The Life Storage Merger

On July 20, 2023, the Company closed its merger with Life Storage (the “Life Storage Merger”), which included 757 wholly-owned stores and one consolidated joint venture store. Under the terms of the Life Storage Merger, Life Storage stockholders and holders of units of the Life Storage operating partnership received 0.895 of a share of common stock (or OP Unit, as applicable) of the Company for each issued and outstanding share (or operating partnership unit) of Life Storage they owned for total equity consideration of $11,602,808, based on the Company's closing share price on July 19, 2023. At closing, the Company retired $1,160,000 in balances on Life Storage's line of credit which included $375,000 that Life Storage used to pay off its private placement notes in connection with the closing of the Life Storage Merger. The Company also paid off $32,000 in secured loans. On July 25, 2023, the Company completed obligor exchange offers and consent solicitations (together the “Exchange Offers”) related to Life Storage's various senior notes. Upon the closing of the Exchange Offers, a total of $2,351,100 of Life Storage's senior notes were exchanged for senior notes of the same tenor of Extra Space Storage L.P. The remaining Life Storage senior note balances which were not exchanged total $48,900 and no longer have any financial reporting requirements or covenants.

Fair Value Measurement

The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were primarily based on information that was available as of the closing date of the Life Storage Merger. The methodology used to estimate the fair values to apply purchase accounting and the ongoing financial statement impact, if any, are summarized below.

Real estate assets – Real estate assets acquired were recorded at fair value using standard valuation methodologies, including the cost and market approaches. The remaining useful lives for real estate assets, excluding land, were reset to 39 years. Tenant relationships for storage leases were recorded at fair value based on estimated costs the Company avoided to replace them. Tenant relationships are amortized to expense over 18 months, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with turnover in its stores.
Equity investment in joint venture partnerships - Equity investment in joint venture partnerships were recorded at fair value based on a direct capitalization of net operating income.
Intangible assets - other – Customer relationships relating to tenant reinsurance contracts were recorded at fair value based on the income approach which estimates the potential revenue loss the Company avoided to replace them. These assets are amortized to expense over 36 months, which is based on the Company’s historical experience with average length of stay for tenants.
Trade name – Trade names were recorded at fair value based on royalty payments avoided had the trade name been owned by a third party. This is determined using market royalty rates and a discounted cash flow analysis under the relief-from-royalty method. This method incorporates various assumptions, including projected revenue growth rates, the terminal growth rate, the royalty rate to be applied, and the discount rate utilized. The trade name is an indefinite lived asset and as such is not amortized.
Unsecured senior notes – Unsecured senior notes were recorded at fair value using readily available market data. The below-market value of debt is recorded as a debt discount and reported as a reduction of the unsecured senior notes balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount is amortized using effective interest method as an increase to interest expense over the remaining terms of the unsecured senior notes.
Other assets and liabilities – the carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities represented the fair values.
