Such geographic concentrations could be heightened by the fact that our investments may be concentrated in certain areas that are affected by epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19 more than other areas.
Added
Certain provisions of the Company’s leases may be unenforceable. The Company’s rights and obligations with respect to its leases are governed by written agreements with its tenants.
Removed
We may not have the liquidity or ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the 2025 Notes or purchase the 2025 Notes as required upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon a purchase or conversion of the 2025 Notes. ​ Following certain potential events qualifying as a fundamental change under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, including a change in control, holders of 2025 Notes will have the right to require us to purchase their 2025 Notes for cash.
Added
To the extent we issue shares of our common stock to satisfy all or a portion of the settlement of our 2025 Notes, the settlement of some or all of the 2025 Notes will dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.
Removed
A fundamental change may also constitute an event of default or a prepayment event under, and result in the acceleration of the maturity of, our then-existing indebtedness.
Added
If an uninsured loss occurs or a loss exceeds policy limits, the Company could lose both its invested capital and anticipated revenues from the property, thereby reducing the Company’s cash flow, impairing the value of the impacted income properties and adversely impacting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. 36 Table of Contents ​ Property insurance costs may continue to increase, and in some cases insurance may not be available.
Removed

Added
In the past few years, the costs of property insurance have increased significantly, and these increased costs have had an adverse effect on us. In addition, in some instances, property insurance may be unavailable altogether.
Removed
There is no assurance that we will have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing, to pay the fundamental change purchase price or make cash payments upon conversion.
Added
Increased insurance costs or the unavailability of some insurance coverages altogether have adversely affected our ability to profitably operate and dispose of our income properties, as well as the ability of the owners of the properties that secure our commercial loans and other investments to profitably operate and dispose of those properties.
Removed
In addition, restrictions in our then existing credit facilities or other indebtedness, if any, may not allow us to purchase the 2025 Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversion.
Added
Market conditions may also limit the scope of insurance or coverage available to us or the owners of the properties that secure our commercial loans and other investments on economic terms.
Removed
Our failure to purchase the 2025 Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversion thereof when required would result in an event of default with respect to the 2025 Notes which could, in turn, constitute a default under the terms of our other indebtedness, if any.
Added
Any uninsured loss with respect to a property relating to one of our investments could result in the corresponding non-performance of or loss on our investment related to such property.
Added
Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect our performance. Political leaders in the U.S. and certain foreign countries have recently been elected on protectionist platforms, fueling doubts about the future of global free trade.
Added
The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate certain existing trade agreements with foreign countries.

Added
AI is developing at a rapid pace and becoming more accessible.
Added
As a result, the use of such new technologies by us or our service providers or counterparties can present additional known and unknown risks, including, among others, the risk that confidential information may be stolen, misappropriated or disclosed and the risk that we, our service providers and/or our counterparties may rely on incorrect, unclear or biased outputs generated by such technologies, any of which could have an adverse impact on us and our business.
Added
See “—Artificial intelligence and other machine learning techniques could increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our business in ways that we cannot predict.” ​ Artificial intelligence and other machine learning techniques could increase competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our business in ways that we cannot predict. ​ The use of AI by us and others, and the overall adoption of AI throughout society, may exacerbate or create new and unpredictable competitive, operational, legal and regulatory risks to our business.
Added
There is substantial uncertainty about the extent to which AI will result in dramatic changes throughout the world, and we may not be able to anticipate, prevent, mitigate or remediate all of the potential risks, challenges or impacts of such changes. These changes could potentially disrupt, among other things, our business model, investment strategies and operational processes.
Added
Some of our competitors may be more successful than us in the development and implementation of new technologies, including services and platforms based on AI, to improve their operations.
Added
If we are unable to adequately advance our capabilities in these areas, or do so at a slower pace than others in our industry, we may be at a competitive disadvantage. 40 Table of Contents If the data we, or third parties whose services we rely on, use in connection with the possible development or deployment of AI is incomplete, inadequate or biased in some way, the performance of our business could suffer.
Added
In addition, recent technological advances in AI both present opportunities and pose risks to us. Data in technology that uses AI may contain a degree of inaccuracy and error, which could result in flawed algorithms in various models used in our business.
Added
The volume and reliance on data and algorithms also make AI more susceptible to cybersecurity threats, including data poisoning and the compromise of underlying models, training data or other intellectual property. Our personnel or the personnel of our service providers could, without being known to us, improperly utilize AI and machine learning-technology while carrying out their responsibilities.
Added
This could reduce the effectiveness of AI technologies and adversely impact us and our operations to the extent that we rely on the AI’s work product. ​ There is also a risk that AI may be misused or misappropriated by third parties we engage.
Added
For example, a user may input confidential information, including material non-public information or personally identifiable information, into AI applications, resulting in the information becoming a part of a dataset that is accessible by third-party technology applications and users, including our competitors.
Added
Further, we may not be able to control how third-party AI that we choose to use is developed or maintained, or how data we input is used or disclosed. The misuse or misappropriation of our data could have an adverse impact on our reputation and could subject us to legal and regulatory investigations or actions or create competitive risk.
Added
In addition, the use of AI by us or others may require compliance with legal or regulatory frameworks that are not fully developed or tested, and we may face litigation and regulatory actions related to our use of AI.
