Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information in Item 8.01 below is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 28, 2019, NSA OP, LP (the "Operating Partnership") issued 114,454 6.000% Series A-1 cumulative redeemable preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Series A-1 Preferred Units") as partial consideration for the acquisition of two self storage properties from unrelated third parties.
Following a specified lock up period after the date of issuance set forth above, the Series A-1 Preferred Units issued by the Operating Partnership may be redeemed from time to time by the holders for a cash amount per Series A-1 Preferred Unit equal to the market value of an equivalent number of 6.000% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest ("Series A Preferred Shares") of National Storage Affiliates Trust (the "Company"). The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to assume and satisfy the redemption obligation of the Operating Partnership described above by issuing one Series A Preferred Share in exchange for each Series A-1 Preferred Unit tendered for redemption.
As of May 29, 2019, after reflecting the transaction described herein, 616,372 Series A-1 Preferred Units were issued and outstanding.
The issuance described above was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
