Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”), including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the timing of any future liquidity event; our corporate strategy and estimated or future economic performance and results, including our expectations surrounding the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects; the amount and timing of any future distributions; our capital structure, future capital expenditure levels (including any plans to fund our future liquidity needs), and future leverage and debt service obligations; statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements and other regulatory activity; and the general economic outlook, including the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

These statements are based on the current expectations of our management. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable risks or uncertainties, like the risks related to the effects of pandemics and global outbreaks of contagious diseases (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic) or the fear of such outbreaks, could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements, or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”). Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, among other factors. We earn revenue primarily by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, predominantly on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. We derive self-storage revenue from rents received from customers who rent storage space primarily under month-to-month leases for personal or business use. We earn student housing operating revenue primarily from leases of one year or less with individual students. Revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA:18 Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and as of September 30, 2021 we owned 99.97% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of WPC.

As of September 30, 2021, our net lease portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 54 properties, substantially all of which were fully occupied and triple-net leased to 66 tenants totaling 10.5 million square feet. The remainder of our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 65 self-storage properties, three student housing development projects (two of which will become subject to net lease agreements upon their completion) and one student housing operating property, totaling approximately 5.1 million square feet.

We operate in three reportable business segments: Net Lease, Self Storage, and Other Operating Properties. Our Net Lease segment includes our investments in net-leased properties, whether they are accounted for as operating leases or direct financing leases. Our Self Storage segment is comprised of our investments in self-storage properties. Our Other Operating Properties segment is comprised of our investments in student housing properties. In addition, we have an All Other category that is comprised of our notes receivable investment. Our reportable business segments and All Other category are the same as our reporting units (Note 13).

We raised aggregate gross proceeds in our initial public offering of approximately $1.2 billion through April 2, 2015, which is the date we closed our offering. We have fully invested the proceeds from our offering. In addition, from inception through September 30, 2021, $217.2 million and $62.6 million of distributions to our shareholders were reinvested in our Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, through our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”).

On August 31, 2021, we reported that our independent directors intended to begin the process of evaluating possible liquidity alternatives for our stockholders, which included an unsolicited preliminary proposal for a potential business combination transaction received from affiliates of our Advisor. The independent directors have formed a special committee and retained advisors. There can be no assurance as to the form or timing of any liquidity alternative or that any alternative may be pursued at all for the foreseeable future. We do not intend to discuss the evaluation process unless and until a particular alternative is selected.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the 2020 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. There have been no significant changes in our VIE policies from what was disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we considered ten and 15 entities to be VIEs, respectively, all of which we consolidated as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Real estate — Land, buildings and improvements	$	351,602	$	427,129
Operating real estate — Land, buildings and improvements	78,933		78,927

Foreign Currencies

We are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar (primarily the euro, the Norwegian krone, and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling). The following table reflects the end-of-period rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Percent Change
British Pound Sterling	$	1.3456	$	1.3649	(1.4)	%
Euro	1.1579		1.2271		(5.6)	%
Norwegian Krone	0.1139		0.1172		(2.8)	%

Revenue Recognition

Lease revenue (including straight-line lease revenue) is only recognized when deemed probable of collection. Collectibility is assessed for each tenant receivable using various criteria including credit ratings, guarantees, past collection issues, and the current economic and business environment affecting the tenant. If collectibility of the contractual rent stream is not deemed probable, revenue will only be recognized upon receipt of cash from the tenant. Due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not recognize uncollected rent within lease revenues of $1.6 million and $8.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $3.6 million and $6.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we wrote off $7.0 million in straight-line rent receivables based on our assessment of less than a 75% likelihood of collecting all remaining contractual rent on certain net lease hotels.

Our straight-line rent receivables totaled $21.1 million and $19.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	93,477	$	62,346
Restricted cash (a)	29,776		57,367
Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	123,253	$	119,713

__________

(a)Restricted cash is included within Other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount as of December 31, 2020 included $30.4 million of net proceeds held in escrow relating to the disposition of our equity method investment in real estate (Note 4). These funds were released from escrow in February 2021.

Deferred Income Taxes

Our deferred tax liabilities were $44.8 million and $50.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, were $2.2 million and $2.4 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in Other assets, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. On January 7, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the transition. We have evaluated our contracts that are referenced to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other reference rates expected to be discontinued and we expect to account for any necessary modifications with a replacement reference rate using the expedients and exceptions provided for in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01. We are evaluating the impact these standards may have on our financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with Our Advisor

We have an advisory agreement with our Advisor whereby our Advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement, as discussed in detail in the 2020 Annual Report.

We have an unsecured revolving line of credit with WPC with a borrowing capacity of $50.0 million and a scheduled maturity date of March 31, 2022. The line of credit bears an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.05%, which is the rate at which WPC can borrow funds under its senior credit facility (including an annual facility fee of 0.20%). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid in full the $21.1 million outstanding balance on the line of credit (including accrued interest), which was the amount outstanding at December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, we have no amounts drawn on the line of credit.

Jointly Owned Investments

As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we owned interests ranging from 50% to 99% in 16 jointly owned investments, with the remaining interests held by WPC (four investments) or by third parties. Since no other parties hold any rights that supersede our control, we consolidate all of these joint ventures.

Other Transactions with our Affiliates

The following tables present a summary of fees we paid, expenses we reimbursed, and distributions we made to our Advisor and other affiliates in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements, as discussed in the 2020 Annual Report (in thousands):

Asset Management Fees

For any portion of asset management fees our Advisor receives in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share (“NAV”) per Class A share, which was $8.91 as of June 30, 2021. From January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020, at our option our Advisor received 50% of the asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock and 50% in cash. Effective April 1, 2020, at our option our Advisor receives all of its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2021, our Advisor owned 7,983,966 shares of our Class A common stock, or 5.3% of our total Class A and Class C shares outstanding. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

Our Advisor receives acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition, while the remaining portion is subordinated to a preferred return of a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). The preferred return was achieved as of the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Unpaid installments of deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliates in the condensed consolidated financial statements and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0%.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Advisor has waived its right to disposition fees with respect to sales and dispositions of single investments and portfolios of investments. The Advisor may still be entitled to disposition fees in connection with a transaction or series of transactions related to a merger, liquidation, or other event, at the discretion of our board of directors.

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the advisory agreement, the amount of applicable personnel costs allocated to us is capped at 1.0% of our pro rata total revenues for each of 2021 and 2020. Our Advisor allocates overhead expenses to us based upon the percentage of the Advisor’s full-time employee equivalents that are attributable to us, to be reviewed annually by us and the Advisor. In general, personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Available Cash Distributions

WPC’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to receive distributions of up to 10.0% of the available cash generated by the Operating Partnership (the “Available Cash Distribution”), which is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. Available Cash Distributions are included in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes Receivable

As of September 30, 2021, our notes receivable was comprised of a $28.0 million mezzanine tranche of 10-year commercial mortgage-backed securities on the Cipriani banquet halls in New York, New York, with a maturity date of July 2024. The mezzanine tranche is subordinated to a $60.0 million senior loan on the properties. Interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum are due through its maturity date. As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance for this note receivable remained $28.0 million. On July 28, 2020, we were notified that the borrower had defaulted on the mortgage loan senior to our mezzanine tranche, and since that date through September 30, 2021 we have received $3.3 million from the borrower, which is recognized as a liability within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We are currently evaluating our rights and options in connection with the senior loan default and therefore have not recognized these amounts within interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, or the three months ended September 30, 2020. Interest income was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and is included in Other operating and interest income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

Net investments in our direct financing lease investments is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Lease payments receivable	$	13,289	$	14,325
Unguaranteed residual value	15,559		15,559

Less: allowance for credit losses	(485)		(485)
	$	16,891	$	16,933

Interest income from direct financing leases was $0.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in Lease revenues — net-leased in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $4.9 million due to changes in expected economic conditions for a net investment in a direct financing lease, which was included in Allowance for credit losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This allowance for credit losses was fully reversed during the fourth quarter of 2020, when the tenant emerged from bankruptcy and the investment was reclassified as an operating lease, and is therefore not reflected in the table above. We did not record an additional allowance for credit losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no significant finance receivable balances that were past due; however, we have an allowance for credit losses. Additionally, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and foreign currency collars (Note 8).

The valuation of our derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):

		September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Non-recourse secured debt, net (a) (b)	3	$	1,248,224	$	1,264,814	$	1,310,378	$	1,329,482
Notes receivable (c)	3	28,000		28,000		28,000		28,000

___________

(a)As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of Non-recourse secured debt, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $6.9 million for both periods, and unamortized premium, net of $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively (Note 9).

(b)We determined the estimated fair value of our Non-recourse secured debt, net using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates take into account interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity.

(c)We determined the estimated fair value of our Notes receivable using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor, order of payment tranches, and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 8. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own international investments, primarily in Europe, and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

There have been no significant changes in our derivative financial instrument policies from what was disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report. At both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no cash collateral had been posted or received for any of our derivative positions.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our derivative instruments (in thousands):

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income related to foreign currency derivative contracts will be reclassified to Other gains and (losses) when the hedged foreign currency contracts are settled. As of September 30, 2021, we estimated that an additional $0.9 million and $0.5 million will be reclassified as Interest expense and Other gains and (losses), respectively, during the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse secured debt and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding as of September 30, 2021 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivatives	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at September 30, 2021 (a)
Interest rate swaps	6	43,461	USD	$	(1,905)
Interest rate caps	2	59,000	GBP	16
Interest rate caps	4	61,913	EUR	14
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Interest rate swap (b)	1	8,461	EUR	(9)
				$	(1,884)

___________

(a)Fair value amount is based on the exchange rate of the respective currencies as of September 30, 2021, as applicable.

(b)This interest rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting; however, it does protect against fluctuations in interest rates related to the underlying variable-rate debt.

Foreign Currency Contracts

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro, the Norwegian krone, and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling. We manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing our debt service obligation on an investment in the same currency as the tenant’s rental obligation to us. This reduces our overall exposure to the net cash flow from that investment. However, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent that there is a difference in the timing and amount of the rental obligation and the debt service. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are included in Other gains and (losses) in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency collars. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency collars have maturities of 62 months or less.

The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding and their designations as of September 30, 2021 (currency in thousands):

Foreign Currency Derivatives	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount		Fair Value at September 30, 2021
Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Foreign currency collars	8	5,200	EUR	$	537
Foreign currency collars	6	7,500	NOK	89
				$	626

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, our total credit exposure was $0.6 million and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $0.5 million.

Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. As of September 30, 2021, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $2.0 million and $3.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Note 9. Non-Recourse Secured Debt, Net

As of September 30, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate for our total non-recourse secured debt was 3.7% (fixed-rate and variable-rate non-recourse secured debt were 3.9% and 3.2%, respectively), with maturity dates ranging from October 2021 to April 2039.

Financing Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we obtained the following non-recourse mortgage loans and construction loans in connection with certain student housing properties (dollars in thousands):

Property Location(s)	Date Obtained	Interest Rate	Rate Type	Maturity Date	Drawdowns (a)		Loan Amount (a)
Malaga, Spain (b)	3/31/2021	2.5%	Variable	12/31/2023	$	27,261	$	27,261
Swansea, United Kingdom (c)	4/6/2021	6.4%	Variable	10/5/2023	20,288		56,577
Porto, Portugal (b) (d)	4/30/2021	2.8%	Fixed	4/30/2025	16,432		18,123
Pamplona, Spain (b)	9/30/2021	2.5%	Variable	12/31/2023	19,684		19,684
							$	121,645

___________

(a)Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro or British pound sterling, as applicable, on the date of the transactions.

(b)Represents a non-recourse mortgage loan.

(c)Represents a construction loan for a student housing development project, which we currently expect to be completed in the third quarter of 2022. This loan has a one-year extension option.

(d)At closing, we drew down the first tranche of the loan of $16.4 million, which bears a fixed interest rate of 2.8%. The second tranche of $1.7 million is undrawn as of September 30, 2021, and would bear a variable interest rate equal to the Euro Interbank Offering Rate plus 2.5% when drawn.

Repayments

On September 3, 2021, we repaid a non-recourse mortgage loan of $83.3 million with an interest rate of 2.3% in connection with the disposition of two student housing operating properties encumbered by the loan (Note 12). We recognized a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million on this prepayment, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid three other non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $49.1 million and a weighted-average interest rate of 4.1%.

(a)Includes non-recourse secured debt (with a principal balance of $40.8 million as of September 30, 2021), for which, in October 2021, we extended the maturity date by one year, from October 31, 2021 to October 31, 2022.

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at September 30, 2021.

The carrying value of our Non-recourse secured debt, net decreased by $27.5 million in the aggregate from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021, reflecting the impact of exchange rate fluctuations during the same period (Note 2).

Covenants

Our non-recourse mortgage loan agreements include customary financial maintenance covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. Our compliance with such covenants depends on many factors that could be impacted by current or future economic conditions, including the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than the breaches discussed below, we were in compliance with our covenants at September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, we were in breach of a non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering a net-leased property for non-payment of a $4.1 million scheduled payment of mortgage principal (principal balance of $54.0 million as of September 30, 2021). The lender has the right to call the loan and apply any restricted cash towards the repayment of the loan. As of the date of this Report, the lender has not enforced this right and we are in separate negotiations with the lender and the tenant for the loan and lease renewal, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, we were in breach of a tenant occupancy covenant on one of our non-recourse mortgage loans (principal balance of $6.9 million as of that date) encumbering two properties net-leased to the same tenant. As a result of the breach, the lender has declared a “cash trap” for rents paid totaling $1.0 million, to be transferred to a reserve account with the lender. Although the tenant is current on rent, they are not currently occupying the property.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2021, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements of operations or results of operations.

The allocation of Net income (loss) attributable to CPA:18 – Global is calculated based on the basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for Class A and Class C common stock for each respective period. The Class C common stock allocation included less than $0.1 million of interest expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, related to the accretion of interest on the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee liability. As of December 31, 2020, we have no further obligation with respect to the distribution and shareholder servicing fee as the total underwriting compensation paid in respect to the offering reached the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority limit of 10% of the gross offering proceeds. As a result, interest expense related to the accretion of the distribution and shareholder servicing fee no longer impacts the Class C common stock.

Distributions

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our board of directors declared quarterly distributions of $0.0625 per share for both our Class A and Class C common stock, which were paid on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2021, in the amount of $9.5 million.

We may decide to dispose of a property due to a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, vacancy, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

2021 — Operating Real Estate — Land, Buildings and Improvements

On September 3, 2021, we sold two student housing operating properties located in Cardiff and Portsmouth, United Kingdom, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $147.8 million (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling on the date of disposition) and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $40.3 million (inclusive of $3.2 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest and income taxes totaling $0.4 million recognized upon sale). In connection with this disposition, we repaid the $83.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan encumbering the properties (Note 9). If certain rental metrics are achieved at these properties during the fourth quarter of 2021, we are entitled to additional disposition proceeds.

2020 — Real Estate — Land, Buildings and Improvements

On July 22, 2020, our warehouse facility located in Freetown, Massachusetts, was disposed of through eminent domain. As a result, we received condemnation proceeds, net of selling costs, of $6.1 million, and recognized a gain on sale of $3.3 million. We repaid the $3.2 million non-recourse mortgage loan previously encumbering the property using the condemnation proceeds.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2020 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”). Refer to Item 1 of the 2020 Annual Report for a description of our business.

Significant Developments

Evaluation of Possible Liquidity Alternatives

On August 31, 2021, we reported that our independent directors intended to begin the process of evaluating possible liquidity alternatives for our stockholders, which included an unsolicited preliminary proposal for a potential business combination transaction received from affiliates of our Advisor. The independent directors have formed a special committee and retained advisors. There can be no assurance as to the form or timing of any liquidity alternative or that any alternative may be pursued at all for the foreseeable future. We do not intend to discuss the evaluation process unless and until a particular alternative is selected.

COVID-19

Our Advisor continues to actively engage in discussions with our tenants and the third-party managers of our operating properties regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their business operations, liquidity, and financial position. Through the date of this Report, we received from tenants approximately 94% of contractual base rent that was due in the third quarter of 2021 (based on contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of June 30, 2021) and 96% of contractual rents due at our self-storage properties during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Given the significant uncertainty around the duration and severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact it will have on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided regarding rent collections for the third quarter of 2021 should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.

As of September 30, 2021, our debt and interest obligations due within one year totaled $241.0 million, and we expect to fund capital commitments of $65.1 million in the next year, primarily for our three student housing development projects. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our liquidity and capital resource requirements, primarily through available cash and cash equivalents, cash received under net lease and operating lease agreements (which includes nine student housing properties placed into service during 2020 and 2021), and undrawn capacity under our construction loans. If necessary, we are able to borrow up to $50.0 million under an unsecured revolving line of credit with WPC (scheduled to mature on March 31, 2022), which had no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2021 (Note 3). Additional sources of liquidity, if necessary, includes leveraging our unleveraged properties (which had an aggregate carrying value of $126.3 million as of September 30, 2021), refinancing existing debt obligations, and asset sales. To help us preserve cash, since April 1, 2020, at our option our Advisor has received all asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock (Note 3). In addition, in order to enable us to retain cash and preserve financial flexibility, (i) since the second quarter of 2020, our distributions declared for both Class A and Class C common stock were reduced from previous levels and (ii) since August 2020, we have generally limited the amount of cash available for our redemption program to the amount reinvested by stockholders in our DRIP.

Net Asset Values

Our NAVs as of June 30, 2021 were $8.91 for both our Class A and Class C common stock. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 10, 2021 and the 2020 Annual Report for additional information regarding the calculation of our NAVs. Our Advisor currently intends to determine our quarterly NAVs as of September 30, 2021 during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Financial Highlights

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we completed the following (as further described in the condensed consolidated financial statements).

Projects Placed into Service

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we completed and placed into service four student housing properties totaling $172.2 million of capitalized costs. Three of the properties are located in Spain and one is located in Portugal. All four of the properties are subject to net lease agreements with a third party (which includes fixed minimum rents), and are included in Real estate — Land, buildings and improvements in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Disposition Activity

On September 3, 2021, we sold two student housing operating properties located in Cardiff and Portsmouth, United Kingdom, for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $147.8 million (based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling on the date of disposition), and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $40.3 million (inclusive of $3.2 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest) (Note 12). In connection with this disposition, we prepaid a non-recourse mortgage loan of $83.3 million with an interest rate of 2.3% encumbering the disposed properties (Note 9).

Financing Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we obtained non-recourse mortgage loans and construction loans in connection with four student housing properties totaling approximately $121.6 million, with drawdowns totaling approximately $83.7 million during the period (amounts are based on the applicable exchange rates on the date of the transactions) (Note 9).

Mortgage Loan Repayments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid three non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $49.1 million and a weighted-average interest rate of 4.1% (Note 9).

(a)Quarterly distributions declared are generally paid in the subsequent quarter. Since the second quarter of 2020, our distributions declared for both Class A and Class C common stock were reduced from previous levels to enable us to retain cash and preserve financial flexibility.

(b)We consider the performance metrics listed above, including Funds from operations (“FFO”), Modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), and Adjusted modified funds from operations (“Adjusted MFFO”), which are supplemental measures that are not defined by GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”), to be important measures in the evaluation of our operating performance. See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Revenues

Total revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to higher revenues from self-storage operating properties (driven by an increase in occupancy and unit rates) and the positive impact of our student housing properties placed into service during 2020 and 2021, as well as the write-off of straight-line rent during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Note 2). In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, higher rent was collected as businesses recover from the initial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, uncollected rent was higher due to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to CPA:18 – Global

Net income (loss) attributable to CPA:18 – Global increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to a higher gain on sale of real estate (Note 12), higher revenues from self-storage operating properties and the positive impact of the nine student housing properties placed into service during 2020 and 2021, as well as the write-off of straight-line rent (Note 2) and the allowance for credit losses (Note 5) recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by higher interest expense (primarily due to the impact of mortgage financings obtained on five of the student housing properties placed into service during 2020).

MFFO and Adjusted MFFO Attributable to CPA:18 – Global

MFFO and Adjusted MFFO increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to higher revenues from self-storage operating properties and the positive impact of our student housing properties placed into service during 2020 and 2021, partially offset by higher interest expense. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, higher rent was collected as businesses recover from the initial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, uncollected rent was higher due to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lease Composition and Leasing Activities

Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or similar indices, or percentage rents. As of September 30, 2021, approximately 45.4% of our leases (based on ABR) provided for adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the U.S. CPI (or similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located), some of which are subject to caps and/or floors. In addition, 41.0% of our leases (based on ABR) have fixed rent adjustments, for a scheduled average ABR increase of 1.8% over the next 12 months. Lease revenues from our international investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily from the euro. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached. Percentage rents are insignificant for the periods presented.

In September 2021, we restructured the leases with a tenant in two net lease hotel properties located in Germany. Certain rents due from 2020 through 2022 have been deferred, to be paid in equal installments of approximately $2.0 million annually (based on the exchange rate of the euro as of September 30, 2021) from 2023 through 2027, in addition to base rent due. Deferred rent will be recognized as collected. Rents due from 2020 through 2021 totaling approximately $5.4 million (based on the exchange rate of the euro as of September 30, 2021) were waived in connection with this restructuring. However, such rents were not previously recognized, therefore there is no impact on our results of operations as a result of waiving rents.

Terms and Definitions

Pro Rata Metrics — The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared on a pro rata basis (“Pro Rata Metrics”). We have a number of investments in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. On a full consolidation basis, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income (loss) from that investment. On a pro rata basis, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments.

ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of September 30, 2021. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties.

NOI — Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure intended to reflect the performance of our entire portfolio of properties and investments. We define NOI as lease revenues and other operating and interest income less non-reimbursable property and corporate expenses as determined by GAAP. We believe that NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our portfolio performance between periods and to other REITs. While we believe that NOI is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as an indication of our operating performance.

Stabilized NOI — We use Stabilized NOI, a non-GAAP measure, as a metric to evaluate the performance of our entire portfolio of properties. Stabilized NOI for development projects and newly acquired operating properties that are not yet substantially leased up are not included in our portfolio information until one year after the project has been substantially completed and placed into service, or the property has been substantially leased up (and the project or property has not been disposed of during or prior to the current period). In addition, any newly acquired stabilized operating property is included in our portfolio of Stabilized NOI information upon acquisition. Stabilized NOI for a net-leased property is included in our portfolio information upon acquisition or in the period when it is placed into service (as the property will already have a lease in place).

Stabilized NOI is adjusted for corporate expenses, such as asset management fees and the Available Cash Distributions to our Advisor (Note 3), that are calculated and reported at the corporate level and not evaluated as part of any property’s operating performance. Additionally, non-cash adjustments (such as straight-line rent adjustments) and interest income related to our notes receivable (which is non-property related) are not included in Stabilized NOI. Lastly, non-core income is excluded from Stabilized NOI as this income is generally not recurring in nature.

We believe that Stabilized NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our portfolio performance between periods and to other REITs. While we believe that Stabilized NOI is a useful supplemental measure, it should not be considered as an alternative to Net income (loss) as an indication of our operating performance.

Results of Operations

We evaluate our results of operations with a focus on: (i) our ability to generate the cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and (ii) increasing the value of our real estate investments. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income (loss) for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.

Revenues

Lease Revenues

“Existing net-leased properties” are those we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2020 and were not sold during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 46 existing net-leased properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, lease revenues increased by $4.1 million, primarily due to (i) $2.0 million of higher rent collected during the current year period as a result of the positive impact on rent collections as businesses recovered from the initial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (uncollected rent was $1.6 million during the current year period, as compared to $3.6 million during the prior year period) (Note 2); (ii) a $1.6 million increase in reimbursable tenant costs largely due to higher property tax assessments at certain properties; and (iii) a $0.3 million increase as a result of the strengthening of the euro and Norwegian krone in relation to the U.S. dollar.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, lease revenues increased by $10.3 million, primarily due to (i) a $7.0 million write-off of straight-line rent in the prior year period (Note 2); (ii) a $2.8 million increase as a result of the strengthening of the euro and Norwegian krone in relation to the U.S. dollar; and (iii) a $1.4 million increase in reimbursable tenant costs largely due to higher property tax assessments at certain properties, partially offset by $1.7 million of lower rent collected during the current year period, as a result of the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (uncollected rent was $8.3 million during the current year period, as compared to $6.6 million during the prior year period) (Note 2).

“Recently net-leased student housing properties” are those we placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2019 or remain under construction as a development project (and are subject to net leases upon completion of construction). For the periods presented, there were ten recently net-leased student housing properties, comprised of eight student housing properties and two ongoing student housing development projects.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 41

“Net-leased properties sold or held for sale” includes one net lease property classified as held for sale at September 30, 2021 (which was sold in October 2021 (Note 4, Note 14)) and one net lease property sold during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Operating Property Revenues

“Existing operating properties” are those we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2020 and were not sold during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 65 existing operating properties (all of which are self-storage operating properties).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, operating property revenues from existing operating properties increased by $3.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, due to an increase in occupancy and unit rates across our self-storage portfolio.

“Recently opened operating properties” are student housing operating properties that were placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2019, or remain under construction as a development project (and are not subject to net leases upon completion of construction). For the periods presented, we had two recently opened student housing operating properties, comprised of a student housing operating property placed into service during the third quarter of 2020 and an ongoing student housing development project.

“Operating properties sold” includes the two student housing operating properties located in the United Kingdom sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (Note 12).

Interest Income and Other

Interest income and other primarily consists of interest income from our notes receivable investment (Note 5) and other non-recurring income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, interest income was relatively flat.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, interest income and other decreased by $3.3 million, primarily due to (i) a $1.4 million decrease in interest income recognition from our notes receivable as a result of the borrower default on the mortgage loan senior to our mezzanine tranche of a mortgage-backed security; (ii) the collection of $1.1 million in lease-related settlements in the prior year period as a result of a lease restructuring at one of our properties in 2019; and (iii) $0.8 million in termination income recognized in the prior year period.

Operating Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization

The following table presents our consolidated depreciation and amortization:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		Change		2021		2020		Change
Depreciation and amortization
Net-leased properties	$	13,755	$	12,228	$	1,527	$	40,819	$	35,351	$	5,468
Operating properties	3,501		3,337		164		10,488		9,404		1,084
	$	17,256	$	15,565	$	1,691	$	51,307	$	44,755	$	6,552

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, depreciation and amortization increased for both our net-leased and operating properties as a result of the four and five student housing properties placed into service during 2021 and 2020, respectively.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 42

Allowance for Credit Losses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $4.9 million due to changes in expected economic conditions relating to a net investment in direct financing lease (Note 5).

Other Income and (Expenses), and (Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net

Gain on sale of real estate, net, consists of gain on the sale of properties that were disposed of during the reporting period. Our dispositions are more fully described in Note 12.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense is directly impacted by the mortgage financings obtained, assumed, or extinguished in connection with our investment and disposition activity (Note 9).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, interest expense increased by $1.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, primarily as a result of the mortgage financings obtained on certain student housing properties placed into service during 2021 and 2020.

The following table presents certain information about our outstanding debt (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Average outstanding debt balance	$	1,300,560		$	1,244,196		$	1,316,454		$	1,208,438
Weighted-average interest rate	3.6		%	3.8		%	3.6		%	3.8		%

Other Gains and (Losses)

Other gains and (losses) primarily consists of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments. We make intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and short-term loans, are included in the determination of net income (loss). We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currencies held by entities with the U.S. dollar as their functional currency due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation.

2021 — For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net other losses were $2.8 million, which were primarily comprised of (i) net realized and unrealized losses of $1.7 million related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, recognized on the prepayment of a non-recourse mortgage loan (Note 9); and (iii) a gain of $0.4 million relating to proceeds received from a prior disposition.

2020 — For the three months ended September 30, 2020, net other gains were $1.1 million, primarily comprised of (i) net realized and unrealized gains of $1.3 million, related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) net realized gains of $0.3 million, related to the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts and collars; (iii) interest income from our cash accounts of $0.1 million; and (iv) losses incurred of $0.6 million related to our previously owned Ghana investment.

2021 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net other losses were $2.8 million, which were primarily comprised of (i) net realized and unrealized losses of $2.0 million related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million, recognized on the prepayment of a non-recourse mortgage loan (Note 9); (iii) a gain of $0.4 million relating to proceeds received from a prior disposition; and (iv) $0.2 million in net gains realized upon the settlement of derivatives at maturity.

2020 — For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net other gains were $0.1 million, which were primarily comprised of (i) net realized and unrealized gains of $2.0 million, related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) net realized gains of $1.2 million, related to the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts and collars; (iii) interest income from our cash accounts of $0.4 million; and (iv) losses incurred of $3.5 million related to our previously owned Ghana investment.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 43

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

Our (provision for) benefit from income taxes is primarily related to our international properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, our provision for income taxes decreased by $0.3 million, primarily due to (i) the release of a portion of a valuation allowance relating to an international property during the current year period; and (ii) lower deferred tax expense related to interest carryforward reductions at our Norwegian properties resulting from a change in tax regulation during the prior year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million, compared to a provision for income taxes of $1.6 million recognized in the same period in 2020, primarily due to (i) the establishment of a valuation allowance relating to one of our hotel properties in Germany in the prior year period; (ii) higher current tax expense in the prior year period relating to back rent received from an international tenant; and (iii) the items noted in the preceding paragraph.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $3.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the net gain on sale of the two student housing operating properties disposed in the current year periods (Note 12), partially offset by the losses incurred at our previously owned joint-venture investment in Ghana during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, fund construction projects, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. Our cash flows will fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of funding for our build-to-suit and development projects; the timing of the receipt of proceeds from, and the repayment of, non-recourse secured debt and the WPC line of credit, and the receipt of lease revenues; whether our Advisor receives fees in shares of our common stock or cash, which our board of directors elects after consultation with our Advisor; the timing of payments of the Available Cash Distributions to our Advisor; and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite these fluctuations, we believe our investments will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs, as well as the measures noted above. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse secured debt, sales of assets, and distributions reinvested in our common stock through our DRIP (as noted below, our board of directors has limited the amount of cash available for our redemption program to the amount reinvested in our DRIP) to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher revenues from self-storage operating properties, driven by an increase in occupancy and unit rates, partially offset by the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rent collections and higher interest expense.

Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of funding of development projects, capitalized property-related costs, and payment of deferred acquisition fees to our Advisor for asset acquisitions. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold two student housing operating properties located in the United Kingdom for net proceeds of $147.8 million (Note 12).

Financing Activities — Our financing activities are generally comprised of borrowings, repayments and prepayments of our non-recourse secured debt, and activity relating to our common stock, which includes (i) payments of distributions to stockholders, (ii) distributions that are reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock through our DRIP, and (iii) repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to our redemption program as described below. In addition, cash paid and received in accordance with our individual agreements with our joint-venture partners are considered financing cash flow activities.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 44

Distributions

Our objectives are to generate sufficient cash flow over time to provide stockholders with distributions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we declared distributions to stockholders of $28.4 million, which were comprised of $15.4 million of cash distributions and $13.1 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP. From inception through September 30, 2021, we have declared distributions to stockholders totaling $559.1 million, which were comprised of cash distributions of $274.9 million and $284.2 million reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP.

We believe that FFO, a non-GAAP measure, is an appropriate metric to evaluate our ability to fund distributions to stockholders. For a discussion of FFO, see Supplemental Financial Measures below. Since inception, the regular quarterly cash distributions that we pay have principally been covered by FFO or cash flow from operations. However, we funded a portion of our cash distributions to date using net proceeds from our initial public offering and there can be no assurance that our FFO or cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our future distributions. Our distribution coverage using both FFO and net cash provided by operating activities fully covered our distributions declared for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Redemptions

We maintain a quarterly redemption program pursuant to which we may, at the discretion of our board of directors, redeem shares of our common stock from stockholders seeking liquidity. On August 31, 2020, our board of directors approved, effective as of that date, generally limiting the amount of cash available for our redemption program to the amount reinvested by stockholders in our DRIP (as further detailed in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 1, 2020); however, our board of directors retains the discretion to modify that limitation at any time.

The following table illustrates our redemption activity in both shares of common stock and dollars during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

	Class A			Class C			Totals
	Shares	Dollars (a)		Shares	Dollars (a)		Shares	Dollars (a)
Redemptions unfulfilled beginning balance (b)	995,407	$	8,085	716,392	$	5,819	1,711,799	$	13,904
Redemptions requested (c)	1,904,489	16,510		1,218,654	10,648		3,123,143	27,158

___________

(a)Except for redemptions sought in certain defined special circumstances, the redemption price of the shares listed above was 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAVs at the time of redemption was made or processed. For shares redeemed under such special circumstances, the redemption price was the greater of the price paid to acquire the shares from us or 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAVs at the time of redemption. Unfulfilled redemptions are reflected at 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAVs.

(b)Requests not fulfilled in one quarter will automatically be carried forward to the next quarter (unless such request is revoked) and processed with new requests on a pro rata basis, following prioritization of special circumstance redemption requests.

(c)Redemptions requested are comprised of 405 and 174 new redemption requests received during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for our Class A and Class C common stock, respectively.

(d)Redemptions were fulfilled at an average price of $8.80 and $8.81 per share for Class A and Class C common stock, respectively.

Cash Resources

As of September 30, 2021, our cash resources consisted of the following:

•cash and cash equivalents totaling $93.5 million (Note 2). Of this amount, $45.7 million (at then-current exchange rates) was held in foreign subsidiaries, which may be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these funds;

•ability to borrow up to $50.0 million from the unsecured revolving line of credit with WPC (scheduled to mature on March 31, 2022), which had no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2021 (Note 3);

•ability to borrow up to $39.9 million and $1.2 million under our third-party and external joint-venture financing arrangements, respectively; and

•unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $126.3 million as of September 30, 2021, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties on acceptable terms.

Our cash resources may be used for funding construction costs, working capital needs, other commitments, and to make distributions to our stockholders.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 46

Cash Requirements and Liquidity

During the next 12 months following September 30, 2021 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include:

•paying distributions to our stockholders and to our affiliates that hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control;

•funding future capital commitments such as development projects (Note 4);

•making scheduled principal and balloon payments on our debt obligations (Note 9);

•making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $131.6 million, with $44.9 million due during the next 12 months; interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rates); and

•making share repurchases pursuant to our redemption plan.

We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund distributions to stockholders. We may also use proceeds from asset sales to fund development projects, build-to-suit investments, and short-term cash requirements. We currently expect that, for the short-term, the aforementioned cash requirements will be funded through our cash resources (as noted above), and our cash flow from operations, including the cash received under net lease and operating lease agreements. During 2020 and 2021, we placed into service nine student housing properties (eight of which executed net lease agreements). In addition, in order to preserve cash and maintain financial flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic:

•at our option our Advisor has received all asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock since April 1, 2020;

•we have reduced our distributions declared for both Class A and Class C common stock since the second quarter of 2020;

•we limited the amount of cash available for our redemption program to the amount reinvested by stockholders in our DRIP, since August 2020; and

•we have refinanced certain loans and have the ability to refinance loans coming due.

Our liquidity could be adversely affected by unanticipated costs, greater-than-anticipated operating expenses, and the continuing adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as tenants not paying rental obligations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our liquidity and debt covenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

Certain amounts disclosed above are based on the exchange rate of the local currencies as of September 30, 2021, which consisted primarily of the euro and Norwegian krone and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling.

Supplemental Financial Measures

In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

FFO

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 47

We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above. However, NAREIT’s definition of FFO does not distinguish between the conventional method of equity accounting and the hypothetical liquidation at book value method of accounting for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements. We believe that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment, and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges of real estate-related assets, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management; and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions, which can change over time.

MFFO

Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-traded REITs are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after acquisition activity ceases. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-traded REITs and which we believe to be another appropriate non-GAAP measure to reflect our operations. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP and may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy (as currently intended). Since MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO, we believe that it provides an indication of the sustainability of our operating performance after our initial property-acquisition phase. We believe that MFFO allows investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance now that our initial public offering is complete and the proceeds are invested. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-traded REIT industry.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Practice Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Traded REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”), issued in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, included in the determination of GAAP net income, as applicable: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP basis to a cash accrual basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, foreign exchange, derivatives, or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments, are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses that are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 48

Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above and is adjusted for certain items, such as accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums on borrowings (as such adjustments are comparable to the permitted adjustments for debt investments), allowance for credit losses, non-cash accretion of environmental liabilities and amortization of ROU assets, which management believes is helpful in assessing our operating performance.

Our management uses MFFO in order to evaluate our performance against other non-traded REITs, which also have limited lives with defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate in this manner. For example, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our current operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Adjusted MFFO

In addition, our management uses Adjusted MFFO as another measure of sustainable operating performance. Adjusted MFFO adjusts MFFO for deferred income tax expenses and benefits, which are non-cash items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income, but have no impact on current period cash flows. Additionally, we adjust MFFO to reflect the realized gains/losses on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives to arrive at Adjusted MFFO. Foreign currency derivatives are a fundamental part of our operations in that they help us manage the foreign currency exposure we have associated with cash flows from our international investments.

FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, MFFO, and Adjusted MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, MFFO, or Adjusted MFFO accordingly.

__________

(a)Primarily comprised of gains and losses on (i) foreign currency movements, (ii) derivatives, and (iii) extinguishment of debt. Amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a $2.8 million loss to write off the value added taxes receivable related to our previous investment in Ghana, as collectibility was no longer deemed probable.

(b)Amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes a $7.0 million write-off of straight-line rent receivables (Note 2). Under GAAP, rental receipts are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. This may result in timing of income recognition that is significantly different than on an accrual basis.

(c)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provide useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

(d)During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an allowance for credit losses due to changes in expected economic conditions (Note 5).

(e)The three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes losses related to the litigation settlement with the joint venture partner on our previously owned Ghana investment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market and Credit Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. We are exposed to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk, however, we generally do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic both in the Unites States and globally continues to cause uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, including interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The outbreak is expected to have a continued adverse impact on market conditions for the foreseeable future and to trigger a period of global economic slowdown with no known duration. At September 30, 2021, our net lease portfolio (which excludes operating properties) had the following concentrations (as a percentage of our ABR) for industry types with heightened risk as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic:

•13.6% related to student housing (net lease) properties;

•12.9% related to hotel and leisure properties;

•4.8% related to retail facilities (primarily from convenience and wholesale stores); and

•3.2% related to advertising, printing, and publishing.

There may be an impact across all industries and geographic regions in which our tenants operate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the significant uncertainty around the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact it will have on our tenants’ continued ability to pay rent.

We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, our Advisor views our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and attempts to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region.

Interest Rate Risk

The values of our real estate, related fixed-rate debt obligations, and notes receivable investment are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions (including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled (if we do not choose to repay the debt when due). Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we have historically attempted to obtain non-recourse secured debt financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our joint investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate non-recourse secured debt, and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps.

CPA:18 – Global 9/30/2021 10-Q – 51

As of September 30, 2021, a significant portion (approximately 83.7%) of our outstanding debt either bore interest at fixed rates, or was swapped or capped to a fixed rate. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 9 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above. The following table presents principal cash outflows for the remainder of 2021, each of the next four calendar years following December 31, 2021, and thereafter, based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

	2021 (remainder)		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value
Fixed-rate debt (a)	$	43,747	$	116,111	$	156,499	$	182,484	$	298,870	$	91,103	$	888,814	$	890,465
Variable rate debt (a)	$	4,829	$	69,557	$	211,278	$	22,458	$	44,027	$	11,290	$	363,439	$	374,349

__________

(a)Amounts are based on the exchange rate as of September 30, 2021, as applicable.

The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt (which have effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps) is marginally affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt as of September 30, 2021 by an aggregate increase of $23.9 million or an aggregate decrease of $31.0 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2021 would increase or decrease by $2.0 million for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates.

As more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 2 above, a portion of our variable-rate debt in the table above bore interest at fixed rates as of September 30, 2021, but has interest rate reset features that will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during their term. This debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We own international investments, primarily in Europe and, as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro, the Norwegian krone, and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. Volatile market conditions arising from the COVID-19 global pandemic may result in significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service (comprised of principal and interest, excluding balloon payments), as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro, Norwegian krone, or British pound sterling, and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the annual projected estimated cash flow (scheduled future rental revenues, net of scheduled future debt service payments for the next 12 months) for our consolidated foreign operations at September 30, 2021 of $0.4 million for the euro and less than $0.1 million for both the Norwegian krone and British pound sterling, excluding the impact of our derivative instruments.

In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and collars to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. See Note 8 for additional information on our foreign currency forward contracts and collars.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas. There have been no material changes in our concentration of credit risk from what was disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2021 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 354,821 shares of our Class A common stock to our Advisor as consideration for asset management fees, which were issued at our most recently published NAV at the time of issuance. All shares issued during the three months ended September 30, 2021 were based on a NAV of $8.91 (which was the NAV as of both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021). In acquiring our shares, our Advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration.

All other prior sales of unregistered securities have been reported in our previously filed quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, respectively.

___________

(a)Represents shares of our Class A and Class C common stock requested to be repurchased under our redemption plan, pursuant to which we may elect to redeem shares at the request of our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions, conditions, and limitations. The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on a number of factors and is at the discretion of our board of directors. On August 31, 2020, our board of directors approved, effective as of that date, limiting the amount of cash available for our redemption program to the amount reinvested by stockholders in shares of our common stock pursuant to our DRIP (as further detailed in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 1, 2020); however, our board of directors retains the discretion to modify that limitation at any time. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we received 118 and 43 redemption requests for Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, which included approximately 585,070 and 162,588 shares for $5.0 million and $1.4 million of Class A and Class C common stock, respectively, which remained unfulfilled as of the date of this Report. We generally receive fees in connection with share redemptions. The average price paid per share will vary depending on the number of redemption requests that were made during the period, the number of redemption requests that qualify for special circumstances, and our most recently published quarterly NAVs. For shares redeemed under such special circumstances, the redemption price was the greater of the price paid to acquire the shares from us or 95% of our most recently published quarterly NAVs.
