Item 1.

Business

The Company

We are an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, owns, and manages primarily single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to a diversified group of tenants. ~~We utilize an investment strategy underpinned by strong fundamental credit analysis and prudent real estate underwriting.~~ Since our inception in 2007, we have selectively invested in net leased ~~real estate across~~assets in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, retail, and office property types. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we invested $654.7 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 116 properties at a weighted average initial cash capitalization rate of 6.3%. The acquisitions included properties in industrial (47%, based on ABR), retail (26%), healthcare (23%), and ~~retail property types,~~restaurant (4%) asset classes located across 28 states with a weighted average initial lease term and asminimum annual rent increases of 15.9 years and 1.5%, respectively. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our portfolio has grown to ~~645~~726 properties, with 725 properties located in 4142 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 ~~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 December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our portfolio comprised approximately ~~27.5~~32.2 million rentable square feet of operational space, and was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and ~~industry:~~

Within these sectors, we have meaningful concentrations in manufacturing, distribution and warehouse, clinical, ~~casual dining,~~ quick service restaurant, ~~corporate headquarters,~~ food processing, casual dining, general merchandise, and flex/research and ~~development, and cold storage.~~

Tenant and Industry ~~Diversity~~Diversification

: Our properties are occupied by approximately ~~186~~204 different commercial tenants who operate ~~169~~189 different brands that are diversified across 5456 differing industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than ~~2.8%~~2.1% of our ~~ABR.~~

filings or otherwise.

From our inception in 2007 through 2015, our portfolio grew to over 300 properties with a gross asset value of $1.4 billion. Growth further accelerated under the leadership of Christopher J. Czarnecki, our Chief Executive Officer since 2017, who joined us in 2009 and was instrumental in building our senior leadership team, developing our strategy, and increasing our level of acquisition activity. Our team has acquired more than $500 million of net leased real estate every year since 2015, with acquisition activity of approximately $1.0 billion during 2019, and has grown our portfolio to 646 properties with a gross asset value as of December 31, 2019, of $4.0 billion. In order to benefit from increasing economies of scale as we continue to grow, our board of directors made the decision to internalize the external management functions previously performed by Broadstone Real Estate, LLC and its affiliates (“BRE”) through a series of mergers (the “Internalization”) that became effective on February 7, 2020. Upon closing of the

~~Internalization, each member of our senior management team became a full-time employee of BNL. Refer to the~~ ~~Internalization~~ ~~section below for additional discussion regarding the terms of the transaction.~~

~~We intend to continue to execute our growth strategy, utilizing our long-standing, established relationships to source new acquisition opportunities.~~

We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held directly or indirectly by, the OP, which is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust ~~(“UPREIT”).~~or UPREIT. We are the sole managing member of the OP. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we owned approximately ~~93.7%~~94.0% of ~~the~~its issued and outstanding membership units of the OP (“OP Units”), with the remaining ~~6.3%~~6.0% of ~~the~~its OP ~~units~~Units held

~~FFO and AFFO~~Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are performance measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We present these

non-GAAP

measures as we believe certain investors and other users of our financial information use them as part of their evaluation of our historical operating performance. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Annual Report on Form

Non-GAAP

Measures ~~(FFO and AFFO)~~

, which includes discussion of the definition, purpose, and use of these

non-GAAP

measures as well as a reconciliation of each to the most comparable GAAP measure.

~~Internalization~~

~~On February 7, 2020, we completed the Internalization, which included the following transactions:~~

~~On February 7, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of BRE through three mergers (the “Mergers”).~~

•

~~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 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 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 initial public offering (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.

~~On February 7, 2020, 71 employees, including our current senior management team, that performed the external management functions for our Company became employed by a subsidiary of the~~ OP~~, and we became internally managed. We entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers.~~

~~We terminated our previous asset management agreement and property management agreement with BRE and certain of its affiliates.~~

We entered into a registration rights agreement with the Founding Owners and Trident BRE, LLC and its affiliates, and a tax protection agreement with the Founding Owners (the “Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement”).

~~On December 27, 2019, we repurchased all of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by BRE at $85.00 per share for approximately $20 million.~~

~~Our Competitive Strengths~~

We believe we possess the following competitive strengths that enable us to implement our business and growth strategies and distinguish our Company from other market participants, allowing us to compete effectively in the single-tenant, net lease market:

~~Diversified Portfolio of High-Quality Properties that are Key to Tenant Operations~~. Our portfolio is diversified by property type, geography, tenant, and industry. As of December 31, 2019, our portfolio consisted of 645 individual net leased commercial properties located in 41 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada. Our portfolio is primarily focused in industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail property types, representing 43.2%, 19.5%, 15.8%, 9.8%, and 9.6% of ABR, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, our portfolio was leased to approximately 186 tenants operating 169 different brands across 54 different industries. Our top ten tenants represented 19.6% of our portfolio ABR as of December 31, 2019, with no single tenant representing more than 2.8%. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 99.8% of our portfolio’s rentable square footage, representing all but four of our properties, was subject to a lease, substantially all of which are net leases. The ABR weighted average remaining term of our leases was approximately 11.5 years, excluding renewal options, and approximately 98.4% of our leases had contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.1%. We focus on acquiring a diversified portfolio of properties that are strategically located or important to the tenant’s business. We believe that our highly diversified portfolio provides us with acquisition flexibility, positioning us for significant growth, and helps mitigate the risks inherent in concentrated ownership in only one or a few property types, geographies, tenants, or industries, including risks presented by tenant bankruptcies, adverse industry trends, and economic downturns in a particular geographic area.

•

~~Scalable Net Lease Platform Well Positioned for Significant Growth. With 71 employees who have extensive net lease expertise and significant experience managing our portfolio, our platform is highly~~

scalable. We have developed leading institutional capabilities across origination, transaction negotiation and documentation, underwriting, financing, and property and asset management. In tandem with our highly diversified portfolio, we have structured our acquisition group in teams of experienced, dedicated industry specialists focused on each of our core property types. Given our team and organizational structure, we expect that as our portfolio grows, we will experience limited increases in general and administrative expenses, as those expenses are expected to grow at a significantly slower rate than the overall portfolio and corresponding lease revenues.

~~Meaningful Value Creation and Risk Mitigation through Active Asset Management~~. Our asset and property management teams focus on creating value post-acquisition through active tenant engagement and risk monitoring and mitigation. We seek to create value through leveraging our strong tenant relationships facilitating additional investment opportunities, including opportunistically agreeing to fund or reimburse certain of our tenants for expansion and improvement costs at our properties in exchange for contractually specified rent increases or term extensions. Approximately 88.2% of our ABR is received from tenants that are required to periodically provide us with certain financial information. An additional 4.4% of our ABR is received from tenants that are public companies, and required to file financial statements with the SEC. We believe this enhances our ability to actively monitor our investments, negotiate lease renewals, and proactively manage our portfolio to protect stockholder value.

~~Strong Balance Sheet with Investment Grade Credit Rating~~. We have strengthened our balance sheet through our conservative leverage profile, diversified real estate investment portfolio, access to capital, and earnings stability provided by the creditworthiness of our tenants. We continue to 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 fiscal strength has enabled us to build a portfolio that is greater than 95% unencumbered on a gross assets basis, with 638 unencumbered properties and approximately $112.2 million of mortgage debt on the remaining properties. Our disciplined ownership and operation of our business is reflected in our investment grade credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) of Baa3 with a stable outlook. We believe we are well positioned to grow our portfolio successfully while maintaining an attractive leverage profile.

~~Experienced and Innovative Senior Leadership Team with Proven Net Lease Track Record~~. Our senior management team has significant net lease real estate, public company, finance, and capital markets experience. Our Chief Executive Officer, Christopher J.

Our Chief Financial Officer, Ryan M. Albano, who joined us in 2013, has extensive experience in finance and real estate and has significantly contributed to our debt capital markets strategy, particularly since becoming our Chief Financial Officer in 2017, having executed more than $2 billion of debt transactions in that time.

Our Business and Growth Strategies

Our primary business objectives are to maximize cash flows, the value of our portfolio, and total returns to our stockholders through pursuit of the following business and growth strategies:

Internal Growth through Long-Term Net Leases with Strong Contractual Rent Escalations

. We seek to enter into long-term net leases that include strong rent escalations over the lease term. As of December 31, 2019, substantially all of our portfolio (based on ABR) was subject to net leases, our leases had an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 11.5 years, excluding renewal options, and approximately 98.4% of our leases had contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.1%.

December 31, 2021, substantially all of our portfolio (based on ABR) was subject to net leases, our leases had an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 10.5 years, excluding renewal options, and approximately 97.3% of our leases had contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.0%.

Disciplined and Targeted Acquisition Growth ~~While~~while Maintaining Our Diversified Portfolio

. We plan to continue our disciplined and targeted acquisition strategy to identify properties that are both individually compelling and contribute to our portfolio’s overall diversification based on property type, geography, tenant, and industry. We ~~also are highly focused on growing our business where we can capture the best opportunities across different property types while maintaining the overall diversity of our portfolio. We~~ believe our reputation,

in-depth

market knowledge, and extensive network of established relationships in the net lease industry will continue to provide us access to potential attractive investment opportunities.

Selectively Identify Attractive Adjacent Opportunities to Our Core Property Types

. We have and will continue to seek attractive adjacent opportunities to our core property types in the net lease space, which have historically provided us the opportunity to earn higher relative returns. For example, in 2015, we began acquiring and structuring long-term net leases for laboratory facilities, veterinary clinics, and cold storage facilities prior to what we believe was the more general market acceptance of these asset types in the healthcare and industrial sectors. We intend to continue opportunistically employing this strategy where we believe we can generate appropriate risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders on a long-term basis.

Actively Manage Our Balance Sheet to Maximize Capital Efficiency

. We seek to maintain a prudent balance between debt and equity financing and to maintain funding sources that lock in long-term investment spreads, limit interest rate sensitivity, and align with our lease terms.

As of December 31, 2021, we had total debt outstanding and Net Debt of $1.7 billion, and a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre of 5.13x. In the future, we will seek to maintain, on a sustained basis, a level of Net Debt that is generally less than 6.0x our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre.

Proactively Manage Our Portfolio

. We ~~believe our proactive~~proactively approach to asset management and property management ~~helps~~to enhance the performance of our portfolio through risk mitigation strategies and opportunistic sales. We ~~believe that~~regularly review and monitor each of our properties to identify changes in the business performance and credit quality of our tenants, individual property level performance metrics, and the local real estate market conditions. Our proactive approach to asset management ~~enables our platform~~helps to identify and address ~~any~~ issues, such as tenant credit deterioration, changes in real estate fundamentals, general market disruption (such as from the

COVID-19

pandemic), or otherwise, including determining to sell any of our properties where we believe the risk profile has changed and become misaligned with our then current risk-adjusted return objectives.

Our Leases

We typically lease our properties pursuant to long-term net leases with initial terms of 10 years or more that often have renewal options. Substantially all of our leases are net, meaning our tenants are generally obligated to pay all expenses associated with the leased property (such as real estate ~~spread across~~taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs). 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. We believe the master lease structure is most prevalent and applicable to leases in our restaurant and retail property types ~~geographic locations, tenants,~~ and ~~industries.~~less relevant to our other property types, such as healthcare and industrial. Additionally, when we acquire properties associated with a tenant that has an existing master lease structure with us, we seek to add the new properties to the existing master lease structure to strengthen the existing lease with such tenant. As of December 31, ~~2019, we had a diversified portfolio~~2021, master leases contributed approximately 32.7% of ~~645 properties located in 41 states~~our overall ABR, 73.7% of our restaurant property ABR (156 of our 235 restaurant properties), and ~~one~~37.9% of our retail property ~~located in Canada that were occupied by 186 different tenants and provided~~ ABR (84 of ~~$292.1 million.~~

our 191 properties).

As of December 31, 2019, our top ten tenants (based on ABR) represented only 19.6% of our ABR and included Art Van Furniture, Red Lobster, Jack’s Family Restaurants, Axcelis, Hensley, Outback Steakhouse, Krispy Kreme, BluePearl, Big Tex Trailer Manufacturing, and Siemens.

~~As of December 31, 2019,~~2021, approximately 99.8% of our ~~portfolio’s rentable square footage,~~portfolio, representing all but ~~four~~two of our properties, was subject to a lease. ~~Our cash flows from operations are primarily generated through our real estate investment portfolio and the monthly lease payments received under our long-term leases with our tenants.~~

Because substantially all of our properties are leased under long-term leases, we are not currently required to perform significant ongoing leasing activities on our properties. The ~~leases~~lease for ~~two~~one of our properties, representing ~~approximately 0.3%~~0.5% of our ABR, will expire during ~~2020.~~2022, and leases for an additional seven properties, representing approximately 1.6% of our ABR, will expire during 2023. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, the ABR weighted average remaining term of our leases was approximately ~~11.5 years, excluding renewal options.~~10.5 years. Less than 5% of the

properties in our portfolio are subject to leases without at least one renewal option. Approximately ~~59%~~49.4% of our rental

Substantially all of our leases provide for periodic contractual rent escalations. As of December 31, 2021, leases contributing 97.3% of our ABR provided for increases in future annual base rent, generally ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% annually, with an ABR weighted average annual minimum increase equal to 2.0% of base rent. Generally, our rent escalators increase rent on specified dates by a fixed percentage. Our escalations provide us with a source of organic growth and a measure of inflation protection. Additional information on lease escalation frequency and weighted average annual escalation rates as of December 31, 2021 is displayed below.

For leases where rent escalates by the greater of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI, we have assumed an escalation equal to the stated fixed percentage in the lease. As of December 31, 2021, leases contributing 8.4% of our ABR provide for rent increases equal to the lesser of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI. As any future increase in CPI is unknowable at this time, we have not included an increase in the rent pursuant to these leases in the weighted average annual minimum increase presented.

Table of Contents

The escalation provisions of our leases (by percentage of ABR) as of December 31, 2021, are displayed in the following chart:

If requested by a tenant, we may, subject to the tenant’s history, creditworthiness, and other relevant considerations, agree to reimburse or provide a loan to the tenant for property expansion or improvement costs that it incurs in connection with improvements at a property, 100% of which it leases from us. In exchange for such reimbursement or loan, we generally receive contractually specified rent that increases proportionally with our funding. For example, we may agree to reimburse a tenant, up to a specified amount, for property expansion or improvement costs that it incurs in improving a commercial facility on its property. Generally, as we reimburse the tenant for property expansion or improvement costs, the rent will increase proportionally with our funding, which typically allows us to achieve a consistent cash yield on our funding throughout improvement.

Investment Guidelines

We seek to acquire primarily freestanding, single-tenant commercial real estate properties located in the United States ~~with a target size for individual property acquisitions of up to approximately $100 million. We generally seek to invest in properties~~ that are under lease and fully occupied at the time of acquisition. We also seek to maintain our portfolio’s diversification by property type, geography, tenant, and industry in an effort to reduce fluctuations in ~~rental~~ income caused by under-performing individual real estate assets or adverse economic conditions affecting an entire industry or geographic region. When evaluating whether a property acquisition would contribute to our overall portfolio’s diversification, we expect to take into account the percentage a single property, tenant, or brand would represent in our overall portfolio, as well as geographic concentrations, both by the metropolitan statistical area and by state. While we consider these criteria when evaluating acquisition opportunities, we may also pursue opportunistic investments that do not meet one or more of these factors if we assess that a transaction presents compelling risk-adjusted returns. We intend to primarily acquire portfolios and assets over time that will generally not result in any one tenant representing more than 5% of ABR.

We are focused primarily on investing in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, ~~office,~~retail, and ~~retail~~office property types. Within each property type, we target specific acquisition opportunities in a highly selective manner.

Industrial

. We focus on single-tenant manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities, food processing, refrigerated storage, flex-space, ~~food processing,~~ and research and development facilities where the tenant has a strong credit profile and experienced management team. We look for industrial assets where the real estate is mission critical to the tenant’s operations, where the property sits on an essential or strategic location for the tenant, and where it would be difficult or more expensive for the tenant to relocate. We look for industrial properties that are located in close proximity to major transportation thoroughfares such as airports, ports, railways, major freeways or interstate highways.

has a strong credit profile and experienced management team. We look for industrial assets where the real estate is mission critical to the tenant’s operations, where the property sits on an essential or strategic location for the tenant, and where it would be difficult or more expensive for the tenant to relocate. We look for industrial properties that are located in close proximity to major transportation thoroughfares such as airports, ports, railways, major freeways or interstate highways.

Healthcare

. We focus on single-tenant medical office buildings, large regional physician practices, and

off-campus

clinics affiliated with major health systems, as well as laboratories, ambulatory surgical centers, service-type locations such as dental and dialysis centers, and animal health service clinics. We primarily focus on healthcare properties that have substantial tenant investments like special regulatory permits and buildouts that would make relocation difficult or costly. We look for healthcare properties that are mission critical to tenant operations, generally located adjacent to or near hospital campuses or other medical facilities, and where the tenant has a strong credit profile and is not easily displaced by regulatory changes. In certain instances, we will seek additional credit enhancements to augment the credit of the tenant. In states where a certificate of need statute exists, we ensure that our sites carry this designation to maintain long-term viability.

Restaurant

. We focus our restaurant investments primarily in single-tenant quick service restaurant and casual dining properties, with an emphasis on restaurants that are located in strong retail markets. We underwrite restaurant properties primarily based on the fundamental value of the underlying real estate, site level performance, corporate owned location or experienced multi-unit franchise operators, and whether the property is subject to a master lease with multiple operating locations.

Retail.

We focus on

e-commerce

resistant industries where the presence of a physical location is important to the end consumer and mission critical to the tenant. Our retail investments are primarily in single-tenant, net leased retail establishments in the general merchandise, automotive, and home furnishings industries, with an emphasis on market presence and necessity-based shopping. We underwrite retail properties primarily based on the fundamental value of the underlying real estate, site level performance, corporate owned location or experienced multi-unit franchise operators, and whether the property is subject to a master lease with multiple operating locations.

Office

. We focus on single-tenant corporate headquarters, ~~call centers, and~~ mission-critical business operations, and call centers with creditworthy tenants where the property is strategically located or important to the tenant’s business. Key considerations for us when making office investments include a strong tenant credit profile, tenant’s previous ~~tenant~~ investment in the property, occupancy costs relative to the market, divisibility of the space, and cost associated with repositioning the space upon lease expiration.

~~Our Leases~~

We typically lease our properties pursuant to long-term net leases with initial terms of 10 years or more that often have renewal options. Substantially all of our leases are net, meaning our tenant generally is obligated to pay all expenses associated with the leased property (such as real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs). 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. In a master lease structure, a tenant is responsible for a single lease payment relating to the entire portfolio of leased properties, as opposed to multiple lease payments relating to individually leased properties. The master lease structure prevents a tenant from “cherry picking” locations, where it unilaterally gives up underperforming properties while maintaining its leasehold interest in well-performing properties. We believe the master lease structure is most prevalent and applicable to leases in our restaurant and retail property type and less relevant to our other property types, such as healthcare and industrial. Additionally, when we acquire properties associated with a tenant that has an existing master lease structure with us, we seek to add the new properties to the existing master lease structure to strengthen the existing lease with such tenant. As of December 31, 2019, master leases contributed approximately 36.0% 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 (166 of our 249 restaurant properties), and 67.2% of our retail property ABR (85 of our 129 properties).

As of December 31, 2019, approximately 88.2% of our ABR was received from tenants that are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis. An additional 4.4% of our ABR was received from tenants that are public companies, which are required to file financial statements with the SEC, although they are not required to provide us with specified financial information under the terms of our lease.

Substantially all of our leases provide for periodic contractual rent escalations. As of December 31, 2019, leases contributing approximately 98.4% of our ABR provided for increases in future annual base rent, generally ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% annually, with an ABR weighted average annual minimum increase equal to 2.1% of base rent. Generally, our rent escalators increase rent on specified dates by a fixed percentage. Our escalations provide us with a source of organic growth and a measure of inflation protection.

~~Weighted by ABR.~~

~~The escalation provisions of our leases (by percentage of ABR) as of December 31, 2019, are displayed in the following chart:~~

If requested by a tenant, we may, subject to the tenant’s history, creditworthiness, and other relevant considerations, agree to reimburse or provide a loan to the tenant for property expansion or improvement costs that it incurs in connection with improvements at a property, 100% of which it leases from us. In exchange for such reimbursement or loan, we generally receive contractually specified rent that increases proportionally with our funding. For example, we may agree to reimburse a tenant, up to a specified amount, for property expansion or improvement costs that it incurs in improving a commercial facility on its property. Generally, as we reimburse the tenant for property expansion or improvement costs, the rent will increase proportionally with our funding, which generally allows us to achieve a consistent cash yield on our funding throughout improvement.

~~Tax Status~~

We elected to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (as amended, the “Code”) beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. We believe that as of such date we have been organized and have operated in a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We intend to continue to be organized and operate in such a manner.

~~Competition~~

The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We compete for tenants to occupy our properties in all of our markets with other owners and operators of commercial real estate. We compete based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs, and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates, and the operating expenses of certain of our properties.

In addition, we compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment activities to locate suitable properties to acquire and purchasers to buy our properties. These competitors include other REITs, private and

institutional real estate investors, sovereign wealth funds, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, investment banking firms, lenders, specialty finance companies, and other entities. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater financial resources, including lower cost of capital, than we have. The relative size of their portfolios may allow them to absorb properties with lower returns or allow them to accept more risk on a given property than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants. In addition, these same entities may seek financing through similar channels to ~~us.~~us,

Table of Contents

and may have a higher target leverage profile. Competition from these REITs and other third-party real estate investors may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us. It also may result in higher prices, lower yields, and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms.

~~Employees~~

~~During 2019,~~

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2021, we ~~had no employees. Effective upon the completion of the Internalization on February 7, 2020, we had 71~~employed 76 full-time employees, comprised of professional employees engaged in origination, underwriting, closing, accounting and financial reporting, portfolio and asset management, capital markets, and other corporate activities essential to our business.

~~Legal Proceedings~~

~~We may become party~~

Our commitment to ~~various lawsuits, claims~~our employees is central to our ability to continue to deliver strong performance and financial results for our stockholders and other ~~legal proceedings~~stakeholders. We are as passionate about our people as we are about real estate. We seek to create and cultivate an inclusive and engaging work environment for our employees, which allows us to attract, retain, and develop top talent to manage our business. We strive to provide our employees with a work environment that ~~arise~~is free from discrimination and harassment, that respects and honors their differences and unique life experiences, and that enables employees the opportunity to develop and excel in ~~the ordinary course~~their role and reach their full potential. We seek to provide a collaborative, creative workplace where people with unique talents can flourish, where their opinions are valued, and where their contributions are rewarded.

As part of our ~~business.~~commitment to our employees, we are focused on the following:

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DE&I”)—We are committed to providing equal opportunity in all aspects of employment and cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. We believe that diverse backgrounds and experiences help drive our performance and are important assets for our company. To that end, we value and advance the diversity, equity, and inclusion of the people with whom we work. Our cross-functional DE&I committee spearheads our ongoing efforts to deepen our commitment to this important initiative and drive our education, including diversity trainings on topics such as unconscious bias, employee engagement, policy reviews, recruitment, and monetary donations to external DE&I focused programs and organizations. DE&I is a critical business imperative that requires ongoing focus and commitment.; therefore, our efforts to promote greater diversity, equity and inclusion within and beyond our workplace have been instituted as a regular reporting item for our employees and our board of directors.

Career Development—We strive to create an engaging work experience that allows for career development and related opportunities. We offer numerous opportunities for our employees to engage in personal and professional development, including educational support and opportunities for tuition assistance and reimbursement, participation in industry conferences and networking events, individual leadership and management training, access to an online learning library providing an extensive collection of learning and development opportunities, lunch and learn meetings with our CEO and senior management team, group trainings (e.g., underwriting, real estate fundamentals, cyber security, computer skills, safety, ethics, harassment prevention, and DE&I related content), peer mentorship opportunities, and reimbursement for continuing education.

Employee Wellness—Our employees are our most valuable asset, and their individual and group contributions drive our performance and success. As a result, we are focused on and invest in our team’s overall health, wellness, and engagement. We employ numerous strategies and initiatives to nurture and nourish our employees’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being, including, among other things, competitive employee benefits (with 100% employer-paid healthcare options), generous paid time off programs, fringe benefits to make both the Broadstone and home office environments more comfortable, transparent and open communication and dialogue between our senior executives and our employee base, events and opportunities for social connectedness and fun family-friendly corporate events, wellness and fitness events,

on-site

flu vaccinations administered by a third-party

Table of Contents

health-services provider, flexibility in work location and schedules to meet specific employee needs, and access to an employee assistance program and other health and wellness resources.

Community Engagement—We believe in our responsibility to help the communities around us by providing support to charitable organizations and encourage living philanthropically. We offer regular volunteer and giving opportunities throughout the year that provide our employees with meaningful civic involvement. Since our ~~organization in 2007,~~inception, we have ~~not been~~facilitated opportunities for our employees to contribute time and resources to benefit local nonprofit organizations. Our community engagement efforts are led by our employees through a ~~party, as plaintiff or defendant,~~dedicated committee that is responsible for engaging with community organizations, planning and organizing various opportunities for employees to ~~any legal proceedings~~make a difference through volunteer giving and service, and civic involvement with

non-profit

organizations, and corporate donations.

We believe that ~~we believe to be material or which, individually or in~~ the ~~aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations if determined adversely to us.~~

initiatives described above will help us attract, hire, and retain employees.

Principal Executive Offices

Our principal executive offices are located at 800 Clinton Square, Rochester, New York, 14604, and our telephone number is (585)

287-6500. ~~Upon closing of the Internalization, we~~

We occupy approximately 24,072 square feet of space leased from Clinton Asset Holding Associates, L.P. ~~(“CAHA”), an affiliated third party. Amy Tait, our Chairman and a member of our board of directors, and members of her immediate family own interests in CAHA.~~ We believe that our offices are adequate for our present and currently planned future operations and that adequate additional space will be available if needed in the future.

Insurance

Our tenants are generally required to maintain liability and property insurance coverage for the properties they lease from us pursuant to net leases. These leases generally require our tenants to name us (and any of our lenders that have a mortgage on the property leased by the tenant) as additional insureds on their liability policies and additional named insured and/or loss payee (or mortgagee, in the case of our lenders) on their property policies. Depending on the location of the property, certain losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by earthquakes and floods, may be covered by insurance policies that are held by our tenant with limitations such as large deductibles or

co-payments

that a tenant may not be able to meet. ~~In addition,~~Certain other losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by wind/hail, hurricanes, terrorism or acts of war, may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. In the event there is damage to our properties that is not covered by insurance and such properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we will continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties are irreparably damaged.

In addition to being a named insured on our tenants’ liability policies, we separately maintain commercial general liability coverage and, in certain instances, general or specific (e.g., flood) property-level insurance coverage on certain properties or pursuant to the terms of certain of our leases. We also maintain full property coverage on all untenanted properties and other property coverage as may be required by our lenders, which are not required to be carried by our tenants under our leases.

Government Regulation

General.

Our investments are subject to various laws, ordinances, and regulations, including, among other things, fire and safety requirements, zoning regulations, land use controls, and environmental controls relating to air

and water quality, noise pollution, and indirect environmental impacts. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

Americans with Disabilities Act. (“ADA”)

Under Title III of the ADA, and rules promulgated thereunder, in order to protect individuals with disabilities, public accommodations must remove architectural and communication barriers that are structural in

Table of Contents

nature from existing places of public accommodation to the extent “readily achievable.” In addition, under the ADA, alterations to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility are to be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, such altered portions are readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. The “readily achievable” standard takes into account, among other factors, the financial resources of the affected site and the owner, lessor or other applicable person.

Compliance with the ADA, as well as other federal, state, and local laws, may require modifications to properties we currently own or may purchase, or may restrict renovations of those properties. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants, as well as the incurrence of the costs of making modifications to attain compliance, and future legislation could impose additional obligations or restrictions on our properties. Although our tenants are generally responsible for all maintenance and repairs of the property pursuant to our lease, including compliance with the ADA and other similar laws or regulations, we could be held liable as the owner of the property for a failure of one of our tenants to comply with these laws or regulations.

Environmental Matters

Federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations regulate, and impose liability for, releases of hazardous or toxic substances into the environment. Under various of these laws and regulations, a current or previous owner, operator or tenant of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up or otherwise address hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous wastes or petroleum product releases or threats of releases at the property, and may be held liable to a government entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation,

clean-up,

and monitoring costs incurred by those parties in connection with the actual or threatened contamination. These laws may impose

clean-up

responsibility and liability without regard to fault, or whether or not the owner, operator, or tenant knew of or caused the presence of the contamination. The liability under these laws may be joint and several for the full amount of the investigation,

clean-up,

and monitoring costs incurred or to be incurred or actions to be undertaken, although a party held jointly and severally liable may seek to obtain contributions from other identified, solvent, responsible parties of their fair share toward these costs. These costs may be substantial, and can exceed the value of the property. In addition, some environmental laws may create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. As the owner or operator of real estate, we also may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the real estate. The presence of contamination, or the failure to properly remediate contamination, on a property may adversely affect the ability of the owner, operator or tenant to sell or rent that property or to borrow using the property as collateral, and may adversely impact our investment in that property.

Some of our properties contain, have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Similarly, some of our properties currently are or were used in the past for commercial or industrial purposes that involve or involved the use of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, or are adjacent to or near properties that have been or are used for similar commercial or industrial purposes. These operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, and we could potentially be required to pay to clean up any contamination. In addition, environmental laws regulate a variety of activities that can occur on a property, including the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, air emissions, water discharges, and exposure to lead-based paint. Such laws may impose fines or penalties for violations and may require permits or other governmental approvals to be obtained for the operation of a business involving such activities. Any of the foregoing matters could have a material adverse effect on us.

Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”). Federal regulations require building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management to identify and warn, through signs and labels, of potential hazards posed by workplace exposure to

Table of Contents

installed ACM in their building. The regulations also have employee training, record keeping, and due diligence requirements pertaining

to ACM. Significant fines can be assessed for violation of these regulations. As a result of these regulations, building owners and those exercising control over a building’s management may be subject to an increased risk of personal injury lawsuits by workers and others exposed to ACM. The regulations may affect the value of a building containing ACM in which we have invested. Federal, state, and local laws and regulations also govern the removal, encapsulation, disturbance, handling, and/or disposal of ACM when those materials are in poor condition or in the event of construction, remodeling, renovation, or demolition of a building. These laws may impose liability for improper handling or a release into the environment of ACM and may provide for fines to, and for third parties to seek recovery from, owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or improper work exposure associated with ACM.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses, and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants, or others if property damage or personal injury occurs.

Before completing any property acquisition, we typically obtain environmental assessments in order to identify potential environmental concerns at the property. These assessments are carried out in accordance with the Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments (ASTM Practice E

1527-13)

as set by ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, and generally include a physical site inspection, a review of relevant federal, state, and local environmental and health agency database records, one or more interviews with appropriate site-related personnel, review of the property’s chain of title, and review of historical aerial photographs and other information on past uses of the property. These assessments are limited in scope. If, however, recommended in the initial assessments, we may undertake additional assessments such as soil and/or groundwater sampling or other limited subsurface investigations and ACM or mold surveys to test for substances of concern. A prior owner or operator of a property or historical operations at or near our properties may have created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the site assessments. Material environmental conditions may have arisen after the review was completed or may arise in the future, and future laws, ordinances, or regulations may impose material additional environmental liability. If environmental concerns are not satisfactorily resolved in any initial or additional assessments, we may obtain environmental insurance policies to insure against potential environmental risk or loss depending on the type of property, the availability and cost of the insurance, and various other factors we deem relevant (e.g., an environmental occurrence affects one of our properties where our lessee may not have the financial capability to honor its indemnification obligations to us). Our ultimate liability for environmental conditions may exceed the policy limits on any environmental insurance policies we obtain, if any.

Generally, our leases require the lessee to comply with environmental law and provide that the lessee will indemnify us for any loss or expense we incur as a result of lessee’s violation of environmental law or the presence, use or release of hazardous materials on our property attributable to the lessee. If our lessees do not comply with environmental law, or we are unable to enforce the indemnification obligations of our lessees, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

We cannot predict what other environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, or what environmental conditions may

Table of Contents

be found to exist on the properties in the future. Compliance with existing and new laws and regulations may require us or our tenants to spend funds to remedy environmental problems. If we or our tenants were to become subject to significant environmental liabilities, we could be materially and adversely affected.

~~Implications~~

Tax Regulation

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of ~~Being an Emerging Growth Company~~

1986, (as amended, the “Code”) beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. We ~~are an emerging growth company,~~believe that as ~~defined~~of such date we have been organized and have operated in ~~the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”),~~a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Risk Factors

Summary Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the matters discussed in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 25 of this Annual Report on Form

10-K

for factors you should consider before investing in our Common Stock:

Single-tenant leases involve significant risks of tenant default and tenant vacancies, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or public health crises, including the ongoing

COVID-19

pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the businesses of our tenants.

We have limited opportunities to increase rents under our long-term leases with tenants, which could impede our growth and materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to achieve growth through acquisitions at a rate that is comparable to our historical results, which could materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and any failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us.

The departure of any of our key personnel with long-standing business relationships could materially and adversely affect us.

Our portfolio is concentrated in certain states, and any adverse developments and economic downturns in these geographic markets could materially and adversely affect us.

The decrease in demand for restaurant, retail, and/or office space may materially and adversely affect us.

We may be unable to renew leases,

re-lease

properties as leases expire, or lease vacant spaces on favorable terms or at all, which, in each case, could materially and adversely affect us.

We could face potential material adverse effects from the bankruptcies or insolvencies of our tenants.

Global and U.S. financial markets and economic conditions may materially and adversely affect us and the ability of our tenants to make rental payments to us pursuant to our leases.

Inflation may materially and adversely affect us and our tenants.

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately $1.7 billion principal balance of indebtedness outstanding, which may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations.

Market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our Revolving Credit Facility and term loan agreements contain various covenants which, if not complied with, could accelerate our repayment obligations, thereby materially and adversely affecting us.

We are a holding company with no direct operations and rely on funds received from the OP to pay liabilities.

Failure to qualify as a REIT would materially and adversely affect us and the value of our Common Stock.

The market price and trading volume of shares of our Common Stock may be volatile.

We may not be able to make distributions to our stockholders at the times or in the amounts we expect, or at all.

Risk Factors

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements. You should consider carefully the risks described below and the other information in this Annual Report on Form

10-K,

including our ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Business and Properties

Single-tenant leases involve significant risks of tenant default and tenant vacancies, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our portfolio consists primarily of single-tenant net leased properties and we are dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue. As a result, our success depends on the financial stability of our tenants. The ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to us, including their obligations to pay rent, maintain certain insurance coverage, pay real estate taxes, and maintain the properties in a manner so as not to jeopardize their operating licenses or regulatory status depends on the performance of their business and industry, as well as general market and economic conditions, which are outside of our control. At any given time, any tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its operating results or the overall financial condition of individual properties or its business as whole. As a result, a tenant may fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent, or declare bankruptcy. The financial failure of, or default in payment by, a single tenant under its lease is likely to cause a significant or complete reduction in our rental revenue from that property and a reduction in the value of the property. We may also experience difficulty or a significant delay in

re-leasing

or selling such property. The occurrence of one or more tenant defaults could materially and adversely affect us.

This risk is magnified in situations where we lease multiple properties to a single tenant under a master lease. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, master leases contributed approximately ~~36.0%~~32.7% of our overall ABR (our largest master lease by ABR related to 2443 properties and contributed ~~2.5%~~2.1% of our ABR, and our smallest master lease by ABR related to two properties and contributed 0.1% of our ABR), ~~74.1%~~73.7% of our restaurant property ABR ~~(166~~(156 of our ~~249~~235 restaurant properties), and ~~67.2%~~37.9% of our retail property ABR ~~(85~~(84 of our ~~129~~191 retail properties). A tenant failure or default under a master lease could reduce or eliminate rental revenue from multiple properties and reduce the value of such properties. Although the master lease structure may be beneficial to us because it restricts the ability of tenants to remove individual underperforming assets, there is no guarantee that a tenant will not default in its obligations to us or decline to renew its master lease upon expiration. The default of a tenant that leases multiple properties from us or its decision not to renew its master lease upon expiration could materially and adversely affect us.

Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or public health crises, including the ongoing

COVID-19

pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the businesses of our tenants.

In response to the

COVID-19

pandemic, many countries and U.S. states, including the areas in which we operate, adopted certain measures to mitigate the ongoing public health crises. While such restrictions have largely been lifted, restrictions on

day-to-day

activities are still prevalent in many countries and U.S. states. The

COVID-19

pandemic has negatively impacted nearly every industry directly or indirectly.

Table of Contents

The

COVID-19

pandemic, and future epidemics, pandemics, and other public health crises could materially and adversely affect us 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, request rent relief requests, or declare bankruptcy;

an increase in property vacancies, which 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, senior notes, 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 pandemic, the emergence of additional

SARS-CoV-2

variants, 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.

We have limited opportunities to increase rents under our long-term leases with tenants, which could impede our ~~organic~~ growth and materially and adversely affect us.

We typically lease our properties pursuant to long-term net leases with initial terms of 10 years or more that often have renewal options. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, the ABR weighted average remaining term of our leases was approximately ~~11.5~~10.5 years, excluding renewal options. Substantially all of our leases provide for periodic rent escalations, but these

built-in

increases may be less than what we otherwise could achieve in the market. Most of our leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at a fixed amount on fixed dates, which may be less than prevailing market rates over the lease duration. For those leases that contain rent escalators based on CPI changes, our rent increases during periods of low inflation or deflation may be less than what we otherwise could achieve in the market. As a result, the long-term nature of our leases could impede our ~~organic~~ growth and materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to achieve growth through acquisitions at a rate that is comparable to our historical results, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our growth strategy depends significantly on acquiring new properties. ~~Since~~From 2015 to 2019, and in 2021, our team ~~has~~ acquired more than $500 million of net leased real estate each year, ~~with~~including approximately $1 billion during 2019. Our ability to continue to grow

requires us to identify and complete acquisitions that meet our investment ~~criteria.~~ criteria and depends on general market and economic conditions.

Changes in the volume of real estate transactions, the availability of acquisition financing, capitalization rates, interest rates, competition, or other factors may negatively impact our acquisition opportunities in ~~the future.~~2021 and beyond. 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.

Furthermore, our acquisition volume within each year has not always been consistent on a quarterly basis, nor can we guarantee it will be consistent in the future. As a result, our acquisition results that we report on a quarterly basis may not meet investors’ expectations and could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.

We may not achieve the total returns we expect from our future acquisitions, which could materially and adversely affect us.

As we pursue our growth strategy, we may encounter increasingly difficult market conditions that place downward pressure on the total returns we can achieve on our investments. Accordingly, future acquisitions may have lower yield characteristics than past and present opportunities. To the extent that our future growth is achieved through acquisitions that yield lower returns, it could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, if we fund future acquisitions with equity issuances, the dilutive impact could outweigh the benefits of acquisitions that achieve lower returns, which could materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to obtain acquisition financing or obtain other capital from third-party sources on favorable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our growth prospects and our business.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required under the Code, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at the corporate rate to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including any net capital gain. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, or repay debt obligations from operating cash flow. Consequently, we expect to rely, in part, on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain the financing on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:

general market ~~conditions;~~

conditions, including the impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic;

the market’s perception of our growth potential;

our current debt levels;

our current and expected future earnings;

the performance of our portfolio;

our cash flow and cash distributions; and

the ~~value~~market price per share of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, or satisfy our debt service obligations, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Security breaches and other technology disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Information security risks generally have increased in recent years due to the increased technological sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks. Our ~~acquisition volume~~business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and confidential information and intellectual property, including tenants’ information, private information about our stockholders and our employees, and financial and strategic information about us. We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions, malware, computer viruses, attachments to

e-mails,

persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. If we fail to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with our operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, the measures we have implemented to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents may not be ~~consistent on a quarterly basis, which may not meet investors’ expectations and could negatively impact the value~~effective.

~~Our team has acquired more than $500 million~~IT networks and related systems or the technology systems of ~~net leased real estate every year since 2015, with approximately $1 billion during 2019. However, our acquisition volume within each year has not always been consistent~~third parties on ~~a quarterly basis.

adversely affect us.

Any expansion into adjacent opportunities to our core property types may prove to be unsuccessful, which could harm our growth prospects and materially and adversely affect us.

We may seek to capture adjacent opportunities to our core property types in the net lease space. Adjacent property types may not provide us with the opportunity to earn higher returns relative to more traditional assets in our core property types. In order to be successful in capturing adjacent opportunities, we will be required to carefully analyze and develop selection criteria taking into account different competitive and operating conditions. As a result, pursuing adjacent opportunities inherently involves more risk. If we are unsuccessful in identifying compelling opportunities, it could harm our growth prospects and materially and adversely affect us.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth and any failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us.

~~Since 2015, we~~

We have grown rapidly ~~acquiring a total of $2.9 billion of net leased real estate. Our~~and our growth strategy depends significantly on continued growth through acquisitions. Our future operating results will depend on our ability to effectively manage this growth. To accomplish this, we will need to:

invest in enhanced operational systems that can scale as our portfolio grows in size;

attract, integrate, and retain operations personnel as our Company grows in complexity; and

identify and supervise a number of suitable third-parties to provide services to us.

We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to effectively manage our growth, which could materially and adversely affect us.

As we continue to acquire properties pursuant to our growth strategy, our portfolio may become less diversified which could materially and adversely affect us.

In pursuing our growth strategy, we may acquire properties that cause our portfolio to become less diversified. If our portfolio becomes less diverse, our business may become subject to greater risk, including

Table of Contents

tenant bankruptcies, adverse industry trends, and economic downturns in a particular geographic area. As a result, if any such risks of a less diversified portfolio are realized, we could be materially and adversely affected.

We face increasing competition for acquiring properties from both publicly-traded REITs and private ~~equity~~ investors that ~~may~~ have greater resources than we do, which could materially and adversely affect us.

We are facing increasing competition from other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including ~~publicly-traded~~publicly traded REITs, private and institutional real estate investors, sovereign wealth funds, banks, ~~mortgage bankers,~~ insurance companies, investment banking firms, lenders, specialty finance companies, and other entities. Some of our competitors are larger and may have considerably greater financial, technical, leasing, underwriting, marketing, and other resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that may not be available to us. In addition, other competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments and may not be subject to the same operating constraints, including maintaining REIT status. This competition may result in fewer acquisitions, higher prices, lower yields, less desirable property types, and acceptance of greater risk. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to successfully execute our growth strategy. Any failure to grow through acquisitions as a result of the increasing competition we face could materially and adversely affect us.

We face significant competition for tenants, which could materially and adversely affect us, including our occupancy, rental rates, results of operations, and business.

We compete with numerous developers, owners, and operators of properties, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights, or below-market renewal options to retain tenants when our leases expire.

Competition for tenants could decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties, which could materially and adversely affect us.

The departure of any of our key personnel with long-standing business relationships could materially and adversely affect us.

Our success and our ability to manage anticipated future growth depend, in large part, upon the efforts of our key personnel, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Christopher J. Czarnecki. Mr. Czarnecki has extensive market knowledge and relationships and exercises substantial influence over our operational, financing, acquisition, and disposition activity. If we lost his services, our network of external relationships and resources would be materially diminished.

Our ~~current~~ senior management team has worked together and collectively managed our business, operations, and portfolio since 2015 and has a strong investment track ~~record having acquired $2.9 billion of net leased real estate since 2015.~~record. Many of our other key executive personnel, particularly our senior management team, also have extensive experience and strong reputations in the real estate industry and have been instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating our business, identifying, recruiting, and training key personnel, and arranging necessary financing. The departure of any member of our senior management team, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities, and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants, and industry personnel, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our portfolio is concentrated in certain states, ~~particularly Texas and Illinois,~~ and any adverse developments and economic downturns in these geographic markets could materially and adversely affect us.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, approximately ~~33.4%~~32.3% of our ABR came from properties in our top five states: Texas ~~(10.2%~~(10.6%), Illinois ~~(6.8%~~(6.0%), ~~Michigan (5.8%~~Wisconsin (5.9%), Florida ~~(5.4%~~(4.9%), and ~~Wisconsin (5.2%~~Michigan (4.9%). These geographic

Table of Contents

concentrations could adversely affect our operating performance if conditions become less favorable in any of the states or markets within which we have a concentration of properties. We can provide no assurance that any of our markets will grow, not experience adverse developments, or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail properties. A downturn in the economy in the states or regions in which we have a concentration of properties, or markets within such states or regions, or a slowdown in the demand for our tenants’ businesses caused by adverse economic, regulatory, or other conditions, including the current economic downturn resulting from the

COVID-19

pandemic, could adversely affect our tenants operating businesses in those states and impair their ability to pay rent to us, which, in turn could materially and adversely affect us.

Our portfolio is also concentrated in certain property types and any adverse developments relating to one or more of these property types could materially and adversely affect us.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, approximately ~~43.2%~~47.4% of our ABR came from industrial properties, ~~19.5%~~19.8% from healthcare properties, ~~15.8%~~13.8% from restaurant properties, ~~9.8%~~11.2% from ~~office~~retail properties, and ~~9.6%~~7.8% from ~~retail~~office properties. Any adverse developments in one or more of these property types could materially and adversely affect us. For example, if our restaurant or retail tenants suffer weakening demand for their goods or services, it could adversely affect their ability to meet their rent and other obligations under their leases with us. It also may be difficult and expensive to

re-tenant

a property designed for a particular property type with a new tenant that operates in an industry requiring a different property type. As a result, any adverse developments in one or more of our concentrated property types could materially and adversely affect us.

The decrease in demand for restaurant, ~~and~~ retail, and/or office space may materially and adversely affect us.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, leases ~~representing approximately 15.8% of our ABR were~~ with tenants in the restaurant industry ~~and 9.6%~~represented approximately 13.8% of our ABR, ~~were~~leases with tenants in the retail ~~industry.~~industry represented approximately 11.2% of our ABR, and leases with tenants for office space represented approximately 7.8% of our ABR. In the future, we may acquire additional restaurant, retail, and ~~retail~~office properties. Accordingly, decreases in the demand for restaurant, retail, and/or ~~retail spaces~~office properties may have a greater adverse effect on us than if we had fewer investments in these industries. The market for restaurant, retail, and ~~retail space~~office properties has been, and could continue to be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional, and local economies including the impact of the ongoing

COVID-19

pandemic, the adverse financial condition of some large restaurant and retail companies, the ongoing consolidation

in the restaurant and retail industries, and the excess amount of restaurant, retail and ~~retail~~office space in a number of markets. For example, in recent years a number of companies in the restaurant industry have declared bankruptcy, gone out of business, or significantly reduced the number of their locations. As a result, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, challenges with some of our restaurant tenants, and have recorded asset impairments, which were immaterial on a consolidated basis, on certain assets as a result of increased credit losses.

Similarly, the ongoing impacts of the disruption in the retail industry, particularly adverse changes in consumer spending and consumer preferences for particular goods, services, or store-based retailing could severely impact retail tenants’ ability to pay rent. Shifts from

in-store

to online shopping could increase due to changing consumer shopping patterns and the increase in consumer adoption and use of mobile electronic devices. Further, our assessment that certain businesses are insulated from such

e-commerce

pressure may prove to be incorrect. To the extent that these conditions continue in the retail and restaurant industries, they are likely to negatively affect market rents for such properties and could materially and adversely affect us.

~~A reduction~~

In recent years, the market for office space has seen a shift in the ~~willingness or ability~~use of ~~consumers~~space due to ~~use their discretionary income~~the widespread practices of telecommuting, videoconferencing, and renting shared workspaces, which accelerated at the onset of the

COVID-19

pandemic. These trends have led, and may in the ~~businesses~~future lead, to more efficient office layouts and a decrease in square feet leased per employee. The impact of ~~our~~alternative workspaces and technology could result in tenant downsizings upon renewal, or tenants seeking office space outside of typical central business districts.

Table of Contents

These trends could cause an increase in vacancy rates at office buildings and ~~potential tenants could reduce the~~a decrease in demand for ~~our properties, which in turn~~new supply, and 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 the largest industry in our portfolio. Art Van Furniture, 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 could cause consumers to reduce their discretionary spending, which could 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.

If one or more of our top 20 tenants, which together represented approximately ~~32.6%~~30.3% of our ABR as of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, suffers a downturn in their business, it could materially and adversely affect us.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our top 20 tenants together represented ~~32.6%~~30.3% of our ABR. Our largest tenant is ~~Art Van Furniture,~~Jack’s Family Restaurants, a ~~home furnishings store,~~quick service restaurant chain, which leases 1043 properties that in the aggregate represent approximately ~~2.8%~~2.1% of our ABR. Our top 20 tenants may experience a material business downturn weakening their financial position resulting in their failure to make timely rent payments and/or default under their leases. As a result, our revenue and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be unable to renew leases,

re-lease

properties as leases expire, or lease vacant spaces on favorable terms or at all, which, in each case, could materially and adversely affect us.

Our results of operations depend on our ability to continue to successfully lease our properties, including renewing expiring leases,

re-leasing

properties as leases expire, leasing vacant space, optimizing our tenant mix, or leasing properties on more economically favorable terms. As of December 31, ~~2019, two leases~~2021, one lease representing approximately ~~0.3%~~0.5% of our ABR will expire during ~~2020.~~2022. Current tenants may decline, or may not have the financial resources available, to renew current leases and we cannot assure you that leases that are renewed will have terms that are as economically favorable to us as the expiring lease terms. If tenants do not renew the leases as they expire, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to find new tenants or that our properties will be

re-leased

at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances, early termination rights, or below-market renewal options will not be required to attract new tenants. We may experience significant costs in connection with

re-leasing

a significant number of our properties, which could materially and adversely affect us. As of December 31, ~~2019, four~~2021, two of our properties, representing approximately 0.2% of our ~~total rentable square footage,~~portfolio, were unoccupied. We may experience difficulties in leasing this vacant space on favorable terms or at all. Any failure to renew leases,

re-lease

properties as leases expire, or lease vacant space could materially and adversely affect us.

Our business is subject to significant

re-leasing

risk, particularly for specialty properties that ~~may be~~are suitable for only one use.

The loss of a tenant, either through lease expiration or tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, may require us to spend significant amounts of capital to renovate the property before it is suitable for a new tenant and cause us to incur significant costs. In particular, our specialty properties are designed for a particular type of tenant or tenant use. If tenants of specialty properties do not renew or default on their leases, we may not be able to

re-lease

properties without substantial capital improvements, which may ~~be significant.~~require significant cost and time to complete. Alternatively, we may not be able to

re-lease

or sell the property without such improvements or may be required to reduce the rent or selling price significantly. This potential illiquidity may limit our ability to modify quickly our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions, including tenant demand. Such occurrences could materially and adversely affect us.

We may experience a higher number of tenant defaults because we lease most of our properties to ~~unrated tenants.~~

tenants who do not have an investment grade credit rating.

We depend on the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to pay rent to us due under our lease for substantially all of our revenue. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, only approximately 15.7% of our ABR came from tenants who had an investment grade credit rating. A substantial majority of our properties are leased to unrated tenants. Our investments in properties leased to such tenants may have a greater risk of default than investments in properties leased exclusively to investment grade tenants. The ability of an unrated tenant to meet its rent and other obligations under its lease with us may be subject to greater risk than our tenants that have an investment

Table of Contents

grade rating. When we invest in properties where the tenant does not have a publicly available credit rating, we will use certain credit-assessment tools as well as rely on our own estimates of the tenant’s credit rating which includes reviewing the tenant’s financial information (e.g., financial ratios, net worth, revenue, cash flows, leverage and liquidity, if applicable). Our methods, however, may not adequately assess the risk of an investment and, if our assessment of credit quality proves to be inaccurate, we may be subject to defaults and investors may view our cash flows as less stable. If one or more of our unrated tenants defaults, it could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our underwriting and ~~risk-management~~risk management procedures that we use to evaluate a tenant’s credit risk may be faulty, deficient, or otherwise fail to accurately reflect the risk of our investment, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our underwriting and ~~risk-management~~risk management procedures that we use to evaluate a tenant’s credit risk may not be sufficient to identify tenant problems in a timely manner or at all. To evaluate tenant credit risk, we utilize a third-party model, S&P Capital IQ, to help us determine a tenant’s implied credit rating when a public rating is not available. However, a rating from ~~this model~~S&P Capital IQ is not the same as a published credit rating and lacks extensive company participation that is typically involved when a rating agency publishes a rating. Therefore, such rating may not be as indicative of creditworthiness as a rating published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Tenant credit ratings, public or implied, however, are only one component of how we assess the risk of tenant insolvency. We also use our own internal estimate of the likelihood of an insolvency or default, based on the regularly monitored performance of our properties, our assessment of each tenant’s financial health, including profitability, liquidity, indebtedness, and leverage profile, and our assessment of the health and performance of the tenant’s particular industry. If our assessment of credit quality proves to be inaccurate, we may experience one or more tenant defaults, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Any failure of one or more tenants to provide accurate or complete financial information could prevent us from identifying tenant problems that could materially and adversely affect us.

We rely on information from our tenants to determine a potential tenant’s credit risk as well as for

on-going

risk management. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, approximately ~~88.2%~~84.6% of our ABR ~~comes~~is received from tenants that are required to ~~periodically~~ provide us with specified financial ~~information.~~information on a periodic basis. An additional ~~4.4%~~9.4% of our ABR is received from tenants ~~(based on ABR) are public companies that are 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. Ratings or conclusions derived from both ~~our third-party credit rating model~~S&P Capital IQ and our internal teams rely on such information provided to us by our tenants and prospective tenants without independent verification on our part, and we must assume the appropriateness of estimates and judgments that were made by the party preparing the financial information. A tenant’s failure to provide

appropriate information may interfere with our ability to accurately evaluate a potential tenant’s credit risk or determine an existing tenant’s default risk, the occurrence of either could materially and adversely affect us.

We could face potential material adverse effects from the bankruptcies or insolvencies of our tenants.

If a tenant, or the guarantor of a lease of a tenant, commences, or has commenced against it, any legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other debtor’s relief statute or law (collectively, a “bankruptcy proceeding”), we may be unable to collect all sums due to us under that tenant’s lease or be forced to “take back” a property as a result of a default or a rejection of a lease by a tenant in a bankruptcy proceeding. If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, federal law may prohibit us from evicting such tenant based solely upon such bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a bankrupt or insolvent tenant may be authorized to reject and terminate its lease or leases with us. Any claims against such bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that would likely result in our receipt of rental revenues that are substantially less than the contractually specified rent we are owed under the lease or leases. Any or all of the lease obligations of our tenants, or any guarantor of our tenants, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding

Table of Contents

which may bar our efforts to collect

pre-bankruptcy

debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If our lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we may only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. We may also be unable to

re-lease

a terminated or rejected space or to

re-lease

it on comparable or more favorable terms. A bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay our efforts to collect past due balances and ultimately preclude collection of these sums, resulting in a decrease or cessation of rental payments, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Some of our customers operate under franchise or license agreements, which, if terminated or not renewed prior to the expiration of their leases with us, would likely impair their ability to pay us rent.

As of December 31, 2019, 75.0% of our restaurant property tenants operated under franchise or license agreements. Generally, franchise agreements have terms that end earlier than the respective expiration dates of the related leases. In addition, a tenant’s rights as a franchisee or licensee typically may be terminated and the tenant may be precluded from competing with the franchisor or licensor upon termination. Usually, we have no notice or cure rights with respect to such a termination and have no rights to assignment of any such franchise agreement. This may have an adverse effect on our ability to mitigate losses arising from a default on any of our leases. A franchisor’s or licensor’s termination or refusal to renew a franchise or license agreement would likely have a material adverse effect on the ability of the tenant to make payments under its lease, which could materially and adversely affect us.

~~Security breaches and other technology disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability, which could materially and adversely affect us.~~

Information security risks generally have increased in recent years due to the increased technological sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks. Our business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and confidential information and intellectual property, including tenants’ information, private information about our stockholders and our employees, and financial and strategic information about us. We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. If we fail to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with our operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, the measures we have implemented to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents may not be effective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with or disruptions of our IT networks and related systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of tenants, potential liability, and competitive disadvantage. Any of the above risks could materially and adversely affect us.

An increase in market interest rates could increase our interest costs on existing and future debt and could adversely affect our stock price, and a decrease in market interest rates could lead to additional competition for the acquisition of real estate, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

If interest rates increase, so could our interest costs for any new debt and our existing variable-rate debt obligations. Absent a simultaneous increase in acquisition yields, this increased cost could make the financing of any acquisition more expensive and lower our current period earnings. Rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. See “Risks Related to Debt Financing” for additional information. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the access current and prospective tenants have to credit, thereby decreasing the amount they are willing to pay to lease our assets and consequently limiting our ability, if necessary, to reposition our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Furthermore, the distribution yield on our Common Stock will influence the price of such Common Stock. Thus, an increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of our Common Stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. See “Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock” for more information. In addition, decreases in interest rates may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of real estate due to a reduction in desirable alternative income-producing investments. Increased competition for the acquisition of real estate may lead to a decrease in the yields on real estate we have targeted for acquisition. In such circumstances, if we are not able to offset the decrease in yields by obtaining lower interest costs on our borrowings, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

Our properties may be subject to impairment charges.

We routinely evaluate our real estate investments for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as market conditions and tenant performance. For example, the early termination of, or default under, a lease by a tenant may lead to an impairment charge. Since our investment focus is on properties net leased to a single tenant, the financial failure of, or other default by, a single tenant under its lease(s) may result in a significant impairment loss. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, we would be required to make a downward adjustment to the net carrying value of the property, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the impairment charge is recorded. Management has recorded impairment charges related to certain properties in each of the years ended December 31, ~~2019, 2018,~~2021, 2020, and ~~2017,~~2019, and may record future impairments based on actual results and changes in circumstances. Negative developments in the real estate market may cause management to reevaluate the business and macro-economic assumptions used in its impairment analysis. Changes in management’s assumptions based on actual results may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. See “Critical Accounting Polices – Long-Lived Asset Impairment” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of real estate impairment charges.

Changes in accounting standards may materially and adversely affect us.

From time to time the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and the SEC, who create and interpret appropriate accounting standards, may change the financial accounting and reporting standards or their interpretation and application of these standards that will govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes could materially and adversely affect our reported financial condition and results of operations. In

Table of Contents

some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements. Similarly, these changes could materially and adversely affect our tenants’ reported financial condition or results of operations and affect their preferences regarding leasing real estate.

We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions, which could result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets.

In the future we may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for OP Units, which may result in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired properties and/or the allocation of debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we were party to tax protection agreements covering three properties. Based on values as of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the agreements of approximately $12.3 million. In addition, in connection with the Internalization, we entered

into a tax protection agreement with Amy L. Tait, the ~~Founding~~Company’s founder, and certain members of her family (the “Founding Owners’ Tax Protection ~~Agreement.~~Agreement”), which has a potential liability of up to $10 million based on values as of December 31, 2021. These restrictions could limit our ability to sell certain assets or the OP (or our interest in the OP) at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions.

Certain provisions of our leases or loan agreements may be unenforceable, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our rights and obligations with respect to the leases at our properties, mortgage loans, or other loans are governed by written agreements. A court could determine that one or more provisions of such agreements are unenforceable, such as a particular remedy, a master lease covenant, a loan prepayment provision, or a provision governing our security interest in the underlying collateral of a borrower or lessee. We could be adversely impacted if this were to happen with respect to an asset or group of assets.

We may become subject to litigation, which could materially and adversely affect us.

In the future we may become subject to litigation, including, but not limited to, claims relating to our operations, past and future securities offerings, corporate transactions, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to vigorously defend ourselves. However, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments, or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments, and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby materially and adversely affecting us. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could materially and adversely impact us, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and materially and adversely impact our ability to attract directors and officers.

A failure to maintain effective internal controls could materially and adversely affect us.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting, disclosures, and operations are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and public disclosures, effectively prevent fraud, and operate successfully. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports and public disclosures or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. Our internal controls over financial reporting and our operating internal controls may not prevent or detect financial misstatements or loss of assets because of inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, management override of controls, or fraud. Effective internal controls can provide

Table of Contents

only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement accuracy, public disclosures, and safeguarding of assets. Any failure of these internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls as a result of changes to our business or otherwise, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, could result in decreased investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and public disclosures, civil litigation, or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could materially and adversely affect us.

A limited number of our leases may require us to pay property-related expenses that are not the obligations of our tenants, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Under the terms of substantially all of our leases, our tenants are responsible for the payment or reimbursement of property expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs in addition to satisfying their rent obligations. Under the provisions of a limited number of our existing leases and leases that we may enter into in the future, however, we may be required to pay some or all of the expenses of the property, such as the costs of environmental liabilities, roof and structural repairs, real estate taxes, insurance, certain

non-structural

repairs, and maintenance. If our properties incur significant expenses that must be paid by us under the terms of our leases, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected and the amount of cash available to meet expenses and to make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders may be reduced.

The costs of environmental contamination or liabilities related to environmental laws may materially and adversely affect us.

There may be known or unknown environmental liabilities associated with properties we previously owned, currently own, or may acquire in the future. Under various federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from environmental matters, including the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances, waste, or petroleum products at, on, in, under or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate or clean up such contamination and liability for personal injury, property damage, or harm to natural resources. Certain uses of some properties may have a heightened risk of environmental liability because of the hazardous materials used in performing services on those properties, such as industrial properties or auto parts and auto service businesses using petroleum products, paint, machine solvents, and other hazardous materials. We typically undertake customary environmental diligence prior to our acquisition of any property, including obtaining Phase I environmental site assessments. The Phase I environmental site assessments are limited in scope and therefore may not reveal all environmental conditions affecting a property. Therefore, there could be undiscovered environmental liabilities on the properties we own.

The known or potential presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell, lease, or improve the property, or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated properties in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which they may be used or which businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures.

Our environmental liabilities may include property and natural resources damage, personal injury, investigation, and

clean-up

costs, among other potential environmental liabilities. These costs could be substantial. Although we may obtain insurance for environmental liability for certain properties that are deemed to warrant coverage, our insurance may be insufficient to address any particular environmental situation and we may be unable to continue to obtain insurance for environmental matters, at a reasonable cost or at all, in the future. If our environmental liability insurance is inadequate, we may become subject to material losses for environmental liabilities. Our ability to receive the benefits of any environmental liability insurance policy will depend on the financial stability of our insurance company and the position it takes with respect to our insurance

Table of Contents

policies. If we were to become subject to significant environmental liabilities, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Although our leases generally require our tenants to operate in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, and to indemnify us against any environmental liabilities arising from the tenants’ activities on the property, we could nevertheless be subject to liability, as a current or previous owner of real estate, including strict liability, by virtue of our ownership interest and may be required to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in a property. Further, there can be no assurance that our tenants, or the guarantor of a lease, could or would satisfy their indemnification obligations under their leases. We may face liability regardless of our knowledge of the contamination, the timing of the contamination, the cause of the contamination, or the party responsible for the contamination of the property. The cost of compliance or defense against claims from a contaminated property could materially and adversely affect us.

We could become subject to liability for asbestos-containing building materials in the buildings on our property, which could cause us to incur additional expenses.

Some of our properties may contain, or may have contained, asbestos-containing building materials. Environmental, health, and safety laws require that owners or operators of or employers in buildings with asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) properly manage and maintain these materials, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with ACM, and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that ACM is disturbed during building maintenance, renovation, or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on employers, building owners, or operators for failure to comply with these laws. In addition, third parties may seek recovery from employers, owners, or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. If we become subject to any of these penalties or other liabilities as a result of ACM at one or more of our properties, it could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other adverse conditions, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediation.

When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues also can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses, and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants, and others if property damage or personal injury occurs. Thus, conditions related to mold or other airborne contaminants could have a material adverse effect on us.

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that impact the commercial real estate market in general.

Our core business is the ownership of commercial real estate that is net leased on a long-term basis to businesses in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, ~~office,~~retail, and ~~retail~~office sectors. Accordingly, our performance is subject to risks generally attributable to the ownership of commercial real property, including:

~~inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy, financial difficulties, or lease defaults by tenants;~~

changes ~~in global, national, regional, or local economic, demographic, or real estate market conditions in the markets in which we operate, including~~ the supply and demand for single-tenant space in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail sectors;

Table of Contents

increased competition for real property investments targeted by our investment strategy;

changes in consumer trends and preferences that affect the demand for products and services offered by our tenants;

inability to lease or sell properties upon expiration or termination of existing leases and renewal of leases at lower rental rates;

the subjectivity of real estate valuations and changes in such valuations over time;

the ~~illiquid nature~~potential risk of ~~real estate compared to most other financial assets;~~

functional obsolescence of properties over time;

~~changes in laws, government rules, regulations, and fiscal policies, including changes in tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws;~~

~~changes in interest rates and availability of financing, including changes in the terms of available financing such as more conservative loan-to-value requirements and shorter debt maturities;~~

~~unexpected expenditures relating to physical or weather-related damage to properties;~~

•

~~the potential risk of functional obsolescence of properties over time;~~

~~acts of terrorism and war;~~

~~acts of God and other factors beyond our control; and~~

competition from other properties.

The factors described above are out of our control, and we are unable to predict future changes in such factors. Any negative changes in these factors may cause the value of our real estate to decline, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Global ~~market~~and U.S. financial markets and economic conditions may materially and adversely affect us and the ability of our tenants to make rental payments to us pursuant to our leases.

A significant portion of our portfolio is leased to tenants operating businesses that rely on discretionary consumer spending. The success of most of these businesses depends on the willingness of consumers to use discretionary income to purchase their products or services. Our results of operations are sensitive to changes in the overall economic conditions that impact our tenants’ financial condition and leasing practices. ~~Adverse~~and a downturn in the economy 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. Accordingly, adverse economic conditions such as high unemployment levels, an increase in interest rates, a decrease in available financing, high inflation, labor and workforce shortages, supply chain issues, tax rates, and fuel and energy costs may have an impact on the results of operations and financial conditions of our tenants. During periods of economic slowdown, rising interest rates and declining demand for real estate may result in 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 decline in economic conditions could materially and adversely affect us.

Our real estate investments are illiquid.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to adjust our portfolio promptly in response to economic, financial, investment, or other conditions may be limited. Return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment generally will occur upon disposition or refinancing of the underlying property. We may be unable to realize our investment objective by sale, other disposition, or refinancing at attractive prices within any given period of time, or we may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations, or fiscal policies of the jurisdiction in which the property is located. Further, certain significant expenditures generally do not change in response to economic or other conditions, such as (i) debt service, (ii) real estate taxes, and (iii) operating and maintenance costs. The inability to dispose of a property at an acceptable price or at all, as well as the combination of variable revenue and relatively fixed expenditures may result, under certain market conditions, in reduced earnings and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Table of Contents

We face risks associated with climate change, which could materially and adversely impact us.

As a result of climate change, our properties in certain markets could experience increases in storm intensity, flooding, drought, wildfires, rising sea levels, and extreme temperatures. The potential physical impacts of climate change on our properties are uncertain and would be particular to the geographic circumstances in areas in which we own property. Over time, these conditions could result in volatile or decreased demand for certain of our properties or, in extreme cases, the inability of our tenants to operate the properties at all. Climate change may also have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of insurance (or making insurance unavailable), increasing the cost of energy at our properties, or requiring us to spend funds to repair and protect our properties against such risks. Moreover, compliance with new laws or regulations related to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes or other laws or regulations relating to reduction of carbon footprints and/or greenhouse gas emissions, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or increase taxes and fees assessed on us or our properties. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely impact us.

Inflation may materially and adversely affect us and our tenants.

Increased inflation could lead to interest rate increases that could have a negative impact on variable rate debt we currently have or that we may incur in the future. During times when inflation is greater than the increases in rent provided by many of our leases, rent increases will not keep up with the rate of inflation. Increased costs may have an adverse impact on our tenants if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in revenue, which may adversely affect the tenants’ ability to pay rent owed to us, which in turn could materially and adversely affect us.

Inflation may also have an adverse effect on consumer spending, which could impact our tenants’ revenues and their ability to pay rent owed to us, which in turn could materially and adversely affect us.

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war, or other unexpected events could materially and adversely impact us.

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war, or other catastrophic events (

e.g.

, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or other types of natural disasters or wars or other acts of violence) could cause damage to our properties, materially interrupt our business operations (or those of our tenants), cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease, or result in increased volatility in the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy. Such occurrences also could result in or prolong an economic recession in the United States. We own properties in regions that have historically been impacted by natural disasters and it is probable such regions will continue to be impacted by such events. If a disaster occurs, we could suffer a complete loss of capital invested in, and any profits expected from, the affected properties. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect us.

~~We face risks associated with climate change, which could materially and adversely impact us.~~

Moreover, compliance with new laws or regulations related to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes or other laws or regulations relating to reduction of carbon footprints and/or greenhouse gas emissions, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or increase taxes and fees assessed on us or our properties. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely impact us.

Insurance on our properties may not adequately cover all losses and uninsured losses could materially and adversely affect us.

Our tenants are generally required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for the properties they lease from us pursuant to our net leases. Pursuant to such leases, our tenants are required to name us (and any of our lenders that have a mortgage on the property leased by the tenant) as additional insureds on their liability policies and additional named insured and/or loss payee (or mortgagee, in the case of our lenders) on their property policies. ~~All~~Additionally, most tenants are required to maintain casualty coverage and most carry limits at 100% of replacement cost. Depending on the location of the property, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by earthquakes and floods, may be covered by insurance policies that are held by our tenant with limitations such as large deductibles or

co-payments

that a tenant may not be able to meet. In addition, losses of a catastrophic nature, such as those caused by wind/hail, hurricanes, terrorism, or acts of war, may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. In the event there is damage to our properties that is not covered by insurance and

Table of Contents

such properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we will continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties are irreparably damaged. In addition, if uninsured damages to a property occur or a loss exceeds policy limits and we do not have adequate cash to fund repairs, we may be forced to sell the property at a loss or to borrow capital to fund the repairs.

Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors, including terrorism or acts of war, may make any insurance proceeds we receive insufficient to repair or replace a property if it is damaged or destroyed. In that situation, the insurance proceeds received may not be adequate to restore our economic position with respect to the affected real property. Furthermore, in the event we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to rebuild such property to its existing specifications without significant capital expenditures which may exceed any amounts received pursuant to insurance policies, as reconstruction or improvement of such a property would likely require significant upgrades to meet zoning and building code requirements. The loss of our capital investment in or anticipated future returns from our properties due to material uninsured losses could materially and adversely affect us.

Our costs of compliance with laws and regulations may require us or our tenants to make unanticipated expenditures that could reduce the investment return of our stockholders.

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations. We cannot predict what laws or regulations will be enacted in the future, how future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, or how future laws or regulations will affect us or our properties. For example, we may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with applicable fire and safety regulations, building codes, environmental regulations, and other land use regulations, and may be required to obtain approvals from various authorities with respect to our properties, including ~~but not limited~~prior to ~~environmental laws and regulations and~~acquiring a property or when undertaking improvements of any of our existing properties. Additionally, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”)., all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with ADA requirements could require property-level expenditures and

non-compliance

could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both.

In most instances, our tenants are obligated to comply with these types of laws and regulations pursuant to our leases and cover costs associated with compliance. However, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of our tenants to cover such costs could be adversely affected and we may be required to expend our own funds. Further, there can be no assurance that existing laws and regulations will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or improvements, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Accordingly, Compliance with new laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require us or our tenants to incur significant expenditures, impose significant liability, restrict or prohibit business activities, and could cause a material adverse effect on us.

~~Compliance with the ADA may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that materially and adversely affect us.~~

Our properties are subject to the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. While our tenants are obligated by law to comply with the ADA and typically obligated under our leases to cover costs associated with compliance, if required changes involve greater expenditures than anticipated or if the changes must be made on a more accelerated basis than anticipated, the ability of our tenants to cover costs could be adversely affected. We could be required to expend our own funds to comply with the provisions of the ADA, which could materially and adversely affect us.

~~Compliance with fire, safety, environmental, and other regulations may require us to make unanticipated expenditures that materially and adversely affect us.~~

We are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes, environmental regulations, and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and may be required to obtain approvals from various authorities with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking improvements of any of our existing properties. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or improvements, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Additionally, failure to comply with any of these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants. While we intend to only acquire properties that we believe are currently in substantial compliance with all regulatory requirements, these requirements may change and new requirements may be imposed which would require significant unanticipated expenditures by us and could materially and adversely affect us.

Risks Related to Debt Financing

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we had approximately ~~$2.0~~$1.7 billion principal balance of indebtedness outstanding, which may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we had an approximately ~~$2.0~~$1.7 billion principal balance of indebtedness outstanding. We have incurred, and plan to incur in the future, financing through borrowings under term loans, senior notes, our Revolving Credit Facility, and mortgage loans secured by some or all of our properties. In some cases, the mortgage loans we incur are guaranteed by us, the OP, or both. We may also borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to stockholders as dividends at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gains), or otherwise as is necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to meet our cash needs or make the distributions to our common stockholders currently contemplated or necessary to qualify as a REIT. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following:

our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;

cash interest expense and financial covenants relating to our indebtedness, including a covenant in our Revolving Credit Facility that restricts us from paying distributions if an event of default exists, other than distributions required to maintain our REIT status, may limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders;

we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things, adversely affect our ability to capitalize upon investment opportunities or meet operational needs;

~~we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness;~~

~~because a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates, increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense;~~

we may be unable to hedge floating rate debt, counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under any hedge agreements we enter into, such agreements may not effectively hedge interest rate fluctuation risk, and, upon the expiration of any hedge agreements we enter into, we would be exposed to then-existing market rates of interest and future interest rate volatility;

we may be forced to dispose of properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of certain covenants to which we may be subject;

we may default on our obligations and the lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties or our interests in the entities that own the properties that secure their loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases;

•

~~we may be restricted from accessing some of our excess cash flow after debt service if certain of our tenants fail to meet certain financial performance metric thresholds;~~

we may ~~violate restrictive covenants in~~be restricted from accessing some of our ~~loan documents, which would entitle the lenders~~excess cash flow after debt service if certain of our tenants fail to ~~accelerate our debt obligations; and~~

meet certain financial performance metric thresholds;

our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.

The occurrence of any of these events could materially and adversely affect us. Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to obtain debt financing on commercially reasonable terms and adversely impact our ability to implement our investment strategy and achieve our investment objectives.

The United States and global financial markets have experienced significant volatility and disruption in the past. During the ~~mid-2000’s,~~

mid-2000s,

there was a widespread tightening in overall credit markets, devaluation of the assets underlying certain financial contracts, and increased borrowing by governmental entities. The turmoil in the capital markets resulted in constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in the real estate market, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire properties, increases in capitalization rates, and lower property values. ~~Recently,~~While, capital has ~~been~~generally become more available, ~~and~~future events or sustained negative conditions may also reduce the ~~overall economy has improved. However, the failure~~availability of ~~a sustained economic recovery or future disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could~~financing, make financing terms ~~for borrowers~~ less attractive, ~~and potentially result in the unavailability of various types of debt financing,~~ as well as impact the value of our investments in properties. If sufficient sources of external financing are not available to us on cost effective terms, we could be forced to limit our planned business activities or take other actions to fund our business activities and repayment of debt such as selling assets or reducing our cash distributions. Uncertainty in the credit markets also could negatively impact our ability to make acquisitions, make it more difficult or impossible for us to sell properties, or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining debt financing.

Market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.

We use external financing to refinance indebtedness as it matures and to partially fund our acquisitions. Credit markets may experience significant price volatility, displacement, and liquidity disruptions, including the bankruptcy, insolvency, or restructuring of certain financial institutions. As a result, we may be unable to fully refinance maturing indebtedness with new indebtedness, which could materially and adversely affect us. Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, then the interest expense relating to that refinanced indebtedness would increase. Higher

Table of Contents

interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could materially and adversely affect us and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We may incur mortgage debt on a particular property, which may subject us to certain risks, and the occurrence of any such risk could materially and adversely affect us.

We may incur mortgage debt on a particular property, especially if we believe the property’s projected cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt. In addition, incurring mortgage debt may increase the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and our loss of the property securing the loan that is in default. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure but would not receive any of the proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders to the OP or its affiliates. If we give a guaranty on behalf of the OP, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by the OP. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one of our real properties may be affected

by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, we could be materially and adversely affected.

~~An inability to refinance existing mortgage debt as it matures could materially and adversely affect us.~~

Since the mortgage loans secured by certain of our properties amortize over a period longer than their maturity, we will owe substantial amounts of principal on the maturity of such loans. If we cannot refinance these loans on favorable terms, more of our cash from operations may be required to service the loans, properties may have to be sold to fund principal repayments, or properties may be lost to foreclosure, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially and adversely affect us.

To reduce our exposure to variable-rate debt, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rate of interest as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations on floating-rate debt. These arrangements involve risks and may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. In addition, the counterparties to any hedging arrangements we enter into may not honor their obligations. Failure to hedge effectively against changes in interest rates relating to the interest expense of our future floating-rate borrowings may materially and adversely affect us.

We are subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to the agreements we have entered into governing our Revolving Credit Facility, term loans, and senior notes. These covenants require us to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including leverage, fixed charge coverage, and debt service coverage, among others. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we believe we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants. Our continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions, and thus there are no assurances that we will continue to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with these covenants would result in a default which, if we were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate our repayment obligations and thereby have a material and adverse impact on us.

Further, these covenants, as well as any additional covenants to which we may be subject in the future because of additional borrowings, could cause us to forego investment opportunities, reduce or eliminate distributions to our common stockholders, or obtain financing that is more expensive than financing we could obtain if we were not subject to the covenants. Additionally, these restrictions may adversely affect our operating and financial flexibility and may limit our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive environment, all of which may materially and adversely affect us.

Failure to maintain our current credit ~~rating~~ratings could materially and adversely affect our cost of capital, liquidity, and access to capital markets.

The spread we pay over ~~London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)~~applicable reference rates for our unsecured credit facilities is determined based upon our credit ~~rating.~~ratings. In March 2016, Moody’s assigned the OP an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 with

Table of Contents

a stable outlook, which was

re-affirmed

most recently in ~~August 2019.~~July 2020. On January 21, 2021, S&P assigned both the Company and the OP an initial investment grade credit rating of ‘BBB’ with a stable outlook. On September 14, 2021, Moody’s upgraded our credit rating to ‘Baa2’ with a stable outlook. The ~~rating is~~ratings are based on a number of factors, including an assessment of our financial strength, portfolio size and diversification, credit and operating metrics, and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. If we are unable to maintain our current credit ~~rating~~ratings it could adversely affect our cost of capital, liquidity, and access to capital markets. Factors that could negatively impact our credit ~~rating~~ratings include, but are not limited to: a significant increase in our leverage on a sustained basis; a significant increase in the proportion of secured debt levels; a significant decline in our unencumbered asset base; and a significant decline in our portfolio diversification.

We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we had approximately ~~$1.4 billion~~$752.0 million of debt outstanding for which the interest rate was tied to LIBOR. Additionally, as of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we had entered into interest rate swaps totaling ~~$909.9~~$640.0 million that fix the LIBOR component of our debt through various tenors. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) ~~that~~which regulates LIBOR, announced its intention to ~~cease sustaining~~stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. It is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA’s announcement, and there is currently no definitive information regarding the future utilization of LIBOR, including any changes in the methods by which LIBOR is determined, the frequency in which LIBOR is determined and published, or any other reforms to the determination and publication of LIBOR, or a potential transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark. As such, the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital cannot yet be determined and any changes to benchmark interest rates could increase our financing costs, which could impact our results of operations and cash flows.

June 30, 2023.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict whether LIBOR will cease to be available after 2021 or whether SOFR will replace LIBOR as the market benchmark. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method usedOur variable-interest debt instruments, including our unsecured revolving credit and term loan agreements, provide for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

We are monitoring and evaluating the related risks which arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that it will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified. We are in the process of reviewing our long-term debt agreements and interest rate swap contracts to identify those that do not contain fallback language to identify alternate interest rate ~~indices that could~~calculations using SOFR if LIBOR is no longer widely available or should the alternative interest rate prove more favorable. There can be ~~substituted for~~no assurances as to what alternative interest rates may be and whether such interest rates, will be more or less favorable than LIBOR ~~should it be discontinued. All but one~~and any other unforeseen impacts of our variable-rate term loan agreements contain such provisions. We plan to ensure that appropriate fallback language is included in future loan and swap contracts executed between now and 2021, and to amend existing contracts that extend beyond 2021 as necessary.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Our Charter contains provisions, including ownership and transfer restrictions, that may delay, discourage, or prevent a takeover or change of control transaction that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our Charter contains various provisions that are intended to facilitate our qualification as a REIT. For example, our Charter restricts the direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.8% of the value of our then outstanding shares of capital stock and no more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our then outstanding ~~common stock~~Common Stock unless exempted by our board of directors. This restriction may discourage a change of control of us and may deter individuals or entities from making tender offers for shares of our ~~common stock~~Common Stock on terms that might be financially attractive to stockholders or which may cause a change in our management. In addition to deterring potential change of control transactions that may be favorable to our stockholders, these provisions may also decrease our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of our ~~common stock.~~Common Stock. As a result, these charter provisions may negatively impact the ~~value~~market price of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

We may issue preferred stock or separate classes or series of ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, which could adversely affect the holders of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

Our Charter authorizes us to issue up to 520,000,000 shares of stock, and our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, may amend our Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we have authority to issue. Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by us in the future.

In addition, our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of our ~~common stock~~Common Stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, rights, and powers of any such stock. As a result, our board of

Table of Contents

directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock or separate classes or series of ~~common stock~~Common Stock with terms and conditions that could have priority, with respect to distributions and amounts payable upon our liquidation, over the rights of our ~~common stock.~~Common Stock. The issuance of shares of such preferred or separate classes or series of ~~common stock~~Common Stock could dilute the value of

an investment in shares of our ~~common stock.~~Common Stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock or a separate class or series of ~~common stock~~Common Stock could provide the holders thereof with specified dividend payments and payments upon liquidation prior or senior to those of the ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, and could also have the effect of delaying, discouraging, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

Termination of the ~~employment agreements~~Employment Agreements with certain members of our senior management team ~~that became effective upon the Internalization~~ could be costly.

The ~~employment agreements~~Employment Agreements with certain members of our senior management team ~~that became effective upon the Internalization~~ provide that if their employment with us terminates under certain circumstances (including in connection with a change in control of our Company), we may be required to pay them significant amounts of severance compensation, thereby making it costly to terminate their employment.

~~We may experience adverse consequences as a result of the Internalization.~~

The Internalization involved the termination of contractual arrangements with BRE, the onboarding of employees by us, and the assumption of contractual relationships and integration of services by us. There is no guarantee that the Internalization will be successful or achieve the results in the timeframe we expect or at all. In addition, as a self-managed REIT, we may encounter unforeseen costs, expenses, and difficulties associated with providing these services on a self-advised basis, which may materially adversely affect us.

~~Our ability to recover any loss that we may suffer as a result of the Internalization may be limited.~~

On November 11, 2019, we, the OP, BRE, certain of BRE’s shareholders, and other related parties entered into the Merger Agreement relating to the Internalization. The Merger Agreement contained customary representations and warranties, including representations from BRE regarding, among other things, its organization, capitalization, operations, taxes, employee matters, and liabilities. The representations and warranties of the parties in the Merger Agreement did not survive the closing of the Internalization and any alleged inaccuracies in or breaches of these representations and warranties, including those made by BRE to us, will not serve as the basis for any post-closing indemnification claims. We purchased a representations and warranties insurance policy against which we will be able to make claims in the event that the representations and warranties of BRE or other parties to us prove to have been inaccurate. The insurance policy is subject to exceptions and limitations, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to successfully recover any loss that we may suffer arising from a breach of a representation or warranty under the Merger Agreement, and as a result, we may be materially adversely affected.

Our board of directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval, which could materially and adversely alter the nature of an investment in us.

The methods of implementing our investment policies and strategy may vary as new real estate development trends emerge, new investment techniques are developed, and market conditions evolve. Our investment and financing policies are exclusively determined by our board of directors and senior management team. Accordingly, our stockholders do not control these policies. Further, our organizational documents do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Although we are not required to maintain a particular leverage ratio, we generally intend to maintain on a sustained basis a ~~modest leverage profile commensurate with~~level of Net Debt that is generally less than 6.0x our ~~investment grade rating.~~Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. However, from time to time, our ratio of Net Debt to our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may exceed 6.0x. Our board of directors may alter or eliminate our current policy on borrowing at any time without stockholder approval. If this policy changed, we could become more highly leveraged, which could result in an increase in our debt service costs and obligations. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, real estate market fluctuations, and liquidity risk. Changes to our policies with regard to the foregoing could materially and adversely affect us.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.

Maryland law provides that a director of a Maryland corporation will not have any liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. Our Charter limits the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Therefore, our directors and officers are subject to monetary liability resulting only from:

actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services; or

active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action adjudicated.

As a result, we and our stockholders have rights against our directors and officers that are more limited than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken by any of our directors or officers impede the performance of our Company, your and our ability to recover damages from such director or officer will be limited. Our Charter and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws also require us to indemnify and advance

Table of Contents

expenses to our directors and our officers for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities subject to any limitations under Maryland law or in our Charter. Moreover, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against these persons than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our stockholders’ and our recovery against such persons. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases, which would reduce the cash available for distributions.

We are a holding company with no direct operations and rely on funds received from the OP to pay liabilities.

We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through the OP. We do not have, apart from an interest in the OP, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from the OP to pay any distributions we might declare on shares of our ~~common stock.~~Common Stock. We will also rely on distributions from the OP to meet any of our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from the OP. In addition, because we are a holding company, your claims as stockholders are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of the OP and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, or reorganization, our assets and those of the OP and its subsidiaries will be able to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and the OP and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest between the interests of our stockholders and members in the OP, which may materially and adversely impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.

Conflicts of interest could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and the OP or any future member thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to our Company under applicable Maryland law in connection with the management of our Company. At the same time, we, as the managing member of the OP, will have fiduciary duties and obligations to the OP and its members under New York law and the limited liability company agreement of the OP in connection with the management of the OP. Our fiduciary duties and obligations, as the managing member of the OP, and its members may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our Company.

While we intend to avoid situations involving conflicts of interest, there may be situations in which the interests of the OP may conflict with our interests. Our activities specifically authorized by or described in the ~~interests of us. These conflicts~~OP Agreement may be ~~resolved~~performed by us and will not, in ~~a manner stockholders do not believe is in their best interest.~~

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced SEC reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We and the OP have no liability to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley requiring that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. An attestation report by our auditor would require additional procedures by them that could detect problems with our internal control over financial reporting that are not detected by management. If our system of internal control over financial reporting is not determined to be appropriately designed or operating effectively, it could require us to restate financial statements, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations, and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. The JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we have chosen to “opt out” of this extended transition period and,a

Table of Contents

The value of an investment in our ~~common stock~~Common Stock may be reduced if we, the OP, or any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and, if we are subject to registration under the Investment Company Act, we will not be able to continue our business.

Neither we, the OP, nor any of our subsidiaries intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that would impose significant and onerous limitations on our operations, as well as require us to comply with various reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure, and other rules and regulations that would significantly alter our operations and significantly increase our operating expenses.

We believe that we, the OP, and the subsidiaries of the OP do not and will not fall within the definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act as we intend to invest primarily in real property through our wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, we believe that we and the OP are and will be primarily engaged in the

non-investment

company business of such subsidiaries and therefore will not fall within the aforementioned definition of investment company.

To ensure that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries, including the OP, are required to register as an investment company, each entity may be unable to sell assets that it would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets that it would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, the OP, or our subsidiaries may be required to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise acquire or forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. Although we, the OP, and our subsidiaries intend to monitor our portfolio periodically and prior to each acquisition and disposition, any of these entities may not be able to remain outside the definition of investment company or maintain an exclusion from the definition of investment company. If we, the OP, or our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, the unregistered entity would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against such entity. In addition, the contracts of such entity would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of the entity and liquidate its business.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify as a REIT would materially and adversely affect us and the value of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

We elected ~~to qualify~~ to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, which contain the requirements for qualifying as a REIT, which we refer to in this Form

10-K

as the “REIT Requirements,” beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. We believe that we have been organized and operated in a manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with such year, and we intend to continue operating in such a manner. However, we cannot assure you that we have qualified as a REIT, or that we will remain qualified as such in the future. If we lose our REIT status, we will face

significant tax consequences that would substantially reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders for each of the years involved because:

we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate rate;

we ~~also~~ could be subject to ~~the federal alternative minimum tax for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, and~~ increased state and local income taxes;

unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions of the Code, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost; and

for the five years following

re-election

of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such

re-election,

we would be subject to corporate level tax with respect to any

built-in

gain inherent in such asset at the time of

re-election.

Table of Contents

Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce our cash available for, among other things, our operations and distributions to stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be required to make distributions to our stockholders. If this occurs, we may need to borrow funds or liquidate some of our properties in order to pay any applicable taxes. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT also could impair our ability to execute our growth strategy and raise capital, and could materially and adversely affect the ~~value~~trading price of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

Qualification as a REIT involves the application of technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of our stock, requirements regarding the composition of our assets and a requirement that at least 95% of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources, such as “rents from real property.” Also, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gains. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations, or court decisions may materially and adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state, and local income, property, and excise taxes on our income or property. For example:

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gain), and to the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including our net capital gain), we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income, as well as applicable state and local income taxes.

If we should fail to distribute, or fail to be treated as having distributed, with respect to each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of (a) the amounts actually distributed and (b) the amounts we retained and upon which we paid U.S. federal income tax at the corporate level.

If we have (i) net income from the sale or other disposition of “foreclosure property” that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or

(ii) other non-qualifying net

income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on such income. To the extent that income from “foreclosure property” is otherwise qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test, this tax is not applicable.

•

If we have net income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than sales of foreclosure property and sales that qualify for certain statutory safe harbors), such income will be subject to a 100% tax.

We may be subject to tax on gain recognized in a taxable disposition of assets acquired from a

non-REIT

C corporation by way of a carryover basis transaction, when such gain is recognized on a disposition of an asset during

a 5-year period

beginning on the date on which we acquired the asset. To the extent of

any “built-in gain,”

such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the federal ~~corporate income tax rate. Built-in gain~~

Table of Contents

corporate income tax

rate. Built-in gain

means the excess of (i) the fair market value of the asset as of the beginning of the applicable recognition period over (ii) our adjusted basis in such asset as of the beginning of such recognition period.

If we should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (which are discussed below), but have nonetheless maintained our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of the gross income amount by which we fail the 75% or the 95% test multiplied in either case by a fraction generally intended to reflect our profitability without regard to our long-term capital gain.

Similarly, if we should fail to satisfy the asset tests or other requirements applicable to REITs, as described below, yet nonetheless qualify as a REIT because there is reasonable cause for the failure and other applicable requirements are met, we may be subject to a penalty. The amount of the ~~beginning~~penalty will be at least $50,000 per failure, and, in the case of certain asset test failures, will be equal to the ~~applicable recognition period over (ii) our adjusted basis~~amount of net income generated by the assets in ~~such asset as of~~question multiplied by the ~~beginning of such recognition period.~~

highest corporate tax rate if that amount exceeds $50,000 per failure.

We may perform

additional, non-customary services

for tenants of our buildings through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), including real estate

or non-real estate

related services; however, any earnings ~~that exceed allowable limits~~ related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes.

~~In addition, TRSs~~

We will be subject to a 100% tax ~~as regular corporations in the jurisdictions in which they operate.~~

on transactions with our TRSs if such transactions are not at arm’s length.

If the OP fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.

We believe that the OP will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the OP would generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if the OP is treated as a partnership, each of its partners, including us, would be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, such partner’s share of its income. The OP may be required to determine and pay an imputed underpayment of tax (plus interest and penalties) resulting from an adjustment of the OP’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit at the partnership level. We cannot assure you that the IRS will not challenge the status of the OP or any other subsidiary ~~partnership~~ in which we own an interest as a disregarded entity or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating the OP or any such other subsidiary ~~partnership~~ as an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the OP or any subsidiary ~~partnerships~~ to qualify as a disregarded entity or partnership could cause it to become subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income tax, which would significantly reduce ~~significantly~~ the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us.

To satisfy the REIT distribution requirements, we may be forced to take certain actions to raise funds if we have insufficient cash flow which could materially and adversely affect us and the ~~value~~trading price of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and our net capital gains, and we will be subject to corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income each year, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to satisfy these distribution requirements to maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to

Table of Contents

take certain actions to raise funds if we have insufficient cash flow, such as borrowing funds, raising additional equity capital, selling a portion of our assets or finding another alternative to make distributions to our stockholders. We may be forced to take those actions even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for those actions. This situation could arise from, among other things, differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and recognition of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or the effect of

non-deductible

capital expenditures or other

non-deductible

expenses, the creation of reserves, or required debt or amortization payments. Such actions could increase our costs and reduce the value of our ~~common stock.~~Common Stock. These sources, however, may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels, the ~~value~~market price of our ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, and our current and potential future earnings. We cannot assure you that we will have

access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times, and could materially and adversely affect us and the ~~value~~trading price of our ~~common stock.~~

Common Stock.

Further, to qualify as a REIT, we must also satisfy tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets, and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the REIT ~~requirements~~Requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

The IRS may treat sale-leaseback transactions as loans, which could jeopardize our REIT status or require us to make an unexpected distribution.

We may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. The IRS may take the position that certain of these sale-leaseback transactions that we treat as leases are not “true leases” but are, instead, financing arrangements or loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a sale-leaseback transaction were so

re-characterized,

we might fail to satisfy the REIT asset tests, the income tests, or distribution requirements and consequently lose our REIT status effective with the year of

re-characterization

unless we elect to make an additional distribution to maintain our REIT status. The primary risk relates to the disallowance of deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property, which could affect the calculation of our REIT taxable income and could cause us to fail the REIT distribution requirement that requires a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and any net capital gain. In this circumstance, we may elect to distribute an additional dividend of the increased taxable income so as not to fail the REIT distribution test. This distribution would be paid to all stockholders at the time of declaration rather than the stockholders that held our shares in the taxable year affected by the

re-characterization.

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to income from “qualified dividends” payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts, and estates is 20%. Ordinary dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the 20% rate applicable to “qualified dividends” except to the extent the REIT dividends are attributable to “qualified dividends” received by the REIT itself or generally attributable to income upon which we (or a predecessor) have paid U.S. federal corporate income tax. However, for

non-corporate

U.S. stockholders, ordinary dividends payable by REITs that are not designated as capital gain dividends or ~~otherwise~~ treated as “qualified dividends” generally are eligible for a deduction of 20% of the amount of such ordinary REIT dividends, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. More favorable rates will nevertheless continue to apply for regular corporate “qualified dividends.” Although these rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, to the extent that the 20% rate continues to apply to regular corporate qualified dividends, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may regard investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of

non-REIT

corporations.

Table of Contents

The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors.

Complying with the REIT ~~requirements~~Requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the Code substantially limit our ability to hedge our assets and liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction that we enter into to manage the risk of interest rate changes with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets, or from certain terminations of such hedging positions, does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests that apply to REITs, provided that certain identification requirements are met. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions or fail to properly identify such transaction as a hedge, the income is likely to be treated as

non-qualifying

income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may be required to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because any TRS in which we own an interest may be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in any TRS in which we own an interest will generally not provide any tax benefit, except that such losses in some cases may ~~only~~be carried back against past taxable income in the TRS and may be carried forward ~~and may only be deducted~~ against ~~80% of~~ future taxable income in ~~such TRS.~~

the TRS (subject to certain limitations).

Complying with the REIT ~~requirements~~Requirements may force us to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments.

To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our assets, the sources of our income, and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. In connection with the Internalization, we were treated as having acquired substantial amounts of goodwill that may not qualify for the 75% asset test. Compliance with these limitations, particularly given the goodwill that we ~~acquire~~acquired in the Internalization, may hinder our ability to make, and, in certain cases, maintain ownership of certain attractive investments that might not qualify for the 75% asset test. If we fail to comply with the REIT asset test requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments in order to satisfy the asset and income tests or to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income, increasing our income tax liability, and reducing amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, we may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution, and may be unable to pursue investments (or, in some cases, forego the sale of such investments) that would be otherwise advantageous to us in order to satisfy the REIT ~~requirements.~~Requirements. Accordingly, satisfying the REIT ~~requirements~~Requirements could materially and adversely affect us. Moreover, if we are compelled to liquidate our investments to meet any of these asset, income, or distribution tests, or to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with one or more of the requirements applicable to REITs or may be subject to a 100% tax on any resulting gain if such sales constitute prohibited transactions.

In certain circumstances, we may be liable for certain tax obligations of certain of the members of the OP.

In certain circumstances, we may be liable for tax obligations of certain of the members of the OP. In connection with certain UPREIT transactions, we have entered or will enter into tax protection agreements under

Table of Contents

which we have agreed to indemnify members of the OP against adverse tax consequences if we were to sell, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of our assets in taxable transactions, with specific exceptions and limitations. Pursuant to the tax protection agreements, we have also agreed to ensure that such members of the OP are allocated minimum amounts of the OP’s indebtedness. If we fail to meet our obligations under the tax protection agreements, we may be required to reimburse those members of the OP for the amount of the tax liabilities they incur, subject to certain limitations. We may enter into additional tax protection agreements in the future in connection with other UPREIT transactions. Although it may be in our stockholders’ best interest that we sell a property, it may be economically disadvantageous for us to do so because of these obligations. In order to limit our exposure to a tax obligation, our use of proceeds from any sales or dispositions of certain properties will be limited. With respect to the existing tax protection agreements with property contributors (excluding the Internalization), as of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our potential indemnification obligation for the taxable sale of those properties is approximately $12.3 million.

In connection with the Internalization, we entered into the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify the Founding Owners against the applicable income tax liabilities resulting from: (1) the sale, exchange, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of the assets of BRE that we acquired in the Internalization (the “Contributed Property”) in a taxable transaction prior to February 7, 2030; and (2) our failure

to offer the Founding Owners the opportunity to guarantee specific types of the OP’s indebtedness in order to enable them to continue to defer the applicable income tax liabilities associated with the allocation of that indebtedness. Our maximum liability under the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement is capped at $10 million. ~~The aggregate built-in gain on the Contributed Property that would be allocable to the Founding Owners is estimated to be approximately $128.6 million.~~

The Blocker Corp Mergers may have adverse tax consequences.

As a general matter, notwithstanding that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if we acquire appreciated assets from a

non-REIT

C corporation in a transaction in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in its hands is determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of the C corporation, we will be subject to entity-level tax on any gain recognized in connection with a disposition (such as a taxable sale) of any such assets during the

5-year

period following such acquisition. In addition, in order to qualify as a REIT, we must not have, at the end of any taxable year, any earnings and profits accumulated in a

non-REIT

year.

Because each of Trident BRE Holdings I, Inc. and Trident BRE Holdings II, Inc. (the “Blocker Corps”) were taxable as a

non-REIT

C corporation and we acquired their appreciated assets in connection with the Internalization in transactions (the “Blocker Corp Mergers”) in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in our hands was determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of each of the Blocker Corps prior to the Blocker Corp Mergers, we will be subject to corporate income tax on the ~~“built-in~~

“built-in

gain” with respect to the Blocker Corps’ assets at the time of the Blocker Corp Mergers if we dispose of those assets in a taxable transaction within five years following the Blocker Corp Mergers. This

built-in

gain is measured by the difference between the value of the Blocker Corps’ assets at the time of the Blocker Corp Mergers and the adjusted basis in those assets. We estimate this

built-in

gain to be approximately ~~$48.7~~$56.4 million. The assets of the Blocker Corps we acquired in the Blocker Corp Mergers are the Blocker Corps’ interests in BRE. When BRE merged into the OP in a

tax-deferred

transaction and the Blocker Corps received OP Units, the

built-in

gain associated with the Blocker Corps’ assets became represented as part of an intangible asset on our balance sheet. The disposition of that intangible asset in a taxable transaction within five years following the Blocker Corp Mergers could trigger a corporate income tax on that

built-in

gain. The most likely transaction in which that intangible asset is disposed of would be a sale of the OP (or our interest in the OP) in a taxable transaction. Thus, if the OP (or our interest in the OP) is sold in a taxable transaction within five years following the Blocker Corp Mergers, we could incur a corporate income tax on approximately ~~$48.7~~$56.4 million of

built-in

gain.

Because the Blocker Corps were each taxable as a regular C corporation, we ~~succeeded to~~assumed any earnings and profits accumulated by the Blocker Corps for taxable periods prior to and including the Blocker Corp Mergers,

Table of Contents

referred to as “C corporation earnings and profits.” To qualify as a REIT, we cannot have any C corporation earnings and profits at the end of any taxable year. We ~~estimate~~estimated the C corporation earnings and profits of the Blocker Corps to be approximately ~~$14.2~~$2.3 million in total at the time of the Blocker Corp Mergers and we ~~expect to utilize~~used a nationally recognized accounting firm to prepare a study to assist management in confirming that calculation. During 2020, we ~~expect to make~~made sufficient distributions in excess of our earnings and profits (including the C corporation earnings and profits from the Blocker Corps) so we ~~will~~would not have to pay a special dividend to eliminate such C corporation earnings and profits. In effect, the inclusion of the C corporation earnings and profits from the Blocker Corps ~~will increase~~increased the portion of our distributions during 2020 that ~~are~~were taxable as dividends. However, if we were determined to succeed to more C corporation earnings and profits as a result of the Blocker Corp Mergers, ~~or we were to have less distributions than expected during 2020,~~ we may have to pay a special dividend and/or employ applicable deficiency dividend procedures to eliminate such earnings and profits. If we need to make a special dividend or pay a deficiency dividend and do not otherwise have cash on hand to do so, we may need to (i) sell assets at unfavorable prices, (ii) borrow on unfavorable terms, (iii) distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures, or repayment of debt, or (iv) make a taxable distribution of ~~common stock~~Common Stock as part of a distribution in which stockholders may elect to receive ~~common stock~~Common Stock or cash (subject to a limit measured as a percentage of the total distribution), in order to comply with REIT ~~requirements.~~Requirements. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity. In addition, if we were to rely upon the remedial deficiency dividend procedures, we would be required to pay interest based on the amount of any such deficiency dividends.

In addition to the foregoing, as a result of the Blocker Corp Mergers, we inherited any liability with respect to unpaid taxes of each of the Blocker Corps for any periods prior to the Blocker Corp Mergers.

Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws, including the recent enactment of certain tax reform measures, could have a material and adverse effect on us.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which may result in revisions to regulations and interpretations and changes to the application of existing tax rules by U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign governments, in addition to statutory ~~changes.~~changes, including those contemplated by the new presidential administration in the United States. No assurance can be given as to whether, or in what form, any proposals affecting REITs or their stockholders will be enacted.

In particular, Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), for which only limited guidance has been issued to date, significantly reforms the Code with respect to the taxation of both individuals and corporate entities, and there are numerous interpretive issues and ambiguities that are not yet clearly addressed, which require further guidance, including possibly in some cases, technical corrections. It is unclear if and when such guidance will be forthcoming, or in the case of technical corrections, will be enacted. Future regulatory guidance and legislation may significantly affect the impact of the TCJA. Changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof could adversely affect an investment in our common stock.

There may also be future changes in U.S. federal tax laws, regulations, rules, and judicial and administrative interpretations applicable to us and our business, the effect of which cannot be predicted. Our stockholders and prospective investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the ~~TCJA and the~~ status of ~~other~~ legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our ~~common stock.~~

The~~ shares of our common stock are not registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and therefore cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under such laws or unless an exemption from registration is available.Common Stock may fluctuate. In addition, ~~effective February 10, 2020,~~the trading volume in shares of our Common Stock, may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Historically, these changes frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the price of our Common Stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us in particular. If the market price of shares of our Common Stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares of our Common Stock at or above the public offering price. We cannot assure you that the market price of shares of our Common Stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly, including a decline below the public offering price, in the future.

Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the market price or trading volume of shares of our Common Stock include:

actual or anticipated declines in our quarterly operating results or distributions;

Table of Contents

changes in government regulations;

changes in laws affecting REITs and related tax matters;

the announcement of new contracts by us or our competitors;

reductions in our FFO, AFFO, or earnings estimates;

publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;

increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of shares of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;

future equity issuances, or the perception that they may occur, including issuances of Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of equity awards or redemption of OP Units;

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we ~~terminated~~incur in the future;

additions or departures of key management personnel;

actions by institutional stockholders;

differences between our ~~previous share redemption program. Accordingly,~~actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts;

changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections;

speculation in the press or investment community; and

the realization of any of the other risk factors presented herein.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our ~~investors currently may not be able~~management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, our ability to ~~sell their shares or otherwise liquidate their investment promptly, if at all.~~

execute our business strategy, and our ability to make distributions to our stockholder.

We may not be able to make distributions to our stockholders at the times or in the amounts we expect, or at all.

We intend to make cash distributions to our stockholders in amounts such that all or substantially all of our taxable income in each year, subject to adjustments, is distributed. However, we may not be able to continue to generate sufficient cash flow from our properties to permit us to make the distributions we expect. Our ability to continue to make distributions in the future may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

We can provide no assurance that we will be able to make or maintain distributions and certain agreements relating to our indebtedness may, under certain circumstances, limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders. For instance, our Revolving Credit Facility contains provisions that restrict us from paying distributions if an event of default exists, other than distributions required to maintain our REIT status. We can give no assurance that rents from our properties will increase, or that future acquisitions of real properties or other investments will increase our cash available for distributions to stockholders. In addition, any distributions will be authorized at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and their form, timing, and amount, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, FFO, AFFO, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition, the revenue we actually receive from our properties, our operating expenses, our debt service requirements, our capital expenditures, prohibitions and other limitations under our financing arrangements, our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, applicable law, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

Distributions are expected to be based upon our FFO, AFFO, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity, debt service requirements, and capital expenditure requirements for our properties. If we do not have sufficient

Table of Contents

cash available for distributions, we may need to fund the shortage out of working capital or borrow to provide funds for such distributions, which would reduce the amount of proceeds available for real estate investments and increase our

future interest costs. Our inability to make distributions, or to make distributions at expected levels, could result in a decrease in ~~the value~~trading price of our ~~shares of our common stock.~~

Common Stock.

We may change the dividend policy for our ~~common stock~~Common Stock in the future.

The decision to declare and pay dividends on our ~~common stock,~~Common Stock, as well as the form, timing, and amount of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under our indebtedness, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, state law, and such other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. Any change in our dividend policy could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

Increases in market interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of shares of our Common Stock.

One of the factors that will influence the price of shares of our Common Stock will be the distribution yield on shares of our Common Stock (as a percentage of the price of shares of our Common Stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which are currently at low levels relative to historical rates, may lead prospective purchasers of shares of our Common Stock to expect a higher distribution yield and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the per share trading price of our Common Stock to decrease.

There may be future dilution to earnings related to shares of our Common Stock.

The market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline as a result of issuances or sales of a large number of shares of our Common Stock in the market, or the perception that such issuances or sales could occur. Additionally, future issuances or sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock may be at prices below the initial public offering price of the shares of our Class A Common Stock and may result in further dilution in our earnings and FFO per share and/or materially and adversely impact the per share trading price of our Common Stock.

Future offerings of debt, which would be senior to shares of our Common Stock upon liquidation, and/or preferred equity securities that may be senior to shares of our Common Stock for purposes of distributions or upon liquidation, may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt or preferred equity securities (or causing the OP to issue debt securities). Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive distributions of our available assets prior to our stockholders. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences, and privileges more favorable than those of our Common Stock and may result in dilution to owners of our Common Stock. Our stockholders are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on distribution payments that could limit our right to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings. Our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the per share trading price of our Common Stock.

Sales of substantial amounts of our capital stock in the public markets may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.

Our Charter provides that we may issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00025 par value, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. Moreover, under Maryland law and as

Table of Contents

provided in our Charter, a majority of our entire board of directors has the power to amend our Charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue without stockholder approval. Future issuances of shares of our Common Stock, securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, or shares of our preferred stock may dilute the ownership interest of our common ~~stock.~~

stockholders. Because our decision to issue additional equity or convertible or exchangeable securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future issuances. In addition, we are not required to offer any such securities to existing stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing stockholders to participate in such future issuances, which may dilute the existing stockholders’ interests in us.

Market Information

~~There~~

Our Common Stock is ~~no established public trading market for~~traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BNL.”

Stockholders

As of February 17, 2022, there were approximately 543 holders of record of our Common Stock. However, because many of our shares of common ~~stock. There~~stock are ~~no issued or outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock. Each outstanding OP Unit is convertible into one share~~held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we believe there are considerably more beneficial holders of our common stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations. As of February 15, 2020, there were 26,852,775 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 3,056,560 OP Units issued and outstanding.

~~Stockholders~~

~~As of February 15, 2020, there were approximately 3,850 holders of shares of our common stock.~~

~~Determined Share Value~~

Historically, shares of common stock have been sold by us in a private offering at a price equal to the Determined Share Value, which is established at least quarterly by the committee of our board of directors comprised of our independent directors (“Independent Directors Committee”) based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of our portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Independent Directors Committee may determine. The Independent Directors Committee bears sole responsibility for establishing the Determined Share Value. Our determination of NAV applies valuation definitions and methodologies prescribed by ASC 820, ~~Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures~~, in order to fair value our net assets. Our net assets are primarily comprised of our investment in rental property and debt. Our net asset valuation also includes other assets and liabilities such as cash, interest rate swaps, and accounts payable, among others, and excludes intangible assets and liabilities. The values ascribed to our mortgages, unsecured notes, and interest rate swaps are marked to market each quarter. Members of our senior executive, portfolio management, accounting, and finance teams are responsible for performing the valuation process and computing the NAV. The Independent Directors Committee is responsible for overseeing the valuation process for the purpose of maintaining independence from conflicts of interest with the management group that determines the NAV. To assist in assessing management’s calculation of the NAV and the valuation of the investment in rental property in the determination of the Determined Share Value by the Independent Directors Committee, we engage a third-party valuation specialist to provide: (i) a high-level/negative assurance review of management’s quarterly portfolio valuation and estimated NAV calculation, which currently occurs as of the end of each of the first, second, and fourth quarters of each calendar year, (ii) a review of individual property appraisals, which are completed for each property on a rolling two-year basis, and (iii) a full positive assurance valuation and review of the portfolio, which currently occurs during the third quarter of each calendar year. The third-party valuation specialist is not responsible for determining the NAV. The positive and negative assurance provided by the third-party valuation specialist has generally found that the real estate values used to establish the Determined Share Values by the Independent Directors Committee have been reasonable and within market parameters.

Common Stock than record holders.

The Determined Share Value at any given point in time is based on the NAV as of a historical balance sheet date. The following table presents our Determined Share Value as of the end of each quarter during the past two years, together with the corresponding NAV per diluted share as of the preceding quarter-end:

The Determined Share Value is applied to outstanding shares prospectively, and is 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 DRIP and share redemption program as of February 10, 2020. In arriving at the Determined Share Value, any differences from NAV are typically the result of the Independent Directors Committee’s understanding of current market conditions and review of assumptions used to value net assets by management in arriving at the NAV. The adjustments do not follow a systematic methodology, but instead allow the Independent Directors Committee to use judgment in determining whether temporary market fluctuations are indicative of changes in core real estate values. In arriving at the Determined Share Value, any differences from NAV for the periods presented above reflect the inherent imprecision in the valuation estimates.

The fair value of our investment in rental property is performed using the market approach, whereby we assign an implied market capitalization rate to derive the property valuations. Newly acquired properties are valued at purchase price for the first six months they are in the portfolio. All other individual property valuations are calculated by dividing the contractual rental payments over the next 12 months by the implied market capitalization rate. The market capitalization rate assumption reflects our analysis of what a market participant would be willing to pay for a property given the contractual monthly rental payments, third-party appraisals, and an analysis of a tenant’s creditworthiness, among other factors. We deem this methodology to be appropriate based on the nature of our leases, whereby the tenants are generally responsible for the maintenance, insurance, and property taxes associated with the properties they lease from us. Net leases provide predictable cash flows, which we then apply against the market capitalization rates. This methodology is consistent with the valuation techniques used to determine the aggregate purchase price of acquisitions. As our acquisition targets are generally fully occupied, single-tenant, net leased properties, we do not anticipate paying for material capital expenditures, and therefore, exclude such expenditures from our valuations. We estimate the fair value of debt (which incorporates the fair value of interest rate swap assets and liabilities) utilizing methodologies consistent with those used to prepare our GAAP financial statements and disclosures and discussed in Note 2 of Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 December 31, 2019, and September 30, 2019, supporting the Determined Share Value in effect for the periods of February 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, and November 1, 2019, through January 31, 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 December 31, 2019, 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 $79.44. Conversely, a decrease in the weighted average implied capitalization rate used as of December 31, 2019, of 0.25% would result in an increase in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.9%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $91.45. Assuming all other factors remain unchanged, an increase in the weighted average implied market capitalization rate used as of September 30, 2019, of 0.25% would have resulted 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 $78.18. Conversely, a decrease in the weighted average implied capitalization rate used as of September 30, 2019, of 0.25% would have resulted in an increase in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.9%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $90.53.

Our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different Determined Share Value.

~~Senior Notes~~

On March 16, 2017, we and the OP entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement with each of the purchasers of a private offering of $150 million unsecured, fixed-rate, interest-only senior notes (“Series A Notes”). The closing of the issuance of the Series A Notes occurred on April 18, 2017. The Series A Notes were issued by the OP and are guaranteed by us. The Series A Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.84% per annum (priced at 240 basis points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at the time of pricing), and mature on April 18, 2027.

On July 2, 2018, we and the OP entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement with each of the purchasers of a private offering of unsecured, fixed-rate, interest-only senior notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Note and Guaranty Agreement, we issued and sold $325 million aggregate principal amount of notes in two series: (i) $225 million aggregate principal amount of Series B Guaranteed Senior Notes (the “Series B Notes”), and (ii) $100 million aggregate principal amount of Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes (the “Series C Notes”).

~~Distribution and Distribution Reinvestment~~

~~Distributions are paid when and as declared by our board of directors, currently~~Common Stock on a ~~monthly~~quarterly basis. ~~Distribution payments are expected~~We paid a $0.250 quarterly distribution for the first quarter of 2021, a $0.255 quarterly distribution for the second and third quarter of 2021, and a $0.265 quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 2021. On February 17, 2022, the Board declared a quarterly dividend for the first quarter of 2022 of $0.265 per share, payable to ~~be made approximately 15 days after the end of each month to stockholders~~holders of record on ~~the record date, which is generally the next-to-the-last business day of the prior month. Subscribers making an investment at an end of month closing will begin~~March 31, 2022 and to ~~accrue dividends in the subsequent month and, if they are stockholders of record~~be paid on ~~the record date at the end of such month, they will receive their initial distribution approximately~~or before April 15, ~~days after the subsequent month is complete.~~

While we intend to ~~make distributions sufficient~~continue paying regular quarterly dividends to ~~satisfy~~stockholders, the ~~requirements for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes. Generally, income distributed as dividends~~authorization of future dividend declarations will ~~not~~ be taxable to us under the Code if we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding our net capital gains. Dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors ~~but~~and will ~~be guided, in substantial part, by a desire to cause us to comply with~~depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT ~~qualification requirements.~~

On January 10, 2020, we announced that we terminated our DRIP and share redemption program, each 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.

~~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, 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 has historically been provided through a combination of cash generated by operations, the sale of assets, and borrowings. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we fulfilled all of the repurchase requests and repurchased shares of our common stock pursuantbe filed relating to our ~~share redemption program. We did not defer or reject any redemption requests during this period. On January 10, 2020, we announced that we terminated our share redemption program, effective as~~2022 Annual Meeting of ~~February 10, 2020.~~

Performance Graph

The following graph is a comparison of the cumulative total return of shares of our common stock, the Russell 2000, and the MCSI US REIT Index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, ~~2014,~~2016, in each of shares of our common stock, the Russell 2000 and the MCSI US REIT Index, and that all dividends were reinvested. With respect to shares of our common stock, we have assumed that dividends were reinvested in additional shares of common stock pursuant to our DRIP at a per share price equal to 98% of the Determined Share Value as of the applicable distribution date. There can be no assurance that the performance of our shares will continue in line with the same or similar trends depicted in the graph below. The MCSI US REIT Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is comprised of equity REITs. The index is based on MSCI USA Investable Market Index (IMI), its parent index, which captures large, mid, and small capitalization securities. While funds used in this benchmark typically target institutional investors and have characteristics that differ from us (including differing fees), we feel that the MCSI US REIT Index is an appropriate and accepted index for the purpose of evaluating returns on investments in direct real estate funds.

~~Item 7.~~

~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of~~ ~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

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, retail, and office property types. During the year

Table of Contents

ended December 31, 2021, we invested $654.7 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 116 properties at a weighted average initial cash capitalization rate of 6.3%. The acquisitions included properties in industrial (47%, based on ABR), retail (26%), healthcare (23%), and ~~retail property types,~~restaurant (4%) asset classes located across 28 states with a weighted average initial lease term and asminimum annual rent increases of 15.9 years and 1.5%, respectively. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our portfolio has grown to ~~645~~726 properties, with 725 properties located in 4142 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada.

We ~~derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from~~focus on investing in real estate that is operated by creditworthy single tenants in industries characterized by positive business drivers and trends. We target properties that are an integral part of ~~each of our~~the tenants’ businesses and are therefore opportunities to secure long-term net ~~leased properties in our portfolio. We typically lease our properties pursuant to~~leases. Through long-term net leases, ~~with initial terms~~our tenants are able to retain operational control of ~~10 years or more that often have renewal options. As of December 31, 2019, leases contributing approximately 98.4% of our ABR provided for periodic rent escalations, generally ranging from 1.5%~~their strategically important locations, while allocating their debt and equity capital to ~~2.5% annually, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.1%~~fund core business operations rather than real estate ownership.

Diversified Portfolio

. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our portfolio comprised approximately 32.2 million rentable square feet of operational space, and was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and 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, retail, and office 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, quick service restaurant, food processing, casual dining, flex/research and development, and general merchandise.

Geographic Diversification

: Our properties ~~were~~are located in 42 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada, with no single geographic concentration exceeding 10.6% of our ABR.

Tenant and Industry Diversification

~~In order to benefit from increasing economies~~

Strong

In-Place

Leases with Significant Remaining Lease Term

. As of ~~scale as we continue to grow,~~December 31, 2021, our ~~board~~portfolio was approximately 99.8% leased with an ABR weighted average remaining lease term 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 eachapproximately 10.5 years, excluding renewal options.

Standard Contractual Base Rent Escalation

. Approximately 97.3% of our ~~named executive officers,~~leases have contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average minimum increase of 2.0%.

Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting

. Approximately 94.0% of our tenants, based on ABR provide financial reporting, of which 84.6% are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis and ~~began directly employing 71 former employees~~an additional 9.4% of ~~BRE.~~our tenants report financial statements publicly, either through SEC filings or otherwise.

Factors That Impact Our ~~historical results~~Result of operations through December 31, 2019, 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. No amounts were payable to BRE under the termination provisions of the management agreements related to the Internalization.

~~Factors that Affect Our Results of~~ Operations ~~and Financial Condition~~

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, include rental rates, property dispositions, lease renewals and occupancy, acquisition ~~volume,~~activity, net lease terms, ~~financing arrangements and leverage, property dispositions,~~interest expense, general and administrative expenses, ~~inflation,~~tenant bankruptcies, and ~~tenant bankruptcies.~~

impairments.

Rental Rates

Our ability to grow rental revenue from our existing portfolio will depend on our ability to realize the rental escalations built into our leases. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, leases contributing approximately ~~98.4%~~97.3% of our ABR provided for increases in future annual base rent, generally ranging from 1.5% to 2.5% annually, with an ABR

Table of Contents

weighted average minimum increase of ~~2.1% of base rent.~~2.0%. Generally, our rent escalators increase rent on specified dates by a fixed percentage. Approximately ~~15.9%~~13.6% of our rent escalators are based on an increase in the CPI over a specified period and ~~1.6%~~2.7% of our leases are flat leases, meaning they do not provide for rent increases during their terms. During periods of low inflation, small increases in the CPI will result in limited increases in rental revenue from our leases that contain rent escalators based on CPI increases. However, when the CPI decreases or does not change over the relevant period, our rental revenue from such leases is not reduced and will remain the same.

Property Dispositions

From time to time, we ~~will~~ strategically dispose of properties, primarily ~~where~~when 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. The~~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.

Lease Renewals and Occupancy

As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, the ABR weighted average remaining term of our ~~leases~~portfolio was approximately ~~11.5~~10.5 years, excluding renewal ~~options. As of December 31, 2019,~~options, and approximately ~~8.6%~~14.5% of our leases (based on ABR) will expire prior to January 1, ~~2025. See Item 1. Business, “Our Leases”~~.2027. 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 and are not subject to a lease, 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. ~~However, given our historically strong occupancy rates (since our inception, occupancy has generally been above 99%), we do not anticipate that such impact will be significant.~~

Our portfolio was 99.8% occupied as of December 31, 2021.

Acquisition ~~Volume~~

Activity

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 acquire additional properties. Our ability to grow requires us~~ 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.~~

financing.

Net Lease Terms

Substantially all of our leases are net leases pursuant to which our tenant generally is obligated to pay ~~all~~most recurring expenses associated with the leased property including real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, ~~repairs,~~ and ~~capital costs. A limited number of~~repairs. The remaining leases generally require ~~us to~~that we 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 December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, master leases contributed approximately ~~36.0%~~32.7% of our overall ABR (our largest master lease by ABR related to 2443 properties and contributed ~~2.5%~~2.1% of our ABR, and our smallest master lease by ABR related to two properties and contributed 0.1% of our ABR), ~~74.1%~~73.7% of our restaurant property ABR ~~(166~~(156 of our ~~249~~235 restaurant properties), and ~~67.2%~~37.9% of our retail property ABR ~~(85~~(84 of our ~~129~~191 retail properties).

Table of Contents

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 on the terms of any such debt.

~~Property Management and Asset Management Fees~~

~~Following completion~~ In January 2021, we received an initial credit rating of ‘BBB’ with a stable outlook from S&P, which lowered the ~~Internalization,~~applicable margin on our existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points in February ~~2020,~~2021, as well as a 20 basis point decrease in the applicable margin on future Revolving Credit Facility borrowings. In September 2021, Moody’s upgraded our credit rating to ‘Baa2’ with a stable outlook, which aligned with S&P’s credit rating and therefore had no impact to our actual interest expense. However, a downgrade in our credit rating could also increase the amount of interest we ~~will no longer~~ pay ~~property management and asset management fees, which had historically increased in correlation to the size of~~under our ~~portfolio.~~

debt agreements.

General and Administrative Expenses

~~Following completion of the Internalization, our~~

Our general and administrative expenses ~~will include direct employee~~primarily consist of compensation and related costs, ~~for our 71 employees. In addition, our~~third party legal, accounting, and consulting expenses, travel and entertainment, and general and administrative expenses include certain professional fees, consulting, portfolio servicing costs, and other general and administrative expenses not previously incurred based upon our externally managed structure. Given our current team and structure, we expect that as our portfolio grows, we will experience limited increases in general and administrative expenses in the next few years after 2020, as those expenses are expected to grow at a significantly slower rate than the overall portfolio and corresponding lease revenues.

Impact of Inflation

Our ~~rental revenues may be impacted by inflation. Many~~leases with tenants of our ~~leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at~~properties are long-term in nature, with a ~~fixed amount and may not be sufficient during periods~~current weighted average remaining lease term of ~~high inflation. Leases that contributed approximately 15.9% of our ABR~~10.5 years as of December 31, ~~2019, contained rent escalators based on increases in CPI and~~2021. To mitigate 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~~fixed revenue streams, we have implemented limited ~~since~~escalation clauses in our leases. As of December 31, 2021, substantially all of our leases ~~are~~had contractual lease escalations, with an annual weighted average of 2.0%. A majority of our leases have fixed annual rent increases or periodic escalations over the term of the lease (

e.g.

, a 10% increase every five years), and the remaining portion has annual lease escalations based on increases in the CPI. These lease escalations mitigate the risk of fixed revenue streams in the case of an inflationary economic environment, and provide increased return in otherwise stable market conditions. As a majority of our portfolio has fixed lease escalations, there is a risk that inflation could be greater than the contractual rent increases.

Our focus on single-tenant, net leases ~~and property-level expenses are generally paid by our tenants. To the extent we bear~~also shelters us from fluctuations in the cost of ~~such expense,~~services and maintenance as a result of inflation. For a portion of our portfolio, we have leases that are not fully

triple-net,

and, therefore, we bear certain responsibilities for the maintenance and structural component replacements (

e.g.,

roof, structure, or parking lot) that may be required in the future, although the tenants are still required to pay all operating expenses associated with the property (

e.g.

, real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance). Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact to our tenants and their creditworthiness if the increase in costs are greater than their increase in revenue. Where we cannot implement a

triple-net

lease, 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.~~

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~~tenants and maintain our portfolio’s occupancy. We have historically experienced only a limited number of tenant bankruptcies, which have not been material to our ~~historical~~financial results.

~~Results of Operations~~

Our historical results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, discussed below, include the payment of asset and property management fees that we will no longer pay following the Internalization, and do not include the expected direct compensation expense associated with 71 employees employed by us following the Internalization or incremental general and administrative expenses.

Discussion of our Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 was previously filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “~~Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2017~~.”

~~Overview~~

As of December 31, 2019, our real estate investment portfolio had a net book value of $3.5 billion, consisting of investments in 645 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. All but four of our properties were subject to a lease as of December 31, 2019, and substantially all of our leasing activity related to our real estate acquisitions.

The increase in lease revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio, which was achieved through rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, coupled with rental revenue generated from accretive property acquisitions and continued strong portfolio operating performance. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we acquired 74 new properties for $1.0 billion, excluding capitalized acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we experienced greater than 99% rent collection and occupancy (based on rentable square footage). As of December 31, 2019, the ABR weighted average annual rent increases on our portfolio was 2.1%.

~~Depreciation and amortization~~

~~The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio, as discussed above.~~

~~Asset management fees~~

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. The increase in asset management fees during 2019, was primarily the result of an increase in our total outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis, which resulted from continued equity capital investments. As of December 31, 2019, there were 27.7 million shares of our common stock and OP Units outstanding, compared to 23.8 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase in equity capital was used to partially fund the continued growth in our real estate portfolio.

~~Property management fees~~

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. The increase in property management fees during the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily the result of growth in our portfolio as a result of additional property acquisitions and rent escalations.

~~Property and operating expense~~

The increase in property and operating expense was mainly attributable to the number of properties we own for which we are responsible for engaging a third-party manager to manage ongoing property maintenance, along with insurance and real estate taxes associated with those properties. We pay a majority of these expenses and are reimbursed by the tenants under the terms of the respective leases. There was a corresponding increase in operating expenses billed to tenants and included within Lease revenues.

~~General and administrative~~

The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019, was mainly attributable to a decrease in bad debt expense, which was approximately $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. As discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, prior to the adoption of ASC 842, provisions for doubtful accounts were recorded as bad debt expense and included in General and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded as an offset to Lease revenues, and totaled $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. As a result of the completion of the Internalization, our general and administrative expenses will include in the future direct employee compensation costs for 71 employees. In addition, our general and administrative expenses will include certain professional fees, consulting, portfolio servicing costs, and other general and administrative expenses not incurred under our previous externally managed structure. Given our current team and structure, we expect that as our portfolio grows, we will experience limited increases in general and administrative expenses in the next few years after 2020, as those expenses are expected to grow at a significantly slower rate than the overall portfolio and corresponding lease revenues.

~~Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties~~

~~During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized $3.5 million of impairment on our investments in rental properties.~~ 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

Table of Contents

in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived 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, changes in the future, we may have to recognize an impairment. 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, or changes in our long-term hold strategies, could each be indicative of an impairment triggering event. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $28.2 million of impairment, of which approximately $25.7 million related to the termination of a long-term master lease in exchange for a termination fee of $35 million. Simultaneously, we sold the underlying vacant properties to an unrelated third party for net proceeds of approximately $15.3 million. Due to the nature of the separate transactions, on a gross basis we recorded $33.8 million of revenue, $4.1 million of depreciation and amortization, and $25.7 million of impairment, for a net $4 million impact to net income.

Results of Operations

Our historical results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, discussed below, include a full year of direct compensation expenses and incremental general and administrative expenses associated with being internally managed. Our historical results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, discussed below, include the payment of asset and property management fees that we no longer pay following the Internalization, and do not include the full extent of expected direct compensation expenses or incremental general and administrative expenses associated with being internally managed.

Overview

As of December 31, 2021, our real estate investment portfolio included 726 commercial real estate properties, with 725 properties located in 42 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada, and leased to tenants in various industries. All but two of our properties were subject to a lease as of December 31, 2021.

The ~~impairments recognized~~increase in Lease revenues, net was primarily due to growth in our real estate portfolio through accretive property acquisitions during 2021, partially offset by the reductions of revenues associated with property dispositions. During year, we invested $654.7 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, in 116 properties at a weighted average initial cash capitalization rate of 6.3%. Lease revenues also increased due to lease termination fee income of $35.0 million (which we classified as other income from real estate transactions in the table above) during the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, compared to $0.4 million in lease termination fee income during the year ended December 31, 2020. In September 2021, we executed the early termination of a long-term, master lease with an investment-grade office tenant in exchange for a termination fee of $35.0 million. Simultaneously, we sold the underlying vacant properties to an unrelated third party. Through the simultaneous transactions, we recorded $33.8 million of revenue, $4.1 million of amortization, and $25.7 million of impairment, for a net $4.0 million increase to net income. This resulted in a $33.8 million increase to generated funds from operations (“FFO”), but no impact to generated adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) or net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDAre.

Depreciation and amortization

The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to $11.1 million of accelerated amortization during the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the

pandemic and certain lease terminations compared to only $4.1 million of accelerated amortization during the year ended December 31, 2021, offset by additional depreciation and amortization recognized from growth in our real estate portfolio.

Interest expense

The decrease in interest expense primarily ~~from an increase~~reflects a decrease in our average outstanding borrowings, ~~as compared to 2018, due primarily to the incurrence of indebtedness associated~~combined with ~~the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition, partially offset by~~ a ~~27 basis point~~ decrease in our weighted average cost of ~~debt, inclusive~~borrowings. In September 2020, we used the proceeds of our IPO to repay $456.7 million of outstanding borrowings, including accrued interest, ~~rate swaps. We were able~~significantly reducing our leverage profile. 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 then existing $965 million of bank loans by 25 basis points beginning in February 2021. In September 2021, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) upgraded our credit rating to ~~take advantage of the decreasing~~‘Baa2’ with a stable outlook, which aligned with S&P’s credit rating and therefore had no impact to our actual interest ~~rates during the year, as our percentage of floating-rate debt increased concurrently with our funding of the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition.~~expense.

5.13x as of December 31, 2021.

Gain on sale of real estate

Our 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. During the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we recognized gains of ~~$29.9~~$13.5 million on the sale of 4931 properties, compared to gains of ~~$10.5~~$15.0 million on the sale of 2024 properties during the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~

~~Income taxes~~

The increase in income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2019, was mainly attributable to the U.S. federal and state taxes recognized on the gain on sale of certain properties held in our taxable REIT subsidiary during the fourth quarter of 2019, with no comparable activity during 2018.

~~Gain on sale of investment in related party~~

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold our investment of 100 non-voting convertible preferred units of BRE, a related party at such time, to Trident BRE LLC, another related party to BRE, for an aggregate sales price of $18.5 million. The preferred units had a carrying value of $10 million at the time of sale, resulting in a gain of $8.5 million. Prior to the sale, we received preferred distribution income on the preferred units.

Internalization expenses

During the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we incurred $3.7 million of third-party fees and consulting expenses associated with the Internalization.

~~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 shoulddid 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.

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 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 andincur these expenses including straight-line rents, 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 thus 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 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 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 presents our net income and our non-GAAP FFO and AFFO. Our measures of FFO and AFFO are computed on the basis of amounts attributable to both us and non-controlling interests. As the non-

~~controlling interests share in our net income on a one-for-one basis, the basic and diluted per-share amounts are the same.~~

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-to-period~~period-over-period comparisons. ~~These fluctuations, coupled with our ongoing equity offering, resulted in a $0.12 decrease in net earnings per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019.~~

~~AFFO~~

The increase in AFFO during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, was primarily driven by revenue growth in our real estate portfolio. This resulted from rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, accretive acquisitions and strong portfolio operating performance.

~~The $0.14 increase in AFFO per diluted share was primarily the result~~

Table of accretive acquisitions during the year, coupled with the positive per share impact of funding a larger portion of our acquisitions with lower costing debt compared to equity. We are committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet through active management of our leverage profile and overall liquidity position.

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 current investment grade credit ~~rating. As~~ratings of December 31, 2019, our leverage ratio was 45.8% of the approximate market value of our assets, compared to 41.5% as of December 31, 2018. The increase was due to incremental borrowings associated with funding the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition during the third quarter of 2019. Following the Industrial Portfolio Acquisition, we have reduced‘BBB’ from S&P and ‘Baa2’ from Moody’s. We manage our leverage profile using a ~~combination~~ratio of ~~proceeds from our private offering of shares~~Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, a

non-GAAP

financial measure, which we believe is a useful measure of our ~~common stock~~ability to repay debt and ~~increasing disposition activity.~~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 December 31, 2021, we had total debt outstanding and Net Debt of $1.7 billion, and a ~~result~~Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.13x.

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

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 net lease 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~~supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

As detailed in the contractual obligations table below, we have approximately $124.2 million of expected obligations due throughout 2022, primarily consisting of the $60.0 million 2022 Unsecured Term Loan, $2.9 million of mortgage maturities, and $60.5 million of interest expense due, including the impact of our interest rate swaps. We expect to repay our $60.0 million 2022 Unsecured Term Loan with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We expect our cash provided by operating activities, as discussed below, will be sufficient to pay for our current obligations including interest expense on our borrowings. We expect to either repay the maturing mortgages with available cash on hand generated from our results of operations or borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, or refinance with property-level borrowings.

Table of Contents

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 ishas historically been provided through unsecured term ~~notes,~~loans from commercial banks, revolving ~~debt~~credit facilities, and private placement senior unsecured notes.

In September 2021, we completed our inaugural public bond offering of $375 million aggregate principal amount of 2.600% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the “2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”), and expect to use additional public bond offerings in the future as a form of growth capital.

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,~~long-term leases, 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.

With outstanding borrowings of $102.0 million at December 31, 2021, we have $798.0 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.~~

capital structure.

Equity Capital Resources

~~Equity capital~~

On September 21, 2020, we completed our IPO and issued 37 million shares of stock for ~~our real estate acquisition activity has historically been provided from the~~net proceeds of $588.3 million, including shares issued subsequently pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option.

On June 28, 2021, we completed our ~~private~~first public

follow-on

equity offering and issued 11,500,000 shares of common stock, including ~~distributions reinvested~~shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at $23.00 per share. The net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.6 million and $0.4 million of other expenses, were $253.5 million.

On August 23, 2021, we established an

at-the-market

common equity offering program (“ATM Program”), through which we may, from time to time, publicly offer and sell shares of our ~~DRIP.~~ common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $400 million. The ATM Program provides for forward sale agreements, enabling us to set the price of shares upon pricing the offering while delaying the issuance of shares and the receipt of the net proceeds.

During the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we ~~raised $394.4~~issued 1,071,500 shares of common stock under our ATM Program, at a weighted average sale price of $26.26 per share. The net proceeds, after deducting $0.3 million ~~in equity capital to be used in our acquisition activities, of which $329.8~~for commissions and $0.5 million ~~was received through new cash investments and $64.6 million was raised through our DRIP. For the year ended~~for other issuance expenses, were $27.3 million. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2021, we ~~raised $283.7~~could issue additional common stock with an aggregate sales price of up to $371.9 million under the ATM Program.

Our public offerings have been used to repay debt, fund acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents

As we continue to invest in equity capital, of which $215.7 million was received through new cash investments, $52.2 million was raised through our DRIP, and $15.8 million was raised in exchange for OP Units through UPREIT transactions.

~~Credit Rating~~

~~We achieved our current investment grade credit rating of Baa3 based on our conservative leverage profile, diversified~~accretive real estate ~~investment portfolio, access~~properties, we expect to ~~capital,~~balance our debt and ~~earnings stability provided by the creditworthiness of our tenants. Factors that could negatively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to:~~equity capitalization, while maintaining a ~~significant increase in our leverage~~Net Debt to Annualized 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~~

Unsecured Indebtedness and Capital Markets Activities as of ~~our corporate governance structure,~~ and ~~a significant decline in our real estate portfolio diversification or~~for the creditworthiness of our tenants. 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. We have aligned our strategic growth priorities with these factors, as we believe the favorable debt pricing and access to multiple sources of debt capital resulting from our investment grade credit rating provides us with an advantageous cost of capital and risk-adjusted return on investment for our stockholders.

Year Ended December 31, 2021

~~Recent Activity~~

On February 7, 2020, we entered into a $60 million term loan agreement maturing February 28, 2022 (the “2022 Unsecured Term Loan”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan was fully funded at closing and used to partially repay BRE debt that had been assumed by the Company as part of the Internalization. Borrowings under the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan are subject to interest only payments at variable rates equal to 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%.

Borrowings under the 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are subject to interest only, semi-annual payments at a fixed rate of 2.60% per annum and mature in September 2031. The 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes were issued by our OP and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

⁽¹⁾

On January 28, 2022, we amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility, extending its maturity date to March 2026. 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 latteramended agreement contains two

⁽²⁾	~~The secured indebtedness ratio is the ratio of secured indebtedness to total market value. Secured indebtedness represents outstanding mortgage borrowings.~~

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, investment in rental property of $161.6 million and $173.5 million, respectively, was pledged as collateral against our mortgages.

⁽³⁾	~~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.~~

⁽⁴⁾

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.

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 December 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.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to our customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before we are obligated to purchase the properties.

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 December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, we had 3424 interest rate swaps outstanding in an aggregate notional amount of ~~$909.9~~$640.0 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 ~~$20.3~~$27.8 million, ~~$19.0~~$110.7 million, and ~~$10.1~~$20.3 million at December 31, ~~2019, 2018,~~2021, 2020, and ~~2017,~~2019, respectively.

revenues and expenses, including straight-line rents,

of accrued rental income, 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 ~~equity cap~~lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rental rates 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 ~~queue program~~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,

and the corresponding payments, did not impact our AFFO.

We further exclude the change in fair value of our earnout liability, lease terminations fees, 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.

conditions. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better ~~match fund inflows from equity investments with outflows for acquisitions.~~

~~Impact of Inflation~~

~~The leases in~~assess our ~~portfolio are long-term in nature, with a current ABR weighted average remaining lease term of 11.5 years as of December 31, 2019. Our rental~~ operating performance without the distortions created by

non-cash

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 December 31, 2019. Many of our leases contain rent escalators that increase rent at a fixed amountor expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be ~~sufficient during periods of high inflation. Leases that contributed approximately 15.9%~~comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our ~~ABR as~~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 ~~December 31, 2019, contained rent escalators based on increases~~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 ~~CPI~~response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and ~~the associated increases in rental revenue may be limited during periods~~characterization 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.

AFFO accordingly.

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

Table of Contents

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.

We define Net Debt as gross debt (total reported debt plus debt issuance costs) less cash and ~~$139.8 million, respectively, was pledged as collateral against our mortgages~~cash equivalents 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 the 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformance with GAAP 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. 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”, contained in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Contents

We allocate the purchase price of investments in rental property accounted for as asset acquisitions based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These generally include tangible assets, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings and other improvements, and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of

in-place

leases and acquired above-market and below-market leases. Acquisition costs incurred in connection with investments in real estate accounted for as asset acquisitions are capitalized and included with the allocated purchase price. The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income from the respective date of acquisition.

We allocate the purchase price of investments in rental property accounted for as a business combination based on the estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These generally include tangible assets, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings and other improvements, and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases and acquired above-market and below-market leases. Acquisition costs incurred in connection with investments in real estate accounted for as business combinations are expensed at the time of acquisition. The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income from the respective date of acquisition.

We use multiple sources to estimate fair value, including information obtained about each property as a result of our

pre-acquisition

due diligence and our marketing and leasing activities. Factors that impact our fair value determination include real estate market conditions, industry conditions that the tenant operates in, and characteristics of the real estate and/or real estate appraisals. Changes in any of these factors could impact the future purchase prices of our investments and the corresponding capitalization rates recognized. ~~We do not believe the assumptions used to~~

Long-lived Asset Impairment

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 long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived 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 long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the fair ~~value of the asset or asset group. A significant~~value. Significant judgment is made as to determine if and when impairment should be taken. Management’s assessment of impairment as of December 31, 2021 was based on the most current information available to management. Certain of our properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on management’s plans with respect to each of those properties, we believe that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if our ~~strategy, or one or more of the assumptions described above were to change~~expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the ~~future, an impairment may need to be recognized.~~

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 ~~our~~the use of published commercial real estate market information. We determine 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. We may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of our real estate.

~~During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we recorded~~

The following table summarizes our impairment charges ~~of $3.5 million, $2.1 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. Impairment indicators were identified due to concerns over each tenant’s future viability, property vacancies, and~~resulting primarily from changes in our long-term hold strategy with respect to the ~~overall investment strategy for~~individual properties:

Our annual testing date is November 30.

The goodwill impairment evaluation is completed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, the ~~time~~impairment review for goodwill consists of ~~measurement, and depending on~~an assessment of whether it is

Revenue Recognition

~~The Company commences~~

We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. We commence revenue recognition on ~~its~~our leases based on a number of factors, including the initial determination that the contract is or contains a lease.

Table of Contents

Generally, all of ~~the Company’s~~our 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~~we assess 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 CPI. Lease income associated with such provisions is considered variable lease income and therefore 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.

~~As described in~~ ~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~ in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~ ~~and related ASUs subsequently issued (collectively, “ASC 842”) as of January 1, 2019.~~

~~Leases Executed on or After Adoption of ASC 842~~

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 in accordance with ASC 842.~~

~~ASC 842 requires the Company to~~circumstances.

We account 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:~~we assess: (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.

~~Leases Executed Prior to Adoption~~

Lease Termination Fee Income

The Company recognizes lease termination fee income as other income from real estate transactions, a component of ~~ASC 842~~

~~A lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none~~Lease revenues, net, when all conditions of the ~~following criteria were met: (i) ownership transferred to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end~~termination agreement have been met, and collection of the lease ~~term, (ii)~~termination fee is probable. If the ~~lessee had a bargain purchase option during or at~~tenant immediately vacates the ~~end~~property upon satisfying the conditions of the ~~lease term, (iii)~~termination agreement, the Company recognizes the lease ~~term was greater than or equal to 75%~~termination fee income net of the underlying property’s estimated useful life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria were met, and the minimum lease payments were determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible,accrued rental income associated with the lease ~~arrangement was generally accounted for~~immediately, as other income from real estate transactions, a ~~direct financing lease. Consistent with ASC 840, Leases,~~ ~~if the fair value~~component of the land component was 25% or more of the total fair value of the leased property, the land was considered separately from the building for purposes of applying the lease term and minimum lease payments criterionLease revenues, net, in ~~(iii) and (iv) above.~~

~~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 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 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 in the accompanying Consolidated StatementsStatement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Management uses interest rate swap agreements to manage risks related to interest rate ~~movements on our~~movements. Management documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of, and during the term of, each hedge. Our interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable-rate ~~debt.~~ debt to a fixed rate.

The interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, are reported at fair value. ~~We adopted ASU 2017-12,~~ ~~Derivatives~~Interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and ~~Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements~~are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using an income approach.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the ~~adoption of ASU 2017-12,~~overall valuation.

If and when there was ineffectiveness realized on a swap agreement, the Company recognized the ineffectiveness as a component of interest expense in the period incurred.

ASU 2017-12 removed the concept of separately measuring and reporting hedge ineffectiveness and requires a company to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. In accordance with ASU 2017-12, the gain or loss on the qualifying hedges is initially included as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest payments (the forecasted transactions) on the related debt are incurred and as the swap net settlements occur.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and ~~Qualitative~~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 Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

Our fixed-rate debt includes our Senior Unsecured 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 ~~$1.5~~approximately $1.6 billion and ~~$1.6~~$1.7 billion, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2019.~~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 ~~rise~~were to increase 1%, and the fixed-rate debt balance ~~remains~~were to remain constant, we would expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, ~~the same way~~similar to how the price of a bond ~~declines~~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 ~~$87~~$95.5 million as of December 31, ~~2019.~~

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 ~~$1.4 billion~~$759.5 million as of December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, of which ~~$909.9~~$640.0 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 in interest would have a corresponding $1.2 million increase in interest expense annually, while a 1% decrease in interest would have ~~increased by approximately $5.0~~a corresponding $1.1 million decrease in ~~2019 if the applicable LIBOR~~interest expense annually due to certain interest rate ~~had been 1% higher.~~

floors on our variable-rate debt.

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 December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, our financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to foreign currency exchange risk.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsof Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the ~~"Company"~~“Company”) as of December 31, ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2018,~~2020, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and mezzanine equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the ~~"financial statements"~~“financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2018,~~2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in

Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the ~~Company's~~Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the ~~Company's~~Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Investment in rental property — Refer to Notes 2 and 5 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired $659.2 million of real estate, excluding capitalized acquisition costs. The Company accounts for acquisitions of real estate as asset acquisitions. For acquired properties accounted for using the operating method, the Company allocates the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of based on their relative fair value. Acquisition costs are capitalized and included with the allocated purchase price. The Company uses multiple sources to estimate fair value. Factors that impact estimates of fair value include real estate market conditions, industry conditions that the tenant operates in, and characteristics of the real estate and/or real estate appraisals.

We identified the allocation of purchase price as a critical audit matter because of management’s significant estimates utilized to estimate the relative fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the allocation of purchase price for investments in rental property accounted for using the operating method included the following, among others:

We obtained an understanding and tested the design and operating effectiveness over the Company’s controls to allocate the purchase price of investments in real estate, including controls over management’s evaluation of inputs and assumptions used in the valuation estimates.

For each acquisition, we obtained and evaluated the third-party purchase price allocation report, along with relevant supporting documentation, such as the executed purchase and sale agreement.

For each real estate acquisition, we compared the purchase price allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as to the Company’s historical allocation percentages for similar types of properties, identifying outliers for further investigation.

With the assistance of our fair value specialists, on a sample basis, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used in the third-party purchase price allocation report, including comparing the key inputs used in the purchase price allocation to external market sources.

Evaluation of long-lived asset impairment —Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment involves an initial assessment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances area present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value.

We identified the evaluation of long-lived asset impairment as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management utilizes to identify whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable, and, when applicable, the significant estimates and assumptions utilized to evaluate the long-lived asset for recoverability, including probabilities of outcomes, estimates of the hold or sell strategy, projected rental rates, and estimated disposition proceeds. Auditing these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the significant estimates and assumptions utilized by management to identify whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable and, when applicable, the significant estimates and assumptions utilized to evaluate the long-lived asset for recoverability included the following, among others:

We obtained an understanding and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls to monitor long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable, and, when applicable, the Company’s controls over the undiscounted cash flow recoverability estimates, including the estimated hold or sell strategy, projected rental rates, and estimated disposition proceeds.

We evaluated the completeness and reasonableness of the Company’s criteria to identify long-lived assets with indicators of impairment, including assessing the methodologies applied and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data utilized.

We compared the Company’s undiscounted cash flow recoverability estimates and assumptions, including estimated hold or sell strategy, projected rental rates and estimated disposition proceeds to historical results and external market sources to evaluate the reasonableness. In addition, we performed procedures to evaluate the completeness and accuracy of the data utilized in management’s recoverability estimates.

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~~office commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of ~~646~~

726

individual commercial properties with

725

properties located in 41

U.S. states ~~throughout the continental United States~~ and

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 property~~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 ~~following table summarizes~~Corporation, the ~~economic ownership interest in~~OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the ~~OP:~~

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 (as defined below) affairs. For all years presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements,Prior to February 7, 2020, the Corporation was externally managed ~~and its Board of Directors had retained the Corporation’s sponsor,~~by Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) ~~to manage the Corporation’s day-to-day affairs, to implement the Corporation’s investment strategy, and to provide certain property management services for the Corporation’s properties,~~ 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 conducted during all periods presented~~transactions.

On February 7, 2020, the Corporation, the OP, BRE, and ~~Note 19 for discussion~~certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, completed through a series of mergers (the “Mergers”) the internalization of the ~~Company’s internalization of~~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 either agreement and therefore

fees were paid under them as a result of the Internalization.

On September 18, 2020, the Corporation effected a

four-for-one

stock split on its then outstanding

26,943,587

shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) that ~~occurred~~previously had a $

0.001

par value. Concurrent with the stock split, the OP effected a

4-for-one

stock split of its outstanding OP Units.

NaN

fractional shares or OP Units were issued as a result of the stock split. All historic share and per share amounts in ~~February 2020.~~

these 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

37,000,000

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 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. Shares of Class A Common Stock were listed on the New York

Table of Contents

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 14.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the ~~Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned by the OP (collectively, the “Company”).~~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, asbecause 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 Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 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 ~~investment in rental property~~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 ~~allowance~~provisions for ~~doubtful accounts,~~uncollectible rent and credit losses, the fair value of the earnout 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.

Table of Contents

Investment in Rental Property

Rental property accounted for under operating leases is recorded at cost. Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases isand sales-type leases are recorded at its net investment, which generally represents the cost of the property at the inception of the lease.

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate as asset acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,

Business Combinations

, as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

The Company allocates the purchase price of investments in rental property accounted for as asset acquisitions based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These generally include tangible assets, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings and other improvements, and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of

in-place

Estimated fair value determinations are based on management’s judgment, which considers various factors including real estate market conditions, industry conditions that the tenant operates in, and characteristics of the real estate and/or real estate appraisals.

The estimated fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The

as-if-vacant

value is then allocated to land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information with respect to the property as estimated by management. Specifically, the “if vacant” value of buildings and equipment is calculated using an income approach. Assumptions used in the income approach to value the buildings include: capitalization and discount rates,

lease-up

time, market rents, make ready costs, land value, and land improvement value.

The estimated fair value of acquired

in-place

leases are the costs that the Company would have had to incur to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such costs include the fair value of leasing commissions and other operating costs that would have been incurred to lease the properties, had they been vacant, to their acquired occupancy level. Acquired

in-place

leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining

non-cancellable

lease terms of the respective leases to amortization expense.

in-place

leases and management’s estimate of fair market value lease rates at the time of acquisition for the corresponding

in-place

leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to ~~rental income~~lease revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the

in-place

lease value is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of above-market or below-market lease value is charged to ~~rental income.~~

lease revenue.

Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgages ~~and notes~~ payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgages ~~and notes payable~~ are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the notes’ outstanding principal balance is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of

Table of Contents

new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized. Real estate taxes, interest costs, and leasing and development costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized. Capitalization is based on qualified expenditures and interest rates. Capitalized real estate taxes, interest costs, and leasing and development costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the related assets. There were no capitalized interest or real estate taxes during the years ended December 31, ~~2019, 2018,~~2021, 2020, and ~~2017.~~

2019.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company reviews 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 long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived 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 long-lived asset or asset group exceeds ~~the~~its fair ~~value of the asset or asset group. A significant~~value. Significant judgment is made as to determine if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, was based on the most current information available to the Company. 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, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company’s ~~strategy, or one or more of the assumptions described above were to change~~expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the ~~future, an impairment may need to be recognized.~~

future.

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.

~~For~~

The following table summarizes the ~~years~~Company’s impairment charges, resulting primarily from changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands, except number of properties)	2021		2020		2019
Number of properties		7		7		4
Impairment charge	$	28,208	$	19,077	$	3,452

During the year ended December 31, 2021, an office tenant of the Company executed an early lease termination at two properties in exchange for a fee of $35.0 million, and simultaneously sold the underlying properties to an unrelated third party for aggregate gross proceeds of $16.0 million. As the sale of the underlying properties was to an unrelated third party, the Company accounted for the lease termination income and sale of properties as separate transactions in accordance with GAAP.

The Company recognized the termination fee income, net of $1.5 million

write-off

of accrued rental income associated with the lease as other income from real estate transactions, a component of Lease revenues, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Refer to the

Lease Termination Fee Income

accounting policy below for additional information on the Company’s accounting for lease terminations. As a

Table of Contents

result of the early lease termination, the Company accelerated the amortization of the remaining lease intangibles, recognizing $0.3 million in Lease revenues, net and $4.0 million in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company sold the underlying vacant properties for an aggregate sales price of $16.0 million, and incurred sales expenses of $0.7 million. The properties’ carrying value, net of the fully amortized lease intangibles, was $41.1 million, resulting in a $25.7 million loss on sale of the properties. As the lease termination income was recognized separate from the sale of the underlying properties, the $35.0 million cash receipt was not able to be factored into the properties’ future undiscounted cash flows, and the properties were immediately deemed impaired. As such, the Company recognized the loss as an impairment charge in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The following summarizes the impact of the above transactions, together with the corresponding financial statement line item:


(in thousands)
Lease revenues, net
Lease termination fee	$	35,000
Write-off of accrued rental income		(1,496	)
Accelerated amortization of above-market and below-market lease intangibles		289

		33,793
Depreciation and amortization
Accelerated amortization of in-place lease intangible		(4,046	)
Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties
Loss on sale		(25,746	)

Total impact to net income	$	4,001

The remaining impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 were immaterial. During the year ended December 31, 2020, impairment indicators primarily included changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties, which was due in part to unfavorable market trends resulting from the

COVID-19

pandemic in geographic areas where the Company had vacant properties marketed for

re-lease

or sale. Impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019 ~~2018,~~were immaterial.

Lease Termination Fee Income

The Company recognizes lease termination fee income as other income from real estate transactions, a component of Lease revenues, net, when all conditions of the termination agreement have been met, and ~~2017,~~collection of the lease termination fee is probable. If the tenant immediately vacates the property upon satisfying the conditions of the termination agreement, the Company ~~recorded impairment charges~~recognizes the lease termination fee income net of ~~$3,452, $2,061, and $2,608, respectively. Impairment indicators were identified due to concerns over tenant future viability, property vacancies, or changes to~~accrued rental income associated with the ~~overall investment strategy for the~~lease immediately, as other income from real estate ~~assets. The amount~~transactions, a component of Lease revenues, net, in the ~~impairment charges were based on management’s consideration~~Consolidated Statement of ~~the factors detailed above. In determining the fair value of the impaired assets at September 30, 2019~~Income and March 31, 2019, the measurement dates, and depending on the property being evaluated, the Company utilized a capitalization rate of 14.58%, a weighted average discount rate of 8.00%, and a weighted average price per square foot of $226. In determining the fair value of the impaired assets at September 30, 2018, the measurement date, and depending on the property being evaluated, the Company utilized capitalization rates ranging from 7.50% to 10.00%, and a weighted average discount rate of 8.00%. In determining the fair value of the impaired assets at September 30, 2017, the measurement date, and depending on the property being evaluated, the Company utilized capitalization rates ranging from 7.25% to 12.00%, and a weighted average discount rate of 8.00%.

Comprehensive Income.

Investments in Rental Property Held for Sale

The Company classifies investments in rental property as held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of investment properties, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and conduct other actions required to complete the sale has been initiated, (iv) the sale of the property is probable in occurrence and is expected to qualify as a completed sale, (v) the property is actively marketed for sale at a sale price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value, and (vi) actions

Table of Contents

required to complete the sale indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made or that the plan to sell will be withdrawn.

For properties classified as held for sale, the Company suspends depreciation and amortization of the related assets, including the acquired

in-place

lease and above- or below-market lease intangibles, as well as straight-line revenue recognition of the associated lease, and records the investment in rental property at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The assets and liabilities associated with the properties classified as held for sale are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the most recent reporting period. At December 31, ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2018,~~2020, the Company did not have any properties that met the held for sale criteria.

Sales of Real Estate

~~The Company adopted~~

Under ASU

2017-05,

Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets~~, effective January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. Under ASU 2017-05,~~

the Company’s sales of real estate are generally considered to be sales to

non-customers,

requiring the Company to identify each distinct

non-financial

asset promised to the buyer. The Company determines whether the buyer obtains control of the

non-financial

assets, achieved through the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership of the

non-financial

assets. If control is transferred to the buyer, the Company derecognizes the asset.

If the Company determines that it did not transfer control of the

non-financial

assets to the buyer, the Company analyzes the contract for separate performance obligations and allocates a portion of the sales price to each performance obligation. As performance obligations are satisfied, the Company recognizes the respective income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-05, the Company recognized real estate sales when all of the following criteria were met: (i) a sale was consummated, (ii) the buyer had demonstrated an adequate commitment to pay for the property, (iii) the Company’s receivable was not subject to future subordination, and (iv) the Company had transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and did not have continuing involvement. Unless all conditions were met, recognition of all or a portion of the profit was deferred.

The Company presents discontinued operations if disposals of properties represent a strategic shift in operations. Those strategic shifts would need to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results in order to meet the definition. For the years ended December 31, ~~2019, 2018,~~2021, 2020, and ~~2017,~~2019, the Company did not have property dispositions that qualified as discontinued operations.

Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:

~~Land improvements~~	~~15 years~~
Land improvements		15 years
Buildings and improvements		15 to 39 years
Equipment		7 years

Leasing Fees

Leasing fees represent costs incurred to lease properties to tenants and are capitalized as they are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Leasing fees are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to which they relate, which range from 4 to 25 years.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity at date of acquisition of three months or less, including money market funds. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Restricted Cash

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 ~~CPI.~~Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Lease income associated with such provisions, isabsent the existence of a floor, are considered variable lease income and ~~therefore is~~are 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.

~~Leases Executed on or After Adoption of ASC 842~~

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. IfProspectively, upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, 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 in accordance with ASC 842.~~

circumstances. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, ~~requires the~~a lease that was not an operating lease would be accounted for as a direct financing lease.

The Company ~~to account~~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.

~~Leases Executed Prior to Adoption of ASC 842~~

A lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria were met: (i) ownership transferred to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee had a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term was greater than or equal to 75% of the underlying property’s estimated useful life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) was greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria were met, and the minimum lease payments were determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement was generally accounted for as a direct financing lease. Consistent with ASC 840~~, Leases,~~ if the fair value of the land component was 25% or more of the total fair value of the leased property, the land was considered separately from the building for purposes of applying the lease term and minimum lease payments criterion in (iii) and (iv) above.

~~Revenue Recognition Under ASC 842 and ASC 840~~

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 and collectability of the lease payments is probable, the difference between such

Table of Contents

rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as Accrued rental income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

If the Company determines that collectability of the lease payments is not probable, the Company records an adjustment to Lease revenues, net to reduce cumulative income recognized since lease commencement to the amount of cash collected from the lessee. Future revenue recognition is limited to amounts paid by the lessee.

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 Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) that focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic. Under ASC 842, economic relief that was agreed to or negotiated outside of the original lease agreement is typically considered a lease modification, in which case both the lessee and lessor would be required to apply the respective modification frameworks. However, if the lessee was entitled to the economic relief because of either contractual or legal rights, the relief would be accounted for outside of the modification framework. Although the original lease modification guidance in ASC 842 remains appropriate to address routine lease modifications, the Lease Modification Q&A established a different framework to account for certain lease concessions granted in response to the

COVID-19

pandemic, if certain criteria have been met. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company to make an accounting policy election to account for

COVID-19

related lease concessions as either a lease modification or a negative variable adjustment to rental revenue. Such election is required to be applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. In accordance with elections made pursuant to the Lease Modification Q&A, straight-line revenue recognized in the financial statements was not impacted for partial rent deferrals that were expected to be repaid within a short period of time, and where there was not a substantial change to the total consideration in the original lease agreement. Deferred rents due under these agreements was recorded as Tenant and other receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 it assigned to one or more reporting units. 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’s annual testing date is November 30.

The goodwill impairment evaluation is completed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under a qualitative approach, the impairment review for goodwill consists of an assessment of whether it is

more-likely-than-not

that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If a qualitative approach indicates it is more

likely-than-not

that the estimated carrying value of a reporting unit (including goodwill) exceeds its fair value, or if we choose to bypass the qualitative approach, we perform the quantitative approach described below.

When the Company performs a quantitative test of goodwill for impairment, it compares the carrying value of its reporting unit with its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the Company does not consider goodwill to be impaired and no further analysis would be required. If the fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value, the amount of goodwill impairment equals the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

The Company determined that it has 1 reporting unit, consistent with its segment reporting analysis, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of net leased properties (i.e., the consolidated entity). When necessary to perform the quantitative test for goodwill impairment, the Company’s estimate of fair value is determined using a market approach, leveraging assumptions such as ~~follows:~~

the fair value of our equity, and consideration of a control premium, if necessary, which includes an analysis of similar market transactions. While the Company believes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of its reporting unit are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Based on the results of its annual goodwill impairment test on November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Tenant and Capital Reserves

The terms of certain of the Company’s operating leases require the establishment of tenant and capital reserves. Under the tenant reserve requirements, tenant-funded amounts are deposited into an escrow account, to be used to fund certain costs to maintain the rental properties. Under the capital reserve lease requirements, the tenants are required to pay additional amounts into an escrow account to fund capital improvements, replacements, and repairs made to the properties. The Company has no0 obligation to fund capital improvements beyond these reserve balances.

The balances of the tenant and capital reserves are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are as follows:

Earnout Liability

The Company’s earnout liability was payable in four tranches, in a combination of cash, common shares, and OP Units, in the same proportion as the initial consideration paid in the Internalization (see Note 4). The common shares and OP Units payable under the arrangement were originally subject to a redemption rights agreement, whereby holders of the common shares and OP Units had the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of the common shares or OP Units if an ~~offering.

Mezzanine Equity

The Company issued common shares and OP Units as base consideration for the Internalization, each of which were subject to a redemption rights agreement, where the common shares (“mezzanine equity common stock”) and OP Units (“mezzanine equity

non-controlling

interests”) were economically equivalent to the permanent equity classified common shares and OP Units. The Company presented the mezzanine equity common stock and mezzanine equity

non-controlling

interests as mezzanine equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they ~~are incremental costs~~were redeemable outside the Company’s control.

The Company subsequently recorded mezzanine equity common stock at redemption value each reporting period, with changes in carrying value recorded as a component of Additional

The Company subsequently recorded mezzanine equity

redemption rights agreement in Note 4).

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage risks related to interest rate movements. The interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, are reported at fair value. ~~The Company early adopted~~ ASU

2017-12,

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting and Hedging Activities,, effective January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. ASU 2017-12 amended the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging transactions and the presentation of hedge results in an entity’s financial statements.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-12, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge was initially included as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and was subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest payments on the related debt were incurred and as the swap net settlements occurred. If and when there was ineffectiveness realized on a swap agreement, the Company recognized the ineffectiveness as a component of interest expense in the period incurred.

~~ASU 2017-12 removed the concept of separately measuring and reporting hedge ineffectiveness and~~

requires a company to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. In accordance with ASU

2017-12,

the gain or loss on the qualifying hedges is initially included as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest payments (the forecasted transactions) on the related debt are incurred and as the swap net settlements occur.

When an existing cash flow hedge is terminated, the Company determines the accounting treatment for the accumulated gain or loss recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive ~~(loss) income~~loss based on the probability of the hedged forecasted transaction occurring within the period the cash flow hedge was anticipated to affect earnings. If the Company determines that the hedged forecasted transaction is probable of occurring during the original period, the accumulated gain or loss is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the cash flow hedge

using a straight-line ~~method, which approximates an effective interest~~ method. If the Company determines that the hedged forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring during the original period, the entire amount of accumulated gain or loss is reclassified into earnings ~~in the period the cash flow hedge is terminated.~~

at such time.

The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of, and during the term of, each hedge. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate.

Property Loss and Insurance Recoveries

Property losses, whether full or partial, are accounted for using a combination of impairment, insurance, and revenue recognition guidance prescribed by GAAP. Upon incurring a loss event, the Company evaluates for asset impairment under ASC 350,~~Intangibles –~~

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,

and ASC 360,

Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Under the terms of the Company’s lease agreements with tenants, a majority of which are net leases (whereby the tenants are responsible for insurance, taxes, and maintenance, among other property costs), the tenants are responsible for repairs and maintenance to the properties. The terms of the leases generally also require the tenants to continue making their monthly rental payments despite the property loss. To the extent that the assets are recoverable, determined utilizing undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition, the Company accounts for a full or partial property loss as an acceleration of depreciation and evaluates whether all or a portion of the property loss can be offset by the recognition of insurance recoveries.

Under the terms of the lease agreements with tenants, in the case of full or partial loss to a property, the tenant has an obligation to restore/rebuild the premises as nearly as possible to its value, condition and character immediately prior to such event. To mitigate the risk of loss, the Company requires tenants to maintain general liability insurance policies on the replacement value of the properties. Based on these considerations, the Company follows the guidance in ASC

610-30,

Other Income ~~– Gains~~—Gains and Losses on Involuntary Conversions,

for the conversion of nonmonetary assets (

i.e.

, the properties) to monetary assets (

i.e.

, insurance recoveries or tenant recoveries). Under ASC

610-30,

once probable of receipt, the Company recognizes an insurance/tenant recovery receivable in Tenant and other receivables, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding offset to the accelerated depreciation recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. If the insurance/tenant recovery is less than the amount of accelerated depreciation recognized, the Company will recognize a net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. If the insurance/tenant recovery is greater than the amount of accelerated depreciation recognized, the Company will only recognize a recovery up to the amount of the accelerated depreciation, and will account for the excess as a gain contingency in accordance with ASC

450-30,

Gain Contingencies.

Gain contingencies are recognized when earned and realized, which typically will occur at the time of final settlement or when

non-refundable

cash advances are received.

Non-controlling

Interests

Non-controlling

The Company ~~periodically~~ adjusts the carrying value of

non-controlling

interests to reflect their share of the book value of the OP. Such adjustments are recorded to Additional

capital as a reallocation of

Non-controlling

interests in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Mezzanine Equity.

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 5-02.30 of Regulation S-X,

Contents

~~the Company records its subscriptions receivable as a deduction from Stockholder’s equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~

Segment Reporting

The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of net leased properties. The Company’s chief operating decision maker assesses, measures, and reviews the operating and financial results at the consolidated level for the entire portfolio, and therefore, each property or property type is not considered an individual operating segment. The Company does not evaluate the results of operations based on geography, size, or property type.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820,

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 standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level

1 –

—Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are marketable,

available-for-sale

equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level

2 –

—Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Instruments included in this category are derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and credit spreads) that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level

3 –

—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 includes assets and liabilities whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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

Interest rate swaps are derivative instruments that have no quoted readily available Level 1 inputs, and therefore are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using an income approach. Specifically, the fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market data including yield curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the interest rate swaps are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) curve and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments

to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has

102

Table of Contents

determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate swaps utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. At December 31, ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2018,~~2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its interest rate swap valuations in their entirety are appropriately classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Earnout Liability

—In connection with the Internalization, the Company recognized an earnout liability that was due and payable to the former owners of BRE if certain milestones were 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

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 AFFO per share, prior to the completion of an IPO.

The Company ~~has~~utilized third-party valuation experts to assist in estimating the fair value of the earnout liability, and developed estimates by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis. These estimates required the Company to make various assumptions about share price volatility and, prior to the IPO, about the timing of an IPO and net asset prices, each of which are unobservable and considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. A change in these inputs to a different amount could have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. Specifically, advancements in the estimated ~~that~~IPO date assumption increased the ~~carrying amount reported~~earnout liability’s fair value given the earnout’s fixed time horizon. Peer share price volatilities were used to estimate the Company’s expected share price volatility, and the Company’s corresponding ability to achieve the earnout targets. Increases in the volatility assumption would increase the earnout liability’s fair value. Increases in net asset values would also increase the earnout liability’s fair value.

The Company achieved all four VWAP milestones applicable to the earnout thereby triggering the payout of all earnout tranches during the year ended December 31, 2021, and therefore no remaining earnout liability was recorded at December 31, 2021.

The table below provides a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the earnout liability as of December 31, 2020:

Significant Unobservable Inputs		Weighted Average Assumption Used				Range
Peer stock price volatility			40.0	%			25.92% - 55.90%

The table below provides a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the earnout liability as of February 7, 2020, which was the date of the Internalization:


Significant Unobservable Inputs	Weighted Average Assumption Used	Range
Expected IPO date	April 15, 2020	March 2020 through May 2020
Peer stock price volatility	20.0%	16.22% to 23.09%
Company’s net asset value per diluted share	$21.30	(a)

(a)

The Company’s net asset value per diluted share was primarily based on the fair value of its real estate investment portfolio, together with the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio as of the measurement date was determined using market capitalization rates that ranged between 6.05% and 7.09%.

Long-term Debt

—The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs based on recent secondary market trades of the Company’s 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (defined below), 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.

Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company believes it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT, and intends to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that it will remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent its dividends paid deduction exceeds its taxable income, as defined in the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Financial ~~Statements, except for U.S. federal income taxes of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”).~~Statements. The Company has a wholly-owned ~~subsidiaries~~subsidiary that elected to be treated as a ~~TRS~~taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and ~~are~~is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax ~~rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS entities did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

rates when due.

The Company is subject to state and local income or franchise taxes and foreign taxes in certain jurisdictions in which some of its properties are located and records these within Income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income when due.

The Company is required to file income tax returns with federal, state, and Canadian taxing authorities. At December 31, ~~2019,~~2021, the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities for the ~~2016~~2018 through ~~2018~~2020 tax years.

The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions using a

two-step

approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is

more-likely-than-not

that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. In making this assessment, the Company must assume that the taxing authority will examine the income tax position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may or may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.

The Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions at December 31, ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2018,~~2020, or for the years ended December 31, ~~2019, 2018,~~2021, 2020, and ~~2017,~~2019, which include the tax status of the Company.

Interest and penalties related to income taxes are charged to tax expense during the year in which they are incurred.

Taxes Collected From Tenants and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

A majority of the Company’s properties are leased on a net basis, which provides that the tenants are responsible for the payment of property operating expenses, including, but not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, repairs, and capital costs, during the lease term. The Company records such expenses on a net basis.

In other situations, the Company may collect property taxes from its tenants and remit those taxes to governmental authorities. Taxes collected from tenants and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a gross basis, where amounts billed to tenants are included in Lease revenues, net and the corresponding expense is included in Property and operating expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

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

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic ASC 842)~~, which superseded the existing guidance for lease accounting, ASC 840. ASC 842 is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. Under the new pronouncement, lessor accounting is largely unchanged from prior GAAP, however disclosures were expanded.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company ~~adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis~~has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and ~~elected the following practical expedients:~~

performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under its 2020 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The ~~“Package of Three,” which allows an entity to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (ii) the lease classification~~Company accounts for ~~any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases.~~

The optional transition method to initially apply the guidance of ASC 842 at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. As a result of electing this practical expedient, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods presented will continue to bestock-based incentives in accordance with ASC ~~840, including~~718,

Compensation—Stock Compensation

, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the ~~required disclosures.~~

The ability to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and to account for those components as a single component if certain conditions are met.

ASC 842 requires all income from leases to be presented as a single line item, rather than the prior presentation where rental income from leases was shown separately from amounts billed and collected as reimbursements from tenantsfinancial statements based on the ~~Consolidated Statements~~award’s estimated grant date fair value. The value of ~~Income~~such awards is recognized as compensation expense in General and ~~Comprehensive Income. In addition, bad debt expense is required to be recorded as an adjustment to Lease revenues, rather than recorded within Operating~~administrative expenses onin the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income ~~as had previously been~~over the ~~case.~~

appropriate vesting period on a straight-line basis or at the cumulative amount vested at each balance sheet date, if greater. The Company records forfeitures during the period in which they occur by reversing all previously recorded stock compensation expense associated with the forfeited shares. Dividends declared on RSAs issued under the Equity Incentive Plan are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends related to forfeited RSAs are reversed through compensation expense in the period the forfeiture occurs. Dividends accrued on the PRSUs are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends accrued related to forfeited PRSUs are reversed in the period the forfeiture occurs.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in ASC Topic 260,

Earnings Per Share,

which requires the classification of the Company’s unvested shares of restricted common stock, which contain rights to receive

non-forfeitable

dividends, as participating securities requiring the

two-class

method of computing earnings per share. The

two-class

method is ~~primarily~~an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or

106

Table of Contents

accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. In accordance with the

two-class

method, the Company’s calculation of earnings per share excludes the income attributable to the unvested shares of restricted common stock from the numerator of the calculation and the weighted average number of such unvested shares from the denominator. See Note 16.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2021-01,

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope

, which refines the scope of ASC 848, to include all derivative contracts subject to a ~~lessor~~transition for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and ~~therefore~~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 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 the derivative have changed as a result of the discounting transition. The Company will apply the amendments in ASU

2021-01

related to contract modifications and hedging relationships prospectively.

Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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 Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic

815-40):

Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity

. The guidance in ASU

2020-06

simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in ASU

2020-06

also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic

815-40,

Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity

, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the

if-converted

method for all convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU

2020-06

are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. The Company uses the

two-class

method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Based on the nature of the Company’s potentially dilutive instruments, the treasury stock method is not used in computing dilutive earnings per share. Accordingly, the adoption of ~~ASC 842 did~~ASU

2020-06

will not have a material impact on ~~its Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon adoption of ASC 842, it was not necessary for~~ the Company to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, however the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability as of January 1, 2019, of $1,687 and $1,261, respectively, related to operating leases where it is the lessee (see Note 18). The right-of-use asset was recorded net of a previously recorded straight-line rent liability of $7 and ground lease intangible asset, net of $432 as of the date of adoption.

~~In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16,~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes~~. Previously under Topic 815, the eligible benchmark interest rates in the United States were the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate, which was introduced in ASU 2017-12, ~~Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~ ~~(“ASU 2017-12”). The amendments in ASU 2018-16 permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815~~. The amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities that already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 (which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2018). Company.

Reclassifications

The Company ~~adopted ASU 2018-16 as~~reclassified $961.3 million of ~~January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis for~~

~~qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

~~Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses~~ ~~which changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the~~Unsecured term notes, net amount expected to be collected with an allowance 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. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05,~~ ~~Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief~~, which provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for eligible instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. ASU 2016-13 is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2019, under a modified retrospective application. The new guidance will apply to the Company’s investments in direct financing leases, which totaled $41,890, or 1.1% of the Company’s total assets, at December 31, ~~2019,~~2020 to Unsecured term loans, net at December 31, 2021 and ~~related~~$472.5 million of Unsecured term notes, net at December 31, 2020 to 16 individual 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 the Company has not experienced significant collection issues on its direct financing lease receivables. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that adoption of ASU 2016-13 will result in a material allowance for credit losses being recorded as a transition adjustment, or have an ongoing material impact on its results of operations.

~~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 modifications and new disclosures required by the new standard primarily relate to disclosures around recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and investments by the company in entities that calculateSenior unsecured notes, net asset value, neither of which are relevant to the Company’s current recurring fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning afterat December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020, but does not anticipate a significant change in its financial statement disclosures.

~~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 clarifies and improves 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 2018-13 discussed above. The provisions of ASU 2019-04 relating to Topics 815 and 825 relate to clarifying the provisions of existing guidance that are not applicable to the Company.

~~Reclassifications~~

~~Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation, including certain items described below which resulted from the adoption of ASC 842.~~

3. Related-Party Transactions

~~As discussed in Note 19,~~

Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, the Company completed three mergers providing for the internalization of the external management functions previously performed by BRE and the Asset Manager (the “Internalization”). Prior to the Internalization, 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, including during all periods covered by these Consolidated Financial Statements.~~

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’~~months’ rent for a new lease with a new tenant.

In addition, prior to January 1, 2018, BRE was able to provide, but was not obligated to provide, short-term financing to, or guarantees for, the OP. In exchange for these services, BRE was entitled to receive an interest rate of up to the prime rate plus 1.00% in exchange for any advances to the OP, and 0.05% for guaranteeing recourse carve-outs on financing arrangements. No such advances or guarantees were made during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Upon completion of the Internalization, the Property Management Agreement was terminated and, ~~there will be no future~~prospectively, property management fees were 0 longer payable to BRE. The Internalization was not considered a ~~termination event~~“Termination Event” under the Property Management ~~Agreement. No~~Agreement, therefore 0 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 ~~with~~of which BRE as

108

Table of Contents

was the ~~single~~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)

The Company had the right to convert the preferred units to non-voting common units of BRE between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. Subsequent to the conversion period, BRE had the option to redeem the convertible preferred units at their original value of $10,000, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred return. On July 31, 2018, the Company sold its investment to an existing owner of BRE. The preferred units were sold for an aggregate sales price of $18,500 and had a carrying value of $10,000 at the time of sale. The transaction was approved by theCompany’s Board of Directors and ~~IDC. The preferred units provided a stated preferred return at inception~~employees who had previously been owners and/or employees of ~~7.0% with 0.25% increases every June 30~~^thBRE, upon the occurrence of certain events (see Note 4). ~~Preferred distributions related~~As of December 31, 2021, the Company achieved all four VWAP milestones applicable to the ~~investment in BRE for~~earnout.

See further discussion in Note 12 and 14.

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. The Company paid base consideration of $209.5 million at closing and additional earnout consideration of up to $75.0 million, as described below. In addition, the Company assumed $90.5 million of debt in addition to other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as detailed in the

Allocation of Purchase Price

discussion elsewhere in this Note 4. The effect of the Internalization has been reflected in the Company’s operating results beginning on February 7, 2020.

The consideration paid at closing of the Internalization is summarized in the following table:


(in thousands)
Issuance of 3,124 shares of common stock	$	66,376
Issuance of 5,278 OP Units		112,159
Cash		30,981

Base consideration		209,516
Initial estimate of fair value of earnout liability		40,119

Total consideration	$	249,635

In accordance with the Internalization, the Company was required to pay additional earnout consideration of up to $75.0 million payable in 4 tranches of $10.0 million, $15.0 million, $25.0 million, and $25.0 million if certain milestones related to the

40-day

VWAP per REIT Share were achieved. The consideration consisted of a combination of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, and OP Units, based on the same proportions paid in the base consideration.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2021, the Company achieved all four VWAP milestones, thereby triggering the payout of all earnout tranches. Below is a summary of the shares of common stock and OP Units issued, and cash paid for each earnout tranche:

(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Tranche	Shares of Common Stock Issued	OP Units Issued	Cash Paid	40-Day VWAP of a REIT Share	Achievement Date

2	218	371	2,888 (a)	23.75		July 14, 2021
3	363	620	4,117	24.375		September 21, 2021
4	363	620	4,117	25.00		September 21, 2021

(a)	Cash payments include amounts earned for dividends.

Redemption Rights Agreement

If an IPO did not occur on or before the satisfaction of certain milestones related to the

40-day

VWAP per REIT Share, then each holder of common shares or OP Units issued in connection with the Internalization had the right to require the Company to repurchase any or all of such holder’s shares or OP Units. Such rights terminated effective with the IPO.

Upon occurrence of the IPO in September 2020, the common stock and

non-controlling

interests issued as base consideration in connection with the Internalization and originally classified as mezzanine equity, were reclassified as a component of Common stock, Additional

paid-in

capital, and

Non-controlling

interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allocation of Purchase Price

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 been finalized and is 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 following table summarizes the Company’s allocation of the purchase price associated with the Internalization:


(in thousands)
Prepaid expenses and other assets	$	1,336
Right-of-use assets		1,898
Goodwill		339,769
Accounts payable and other liabilities		(986	)
Operating lease liabilities		(1,898	)
Debt		(90,484	)

	$	249,635

In connection with the Internalization, the Company recorded goodwill of $339.8 million 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 goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Internalization, the Company assumed $90.5 million of debt which was subsequently repaid through a combination of revolving credit facility borrowings and entering into a new $60.0 million term loan agreement (see Note 9).

The Company incurred $3.7 million in

non-recurring

costs associated with the Internalization during each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which were classified as Internalization expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The effect of the Internalization has been reflected in the Company’s operating results beginning on February 7, 2020. NaN incremental revenues were recorded as a result of the Internalization. Subsequent to the Internalization, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $20.5 million in expenses as a result of being internalized. Such amounts 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 Internalization expenses discussed above, or amounts recorded to reflect changes in the fair value of the earnout liability.

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 $4.5 million and $14.5 million of income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 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 historical 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.

Revenue Recognition

within Note

. Substantially all leases have initial terms of

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’s leases do not include residual value guarantees. To protect the residual value of its assets under lease, the Company requires tenants to maintain certain levels of property insurance, and in some cases will purchase supplemental policies directly. Management physically inspects each property on a regular basis to ensure the tenant is maintaining the property so that it will be in a condition at the end of the lease term that is suitable for the Company to lease to a new tenant without the need for significant additional investment. For assets other than land, at lease inception the Company estimates the residual value taking into consideration the original fair value of the asset, less anticipated depreciation over the lease term. In general, at lease inception the Company assumes the value ascribed to land will be fully recoverable at the end of the lease term.

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.

In connection with the issuance of the 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes in September 2021 and repayment of outstanding borrowings of variable rate debt indexed to the

one-month

LIBOR rate (see Note 9), the Company terminated interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate termination value of $5.6 million. The Company determined that it is not probable the hedge forecasted transactions will not occur during the original periods, and therefore, the $5.6 million of accumulated losses held in Other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the original lives of the terminated swaps. For the year ended December 31, 2021, amounts reclassified out of Other comprehensive income to Interest expense were $0.1 million.

Under the Share Redemption Program, stockholders could request that the Corporation redeem shares after one year from the original investment date, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Share Redemption Program. Under the Share Redemption Program, the Corporation was not obligated to repurchase shares and, notwithstanding any other term of the Share Redemption Program, the Board of Directors or IDC could reject any share redemption request made by any stockholder at any time. Shares held for more than 12 months, but less than five years, were redeemed at a purchase price equal to 95% of the current ~~share value established from time to time by the IDC (the “Determined~~Determined Share ~~Value”),~~Value, and shares held for five years or more were redeemed at a purchase price equal to 100% of the current Determined Share Value, subject to certain exemptions as set forth in the Share Redemption Program.

Total shares redeemed pursuant to the Share Redemption Program in any quarter could not exceed 1% of the total number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the calendar year plus 50% of the total number of any additional shares issued during the prior calendar quarter under the DRIP (as defined below), provided that the total number of shares redeemed during any calendar year could not exceed 5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the first day of such calendar year. The Board of Directors or the IDC could amend, suspend, or terminate the Share Redemption Program at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Corporation’s stockholders. On January 10, 2020, the Corporation announced that it would be terminating the Share Redemption Program, effective February 10, 2020.

15. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company awarded 199,430 and 340,976 shares of RSAs, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to certain officers and employees under the Equity Incentive Plan. 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 RSAs vest over a one, three, or four year period from the date of the grant and are subject to the employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates and in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreements. The weighted average value of awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $18.66, which was based on the market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The weighted average value per share of awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $20.50, which was based on the Determined Share Value. Prior to the IPO, the Company sold shares of common stock 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 the date based upon, among other factors, the implied market price for each asset based upon a review of market capitalization rates. There were no RSAs during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

On March 1, 2021, the Company granted 132,189 target PRSUs under the 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, as identified in the grant agreements, over a three-year period, 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. Vesting percentages range 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

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.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated to purchase the properties.

Obligations Under Operating Leases

Subsequent to the Internalization, the Company ~~entered into an additional tax protection agreement~~leases office space for its corporate headquarters and other locations under

non-cancellable

operating leases with expiration dates ranging from 2022 to 2023. These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. None of the ~~Founding Owners (see Note 19).~~

leases are subject to any sublease agreement.

~~Obligations Under Operating Leases~~

non-cancellable

operating leases (“ground leases”) with initial lease terms ranging from 2034 to ~~2066.~~2069. 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.

Table of the Internalization, but no fees were paid under them as a result of that termination. The Internalization consisted of the acquisition of BRE through a series of mergers pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The consideration paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement consists of (i) base consideration of approximately $209.5 million plus assumption of debt of approximately $90.5 million, paid at closing and (ii) additional consideration of up to $75 million payable in four tranches of $10 million, $15 million, $25 million, and $25 million if certain milestones related to either (a) the dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock (“VWAP per REIT Share”), following the completion of an IPO, or (b) the Company’s adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) per share, prior to the completion of an IPO, are achieved during specified periods of time following the closing of the Internalization (the “Earnout Periods”). The consideration will consist of a combination of cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, and OP Units, at the election of the owners of BRE.

~~The earnout tranches, applicable VWAP of a REIT Share and AFFO per share, and the applicable Earnout Periods are as follows:~~

^(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.

Effective upon closing of the Internalization, the Company’s current executive officers, management team, and corporate staff became employees of the Company, and the four senior executives entered into employment agreements with the Company.

The Merger Agreement did not provide that the completion of an IPO is a condition to the closing of the Internalization. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, however, if the Company does not complete an IPO by

December 31, 2020, then the former owners of BRE who receive shares of the Company’s common stock and/or OP Units will be granted certain redemption rights as a means to provide additional liquidity in the absence of an IPO.

Prior to closing the Internalization, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding shares of Company common stock held by BRE in exchange for cash at a per share price equal to $85.00, the current Determined Share Value.

Upon closing of the Internalization, the Company entered into the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, 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 maximum amount the Company may be liable for under the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreements is $10 million.

In connection with the Internalization, the Company assumed the lease agreement relating to the Company’s principal executive office with CAHA, an affiliated third party, approximately 1.6% of which is indirectly owned by the Company’s Chairman and member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The lease 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.

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 year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~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.

~~Management's~~

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in

Internal ~~Control —~~ Control—Integrated Framework (2013)

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, ~~2019.~~

2021.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There ~~were~~have been no changes toin our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in

Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in

Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)

issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 23, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
