Universal Shelf Registration Statement. In August 2020, NNN filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") which permits the issuance by NNN of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities.

Firm Commitment Underwritten Common Stock Issuance. In September 2019, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2018 shelf registration statement and issued 7,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $56.50 per share and received net proceeds of $379,410,000. In connection with this offering, NNN incurred stock issuance costs totaling approximately $16,090,000, consisting primarily of underwriters' fees and commissions, legal and accounting fees and printing expenses.
