Impact of COVID-19

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by ordering closure of nonessential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings, have resulted in many of our tenants announcing mandated or temporary closures of their operations and/or requesting adjustments to their lease terms. Experts predict that the COVID-19 pandemic will trigger a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession. COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on or cause disruption to our business or financial condition, results from operations, cash flows and the market value and trading price of our securities.

While the Company’s grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and home improvement stores generally remain open, restaurants, if open, are operating at limited capacity, with many offering only delivery and curbside pick-up, and most health, beauty supply and services, fitness centers, and other non-essential businesses are in various phases of re-opening depending on location. The Company is generally not charging late fees or delinquent interest on past due rent payments and, in many cases, rent deferral agreements are being negotiated to allow tenants temporary relief where needed. As of February 23, 2021, payments by tenants of contractual base rent and operating expense and real estate tax recoveries totaled approximately 94% for the fourth quarter of 2020.

The following is a summary of the Company's consolidated total collections of fourth quarter 2020 rent billings, including minimum rent, operating expense recoveries, and real estate tax reimbursements as of February 23, 2021:

▪Additionally, rent deferral agreements comprising approximately 0.5% of 2020 fourth quarter total billings have been executed. The executed deferrals typically cover three months of rent and are generally scheduled to be repaid during 2021 and 2022. As a condition to granted rent deferrals, we have sought, and in some cases received, extended lease terms, or waivers of certain adjacent use or common area restrictions.

▪Through February 23, 2021, no fourth quarter deferred rents have come due. Deferrals represent 9% of the total unpaid balance for the quarter.
