On December 31, 2020, Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), through a subsidiary of its operating partnership and through its operating partnership, Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P., of which the Company is the sole general partner (the “Operating Partnership”), acquired four industrial properties comprising approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet located within Southern California in the Company’s San Fernando Valley, Mid-Counties and Inland Empire West submarkets (the “Properties”), for a contract price of approximately $86.3 million, exclusive of closing costs.

Holders of Common Units have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their Common Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of the Company’s common stock, or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.
