CALCULATIONS

The estimated capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this release are calculated by dividing projected NOI or Cash (Adjusted) NOI for the applicable properties by the aggregate purchase price or development cost, as applicable, for such properties. Newly acquired operating assets are generally considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up (typically when the tenant(s) control(s) the physical use of at least 80% of the space) or 12 months from the acquisition date. Newly completed developments are considered stabilized at the earlier of lease-up or 24 months from the date the property is placed in service.

The aggregate NOI or Cash (Adjusted) NOI projections used in calculating the capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this presentation are based on (i) information currently available to us, including, in connection with acquisitions, information made available to us by the seller in the diligence process, and (ii) certain assumptions applied by us related to anticipated occupancy, rental rates, property taxes and other expenses over a specified period of time in the future based on historical data and the Company's knowledge of and experience with the submarket. Accordingly, the capitalization rates and yield ranges included in this presentation are inherently based on inexact projections that may be incorrect or imprecise and may change as a result of events or factors currently unknown to the Company. The actual capitalization rates for these properties may differ materially and adversely from the estimated stabilized capitalization rates and yield ranges discussed in this release based on numerous factors, including any difficulties achieving assumed occupancy and/or rental rates, development delays, unanticipated expenses not payable by a tenant, tenant defaults, the results of purchase price allocations, as well as the risk factors set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its subsequent filings with the SEC.
