Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Lease and Contractual Commitments

We have $241.9 million of lease and contractual commitments at December 31, 2021. Lease and contractual commitments represent commitments under signed leases and contracts for operating properties (excluding tenant-funded tenant improvements) and contracts for development/redevelopment projects, of which $55.5 million was recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021.

Contingent Consideration

We had $0.8 million of contingent consideration related to a parcel of acquired development land at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. The contingent consideration is payable in cash to a third party if and to the extent future development milestones as outlined in the purchase agreements are met.

Environmental Matters

Substantially all of our in-service and development properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental assessments and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments. Such assessments and/or updates have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are from time to time a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of our business. We regularly assess the liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based on the latest information available. For those matters where it is probable that we have incurred or will incur a loss and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is accrued and charged to income in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to both the probable outcome and amount or range of loss, a reasonable estimate of liability, if any, cannot be made. Based on the current expected outcome of such matters, none of these proceedings, claims or assessments is expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

COVID-19

Since early March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. We continue to follow the policies described in Note 1, including those related to impairments of real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated affiliates, leases and estimates of credit losses on operating lease receivables. While the results of our current analyses did not result in any material adjustments to amounts as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in recording impairments, lease modifications and credit losses in future periods.
