City Office REIT, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
City Office REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).
The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and, for tax years beginning before 2018, any applicable alternative minimum tax.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 202

.2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) established Topic 848, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2020-04
(“ASU
2020-04”).
ASU
2020-04
provides companies with optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. For contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, companies can elect to not remeasure contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting conclusion. Companies can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU
2021-01”).
ASU
2021-01
clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848.
ASU
2020-04
and ASU
2021-01
can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, however, the guidance will only be available for optional use through December 31, 2022. In October 2022, the FASB issued a tentative decision which would amend the date the guidance will be available to December 31, 2024. The new standard applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company has not yet adopted the standard and continues to evaluate the impact of ASU
2020-04
and ASU
2021-01
on its consolidated financial statements and may elect optional expedients in future periods as reference rate reform activities occur.

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

During the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 2022, the sole tenant at the Lake Vista Pointe property exercised its lease option to purchase the building and the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement with the tenant with the sale expected to close in June 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company received a deposit of $1.0 million.tenant. At the time the tenant exercised the option, the Company reassessed the lease classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. Therefore, the Company derecognized the net book value of the property and recorded a sales-type lease receivable
of $
42.6

This reclassification resulted in a gain on sale of $21.7 million net of disposal related costs.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin between 125 to 215 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In conjunction with the Term Loan, the Company also entered into a five-year interest rate swap for a notional amount of $50 million (the “Interest Rate Swap”). Pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 1.27% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate
30-day
LIBOR payments.

$300 $300 million. Combined with the Company’s existing five-year Term Loan, the total authorized borrowings increased from $300 million to $350 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended 12 months at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 125 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the Unsecured Credit Facility had $152.0$185.0 million drawn and
a
$4.2 $4.2 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for
a
mortgage lender. The Unsecured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50x.

The mortgage loan anticipated repayment date (“ARD”) is March 1, 2027. The final scheduled maturity date can be extended up to 5 years beyond the ARD. If the loan is not paid off at ARD, the loan’s interest rate shall be adjusted to the greater of (i) the initial interest rate plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the five year “on the run” treasury reported by Bloomberg market data service plus 450 basis pointspoints.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

10

Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs
In September 2019, the Company entered into the Interest Rate Swap for a notional amount of $50$
50
 million. Pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 1.27%
1.27
% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate
30-day
LIBOR payments. Accordingly, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap has been classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Interest Rate Swap has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and has been recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of March 31,September 30, 2022, the Interest Rate Swap was reported as an asset at its fair value of approximately $1.4$2.8 million, which is included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, approximately $0.1 million of realized
losses
were reclassified to interest expense due to payments made to
or received from 
the swap counterparty. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, approximately $0.1$0.4 million of realized losses were reclassified to interest expense due to payments made to the swap counterparty.
As of December 31, 2021, the Interest Rate Swap was reported as a liability at its fair value of approximately $0.4 million, which is included in other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Rents Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $455.6$420.4 million and $478.1 million (compared to a carrying value of $465.0$445.1 million and $466.5 million) as of March 31,September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

Lessee Accounting
As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which are classified as operating and financing leases. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, these leases had remaining terms of under one year to 66 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 50 years.

Lease liability – financing leases

Lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. One of the Company’s operating ground leases includes rental payment increases over the lease term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Changes in the CPI were not estimated as part of the measurement of the operating lease liability. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 6.2% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rates were derived from the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments.

Right-of-use
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Plan Administrator”). On May 4, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan from 2,263,580 shares to 3,763,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.

On January 27, 2020, each of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted unit award agreement (the “Performance RSU Award Agreement”) that will be used to grant performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance RSU Awards”) pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Performance RSU Awards are based upon the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock over a three-year measurement period beginning January 1 of the year of grant (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of
a defined peer group list of other
US Office
REIT companies (the “Peer
 
(the “Peer Group”) as of the first trading date in the year of grant.
The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 150% payout. Payouts are mathematically interpolated between these stated percentile targets, subject to a 150% maximum.
To the extent earned, the payouts of the Performance RSU Awards are intended to be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, dividend equivalents in an amount equal to all regular and special dividends declared with respect to the Company’s common stock during each annual measurement period during the Measurement Period are determined and paid on a cumulative, reinvested basis over the term of the applicable Performance RSU Award, at the time such award vests and based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are earned.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our IPO of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions.
Revenue Base
As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we owned 2625 properties comprised of 6160 office buildings with a total of approximately 6.26.0 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of March 31,September 30, 2022, our properties were approximately 85.7%85.8% leased.
 
1618

Office Leases
Historically, most leases for our properties have been on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop”,“stop,” whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. All tenants in Canyon Park, Lake Vista Pointe, Superior Pointe, The Terraces and 2525 McKinnon properties have triple net leases. Certain tenants at AmberGlen, Block 23, Bloc 83, Florida Research Park, Circle Point, The Quad, Cascade Station and Denver Tech have leases on a triple net basis. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are predominately full-service gross leases.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Economic Environment and Inflation
Over the last quarter, the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally have deteriorated, primarily due to rising inflation. As inflation continued to reach new highs, it set off a chain reaction of events, beginning with the Federal Reserve taking and signaling severe tightening measures, interest rates rising across the yield curve, volatility and losses in the public equity and debt markets, and now increasing concerns that the U.S. economy may experience a recession. This evolving operating environment impacts our operating activities as:
business leaders may generally become more reticent to make large capital allocation decisions, such as entry into a new lease, given the uncertain economic environment;
our capital costs have increased due to higher interest rates and credit spreads, and private market debt financing is significantly more challenging to arrange; and
retaining and attracting new tenants has become increasingly challenging due to potential business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns.
Despite the challenging economic environment, there is increasing evidence that many businesses have or will tighten up
in-person
work policies as economic conditions worsen. Many of these companies increased their workforce during the pandemic without increasing their available space. We expect these factors to help offset, at least partially, the recessionary headwinds to space demand.
COVID-19
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declaredOur business has been and is continuing to be impacted by the
COVID-19
outbreakpandemic. In addition, our business has been and is continuing to be impacted by tenant uncertainty regarding office space needs given the evolving remote working trends as a pandemic. There have been mandates from international, federal, state and local authorities requiring forced closures of businesses and other facilities, and mostresult of the markets in which our buildings are located have been or are subject to some form of pandemic-related restrictions. These forced closures and restrictions have had a volatile adverse effect on
COVID-19
pandemic. Throughout the global economy and the regional U.S. economies in which we operate, including negatively impacting some of our tenants’ ability to pay their rent.
COVID-19
Allpandemic, all of our buildings arehave remained open and continue to operate. We have adopted new policies and procedures to incorporate best practices for the safety of our tenants, our vendors and our employees. However, the usage of our assets in the firstthird quarter 2022 was significantly lower than
pre-pandemic
usage. Usage of our assets in the near future depends on the duration of the pandemic, the continued implementation and effectiveness of
COVID-19
vaccines and other therapeutics and corporate and individual decisions regarding return to usage of office space, which is impossible to estimate.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies. While we did not experience any significant disruptions during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, as a result of
COVID-19
or governmental or tenant actions in response thereto, the long-term impact of the pandemic on our tenants and the world-wide economy is uncertain and impossible to estimate, and will depend on the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic.
19

Leasing activity has been impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic. We have experienced and we expect that we will continue to experience slower new leasing and there remains uncertainty over existing tenants’ long-term space requirements. Overall, this could reduce our anticipated rental revenues. In addition, certain tenants in our markets have and may explore opportunities to sublease all or a portion of their leased square footage to other tenants or third parties. While subleasing generally does not impact the ability to collect payment from the original lessee and will not result in any decrease in the rental revenues expected to be received from the primary tenant, this trend could reduce our ability to lease incremental square footage to new tenants, could increase the square footage of our properties that “goes dark,” could reduce anticipated rental revenue should tenants determine their long-term needs for square footage are lower than originally anticipated and could impact the pricing and competitiveness for leasing office space in our markets.
17

We believe economic conditions, leasing activity and acquisition prospects have improved substantially since the initial onset of the
COVID-19
pandemic and we will continue to actively evaluate business operations and strategies to optimally position ourselves.ourselves given current economic and industry conditions.
Business and Strategy
We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our footprint of growth markets predominantly in the Southern and Western United States.Sun Belt. Our markets generally possess growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, generally
low-cost
centers for business operations and a high quality of life. We believe these characteristics have made our markets particularly desirable, in light of
COVID-19,
as evidenced by domestic net migration generally towards our geographic footprint. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate property and leasing managers to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation.
Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries
The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally
in-line
or slightly below the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries, including as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, rising interest rates and the increasing likelihood of a U.S. recession, that impair our ability to renew or
re-let
space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.
Conditions in Our Markets
Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance. While we generally expect the trend of positive population and economic growth outperformance in our cities to continue, there is no way for us to predict whether these trends will continue, especially in light of inflation and rising interest rates as well as the potential changes in tax policy, fiscal policy and monetary policy. In addition, it is uncertain and impossible to estimate the potential impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the short- and long-term demand for office space in our markets.

At the time the tenant exercised the option, we reassessed the lease classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. Therefore, we derecognized the net book value of the property and recorded a sales-type lease receivable of $42.6 million which represents the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments and the purchase option price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had approximately $26.7$22.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $20.9$19.7 million of restricted cash as of March 31,September 30, 2022.
On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility that provided for commitments of up to $250 million, which included an accordion feature that allowed the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. On November��November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) that provides for commitments of up to $300 million on the Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended 12 months at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bear an interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 125 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Combined with the Term Loan, the total authorized borrowings increased from $300 million to $350 million. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we had approximately $152.0$185.0 million outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility and a $4.2 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender.
On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into the five-year $50 million Term Loan, increasing its authorized borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility from $250 million to $300 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin between 125 to 215 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In conjunction with the Term Loan, the Company also entered into the Interest Rate Swap.

On February 26, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, B. Riley FBR, Inc., D.A. Davidson & Co. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (the “Sales Agents”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the “ATM Program”). On May 7, 2021 the Company delivered to D.A. Davidson & Co. a notice of termination of the Agreement, effective May 7, 2021.

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and reserves established from existing cash. We have further sources such as proceeds from our public offerings, including under our at the market issuance program,ATM Program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements using our Unsecured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.
22

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

Contracted interest on the floating rate borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility was calculated based on the balance and interest rate at March 31,September 30, 2022. Contracted interest on the Term Loan was calculated based on the Interest Rate Swap rate fixing the LIBOR component of the borrowing rate to approximately 1.27%.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations. However, a longer period of inflation could affect our cash flows or earnings, or impact our borrowings, as discussed elsewhere in this Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our derivatives.
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) has announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“AARC”ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR for future use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. We currently consider our interest rate exposure to be minimalmoderate because as of March 31,September 30, 2022, approximately $465.0$445.1 million, or 69.7%65.4%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $202.0$235.0 million, or 30.3%34.6%, had variable interest rates. Of the $202.0$235.0 million variable rate debt, $50.0 million relates to the Term Loan against which we have applied the Interest Rate Swap. The Interest Rate Swap effectively fixes the
30-day
LIBOR rate at approximately 1.27% until maturity of the Term Loan. When factoring in the Term Loan as fixed rate debt through the Interest Rate Swap, approximately 77.2%72.8% of our debt was fixed rate debt and 22.8%27.2% was variable rate debt as of March 31,September 30, 2022. An increase of 1% in LIBOR would result in a $2.0$1.9 million increase to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 1% decrease in LIBOR assuming a rate floor of 0%, would result in a $0.9$1.9 million decrease to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on our Company’s capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Company’s financial structure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of business. As of March 31,September 30, 2022, management does not believe that any such litigation will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factor supplements the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form
None.10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2021. Except as presented below or in the section titled “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in such Annual Report.
Inflation and price volatility in the global economy could negatively impact our tenants and our results of operations
.
Inflation in the United States has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades, including rising energy prices, prices for consumer goods, interest rates, wages and currency volatility. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2022, the consumer price index rose by approximately 8.2% compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2021. These increases and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events could negatively impact our results of operations, and could also negatively impact our tenants’ businesses. While our leases generally provide for fixed annual rent increases, high levels of inflation could outpace our contractual rent increases. The leases at our properties are either full-service gross or net lease basis. Our full-service gross leases generally have a base year expense “stop,” whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. Additionally, our
triple-net
leases require the lessee to pay all property operating expenses. Therefore, increases in property-level expenses resulting from inflation could have an adverse impact on our lessees if increases in their operating expenses exceed increases in their revenue, which may adversely affect our lessees’ ability to pay rent or other obligations owed to us. An increase in our lessees’ expenses and a failure of their revenues to increase at least with inflation could adversely affect our lessees’ and our financial condition and our results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In July 2020, the Company completed the full March 2020 share repurchase program.plan. On August 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional aggregate amount of $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In September 2022, the Company completed the full August 2020 share repurchase plan. Under the share repurchase programs, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock repurchased will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in
capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
