GLOBAL MEDICAL REIT INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise indicated)
Note 1 – Organization
Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and groups with leading market share. The Company holds its facilities and conducts its operations through a Delaware limited partnership subsidiary named Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company named Global Medical REIT GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was the
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company, including the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company presents the portion of any equity it does not own but controls (and thus consolidates) as noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest in the Company includes the LTIP Units and the OP Units held by third parties. Refer to Note 5 – “Equity” and Note 7 – “Stock-Based Compensation” for additional information regarding the OP Units and LTIP Units.
The Company classifies noncontrolling interest as a component of consolidated equity on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, separate from the Company’s total equity. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the respective ownership or voting percentage in the Operating Partnership associated with such noncontrolling interests and is removed from consolidated income or loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to derive net income or loss attributable to common stockholders. The noncontrolling ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of LTIP Units and OP Units by the total number of units and shares outstanding. Any future issuances of additional LTIP Units or OP Units would change the noncontrolling ownership interest.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
-9-
Investment in Real Estate
The Company determines when an acquisition meets the definition of a business or alternatively should be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC Topic 805”), which requires that, when substantially all of the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset or group of similar identifiable assets does not meet the definition of a business and therefore is required to be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Transaction costs are capitalized for asset acquisitions and expensed as incurred for business combinations. All our facility acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been accounted for as asset acquisitions because substantially all the fair value of the gross assets the Company acquired were concentrated in a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
For asset acquisitions that are “owner occupied” (meaning that the seller either is the tenant or controls the tenant), the purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, will be allocated to land and building based on their relative fair values with no value allocated to intangible assets or liabilities. For asset acquisitions that are not “owner occupied,” the Company will allocate the purchase price to tangible assets and any intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs, such as rent comparables, sales comparables, and broker indications. Although Level 3 inputs are utilized, they are minor in comparison to the Level 2 data used for the primary assumptions. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimates. We make estimates to determine the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed using information obtained from multiple sources, including preacquisition due diligence, and we routinely utilize the assistance of a third-party appraiser.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s operations primarily consist of rental revenue earned from tenants under leasing arrangements which provide for minimum rent and escalations. The leases have been accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases with contingent rental escalators, revenue is recorded based on the contractual cash rental payments due during the period. Revenue from leases with fixed annual rental escalators are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term, subject to a collectability assessment, with the difference between the contractual rental receipts and the straight-line amounts recorded as a “deferred rent receivable.” Additionally, the Company recognizes “expense recoveries” revenue, which represents revenue recognized related to tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses (“tenant reimbursements”). The Company recognizes these reimbursements and related expenses on a gross basis in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Amounts included in restricted cash represent (1) certain security deposits received from tenants at the inception of their leases; (2) cash required to be held by a third-party lender as a reserve for debt service; and (3) funds held by the Company related to tenant reimbursements. The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that sums to the total of those amounts at the end of the periods presented on the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

-10-
Receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic 842”). The Company assesses the likelihood of losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments at each reporting date. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable, all tenant receivables, including deferred rent, are written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant is recognized only upon receipt of cash. In addition, as of September 30, 2021, the Company had a portfolio level reserve of $

Goodwill
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s goodwill balance was $
Sales of Real Estate
The Company classifies a property as held for sale when the criteria are met, in accordance with GAAP. At that time, the Company presents the assets and obligations associated with the real estate held for sale separately in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that asset. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Upon the disposition of a property, the Company recognizes a gain or loss at a point in time when the Company determines control of the underlying asset has been transferred to the buyer. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied at the closing of the transaction. Any continuing involvement is analyzed as a separate performance obligation in the contract, and a portion of the sales price is allocated to each performance obligation. There is significant judgment applied to estimate the amount of any variable consideration identified within the sales price and assess its probability of occurrence based on current market information, historical transactions, and forecasted information that is reasonably available.
For sales of real estate (or assets classified as held for sale), the Company evaluates whether the disposition is a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. If a disposition represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, it will be classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”) contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had previously elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Reference Rate Reform
On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.
-25-
The Company anticipates that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used 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.
The Company has interest rate swaps that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if the Company cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.
While the Company expects LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR 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.
Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.
The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.
Adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates will be required, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs for the Company.

Derivative Instruments - Interest Rate Swaps
The Company has
The Company records the swaps either as an asset or a liability measured at its fair value at each reporting period. When hedge accounting is applied, the change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is (i) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and (ii) subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. If specific hedge accounting criteria are not met, changes in the Company’s derivative instruments’ fair value are recognized currently as an adjustment to net income.
The Company’s interest rate swaps are not traded on an exchange. The Company’s interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected size of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair values are based on Level 2 inputs within the framework of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative instruments.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was a net liability of $

Annual Awards. The Annual Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of LTIP Annual Award Agreements (“LTIP Annual Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee.
The Compensation Committee and Board established performance goals for the year ending December 31, 2021, as set forth in the 2021 LTIP Annual Award Agreements (the “Performance Goals”) that will be used to determine the number of LTIP Units earned by each grantee. As of September 30, 2021, management estimated that the Performance Goals would be met at a

Long-Term Awards. The Long-Term Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of their related LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements (collectively the “LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements”) between the Company and each grantee.

Distributions. Pursuant to the LTIP Long-Term Award Agreements, distributions equal to the dividends declared and paid by the Company will accrue during the applicable performance period on the maximum number of LTIP Units that the grantee could earn and will be paid with respect to all of the earned LTIP Units at the conclusion of the applicable performance period, in cash or by the issuance of additional LTIP Units at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company’s prospective compensation expense for all unvested LTIP Units, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is recognized using the adoption date fair value of the awards, with no remeasurement required. Compensation expense for future LTIP Unit grants, Annual Awards, and Long-Term Awards is based on the grant date fair value of the units/awards, with no subsequent remeasurement required.
As the Long-Term Awards involve market-based performance conditions, the Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to provide a grant date fair value for expense recognition. The Monte Carlo simulation is a generally accepted statistical technique used, in this instance, to simulate a range of possible future stock prices for the Company and the members of the Index over the Performance Periods. The purpose of this modeling is to use a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the performance share award.
The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation include beginning average stock price, valuation date stock price, expected volatilities, correlation coefficients, risk-free rate of interest, and expected dividend yield. The beginning average stock price is the beginning average stock price for the Company and each member of the Index for the five trading days leading up to the grant date of the Long-Term Award. The valuation date stock price is the closing stock price of the Company and each of the peer companies in the Index on the grant dates of the Long-Term Awards. The expected volatilities are modeled using the historical volatilities for the Company and the members of the Index. The correlation coefficients are calculated using the same data as the historical volatilities. The risk-free rate of interest is taken from the U.S. Treasury website and relates to the expected life of the remaining performance period on valuation or revaluation. Lastly, the dividend yield assumption is

Note 8 – Leases
The Company operates as both a lessor and a lessee. As a lessor, the Company is required under ASC Topic 842 to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to ASC Topic 840’s guidance for operating leases and other leases such as sales-type leases and direct financing leases. In addition, ASC Topic 842 requires lessors to capitalize and amortize only incremental direct leasing costs. As a lessee, the Company is required under the new standard to apply a dual approach, classifying leases, such as ground leases, as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. ASC Topic 842 also requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with an initial term of greater than a year regardless of their classification. The Company has also elected the practical expedient not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of a year or less.
Information as Lessor Under ASC Topic 842
To generate positive cash flow, as a lessor, the Company leases its facilities to tenants in exchange for fixed monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries, primarily common area maintenance (“CAM”). The Company’s leases were determined to be operating leases and have a portfolio-average-lease-years remaining of approximately
Some of the Company’s leases are subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Although increases in CPI are not estimated as part of the Company’s measurement of straight-line rental revenue, for leases with base rent increases based on CPI, the amount of rent revenue recognized is adjusted in the period the changes in CPI are measured and effective. Additionally, some of the Company’s leases have extension options.
Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the leasing of our facilities are capitalized when material as incurred. Capitalized leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful life of the respective leases. All other costs to negotiate or arrange a lease are expensed as incurred.
Lease-related receivables, which include accounts receivable and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses, if applicable. The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease-related receivables. The Company’s evaluation of collectability primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our tenant, historical trends of the tenant and changes in tenant payment terms. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectability of lease-related receivables prove incorrect, the Company could experience credit losses in excess of what was recognized in rental and other revenues.

Overview
Global Medical REIT Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation engaged primarily in the acquisition of purpose-built healthcare facilities and the leasing of those facilities to strong healthcare systems and physician groups with leading market share.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We conduct our business through an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, structure in which our properties are owned by wholly owned subsidiaries of our operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Global Medical REIT GP LLC, is the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2021, we owned 94.28% of the outstanding equity interests in our Operating Partnership.
Our Business Objectives and Investment Strategy
Our principal business objective is to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders through a combination of (i) reliable dividends and (ii) long-term capital appreciation. Our primary strategies to achieve our business objective are to:
● | construct a portfolio of healthcare facilities that are primarily located in secondary markets and suburbs of primary markets and are situated to take advantage of the aging of the U.S. population and the decentralization of the healthcare delivery system; |
● | lease our properties to healthcare tenants with profitable practices that are utilized by an aging population and are highly dependent on their purpose-built real estate to deliver core medical procedures, such as cardiovascular treatment, rehabilitation, eye surgery, gastroenterology, oncology treatment and orthopedics; |
-38-
● | set aside a portion of our property portfolio for opportunistic acquisitions, including (i) certain acute-care hospitals and long-term acute care facilities (LTACs), that we believe provide premium, risk-adjusted returns, (ii) health system corporate office and administrative buildings, which we believe will help us develop relationships with larger health systems and (iii) behavioral and mental health facilities that are operated by national or regional operators and are located in markets that demonstrate a need for such services; and |
● | lease our facilities under triple-net leases with contractual annual rent escalations. |
Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Our business values integrate environmental sustainability, social responsibility and strong governance practices throughout our organization.
We continue to improve and expand our efforts in the corporate sustainability arena through tenant outreach and data collection to benchmark our portfolio’s energy consumption and efficiency. On July 1, 2021, we submitted our second GRESB assessment, and we are working with third-party experts to support our energy monitoring efforts. We have also begun to explore potential projects with solar energy providers and on-property electric vehicle charging solutions.
Our commitment to employee engagement remains a high-priority, as we continue to make accommodations for health, safety, and work-life balance. With this commitment in mind, and in response to the Company’s growth, we have modestly grown our team during 2021.
During the first quarter of 2021, our employee ESG working group engaged Georgetown University’s Steers Center for Global Real Estate to help us identify social responsibility initiatives. Their recommendation led to a pilot project that provides transportation to healthcare facilities for those in need. We are working with a ride-share provider and national charitable organization to implement the project in the greater Phoenix, Arizona metro area.
Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) continues to lead our social and governance efforts. With its diverse composition, our Board is a strong example of inclusive leadership. In 2021, the Board continued to improve our corporate governance structure by adopting an anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy and executive equity ownership guidelines. The Board has also formed an ESG working group and has worked with management to identify an environmental, social, governance and resilience framework that can guide our ESG work going forward.
Climate Change
We take climate change and the risks associated with climate change seriously. We are committed to aligning our investment strategy with science and have begun to monitor our portfolio for climate risk factors. We will use this information to evaluate our insurance needs and risk management approach. In addition, the energy consumption data that we are collecting will be used to assess facilities’ carbon emission levels. Capturing and tracking this information will help inform future mitigation and remediation efforts where possible. To that end we are exploring ways to mitigate climate risk, should it be present, in our acquisition strategy, as well as ways to contribute to the reduction of climate impact through proactive asset management that looks for ways to incorporate renewable energy resources and energy utilization reduction. We stand with our communities, tenants, and stockholders in supporting meaningful solutions that address this global challenge and contribute to the sustainability of our business objectives.
Impact of COVID-19 and Business Outlook
Although COVID-19 vaccines are generally widely available in the United States, the rate of vaccination has slowed, the COVID-19 pandemic has not ended and its effects on the U.S. economy will have lasting effects. New and potentially more virulent variants of COVID-19 have been identified, such as the Delta variant, a rapidly spreading strain, that has led to a recent rise in hospitalization and infection rates. Therefore, the risk of further resurgence and possible reimplementation of restrictions remains.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material effect on our business, a resurgence of COVID-19, including its variants (such as the Delta variant), that affects our tenants’ ability to pay rent to us, our lenders’ ability to lend to us, or our ability to raise equity capital could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our Properties
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we completed 16 acquisitions encompassing an aggregate of 541,496 leasable square feet for an aggregate contractual purchase price of $163.2 million with an aggregate annualized base rent of $12.2 million. As of September 30, 2021, our portfolio consisted of gross investment in real estate of $1.3 billion, which was comprised of 102 facilities with an aggregate of 4.2 million leasable square feet and an aggregate $100.8 million of annualized base rent.
Capital Raising Activity
On March 18, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of our common stock, including the related option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters. These transactions resulted in the issuance of 8.6 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $13.30 per share, generating gross proceeds of $114.7 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated gross proceeds of $86.6 million through at-the-market ("ATM") equity issuances of 6.1 million shares of our common stock at an average offering price of $14.29 per share. As of November 1, 2021, we had $23 million remaining under the 2020 ATM Program.

Debt Activity
On May 3, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to, among other things, (i) increase the overall capacity of the facility from $600 million to $750 million, consisting of a $400 million revolver component (the “Revolver”) and a $350 million term loan component (the “Term Loan”), (ii) extend the term of the Revolver to May 2025, with two six-month extension options, and extend the maturity of the Term Loan component to May 2026, (iii) convert the facility from a secured to an unsecured facility and (iv) implement a new pricing matrix. The Credit Facility includes a $500 million accordion feature. In addition, on May 4, 2021, we entered into five forward starting interest rate swaps that will fix the LIBOR component on the Term Loan through its maturity. Currently, our interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR component of the Term Loan at a rate of 1.91% through August 2023. Subsequently, from August 2023 to August 2024 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.61%. Finally, from August 2024 to April 2026 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.45%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we borrowed $187.7 million under our Credit Facility and repaid $207.2 million, for a net amount repaid of $19.5 million. As of September 30, 2021, the net outstanding Credit Facility balance was $497.2 million.
Recent Developments
Completed Disposition Subsequent to September 30, 2021
On October 13, 2021, we sold a medical office building located in Prescott, Arizona receiving gross proceeds of $5.5 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.1 million.
Properties Under Contract for Acquisition or Sale
We have three properties under contract to acquire for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.9 million. We are currently in the due diligence period for our properties under contract. If we identify problems with these properties or the operators of any properties during our due diligence review, we may not close the transactions on a timely basis or we may terminate the purchase agreements and not close the transactions.
On October 5, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell a medical office building located in Belpre, Ohio for gross proceeds of approximately $44.6 million. The property had a net book value of approximately $29.7 million as of September 30, 2021. The transaction is expected to be completed no earlier than March 2022. The buyer is currently in the due diligence period and the transaction is subject to various closing contingencies. Accordingly, the transaction may not close on a timely basis or the buyer may terminate the purchase agreement and not close the transaction. We intend to reinvest the sales proceeds in 2022.
Trends Which May Influence Our Results of Operations
We believe the following trends may positively impact our results of operations:
● | Growing healthcare expenditures. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, overall healthcare expenditures are expected to grow at an average rate of 5.5% per year through 2027. We believe the long-term growth in healthcare expenditures will help maintain or increase the value of our healthcare real estate portfolio. |
● | An aging population. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the segment of the population consisting of people 65 years or older comprise the fastest growing segment of the overall U.S. population. We believe this segment of the U.S. population will utilize many of the services provided at our healthcare facilities such as orthopedics, cardiac, gastroenterology and rehabilitation. |
● | A continuing shift towards outpatient care. According to the American Hospital Association, patients are demanding more outpatient operations. We believe this shift in patient preference from inpatient to outpatient facilities will benefit our tenants as most of our properties consist of outpatient facilities. |
● | Physician practice group and hospital consolidation. We believe the trend towards physician group consolidation will serve to strengthen the credit quality of our tenants if our tenants merge or are consolidated with larger health systems. |
-41-
We believe the following trends may negatively impact our results of operations:
● | Increased competition for acquisition opportunities. We face increased competition for our target asset classes from both private funds and other public REITs. Medical office properties have proven to be a resilient asset class during the COVID-19 pandemic as many tenants of such properties continued to pay rent during the pandemic, which was not the case for many other types of commercial real estate. Given the resiliency of medical office buildings, many real estate funds are now competing for acquisition opportunities in medical real estate, which will cause a decrease in overall capitalization rates and make it more difficult for us to locate acquisition opportunities that meet our investment and return criteria. |
● | Continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic – Although COVID-19 vaccines are currently being distributed and administered in the U.S., it is unclear when or if the COVID-19 pandemic will subside and the U.S. economy will recover. Although we do not believe the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our ability to collect rents in the near term, a prolonged pandemic or resurgence of COVID-19, including any related variants of the COVID-19 virus such as the Delta variant, or others, could put additional strain on our tenants and could affect their ability to pay rents to us. |
● | Changes in third party reimbursement methods and policies. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of healthcare services was increasing, and we believed that third-party payors, such as Medicare and commercial insurance companies, would continue to scrutinize and reduce the types of healthcare services eligible for, and the amounts of, reimbursement under their health insurance plans. Additionally, many employer-based insurance plans were continuing to increase the percentage of insurance premiums for which covered individuals are responsible. We expect these trends will only be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as federal and state budgets are likely to be under tremendous stress due to the pandemic, which could affect government-sponsored insurance plans. If these trends continue, our tenants’ businesses will continue to be negatively affected, which may impact their ability to pay rent to us. |
Critical Accounting Policy
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Commission on March 8, 2021, for further information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
Consolidated Results of Operations
The major factors that resulted in variances in our results of operations for each revenue and expense category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 were the increase in the size of our property portfolio and our management internalization transaction that was completed in July 2020. Our total investments in real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was $1.2 billion and $977.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue
Total Revenue
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $85.6 million, compared to $68.8 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $16.8 million. The increase was primarily the result of rental revenue earned from the facilities we acquired subsequent to September 30, 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full nine months of rental revenue in 2021 from acquisitions that were completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Within that increase, $8.5 million in revenue was recognized from net lease expense recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2020. Additionally, total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected the recognition of reserves for approximately $1.1 million of rent, including approximately $0.4 million of deferred rent, primarily related to one tenant.
Expenses
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $12.5 million, compared to $7.5 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $5.0 million. The increase was primarily driven by our recognition of compensation-related costs and other administrative expenses that prior to the management internalization transaction were the obligation of our former advisor. In addition, this increase was due to an increase in non-cash LTIP compensation expense, which was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2020.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $11.0 million, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $2.7 million.

In addition, our operating expenses included $1.5 million of property operating expenses from gross leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2020.
-45-
Management Fees Expense – related party
As a result of the completion of the management internalization transaction, we incurred no management fee expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management fee expense was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and was calculated based on our stockholders’ equity balance.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $24.8 million, compared to $19.4 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $5.4 million. The increase results primarily from depreciation expense incurred on the facilities we acquired subsequent to September 30, 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full nine months of depreciation expense in 2021 from acquisitions that were completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $9.4 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $2.6 million. The increase results primarily from amortization expense incurred on intangible assets recorded subsequent to September 30, 2020, as well as from the recognition of a full nine months of amortization expense in 2021 from intangible assets recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $14.9 million, compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $1.3 million. This increase was primarily due to higher average borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period last year, the proceeds of which were used to finance our property acquisitions during that time period.
The weighted average interest rate of our debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 3.14% compared to 3.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the weighted average interest rate and term of our debt was 2.91% and 4.53 years at September 30, 2021.
Management Internalization Expense
As a result of the completion of the management internalization transaction, we had no management internalization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management internalization expense was $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which included $12.1 million related to the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship and $1.9 million of professional fees associated with the transaction.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $12.9 million, compared to a net loss of $(5.1) million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $18.0 million. The increase resulted primarily from the recognition of $14.0 million of management internalization expense that was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Assets and Liabilities
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our principal assets consisted of investments in real estate, net, of $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Our liquid assets consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $11.9 million and $10.8 million, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The increase in our investments in real estate, net, to $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2021 compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2020, was the result of the 16 acquisitions that we completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances to $11.9 million as of September 30, 2021, compared to $10.8 million as of December 31, 2020, was primarily due to net proceeds received from common equity offerings and net cash
-46-
provided by operating activities. Cash inflows were partially offset by funds used to acquire real estate, paydown debt, pay debt issuance costs related to the Credit Facility, and pay dividends to our common and preferred stockholders and OP Unit and LTIP Unit holders of our Operating Partnership.
The decrease in our total liabilities to $613.1 million as of September 30, 2021 compared to $643.1 million as of December 31, 2020, was primarily the result of debt repayments during 2021 and the resulting lower net borrowings outstanding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our short-term liquidity requirements include:
● | Interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness; |
● | General and administrative expenses; |
● | Operating expenses; |
● | Property acquisitions; and |
● | Capital and tenant improvements. |
In addition, we require funds for future distributions expected to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and OP Unit and LTIP Unit holders in our Operating Partnership.
Our primary sources of cash include rent and reimbursements we collect from our tenants, borrowings under our Credit Facility, secured term loans, and net proceeds received from equity issuances. In addition, we may generate cash from property dispositions.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, capital and tenant improvements at our properties, scheduled debt maturities, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and distributions. We expect to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs through various sources, including cash flow from operations, debt financing, sales of additional equity securities, the issuance of OP Units in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, proceeds from select property dispositions and joint venture transactions.
Equity Issuances
On March 18, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of our common stock, including the related option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters. These transactions resulted in the issuance of 8.6 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $13.30 per share, generating gross proceeds of $114.7 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated gross proceeds of $86.6 million through ATM equity issuances of 6.1 million shares of our common stock at an average offering price of $14.29 per share. As of November 1, 2021, we had $23 million remaining under the 2020 ATM Program.
Debt Financing
Credit Facility. As described in “Debt Activity,” the Credit Facility consists of a $350 million Term Loan and a $400 million Revolver. The Credit Facility also contains a $500 million accordion. As of November 1, 2021, we had unutilized borrowing capacity under the Revolver of approximately $240 million.
The Credit Facility is an unsecured facility with a term of four years for the Revolver (subject to two, six-month extension options) and a term of five years for the Term Loan. The Credit Facility also contains the following interest rate pricing grid:
-47-
Revolver LIBOR Margin | Term Loan LIBOR Margin | ||||
Leverage Based Pricing | Current | Prior | Current | Prior | |
< 40% | 1.25% | N/A | 1.20% | N/A | |
> 40% and < 45% | 1.35% | 1.40% | 1.30% | 1.35% | |
> 45% and < 50% | 1.50% | 1.65% | 1.45% | 1.60% | |
> 50 % and < 55% | 1.75% | 1.90% | 1.70% | 1.85% | |
> 55% | 2.00% | 2.15% | 1.95% | 2.10% |
We are subject to a number of financial covenants under the Credit Facility, including, among other things, the following as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a maximum consolidated unsecured leverage ratio of less than 60%, (ii) a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio of less than 30%, (iii) a maximum consolidated secured recourse leverage ratio of less than 10%, (iv) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (v) a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (vi) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of less than 60%, and (vii) a minimum net worth of $345 million plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through equity offerings subsequent to December 31, 2020. As of November 1, 2021, management believed it was in compliance with all of the financial and non-financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.
Hedging Instruments. We have six interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350 million that are used to manage our interest rate risk and fix the LIBOR component on the Term Loan. An aggregate of $150 million of the swaps mature in August 2023 and the remaining $200 million mature in August 2024. In addition, we have five forward starting interest rate swaps that will be effective on the maturity dates of the existing interest rate swaps. The forward starting swaps each have a maturity date of April 2026 and will fix the LIBOR component on the Term Loan through its maturity. Currently, the interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR component of the Term Loan at a rate of 1.91% through August 2023. Subsequently, from August 2023 to August 2024 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.61%. Finally, from August 2024 to April 2026 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.45%.
LIBOR Transition. On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to SOFR. Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021. The Company anticipates that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. The Credit Facility provides that, on or about the LIBOR cessation date (subject to an early opt-in election), LIBOR shall be replaced as a benchmark rate in the Credit Facility with a new benchmark rate, with such adjustments as set forth in the Credit Facility. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be enough liquidity in the SOFR markets.
Cash Flow Information
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $51.7 million, compared to $18.4 million for the same period in 2020. The increase during the 2021 period was primarily due to the increase in net income as well as increases in depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $166.7 million, compared to $141.6 million for the same period in 2020. The increase during the 2021 period was primarily the result of greater real estate investment activity in the 2021 period compared to the same period in 2020.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $116.2 million, compared to $123.3 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to net repayments on the Credit Facility, principal payments on our notes payable, the payment of debt issuance costs related to the Credit Facility, and higher dividends paid to our common stockholders, partially offset by net proceeds received from our common stock offerings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management considers certain non-GAAP financial measures to be useful supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance, financial position or cash flows, but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable measure determined in
-48-
accordance with GAAP. The Company reports non-GAAP financial measures because these measures are observed by management to also be among the most predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management deems it appropriate to disclose and discuss these non-GAAP financial measures. Set forth below are descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures management considers relevant to the Company's business and useful to investors, as well as reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are not necessarily identical to those presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income, as indicators of the Company's financial performance, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as measures of the Company's liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical consolidated operating results, these measures should be examined in conjunction with net income and cash flows from operations as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. The Company considers FFO and AFFO to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results.
In accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition, FFO means net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP before noncontrolling interests of holders of OP Units and LTIP Units, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and extraordinary items, less preferred stock dividends, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs and the amortization of above and below market leases), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Because FFO excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of debt issuance costs and above and below market lease amortization expense), the Company believes that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income or loss.
AFFO is a non-GAAP measure used by many investors and analysts to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. Management calculates AFFO by modifying the NAREIT computation of FFO by adjusting it for certain cash and non-cash items and certain recurring and non-recurring items. For the Company these items include recurring acquisition and disposition costs, loss on the extinguishment of debt, recurring straight line deferred rental revenue, recurring stock-based compensation expense, recurring amortization of above and below market leases, recurring amortization of debt issuance costs, recurring lease commissions, management internalization costs, and other items.
Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre)
The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by NAREIT and define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, gain or loss on the sale of investment properties, and impairment loss, as applicable. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre plus non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash intangible amortization related to above and below market leases, preacquisition expense and other normalizing items. Management considers EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre important measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors, and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt.
A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
Inflation
Historically, inflation has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our healthcare facilities. Many of our triple-net lease agreements contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses that enable us to receive payment of increased rent pursuant to escalation clauses which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. These escalation clauses often provide for fixed rent increases or indexed escalations (based upon the CPI or other measures). However, some of these contractual rent increases may be less than the actual rate of inflation. Most of our triple-net lease agreements require the tenant-operator to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This requirement reduces our exposure to increases in these costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business and investment objectives, we expect that the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk.
We may be exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to acquire healthcare facilities, including borrowings under the Credit Facility. The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the value of our variable rate financial obligations to selected changes in market interest rates. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period.
As of September 30, 2021, we had $155.7 million of unhedged floating-rate borrowings outstanding (before the netting of unamortized debt issuance costs). At September 30, 2021, LIBOR on our outstanding floating-rate borrowings was 0.11%. Assuming no increase in the amount of our floating-rate debt, if LIBOR increased 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.6 million annually. Assuming no increase in the amount of our floating-rate debt, if LIBOR were reduced 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $1.6 million annually.
Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or floating rates. We have six interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350 million that are used to manage our interest rate risk and fix the LIBOR component on the Term Loan. An aggregate of $150 million of the swaps mature in August 2023 and the remaining $200 million mature in August 2024. In
-51-
addition, we have five forward starting interest rate swaps that will be effective on the maturity dates of the existing interest rate swaps. The forward starting swaps each have a maturity date of April 2026 and will fix the LIBOR component on the Term Loan through its maturity. Currently, the interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR component of the Term Loan at a rate of 1.91% through August 2023. Subsequently, from August 2023 to August 2024 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.61%. Finally, from August 2024 to April 2026 the LIBOR component of the Term Loan rate will be fixed at 1.45%.
We may enter into additional derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on our future borrowings. We will not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our investments is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of tenants/operators and borrowers, which may affect our ability to refinance our debt if necessary.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which we are a party or to which any of our properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. There can be no assurance that these matters that arise in the future, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future period.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no material changes to the risk factors that were disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021
-52-
other than the risk factor disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that was filed with the SEC on May 7, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 6, 2021, the Company issued 11,004 shares of its common stock to Charles F. Brown (“Brown”) in connection with Brown’s redemption of 11,004 OP Units issued to him by the Operating Partnership on December 31, 2018 in connection with Brown’s contribution of certain assets to the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, OP Units may be redeemed by the holder after a one-year holding period for either cash or shares of common stock of the Company, such form of redemption consideration to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company. The issuance of these shares of common stock was effected in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on the fact that the issuance was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, manner of the issuance and number of securities issued.
