In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which the Underwriters exercised in full on September 16, 2021.

In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company and the Operating Partnership made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants and agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities.

The Company's total net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company including the structuring fee, are expected to be approximately $47.7 million.

The Company intends to contribute the net proceeds from the Offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a new class of 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (the 'Series A Preferred Units'), which will have economic interests that are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company, acting through the Operating Partnership, intends to use the net proceeds from such contribution for general corporate purposes, which may include purchases of additional properties and other real estate and real estate-related assets.
