Trends and Uncertainties

COVID-19 Outbreak

COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in January 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19, which continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets.

It has already disrupted global travel supply chains, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and its long-term economic impact remains uncertain.

It has disrupted global travel supply chains, adversely impacted global commercial activity, and its long-term economic impact remains uncertain.

Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the population, including the spread of more contagious variants of the virus, as well as the availability, administration rates and effectiveness of vaccines, therapeutics and any responses taken on a national and local level by government authorities and businesses.

The travel restrictions, limits on hours of operations and/or closures of various businesses and other efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 significantly disrupted business activity globally, including in the markets where we own properties.

Many of our tenants do not fully occupy the space that they lease.

Travel restrictions, limits on hours of operations and/or closures of various businesses and other efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 significantly disrupted business activity globally, including in the markets where we own properties.

Many of our tenants still do not fully occupy the space that they lease.

The pandemic has had an adverse impact on economic and market conditions in various sectors of the economy.

However, the evolving nature of the pandemic makes it difficult to ascertain the long-term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and our business.

Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the performance of our properties and our financial results, such as the potential negative impact to the businesses of our tenants, the potential negative impact to leasing efforts and occupancy at our properties, the potential closure of certain of our assets for an extended period, uncertainty regarding future rent collection levels or requests for rent concessions from our tenants, the occurrence of a default under any of our debt agreements, the potential for increased borrowing costs, our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or to secure new sources of capital on favorable terms, fluctuations in our level of dividends, increased costs of operations, our ability to complete required capital expenditures in a timely manner and on budget, decrease in values of our real estate assets, changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy.

We are unable to estimate the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future financial results at this time.

Economic Conditions

The global economy is experiencing significant disruptions as a result of various factors, including geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing supply chain difficulties.

In addition, increasing inflation, energy prices and interest rates are contributing to recessionary concerns for the economy of the United States.

In addition, negative gross domestic product growth, increasing inflation, energy prices and interest rates and declining consumer confidence and spending are contributing to recessionary concerns for the economy of the United States.

Economic conditions directly affect the demand for office space, our primary income producing asset.

In addition, the broad economic market conditions in the United States are typically affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to, inflation and employment levels, energy prices, the pace of economic growth and/or recessionary concerns, uncertainty about government fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, changes in currency exchange rates, geopolitical events, the regulatory environment, the availability of credit, and interest rates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate target by 25 basis points to a range of 0.25% to 0.50% and signaled the likely possibility of additional increases in 2022.

In addition, in April 2022, the Federal Reserve confirmed its plan to reduce its balance sheet at a rapid pace beginning in May 2022, launching a process known as quantitative tightening, which could further result in increases in interest rates.

If interest rates increase, then the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt could also increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate target several times, most recently by 75 basis points in June 2022 to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in July 2022, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate by 75 basis points to a range of 2.25% to 2.50% and indicated that ongoing increases in the target range will be appropriate, which could also increase interest rates.

In addition, in April 2022, the Federal Reserve confirmed its plan to reduce its balance sheet at a rapid pace beginning in May 2022 and in July 2022 indicated it would continue to reduce its holdings of Treasury Securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities.

If interest rates continue to increase, then the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt would be adversely affected, which could in turn adversely affect our cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Increasing interest rates could also decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets and limit our ability to incur new debt or refinance existing debt when it matures.

As of the date of this report, the impact of current economic conditions, geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic and related fallout from containment and mitigation measures, such as work from home arrangements and the closing of various businesses, are adversely affecting the demand for office space in the United States.

Real Estate Operations

As of March 31, 2022, our real estate portfolio was comprised of 24 operating properties, which we also refer to as our owned properties.

Our 24 operating properties were approximately 77.3% leased as of March 31, 2022, a decrease from 78.4% leased as of December 31, 2021.

The 1.1% decrease in leased space was primarily a result of lease maturities that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 1,568,000 square feet of vacancy in our owned properties compared to approximately 1,496,000 square feet of vacancy at December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we leased approximately 131,000 square feet of office space, of which approximately 28,000 square feet were with existing tenants, at a weighted average term of 8.6 years.

On average, tenant improvements for such leases were $52.16 per square foot, lease commissions were $18.10 per square foot and rent concessions were approximately eight months of free rent.

As of June 30, 2022, our real estate portfolio was comprised of 24 operating properties, which we also refer to as our owned properties.

Our 24 operating properties were approximately 76.3% leased as of June 30, 2022, a decrease from 78.4% leased as of December 31, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we leased approximately 276,000 square feet of office space, of which approximately 105,000 square feet were with existing tenants, at a weighted average term of 6.9 years.

On average, tenant improvements for such leases were $40.48 per square foot, lease commissions were $13.72 per square foot and rent concessions were approximately six

months of free rent.

Average GAAP base rents under such leases were $33.58 per square foot, or 4.7% higher than average rents in the respective properties as applicable compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, leases for approximately 4.3% and 5.1% of the square footage in our owned portfolio are scheduled to expire during 2022 and 2023, respectively.

As the second quarter of 2022 begins, we believe that our operating properties are stabilized, with a balanced lease expiration schedule, and that existing vacancy is being actively marketed to numerous potential tenants.

While leasing activity at our properties has continued, we believe that geopolitical events and the COVID-19 outbreak and related containment and mitigation measures may limit or delay new tenant leasing during at least the second quarter of 2022 and potentially in future periods.

As of June 30, 2022, leases for approximately 1.8% and 5.5% of the square footage in our owned portfolio are scheduled to expire during 2022 and 2023, respectively.

As the third quarter of 2022 begins, we believe that our operating properties are stabilized, with a balanced lease expiration schedule, and that existing vacancy is being actively marketed to numerous potential tenants.

While leasing activity at our properties has continued, we believe that the impact of geopolitical events and current economic conditions and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit or delay new tenant leasing during at least the third quarter of 2022 and potentially in future periods.

While we cannot generally predict when an existing vacancy in our owned portfolio will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at then-current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which could be above or below the expiring rates.
