Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that are intended to be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of, and to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "project," "continue," or other similar words or terms and include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's intentions with respect to a private offering. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual actions we take with respect to and/or the nature of the private offering to be materially different from the intentions and expectations expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Among these risks and uncertainties are unanticipated developments that prevent, delay or negatively impact the private offering, as well as the negative impact of increased inflation, changes in interest rates, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and/or the ongoing conflict in the Middle East on our financial condition and results of operations being more significant than expected, general economic and business (particularly real estate and capital market) conditions being less favorable than expected, the business opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us, changes in laws or regulations (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts ("REITs")), risk of acquisitions, availability and creditworthiness of prospective customers, availability of capital (debt and equity), interest rate fluctuations, competition, supply and demand for properties in current and any proposed market areas in which we invest, our customers' ability and willingness to pay rent at current or increased levels, accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs, environmental, regulatory and/or safety requirements, customer bankruptcies and defaults, the availability and cost of comprehensive insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For a further discussion of these factors and other risk factors that could lead to actual results that are materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, see "Risk Factors" under Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.
