Current report

We, and our tenants’ businesses may be disrupted by global political and economic uncertainties, including changes in trade relationships and tariff policies, geopolitical conflicts, and public health crises, that could result in adverse macroeconomic conditions. In April 2025, the United States imposed a 10% tariff on all countries and individualized reciprocal higher tariffs on countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, to which certain countries have responded by imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. Escalated geopolitical tensions resulting from such changes in trade policies and tariffs have significantly disrupted the markets and increased the risk of a major economic recession or slowdown. The extent of the impact of such tariffs and changes in trade policies or other regulatory changes enacted by the current administration is uncertain and unpredictable, and may significantly adversely affect the global economy, the market price of our publicly traded securities, and our and our tenants’ businesses. Additionally, geopolitical conflicts, such as terrorist attacks or other acts of violence or war (including the conflicts in Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East) and the related adverse impact on macroeconomic conditions as a result of such conflicts could negatively affect our business or the businesses of our tenants. The consequences of such conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have a material adverse effect on us. More generally, any of these events resulting from global political and economic uncertainties could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease, result in an economic recession or increase volatility of the financial markets and economy of the United States and worldwide. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, ability to pay dividends or stock price.
