Market Information
Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BNL.”
Stockholders
As of February 14, 2025, there were approximately 471 holders of record of our common stock. However, because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of shareholders, we believe there are considerably more beneficial holders of our common stock than record holders.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
Not applicable.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
The information concerning our Equity Compensation Plan will be included in the Proxy Statement to be filed relating to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
Performance Graph
The following graph is a comparison of the cumulative total return of shares of our common stock, the S&P 500, and the MCSI US REIT Index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on December 31, 2019, in each of shares of our common stock, the S&P 500 and the MCSI US REIT Index, and that all dividends were reinvested. There can be no assurance that the performance of our shares will continue in line with the same or similar trends depicted in the graph below. The MCSI US REIT Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is comprised of equity REITs. The index is based on MSCI USA Investable Market Index (IMI), its parent index, which captures large, mid, and small capitalization securities. While funds used in this benchmark typically target institutional investors and have characteristics that differ from us (including differing fees), we feel that the MCSI US REIT Index is an appropriate and accepted index for the purpose of evaluating returns on investments in direct real estate funds.

Prior to our IPO in September 2020 and the listing of our common stock on the NYSE, we sold shares of common stock in a private offering at a share price established by the committee of our Board of Directors comprised of our independent directors (“Independent Directors Committee”) based on the net asset value of our portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors the Independent Directors Committee deemed necessary. Subsequent to our IPO and listing of our common stock on the NYSE, our share price is determined by market participants.
