HEADERLXP  2018 ANNUAL REPORTDEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

We were honored to celebrate our 25th anniversary as a public com-
pany in October 2018, marking a memorable milestone for Lexington 
Realty Trust. Our experiences over the last 25 years in the property 
and capital markets are the basis for our evolution and refined business 
strategy. We have initiated a number of changes in recent years to sim-
plify and focus our operations, and 2018 proved to be a pivotal year. 
Execution was strong as we continued to transition the company to a 
single-tenant, net-lease industrial REIT. 

Our focused execution in 2018 closely reflected our goals set forth at 
the end of 2017. We acquired high-quality industrial assets, sold of-
fice and other non-core positions, upgraded the quality of our port-
folio holdings, proactively managed lease expirations, and improved 
our  balance  sheet  metrics.  Additionally,  we  repurchased  shares 
throughout the year to take advantage of the disconnect between our 
share price and net asset value, which we believe was a compelling 
value proposition and an optimal use of our capital. Our sustained 
efforts continue to position the company for consistent and attrac-
tive  earnings  and  net  asset  value  growth  over  the  long-term.  Most 
notable 2018 highlights include:  

n  Compelling Growth Opportunities – Acquired $316 million  

of industrial real estate

n  Robust Repositioning Efforts – Disposed of $1.1 billion  

of office and other non-core assets 

n  Enhanced Portfolio Composition – Increased industrial 
exposure to 71% and reduced office exposure to 27%1

n  Proactive Asset Management – Leased 1.9 million square feet 

n  Advantageous Share Repurchase Program – Repurchased  
5.9 million common shares at an average price of $8.05 per  
common share

n  Strong and Flexible Balance Sheet – Attained historically low 

leverage of 4.7x net debt to EBITDA

1  Based on gross book value of real estate assets as of 12/31/2018; excludes held for sale assets.

Our  business  plan  is  designed  to  focus  on  single-tenant  industrial  
assets, and at year-end 2018, more than 71% of our total portfolio was 
invested in industrial properties.2 We have been successful in refining 
our portfolio by concentrating on owning high-quality warehouse/
distribution assets in both primary and secondary markets. Among 
the most active investors in the market over the last three years, we 
have added 17 million square feet of industrial product to the portfo-
lio, substantially all of which has been warehouse/distribution facili-
ties. Additionally, roughly 50% of our current industrial portfolio is 
located within the top 25 U.S. industrial markets.3 

As a well-capitalized, long-term real estate investor in a sector with 
compelling  fundamentals,  our  appetite  remains  strong  for  high- 
quality, single-tenant industrial real estate. We are pleased with our 
2018  acquisition  activity  of  $316  million  of  industrial  facilities, 
and  we  continue  to  find  attractive  prospects  in  the  marketplace. 
Our emphasis is on acquiring general purpose warehouse/distribu-
tion  properties  within  industrial  submarkets  supported  by  favor-
able trends in demand, e-commerce, population, and job growth. 
We also intend to remain active in the development of industrial 
build-to-suit projects as the demand by single tenants for industrial 
real estate remains strong.

ROBUST REPOSITIONING EFFORTS 

As part of our larger portfolio strategy, we accelerated our 2018 dis-
position plan through the sale of $1.1 billion of office and other non-
core assets. This included the sale of a 21-property office portfolio to a 
newly-formed joint venture for approximately $726 million. We have 
acquired a 20% interest and are managing the joint venture. Our gains 
on sale in 2018 totaled $253 million. 

In 2019, we expect to continue to significantly reduce our office ex-
posure  and  anticipate  disposing  of  approximately  $400  million  to 
$500 million of primarily office and other non-core assets. Thereaf-
ter, over the coming years, we will prudently sell our remaining non-
core assets with the focus on maximizing value on an individual asset 
basis. Through our continued sales efforts, we can expect capital ex-
penditures and leasing costs to decline considerably over time, which 
will enhance our free cash flow. 

Our  portfolio  continues  to  evolve  to  consist  of  high-quality,  single- 
tenant, net-leased industrial assets, in large part due to the progress we 
have made on the disposition and investment fronts in recent years. We 
are ready for another productive year and look forward to moving closer 
to completing our portfolio transition.

PROACTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT

Our asset management team is highly focused on working alongside our tenants to create and maintain 
positive working relationships and occupancy solutions. We believe tenant retention is fundamental to 
sustaining and enhancing shareholder value over the long-term. Consistent leasing activity and occupan-
cy reflect our proactive approach to asset management and successful investment underwriting. 

In 2018, solid leasing volume of approximately two million square feet resulted in 29 new or extend-
ed leases, with industrial cash rents increasing 4% and office cash rents remaining flat. At year end, our 
portfolio was 95.1% leased with a weighted-average lease term of 8.9 years. Our lease expirations remain 
well-balanced, and we continue to be proactive in our leasing efforts for 2019 expirations and beyond. 
For 2019, we have already addressed or are in the process of addressing a large portion of our lease rollover 
through sale or lease extension.

CAPITAL MARKETS 

Advantageous Share Repurchase Program 
Market volatility during 2018 created several opportunities where re-
purchasing our common shares was a compelling use of our capital. 
We were active during this time and repurchased approximately 5.9 
million shares at an average price of $8.05 per share. In November, 
our Board of Trustees provided us further flexibility through the ap-
proval  of  an  additional  10  million  share  repurchase  authorization. 
In our view, our share repurchase program remains a useful tool to 
augment shareholder value when appropriate. 

Attractive Balance Sheet 
Our balance sheet is arguably the best it has ever been. Cash proceeds 
from the office portfolio sale we announced in September provided 
us the opportunity to pay off a substantial amount of debt in both 
the third and fourth quarters. We ended the year with extremely low 
leverage of 4.7 times net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Leverage levels 
may fluctuate during the year depending on the timing of sales and 
purchases, but we expect to leverage to remain low in comparison to 
recent years. While future asset purchases will largely be funded from 
dispositions, we have balance sheet capacity and flexibility as needed to 
capitalize on opportunities which may arise.

2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS

In 2018, we generated net income of $0.93 per diluted common share and Adjusted Company Funds 
from  Operations  (FFO)  of  $0.96  cents  per  diluted  common  share.  For  2019,  net  income  guidance  is 
expected to be within a range of $1.36 to $1.40 per diluted common share and Adjusted Company FFO 
guidance within a range of $0.75 to $0.79 per diluted common share. As we continue to refine our invest-
ment strategy, earnings dilution is to be expected from selling our office and other non-core assets, which 
is reflected in our 2019 guidance.

In September of 2018, we announced that our dividend would be reset in 2019 in order to retain capital 
and reinvest in growth opportunities. We believe the Board of Trustees’ prudent approach to setting a 
new annual dividend rate of $0.41 per diluted common share will allow the company to retain and rein-
vest capital to achieve consistent and sustainable growth in earnings and net asset value. 

We believe our evolution towards a single-tenant industrial net-lease REIT will provide for a more favorable 
long-term growth profile, greater certainty of cash flows, and the opportunity for a better valuation. We look 
forward to accomplishing the work required in 2019 to move us closer to our ideal industrial portfolio con-
struct. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to another 25 prosperous years.

Item 1. Business

General

PART I.

We are a Maryland real estate investment trust, qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, that owns a portfolio of 
equity investments in single-tenant commercial properties, with a focus on industrial properties. A majority of these properties are 
subject to net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate 
taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. However, certain leases provide that the landlord is responsible for certain operating 
expenses.

As of December 31, 2018, we had equity ownership interests in approximately 135 consolidated real estate properties, located 
in 34 states and containing an aggregate of approximately 47.6 million square feet of space, approximately 95.1% of which was 
leased. In 2018, 2017 and 2016, no tenant/guarantor represented greater than 10% of our annual base rental revenue.

In addition to our shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock, which we refer to as 
common shares, as of December 31, 2018, we had one outstanding class of beneficial interest classified as preferred stock, or preferred 
shares, our 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or our Series C Preferred Shares. 
Our common shares and Series C Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbols “LXP” 
and “LXPPRC”, respectively.

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which 
we refer to as the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 1993. We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. 
If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our net taxable income 
that is currently distributed to our common shareholders. We conduct certain taxable activities through our taxable REIT subsidiary, 
Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc.

History

Lexington is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, as a portion of its business is conducted through its operating 
partnership subsidiary, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., which we refer to as LCIF. Lexington is party to a funding agreement 
with LCIF under which Lexington may be required to fund distributions made on account of partner interests in LCIF, which we 
refer to as OP units. The UPREIT structure enables us to acquire properties through an operating partnership by issuing OP units to 
a seller of property, as a form of consideration in exchange for the property. However, our credit agreement requires that we own at 
least 95.5% of LCIF. The outstanding OP units not held by Lexington are generally redeemable for our common shares on a one OP 
unit for approximately 1.13 common shares basis, or, at our election in certain instances, cash. As of December 31, 2018, there were 
approximately 3.2 million OP units outstanding, other than OP units held by Lexington, which were convertible into approximately 
3.6 million common shares, assuming redemptions are satisfied entirely with common shares. 

Investment and Strategy

General. Our current business strategy is focused on enhancing our cash flow stability, growing our portfolio with attractive 
leased industrial investments, reducing lease rollover risk and maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet to allow us to act on 
opportunities as they arise. To that end, during 2018, we continued to be an active seller of non-core assets such as office properties, 
retail properties and vacant properties. In addition, we continued and will continue our efforts to increase the percentage of rents 
from industrial assets. Our disposition of 21 office assets to a newly-formed joint venture, NNN Office JV L.P. (“NNN JV”), and 
other disposition and acquisition activities during 2018, have resulted in an increase in our percentage of GAAP rent from industrial 
assets to 65.4% as of December 31, 2018 from 44.3% as of December 31, 2017.

Regardless of capital market and economic conditions, we intend to stay focused on (1) enhancing operating results, (2) improving 
portfolio quality through acquisitions of industrial assets and reducing risks associated with lease rollover, especially with respect 
to non-core assets, (3) mitigating risks relating to interest rates and real estate cycles and (4) implementing strategies where our 
management skills and real estate expertise can add value. 

Investments. When opportunities arise, we intend to continue to acquire single-tenant net-leased industrial assets that we believe 
will generate favorable returns. We focus on general purpose, well located, industrial assets that, we believe, will provide us with 
greater long-term overall risk-adjusted returns then we would realize from making new acquisitions of office or other properties. We 
believe industrial assets, as compared with office assets, provide for greater rental growth potential and less retenanting costs, We 
seek to grow our portfolio primarily by (1) engaging in, or providing funds to, or partnering with, developers who are engaged in, 
build-to-suit projects for single-tenant corporate users, (2) providing capital to corporations by buying properties and leasing them 
back to the sellers under net or similar leases and (3) acquiring properties already subject to net or similar leases, including through 
strategic transactions such as portfolio acquisitions and mergers with other real estate companies.

Our management has established a broad network of contacts to source investments, including brokers, developers and major 
corporate tenants. We believe that our geographical diversification, acquisition experience and balance sheet strength will allow us 
to continue to compete effectively for such investments. In addition, we seek to partner with developers on land parcels suitable for 
development of industrial assets.

Prior to effecting any investment, our underwriting includes analyzing the (1) property's design, construction quality, efficiency, 
functionality and location with respect to the immediate sub-market, city and region, (2) lease integrity with respect to term, rental 
rate increases, tenant credit, corporate guarantees and property maintenance provisions, (3) present and anticipated conditions in the 
local real estate market and (4) prospects for selling or re-leasing the property on favorable terms in the event of a vacancy. To the 
extent of information publicly available or made available to us, we also evaluate each potential tenant's financial strength, growth 
prospects and competitive position within its respective industry and each property's strategic location and function within a tenant's 
operations or distribution systems. We believe that our comprehensive underwriting process is critical to the assessment of long-
term profitability of any investment by us.

Competition

There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions, such as banks and insurance companies, 
and other investors with greater financial or other resources that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants 
who will lease space in these properties. Furthermore, competition for industrial assets has increased in recent years. Our competitors 
include other REITs, pension funds, banks, private companies and individuals.

Internal Growth and Effectively Managing Assets

Tenant Relations and Lease Compliance. We endeavor to maintain close contact with the tenants in the properties in which we 
have an interest in order to understand their financial strength, operations and future real estate needs. We monitor the financial, 
property maintenance and other lease obligations of the tenants in properties in which we have an interest, through a variety of means, 
including periodic reviews of financial statements that we have access to and physical inspections of the properties. 

Extending Lease Maturities. Our property owner subsidiaries seek to extend tenant leases in advance of the lease expiration in 

order for us to maintain a balanced lease rollover schedule and high occupancy levels. 

Revenue Enhancing Property Expansions. Our property owner subsidiaries undertake expansions of properties based on lease 
requirements, tenant requirements or marketing opportunities. We believe that selective property expansions can provide attractive 
rates of return. 

Capital Recycling. Subject to regulatory and contractual requirements, we generally sell our interests in properties when we 
believe that the return realized from selling a property will exceed the expected return from continuing to hold such property and/
or there is a better use of the capital to be received upon sale. We also focus our disposition efforts primarily on non-core assets such 
as office, vacant, multi-tenant, retail and short-term leased assets and assets that are the only asset we own in a geographic location.

Occasionally, we provide seller financing as a means of efficiently disposing of an asset. As a result, if a buyer defaults under 

the seller financing, we will once again be the owner of the underlying asset.

Conversion to Multi-Tenant. If one of our property owner subsidiaries is unable to renew a single-tenant lease or if it is unable 
to find a replacement single tenant, we either attempt to sell our interest in the property or the property owner subsidiary may seek 
to market the property for multi-tenant use. When appropriate, we seek to sell our interests in multi-tenant properties.

Property Management. From time to time, our property owner subsidiaries use property managers to manage certain properties. 
Our property management joint venture with an unaffiliated third party manages the majority of these properties. We believe this 
joint venture provides us with (1) better management of our assets, (2) better tenant relationships, (3) revenue-enhancing opportunities 
and (4) cost efficiencies. 

Financing Strategy

General. Since becoming a public company, our principal sources of financing have been the public and private equity and debt 
markets, including property-specific debt, revolving loans, corporate level term loans, corporate bonds, issuance of common and 
preferred equity, issuance of OP units and undistributed cash flows. 

Property-Specific Debt. Our property owner subsidiaries seek non-recourse secured debt on a limited basis to mitigate tenant 
credit risk and when credit tenant lease financing is available. Credit tenant lease financing allows us to significantly or fully leverage 
the rental stream from an investment at, what we believe are, attractive rates.

Corporate Level Borrowings. We also use corporate level borrowings, such as revolving loans, term loans, and debt offerings. 
We expect to continue to finance more of our operations with such corporate level borrowings as (1) non-recourse secured debt 
matures and (2) such corporate level borrowings are available on favorable terms.

Balance Sheet Management. In recent years, we have retired non-recourse mortgage debt with proceeds from recourse corporate 

level borrowings and sales. Our objective is to maintain a strong balance sheet to provide financial flexibility.

Common Share Issuances 

From time to time, we raise capital by issuing common shares through (1) at-the-market offering programs, (2) underwritten 
public offerings, (3) block trades and (4) our direct share purchase plan. The proceeds from our common share offerings are generally 
used for working capital, including to fund investments and to retire indebtedness. 

Share Repurchases 

We have made, and may continue to make, repurchases of our common and preferred shares in individual transactions when we 
believe it is advantageous to do so, including when the discount to our net asset value or the liquidation preference, as the case may 
be, is attractive. Our share repurchase program authorized in 2015 had approximately 10.7 million common shares available for 
repurchase as of December 31, 2018. We repurchased and retired 5.9 million common shares in 2018.

5

Advisory Contracts

We provide, and have provided, advisory services to various net-lease investors, including institutional investors and high net-

worth individuals. 

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, an owner of real property 
may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under such property as 
well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below are material factors that may adversely affect our business and operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are subject to risks involving our leases and tenants.

We focus our acquisition activities on real estate properties that are net leased to single tenants, and certain of our tenants and/
or their guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our base rental revenues. Therefore, the financial failure of, or other default 
by, a single tenant under its lease is likely to cause a significant or complete reduction in the operating cash flow generated by the 
property leased to that tenant and might decrease the value of that property and result in a non-cash impairment charge. If the tenant 
represents a significant portion of our base rental revenues, the impact on our financial position may be material. Further, in any 
such event, our property owner subsidiary will be responsible for 100% of the operating costs following a vacancy at a single-tenant 
building. Upon the expiration or other termination of leases that are currently in place, the property owner subsidiary may not be 
able to re-lease the vacant property at all or at a comparable lease rate without incurring additional expenditures in connection with 
the re-leasing, which may be material in amount.

Under current bankruptcy law, a tenant can generally assume or reject a lease within a certain number of days of filing its 
bankruptcy petition. If a tenant rejects the lease, a landlord's damages, subject to availability of funds from the bankruptcy estate, 
are generally limited to the greater of (1) one year's rent and (2) the rent for 15% of the remaining term of the lease, not to exceed 
three years.

Certain of our leases may permit tenants to terminate the leases to which they are a party. 

Certain of our leases contain tenant termination options, including economic discontinuance options, that permit the tenants to 
terminate their leases. While these termination options generally require a termination payment by the tenants, in most cases, the 
termination payments are less than the total remaining expected rental revenue. The termination of a lease by a tenant may impair 
the value of the property. In addition, we will be responsible for 100% of the operating costs following the termination by any such 
tenant and subsequent vacating of the property, and we will incur re-leasing costs.  

Our ability to fully control the maintenance of our net-leased properties may be limited.

The tenants of our net-leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. If 
a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred 
maintenance or other liabilities once the property is no longer leased. We generally visit our properties on an annual basis, but these 
visits are not comprehensive inspections and deferred maintenance items may go unnoticed. While our leases generally provide for 
recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially-troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance, 
and it may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant. 

Our tenants' ability to successfully operate their businesses may affect their ability to pay rent and maintain their leased property.

To the extent that tenants are unable to operate the property on a financially successful basis, their ability to pay rent to us may 
be adversely affected. Although we endeavor to monitor, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations 
and other factors which could affect the financial performance of our properties, such monitoring may not always ascertain or forestall 
deterioration, either in the condition or value of a property or in the financial circumstances of a tenant.

You should not rely on the credit ratings of our tenants.

Some of our tenants, guarantors and/or their parent or sponsor entities are rated by certain rating agencies. In certain instances, 
we may disclose the credit ratings of our tenants or their parent or sponsor entities even though those parent or sponsor entities are 
not liable for the obligations of the tenant or guarantor under the lease. Any such credit ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by 
these credit rating agencies and we cannot assure you that any such ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by these rating agencies 
in the future if, in their judgment, circumstances warrant. If these rating agencies assign a lower-than-expected rating or reduce or 
withdraw, or indicate that they may reduce or withdraw, the credit rating of a tenant, guarantor or its parent entity, the value of our 
investment in any properties leased by such tenant could significantly decline.

8

Our assets may be subject to impairment charges.

We periodically evaluate our real estate investments and other assets for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the 
existence of impairment indicators is based on GAAP, which include a variety of factors such as market conditions, the status of 
significant leases, the financial condition of major tenants and other factors that could affect the cash flow or value of an investment. 
Based on this evaluation, we may from time to time take non-cash impairment charges, which could affect the implementation of 
our current business strategy. These impairments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of 
operations. 

Furthermore, we may take an impairment charge on a property subject to a non-recourse secured mortgage which reduces the 
book value of such property to its fair value, which may be below the balance of the mortgage on our balance sheet. Upon foreclosure 
or other disposition, we may be required to recognize a gain on debt satisfaction equal to the difference between the fair value of the 
property and the balance of the mortgage.

Our real estate development activities are subject to additional risks.

In 2017, we entered into a joint venture that acquired a developable parcel of land. Development activities generally require various 
government and other approvals, which the joint venture may not receive. In addition, the joint venture is subject to the following 
risks associated with development activities: 

•  Unsuccessful development opportunities could cause us to incur direct expenses;

•  Construction costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than 

originally estimated or unprofitable;

•  Time required to complete the construction of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than 

originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and liquidity;

•  Occupancy rates and rents of a completed project may not be sufficient to make the project profitable; and

• 

Favorable financing sources to fund the joint venture's development activities may not be available.

A  tenant’s  bankruptcy  proceeding  may  result  in  the  re-characterization  of  related  sale-leaseback  transactions  or  in  the 
restructuring of the tenant's payment obligations to us, either of which could adversely affect our financial condition.

We have entered and may continue to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we purchase a property and then lease the 
same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as 
a sale-leaseback may be re-characterized as either a financing or a joint venture. As a result of the foregoing, the re-characterization 
of a sale-leaseback transaction could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow and the amount available for distributions 
to our shareholders.

If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result 
would have the status of a creditor in relation to the tenant. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our 
ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease, with the 
claim arguably secured by the property. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest 
rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we could be bound by the new terms 
and prevented from foreclosing our lien on the property. If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a joint venture, our tenant 
and we could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, 
for debts incurred by the tenant relating to the property.

9

A significant portion of our leases are long-term and do not have fair market rental rate adjustments, which could negatively 
impact our income and reduce the amount of funds available to make distributions to shareholders.

A significant portion of our rental income comes from long-term net leases, which generally provide the tenant greater discretion 
in using the leased property than ordinary property leases, such as the right to freely sublease the property, to make alterations in the 
leased premises and to terminate the lease prior to its expiration under specified circumstances. Furthermore, net leases typically 
have longer lease terms and, thus, there is an increased risk that contractual rental increases in future years will fail to result in fair 
market rental rates during those years. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates when negotiating 
these long-term leases or if we are unable to obtain any increases in rental rates over the terms of our leases, significant increases in 
future property operating costs, to the extent not covered under the net leases could result in us receiving less than fair value from 
these leases. As a result, our income and distributions to our shareholders could be lower than they would otherwise be if we did not 
engage in long-term net leases.

In addition, increases in interest rates may also negatively impact the value of our properties that are subject to long-term leases. 
While a significant number of our net leases provide for annual escalations in the rental rate, the increase in interest rates may outpace 
the annual escalations.

Our interests in loans receivable, if any, are subject to delinquency, foreclosure and loss.

Our interests in loans receivable, if any, are generally non-recourse and secured by real estate properties owned by borrowers 
that were unable to obtain similar financing from a commercial bank. These loans are subject to many risks including delinquency. 
The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by a real estate property is typically and primarily dependent upon the successful 
operation of such property rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If a borrower were to 
default on a loan, it is possible that we would not recover the full value of the loan as the collateral may be non-performing.

We face uncertainties relating to lease renewals and re-letting of space.

Upon the expiration of current leases for space located in properties in which we have an interest, our property owner subsidiaries 
may not be able to re-let all or a portion of such space, or the terms of re-letting (including the cost of concessions to tenants and 
leasing commissions) may be less favorable than current lease terms or market rates. If our property owner subsidiaries are unable 
to promptly re-let all or a substantial portion of the space located in their respective properties, or if the rental rates a property owner 
subsidiary receives upon re-letting are significantly lower than current rates, our earnings and ability to satisfy our debt service 
obligations and to make expected distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected due to the resulting reduction in rent 
receipts and increase in property operating costs. There can be no assurance that our property owner subsidiaries will be able to retain 
tenants in any of our properties upon the expiration of leases.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations and to pay distributions on our common 
and preferred shares. 

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, to make distributions on our common and preferred shares 
and to fund our operations, working capital and capital expenditures, depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. To a certain 
extent, our cash flow is subject to general economic, industry, financial, competitive, operating, legislative, regulatory and other 
factors, many of which are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from 
operations or that future sources of cash will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay amounts due on our 
indebtedness or to make distributions on our common and preferred shares and fund our other liquidity needs. Additionally, if we 
incur additional indebtedness in connection with future acquisitions or development projects or for any other purpose, our debt 
service obligations could increase.

We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness 
or obtain additional financing will depend on, among other things, our financial condition and market conditions at the time and 
restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness.

As a result, we may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we do not 
generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and additional borrowings or refinancings or proceeds of asset sales or other sources 
of cash are not available to us, we may not have sufficient cash to enable us to meet all of our obligations. Accordingly, if we cannot 
service our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as seeking additional equity, or delaying strategic acquisitions and 
alliances or capital expenditures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We cannot assure you that we 
will be able to effect any of these actions on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

10

Our inability to carry out our growth strategy could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our growth strategy is based on the acquisition and development of additional properties and related assets. In the context of 
our  business  plan,  “development”  generally  means  an  expansion  or  renovation  of  an  existing  property  or  the  financing  and/or 
acquisition  of  a  newly  constructed  build-to-suit  property.  For  newly  constructed  build-to-suit  properties,  we  may  (1)  provide  a 
developer with either a combination of financing for construction of a build-to-suit property or a commitment to acquire a property 
upon completion of construction of a build-to-suit property and commencement of rent from the tenant, (2) acquire a property subject 
to a lease and engage a developer to complete construction of a build-to-suit property as required by the lease, or (3) partner with a 
developer to acquire an undeveloped parcel of land and pursue build-to-suit opportunities.

Our plan to grow through the acquisition and development of new properties could be adversely affected by trends in the real 
estate and financing businesses. The consummation of any future acquisitions will be subject to satisfactory completion of an extensive 
valuation analysis and due diligence review and to the negotiation of definitive documentation. Our ability to implement our strategy 
may be impeded because we may have difficulty finding new properties and investments at attractive prices that meet our investment 
criteria, negotiating with new or existing tenants or securing acceptable financing. If we are unable to carry out our strategy, our 
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Acquisitions of additional properties entail the risk that 
investments will fail to perform in accordance with expectations, including operating and leasing expectations.

Some of our acquisitions and developments may be financed using the proceeds of periodic equity or debt offerings, lines of 
credit or other forms of secured or unsecured financing that may result in a risk that permanent financing for newly acquired projects 
might not be available or would be available only on disadvantageous terms. If permanent debt or equity financing is not available 
on acceptable terms to refinance acquisitions undertaken without permanent financing, further acquisitions may be curtailed, or cash 
available to satisfy our debt service obligations and distributions to shareholders may be adversely affected.

Our acquisition and disposition activity may lead to dilution.

Our asset strategy is to increase our investment in general purpose, well located industrial assets and reduce our exposure to all 
other asset types. We believe this strategy will lessen capital expenditures over time and mitigate revenue reductions on renewals 
and re-tenanting.   To implement this strategy, we have been selling certain office assets, which generally have higher capitalization 
rates, and buying industrial properties, which, in the current competitive market, generally have lower capitalization rates.  This 
strategy impacts growth in the short-term period. There can be no assurance that the implementation of our strategy will lead to 
improved results or that we will be able to execute our strategy as contemplated or on terms acceptable to us.

From time to time, we announce potential lease, financing, disposition or investment commitments or transactions, which may 
not be consummated on the terms we announce or at all.

We publicly communicate potential lease, financing, disposition and investment commitments or transactions in our public 
documents filed with or furnished to the SEC and press releases and on conference calls with analysts and investors.  We can give 
no assurances that any of these commitments or transactions will be consummated to our expectations or at all.  

Acquisition activities may not produce expected results and may be affected by outside factors.

Acquisitions of commercial properties entail certain risks, such as (1) underwriting assumptions, including occupancy,  rental 
rates and expenses, may differ from estimates, (2) the properties may become subject to environmental liabilities that we were 
unaware of at the time we acquired the property despite any environmental testing, (3) we may have difficulty obtaining financing 
on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy 
and (4) projected exit strategies may not come to fruition due to a variety of factors such as market conditions and/or tenant credit 
conditions at the time of dispositions.

We may not be successful in identifying suitable real estate properties or other assets that meet our acquisition criteria. We may 
also fail to complete acquisitions or investments on satisfactory terms. Failure to identify or complete acquisitions could slow our 
growth, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

11

We face certain risks associated with our build-to-suit activities.

From time to time, we engage in, or provide capital to developers who are engaged in, build-to-suit activities. We face uncertainties 
associated with a developer's performance and timely completion of a project, including the performance or timely completion by 
contractors and subcontractors. A developer's performance may be affected or delayed by their own actions or conditions beyond 
the  developer's  control.  If  a  developer,  contractor  or  subcontractor  fails  to  perform,  we  may  resort  to  legal  action  to  compel 
performance, remove the developer or rescind the purchase or construction contract. Legal action may cause further delays and our 
costs may not be reimbursed.

We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to developers before completion 
of construction. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. We also rely on third-
party construction managers and/or engineers to monitor the construction activities.

Upon completion of construction, we are generally responsible to the tenant for any warranty claims. While we generally have 
a warranty from the developer or general contractor that was responsible for construction backstopping our warranty obligations to 
the tenant, we are subject to the risk of enforcement of such developer or general contractor warranty.

We rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of a property upon completion of 
construction when agreeing upon a purchase price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate or markets 
change, we may pay more than the fair value of a property.

In addition, the rental rates for a new build-to-suit project are generally derived from the cost to construct the project and may 

not equal a fair market lease rate for older existing properties in the same market. 

Our multi-tenant properties expose us to additional risks.

Our multi-tenant properties involve risks not typically encountered in real estate properties which are operated by or for a single 
tenant. The ownership of multi-tenant properties could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of suitable tenants may not be 
found to enable the property to operate profitably and provide a return to us. This risk may be compounded by the failure of existing 
tenants to satisfy their obligations due to various factors. These risks, in turn, could cause a material adverse impact to our results 
of operations and business.

Multi-tenant properties are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuation in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating 
results. Furthermore, multi-tenant properties expose us to the risk of potential "CAM slippage," which may occur when the actual 
cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance at the property exceeds the operating expenses paid by tenants and/or the amounts budgeted.

We face possible liability relating to environmental matters.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, as an owner of real property, 
our property owner subsidiaries may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, 
on, in or under the properties in which we have an interest as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic 
substances. These liabilities may include government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. 
These laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of those 
substances. This liability may be imposed on our property owner subsidiaries in connection with the activities of an operator of, or 
tenant at,  the  property. The  cost of  any  required  remediation, removal, fines  or  personal or  property  damages,  and our  liability 
therefore, could be significant and could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of 
those substances, or the failure to properly dispose of or remove those substances, may adversely affect a property owner subsidiary's 
ability to sell or rent that property or to borrow using that property as collateral, which, in turn, would reduce our revenues and ability 
to satisfy our debt service obligations and to make distributions.

A property can also be adversely affected either through physical contamination or by virtue of an adverse effect upon value 
attributable to the migration of hazardous or toxic substances, or other contaminants that have or may have emanated from other 
properties. Although the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental 
damages and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of the tenants of the properties 
in which we have an interest to satisfy any obligations with respect to the property leased to that tenant, our property owner subsidiary 
may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective 
of the provisions of any lease.

12

From time to time, in connection with the conduct of our business, our property owner subsidiaries authorize the preparation of 
Phase I environmental reports and, when recommended, Phase II environmental reports, with respect to their properties.  There can 
be no assurance that these environmental reports will reveal all environmental conditions at the properties in which we have an 
interest or that the following will not expose us to material liability in the future:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the discovery of previously unknown environmental conditions;

changes in law;

activities of tenants; or

activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the properties in which we have an interest.

Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions 
on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations 
of the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of 
operations.

From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

Legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business require time and effort.  The outcomes of legal proceedings are 
subject to significant uncertainty. In the event that we are unsuccessful defending or prosecuting these proceedings, as applicable, 
we may incur a judgment or fail to realize an award of damages that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Uninsured losses or a loss in excess of insured limits could adversely affect our financial condition.

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rent loss insurance on certain of the properties in which we have 
an interest, with policy specifications and insured limits that we believe are customary for similar properties. However, with respect 
to those properties where the leases do not provide for abatement of rent under any circumstances, we generally do not maintain rent 
loss insurance. In addition, certain of our leases require the tenant to maintain all insurance on the property, and the failure of the 
tenant to maintain the proper insurance could adversely impact our investment in a property in the event of a loss. Furthermore, there 
are certain types of losses, such as losses resulting from wars, terrorism or certain acts of God, that generally are not insured because 
they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we 
could lose capital invested in a property as well as the anticipated future revenues from a property, while remaining obligated for 
any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related to the property. Any loss of these types could adversely affect our 
financial condition and results of operations.

Future terrorist attacks, military conflicts and unrest in various parts of the world could have a material adverse effect on general 
economic conditions, consumer confidence and market liquidity.

Terrorist attacks, ongoing and future military conflicts and the continued unrest in various parts of the world may affect commodity 
prices and interest rates, among other things. An increase in interest rates may increase our costs of borrowing, leading to a reduction 
in our earnings. Instability in the price of oil will also cause fluctuations in our operating costs, which may not be reimbursed by our 
tenants. Also, terrorist acts could result in significant damages to, or loss of, our properties or the value thereof.

We and the tenants of the properties in which we have an interest may be unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage on 
acceptable economic terms for losses resulting from acts of terrorism. Our lenders may require that we carry terrorism insurance 
even if we do not believe this insurance is necessary or cost effective. We may also be prohibited under the applicable lease from 
passing all or a portion of the cost of such insurance through to the tenant. Should an act of terrorism result in an uninsured loss or 
a loss in excess of insured limits, we could lose capital invested in a property as well as the anticipated future revenues from a 
property, while our property owner subsidiary remains obligated for any mortgage indebtedness or other financial obligations related 
to the property. Any loss of these types could adversely affect our financial condition.

13

Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise 
or corruption of our confidential information, misappropriation of assets and/or damage to our business relationships, all of 
which could negatively impact our financial results.

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our information 
resources. These incidents may be an intentional attack or an unintentional event and could involve gaining unauthorized access to 
our  information  systems  for  purposes  of  misappropriating  assets,  stealing  confidential  information,  corrupting  data  or  causing 
operational disruption. The result of these incidents may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability 
for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our tenant, investor 
and/or vendor relationships. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed to our information systems, both 
internal and those we have outsourced. Any processes, procedures and internal controls that we implement, as well as our increased 
awareness of the nature and extent of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that our financial results, operations, business 
relationships or confidential information will not be negatively impacted by such an incident.

Networks and information technology throughout the world and in companies of all sizes are threatened by cybersecurity risks 
on a regular basis.  We must continuously monitor and develop our networks and information technology to prevent, detect, address 
and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses and other events that could have a security impact.  Insider 
or employee cyber and security threats are increasingly a concern for all companies, including ours. In addition, social engineering 
and phishing are a particular concern for companies with employees.  We are continuously working to install new, and to upgrade 
our existing, network and information technology systems and to provide employee awareness training around phishing, malware 
and other cyber risks to ensure that we are protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. 
However, such upgrades, new technology and training may not be sufficient to protect us from all risks. 

As a smaller company, we use third-party vendors to assist us with our network and information technology requirements.  While 
we carefully select these third-party vendors, we cannot control their actions.  Any problems caused by these third parties, including 
those resulting from breakdowns or other disruptions in communication services provided by a vendor, failure of a vendor to handle 
current or higher volumes, cyber attacks and security breaches at a vendor could adversely affect our operations.  

Competition may adversely affect our ability to purchase properties.

There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, such as other REITs, financial institutions, such as banks 
and insurance companies, and other investors, such as pension funds, private companies and individuals, with greater financial and 
other resources than we have that compete with us in seeking investments and tenants. Due to our focus on single-tenant properties 
located throughout the United States, and because some competitors are often locally and/or regionally focused, we do not always 
encounter the same competitors in each market. This competition may result in a higher cost for properties and lower returns and 
impact our ability to grow.

Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
operating results and share price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal 
control over financial reporting. Our management previously identified and disclosed a material weakness in the effectiveness of 
our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. We have determined that our remediation plan eliminated this 
weakness, but we cannot assure you that our controls will prevent this or other weaknesses from arising in the future. If we fail to 
maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting in the future, as such standards may be modified, supplemented 
or amended from time to time, we will be required to disclose such failure, and our financial reporting may not be relied on by 
investors. Moreover, effective internal control is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and to maintain our qualification 
as a REIT and is important in helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our 
business and operating results could be harmed, our REIT qualification could be jeopardized, investors could lose confidence in our 
reported financial information, and the trading price of our debt and equity securities could drop significantly.

We may have limited control over our joint venture investments.

Our joint venture investments involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including the possibility 
that our partner might, at any time, become bankrupt, have different interests or goals than we do, or take action contrary to our 
expectations,  its  previous  instructions  or  our  instructions,  requests,  policies  or  objectives,  including  our  policy  with  respect  to 
maintaining our qualification as a REIT. Other risks of joint venture investments include impasses on decisions, such as a sale, 
because  neither  we  nor  our  partner  has  full  control  over  the  joint  venture. Also,  there  is  no  limitation  under  our  organizational 
documents as to the amount of funds that may be invested in joint ventures.

14

Our ability to change our portfolio is limited because real estate investments are illiquid.

Investments in real estate are relatively illiquid and, therefore, our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changed 
conditions is limited. Our Board of Trustees may establish investment criteria or limitations as it deems appropriate, but currently 
does not limit the number or type of properties in which we may seek to invest or on the concentration of investments in any one 
geographic region.

Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles applicable to us and the tenants of 
properties in which we have an interest.

GAAP is subject to interpretation by various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles such 
as the Financial Accounting Standards Board. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our 
reported financial results, could affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement of a change and could affect 
the business practices and decisions of the tenants of properties in which we have an interest.

We have engaged and may engage in hedging transactions that may limit gains or result in losses.

We have used derivatives to hedge certain of our variable-rate liabilities. As of December 31, 2018, we had aggregate interest 
rate swap agreements on $255.0 million of borrowings. The counterparties of these arrangements are major financial institutions; 
however, we are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance or default by the counterparties. Further, additional risks, 
including losses on a hedge position, may reduce the return on our investments. Such losses may exceed the amount invested in such 
instruments. We may also have to pay certain costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs, related to hedging transactions.

Our Board of Trustees may change our investment policy without shareholders' approval.

Subject to our fundamental investment policy to maintain our qualification as a REIT and invest in core assets, our Board of 
Trustees will determine our investment and financing policies, growth strategy and our debt, capitalization, distribution, acquisition, 
disposition and operating policies.

Our Board of Trustees may revise or amend these strategies and policies at any time without a vote by shareholders. Changes 
made by our Board of Trustees may not serve the interests of debt or equity security holders and could adversely affect our financial 
condition or results of operations, including our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations, distribute cash to shareholders and 
qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, shareholders' control over changes in our strategies and policies is limited to the election of trustees.

We are dependent upon our key personnel.

We are dependent upon key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed. We are dependent on certain of our executive 
officers for business direction. The employment agreements with each of T. Wilson Eglin, our Chief Executive Officer and President, 
E. Robert Roskind, our Chairman, and Patrick Carroll, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, expired 
in January 2018.

As part of our succession planning, we entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Roskind which provided for his retirement 
as an executive officer and employee on January 15, 2019. Messrs. Eglin and Carroll will continue in their current positions with us 
subject to certain severance payout rights upon certain termination events.

Our inability to retain the services of any of our key personnel, an unplanned loss of any of their services or our inability to 
replace them upon termination as needed, could adversely impact our operations. We do not have key man life insurance coverage 
on our executive officers.

15

There may be conflicts of interest between E. Robert Roskind and us.

E. Robert Roskind, our Chairman, beneficially owns a significant number of OP units, and as a result, may face different and 
more adverse tax consequences than our other shareholders will if we sell our interests in certain properties or reduce mortgage 
indebtedness on certain properties. Our Chairman may, therefore, have different objectives than us and our debt and equity security 
holders regarding the appropriate pricing and timing of any sale of such properties or reduction of mortgage debt. In addition, an 
affiliate of Mr. Roskind arranges real estate asset financings using funds raised from immigrant investors in accordance with the fifth 
preference employment-based immigration program administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. During 2017, 
we obtained a mezzanine loan from Mr. Roskind's affiliate and during 2018, one of our non-consolidated joint ventures obtained a 
mezzanine loan from Mr. Roskind's affiliate. In the event of an appearance of a conflict of interest and in accordance with our policy 
regarding related party transactions, Mr. Roskind is required to recuse himself from any decision making or seek a waiver of our 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which will be reviewed by the non-conflicted members of our Board of Trustees or the Audit 
Committee of the Board of Trustees.

Costs of complying with changes in governmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our results of operations.

We cannot predict what laws or regulations may be enacted, repealed or modified in the future, how future laws or regulations 
will be administered or interpreted, or how future laws or regulations will affect our properties. Compliance with new or modified 
laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require us or our tenants to incur significant expenditures, impose 
significant liability, restrict or prohibit business activities and could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We disclose Funds From Operations available to common shareholders and unitholders (“FFO”), Adjusted Company Funds 
from Operations available to all equityholders and unitholders (“Adjusted Company FFO”), Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and 
other non-GAAP financial measures in documents filed and/or furnished with the SEC; however, neither FFO, Adjusted Company 
FFO, NOI nor the other non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under 
GAAP or other applicable comparable GAAP measures, and you should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant to our 
operating performance.

We use and disclose to investors FFO, Adjusted Company FFO, NOI and other non-GAAP financial measures. FFO, Adjusted 
Company FFO, NOI and the other non-GAAP financial measures are not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined in 
accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider GAAP measures to be more relevant to evaluating our operating performance. 
FFO, Adjusted Company FFO and NOI, and GAAP net income (loss) differ because FFO, Adjusted Company FFO and NOI exclude 
many items that are factored into GAAP net income or loss. 

Because of the differences between FFO, Adjusted Company FFO, NOI and GAAP net income or loss, FFO, Adjusted Company 
FFO and NOI may not be accurate indicators of our operating performance, especially during periods in which we are acquiring and 
selling properties. In addition, FFO, Adjusted Company FFO and NOI are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund 
cash needs and investors should not consider FFO, Adjusted Company FFO or NOI as alternatives to cash flows from operations, 
as an indication of our liquidity or as indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions 
to our shareholders.

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to 
calculate FFO, Adjusted Company FFO and NOI. Also, because not all companies calculate FFO, Adjusted Company FFO and NOI 
the same way, comparisons with other companies measures with similar titles may not be meaningful.

16

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to fulfill our obligations under the 
documents governing our unsecured indebtedness and otherwise adversely impact our business and growth prospects.

We have a substantial amount of debt.  We are more leveraged than certain of our competitors.  We have incurred, and may 
continue to incur, direct and indirect indebtedness in furtherance of our activities.  Neither our declaration of trust nor any policy 
statement formerly adopted by our Board of Trustees limits the total amount of indebtedness that we may incur, and accordingly, we 
could become even more highly leveraged.  As of December 31, 2018, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $1.5 
billion and we had approximately $505.0 million available for borrowing under our principal credit agreement, subject to covenant 
compliance.

Our  substantial  indebtedness  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  and  have  important 

consequences to us and our debt and equity security holders. For example, it could:

•  make it more difficult for us to satisfy our indebtedness and debt service obligations and adversely affect our ability 

to pay distributions;

increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of interest on and 
principal of our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures 
and other general corporate purposes;

limit  our  ability  to  borrow  money  or  sell  stock  to  fund  our  development  projects,  working  capital,  capital 
expenditures, general corporate purposes or acquisitions;

restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;

place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt; and

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

In  addition,  the  agreements  that  govern  our  current  indebtedness  contain,  and  the  agreements  that  may  govern  any  future 
indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants, which may limit our ability to engage in 
activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default 
that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.

Market interest rates could have an adverse effect on our borrowing costs, profitability and the value of our fixed-rate debt 
securities.

We have exposure to market risks relating to increases in interest rates due to our variable-rate debt. An increase in interest rates 
may increase our costs of borrowing on existing variable-rate indebtedness, leading to a reduction in our earnings. As of December 31, 
2018, we have a $300.0 million unsecured term loan which matures January 2021 that is LIBOR indexed. In addition, we have $129.1 
million of debt that matures in April 2037 which is LIBOR indexed. The level of our variable-rate indebtedness, along with the 
interest rate associated with such variable-rate indebtedness, may change in the future and materially affect our interest costs and 
earnings. In addition, our interest costs on our fixed-rate indebtedness may increase if we are required to refinance our fixed-rate 
indebtedness upon maturity at higher interest rates. Also, fixed rate debt securities generally decline in value as market rates rise 
because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline.

The LIBOR index rate may not be available in the future.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling 
banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed 
that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for 
use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market 
transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition 
plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-
LIBOR and we are monitoring this activity and evaluating the related risks.

17

Potential disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms and have other 
adverse effects on us.

The United States credit markets have periodically experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have 
caused the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances may materially impact liquidity in 
the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases may result in the unavailability of certain 
types of debt financing. Uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional debt financing on 
reasonable terms, which may negatively affect our ability to make acquisitions. A prolonged downturn in the credit markets may 
cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require us to adjust our business plan accordingly. 
In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties 
that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of capital or difficulties in obtaining capital. These events in 
the credit markets may have an adverse effect on other financial markets in the United States, which may make it more difficult or 
costly for us to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. These disruptions in the financial markets 
may have other adverse effects on us, our tenants or the economy in general.

Covenants in certain of the agreements governing our debt could adversely affect our financial condition, investment activities 
and/or operating activities.

Our unsecured revolving credit facility, unsecured term loan and indentures governing our 4.40% and 4.25% Senior Notes 
contain certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions as well as customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations 
on our ability to incur indebtedness and consummate mergers, consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of our assets. Our 
ability to borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility is also subject to compliance with certain other covenants. In addition, 
failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument and we may then be required to 
repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances other sources of capital may not be available to us or be 
available only on unattractive terms. Additionally, our ability to satisfy current or prospective lenders' insurance requirements may 
be adversely affected if lenders generally insist upon greater insurance coverage than is available to us in the marketplace or on 
commercially reasonable terms.

We  rely  on  debt  financing,  including  borrowings  under  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility,  unsecured  term  loan,  debt 
securities, and debt secured by individual properties, for working capital, including to finance our investment activities. If we are 
unable to obtain financing from these or other sources, or to refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition 
and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The documents governing our non-recourse indebtedness contain restrictions on the operations of our property owner subsidiaries 
and their properties. Certain activities, like leasing, may be subject to the consent of the applicable lender. In addition, certain lenders 
engage third-party loan servicers that may not be as responsive as we would be or as the leasing market requires.

A downgrade in our credit ratings could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The credit ratings assigned to us and our debt could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and 
financial condition or the real estate industry generally. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, 
and we cannot assure you that any rating will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in the applicable rating 
agency's judgment, circumstances warrant. Moreover, these credit ratings do not apply to our common and preferred shares and are 
not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any other securities.  Any downgrade of us or our debt could have a material adverse effect 
on the market price of our debt securities and our common and preferred shares. If any credit rating agency that has rated us or our 
debt downgrades or lowers its credit rating, or if any credit rating agency indicates that it has placed any such rating on a so-called 
“watch list” for a possible downgrading or lowering or otherwise indicates that its outlook for that rating is negative, it could also 
have a material adverse effect on our costs and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our 
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to make dividends 
and distributions on our common shares and preferred shares. 

18

We face risks associated with refinancings.

A significant number of the properties in which we have an interest are subject to mortgage or other secured notes with balloon 
payments due at maturity. In addition, our corporate level borrowings require interest only payments with all principal due at maturity.

As of December 31, 2018, the consolidated scheduled balloon payments for the next five calendar years are as follows ($ in 

millions):

Our ability to make the scheduled balloon payments on any corporate recourse note will depend on our access to the capital 
markets, including our ability to refinance the maturing note. Our ability to make the scheduled balloon payment on any non-recourse 
mortgage note will depend upon (1) in the event we determine to contribute capital, our cash balances and the amount available 
under our unsecured credit facility, and (2) the property owner subsidiary's ability either to refinance the related mortgage debt or 
to sell the related property. If the property owner subsidiary is unable to refinance or sell the related property, the property may be 
conveyed to the lender through foreclosure or other means or the property owner subsidiary may declare bankruptcy. 

We face risks associated with returning properties to lenders.

A number of the properties in which we have an interest are subject to non-recourse mortgages, which generally provide that a 
lender's only recourse upon an event of default is to foreclose on the property. In the event these properties are conveyed via foreclosure 
to the lenders thereof, we would lose all of our interest in these properties. The loss of a significant number of properties to foreclosure 
or  through  bankruptcy  of  a  property  owner  subsidiary  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations, 
relationships with lenders and ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

In addition, a lender may attempt to trigger a carve out to the non-recourse nature of a mortgage loan. To the extent a lender is 
successful, the ability of our property owner subsidiary to return the property to the lender may be inhibited and/or we may be liable 
for all or a portion of such loan.

Certain of our indebtedness is subject to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions.

Substantially all of our corporate level borrowings and, in the future, certain of our secured indebtedness may, contain cross-
default  and/or  cross-acceleration  provisions,  which  may  be  triggered  if  we  default  on  certain  indebtedness  in  excess  of  certain 
thresholds. In the event of such a default, the resulting cross defaults and/or cross-accelerations may adversely impact our financial 
condition.

Risks Related to Our Outstanding Debt Securities

The effective subordination of our unsecured indebtedness and any related guaranty may reduce amounts available for payment 
on our unsecured indebtedness and any related guaranty.

The holders of our secured debt may foreclose on the assets securing such debt, reducing the cash flow from the foreclosed 
property available for payment of unsecured debt and any related guaranty. The holders of any of our secured debt also would have 
priority over unsecured creditors in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding.

None of our subsidiaries are guarantors of our unsecured debt; therefore assets of our subsidiaries may not be available to make 
payments on our unsecured indebtedness.

As of December 31, 2018, we were the sole borrower of our unsecured indebtedness and none of our subsidiaries were guarantors 
of our unsecured indebtedness.  In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, holders of 
subsidiary debt, including trade creditors, will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of our subsidiaries 
before any assets are made available for distribution to us.

All of our assets are held through our operating partnership and our other subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flow and our 
ability to meet our debt service obligations depends in large part upon the cash flow of our subsidiaries and the payment of funds by 
our subsidiaries to us in the form of distributions or otherwise.

Risks Related to Lexington's REIT Status

There can be no assurance that Lexington will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We believe that Lexington has met the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with 
its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, and we intend for Lexington to continue to meet these requirements in the future. However, 
qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, for which there are only 
limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The Code provisions and income tax regulations applicable to REITs are more 
complex than those applicable to corporations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within 
our control may affect Lexington's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT. No assurance can be given that Lexington has qualified 
or will remain qualified as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations 
or court decisions will not significantly change the requirements for qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences 
of such qualification. If Lexington does not qualify as a REIT, Lexington would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to 
shareholders in computing its net taxable income. In addition, Lexington's income would be subject to tax at the regular corporate 
rates. Lexington also could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which 
qualification was lost. Cash available to satisfy Lexington's debt service obligations and distributions to its shareholders would be 
significantly reduced or suspended for each year in which Lexington does not qualify as a REIT. In that event, Lexington would not 
be required to continue to make distributions. Although we currently intend for Lexington to continue to qualify as a REIT, it is 
possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause Lexington, without the consent of the shareholders, 
to revoke the REIT election or to otherwise take action that would result in disqualification.

We may be subject to the REIT prohibited transactions tax, which could result in significant U.S. federal income tax liability to 
us.

A REIT will incur a 100% tax on the net income from a prohibited transaction. Generally, a prohibited transaction includes a 
sale or disposition of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. While we believe 
that the dispositions of our assets pursuant to our investment strategy should not be treated as prohibited transactions, whether a 
particular sale will be treated as a prohibited transaction depends on the underlying facts and circumstances. We have not sought and 
do not intend to seek a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding any dispositions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance 
that our dispositions of such assets will not be subject to the prohibited transactions tax. If all or a significant portion of those 
dispositions were treated as prohibited transactions, we would incur a significant U.S. federal income tax liability, which could have 
a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

20

Distribution requirements imposed by law limit our flexibility.

To maintain Lexington's status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Lexington is generally required to distribute to its 
shareholders at least 90% of its taxable income for that calendar year. Lexington's taxable income is determined without regard to 
any deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains. To the extent that Lexington satisfies the distribution requirement 
but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, Lexington will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed 
income. In addition, Lexington will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which its distributions in any year 
are less than the sum of (i) 85% of its ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of its capital gain net income for that year and (iii) 
100% of its undistributed taxable income from prior years. We intend for Lexington to continue to make distributions to its shareholders 
to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code and to reduce exposure to federal income and nondeductible excise taxes. 
Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in determining its taxable income and the effect 
of required debt amortization payments could require Lexington to borrow funds on a short-term basis in order to meet the distribution 
requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT.

Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.

At any time, the federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. 
Any of those new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or you as a debt and/or equity 
security holder. REIT dividends generally are not eligible for the reduced rates currently applicable to certain corporate dividends 
(unless attributable to dividends from taxable REIT subsidiaries and otherwise eligible for such rates). As a result, investment in 
non-REIT corporations may be relatively more attractive than investment in REITs. This could adversely affect the market price of 
our shares.

Tax legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017, makes numerous changes to the tax rules that do not affect the REIT 
qualification rules directly, but may otherwise affect us or our shareholders. For example, the top federal income tax rate for individuals 
was reduced to 37%, there is a new deduction available for certain Qualified Business Income that reduces the top effective tax rate 
applicable to ordinary dividends from REITs to 29.6% (through a 20% deduction for ordinary REIT dividends received) and various 
deductions are eliminated or limited. Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary. There are only minor changes to 
the REIT rules (other than the 20% deduction applicable to individuals for ordinary REIT dividends received). To date, the Internal 
Revenue Service has issued only limited guidance on the changes made by the new legislation. It is unclear at this time whether 
Congress will address these issues or when the Internal Revenue Service will issue additional administrative guidance on the changes 
made by the 2017 legislation.

Risks Related to Our Shares

We may change the dividend policy for our common shares in the future.

The decision to declare and pay dividends on our common shares in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition 
of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Trustees in light of conditions then existing, including 
our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT 
and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors. The actual dividend payable will be determined 
by our Board of Trustees based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and the actual dividend payable may vary from 
such expected amount. In 2018, we announced that we expect a change in our dividend policy for our common shares to reduce the 
quarterly dividend amount as a result of our strategy of investing primarily in industrial assets. Any change in our dividend policy 
could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

We may in the future choose to pay dividends in shares, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the 
cash dividends you receive. 

We may in the future distribute taxable dividends that are payable in shares. Taxable shareholders receiving such dividends will 
be required to include the full amount of the dividend as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and 
profits for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. shareholder may be required to pay income taxes with 
respect to such dividends even though no cash dividends were received. If a U.S. shareholder sells the shares it receives as a dividend 
in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending 
on the market price of the shares at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. shareholders, we may be required to 
withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends. In addition, if a significant number of our shareholders determine to sell such shares 
received in a dividend in order to pay taxes owed on such dividend, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our common 
shares. 

21

Securities eligible for future sale may have adverse effects on our share price.

We have an unallocated universal shelf registration statement and we also maintain a direct share purchase plan, pursuant to 
which we may issue additional common shares. There is no restriction on our issuing additional common or preferred shares, including 
any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common or preferred shares or any 
substantially similar securities. As of December 31, 2018, an aggregate of approximately 3.7 million of our common shares were 
issuable upon the exercise of employee share options and upon the exchange of OP units. Depending upon the number of such 
securities issued, exercised or exchanged at one time, an issuance, exercise or exchange of such securities could be dilutive to or 
otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders or the market price of our common shares.

There are certain limitations on a third party's ability to acquire us or effectuate a change in our control.

Limitations imposed to protect our REIT status. In order to protect against the loss of our REIT status, among other purposes, 
our declaration of trust limits any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding equity shares, defined as 
common shares or preferred shares, subject to certain exceptions. These ownership limits may have the effect of precluding acquisition 
of control of us. Our Board of Trustees has granted a limited waiver of the ownership limits to BlackRock, Inc. with respect to 
BlackRock, Inc.'s mutual funds.

Severance payments under our executive severance policy. Substantial termination payments may be required to be paid under 
our executive severance policy applicable to and related agreements with our executives upon the termination of an executive. If 
those executive officers are terminated without cause, as defined, or resign for good reason, as defined, those executive officers may 
be entitled to severance benefits based on their current annual base salaries and trailing average of recent annual cash bonuses as 
defined  in  our  executive  severance  policy  and  related  agreements  and  the  acceleration  of  certain  non-vested  equity  awards. 
Accordingly, these payments may discourage a third party from acquiring us.

Our ability to issue additional shares. Our declaration of trust authorizes 1,000,000,000 shares of beneficial interest (par value 
$0.0001 per share) consisting of 400,000,000 common shares, 100,000,000 preferred shares and 500,000,000 shares of beneficial 
interest classified as excess stock, or excess shares. Our Board of Trustees is authorized to cause us to issue these shares without 
shareholder approval. Our Board of Trustees may establish the preferences and rights of any such class or series of additional shares, 
which  could  have  the  effect  of  delaying  or  preventing  someone  from  taking  control  of  us,  even  if  a  change  in  control  were  in 
shareholders' best interests. At December 31, 2018, in addition to common shares, we had outstanding 1,935,400 Series C Preferred 
Shares. Our Series C Preferred Shares include provisions, such as increases in dividend rates or adjustments to conversion rates, that 
may deter a change of control. The establishment and issuance of shares of our existing series of preferred shares or a future class 
or series of shares could make a change of control of us more difficult.

Maryland Business Combination Act. The Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, establishes 
special restrictions against “business combinations” between a Maryland REIT and “interested shareholders” or their affiliates unless 
an exemption is applicable. An interested shareholder includes a person who beneficially owns, and an affiliate or associate of the 
trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question was the beneficial owner of, 10% or more of the voting 
power of our then-outstanding voting shares, but a person is not an interested shareholder if the Board of Trustees approved in advance 
the transaction by which such person otherwise would have become an interested shareholder, which approval may be conditioned 
by the Board of Trustees. Among other things, Maryland law prohibits (for a period of five years) a merger and certain other transactions 
between a Maryland REIT and an interested shareholder, or an affiliate of an interested shareholder. The five-year period runs from 
the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any such business combination 
must be recommended by the Board of Trustees and approved by two super-majority shareholder votes unless, among other conditions, 
the common shareholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law) for their shares and the 
consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares. The statute 
permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the Board of Trustees prior 
to the time that the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. The business combination statute could have the effect 
of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if such acquisition would 
be in shareholders' best interests. In connection with the Newkirk Merger, Vornado Realty Trust, which we refer to as Vornado, was 
granted a limited exemption from the definition of “interested shareholder.”

22

Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Maryland law provides that a holder of “control shares” of a Maryland REIT acquired 
in a “control share acquisition” has no voting rights with respect to such shares except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds 
of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Shares owned by the acquirer, by 
our officers or by employees who are our trustees are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. “Control Shares” are voting 
shares that, if aggregated with all other shares previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to 
exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise 
voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-
third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring 
person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained shareholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means 
the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions. If voting rights of control shares acquired in 
a control share acquisition are not approved at a shareholders meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person 
statement as required under the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the 
control shares for fair value, except those for which voting rights have been previously approved. If voting rights of such control 
shares are approved at a shareholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all 
other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt 
under our by-laws will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act does 
not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or statutory share exchange if the Maryland REIT is a party to the transaction, 
or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the declaration of trust or by-laws of the Maryland REIT. Our by-laws contain a provision 
exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. We cannot assure 
you that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Limits on ownership of our capital shares may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control 
of us.

For us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, among other requirements, not more than 50% of the value of our 
outstanding capital shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined for federal income tax 
purposes to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year, and these capital shares must be beneficially owned by 
100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year 
(in each case, other than the first such year for which a REIT election is made). Our declaration of trust includes certain restrictions 
regarding transfers of our capital shares and ownership limits.

Actual or constructive ownership of our capital shares in violation of the restrictions or in excess of the share ownership limits 
contained in our declaration of trust would cause the violative transfer or ownership to be void or cause the shares to be transferred 
to a charitable trust and then sold to a person or entity who can own the shares without violating these limits. As a result, if a violative 
transfer were made, the recipient of the shares would not acquire any economic or voting rights attributable to the transferred shares. 
Additionally, the constructive ownership rules for these limits are complex, and groups of related individuals or entities may be 
deemed a single owner and consequently in violation of the share ownership limits.

However, these restrictions and limits may not be adequate in all cases to prevent the transfer of our capital shares in violation 
of the ownership limitations. The ownership limits discussed above may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone 
from taking control of us, even though a change of control could involve a premium price for the common shares or otherwise be in 
shareholders' best interests.

The trading price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations.

The  market  price  of  our  common  shares  may  fluctuate  in  response  to  company-specific  and  general  market  events  and 
developments, including those described in this Annual Report. In addition, our leverage may impact investor demand for our common 
shares, which could have a material effect on the market price of our common shares.

Furthermore, the public valuation of our common shares is related primarily to the earnings that we derive from rental income 
with respect to the properties in which we have an interest and not from the underlying appraised value of the properties themselves. 
As a result, interest rate fluctuations and capital market conditions can affect the market value of our common shares. For instance, 
if interest rates rise, the market price of our common shares may decrease because potential investors seeking a higher yield than 
they would receive from our common shares may sell our common shares in favor of higher yielding securities.

Item 2. Properties

Real Estate Portfolio

General. As of December 31, 2018, we had equity ownership interests in approximately 135 consolidated real estate properties 
containing approximately 47.6 million square feet of rentable space, which were approximately 95.1% leased based upon net rentable 
square feet. Generally, all properties in which we have an interest are held through at least one property owner subsidiary. 

Ground Leases. Certain of the properties in which we have an interest are subject to long-term ground leases where either the 
tenant of the building on the property or a third party owns and leases the underlying land to the property owner subsidiary. Certain 
of these properties are economically owned through the holding of industrial revenue bonds primarily for real estate tax abatement 
purposes and as such, neither ground lease payments nor bond interest payments are made or received, respectively. For certain of 
the properties held under a ground lease, the ground lessee has a purchase option. At the end of these long-term ground leases, unless 
extended or the purchase option is exercised, the land together with all improvements thereon reverts to the landowner. 

Leverage. As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding mortgages and notes payable of approximately $575.5 million with a 

weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.5% and a weighted-average maturity of 9.5 years.

Property Charts. The following tables list our properties by type, their locations, the primary tenant/guarantor, the net rentable 

square feet, the expiration of the primary lease term and percent leased, as applicable, as of December 31, 2018.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. 
We believe, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those 
normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect 
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Cummins Inc. v. Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (State of Indiana, County of Bartholomew, 
in the Bartholomew Superior Court).  On October 25, 2018, Cummins Inc., the tenant in our Columbus, Indiana office building, filed 
a complaint for declaratory relief against Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P., our property owner subsidiary, and Wells Fargo 
Bank, N.A., the trustee for the noteholders with a security interest in the office building.  Under the subject lease, Cummins Inc.’s 
tenancy extends through July 31, 2024, with options to further extend for additional time periods. Despite failing to timely exercise 
a purchase option for the office building that was expressly due by July 15, 2018, where time was of the essence, Cummins Inc. has 
asked the court for a declaration that it is entitled to purchase the building at the option price and to terminate the lease effective July 
31, 2019. Cummins Inc. does not dispute that it failed to comply with the requirements of the purchase option, but alleges that it is 
entitled to relief under several equitable theories.  We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on January 8, 2019.  We believe that 
Indiana law supports our right to retain ownership of the building, and we intend to vigorously defend this claim.

Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters And Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

PART II.

Market Information. Our common shares are listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “LXP”. 

Holders. As of March 8, 2019, we had approximately 2,688 common shareholders of record.

Dividends. Since our predecessor's formation in 1993, we have made quarterly distributions without interruption.

While we intend to continue paying regular quarterly dividends to holders of our common shares, the authorization of future 
dividend declarations will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, 
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board 
of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends will be affected by a number of factors, including, among 
others, the risks discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report.

We do not believe that the financial covenants contained in our debt instruments will have any adverse impact on our ability to 
pay dividends in the normal course of business to our common and preferred shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to 
maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Direct Share Purchase Plan. We maintain a direct share purchase plan, which has two components, (i) a dividend reinvestment 
component and (ii) a direct share purchase component. Under the dividend reinvestment component, common shareholders and 
holders of OP units may elect to automatically reinvest their dividends and distributions to purchase our common shares. Under the 
direct share purchase component, our current investors and new investors can make optional cash purchases of our common shares. 
The administrator of the plan, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., purchases common shares for the accounts of the participants 
under the plan, at our discretion, either directly from us, on the open market or through a combination of those two options. In 2016, 
we issued approximately 0.6 million common shares under the plan, raising net proceeds of $4.1 million. We did not issue any shares 
under the plan in 2018 and 2017.

Equity Compensation Plan Information. The following table sets forth certain information, as of December 31, 2018, with respect 
to  our Amended  and  Restated  2011  Equity-Based Award  Plan  under  which  our  equity  securities  are  authorized  for  issuance  as

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In this discussion, we have included statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe 
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but 
instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our 
control. These statements may relate to our future plans and objectives, among other things. By identifying these statements for you 
in this manner, we are alerting you to the possibility that our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results 
indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our results to differ, possibly materially, from those 
indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those discussed above in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of 
this Annual Report and “Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in the beginning of this Annual Report.

Introduction

The following is a discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Lexington Realty Trust 
for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, and significant factors that could affect its prospective financial condition 
and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the 
Company included herein and notes thereto.

Overview

General. We are a Maryland REIT that owns a portfolio of equity investments in primarily single-tenant commercial properties, 

with a focus on industrial properties.

As of December 31, 2018, we had equity ownership interests in approximately 135 consolidated real estate properties, located 

in 34 states and encompassing approximately 47.6 million square feet, approximately 95.1% of which was leased.

Business Strategy. Our current business strategy is focused on growing our portfolio of industrial properties, enhancing our cash 
flow stability, reducing lease rollover risk and maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet to allow us to act on opportunities as 
they arise. See “Business” in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report for a detailed description of our current business strategy.   

We expect our business strategy will enable us to continue to improve our liquidity and strengthen our overall balance sheet. 
We believe liquidity and a strong balance sheet will allow us to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise. 

Investment Trends. Making investments in income producing single-tenant net-leased industrial real estate assets is our primary 
focus. The challenge we face is finding investments that will provide an attractive return without compromising our real estate or 
tenant credit underwriting criteria. We believe we have access to acquisition opportunities due to our relationships with developers, 
brokers, corporate users and sellers. However, competition for income producing single-tenant net-leased industrial real estate assets 
has increased. When we acquire real estate assets, we generally look for industrial real estate assets which have one or more of the 
following characteristics (1) a credit-worthy tenant, (2) adaptability to a variety of users, including multi-tenant use, (3) an attractive 
geographic location, and (4) the potential for capital appreciation. 

In recent years, demand for space in the suburban office market has not been as strong as demand for space in the industrial 
market. We believe this is due to a continuing trend of downsizing of corporate office requirements and an increase in the demand 
for regionalized distribution and e-commerce facilities. In addition, industrial assets generally require less capital to maintain and 
re-lease than required by office assets. As of December 31, 2018, our percentage of GAAP rent attributable to industrial assets to 
total GAAP rent was 65.4% compared to 44.3% as of December 31, 2017. We expect to continue the repositioning of the portfolio 
to be more industrial asset based. Our capital recycling strategy may have a near-term dilutive impact on earnings due to sales of 
revenue-producing properties, but we believe in the long term this strategy will benefit shareholder value.

We continue to see capitalization rate compression in the acquisition market for existing industrial product. We expect that as 
interest rates rise, capitalization rates will rise.  However, with the significant amount of competition in the current acquisition market 
for industrial assets, capitalization rates have continued to compress or hold steady even as interest rates rise.

The recent demand for industrial assets has allowed developers to obtain construction financing from traditional banks and build 
on a speculative basis, which has limited our opportunities in the industrial build-to-suit market. In an effort to gain more exposure 
to the build-to-suit industrial market, in December 2017, we acquired a 90% interest in a joint venture with a developer that acquired 
a developable parcel of land. The joint venture intends to source industrial build-to-suit projects for the land and in December 2018, 
Kohl's Corporation committed to the first build-to-suit project for a 1.2 million square foot warehouse/distribution facility, which is 
expected to be completed in 2020 and is subject to a ground lease with us.

39

Some of our industrial investments are, and we expect in the future some will be, subject to leases with shorter terms than 
historically held in our portfolio because we believe renewal and retenanting risks are mitigated because of the fungibility of certain 
industrial assets.

We generally mitigate our cost exposure for build-to-suit properties and forward commitments by requiring purchase agreements, 
development agreements and/or loan agreements to specify a maximum price and/or loan commitment amount prior to our investment. 
Cost overruns are generally the responsibility of the developer or, in some cases, the prospective tenant. To further mitigate risk, we 
believe we perform stringent underwriting procedures such as, among other items, (1) requiring payment and performance bonds 
and/or completion guarantees from developers and/or contractors; (2) engaging third-party construction consultants and/or engineers 
to monitor construction progress and quality; (3) only hiring developers with a proven history of performance; (4) requiring developers 
to provide financial statements and in some cases personal guarantees from principals; (5) obtaining and reviewing detailed plans 
and construction budgets; (6) requiring a long-term tenant lease to be executed prior to funding; and (7) securing liens on the property 
to the extent of construction funding. 

We believe that, despite the addition of some shorter-term industrial leases, the long-term leases with escalating rents we have 
in our portfolio are strengthening our future cash flows by providing a hedge against rising interest rates, extending our weighted-
average lease term, balancing our lease expiration schedule, reducing the average age of our portfolio and supporting our dividend 
objectives.

Leasing Trends. Re-leasing properties that are currently vacant or as leases expire at favorable effective rates is one of our 
primary asset management focuses. The primary risks associated with re-tenanting properties are (1) the period of time required to 
find a new tenant, (2) whether rental rates will be lower than under previous leases, (3) the significance of leasing costs such as 
commissions and tenant improvement allowances and (4) the payment of capital expenditures and operating costs such as real estate 
taxes, insurance and maintenance with no offsetting revenue.

Our property owner subsidiaries seek to mitigate these risks by (1) staying in close contact with our tenants during the lease 
term in order to assess the tenant's current and future occupancy needs, (2) maintaining relationships with local brokers to determine 
the depth of the rental market and (3) retaining local expertise to assist in the re-tenanting of a property. However, no assurance can 
be given that once a property becomes vacant it will subsequently be re-let. Generally, a tenant in a single-tenant office property 
commences lease extension discussions well in advance of lease expiration. If the lease has a year or less remaining until expiration, 
generally, there is a high likelihood that the tenant will not extend the lease for the entire property or at all. Industrial renewals are 
generally not as time sensitive due to the minimal capital expenditures upon renewal as compared with office property renewals.

If a property cannot be re-let to a single user and the property can be adapted to multi-tenant use, we determine whether the 
costs of adapting the property to multi-tenant use outweigh the benefit of funding operating costs while searching for a single-tenant 
and whether selling a vacant property, which limits operating costs and allows us to redeploy capital, is in the best interest of our 
shareholders.

41

Certain of the long-term leases on properties in which we have an ownership interest contain provisions that may mitigate the 
adverse impact of inflation on our operating results. Such provisions include clauses entitling us to receive (1) scheduled fixed base 
rent increases and (2) base rent increases based upon the consumer price index. In addition, a majority of the leases on the single-
tenant properties in which we have an ownership interest require tenants to pay operating expenses, including maintenance, real 
estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses. In addition, the 
leases on single-tenant properties in which we have an ownership interest are generally structured in a way that minimizes our 
responsibility for capital improvements. However, certain of our leases provide for some level of landlord responsibility for capital 
repairs and replacements, the cost of which is generally factored into the rental rate.

Our motivation to release vacant space requires us to meet market demands with respect to rental rates, tenant concessions and 
landlord responsibilities. As a result, the obligations of our property owner subsidiaries on new leases and newly renewed or extended 
leases generally increase to include, among other items, some form of responsibility for capital repairs and replacements. 

During 2018, we entered into 29 consolidated new leases and lease extensions encompassing approximately 1.9 million square 
feet. The average GAAP base rent on these extended leases was approximately $10.11 per square foot compared to the average 
GAAP base rent on these leases before extension of $9.36 per square foot. The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and 
lease commissions during 2018 was approximately $20.08 per square foot for new leases and $2.07 per square foot for extended 
leases. Due to the nature of the expected lease rollovers in coming years, particularly office assets, renewal rents may be lower than 
expiring rents and aggregate tenant improvement allowances and leasing costs may decrease from their current levels in such years. 
The impact of any such lower renewal rent may be mitigated by our capital recycling strategy and our long-term leases with annual 
or periodic rent increases.

We continue to monitor the credit of tenants of properties in which we have an interest by (1) subscribing to rating agency 
information, so that we can monitor changes in the ratings of our rated tenants, (2) reviewing financial statements that are publicly 
available or that are required to be delivered to us under the applicable lease, (3) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and 
their respective businesses and (4) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. 

During 2017 and 2016, we conveyed in foreclosure or via a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure certain properties in which we had an 
interest as we deemed the balance of the non-recourse mortgage loans encumbering the properties were in excess of the value of the 
property collateral. Our property owner subsidiaries may convey properties to lenders or the property owner subsidiary may declare 
bankruptcy in the future if there is no or limited recourse to us and a property owner subsidiary is unable to refinance, re-let or sell 
its vacated property or if a tenant renews at a lower rent or a new tenant pays a lower rent that does not justify a value of the property 
in excess of the mortgage loan balance.

Impairment charges. During 2018, 2017 and 2016, we incurred impairment charges on certain of our assets, excluding loan 
receivables, of $95.8 million, $39.7 million and $100.2 million, respectively, due to each asset's carrying value being below its 
estimated fair value. Most of the impairment charges in 2018 and 2017 were incurred on non-core assets due to anticipated shortened 
holding periods. In 2016, we incurred impairment charges primarily due to the write-off of the deferred rent receivable for the sold 
New York, New York land investments. The real estate assets we sold that resulted in impairment charges were primarily non-core 
assets including land investments, retail properties and under performing and multi-tenant properties. We cannot estimate if we will 
incur, or the amount of, future impairment charges on our assets. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”, of this Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies. Our accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, 
which require our management to make estimates that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities reported and 
related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. A summary of our significant accounting policies which are important to the 
portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations is set forth in note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which 
are included in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.

The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies, which require some of management's most difficult, subjective 

and complex judgments. 

Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments for 
assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and 
improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other 
value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

42

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures and 
equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building 
and  improvements  based  on  our  management's  determination  of  relative  fair  values  of  these  assets.  Factors  considered  by  our 
management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering 
current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, our management includes real estate taxes, 
insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current 
market demand. Our management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions. Our management 
generally retains a third party to assist in the allocations.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-
market lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and management's estimate of current 
market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the 
non-cancelable periods and bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible 
assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, which may consist of in-place leases and/or tenant relationship values, 
is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, 
determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based 
on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense 
over the remaining non-cancelable periods and any bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationships 
is amortized to expense over the applicable lease term plus expected renewal periods. 

Revenue Recognition. We recognize lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic 
and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Revenue is 
recognized on a contractual basis for leases with escalations tied to a consumer price index with no floor. Renewal options in leases 
with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight line rent if the renewals 
are not reasonably assured. In those instances in which we fund tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned 
by us, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space 
is turned over to the tenant. When we determine that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, we commence revenue recognition 
when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a 
deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. We recognize lease 
termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and write off unamortized leases related intangibles and other lease related 
account balances, provided that there are no further obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and balances are recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period.

Impairment of Real Estate. We evaluate the carrying value of all tangible and intangible real estate assets for possible impairment 
when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates its carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation 
includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset. If such cash flows are 
less than the asset's carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset's carrying value exceeds the 
estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results.

Cybersecurity.  While we have yet to experience a cyber attack that disrupted our operations in any material respect, all companies, 
including ours, need to allocate funds to address and protect against cybersecurity threats. Due to the small size of our organization, 
we rely on third-parties to provide advice and services with respect to cybersecurity, which is not currently, but could become, a 
material cost.

Liquidity 

General. Since becoming a public company, our principal sources of liquidity have been (1) undistributed cash flows generated 
from our investments, (2) the public and private equity and debt markets, (3) property specific debt, (4) corporate level borrowings, 
(5) commitments from co-investment partners and (6) proceeds from the sales of our investments. 

Our ability to incur additional debt to fund acquisitions is dependent upon our existing leverage, the value of the assets we are 
attempting to leverage and general economic and credit market conditions, which may be outside of management's control or influence.

43

Cash Flows. We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating and 
administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both 
the short-term and long-term. In addition, we anticipate that cash on hand, corporate level borrowings, capital recycling proceeds, 
issuances of equity and debt, mortgage proceeds and our other principal sources of liquidity will be available to provide the necessary 
capital required to fund our operations and allow us to grow. 

Cash flows from operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows totaled $217.8 million for 2018, $227.9 
million for 2017 and $239.8 million for 2016. Cash flows from operations have been decreasing primarily due to dispositions as we 
reshape our portfolio to have a higher concentration of industrial assets versus other asset types. Industrial assets, as compared with 
office assets, generally provide for less rental revenue due to lower capitalization rates than can be obtained from office assets. The 
underlying drivers that impact working capital and therefore cash flows from operations are the timing of (1) the collection of rents 
and tenant reimbursements and loan interest payments from borrowers, and (2) the payment of interest on mortgage debt and operating 
and general and administrative costs. We believe the net-lease structure of the leases encumbering a majority of the properties in 
which we have an interest mitigates the risks of the timing of cash flows from operations since the payment and timing of operating 
costs related to the properties are generally borne directly by the tenant. Collection and timing of tenant rents is closely monitored 
by management as part of our cash management program.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled $554.9 million in 2018, $(283.1) million in 2017 and $11.4 million 
in 2016. Cash provided by investing activities related primarily to proceeds from the sale of properties, collection of loans receivable, 
distributions from non-consolidated entities in excess of accumulated earnings and changes in deposits. Cash used in investing 
activities related primarily to investments in real estate properties, co-investment programs, payments of deferred leasing costs and 
changes in deposits. Therefore, the fluctuation in investing activities relates primarily to the timing of investments and dispositions.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $(707.6) million in 2018, $49.6 million in 2017 and $(237.3) million 
in 2016. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of common shares, and 
non-recourse mortgage and corporate borrowings. Cash used in financing activities related primarily to dividend and distribution 
payments, repurchases of common shares, redemption of a noncontrolling interest, payments of deferred financing costs, payment 
of developer liabilities and debt payments and repurchases.

Public and Private Equity and Debt Markets. We access the public and private equity and debt markets when we (1) believe 
conditions are favorable and (2) have a compelling use of proceeds. Due to our borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving 
credit facility and proceeds from dispositions and mortgage financings, we did not access the public debt markets in 2018, 2017 or 
2016.

During 2015, our Board of Trustees authorized a 10.0 million common share repurchase program. The share repurchase program 
does not expire. During 2018, we repurchased and retired approximately 5.9 million common shares for an aggregate $47.2 million, 
which was at an average price of $8.05 per share. During 2018, our Board of Trustees increased the authorization by an additional 
10.0 million shares and approximately 10.7 million common shares remain available for repurchase at December 31, 2018. We have 
continued to, and in the future may, repurchase our common shares in the context of our overall capital plan, and to the extent we 
believe market volatility offers prudent investment opportunities based on our common share price versus net asset value per share.  

We expect to continue to access debt and equity markets in the future to implement our business strategy and to fund future 
growth. However, general economic uncertainty and the volatility in these markets can make accessing these markets more difficult 
at times.

UPREIT Structure. Our UPREIT structure permits us to effect acquisitions by issuing OP units to a property owner as a form 
of consideration in exchange for the property. Substantially all outstanding OP units are redeemable by the holder at certain times 
on a one OP unit for approximately 1.13 common shares basis or, at our election, with respect to certain OP units, cash. Substantially 
all outstanding OP units require us to pay quarterly distributions to the holders of such OP units equal to the dividends paid to our 
common shareholders on an as redeemed basis and the remaining OP units have stated distributions in accordance with their applicable 
partnership agreement. To the extent that our dividend per share is less than a stated distribution per unit per the applicable partnership 
agreement, the stated distributions per unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in our dividend. We are party to a funding 
agreement with our operating partnership under which we may be required to fund distributions made on account of OP units. No 
OP units have a liquidation preference. In recent years there has not been a great demand for OP units and, as a result, we expect the 
percentage of common shares that will be outstanding in the future relative to OP units will increase, and income attributable to 
noncontrolling interests should be expected to decrease, as such OP units are redeemed for our common shares. Furthermore, our 
credit agreement requires us to own at least 95.5% of Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., or LCIF.

44

As of December 31, 2018, there were 3.2 million OP units outstanding which were convertible into 3.6 million common shares 

assuming we satisfied redemptions entirely with common shares.

Property Specific Debt. As of December 31, 2018, our consolidated property owner subsidiaries had aggregate balloon payments 
of $76.1 million and $32.0 million maturing in 2019 and 2020, respectively. With respect to mortgages encumbering properties where 
the expected lease rental revenues are sufficient to provide an estimated property value in excess of the mortgage balance, we believe 
our property owner subsidiaries have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet these obligations through future cash flows from operations, 
the credit markets and, if determined appropriate by us, a capital contribution from us from either cash on hand ($168.8 million at 
December 31, 2018), property sale proceeds or borrowing capacity on our primary credit facility ($505.0 million as of December 31, 
2018, subject to covenant compliance). 

In the event that the estimated property value is less than the mortgage balance, as the mortgages encumbering the properties 
in which we have an interest are generally non-recourse to us and the property owner subsidiaries, a property owner subsidiary may, 
if appropriate, satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the property to the lender or permitting a lender to foreclose. 
There are significant risks associated with conveying properties to lenders through foreclosure which are described in "Risk Factors" 
in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report.

In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we obtained, through our consolidated property owner subsidiaries, $26.4 million, $45.4 million and 
$254.7 million, respectively, in non-recourse mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 4.0% to 5.4% and maturity dates ranging 
from 2022 to 2036. Our secured debt decreased to approximately $575.5 million at December 31, 2018 compared to $697.1 million 
at December 31, 2017. We expect to continue to use property specific, non-recourse mortgages in certain situations as we believe 
that by properly matching a debt obligation, including the balloon maturity risk, with the terms of a lease, our cash-on-cash returns 
increase and the exposure to residual valuation risk is reduced. In addition, we may procure credit tenant lease financing in certain 
situations where we are able to monetize all or a significant portion of the rental revenues of a property at an attractive rate. We 
believe our financing strategy will also allow us to further lower our financing costs and improve our cash flow, financial flexibility 
and certain credit metrics.

During 2018, our unsecured credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as agent, was amended to release LCIF as a 
borrower and make other related changes. A summary of the significant terms of our unsecured credit agreement, as of December 
31, 2018, are as follows:

(1)   Maturity date can be extended to August 2020 at our option. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 0.85% to 1.55%. At December 31, 2018, the unsecured 

revolving credit facility had no borrowing outstanding and availability of $505.0 million subject to covenant compliance.

(2)  The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 0.90% to 1.75%. We had aggregate interest-rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component at a weighted-average 
rate of 1.42% through January 2019 on $255.0 million of the $300.0 million outstanding LIBOR-based borrowings. During 2018, we satisfied in full the $300 
million term loan due in 2020.

As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our corporate level debt agreements.

During 2007, we issued $200.0 million in Trust Preferred Securities, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.804% through April 
2017 and, thereafter, bears interest at a variable rate of three month LIBOR plus 170 basis points. These securities are (1) classified 
as debt, (2) due in 2037 and (3) currently redeemable by us. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were $129.1 million of these 
securities outstanding.

45

 
Co-investment Programs and Joint Ventures. We have entered into co-investment programs and joint ventures with institutional 
investors and other real estate companies to mitigate our risk in certain assets and increase our return on equity to the extent we earn 
management or other fees. However, investments in co-investment programs and joint ventures limit our ability to make investment 
decisions unilaterally relating to the assets and limit our ability to deploy capital. Due to our size, we do not expect to enter into co-
investment programs and joint ventures seeking future investments, except with developers for industrial assets. In 2018, we sold 
21 office assets to a newly-formed joint venture in which we acquired a 20% interest. We believe this joint venture complemented 
our current business strategy by partially reducing our exposure to office assets.

Capital Recycling. Part of our strategy to effectively manage our balance sheet involves pursuing and executing well on property 
dispositions and recycling of capital. During 2018, we disposed of our interests in certain consolidated properties for an aggregate 
gross price of $1.1 billion, which included the sale of a 21-office asset portfolio to the newly-formed joint venture. These proceeds 
were used to retire indebtedness encumbering properties in which we have an interest and corporate debt obligations and make 
investments. 

As capitalization rates have compressed in recent years, we have continued to look at opportunities to recycle capital with a 
focus on capturing the value of our multi-tenant and retail properties and reducing our exposure to the suburban office sector. The 
increase in asset values may result in our selling more properties than we acquire in any given year. We will continue to look at 
capital recycling opportunities as part of the ongoing effort to further transform our portfolio, with a greater emphasis on suburban 
office dispositions and non-core asset dispositions, in individual or portfolio transactions. We believe capital recycling (1) provides 
cost effective and timely capital support for our investment activities and (2) allows us to maintain line capacity and cash in advance 
of what we expect to be a growing investment pipeline. 

Liquidity  Needs.  Our  principal  liquidity  needs  are  the  contractual  obligations  set  forth  under  the  heading  “Contractual 

Obligations,” below, and the payment of dividends to our shareholders and distributions to the holders of OP units. 

As  of  December 31,  2018,  we  had  approximately  $1.5  billion  of  indebtedness,  consisting  of  mortgages  and  notes  payable 
outstanding, a term loan, 4.40% and 4.25% Senior Notes and Trust Preferred Securities, with a weighted-average interest rate of 
approximately 4.0%. The ability of a property owner subsidiary to make debt service payments depends upon the rental revenues of 
its property and its ability to refinance the mortgage related thereto, sell the related property, or access capital from us or other sources. 
A property owner subsidiary's ability to accomplish such goals will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the real 
estate industry, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report.

If we are unable to satisfy our contractual obligations and other operating costs with our cash flow from operations, we intend 
to use borrowings and proceeds from issuances of equity or debt securities. If a property owner subsidiary is unable to satisfy its 
contractual  obligations  and  other  operating  costs,  it  may  default  on  its  obligations  and  lose  its  assets  in  foreclosure  or  through 
bankruptcy proceedings. 

We  elected  to  be  taxed  as  a  REIT  under  Sections 856  through  860  of  the  Code,  commencing  with  our  taxable  year  ended 
December 31, 1993. If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on our 
net taxable income that is currently distributed to shareholders. 

In connection with our intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we expect to continue paying 
regular dividends to our shareholders. These dividends are expected to be paid from operating cash flows and/or from other sources. 
Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investments, we generally intend to maintain a conservative 
dividend  payout  ratio,  reserving  such  amounts  as  we  consider  necessary  for  the  maintenance  or  expansion  of  properties  in  our 
portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as our 
Board of Trustees considers appropriate.

We paid approximately $175.5 million in cash dividends to our common and preferred shareholders in 2018. Although our 
property owner subsidiaries receive the majority of our base rental payments on a monthly basis, we intend to continue paying 
dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution are invested by us in short-term money market 
or other suitable instruments.

46

Capital Resources

General. Due to the net-lease structure of a majority of our investments, our property owner subsidiaries historically have not 
incurred significant expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the properties in which we have an interest. As leases 
expire, we expect our property owner subsidiaries to incur costs in extending the existing tenant leases, re-tenanting the properties 
with a single-tenant, or converting the property to multi-tenant use. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly depending 
on tenant negotiations, market conditions and rental rates. 

Single-Tenant Properties. We do not anticipate significant capital expenditures at the single-tenant properties in which we have 
an interest that are subject to net or similar leases since the tenants at these properties generally bear all or substantially all of the 
cost  of  property  operations,  maintenance  and  repairs.  However,  at  certain  properties  subject  to  net  leases,  our  property  owner 
subsidiaries are responsible for replacement and/or repair of certain capital items, which may or may not be reimbursed. In addition, 
at certain single-tenant properties that are not subject to a net lease, our property owner subsidiaries have a level of property operating 
expense responsibility, which may or may not be reimbursed. 

Multi-Tenant Properties. Primarily as a result of non-renewals at single-tenant net-lease properties, we have interests in multi-
tenant properties in our consolidated portfolio. While tenants are generally responsible for increases over base year expenses, our 
property owner subsidiaries are generally responsible for the base-year expenses and capital expenditures, and are responsible for 
all expenses related to vacant space, at these properties. 

Vacant Properties. To the extent there is a vacancy in a property, our property owner subsidiary would be obligated for all 
operating expenses, including capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance. When a property is vacant, our property owner 
subsidiary may incur substantial capital expenditure and releasing costs to re-tenant the property. However, we believe that, over the 
long term, our focus on industrial assets will result in significant savings compared to investing in office assets due to the lower 
operating and retenanting costs of industrial assets compared to office assets.

Property Expansions. Under certain leases, tenants have the right to expand the facility located on a property in which we have 
an interest. In the past, our property owner subsidiary has generally funded, and in the future our property owner subsidiary may 
fund, these property expansions with either additional secured borrowings, the repayment of which was, and will be, funded out of 
rental increases under the leases covering the expanded properties, or capital contributions from us. 

Ground Leases. The tenants of properties in which we have an interest generally pay the rental obligations on ground leases 
either directly to the fee holder or to our property owner subsidiary as increased rent. However, our property owner subsidiaries are 
responsible for these payments (1) under certain leases without reimbursement and (2) at vacant properties. 

Environmental Matters. Based upon management's ongoing review of the properties in which we have an interest, management 
is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of these properties that would be reasonably likely to have a material 
adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that (1) the discovery of environmental conditions, which were previously 
unknown, (2) changes in law, (3) the conduct of tenants or (4) activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the properties in which 
we  have  an  interest,  will  not  expose  us  to  material  liability  in  the  future.  Changes  in  laws  increasing  the  potential  liability  for 
environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant 
unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of the tenants of properties in which we have an interest.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2018 compared with December 31, 2017. The increase in total gross revenues in 2018 of $3.7 million 
was primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue of $4.9 million, offset by a decrease in tenant reimbursements of $1.2 
million. The increase in rental revenue was primarily due to revenue from properties acquired in 2018 and 2017 of $34.9 million 
and the acceleration of below-market lease intangible accretion on three retail assets of $10.4 million, partially offset by a reduction 
of $39.9 million of rental revenue due to property sales and a $0.3 million decrease in revenue recognized from lease terminations.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $5.8 million primarily due to the sale of real estate properties in 2018 and 2017.

The decrease in property operating expense of $6.5 million was primarily due to reduced operating costs associated with sold 
properties, including vacant properties and a reduction in transaction costs, partially offset by 2018 and 2017 property acquisitions 
with operating expense responsibilities and an increase in operating costs at certain properties due to tax abatements expiring.

The decrease in general and administrative expense of $2.5 million was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, primarily 

legal costs incurred in a litigation.

The $2.05 million litigation settlement recognized in 2017 represented the settlement amount related to a lender claim regarding 

an office property that we owned in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

Non-operating income decreased by $6.9 million primarily due to the collection of loans receivable in 2017 and $3.9 million 
of earnings recognized in 2017 due to the write-off of unearned contingent acquisition consideration relating to a prior build-to-suit 
project.

The increase in interest and amortization expense of $2.0 million was primarily due to an increase in our overall borrowing rate 

and amount of debt outstanding during the period, coupled with a reduction in capitalized interest.

The change in debt satisfaction charges, net, of $8.8 million was primarily due to the timing of debt retirements, including the 

repayment of the 2020 term loan.

The increase in impairment charges of $50.8 million related to the timing of impairment charges recognized on certain properties, 
primarily due to potential sales, vacancies and lack of leasing prospects. The increase was also due to our intention to dispose of 
non-industrial assets, thus shortening the holding period of certain assets.

The increase in gains on sales of properties of $189.5 million related primarily to the timing of sales of our properties, and was 

principally comprised of $174.6 million relating to the sale/contribution of 21 office assets to NNN JV. 

The change in equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated entities of $2.6 million was primarily due to the timing of gains 
recognized on the sale of non-consolidated investments and an impairment charge recognized in 2017 on our investment in Palm 
Beach Gardens, Florida where the sole tenant filed for bankruptcy. 

The increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $2.4 million was primarily due to an increase in net income 

of LCIF in 2018 compared to 2017.

The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders of $141.8 million was primarily due to the items discussed 

above.

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared with December 31, 2016. The decrease in total gross revenues in 2017 of $37.9 million 
was primarily attributable to a decrease in rental revenue of $38.2 million. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily due to a 
reduction of $66.1 million of rental revenue due to property sales, and a $14.1 million decrease in revenue recognized from lease 
terminations, partially offset by revenue from property acquisitions in 2017 and 2016 of $42.9 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.9 million primarily due to the acquisition of real estate properties in 2017 and 

2016.

The increase in property operating expense of $1.8 million was primarily due to costs incurred on properties acquired in 2017 
and 2016, costs incurred on vacant properties prior to sale and an increase in transaction costs, offset by reduced operating costs 
associated with sold properties.

The increase in general and administrative expense of $3.1 million was primarily due to an increase in professional fees, primarily 

legal costs incurred in a litigation.

The $2.05 million litigation settlement recognized in 2017 represented the settlement amount related to a lender claim regarding 

an office property that we owned in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

Non-operating income decreased by $2.7 million primarily due to the collection of loans receivable in 2017, partially offset by 
$3.9 million of earnings recognized in 2017 due to the write-off of unearned contingent acquisition consideration relating to a prior 
build-to-suit project.

The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $10.1 million was primarily due to the satisfaction of mortgage debt in 

connection with property sales and a decrease in the interest rate on our $129.1 million of trust preferred securities.

The  change  in  debt  satisfaction  gains,  net,  of  $7.2  million  was  primarily  due  to  the  timing  of  debt  retirements,  including 

foreclosures.

The decrease in impairment charges of $55.2 million related primarily to the impairment recognized on the sale of three land 

investments in New York, New York due to the write-off of the deferred rent receivable in 2016.

The decrease in gains on sales of properties of $18.1 million related primarily to the timing of sales of our properties. 

The increase in the provision for income taxes of $0.5 million related primarily to state taxes.

The change in equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated entities of $8.4 million was primarily due to the timing of gains 
recognized on the sale of non-consolidated investments, partially offset by an impairment charge recognized in 2017 on our investment 
in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida where the sole tenant filed for bankruptcy. 

The decrease in net income attributable to common shareholders of $10.0 million was primarily due to the items discussed 

above.

The increase in net income or decrease in net loss in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by us.  
Without acquisitions, the sources of growth in net income are limited to fixed rent adjustments and index adjustments (such as the 
consumer price index), reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and variable rate indebtedness and by controlling other 
variable overhead costs.  However, there are many factors beyond management's control that could offset these items including, 
without limitation, increased interest rates and tenant monetary defaults and the other risks described in this Annual Report.

Same-Store Results

Same-store net operating income, or NOI, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents the NOI for consolidated properties that were 
owned and included in our portfolio for three comparable reporting periods. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental income 
(less GAAP rent adjustments and lease termination income), tenant reimbursements and other property income) less property operating 
expenses. As same-store NOI excludes the change in NOI from acquired and disposed of properties, it highlights operating trends 
such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating 
same-store NOI, and accordingly same-store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Management believes that same-store NOI 
is a useful supplemental measure to be used by Management and investors to assess the Company's operating performance. However, 
same-store NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company's financial performance since it does not reflect the 
operations of the Company's entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related 
expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other nonproperty income and losses, the level of capital expenditures 
and  leasing  costs  necessary  to  maintain  the  operating  performance  of  the  Company's  properties,  or  trends  in  development  and 
construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact the Company's results of 
operations. Lexington believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same-store NOI.

The following presents our consolidated same-store NOI, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 ($000):

Our reported same-store NOI decreased from 2017 to 2018 by 0.2% and decreased by 0.6% from 2016 to 2017. The primary reason 
for the decrease in same-store NOI between periods primarily related to vacancy. As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, our 
historical same-store square footage leased was 92.1%, 98.9% and 99.1%, respectively.

We believe that Funds from Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure 
of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties 
in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical 
cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably 
over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance 
measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating 
costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing 
perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as “net income (calculated in accordance 
with GAAP), excluding  depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sales of certain real estate 
assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities 
when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling 
items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 
to FFO.” FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash 
available to fund cash needs.

We present FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - basic and also present FFO available to all equityholders 
and unitholders - diluted on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into our common 
shares, are converted at the beginning of the period. We also present Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders and 
unitholders - diluted, which adjusts FFO available to all equityholders and unitholders - diluted for certain items which we believe 
are not indicative of the operating results of our real estate portfolio. We believe this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently 
requested by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate these measures in a similar 
fashion, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. These measures should not be 
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure 
of liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2018, we had investments in various real estate entities with varying structures. The real estate investments 
owned by these entities are generally financed with non-recourse debt. Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the 
lenders' sole recourse with respect to borrower defaults is limited to the value of the assets collateralized by the debt. The lender 
generally does not have recourse against any other assets owned by the borrower or any of the members or partners of the borrower, 
except for certain specified exceptions listed in the particular loan documents. These exceptions generally relate to "bad boy" acts, 
including fraud, prohibited transfers and breaches of material representations. We have guaranteed such obligations for certain of 
our non-consolidated entities.

Contractual Obligations

The following summarizes our principal contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018 ($000's):

1.  Includes balloon payments. 
2.  Includes variable-rate debt at the rate in effect at December 31, 2018. Variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2018 is comprised of $129.1 million Trust Preferred 
Securities (90-day LIBOR plus 1.7% and matures 2037) and $45.0 million term loan (LIBOR plus 1.1% and matures 2021). Also a $255.0 million term loan, 
which was subject to interest rate swap agreements that expired in in January 2019, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.1% after expiration of the interest rate swap 
agreements.

3.  Includes ground lease payments and office rents. Amounts disclosed do not include rents that adjust to fair market value. In addition, certain ground lease payments 

due under bond leases allow for a right of offset between the lease obligation and the debt service and accordingly are not included. 

In addition, from time to time we may guarantee certain tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of 
certain property owner subsidiaries when required by the related tenant or lender. However, we do not believe these guarantees are 
material to us as the obligations under and risks associated with such guarantees are priced into the rent under the lease or the value 
of the property.

consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market-Risk

Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our variable-rate indebtedness not subject to interest rate swaps and our fixed-
rate debt. Our consolidated aggregate principal variable-rate indebtedness was $174.1 million and $384.1 million at December 31, 
2018 and 2017, respectively, which represented 11.6% and 18.4%, respectively, of our aggregate principal consolidated indebtedness. 
During 2018 and 2017, our variable-rate indebtedness had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.2% and 2.7%, respectively. Had the 
weighted-average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, our interest expense for 2018 and 2017 would have increased by $4.9 
million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, our aggregate principal consolidated fixed-rate debt was 
$1.3 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, which represented 88.4%  and 81.6%, respectively, of our aggregate principal indebtedness. 

For  certain  of  our  financial  instruments,  fair  values  are  not  readily  available  since  there  are  no  active  trading  markets  as 
characterized by current exchanges between willing parties. Accordingly, we derive or estimate fair values using various valuation 
techniques, such as computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks 
involved. However, the determination of estimated cash flows may be subjective and imprecise. Changes in assumptions or estimation 
methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. The following fair value was determined using the interest 
rates that we believe our outstanding fixed-rate debt would warrant as of December 31, 2018 and is indicative of the interest rate 
environment as of December 31, 2018, and does not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate fluctuations. 
Accordingly, we estimate that the fair value of our fixed-rate debt was $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2018.

Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our 
overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the 
use of fixed-rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. We have 
historically entered into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a 
related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2018, 
we had five interest rate swap agreements in our consolidated portfolio, all of which expired in January 2019.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lexington Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Company") as 
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity 
and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and the schedule listed in 
the Index at Item 15 for the year ended December 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, 
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 
2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
and our report dated March 12, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error 
or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether 
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial 
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and Trustees of Lexington Realty Trust

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Lexington Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of 
December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, 
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - 
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, of the Company and our report 
dated March 12, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment 
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal 
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with 
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material 
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material 
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Trustees and Shareholders
Lexington Realty Trust:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and 
cash flows for Lexington Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2016. In connection with 
our audit, we also have audited the accompanying financial statement schedule III for the year ended December 31, 2016. The 
2016 consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on 
our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable 
basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of Lexington Realty Trust 
and subsidiaries’ operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting  principles. Also  in  our  opinion,  the  related  financial  statement  schedule,  when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic 
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein for 
the year ended December 31, 2016. 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for how 
certain cash receipts and cash payments, as well as restricted cash, are presented and classified in the consolidated statement of 
cash flows in 2016 due to the adoption of ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash 
Receipts and Cash Payments, and ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, respectively.

LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($000, except share/unit data)

 (1)  

The Company

Lexington Realty Trust (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except when the context only applies to the parent entity, 
the “Company”) is a Maryland statutory real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns a diversified portfolio of equity 
investments in single-tenant commercial properties.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had equity ownership interests in approximately 135 consolidated properties located 
in 34 states. The properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily net-leased to tenants in various industries.

The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at 
least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain 
activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities 
are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS 
are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities.

The  Company  conducts  its  operations  either  directly  or  indirectly  through  (1)  property  owner  subsidiaries  and  lender 
subsidiaries, which are single purpose entities, (2) an operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), 
in which the Company is the sole unit holder of the general partner and the sole unit holder of the limited partner that holds 
a majority of the limited partner interests, (3) a wholly-owned TRS, Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. (“LRA”), and (4) 
investments in joint ventures. References to “OP Units” refer to units of limited partner interests in LCIF. Property owner 
subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan 
agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an interest and lender subsidiaries are lenders under loan 
agreements where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases are separate and distinct legal entities. 
Each property owner subsidiary is a separate legal entity that maintains separate books and records. The assets and credit 
of each property owner subsidiary with a property subject to a mortgage loan are not available to creditors to satisfy the 
debt  and  other  obligations  of  any  other  person,  including  any  other  property  owner  subsidiary  or  any  other  affiliate. 
Consolidated entities that are not property owner subsidiaries do not directly own any of the assets of a property owner 
subsidiary  (or  the  general  partner,  member  or  managing  member  of  such  property  owner  subsidiary),  but  merely  hold 
partnership, membership or beneficial interest therein, which interests are subordinate to the claims of such property owner 
subsidiary's (or its general partner's, member's or managing member's) creditors.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual 
basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements 
reflect  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries.  The  Company  consolidates  its  wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means 
other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the 
Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted 
for under appropriate GAAP.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs as it has a controlling financial interest in these entities. LCIF, 
which is consolidated and in which the Company has an approximate 96% interest, is a VIE.

The Company had a joint venture limited partnership that owned the Lake Jackson, Texas property, with a developer which 
was a consolidated VIE. In 2017, upon the closeout of the build-to-suit project, the developer earned notional capital of 
$7,951, which was simultaneously redeemed by the limited partnership for $7,951. The Company treated the payment as 
a reduction in shareholders equity in accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23. As a result, the limited partnership, which is still 
consolidated, is wholly-owned by the Company and no longer a VIE.

The assets of each VIE are only available to satisfy such VIE's respective liabilities. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 
the VIEs' mortgages and notes payable were non-recourse to the Company. Below is a summary of selected financial data

In addition, the Company acquires, from time to time, properties using a reverse like-kind exchange structure pursuant to 
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (a "reverse 1031 exchange") and, as such, the properties are in the possession 
of an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder ("EAT") until the reverse 1031 exchange is completed.  The EAT is classified 
as a VIE as it is a “thinly capitalized” entity. The Company consolidates the EAT because it is the primary beneficiary as it 
has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and can collapse the  
reverse 1031 exchange structure at any time. The assets of the EAT primarily consist of leased property (net real estate and 
intangibles).

Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) reduced by preferred 
dividends and amounts allocated to certain non-vested share-based payment awards, if applicable, by the weighted-average 
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are similarly computed 
but include the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options and non-vested common shares, OP units and 
put options of certain convertible securities.

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of 
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based 
on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis 
using historical experience and other factors, including the economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates 
when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, 
allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination 
of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets and equity method 
investments, valuation of derivative financial instruments, valuation of awards granted under compensation plans and the 
useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 
Accounting  Standards  Codification  ("ASC")  Topic  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures  ("Topic  820"),  to 
determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework 
for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value 
hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted 
prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable 
prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable 
inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 
1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that 
maximize  the  use  of  observable  inputs  and  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs  to  the  extent  possible,  as  well  as 
considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 
with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless 
another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the 
leased property. Revenue is recognized on a contractual basis for leases with escalations tied to a consumer price index with 
no floor. Renewal options in leases with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the 
calculation of straight-line rent if the renewals are not reasonably assured. If the Company funds tenant improvements and 
the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements 
are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. If the Company determines 
that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control 
of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and 
amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Company recognizes lease 
termination fees as rental revenue in the period received and writes off unamortized lease-related intangible and other lease-
related account balances, provided there are no further Company obligations under the lease. Otherwise, such fees and 
balances are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period with the termination payments being 
recorded as a component of rent receivable-deferred on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments 
for assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, 
building and improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and 
below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. 
Prior to January 1, 2018, acquisition and pursuit costs were expensed as incurred and were included in property operating 
expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, which were $2,171 and $836 for 2017 and 2016, 
respectively.  Effective  January  1,  2018,  the  Company's  acquisitions  are  primarily  considered  asset  acquisitions  and 
acquisition costs are now capitalized. 

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures 
and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land 
and  building  and  improvements  based  on  management's  determination  of  relative  fair  values  of  these  assets.  Factors 
considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-
up  periods  considering  current  market  conditions  and  costs  to  execute  similar  leases.  In  estimating  carrying  costs, 
management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during 
the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases 
including leasing commissions. Management generally retains a third party to assist in the allocations.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-
market lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and management's estimate 
of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental 
revenue over the non-cancelable periods and bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are 
recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion 
of the respective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationship values, is 
measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if 
vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationship 
values based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease. The value of in-place leases 
is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods and any bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. 
The value of tenant relationships is amortized to expense over the applicable lease term plus expected renewal periods.

Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic useful lives of the properties. 
The Company generally depreciates its real estate assets over periods ranging up to 40 years.

Impairment of Real Estate. The Company evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible real estate assets held 
for investment for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates its carrying 
value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows 
to be derived from the asset. If such cash flows are less than the asset's carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized 
to the extent by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, which may be below the balance of any 
non-recourse financing. Estimating future cash flows and fair values is highly subjective and such estimates could differ 
materially from actual results.

($000, except share/unit data)

Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities. The Company accounts for its investments in 50% or less owned entities under 
the  equity  method,  unless  consolidation  is  required.  If  the  Company's  investment  in  the  entity  is  insignificant  and  the 
Company has no influence over the control of the entity then the entity is accounted for under the cost method.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments. The Company assesses whether there are indicators that the value of its equity 
method investments may be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only if the Company determines that a decline 
in the value of the investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is highly 
subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about the Company's intent and ability to 
recover its investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment, including the level of the Company's 
involvement therein, among other factors. To the extent an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the loss is 
measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. The Company evaluates loans receivable where the Company 
participates in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether the Company has the same 
risks and rewards as an owner or a joint venture partner. Where the Company concludes that such arrangements are more 
appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, the Company reflects such loan receivable as an equity investment in 
real estate under construction in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In these cases, no interest income is recorded on the loan 
receivable and the Company records capitalized interest during the construction period. In arrangements where the Company 
engages a developer to construct a property or provide funds to a tenant to develop a property, the Company will capitalize 
the  funds  provided  to  the  developer/tenant  and  internal  costs  of  interest  and  real  estate  taxes,  if  applicable,  during  the 
construction period.

Properties Held For Sale. Assets and liabilities of properties that meet various held for sale criteria, including whether it is 
probable that a sale will occur within 12 months, are presented separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The operating 
results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations only if the 
sale of these assets represents a strategic shift in operations; if not, the operating results are included in continuing operations. 
Properties classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell 
and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted 
for as operating properties.

Deferred Expenses. Deferred expenses consist primarily of revolving line of credit debt and leasing costs. Debt costs are 
amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the terms of the debt instruments 
and leasing costs are amortized over the term of the related lease.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company accounts for its interest rate swap agreements in accordance with FASB 
ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("Topic 815"). In accordance with Topic 815, these agreements are carried on 
the balance sheet at their respective fair values, as an asset if fair value is positive, or as a liability if fair value is negative. 
If the interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the interest rate swap's change in fair 
value is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss); the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in 
earnings as an increase or decrease to interest expense.

Upon entering into hedging transactions, the Company documents the relationship between the interest rate swap agreement 
and the hedged item. The Company also documents its risk-management policies, including objectives and strategies, as 
they relate to its hedging activities. The Company assesses, both at inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether 
or not the hedge is highly effective. The Company will discontinue hedge accounting on a prospective basis with changes 
in the estimated fair value reflected in earnings when (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting 
cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions), (2) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction 
will  occur  or  (3) it  is  determined  that  designating  the  derivative  as  an  interest  rate  swap  is  no  longer  appropriate. The 
Company does and may continue to utilize interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage interest rate risk, but does not 
anticipate entering into derivative transactions for speculative trading purposes.

Stock Compensation. The Company maintains an equity participation plan. Non-vested share grants generally vest either 
based upon (1) time, (2) performance and/or (3) market conditions. Options granted under the plan in 2010 vested over a 
five-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan in 2008 vested upon attainment 
of certain market performance measures and expired ten years from the date of grant. All share-based payments to employees, 
including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their 
fair  values.  The  Company  has  made  an  accounting  policy  election  to  account  for  share-based  award  forfeitures  in 
compensation costs when they occur.

($000, except share/unit data)

Tax Status. The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a REIT for federal 
income  tax  purposes. Accordingly,  the  Company  generally  will  not  be  subject  to  federal  income  tax,  provided  that 
distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Sections 856 through 
860 of the Code.

The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities from which it was previously precluded in order to maintain 
its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable REIT 
subsidiaries under the Code. As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these 
activities.

Income taxes, primarily related to the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries, are accounted for under the asset and liability 
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences 
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating 
loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the 
year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less 
from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash is comprised primarily of cash balances held in escrow by lenders.

Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, 
an owner of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, 
on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities 
may include government fines, penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose 
liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances. 
Although  most  of  the  tenants  of  properties  in  which  the  Company  has  an  interest  are  primarily  responsible  for  any 
environmental damage and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of the tenant 
of such premises to satisfy any obligations with respect to such environmental liability, or if the tenant is not responsible, 
the Company's property owner subsidiary may be required to satisfy any such obligations, should they exist. In addition, 
the property owner subsidiary, as the owner of such a property, may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims 
irrespective of the provisions of any lease. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was not aware of any environmental 
matter relating to any of its investments that would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting. The Company operates generally in one industry segment, single-tenant real estate assets.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 
current year's presentation.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2018. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows 
(Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses how certain cash receipts and 
cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, 
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of 
changes in restricted cash. Restricted cash balances are now included along with cash and cash equivalents as of the end of 
the period and beginning of period, respectively, in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for all periods 
presented.  In  addition,  separate  line  items  showing  changes  in  restricted  cash  balances  are  now  eliminated  from  the 
Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. These ASUs were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
2017, including interim periods within those years. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented 
but may apply it prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Company adopted these ASUs 
effective January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. The effect of the adoption resulted in (1) a $109 and $4,537 change in 
cash flows from operating activities for 2017 and 2016, respectively, (2) a $(23,958) and $21,571 change in cash flows 
from investing activities for 2017 and 2016, respectively, and (3) a $(2,899) and $(5,603) change in cash flows from financing 
activities for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,  
which clarifies the definition of a business when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions 
(or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU was effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The 
Company expects that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the revised definition of a business 
and thus will be treated as asset acquisitions. Acquisition costs for those acquisitions that are not businesses will be capitalized 
rather than expensed. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The Company's 
property acquisitions in 2018 were accounted for as asset acquisitions. The Company's adoption of this guidance did not 
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In  May  2014,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (Topic  606),  as  subsequently 
amended, which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance 
and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance was effective for 
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company’s revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases 
that are not within the scope of this standard as leases are excluded from ASU 2014-09. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue 
recognition for real estate sales is largely based on the transfer of control and the buyer having the ability to direct the use 
of, or obtain substantially all of the remaining benefit from, the asset (which generally will occur on the closing date); the 
factor of continuing involvement is no longer a specific consideration for the timing of recognition. The Company adopted 
ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. As the majority of the Company’s 
revenue is from rental income related to leases, the adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidated 
financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial 
Assets (Topic 610-20), which requires that all entities account for the derecognition of a business in accordance with ASC 
810, including instances in which the business is considered in-substance real estate.  The ASU requires the Company to 
measure at fair value any retained interest in a partial sale of real estate. The Company adopted ASU 2017-05 effective 
January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, however there was no impact to prior balances as there were 
no open contracts at the date of adoption. During 2018, the Company entered into a transaction in which it contributed 
consolidated properties to a newly-formed joint venture and acquired a 20% interest in the joint venture. See note 7.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires 
lessees  to  recognize  a  right  of  use  asset  and  related  lease  liability  for  those  leases  classified  as  operating  leases  at  the 
commencement date that have lease terms of more than 12 months and amends certain lessor guidance. The Company 
expects the ASU to result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and related liability to primarily account for the Company's 
future obligations under its ground lease arrangements for which the Company is the lessee. The Company estimates that 
its initial right-of-use asset and lease liability will be within a range of $35,000 to $45,000 at adoption. 

From a lessor perspective, the Company expects that lease components will primarily be recognized on a straight-line basis 
over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 originally stated that companies would be required to bifurcate certain lease revenues 
between  lease  and  non-lease  components;  however,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-11,  Leases  (Topic  842):  Targeted 
Improvements in July 2018, which allows lessors a practical expedient by class of underlying assets to account for lease 
and non-lease components as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 requires that 
the Company capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. Historically, 
the Company has capitalized lease commissions and "other" lease related costs, primarily legal expenses. Effective January 
1, 2019, the Company will not capitalize these "other" costs, however, the Company does not believe these will be material.

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. ASU 
2016-02 originally required a modified retrospective method of adoption; however, under ASU 2018-11 companies may 
elect to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The 
Company will adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2019 utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment outlined in ASU 
2018-11. In addition, the Company will elect several practical expedients afforded to it at implementation.

In  August  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU-2017-12,  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815):  Targeted  Improvements  to 
Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in Topic 
815. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated 
financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

A significant portion of the Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and 
as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. 
Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the 
security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated 
losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of real estate assets may 
be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant financial instability, change in 
the estimated holding period of an asset and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to 
be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value and the Company estimates that its cost will 
not be  recovered. During 2018,  2017 and 2016,  the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges  on  real estate 
properties of $95,813, $39,702 and $100,195, respectively. During 2018, $36,620 of the impairment charges of $95,813 
were recognized on properties owned at December 31, 2018. The Company's office assets in Overland Park, Kansas and 
Kansas City, Missouri incurred an aggregate $23,496 of impairment charges due to a reduction in the anticipated holding 
period and leasing prospects. During 2017, $18,023 of the impairment charges of $39,702 were recognized on properties 
held  at  December  31,  2017. The  Company's  office  asset  in  Florence,  South  Carolina  and  industrial  asset  in  Memphis, 
Tennessee incurred an aggregate $15,008 of the impairment charges due to a reduction in anticipating holding period. The 
2016 impairment charges include an aggregate impairment charge of $65,500 recognized on the sale of three land investments 
in New York, New York.

In February 2017, the Company recognized a $5,294 loan loss on the assignment of a loan receivable secured by a hospital 
in Kennewick, Washington.

The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, 
such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swaps utilizes 
Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its 
counterparties. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative 
to the overall interest rate swaps was not significant. As a result, all interest rate swaps have been classified in Level 2 of 
the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets, including non-consolidated real estate assets, by using income 
and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as recent sale offers 
or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash 
inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected 
future  rental  revenues  and  expenses  and  forecasted  tenant  improvements  and  lease  commissions  based  upon  market 
conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other 
owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these 
models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current 
market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical 
location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company under-estimates forecasted cash outflows 
(tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or over-estimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue 
rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

The fair value of the Company's debt is primarily estimated utilizing Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow analysis, 
based upon estimates of market interest rates. The Company determines the fair value of its Senior Notes using market 
prices. The inputs used in determining the fair value of these notes are categorized as Level 1 due to the fact that the Company 
uses  quoted  market  rates  to  value  these  instruments.  However,  the  inputs  used  in  determining  the  fair  value  could  be 
categorized as Level 2 if trading volumes are low.

Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets 
and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, 
and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, 
could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value 
of  cash  equivalents,  restricted  cash,  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable  approximates  carrying  value  due  to  the 
relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Company recognized a gain of $14,645 in connection with the contribution of the two office assets to NNN JV, and in addition, NNN JV assumed 
an aggregate of $103,400 of non-recourse mortgage debt in the transaction. NNN JV obtained an aggregate of $362,800 of non-recourse mortgage 
financing which bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years but can be extended for two additional terms of

Oklahoma office property for $6,198. In January 2016, the Company received $6,681 in connection with the sale of a non-
consolidated  office  property  in  Russellville, Arkansas. The  Company  recognized  gains  of  $1,777,  $1,452  and  $5,378, 
respectively, in connection with these sales, which are included in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities.

During 2017, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $3,512 on its investment in a retail property in Palm Beach 
Gardens, Florida due to the bankruptcy of its tenant. This impairment charge reduced the Company's investment balance 
to zero. During 2018, the property was sold in a foreclosure sale.

LRA earns advisory fees from certain of these non-consolidated entities for services related to acquisitions, asset management

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business 
operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and 
operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including 
interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and 
the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage 
exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, 
the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage 
differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected 
cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to 
interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to 
the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish these objectives the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of 
its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated 
as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making 
fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded 
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the 
hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is 
recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not incur any ineffectiveness during 2018, 2017 and 2016.

The Company has designated the interest rate swap agreements with its counterparties as cash flow hedges of the risk of 
variability attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rates on $255,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate unsecured term 
loans. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified 
to earnings as interest becomes receivable or payable. 

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest 
expense as interest payments are made on the aggregate $255,000 term loans. During the next 12 months, the Company 
estimates that an additional $76 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense if the swaps remain outstanding.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash 
flow hedges of interest rate risk:

The Company's agreements with the swap derivative counterparties contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults 
on the underlying indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the 
lender, then the Company could also be declared in default of the swap derivative obligation. As of December 31, 2018, 
the Company had not posted any collateral related to the agreements.

Leases

Lessor:

Minimum future rental receipts under the non-cancelable portion of tenant leases, assuming no new or re-negotiated leases, 
for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

The  above  minimum  lease  payments  do  not  include  reimbursements  to  be  received  from  tenants  for  certain  operating 
expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases.

Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease if the property is deemed obsolete, as defined, and upon payment 
of a termination fee to the landlord, as stipulated in the lease. In addition, certain leases provide the tenant with the right to 
purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price.

Lessee:

The Company holds, through property owner subsidiaries, leasehold interests in various properties. Generally, the ground 
rents on these properties are either paid directly by the tenants to the fee holder or reimbursed to the Company as additional 
rent. Certain properties are economically owned through the holding of industrial revenue bonds and as such neither ground 
lease payments nor bond debt service payments are made or received, respectively. For certain of these properties, the 
Company has an option to purchase the fee interest.

Rent expense for the leasehold interests was $597, $690 and $987 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The  Company  leases  its  corporate  headquarters.  The  lease  expires  March  2026.  The  Company  is  responsible  for  its 
proportionate share of operating expenses and real estate taxes above a base year. In addition, the Company leases office 
space for its regional offices. The minimum lease payments for the Company's offices are $1,295 for 2019, $1,296 for 2020, 
$1,325 for 2021, $1,335 for 2022 and $1,304 for 2023 and $2,935 thereafter. Rent expense for 2018, 2017 and 2016 was 
$1,274, $1,256 and $1,242, respectively.

(12) 

Concentration of Risk

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant 
industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the years 
ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates 
this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

(13) 

Equity

Shareholders' Equity:

During 2016, the Company issued 577,823 common shares under its direct share purchase plan, which includes a dividend 
reinvestment component, raising net proceeds of approximately $4,115. In 2018 and 2017, no shares were issued under this 
plan. During 2013, the Company implemented, and in 2016, the Company updated, its At-The-Market offering program 
under which the Company may issue up to $125,000 in common shares over the term of this program. During 2017 and 
2016, the Company issued 1,593,603 and 976,109 common shares, respectively, under this program and generated aggregate 
gross proceeds of $17,362 and $10,498, respectively. No shares were sold under this program in 2018. The proceeds from 
these issuances were primarily used for general working capital, to fund investments and retire indebtedness.

The Company had 1,935,400 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred”) outstanding 
at December 31, 2018. The shares have a dividend of $3.25 per share per annum, have a liquidation preference of $96,770, 
and the Company, if certain common share prices are achieved, can force conversion into common shares of the Company. 
As of December 31, 2018, each share was convertible into 2.4339 common shares. This conversion ratio may increase over 
time if the Company's common share dividend exceeds certain quarterly thresholds.

If certain fundamental changes occur, holders may require the Company, in certain circumstances, to repurchase all or part 
of their shares of Series C Preferred. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will, 
under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may 
in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the shares of Series C Preferred becoming convertible into 
shares of the public acquiring or surviving company.

82

LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($000, except share/unit data)

The Company may, at the Company's option, cause shares of Series C Preferred to be automatically converted into that 
number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion 
right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company's common shares equals or exceeds 125% of the then 
prevailing conversion price of the Series C Preferred.

Investors in shares of Series C Preferred generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company 
fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters and under certain other circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company may 
choose to deliver the conversion value to investors in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares.

During 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 965,932, 835,234 and 1,084,835 of its common shares, respectively, to 
certain  employees  and  trustees. Typically,  trustee  share  grants  vest  immediately.  Employee  share  grants  generally  vest 
ratably, on anniversaries of the grant date, however, in certain situations vesting is cliff-based after a specific number of 
years and/or subject to meeting certain performance criteria (see note 14).

In July 2015, the Company's Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 common shares and increased 
this authorization by 10,000,000 common shares in 2018. This share repurchase program has no expiration date. During 
2018 and 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 5,851,252 and 1,184,113, respectively, common shares at an average 
price of $8.05 and $7.56, respectively, per common share under this share repurchase program. No shares were repurchased 
in 2017. There were $2,641 of unsettled repurchases as of December 31, 2018.

In  conjunction  with  several  of  the  Company's  acquisitions  in  prior  years,  sellers  were  issued  OP  units  as  a  form  of 
consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, 
at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are 
classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities 
as  defined  by  GAAP.  Each  OP  unit  is  currently  redeemable  for  approximately  1.13  common  shares,  subject  to  future 
adjustments.

During 2018, 2017 and 2016, 53,388, 140,746 and 48,549 common shares, respectively, were issued by the Company, in 
connection with OP unit redemptions, for an aggregate value of $189, $584 and $210, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, there were approximately 3,177,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the 
Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with the LCIF partnership agreement. To the extent that the 
Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the LCIF partnership agreement, 
the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP 
units have a liquidation preference.

Benefit Plans

The Company maintains an equity award plan pursuant to which qualified and non-qualified options may be issued. No
common share options were issued in 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company granted 1,248,501, 1,265,500 and 2,000,000
common share options on December 31, 2010 (“2010 options”), January 8, 2010 (“2009 options”) and December 31, 2008 
(“2008 options”), respectively, at an exercise price of $7.95, $6.39 and $5.60, respectively. The 2010 options (1) vested 
20% annually on each December 31, 2011 through 2015 and (2) terminate on the earlier of (x) six months of termination 
of service with the Company and (y) December 31, 2020. The 2009 options (1) vested 20% annually on each December 
31, 2010 through 2014 and (2) terminate on the earlier of (x) six months of termination of service with the Company and 
(y) December 31, 2019. The 2008 options (1) vested 50% following a 20-day trading period where the average closing price 
of a common share of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) was $8.00 or higher and vested 50% 
following a 20-day trading period where the average closing price of a common share of the Company on the NYSE was 
$10.00 or higher, and (2) terminated on the earlier of (x) termination of service with the Company or (y) December 31, 
2018. As a result of the share dividends paid in 2009, each of the 2008 options were exchangeable for approximately 1.13
common shares at an exercise price of $4.97 per common share.

The Company engaged third parties to value the options as of each option's respective grant date. The third parties determined 
the value to be $2,422 and $2,771 for the 2010 options and 2009 options, respectively, using the Black-Scholes model and 
$2,480 for the 2008 options using the Monte Carlo model. The options are considered equity awards as they are settled 
through the issuance of common shares. As such, the options were valued as of the grant date and do not require subsequent 
remeasurement. There  were  several  assumptions  used  to  fair  value  the  options  including  the  expected  volatility  in  the 
Company's common share price based upon the fluctuation in the Company's historical common share price. The more 
significant assumptions underlying the determination of fair value for options granted were as follows:

Weighted-average fair value of options granted
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate
Weighted-average expected option lives (in years)
Weighted-average expected volatility
Weighted-average expected dividend yield

The Company recognized compensation expense relating to these options over an average of 5.0 years for the 2010 options 
and 2009 options and 3.6 years for the 2008 options. All deferred compensation costs relating to the outstanding options 
were fully amortized by December 31, 2015. The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the market value of 
the underlying common share at the date the option is exercised exceeds the exercise price of the option. The total intrinsic 
value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $26 and $1,064, respectively.

In addition, during 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 66,318, 57,334, and 50,816, respectively, of fully vested 
common shares to non-management members of the Company's Board of Trustees with a fair value of $599, $596, and 
$427, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, of the remaining 3,455,077 non-vested shares, 1,495,608 are subject to time-based vesting and 
1,959,469 are subject to performance-based vesting. At December 31, 2018, there are 4,012,870 awards available for grant. 
The Company has $7,915 in unrecognized compensation costs relating to the non-vested shares that will be charged to 
compensation expense over an average of approximately 2.1 years. 

The Company has established a trust for certain officers in which vested common shares granted for the benefit of the 
officers are deposited. The officers exert no control over the common shares in the trust and the common shares are available 
to the general creditors of the Company. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 427,531 common shares in the 
trust.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan covering all eligible employees. The Company makes a discretionary 
matching contribution on a portion of employee participant salaries and, based on its profitability, may make an additional 
discretionary contribution at each fiscal year end to all eligible employees. These discretionary contributions are subject to 
vesting under a schedule providing for 25% annual vesting starting with the first year of employment and 100% vesting 
after four years of employment. Approximately $397, $439 and $357 of contributions are applicable to 2018, 2017 and 
2016, respectively.

During 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $6,901, $8,333 and $8,415, respectively, in expense relating to 
scheduled vesting and issuance of common share grants.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has an indemnity obligation to Vornado Realty Trust ("VNO"), one of its significant shareholders, with respect 
to actions by the Company that affect Vornado Realty Trust's status as a REIT.

All related party transactions are approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of Trustees or the Audit 
Committee as provided for in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Company leased a property to an entity in which VNO, a significant shareholder, has an interest. During 2017 and 
2016, the Company recognized $234 and $236, respectively, in rental revenue from this property. This property was sold 
in 2017. The Company leases its corporate office from an affiliate of Vornado Realty Trust. Rent expense for this property 
was $1,192, $1,179 and $1,176 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In connection with efforts, on a non-binding basis, to procure non-recourse mezzanine financing from an affiliate of the 
Company's Chairman, pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the United States Citizenship and 
Immigration Services (“USCIS”), for a joint venture investment in Houston, Texas, in which the Company has an investment, 
the Company executed a guaranty in favor of an affiliate of its Chairman. The guaranty provided that the Company will 
reimburse investors providing the funds for such financing if the following occurs: (1) the joint venture receives such funds, 
(2) the USCIS denies the financing solely because the project is not permitted under the EB-5 visa program, and (3) the 
joint venture fails to return such funds. During 2017, USCIS approved the project, and the guaranty terminated by its terms. 
In 2018, the joint venture obtained $8,500 of EB-5 mezzanine financing from an affiliate of the Company's Chairman. The 
joint venture reimbursed the Chairman's affiliate $150 for its expenses. Under an indemnity agreement, the joint venture is 
required to pay an affiliate of the Company's Chairman 0.625% of the outstanding principal amount of the EB-5 mezzanine 
financing per annum.

In addition, during 2017, the Company obtained non-recourse mezzanine financing in the initial amount of $8,000 from an 
affiliate of the Company's Chairman, pursuant to the terms of the EB-5 visa program administered by the USCIS, for an 
investment in Charlotte, North Carolina. In January 2018, the Company obtained an additional $500 of financing proceeds. 
The Company reimbursed the Chairman's affiliate approximately $105 for its expenses and paid a $128 structuring fee to 
the Chairman's affiliate. The property was subsequently contributed to, and the financing assumed by, NNN JV.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes relates primarily to the taxable income of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries. The 
earnings, other than in taxable REIT subsidiaries, of the Company are not generally subject to federal income taxes at the 
Company level due to the REIT election made by the Company.

Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income 
taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and 
liabilities.

The Company's provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 is summarized as follows:

In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere, the Company has the following commitments and 
contingencies.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases, including its proportionate share for leases for non-consolidated 
entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee 
to tenants the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease 
commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries. 

The Company and LCIF are parties to a funding agreement under which the Company may be required to fund distributions 
made on account of LCIF's OP units. Pursuant to the funding agreement, the parties agreed that, if LCIF does not have 
sufficient cash available to make a quarterly distribution to its limited partners in an amount in accordance with the partnership 
agreement, Lexington will fund the shortfall. Payments under the agreement will be made in the form of loans to LCIF and 
will bear interest at prevailing rates as determined by the Company in its discretion but, no less than the applicable federal 
rate. LCIF's right to receive these loans will expire if no OP units remain outstanding and all such loans are repaid. No 
amounts have been advanced under this agreement.

From time to time, the Company is directly or indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of 
business. Management believes, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that 
although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, 
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Cummins  Inc.  v.  Lexington  Columbus  (Jackson  Street)  L.P.  and  Wells  Fargo  Bank,  N.A.  (State  of  Indiana,  County  of 
Bartholomew, in the Bartholomew Superior Court).  On October 25, 2018, Cummins Inc., the tenant in the Company's 
Columbus, Indiana office building, filed a complaint for declaratory relief against Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) 
L.P., the Company's property owner subsidiary, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the trustee for the noteholders with a security 
interest in the office building.  Under the subject lease, Cummins Inc.’s tenancy extends through July 31, 2024, with options 
to further extend for additional time periods. Despite failing to timely exercise a purchase option for the office building that 
was expressly due by July 15, 2018, where time was of the essence, Cummins Inc. has asked the court for a declaration that 
it is entitled to purchase the building at the option price and to terminate the lease effective July 31, 2019. Cummins Inc. 
does not dispute that it failed to comply with the requirements of the purchase option, but alleges that it is entitled to relief 
under several equitable theories.  Lexington Columbus (Jackson Street) L.P. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on 
January 8, 2019.  The Company believes that Indiana law supports the Company's right to retain ownership of the building, 
and the Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company maintained an executive severance policy and entered into related agreements with 
certain of its executive officers whereby the Company's executives are entitled to severance benefits upon certain events. 
In  January  2018,  the  Company  entered  into  retirement  agreements  with  two  of  its  then  executive  officers.  One  of  the 
retirement  agreements  provides  for  contingent  payments,  not  to  exceed  $795,  in  2020  following  the  receipt  of  certain 
incentive fees by the Company, if any. As of December 31, 2018, $89 of these contingent payments was earned.

The sum of the quarterly income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and per common share amounts may not equal 
the full year amounts primarily because the computations of amounts allocated to participating securities and the weighted-
average number of common shares of the Company outstanding for each quarter and the full year are made independently.

Not applicable. 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and  operation  of  our  “disclosure  controls  and  procedures”  (as  defined  in 
Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, was made under 
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer 
who are our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, respectively. Management, including our Chief Executive 
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 
2018.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for 
performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  Our system of 
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting 
and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles.  Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally 
accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our 
management and the members of our Board of Trustees; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection 
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined 
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with U.S. generally 
accepted accounting principles.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.  In assessing 
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used as guidance the criteria established in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based 
upon the assessment performed, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of 
December 31, 2018. 

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, which audited the financial statements included in 
this Annual Report on Form 10-K that contain the disclosure required by this Item, independently assessed the effectiveness of the 
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP has issued an unqualified report on the Company's 
internal control over financial reporting, which is included in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of 
this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018, we operated and tested the previously reported remediation plan resulting 
from the material weakness reported as of December 31, 2016. Other than the operation and testing of such remediation plan, there 
were no other changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange 
Act) during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, 
our internal control over financial reporting.
