−Removed: on Offering and ATM Program

−Removed: at $13.00 per share.
−Removed: On July 17, 2020, the underwriters purchased an additional 521,840 shares pursuant to a 30-day option to
−Removed: purchase up to an additional 525,000 shares at $13.00 per share, or the July Additional Shares.

−Removed: approximately $49.4 million in net proceeds after deducting approximately $2.9 million in underwriting discounts and before
−Removed: giving effect to $0.9 million in other estimated expenses relating to the July Follow-on Offering.

−Removed: of a written notice from us, in privately negotiated transactions.
−Removed: are an internally managed REIT with a focus on acquiring and managing properties primarily leased to the USPS.
−Removed: We believe the
−Removed: overall opportunity for consolidation that exists within the postal logistics network is very attractive.
−Removed: We continue to execute
−Removed: our strategy to acquire and consolidate postal properties that will generate strong earnings for our shareholders.
−Removed: Concentration
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we owned a portfolio of 726 postal
−Removed: properties located in 47 states leased primarily to the USPS.
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2020, 10.0% of our total of rental
−Removed: income was concentrated in Pennsylvania.
−Removed: Such geographical concentration could expose the Company to certain downturns in the economies
−Removed: of those states or other changes in such states’
−Removed: respective real estate market conditions.
−Removed: Any material changes in the current
−Removed: payments programs or regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in any of these areas could have an effect on
−Removed: our overall business results.
−Removed: In the event of negative economic or other changes in any of these markets, our business, financial
−Removed: condition and results of operations, our ability to make distributions to our shareholders and the trading price of our common
−Removed: shares may be adversely affected.
−Removed: Growth Company
−Removed: are an “emerging growth company,”
−Removed: as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act and
−Removed: we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public
−Removed: companies that are not “emerging growth companies,”
−Removed: including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
−Removed: requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
−Removed: in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
−Removed: compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company”
−Removed: can take advantage of the extended transition
−Removed: period provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised
−Removed: accounting standards.
−Removed: In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until
−Removed: those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
−Removed: We have availed ourselves of these exemptions;
−Removed: although, subject to
−Removed: certain restrictions, we may elect to stop availing ourselves of these exemptions in the future even while we remain an “emerging
−Removed: growth company.”
−Removed: will remain an “emerging growth company”
−Removed: until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during
−Removed: which our total annual revenue equals or exceeds $1.07 billion (subject to periodic adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day
−Removed: of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year
−Removed: period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated
−Removed: under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
−Removed: are also a “smaller reporting company”
−Removed: as defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and have elected to take
−Removed: advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies.
−Removed: We may continue to be a smaller reporting company
−Removed: even after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
−Removed: elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code beginning with our short taxable year ending December 31, 2019.
−Removed: As long as we qualify
−Removed: as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that we distribute our taxable income for each
−Removed: tax year to our stockholders.
−Removed: That May Influence Future Results of Operations
−Removed: are dependent on the USPS’s financial and operational stability.
−Removed: The USPS is currently facing a variety of circumstances
−Removed: that are threatening its ability to fund its operations and other obligations as currently conducted without intervention by the
−Removed: federal government.
−Removed: The USPS is constrained by laws and regulations that restrict
−Removed: revenue sources, mandate certain expenses and cap its borrowing capacity.
−Removed: As a result, the USPS is unable to fund its mandated
−Removed: expenses and continues to be subject to mandated payments to its retirement system and health benefits for current workers and
−Removed: The USPS has taken the position that productivity improvements and cost reduction measures alone without legislative
−Removed: and regulatory intervention will not be sufficient to maintain the ability to meet all of its existing obligations when due.
−Removed: although the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, as amended by Public Law 116-260, the Consolidated Appropriations
−Removed: Act, 2021, includes a $10.0 billion loan to the USPS, there can be no assurances that this financing will be sufficient to sustain
−Removed: USPS operations in light of current shortfalls resulting from reduced mail volumes.
−Removed: ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures being taken to prevent its spread has resulted in a reduction in foot traffic in many public
−Removed: places, including postal properties.
−Removed: A continued reduction in the use of in-person services may reduce the demand for postal properties
−Removed: by the USPS and our results of operations could decline as a result.
−Removed: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has also caused a decline in
−Removed: mail volume, particularly in advertising conducted through the mail, which may adversely affect the USPS’s financial condition,
−Removed: and therefore the demand for postal properties.
−Removed: Continued reduction or permanent changes to mail volume could reduce demand for
−Removed: postal properties and materially adversely affect our result of operations.
−Removed: as a result of the proposed and executed operational, managerial and strategic changes within the USPS and the ongoing COVID-19
−Removed: pandemic, which significantly increased the number of absentee ballots utilized for the 2020 presidential election, the USPS is
−Removed: the focal point of recent litigation.
−Removed: As of the date of this report, several lawsuits have been filed against Mr.
−Removed: DeJoy, the USPS
−Removed: and former President Donald Trump pertaining to operational changes at the USPS, mail delays and mail-in voting for the 2020 presidential
−Removed: If, as a result of any backlogs, political rhetoric or litigation, the USPS suffers reputational or financial harm or
−Removed: an increase in regulatory scrutiny, the demand for USPS services may decline, which may lead to reduced demand for USPS properties.
−Removed: The results of these changes or any future changes could lead to additional delays or financing shortfalls for the USPS.
−Removed: We derive revenues primarily from rent and tenant reimbursements
−Removed: under leases with the USPS for our properties, and fee and other income under the management agreements with respect to the postal
−Removed: properties owned by Mr.
−Removed: Spodek, his family members and their partners managed by PRM, our TRS.
−Removed: Rental income represents the lease
−Removed: revenue recognized under leases with the USPS which includes the impact of above and below market lease intangibles.
−Removed: Tenant reimbursements
−Removed: primarily represents payments made by the USPS under the leases to reimburse us for the majority of real estate taxes paid at each
−Removed: Fee and other income principally represent revenue PRM receives from postal properties owned by Mr.
−Removed: Spodek, his family
−Removed: members and their partners pursuant to the management agreements and is a percentage of the lease revenue for the managed property.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, all properties leased to the USPS had an average remaining lease term of 3.7 years.
−Removed: Factors that could
−Removed: affect our rental income, tenant reimbursement and fee and other income in the future include, but are not limited to:
−Removed: ability to renew or replace expiring leases and management agreements;
−Removed: (ii) local, regional or national economic conditions;
−Removed: an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, postal space;
−Removed: (iv) changes in market rental rates;
−Removed: (v) changes to the USPS’s
−Removed: current property leasing program or form of lease;
−Removed: and (vi) our ability to provide adequate services and maintenance at our properties
−Removed: and managed properties.
−Removed: lease our properties to the USPS.
−Removed: The majority of our leases are modified double-net leases, whereby the USPS is responsible for
−Removed: utilities, routine maintenance and the reimbursement of property taxes and the landlord is responsible for insurance and roof
−Removed: and structure.
−Removed: Thus, an increase in costs related to the landlord’s responsibilities under these leases could negatively
−Removed: influence our operating results.
−Removed: Refer to “Lease Renewal”
−Removed: for further discussion.
−Removed: expenses generally consist of real estate taxes, property operating expenses, which consist of insurance, repairs and maintenance
−Removed: (other than those for which the tenant is responsible), property maintenance-related payroll and depreciation and amortization.
−Removed: Factors that may affect our ability to control these operating costs include but are not limited to:
−Removed: the cost of periodic repair,
−Removed: renovation costs, the cost of re-leasing space and the potential for liability under applicable laws.
−Removed: Recoveries from the tenant
−Removed: are recognized as revenue on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related expenditures are incurred.
−Removed: Tenant reimbursements
−Removed: and operating expenses are recognized on a gross basis, because (i) generally, we are the primary obligor with respect to the
−Removed: real estate taxes and (ii) we bear the credit risk in the event the tenant does not reimburse the real estate taxes.
−Removed: expenses of owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances, such as market factors and competition,
−Removed: cause a reduction in income from the property.
−Removed: If revenues drop, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly.
−Removed: associated with real estate investments generally will not be materially reduced even if a property is not fully occupied or other
−Removed: circumstances cause our revenues to decrease.
−Removed: As a result, if revenues decrease in the future, static operating costs may adversely
−Removed: affect our future cash flow and results of operations.
−Removed: and Administrative
−Removed: and administrative expense represents personnel costs, professional fees, legal fees, insurance, consulting fees, portfolio servicing
−Removed: costs and other expenses related to corporate governance, filing reports with the SEC and the NYSE, and other compliance matters.
−Removed: Our Predecessor was privately owned and historically did not incur costs that we incur as a public company.
−Removed: In addition, while
−Removed: we expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to rise as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses
−Removed: as a percentage of our revenues will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.
−Removed: Compensation Expense
−Removed: equity-based compensation expense is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as components of general
−Removed: and administrative expense and property operating expenses.
−Removed: We issue share-based awards to align our employees’
−Removed: with those of our investors.
−Removed: and Amortization
−Removed: and amortization expense relate primarily to depreciation on properties and improvements and to amortization of certain lease
−Removed: and Interest Expense
−Removed: Interest expense for our Predecessor related primarily to three
−Removed: mortgage loans payable and related party interest-only promissory notes, See Note 5—Debt of the accompanying financial statements
−Removed: for further details.
−Removed: As a result of the Formation Transactions, we assumed certain indebtedness of the Predecessor, a portion of
−Removed: which was repaid without penalty using a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO.
−Removed: On September 27, 2019, we entered into a credit
−Removed: agreement, as amended the Credit Agreement with People’s United Bank, National Association, individually and as administrative
−Removed: agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as syndication agent, and certain other lenders.
−Removed: The Credit Agreement provides for a senior revolving
−Removed: credit facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million and, subject to customary conditions,
−Removed: the option to increase the aggregate lending commitments under the agreement by up to $100.0 million, or the Accordion Feature.
−Removed: On January 30, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement in order to exercise a portion of the Accordion Feature to increase
−Removed: the maximum amount available under the Credit Facility to $150.0 million, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein
−Removed: remaining unencumbered and subject to an executed lease.
−Removed: On June 25, 2020, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to
−Removed: revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to increase available capacity, as well as the restrictive
−Removed: covenant pertaining to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in such amendment).
−Removed: On November 24, 2020, we amended the Credit
−Removed: Agreement to revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to allow Leases other than the USPS
−Removed: at a Real Property subject to certain limitations (as defined in such amendment).
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, the leases at 15 of our properties
−Removed: were expired and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, thereby excluding such properties from being part
−Removed: of the borrowing base under our Credit Facility.
−Removed: Subsequent to December 31, 2020, we executed all leases for these 15 properties.
−Removed: We intend to use the Credit Facility for working capital purposes, which may include repayment of mortgage indebtedness, property
−Removed: acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
−Removed: Consistent with the method adopted by our Predecessor, we amortize on a non-cash
−Removed: basis the deferred financing costs associated with its debt to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates
−Removed: the effective interest rate method over the terms of the related loans.
−Removed: Any changes to the debt structure, including debt financing
−Removed: associated with property acquisitions, could materially influence the operating results depending on the terms of any such indebtedness.
−Removed: Tax Benefit (Expense)
−Removed: a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders.
−Removed: Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute
−Removed: each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding
−Removed: any net capital gains.
−Removed: If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory
−Removed: relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we would be disqualified from taxation
−Removed: as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT.
−Removed: Even though we qualify as
−Removed: a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on our income and assets and to federal
−Removed: income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
−Removed: Additionally, any income earned by PRM and any other TRS we form in the future,
−Removed: will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, the leases at 15 of our properties
−Removed: were expired and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant.
−Removed: See “Item 2.
−Removed: Properties—
−Removed: Lease Expiration
−Removed: Schedule”.
−Removed: As of March 30, 2021, 11 leases were in holdover status representing $0.2 million of annual rental revenue.
−Removed: might not be successful in renewing the leases that are in holdover status or that are expiring in 2021, or obtaining positive
−Removed: rent renewal spreads, or even renewing the leases on terms comparable to those of the expiring leases.
−Removed: If we are not successful,
−Removed: we will likely experience reduced occupancy, traffic, rental revenue and net operating income, which could have a material adverse
−Removed: effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to shareholders.
−Removed: of Operations
−Removed: of the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
−Removed: Our results of operations
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2020 include our consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

−Removed: December 31, 2019 and combined consolidated results of our Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2019 through May
−Removed: We incurred a net loss of $0.6 million in 2020 and a loss of $2.0 million since the completion of our IPO on May
−Removed: 17, 2019 through December 31, 2019, which includes the loss on early extinguishment of our Predecessor’s debt of $0.2 million
−Removed: and equity-based compensation of approximately $1.0 million.
−Removed: See Note 3—Real Estate Acquisitions of the accompanying financial
−Removed: statements for information regarding our real estate acquisition activity during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

−Removed: of 2020 and the effects of the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
−Removed: Rental income
−Removed: Rental income increased $11.4 million year over year primarily due to the properties that we acquired in connection with

−Removed: the completion of our IPO.
−Removed: Tenant reimbursements
−Removed: Tenant reimbursements increased $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December

−Removed: Fee and other income .
−Removed: Other revenue increased by $0.2 million, to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2019 primarily due to higher insurance recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2020, offset by lower miscellaneous income.
−Removed: Real estate taxes
−Removed: Real estate taxes increased by $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2019 as a result of the properties that we acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions being part of our portfolio for
−Removed: all of 2020 and the effects of the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
−Removed: Property operating
−Removed: expenses –
−Removed: Property operating expenses increased by $0.7 million to $1.9 million for December 31, 2020 from $1.2 million

−Removed: by $0.1 million to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: remainder of the increase of $0.6 million is related to expenses related to repairs and maintenance and insurance that we were
−Removed: acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions being part of our portfolio for all of 2020 and the effects of the properties
−Removed: that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
−Removed: and administrative –
−Removed: General and administrative expenses increased by $3.4 million to $8.2 million for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2020 from $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to higher professional fees and increased
−Removed: personnel and investor relations expenses as a result of being a public company.
−Removed: In addition, equity-based compensation expense
−Removed: increased by $1.2 million for year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, due to additional equity-based
−Removed: compensation expense for awards that have been granted since our IPO.
−Removed: Depreciation and
−Removed: amortization –
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $5.4 million to $9.2 million for the year ended December
−Removed: 31, 2020 from $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, and is primarily related to the properties that we acquired as
−Removed: part of the Formation Transactions being part of our portfolio for all of 2020 and the effects of the properties that we acquired
−Removed: since the completion of our IPO.
−Removed: Interest Expense, Net
−Removed: During the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2020, we incurred total interest expense, net of $2.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the year ended December
−Removed: The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the interest incurred on increased borrowings from the Credit
−Removed: Facility entered into in September 2019 and the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Credit Facility.
−Removed: This increase
−Removed: is offset by a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million incurred in connection with the IPO during the year ended December
−Removed: of the year ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019

−Removed: December 31, 2020 compared to $82.1 million provided by the same period in 2019.
−Removed: The increase was primarily related to
−Removed: higher net borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2020 offset by lower proceeds from equity offerings and higher payments
−Removed: of dividends since our IPO.
−Removed: and Capital Resources
−Removed: of Liquidity and Capital Resources
−Removed: had approximately $2.2 million of cash and $1.1 million of escrows and reserves as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: of December 31, 2020, we had $78.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility.
−Removed: On January 30, 2020, we exercised the accordion
−Removed: feature on the Credit Facility to increase permitted borrowings to $150.0 million from $100.0 million subject to the borrowing
−Removed: base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an executed lease.
−Removed: On June 25, 2020, the Company further

−Removed: to allow Leases other than the USPS at a Real Property subject to certain limitations (as defined in such amendment).
−Removed: to use our Credit Facility for working capital purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, property acquisitions and
−Removed: other general corporate purposes.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, the leases at 15 of our properties had expired and the USPS was occupying
−Removed: such properties as a holdover tenant, thereby excluding such properties from being part of the borrowing base under our Credit
−Removed: Credit Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company, or the
−Removed: Subsidiary Guarantors, and includes a pledge of equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors.
−Removed: The Credit Agreement contains customary
−Removed: covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens on
−Removed: assets, make certain types of investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, sell assets, enter into hedging

−Removed: The Credit Agreement requires compliance
−Removed: with consolidated financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, including a maximum consolidated secured indebtedness
−Removed: ratio, maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum consolidated tangible net
−Removed: worth, maximum dividend payout ratio, maximum consolidated unsecured leverage ratio, and minimum debt service coverage ratio.

−Removed: Credit Facility, any event or condition that makes other material indebtedness due prior to its scheduled maturity, the failure
−Removed: to satisfy certain covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
−Removed: short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties,
−Removed: distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures
−Removed: and, potentially, acquisitions.
−Removed: We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations,
−Removed: cash, borrowings under our Credit Facility and the potential issuance of securities.
−Removed: long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions
−Removed: and non-recurring capital improvements.
−Removed: We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations,
−Removed: long-term indebtedness including our Credit Facility and mortgage financing, the issuance of equity and debt securities and proceeds
−Removed: from select sales of our properties.
−Removed: We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Credit
−Removed: Facility pending permanent property-level financing.
−Removed: believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of
−Removed: additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities.
−Removed: However, in the future, there may be a number of factors that
−Removed: could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including unfavorable conditions in the
−Removed: overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base, borrowing restrictions imposed by our
−Removed: lenders, general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance, liquidity and market perceptions about us.
−Removed: of our business strategy will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to access these various capital sources.
−Removed: we continuously evaluate possible acquisitions of postal properties, which largely depend on, among other things, the market for
−Removed: owning and leasing postal properties and the terms on which the USPS will enter into new or renewed leases.
−Removed: maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make distributions to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our
−Removed: REIT taxable income determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gains.
−Removed: As a result of
−Removed: this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are
−Removed: If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to
−Removed: find alternative ways to fund those needs.
−Removed: Such alternatives may include, among other things, divesting ourselves of properties
−Removed: (whether or not the sales price is optimal or otherwise meets our strategic long-term objectives), incurring indebtedness or issuing
−Removed: equity securities in public or private transactions, the availability and attractiveness of the terms of which cannot be assured.
