December 31, 2023, NAV per Common Share

 

On January 24, 2024, ExchangeRight Income Fund Trustee, LLC (the “Trustee”), which serves as the sole trustee of ExchangeRight Income Fund, doing business as ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT (the “Company”), declared the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company as of December 31, 2023 to be $643,114,000 (or $26.99 per common share of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”)). The NAV set forth above is based on the midpoint of the range of real estate values as of December 31, 2023 of the Company’s owned properties as determined by an independent valuation firm, combined with the value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and other assets, and less the Company’s liabilities. We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our Trustee. Our NAV per Common Share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each quarter, will be posted on our website at www.exchangeright.com/the-essential-income-reit/class-i-shares/ and is the same for each of our Class I, Class A, and Class S Common Shares, as well as the common units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) in ExchangeRight Income Fund Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). For a description of how our NAV is calculated, see the disclosures under the caption “Net Asset Value” beginning on page 82 of our Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2023. Our Trustee is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV.

Private Offering Updates

The Company is currently conducting a private placement offering on a continuous basis of up to $2.165 billion of Common Shares (the “Private Offering”). The Company has updated the purchase price for each class of our Common Shares offered in the Private Offering to be equal to the NAV per Common Share as of December 31, 2023, plus any applicable upfront selling commissions and expenses related to each class of Common Shares. The repurchase price for each share class under the Company's share repurchase program also will be updated to reflect the December 31, 2023 NAV and updated purchase prices for the Common Shares in the Private Offering. The updated purchase price will be applicable for subscriptions for Common Shares closing from and after February 1, 2024. The updated purchase price for each class of Common Shares for future subscriptions beginning on February 1, 2024 is as follows:

The Company has updated the offering materials for the Private Offering, including the confidential private placement memorandum and subscription documents, which are available on the Company’s website at: www.exchangeright.com/the-essential-income-reit/class-i-shares/. The Common Shares offered in the Private Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in any state absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized and does not constitute an offer within any jurisdiction to any person to whom such offer would be unlawful. The offering of Common Shares in the Private Offering will only be made pursuant to the confidential private placement memorandum for the private placement offering prepared by the Company, which will be made available to interested investors.

 

Pursuant to the Private Offering, the Company is offering its Class I, Class A, and Class S Common Shares. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has issued an aggregate of 16,183,336 Common Shares in the Private Offering for total consideration of $439.9 million. Of these issued Common Shares, 5,758,060 Class I Common Shares and 10,006,962 Class A Common Shares remained outstanding as of December 31, 2023. The following table lists the Common Shares issued and total consideration received to date in the Private Offering for each class of Common Shares:

December 2023 Distributions

 

On December 31, 2023, the Company declared distributions in the amount of $0.1449 per share for each class of its outstanding Common Shares. The distributions for each class of Common Shares were payable to shareholders of record immediately following the close of business on December 31, 2023 and were paid in cash or reinvested in the Company's Common Shares through the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) on January 12, 2024.

 

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan

 

For the December 31, 2023 declared distributions described above, holders of Common Shares and holders of Class I OP Units of the Operating Partnership have elected 8.8% of the aggregate declared distributions on Common Shares and Class I OP Units to be reinvested back into the Company's Common Shares based on elections by the individual shareholders and unitholders. These distributions were reinvested in the Company's Common Shares on January 12, 2024.

Includes the issuance of 4,176 Class I Common Shares totaling $112,000 in connection with OP Unitholder distributions being reinvested back into the Company's Class I Common Shares based on OP Unitholders’ election.

 

The DRIP generally permits shareholders of the Company to elect to have some or all of their cash distributions in respect of the shareholder’s Common Shares to be automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares. Any cash distributions attributable to the class of Common Shares owned by participants in the DRIP will be reinvested in Common Shares on behalf of the participant on

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than historical facts may be considered “forward-looking statements,” and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimates”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future” and words of similar import, or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements in this report include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations, our strategic plans and objectives, and other matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

 

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which in some cases are beyond the Company’s control and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to shareholders and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered.

 

Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: risks inherent in the real estate business, including tenant defaults, illiquidity of real estate investments, potential liability relating to environmental matters and potential damages from natural disasters; general business and economic conditions; the accuracy of our assessment that certain businesses are e-commerce resistant and recession-resilient; the accuracy of the tools we use to determine the creditworthiness of our tenants; concentration of our business within certain tenant categories; ability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as existing leases expire; our ability to successfully execute our acquisition strategies; the degree and nature of our competition; inflation and interest rate fluctuations; failure, weakness, interruption or breach in security of our information systems; our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets; our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes; our limited operating history as a REIT, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our shareholders; changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, applicable laws or regulations; and future sales or issuances of our Common Shares or other securities convertible into our Common Shares, or the perception thereof, could cause the value of our Common Shares to decline and could result in dilution.

 

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s reports (such as the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet website (www.sec.gov). All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
