Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- Business Description
Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the Corporation’s operating company, or the “OP”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member of the OP. The membership units not owned by the Corporation are referred to as “OP Units” and are recorded as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The Corporation’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BNL.” The Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
The Company is an industrial-focused, diversified net lease REIT that focuses on investing in income-producing, single-tenant net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Company leases primarily industrial and retail commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At September 30, 2025, the Company owned a diversified portfolio of 759 individual commercial properties with 752 properties located in 44 U.S. states andseven properties located infour Canadian provinces.

- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Information
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Company believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).
Basis of Accounting
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the entity is evaluated to determine if it should be deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and is therefore required to consolidate the entity. The accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs is applied to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Certain decision-making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement may cause us to consider an entity a VIE. The contractual arrangements in a partnership agreement or other related contracts are reviewed to determine whether the entity is a VIE, and if the Company has variable interests in the VIE. The Company’s variable interests are then compared to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. A primary beneficiary: (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reassesses the initial evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain events occur, and reassesses the primary beneficiary determination of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances. To the extent the Company has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the VIE model, the Company evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model.
The Corporation has complete responsibility for the day-to-day management of, authority to make decisions for, and control of the OP. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the OP is a VIE as the members in the OP do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the OP. However, because the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the OP and certain other conditions are met, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.
From time to time, the Company acquires properties using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a “reverse 1031 exchange”) and, as such, the properties are in the possession of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”) until the reverse 1031 exchange is completed. EATs are classified as VIEs as they are “thinly capitalized” entities. The Company consolidates the EAT because it is the primary beneficiary as it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and can collapse the reverse 1031 exchange structure at its discretion. The assets of the EAT primarily consist of leased property (net real estate investment in rental property and lease intangibles).
The portions of a consolidated entity not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company invested $17.8 million and $6.0 million intwo consolidated VIEs in exchange for 95.0% and 85.1% ownership interests, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company invested $40.1 million intwo consolidated VIEs in exchange for 95.0% ownership interests and $6.0 million in exchange for 85.1% ownership interest in a consolidated VIE. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company invested $52.2 million in exchange for 98.1% ownership interest in a consolidated VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these four VIEs as it: (i) has the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits of the VIE, and therefore consolidates the VIE.
The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

| Other liabilities | (894) | 467 |
| Total liabilities | $(1,340) | $979 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investment in Property Under Development
Land acquired for development and construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties are capitalized and recorded as Property under development in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until construction has been completed. Such capitalized costs include all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development, and construction, including interest, real estate taxes, and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period. Once substantially complete, the property under development is placed in service and depreciation commences. The following tables summarize the Company’s investments in property under development:
| (in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Development, construction and improvement costs | $176,199 | $18,725 |
| Capitalized interest | 2,973 | 59 |
| Property under development | $179,172 | $18,784 |
| (in thousands) · For the Three Months EndedSeptember 30, · For the Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Investment in properties under development, excluding capitalized costs | $60,536 | $18,450 | $159,924 | $85,900 |
| Capital expenditures funded after substantial completion | — | 6,229 | 11,576 | 6,229 |
Long-lived Asset Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the long-lived asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. Significant judgment is made to determine if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was based on the most current information available to the Company. Certain of the Company’s properties may have fair values less than their carrying amounts. However, based on the Company’s plans with respect to each of those properties, the Company believes that their carrying amounts are recoverable and therefore, no impairment charges were recognized other than those described below. If the operating conditions mentioned above deteriorate or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets changes, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future.
Inputs used in establishing fair value for impaired real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market conditions, as derived through the use of published commercial real estate market information and information obtained from brokers and other third party sources. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.
The following table summarizes the Company’s impairment charges, resulting primarily from changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties:
| (in thousands, except number of properties) · For the Three Months EndedSeptember 30, · For the Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · 2024 · 2025 · 2024 | ||||||
| Number of properties | 7 | 3 | 18 | 17 | ||
| Impairment charge | $6,999 | $1,059 | $35,067 | $31,311 | ||
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized impairment of $7.0 million and $35.1 million, respectively, resulting from changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties. The impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were based on actual and expected sales prices of individual properties and primarily includes a $14.6 million impairment charge ontwo healthcare properties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized impairment of $1.1 million and $31.3 million, respectively. The impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily includes an $18.1 million impairment charge ontwo healthcare properties, which was based on expected sales prices of the properties, and an $11.2 million impairment charge on 11 healthcare properties sold as part of a portfolio with a gain of $59.1 million, excluding any impairment, which was based on actual sales prices of the individual properties.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash generally includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is reported within Prepaid expenses and other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Escrow funds and other | $1,354 | $1,148 |
Rent Received in Advance
Rent received in advance represents tenant rent payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent received in advance consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Rent received in advance | $18,615 | $16,616 |
Segment Reporting
The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of net leased properties. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s senior leadership team, which includes, the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and the Company’s Senior Vice Presidents. The CODM assesses, measures, and reviews the operating and financial results at the consolidated level for the entire portfolio based on consolidated revenues, expenses, and net income as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company does not evaluate the results of operations based on geography, size, or property type.
Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The balances of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (see Note 9):
| (in thousands) | September 30, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 | ||||
| Interest rate swap, assets | $19,590 | $— | $19,590 | $— |
| Interest rate swap, liabilities | (1,994) | — | (1,994) | — |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Interest rate swap, assets | $46,220 | $— | $46,220 | $— |
Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs based on secondary market trades of the Company’s 2031 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (see Note 7), recent comparable financing transactions, recent market risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company’s judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.
The following table summarizes the carrying amount reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the unsecured revolving credit facility, mortgages, unsecured term loans, and senior unsecured notes which reflects the fair value of interest rate swaps:
| (in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount | $2,353,029 | $1,919,927 |
| Fair value | 2,276,230 | 1,794,821 |
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the fair value of impaired real estate assets that were determined using Level 3 inputs.
Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company is a lessee under non-cancelable operating and finance leases associated with its corporate headquarters and other office spaces as well as with leases of land (“ground leases”). The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with these leases. The lease liability is equal to the net present value of the future payments to be made under the lease, discounted using estimates based on observable market factors. The right-of-use asset is generally equal to the lease liability plus initial direct costs associated with the leases. The Company includes in the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability those renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease inception. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions are considered variable lease costs and are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company has made an accounting policy election, applicable to all asset types, not to separate lease from nonlease components when allocating contract consideration related to operating leases.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with operating and finance leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
| (in thousands) | Financial Statement Presentation | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating leases: | |||
| Right-of-use assets | Prepaid expenses and other assets | $9,747 | $10,239 |
| Lease liabilities | Accounts payable and other liabilities | 9,735 | 10,186 |
| Financing leases: | |||
| Right-of-use assets | Prepaid expenses and other assets | 2,232 | — |
| Lease liabilities | Accounts payable and other liabilities | 2,715 | — |
Refer to Note 16 for obligations under operating and finance leases.
Rental Expense
Rental expense associated with operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease, for leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations. The difference between rental expense incurred on a straight-line basis and the cash rental payments due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as part of the right-of-use asset in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rental expense associated with finance leases is recorded as interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense on the right-of-use asset. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions based on the achievement of sales targets are recognized as variable rental expense when achievement of the sales targets are considered probable. Ground lease expense for properties that are under development by the Company are capitalized to property under development until the development reaches substantial completion.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires a public entity to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will have the election to apply the amendments either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. While this update will result in enhanced disclosures, the Company does not expect it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

- Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements
The Company primarily leases its investment rental property to established tenants in the industrial and retail property types. At September 30, 2025, the Company had 759 real estate properties,746 of which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases, nine that have been classified as direct financing leases, one that has been classified as a sales-type lease, andthree that were vacant. Of thenine leases classified as direct financing leases, three include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases. Most leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years. The Company’s leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, tenants are also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide for one or more multiple-year renewal options, at the election of the tenant, and are subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.
Investment in Rental Property – Accounted for Using the Operating Method
Depreciation expense on investment in rental property was as follows:
| For the Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | For the Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Depreciation | $31,933 | $30,006 | $95,052 | $89,480 |
Estimated lease payments to be received under non-cancelable operating leases with tenants at September 30, 2025 are as follows:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2025 | $102,365 |
| 2026 | 422,124 |
| 2027 | 407,252 |
| 2028 | 407,809 |
| 2029 | 397,251 |
| Thereafter | 3,126,505 |
| $4,863,306 | |
Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the tenant, the above amounts only include future lease payments due during the initial lease terms. Such amounts exclude any potential variable rent increases that are based on changes in the CPI or future variable rents which may be received under the leases based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. Additionally, certain of our leases provide tenants with the option to terminate their leases in exchange for termination penalties, or that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event. Future lease payments within the table above have not been adjusted for these termination rights.
Investment in Rental Property – Direct Financing Leases
The Company’s net investment in direct financing leases was comprised of the following:
| (in thousands) | September 30,2025 | December 31,2024 |

The Company is subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to its unsecured credit agreements. These covenants require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2025, and for all periods presented, the Company believes it was in compliance with all of its loan covenants. Failure to comply with the covenants would result in a default which, if the Company were unable to cure or obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate the repayment of the obligations. Further, in the event of default, the Company may be restricted from paying dividends to its stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain its REIT qualification. Accordingly, an event of default could have a material effect on the Company.
On September 26, 2025, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2032 (the "2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes"), issued at 99.151% of the principal amount. The 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes require semi-annual interest payments through the maturity date of November 1, 2032, unless earlier redeemed. The 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes can be redeemed by the Company at par withintwo months of the maturity date, or the Company can call the notes at any time for the principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole amount based upon the applicable government bond yield plus 20 basis points. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility, to fund investments in real estate, and for general corporate purposes.
On February 28, 2025, the Company amended and restated the $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, to extend the maturity date of the unsecured revolving credit facility to March 31, 2029, and entered into a $500.0 million term loan agreement maturing on March 31, 2028 (the “2028 Unsecured Term Loan”). The Company borrowed $400.0 million of the available borrowings on the closing date and the remaining $100.0 million was funded during May 2025. Borrowings under the 2028 Unsecured Term Loan are subject to interest only payments at variable rates equal to adjusted SOFR plus a margin based on the Company’s credit rating, ranging between 0.800% and 1.600% per annum. Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the applicable margin was 0.950% as of September 30, 2025. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay the $400.0 million 2026 Unsecured Term Loan in full and repay a portion of the unsecured revolving credit facility. The amended and restated agreement includes an accordion feature to increase the aggregate facility size from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase and other customary conditions. All remaining terms of the unsecured revolving credit facility remained the same.
For each separate debt instrument, on a lender by lender basis, in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, the Company performed an assessment of whether the transaction was deemed to be new debt, a modification of existing debt, or an extinguishment of existing debt. Debt issuance costs are either deferred and amortized over the term of the associated debt or expensed as incurred. With respect to the amended and restated unsecured credit agreement, the transaction was deemed to be a modification of debt.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $6.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively, in debt issuance costs associated with the amended and restated unsecured credit agreement and 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, which have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the associated debt. The Company didnot incur debt issuance costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts are amortized as a component of Interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The following table summarizes debt issuance cost and original issuance discount amortization:

- Interest Rate Swaps
In connection with the issuance of the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes in September 2025 and repayment of outstanding borrowings of variable rate debt indexed to the daily simple SOFR rate (see Note 7), the Company terminated interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate termination value of $6.7 million. The Company determined it is not probable the hedged forecasted transactions will occur during the original periods, and therefore the $6.1 million of accumulated losses held in Other comprehensive income (loss) were reclassified to interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, in September 2025, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements indexed to the 7-year U.S. Treasury for an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million in connection with the issuance of the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes. These interest rate swaps were terminated upon issuance of the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes. The Company determined it is probable the hedged forecasted transaction will occur during the original periods, and therefore will amortize $0.6 million of accumulated losses held in Other comprehensive income (loss) over the original term of the swap agreement, which ends in August 2032.

- Equity
At-the-Market Program (“ATM Program”)
The Company enters into ATM Programs through which it may, from time to time, publicly offer and sell shares of common stock. The Company’s ATM Programs also provide for forward sale agreements, enabling the Company to set the price of shares upon pricing the offering, while delaying the issuance of shares and the receipt of the net proceeds. During 2024, the Company replaced its prior $400.0 million ATM Program (“2021 ATM Program”) with a new $400.0 million ATM Program (“2024 ATM Program”), and the 2021 ATM Program was simultaneously terminated.
The following table presents information about the Company’s ATM Programs:
| (in thousands) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Program Year | Program Size | Aggregate Gross Sales | Shares Issued |
| 2021 (a) | $400,000 | $254,620 | 11,542 |
| 2024 | 400,000 | 40,003 | 2,188 |
(a)ATM Program has been terminated and no future issuance will occur.
During 2024, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell an aggregate of 2,187,700 shares of common stock under the 2024 ATM Program at a weighted-average share price of $18.29, subject to certain adjustments. The Company expects to settle the outstanding shares of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2025 for expected net proceeds of approximately $37.3 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not settled any of the outstanding shares of these forward sales agreements. There wasno ATM Program activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. After considering the shares sold subject to forward sale agreements, the Company has $360.0 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program as of September 30, 2025.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company has a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. On March 11, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors re-authorized the Repurchase Program for a 12-month period ending on March 14, 2026. The Repurchase Program may be extended, suspended, or discontinued at any time. Under the Repurchase Program, repurchases of the Company’s stock can be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time over the 12-month period, depending on prevailing market conditions and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases of common stock under the Repurchase Program will be determined at the Company’s discretion, using available cash resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased under the Repurchase Program.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued target grants of 246,967 and 202,308 of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), respectively, under the Company’s equity incentive plan to the officers of the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there wereno PRSUs issued. The awards are non-vested restricted stock units where the vesting percentages and the ultimate number of units vesting will be measured 50% based on the relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of peer companies, as identified in the grant agreements, over athree-year period, and 50% based on the rTSR of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of the MSCI US REIT Index over athree year measurement period. Vesting percentages range from 0% to 200% with a target of 100%. rTSR means the percentage appreciation in the fair market value of one share over thethree-year measurement period beginning on the date of grant, assuming the reinvestment of dividends on the ex-dividend date. The target number of units is based on achieving a rTSR equal to the 55 th percentile of the peer companies and MSCI US REIT Index. For PRSUs issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 that achieve a percentile rank of at least the 55 th percentile, and the absolute rTSR of the Company is negative for the performance period, the awards will be reduced by 25%, not to result in a reduction less than target. Dividends accrue during the measurement period and will be paid on the PRSUs ultimately earned at the end of the measurement period in either cash or common stock, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on assumptions including share price volatility.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Property and Acquisition Related
In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company is not aware of any non-compliance, liability, claim, or other environmental condition that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company has commitments to fund eight build-to-suit transactions with remaining obligations of $235.8 million expected to fund in multiple draws through October 2026, using a combination of available cash on hand and revolving credit facility borrowings. Rent is contractually scheduled to commence when the properties reach substantial completion and are made available for use by the tenant, which is expected to occur at various dates between October 2025 and October 2026.
The Company is a party totwo separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members oftwo distinct UPREIT transactions and a third tax protection agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s internalization. The tax protection agreements require the Company to indemnify the beneficiaries in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property, and in the case of the tax protection agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s internalization, the entire Company, in a taxable transaction that would cause such beneficiaries to recognize a gain that is protected under the agreements, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is required to allocate an amount of nonrecourse liabilities to each beneficiary that is at least equal to the minimum liability amount, as contained in the agreements. The minimum liability amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the OP level, and are not probable. Therefore, there is no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on values as of September 30, 2025, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the agreements of approximately $20.4 million. Based on information available, the Company does not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated to purchase the properties.
Obligations Under Operating and Finance Leases
As described in Note 2, the Company is a lessee under non-cancelable operating and finance leases associated with its corporate headquarters and other office spaces as well as ground leases. The Company’s obligations under leases primarily consist of a lease for the Company’s corporate office space, which expires in October 2033 and was determined to be an operating lease. The lease containstwo five-year extension options, exercisable at the Company’s discretion, that are not reasonably certain to be exercised, and are therefore excluded from our calculation of the lease liability. The remaining lease obligations primarily consist of ground leases that, in accordance with the terms of our leases, are typically required to be reimbursed by our tenants. The Company remains primarily responsible for ground leases in the event a tenant is unable to pay. The weighted average discount rate on our operating and finance leases is 8.4%. The weighted average years remaining on our operating and finance lease liabilities is 27.2 years.
