Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. 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. The Corporation focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Corporation leases industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, and retail commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At March 31, 2021, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of 661 individual commercial properties with 660 properties located in 41 U.S. states and one property located in British Columbia, Canada.
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 remaining membership units in the OP (“OP Units”), which are referred to as non-controlling interests, are held by members who were issued OP Units pursuant to the Internalization (defined below) or in exchange for their interests in properties acquired by the OP. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as what is referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The Corporation, the OP, and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Prior to February 7, 2020, the Corporation was externally managed by Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) subject to the direction, oversight, and approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The Asset Manager was a wholly owned subsidiary of BRE and all of the Corporation’s officers were employees of BRE. Accordingly, both BRE and the Asset Manager were related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion concerning related parties and related party transactions.
On February 7, 2020, the Corporation, the OP, BRE, and certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, completed through a series of mergers (the “Mergers”) the internalization of the external management functions previously performed for the Corporation and the OP by BRE and the Asset Manager (such transactions, collectively, the “Internalization”). Upon consummation of the Internalization, the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP and the Company became internally managed. Upon Internalization, the prior Property Management Agreement and Asset Management Agreement were terminated. The Internalization was not considered a “Termination Event” under the terms of the agreements and therefore no fees were paid under them as a result of the Internalization.
On September 18, 2020, the Corporation effected a four -for-one stock split on its then outstanding 26,944 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) that previously had a $ 0.001 par value. Concurrent with the stock split, the OP effected a four-for-one stock split of its outstanding OP Units. No fractional shares or OP Units were issued as a result of the stock split. All historic share and per share amounts in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the stock split.
On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and issued an aggregate of 37,000 shares of a new class of common stock, $ 0.00025 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”) at $ 17.00 per share, which includes shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-240381), as amended, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Shares of Class A Common Stock were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “BNL.” On March 20, 2021, each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the symbol “BNL.” See Note 13.
The following table summarizes the outstanding equity and economic ownership interest of the Corporation and the OP:

2. 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 Corporation has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021. 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 Corporation believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).
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.
To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model, the Corporation 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.
The portion of the OP not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.
Basis of Accounting
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
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. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets and goodwill, the provision for impairment, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the provisions for uncollectible rent and credit losses, the fair value of the earnout liability, the fair value of assumed debt, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Long-lived Asset Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill, 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 asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the 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 asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. A significant judgment is made as to if and when impairment should be taken. The Company’s assessment of impairment as of March 31, 2021 was based on the most current information available to the Company. Based upon current market conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, under applicable GAAP guidance, 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 impairments could result in additional impairment charges in the future. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges associated with one property in each respective period. Impairment indicators primarily included changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties.
6
Inputs used in establishing fair value for 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. 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $ 2,012 and $ 2,133 , respectively.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages, and 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 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Earnout Liability – In connection with the Internalization, the Company recognized an earnout liability that will be due and payable to the former owners of BRE if certain milestones are achieved during specified periods of time following the closing of the Internalization (the “Earnout Periods”). Under the terms of the agreement, the milestones related to either (a) the 40-day dollar volume-weighted average price of a share of the Company’s common stock (“VWAP per REIT Share”), following the completion of an IPO of the Company’s common stock, or (b) the Company’s AFFO per share, prior to the completion of an IPO.
The Company utilizes third-party valuation experts to assist in estimating the fair value of the earnout liability, and develops estimates by considering weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes, and using a Monte Carlo simulation and discounted cash flow analysis. These estimates require the Company to make various assumptions about share price volatility and, prior to the IPO, about the timing of an IPO and net asset prices, each of which are unobservable and considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. A
7
change in these inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. Specifically, advancements in the estimated IPO date assumption increase d the earnout liability’s fair value given the earnout’s fixed time horizon. Peer share price volatilities are used to estimate the Company’s expected share price volatility, and the Company’s corresponding ability to achieve the earnout targets. Increases in the volatility assumption would increase the earnout liability’s fair value. Increases in net asset values would also increase the earnout liability’s fair value.
The table below provides a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used to estimate the fair value of the earnout liability as of March 31, 2021:

(a)
The Company’s net asset value per diluted share was primarily based on the fair value of its real estate investment portfolio, together with the fair value of its other assets and liabilities. The fair value of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio as of the measurement date was determined using market capitalization rates that ranged between 6.05 % and 7.09 %.

Long-term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates, and on the 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 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the Mortgages, net, Unsecured term notes, net, and Unsecured revolving credit facility, which reflects the fair value of interest rate swaps:

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 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 leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has issued restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) under its 2020 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). The Company accounts for stock-based incentives in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on the award’s estimated grant date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the appropriate vesting period on a straight-line basis or at the cumulative amount vested at each balance sheet date, if greater. The Company records forfeitures during the period in which they occur by reversing all previously recorded stock compensation expense associated with the forfeited shares. Dividends declared on RSAs issued under the Equity Incentive Plan are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends related to forfeited RSAs will be reversed through compensation expense in the period the forfeiture occurs. Dividends accrued on the PRSUs are recorded as Cumulative distributions in excess of retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accumulated dividends accrued related to forfeited PRSUs are reversed in the period the forfeiture occurs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope , which refines the scope of ASC 848, to include all derivative contracts subject to a transition for discounting cash flows, for computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest (PAI) as a result of reference rate reform (the “discounting transition”). ASU 2021-01 gives market participants the ability to apply certain aspects of the contract modification and hedge accounting expedients to derivative contracts affected by a discounting transition. ASU 2021-01 permits an entity to elect certain hedging relief if it has designated a derivative as a hedging instrument in a hedging relationship and the terms of the derivative have changed as a result of the discounting transition. The Company will apply the amendments in ASU 2021-01 related to contract modifications and hedging relationships prospectively.
Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity . The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance.
3. Related-Party Transactions
Prior to the Internalization on February 7, 2020, BRE, a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation had either a direct or indirect ownership interest, and the Asset Manager were considered to be related parties.
Earnout Consideration
In connection with the Internalization, the Company incurred a contingent obligation that would be payable to certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and employees who had previously been owners and/or employees of BRE, upon the occurrence of certain events (see Note 4). The earnout consideration at March 31, 2021, consisted of $ 6,385 recorded as Earnout liability, $ 11,380 recorded as a component of Additional paid-in capital, and $ 19,430 recorded as a component of Non-controlling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The earnout consideration at March 31, 2020, consisted of $ 44,296 recorded as Earnout liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Internalization
On February 7, 2020, the Company completed the Internalization and the Company’s management team and corporate staff, who were previously employed by BRE, became employees of an indirect subsidiary of the OP. The effect of the Internalization has been reflected in the Company’s operating results beginning on February 7, 2020.
Condensed Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following pro forma information summarizes selected financial information from the Company’s combined results of operations, as if the Internalization had occurred on January 1, 2019. These results contain certain adjustments totaling $ 5,646 of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020. These pro forma adjustments reflect the elimination of Internalization expenses and asset management, property management, and disposition fees between the Company and BRE and the Asset Manager in historic financial results, and adjustments to reflect compensation and related costs, incremental general and administrative expenses related to the Internalization, and incremental interest expense associated with the borrowing related to the Internalization. This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only, and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the Internalization occurred at the beginning of the period, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.

7. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements
The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants in the industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, retail, and other industries. At March 31, 2021, the Company had 644 real estate properties which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases, 10 that have been classified as direct financing leases, and one that has been classified as a sales-type lease. Of the 10 leases classified as direct financing leases, three include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases. The sales-type lease includes a land portion which is accounted for as an operating lease. Substantially all 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 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.

At March 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings was 2.45 %, exclusive of interest rate swap agreements.
On March 12, 2021, the Company amended the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan and made a $ 50,000 paydown on the loan. Prior to the amendment, the borrowings under the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan were subject to interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin based on the OP’s current credit rating ranging between 1.45 % and 2.40 % per annum with the applicable margin being 1.60 % immediately prior to the amendment. The amendment reduced the margin to a range between 0.85 % and 1.65 % per annum and based on the OP’s credit rating of BBB, the applicable margin was 1.0 % beginning March 12, 2021. All other terms and conditions of the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan remained materially the same as those in effect prior to this amendment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid $ 951 in debt issuance costs associated with the amended 2026 Unsecured Term Loan. 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. Based on the assessment, $ 946 of debt issuance costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2021, were deemed to be related to the modification of existing debt, and therefore have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the associated debt.

Additionally, $ 126 of unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and included in Cost of debt extinguishment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Debt issuance costs are amortized as a component of interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The following table summarizes debt issuance cost amortization:

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, including leverage, fixed charge coverage, and debt service coverage, among others. As of March 31, 2021, 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 and adverse impact on the Company.

11. Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swaps were entered into with certain financial institutions in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability over the term of the related debt agreements. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. In order to reduce counterparty concentration risk, the Company has a diversification policy for institutions that serve as swap counterparties. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly payments from the counterparties on these interest rate swaps equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. Certain interest rate swaps amortize on a monthly basis. In turn, the Company pays the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that the Company pays a fixed interest rate on its variable-rate borrowings.

Amounts related to the interest rate swaps expected to be reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense during the next twelve months are estimated to be a loss of $ 15,776 . The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of the swaps. The Company minimizes the risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
12. Credit Risk Concentrations
The Company maintained bank balances that, at times, exceeded the federally insured limit during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company has not experienced losses relating to these deposits and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these amounts.
The Company has mortgages with three institutions that comprised 63 %, 16 %, and 10 % of total mortgages at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no individual tenants or common franchises that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.
13. Equity
General
On September 21, 2020, the Corporation completed its IPO and issued 37,000 shares of Class A Common Stock inclusive of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on October 20, 2020.
Aside from the conversion discussed below, the terms of the Class A Common Stock were identical to the terms of the Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted into one share of Common Stock on March 20, 2021, and effective March 22, 2021, all shares of Common Stock were listed and freely tradeable on the NYSE under the ticker “BNL.” The Common Stock and Class A Common Stock are collectively referred to as the Corporation’s “common stock.”
14. Stock-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock Awards
On March 1, 2021 and August 4, 2020, the Company awarded 199 and 341 shares of RSAs, respectively, under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain officers and employees. The holder of RSAs is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted common shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The March 1, 2021 RSAs vest over a one, three or four year period from the date of grant. The August 4, 2020 RSAs vest over a three or four year period from the anniversaries of February 7, 2020. The vesting for the RSAs is subject to the employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates and in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreements. The August 4, 2020 grant date fair value per share of $ 20.50 was based on the determined share value established by the Board of Directors (“Determined Share Value”). Prior to the IPO, the Company sold shares of common stock in a private offering at a price equal to the Determined Share Value, which was established at least quarterly by the Board of Directors based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Board of Directors determined. The Company’s NAV was calculated using its established valuation process, starting with an estimate of the fair value of the properties in the portfolio as of that date based upon, among other factors, the implied market price for each asset based upon a review of market capitalization rates. The March 1, 2021 grant date fair value per share of $ 18.66 was based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Restricted Stock Units
On March 1, 2021, the Company issued target grants of 132 PRSUs under the Equity Incentive Plan to the officers of the Company. 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 over a three-year period, as identified in the grant agreements, and 50% based on the rTSR of the Company’s common stock as compared to the rTSR of the MSCI US REIT Index over a three year measurement period. The payout schedules can produce vesting percentages ranging from 0 % to 200 % with a target of 100 %. rTSR means the percentage appreciation in the fair market value of one share over the three-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. 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 direction of the Board’s Compensation Committee. The grant date fair value of the PRSUs was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on assumptions including share price volatility.

The shares of restricted common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of doing so would have been anti-dilutive.
(b)
Represents the weighted average effects of 11,361 and 12,226 OP Units outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. OP Units are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. However, because such OP Units would also require that the share of the net income attributable to such OP units also be added back to net income, there is no effect to EPS.
16. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures
Cash paid for interest was $ 9,397 and $ 14,010 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was $ 237 and $ 195 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The following are non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
•
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Corporation issued 69 shares of Common Stock with a value of approximately $ 5,733 under the terms of the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”). The Company terminated the DRIP effective February 10, 2020.

•
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued shares of Common Stock and OP Units, with a total value of approximately $ 178,535 , and earnout consideration with a fair value of $ 40,119 as consideration for the Internalization and assumed $ 90,484 of debt.
•
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company adjusted the carrying value of mezzanine equity non-controlling interests by $ 2,416 , with an offset to Additional paid-in capital, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy.
•
At March 31, 2021 and 2020, dividend amounts declared and accrued but not yet paid amounted to $ 39,329 and $ 13,160 , respectively.
17. 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.

The Company is a party to three separate tax protection agreements with the contributing members of three distinct UPREIT transactions and to the Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement in connection with the 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 Founding Owners’ Tax Protection Agreement, 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 do not represent GAAP accounting. Therefore, there is no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on values as of March 31, 2021, taxable sales of the applicable properties would trigger liability under the agreements of approximately $ 22,300 . 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.
Obligations Under Operating Leases
Subsequent to the Internalization, the Company leases office space for its corporate headquarters and other locations under non-cancellable operating leases with expiration dates ranging from 2021 to 2023 . These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement. The lease for the corporate headquarters is with an affiliated third party.
The Company also leases land at certain properties under non-cancellable operating leases (“ground leases”) with initial lease terms ranging from 2034 to 2066 . These leases contain provisions for fixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. One lease requires the Company to make annual rent payments calculated based upon sales generated at the property (“percentage rent”). None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement.
