First Quarter 2020 Highlights


 
Key Highlights Signed approximately 618,000 square feet of new and renewal leases with a weighted average term of 10.6 years. Acquired a 526,320 square foot industrial property in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The purchase price was approximately $34.9 million and is 100% leased to Pepsi Bottling Ventures until 2032. In April 2020, we signed an approximately 183,000 square-foot lease to a major Fortune 100 company at our Arlington Heights, Illinois property for a term of over 10 years. Simultaneously, with execution of the lease, we entered into a termination agreement with the previous tenant for a payment of $10.8 million. As of May 11, 2020, collected 98% of April rents and 96% of May rents. 5

The decrease in occupancy is primarily related to the vacancies of AMEX (0.3 million square feet), IBM (approximately 0.3 million square feet), McDermott (0.1 million square feet); offset by the addition of Pepsi Bottling Ventures (0.5 million square feet). 3. Investment grade designations are those of either tenants, guarantors and/or non-guarantor parents with investment grade ratings or Bloomberg equivalent ratings. The decrease in investment grade is primarily the result of the following tenants: Tivo Corporation, Wood Group USA, Inc., and Restoration Hardware. 4. The weighted average loan maturities for the Company’s fixed-rate and variable-rate debt are 7.07 and 3.96 years, respectively. Including the effect of interest rate swaps, the weighted average loan maturities for the Company’s fixed-rate and variable-rate debt are 5.75 and 3.22 years, respectively. 5.

Determination of NAV (in thousands, except per share amounts) Set forth below are the components of our daily NAV as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, calculated in accordance with our valuation procedures (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Gross Real Estate Asset Value $ 4,431,973 $ 4,348,529 Investments in Unconsolidated Entities 2,652 7,549 Management Company (Per Duff and Phelps Appraisal) 230,000 230,000 Interest Rate Swap (Unrealized Loss) (56,651) (25,888) Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (125,000) (125,000) Other Assets/(Liabilities), Net 38,293 60,500 Total Debt (Adjusted Fair Value) 1 (2,086,121) (1,978,361) NAV $ 2,435,146 $ 2,517,329 Total Shares Outstanding 261,935,169 269,752,377 NAV per share2 $ 9.30 $ 9.33 1. Amount excludes our March 31, 2020 fair value adjustment, as the value is received subsequent to our daily NAV posting. 2. We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis and utilize interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of our variable rate borrowings. Continued volatility in interest rates continues to impact such fair values. The change in NAV per share was largely due to the change in value of our swaps. The principal balance of our borrowings is not affected by changes in interest rates, and future increases in interest rates would have a positive impact on the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings and interest rate swaps. 21
