PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
We are an externally managed real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) focusing on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution related commercial real estate properties located primarily in the United States. Our assets consist primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to “investment grade” and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of multi-tenant retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. We intend to focus our future acquisitions primarily on net leased, single-tenant service retail properties, defined as properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 920 properties, comprised of 19.3 million rentable square feet, which were 93.9% leased, including 887 single-tenant net leased commercial properties (849 of which are leased to retail tenants) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties. Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020, the total single-tenant properties comprised 70% of our total portfolio and were 60% leased to service retail tenants, and the total multi-tenant properties comprised 30% of our total portfolio and were 50% leased to experiential retail tenants, defined as tenants in the restaurant, discount retail, entertainment, salon/beauty and grocery sectors, among others.
Investment Strategy
In addition to focusing on acquiring a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate properties with the tenants and other attributes noted above we also focus on:
•acquiring and owning service-oriented retail properties or experiential retail tenants that we believe are more resistant to e-commerce and the factors impacting traditional retail;
•maintaining high portfolio occupancy with a balance of service retail single-tenant assets featuring long-term leases;
•targeting a leverage level of not more than 45% loan-to-value at the time of acquisition; and
•maintaining diversity by tenant as well as a geographic location and lease term.
There is no limit on the number, size or type of properties that we may acquire. The number and mix of properties depend upon real estate market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time of acquisition of properties.
Since we acquired all of the multi-tenant properties in our portfolio in February 2017 in our merger with American Realty Capital - Retail Centers of America, Inc. which was sponsored and advised by affiliates of American Finance Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), we have not acquired any additional multi-tenant properties. We do not currently intend to acquire additional multi-tenant properties in the future. Moreover, pursuant to the provisions in our revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (our “Credit Facility”), we are prohibited from acquiring additional multi-tenant properties until after March 31, 2021. We may also acquire or own properties through joint ventures with third parties although we do not presently have any of these arrangements. We do not intend to develop or redevelop properties. In evaluating prospective investments, our Advisor considers relevant real estate and financial factors, including the location of the property, the leases and other agreements affecting it, the creditworthiness of its major tenants, its income-producing capacity, its physical condition, its prospects for appreciation, its prospects for liquidity, tax considerations and other factors. We may also originate or acquire first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans (secured by real estate) but do not currently own any of these asset types. Our Advisor has substantial discretion to select specific investments, subject to approval by our board of directors, including any related guidelines.
Tenants and Leasing
We seek to lease space at our properties to “investment grade” rated tenants. For our purposes, “investment grade” includes both tenants (or lease guarantors) with actual investment grade ratings or tenants with “implied” investment grade ratings. Implied investment grade may include the actual rating of a tenant’s parent or the guarantor of the parent (regardless of whether the parent has guaranteed the tenant’s obligation under the lease) or tenants that are identified as investment grade by using a proprietary Moody’s analytical tool which generates an implied rating by measuring an entity’s probability of default. Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020, approximately 61.5% of the tenants in our single-tenant portfolio were considered “investment grade” consisting of 50.4% with actual investment grade ratings and 11.1% with implied investment grade ratings, and approximately 31.2% of the anchor tenants in our multi-tenant portfolio were considered “investment grade” consisting of 20.2% with actual investment grade ratings and 11.0% with implied investment grade ratings.
We do not have any leases or contracts with governmental entities. We also seek to maintain high occupancy rates through long-term leases. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio was 93.9% occupied.
1
Our business is generally not seasonal.
Financing Strategies and Policies
We use various sources to fund our business, including acquisitions and other investments as well as property and tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other working capital needs. These sources have recently consisted of: (1) equity offerings of common and preferred stock; (2) property-level financing secured by the underlying property or properties; and (3) draws on our revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A.. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein for a discussion of how we have funded our capital needs. We expect to raise additional equity capital and borrow additional monies in the future to fund our capital needs, including future acquisitions. The form of our indebtedness will vary and could be long-term or short-term, secured or unsecured, or fixed-rate or floating rate. We will not enter into interest rate swaps or caps, or similar hedging transactions or derivative arrangements for speculative purposes, but have entered into, and expect to continue to enter into, these types of transactions in order to manage or mitigate our interest rate risk on variable rate debt. See Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. We may reevaluate and change our investing or financing policies in our board’s sole discretion.
COVID-19 Update
As discussed, in more detail in other sections of this Annual Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and is expected to continue to impact, us and our operations. Because of the rigorous underwriting standards used by our Advisor and our focus on credit worthy tenants, we collected 99%, 87%, 93% and 96% of cash rent due for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as of February 15, 2021. In addition, we collected 99% of cash rent due for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 from our top 20 tenants, 99% from our single-tenant portfolio and 88% from our multi-tenant portfolio (based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020). For additional information on our rent collection efforts, including deferral or abatement agreements, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis -Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Organizational Structure
Substantially all of our business is conducted through American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day business with the assistance of our property manager, American Finance Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”). Our Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments LLC (“AR Global”) and these related parties receive compensation and fees for providing services to us. We also reimburse these entities for certain expenses they incur in providing these services to us.
Tax Status
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurance that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Competition
The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We compete for tenants in all of our markets based on various factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to a tenant’s needs and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and on the operating expenses of certain of our properties.
In addition, we compete for acquisitions with other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, and other entities. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater financial resources than we have and generally may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants.
2
Competition from these and other third-party real estate investors may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us and increase prices, which will lower yields, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms.
Regulations - General
Our investments are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, ordinances and regulations, including, among other things, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, zoning regulations, land use controls, environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution and indirect environmental impacts such as increased motor vehicle activity. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.
Regulations - Environmental
As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be acquired directly or indirectly in the future. We hire third parties to conduct Phase I environmental reviews of the real property that we intend to purchase.
Human Capital Resources
We are an externally managed company and thus have no employees. We have retained the Advisor pursuant to a long-term advisory contract to manage our affairs on a day-to-day basis. We have also entered into agreements with our Property Manager to manage and lease our properties. The employees of the Advisor, Property Manager, and their respective affiliates perform a full range of services for us, including acquisitions, property management, accounting, legal, asset management, investor relations and all general administrative services. We depend on the Advisor and the Property Manager for services that are essential to us. If the Advisor and the Property Manager were unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to provide these services ourselves or obtain them from other sources.
Available Information
We electronically file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports, and proxy statements, with the SEC. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Internet address at www.sec.gov. The website contains reports, proxy statements and information statements, and other information, which you may obtain free of charge. In addition, copies of our filings with the SEC may be obtained from our website at www.americanfinancetrust.com. Access to these filings is free of charge. We are not incorporating our website or any information from the website into this Form 10-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Set forth below are the risk factors that we believe are material to our investors and a summary thereof. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends and they may also impact the trading price of our Class A common stock and our preferred stock.
3
Summary Risk Factors
•We may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or our property acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
•We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including negative impacts on our tenants and their respective businesses.
•Provisions in our Credit Facility may limit our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, our 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and our 7.375% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock $0.01 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and currently prohibit us from repurchasing shares.
•If we are not able to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may have to reduce the amount of dividends we pay or identify other financing sources.
•Funding dividends from other sources such as borrowings, asset sales or equity issuances limits the amount we can use for property acquisitions, investments and other corporate purposes.
•Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general.
•Inflation may have an adverse effect on our investments.
•In owning properties we may experience, among other things, unforeseen costs associated with complying with laws and regulations and other costs, potential difficulties selling properties and potential damages or losses resulting from climate change.
•We depend on tenants for our rental revenue and, accordingly, our rental revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. If a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.
•Our tenants may not be diversified including by industry type or geographic location.
•The performance of our retail portfolio is linked to the market for retail space generally and factors that may impact our retail tenants, such as the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers.
•We depend on the Advisor and Property Manager to provide us with executive officers , key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations.
•All of our executive officers face conflicts of interest, such as conflicts created by the terms of our agreements with the Advisor and compensation payable thereunder, conflicts allocating investment opportunities to us, and conflicts in allocating their time and attention to our matters. Conflicts that arise may not be resolved in our favor and could result in actions that are adverse to us.
•We have long-term agreements with our Advisor and its affiliates that may be terminated only in limited circumstances.
•We have substantial indebtedness and may be unable to repay, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due. Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future.
•The stockholder rights plan adopted by our board of directors, our classified board and other aspects of our corporate structure and Maryland law may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
•Restrictions on share ownership contained in our charter may inhibit market activity in shares of our stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.
•We may fail to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Risks Related to Our Properties and Operations
We may be unable to enter into contracts for and complete property acquisitions on advantageous terms or our property acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
Our goal is to grow through acquiring additional properties, and pursuing this investment objective exposes us to numerous risks, including:
•competition from other real estate investors with significant capital resources;
•we may acquire properties that are not accretive;
•we may not successfully manage and lease the properties we acquire to meet our expectations or market conditions may result in future vacancies and lower-than expected rental rates;
4
•we may be unable to obtain debt financing or raise equity required to fund acquisitions on favorable terms, or at all;
•we may need to spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
•agreements to acquire properties are typically subject to customary conditions to closing that may or may not be completed, and we may spend significant time and money on potential acquisitions that we do not consummate;
•the process of acquiring or pursuing the acquisition of a new property may divert the attention of our management team from our existing operations; and
•we may acquire properties without recourse, or with only limited recourse, for liabilities, whether known or unknown.
We rely upon our Advisor and the real estate professionals employed by affiliates of our Advisor to identify suitable investments, but there can be no assurance that our Advisor will be successful in doing so on financially attractive terms or that our objectives will be achieved. If our Advisor is unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable to meet our investment objectives.
We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets and has already had adverse effects and may worsen.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and another pandemic in the future could have, repercussions across many sectors and areas of the global economy and financial markets, leading to significant adverse impacts on economic activity as well as significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved rapidly. In many states and cities where our tenants operate their businesses and where our properties are located, measures have been taken to alleviate the public health crisis, including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders issued by local, state and federal authorities and social distancing measures that have resulted in closure and limitations on the operations of many businesses impacting a number of our tenants. For businesses that have not closed or have closed and reopened, concerns regarding the transmission of COVID-19 has impacted, and will likely continue to impact, the willingness of persons to engage in in-person commerce which has and may continue to impact the revenues generated by our tenants which may further impact their ability to pay their rent to us when due.
Closures by anchor tenants may, among other things, give tenants with co-tenancy provisions the right to terminate their leases or seek a rent reduction. Even if co-tenancy rights do not exist, other tenants may experience downturns in their businesses that could further threaten their on-going ability to continue paying rent and remain solvent.
Additionally, a decrease in consumer traffic to retail, gyms, fitness studios and other businesses that require in-person interactions could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at rental rates equal to or above historical rates. We could also incur more significant re-leasing costs, and the re-leasing process could take longer. For our office tenants, limitations on in-person work environments could lead to a sustained shift away from in-person work environments and have an adverse effect on the overall demand for office space across our portfolio if a significant number of businesses continue to utilize large-scale work-from-home policies as the COVID-19 pandemic continues and thereafter. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also led to disruptions in operations at manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in many countries, which could impact supply chains and the operations of certain of our tenants, further impacting their revenues and ability to pay rent when due.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a decrease in global economic activity. A sustained downturn in the U.S. economy and reduced consumer spending at brick-and-mortar commercial establishments due to the prolonged and continuing existence and threat of the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the ability of our tenants to pay their rent when due. Our ability to lease space and negotiate and maintain favorable rents could also be negatively impacted by a prolonged recession in the U.S. economy. Moreover, the demand for leasing space in our properties could substantially decline during the significant downturn in the U.S. economy which could result in a decline in our occupancy percentage and reduction in rental revenues.
Our tenants may also be negatively impacted if the outbreak of COVID-19 occurs within their workforce or otherwise disrupts their management. Further, certain of our tenants may not have been eligible for or may not have been successful in securing funds under government stimulus programs during 2020 and may similarly be unsuccessful in securing funds under any other government stimulus programs in the future.
As a result of these and other factors, certain tenants have been, or may be in the future, unwilling or unable to pay rent in full or on a timely basis due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of funding, operational failures, or for other reasons. We had collected 99%, 87%, 93% and 96% of cash rent due for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as of February 15, 2021. We also entered into rent deferral or abatement agreements (see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis for additional information). There is no
5
assurance that we will be able to collect the cash rent that is due in future months including amounts deferred thus far. We may also enter into additional rent deferral or abatement agreements in the future.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and thus our ability to collect rents in the future periods cannot be determined at present. We may face defaults and additional requests for rent deferrals or abatements or other allowances particularly if mandatory closures or reduced hours are prolonged or reinstated or if customer traffic continues to be adversely impacted. Furthermore, if we declare any tenants in default for not paying rent or for other breaches of their leases with us, we might not be able to fully recover and may experience delays and additional costs in enforcing our rights as landlord to recover amounts due to us. Our ability to recover amounts under the terms of our leases may also be restricted or delayed due to moratoriums imposed by various jurisdictions on landlord-initiated commercial eviction and collection actions. If any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, files for bankruptcy, we could be further adversely affected due to loss of revenue but also because the bankruptcy may make it more difficult for us to lease the remainder of the property or properties in which the bankrupt tenant operates.
Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, our ability to service our debt obligations, our ability to consummate future property acquisitions and our ability to pay dividends and other distributions to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us. Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, our ability to service our debt obligations, our ability to consummate future property acquisitions and our ability to pay dividends and other distributions to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may impact us in other ways due to, among other factors:
•difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on favorable terms, or at all if global financial markets become disrupted or unstable or credit conditions deteriorate;
•disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions could have an impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate and could result in price or value decreases for real estate assets, which could negatively impact the value of our assets and may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns;
•the volatility in the global stock markets caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on our stock price could dilute our stockholders’ interest in us if we sell addition equity securities at prices less than the prices our stockholders paid for their shares;
•we may reduce the number of properties we seek to acquire;
•we may have to recognize further impairment charges on our assets;
•one or more counterparties to our derivative financial instruments could default on their obligations to us or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of utilizing these instruments;
•with respect to our leases, we may be required to record reserves on previously accrued amounts in cases where it is subsequently concluded that collection is not probable;
•difficulties completing capital improvements at our properties on a timely basis, on budget or at all, could affect the value of our properties;
•our ability to ensure business continuity in the event our Advisor’s continuity of operations plan is not effective or is improperly implemented or deployed during a disruption;
•increased operating risks resulting from changes to our Advisor’s operations and remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on our financial reporting systems and internal controls and procedures, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events; and
•complying with REIT requirements during a period of reduced cash flow could cause us to liquidate otherwise attractive investments or borrow funds on unfavorable conditions.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, one or more resurgences of the virus which could result in further government restrictions, the efficacy of any vaccines or other remedies developed or are or may be developed in the future, the efficacy of on-going efforts to distribute and administer available vaccines, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence but could be material. The situation has changed and could continue to change rapidly and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic, but a prolonged or resurgent outbreak as well as related mitigation efforts could continue to have a material impact on our revenues and cash flow. In addition many of the other risk factors set forth
6
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to pay dividends at their current levels.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to pay dividends on a regular basis on our Class A common stock or our Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock we may issue in the future. Decisions regarding the frequency and amount of any future dividends we pay on our Class A common stock will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of our board of directors, which reserves the right to change our dividend policy at any time and for any reason. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to either our Series A or Series C Preferred Stock must be paid upon redemption of the applicable shares. Our ability to pay dividends in the future and maintain compliance with the restrictions on paying dividends in our Credit Facility, described herein, depends on our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and “MFFO” as defined in the Credit Facility. If we are not able to do so, our ability to comply with the restrictions on paying dividends in our Credit Facility may be adversely affected, and we might be required to reduce the amount of dividends we pay.
Our Credit Facility, contains provisions restricting our ability to pay distributions, including paying cash dividends on equity securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock). We are generally be permitted to pay dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock and other distributions in an aggregate amount of up to 105% of annualized MFFO (as defined in the Credit Facility) for a look-back period of two consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 and a look-back period of three consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 if, as of the last day of the period, after giving effect to the payment of those dividends and distributions, we have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $125.0 million. If we do not satisfy this requirement, the applicable threshold percentage of MFFO is 95% instead of 105%.After March 31, 2021, we will generally be permitted to pay dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock and other distributions for any fiscal quarter in an aggregate amount of up to 105% of annualized MFFO for a look-back period of four consecutive fiscal quarters but only if, as of the last day of the period, after giving effect to the payment of those dividends and distributions, we are able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio and maintain a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $60 million. If these conditions are not satisfied, the applicable threshold percentage of MFFO will be 95% instead of 105%. If applicable, during the continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility, we may not pay dividends or other distributions in excess of the amount necessary for us to maintain our status as a REIT. In November 2019 and July 2020 we entered into amendments to the Credit Facility easing the restrictions on distributions therein. There is no assurance that the lenders will consent to any additional amendments to the Credit Facility that may become necessary to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock, distributions for units of limited partnership designated as LTIP Units (“LTIP Units”) and distributions for limited partnership units that correspond to shares of our Class A common stock was generated from cash flows provided by operations and cash on hand, which consisted of proceeds from financings and sales of real estate investments. We are required to begin paying dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock in April 2021. If we need to continue to identify financing sources other than operating cash flows to continue to fund dividends at their current level, there can be no assurance that other sources will be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Complying with the restriction on the payment of dividends and other distributions in our Credit Facility may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us. Funding dividends from borrowings restricts the amount we can borrow for property acquisitions and investments. Using proceeds from the sale of assets or the issuance of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or other equity securities to fund dividends rather than invest in assets will likewise reduce the amount available to invest. Funding dividends from the sale of additional securities could also dilute our stockholders.
We depend on our Advisor and Property Manager to provide us with executive officers, key personnel and all services required for us to conduct our operations and our operating performance may be impacted by any adverse changes in the financial health or reputation of our Advisor.
We have no employees. Personnel and services that we require are provided to us under contracts with our Advisor and its affiliate, our Property Manager. We depend on our Advisor and our Property Manager to manage our operations and to acquire and manage our portfolio of real estate assets.
7
Thus, our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain of our executive officers and other key personnel of our Advisor and its affiliates, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., our chairman and chief executive officer. In February 2021, Katie P. Kurtz resigned as our chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary, and our board of directors unanimously elected Jason Doyle as assistant secretary, effective immediately, and as chief financial officer, treasurer and secretary, effective upon Ms. Kurtz’s resignation. The effective date of Ms. Kurtz’s resignation will be determined at a later date, but will not occur until after completing our financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Ms. Kurtz will remain in each of her positions until her resignation becomes effective. Neither our Advisor nor any of its affiliates has an employment agreement with these key personnel, and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, of these individuals will remain employed by our Advisor or one of its affiliates and otherwise available to continue to perform services for us. If any of our key personnel were to cease their affiliation with our Advisor, our operating results, business and prospects could suffer. Further, we do not maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our success depends, in large part, upon the ability of our Advisor to hire, retain or contract for services of highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for skilled personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that our Advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining skilled personnel. If our Advisor loses or is unable to obtain the services of key personnel, our Advisor’s ability to manage our business and implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of an investment in shares of our stock may decline.
Any adverse changes in the financial condition or financial health of, or our relationship with, our Advisor, including any change resulting from an adverse outcome in any litigation, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and assets. Additionally, changes in ownership or management practices, the occurrence of adverse events affecting our Advisor, or its affiliates or other companies advised by our Advisor or its affiliates could create adverse publicity and adversely affect us and our relationship with lenders, tenants or counterparties.
Our business and operations could suffer if our Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations experiences system failures or cyber incidents or a deficiency in cybersecurity.
The internal information technology networks and related systems of our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations are vulnerable to damage from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by these disruptions.
As reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to those systems. Our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations must continuously monitor and develop their networks and information technology to prevent, detect, address and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, and social engineering, such as phishing. Our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services are continuously working, including with the aid of third party service providers, to install new, and to upgrade existing, network and information technology systems, to create processes for risk assessment, testing, prioritization, remediation, risk acceptance, and reporting, and to provide awareness training around phishing, malware and other cyber risks to ensure they provide us with services essential to our operations are protected against cyber risks and security breaches and that we are also therefore so protected. However, these upgrades, processes, new technology and training may not be sufficient to protect us from all risks. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques and technologies used in attempted attacks and intrusions evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. In some cases attempted attacks and intrusions are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.
The remediation costs and lost revenues experienced by a subject of an intentional cyberattack or other event which results in unauthorized third party access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information may be significant and significant resources may be required to repair system damage, protect against the threat of future security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm, loss of revenues and litigation, caused by any breaches. Additionally, any failure to adequately protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, or to take appropriate action in cases of infringement may result in significant penalties under privacy law.
Furthermore, a security breach or other significant disruption involving the information technology networks and related systems of our Advisor or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations could:
•result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines or missed permitting deadlines;
•affect our ability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;
•result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information (including information about tenants), which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;
8
•result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;
•require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;
•subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or
•adversely impact our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.
There can be no assurance that the measures adopted by our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations will be sufficient, and any material adverse effect experienced by our Advisor and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations could, in turn, have an adverse impact on us.
Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate
Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes.
Our operating results and value of our properties are subject to risks associated with economic and regulatory changes including:
•changes in general, economic or local conditions;
•changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;
•changes in interest rates and availability of mortgage financing on favorable terms, or at all;
•changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and
•the possibility that one or more of our tenants will be unable to pay their rental obligations.
These and other risks may prevent us from being profitable or from realizing growth or maintaining the value of our real estate properties.
A major tenant, including a tenant with leases in multiple locations, may fail to make rental payments to us, because of a deterioration of its financial condition or otherwise, or may choose not to renew its lease.
Our ability to generate cash from operations depends on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we evaluate the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing available financial and other pertinent information, there can be no assurance that any tenant will be able to make timely rental payments or avoid defaulting under its lease. At any time, our tenants may experience an adverse change in their business. Our tenants may decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration, fail to make rental payments when due, close a number of stores, exercise early termination rights (to the extent these rights are available to the tenant) or declare bankruptcy. If a tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.
If any of the foregoing were to occur, it could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease(s) and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated lease(s). If a lease is terminated or defaulted on, we may be unable to find a new tenant to re-lease the vacated space at attractive rents or at all. Furthermore, the consequences to us would be exacerbated if one of our tenants with leases in multiple locations were to terminate or default its leases.
We rely significantly on three major tenants and therefore, are subject to tenant credit concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to those tenants.
As of December 31, 2020, the following major tenants (including, for this purpose, their affiliates) accounted for 5.0% or more of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:
| Tenant | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Sanofi US | 6.1% | |||||||
| Truist Bank | 6.0% | |||||||
| Fresenius | 5.2% | |||||||
Therefore, a default or lease termination by any of these tenants could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow. In addition, the value of our investment is historically driven by the credit quality of the underlying tenant, and an adverse change in either the tenant’s financial condition or a decline in the credit rating of the tenant may result in a decline in the value of our investments.
9
We are subject to tenant geographic concentrations that make us more susceptible to adverse events with respect to certain geographic areas.
As of December 31, 2020, properties concentrated in the following states accounted for annualized rental income on a straight-line basis equal to 5.0% or more of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:
| State | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Georgia | 10.2% | |||||||
| Florida | 7.0% | |||||||
| New Jersey | 6.7% | |||||||
| Ohio | 6.3% | |||||||
| North Carolina | 6.2% | |||||||
| South Carolina | 5.9% | |||||||
| Alabama | 5.3% | |||||||
As of December 31, 2020, our tenants operated in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Any adverse situation that disproportionately affects the states listed above may have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns, as they have been in the past, and we cannot predict how economic conditions will impact this market in both the short and long-term.
Declines in the economy or a decline in the real estate market in these states could hurt our financial performance and the value of our properties. Factors that may negatively affect economic conditions in these states include:
•business layoffs or downsizing;
•industry slowdowns;
•relocations of businesses;
•changing demographics;
•climate change;
•increased telecommuting and use of alternative workplaces;
•infrastructure quality;
•any oversupply of, or reduced demand for, real estate;
•concessions or reduced rental rates under new leases for properties where tenants defaulted; and
•increased insurance premiums.
Market and economic challenges may adversely impact us.
Our business may be affected by market and economic challenges experienced by the U.S. and global economies. These conditions may materially affect the commercial real estate industry, the businesses of our tenants and the value and performance of our properties and the availability or the terms of financing. Challenging economic conditions may also impact the ability of certain of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. These market and economic challenges include:
•decreased demand for our properties due to significant job losses that occur or may occur in the future, resulting in lower rents and occupancy levels;
•an increase in the number of bankruptcies or insolvency proceedings of our tenants and lease guarantors, which could delay or preclude our efforts to collect rent and any past due balances under the relevant leases;
•widening credit spreads as investors demand higher risk premiums, resulting in lenders increasing the cost for debt financing;
•reduction in the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn, could lead to a decline in real estate values generally, slow real estate transaction activity, reduce the loan-to-value ratio upon which lenders are willing to lend, or make it difficult for us to refinance our debt;
•a decrease in the market value of our properties, which may limit our ability to obtain debt financing secured by our properties;
•a need for us to establish significant provisions for losses or impairments; and
•reduction in the value and liquidity of our short-term investments and increased volatility in market rates for such investments.
10
If a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases.
Any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations, could become insolvent or be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code. A bankruptcy filing of our tenants or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations would result in a stay of all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their assets, unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. Post-bankruptcy debts would be required to be paid currently. If a lease is assumed by the tenant, all pre-bankruptcy balances owing under it must be paid in full. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim for damages. If a lease is rejected, it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant because our claim is capped at the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year or 15% of the remaining term of the lease, but not greater than three years, plus rent already due but unpaid as of the date of the bankruptcy filing (post-bankruptcy rent would be payable in full). This claim could be paid only if funds were available, and then only in the same percentage as that realized on other unsecured claims.
A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments that would mean a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for dividends or other distributions to our stockholders. In the event of a bankruptcy, we cannot assure our stockholders that the debtor in possession or the bankruptcy trustee will assume our lease and that our cash flow and the amounts available for dividends or other distributions to our stockholders will not be adversely affected.
A sale-leaseback transaction may be recharacterized in a tenant’s bankruptcy proceeding.
We have entered and may continue to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we purchase a property and then lease the same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as a sale-leaseback may be recharacterized as either a financing or a joint venture, and either type of recharacterization could adversely affect our business. If the sale-leaseback were recharacterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result would have the status of a creditor. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If this plan were confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we would be bound by the new terms. If the sale-leaseback were recharacterized as a joint venture, our lessee and we could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the lessee relating to the property.
Properties may have vacancies for a significant period of time.
A property may have vacancies either due to the continued default of tenants under their leases or the expiration of leases. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash flow. In addition, because market values of properties depend principally upon the value of their leases, the resale value of properties with prolonged vacancies could decline significantly.
We generally obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would therefore have only limited recourse if our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, properties in “as is” condition on a “where is” basis and “with all faults,” without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant improvements or capital needs.
We may be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to retain existing tenants or attract new tenants. In addition, we are responsible for any major structural repairs, such as repairs to the foundation, exterior walls and rooftops at all of our properties. Accordingly, if we need additional capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we may have to obtain financing from sources such as borrowings, property sales or future equity offerings, to fund these capital requirements. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both.
We may be unable to sell a property when we desire to do so.
The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser
11
and to close the sale of a property. In addition, as a REIT, our ability to sell properties that have been held for less than two years is limited as any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of such property could be subject to the 100% prohibited transaction tax, as discussed in more detail below.
We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure our stockholders that we will have funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property.
We have acquired or financed, and may continue to acquire or finance, properties with lock-out provisions which may prohibit us from selling a property or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
Lock-out provisions, such as the provisions contained in certain mortgage loans we have entered into, could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties, including by requiring the payment of a yield maintenance premium in connection with the required prepayment of principal upon sale, disposition or refinance. Lock-out provisions may also prohibit us from pre-paying the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties. Lock-out provisions could also impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that may otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders, such as precluding us from participating in major transactions that would result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control.
Rising expenses could reduce cash flow.
The properties that we own or may acquire are subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. If any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds with respect to that property for operating expenses. Properties may be subject to increases in tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance and administrative expenses. Our multi-tenant retail properties are not leased on a triple-net basis, therefore we are required to pay certain operating expenses (although we are reimbursed for others). Renewals of leases or future leases for our net lease properties may not be negotiated on a triple-net basis or on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of such expenses, in which event we may have to pay those costs. If we are unable to lease properties on a triple-net basis or on a basis requiring the tenants to pay all or some of such expenses, or if tenants fail to pay required tax, utility and other impositions, we could be required to pay those costs.
Damage from catastrophic weather and other natural events and climate change could result in losses to us.
Certain of our properties are located in areas that may experience catastrophic weather and other natural events from time to time, including hurricanes or other severe weather, flooding, fires, snow or ice storms, windstorms or, earthquakes. These adverse weather and natural events could cause substantial damages or losses to our properties which could exceed our insurance coverage. In the event of a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose our capital invested in the affected property, as well as anticipated future revenue from that property. We could also continue to be obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property.
To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur, we may experience extreme weather and changes in precipitation and temperature and rising sea levels, all of which may result in physical damage to or a decrease in demand for properties located in these areas or affected by these conditions. The impact of climate change be material in nature, including destruction of our properties, or occur for lengthy periods of time.
In addition, changes in federal and state legislation and regulation on climate change could result in increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties or to protect them from the consequence of climate
change.
We may suffer uninsured losses relating to real property or have to pay expensive premiums for insurance coverage.
Our general liability coverage, property insurance coverage and umbrella liability coverage on all our properties may not be adequate to insure against liability claims and provide for the costs of defense. Similarly, we may not have adequate coverage against the risk of direct physical damage or to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property. Moreover, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with such catastrophic events could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims.
This risk is particularly relevant with respect to potential acts of terrorism. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (the “TRIA”), under which the U.S. federal government bears a significant portion of insured losses caused by terrorism, will expire on December 31, 2027, and there can be no assurance that Congress will act to renew or replace the TRIA
12
following its expiration. In the event that the TRIA is not renewed or replaced, terrorism insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain at reasonable costs or at all, which may result in adverse impacts and additional costs to us.
Changes in the cost or availability of insurance due to the non-renewal of the TRIA or for other reasons could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent we must pay greater amounts for insurance due to changes in cost and availability, this could would reduce our cash flow.
Additionally, mortgage lenders insist in some cases that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Accordingly, to the extent terrorism risk insurance policies are not available at reasonable costs, if at all, our ability to finance or refinance our properties could be impaired. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest or war may affect the markets in which we operate our business and our profitability.
We own properties in major metropolitan areas as well as densely populated sub-markets that are susceptible to terrorist attack. Because many of our properties are open to the public, they are exposed to a number of incidents that may take place within their premises and that are beyond our control or ability to prevent, which may harm our consumers and visitors. If an act of terror, a mass shooting or other violence were to occur, we may lose tenants or be forced to close one or more of our properties for some time. If any of these incidents were to occur, the relevant property could face material damage to its image and the revenues generated therefrom. In addition, we may be exposed to civil liability and be required to indemnify the victims, and our insurance premiums could rise in a material amount.
In addition, any kind of terrorist activity or violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could have a negative effect on our business and the value of our properties. More generally, any terrorist attack, other act of violence or war, including armed conflicts, could result in increased volatility in, or damage to, the worldwide financial markets and economy, including demand for properties and availability of financing. Increased economic volatility could adversely affect our tenants’ abilities to conduct their operations profitably or our ability to access capital markets.
Real estate-related taxes may increase and, if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our cash flow may be reduced.
Some local real property tax assessors may seek to reassess some of our properties as a result of our acquisition of the property. Generally, from time to time our property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change or for other reasons deemed relevant by the assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. There is no assurance that leases will be negotiated on the same basis. Increases not passed through to tenants would increase our expenses and could reduce our cash flow.
Covenants, conditions and restrictions may restrict our ability to operate a property, which may adversely affect our operating costs.
Some of our properties are contiguous to other parcels of real property, comprising part of the same commercial center. In connection with such properties, there are significant covenants, conditions and restrictions restricting the operation of such properties and any improvements on such properties, and related to granting easements on such properties. Moreover, the operation and management of the contiguous properties may impact such properties. Compliance with covenants, conditions and restrictions may adversely affect our operating costs and reduce the amount of cash flow we generate.
We compete with third parties in acquiring properties and other investments.
We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs real estate limited partnerships, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments we may generate lower returns on our investments.
Our properties face competition for tenants.
Our properties face competition for tenants. The number of competitive properties could have a material effect on our ability to rent space at our properties and the amount of rents we are able to charge. We could be adversely affected if additional competitive properties are built in locations competitive with our properties, causing increased competition for
13
customer traffic and creditworthy tenants. This type of competition could also require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made or lower rental rates in order to retain tenants.
We may incur significant costs to comply with governmental laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters.
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge a property as collateral for future borrowings.
Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Additionally, our tenants’ operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance.
State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we monitor these laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including obtaining environmental assessments of most properties that we acquire; however, we do not obtain an independent third-party environmental assessment for every property we acquire. In addition, any assessment that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities or reveal that a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition unknown to us. We may incur significant costs to defend against claims of liability, comply with environmental regulatory requirements, remediate any contaminated property, or pay personal injury claims.
If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
In some instances, we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. In these cases, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could negatively impact our cash dividends to stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of sales to our stockholders, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon the sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our cash flow.
Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of co-venturers and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
We may enter into joint ventures, partnerships and other co-ownership arrangements (including preferred equity investments) for the purpose of making investments. In such event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the joint venture. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their required capital contributions. Co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the co-venturer would have full control over the joint venture. Disputes between us and co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-venturers.
We may incur costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Our properties are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“Disabilities Act”). Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services, including restaurants and retail stores, be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Act’s requirements could require removal of access
14
barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties, or, in some cases, an award of damages. A determination that our properties do not comply with the Disabilities Act could result in liability for both governmental fines and damages. If we are required to make unanticipated major modifications to any of our properties to comply with the Disabilities Act which are determined not to be the responsibility of our tenants, we could incur unanticipated expenses which could be material.
The credit profile of our tenants may create a higher risk of lease defaults and therefore lower revenues and returns.
Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020, 38.5% of our single-tenant portfolio and 68.8% of our anchor tenants in our multi-tenant portfolio are not evaluated or ranked by credit rating agencies, or are ranked below “investment grade,” which includes both actual investment grade ratings of the tenant and “implied investment grade” ratings which includes ratings of the tenant’s parent (regardless of whether or not the parent has guaranteed the tenant’s obligation under the lease) or lease guarantor. “Implied investment grade” ratings are also determined using a proprietary Moody’s analytical tool, which compares the risk metrics of the non-rated company to those of a company with an actual rating. Of our “investment grade” tenants for our single-tenant portfolio, 50.4% have actual investment grade ratings and 11.1% have “implied investment grade” ratings. Of our “investment grade” tenants for our anchor tenants in the multi-tenant portfolio, 20.2% have actual investment grade ratings and 11.0% have “implied investment grade” ratings.
Our long-term leases with certain of these tenants may therefore pose a higher risk of default than would long-term leases with tenants who have investment grade ratings.
Net leases may not result in fair market lease rates over time.
The majority of our rental income is generated by net leases, which generally provide the tenant greater discretion in using the leased property than ordinary property leases, such as the right to freely sublease the property, to make alterations in the leased premises and to terminate the lease prior to its expiration under specified circumstances. Furthermore, net leases typically have longer lease terms and, thus, there is an increased risk that contractual rental increases in future years will fail to result in fair market rental rates during those years. Moreover, inflation could erode the value of long-term leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions.
We may in the future acquire or originate commercial real estate debt or invest in commercial real estate-related securities, which would expose us to additional risks.
We may in the future acquire or originate mortgage debt loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity or securitized loans, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), preferred equity and other higher-yielding structured debt and equity investments. Doing so would expose us not only to the risks and uncertainties we are currently exposed to through our direct investments in real estate but also to additional risks and uncertainties attendant to investing in and holding these types of investments, such as:
•risk of defaults by borrowers in paying debt service on outstanding indebtedness and to other impairments of our loans and investments;
•increased competition from entities engaged in mortgage lending and, or investing in our target assets;
•deterioration in the performance of properties securing our investments may cause deterioration in the performance of our investments and, potentially, principal losses to us;
•fluctuations in interest rates and credit spreads could reduce our ability to generate income on our loans and other investments;
•difficulty in redeploying the proceeds from repayments of our existing loans and investments;
•the illiquidity of certain of these investments;
•lack of control over certain of our loans and investments;
•the potential need to foreclose on certain of the loans we originate or acquire, which could result in losses additional risks, including the risks of the securitization process, posed by investments in CMBS and other similar structured finance investments, as well as those we structure, sponsor or arrange;
•use of leverage may create a mismatch with the duration and interest rate of the investments that we financing;
•risks related to the operating performance or trading price volatility of any publicly-traded and private companies primarily engaged in real estate businesses we invest in; and
•the need to structure, select and more closely monitor our investments such that we continue to maintain our qualification as a REIT and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Risks Related to Retail Properties
Retail conditions may adversely affect our income.
A substantial amount of our rental income is generated by retail properties, some of which are subject to net leases. The market for retail space has been and could be adversely affected by weaknesses in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, changes in consumer preferences and spending, excess amounts of retail space in a number of markets and competition for tenants in the markets, as well as the increasing use of the Internet by retailers and consumers. Customer traffic to these shopping areas may be adversely affected by the closing of stores in the same multi-tenant property, or by a reduction in traffic to these stores resulting from a regional economic downturn, a general downturn in the local area where our property is located, or a decline in the desirability of the shopping environment of a particular retail property.
A retail property’s revenues and value may also be adversely affected by the perceptions of retailers or shoppers regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the retail property. Many of our multi-tenant properties, such as shopping centers and malls, are open to the public and any incidents of crime or violence would result in a reduction of business traffic to tenant stores in our properties. Any such incidents may also expose us to civil liability. In addition, to the extent that the investing public has a negative perception of the retail sector, the value of our Class A common stock may be negatively impacted.
The majority of our leases provide for base rent plus contractual base rent increases. Our portfolio also includes some leases with a percentage rent clause for additional rent above the base amount based upon a specified percentage of the sales our tenants generate. Under those leases which contain percentage rent clauses, our revenue from tenants may increase as the sales of our tenants increase. Generally, retailers face declining revenues during downturns in the economy. As a result, the portion of our revenue which we may derive from percentage rent leases could be adversely affected by a general economic downturn.
We are subject to risks related to our multi-tenant retail properties.
We own a portfolio of 33 multi-tenant retail properties that are not subject to net leases representing 30% of our annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020. Multi-tenant retail properties are subject to increased risk relating to the operation and management of the property, including:
•risks affecting the retail industry generally;
•the reliance on anchor tenants; and
•competition with other retail channels, including e-commerce.
In addition, because our multi-tenant retail properties are not net leased, we bear certain costs and expenses of these properties, as opposed to net leased properties that require tenants to bear all, or substantially all, of the costs and expenses of the properties.
Competition with other retail channels may reduce our profitability.
Our retail tenants face changing consumer preferences and increasing competition from other forms of retailing, such as e-commerce, discount shopping centers, outlet centers, upscale neighborhood strip centers, catalogues and other forms of direct marketing, discount shopping clubs and telemarketing. Other retail centers within the market area of our multi-tenant retail properties also compete with our properties for customers, affecting their tenant cash flows and thus affecting their ability to pay rent. In addition, in some cases our leases may require tenants to pay rent based on the amount of sales revenue that they generate. If these tenants experience competition, the amount of their rent may decrease and cash flows will decrease.
A shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may have an adverse impact on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
Many retailers operating brick and mortar stores have made online sales a vital piece of their business. There can be no assurance that our strategy of building a diverse portfolio focused on properties leased to service retail and experiential retail tenants, to better insulate us from the effects online commerce has had on some retail operators that lease space in properties like ours, will be successful. The shift to online shopping, which has accelerated and may further accelerate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, may nonetheless cause declines in brick and mortar sales generated by certain of our tenants and may cause certain of our tenants to reduce the size or number of their retail locations in the future.
Competition may impede our ability to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire and require us to undertake unbudgeted capital improvements, which could harm our operating results.
We may compete for tenants with respect to the renewal of leases and re-letting of space as leases expire. Any competitive properties that are developed close to our existing properties also may impact our ability to lease space to creditworthy tenants. Increased competition for tenants may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise planned to make. Any unbudgeted capital improvements may negatively impact our cash flow. Also, to the extent we are unable to renew leases or re-let space as leases expire, it would result in decreased rental income
16
from tenants and reduce the income produced by our properties. Excessive vacancies (and related reduced shopper traffic) at one of our properties may hurt sales of other tenants at that property and may discourage them from renewing leases.
Several of our properties may rely on tenants who are in similar industries or who are affiliated with certain large companies, which would magnify the effects of downturns in those industries, or companies and have a disproportionate adverse effect on the value of our investments.
Certain tenants of our properties are concentrated in certain industries or retail categories and we have a large number of tenants that are affiliated with certain large companies. As a result, any adverse effect to those industries, retail categories or companies generally would have a disproportionately adverse effect on our portfolio. As of December 31, 2020, the following industries had concentrations of properties representing 5.0% of our consolidated annualized rental income on a straight-line basis:
| Industry | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Healthcare | 9.9% | |||||||
| Gas/Convenience | 9.8% | |||||||
| Retail Banking | 7.4% | |||||||
| Quick Service Restaurant | 6.2% | |||||||
| Pharmaceuticals | 6.1% | |||||||
| Discount Retail | 5.3% | |||||||
| Specialty Retail | 5.1% | |||||||
Any adverse situation that disproportionately affects the industries listed above may have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio.
Our revenue is impacted by the success and economic viability of our anchor retail tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space.
Any anchor tenant, which we define as a tenant that occupy over 10,000 square feet of one of our multi-tenant properties, or a tenant that is an anchor tenant at more than one of our multi-tenant properties, may become insolvent, may suffer a downturn in its business, or may decide not to renew its lease. Any of these events would result in a reduction or cessation in rental payments to us. A lease termination by an anchor tenant could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants whose leases permit cancellation or rent reduction if another tenant’s lease is terminated. We own properties where the tenants may have rights to terminate their leases if certain other tenants are no longer open for business. These “co-tenancy” provisions also may exist in some leases where we own a portion of a retail property and one or more of the anchor tenants lease space in that portion of the center not owned or controlled by us. If these tenants were to vacate their space, tenants with co-tenancy provisions would have the right to terminate their leases or seek a rent reduction. Even if co-tenancy rights do not exist, other tenants may experience downturns in their businesses that could threaten their ongoing ability to continue paying rent and remain solvent. In such event, we may be unable to re-lease the vacated space. Similarly, the leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant, or the bankruptcy, insolvency or downturn in business of any of our anchor tenants, could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. Many expenses associated with properties (such as operating expenses and capital expenses) cannot be reduced when there is a reduction in income from the properties. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases at the retail center.
If an anchor tenant vacates its space for any reason and we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant, we may incur additional expenses in order to remodel the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant. There can be no assurance that any re-leasing of a vacated space, either to a single new anchor tenant or to more than one tenant, will be on comparable terms to the prior lease, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
Risks Related to Debt Financing
Our level of indebtedness may increase our business risks.
As of December 31, 2020, we had total outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.8 billion. In addition, we may incur additional indebtedness in the future for various purposes. The amount of this indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for us, including:
•hindering our ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions;
•limiting our ability to access the capital markets to raise additional equity or debt on favorable terms or at all, whether to refinance maturing debt, to fund acquisitions, to fund dividends or for other corporate purposes;
17
•limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, distributions, stock repurchases or other uses; and
•making us more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases.
In most instances, we acquire real properties by using either existing financing or borrowing new funds. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge the underlying property as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties or for other corporate purposes. We may also borrow if we need funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we generally distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. We also may borrow if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT.
If there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, then we must identify other sources to fund the payment or risk defaulting on the indebtedness. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss because defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. In this event, we may be unable to pay the amount of distributions required in order to maintain our REIT status. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. If we provide a guaranty on behalf of a subsidiary entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for repaying the debt if it is not paid by the entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties.
The Credit Facility, and certain of our other indebtedness, contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pay distributions and otherwise limit our operating flexibility.
The Credit Facility (as defined herein) contains various customary operating covenants, including a restricted payments covenant that limits our ability to declare or pay dividends or other distributions on, or to purchase or redeem, any of our equity interests, with certain permitted exceptions as well as covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of liens, investments, fundamental changes, agreements with affiliates and changes in the nature of our business. The Credit Facility also contains for example financial covenants limiting our consolidated leverage and consolidated secured leverage, requiring us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, limiting our other recourse debt to total asset value, and requiring us to maintain a minimum net worth. Until March 31, 2021, (i) all properties acquired with proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility must be added to the borrowing base, and (ii) we are prohibited from acquiring any multi-tenant properties and from making certain other investments. We are restricted from using proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility to accumulate or maintain cash or cash equivalents in excess of amounts necessary to meet current working capital requirements, as determined in good faith by us. In addition, we may not fund certain share repurchases, unless we satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40 million; provided that until March 31, 2021, the Company is not permitted to repurchase shares by tender offer or otherwise. Until March 31, 2021 we are also required to maintain a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $100.0 million as of the end of each month. All of these requirements could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, limit operating flexibility and use cash that would otherwise be available to us. Decreases in cash rent collected from our tenants may decrease the availability of future borrowings under our Credit Facility. If we are unable to comply with financial covenants and other obligations under our Credit Facility or other debt agreements, including restrictions on the payment of dividends under our Credit Facility, we could default under those agreements which could potentially result in an acceleration of our indebtedness or foreclosure on our properties and could otherwise negatively impact our liquidity. There can be assurance that our leaders will consent to any amendment, such as the amendment entered into in July 2020, necessary to maintain compliance with our Credit Facility. Certain of our other indebtedness, and future indebtedness we may incur, contain or may contain similar restrictions. These or other restrictions may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment and operating objectives.
Increases in mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, mortgage debt. We run the risk of being unable to refinance our mortgage loans when they come due or we otherwise desire to do so on favorable terms, or at all. If interest rates are higher when the properties are refinanced, we may not be able to refinance the properties and we may be required to obtain equity financing to repay the mortgage or the property may be subject to foreclosure.
18
Increasing interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends, and we may be adversely affected by uncertainty surrounding the LIBOR.
We have incurred, and may continue to incur, variable-rate debt. Increases in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would increase our interest cost. If we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we may need to sell one or more of our investments in properties even though we would not otherwise choose to do so.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 17% of our $1.8 billion in total gross outstanding debt was variable-rate debt indexed to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and not fixed by swap. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (which regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On November 30, 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority announced a partial extension of this deadline, indicating its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. We are not able to predict when LIBOR may be limited or discontinued or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. We are monitoring and evaluating the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is limited or discontinued and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. In some instances, transitioning to an alternative rate may require negotiation with lenders and other counterparties and could present challenges. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, we will either utilize the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or an alternative benchmark established by the agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, which will be SOFR if available or an alternate benchmark that is being widely used in the market at that time as selected by the agent.
The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted and could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that time. This could occur, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate would be accelerated or magnified. Any of these events, as well as the other uncertainty surrounding the transition to LIBOR, could adversely affect us.
Changes in the debt markets could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition.
The domestic and international commercial real estate debt markets are subject to volatility, resulting in, from time to me, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies and reductions in the availability of financing. If our overall cost of borrowings increases, either due to increases in the index rates or due to increases in lender
spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of future acquisitions. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns. If there is a disruption in the debt markets, our ability to borrow monies to finance the purchase of, or other activities related to, our real estate assets may be negatively impacted. If we are unable to borrow monies on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, our ability to purchase properties or meet other capital requirements may be limited, and the return on the properties we do purchase may be lower. In addition, we may find it difficult, costly or impossible to refinance maturing indebtedness. Furthermore, the state of the debt markets could have an impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets and could negatively impact the value of our assets.
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties, and these conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could adversely affect our investment opportunities.
We rely on our Advisor and the executive officers and other key real estate professionals at our Advisor to identify suitable investment opportunities for us. Several of these individuals are also the executive officers or key real estate professionals at AR Global and other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global. Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global. For example, Global Net Lease or “GNL,” an entity advised by affiliates of our Advisor seeks, like us, to invest in sale-leaseback transactions involving single-tenant net-leased commercial properties, in the U.S. An investment opportunity allocation agreement to which we and GNL are parties states that we will have the first opportunity to acquire one or more domestic retail or distribution properties with a lease duration of ten years or more and that GNL will be given first opportunity to acquire office or industrial properties. However, there can be no assurance the executive officers and real estate professionals at our Advisor or its affiliates will not direct attractive investment opportunities for which we do not have contractual priority to GNL, or other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global.
19
We and other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global also rely on these executive officers and other real estate professionals to supervise the property management and leasing of properties. These individuals, as well as AR Global, as an entity, are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any business or from possessing interests in other businesses and ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, development, ownership, leasing or sale of real estate investments.
Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures, which could result in a disproportionate benefit to the other venture partners at our expense.
We may enter into joint ventures with other entities advised by affiliates of AR Global. Our Advisor may have conflicts of interest in determining which entity advised by affiliates of AR Global enters into any particular joint venture agreement. The co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, our Advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the affiliated co-venturer and in managing the joint venture. Due to the role of our Advisor and its affiliates, agreements and transactions between the co-venturers with respect to any joint venture will not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers, which may result in the co-venturer receiving benefits greater than the benefits that we receive. In addition, we may assume liabilities related to the joint venture that exceeds the percentage of our investment in the joint venture.
Our Advisor, AR Global and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel face competing demands relating to their time.
Our Advisor, AR Global and their officers and employees and certain of our executive officers and other key personnel and their respective affiliates are key personnel, general partners and sponsors of other entities, including entities advised by affiliates of AR Global, having investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and may have other business interests as well. Because these entities and individuals have competing demands on their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.
All of our executive officers, some of our directors and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our Advisor and our Property Manager face conflicts of interest related to their positions or interests in entities related AR Global.
All of our executive officers, and the key real estate and other professionals assembled by our Advisor and Property Manager are also executive officers, directors, managers, key professionals or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interests in our Advisor, our Property Manager or other entities under common control with AR Global. In addition, all of our executive officers and some of our directors serve in similar capacities for other entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor. As a result, they have duties to each of these entities, which duties could conflict with the duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from (a) allocation of investments and management time and services between us and the other entities; (b) compensation to our Advisor and Property Manager; (c) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor; and (d) investments with entities advised by affiliates of our Advisor. Conflicts of interest may hinder our ability to implement our business strategy.
We would be required to pay a substantial internalization fee and would not have the right to retain our executive officers or other personnel of our Advisor who currently manage our day-to-day operations if we internalize our management functions.
If we internalize our management functions by becoming self-managed, we would be required to pay a substantial internalization fee to our Advisor. We also would not have any right to retain our executive officers or other personnel of our Advisor who currently manage our day to day operations. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and suffering deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies could cause us to incur additional costs, and our management’s attention could be diverted from most effectively managing our investments, which could result in litigation and resulting associated costs in connection with the internalization transaction.
We have only limited rights to terminate our advisory agreement and multi-tenant management and leasing agreements.
We have limited rights to terminate our Advisor, and, with respect to management of our multi-tenants properties, our Property Manager. Our advisory agreement with our Advisor does not expire until April 29, 2035, is automatically extended for successive 20-year terms upon expiration and may only be terminated under limited circumstances. Our multi-tenant property management and leasing agreements will expire on the later of (i) November 4, 2025; and (ii) the termination date of our advisory agreement, and may only be terminated for cause prior to the end of the term. Because our termination rights under our advisory agreement and our multi-tenant property management and leasing agreements are limited, it may be difficult for us to renegotiate the terms of these agreements or replace our Advisor or Property Manager
20
even for poor performance by our Advisor or Property Manager or if the terms of these agreement are no longer consistent with the terms generally available to externally-managed REITs for similar services.
Our Advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the structure of the compensation it may receive.
Under the advisory agreement, the Advisor is entitled to substantial minimum compensation regardless of performance as well as incentive compensation if certain thresholds are achieved. The variable portion of the base management fee payable to the Advisor under the advisory agreement increases proportionately with the cumulative net proceeds from the issuance of common, preferred or other forms of equity by us. In addition, under our multi-year outperformance agreement with the Advisor, the Advisor is entitled to earn LTIP Units if certain performance conditions are met over a three-year performance period that began in July 2018. These arrangements, coupled with the fact that the Advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us, may result in the Advisor taking actions or recommending investments that are riskier or more speculative than an advisor with a more significant investment in us might take or recommend. In addition, these fees reduce the cash available for investment or other corporate purposes.
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
The trading prices of our Class A common stock and preferred stock may fluctuate significantly.
The trading prices of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock may be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, and they are impacted by various factors, many of which are outside our control. Among the factors that could affect these trading prices are:
•our financial condition and performance;
•our ability to grow through property acquisitions, the terms and pace of any acquisitions we may make and the availability and terms of financing for those acquisitions;
•the financial condition of our tenants, including tenant bankruptcies or defaults;
•actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
•the amount and frequency of dividends that we pay;
•additional sales of equity securities, including Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, or the perception that additional sales may occur;
•the reputation of REITs and real estate investments generally and the attractiveness of REIT equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, and fixed income debt securities;
•our reputation and the reputation of AR Global and its affiliates or other entities advised by AR Global and its affiliates;
•uncertainty and volatility in the equity and credit markets;
•fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates;
•changes in revenue or earnings estimates, if any, or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;
•failure to meet analyst revenue or earnings estimates;
•strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
•the extent of investment in our shares by institutional investors;
•the extent of short-selling of our shares;
•general financial and economic market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for REITs and other real estate related companies;
•failure to maintain our REIT status;
•changes in tax laws;
•domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance; and
•all other risk factors addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Moreover, although shares of both the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock are listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), there can be no assurance that the trading volume for these shares will provide sufficient liquidity for holders to sell their shares at the time of their choosing or that the trading price for shares will equal or exceed the price paid for the shares. Because the shares of our preferred stock have at a fixed dividend rate, their respective trading prices in the secondary market will be influenced by changes in interest rates and will tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. In particular, an increase in market interest rates may result in higher yields on other financial instruments
21
and may lead purchasers of our preferred stock to demand a higher yield on their investment which could adversely affect the market price of those securities.
The limit on the number of shares a person may own may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of our capital stock or more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our Class A common stock.
We have a classified board, which may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors. At each annual meeting, directors of one class are elected to serve until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. The classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all our assets) that might result in a premium price for our stockholders.
The stockholder rights plan adopted by our board of directors may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
In April 2020, our board of directors adopted a stockholder rights plan and authorized dividend of one preferred share purchase right expiring April 2021 for each outstanding share of our Class A common stock. In February 2021, the expiration date of these rights was extended to April 12, 2024. If a person or entity, together with its affiliates and associates, acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of our then outstanding Class A common stock, subject to certain exceptions, each right would entitle its holder (other than the acquirer, its affiliates and associates) to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock at a substantial discount to the public market price. In addition, under certain circumstances, we may exchange the rights (other than rights beneficially owned by the acquirer, its affiliates and associates), in whole or in part for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The stockholder rights plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company or a large block of our Class A common stock without the approval of our board of directors, which may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired and may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
•any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or
•an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation.
A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
•80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and
•two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder.
22
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. The business combination statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination involving our Advisor or any affiliate of our Advisor. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and our Advisor or any affiliate of our Advisor. As a result, our Advisor and any affiliate of our Advisor may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the super-majority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders.
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, is the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, other than actions arising under federal securities laws; (b) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the Maryland General Corporation (the “MGCL”), or any successor provision thereof, including, without limitation, (i) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders or (ii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, our charter or our bylaws; or (c) any other action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our bylaws also provide that unless we consent in writing, none of the foregoing actions, claims or proceedings may be brought in any court sitting outside the State of Maryland and the federal district courts are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is favorable. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving these matters in other jurisdictions.
Maryland law limits the ability of a third-party to buy a large stake in us and exercise voting power in electing directors, which may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all shares of stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within specified ranges of voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by any person. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
Our board of directors may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of our stockholders’ investments.
Our board of directors may change our investment policies in its sole discretion. The methods of implementing our investment policies also may vary, as new real estate development trends emerge and new investment techniques are developed. Our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of our stockholders’ investments could change without their consent.
We may issue additional equity securities in the future.
Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights to any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 350 million shares of stock, consisting of 300 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 50 million shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2020, we had the
23
following stock issued and outstanding: (i) 108,837,209 shares of Class A common stock; (ii) 7,842,008 shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and (iii) 3,535,700 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to the approval rights of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and our Series C Preferred Stock regarding authorization or issuance of equity securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, our board of directors, without approval of our common stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock, or the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock, or may classify or reclassify any unissued shares without obtaining stockholder approval and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the stock.
All of our authorized but unissued shares of stock may be issued in the discretion of our board of directors. The issuance of additional shares of our Class A common stock could dilute the interests of the holders of our Class A common stock, and any issuance of shares of preferred stock senior to our Class A common stock, such as our Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, or any incurrence of additional indebtedness, could affect our ability to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock ranking equal or senior to our Series A or Series C Preferred Stock, including preferred stock convertible into shares of our Class A common stock, could dilute the interests of the holders of Class A common stock Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock and any issuance of shares of preferred stock senior to our Series A Preferred Stock or C Preferred Stock or incurrence of additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on our Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock. These issuances could also adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock.
We may issue shares in public or private offerings in the future, including shares of our Class A common stock issued as awards to our officers, directors and other eligible persons, pursuant to the advisory agreement in payment of fees thereunder. We may also issue shares if our Advisor earns any of the LTIP Units it currently holds at the end of the three-year performance period that began in July 2018. LTIP Units are convertible into Class A Units after they have been earned and subject to several other conditions. Class A Units may be redeemed on a one-for-one basis for, at our election, shares of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof. We may also issue Class A Units to sellers of properties we acquire. We also may issue shares of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to our existing at-the-market programs or any similar future program.
Because our decision to issue equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. The issuance of additional equity securities could adversely affect stockholders.
The terms of our outstanding preferred stock, and the terms other preferred stock we may issue, may discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
The change of control conversion and redemption provisions contained in provisions governing both our Series A and Series C Preferred Stock may make it more difficult for a party to acquire us or discourage a party from seeking to acquire us. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of both the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock will, under certain circumstances, have the right to convert some of or all their respective shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our Class A common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration). Under these circumstances we will also have a special optional redemption right to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. The provisions of our Series A and Series C Preferred Stock may have the effect of discouraging a third party from seeking to acquire us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our Class A common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests. We may also issue other classes or series of preferred stock that could also have the same effect.
We depend on our OP and its subsidiaries for cash flow and are structurally subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries.
We conduct, and intend to continue conducting, all of our business operations through our OP, and, accordingly, we rely on distributions from our OP and its subsidiaries to provide cash to pay our other obligations. There is no assurance that our OP or its subsidiaries will be able to, or be permitted to, pay distributions to us that will enable us to pay dividends to our stockholders and meet our obligations. Each of our OP’s subsidiaries is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from these entities. In addition, any claims we may have will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our OP and its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of our creditors or to pay dividends to our stockholders only after all the liabilities and obligations of our OP and its subsidiaries have been paid in full.
24
We indemnify our officers, directors, the Advisor and its affiliates against claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us, and our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our officers, directors, the Advisor and its affiliates are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporation’s best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, subject to certain limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, our charter provides that no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages and permits us to indemnify our directors and officers from liability and advance certain expenses to them in connection with claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us, and we are not restricted from indemnifying our Advisor or its affiliates on a similar basis. We have entered into indemnification agreements consistent with Maryland law and our charter with our directors and officers, certain former directors and officers, our Advisor and AR Global. We and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, and our Advisor and its affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce the recovery of our stockholders and our recovery against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents or our Advisor and its affiliates in some cases. Subject to conditions and exceptions, we also indemnify our Advisor and its affiliates from losses arising in the performance of their duties under the advisory agreement and have agreed to advance certain expenses to them in connection with claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks
Our failure to remain qualified as a REIT would subject us to U.S. federal income tax and potentially state and local tax.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013 and intend to operate in a manner that would allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we may terminate our REIT qualification inadvertently, or if our board of directors determines doing so is in our best interests. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. We have structured, and intend to continue structuring, our activities in a manner designed to satisfy all the requirements to qualify as a REIT. However, the REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex and interpretation of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT is limited. Furthermore, any opinion of our counsel, including tax counsel, as to our eligibility to remain qualified as a REIT is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and is not a guarantee that we will continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be successful in operating so we can remain qualified as a REIT. Our ability to satisfy the asset tests depends on our analysis of the characterization and fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. Our compliance with the REIT income or quarterly asset requirements also depends on our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, if certain of our operations were to be recharacterized by the IRS, such recharacterization would jeopardize our ability to satisfy all requirements for qualification as a REIT. Furthermore, future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT.
If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, and we do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate rate. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT qualification. Losing our REIT qualification would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, amounts paid to stockholders that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes would no longer qualify for the dividends paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Even as a REIT, in certain circumstances, we may incur tax liabilities that would reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Even as a REIT, we may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. For example, net income from the sale of properties that are “dealer” properties sold by a REIT and that do not meet a safe harbor available under the Code (a “prohibited transaction” under the Code) will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. Similarly, if we were to fail an income test (and did not lose our REIT status because such failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect), we would be subject to tax on the income that does not meet the income test requirements. We also may decide to retain net capital gains we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal
25
income tax returns and seek a refund of such tax. We also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income. We also may be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, including franchise, payroll and transfer taxes, either directly or at the level of the OP or at the level of the other companies through which we indirectly own our assets, such as any taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which are subject to full U.S. federal, state, local and foreign corporate-level income tax. Any taxes we pay directly or indirectly will reduce our cash flow.
To qualify as a REIT, we must meet annual distribution requirements, which may force us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions. This could delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce our stockholders’ overall return.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we make with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (a) 85% of our ordinary income, (b) 95% of our capital gain net income and (c) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. These requirements could cause us to distribute amounts that otherwise would be spent on investments in real estate assets and it is possible that we might be required to borrow funds, possibly at unfavorable rates, or sell assets to fund these distributions. Although we intend to make distributions sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements and to avoid U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our earnings while we qualify as a REIT, it is possible that we might not always be able to do so.
Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to structure any sale-leaseback transaction we enter into so that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, thereby allowing us to be treated as the owner of the property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the IRS may challenge this characterization. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and recharacterized as a financing transaction or loan for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to the property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to continue to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
Certain of our business activities are potentially subject to the prohibited transaction tax.
For so long as we qualify as a REIT, our ability to dispose of property during the first few years following acquisition may be restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT qualification. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, while we qualify as a REIT and provided we do not meet a safe harbor available under the Code, we will be subject to a 100% penalty tax on the net income from the sale or other disposition of any property (other than foreclosure property) that we own, directly or indirectly through any subsidiary entity, including the OP, but generally excluding TRSs, that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Whether property is inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property. We intend to avoid the 100% prohibited transaction tax by (1) conducting activities that may otherwise be considered prohibited transactions through a TRS (but such TRS will incur corporate rate income taxes with respect to any income or gain recognized by it), (2) conducting our operations in such a manner so that no sale or other disposition of an asset we own, directly or indirectly through any subsidiary, will be treated as a prohibited transaction or (3) structuring certain dispositions of our properties to comply with the requirements of the prohibited transaction safe harbor available under the Code for properties that, among other requirements, have been held for at least two years. Despite our present intention, no assurance can be given that any particular property we own, directly or through any subsidiary entity, including the OP, but generally excluding TRSs, will not be treated as inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business.
TRSs are subject to corporate-level taxes and our dealings with TRSs may be subject to a 100% excise tax.
A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 20% (25% for our taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018) of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT, including gross income from operations pursuant to management contracts. Accordingly, we may use one or more TRSs generally to hold properties for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business or to hold assets or conduct activities that we cannot conduct directly as a REIT. A TRS will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax on its taxable income. However, our TRSs may be subject to limitations on the deductibility of its
26
interest expense. In addition, the Code imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
If the OP failed to qualify as a partnership or is not otherwise disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT.
If the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of the OP as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the OP would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the OP could make to us. This also would result in our failing to qualify as a REIT, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our income. This substantially would reduce our cash available to pay dividends and other distributions to our stockholders. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which the OP owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership and is otherwise not disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the partnership or limited liability company would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to the OP. Such a recharacterization of an underlying property owner could also threaten our ability to maintain our REIT qualification.
We may choose to make distributions in shares of our Class A Common Stock, in which case our stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of the cash portion of distributions they receive.
In connection with our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order to satisfy this requirement, we may make distributions with respect to our Class A Common Stock that are payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock (which could account for up to 80% of the aggregate amount of such distributions) at the election of each stockholder. Taxable stockholders receiving such distributions will be required to include the full amount of such distributions as ordinary dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, U.S. stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of the cash portion of the distribution received.
Accordingly, U.S. stockholders receiving a distribution of shares of our Class A Common Stock may be required to sell shares received in such distribution or may be required to sell other stock or assets owned by them, at a time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. If a U.S. stockholder sells the shares that it receives as part of the distribution in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution, depending on the market price of the shares at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to certain non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such distribution, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock, by withholding or disposing of part of the shares included in such distribution and using the proceeds of such disposition to satisfy the withholding tax imposed. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our Class A Common Stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
The taxation of distributions can be complex; however, distributions to stockholders that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable as ordinary income, which may reduce our stockholders’ after-tax anticipated return from an investment in us.
Amounts that we pay to our taxable stockholders out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will be taxable as ordinary income. Noncorporate stockholders are entitled to a 20% deduction with respect to these ordinary REIT dividends which would, if allowed in full, result in a maximum effective federal income tax rate on these ordinary REIT dividends of 29.6% (or 33.4% including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income); however, the 20% deduction will end after December 31, 2025.
However, a portion of the amounts that we pay to our stockholders generally may (1) be designated by us as capital gain dividends taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us, (2) be designated by us as qualified dividend income, taxable at capital gains rates, to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from our TRSs, or (3) constitute a return of capital to the extent that they exceed our accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the tax basis of a stockholder’s investment in shares of our stock. Amounts paid to our stockholders that exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits and a stockholder’s tax basis in shares of our stock generally will be taxable as capital gain.
Our stockholders may have tax liability on distributions that they elect to reinvest in shares of our common stock, but they would not receive the cash from such distributions to pay such tax liability.
Stockholders who participate in the DRIP will be deemed to have received, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be taxed on, the distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the distributions were not a tax-free return of capital. In addition, our stockholders will be treated for tax purposes as having received an additional
27
distribution to the extent the shares are purchased at a discount to fair market value. As a result, unless a stockholder is a tax-exempt entity, it may have to use funds from other sources to pay its tax liability on the distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the DRIP.
Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
Currently, the maximum tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 23.8%, including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for this reduced rate and, as described above, through December 31, 2025, will be subject to an effective rate of 33.4%, including the 3.8% surtax on net investment income. Although this does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including shares of our stock. Tax rates could be changed in future legislation.
Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction we enter into to manage risk of interest rate changes, price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets or in certain cases to hedge previously acquired hedges entered into to manage risks associated with property that has been disposed of or liabilities that have been extinguished, if properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations, does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions will likely be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in a TRS generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward against future taxable income of the TRS.
Complying with REIT requirements may force us to forgo or liquidate otherwise attractive investment opportunities.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must ensure that we meet the REIT gross income tests annually and that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and certain kinds of mortgage-related securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than securities that qualify for the 75% asset test and securities of qualified REIT subsidiaries and TRSs) generally cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer or 5% of the value of our assets as to any one issuer. In addition, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs and no more than 25% of our assets may consist of publicly offered REIT debt instruments that do not otherwise qualify under the 75% asset test. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate assets from our portfolio or not make otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
The ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may subject us to U.S. federal income tax and reduce distributions to our stockholders.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. While we intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we may terminate our REIT election if we determine that qualifying as a REIT is no longer in our best interests. If we cease to be a REIT, we would become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income (as well as any applicable state and local corporate tax) and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which may have adverse consequences on our total return to our stockholders and on the market price of shares of our stock.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could increase our tax liability, reduce our operating flexibility and reduce the market price of shares of our stock.
Changes to the tax laws may occur, and any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in shares of our stock or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. Our stockholders are urged to consult with an independent tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our stock.
Although REITs generally receive better tax treatment than entities taxed as non-REIT “C corporations,” it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-REIT “C
28
corporation.” As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a non-REIT “C corporation,” without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has duties to us and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines that such changes are in our best interests.
The share ownership restrictions for REITs and the 9.8% share ownership limit in our charter may inhibit market activity in shares of our stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.
In order to qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code, may not own, actually or constructively, more than 50% in value of the issued and outstanding shares of our stock at any time during the last half of each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. Attribution rules in the Code determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively owns shares of our stock under this requirement. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own shares of our stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for each taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. To help ensure that we meet these tests, among other purposes, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of shares of our stock.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT while we so qualify. Unless exempted by our board of directors, for so long as we qualify as a REIT, our charter prohibits, among other limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of our stock, any person from beneficially or constructively owning (applying certain attribution rules under the Code) more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of our stock and more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of the outstanding shares of our stock. Our board of directors may not grant an exemption from these restrictions to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of the 9.8% ownership limit would result in the termination of our qualification as a REIT. These restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply, however, if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions is no longer required in order for us to continue to so qualify as a REIT.
These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for shares of our stock or otherwise be in the best interests of the stockholders.
Non-U.S. stockholders will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax and may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on distributions received from us and upon the disposition of our shares.
Subject to certain exceptions, amounts paid to non-U.S. stockholders will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Such dividends ordinarily will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless the dividends are treated as “effectively connected” with the conduct by the non-U.S. stockholder of a U.S. trade or business. Capital gain distributions attributable to sales or exchanges of “U.S. real property interests” (“USRPIs”), generally will be taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder (other than a “qualified foreign pension fund,” certain entities wholly owned by a “qualified foreign pension fund,” and certain foreign publicly-traded entities) as if such gain were effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. However, a capital gain distribution will not be treated as effectively connected income if (a) the distribution is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the U.S. and (b) the non-U.S. stockholder does not own more than 10% of any class of our stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date the distribution is received.
Gain recognized by a non-U.S. stockholder upon the sale or exchange of shares of our stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless such stock constitutes a USRPI. Shares of our stock will not constitute a USRPI so long as we are a “domestically-controlled qualified investment entity.” A domestically-controlled qualified investment entity includes a REIT if at all times during a specified testing period, less than 50% in value of such REIT’s stock is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. stockholders. We believe, but there can be no assurance, that we will be a domestically-controlled qualified investment entity.
Even if we do not qualify as a domestically-controlled qualified investment entity at the time a non-U.S. stockholder sells or exchanges shares of our stock, gain arising from such a sale or exchange would not be subject to U.S. taxation as a sale of a USRPI if: (a) the shares are of a class of our stock that is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury regulations, on an established securities market, and (b) such non-U.S. stockholder owned, actually and constructively, 10% or less of the outstanding shares of our stock of that class at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the sale.
Potential characterization of dividends and other distributions or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt investors.
If (a) we are a “pension-held REIT,” (b) a tax-exempt stockholder has incurred (or is deemed to have incurred) debt to purchase or hold shares of our stock, or (c) a holder of shares of our stock is a certain type of tax-exempt stockholder, dividends on, and gains recognized on the sale of, shares of our stock by such tax-exempt stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Code.

Market Information
Our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AFIN” as of July 19, 2018. Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total stockholder return on our Class A common stock, based on the market price of Class A common stock, with the FTSE National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Equity Index (“NAREIT”), Modern Index Strategy Indexes (“MSCI”), and the Nasdaq Index for the period commencing July 19, 2018, the date on which we listed our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq and ending December 31, 2020. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on July 19, 2018 with the reinvestment of dividends.
Holders
As of February 18, 2021, we had 108.8 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding held by a total of 7,837 stockholders of record.
Dividends
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements.
The amount of dividends payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our Credit Facility or other agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code. Our board of directors may reduce the amount of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time prior to dividends being declared. Therefore, dividend payments are not assured. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock continue to accrue and must be paid upon redemption of those shares. For further information on provisions in our Credit Facility that restrict the payment of dividends and other distributions, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors – We may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to pay dividends at their current levels” and Note 5 — Credit Facility to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table details from a tax perspective, the portion of common stock dividends classified as return of capital and ordinary dividend income for tax purposes, per share per annum, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. All dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock were considered 100% ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. As previously discussed, no dividends were paid on the Series C Preferred Stock for the year ended December 31, 2020, the first such dividend will be paid in 2021.

Dividends to Common Stockholders
During the period of January 2018 through July 2018, we paid dividends on our common stock on a monthly basis at an annualized rate equal to a rate of $1.30 per annum, per share of common stock. In connection with the Listing, our board of directors changed the rate at which we pay dividends on its common stock to an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share per month effective as of July 1, 2018. In March 2020, our board of directors approved a reduction in our annualized common stock dividend to $0.85 per share, or $0.0708333 per share on a monthly basis, due to the uncertain and rapidly changing environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new common stock dividend rate became effective beginning with our April 1 dividend declaration. Historically, and through September 30, 2020, we declared common stock dividends based on monthly record dates and generally paid dividends, once declared, on or around the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to Class A common stock holders of record on the applicable record date. On August 27, 2020, our board of directors approved a change in our Class A common stock dividend policy. Subsequent dividends authorized by our board of directors on shares of our Class A common stock have been, and we anticipate will continue to be, paid on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to Class A common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment. This change affected the frequency of dividend payments only, and did not impact the annualized dividend rate on Class A common stock of $0.85.
Dividends to Series A Preferred Stockholders
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date.
Dividends to Series C Preferred Stockholders
Dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first dividend for the Series C Preferred Stock will be paid on April 15, 2021 and will represent an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from December 18, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
Equity-Based Compensation
Prior to the Listing, our board of directors had adopted an employee and director restricted share plan (the “RSP”). Effective on July 19, 2018, our board of directors adopted an equity plan for the Advisor (the “Advisor Plan”) and an equity plan for individuals (the “Individual Plan” and together with the Advisor Plan, the “2018 Equity Plan”). The 2018 Equity Plan succeeded and replaced the RSP. Also, we have granted an award of LTIP Units to the Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP under the Advisor Plan.
The following table sets forth information regarding securities authorized for issuance under the 2018 Equity Plan and the 2018 OPP as of December 31, 2020:

[1]Represents shares of Class A common stock underlying LTIP Units awarded pursuant to the 2018 OPP. These LTIP Units may be earned by the Advisor if we achieve threshold, target or maximum performance goals based on our absolute and relative total stockholder return over a performance period that commenced on July 19, 2018 and will end on the earliest of (i) July 19, 2021, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as our advisor. LTIP Units earned as of the last day of the performance period will also become vested as of that date. Effective as of that same date, any LTIP Units that are not earned will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by us. For additional information on the 2018 OPP, please see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
[2]We have the Advisor Plan and the Individual Plan which we refer to together as the 2018 Equity Plan. The Advisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Under the Individual Plan, we may only make awards to our directors, officers and employees (if we ever have employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to us, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to us, certain consultants to us and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to us. By contrast, under the Advisor Plan, we may only make awards to the Advisor. The number of shares that may be subject to awards under the 2018 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 10.0% of our outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis at any time. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa. As of December 31, 2020, we had 108,837,209 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis, and 5,048,921 shares of Class A common stock had been issued under or were subject to awards under the 2018 Equity Plan (including unearned LTIP Units). For additional information on the 2018 Equity Plan, please see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following information contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this report for a description of these risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are an externally managed REIT focusing on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution-related commercial real estate properties located primarily in the United States. Our assets consist primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to “investment grade” and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of multi-tenant retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. We intend to focus our future acquisitions primarily on net leased, single-tenant service retail properties, defined as properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 920 properties, comprised of 19.3 million rentable square feet, which were 93.9% leased, including 887 single-tenant net leased commercial properties (849 of which are leased to retail tenants) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties. Based on annualized rental income on a straight-line basis as of December 31, 2020, the total single-tenant properties comprised 70% of our total portfolio and were 60% leased to service retail tenants, and the total multi-tenant properties comprised 30% of our total portfolio and were 50% leased to experiential retail tenants, defined as tenants in the restaurant, discount retail, entertainment, salon/beauty and grocery sectors, among others.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day business with the assistance of our Property Manager. Our Advisor and Property Manager are under common control with AR Global and these related parties receive compensation and fees for providing services to us. We also reimburse these entities for certain expenses they incur in providing these services to us.
Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic has created several risks and uncertainties that may impact our business, including our future results of operations and our liquidity. A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19 affecting states or regions in which we or our tenants operate, could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The ultimate impact on our results of operations, our liquidity and the ability of our tenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable to predict the nature and scope of any of these factors. These factors include the following, among others:
•The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all. However, we have taken proactive steps with regard to rent collections to mitigate the impact on our business (see “—Management Actions” below).
•There may be a decline in the demand for tenants to lease real estate, as well as a negative impact on rental rates. As of December 31, 2020, our portfolio had a high occupancy level of 93.9%, the weighted average remaining term of our leases was 8.8 years (based on annualized straight-line rent) and only 9% of our leases expiring were in the next two years (based on annualized straight line rent).
•Capital market volatility and a tightening of credit standards could negatively impact our ability to obtain debt financing. However, despite capital market volatility, we closed on a $715 million loan in July 2020 secured by, among other things, a first mortgage on 368 single-tenant properties and used a portion of the proceeds to repay $497.0 million principal amount on a mortgage that was coming due in September 2020 and the remainder to repay outstanding amounts under our revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (our “Credit Facility”).
•The volatility in the global financial market could negatively impact our ability to raise capital through equity offerings, which as a result, could impact our decisions as to when and if we will seek additional equity funding.
•The negative impact of the pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows could impact our ability to comply with covenants in our Credit Facility and the amount available for future borrowings thereunder.
•The potential negative impact on the health of personnel of our Advisor, particularly if a significant number of the Advisor’s employees are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity.
For additional information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, please see Item 1A. “Risk Factors — We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets and has already had adverse effects and may worsen.”

The Advisor has responded to the challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in early March 2020, the Advisor took proactive steps to prepare for and actively mitigate the inevitable disruption COVID-19 would cause, such as enacting safety measures, both required or recommended by local and federal authorities, including remote working policies, cooperation with localized closure or curfew directives, and social distancing measures at all of our properties. Additionally, there has been no material adverse impact on our financial reporting systems or internal controls and procedures and the Advisor’s ability to perform services for us. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are supplementing the historical discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 with a current update on the measures we have taken to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on our business and future results of operations.
Management’s Actions
We have taken several steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business. For rent collections, we have been in direct contact with our tenants since the crisis began, cultivating open dialogue and deepening the fundamental relationships that we have carefully developed through prior transactions and historic operations. Based on this approach and the overall financial strength and creditworthiness of our tenants, we believe that we have had positive results in our cash rent collections during this pandemic. We have collected approximately 96% of the original cash rent due for the fourth quarter 2020 across our entire portfolio, including approximately 99% from our top 20 tenants (based on the total of fourth quarter cash rent due across our portfolio) and approximately 97% of the original cash rent due for January 2021 across our entire portfolio. This was an improvement from the second and third quarters and reflects the expiration of rent deferral agreements where tenants have resumed paying full rent.
During the first quarter of 2020, we collected 99% of original cash rent. We reported total portfolio original cash rent collections of 86% due for the second quarter as of October 31, 2020, which has improved to 87% of second quarter’s original cash rent collected as of February 15, 2021. We also reported single-tenant and multi-tenant second quarter cash rent collections of 95% and 67%, respectively, as of October 31, 2020, which was unchanged from 95% and improved to 69%, respectively, as of February 15, 2021. We reported total portfolio original cash rent collections of 92% due for the third quarter as of October 31, 2020, which has improved to 93% of third quarter’s original cash rent collected as of February 15, 2021. We also reported single-tenant and multi-tenant third quarter cash rent collections of 97% and 82%, respectively, as of October 31, 2020, which have improved to 98% and 83%, respectively, as of February 15, 2021.
The tables below presents cash rent collections for the fourth quarter of 2020 and January 2021 using cash receipts as of February 15, 2021 and therefore includes cash received in January for rent due in the fourth quarter of 2020. Cash received in January is not included in cash and cash equivalents on our December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, we had collected approximately 96% of the original cash rent due for the fourth quarter 2020 across our entire portfolio. The below cash rent status may not be indicative of any future period and remains subject to changes based ongoing collection efforts and negotiation of additional agreements. Moreover, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect the cash rent that is due in future months including the deferred 2020 rent amounts due during 2021 under deferral agreements we have entered into with our tenants. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and thus our ability to collect rents in future periods cannot be determined at present.

(2) Includes deferral agreements as well as amendments granting the tenant a rent credit for some portion of cash rent due. The rent credit is generally coupled with an extension of the lease. We granted rent credits with respect to less than 1% of cash rent due for the fourth quarter of 2020. The terms of the lease amendments providing for rent credits differ by tenant in terms of length and amount of the credit. A deferral agreement is an executed or approved amendment to an existing lease to defer a certain portion of cash rent due. The most common arrangements represent deferral of some or all of the rent due for the fourth quarter of 2020 with such amounts to be paid in the early part of 2021.

(1) We granted rent credits with respect to less than 1% of cash rent due for January 2021.
The total amount deferred under approved agreements, for deferral agreements, entered into through December 31, 2020, was $1.1 million and $7.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. The total amounts of rent credits (i.e. abatements), for abatement agreements entered into through December 31, 2020, was $0.1 million and $2.7 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. With respect to all approved agreements in 2020 that included an extension of the lease, the weighted average deferral or rent credit period was five months and $2.7 million of cash rent, in return for a weighted average extension term of 36 months and $46.5 million of future cash rent, resulting in net additional cash rent of $43.8 million to be received over the aggregate extension terms.
In addition to the proactive measures taken on rent collections, we have taken additional steps to maximize our flexibility related to our liquidity and minimize the related risk during this uncertain time. Consistent with our plans to acquire additional properties, we borrowed $150.0 million and $20 million in March and April, respectively, under our Credit Facility. In July 2020, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Facility designed to provide us with additional flexibility during the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 (the “Adjustment Period”) to continue addressing the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including certain relief from financial covenants. See Note 5 — Credit Facility for further details. Concurrently with this amendment, and in connection with our refinancing of certain mortgage debt, we repaid approximately $197 million outstanding under our Credit Facility (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net for additional information). Additionally, on March 30, 2020, we announced a reduction in our dividend, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, reducing the cash needed to fund dividend payments by approximately $27.2 million per year based on shares outstanding at that time. For additional information on our financing activity during the year ended 2020, see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Borrowings” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies include:
Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
As discussed above, we have taken a proactive approach to achieve mutually agreeable solutions with our tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and in some cases, in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, we executed several types of lease amendments. These agreements include deferrals and abatements (i.e. rent credits) and also may include extensions to the term of the leases.
For accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC 842: Leases, normally a company would be required to assess a lease modification to determine if the lease modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied which would require a company to reassess the classification of the lease (including leases for which the prior classification under ASC 840 was retained as part of the election to apply the package of practical expedients allowed upon the adoption of ASC 842, which does not apply to leases subsequently modified). However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in which many leases are being modified, the FASB and SEC have provided relief that allows companies to make a policy election as to whether they treat COVID-19 related lease amendments as a provision included in the pre-concession arrangement, and therefore, not a lease modification, or to treat the lease amendment as a modification. In order to be considered COVID-19 related, cash flows must be substantially the same or less than those prior to the concession. For COVID-19 relief qualified changes, there are two methods to potentially account for such rent deferrals or abatements under the relief, (1) as if the changes were originally contemplated in the lease contract or (2) as if the deferred payments are variable lease payments contained in the lease contract. For all other lease changes that did not qualify for FASB relief, we would be required to apply modification accounting including assessing classification under ASC 842.
Some, but not all of our lease modifications qualify for the FASB relief. In accordance with the relief provisions, instead of treating these qualifying leases as modifications, we have elected to treat the modifications as if previously contained in the
43
lease and recast rents receivable prospectively (if necessary). Under that accounting, for modifications that were deferrals only, there would be no impact on overall rental revenue and for any abatement amounts that reduced total rent to be received, the impact would be recognized ratably over the remaining life of the lease.
For leases not qualifying for this relief, we have applied modification accounting and determined that there were no changes in the current classification of its leases impacted by negotiations with its tenants.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, which include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. As of December 31, 2020, these leases had an average remaining lease term of approximately 8.8 years. Because many of our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires us to record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rents receivable that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. When we acquire a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease modification is executed. We defer the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. Pursuant to certain of our lease agreements, tenants are required to reimburse us for certain property operating expenses, in addition to paying base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Under ASC 842, we elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For comparative purposes, we also elected to reflect prior revenue and reimbursements reported under ASC 842 also on a single line. For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under both ASC 842 and 840, we have reflected them on a net basis.
We own certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, we defer the recognition of contingent rental income, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, approximately $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in contingent rental income is included in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
We continually review receivables related to rent and unbilled rents receivable and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under the leasing standard adopted on January 1, 2019 (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion), we are required to assess, based on credit risk only, if it is probable that we will collect virtually all of the lease payments at lease commencement date and we must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are not permitted. If we determine that it’s probable we will collect virtually all of the lease payments (rent and common area maintenance), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if we determine that it’s not probable that we will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and a full reserve would be recorded on previously accrued amounts in cases where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating revenue from tenants beginning on January 1, 2019, in accordance with new accounting rules, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable. In the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, this assessment included consideration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ability of our tenants to pay rents in accordance with their contracts. The assessment included all of our tenants with a focus on our multi-tenant retail properties which have been more negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than our single-tenant properties.
Under ASC 842, uncollectable amounts are reflected as reductions in revenue from tenants. Under ASC 840, we recorded such amounts as bad debt expense as part of property operating expenses. As a result of the review and assessment as described above and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of our tenants, we recorded a reduction in revenue from tenants of $6.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, such amounts were $2.9 million (recorded as a reduction of revenue from tenants) and $2.7 million (recorded as bad debt expense in property operating expenses), respectively.

Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. At the time an asset is acquired, we evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of the asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. See the Purchase Price Allocation section below for a discussion of the initial accounting for investments in real estate.
Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. We evaluate probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2020 we had no properties classified as held for sale and as of December 31, 2019 we had one property classified as held for sale (see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments, Net to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information).
As more fully discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ASU No. 2016-02 Leases to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, all of our leases as lessor prior to adoption of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019, were accounted for as operating leases and we continued to account for them as operating leases under the transition guidance. We evaluate new leases originated after the adoption date (by us or by a predecessor lessor/owner) pursuant to the new guidance where a lease for some or all of a building is classified by a lessor as a sales-type lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership reside with the tenant. This situation is met if, among other things, there is an automatic transfer of title during the lease, a bargain purchase option, the non-cancelable lease term is for more than major part of remaining economic useful life of the asset (e.g., equal to or greater than 75%), if the present value of the minimum lease payments represents substantially all (e.g., equal to or greater than 90%) of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception, or if the asset so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor (and therefore would not provide any future value to the lessor) after the lease term. Further, such new leases would be evaluated to consider whether they would be failed sale-leaseback transactions and accounted for as financing transactions by the lessor. During the three year period ended December 31, 2020, we had no leases as a lessor that would be considered as sales-type leases or financings under sale-leaseback rules.
We are also the lessee under certain land leases which were previously classified prior to adoption of lease accounting and will continue to be classified as operating leases under transition elections unless subsequently modified. These leases are reflected on the balance sheet and the rent expense is reflected on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Purchase Price Allocation
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as if vacant basis. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued non-controlling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. All acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were asset acquisitions.
For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
We utilize various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other
45
methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, discount rates, fair market lease rates, and land values per square foot.
Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases as applicable. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 24 months. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationships, as applicable, is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. We did not record any intangible asset amounts related to customer relationships during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Gain on Sale/Exchange of Real Estate Investments
Gains on sales of rental real estate will generally be recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”). In accordance with ASC 845-10, Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions, if a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance, the cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset is the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it, and a gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we review the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, we would recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss recorded would equal the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
Depreciation and Amortization
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the components of our real estate investments for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on our results from operations because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our real estate investments, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower earnings on an annual basis.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests (a “leasehold interest” is a right to enjoy the exclusive possession and use of an asset or property for a stated definite period as created by a written lease).
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
The value of customer relationship intangibles, if any, is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
46
Above and Below-Market Lease Amortization
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of revenue from tenants over the remaining terms of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from tenants over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below-market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.
Upon termination of an above or below-market lease any unamortized amounts would be recognized in the period of termination.
Equity-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based plan under which its directors, officers and other employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to us are eligible to receive awards. Awards granted thereunder are accounted for under the guidance for employee share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for these stock awards is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such an award is included in equity-based compensation and is recognized in accordance with the service period (i.e., vesting) required or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.
We have granted the Advisor LTIP Units issued under the 2018 OPP. These awards are market-based awards with a related required service period. In accordance with ASC 718, the LTIP Units were valued at their grant date and that value is reflected as a charge to earnings evenly over the service period. Further, in the event of a modification, any incremental increase in the value of the instrument measured on the date of the modification both before and after the modification, will result in an incremental amount to be reflected prospectively as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. The expense for these non-employee awards is included in the equity-based compensation line item of the consolidated statements of operations.

__________
[1]Includes the two properties exchanged during the year ended December 31, 2020 as we considered the substitution of new properties under the same master lease as a continuation of the same tenant relationship and therefore as part of our 2019-2020 Same Store. For additional information on real estate sales, see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate portfolio. NOI is equal to revenue from tenants less property operating expense. NOI excludes all other financial statement amounts included in net loss attributable to stockholders. We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unlevered basis. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included elsewhere in this Annual Report for additional disclosure and a reconciliation to our net loss attributable to stockholders.
Revenue from Tenants
Revenue from tenants increased approximately $5.5 million to $305.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $299.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase in revenue from tenants was due to the incremental increase from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2019 of $29.6 million, partially offset by a decrease from our 2019-2020 Same Store properties of $20.4 million and a decrease from our Disposals Since January 1, 2019 of $3.7 million.
The decrease in our 2019-2020 Same Store revenue reflects the impact of the termination fee, net, of $7.6 million recorded in 2019 and higher bad debt expense of $3.7 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue from tenants, partially offset by $1.9 million of below market lease intangible liability write-offs for the year ended December 31, 2020 pertaining to two multi-tenant lease terminations, which were recorded as an addition to our 2019-2020 Same Store revenue. The higher bad debt expense in the year ended December 31, 2020 was due to our assessment of receivables due from tenants which have been most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
48
The decrease in our 2019-2020 Same Store was also due to the revenue decreases arising from lease terminations of $1.1 million, a decrease in operating expense reimbursement revenue of $3.2 million and a decrease in multi-tenant revenue of $6.4 million mainly due to lower multi-tenant occupancy during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to last year and, to a lesser extent, abatements granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information on our revenue recognition policy and details on the factors included in our assessment, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses primarily consist of the costs associated with maintaining our properties including real estate taxes, utilities, and repairs and maintenance. Property operating expense decreased $0.4 million to $52.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases from our 2019-2020 Same Store properties of $3.4 million and a decrease of $0.1 million from our Disposals Since January 1, 2019, partially offset by an increase of $3.0 million from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2019
Other Results of Operations
Asset Management Fees to Related Party
Asset management fees paid to the Advisor increased $2.1 million to $27.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to an increase in the fixed portion of the base management fee from $22.5 million annually to $24.0 million annually, effective on February 17, 2019, as well as an increase in the variable portion of the base management fee due to our equity issuances.
The variable portion of the base management fee is calculated on a monthly basis and is equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by us (including, among other things, common stock, preferred stock and certain convertible debt but excluding among other things, equity based compensation) from and after February 16, 2017. The variable portion of the base management fee will increase in connection with future issuances of equity securities.
In light of the unprecedented market disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, we agreed with the Advisor to amend the advisory agreement to temporarily lower the quarterly thresholds we must reach on a quarterly basis for the Advisor to receive the variable incentive management fee through the end of 2020, and in January 2021, we agreed with the Advisor to further amend the advisory agreement to extend the expiration of these thresholds through the end of 2021. There was $0.1 million in variable incentive management fees earned during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Please see Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on fees incurred from the Advisor.
Impairment Charges
We recorded $12.9 million of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2020, $11.5 million of which related to one of our multi-tenant held-for-use properties, and $1.4 million of which related to three of our single-tenant held-for-use properties one of which was under contract to be sold at a price lower than the carrying value and two of which had experienced recent performance declines. We incurred $0.8 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $0.7 million related to an impairment charge recorded on one property when it was classified as held for use and subsequently sold in 2019, as the carrying amount of the long-lived assets associated with this property was greater than our estimate of its fair value. The remaining $0.1 million of impairment charges were recorded upon classification of properties as assets held for sale during the year ended December 31, 2019, to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal. See Note 3 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Acquisition, Transaction and Other Costs
Acquisition, transaction and other costs decreased $3.3 million to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to lower prepayment charges on mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the prior year. The prepayment charges on mortgages were $0.8 million and $4.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, the decrease was impacted by a decrease in litigation costs of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in transaction costs of $1.0 million relating to costs associated with our July 2020 Credit Facility amendment, and dead deals which occurred in 2020. For further details on litigation costs, please see Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
49
Equity-Based Compensation
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $13.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively, relating to restricted shares granted to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to us and the members of our board of directors and the LTIP Units granted to our Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP. For additional details on our restricted shares and the 2018 OPP, see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense decreased $0.6 million to $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to the reduction in previously charged expenses related to 2019 bonus awards made by the Advisor to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates of $1.4 million, a $0.3 million decrease due to the overpayment of invoices in prior years for a shared service, lower transfer agent costs of $0.6 million and lower professional fees of $0.8 million. For additional details on the 2019 bonus awards and the overpayment of monies, see Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Agreements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in legal expenses of $2.2 million related to negotiating and executing agreements with tenants arising from non-payment of rent (see the “Overview — Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for additional information). As tenants resume paying rent in full, we expect that legal expenses will decrease and return to previous levels.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $12.7 million to $137.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $124.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Depreciation and amortization expense was impacted by an increase of $11.8 million resulting from our Acquisitions Since January 1, 2019 and $2.7 million from our 2019-2020 Same Store properties, partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million from our Disposals Since January 1, 2019. The increase in our 2019-2020 Same Store depreciation was primarily due to the write-off of tenant improvements at one of our properties. During the second quarter of 2020, a tenant in the health club business declared bankruptcy and vacated its space. We were in the process of funding improvements that were being made to the space for the tenant. In addition, improvements being made by the tenant were not paid for and we accrued approximately $2.3 million to pay liens on the property by the tenant’s contractors. We determined that certain of the improvements no longer had any value in connection with any foreseeable replacement tenant and wrote off approximately $3.1 million which is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Goodwill Impairment
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we fully impaired the $1.6 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the completion of our merger with American Realty Capital–Retail Centers of America, Inc. (the “Merger”), as a result of fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock. This goodwill impairment charge recorded was based on the assessment of relevant metrics which included estimated carrying and fair market value of our real estate and market-based factors. During the year ended December 31, 2020 we had no goodwill impairments.
Gain on Sale/Exchange of Real Estate Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold six properties for an aggregate contract price of $13.3 million, resulting in aggregate gains on sale of $4.3 million. In addition, we recorded a $2.2 million gain related to a non-monetary exchange of two properties then owned by us for two different properties not then owned by us pursuant to a tenant’s exercise of its right to substitute properties under its lease, resulting in a total gain on sale of $6.5 million recorded in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss income. For additional information on real estate sales, see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 25 properties which resulted in gains on sale. These properties sold for an aggregate contract price of $131.7 million, resulting in aggregate gains on sale of $23.7 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $0.5 million to $78.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $78.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding balances on our mortgage notes payable and Credit Facility, partially offset by lower interest rates and lower costs incurred during 2020 related to debt repayments and refinancings.
During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the average outstanding balances on our mortgage notes payable were $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and our average outstanding balance under our Credit Facility was $376.0 million and $324.1 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the weighted-average interest rates on our
50
mortgage notes payable were 4.28% and 4.58%, with the decline reflecting in part, our refinancing activity during the third quarter of 2020, and the weighted-average interest rates on our Credit Facility were 2.86% and 4.31%, respectively.
Costs related to debt repayments and refinancings decreased $0.9 million, net, in 2020 as a result of the non-recurrence of a $1.5 million of swap termination cost recorded in 2019, partially offset by higher deferred financing amortization of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to last year.
Other Income
Other income was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily comprised of the receipt of approximately $0.8 million of funds disbursed to us for permitting the early release of a pre-acquisition tenant improvement escrow account, which had not been previously funded by us, in connection with the release of a mortgage loan encumbering a property as part of refinancing the mortgage loan in September 2020 (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Additionally, $0.1 million relates to interest income on our bank deposits, and $0.1 million relates to other miscellaneous income, including $9,000 of insurance reimbursements related to the Merger.
Other income was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily comprised of $2.3 million of insurance reimbursements related to costs incurred from the Merger. Additionally, $1.2 million relates to property insurance claims and $0.1 million relates to other miscellaneous income.
Loss on Non-Designated Derivative
Loss on non-designated derivative instruments of $9,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to an interest rate cap on a mortgage note payable entered into in the fourth quarter of 2020 that is designed to protect us from adverse interest rate changes. For additional information , see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable and Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The level of cash flows provided by or used in operating activities is affected by the rental income generated from leasing activity, including leasing activity due to acquisitions and dispositions, restricted cash we are required to maintain, the timing of interest payments, the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $92.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 and consisted of a net loss of $31.9 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $157.7 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage premiums on borrowings, equity-based compensation, gain on sale of real estate investments and impairment charges. In addition, cash flows from operating activities was impacted by an increase in straight-line rent receivable of $19.8 million which primarily related to COVID-19 related lease amendments and acquisitions, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $9.1 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.8 million and a decrease in deferred rent and other liabilities of $0.6 million.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $105.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 included net income of $4.2 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $117.1 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of mortgage premiums on borrowings, equity-based compensation, gain on sale of real estate investments and impairment charges. In addition, cash provided by operating activities was impacted by an increase in straight-line rent receivable of $9.5 million, the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.2 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.5 million and a decrease in deferred rent and other liabilities of $2.7 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020 of $223.0 million consisted primarily of cash paid for investments in real estate and other assets of $220.4 million and capital expenditures of $9.2 million, partially offset by cash received from the sale of real estate investments (net of mortgage loans repaid) of $6.7 million and deposits for real estate acquisitions of $0.1 million.
The net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $404.8 million consisted primarily of cash paid for investments in real estate and other assets of $428.9 million, capital expenditures of $13.7 million, partially offset by deposits for real estate investments of $3.0 million and cash received from the sale of real estate investments (net of mortgage loans repaid) of $34.8 million.
51
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities of $143.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 consisted primarily of net proceeds from mortgage refinancings of $210.8 million, net proceeds received from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock of $22.5 million and net proceeds received from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock of $85.4 million, partially offset by net repayments on our Credit Facility of $52.3 million, cash dividends paid to holders of Class A common stock of $76.0 million, cash dividends paid to holders of Series A Preferred Stock of $14.2 million and payments of financing costs of $30.9 million.
The net cash provided by financing activities of $289.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted primarily of net proceeds from mortgage notes payable of $217.8 million, net proceeds received from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock of $169.0 million, net proceeds received from the issuance of Class A common stock of $31.6 million, net draw downs on our Credit Facility of $8.4 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid to holders of Class A common stock of $117.1 million, cash dividends paid to holders of Series A Preferred Stock of $3.9 million, payments of financing costs of $10.8 million and prepayment charges on mortgages of $4.5 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, which has had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on the amount of cash we receive from our operations. We have taken proactive steps with regard to rent collections to mitigate the impact on our business and liquidity. The ultimate impact on our results of operations, our liquidity and the ability of our tenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable to predict the nature and scope of any of these factors. Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and ability to service our debt obligations, our ability to consummate future property acquisitions and our ability to pay dividends and other distributions to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us. In addition to the discussion below, please see the “Overview — Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for additional information on the risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s actions taken in response.
We expect to fund our future short-term operating liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by our property operations and proceeds from our Credit Facility. Following the amendment to our Credit Facility in July 2020, we are restricted from using proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility to accumulate or maintain cash or cash equivalents in excess of amounts necessary to meet current working capital requirements, which may limit our ability to use proceeds from the Credit Facility for these purposes. We may also generate additional liquidity through property dispositions and, to the extent available, secured or unsecured borrowings, our “at the market” equity offering program for Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock ATM Program”), our “at the market” equity offering program for Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program”), our “at the market” equity offering program for Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock ATM Program”), or other offerings of debt or equity securities. The volatility in the global financial market could negatively impact our ability to raise capital through equity offerings, which as a result, could impact out decisions as to when and if we will seek additional equity funding.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $102.9 million and $81.9 million, respectively and availability for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of $126.0 million and $150.9 million, respectively.
During the Adjustment Period, our Credit Facility requires us to maintain a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under our Credit Facility of not less than $100.0 million, which could limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us. We are also restricted during the Adjustment Period from using proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility to accumulate or maintain cash or cash equivalents in excess of amounts necessary to meet current working capital requirements, as determined in good faith by us. Our principal demands for funds are for payment of our operating and administrative expenses, property acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and cash dividends to our common and preferred stockholders.
Mortgage Notes Payable and Credit Facility
As of December 31, 2020, we had $1.5 billion of gross mortgage notes payable outstanding and $280.9 million outstanding under our Credit Facility, for total gross debt of $1.8 billion. Of our total gross debt, 82.6% is fixed-rate (including by swap agreement), and 17.4% is variable-rate. As of December 31, 2020, our net debt to gross asset value ratio was 40.2%. We define net debt as the principal amount of our outstanding debt (excluding the effect of deferred financing costs, net and mortgage premiums and discounts, net) less cash and cash equivalents. Gross asset value is defined as total assets plus accumulated depreciation and amortization. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted-average interest rates on the mortgage notes payable and Credit Facility were 4.0% and 2.8%, respectively.
52
As of December 31, 2020, we had $4.0 billion in real estate investments, at cost and we had pledged approximately $2.8 billion of these real estate investments, at cost, as collateral for our mortgage notes payable. In addition, approximately $1.1 billion of these real estate investments, at cost, were included in the unencumbered asset pool comprising the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. Therefore, this real estate is only available to serve as collateral or satisfy other debts and obligations if it is first removed from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility, which would reduce the amount available to us on the Credit Facility.
Mortgage Notes Payable - 2020 Activity
On December 1, 2020, we refinanced the mortgage loan with Column Financial secured by our Patton Creek multi-tenant property in Alabama. In connection with the refinancing, we paid $7.3 million in cash on hand to reduce the principal balance outstanding to $34.0 million and paid closing fees of $2.8 million. The loan bears interest at a floating interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 4.25%. The loan is interest-only with the principal due at maturity on December 6, 2021. Beginning on this initial maturity date, the floating interest rate will increase to one-month LIBOR plus 5.25% if we exercise our option to extend the loan past its initial maturity to December 6, 2022. In conjunction with this refinancing, we entered into an interest cap agreement for a notional amount of $34.0 million (see Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information).
On September 4, 2020, we borrowed $125.0 million from a syndicate of regional banks led by BOK Financial. The loan is secured by three of our single-tenant buildings located in Bridgewater, New Jersey that serve as the U.S. headquarters for Sanofi US Services Inc. At closing, all net proceeds from the loan and approximately $2.6 million in cash on hand were used to repay the previously outstanding mortgage indebtedness encumbering the property. The loan bears interest at a floating interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.9%, with the effective interest rate fixed at 3.27% by swap agreement. The loan is interest-only with the principal due at maturity on September 4, 2025. We may prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time.
On July 24, 2020, we entered into a new $715.0 million mortgage loan which is secured by, among other things, a first mortgage on 368 single-tenant properties located in 41 states and the District of Columbia and totaling approximately 7.1 million square feet. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.743% and matures on August 6, 2025. The loan requires payments of interest only, with the principal balance due on the maturity date. At closing, of the approximately $697.1 million of net proceeds from the loan after fees and expenses, $696.2 million was used to repay $499.0 million for a mortgage loan originally scheduled to mature in September 2020, bearing an interest rate of 4.36% per annum, and the remainder was used to repay outstanding amounts under our Credit Facility. Of the 368 single-tenant properties secured by the new loan, 223 properties were previously collateral for the mortgage loan that was originally scheduled to mature in September 2020, and all but one of the remaining properties were part of the borrowing base under our Credit Facility.
Credit Facility — Terms and Capacity
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $280.9 million and $333.1 million, respectively, outstanding under our Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility provides for commitments for aggregate revolving loan borrowings and includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, upon the request of the OP, but at the sole discretion of the participating lenders, the commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and certain customary conditions. As of December 31, 2020, we had increased our commitments through this accordion feature by $125.0 million, bringing total aggregate commitments to $540.0 million and leaving $375.0 million of potential increase remaining.
The amount available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility is based on the lesser of (1) a percentage of the value of the pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base, and (2) a maximum amount permitted to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio with respect to the borrowing base, in each case, as of the determination date. During the Adjustment Period, (a) the value of all eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base purchased through June 30, 2020 will generally be decreased by 10%, and (b) the minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio required to be maintained by the eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base was decreased during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and will be increased during the other fiscal quarters of the Adjustment Period. As of December 31, 2020, we had a total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $406.9 million based on the value of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. Of this amount, $280.9 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 and $126.0 million remained available for future borrowings. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we repaid $25 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, which was funded with cash on hand.
53
Our Credit Facility requires payments of interest only and matures on April 26, 2022. We also have a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread ranging from 0.60% to 1.20%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable spread ranging from 1.60% to 2.20%, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. From July 24, 2020 until delivery of the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the margin will be 1.50% with respect to the Base Rate and 2.50% with respect to LIBOR regardless of our consolidated leverage ratio. The “floor” on LIBOR is 0.25%. As of December 31, 2020 we have elected to use the LIBOR rate for all our borrowings under the Credit Facility.
LIBOR Exposure
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (which regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On November 30, 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority announced a partial extension of this deadline, indicating its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023.
While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that time. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, we will either utilize the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or an alternative benchmark established by the agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, which will be SOFR if available or an alternate benchmark that is being widely used in the market at that time as selected by the agent. Please see the “Increasing interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends, and we may be adversely affected by uncertainty surrounding the LIBOR” section in Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information.
Acquisitions and Dispositions — Year Ended December 31, 2020
One of our primary uses of cash during the year ended December 31, 2020 has been to acquire properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we acquired 107 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $220.4 million, including capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisitions of 35 of these properties for $62.4 million, including capitalized acquisition costs, were completed during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2020 were funded through a combination of draws on the Credit Facility, proceeds from our Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program, the underwritten offering of our Series C Preferred Stock (discussed below) and proceeds from dispositions of properties (discussed below).
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold six properties, for an aggregate contract price of $13.3 million, excluding disposition related costs. We did not dispose of any properties during the three months ended December 31, 2020. In connection with sales made during the year ended December 31, 2020, we repaid approximately $5.6 million of mortgage debt and after all disposition related costs, net proceeds from these dispositions, classified as investing cash flows, were $6.7 million.
Acquisitions and Dispositions — Subsequent to December 31, 2020
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we did not purchased any properties. We also have entered into two definitive purchase and sale agreements (“PSAs”) to acquire three additional properties for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $4.3 million and a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire an additional five properties for approximately $34.4 million. The PSAs are subject to conditions, and the LOI is non-binding. There can be no assurance we will complete any of these acquisitions on their contemplated terms, or at all. To fund the consideration required to complete these acquisitions, we anticipate using proceeds from future dispositions of properties, proceeds from borrowings (including borrowings under our Credit Facility), remaining net proceeds from the underwritten offering of our Series C Preferred Stock (discussed below) and net proceeds received from our Class A Common Stock ATM Program, Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program, and Series C Preferred Stock ATM Program. During the Adjustment Period, (i) all properties acquired with proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Facility must be added to the borrowing base, and (ii) we are prohibited from acquiring any multi-tenant properties and from making certain other investments.
With respect to our pending acquisitions, in light of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking a prudent stance with our acquisition pipeline and are carefully determining appropriate risk adjustment capitalization rate targets for potential new acquisitions going forward.
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we sold two properties, with an aggregate contract sale price of $0.6 million.
Preferred Stock Underwritten Offering
54
On December 18, 2020, we completed the initial issuance and sale of 3,535,700 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (including 335,700 shares from the underwriters' exercise of their overallotment option to purchase additional shares) in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The offering generated gross proceeds of $88.4 million and net proceeds of $85.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount of $2.8 million and offering costs of $0.4 million paid by us. Subsequent to the offering, we used $35 million of the net proceeds to fund acquisitions with the remainder still available for future uses, which may include additional acquisitions.
ATM Programs
In May 2019, we established an “at the market” equity offering program for Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock ATM Program”), pursuant to which we may from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public up to $200.0 million in shares of Class A common stock, through sales agents. We intend to use any net proceeds from these offerings for general corporate purposes, including funding property acquisitions, repaying outstanding indebtedness (including borrowings under our Credit Facility), and for working capital. We did not sell any shares under the Class A Common Stock ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2020.
In May 2019, we established an “at the market” equity offering program for Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public up to $100.0 million in shares of Series A Preferred Stock through sales agents. In January 2021, the aggregate amount that may be sold was increased to $200.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold 924,778 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $23.3 million and net proceeds of $22.4 million, after commissions and fees paid of $0.9 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we sold 122,319 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Series A Preferred Stock ATM Program for gross proceeds of $3.0 million and net proceeds of $2.9 million after commissions and fees paid of $0.1 million.
In January, 2021 we established an “at the market” equity offering program for Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public, through sales agents, shares of the Series C Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million.
Distribution Reinvestment Program
Our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) allows stockholders who have elected to participate in the DRIP to have dividends payable with respect to all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock reinvested in additional shares of Class A common stock. Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP are, at our election, either (i) acquired directly from us, by issuing new shares, at a price based on the average of the high and low sales prices of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the date of reinvestment, or (ii) acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator at a price based on the weighted-average of the actual prices paid for all of the shares of Class A common stock purchased by the plan administrator with all participants’ reinvested dividends for the related quarter, less a per share processing fee. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, all shares acquired by participants pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP were acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator and not issued directly to stockholders by us.
Capital Expenditures and Construction in Progress
We invest in capital expenditures to enhance and maintain the value of our properties. The recent economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic could impact our decisions on the amount and timing of future capital expenditures. We define revenue enhancing capital expenditures as improvements to our properties that we believe will result in higher income generation over time. Capital expenditures for maintenance are generally necessary, non-revenue generating improvements that extend the useful life of the property and are less frequent in nature. By providing this metric, we believe we are presenting useful information for investors that can help them assess the components of our capital expenditures that are expected to either grow or maintain our current revenue. Further detail related to our capital expenditures is as follows:
| (In thousands) | Year Ended December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Capital Expenditures | ||||||||
| Revenue enhancing | $ | 7,254 | ||||||
Prairie Towne Tenant Improvements (1) | 3,111 | |||||||

(1) During the second quarter of 2020, a tenant in the health club business declared bankruptcy and vacated its space while in the process of improving the space. As a result, we wrote off this amount, representing $0.8 million already reimbursed to the tenant for these improvements, and $2.3 million in accruals to pay liens on the property by the tenant’s contractors for improvements being made by the tenant that were not paid for. For more information see Tenant Improvements Write-Off in Note 3 — Real Estate Investments to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Also, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $0.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of construction in progress which is included in the prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section discusses the non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our performance, including Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) and NOI. While NOI is a property-level measure, AFFO is based on our total performance and therefore reflects the impact of other items not specifically associated with NOI such as interest expense, general and administrative expenses and operating fees to related parties. Additionally, NOI as defined herein, does not reflect an adjustment for straight-line rent but AFFO does. A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss), is provided below. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to exclude the proportionate share of the non-controlling interest to arrive at FFO, AFFO and NOI attributable to stockholders.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a performance measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper and approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from sales of certain real estate assets, gain and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities (including our OP) and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates are made to arrive at our proportionate share of FFO attributable to our stockholders. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.
The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
In calculating AFFO, we start with FFO, then we exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider to be more reflective of investing activities, such as non-cash income and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our day to day operating business plan, such as amounts related to litigation arising out of the Merger. These amounts include legal costs incurred as a result of the litigation, portions of which have been and may in the future be reimbursed under insurance policies maintained by us. Insurance reimbursements are deducted from AFFO in the period of reimbursement. We believe that excluding the litigation costs and subsequent insurance reimbursements related to litigation arising out of the Merger helps to provide a better understanding of the operating performance of our business. Other income and expense items also include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or losses on derivative instruments and gains and losses on investments. In addition, by excluding non-cash income and expense items such as amortization of above-market and below-market leases intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent, and share-based compensation related to restricted shares and the 2018 OPP from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding those income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance.
56
In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income (loss). All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on returns to investors, but are not reflective of our on-going performance. In addition, legal fees and expense associated with COVID-19-related lease disputes involving certain tenants negatively impact our operating performance but are not reflective of our on-going performance. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income (loss). In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calculation of AFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of our operating performance. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that can be used to better assess the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance without the impact of transactions or other items that are not related to the ongoing performance of our portfolio of properties. AFFO presented by us may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs that define AFFO differently. Furthermore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, AFFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to pay dividends.
Accounting Treatment of Rent Deferrals/Abatements
The majority of the concessions granted to our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are rent deferrals or temporary rent abatements with the original lease term unchanged and collection of deferred rent deemed probable (see the “Overview - Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information). As a result of relief granted by the FASB and SEC related to lease modification accounting, rental revenue used to calculate Net Income and NAREIT FFO has not been, and we do not expect it to be, significantly impacted by these types of deferrals. In addition, since we currently believe that these deferral amounts are collectable, we have excluded from the increase in straight-line rent for AFFO purposes the amounts recognized under GAAP relating to these types of rent deferrals. Conversely, for abatements where contractual rent has been reduced, the reduction is reflected over the remaining lease term for accounting purposes but represents a permanent reduction and we have, accordingly, reduced our AFFO. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policy, including details related to the relief granted by the FASB and SEC, see Note 2 — Significant Accounting Polices to our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

__________
[1]FFO and AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes income from a lease termination fee of $7.6 million, which is recorded in Revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations. While such termination payments occur infrequently, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes and as such management believes they should be included in both FFO and AFFO, consistent with what we believe to be general industry practice.
[2]Includes primarily prepayment costs incurred in connection with early debt extinguishment as well as litigation costs related to the Merger. Litigation costs related to the Merger were previously presented in a separate line within the table above.
[3]Included in “Other income” in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
[4]Reflects legal costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to disputes with tenants due to store closures or other challenges resulting from COVID-19. The tenants involved in these disputes had not recently defaulted on their rent and, prior to the second and third quarters of 2020, had recently exhibited a pattern of regular payment. Based on the tenants involved in these matters, their history of rent payments, and the impact of the pandemic on current economic conditions, we view these costs as COVID-19-related and separable from our ordinary general and administrative expenses related to tenant defaults. We engaged counsel in connection with these issues separate and distinct from counsel we typically engage for tenant defaults. The amount reflects what the we believe to be only those incremental legal costs above what we typically incur for tenant-related dispute issues. We may continue to incur these COVID-19 related legal costs in the future.
[5]Represents the amount of deferred rent pursuant to lease negotiations which qualify for FASB relief for which rent was deferred but not reduced. These amounts are included in the straight-line rent receivable on our consolidated balance sheet but are considered to be earned revenue attributed to the current period for purposes of AFFO as they are expected to be collected. For rent abatements (including those qualified for FASB relief), where contractual rent has been reduced, the reduction is reflected over the remaining lease term for accounting purposes but represents a permanent reduction and we have, accordingly reduced our AFFO.
[6]This is a non-cash item and is added back as it is not considered a part of operating performance.
Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate. NOI is equal to total revenues, excluding contingent purchase price consideration, less property operating and maintenance expense. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income (loss).
We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to assess and compare property level performance and to make decisions concerning the operation of the properties. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and acquisition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).
58
NOI excludes certain items included in calculating net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or ability to pay dividends.

_______
[1]NOI for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes income from a lease termination fee of $7.6 million, which is recorded in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations. While such termination payments occur infrequently, they represent cash income for accounting and tax purposes.
Dividends and Distributions
During the period of January 2018 through July 2018, we paid dividends on our common stock on a monthly basis at an annualized rate equal to a rate of $1.30 per annum, per share of common stock. Since listing our Class A common stock on Nasdaq in July 2018 and through March 31, 2020, we paid dividends on our Class A common stock at an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share on a monthly basis. In March 2020, our board of directors approved a reduction in our annualized dividend to $0.85 per share, or $0.0708333 per share on a monthly basis, due to the uncertain and rapidly changing environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new dividend rate became effective beginning with our April 1 dividend declaration. Historically, and through September 30, 2020, we declared dividends based on monthly record dates and generally paid dividends, once declared, on or around the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to Class A common stock holders of record on the applicable record date. On August 27, 2020, our board of directors approved a change in our Class A common stock dividend policy. Subsequent dividends authorized by our board of directors on shares of our Class A common stock have been, and we anticipate will continue to be, paid on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to Class A common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment. This change affected the frequency of dividend payments only, and did not impact the annualized dividend rate on Class A common stock of $0.85. The amount of dividends payable on our Class A common stock to our common stock holders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our Credit Facility or other agreements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT.
Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date.
Dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first dividend for the Series C Preferred Stock will be paid on April 15, 2021 and will represent an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from December 18, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
Our Credit Facility contains provisions restricting our ability to pay distributions, including paying cash dividends on equity securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock). On November 4, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility easing these restrictions and the amendment to the Credit Facility we entered into in July 2020 also eased these restrictions during the Adjustment Period. During the Adjustment Period, (i) we are permitted to continue to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock at the current annualized per-share rates without satisfying any further tests for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, and (ii) we will generally be permitted to pay dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock and other distributions in an aggregate amount of up to 105% of annualized MFFO (as defined in the Credit Facility) for a look-back period of two consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 and a look-back period of three consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 if, as of the last day of the period, after giving effect to the payment of those dividends and distributions, we have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $125.0 million. If we do not satisfy this requirement, the applicable threshold percentage of MFFO is 95% instead of 105%. Following the Adjustment Period, we will generally be permitted to pay dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Class A common stock and other distributions for any fiscal quarter in an aggregate amount of up to 105% of annualized MFFO for a look-back period of four consecutive fiscal quarters but only if, as of the last day of the period, after giving effect to the payment of those dividends and distributions, we are able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio and maintain a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $60 million. If these conditions are not satisfied, the applicable threshold percentage of MFFO will be 95% instead of 105%. If applicable, during the continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility, we may not pay dividends or other distributions in excess of the amount necessary for us to maintain our status as a REIT.
During the Adjustment Period, we may not repurchase shares by tender offer or otherwise. Following the Adjustment Period, we will be able to make repurchases if we satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the repurchase and
60
also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40.0 million.
In November 2019 and July 2020, we entered into amendments to the Credit Facility easing the restrictions on distributions therein. There is no assurance that the lenders will consent to any additional amendments to the Credit Facility that may become necessary to maintain compliance with the Credit Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, cash used to pay dividends on our Class A common stock, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock, distributions on our LTIP Units and distributions for limited partnership units that correspond to shares of our Class A common stock was generated from cash flows provided by operations and cash on hand, which consisted of proceeds from financings and sales of real estate investments. We are required to begin paying dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock in April 2021. If we need to continue to identify financing sources other than operating cash flows to fund dividends at their current level, there can be no assurance that other sources will be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Complying with the restriction on the payment of dividends and other distributions in our Credit Facility may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and use cash that would otherwise be available to us. Funding dividends from borrowings restricts the amount we can borrow for property acquisitions and investments. Using proceeds from the sale of assets or the issuance of our Class A common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or other equity securities to fund dividends rather than invest in assets will likewise reduce the amount available to invest. Funding dividends from the sale of additional securities could also dilute our stockholders.
The following table shows the sources for the payment of dividends to common stockholders, including dividends on unvested restricted shares and other dividends and distributions for the periods indicated:

[2] As more fully discussed in Note 8 - Stockholder’s Equity and Non-controlling interests - Dividend and Distributions beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020, we changed our dividend policy from a monthly to a quarterly payment. Dividends relating to the fourth quarter of 2020 on our Class A common stock totaling $23.1 million were declared and paid in January 2021. Because these dividends were not declared prior to December 31, 2020, they are not accrued in our financial statements until 2021.
[3] Our Series C Preferred Stock was first issued in December 2020, and we are required to begin paying dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock in April 2021. The first quarterly dividend will include amounts attributable to December 2020 in addition to the amounts attributable for the quarter ending March 31, 2021. Because these dividends were not declared prior to December 31, 2020, they are not accrued in our financial statements until 2021.

Loan Obligations
The payment terms of certain of our mortgage loan obligations require principal and interest payments monthly, with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity. Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with specific reporting covenants. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the debt covenants under our loan agreements.
Contractual Obligations
The following table reflects contractual debt obligations under our mortgage notes payable based on anticipated repayment dates, as well as minimum base rental cash payments due for leasehold interests over the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2020. These minimum base rental cash payments due for leasehold interests amounts exclude contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be payable based on provisions related to increases in annual rent based on exceeding certain economic indexes among other items:

[1]The Credit Facility matures on April 26, 2022 and we have a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023.
Several of the loan agreements on our mortgage notes payable feature anticipated repayment dates in advance of the stated maturity dates. Please see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties, as well as federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Inflation
Some of our leases with our tenants contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. However, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
Please see Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured financings, bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We would not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
As of December 31, 2020, our fixed rate debt consisted of secured mortgage financings with a gross carrying value of $1.5 billion, which approximates their fair value. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impact its fair value, but it has no impact on interest expense incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed-rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our obligation to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed–rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their December 31, 2020 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $63.5 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by $67.5 million.
As of December 31, 2020, our variable-rate debt consisted of our Credit Facility and one secured mortgage, which had carrying values of $280.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively. The Credit Facility had a fair value of $278.8 million and the carrying amount of mortgage note payable approximated its fair value. Interest rate volatility associated with the Credit Facility affects interest expense incurred and cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from December 31, 2020 levels with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable rates on the Credit Facility would increase or decrease our interest expense by $3.1 million.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs, and, assuming no other changes in our capital structure. The information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2020 and does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The information required by this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference to our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation, together with other members of our management, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective December 31, 2020 at a reasonable level of assurance.
Management’s Annual Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
63
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included on page F-2 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of American Finance Trust, Inc.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Finance Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Annual Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Purchase Price Allocations for Property Acquisitions
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed real estate acquisitions with consideration paid for acquired real estate investments, net of liabilities assumed of $220.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, management allocated the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. Management utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Management estimates fair value using data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquired leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to purchase price allocations for property acquisitions is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price allocations for property acquisitions, including controls over management’s valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and controls over development of the assumptions used in the valuation of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, related to capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the purchase agreements and lease documents; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used by management in the fair value estimates; and (iii) testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including testing management’s projected cash flows and evaluating the accuracy of valuation outputs. Testing management’s process included evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methods and reasonableness of the significant assumptions, related to capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions included considering whether these assumptions were consistent with external market data, comparable transactions, and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. In conjunction with certain purchase price allocations, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of certain assumptions utilized by management, related to capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates and land values per square foot.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
Note 1 — Organization
American Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), is an externally managed real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) focusing on acquiring and managing a diversified portfolio of primarily service-oriented and traditional retail and distribution-related commercial real estate properties located primarily in the United States. The Company’s assets consist primarily of freestanding single-tenant properties that are net leased to “investment grade” and other creditworthy tenants and a portfolio of multi-tenant retail properties consisting primarily of power centers and lifestyle centers. The Company intends to focus its future acquisitions primarily on net leased, single-tenant service retail properties, defined as properties leased to tenants in the retail banking, restaurant, grocery, pharmacy, gas, convenience, fitness, and auto services sectors. As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 920 properties, comprised of 19.3 million rentable square feet, which were 93.9% leased, including 887 single-tenant, net leased commercial properties (849 of which are leased to retail tenants) and 33 multi-tenant retail properties.
Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. American Finance Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) manages the Company’s day-to-day business with the assistance of the Company’s property manager, American Finance Properties, LLC (the “Property Manager”). The Advisor and the Property Manager are under common control with AR Global Investments, LLC (“AR Global”) and these related parties receive compensation and fees for providing services to us. The Company also reimburses these entities for certain expenses they incur in providing these services to the Company.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the OP. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, and fair value measurements, as applicable.
Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic that has spread around the world and to every state in the United States commenced. The pandemic has had and could continue to have an adverse impact on economic and market conditions, including a global economic slowdown or recession. The continued rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of December 31, 2020, however uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of December 31, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The financial stability and overall health of tenants is critical to the Company’s business. The negative effects that the global pandemic has had on the economy includes the closure or reduction in activity for many retail operations such as some

of those operated by the Company’s tenants (e.g., restaurants). This has impacted the ability of some of the Company’s tenants to pay their monthly rent either temporarily or in the long-term. The Company has experienced delays in rent collections in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020. The Company has taken a proactive approach to achieve mutually agreeable solutions with its tenants and in some cases, in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, the Company has executed several types of lease amendments. These agreements include deferrals and abatements (i.e. rent credits) and also may include extensions to the term of the leases.
For accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC 842: Leases, normally a company would be required to assess a lease modification to determine if the lease modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied which would require a company to reassess the classification of the lease (including leases for which the prior classification under ASC 840 was retained as part of the election to apply the package of practical expedients allowed upon the adoption of ASC 842, which does not apply to leases subsequently modified). However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in which many leases are being modified, the FASB and SEC have provided relief that allows companies to make a policy election as to whether they treat COVID-19 related lease amendments as a provision included in the pre-concession arrangement, and therefore, not a lease modification, or to treat the lease amendment as a modification. In order to be considered COVID-19 related, cash flows must be substantially the same or less than those prior to the concession. For COVID-19 relief qualified changes, there are two methods to potentially account for such rent deferrals or abatements under the relief, (1) as if the changes were originally contemplated in the lease contract or (2) as if the deferred payments are variable lease payments contained in the lease contract. For all other lease changes that did not qualify for FASB relief, the Company would be required to apply modification accounting including assessing classification under ASC 842.
Some, but not all of the Company’s lease modifications qualify for the FASB relief. In accordance with the relief provisions, instead of treating these qualifying leases as modifications, the Company has elected to treat the modifications as if previously contained in the lease and recast rents receivable prospectively (if necessary). Under that accounting, for modifications that were deferrals only, there would be no impact on overall rental revenue and for any abatement amounts that reduced total rent to be received, the impact would be recognized ratably over the remaining life of the lease.
For leases not qualifying for this relief, the Company has applied modification accounting and determined that there were no changes in the current classification of its leases impacted by negotiations with its tenants.
In addition to the proactive measures taken on rent collections, the Company has taken additional steps to maximize its flexibility related to its liquidity and minimize the related risk during this uncertain time. In March and April 2020, consistent with the Company’s plans to acquire additional properties, the Company borrowed an additional $170.0 million and $20 million, net, respectively, under its revolving unsecured corporate credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Additionally, on March 30, 2020, the Company announced a reduction in the Company’s dividend, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, reducing the cash needed to fund dividend payments by approximately $27.2 million per year based on shares outstanding at that time. In addition, on July 24, 2020, the Company and its lenders modified the terms of its Credit Facility including, among other things, the covenants to provide more operating flexibility. In connection with the Company’s refinancing of certain mortgage debt in July 2020, the Company repaid approximately $197 million outstanding under its Credit Facility. The Company repaid an additional $25 million outstanding under its Credit Facility in December 2020 using cash on hand (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net for additional information).
However, the ultimate impact on the Company’s future results of operations, its liquidity and the ability of its tenants to continue to pay rent will depend on the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, which management is unable to predict.
Out-of-Period Adjustments
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company identified certain historical errors in its accounting for its land leases (as lessee) which impacted the previously issued quarterly and annual financial statements. Specifically, the Company did not consider whether a penalty would be considered to exist for impairment of leasehold improvements when considering whether to include certain extension options in the lease term for accounting purposes. The land leases related to property acquired between 2013 and 2017. As of December 31, 2018, the cumulative impact of using the appropriate lease term in its straight line rent expense calculations for the operating leases was an understatement of rent expense and accrued rent liability of $0.9 million. The Company concluded that the errors noted above were not material to the current period or any historical periods presented and, accordingly, the Company adjusted the amounts on a cumulative basis in the first quarter of 2019.

Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, which include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. As of December 31, 2020, these leases had an average remaining lease term of approximately 8.8 years. Because many of the Company’s leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires the Company to record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rents receivable that the Company will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. When the Company acquires a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease modification is executed. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. Pursuant to certain of the Company’s lease agreements, tenants are required to reimburse the Company for certain property operating expenses, in addition to paying base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Under ASC 842, the Company elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For comparative purposes, the Company also elected to reflect prior revenue and reimbursements reported under ASC 842 also on a single line. For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under both ASC 842 and 840, the Company has reflected them on a net basis.
The following table presents future base rent payments on a cash basis due to the Company over the next five years and thereafter. These amounts exclude tenant reimbursements and contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be collected from certain tenants based on provisions related to sales thresholds and increases in annual rent based on exceeding certain economic indexes among other items:

| 2022 | 259,400 | |||||||

| Thereafter | 1,307,238 | |||||||

The Company owns certain properties with leases that include provisions for the tenant to pay contingent rental income based on a percent of the tenant’s sales upon the achievement of certain sales thresholds or other targets which may be monthly, quarterly or annual targets. As the lessor to the aforementioned leases, the Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, until the specified target that triggered the contingent rental income is achieved, or until such sales upon which percentage rent is based are known. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, approximately $1.1 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in contingent rental income is included in revenue from tenants in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rents receivable and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under the leasing standard adopted on January 1, 2019 (see the “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” section below), the Company is required to assess, based on credit risk only, if it is probable that the Company will collect virtually all of the lease payments at lease commencement date and it must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are not permitted. If the Company determines that it’s probable it will collect virtually all of the lease payments (rent and common area maintenance), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if the Company determines it’s not probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and a full reserve would be recorded on previously accrued amounts in cases where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating revenue from tenants beginning on January 1, 2019, in accordance with new accounting rules, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable. In the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, this assessment

included consideration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ability of our tenants to pay rents in accordance with their contracts. The assessment included all of the Company’s tenants with a focus on the Company’s multi-tenant retail properties which have been more negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than the Company’s single-tenant properties.
Under ASC 842, uncollectable amounts are reflected as reductions in revenue from tenants. Under ASC 840, the Company recorded such amounts as bad debt expense as part of property operating expenses. As a result of the review and assessment as described above and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on certain of the Company’s tenants, the Company recorded a reduction in revenue from tenants of $6.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, such amounts were $2.9 million (recorded as a reduction of revenue from tenants) and $2.7 million (recorded as bad debt expense in property operating expenses), respectively.
On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement with a tenant at one of its multi-tenant properties which required the tenant to pay the Company a termination fee of $8.0 million. The Company then entered into two leases, one of which was subsequently terminated in 2020 to replace the tenant (see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments, Net — Tenant Improvement Write-Off for further details regarding this termination). As a result of the April 2019 termination, the Company recorded termination income, net, of $7.6 million during the second quarter of 2019, which is included in revenue from tenants during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. At the time an asset is acquired, the Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of the asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. See the Purchase Price Allocation section in this Note for a discussion of the initial accounting for investments in real estate.
Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018. Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. The Company evaluates probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale, and, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had one property classified as held for sale (see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments, Net for additional information).
As more fully discussed in this Note under Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ASU No. 2016-02 Leases, all of the Company’s leases as lessor prior to adoption of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019, were accounted for as operating leases and the Company continued to account for them as operating leases under the transition guidance. The Company evaluates new leases originated after the adoption date (by the Company or by a predecessor lessor/owner) pursuant to the new guidance where a lease for some or all of a building is classified by a lessor as a sales-type lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership reside with the tenant. This situation is met if, among other things, there is an automatic transfer of title during the lease, a bargain purchase option, the non-cancelable lease term is for more than major part of remaining economic useful life of the asset (e.g., equal to or greater than 75%), if the present value of the minimum lease payments represents substantially all (e.g., equal to or greater than 90%) of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception, or if the asset so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor (and therefore would not provide any future value to the lessor) after the lease term. Further, such new leases would be evaluated to consider whether they would be failed sale-leaseback transactions and accounted for as financing transactions by the lessor. During the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, the Company had no leases as a lessor that would be considered as sales-type leases or financings under sale-leaseback rules.
The Company is also the lessee under certain land leases which were previously classified prior to adoption of lease accounting and will continue to be classified as operating leases under transition elections unless subsequently modified. These leases are reflected on the balance sheet and the rent expense is reflected on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Purchase Price Allocation
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as if vacant basis. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued non-controlling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. All acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were asset acquisitions.
For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, the Company allocates the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of the Company’s pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures, and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. The Company estimates fair value using data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, fair market lease rates, discount rates, and land values per square foot.
Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquired leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from to 24 months. The Company also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The Company did not record any intangible asset amounts related to customer relationships during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Gain on Sale/Exchange of Real Estate Investments
Gains on sales of rental real estate are not considered sales to customers and are generally recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”).
In accordance with ASC 845-10, Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions, if a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance, the cost of a nonmonetary asset acquired in exchange for another nonmonetary asset is the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it, and a gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss recorded would equal the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings.
Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment
The Company had no goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and $1.6 million of goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2018. The Company is required to assess whether its goodwill is impaired, which requires the Company to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually or when other market events or circumstances occur that might indicate that goodwill is impaired. The Company performed its annual assessment in December 2018 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill. Given fluctuations in the market price of the Class A common stock, the Company performed a reassessment as of June 30, 2019, which included the assessment of relevant metrics such as estimated carrying and fair market value of the Company’s real estate and market-based factors. Based on these assessments, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. There was no goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Reportable Segment
The Company has one reportable segment, income-producing properties, which consists of activities related to investing in real estate.
Depreciation and Amortization
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the components of its real estate investments for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s results from operations because if the Company were to shorten the expected useful lives of its real estate investments, the Company would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower earnings on an annual basis.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
The value of customer relationship intangibles, if any, is amortized to expense over the initial term of the lease and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
Above and Below-Market Lease Amortization
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of revenue from tenants over the remaining terms of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from tenants over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below-market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

Upon termination of an above or below-market lease any unamortized amounts would be recognized in the period of termination.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment, any change in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
Non-controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests represent the portion of the equity in the OP that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-controlling interests are allocated a share of net income or loss based on their share of equity ownership.
Non-controlling interests resulted from the issuance of OP Units in conjunction with the merger (the “Merger”) with American Realty Capital-Retail Centers of America, Inc. (“RCA”) and were recognized at fair value as of the at the effective time of the Merger on February 16, 2017. In determining the fair value of the non-controlling interests, the Company utilized multiple sources including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms and market sales data. In addition, under the multi-year outperformance agreement with the Advisor (the “2018 OPP”), the OP issued a new class of units of limited partnership designated as LTIP Units (“LTIP Units”), which are also reflected as part of non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Please see Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity and Non-Controlling Interest and Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation for additional information on transactions that impacted the amounts recorded for non-controlling interests during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts as well as investments in highly-liquid money market funds with original maturities of three months or less and funds in overnight sweeps, in which excess funds over an established threshold are swept daily. The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (the “FDIC”) up to an insurance limit. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $102.9 million of which $101.1 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $81.9 million of which $80.0 million were in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk to amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it does not anticipate any losses as a result thereof.

Note Receivable, net, and Related Income
Included in prepaid assets and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is a note receivable, net, consisting of a loan the Company has established with an existing tenant to fund capital improvements at the applicable properties. The tenant may borrow up to $1.0 million, of which $0.2 million was drawn as of December 31, 2020. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% and matures on December 31, 2025. Interest income on the note receivable is presented within other income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Deferred costs, net consists of debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 — Credit Facility) and deferred leasing costs, net of accumulated amortization. Deferred financing costs relating to the mortgage notes payable (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net) are reflected net of the related financing on our balance sheet.
Deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Facility and the mortgage notes payable represent commitment fees, legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing. These costs are amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the financing agreement on a straight-line basis for the Credit Facility and using effective interest method over the expected term for the mortgage notes payable.
Unamortized deferred financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or paid down before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of lease commissions and payments made to execute new leases and are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock-based plan under which its directors, officers and other employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to the Company are eligible to receive awards. Awards granted thereunder are accounted for under the guidance for employee share based payments. The cost of services received in exchange for these stock awards is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and the expense for such an award is included in equity-based compensation and is recognized in accordance with the service period (i.e., vesting) required or when the requirements for exercise of the award have been met.
Effective at the listing of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Class A common stock”) on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on July 19, 2018 (the “Listing Date”), the Company entered into the 2018 OPP under which the LTIP Units were issued to the Advisor. These awards are market-based awards with a related required service period. In accordance with ASC 718, the LTIP Units were valued at their grant date and that value is reflected as a charge to earnings evenly over the service period. Further, in the event of a modification, any incremental increase in the value of the instrument measured on the date of the modification both before and after the modification, will result in an incremental amount to be reflected prospectively as a charge to earnings over the remaining service period. The expense for the LTIP Units is included in the equity-based compensation line item of the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in a manner so that it qualifies for taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurance that it will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If the Company continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on the portion of its REIT taxable income that it distributes to its stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and properties, as well as federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
The amount of dividends payable to the Company’s stockholders is determined by the board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, as

applicable, and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain the Company’s status as a REIT under the Code.
Per Share Data
Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock considers the effect of potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during such period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of January 1, 2018:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued several additional amendments thereto (collectively referred to herein as “ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, an entity is required to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASC 606 using either a modified retrospective approach, by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or a full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, primarily because the Company’s revenues are being sourced from lease arrangements that are outside the scope of ASC 606 until the new lease standard is adopted.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10), that amends the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. Among other things, it also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The Company adopted the new guidance beginning in the first quarter of 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which revises the definition of a business. This new guidance is applicable when evaluating whether an acquisition should be treated as either a business acquisition or an asset acquisition. Under the revised guidance, when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, the assets acquired would not be considered a business. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, and will apply the new rules prospectively. The Company expects, based on historical property acquisitions primarily being treated as asset acquisitions, that in most cases, a future property acquired after adoption will be treated as an asset acquisition rather than a business acquisition, which will result in the capitalization of related transaction costs. The Company has evaluated the impact of this new guidance beginning in the first quarter of 2018, and determined that it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All acquisition costs incurred during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were capitalized since our acquisitions during the years were all classified as asset acquisitions.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Assets Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which provides guidance related to partial sales of non-financial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, clarifies the definition of in substance non-financial assets, removes the exception to the financial asset derecognition model and clarifies the accounting for contributions of non-financial assets to joint ventures. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified transition method. Sales of real estate in which the Company loses its controlling interest in the real estate property will result in the full gain amount being

recognized at the time of the partial sale. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018 the Company did not retain any interest in properties in which it sold.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The update states that modification accounting should be used unless the fair value of the award, the vesting terms of the award and the classification of the award as either equity or liability, all do not change as a result of the modification. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that any future modifications to its issued share-based awards will be accounted for using modification accounting, unless the modification meets all of the exception criteria noted above. As a result, the modification would be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award, with any incremental fair value being treated as additional compensation cost.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting as an amendment and update expanding the scope of Topic 718 (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 now applies to all share-based payment transactions, even non-employee awards, in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. Under the new guidance, awards to nonemployees are measured on the grant date, rather than on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date at which the nonemployee’s performance is complete. Also, the awards would be measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued, rather than the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be measured more reliably. In addition, entities may use the expected term to measure nonemployee awards or elect to use the contractual term as the expected term, on an award-by-award basis. The new guidance was effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 on July 1, 2018 as it relates to the award made to the Advisor pursuant to the 2018 OPP (see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation for additional details).
Adopted as of January 1, 2019:
ASU No. 2016-02 — Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which provides guidance related to the accounting for leases, as well as the related disclosures. For lessors of real estate, leases are accounted for using an approach substantially the same as previous accounting guidance for operating leases and direct financing leases. For lessees, the standard requires the application of a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either operating or finance leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while lease expense for finance leases is recognized based on an effective interest method over the term of the lease. Also, lessees must recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Further, certain transactions where at inception of the lease the buyer-lessor accounted for the transaction as a purchase of real estate and a new lease, may now be required to have symmetrical accounting to the seller-lessee if the transaction was not a qualified sale-leaseback and accounted for as a financing transaction.
Upon adoption, lessors were allowed a practical expedient, which the Company has elected, by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) as a single lease component as an operating lease because: (a) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component; and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under this guidance, which is consistent with the Company’s existing policies. Also, upon adoption, companies were allowed a practical expedient package, which the Company has elected, that allowed the Company: (a) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts entered into prior to January 1, 2019 are or contain leases; (b) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019 (including assessing sale-leaseback transactions); and (c) to not reassess initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases entered into prior to January 1, 2019. As a result, all of the Company’s existing leases at the time of adoption were classified as operating leases and will continue to be classified as operating leases for their duration, unless modified. Further, any existing leases for which the property is the leased to a tenant in a transaction that at inception was a sale-leaseback transaction will continue to be treated (absent a modification) as operating leases. The Company did not have any leases that would be considered financing leases as of January 1, 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
The Company assessed the impact of adoption from both a lessor and lessee perspective, which is discussed in more detail below, and adopted the guidance prospectively on January 1, 2019, using a prospective transition approach under which the Company elected to apply the guidance effective January 1, 2019 and not adjust prior comparative reporting periods (except for the Company’s presentation of lease revenue discussed below).
Lessor Accounting
As discussed above, the Company was not required to re-assess the classification of its leases, which are considered operating leases under ASC 842. The following is a summary of the most significant impacts to the Company of the lease accounting guidance, as lessor:
•Since the Company elected the practical expedient noted above to not separate non-lease component revenue from the associated lease component, the Company has aggregated revenue from its lease components and non-lease components (tenant operating expense reimbursements) into one line. The prior period has been conformed to this new presentation.
•Changes in the Company’s assessment of receivables that result in bad debt expense is now required to be recorded as an adjustment to revenue, rather than a charge to bad debt expense. This new classification applies for the first quarter of 2019 and reclassification of prior period amounts is not permitted. At transition on January 1, 2019, after assessing its reserve balances at December 31, 2018 under the guidance, the Company wrote off accounts receivable of $0.1 million and straight-line rents receivable of $0.1 million as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit, and accordingly rent for these tenants is currently recorded on a cash basis.
•Indirect leasing costs in connection with new or extended tenant leases, if any, are being expensed. Under prior accounting guidance, the recognition would have been deferred.
Lessee Accounting
The Company is a lessee under ground leases for eight properties as of January 1, 2019. The following is a summary of the most significant impacts to the Company of the accounting guidance, as lessee:
•Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities equal to $19.3 million for the present value of the lease payments related to its ground leases. These amounts are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
•The Company also reclassified $0.3 million related to amounts previously reported as a straight-line rent liability, $1.1 million, net related to amounts previously reported as above and below market ground lease intangibles and $0.1 million of prepaid rent to the ROU assets. For additional information and disclosures related to these operating leases, see Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies.
Other Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard simplifies subsequent measurements of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, entities will perform their interim or annual goodwill impairment testing by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge based on the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss recognized should not exceed the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company adopted early this guidance in 2019 and in connection with the reassessments, goodwill was impaired during the year ended December 31, 2019.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to better align cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with the corresponding risk management activities. Among other things, the amendments expand which hedging strategies are eligible for hedge accounting, align the timing of recognition of hedge results with the earnings effect of the hedged item and allow companies to include the change in fair value of the derivative in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Additionally, for cash flow hedges that are highly effective, the update allows for all changes in fair value of the derivative to be recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019, as required under the guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method and the adoption on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
F-20
AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
Adopted as of January 1, 2020:
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the amended standard requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. On July 25, 2018, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU 2016-13 to clarify that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors (including unbilled straight-line rent) are explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-13. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amended guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Pending Adoption as of December 31, 2020:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). The new standard reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity. The standard also amends and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard allows for either modified or full retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in Topic 848 is optional and may be elected over the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to (i) the assertion that our hedged forecasted transactions remain probable and (ii) 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 our derivatives, which will be consistent with our past presentation. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable, as additional changes in the market occur.

The following table presents the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. All acquisitions in 2020, 2019 and 2018 were considered asset acquisitions for accounting purposes.

Real Estate Held for Sale
When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation and amortization of the identified assets and estimates the sales price, net of costs to sell, of those assets. If the carrying amount of the assets classified as held for sale exceeds the estimated net sales price, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the Company’s estimate of the net sales price of the assets. For additional information on impairment charges, see “Impairment Charges” section below.
As of December 31, 2020, there were no properties classified as held for sale and, as of December 31, 2019, there was one property classified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold the one property that was held for sale as of December 31, 2019. The disposal of this property did not represent a strategic shift. Accordingly, the operating results of this property remains classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
The following table details the major classes of assets associated with the properties that have been reclassified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of 44 properties, including 31 properties leased to Truist Bank, which had lease terms that expired between December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, for an aggregate contract price of $161.5 million, exclusive of closing costs. These sales resulted in aggregate gains of $31.8 million, which is reflected in gain on sale of real estate investments on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Real Estate Held for Use
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. For the Company, the most common triggering events are (i) concerns regarding the tenant (i.e., credit or expirations) in the Company’s single-tenant properties (ii) significant or sustained vacancy in the Company’s multi-tenant properties and (iii) changes to the Company’s expected holding period as a result of business decisions or non-recourse debt maturities. For all of its held for use properties, the Company had reconsidered the projected cash flows due to various performance indicators and where appropriate, and the Company evaluated the impact on its ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over the intended holding period. See “Impairment Charges” below for discussion of specific charges taken.
If a triggering event for held for use single-tenant properties is identified, the Company uses either a market approach or an income approach to estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated.
The market approach involves evaluating comparable sales of properties in the same geographic region as the held for use properties in order to determine an estimated sale price. The Company makes certain assumptions including, among others, that the properties in the comparable sales used in the analysis share similar characteristics to the held for use properties, and that market and economic conditions at the time of any potential sales of these properties, such as discount rates; demand for space; competition for tenants; changes in market rental rates; and costs to operate the property, would be similar to those in the comparable sales analyzed.
Under the income approach, the Company evaluates the impact on its ability to recover the carrying value of such properties based on the expected cash flows over its intended holding period. The Company makes certain assumptions in this approach including, among others, the market and economic conditions, expected cash flow projections, intended holding periods and assessments of terminal values.
Where more than one possible scenario exists, the Company uses a probability weighted approach. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved, and actual losses or additional impairment may be realized in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company owned six held for use properties for which the Company reconsidered their projected cash flows. One of these was a multi-tenant property which was evaluated due to a significant sustained vacancy rate as well as a change in the Company’s expected holding period. Two were single-tenant properties under a definitive purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) which did not meet the criteria for held for sale treatment as of December 31, 2020. In this instance, the Company used the proportionate contract purchase price from the PSA to estimate the future cash flows expected to be generated in the sale scenario. The Company made certain assumptions in this approach as well, mainly that the sale of these properties would close at the terms specified in the non-binding letter of intent or PSA. Three were single-tenant properties which were vacant.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company owned one held for use single-tenant net lease property leased to Truist Bank, which had lease terms that expired on December 31, 2017 and was vacant.
Impairment Charges
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, $11.5 million of which related to one of its multi-tenant held-for-use properties which was recorded to adjust the property to its fair value as determined by the income approach described above, and $1.4 million of which related to three single-tenant properties, two of which were impaired to adjust the property to their fair value as determined by the income approach described above and one of which was impaired to adjust the property to the contract price of its PSA .
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This amount is comprised of impairment charges of $0.1 million, which were recorded upon reclassification of properties to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $0.7 million, which was recorded on one held for use property leased to Truist Bank during the year ended December 31, 2019.

December 31, 2020
The Company recorded total impairment charges of $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This amount is comprised of impairment charges of $11.0 million, which were recorded upon reclassification of properties to assets held for sale to adjust the properties to their fair value less estimated cost of disposal and impairment charges of $10.1 million were recorded on 12 (including impairments of $1.7 million on nine properties leased to Truist Bank) the Company’s held for use properties. The majority of the impairment charges on the held for use properties related to two multi-tenant properties.
Tenant Improvements Write-Off
During the second quarter of 2020, a tenant in the health club business at one of the Company’s multi-tenant properties declared bankruptcy and vacated its space while in the process of improving the space. The Company had already reimbursed $0.8 million to the tenant for these improvements. As a result of the tenant’s bankruptcy, improvements being made by the tenant were not paid for and the Company additionally accrued approximately $2.3 million to pay liens on the property by the tenant’s contractors. The Company determined that certain of the improvements no longer had any value in connection with any foreseeable replacement tenant and wrote off approximately $3.1 million which is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.

[5]Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal fees and other costs associated with obtaining financing. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity. Costs incurred in seeking financial transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close.
[6]Mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.

In addition, as of December 31, 2020, $1.1 billion in real estate investments were included in the unencumbered asset pool comprising the borrowing base under the Credit Facility (see Note 5 — Credit Facility for definition). Therefore, this real estate is only available to serve as collateral or satisfy other debts and obligations if it is first removed from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility.

New Patton Creek Loan Agreement
On December 1, 2020, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, refinanced the mortgage loan with Column Financial. The loan is secured by the Company’s Patton Creek multi-tenant property in Alabama. In connection with the refinancing, the Company paid $7.3 million in cash on hand to reduce the principal balance outstanding to $34.0 million and paid for closing fees of $2.8 million. The loan bears interest at a floating interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 4.25%. The loan is interest-only with the principal due at maturity on December 6, 2021. Beginning on this initial maturity date, the floating interest rate will increase to one-month LIBOR plus 5.25% if the Company exercises its option to extend the loan past its initial maturity to December 6, 2022. In conjunction with this refinancing, the Company entered into an interest cap agreement for a notional amount of $34.0 million. The Company has elected to treat the interest rate cap as a non-designated derivative instrument, and the changes in the fair value of the cap will be accounted for as a mark-to-market adjustment in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period (see Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information).
New Sanofi Loan Agreement
On September 4, 2020, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, borrowed $125.0 million from a syndicate of regional banks led by BOK Financial. The syndicated balance sheet loan is secured by three of the Company’s single-tenant buildings located in Bridgewater, New Jersey that serve as the U.S. headquarters for Sanofi US Services Inc. At closing, all net proceeds from the loan and approximately $2.6 million in cash on hand were used to repay the previously outstanding mortgage indebtedness encumbering the property, which included a $0.5 million defeasance fee reflected in acquisition and transaction costs on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. The loan bears interest at a floating interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.9%, with the effective interest rate fixed at 3.27% by a swap agreement which was effective on October 13, 2020. The loan is interest-only with the principal due at maturity on September 4, 2025. The Company may prepay the loan in whole or in part at any time subject to applicable prepayment penalties.

In conjunction with this refinance, the Company was approached by the former owners of the Sanofi property regarding the release of a pre-acquisition escrow account of approximately $1.7 million associated with tenant improvements at the property which would not otherwise have been released until 2027. In exchange for permitting the early release of the escrow, the Company received approximately half of the balance, or $0.8 million, which is reflected in “Other Income” on our consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The Sanofi property was acquired in 2014.
Loan Agreement with Column Financial
On July 24, 2020, the Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. for a $715.0 million loan. The loan is secured by, among other things, a first mortgage on 368 single-tenant properties located in 41 states and the District of Columbia, totaling approximately 7.1 million square feet. The loan agreement permits the lender to either securitize the loan or any portion thereof or bifurcate the loan into a senior mortgage loan and a subordinate mezzanine loan.
The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.743% and matures on August 6, 2025. The loan requires payments of interest only, with the principal balance due on the maturity date. The loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, subject to payment of a yield maintenance premium for any prepayments made prior to April 6, 2025. The loan agreement also contains provisions pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions and limitations, mortgaged properties may be released or replaced and provisions related to circumstances under which all rent and other revenue received from the mortgaged properties will be directly deposited into a bank account controlled by the lender and used to pay obligations under the loan.
At closing, of the approximately $697.1 million of net proceeds from the loan after fees and expenses, $696.2 million was used to repay $499.0 million for a mortgage loan originally due September 2020 bearing an interest rate of 4.36% per annum, and the remainder was used to repay outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility.
Of the 368 single-tenant properties securing the new loan, 223 were previously held as collateral under the mortgage loan originally due September 2020, and all but one of the remaining properties were previously part of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility.
The loan is nonrecourse to the borrowers, except for certain enumerated recourse liabilities of the borrowers under the loan agreement, which the OP has guaranteed pursuant to a limited recourse guaranty in favor of the lender. The guaranty also requires the OP to maintain a minimum net worth of $1.0 billion. In addition, the OP and the borrowers have indemnified the lender, pursuant to an environmental indemnity agreement, against certain environmental liabilities.
Stop & Shop Loan
On December 18, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company entered into a loan agreement (“Stop & Shop Loan”) with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., for a principal amount of $45.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 3.445% per annum. The Stop & Shop Loan requires monthly interest-only payments, with the principal balance due on the maturity date in January 2030 and is secured by mortgage interests in four of the Company’s properties, three of which are located in the state of Massachusetts, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet. The Stop & Shop Loan permits the lender to securitize the loan or any portion thereof.
Net Lease Mortgage Notes
On May 30, 2019, subsidiaries of the Company completed the issuance of $242.0 million aggregate principal amount of Net Lease Mortgage Notes (the “Net Lease Mortgage Notes”), in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Net Lease Mortgage Notes have been issued using a master trust structure, which enables additional series of notes to be issued upon the contribution of additional properties to the collateral pool without the need to structure a new securitization transaction. Any new notes that are so issued will be cross collateralized with the current Net Lease Mortgage Notes.

December 31, 2020
The Net Lease Mortgage Notes were issued in two classes, Class A-1 (the “Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”) and Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes”). The Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated AAA (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million with an anticipated repayment date in May 2026 and an interest rate of 3.78% per annum. The Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are rated A (sf) by Standard & Poor’s and had an initial principal amount of $121.0 million with an anticipated repayment date in May 2029 and an interest rate of 4.46% per annum. The Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes require interest and principal amortization payments until the applicable anticipated repayment date. The Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes are interest-only until June 2020, when principal amortization payments are required until the applicable anticipated repayment date. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes are collectively currently amortizing at a rate of approximately 0.5% per annum. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes may be redeemed at any time prior to their anticipated repayment date subject to payment of a make-whole premium. If any class of Net Lease Mortgage Notes is not paid in full at its respective anticipated repayment date, additional interest will begin to accrue on those Net Lease Mortgage Notes. The Net Lease Mortgage Notes have a rated final payment date in May 2049.
As of December 31, 2020, the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes was comprised of 201 of the Company’s double- and triple-net leased single-tenant properties that had been transferred to the subsidiaries of the Company that issued the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, together with the related leases and certain other rights and interests. The net proceeds from the sale of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes were used to repay $204.9 million in indebtedness related to 192 of the properties then in the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, and approximately $37.1 million of the remaining net proceeds were available to the Company for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions. At closing, the Company repaid mortgage notes of $29.9 million previously secured by 39 individual properties and repaid $175.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company removed 153 of its properties from the borrowing base under the Credit Facility to serve as part of the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes in connection with this repayment and added ten recently acquired properties to the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes.
The subsidiaries of the Company may release or exchange properties from the collateral pool securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes subject to various terms and conditions, including paying any applicable make-whole premium and limiting the total value of properties released or exchanged to not more than 35% of the aggregate collateral value. These conditions, including the make-whole premium, do not apply under certain circumstances, including a prepayment in an aggregate amount of up to 35% of the initial principal balance if the prepayment is funded with proceeds from qualifying deleveraging events, such as a firm commitment underwritten registered public equity offering by the Company that generates at least $75.0 million in net proceeds, that occur following June 2021.
The Net Lease Mortgage Notes have two debt service coverage ratio tests. If the monthly debt service coverage ratio falls below 1.3x and is not cured, cash flow that would be available to pay certain subordinated expenses or be released to the Company will instead be deposited into a reserve account. If the three-month average debt service coverage ratio falls below 1.2x and is not cured, all remaining cash flow after payments of interest on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes will be applied to pay principal on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes (first on the Class A-1 Net Lease Mortgage Notes and then on the Class A-2 Net Lease Mortgage Notes).
Note 5 — Credit Facility
On April 26, 2018, the Company repaid its prior revolving unsecured corporate credit facility in full and entered into (the “Credit Facility”) with BMO Harris Bank, N.A. (“BMO Bank”) as administrative agent, Citizens Bank, N.A. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. In September 2018, the lenders under the Credit Facility increased the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility by $125.0 million, bringing total commitments to $540.0 million. On July 24, 2020, the Company, through the OP as the borrower thereunder, entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility with BMO Bank, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The amendment became effective as of April 1, 2020 and is designed to provide the Company with additional flexibility during the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021 (the “Adjustment Period”) to continue addressing the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment revises specific provisions in the Credit Facility governing: (i) the payment of dividends; (ii) leverage coverage; (iii) borrowing availability; (iv) fixed charge coverage; (v) the interest rate; and (vi) acquisitions. These revisions, which are generally incorporated into the description below, are generally only effective during the Adjustment Period, after which the previously effective terms of the Credit Facility will be reinstated.
The Credit Facility includes an uncommitted “accordion feature” whereby, upon the request of the OP, but at the sole discretion of the participating lenders, the commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased by up to an additional $500.0 million, subject to obtaining commitments from new lenders or additional commitments from participating lenders and

certain customary conditions. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had increased its commitments through this accordion feature by $125.0 million, leaving $375.0 million of potential increase remaining.
The amount available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility is based on the lesser of (i) 60% of the value of the pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base, and (ii) a maximum amount of total unsecured indebtedness that could be incurred while maintaining a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio with respect to the borrowing base, in each case, as of the determination date. During the Adjustment Period (a) the value of all eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base purchased through June 30, 2020 will generally be reduced by 10%, and (b) the minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio required to be maintained by the eligible unencumbered real estate assets comprising the borrowing base was decreased during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and will be increased during the other fiscal quarters of the Adjustment Period. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $406.9 million based on the value of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility and of this amount, $280.9 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 and $126.0 million remained available for future borrowings.
During the Adjustment Period, (i) all properties acquired with proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Facility must be added to the borrowing base, and (ii) the Company is prohibited from acquiring any multi-tenant properties and from making certain other investments. Following the amendment in July 2020, the Company is also restricted from using proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility to accumulate or maintain cash or cash equivalents in excess of amounts necessary to meet current working capital requirements, as determined in good faith by the OP.
In addition, in accordance with the Credit Facility, in order for the Company to make payments required to fund certain share repurchases, the Company would be required to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also have a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $40.0 million. During the Adjustment Period, the Company is not permitted to repurchase shares by tender offer or otherwise.
The Credit Facility requires payments of interest only. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is April 26, 2022 and the Company has a one-time right, subject to customary conditions, to extend the maturity date for an additional term of one year to April 26, 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread ranging from 0.60% to 1.20%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable spread ranging from 1.60% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Pursuant to the amendment to the Credit Facility in July 2020, from July 24, 2020 until delivery of the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the margin will be 1.5% with respect to the Base Rate and 2.5% with respect to LIBOR regardless of the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and the “floor” on LIBOR was increased from 0.00% to 0.25%. As of December 31, 2020 the Company has elected to use the LIBOR rate for all its borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Facility was 2.79% and 3.80%, respectively.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (which regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On November 30, 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority announced a partial extension of this deadline, indicating its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR may be limited or discontinued or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. The Company is monitoring and evaluating the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is limited or discontinued and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. In some instances, transitioning to an alternative rate may require negotiation with lenders and other counterparties and could present challenges. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, the Company will either utilize the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) or an alternative benchmark established by the agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, which will be SOFR if available or an alternate benchmark that is being widely used in the market at that time as selected by the agent.

The Credit Facility contains various customary operating covenants, including the restricted payments covenant described in more detail below, as well as covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of liens, investments, fundamental changes, agreements with affiliates and changes in nature of business. The Credit Facility also contains financial maintenance covenants with respect to maximum consolidated leverage, maximum consolidated secured leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, maximum other recourse debt to total asset value, and minimum net worth. During the Adjustment Period, the calculation of Total Asset Value (as defined in the Credit Facility) - which serves as the basis for the denominator used to calculate the maximum consolidated leverage, maximum consolidated secured leverage and maximum other recourse debt to total asset value financial maintenance covenants in the Credit Facility - will be adjusted such that the value ascribed to the Company’s multi-tenant properties purchased through June 30, 2020 will generally be decreased by 10.0% for the duration of the Adjustment Period. During the Adjustment Period, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial maintenance covenant in the Credit Facility will be decreased. Additionally, during the Adjustment Period, the OP must maintain, as of the end of each month starting with June 2020, a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $100.0 million.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay distributions, including cash dividends on equity securities (including the Company’s 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 7.375% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”)) in an aggregate amount exceeding 95% of MFFO (as defined in the Credit Facility) for any look-back period of four consecutive fiscal quarters without seeking consent from the lenders under the Credit Facility. On November 9, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility which permits the Company to pay distributions in an aggregate amount not exceeding 105% of MFFO for any applicable period if, as of the last day of the period, the Company is able to satisfy a maximum leverage ratio after giving effect to the payments and also has a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $60.0 million. During the Adjustment Period the Company is generally permitted to pay distributions up to 105% of annualized MFFO for a look-back period of two consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 and a look-back period of three consecutive fiscal quarters for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 if, as of the last day of the period, after giving effect to the payment of those dividends and distributions, the Company has a combination of cash, cash equivalents and amounts available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility of not less than $125.0 million. If this level of liquidity is not maintained, the applicable threshold percentage of MFFO will be 95% instead of 105%. If applicable, during the continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay dividends or other distributions in excess of the amount necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the operating and financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred sources of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with this derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivatives valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Real Estate Investments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Real Estate Investments - Held for Sale
The Company has had impaired real estate investments classified as held for sale (see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments for additional information on impairment charges recorded by the Company). There were no impaired real estate investments held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The carrying value of impaired real estate investments held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet represents their estimated fair value less cost to sell. Impaired real estate investments held for sale are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Real Estate Investments - Held for Use
The Company has had impaired real estate investments that were classified as held for use at the time of impairment (see Note 3 — Real Estate Investments for additional information on impairment charges incurred by the Company). The carrying value of these held for use impaired real estate investments on the consolidated balance sheet represents their estimated fair value at the time of impairment. The Company primarily uses a market approach to estimate future cash flows expected to be generated. Impaired real estate investments which are held for use are generally classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Financial Instruments that are not Reported at Fair Value
The carrying value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and dividends payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.
As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of advances to the Company under the Credit Facility was $278.8 million due to the widening of the credit spreads during the current period. These advances had a carrying value of $280.9 million as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the $333.1 million carrying value of advances under the Credit Facility approximated their fair value. The fair value of advances under the Credit Facility are based on estimates of market credit spreads and interest rates. This approach relies on unobservable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and the fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. The fair value of gross mortgage notes payable is based on estimates of market interest rates. This approach relies on unobservable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its related parties may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap on September 1, 2020 for a notional amount of $125.0 million, which became effective on October 13, 2020, in order to fix the interest rate on a mortgage loan that was refinanced in September 2020 (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable for additional information). The interest rate swap fixes interest on the mortgage at an effective interest rate of 3.26% and expires in July 2026. Additionally, in conjunction with the refinancing of a mortgage loan in December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a notional amount of $34.0 million. The fair value of this interest rate cap is insignificant and therefore is not shown on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable for additional information).
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020. The Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2019 due to the termination of its interest rate swaps after the repayment of certain mortgages during the third quarter of 2019 (see Note 4 — Mortgage Notes Payable, Net for additional information).

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Effective January 1, 2019 and upon adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), all of the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction impacts earnings. Prior to January 1, 2019, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives was recognized directly in earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $0.2 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings because it became probable that the hedged forecasted amounts would not occur. This acceleration resulted in a loss of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
As of December 31, 2020 the Company had the following derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Non-Designated Hedges
These derivatives are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements to be classified as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company recorded a loss on non-designated hedging relationships of $9,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company did not record any gains or losses during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 since the Company did not have any derivatives that were not designated as hedges of in qualifying hedging relationships during those years.

Common Stock
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 108.8 million and 108.5 million shares, respectively, of Class A common stock outstanding including restricted shares of Class A common stock (“restricted shares”) and excluding LTIP Units. LTIP Units may ultimately be convertible into shares of Class A common stock in the future.
Listing of the Company’s Common Stock
To address the potential for selling pressure that may have existed at the outset of listing, the Company listed only shares of its Class A common stock, which represented approximately 50% of its outstanding shares of common stock, on Nasdaq on the Listing Date. The Company’s two other classes of outstanding stock at the time of the Listing were Class B-1 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time, and Class B-2 common stock, which comprised approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at that time. In accordance with their terms, all shares of Class B-1 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on October 10, 2018 and all shares of Class B-2 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on January 9, 2019. Fractional shares of Class B-2 common stock totaling approximately 19,870 shares were repurchased at a price of $13.78 per share by the Company as a result of the automatic conversion. Each share of Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock was otherwise identical to each share of Class A common stock in all other respects, including the right to vote on matters presented to the Company’s stockholders, and shares of all different classes of common stock received the same dividends while there were different classes of common stock outstanding.
Prior to Listing, the Company published an annual estimated net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock (“Estimated Per-Share NAV”) which was the price at which the Company sold its shares under the Pre-Listing DRIP (as defined below) and repurchased shares under the SRP (as defined below). Following the Listing, the Company’s previously published Estimated Per-Share NAV was no longer applicable, and the Company no longer publishes Estimated Per-Share NAV.
Related to the Listing, the Company incurred fees of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 for financial advisory and other transaction related costs.
Corporate Actions
In order to effect the Listing described above, the Company took the following corporate actions on July 3, 2018:
•The Company effected a 2-to-1 reverse stock split combining every two shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, into one share of common stock, par value $0.02 per share, and subsequently reducing the resulting par value of the shares of common stock outstanding after the reverse stock split from $0.02 per share back to $0.01 per share. In addition, the Company changed the name of its common stock to “Class A common stock.”
•The Company reclassified a number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock equal to half of the number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding into equal numbers of shares of Class B-1 common stock and shares of Class B-2 common stock.
•The Company distributed to the holders of shares of Class A common stock a stock dividend equal to one-half share of Class B-1 common stock and one-half share of Class B-2 common stock for each share of Class A common stock outstanding.
As a result of the corporate actions described above, the number of outstanding shares in total, and on a weighted-average basis for earnings per share purposes, remained the same with the exception of any fractional shares that were repurchased or forfeited as a result of the reverse stock split.

[1]See “Corporate Actions” above for a description of the reverse stock split and classification of shares as Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock. Fractional shares of Class A common stock totaling 18,460 were repurchased by the Company as a result of the reverse stock split. In accordance with their terms, all shares of Class B-1 common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock and were listed on Nasdaq on October 10, 2018. As a result of this conversion, on October 10, 2018, all fractional shares of Class B-1 common stock totaling approximately 19,945 shares were repurchased by the Company. Amount at June 30, 2018 included 8,888 shares of common stock owned by American Finance Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”). During the second half of 2018, 4,444 shares of Class A common stock owned by the Special Limited Partner were distributed to individual members of the entity and, as a result, the Special Limited Partner owned 2,222 shares of Class A common stock and 2,222 shares of Class B-2 common stock as of December 31, 2018.
[2]The performance-based restricted, forfeitable partnership units of the OP designated as “Class B Units” (“Class B Units”) vested and were converted into an equal number of units of limited partnership designated as “Class A Units” (“Class A Units”). In addition, effective at the Listing following this conversion and as approved by the Company’s board of directors, these Class A Units were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP (see Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for additional information).
[3]Following the Listing, all of the shares of Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock owned by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Special Limited Partner) were distributed pro rata to the individual members of those entities, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer.
[4]Pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP, holders of Class A Units may redeem all or a portion of their Class A Units for, at the Company’s election, either shares of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof. 203,612 Class A Units were eligible for redemption after the Listing. On July 20, 2018, 30,691 Class A Units held by the Special Limited Partner and another affiliate of the Advisor were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the agreement of limited partnership of the OP.
[5]Fractional unvested restricted shares of common stock (“restricted shares”) held by the Company’s independent directors totaled approximately seven, and these fractional shares were forfeited in connection with the reverse stock split effected prior to the Listing. Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 127,402 restricted shares in the aggregate to members of the Company’s board of directors (see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation).
Tender Offers
On February 15, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to the Company’s stockholders to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.66 per share, the Company commenced a tender offer for up to 1,000,000 shares at a price of $14.35 per share (the “February Offer”). The Company made the February Offer in order to deter an unsolicited bidder and other potential future bidders that might have tried to exploit the illiquidity of the Company’s then unlisted common stock. In accordance with the terms of the February Offer, which expired on March 27, 2018, the Company accepted for purchase 483,716 shares for a total cost of approximately $6.9 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the February Offer.
On May 1, 2018, in response to an unsolicited offer to the Company’s stockholders to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $15.35 per share, the Company commenced a tender offer for up to 1,000,000 shares at a price of $15.45 per share (the “May Offer”). The Company made the May Offer in order to deter an unsolicited bidder and other potential future bidders that might have tried to exploit the illiquidity of the Company’s then unlisted common stock.

Terminated Share Repurchase Program
In anticipation of the Listing, the Company’s board of directors terminated the Company’s previous share repurchase program (the “SRP”) in accordance with its terms, effective June 30, 2018. The Company’s board of directors had previously authorized the Company to repurchase shares pursuant to the SRP, which permitted investors to offer to sell their shares back to the Company at a price based on the then-current Estimated Per-Share NAV after they held them for at least one year, subject to certain conditions and limitations. The Company repurchased shares on a semiannual basis, at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, with respect to each six-month period ending June 30 and December 31.
When a stockholder requested repurchases and the repurchases were approved, the Company reclassified such an obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. Shares repurchased had the status of authorized but unissued shares.
The following table summarizes the repurchases of shares under the SRP cumulatively through the SRP termination date of June 30, 2018:

At the time the SRP was terminated in anticipation of the Listing, effective June 30, 2018, we had received repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of stockholders during the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 with respect to 0.6 million shares that were therefore not repurchased.
[2]During January 2018, the Company repurchased 412,939 shares for approximately $9.7 million at a price of $23.37 per share equal to the then current Estimated Per-Share NAV.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On June 29, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had suspended the Company’s then effective distribution reinvestment plan (the “Pre-Listing DRIP”) effective June 30, 2018. As a result, all dividends paid for the month of June 2018 were paid in cash in July 2018. Prior to its suspension, the Company’s stockholders were able to elect to reinvest dividends by purchasing shares of common stock from the Company at the applicable Estimated Per-Share NAV. On the Listing Date, an amendment and restatement of the Pre-Listing DRIP approved by the Company’s board of directors became effective (as so amended and restated, the “Post-Listing DRIP”).
Commencing with the dividend paid on August 3, 2018 (the first dividend paid following the Listing Date), the Company’s stockholders that have elected to participate in the Post-Listing DRIP may have dividends payable with respect to all or a portion of their shares of the Company’s common stock (including Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock, prior to its automatic conversion in Class A common stock on October 10, 2018, and Class B-2 common stock, prior to its automatic conversion in Class A common stock on January 9, 2019) reinvested in shares of Class A common stock. Shares issued pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP represent shares that are, at the election of the Company, either (i) acquired directly from the Company, which would issue new shares, at a price based on the average of the high and low sales prices of Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the date of reinvestment, or (ii) acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator at a price based on the weighted-average of the actual prices paid for all of the shares of Class A common stock purchased by the plan administrator with all participants’ reinvested dividends for the related quarter, less a per share processing fee. During 2020, 2019 and 2018, all shares acquired by participants pursuant to the Post-Listing DRIP were acquired through open market purchases by the plan administrator and not acquired directly from the Company.

Dividends
Dividends to Common Stockholders
Year Ended December 31, 2020
In January, February and March of 2020, the Company paid dividends on its common stock to an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share on a monthly basis. In March 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction in the Company’s annualized common stock dividend to $0.85 per share, or $0.0708333 per share on a monthly basis, due to the uncertain and rapidly changing environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new common stock dividend rate became effective beginning with the Company’s April 1 dividend declaration.
Historically, and through September 30, 2020, the Company declared dividends on its common stock based on monthly record dates and generally paid dividends, once declared, on or around the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to Class A common stock holders of record on the applicable record date. On August 27, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s Class A common stock dividend policy. The Company anticipates paying future dividends authorized by its board of directors on shares of Class A common stock on a quarterly basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to Class A common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment. This change affected the frequency of dividend payments only, and did not impact the annualized dividend rate on Class A common stock of $0.85.
Year Ended December 31, 2019
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid dividends on its common stock to an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share on a monthly basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2018
In April 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a monthly dividend equivalent to $1.65 per annum, per share of common stock. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company’s board of directors authorized a decrease in the daily accrual of dividends to an annualized rate of $1.30 per annum, per share of common stock. In connection with the Listing, the Company’s board of directors changed the rate at which the Company pays dividends on its common stock to an annualized rate equal to $1.10 per share, or $0.0916667 per share on a monthly basis, effective as of July 1, 2018. Additionally, effective July 1, 2018, the Company transitioned to declaring dividends based on quarterly basis with one month in arrears using monthly, rather than

daily, record dates and generally pays dividends on or around the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to common stockholders of record on the applicable record date of such month. Prior to July 1, 2018, dividends were payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. In January 2019, the Company declared a dividend for December 2018, January 2019 and February 2019 resulting in only 11 months declared dividends during the year ended December 31, 2018. Notwithstanding the changes to the declaration dates, the Company paid 12 months of dividends during the year ended December 31, 2018. Dividend payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The Company’s board of directors may reduce the amount of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time and therefore dividends payments are not assured.
Dividends to Series A Preferred Stockholders
Dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock accrue at an amount equal to $1.875 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date.
Dividends to Series C Preferred Stockholders
Dividends on the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. The first dividend for the Series C Preferred Stock will be paid on April 15, 2021 and will represent an accrual for more than a full quarter, covering the period from December 18, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
Tax Characteristics of Dividends
The following table details from a tax perspective, the portion of common stock dividends classified as return of capital and ordinary dividend income for tax purposes, per share per annum, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. All dividends paid on the Series A Preferred Stock were considered 100% ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. As previously discussed, no dividends were paid on the Series C Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2020. The first such dividend will be paid in 2021.

Stockholder Rights Plan
In April 2020 the Company announced that its board of directors approved a short-term stockholder rights plan (the “Plan”) to protect the long-term interests of the Company. The Company adopted the Plan due to the substantial volatility in the trading of the Company’s Class A common stock that has resulted from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The adoption of the Plan is intended to allow the Company to realize the long-term value of the Company’s assets by protecting the Company from the actions of third parties that the Company’s board of directors determines are not in the best interest of the Company. By adopting the Plan, the Company believes that it has best positioned itself to navigate through this period of volatility brought on by COVID-19. The Company’s Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that any person or group (including a group of persons that are acting in concert with each other) would gain control of the Company through open market accumulation of stock by imposing significant penalties upon any person or group that acquires 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock without the approval of the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, the Company’s board of directors authorized a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Class A common stock to stockholders of record on April 23, 2020 to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock for an exercise price of $35.00 per one-thousandth of a share, once the rights become exercisable, subject to adjustment as provided in the related rights agreement. By the terms of the Plan, the rights will initially trade with Class A common stock and will generally only become exercisable on the 10th business day after the Company’s board of directors become aware that a person or entity has become the owner of 4.9% or more of the shares of Class A common stock or the commencement of a tender or exchange offer which would result in the offeror becoming an owner of 4.9% or more of

the Class A common stock. In February 2021, the expiration date of these rights was extended to April 12, 2024. See Note 15 —Subsequent Events for additional information.
Non-Controlling Interest
Non-controlling interests resulted from the issuance of OP Units in conjunction with the Merger and were recognized at fair value as of the effective time of the Merger on February 16, 2017. In addition, under the 2018 OPP, the OP issued LTIP Units, which are also reflected as part of non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 12 — Equity Based Compensation - Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement for more information regarding the LTIP Units and related accounting.

Lessee Arrangements - Ground Leases
The Company is a lessee in ground lease agreements for seven of its properties. The ground leases have lease durations, including assumed renewals, ranging from 17.0 years to 34.7 years as of December 31, 2020. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 and recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities related to these ground leases, which are classified as operating leases under the lease standard (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Polices for additional information on the impact of adopting the new standard).
As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet includes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $18.5 million and $19.2 million, respectively. In determining operating ROU assets and lease liabilities for the Company’s existing operating leases upon the adoption of the new lease guidance as well as for new operating leases in the current period, the Company estimated an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. Because the terms of the Company’s ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the Company’s estimate of this rate required significant judgment.
The Company’s operating ground leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term, including assumed renewals, of 27.9 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 7.5% as of December 31, 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid cash of $1.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities and recorded expense of $1.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, on a straight-line basis in accordance with the standard. The expenses recorded in 2019 included an out-of-period adjustment of $0.9 million (see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Polices for additional information). The lease expense is recorded in property operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company did not enter into any additional ground leases during the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters
On February 8, 2018, Carolyn St. Clair-Hibbard, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, and both individuals who previously served as the Company’s chief executive officer and chair of the board of directors (the “Former Chairmen”). On February 23, 2018, the complaint was amended to, among other things, assert some claims on the plaintiff’s own behalf and other claims on behalf of herself and other similarly situated shareholders of the Company as a class. On April 26, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 25, 2018, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges that the proxy materials used to solicit stockholder approval of the Merger at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting were materially incomplete and misleading. The complaint asserts violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act against the Company, as well as control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global, and the Former Chairmen under 20(a). It also asserts state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, and claims for aiding and abetting such breaches, of fiduciary duty against the Advisor, AR Global and the Former Chairmen. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, rescission of the Company’s advisory agreement (or severable portions thereof) which became effective when the Merger became effective, and a declaratory judgment that certain provisions of the Company’s advisory agreement are void. The Company believes the second amended complaint is without merit and intends to defend vigorously. On June 22, 2018, defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. On August 1, 2018, plaintiff filed an opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss. Defendants filed reply papers on August 22, 2018, and oral argument was held on September 26, 2018. On September 23, 2019, the Court granted defendants’ motions and dismissed the complaint with prejudice, and the plaintiff appealed. On May 5, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of the complaint.
On October 26, 2018, Terry Hibbard, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, the Former Chairmen, the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and each of the Company’s directors immediately prior to the Merger. All of the directors immediately prior to the Merger, except for David Gong, currently serve as directors of the Company. The complaint alleged that the registration statement pursuant to which RCA shareholders acquired shares of the Company during the Merger contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserted violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and each of the Company’s directors immediately prior to the Merger, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against the Company and the Company’s current chief executive officer, president and chair of the board of directors, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global and the Former Chairmen— under Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint sought unspecified damages and rescission of the Company’s sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement.
On March 6, 2019, Susan Bracken, Michael P. Miller and Jamie Beckett, purported stockholders of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, on behalf of themselves and others who purchased shares of common stock through the Company’s then effective distribution reinvestment plan, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, the Former Chairmen, the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and each of the Company’s directors immediately prior to the Merger. The complaint alleged that the April and December 2016 registration statements pursuant to which class members purchased shares contained materially incomplete and misleading information. The complaint asserted violations of Section 11 of the Securities Act against the Company, the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and each of the Company’s directors immediately prior to the Merger, violations of Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act against the Company and the Company’s current chief executive officer, president and chair of the board of directors, and control person liability against the Advisor, AR Global and the Former Chairmen under Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint sought unspecified damages and either rescission of the Company’s sale of stock or rescissory damages.
On April 30, 2019, Lynda Callaway, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative class action complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, against the Company, AR Global, the Advisor, the Former Chairmen, the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Merger and each of the Company’s directors immediately prior to the Merger. The complaint alleged that the registration statement pursuant to which plaintiff and other class members acquired shares of the Company during the Merger contained materially incomplete and misleading information.

control person liability under Section 15 of the Securities Act against the Advisor, AR Global, and the Former Chairmen. The complaint sought unspecified damages and rescission of the Company’s sale of stock pursuant to the registration statement.
On July 11, 2019, the New York State Supreme Court issued an order consolidating the three above-mentioned cases: Terry Hibbard, Bracken, and Callaway (the “Consolidated Cases”). The Court also stayed the Consolidated Cases pending a decision on the motions to dismiss in the St. Clair-Hibbard litigation pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Following the federal court’s decision on St. Clair-Hibbard the motions to dismiss, on October 31, 2019 plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated class action complaint in the Consolidated Cases seeking substantially similar remedies from the same defendants. The Company moved to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on December 16, 2019. After the parties completed briefing on this motion, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its decision affirming dismissal of the St. Clair-Hibbard action. Plaintiffs moved to amend their complaint, purportedly to limit it to claims still viable in spite of the results of the federal action. The proposed second amended complaint no longer contains direct claims against the Company. Instead, plaintiffs seek to pursue state law claims derivatively against the Advisor, AR Global, the Company’s initial chief executive officer and chair of the board of directors, the Company’s current directors and David Gong, a former director, with the Company as a nominal defendant. Plaintiffs’ motion to amend has been fully briefed, and oral argument was held in November 2020. The parties are now awaiting a decision from the Court. The Company believes that the proposed second amended complaint is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. Due to the early stage of the litigation, no estimate of a probable loss or any reasonably possible losses are determinable at this time.
There are no other material legal or regulatory proceedings pending or known to be contemplated against the Company.
During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred legal costs related to the above litigation of approximately $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. A portion of these litigation costs are subject to a claim for reimbursement under the insurance policies maintained by the Company (“the Policies”), and during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, reimbursements of $9,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, were received and recorded in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company may receive additional reimbursements in the future. However, the Policies are subject to other claims that have priority over the Company’s claim for reimbursement, and the Company therefore does not believe it is likely to recover any additional reimbursements.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company maintains environmental insurance for its properties that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Summary of Advisory Agreement
The initial term of the Advisory Agreement expires on April 29, 2035. This term is automatically renewed for successive 20-year terms upon expiration unless the Advisory Agreement is terminated (1) in accordance with an Internalization, (2) by the Company or the Advisor with cause, without penalty, with 60 days’ notice, (3) by the Advisor for (a) a failure to obtain a satisfactory agreement for any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform obligations under the Advisory Agreement or (b) any material breach of the Advisory Agreement of any nature whatsoever by the Company, or (4) by the Advisor in connection with a change of control of the Company. Upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Company all amounts due to the Advisor, as well as the then-present fair market value of the Advisor’s interest in the Company.
The Advisory Agreement grants the Company the right to internalize the services provided under the Advisory Agreement (“Internalization”) and to terminate the Advisory Agreement pursuant to a notice received by the Advisor as long as (i) more than 67% of the Company’s independent directors have approved the Internalization; and (ii) the Company pays the Advisor an Internalization fee equal to (1) $15.0 million plus (2) either (x) if the Internalization occurs on or before December 31, 2028, the Subject Fees (defined below) multiplied by 4.5, or (y) if the Internalization occurs on or after January 1, 2029, the Subject Fees multiplied by 3.5 plus (3) 1.0% multiplied by (x) the purchase price of properties or other investments acquired after the end of the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor and prior to the Internalization and (y) without duplication, the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by the Company during the period following the end of

the fiscal quarter in which notice is received and the Internalization. The “Subject Fees” are equal to (i) the product of four multiplied by the sum of (A) the actual base management fee (including both the fixed and variable portion thereof) plus (B) the actual variable management fee, in each of clauses (A) and (B), payable for the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor, plus, (ii) without duplication, the annual increase in the base management fee resulting from the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised in respect of the fiscal quarter in which the notice of Internalization is received by the Advisor. Up to 10% of the Internalization fee may be payable in shares of Class A common stock subject to certain conditions.
2019 Advisory Agreement Amendment
On March 18, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No.2 to the Advisory Agreement, by and among the OP and the Advisor. Amendment No.2 revised the section of the Advisory Agreement specifically related to reimbursable administrative service expenses, including reasonable salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, including those of certain executive officers of the Company. See the “Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements” section below for details.
2020 Advisory Agreement Amendments
On March 30, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No.3 to the Advisory Agreement, by and among the OP and the Advisor. Amendment No.3 revised the section of the Advisory Agreement to temporarily lower the quarterly thresholds of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) the Company must reach on a quarterly basis for the Advisor to receive the Variable Management Fee (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). On January 13, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Advisory Agreement to extend the expiration of these thresholds to the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021. For additional information, see the “Asset Management Fees and Variable Management/Incentive Fees” section below and Note 15 — Subsequent Events.
In-Sourced Expenses
The Advisor has been and may continue to be reimbursed for costs it incurs in providing investment-related services, or “insourced expenses.” These insourced expenses may not exceed 0.5% of the contract purchase price of each acquired property or 0.5% of the amount advanced for a loan or other investment. Additionally, the Company has paid and may continue to pay third party acquisition expenses. The aggregate amount of acquisition expenses, including insourced expenses, may not exceed 4.5% of the contract purchase price of the Company’s portfolio or 4.5% of the amount advanced for all loans or other investments and this threshold has not been exceeded through December 31, 2020.
The Company incurred $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million of acquisition expenses and related cost reimbursements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Asset Management Fees and Variable Management/Incentive Fees
The Company pays the Advisor a fixed base management fee and a variable base management fee. Under the Advisory Agreement, the fixed portion of the base management fee increased from $18.0 million annually to (i) $21.0 million annually for the period from February 16, 2017 until February 16, 2018; (ii) $22.5 million annually for the period from February 17, 2018 until February 16, 2019; and (iii) $24.0 million annually for the remainder of the term. If the Company acquires (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) any other REIT, that is advised by an entity that is wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by AR Global, other than any joint venture, (a “Specified Transaction”), the fixed portion of the base management fee will be increased by an amount equal to the consideration paid for the acquired company’s equity multiplied by 0.0031 for the first year following the Specified Transaction, 0.0047 for the second year and 0.0062 thereafter. The variable portion of the base management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 1.25% of the cumulative net proceeds of any equity raised by the Company and its subsidiaries from and after the initial effective date of the Advisory Agreement on February 16, 2017. Base management fees, including the variable portion, are included in asset management fees to related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company incurred $27.8 million, $25.7 million and $23.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in base management fees (including both the fixed and variable portion).
In addition, under the Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay the Advisor a variable management fee. Prior to the Listing Date, the amount that was required to be paid was equal to the product of (1) the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding multiplied by (2) (x) 15.0% of the applicable quarter’s Core Earnings per share in excess of $0.375 per share plus (y) 10.0% of the applicable quarter’s Core Earnings per share in excess of $0.50 per share, in each case as adjusted for changes in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. On the Listing Date, the Company entered into an amendment
F-44
AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
to the Advisory Agreement (the “Listing Amendment”) which lowered the quarterly thresholds of Core Earnings per share the Company must reach in a particular quarter for the Advisor to receive a variable management fee from $0.375 and $0.50 to $0.275 and $0.3125. The definition of Adjusted Outstanding Shares (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), which is used to calculate Core Earnings per share, is based on the Company’s reported diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. In accordance with Amendment No. 3 to the Advisory Agreement entered into March 30, 2020, for the quarters ending June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the low and high thresholds were reduced from $0.275 and $0.3125, respectively, to $0.23 and $0.27, respectively. On January 13, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Advisory Agreement to extend the expiration of these thresholds from the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 to the end of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 in light of the continued economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Core Earnings is defined as, for the applicable period, net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP excluding non-cash equity compensation expense, the variable management fee, acquisition and transaction related fees and expenses, financing related fees and expenses, depreciation and amortization, realized gains and losses on the sale of assets, any unrealized gains or losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income or loss for the applicable period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive loss, or in net income, one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, impairment losses on real estate related investments and other than temporary impairments of securities, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of tenant inducements, amortization of straight-line rent, amortization of market lease intangibles, provision for loss loans, and other non-recurring revenue and expenses (in each case after discussions between the Advisor and the independent directors and the approval of a majority of the independent directors). The variable management fee is payable to the Advisor or its assignees in cash or shares, or a combination of both, the form of payment to be determined in the sole discretion of the Advisor and the value of any share to be determined by the Advisor acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it considers, in its reasonable judgment, appropriate. The Company recorded $0.1 million in variable management fees during the year ended December 31, 2020 and recorded $0.1 million in variable management fees during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company did not incur any variable management fees during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Prior to the Listing, in aggregate, the Company’s board of directors had approved and the OP had issued 1,052,420 Class B Units to the Advisor. Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of the OP (the “A&R OP Agreement”), the Advisor was entitled to receive distributions on unvested Class B Units equal to the dividend amount received on the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B Units were included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of the Listing and the prior determination by the Company’s board of directors that the applicable conditions under the A&R OP Agreement had been satisfied, the Class B Units vested in accordance with their terms. The Class B Units were converted into an equal number of Class A Units. In addition, effective at the Listing following this conversion and as approved by the Company’s board of directors, these Class A Units were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with the redemption provisions contained in the Second A&R OP Agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of approximately $15.8 million, which is recorded in vesting and conversion of Class B Units in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Property Management Fees
The Company has a property management agreement (the “Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement”), a leasing agreement (the “Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement”) and a net lease property management and leasing agreement (the “Net Lease Property Management Agreement”) with the Property Manager. The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement, the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement and the Net Lease Property Management Agreement each became effective on February 16, 2017. In connection with the issuance of the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, subsidiaries of the Company have entered into the Property Management and Servicing Agreement, dated May 30, 2019 (the “ABS Property Management Agreement”), with the Property Manager, KeyBank, as back-up property manager, and Citibank, N.A. as indenture trustee.
The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement provides that, unless a property is subject to a separate property management agreement with the Property Manager, the Property Manager is the sole and exclusive property manager for the Company’s multi-tenant properties, which are generally retail properties, such as power centers and lifestyle centers. In December 2017, in connection with a $210.0 million mortgage loan secured by 12 of the Company’s retail properties, the Company entered into 12 identical property management agreements with the Property Manager, the substantive terms of which are substantially identical to the terms of the Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement, except they do not provide for the transition fees described below.
F-45
AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
The Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement entitles the Property Manager to a management fee equal to 4% of the gross rental receipts from the multi-tenant properties, including common area maintenance reimbursements, tax and insurance reimbursements, percentage rental payments, utility reimbursements, late fees, vending machine collections, service charges, rental interruption insurance, and a 15% administrative charge for common area expenses.
In addition, the Property Manager is entitled to a one time transition fee of up to $2,500 for each multi-tenant property managed, a construction fee equal to 6% of construction costs incurred, if any, and reimbursement of all expenses specifically related to the operation of a multi-tenant property, including compensation and benefits of property management, accounting, lease administration, executive and supervisory personnel of the Property Manager, and excluding expenses of the Property Manager’s corporate and general management office and excluding compensation and other expenses applicable to time spent on matters other than the multi-tenant properties.
Pursuant to the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement, the Company may, under certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, pay the Property Manager a leasing fee for services in leasing multi-tenant properties to third parties.
The Company’s double- and triple-net leased single- tenant properties are managed by the Property Manager pursuant to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement, unless they are subject to a separate agreement with the Property Manager. The Net Lease Property Management Agreement permits the Property Manager to subcontract its duties to third parties and provides that the Company is responsible for all costs and expenses of managing the properties, except for general overhead and administrative expenses of the Property Manager. In December 2019, in connection with a loan secured by four properties leased to Stop & Shop, the Company entered into a property management and leasing agreement with the Property Manager with respect to the four properties, the substantive terms of which are substantially identical to the terms of the Net Lease Property Management Agreement, except that it limits the fees payable to the Property Manager and any subcontractor to 3.0% of operating income in the event that the Property Manager subcontracts its duties under the agreement.
In July 2020, in connection with the loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc., all but one of the Company’s borrower subsidiaries entered into a new property management and leasing agreement with the Property Manager with respect to all but one of the mortgaged properties, all of which are double- and triple-net leased single-tenant properties. The Company’s other double- and triple-net leased single-tenant properties, including the one mortgaged property excluded from the new property management and leasing agreement, are managed by the Property Manager pursuant to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement. The new property management and leasing agreement is identical to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement, except that the new property management and leasing agreement does not permit the Property Manager to subcontract its duties to third parties.
The current term of the Net Lease Property Management Agreement ends on October 1, 2021, and is automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless terminated 60 days prior to the end of a term or terminated for cause. On November 4, 2020, in light of the investment to be made by the Property Manager and its affiliates in property management infrastructure for the benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company amended each of the Multi-Tenant Property Management Agreement and the Multi-Tenant Leasing Agreement to reflect that each agreement will expire on the later of (i) November 4, 2025 and (ii) the termination date of the Advisory Agreement. These agreements with the Property Manager may only be terminated for cause prior to the end of the term. Prior to the amendments, the term of these agreements would have ended on October 1, 2021, with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms unless terminated 60 days prior to the end of a term or terminated for cause.
Property Management and Services Agreement - Net Lease Mortgage Notes
Under the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager is responsible for servicing and administering the properties and leases securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes under ordinary and special circumstances, and KeyBank, as the back-up property manager, is responsible for, among other things, maintaining current servicing records and systems for the assets securing the Net Lease Mortgage Notes in order to enable it to assume the responsibilities of the Property Manager in the event the Property Manager is no longer the property manager and special servicer. Pursuant to the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager may also be required to advance principal and interest payments on the Net Lease Mortgage Notes to preserve and protect the value of the applicable assets. The Company’s subsidiaries are required to reimburse any of these payments or advances.
Pursuant to the ABS Property Management Agreement, subsidiaries of the Company are required to pay the Property Manager a monthly fee equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.25%, and (ii) the aggregate allocated loan amounts of all the properties that serve as part of the collateral for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes, except for specially serviced properties. With respect to the specially serviced properties, the Property Manager is entitled to receive a workout fee or liquidation fee under
F-46
AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
certain circumstances based on 0.50% of applicable amounts recovered, as well as a monthly fee equal to the product of (i) one-twelfth of 0.75%, and (ii) the aggregate allocated loan amounts of all the specially serviced properties that serve as part of the collateral pool for the Net Lease Mortgage Notes. The Property Manager has retained KeyBank as a sub-manager pursuant to a separate sub-management agreement pursuant to which KeyBank provides certain services the Property Manager is required to provide as property manager under the ABS Property Management Agreement. Under the ABS Property Management Agreement, the Property Manager has agreed to waive (i) the portion of the monthly fee related to the properties that are not specially serviced that is in excess of the amount to be paid to KeyBank as sub-manager pursuant to the sub-management agreement, (ii) the workout fee, (iii) the liquidation fee and (iv) the monthly fee related to the properties that are specially serviced, although the Property Manager retains the right to revoke these waivers at any time. The Property Manager is also entitled to receive additional servicing compensation related to certain fees and penalties under the leases it is responsible for under the ABS Property Management Agreement.
The services provided by the Property Manager with respect to the double- and triple-net leased single-tenant properties in the collateral pool and related property management fees are separate and independent from the property management services the Property Manager has provided and will continue to provide with respect to those properties pursuant to the Net Lease Property Management Agreement.
Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements
The Company reimburses the Advisor’s costs of providing administrative services, including among other things, reasonable allocation of salaries and wages, benefits and overhead of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, except for costs to the extent that the employees perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee. The reimbursement includes reasonable overhead expenses, including the reimbursement of an allocated portion of rent expense at certain properties that are both occupied by employees of the Advisor or its affiliates and owned by affiliates of the Advisor. These reimbursements are exclusive of fees and other expense reimbursements incurred from and due to the Advisor that were passed through and ultimately paid to Lincoln Retail REIT Services, LLC (“Lincoln”) as a result of the Advisor’s prior arrangements with Lincoln to provide services to the Advisor in connection with the Company’s multi-tenant retail properties that are not net leased. The Advisor’s agreement with Lincoln expired in February 2021 and was not renewed. The expiration of the agreement with Lincoln did not affect the responsibilities and obligations of the Advisor or the Property Manager to the Company under the Company’s agreements with them.
These reimbursements are included in Professional fees and other reimbursements in the table below and in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $7.5 million (net of the $1.4 million change in estimate for the 2019 bonus awards, discussed below), $9.8 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of reimbursement expenses from the Advisor for providing administrative services.
Prior to Amendment No. 2, the Company had not reimbursed the Advisor or its affiliates, including the Property Manager, for salaries, wages, or benefits paid to the Company’s executive officers. Starting in 2019, under Amendment No. 2, the Company began to reimburse the Advisor for a portion of the salary, wages, and benefits paid to the Company’s chief financial officer as part of the aggregate reimbursement for salaries, wages and benefits of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, excluding any executive officer who is also a partner, member or equity owner of AR Global and subject to a limit on certain limitations.
Beginning in 2019, under Amendment No. 2, the aggregate amount that may be reimbursed in each fiscal year for salaries, wages and benefits (excluding overhead) of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates (the “Capped Reimbursement Amount”) for each fiscal year is subject to a limit that is equal to the greater of: (a) (the “Fixed Component”); and a (b) variable component (the “Variable Component”).
Both the Fixed Component and the Variable Component increase by an annual cost of living adjustment equal to the greater of (x) 3.0% and (y) the CPI, as defined in the amendment for the prior year ended December 31. Initially, for the year ended December 31, 2019: (a) the Fixed Component was equal to $7.0 million; and (b) the Variable Component was equal to: (i) the sum of the total real estate investments, at cost as recorded on the balance sheet dated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (the “Real Estate Cost”) in the year divided by four, which amount is then (ii) multiplied by 0.20%.

AMERICAN FINANCE TRUST, INC.

December 31, 2020
If the Company sells real estate investments aggregating an amount equal to or more than 25% of Real Estate Cost in one or a series of related dispositions in which the proceeds of the disposition(s) are not reinvested in Investments (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), then within 12 months following the disposition(s), the advisory agreement requires the Advisor and the Company to negotiate in good faith to reset the Fixed Component; provided that if the proceeds of the disposition(s) are paid to shareholders of the Company as a special distribution or used to repay loans with no intent of subsequently re-financing and re-investing the proceeds thereof in Investments, the advisory agreement requires these negotiations within 90 days thereof, in each case taking into account reasonable projections of reimbursable costs in light of the Company’s reduced assets.
For both the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of reimbursements by the Company to the Advisor for salaries, wages and benefits that were subject to the Capped Reimbursement Amount was approximately $7.2 million, which was less than the approximately $8.1 million Variable Component of the Capped Reimbursement Amount.
As part of this reimbursement, the Company paid approximately $2.7 million in 2019 to the Advisor or its affiliates as reimbursement for bonuses of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who provided administrative services during such calendar year, prorated for the time spent working on matters relating to the Company. The Company does not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for any bonus amounts relating to time dedicated to the Company by Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Advisor formally awarded 2019 bonuses to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates in September 2020 (the “2019 Bonus Awards”), which were comprised of cash and restricted shares (for additional information on the restricted shares issued to these employees, see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation). The original $2.7 million estimate for bonuses recorded and paid to the Advisor in 2019 exceeded the cash portion of the 2019 Bonus Awards to be paid to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates by $1.4 million and to be reimbursed by the Company. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a receivable from the Advisor of $1.4 million in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding reduction in general and administrative expenses. Pursuant to authorization by the independent members of the Company’s board of directors, the $1.4 million receivable is payable to the Company over a 10-month period from January 2021 through October 2021.
Reimbursements for the cash portion of 2020 bonuses to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates continue to be expensed and reimbursed on a monthly basis during 2020 in accordance with the cash bonus estimates provided by the Advisor. Generally, prior to the 2019 Bonus Awards, employee bonuses have been formally awarded to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates in March as an all-cash award and paid out by the Advisor in the year subsequent to the year in which services were rendered to the Company.

Listing Arrangements
Fees Incurred in Connection with a Listing
Pursuant to the A&R OP Agreement, in connection with the Listing, the OP was obligated to distribute to the Special Limited Partner a promissory note in an aggregate amount (the “Listing Amount”) equal to 15.0% of the difference (to the extent the result is a positive number) between:
•the sum of (i) the “Market Value” (as defined in the A&R OP Agreement) of the Company’s common stock plus (ii) the sum of all distributions or dividends (from any source) paid by the Company to its stockholders prior to the Listing; and
•the sum of (i) the gross proceeds (“Gross Proceeds”) of all public and private offerings, including issuance of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a merger (including the Merger) or business combination (an “Offering”) as of the Listing Date plus (ii) the total amount of cash that, if distributed to those stockholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock in an Offering prior to the Listing, would have provided those stockholders a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded, pre-tax annual return (based on a 365-day year) on the Gross Proceeds.
Effective at the Listing, the OP entered into a listing note agreement with respect to this obligation (the “Listing Note”) with the Special Limited Partner and entered into a related subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the administrative agent under the Credit Facility, BMO Bank. The Listing Note evidenced the OP’s obligation to distribute to the Special Limited Partner the Listing Amount. The measurement period used to calculate the average Market Value of the Company’s common stock was from July 8, 2019 to August 16, 2019, the 30 consecutive trading days commencing on the 180th day following the date on which shares of Class B-2 common stock converted into shares of Class A common stock. Based on the actual Market Value during the measurement period, the Listing Amount was zero, and the Company has no distribution obligation to the Special Limited Partner related to the Listing Note. The final fair value of the Listing Note is zero, the same fair value the Listing Note had at issuance. The fair value at issuance was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, which used a combination of observable and unobservable inputs.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On the Listing Date, the Company granted a performance-based equity award to the Advisor in the form of a Master LTIP Unit (the “Master LTIP Unit”) pursuant to the 2018 OPP which, together with the Second A&R OP Agreement, superseded in all respects the general terms of the multi-year outperformance agreement and the amendment and restatement of the limited partnership agreement of the OP previously approved by the Company’s board of directors in April 2015 to be effective upon a listing of the Company’s common stock. On August 30, 2018, the Master LTIP Units automatically converted into 4,496,796 LTIP Units in accordance with its terms. For additional information on the 2018 OPP, see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation.
Class A Unit Redemptions
Holders of Class A Units have the right to redeem their Class A Units for the cash value of a corresponding number of shares of Class A common stock, or at the option of the OP, a corresponding number of shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the Second A&R OP Agreement. Holders of OP Units had similar rights under the prior A&R OP Agreement. The remaining rights of the limited partner interests are limited, however, and do not include the ability to replace the general partner or to approve the sale, purchase or refinancing of the OP’s assets.
Subsequent to the Listing, all of the Class A Units held by the Advisor and its affiliates were redeemed for shares of Class A common stock and all of the shares of Class A common stock, Class B-1 common stock and Class B-2 common stock owned

by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Special Limited Partner) were distributed pro rata to the individual members of those entities, including Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer. See Note 8 — Stockholders’ Equity and Non-Controlling Interest for additional information regarding these transactions.
Note 11 — Economic Dependency
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage the Advisor, its affiliates and entities under common control with the Advisor to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting and legal services, human resources and information technology.
As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon the Advisor and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company will be required to find alternative providers of these services.
Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation
Equity Plans
2018 Equity Plan
Effective at the Listing, the Company’s board of directors adopted an equity plan for the Advisor (the “Advisor Plan”) and an equity plan for individuals (the “Individual Plan” and together with the Advisor Plan, the “2018 Equity Plan”). The Advisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Under the Individual Plan, the Company may only make awards to its directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company. By contrast, under the Advisor Plan the Company may only make awards to the Advisor.
The 2018 Equity Plan succeeded and replaced the existing employee and director restricted share plan (the “RSP”). Following the effectiveness of the 2018 Equity Plan at the Listing, no further awards issued under the RSP; provided, however, that any outstanding awards under the RSP, such as unvested restricted shares held by the Company’s independent directors, remained outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the RSP until all those awards are vested, forfeited, canceled, expired or otherwise terminated in accordance with their terms. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. The 2018 Equity Plan permits awards of restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, LTIP Units and other equity awards. The 2018 Equity Plan has a term of 10 years, expiring on July 19 2028. Identical to the RSP, the number of shares of the Company’s capital stock available for awards under the 2018 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 10.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa. If any awards granted under the 2018 Equity Plan are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares is again available for purposes of granting awards under the 2018 Equity Plan.
Restricted Shares
Restricted shares are shares of common stock awarded under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. Holders of restricted shares may receive non-forfeitable cash dividends prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed. Any dividends to holders of restricted shares payable in shares of common stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares. Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested.
Prior to June 30, 2020, the Company only granted restricted shares to the Company’s directors. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 52,468 restricted shares to the Company’s directors. In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company granted 309,475 restricted shares to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates who are involved in providing services to the Company, including the Company’s chief financial officer. The restricted shares were formally issued in October 2020 at the time the related award agreements were executed. The award to the Company’s chief financial officer was recommended by the Advisor and approved by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. The awards to other employees were made pursuant to authority delegated by the compensation committee to Edward M. Weil, Jr., the Company’s chief executive officer, president and chairman. Following the grant of these awards, there remained an additional 40,525 restricted shares that may be awarded in the future pursuant to the delegation of authority to Mr. Weil. No awards may be made to anyone who is also a partner, member or equity owner of the parent of the Advisor.

The restricted shares granted to the Company’s directors vest on a straight-line basis over periods of 1 year to 5 years from the date of grant and provide for accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient’s termination of his or her position as a director of the Company due to a voluntary resignation or failure to be re-elected to the Company’s board of directors following nomination therefor. All unvested restricted shares held by the Company’s directors also vest in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the RSP or the Individual Plan) or a termination of a directorship without cause or as a result of death or disability.
The restricted shares granted to employees of the Advisor or its affiliates vest in 25% increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Except in connection with a change in control (as defined in the award agreement) of the Company, any unvested restricted shares will be forfeited if the holder’s employment with the Advisor terminates for any reason. Upon a change in control of the Company, 50% of the unvested restricted shares will immediately vest and the remaining unvested restricted shares will be forfeited.
The following table reflects the number of restricted shares granted, vested, or forfeited for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.
The fair value of the restricted shares is being expensed in accordance with the service period required. Compensation expense related to restricted shares was approximately $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted shares is included in general and administrative expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Restricted Stock Units
RSUs represent a contingent right to receive shares of common stock at a future settlement date, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions, as set forth in the RSP and an award agreement evidencing the grant of RSUs. RSUs may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the rights to the shares of common stock have vested. Holders of RSUs do not have or receive any voting rights with respect to the RSUs or any shares underlying any award of RSUs, but such holders are generally credited with dividend or other distribution equivalents which are subject to the same vesting conditions and other restrictions as the underlying RSUs and only paid at the time such RSUs are settled in shares of common stock. The Company has not granted any RSUs, and no unvested RSUs were outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
On the Listing Date, the Company granted a performance-based equity award to the Advisor in the form of a Master LTIP Unit pursuant to the 2018 OPP. The Master LTIP Unit was automatically converted on August 30, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the 30th trading day following the Listing Date, into 4,496,796 LTIP Units equal to the quotient of $72.0 million divided by

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2020
$16.0114, the ten-day trailing average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq over the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Initial Share Price”). The Effective Date was the grant date for accounting purposes. In accordance with accounting rules, the total fair value of the LTIP Units of $32.0 million was calculated and fixed as of the grant date, and is being recorded over the requisite service period of three years. In March 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2018 OPP to reflect a change in the peer group resulting from the merger of one member of the peer group, Select Income REIT, with Government Properties Income Trust, with the entity surviving the merger renamed as Office Properties Income Trust. Under the accounting rules, the Company was required to calculate any excess of the new value of LTIP Units in accordance with the provisions of the amendment ($10.9 million) over the fair value immediately prior to the amendment ($8.1 million). This excess of approximately $2.8 million is being expensed over the period from March 4, 2019, the date the Company’s compensation committee approved the amendment, through August 30, 2021.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the LTIP Units of $11.9 million and $11.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which is recorded in equity-based compensation in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $6.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the LTIP Units which is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.5 years.
LTIP Units represent the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned by the Advisor during a performance period commencing on July 19, 2018 and ending on the earliest of (i) July 19, 2021, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as advisor of the Company (the “Performance Period”).
Half of the LTIP Units (the “Absolute TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the last day of the Performance Period (the “Valuation Date”) if the Company achieves an absolute total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the Performance Period as follows:
| Performance Level | Absolute TSR | Percentage of LTIP Units Earned | ||||||||||||||||||
| Below Threshold | Less than | 24 | % | — | % | |||||||||||||||
| Threshold | 24 | % | 25 | % | ||||||||||||||||
| Target | 30 | % | 50 | % | ||||||||||||||||
| Maximum | 36 | % | or higher | 100 | % | |||||||||||||||
If the Company’s absolute TSR is more than 24% but less than 30%, or more than 30% but less than 36%, the percentage of the Absolute TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Half of the LTIP Units (the “Relative TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the Valuation Date if the amount, expressed in terms of basis points, whether positive or negative, by which the Company’s absolute TSR for the Performance Period exceeds the average TSR of a peer group for the Performance Period consisting of Colony Capital, Inc., Lexington Realty Trust, RPT Realty (formerly known as Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust), Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. and Office Properties Income Trust as follows:
| Performance Level | Relative TSR Excess | Percentage of Relative TSR LTIP Units Earned | ||||||||||||||||||
| Below Threshold | Less than | -600 | basis points | — | % | |||||||||||||||
| Threshold | -600 | basis points | 25 | % | ||||||||||||||||
| Target | — | basis points | 50 | % | ||||||||||||||||
| Maximum | +600 | basis points | 100 | % | ||||||||||||||||
If the relative TSR excess is more than -600 basis points but less than — basis points, or more than — basis points but less than +600 basis points, the percentage of the Relative TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
The Advisor, as the holder of the LTIP Units, is entitled to distributions on the LTIP Units equal to 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit (other than distributions of sale proceeds) until the LTIP Units are earned. These distributions are not

subject to forfeiture, even if the LTIP Units are ultimately forfeited. The Master LTIP Unit was entitled, on the Effective Date, to receive a distribution equal to the product of 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit during the period from the Listing Date to the Effective Date multiplied by the number of LTIP Units. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid distributions on the LTIP Units of $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which is recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. If any LTIP Units are earned, the holder will be entitled to a priority catch-up distribution on each earned LTIP Unit equal to the aggregate distributions paid on a Class A Unit during the Performance Period, less the aggregate distributions paid on the LTIP Unit during the Performance Period. As of the Valuation Date, the earned LTIP Units will become entitled to receive the same distributions paid on the Class A Units. Further, at the time the Advisor’s capital account with respect to an LTIP Unit that is earned and vested is economically equivalent to the average capital account balance of a Class A Unit, the Advisor, as the holder of the LTIP Unit in its sole discretion, will, in accordance with the Second A&R OP Agreement, be entitled to convert the LTIP Unit into a Class A Unit, which may, in turn, be redeemed on a one-for-one basis for, at the Company’s election, a share of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof.
If the Valuation Date is the effective date of a Change of Control or a termination of the Advisor without Cause (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), the number of LTIP Units earned will be calculated based on actual performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable), with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the Performance Period lasted less than three years but without pro-rating the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn to reflect the shortened period.
If the Valuation Date is the effective date of a termination of the Advisor with Cause, the number of LTIP Units earned will also be calculated based on actual performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the termination, with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the Performance Period lasted less than three years and with the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn also pro-rated to reflect the shortened period.
The award of LTIP Units under the 2018 OPP is administered by the compensation committee, provided that any of the compensation committee’s powers can be exercised instead by the Company’s board of directors if the board of directors so elects. Following the Valuation Date, the compensation committee is responsible for determining the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units earned, as calculated by an independent consultant engaged by the compensation committee and as approved by the compensation committee in its reasonable and good faith discretion. The compensation committee also must approve the transfer of any Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units (or Class A Units into which they may be converted in accordance with the terms of the A&R LPA).
LTIP Units earned as of the Valuation Date will also become vested as of the Valuation Date. Any LTIP Units that are not earned and vested after the compensation committee makes the required determination will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP, effective as of the Valuation Date.
Director Compensation
Effective on the Listing Date, the Company’s board of directors approved a new director compensation program, which replaced the Company’s existing director compensation program and superseded in all respects the director compensation previously approved by the Company’s board of directors in April 2015. Under the director compensation program, on a regular basis, each independent director receives an annual cash retainer of $60,000 and, in connection with each of the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders, a grant of $85,000 in restricted shares, vesting on the -year anniversary of the annual meeting.
The lead independent director receives an additional annual cash retainer of $100,000, the chair of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors receives an additional annual cash retainer of $30,000, each other member of the audit committee receives an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000, the chair of each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company’s board of directors receives an additional annual cash retainer of $15,000, and each other member of each of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000.
Each of the Company’s directors received a one-time retention grant on September 5, 2018 of 21,234 restricted shares, representing the number of restricted shares equal to the quotient of $340,000 divided by the Initial Share Price, vesting annually over a three-year period commencing on the Listing Date in equal installments. Because the independent directors did not receive an annual grant of restricted shares in connection with the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, on September 5, 2018 the independent directors received a grant of 5,308 restricted shares pursuant to the new director

compensation program, representing the number of restricted shares equal to the quotient of $85,000 divided by the Initial Share price, which vested on July 19, 2018.
Other Equity-Based Compensation
The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s directors at each director’s election. If the Company did so, there would be no restrictions on the shares issued since these payments in lieu of cash relate to fees earned for services performed. There were no shares of common stock issued to directors in lieu of cash compensation during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Note 13 — Net Loss Per Share
The following table sets forth the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders — Basic and Diluted | $ | (46,650) | $ | (3,101) | $ | (37,409) | ||||||||||||||
| Weighted average shares outstanding — Basic and Diluted | 108,404,093 | 106,397,296 | 105,560,053 | |||||||||||||||||
| Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders — Basic and Diluted | $ | (0.43) | $ | (0.03) | $ | (0.35) | ||||||||||||||
Diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting or conversion of restricted shares and Class A Units into an equivalent number of unrestricted shares of Class A common stock and the conversion of all outstanding Class B Units, prior to their vesting and conversion into Class A Units which were redeemed for shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Listing (see Note 10 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangements for additional information), unless the effect is antidilutive. If dilutive, conditionally issuable shares relating to the 2018 OPP award (see Note 12 — Equity-Based Compensation) would be included in the computation of fully diluted EPS on a weighted-average basis for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 based on shares that would be issued if the balance sheet date were the end of the measurement period. No LTIP Unit share equivalents were included in the computation for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 because no LTIP Units would have been earned based on the trading price of Class A common stock including any cumulative dividends paid (since inception of the OPP) at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
The Company had the following restricted shares, Class A Units, Class B Units and LTIP Units on a weighted-average basis that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been antidilutive for the periods presented:
