including 1.3 million mezzanine equity non-controlling interests.

The following table provides information regarding the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our ongoing private offering during the three months ended March 31, 2020 (in thousands, except year and Determined Share Value amounts).

^(a)	~~DRIP shares are purchased at a discounted price of 98% of the Determined Share Value.~~

^(b)	For common shares reinvested under our DRIP there is no corresponding cash flow from the transaction. Refer to Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

None of the shares of our common stock set forth in the table above were registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 506(c) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. All of the shares of our common stock set forth in the table above were sold to persons each of whom represented to us in writing that such person qualified as an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and provided us with additional documentation to assist us in verifying such person’s status as an Accredited Investor.

In connection with property acquisitions that are structured as UPREIT transactions, the owner of a property will transfer its interest in the property to the OP in exchange for OP Units. There were no such OP Unit issuances during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

None of the OP Units have been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 506(c) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. All of the OP Units were issued to persons who represented to us in writing that they qualified as an Accredited Investor, and provided us with additional documentation to assist us in verifying such person’s status as an Accredited Investor, including third-party verification as permitted under Regulation D.

~~Internalization Consideration~~

In connection with the closing of the Internalization, on February 7, 2020, we issued 780,893 shares of our common stock to certain owners of BRE as merger consideration for an aggregate value of $66.4 million.

~~In connection with the Internalization, on February 7, 2020, the OP issued 1,319,513 OP Units to certain owners of BRE as merger consideration for an aggregate value of $112.2 million.~~

~~In each case, the aforementioned securities were issued in reliance on the exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.~~

~~Repurchases of Equity Securities~~

We had adopted a share redemption program to provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased, at the end of each quarter, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the current Determined Share Value in effect as of the date the shares were tendered for redemption. Cash used to fund share redemptions had historically been provided through a combination of cash generated by operations, the sale of assets, and borrowings. On January 10, 2020, we announced that we terminated our share redemption program, effective as of February 10, 2020. Consequently, there were no redemptions of shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

~~2.1~~		Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2019, by and among Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, Broadstone Net Lease Sub 1, Inc., Broadstone Net Lease Sub 2, Inc., Broadstone Real Estate, LLC, Trident BRE Holdings I, Inc., Trident BRE Holdings II, Inc. and, solely for purposes of Sections 6.18, 6.19 and 6.20, Trident BRE Holdings I, L.P. and Trident BRE Holdings II, L.P. (filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 12, 2019 and incorporated herein by reference)

As announced on January 21, 2021, S&P assigned the Company an initial credit rating of 'BBB' with a stable outlook. As a result of this credit rating, the margin of our existing bank loans was reduced by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021, the applicable margin on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by 20 basis points, and our access to a diverse set of advantageous funding sources should expand. During the quarter, Moody’s reaffirmed our ‘Baa3’ credit rating and updated their outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘positive.

On March 12, 2021, we amended our $450 million 2026 Unsecured Term Loan, reducing the applicable margin an additional 60 basis points based on our current credit rating. In connection with the amendment, we repaid in full the outstanding commitments for two lenders and elected to repay an additional $10 million in outstanding principal, bringing the outstanding balance to $400 million as of March 31, 2021.

On March 31, 2021, we drew $15 million on our Revolving Credit Facility to fund an acquisition. We have $885 million of remaining capacity on our Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to our debt facilities, which are summarized below. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants on all outstanding borrowings. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the distribution amounts required to maintain our REIT qualification.

Covenants		Requirement
Leverage Ratio		≤ 0.60 to 1.00
Secured Indebtedness Ratio		≤ 0.40 to 1.00
Unencumbered Coverage Ratio		≥ 1.75 to 1.00
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio		≥ 1.50 to 1.00
Total Unsecured Indebtedness to Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value		≤ 0.60 to 1.00
Dividends and Other Restricted Payments		Only applicable in case of default

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating-rate borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities and a certain mortgage. Borrowings pursuant to our unsecured credit facilities and the mortgage bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense, which will in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.

We attempt to manage our interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2021, we had 32 interest rate swaps outstanding in an aggregate notional amount of $824.7 million. Under these agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $18.4 million, $110.7 million, and $96.7 million at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The table below shows information concerning cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020:

	For the Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020			March 31, 2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	51,780		$	46,064		$	40,319
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities		(67,661	)		(76,443	)		4,474
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(76,497	)		32,120			31,608
Increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(92,378	)	$	1,741		$	76,401

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, was mainly due to growth in our real estate portfolio and cost savings associated with the Internalization.

The change in net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, was mainly due to decreased acquisition volume quarter-over-quarter. The change in net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, was mainly due to increased acquisition volume and decreased proceeds from disposal of properties in 2021 offset by decrease in cash paid in connection with the Internalization.

The change in net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 mainly reflects a net repayment of debt in 2021 as compared to net proceeds from our IPO in 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made a $50 million paydown on our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan using cash on hand and remaining proceeds from our IPO in 2020. During the three months ended December 31, 2020 our underwriters partially exercised their overallotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 3.5 million shares for net proceeds of approximately $55.9 million. The change in net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, mainly reflects a net repayment of debt in 2021, compared to net borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Contractual Obligations

The following table provides information with respect to our contractual commitments and obligations as of March 31, 2021 (in thousands). Refer to the discussion in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section above for further discussion over our short and long-term obligations.

^(a)	We may extend the Revolving Credit Facility twice, each for a six-month period, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.
~~2.2~~		Amendment No. 1, dated February 7, 2020, to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2019, by and among Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, Broadstone Net Lease Sub 1, Inc., Broadstone Net Lease Sub 2, Inc., Broadstone Real Estate, LLC, Trident BRE Holdings I, Inc., Trident BRE Holdings II, Inc. and, solely for purposes of Sections 6.18, 6.19, and 6.20 of the Merger Agreement, Trident BRE Holdings I, L.P. and Trident BRE Holdings II, L.P. (filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 7, 2020 and incorporated herein by reference)

^(b)	Interest expense is projected based on the outstanding borrowings and interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2021. This amount includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements.

^(c)	We expect to pay tenant improvement allowances out of cash flows from operations or from additional borrowings.
~~3.1~~		~~Articles of Incorporation of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Corporation’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed April 24, 2017 and incorporated herein by reference)~~

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment in rental property of $172.4 million and $173.5 million, respectively, was pledged as collateral against our mortgages.

Additionally, we are a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and we entered into the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement in connection with the Internalization. The tax protection agreements require us to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, and in the case of the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. Based on values as of March 31, 2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the four agreements of approximately $22.3 million. Based on information available, we do not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have excluded these commitments from the contractual commitments table above.

Non-GAAP Measures

FFO and AFFO

We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of Nareit, the worldwide representative voice for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the U.S. real estate and capital markets. Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of certain depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment charges related to certain previously depreciated real estate assets. To derive Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), we modify the Nareit computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash and non-recurring revenues and expenses, including straight-line rents, the change in fair value of our earnout liability, cost of debt extinguishments, amortization of lease intangibles, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of net mortgage premiums, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, internalization expenses, stock-based compensation, severance, extraordinary items, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that excluding such items assists

management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors.

Our leases include cash rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rentals over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates. In situations where we granted short-term rent deferrals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and such deferrals were probable of collection and expected to be repaid within a short term, we continued to recognize the same amount of GAAP lease revenues each period. Consistent with GAAP lease revenues, the short-term deferrals associated with COVID-19 did not impact our AFFO.

We further exclude the change in fair value of our earnout liability, costs or gains recorded on the extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense and gains, the amortization of debt issuance costs, net mortgage premiums, and lease intangibles, realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, internalization expenses, stock-based compensation and severance, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operational results. We use AFFO as a measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments to FFO that we use to calculate AFFO. In the future, the SEC, Nareit, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of AFFO accordingly.

The following table reconciles net income (which is the most comparable GAAP measure) to FFO and AFFO:

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry. We believe that this ratio provides investors and analysts with a measure of our performance that includes our operating results unaffected by the differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and useful life of related assets compared to other companies in our industry. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by Nareit, as EBITDA excluding gains (loss) from the sales of depreciable property and provisions for impairment on investment in real estate. We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information about our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. EBITDA and EBITDAre are not measures of financial

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

We are focused on a disciplined and targeted acquisition strategy, together with active asset management that includes selective sales of properties. We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, each discussed further below, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with our lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. As we fund new acquisitions using our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, our leverage profile and Net Debt will be immediately impacted by current quarter acquisitions. However, the full benefit of EBITDAre from newly acquired properties will not be received in the same quarter in which the properties are acquired. Additionally, EBITDAre for the quarter includes amounts generated by properties that have been sold during the quarter. Accordingly, the variability in EBITDAre caused by the timing of our acquisitions and dispositions can temporarily distort our leverage ratios. We adjust EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) for the most recently completed quarter (i) to recalculate as if all acquisitions and dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the quarter, (ii) to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that are either non-cash, such as cost of debt extinguishments or the change in fair value of our earnout liability, or that we believe are one time, or unusual in nature because they relate to unique circumstances or transactions that had not previously occurred and which we do not anticipate occurring in the future, and (iii) to eliminate the impact of lease termination fees and other items that are not a result of normal operations. We then annualize quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying it by four (“Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre”). You should not unduly rely on this measure as it is based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDAre for future periods may be significantly different from our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are not measurements of performance under GAAP, and our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

Net Debt, Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

We define Net Debt as gross debt (total reported debt plus deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors and analysts because these ratios provide information about gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay debt, compared to our performance as measured using EBITDAre, and is used in communications with lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating.

Critical Accounting Policies

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our fixed-rate debt includes our Senior Notes, mortgages, and variable-rate debt converted to a fixed rate with the use of interest rate swaps. Our fixed-rate debt and outstanding interest rate swaps had carrying values and fair values of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2021. Changes in market interest rates impact the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps, but they have no impact on interest incurred or on cash flows. For instance, if interest rates were to increase 1%, and the fixed-rate debt balance were to remain constant, we would expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, similar to how the price of a bond decreases as interest rates rise. A 1% increase in market interest rates would have resulted in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt and interest rate swaps of approximately $74.5 million as of March 31, 2021.

Borrowings pursuant to our Revolving Credit Facility and other variable-rate debt bear interest at rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, and totaled $934.7 million as of March 31, 2021, of which $824.7 million was swapped to a fixed rate by our use of interest rate swaps. Taking into account the effect of our interest rate swaps, a 1% increase or decrease in interest would have a corresponding $1.1 million increase or decrease in interest expense annually.

With the exception of our interest rate swap transactions, we have not engaged in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

As of March 31, 2021, our financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are subject to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are not aware of any material legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.
