As of December 31, 2023, approximately 41.7% of the total annualized base rental income in our retail portfolio was generated by properties located in Texas, with 17.5%, 11.2%, 9.8%, and 3.2% of our total annualized base rental income generated by properties in Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, and San Antonio metropolitan areas, respectively. An oversupply of retail properties without corresponding increases in demand in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2024, approximately 38.5% of the total annualized base rental income in our retail portfolio was generated by properties located in Texas, with 16.1%, 10.2%, 9.0%, and 3.2% of our total annualized base rental income generated by properties in Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, and San Antonio metropolitan areas, respectively. An oversupply of retail properties without corresponding increases in demand or an economic downturn in some of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2023, approximately 58.0% of our total annualized base rental income is generated by our small shop tenants. Our small shop tenants may be more vulnerable to negative economic conditions as they generally have more limited resources than our anchor tenants. If a significant number of our small shop tenants experience financial difficulties or are unable to remain open, our cash flow, financial condition and result of operations could be adversely affected.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2023, economic occupancy and leased occupancy of our retail portfolio was 93.3% and 96.2%, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, leases representing approximately 5.0% and 12.1% of our retail portfolio GLA were scheduled to expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively. We cannot assure our stockholders that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased on terms equal to or better than the current terms, or at all. We also may not be able to lease space which is currently not occupied on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. In addition, some of our tenants have leases that include early termination provisions that permit the lessee to terminate all or a portion of its lease with us after a specified date or upon the occurrence of certain events with little or no liability to us. We may be required to offer substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options to retain these tenants or attract new ones. Portions of our assets may remain vacant for extended periods of time. If the rental rates for our assets decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re-lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Current wording

Risk Factors Related to the Environment Affecting Our Properties

Previous wording

Natural disasters and severe weather such as earthquakes, wildfires, mudslides, droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, hailstorms or floods may result in significant damage to our properties, decrease demand for certain properties, disrupt operations at our properties, increase the costs associated with maintaining or insuring our properties, and adversely affect both the value of our properties and the ability of our tenants and operators to make their scheduled rent payments to us. The extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area. These losses may not be insured or insurable at commercially reasonable rates. When we have a geographic concentration, a single catastrophe or destructive weather event affecting a region may have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As a result, our operating and financial results may vary significantly from one period to the next. We also are exposed to the risk of an increased need for the maintenance and repair of our buildings due to inclement or extreme weather.

Moreover, climate change may adversely impact our properties directly and may lead to additional compliance obligations and costs, including insurance premiums, taxes and fees. Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulation on climate change could result in increased operating costs (for example, increased utility costs) and/or increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties (for example, increased costs associated with meeting electric vehicle charging mandates) and could also require us to spend more on our new properties without a corresponding increase in revenue and could increase our exposure to new physical risks and liabilities.

Current wording

Moreover, climate change may adversely impact our properties directly, such as through increasing the frequency/severity of natural disasters or by chronic changes to weather patterns and the environment that impact the desirability of particular locations, and may lead to additional compliance obligations and costs, including insurance premiums, taxes and fees. Changes in federal, state and local legislation and regulation, or in other stakeholder expectations, on climate change could result in increased operating costs (for example, increased utility costs) and/or increased capital expenditures to improve the energy efficiency of our existing properties (for example, increased costs associated with meeting electric vehicle charging mandates) and could also require us to spend more on our new properties without a corresponding increase in revenue and could increase our exposure to new physical risks and liabilities.

Previous wording

If we do not have sufficient funds to repay our debt at maturity, it may be necessary to refinance this debt through additional debt financing, or private or public offerings of debt or equity securities. Adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which we borrow or refinance to be unfavorable. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we may be forced to dispose of assets on disadvantageous terms or at times which may not permit us to receive an attractive return on our investments, potentially resulting in losses adversely affecting cash flow from operating activities.

Current wording

In the past, we have refinanced our debt and relied on debt financing to, among other things, fund our operations, future investment activities and acquisitions and business growth and repay maturing debt. If we do not have sufficient funds to repay our debt at maturity, it may be necessary to refinance this debt through additional debt financing, or private or public offerings of debt or equity securities. Adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which we borrow or refinance to be unfavorable.

We may issue additional equity or debt securities in the future in order to raise capital. Additional issuances of equity securities could dilute the investment of our current stockholders.

Current wording

We may issue additional equity or debt securities in the future in order to raise capital. Additional issuances of equity securities would dilute the investment of our current stockholders and could decrease the market price of our common stock.

Previous wording

Issuing additional equity securities to finance future developments and acquisitions instead of incurring additional debt could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. Our ability to execute our business and growth plan depends on our access to an appropriate blend of capital, which could include a line of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, equity financing, or joint ventures.

Current wording

Issuing additional equity securities to finance future developments and acquisitions instead of incurring additional debt would dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. Further, a large volume of sales of shares of our common stock would decrease the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities in the future. Our ability to execute our business and growth plan depends on our access to an appropriate blend of capital, which could include a line of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, equity financing, or joint ventures.

Previous wording

Stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter authorizes our Board, without stockholder approval, to amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue. Stockholders are not entitled to vote on whether or not we issue additional shares.

Current wording

Stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to any shares issued by us in the future. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options, will dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders and such issuances or the perception of such issuances may reduce the market price of our common stock. Our charter authorizes our board of directors (the "Board"), without stockholder approval, to amend the charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company has authority to issue. Stockholders are not entitled to vote on whether or not we issue additional shares. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities or incur other or additional borrowings in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature, impact or success of our future capital raising efforts. Thus, common stockholders bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or equity securities or our incurrence of other or additional borrowings will negatively affect the market price of our common stock and adversely impact our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Previous wording

We maintain insurance coverage with third-party carriers who provide a portion of the coverage of potential losses, including wind, flood, named windstorm, earthquake, fire, and other property-related perils. We currently self-insure a portion of our commercial insurance deductible risk through our captive insurance company. To the extent that our captive insurance company is unable to bear that risk, we may be required to fund additional capital to our captive insurance company or we may be required to bear that loss. As a result, our operating results may be adversely affected.

We currently self-insure a portion of our commercial insurance deductible risk through our captive insurance company. To the extent that our captive insurance company is unable to bear that risk, we may be required to fund additional capital to our captive insurance company or we may be required to bear that loss. Further, there are losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not economically reasonable to insure. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future cash flow from the property.

Previous wording

Catastrophic losses, including but not limited to, windstorms, earthquakes, floods, and foreign terrorist activities may not be insurable or may not be economically insurable. Even when insurable, these policies may have high deductibles and/or high premiums. Lenders may require such insurance. Our failure to obtain such insurance could constitute a default under loan agreements, and/or our lenders may force us to obtain such insurance at unfavorable rates, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.

Previous wording

In the event of a substantial loss, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full current market value or replacement cost of our lost investment. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in an asset, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the asset. In that event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the asset. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might require us to come out of pocket to replace or renovate an asset after it has been damaged or destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might be inadequate to restore our economic position on the damaged or destroyed property, which could materially and adversely affect our profitability.

Previous wording

Under various federal, state, and local laws, an owner or manager of real property may be liable for the costs to assess and remediate the presence of hazardous substances on the property, which in our case generally arise from former dry cleaners, gas stations, asbestos usage, storage tanks, air emissions from emergency generators, storm water and wastewater discharges, lead-based pain, mold and mildew, waste management, and historic land use practices. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to properly address the presence of, hazardous substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. We can provide no assurance that we are aware of all potential environmental liabilities or their ultimate cost to address; that our properties will not be affected by tenants or nearby properties or other unrelated third parties; and that future uses or conditions, or changes in environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation, will not result in additional material environmental liabilities to us.

Moreover, compliance with ESG-related laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements may result in increased compliance costs, as well as additional scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks associated with environmental, social and sustainability matters. For example, the SEC continues to make moves towards issuing rules relating to climate risk disclosures, human capital management and other ESG matters and other regulatory bodies, including state governments and stock exchanges, have issued new laws or regulations relating to board structure, and increased ESG regulations and reporting requirements are likely to continue. If we fail to comply with new laws, regulations, expectations or reporting requirements, or if we are perceived as failing, our reputation and business could be adversely impacted. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on the price of the Company's stock and the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, including increased development costs, capital expenditures and operating expenses.

We, as well as our investors, are focused on corporate responsibility, specifically related to environmental, social and governance factors. Third-party providers of corporate responsibility ratings and reports on companies have increased to meet growing investor demand for measurement of corporate responsibility and performance. Although the Company makes ESG disclosures and undertakes sustainability and diversity initiatives, there is no assurance as to how we will rate according to the metrics. Additionally, the measurement parameters may change over time. We may face reputational damage in the event our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not meet the standards set by various constituencies. In addition, our competitors may receive more favorable ratings. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including increased capital expenditures and operating expenses.

Current wording

We may face reputational damage, litigation, or other risks in the event our corporate responsibility procedures or standards do not successfully navigate the expectations of various constituencies. In addition, our competitors may receive more favorable ratings or otherwise more successfully navigate competing stakeholder preferences. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including increased capital expenditures and operating expenses. Moreover, various of our customers and other stakeholders are subject to similar expectations, which may augment or create additional risks for us.

Previous wording

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information resources. More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can include an intruder gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced.

Current wording

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our computer systems, hardware, software, technology infrastructure and online sites and networks for both internal and external operations that are critical to our business (collectively, "IT systems"). More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can include an intruder gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data or steal confidential information and threats from diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as through diverse attack vendors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error, and as a result of bugs, misconfigurations or exploited vulnerabilities in software or hardware. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced.

Previous wording

Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of our IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches would not be successful or damaging. While we maintain some of our own critical IT systems, we also depend on third parties to provide important IT services relating to several key business functions. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems. Moreover, cyber incidents perpetrated against our tenants, including unauthorized access to customers' credit card data and other confidential information, could diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business and reputation.

Current wording

We and certain of our third-party providers collect, maintain and process data about customers, employees, business partners and others, including personally identifiable information, as well as proprietary information belonging to our business such as trade secrets (collectively, "Confidential Information"). There can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches would not be successful or damaging. While we maintain some of these IT Systems, we also depend on third parties to provide important IT Systems relating to several key business functions. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems. Moreover, cyber incidents perpetrated against our tenants, including unauthorized access to customers' credit card data and other confidential information, could diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business and reputation. Additionally, any integration of artificial intelligence ("AI"), machine learning and automated decision-making technologies (collectively, "AI Technologies") in our or any service providers' operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.

Previous wording

Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools – including generative and other artificial intelligence – that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, we, or our tenants, may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our or their IT networks and related systems, confidential information or business. Our and our tenants' primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationships with our tenants or damage to our tenants' relationships with their customers, as applicable, and private data exposure. Our and our tenants' financial results and reputation may be negatively impacted by such an incident.

Current wording

Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools - including, with increased frequency, generative and other AI Technologies - that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. As a result, we, or our tenants, may be unable to detect, investigate, remediate or recover from future attacks or incidents, or to avoid a material adverse impact to our IT Systems, confidential information or business. Any adverse impact to the availability, integrity or confidentiality of our IT Systems can result in legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, fines and penalties, operational interruption, damage to our relationships with our tenants or damage to our tenants' relationships with their customers, as applicable, and private data exposure. Our and our tenants' financial results and reputation may be negatively impacted by such an incident.
