Risks Related to Qualification and Operation as a REIT If we fail to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders would be adversely impacted. We intend to continue to be organized and to operate to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make, and, in certain cases, maintain ownership of certain attractive investments. To the extent that our distributions represent a return of capital for tax purposes, you could recognize an increased capital gain upon a subsequent sale of your stock.
Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to make, and, in certain cases, maintain ownership of certain attractive investments.
These and other limitations may affect our ability to sell or re-lease properties without adversely affecting returns to our stockholders. Many of our tenants are lower middle market businesses, which exposes us to additional risks unique to these entities.
Many of our tenants are lower middle market businesses, which exposes us to additional risks specific to these entities.
This loss of income could cause a material adverse impact to our results of operations and business. Multi-tenant properties are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuation in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating results.
Our multi-tenant properties could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of suitable tenants may not be found to enable the property to operate profitably. This loss of income could cause a material adverse impact to our results of operations and business.
We intend to continue to be organized and to operate to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A REIT generally is not taxed at the corporate level on income it currently distributes to its stockholders.

Removed
A significant change in interest rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Changes relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt in our portfolio.
Added
We recognized impairment charges of $19.3 million, $12.1 million, and $0.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Removed
LIBOR has been largely replaced by SOFR as the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. LIBOR is still expected to be phased out in mid-2023, when private-sector banks are no longer required to report the information used to set the rate.
Added
We have no employees, and are therefore dependent on the senior management and other key management members who are employed by our Adviser or Administrator, as applicable, to carry out our business and investment strategies.
Removed
Without this data, LIBOR may no longer be published, or the lack of quality and quantity of data may cause the rate to no longer be representative of the market. Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve, in combination with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, recommended replacing U.S.-dollar LIBOR with SOFR.
Added
Our success depends on the performance of our Adviser and if our Adviser makes inadvisable investment or management decisions, our operations could be materially adversely impacted.
Removed
SOFR is a more generic measure than LIBOR and considers the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
Added
Under the amendment of the Advisory Agreement dated July 11, 2023, our Advisor was not entitled to receive an incentive fee for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. No waivers were required, as the incentive fees for the 12-month period were contractually eliminated.
Removed
At December 31, 2022, all of our variable rate debt was based upon SOFR, with the exception of $41.8 million of hedged variable rate mortgages still based on LIBOR, which we are planning to transition to SOFR prior to the targeted mid-2023 phase out of LIBOR.
Added
Legislation or regulations adopted in the future may impose further burdens or restrictions on us with respect to improved access by disabled persons.
