The reader should review carefully our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as Item 1A. entitled “Risk Factors” in this report. Summary Risk Factors Set forth below is a summary of the risks described under Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K: Risks Related to Our Business and Operations • • • Our portfolio of properties is concentrated in the industrial real estate sector and our business would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector. Our portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions and is geographically concentrated in Southern California infill markets, which causes us to be especially susceptible to adverse developments in those markets. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions intended to prevent its spread and local governments’ actions impacting our ability to collect rent could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations. Our properties are concentrated in certain industries that make us susceptible to adverse events with respect to those industries. • • We may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of properties that meet our criteria, which may impede our growth. • • We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire, or renewing existing leases may require significant concession, Our future acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect. inducements and/or capital expenditures. • We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. • A substantial majority of the leases at our properties are with tenants who have non-investment grade credit ratings, which may result in our leasing to tenants that are more likely to default in their obligations to us than a tenant with an investment grade credit rating. Risks Related To Our Capital Structure • Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our debt level reduces cash available for distribution and may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations. • • Mortgage and other secured debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or • group of properties subject to mortgage debt. Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured notes and certain of our other secured loans contain, and any other future indebtedness we incur may contain, various covenants, including business activity restrictions, and the failure to comply with those covenants could materially adversely affect us. Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry • Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry. Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure • • Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of common units, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders. Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control, which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest. • We are a holding company with no direct operations and, as such, we will rely on funds received from our Operating Partnership to pay liabilities, and the interests of our stockholders will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities and obligations of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. 2 Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT • Failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us and the per share trading price of our common stock. 3 Item 1. Business Company Overview References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “our company,” or “the Company” refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise), including Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which we are the sole general partner and which we refer to in this report as our Operating Partnership. In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. We are a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning, operating and acquiring industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate primarily located in Southern California infill markets, and from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 248 properties with approximately 31.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage an additional 20 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We are generally not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. Business Objectives and Growth Strategies Our primary business objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders through dividends and capital appreciation. We believe that pursuing the following strategies will enable us to achieve this objective: Internal Growth through Intensive, Value-Add Asset Management. We employ an intensive asset management strategy that is designed to increase cash flow and occupancy from our properties. Our strategy includes proactive renewal of existing tenants, re-tenanting to achieve higher rents, and repositioning industrial property by renovating, modernizing or increasing functionality to increase cash flow and value. For example, we sometimes convert formerly single-tenant properties to multi-tenant occupancy to capitalize upon the higher per square foot rents generated by smaller spaces in our target markets in addition to adding or improving loading access and increasing fire, life-safety and building operating systems, among other value-add initiatives. We believe that by undertaking such conversions or other functional enhancements, we can position our properties to attract a larger universe of potential tenants, increase occupancy, tenant quality and rental rates. We also believe that multi-tenant properties, as well as single mid-size buildings, help to limit our exposure to tenant default risk and to diversify our sources of cash flow. Additionally, our proactive approach to leasing and asset management is driven by our in-house leasing department and team of portfolio and property managers who maintain direct, day-to-day relationships and dialogue with our tenants, which we believe enhances recurring cash flow and reduces periods of vacancy. External Growth through Acquisitions. We continue to grow our portfolio through disciplined acquisitions in prime Southern California infill markets. We believe that our relationship-, data- and event-driven research allows us to identify and exploit asset mispricing and market inefficiencies. We seek to acquire assets with value-add opportunities to increase their cash flow and asset values, often targeting off-market or lightly marketed transactions where our execution abilities and market credibility encourage owners to sell assets to us at what we consider pricing that is more favorable than heavily marketed transactions. We also seek to source transactions from owners with generational ownership shift, fund divestment, sale-leaseback/corporate surplus, maturing loans, some facing liquidity needs or financial stress, including loans that lack economical refinancing options. We also believe our deep market presence and relationships may enable us to selectively acquire assets in marketed transactions that may be difficult to access for less focused buyers. Competitive Strengths We believe that our investment strategy and operating model distinguishes us from other owners, operators and acquirers of industrial real estate in several important ways, including the following: 4 Focus on Industrial Assets in Southern California’s Infill Market: We intend to continue our core strategy of owning and operating industrial properties within Southern California’s infill regions. Infill markets are considered high-barrier to entry markets with scarcity of vacant or developable land and high concentrations of people, jobs, housing, income, wages and consumption. We believe Southern California’s infill industrial property market is the largest, most fragmented industrial market in the nation, demonstrating favorable long-term tenant demand fundamentals in the face of an ongoing scarcity and diminishment of supply. We have a portfolio of interests in 248 properties totaling approximately 31.5 million square feet, which are all located in Southern California infill markets. Diversified Tenant Mix: Our portfolio is leased to a broad tenant base, drawn from diverse industry sectors. We believe that this diversification reduces our exposure to tenant default risk and earnings volatility. As of December 31, 2020, we had 1,533 leases, with no single tenant accounting for more than 2.7% of our total annualized base rent. Our portfolio is also geographically diversified within the Southern California market across the following submarkets: Los Angeles (57.0%); San Bernardino (15.6%); Orange County (10.7%); San Diego (9.1%); and Ventura (7.6%). Superior Access to Investment Opportunities: We believe that we enjoy superior access to value-add, off-market, lightly marketed and marketed acquisition opportunities, many of which are difficult for competing investors to access. Off-market and lightly marketed transactions are characterized by a lack of a formal marketing process and a lack of widely disseminated marketing materials. Marketed transactions are often characterized by extensive buyer competition, making such transactions difficult to close on for less-focused investors. As we are principally focused on the Southern California market, our executive management and acquisition teams have developed and maintain a deep, broad network of relationships among key market participants, including property brokers, lenders, owners and tenants. We employ an extensive broker marketing, incentives and loyalty program. We also utilize data and event-driven analytics and primary research to identify and pursue events and circumstances, including below-market leased properties, properties with curable functional obsolescence, generational ownership changes, and financial stress related to properties, owners, lenders, and tenants, that tend to generate early access to emerging investment opportunities. Vertically Integrated Platform: We are a full-service real estate operating company, with substantial in-house capabilities in all aspects of our business. Our platform includes experienced in-house teams focused on acquisitions, analytics and underwriting, asset management, repositioning and redevelopment, property management, sales and leasing, design, construction management, as well as finance, accounting, legal and human relations departments. Value-Add Repositioning and Redevelopment Expertise: Our in-house redevelopment and construction management team employs an entrepreneurial approach to redevelopment and repositioning activities that are designed to increase the functionality, cash flow and value of our properties. These activities include converting large underutilized spaces into a series of smaller and more functional spaces, creating generic industrial space that appeals to a wide range of tenants, adding additional square footage and modernizing properties by, among other things, upgrading fire, life-safety and building operating systems, resolving functional obsolescence, adding or enhancing loading areas and truck access and making other accretive modernization improvements. Growth-Oriented, Flexible and Conservative Capital Structure: Our capital structure provides us with the resources, financial flexibility and the capacity to support the future growth of our business. Since our initial public offering, we have raised capital through five public offerings of our common stock (including two completed in 2020), three public offerings of preferred stock, through sales of common stock under our various at-the-market equity offering programs and through one public offering of senior notes (completed in 2020). We currently have an at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $750.0 million of our common stock through sales agents. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have sold $29.3 million of our common stock under this at-the-market equity offering program, leaving us with the capacity to issue up to $720.7 million of additional shares. We also have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not have any borrowings outstanding, leaving the entire $500 million available. The credit facility has an accordion feature that permits us to request additional lender commitments up to an additional $900 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments, term loan commitments or any combination thereof, subject to certain conditions. As of December 31, 2020, our ratio of net debt to total market capitalization was 12.9%. 5 Competition In acquiring our target properties, we compete with other public industrial property sector REITs, income oriented non-traded REITs, private real estate fund managers and local real estate investors and developers, some of which have greater financial resources or other competitive advantages than we do. Such competition may result in an increase in the amount we must pay to acquire a property or may require us to forgo an investment in properties which would otherwise meet our investment criteria. We also face significant competition in leasing available properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants. As a result, we may have to provide rent concessions, incur expenses for tenant improvements or offer other inducements to enable us to timely lease vacant space, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. Insurance We carry commercial property, liability, environmental, earthquake and terrorism coverage on all the properties in our portfolio under blanket insurance policies. In addition, we hold other environmental policies for certain properties with known environmental conditions that provide for additional coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. Generally, we do not carry insurance for certain types of extraordinary losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by floods (unless the property is located in a flood plain), riots, war and wildfires. Substantially all of our properties are located in areas that are subject to earthquakes, and while we maintain earthquake insurance coverage, the events are subject to material deductibles and exclusions. Additionally, seismic risks are evaluated for properties during acquisition by a qualified structural engineer and to the extent that the engineer identifies a property with weaknesses that contribute to a high statistical risk, the property will generally be structurally retrofitted to reduce the statistical risk to an acceptable level. Regulation General Our properties are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that we have the necessary permits and approvals to operate each of our properties. Americans with Disabilities Act Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”) to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined under the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although we believe that the properties in our portfolio in the aggregate substantially comply with present requirements of the ADA, and we have not received any notice for correction from any regulatory agency, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine whether we are in compliance, and therefore we may own properties that are not in compliance with current ADA standards. ADA compliance is dependent upon the tenant’s specific use of the property, and as the use of a property changes or improvements to existing spaces are made, we will take steps to ensure compliance. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in additional costs to attain compliance, imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages plus attorney’s fees to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and make alterations to achieve compliance as deemed commercially reasonable. Environmental Matters The properties that we acquire are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and government agencies have the authority to require us, to the extent we own a contaminated property, to clean up the property, even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the time it became contaminated and, therefore, it is possible we could incur these costs even after we sell some of the properties we acquire. In addition to the costs of cleanup, environmental contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to borrow using the property as collateral or to sell the property. From time to time we are required to export soils (which may or may not contain hazardous materials) from our sites, and under applicable environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for the clean-up of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human health or the environment. 6 Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third parties may recover damages for injury caused by property contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos at a property may seek to recover damages if he or she suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that require a business using chemicals to manage them carefully and to notify local officials that the chemicals are being used. We could be responsible for any of the costs discussed above, which have the potential to be very significant. The costs to clean up a contaminated property, to defend against a claim or to comply with environmental laws could be material and could adversely affect the funds available for distribution to our stockholders. To mitigate some of the environmental risk, our properties are covered by a blanket environmental insurance policy. In addition, we hold other environmental policies for certain properties with known environmental conditions that provide for additional coverage for potential environmental liabilities. These policies, however, are subject to certain limits, deductibles and exclusions, and insurance may not fully compensate us for any environmental liability. We obtain Phase I or similar environmental assessments by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition of a property. Phase I environmental investigations are a common form of real estate due diligence that are governed by nationally recognized American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and typically conducted by licensed environmental scientists. Phase I investigations commonly include a physical walk-through of the property in addition to a file review of the site. The file review includes creating a known operating history of the site. This includes, but is not limited to, inquiries with local governmental agencies as well as reviewing historical aerial reviews. If the consultant identifies any unexplained Recognized Environmental Concerns (“REC”) then the consultant typically recommends further investigation, usually through specific invasive property tests. This additional round of investigation is commonly referred to as a “Phase II”. Invasive testing may or may not include air, soil, soil vapor or ground water sampling. Additionally, it may or may not include an asbestos and/or lead-based paint survey. Depending on the results of the initial Phase II investigation, the consultant may recommend further Phase II investigations, or if satisfied with the results, the consultant may decide the initial REC identified is no longer a concern. Although we obtain a Phase I, a Phase II as recommended, or similar environmental site assessments by independent environmental consultants on each property prior to acquiring it, these environmental assessments may not reveal all environmental risks that might have a materially adverse economic effect on our business, assets and results of operations or liquidity, and may not identify all potential environmental liabilities, and our portfolio environmental and any site-specific insurance policies may be insufficient to cover any such environmental costs and liabilities. We can make no assurances that (1) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose material environmental liabilities on us, or (2) the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us. Human Capital As of December 31, 2020, we had 147 employees located in six regional offices within our Southern California market to service our business and tenants, optimize the welfare and productivity of our staff, and minimize commute times for our staff and to our properties. However, due to the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic, nearly all employees were working remotely to comply with state and local orders. We believe that we have good relations with our employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics, and Conduct, and Policies and Procedures for Complaints Regarding Accounting and Fraud, including a phone number and website for employees to voice anonymous concerns. All such concerns are then brought to the attention of our independent audit committee of the board of directors and our general counsel. These policies apply to all of our employees, and receipt and review by each employee is documented and verified annually. Employee Engagement and Support We believe employee engagement and recognition of strong performance are key components of a strong corporate culture. As part of our ongoing efforts to encourage employee engagement, we conducted five engagement surveys and held teambuilding events (which were conducted on a virtual basis in light of the COVID-19 pandemic) in 2020, and employees received formal recognition awards during our all-company quarterly meetings after being nominated by their peers. Each employee undergoes performance discussions at least once per year, with annual compensation adjustment consideration commensurate with the market and individual performance. Our voluntary turnover rate was 7% in 2020. Our referral rate for new hires is 20%, which we believe is indicative of employee engagement and commitment. We offer and encourage ongoing employee training and advancement opportunities, with a wide variety of thousands of courses and topics including management, leadership, personal development, diversity and inclusion, sexual harassment prevention, health and safety, and technical skills development. Many of our employees have contributed to the creation of learning content, leveraging our employee expertise and engagement and promoting a culture of learning. On average, each 7 employee completed over 17 hours of focused training in 2020. Nearly 12% of our employees at the director level and higher were developed and promoted from within the Company. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had a detailed business continuity plan in place. When statewide work-from home orders were implemented, the Company’s detailed business continuity plan was activated. Our employees were able to begin working remotely immediately, with home office equipment cost reimbursement, internet and online learning access for the entire workforce, and mental health assistance. Additionally, we made available to all employees with children a childcare stipend of $1,000 for each employee, as well as a tutoring stipend of $1,500, to assist employees balancing remote working and schooling needs. Workforce Diversity, Equity and Inclusion The Company values diversity, including diversity of experience, background, and ethnicity. Our employees are 55% female and 45% male, and 49% of our employees self-identify as members of a racial or ethnic minority. Employees at the director level and higher are 47% female and 53% male. Our 8-member board of directors was 25% female as of December 31, 2020. Additional Information Our principal executive offices are located at 11620 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1000, Los Angeles, California 90025 (telephone 310-966-1680).

Item 1A. Risk Factors Set forth below are some (but not all) of the factors that could adversely affect our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we predict the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We believe the following risks are material to our stockholders. You should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating our company, our properties and our business. The occurrence of any of the following risks could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and our ability to pay distributions on, and the per share trading price of, our common stock and might cause our stockholders to lose all or part of their investment. For purposes of this section, the term “stockholders” means the holders of shares of our common stock and preferred stock. Risks Related to Our Business and Operations Our portfolio of properties is concentrated in the industrial real estate sector, and our business would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector. Our properties are concentrated in the industrial real estate sector. This concentration exposes us to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities included a more significant portion of other sectors of the real estate industry. 8 Our portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions and is geographically concentrated in Southern California infill markets, which causes us to be especially susceptible to adverse developments in those markets. All of our properties are located in Southern California, which may expose us to greater or lesser economic risks than if we owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. We are particularly susceptible to adverse economic or other conditions in Southern California, as well as to natural disasters that occur in this market. Most of our properties are located in areas known to be seismically active. While we diversify the geographic concentrations of assets and carry insurance for losses resulting from earthquakes, the amount of our coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover losses from earthquakes and associated disasters, and the policies are subject to material deductibles and self-insured retention. The Southern California market has experienced downturns in past years, and the current COVID-19 pandemic, and restrictions intended to prevent its spread, have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the economy of the Southern California market. Any future downturns in the Southern California economy could impact our tenants’ ability to continue to meet their rental obligations or otherwise adversely affect the size of our tenant base, which could materially adversely affect our operations and our revenue and cash available for distribution, including cash available to pay distributions to our stockholders. We cannot assure you that the Southern California market will grow or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of industrial properties. Our operations may also be affected if competing properties are built in the Southern California market. In addition, the State of California is more highly regulated and taxed than many other states, all of which may reduce demand for industrial space in California and may make it costlier to operate our business. Additionally conditions in Southern California related to homelessness, crime, tax rates and heightened regulation could negatively impact economic conditions and make tenants less desirous to lease properties from us. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in the Southern California market, or any decrease in demand for industrial space resulting from the regulatory environment, business climate or energy or fiscal problems, could adversely impact us and our stockholders. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions intended to prevent its spread and local governments’ actions impacting our ability to collect rent could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread has already had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions around the world, including the United States and the infill Southern California markets in which we own properties and have development projects, and could further trigger a period of sustained global and U.S. economic downturn or recession. In particular, in Southern California, the state of California and certain municipalities, including where we own properties and/or have development projects, have instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that may continue, although, exceptions are available for essential retail, food processing and distribution, shipping businesses, essential building services, such as cleaning and maintenance, manufacturing that enables the continued operating of other essential businesses and certain essential construction projects. The industries in which our tenants are concentrated and other industries may not be covered by the exceptions listed above and have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by reductions in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and/or restrictions intended to prevent its spread. In addition, there can be no assurance that such exceptions will enable us to avoid adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations. These trends may also influence occupancy levels and the immediate ability or willingness of certain of our tenants to pay rent in full on a timely basis. Numerous state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts have also affected or may affect landlords and their ability to collect rent and or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. Most municipalities in Southern California, including many of the local municipalities in which we own properties and have development projects, have mandated a moratorium on all commercial evictions and have given tenants impacted by COVID-19 the unilateral right to defer rent while the emergency orders are in effect, with repayment generally within six to twelve months after the end of the local emergency. In many of the local municipalities in which we operate, the eviction restrictions are set to expire by March 31, 2021, and in other municipalities the restrictions expire when the local emergency is lifted, although we cannot currently predict whether or not this date may be extended or for how long. As of February 16, 2021, we have executed rent relief agreements (which comprise application of security deposits, acceleration of concessions and deferral of base rent) with 270 tenants, including 120 tenants receiving deferred base rent of $4.6 million or 1.5% of our ABR at December 31, 2020. Rent relief agreements executed through February 16, 2021 cover contractual base rent for April 2020 through January 2021, and some tenants may have more than one executed rent relief agreement with us. For the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, we have collected 88.0%, 97.3% and 97.8% of Contractual Billings (which includes contractual base rent and tenant reimbursements) charged to in-place tenants before the impact of consummated COVID-19 related rent relief agreements, respectively, and we have collected 99.1%, 98.6% and 98.0% of Contractual Billings after adjusting for rent relief provided by rent relief agreements, respectively. As of February 16, 2021, for the month of January 2021, we have collected 96.3% of Contractual Billings before the impact of rent relief agreements, and 96.5% of Contractual Billings after adjusting for rent relief provided by rent relief agreements. Additionally, as of February 16, 9 2021, we have collected 96.9% of COVID-19 related deferred rent that was charged to tenants during January 2021. There can be no assurance as to if or when tenants who request or receive rent relief and/or fail to timely make rent payments for any particular month will resume making payments at all or that such tenants will not default on their obligations under their respective leases or rent relief agreements. At this time, we cannot predict the number of tenants that will not pay rent for the month for January or February 2021, nor can we predict whether tenants who have paid or will pay rent for January or February 2021 will continue to do so in future months, including with respect to our largest tenants. We also cannot be certain of the number of tenants not paying or deferring rent out of need versus those merely taking advantage of their government-mandated ability to unilaterally defer rent. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, additional tenants may cease to pay their rent obligations to us in full or at all, and tenants may elect not to renew their leases, seek to terminate their leases, seek relief from their leases (including through negotiation, restructuring or bankruptcy), or decline to renew expiring leases or enter into new leases, all of which may adversely impact our rental revenue and occupancy rates, generate additional expenses, and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Likewise, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately lead to a decrease in occupancy levels and rental rates across our portfolio as tenants reduce or defer their spending, institute restructuring plans or file for bankruptcy. Some of our major tenants have announced temporary closures of some or all of their places of business or have substantially reduced their operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and additional tenants may do so in the future. In addition, the measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID- 19 (including quarantine, shelter-in-place or similar orders requiring that people remain in their homes) have lead and may lead to further closures, or other operational issues at, our properties. Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread could have significant adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations in a variety of ways that are difficult to predict. Such adverse impacts could depend on, among other factors: • • • • • • • • • our tenants’ ability or willingness to pay rent in full on a timely basis; state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts that may adversely affect landlords, including us, and their ability to collect rent and/or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent; our need to restructure leases with our tenants and our ability to do so on favorable terms or at all; our ability to renew leases or re-lease available space in our proprieties on favorable terms or at all; a severe and prolonged disruption and instability in the global financial markets, or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions that may affect our or our tenants’ ability to access capital necessary to fund our respective business operations or replace or renew maturing liabilities on a timely basis, on attractive terms or at all and may adversely affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, any of which could affect our and our tenants’ ability to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements; complete or partial shutdowns of one or more of our tenants’ manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, temporary or long-term disruptions in our tenants’ supply chains from local, national and international suppliers or delays in the delivery of products, services or other materials necessary for our tenants’ operations, which could force our tenants’ to reduce, delay or eliminate offerings of their products and services, reduce or eliminate their revenues and liquidity and/or result in their bankruptcy or insolvency; our ability to avoid delays or cost increases associated with building materials or construction services necessary for construction that could adversely impact our ability to continue or complete construction as planned, on budget or at all; our and our tenants’ ability to manage our respective businesses to the extent our and their management or personnel are impacted in significant numbers by the COVID-19 pandemic and are not willing, available or allowed to conduct work; and our and our tenants’ ability to ensure business continuity in the event our continuity of operations plan is not effective or improperly implemented or deployed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been a number of federal, state and local government initiatives implemented to manage the spread of COVID-19 and its impact on the economy, financial markets and continuity of businesses of all sizes and industries. We are encouraging our tenants to review these initiatives to determine whether any of the provisions may provide them with loans or additional liquidity to enable them to continue to meet their lease obligations to us; however, there can be no assurance that our tenants will do so or that such initiatives will provide them with any such assistance. In addition, we are analyzing different aspects of these initiatives to determine whether (in addition to any general support it may provide to the economy and our tenants) any specific provisions may more directly benefit us. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, COVID-19 and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present material risks and uncertainties with respect to our business, financial condition, 10 results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and could also have a material adverse effect on the value and trading price of our common stock. Moreover, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks set forth in this “Risk Factors” section. Our properties are concentrated in certain industries that make us susceptible to adverse events with respect to those industries. Our properties are concentrated in certain industries, which, as of December 31, 2020, included the following (and accounted for the percentage of our total annualized base rent indicated): Wholesale Trade (25.4%); Transportation and Warehousing (24.7%); and Light Manufacturing (18.9%). Any downturn in one or more of these industries, or in any other industry in which we may have a significant concentration now or in the future, could adversely affect our tenants who are involved in such industries. If any of these tenants is unable to withstand such downturn or is otherwise unable to compete effectively in its business, it may be forced to declare bankruptcy, fail to meet its rental obligations, seek rental concessions or be unable to enter into new leases, which could materially and adversely affect us. We may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of properties that meet our criteria, which may impede our growth. Our business strategy involves the acquisition of industrial properties meeting certain investment criteria in our target markets. These activities require us to identify suitable acquisition candidates or investment opportunities that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth strategies. In addition, the current market for acquisitions of industrial properties in Southern California continues to be extremely competitive. This competition may increase the demand for our target properties and, therefore, reduce the number of suitable acquisition opportunities available to us and increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties. We may be unable to acquire properties identified as potential acquisition opportunities on favorable terms, or at all, which could slow our growth. If we are unable to finance property acquisitions or acquire properties on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to pay distributions on, and the per share trading price of, our common stock could be adversely affected. Our acquisition activities may pose risks that could harm our business. As a result of our acquisitions, we may be required to incur debt and expenditures and issue additional common stock or common units to pay for the acquired properties. These acquisitions may dilute our stockholders’ ownership interest, delay or prevent our profitability and may also expose us to risks such as overpayment, reduction in value of acquired properties, and the possibility of pre-existing undisclosed liabilities, including environmental or asbestos liability, for which our insurance may be insufficient or for which we may be unable to secure insurance coverage. We cannot provide assurance that the price for any future acquisitions will be similar to prior acquisitions. If our revenue does not keep pace with these potential acquisition and expansion costs, we may incur net losses. There is no assurance that we will successfully overcome these risks or other problems encountered with acquisitions. We may be unable to source off-market or lightly marketed investment opportunities in the future. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 71% of the acquisitions by property count completed by us since our initial public offering (“IPO”) were acquired in off-market or lightly marketed transactions, which are transactions that are characterized by a lack of a formal marketing process and lack of widely disseminated marketing materials. Properties that are acquired by off-market or lightly marketed transactions are typically more attractive to us as a purchaser and are a core part of our strategic plan, because the absence of a formal or extended marketing/bidding period typically results in more favorable pricing, more favorable non-economic terms and often an ability to close transactions more rapidly. If we cannot obtain off-market or lightly marketed deal flow in the future, our ability to locate and acquire additional properties in the manner in which we have historically may be adversely affected and may cause us to revisit our core strategies. Our future acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect. Our future acquisitions and our ability to successfully operate the properties we acquire in such acquisitions may be exposed to the following significant risks: • even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantly increase the purchase price; 11 • • • we may acquire properties that are not accretive to our results upon acquisition, and we may not successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations; we may spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties; we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations; • market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and • we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown or greater than expected liabilities such as liabilities for clean-up of environmental contamination, claims by tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties, liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties. We may not be able to control our operating costs or our expenses may remain constant or increase, even if our revenues do not increase, causing our results of operations to be adversely affected. Factors that may adversely affect our ability to control operating costs include the need to pay for insurance and other operating costs (including real estate taxes, which could increase over time), the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space, the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning and tax laws, the potential for liability under applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. If our operating costs increase or our property income decreases as a result of any of the foregoing factors, our results of operations may be adversely affected. The potential impacts of future climate change and governmental initiatives remain uncertain at this time but could result in increased operating costs. Our assets and tenants may be exposed to potential risks from possible future climate change that could result in physical and regulatory impacts and catastrophic weather events and fires, increasing our operating costs and impairing our tenants’ ability to lease property and pay rent. Laws and regulations targeting climate change could result in stricter energy efficiency standards and increased operating costs that we may not be able to effectively pass on to our tenants. Any such regulation could impose substantial costs on our tenants, thereby impacting the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations and to lease or re-lease our properties. Adverse U.S. and global market, economic and political conditions and other events or circumstances beyond our control could have a material adverse effect on us. Another economic or financial crisis or rapid decline of the consumer economy, significant concerns over energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market, or a declining real estate market in the U.S. can contribute to increased volatility, diminished expectations for the economy and the markets, and high levels of structural unemployment by historical standards. Global market, political and economic challenges, including dislocations and volatility in the credit markets and general global economic uncertainty, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to pay distributions on, and the per share trading price of, our common stock. In addition, global market, political and economic conditions could adversely affect the businesses of many of our tenants. As a result, we may see increases in bankruptcies of our tenants and increased defaults by tenants, and we may experience higher vacancy rates and delays in re-leasing vacant space, which could negatively impact our business and results of operations. We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire, or renewing existing leases may require significant concession, inducements and/or capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2020, 4.4% of the rentable square footage of our portfolio was vacant and leases representing 0.9% of the rentable square footage of our portfolio expired on December 31, 2020. In addition, leases representing 15.3% and 14.5% of the rentable square footage of the properties in our portfolio will expire in 2021 and 2022, respectively. We cannot assure you that our leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates or that we will not offer substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. If the rental rates for our properties decrease, or if our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re- lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to pay distributions on, and the per share trading price of, our 12 common stock could be adversely affected. In order to attract and retain tenants, we may be required to make rent or other concessions to tenants, accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements or provide additional services to our tenants. Additionally, we may need to raise capital to make such expenditures. If we are unable to do so or if capital is otherwise unavailable, we may be unable to make the required expenditures. This could result in non-renewals by tenants upon expiration of their leases and/or an inability to attract new tenants. We face significant competition in the leasing market, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of real estate, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge or to offer more substantial tenant concessions or tenant rights (including rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options) in order to retain tenants or attract new tenants. Furthermore, as a result of various factors, including competitive pricing pressure in our submarkets, adverse conditions in the Southern California real estate market, a general economic downturn and a decline in the desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our submarkets, we may be unable to realize the budgeted rents for properties in our portfolio. If we are unable to obtain rental rates comparable to our asking rents for properties in our portfolio, our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted. Significant rent reductions could result in a write-down of one or more of our consolidated properties and/or adversely affect the market price of our common stock, our financial condition and our results of operations, including our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders. A substantial majority of the leases at our properties are with tenants who have non-investment grade credit ratings, which may result in our leasing to tenants that are more likely to default in their obligations to us than a tenant with an investment grade credit rating. A substantial majority of the leases at our properties are with tenants who have non-investment grade credit ratings. The ability of a non-investment grade tenant to meet its obligations to us cannot be considered as well assured as that of an investment grade tenant. All of our tenants may face exposure to adverse business or economic conditions which could lead to an inability to meet their obligations to us. However, non-investment grade tenants may not have the financial capacity or liquidity to adapt to these conditions or may have less diversified businesses, which may exacerbate the effects of adverse conditions on their businesses. Moreover, the fact that a substantial majority of our tenants are not investment grade may cause investors or lenders to view our cash flows as less stable, which may increase our cost of capital, limit our financing options or adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Historically, some of our tenants have filed for bankruptcy protection or become insolvent. This may occur with tenants in the future, and we are particularly at risk because of the credit rating of much of our tenant base. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant also may adversely affect the income produced by our properties. We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax-deferred contribution transactions, which could result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets. We may continue to acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax-deferred contribution transactions in exchange for partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, which may result in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we are able to deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired properties and/or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions limit our ability to sell an asset at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions. Our real estate development, redevelopment and repositioning activities are subject to risks. We may engage in development, redevelopment and repositioning activities with respect to certain of our properties. To the extent that we do so, we will be subject to the following risks associated with such development, redevelopment and repositioning activities: • construction, redevelopment and repositioning may be unsuccessful and/or costs of a project may exceed original estimates, possibly making the project less profitable than originally estimated, or unprofitable; 13 • • • • • • • time required to complete the construction, redevelopment or repositioning of a project or to lease up the completed project may be greater than originally anticipated, thereby adversely affecting our cash flow and liquidity; contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply disruptions, which may cause delays or increase costs; failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; delays with respect to obtaining, or the inability to obtain, necessary zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits, and changes in zoning and land use laws; occupancy rates and rents of a completed project may not be sufficient to make the project profitable; our ability to dispose of properties developed, redeveloped or repositioned with the intent to sell could be impacted by the ability of prospective buyers to obtain financing given the current state of the credit markets; and the availability and pricing of financing to fund our development activities on favorable terms or at all. Potential losses, including from adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as earthquakes, may not be covered by insurance, and we may be unable to rebuild our existing properties in the event of a substantial or comprehensive loss of such properties. We carry commercial property, liability, environmental, earthquake and terrorism coverage on all the properties in our consolidated portfolio under a blanket insurance policy, in addition to other coverages that we believe are appropriate for certain of our properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. Some of our policies are insured subject to limitations involving significant deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses. In particular, all of the properties in our portfolio are located in Southern California, an area that is particularly prone to seismic activity. A severe earthquake in the Southern California region could result in uninsured damage to a subset or even a substantial portion of our portfolio and could significantly impact our cash flow. While we carry insurance for losses resulting from earthquakes, such policies are subject to material deductibles and self- insured retention. Additionally, natural disasters, including earthquakes, may cause future earthquake insurance costs to increase significantly, which may impact the operating costs and net cash flow of our properties. In addition, we may discontinue terrorism or other insurance on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any such policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage discounted for the risk of loss. Currently, we do not carry insurance for certain types of extraordinary losses, such as loss from riots, war and wildfires, because we believe such coverage is only available at a disproportionately high cost. As a result, we may incur significant costs in the event of loss from wildfires, riots, war and other uninsured losses. If we do obtain insurance for any of those risks in the future, such insurance cost may impact the operating costs and net cash flow of our properties. If we or one or more of our tenants experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable costs in the future as the costs associated with property and casualty renewals may be higher than anticipated. In the event that we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to rebuild such property to its existing specifications. Further, reconstruction or improvement of such a property would likely require significant upgrades to meet zoning and building code requirements. Environmental, insurance and legal restrictions could also restrict the rebuilding of our properties. Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers. We have co-invested in the past, and may co-invest again in the future, with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a property, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In such event, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture or other entity, involving risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions, disputes and litigation. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives, and they may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflict of interest issues. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. In addition, prior consent of our joint venture partners may be required for a sale or transfer to a third party of our interests in the joint venture, which would restrict our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint 14 venture. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-venturers. Our joint ventures may be subject to debt and, in volatile credit markets, the refinancing of such debt may require equity capital calls. We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems. We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e‑mails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day‑to‑day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could: • • • • • • • • Disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems; Result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines; Result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT; Result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; Require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; Subject us to claims for breach of contract or failure to safeguard personal information, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; Damage our reputation among our tenants, prospective sellers, brokers and investors generally; and Subject us to legal liability, including liability under the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act of 2018. To help us better identify, manage, and mitigate these IT risks, we have adopted and implemented the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework. Additionally, our IT department requires each employee upon hire and at least annually thereafter to successfully complete an all-encompassing online security awareness training course. Further, all employees are required to complete bi-monthly micro training modules. Our IT department conducts periodic simulated social engineering exercises including, but not limited to, phishing (e-mail), vishing (voice), smishing (SMS), USB testing, and physical assessments. These tests are conducted at random throughout the year with no set schedule or frequency. Additionally, we may conduct targeted exercises against specific departments or individuals based on a risk determination. From time to time our employees may be required to complete remedial training courses or may be required to participate in remedial training exercises with our IT department as part of a risk-based assessment. To further address IT security, the current chairperson of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors, an independent director with information security experience, provides board level oversight of information security and receives quarterly information security reports, while the full board of directors typically receives information security updates annually from senior leadership. Over the prior three years the Company has not been subject to any information security breaches, has not incurred any financial harm from information security breaches, nor has the Company been subject to any material information security breaches or expenses to our knowledge since our initial formation. Lastly, on a quarterly basis we conduct third-party internal and external vulnerability assessments from our cybersecurity firm leveraging the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and on an ongoing basis we expect to implement annual penetration testing with our third-party information security company. We currently maintain insurance policies to insure against breaches of network security, privacy liability, media liability, data incident response expenses, cyber related business interruption, and cyber extortion. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, including the engagement of independent third party consultants to analyze any vulnerabilities, implementation of software and systems intended to reduce the risk of IT security breaches, and ongoing cyber security education and training for employees throughout the year, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases, are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to 15 anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk. Risks Related To Our Capital Structure Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In order to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required under the Code, among other things, to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction, including any net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we are highly dependent on third-party sources to fund capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all and any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage and likelihood of default. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on: • • • • • • general market conditions; the market’s perception of our growth potential; our current debt levels; our current and expected future earnings; our cash flow and cash distributions; and the trading price of our common stock. In prior years, the capital markets have been subject to periodic disruptions. Our inability to obtain capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our ability to expand our business, implement our growth plan and fund other cash requirements. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources on favorable terms or at all when desired, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, satisfy our debt service obligations or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT. To the extent that capital is not available to acquire properties, profits may not be realized or their realization may be delayed, which could result in an earnings stream that is less predictable than some of our competitors and result in us not meeting our projected earnings and distributable cash flow levels in a particular reporting period. Failure to meet our projected earnings and distributable cash flow levels in a particular reporting period could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and on the market price of our stock. Some of our financing arrangements involve balloon payment obligations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to make distributions. Some of our financing arrangements require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Our ability to satisfy a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the existing financing on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to satisfy the balloon payment. Such a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. Our debt level reduces cash available for distribution and may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties or to pay the dividends necessary to maintain our REIT qualification. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following: • • • • • our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments; we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms; we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness; we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties, possibly on unfavorable terms or in violation of certain covenants to which we may be subject; we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations and, in some cases commence foreclosure proceedings on one or more of our properties; and 16 • our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness. Any loan defaults or property foreclosures may impact our ability to access capital in the future on favorable terms or at all, as well as our relationships with and/or perception among lenders, investors, tenants, brokers, analysts, vendors, employees and other parties. Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations.” Mortgage and other secured debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt. Incurring mortgage and other secured debt obligations increases our risk of property losses because defaults on indebtedness secured by properties may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders, and ultimately our loss of the property securing any loans for which we are in default. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties could adversely affect the overall value of our portfolio of properties. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties that is subject to a nonrecourse mortgage loan would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect us. Subject to the rules related to maintaining our qualification as a REIT, we may enter into hedging transactions to protect us from the effects of interest rate fluctuations on floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2020, we have three interest rate swaps in place for the purpose of mitigating our exposure to fluctuations in short-term interest rates. For a summary of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report on Form 10-K. Our future hedging transactions may include entering into additional interest rate cap agreements or interest rate swap agreements. These agreements involve risks, such as the risk that such arrangements would not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes or that a court or regulatory agency could find that such an agreement is not legally enforceable or fails to satisfy other legal requirements. In addition, interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates. Hedging could reduce the overall returns on our investments. In addition, while such agreements would be intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they could also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements would not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements or that the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly effective cash flow hedges under Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Further, our derivatives counterparties may be subject to new capital, margin and business conduct requirements imposed as a result of the legislation, which may increase our transaction costs or make it more difficult for us to enter into additional hedging transactions on favorable terms. Our inability to enter into future hedging transactions on favorable terms, or at all, could increase our operating expenses and put us at increased exposure to interest rate risks. Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured notes and certain of our other secured loans contain, and any other future indebtedness we incur may contain, various covenants, including business activity restrictions, and the failure to comply with those covenants could materially adversely affect us. Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured notes and certain of our other secured loans contain, and any other future indebtedness we incur may contain, certain covenants, which, among other things, restrict our activities, including, as applicable, our ability to sell the underlying property without the consent of the holder of such indebtedness, to repay or defease such indebtedness, to incur additional indebtedness, to make certain investments or capital expenditures or to engage in mergers or consolidations that result in a change in control of our company. We are also subject to financial and operating covenants including, as applicable, requirements to maintain certain financial coverage ratios and restrictions on our ability to make distributions to stockholders. Failure to comply with any of these covenants would likely result in a default under the applicable indebtedness that would permit the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and under other indebtedness and foreclosure of properties, if any, serving as collateral therefor. The business activity limitations contained in the various covenants will restrict our ability to engage in some business activities that may otherwise be in our best interests. In addition, our unsecured credit facility, unsecured notes and secured term loan contain specific cross-default provisions with respect to specified other indebtedness, giving the lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under other loans in some circumstances. 17 Changes in the method of determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee ("ARRC"), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR (“USD LIBOR”) in derivatives and other financial contracts. Subsequently, in November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it would consult on its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form. We have contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and are monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified. Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate. The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR. Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry. Our ability to pay expected dividends to our stockholders depends on our ability to generate revenues in excess of expenses, scheduled principal payments on debt and capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include many of the risks set forth above under “—Risks Related to Our Business and Operations,” as well as the following: • • • • • • • • local oversupply in connection with increased vacancies or reduction in demand for industrial space; adverse changes in financial conditions of buyers, sellers and tenants of properties; vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms, including possible market pressures to offer tenants rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options, and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space; increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities, real estate taxes and state and local taxes; civil unrest, acts of war, terrorist attacks and natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods and wildfires, which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; decreases in the market value of our properties; changing submarket demographics; and changing traffic patterns. In addition, periods of economic downturn or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases. 18 Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to sell a property if and when we decide to do so or to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition. The real estate investments made, and to be made, by us are relatively difficult to sell quickly. As a result, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions which may affect the future disposition of our properties, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell any properties identified for sale at favorable pricing and may not receive net income from the transaction. Return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment generally will occur upon disposition or refinancing of the underlying property. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition or refinancing at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, our ability to dispose of one or more properties within a specific time period is subject to certain limitations imposed by our Tax Matters Agreements, as well as weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. In addition, the Code imposes restrictions on a REIT’s ability to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. In particular, the tax laws applicable to REITs effectively require that we hold our properties for investment, rather than primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forgo or defer sales of properties that otherwise would be in our best interest. Therefore, we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms. Declining real estate valuations and impairment charges could materially adversely affect us. We review the carrying value of our properties when circumstances, such as adverse market conditions, indicate a potential impairment may exist. We base our review on an estimate of the future cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition on an undiscounted basis. We consider factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If our evaluation indicates that we may be unable to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. Impairment losses have a direct impact on our operating results, because recording an impairment loss results in a negative adjustment to our publicly reported operating results. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. A worsening real estate market may cause us to reevaluate the assumptions used in our impairment analysis. Acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may face risks associated with investing in an unfamiliar market. We have acquired properties in markets that are new to us. For example, our predecessor business acquired properties in Arizona and Illinois as part of an acquisition of a portfolio of properties that included properties located in our target markets. When we acquire properties located in new markets, we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and permitting procedures. In the past when we have acquired properties outside of our focus market, we have subsequently divested those properties, and at this time we expect to continue this practice. We may choose not to distribute the proceeds of any sales of real estate to our stockholders, which may reduce the amount of our cash distributions to stockholders. We may choose not to distribute any proceeds from the sale of real estate investments to our stockholders. Instead, we may elect to use such proceeds to: • • • • make repairs, maintenance, tenant improvements or other capital improvements or expenditures on our other properties. acquire additional real estate investments; repay debt; create working capital reserves; or 19 Any decision to retain or invest the proceeds of any sales, rather than distribute such proceeds to our stockholders, may reduce the amount of cash distributions to equity holders. If any of our insurance carriers becomes insolvent, we could be adversely affected. We carry several different lines of insurance, placed with several large insurance carriers that we believe have good ratings at the time our policies are put into effect. If any one of these large insurance carriers were to become insolvent, we would be forced to replace the existing insurance coverage with another suitable carrier, and any outstanding claims would be at significant risk for collection. In such an event, we cannot be certain that we would be able to replace the coverage at similar or otherwise favorable terms. Replacing insurance coverage at unfavorable rates and the potential of uncollectible claims due to carrier insolvency would likely adversely affect us. Our property taxes could increase due to property tax rate changes or reassessment, which could adversely impact our cash flows. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will be required to pay some state and local taxes on our properties. The real property taxes on our properties may increase as property tax rates change or as our properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. All our properties located in California may be reassessed as a result of various factors including, without limitation, changes in California laws that contain certain limitations on annual increases of assessed value of real property. In recent years, there have been calls for a so called “split roll” under which commercial and industrial property owners would no longer receive the benefits of California Proposition 13 caps to property tax increases. During the November 2020 election, there was a California ballot initiative to create such as “split roll” and remove the property tax increase caps for commercial and industrial real estate. This ballot initiative failed by a margin of less than four percent. There is a risk future ballot initiatives will succeed. If the property taxes we pay increase, our cash flow would be adversely impacted to the extent that we are not reimbursed by tenants for those taxes. We face certain risks in connection with Section 1031 Exchanges. We often dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify for federal income tax deferral as a “like-kind exchange” under Section 1031 of the Code (a “1031 Exchange”). It is possible that a transaction intended to qualify as a 1031 Exchange could later be determined to have been taxable or that we may be unable to identify and complete the acquisition of a suitable replacement property to complete a 1031 Exchange. If this occurs, we could face adverse tax consequences. Additionally, it is possible that legislation could be enacted that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to 1031 Exchanges, which could impact our ability to dispose of properties on a tax deferred basis. We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and litigation over environmental matters. Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, in, under or migrating to or from such property, including costs to investigate, clean up such contamination and liability for harm to natural resources. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. These liabilities could be substantial and the cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or other costs could exceed the value of the property and in some cases our aggregate net asset value. In addition, the presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability for costs of remediation and/or personal, property, or natural resources damage or materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop our properties or to borrow using the properties as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. We obtain Phase I, or Phase II as recommended, or similar environmental site assessments conducted by independent environmental consultants on most of our properties at the time of their acquisition or in connection with subsequent financings, however, these assessments are limited in scope and are not updated in the ordinary course of business absent a specific need and therefore may not reveal all environmental conditions affecting a property. This may expose us to liability related to unknown or unanticipated environmental matters. Unless required by applicable laws or regulations, we may not further investigate, remedy or ameliorate the liabilities disclosed in the existing Phase Is or similar environmental site assessments, and this failure may expose us to liability in the future. While we maintain portfolio environmental and some site-specific insurance policies, they may be insufficient to cover any such environmental costs and liabilities. 20 Some of our properties have been or may be impacted by contamination arising from current or prior uses of the property, or adjacent properties, for commercial or industrial purposes. Such contamination may arise from spills of petroleum or hazardous substances or releases from tanks used to store such material known or suspected to exist at a number of our properties which may result in further investigation, remediation, or deed restrictions. Further, certain of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain petroleum or other hazardous substances, or at which others have engaged or may engage in activities that may release such hazardous substances. Adjacent property uses are identified in standard ASTM procedures in Phase I environmental studies, and if warranted based on adjacent property concerns a Phase II environmental study may be obtained. In addition to a blanket environmental insurance policy, as needed, we may obtain environmental insurance policies on commercially reasonable terms that provide coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. However, these policies are subject to certain limits, deductibles and exclusions, and insurance may not fully compensate us for any environmental liability. From time to time, we may acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. We usually perform a Phase I environmental site assessment at any property we are considering acquiring. Phase I environmental site assessments are limited in scope and do not involve sampling of soil, soil vapor, or groundwater, and these assessments may not include or identify all potential environmental liabilities or risks associated with the property. Even where subsurface investigation is performed, it can be very difficult to ascertain the full extent of environmental contamination or the costs that are likely to flow from such contamination. We cannot assure you that the Phase I environmental site assessment or other environmental studies identified all potential environmental liabilities, or that we will not face significant remediation costs or other environmental contamination that makes it difficult to sell any affected properties. Also, we have not always implemented actions recommended by these assessments, and recommended investigation and remediation of known or suspected contamination has not always been performed. Contamination may exist at many of our properties, and governmental regulators or third parties could seek to force us to contribute to investigation or remediation or known or suspected contamination. As a result, we could potentially incur material liability for these issues. Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM, and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements. Such laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing ACBM (and employers in such buildings) properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately notify or train those who may come into contact with asbestos, and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. In addition, the presence of ACBM in our properties may expose us to third-party liability (e.g., liability for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos). In addition, the properties in our portfolio also are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety requirements, such as state and local fire requirements. Moreover, some of our tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could subject us or our tenants to liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect our operations, or those of our tenants, which could in turn have an adverse effect on us. Further, these environmental, health and safety laws could become more stringent in the future, and this could subject us or our tenants to new or greater liability. We cannot assure you that remedial measures and other costs or liabilities incurred as a result of environmental issues will be immaterial to our overall financial position. If we do incur material environmental liabilities in the future, we may face significant remediation costs, and we may find it difficult to sell any affected properties. Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other air quality issues, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury is alleged to have occurred. 21 We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties. Our properties are subject to various covenants and federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances and zoning restrictions, may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations to any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. In addition, federal and state laws and regulations, including laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and parallel California Statutes, or ADA, and the Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988, or FHAA, impose further restrictions on our properties and operations. Under the ADA and the FHAA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Some of our properties may currently be in non-compliance with the ADA or the FHAA. If one or more of the properties in our portfolio is not in compliance with the ADA, the FHAA or any other regulatory requirements, we may be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance, including the removal of access barriers, and we might incur governmental fines or the award of damages to private litigants. In addition, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures. Furthermore, while leases with our tenants generally include provisions to obligate the tenants to comply with all laws and operate within a defined use, there is no guaranty that the tenants will comply with the terms of their leases. We may incur costs to bring a property into legal compliance even though the tenant may have been contractually required to comply and pay for the cost of compliance. Our tenants may disregard the use restrictions contained in the leases and conduct operations not contemplated by the lease, such as prohibited uses related to cannabis or highly hazardous uses, for example, despite our efforts to prohibit certain uses. Under California energy efficiency standards, enacted and periodically amended, including, without limitation, Title 24 or The Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings, building owners may incur increased costs to renovate properties in order to meet changing energy efficiency standards and make energy usage disclosures. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures or substantial modifications to our properties, our financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, the market price of our shares of common stock and preferred stock and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected. We may incur additional costs collecting and reporting energy usage data from our tenants and properties in order to comply with such energy efficiency standards. Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of common units, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders. Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our Operating Partnership or any partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to our company under Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, we, as the general partner of our Operating Partnership, have fiduciary duties and obligations to our Operating Partnership and its limited partners under Maryland law and the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership in connection with the management of our Operating Partnership. Our fiduciary duties and obligations as the general partner of our Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our company. Under Maryland law, a general partner of a Maryland limited partnership has fiduciary duties of loyalty and care to the partnership and its partners and must discharge its duties and exercise its rights as general partner under the partnership agreement or Maryland law consistent with the obligation of good faith and fair dealing. The partnership agreement provides that, in the event of a conflict between the interests of our Operating Partnership or any partner, on the one hand, and the separate interests of our company or our stockholders, on the other hand, we, in our capacity as the general partner of our Operating Partnership, may give priority to the separate interests of our company or our stockholders (including with respect to tax consequences to limited partners, assignees or our stockholders), and, in the event of such a conflict, any action or failure to act on our part or on the part of our directors that gives priority to the separate interests of our company or our stockholders that does not result in a violation of the contract rights of the limited partners of our Operating Partnership under its partnership agreement does not violate the duty of loyalty or any other duty that we, in our capacity as the general partner of our Operating Partnership, owe to our Operating Partnership and its partners or violate the obligation of good faith and fair dealing. 22 Additionally, the partnership agreement provides that we generally will not be liable to our Operating Partnership or any partner for any action or omission taken in our capacity as general partner, for the debts or liabilities of our Operating Partnership or for the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the partnership agreement, except for liability for our fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, pursuant to any express indemnity we may give to our Operating Partnership or in connection with a redemption. Our Operating Partnership must indemnify us, our directors and officers, officers of our Operating Partnership and our designees from and against any and all claims that relate to the operations of our Operating Partnership, unless (1) an act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (2) the person actually received an improper personal benefit in violation or breach of the partnership agreement or (3) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Our Operating Partnership must also pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses of any such person in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding upon its receipt of a written affirmation of the person’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification has been met and a written undertaking to repay any amounts paid or advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person did not meet the standard of conduct for indemnification. Our Operating Partnership is not required to indemnify or advance funds to any person with respect to any action initiated by the person seeking indemnification without our approval (except for any proceeding brought to enforce such person’s right to indemnification under the partnership agreement) or if the person is found to be liable to our Operating Partnership on any portion of any claim in the action. No reported decision of a Maryland appellate court has interpreted provisions similar to the provisions of the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership that modify and reduce our fiduciary duties or obligations as the general partner or reduce or eliminate our liability to our Operating Partnership and its partners, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel as to the enforceability of the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to modify or reduce the fiduciary duties and obligations that would be in effect were it not for the partnership agreement. Some of our directors and executive officers have outside business interests, including interests in real estate-related businesses, and, therefore, may have conflicts of interest with us. Certain of our executive officers and directors have outside business interests, including interests in real estate-related businesses, and may own equity securities of public and private real estate companies. Our executive officers’ and directors’ interests in these entities could create a conflict of interest, especially when making determinations regarding our renewal of leases with tenants subject to these leases. Our executive officers’ involvement in other businesses and real estate-related activities could divert their attention from our day-to-day operations, and state law may limit our ability to enforce any non-compete agreements. We could increase the number of authorized shares of stock, classify and reclassify unissued stock and issue stock without stockholder approval. Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the power under our charter to amend our charter to increase the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue, to authorize us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock and set the terms of such newly classified or reclassified shares. As a result, we may issue classes or series of common stock or preferred stock with preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, that are senior to, or otherwise conflict with, the rights of holders of our common stock. Although our board of directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a class or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest. Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control, which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that could involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest. Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including: • “Business combination” provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding voting stock at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question) or an affiliate thereof for five years after the most recent date on 23 • which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter impose fair price or supermajority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and “Control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our company (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise voting power in the election of directors within one of three increasing ranges) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of the voting power of issued and outstanding “control shares,” subject to certain exceptions) have no voting rights with respect to their control shares, except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. As permitted by the MGCL, our bylaws provide that we will not be subject to the control share provisions of the MGCL and our board of directors has, by resolution, exempted us from the business combination between us and any other person. However, we cannot assure you that our board of directors will not revise the bylaws or such resolution in order to be subject to such business combination and control share provisions in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an alteration or repeal of the board resolution exempting such business combinations will not have any effect on any business combinations that have been consummated or upon any agreements existing at the time of such modification or repeal. Certain provisions of the MGCL permit the board of directors of a Maryland corporation with at least three independent directors and a class of stock registered under the Exchange Act without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in its charter or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which (for example, a classified board) are not currently applicable to us. These provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from making an unsolicited acquisition proposal for our company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of shares of our stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price. Our charter contains a provision whereby it elects to be subject to the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL relating to the filling of vacancies on the board of directors. Certain provisions in the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay or prevent unsolicited acquisition of us. Provisions of the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership may delay or make more difficult unsolicited acquisitions of us or changes of our control. These provisions could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition of us or change of our control, although some stockholders or limited partners might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others: • • • • • redemption rights of qualifying parties; a requirement that we may not be removed as the general partner of our Operating Partnership without our consent; transfer restrictions on common units; our ability, as general partner, in some cases, to amend the partnership agreement and to cause our Operating Partnership to issue additional partnership interests with terms that could delay, defer or prevent a merger or other change of control of us or our Operating Partnership without the consent of our stockholders or the limited partners; and the right of the limited partners to consent to certain transfers of our general partnership interest (whether by sale, disposition, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise). Our charter and bylaws, the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership and Maryland law also contain other provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest. Tax Matters Agreements limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties, even though a sale or disposition may otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interest. In connection with certain tax-deferred property contribution transactions in exchange for partnership interests in our Operating Partnership and also in connection with our formation transactions, we entered into Tax Matters Agreements with certain limited partners of our Operating Partnership, including Messrs. Ziman, Schwimmer and Frankel in connection with the IPO, that provide that if we dispose of any interest with respect to certain properties in our portfolio in a taxable transaction during a certain period after the applicable transaction, our Operating Partnership will indemnify such limited partners for their tax liabilities attributable to their share of the built-in gain that exists with respect to such property interest as of the time of the applicable transaction and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the indemnification payment; provided that, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, such indemnification rights will terminate for any such protected partner that sells, exchanges or 24 otherwise disposes of more than 50% of his or her common units or other applicable units. We have no present intention to sell or otherwise dispose of these properties or interest therein in taxable transactions during the restriction period. If we were to trigger the tax protection provisions under any such agreement, our Operating Partnership would be required to pay damages in the amount of the taxes owed by these limited partners (plus additional damages in the amount of the taxes incurred as a result of such payment). As a result, although it may otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interest that we sell one of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so because of these obligations. Tax Matters Agreements may require our Operating Partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate our business. Certain Tax Matters Agreements provides that, during a certain period after the applicable transaction (in the case of the IPO, the period beginning from the date of the completion of our IPO (July 24, 2013) through the period ending on the twelfth anniversary of our IPO (July 24, 2025)), our Operating Partnership will offer certain limited partners the opportunity to guarantee its debt, and following such period, our Operating Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such limited partners who continue to own at least 50% of the common units or other applicable units they originally received in the applicable transactions with debt guarantee opportunities. Our Operating Partnership will be required to indemnify such limited partners for their tax liabilities resulting from our failure to make such opportunities available to them (plus an additional amount equal to the taxes incurred as a result of such indemnity payment). Among other things, this opportunity to guarantee debt is intended to allow the participating limited partners to defer the recognition of gain in connection with the applicable transactions. These obligations may require us to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business. Our board of directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval and we may become more highly leveraged, which may increase our risk of default under our debt obligations. Our investment and financing policies are exclusively determined by our board of directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not control these policies. Further, our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Our board of directors may alter or eliminate our current policy on borrowing at any time without stockholder approval. If this policy changed, we could become more highly leveraged which could result in an increase in our debt service. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, real estate market fluctuations and liquidity risk. Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited. As permitted by Maryland law, our charter eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from: • • actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was established by a final judgment and was material to the cause of action adjudicated. In addition, our charter authorizes us to obligate our company, and our bylaws require us, to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those and certain other capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time. Generally, Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers except in instances where the person seeking indemnification acted in bad faith or with active and deliberate dishonesty, actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her actions were unlawful. Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation also may not indemnify a director or officer in a suit by or on behalf of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct; however, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or on our behalf, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken in good faith by any of our directors or officers impede the performance of our company, our stockholders’ ability to recover damages from such director or officer will be limited. 25 We are a holding company with no direct operations and, as such, we will rely on funds received from our Operating Partnership to pay liabilities, and the interests of our stockholders will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities and obligations of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership. We do not have, apart from an interest in our Operating Partnership, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to continue to pay any dividends we might declare on shares of our common stock. We also rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to meet any of our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from our Operating Partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, stockholder claims will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and our Operating Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full. Our Operating Partnership may issue additional common units to third parties without the consent of our stockholders, which would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and would have a dilutive effect on the amount of distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our stockholders. As of December 31, 2020, we own 95.2% of the outstanding common units in our Operating Partnership and we may, in connection with future acquisitions of properties or otherwise, cause our Operating Partnership to issue additional common units to third parties. In addition, in connection with our issuances of preferred stock, our Operating Partnership has issued to us preferred units and may issue additional preferred units to us in the future. In addition, the Operating Partnership has issued and in the future may issue additional common units and/or preferred units to third parties in connection with acquisitions or otherwise. Existing preferred units have and any future preferred units may have preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, that are senior to, or otherwise conflict with the common units and are structurally senior to our common stock. Such issuances would reduce our ownership percentage in our Operating Partnership and affect the amount of distributions made to us by our Operating Partnership and, therefore, the amount of distributions we can make to our stockholders. Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT Failure to maintain our qualification as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us and the per share trading price of our common stock. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We intend to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Form 10-K are not binding on the IRS or any court. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will qualify as a REIT, or that we will remain qualified as such in the future. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce the funds available for distribution to you for each of the years involved because: • • • we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to regular federal corporate income tax; we also could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for tax years prior to 2018 and possibly increased state and local taxes; and unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified. Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce our cash available for, among other things, our operations and distributions to stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be required to make distributions to our stockholders. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT also could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital and could materially and adversely affect the value of our common stock. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable Treasury regulations that have been promulgated under the Code, or the Treasury Regulations, is greater in the case of a REIT that, like us, holds its assets through a partnership. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of our stock, requirements regarding the composition of our assets and requirements regarding the sources of our gross income. Also, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at 26 least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may materially adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local income, property and excise taxes on our income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax, in the event we sell property as a dealer. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to tax as a regular corporation in the jurisdictions it operates. If our Operating Partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences. We believe that our Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our Operating Partnership will not be subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our Operating Partnership’s income. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of our Operating Partnership or any other subsidiary partnership in which we own an interest as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our Operating Partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership as an entity taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our Operating Partnership or any subsidiary partnerships to qualify as a partnership could cause it to become subject to federal and state corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to federal income tax, and we will be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if our transactions with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not conducted on arm’s length terms. We own an interest in one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries, and may acquire securities in additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. If a taxable REIT subsidiary owns more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. In addition, a 100% excise tax will be imposed on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s length basis. Not more than 20% of the value of our total assets may be represented by securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries. We anticipate that the aggregate value of the stock and other securities of any taxable REIT subsidiaries that we own will be less than 20% of the value of our total assets, and we will monitor the value of these investments to ensure compliance with applicable asset test limitations. To maintain our REIT qualification, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions. To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, and we will be subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) each year. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Accordingly, we may not be able to retain sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our debt service requirements and repay our debt. Therefore, we may need to raise additional capital for these purposes, and we cannot assure you that a sufficient amount of capital will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, when needed. Further, in order to maintain our REIT qualification and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds to meet the REIT distribution requirements even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These borrowing needs could result from, among other things, differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. These sources, however, may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels, the per share trading price of our common stock, and our 27 current and potential future earnings. We cannot assure you that we will have access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times. Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends. The maximum tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for these reduced rates. Under current law, however, U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (e.g., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to certain dividends paid by REITs (generally to 29.6% assuming the shareholder is subject to the 37% maximum rate), such tax rate is still higher than the tax rate applicable to corporate dividends that constitute qualified dividend income. Accordingly, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs. The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions which would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes. A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, unless a sale or disposition qualifies under certain statutory safe harbors, such characterization is a factual determination and no guarantee can be given that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors. Complying with REIT requirements may affect our profitability and may force us to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments. To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments in order to satisfy the asset and income tests or to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. We also may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. As a result, having to comply with the distribution requirement could cause us to: (1) sell assets in adverse market conditions; (2) borrow on unfavorable terms; or (3) distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt. Accordingly, satisfying the REIT requirements could have an adverse effect on our business results, profitability and ability to execute our business plan. Moreover, if we are compelled to liquidate our investments to meet any of these asset, income or distribution tests, or to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with one or more of the requirements applicable to REITs or may be subject to a 100% tax on any resulting gain if such sales constitute prohibited transactions. Legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us. The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Changes to the tax laws, with or without retroactive application, could adversely affect our investors or us. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect our investors or us. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect our ability to qualify as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the federal income tax consequences of an investment in us. Also, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT.

Tenants Our portfolio of properties has a stable and diversified tenant base. As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated properties were 96.2% leased to tenants in a variety of industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than 2.7% of our total annualized in-place base rent. Our average lease size is approximately 20,000 square feet, and approximately 43% of our total leased square feet consists of leases that are less than 50,000 square feet each. Our 10 largest tenants combined accounted for 11.4% of our annualized base rent as of December 31, 2020. We intend to continue to maintain a diversified mix of tenants in order to limit our exposure to any single tenant or industry. 41 The following table sets forth information about the 10 largest tenants in our portfolio based on total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2020.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Business” and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Company Overview Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its 49 subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate primarily located in Southern California infill markets, and from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under the Code, and generally are not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 248 properties with approximately 31.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage an additional 20 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments and mortgage debt secured by industrial property in high barrier Southern California infill markets. Our target markets provide us with opportunities to acquire both stabilized properties generating favorable cash flow, as well as properties or land parcels where we can enhance returns through value-add renovations and redevelopment of new industrial buildings. Scarcity of available space and high barriers limiting new construction of for-lease product all contribute to create superior long-term supply/demand fundamentals within our target infill Southern California industrial property markets. With our vertically integrated operating platform and extensive value-add investment and management capabilities, we believe we are positioned to capitalize upon the opportunities in our markets to achieve our objectives. Highlights Acquisitions • During 2020, we acquired 38 properties, with a combined 5.0 million rentable square feet, for an aggregate cost of $1.2 billion. Repositioning & Redevelopment • • During 2020, we completed repositioning and lease-up of eight of our repositioning properties located at 2455 Conejo Spectrum Street, 635 8th Street, 16121 Carmenita Road, 10015 Waples Court, 1210 North Red Gum Street, 7110 Rosecrans Avenue, 29003 Avenue Sherman and 727 Kingshill Place with a combined 0.6 million rentable square feet. In October 2020, we completed the construction of the redevelopment project branded as “The Merge,” which contains six industrial buildings with a total of 333,544 rentable square feet. As of December 31, 2020, the project was 18% leased. Dispositions • During 2020, we sold four properties with a combined 0.3 million rentable square feet, for a total gross sales price of $45.5 million and total net cash proceeds of $43.6 million. Equity • During 2020, we issued 17,253,161 shares of common stock as follows: ◦ We sold 3,165,661 shares of common stock under our various at-the-market equity offering programs, for gross proceeds of $126.5 million, or approximately $39.96 per share, and net proceeds of $124.7 million after deducting the sales agents’ fee. ◦ ◦ During the second quarter we completed an underwritten public offering of 7,187,500 shares of our common stock at a price to the underwriters of $39.67 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $285.0 million after deducting offering costs. During the fourth quarter we completed an underwritten public offering of 6,900,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the underwriters of $47.15 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $325.0 million after deducting offering costs. • During 2020, our acquisition activity included three UPREIT transactions, whereby we issued a combined 3,798,356 common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership representing $179.3 million of purchase price value and 906,374 newly issued 4.00% cumulative redeemable convertible preferred units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Series 2 CPOP Units”) valued at $40.8 million. 50 Financing • • • • In February 2020, we amended our senior unsecured credit facility to, among other changes, increase the aggregate commitment for our unsecured revolving credit facility to $500 million from $350 million and extend the maturity date of the unsecured revolving credit facility to February 2024 from February 2021. In November 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million of 2.125% senior notes due 2030. The notes were issued to the public at 99.211% of the principal amount. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, were approximately $394.2 million and were partially used to repay our $100.0 million term loan due February 14, 2022. During 2020, we assumed total debt of $63.2 million as part of the consideration for the acquisition of 11 properties during 2020. The $63.2 million is comprised of 11 secured fixed-rate mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 3.70% to 5.24% and with maturities ranging from 3.0 years to 8.3 years from the date assumed. In October 2020, we received investment grade ratings of Baa3 from Moody’s Investors Services (“Moody’s) and BBB from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), complementing our current BBB rating received from Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). As a result of obtaining these ratings, we elected to convert the pricing structure under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loan facilities to be based on such ratings, resulting in an overall reduction in our interest rate spreads. Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations COVID-19 Update The outbreak of COVID-19and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain its outbreak and spread has significantly impacted the global and national economies, our industry and the industries in which our tenants operate. In Southern California, where all of our industrial properties are located, local government authorities reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic early on by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. Since the onset of the pandemic, state and local government restrictions have gone through a cycle of easing and tightening in response to resurgences in COVID-19 cases, causing some businesses to close and resume operations in tandem with changes in restrictions. The State of California is currently under a risk-based four-tier system which is used to determine on a county-by-county basis which types of businesses are allowed to reopen or required to restrict activities. We cannot predict when restrictions currently in place will expire or if additional restrictions will be added. Most municipalities in Southern California, including many municipalities in which we own properties, have mandated a moratorium on all commercial evictions and have given tenants impacted by COVID-19 the unilateral right to defer rent while the emergency orders are in effect, with repayment generally within six to twelve months after the end of the local emergency. Only a small number of municipalities have allowed their local orders to expire or modified the orders to exclude some tenants (based on the tenant’s number of employees, being a publicly traded company or multinational company, or other characteristics), and in many of the local municipalities in which we operate, the eviction restrictions and rent deferment rights are set to expire by March 31, 2021, while in other municipalities the restrictions expire when the local emergency is lifted. We cannot currently predict whether or not these restrictions may be extended or for how long. Some of the orders have been extended multiple times. A number of our tenants have taken advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing deferral of rent, irrespective of such tenants’ actual ability to pay such rent, and we are currently unable to predict the ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our tenants or the number of tenants that will take advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing the deferral of rent. While we are currently unable to completely estimate the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain its spread, as well as the California emergency orders authorizing tenant deferral of rent, will have on our business and our tenants during 2021, as of February 16, 2021 we have taken the following steps and seen the following impact on our portfolio (using tenant counts and in-place annualized base rent (defined below) as of December 31, 2020): • We had 1,533 leases representing in-place annualized base rent (“ABR”) of $310.4 million. ABR is defined/calculated as the monthly contractual base • rent per the leases, excluding any rent abatements, as of December 31, 2020, multiplied by 12. During 2020, we executed rent relief agreements (which comprise application of security deposits, acceleration of concessions and deferral of base rent) with 270 tenants, including 120 tenants that received deferred base rent of $4.6 million or 1.5% of ABR. See the table below for a summary of rent relief provided to tenants applicable to the second, 51 third and fourth quarters of 2020 and January 2021. • We have executed rent relief agreements with two of our top ten tenants as of December 31, 2020, including one that received a deferral of contractual base rent for approximately three months. As of December 31, 2020, all of our top ten tenants were current on their rent payments. • We cannot be certain of the number of tenants not paying or deferring rent out of need versus those merely taking advantage of their local California government-mandated right to unilaterally defer rent without an agreement. • We may in the future amend or enter into additional rent relief agreements. The following table sets forth the following information regarding contractual rent for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020 and January 2021 (dollars in thousands): (i) amount billed, (ii) percentage collected (as of February 16, 2021) prior to the impact of consummated rent relief agreements, (iii) the amount of rent relief provided to tenants by the (a) application of security deposits to contractual base rent, (b) acceleration of future existing contractual rent concessions to cover contractual base rent and (c) deferral of contractual base rent and (iv) percentage collected (as of February 16, 2021) after adjusting for rent relief provided by rent relief agreements.

(5) Represents the cash collection percentage of Contractual Billings after adjusting for Rent Relief provided by rent relief agreements. (6) During the second quarter of 2020, $96,000 of rent relief was provided to a tenant in the form of a base rent deferral with repayment scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, this base rent deferral was waived in connection with the execution of an early renewal lease. (7) The following table provides a breakdown of third and fourth quarter 2020 and January 2021 Contractual Billings between regular billings and COVID-19 deferral billings and percentage collected through February 16, 2021 (dollars in thousands): 52 Q3-2020 Q4-2020 January 2021 Contractual Billings % of Contractual Billings Collected Contractual Billings % of Contractual Billings Collected Contractual Billings % of Contractual Billings Collected Regular Billings Covid-19 Deferral Billings Total $ $ 78,185 160 78,345 97.3 % $ 100.0 % $ 83,272 3,352 86,624 97.8 % $ 96.2 % $ 31,736 100 31,836 96.3 % 96.9 % While the volume of rent relief requests and rent relief agreements executed has significantly decreased and tapered off from its peak in April 2020, for any rent relief requests we might receive in the future, we will continue to perform an evaluation of each tenant’s individual circumstances prior to executing such rent relief agreements. Not all tenant rent relief requests will ultimately result in rent relief agreements, nor are we forgoing our contractual rights under any of our lease agreements. Rent collections and rent relief requests received to-date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period. The long-term impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain its spread, as well as the actions of many California municipalities enabling tenants impacted by COVID-19 to unilaterally defer their rent, on our operations is uncertain. A continuing outbreak could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and business operations, including our timing and ability to collect rents, including rents that have been deferred pursuant to consummated rent relief agreements. Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, consumer spending as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we are actively managing our ongoing response in collaboration with tenants and government officials and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part II, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.” Market and Portfolio Fundamentals Our operating results depend upon the infill Southern California industrial real estate market. The infill Southern California industrial real estate sector has continued to exhibit strong fundamentals, even amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These high-barrier infill markets are characterized by a relative scarcity of available product, generally operating at approximately 98% occupancy, coupled with the limited ability to introduce new supply due to high land and development costs and a dearth of developable land in markets experiencing a net reduction in supply as over time more industrial property is converted to non-industrial uses than can be delivered. Consequently, available industrial supply has continued to decrease in many of our target infill submarkets and construction deliveries have fallen short of demand. Meanwhile, underlying tenant demand within our infill target markets continues to demonstrate growth, illustrated or driven by strong re-leasing spreads and renewal activity over the last several years, inclusive of 2020, an expanding regional economy, substantial growth in ecommerce transaction and delivery volumes, as well as further compression of delivery time-frames to consumers and to businesses, increasing the significance of last-mile facilities for timely fulfillment. Although we continue to observe a number of positive trends within our target infill markets, the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing government-led cycle of easing and tightening business restrictions and the actions taken by many California municipalities enabling some tenants impacted by COVID-19 to unilaterally defer their rent are unprecedented events and the long-term impact on the global economy and our infill Southern California markets cannot be determined at present. Despite the above-mentioned challenges, tenant demand remains strong within our portfolio, which is strategically located within prime infill Southern California industrial markets. The quality and intensity of tenant demand through 2020 is demonstrated through the Company’s favorable leasing spreads and leasing volume, which continue at pre-COVID-19 levels, as well as achieving rental rates and related terms from new and renewing tenants that continue to generally meet and exceed budgeted targets set during pre-COVID-19 periods (see “—Leasing Activity and Rental Rates” below). This tenant demand has been driven by a wide range of sectors, from consumer products, healthcare and medical products to aerospace, food and logistics, among other sectors. We have also observed a notable increase in ecommerce-oriented tenants securing space within our portfolio, in part driven by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the growth in the range and volume of goods and customers transacting through ecommerce. Our portfolio, positioned within the largest last-mile logistics distribution market in the nation, is well-positioned to attract incremental ecommerce-oriented demand. We believe our portfolio’s leasing performance throughout 2020 has generally outpaced that of the infill markets within which we operate, although, as discussed in more details below, our target infill markets continue to operate at or near historically high levels of occupancy. We believe this performance has been driven by our highly entrepreneurial business model focused on acquiring and improving industrial property in superior locations so that our portfolio reflects a higher level of quality and functionality, on average, as compared to 53 typical available product within the markets within which we operate. We also believe the quality and entrepreneurial approach demonstrated by our team of real estate professionals actively managing our properties and our tenants enables the potential to outcompete within our markets that we believe are generally otherwise owned by more passive, less-focused real estate owners. However, there can be no assurance that tenant demand may continue at strong levels to the extent impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic referenced above persist into future periods. General Market Conditions The following are general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the results of our portfolio. For our portfolio specific results see “—Rental Revenues” and “—Results of Operations” below. In Los Angeles County, vacancy increased year-over-year, while still remaining at low levels, and average asking lease rates decreased slightly year-over- year. Current market conditions indicate rents are likely to increase in 2021, as demand has been consistently strong, occupancy still remains at near capacity levels and new redevelopment is limited by a lack of land availability and an increase in land and development costs. In Orange County, vacancy increased year-over-year, while still remaining at low levels, and average asking lease rates increased year-over-year as a result of increased demand related to the accelerated adoption of ecommerce. Current market conditions indicate rents are likely to continue to increase in 2021, as demand has been steady and there remains a continued low availability of industrial product in this region. In San Diego, vacancy decreased slightly year-over-year and average asking lease rates decreased year-over-year. In Ventura County, vacancy decreased year-over-year and average asking lease rates increased year-over year. Lastly, in the Inland Empire, new industrial product continues to be absorbed well in the market. In the Inland Empire West, which contains infill markets in which we operate, vacancy decreased year-over-year and remained at historically low levels, and asking lease rates increased year-over-year. We generally do not focus on properties located within the non-infill Inland Empire East sub-market where available land and the development and construction pipeline for new supply is substantial. Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Redevelopment of Properties The Company’s growth strategy comprises acquiring leased, stabilized properties as well as properties with value-add opportunities to improve functionality and to deploy our value-driven asset management programs in order to increase cash flow and value. Acquisitions may comprise single property investments as well as the purchase of portfolios of properties, with transaction values ranging from approximately $10 million single property investments to portfolios potentially valued in the billions of dollars. The Company’s geographic focus remains infill Southern California. However, from time-to-time, portfolios could be acquired comprising a critical mass of infill Southern California industrial property that could include some assets located in markets outside of infill Southern California. In general, to the extent non-infill-Southern California assets were to be acquired as part of a larger portfolio, the Company may underwrite such investments with the potential to dispose such assets over a certain period of time in order to maximize its core focus on infill Southern California, while endeavoring to take appropriate steps to satisfy REIT safe harbor requirements to avoid prohibited transactions under REIT tax laws. A key component of our growth strategy is to acquire properties through off-market and lightly marketed transactions that are often operating at below- market occupancy or below-market rent at the time of acquisition or that have near-term lease roll-over or that provide opportunities to add value through functional or physical repositioning and improvements. Through various repositioning, redevelopment, and professional leasing and marketing strategies, we seek to increase the properties’ functionality and attractiveness to prospective tenants and, over time, to stabilize the properties at occupancy rates that meet or exceed market rates. A repositioning can consist of a range of improvements to a property. This may include a complete structural renovation of a property whereby we convert large underutilized spaces into a series of smaller and more functional spaces, or it may include the creation of additional square footage, the modernization of the property site, the elimination of functional obsolescence, the addition or enhancement of loading areas and truck access, the enhancement of fire-life-safety systems or other accretive improvements, in each case designed to improve the cash flow and value of the property. We have a number of significant repositioning properties, which are presented in the tables below, as well as range of smaller spaces in repositioning that due to their smaller size, relative scope, projected repositioning costs or relatively nominal amount of down-time, are not presented below, however, in the aggregate, may be substantial. A repositioning property that is considered significant, is typically defined as a property where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements, the cost to complete repositioning work and lease-up is estimated to be greater than $1 million and the repositioning and lease-up time frame is estimated to be greater than six months. A repositioning is considered complete once the investment is fully or nearly fully deployed and the property is marketable for leasing. Because each repositioning effort is unique and determined based on the property, targeted tenants and overall trends in 54 the general market and specific submarket, the timing and effect of the repositioning on our rental revenue and occupancy levels will vary, and, as a result, will affect the comparison of our results of operations from period to period with limited predictability. A redevelopment property is defined as a property where we plan to fully or partially demolish an existing building(s) due to building obsolescence and/or a property with excess land where we plan to construct a ground-up building. As of December 31, 2020, three of our properties were under current repositioning or redevelopment and one of our properties was in the lease-up stage. In addition, we anticipate beginning repositioning/redevelopment construction work on 14 additional properties during 2021. A summary of these repositioning/redevelopment properties are set forth in the tables below, as well the properties that were stabilized during 2020 and 2019, as the timing of these stabilizations have a direct impact on our current and comparative results of operations. We consider a repositioning/redevelopment property to be stabilized upon the earlier of (i) reaching 90% occupancy or (ii) one year from the date construction work is completed. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread, including impacts to our employees, may cause delays or increase costs associated with building materials or construction services necessary for construction, which could adversely impact our ability to continue or complete construction as planned, on budget or at all for our repositioning and development projects. Additionally, most municipalities are taking longer to issue construction permits and complete inspections as their employees are permitting remotely and inspections occasionally experience delays, which has had and may continue to have an impact on project completion timing.

Prior to physical construction, we engage in pre- construction activities, which include design work, securing permits or entitlements, site work, and other necessary activities preceding construction. In prior filings, the estimated start period included pre-construction activities. The estimated completion period is our current estimate of the period in which we will have substantially completed a project and the project is made available for occupancy. We expect to update our timing estimates on a quarterly basis. The estimated construction period is subject to change as a result of a number of factors including but not limited to permit requirements, delays in construction (including delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic), changes in scope, and other unforeseen circumstances. “Total Property Rentable Square Feet” is the total rentable square footage of the entire property or particular building(s) (footnoted if applicable) under repositioning/lease-up. “Repositioning/Lease-up Rentable Square Feet ” is the actual (2) 56 rentable square footage that is subject to repositioning at the property/building, and may be less than Total Property Rentable Square Feet. (3) At 12821 Knott Street, we are repositioning the existing 120,800 rentable square foot building and are constructing approximately 45,000 rentable square (4) feet of new warehouse space. 12133 Greenstone Avenue is a single tenant container storage facility with a 12,586 rentable square foot truck terminal building on 4.8 acres with excess land. (5) Rancho Pacifica Buildings 1 & 6 are located at 2301-2329 Pacifica Place and 2332-2366 Pacifica Place, and represent two buildings totaling 488,114 rentable square feet, out of six buildings at our Rancho Pacifica Park property, which have a total 1,152,883 rentable square feet. (6) As of December 31, 2020, 15650-15700 Avalon Boulevard contains two buildings totaling 166,088 rentable square feet. In December 2020, the tenant extended their lease on a short-term basis through April 30, 2021. Upon termination of the lease, we plan to demolish one of the existing buildings and reposition the property into a single-tenant low coverage facility which will have one 98,259 rentable square foot building at completion. (7) Represents the estimated rentable square footage of the project upon completion of redevelopment. (8) At 4416 Azusa Canyon Road, we will demolish the existing building (70,510 rentable square feet) and construct a new 128,350 rentable square foot building (9) upon termination of the in-place lease. 9615 Norwalk Boulevard is a 10.26 acre storage-yard with buildings totaling 26,362 rentable square feet. In January 2019, we converted the tenant’s month to month land lease to a term lease with an expiration date of March 31, 2021. We will demolish the existing buildings and construct a new 201,808 rentable square foot building upon termination of this land lease. (10) In February 2021, we leased 15601 Avalon Boulevard to a tenant under a short-term lease. Upon termination of the lease, we will demolish the existing building (63,690 rentable square feet) and construct a new 84,727 rentable square foot building. (11) As of December 31, 2020, 12752-12822 Monarch Street contains two buildings totaling 276,585 rentable square feet. We plan to demolish one building with 98,360 rentable square feet and add a new 97,613 rentable square foot building after the in-place lease terminates. At completion, the total project will contain 275,838 rentable square feet. (12) We consider a repositioning property to be stabilized upon the earlier of (i) reaching 90% occupancy or (ii) one year from the date construction work is completed. (13) Repositioning construction work for 7110 East Rosecrans Avenue was completed in the 3Q-2019 and is considered stabilized as of 3Q-2020, which is one year from the date construction work was completed. (14) During 1Q-2020, we acquired 701-727 Kingshill Place, a six-building property totaling 169,914 rentable square feet. The information presented above is related to only one of the six buildings which is located at 727 Kingshill Place (46,005 rentable square feet). (15) On September 9, 2020, the tenant occupying a 58,802 rentable square foot unit at 2722 Fairview Street exercised its option to purchase the property, and on September 30, 2020, the sale was completed. Properties that are nonoperational as a result of repositioning or redevelopment activity may qualify for varying levels of interest, insurance and real estate tax capitalization during the redevelopment and construction period. An increase in our repositioning and redevelopment activities resulting from value-add acquisitions could cause an increase in the asset balances qualifying for interest, insurance and tax capitalization in future periods. We capitalized $3.9 million of interest expense and $1.2 million of insurance and real estate tax expense during the year ended December 31, 2020, related to our repositioning and redevelopment projects. Rental Revenues Our operating results depend primarily upon generating rental revenue from the properties in our portfolio. The amount of rental revenue generated by these properties is affected by our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rental rates at our properties, which will depend upon our ability to lease vacant space and re-lease expiring space at favorable rates. Occupancy Rates As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated portfolio, inclusive of space in repositioning as described in the subsequent paragraph, was approximately 95.2% occupied, while our stabilized consolidated portfolio exclusive of such space was approximately 96.7% occupied. We believe the opportunity to increase occupancy at our properties will be an important driver of 57 future revenue growth. An opportunity to drive this growth will derive from the completion and lease-up of repositioning and redevelopment projects that are currently under construction. As summarized in the tables under “Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Redevelopment of Properties” above, as of December 31, 2020, three of our properties with a combined 0.4 million rentable square feet at completion are in current repositioning or redevelopment, and one property with 0.3 million rentable square feet is in lease-up. Additionally, we have a near-term pipeline of 14 repositioning and redevelopment projects with a combined 2.0 million of estimated rentable square feet at completion. Vacant space at these properties are concentrated in our Los Angeles, Orange County and San Bernardino markets and represent 1.5% of our total consolidated portfolio square footage as of December 31, 2020. Including vacant space at these properties our weighted average occupancy rate as of December 31, 2020, in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Bernardino was 97.2%, 95.7% and 87.5%, respectively. Excluding vacant repositioning and lease-up space at these properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of December 31, 2020, in these markets was 97.7%, 99.2% and 92.7%, respectively. We believe that an important portion of our long-term future growth will come from the completion of these projects currently under or scheduled for repositioning, as well as through the identification or acquisition of new opportunities for redevelopment and repositioning, whether in our existing portfolio or through new investments, which may vary from period to period subject to market conditions. The occupancy rate of properties not undergoing repositioning is affected by regional and local economic conditions in our Southern California infill markets. In the last several years, the Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego county markets have continued to show historically low vacancy and positive absorption, resulting from high tenant demand combined with low product availability. Accordingly, our properties in these markets have generally exhibited a similar trend. While we believe the opportunity to increase occupancy and rental rates at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth, there can be no assurance that recent positive market trends will continue, due in part to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact it will have on the global economy and our local infill Southern California markets. Leasing Activity and Rental Rates The following tables set forth our leasing activity for new and renewal leases on a quarterly basis for the year ended December 31, 2020: Quarter Q1-2020 Q2-2020 Q3-2020 Q4-2020 Total/Weighted Average Number of Leases Rentable Square Feet 47 49 52 57 205 424,435 550,977 987,176 672,134 2,634,722 New Leases Weighted Average Lease Term (in years) Effective Rent Per Square Foot (1) GAAP Leasing Spreads (2)(4) 4.3 4.0 5.3 4.7 4.7 $ $ $ $ $ 12.46 11.57 11.54 11.58 11.70 33.5 % 37.9 % 38.9 % 31.0 % 35.7 % Cash Leasing (3)(4) Spreads 22.1 % 17.9 % 25.5 % 20.5 % 22.1 % Renewal Leases Number of Leases 60 74 49 51 Rentable Square Feet 1,169,923 818,529 575,003 1,132,687 Weighted Average Lease Term (in years) 4.3 5.0 3.5 4.6 234 3,696,142 4.4 Effective Rent Per Square (1) Foot $ $ $ $ $ 12.28 11.87 10.22 11.14 11.52 Quarter Q1-2020 Q2-2020 Q3-2020 Q4-2020 Total/Weighted Average Expiring Leases (6) Retention % (7) GAAP Leasing Spreads (2)(5) Cash Leasing (3)(5) Spreads Number of Leases 37.2 % 30.4 % 16.7 % 29.5 % 24.8 % 18.3 % 10.5 % 17.3 % 30.2 % 18.9 % 107 131 89 109 436 Rentable Square Feet 1,685,186 1,328,499 998,277 1,852,689 Rentable Square Feet 80.8 % 66.9 % 68.1 % 79.0 % 5,864,651 74.8 % (1) Effective rent per square foot is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease, expressed in dollars per square foot per year. Includes all new and renewal leases that were executed during each respective quarter. 58 (2) Calculated as the change between GAAP rents, which straightlines rental rate increases and abatements, for new or renewal leases and the expiring GAAP rents on the expiring leases for the same space. (3) Calculated as the change between starting cash rents, excluding any abatements, for new or renewal leases and the expiring cash rents on the expiring leases for the same space. (4) The GAAP and cash re-leasing spreads for new leases executed during the year ended December 31, 2020, exclude 61 leases aggregating 1,413,171 rentable square feet for which there was no comparable lease data. Of these 61 excluded leases, 10 leases aggregating 485,012 rentable square feet are leases of recently repositioned/redeveloped space. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space that has never been occupied under our ownership, (ii) recently repositioned/redeveloped space, (iii) space that has been vacant for over one year or (iv) space with lease terms shorter than six months. (5) The GAAP and cash re-leasing rent spreads for renewal leases executed during the year ended December 31, 2020, exclude six leases aggregating 178,310 rentable square feet for which there was no comparable lease data. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space with different lease structures or (ii) space with lease terms shorter than six months. Includes four leases totaling 211,782 rentable square feet that expired during the year ended December 31, 2020, for which the space was placed into repositioning after each tenant vacated. (6) (7) Retention is calculated as renewal lease square footage plus relocation/expansion square footage, divided by the square footage of leases expiring during the period. Retention excludes square footage related to the following: (i) expiring leases associated with space that is placed into repositioning after the tenant vacates, (ii) early terminations with pre-negotiated replacement leases and (iii) move outs where space is directly leased by subtenants. Our leasing activity is impacted both by our repositioning and redevelopment efforts, as well as by market conditions. While we reposition a property, its space may become unavailable for leasing until completion of our repositioning efforts. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we stabilized properties with a combined 0.6 million rentable square feet and we have one property in the lease-up stage. As of December 31, 2020, we have three current repositioning/redevelopment projects with estimated construction completion periods ranging from the first quarter of 2021 through the fourth quarter of 2021, and additional repositioning and redevelopment projects in our pipeline with estimated completion dates through the first quarter of 2023. We expect these properties to have positive impacts on our leasing activity and revenue generation as we complete our value-add plans and place these properties in service. Scheduled Lease Expirations Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the relative desirability of our individual properties, which may impact our results of operations. As of December 31, 2020, 1.1 million rentable square feet of our portfolio was available for lease, 0.1 million rentable square feet of vacant space was under repositioning and leases representing 0.3 million rentable square feet of our portfolio expired on December 31, 2020. Additionally, leases representing 15.3% and 14.5% of the aggregate rentable square footage of our portfolio are scheduled to expire during the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we renewed 234 leases for 3.7 million rentable square feet, resulting in a 74.8% retention rate. Our retention rate during the period was impacted by the combination of low vacancy and high demand in many of our key markets. New and renewal leases signed during the current year had a weighted average term of 4.7 and 4.4 years, respectively, and we expect future new and renewal leases to have similar terms. The leases scheduled to expire during the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2022, represent 15.5% and 16.2%, respectively, of the total annualized base rent for our portfolio as of December 31, 2020. We estimate that, on a weighted average basis, in-place rents of leases scheduled to expire in 2021 and 2022 are currently below current market asking rates, although individual units or properties within any particular submarket may currently be leased either above, below, or at the current market asking rates within that submarket. As described under “Market and Portfolio Fundamentals” above, while market indicators, including changes in vacancy rates and average asking lease rates, varied by market, overall there was continued low market vacancy and pervasive supply and demand imbalance across our submarkets, which continues to support strong market fundamentals including positive rental growth. Therefore we expect market dynamics to remain strong heading into 2021 and that these positive trends will provide a favorable environment for additional increases in lease renewal rates. Accordingly, we expect 2021 will show positive renewal rates and leasing spreads, however, due to the continued uncertainty created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot guarantee that they will be as strong as the rental rates and leasing spreads we have experienced in 2020 and prior to 2020. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.” 59 Conditions in Our Markets The properties in our portfolio are located primarily in Southern California infill markets. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, including the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and related state and local government reactions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in this market may affect our overall performance. Property Expenses Our property expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, site repair and maintenance costs, and the allocation of overhead costs. For the majority of our properties, our property expenses are recovered, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross expense reimbursements in tenant leases. The majority of our leases also comprise contractual three percent or greater annual rental rate increases meant, in part, to help mitigate potential increases in property expenses over time. However, the terms of our leases vary and, in some instances, we may absorb property expenses. Our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property expenses to our tenants. Taxable REIT Subsidiary As of December 31, 2020, our Operating Partnership indirectly and wholly owns Rexford Industrial Realty and Management, Inc., which we refer to as the services company. We have elected, together with our services company, to treat our services company as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. A taxable REIT subsidiary generally may provide non-customary and other services to our tenants and engage in activities that we may not engage in directly without adversely affecting our qualification as a REIT, provided a taxable REIT subsidiary may not operate or manage a lodging facility or health care facility or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated. We may form additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future, and our Operating Partnership may contribute some or all of its interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries or their assets to our services company. Any income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not be included in our taxable income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests, except to the extent such income is distributed to us as a dividend, in which case such dividend income will qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. Because a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax, and state and local income tax (where applicable) as a regular corporation, the income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally will be subject to an additional level of tax as compared to the income earned by our other subsidiaries. Our taxable REIT subsidiary is a C-corporation subject to federal and state income tax. However it has a cumulative unrecognized net operation loss carryforward and therefore there is no income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have summarized below those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on financial condition and results of operations. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies. A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of an entity’s financial condition and results of operations and requires judgment on the part of management. Generally, the judgment requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by the users of our financial statements in their evaluation of our performance. The following critical accounting policies discussion reflects what we believe are the most significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies and discussion of new accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 15 of this report on Form 10-K. 60 Investment in Real Estate Acquisitions We account for acquisitions of properties under Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses and further revises the definition of a business. We evaluated the acquisitions that we completed during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and determined that under this framework these transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions. Our acquisitions of properties generally no longer meet the revised definition of a business and accordingly are accounted for as asset acquisitions. For asset acquisitions, we allocate the cost of the acquisition, which includes the purchase price and associated acquisition transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. These individual assets and liabilities typically include land, building and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities related to above- and below-market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, and from time to time, assumed debt. As there is no measurement period concept for an asset acquisition, the allocated cost of the acquired assets is finalized in the period in which the acquisition occurs. We determine the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use. These Level 3 inputs include discount rates, capitalization rates, market rents and comparable sales data for similar properties. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. In calculating the “as-if-vacant” value for acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used discount rates ranging from 4.75% and 7.00% and capitalization rates ranging from 4.00% to 6.00%. In determining the fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities, we also consider Level 3 inputs. Acquired above- and below-market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases, if applicable. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the costs that would have been incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period necessary to lease such property to its occupancy level at the time of its acquisition. In determining the fair value of acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used an estimated average lease-up period ranging from six months to nine months. The difference between the fair value and the face value of debt assumed in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to “interest expense” over the life of the debt assumed. The valuation of assumed liabilities is based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of debt assumed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used estimated market interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 3.75%. Capitalization of Costs We capitalize direct costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. This includes certain general and administrative costs, including payroll, bonus, and non-cash equity compensation of the personnel performing redevelopment, renovations and rehabilitation if such costs are identifiable to a specific activity to get the real estate asset ready for its intended use. During the development and construction periods of a project, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes and insurance costs. We cease capitalization of costs upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. If some portions of a project are substantially complete and ready for use and other portions have not yet reached that stage, we cease capitalizing costs on the completed portion of the project but continue to capitalize for the incomplete portion of the project. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. We capitalized interest costs of $3.9 million, $3.9 million and $2.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We capitalized real estate taxes and insurance aggregating $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We capitalized compensation costs for employees who provide construction services of $4.1 million, $2.7 million and $2.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 61 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC Topic 360: Property, Plant, and Equipment, we assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To review real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The intent with regard to the underlying assets might change as market conditions and other factors change. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan used to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with respect to our investment that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties. Revenue Recognition Our primary sources of revenue are rental income, management, leasing and development services and gains on sale of real estate. Rental Income We lease industrial space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for minimum base rents plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Total minimum annual lease payments are recognized in rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, regardless of when payments are contractually due, when collectability is probable. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental income, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants. Our lease agreements with tenants generally contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse us for certain property expenses. Estimated reimbursements from tenants for these property expenses, which include real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses, are recognized as revenues in the period that the expenses are incurred. Subsequent to year-end, we perform final reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any cumulative annual adjustments. Management, leasing and development services We provide property management services and leasing services to related party and third-party property owners (the “customer”) in exchange for fees and commissions. Property management services include performing property inspections, monitoring repairs and maintenance, negotiating vendor contracts, maintaining tenant relations and providing financial and accounting oversight. For these services, we earn monthly management fees, which are based on a fixed percentage of each managed property’s monthly tenant cash receipts. We have determined that control over the services is passed to the customer simultaneously as performance occurs. Accordingly, management fee revenue is earned as services are provided to the customer. Leasing commissions are earned when we provide leasing services to the customer that result in an executed lease with a tenant. We have determined that control over the services is transferred to the customer upon execution of each lease agreement. We earn leasing commissions based on a fixed percentage of rental income generated for each executed lease agreement and there is no variable income component. 62 Gain or Loss on Sale of Real Estate We account for dispositions of real estate properties, which are considered nonfinancial assets, in accordance with ASC 610-20: Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets and recognize a gain or loss on sale of real estate upon transferring control of the nonfinancial asset to the purchaser, which is generally satisfied at the time of sale. If we were to conduct a partial sale of real estate by transferring a controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, while retaining a noncontrolling ownership interest, we would measure any noncontrolling interest received or retained at fair value, and recognize a full gain or loss. If we receive consideration before transferring control of a nonfinancial asset, we recognize a contract liability. If we transfer control of the asset before consideration is received, we recognize a contract asset. Valuation of Operating Lease Receivables We may be subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables, including deferred rent receivables arising from the straight-line recognition of rental income, related to our operating leases. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. On a quarterly basis, we perform an assessment of the collectability of operating lease receivables on a tenant-by-tenant basis, which includes reviewing the age and nature of our receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, our assessment of the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations and the status of negotiations of any disputes with the tenant. Any changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease is recognized as an adjustment, which can be a reduction or increase, to rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of our quarterly collectability assessments, we recognized $5.0 million and $0.7 million, $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, as a reduction of rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. Results of Operations Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of (i) property acquisitions, (ii) property dispositions and (iii) properties that are taken out of service for repositioning or redevelopment during the comparative reporting periods. Our “Total Portfolio” represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods. To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions, dispositions and repositioning/redevelopment and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our “Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio.” Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2020 to the Year Ended December 31, 2019 For the comparison of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio includes all properties in our industrial portfolio that were wholly-owned by us for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020, and that were stabilized prior to January 1, 2019, which consisted of 159 properties aggregating approximately 19.7 million rentable square feet. Results for our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio exclude any properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020, properties classified as current or future repositioning, redevelopment or lease-up during 2019 or 2020, interest income, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. For the comparison of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, our Total Portfolio includes the properties in our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio, the 78 properties aggregating approximately 10.3 million rentable square feet that were acquired during 2020 and 2019, and the eight properties aggregating approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet that were sold during 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio occupancy was approximately 98.2% and 98.3%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 98.3% and 98.0%, respectively. 63 Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio Total Portfolio Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Increase/ (Decrease) % Change Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Increase/ (Decrease) % Change ($ in thousands) 232,477 223,985 — — 232,477 54,434 — 77,166 131,600 — — 131,600 — — — — 223,985 52,228 — 80,431 132,659 — — 132,659 — — 91,326 $ 8,492 — — 8,492 2,206 — (3,265) (1,059) — — (1,059) — — 9,551 3.8 % 329,377 264,252 65,125 24.6 % — % — % 3.8 % 4.2 % — % (4.1) % (0.8) % — % — % (0.8) % 420 338 330,135 79,716 36,795 115,269 231,780 406 2,555 267,213 63,272 30,300 98,891 192,463 124 30,849 262,753 (104) 13,617 80,895 $ 171 26,875 219,509 — 16,297 64,001 $ $ 14 (2,217) 62,922 16,444 6,495 16,378 39,317 (47) 3,974 43,244 (104) (2,680) 16,894 3.4 % (86.8)% 23.5 % 26.0 % 21.4 % 16.6 % 20.4 % (27.5)% 14.8 % 19.7 % REVENUES Rental income Management, leasing and development services Interest income TOTAL REVENUES OPERATING EXPENSES Property expenses General and administrative Depreciation and amortization TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES OTHER EXPENSE Acquisition expenses Interest expense TOTAL EXPENSES Loss on extinguishment of debt Gain on sale of real estate NET INCOME $ 100,877 $ Rental Income On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective approach and elected the “non-separation practical expedient” in ASC 842 that alleviates the requirement to separately present lease and non-lease components of lease contracts if certain criteria are met. As a result, we account for and present all rental income earned pursuant to tenant leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single component in one line, “Rental income,” in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the adoption ASC 842, we presented rental revenue, tenant reimbursements and other income related to leases separately in our consolidated statements of operations. The following table reports the breakdown of 2020 and 2019 rental income, as reported prior to the adoption of ASC 842 (dollars in thousands). We believe that the below presentation of rental income is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. We are presenting this information because we believe it is frequently used by management, investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to evaluate the Company’s performance. Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio Total Portfolio Category Rental revenue Tenant reimbursements Other income (1) (3) Rental income Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ 197,351 $ 189,108 $ (2) 34,590 536 33,616 1,261 $ 232,477 $ 223,985 $ Increase/(Decrease) 8,243 974 (725) 8,492 % Year Ended December 31, Change 2020 2019 4.4 % $ 276,633 $ 222,464 $ 2.9 % (57.5)% 52,141 603 3.8 % $ 329,377 $ 264,252 $ 40,391 1,397 Increase/(Decrease) 54,169 11,750 (794) 65,125 % Change 24.3 % 29.1 % (56.8)% 24.6 % 64 Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental income increased by $8.5 million, or 3.8%, and $65.1 million, or 24.6%, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, for the reasons described below: (1) Rental Revenue Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased by $8.2 million, or 4.4%, and $54.2 million, or 24.3%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio rental revenue is primarily due to an increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases and the increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio, partially offset by an increase of approximately $3.5 million in reserves/write-offs for tenant and deferred rent receivables deemed not probable of collection, primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19, and a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in the amortization of net below-market lease intangibles. Our Total Portfolio rental revenue was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 78 properties we acquired during 2019 and 2020, partially offset by the decrease in revenues from the eight properties that were sold during 2019 and 2020. Refer to “—COVID-19 Update” above for a summary of COVID-19 related rent relief provided to tenants during 2020 and January 2021. Because rent relief provided to tenants (e.g., acceleration of future contractual rent concessions and the deferral of contractual base rent) did not substantially change the total amount of rent payments in the original lease contracts (only the timing of rent payments has changed), to the extent amounts remain collectable, rental income recognized in each period over the term of the lease will not substantially change. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—COVID-19 Lease Concessions” to our consolidated financial statements under Item 15 of this report on Form 10-K for additional information. (2) Tenant Reimbursements Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $1.0 million, or 2.9%, and $11.8 million or 29.1%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue is primarily due to an increase in reimbursable property expenses, partially offset by lower tenant reimbursements resulting from the completion of prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 78 properties we acquired during 2019 and 2020, partially offset by the decrease in reimbursements from the eight properties that were sold during 2019 and 2020. (3) Other Income Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income decreased by $0.7 million, or 57.5%, and $0.8 million, or 56.8%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in late fee income as a result of COVID-19 related California governmental measures, many of which prohibit landlords from charging tenant late fees, and the reversal of prior year late fees. Management, Leasing and Development Services Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue increased by $14 thousand, or 3.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest Income Our Total Portfolio interest income decreased by $2.2 million, or 86.8%, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, due to a decrease in both the average interest rate earned and the average cash balance invested in money market accounts. Property Expenses Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 4.2%, and $16.4 million, or 26.0%, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to increases in real estate tax expense relating to California Proposition 13 annual increases, allocated overhead costs, repairs and maintenance expense, insurance expense and utilities expense. Our Total Portfolio property expenses were also impacted by incremental expenses from the 78 65 properties we acquired during 2019 and 2020, partially offset by the decrease in property expenses from the eight properties that were sold during 2019 and 2020. General and Administrative Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased by $6.5 million, or 21.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to increases in payroll related expenses, non-cash equity compensation expense and accrued bonus expense. Depreciation and Amortization Our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 4.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to acquisition-related tenant improvements and in-place lease intangibles becoming fully depreciated at certain properties during 2019 and 2020, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements placed into service during 2019 and 2020 and an increase in amortization of deferred leasing costs. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased by $16.4 million, or 16.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to incremental expense from the 78 properties we acquired during 2019 and 2020, and an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements, partially offset by the decrease in our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense noted above. Acquisition Expenses Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses decreased by $47.0 thousand, or 27.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest Expense Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $4.0 million, or 14.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to a $2.2 million increase related to the private placement of $100.0 million of senior notes that was completed in July 2019, a $1.4 million increase related to the assumption of $63.2 million of debt as part of the consideration for the acquisition of 11 properties during 2020, and a $1.1 million increase due to the issuance of $400.0 million of senior notes in November 2020, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease related to our variable rate $60 million term loan due to decreases in the LIBOR rate. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt In November 2020, we repaid our $100.0 million term loan facility in advance of the February 2022 maturity date. The loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million represents the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the term loan. Gain on Sale of Real Estate During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a total gain on sale of real estate of $13.6 million, which is comprised of (i) a combined gain of $14.5 million from the disposition of four properties that were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of $45.5 million, and (ii) a $0.9 million loss on disposition of personal property that was originally acquired as part of the acquisition of 1055 Sandhill Avenue and valued at $2.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized a total gain on sale of real estate of $16.3 million from the disposition of three properties and one industrial condominium unit that were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of $33.6 million. Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2019 to the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020, for a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. 66 Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: Funds From Operations We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, gains (or losses) from sales of assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and asset impairments, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FFO (in thousands): Net income Add: Depreciation and amortization Deduct: Gain on sale of real estate Funds from operations (FFO) (1) Less: preferred stock dividends Less: FFO attributable to noncontrolling interest Less: FFO attributable to participating securities (2) (3) FFO attributable to common stockholders Year Ended December 31, 2019 2020 2018 80,895 $ 64,001 $ 47,075 115,269 98,891 80,042 (13,617) 182,547 $ (14,545) (7,654) (772) 159,576 $ (16,297) 146,595 $ (11,055) (3,897) (733) 130,910 $ (17,222) 109,895 (9,694) (2,295) (642) 97,264 $ $ $ (1) Gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes a total gain of $14.5 million from the sale of depreciable operating properties and a loss of $0.9 million from the sale of assets incidental to our business. For additional details, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report on Form 10-K. (2) Noncontrolling interests represent (i) holders of outstanding common units of the Company's Operating Partnership that are owned by unit holders other than the Company and (ii) holders of Series 1 CPOP Units and Series 2 CPOP Units. (3) Participating securities include unvested shares of restricted stock, unvested LTIP units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership and unvested performance units in our Operating Partnership. Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures: NOI and Cash NOI Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties. NOI is calculated as rental income less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization). 67 We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sale of real estate and other non-operating items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. NOI on a cash-basis (“Cash NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting the following items from NOI: i) fair value lease revenue and ii) straight-line rental revenue adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. The following table sets forth the revenue and expense items comprising NOI and the adjustments to calculate Cash NOI (in thousands): Rental income Less: Property expenses Net Operating Income Amortization of (below) above market lease intangibles, net Straight line rental revenue adjustment Cash Net Operating Income 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 329,377 79,716 249,661 $ (10,533) (11,406) 227,722 $ 264,252 63,272 200,980 $ (7,907) (7,588) 185,485 $ 210,643 51,671 158,972 (5,981) (6,477) 146,514 $ $ The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to NOI and Cash NOI (in thousands): Net income Add: General and administrative Depreciation and amortization Acquisition expenses Interest expense Loss on extinguishment of debt Deduct: Management, leasing and development services Interest income Gain on sale of real estate Net Operating Income Amortization of (below) above market lease intangibles, net Straight line rental revenue adjustment Cash Net Operating Income 68 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2020 2018 $ 80,895 $ 64,001 $ 47,075 36,795 115,269 124 30,849 104 420 338 13,617 249,661 $ (10,533) (11,406) 227,722 $ 30,300 98,891 171 26,875 — 406 2,555 16,297 200,980 $ (7,907) (7,588) 185,485 $ 25,194 80,042 318 25,416 — 473 1,378 17,222 158,972 (5,981) (6,477) 146,514 $ $ Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: EBITDAre We calculate earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT. EBITDAre is calculated as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses and adjustments to reflect our proportionate share of EBITDAre from our prior unconsolidated joint venture. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. In addition, we believe EBITDAre is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs. However, our industry peers may not calculate EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do and, accordingly, our EBITDAre may not be comparable to our peers’ EBITDAre. Accordingly, EBITDAre should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDAre (in thousands): Net income Interest expense Depreciation and amortization Gain on sale of real estate EBITDAre Supplemental Guarantor Information 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 80,895 $ 30,849 115,269 (13,617) 213,396 $ 64,001 $ 26,875 98,891 (16,297) 173,470 $ 47,075 25,416 80,042 (17,222) 135,311 $ $ In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and created Rule 13-01 to simplify disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities. The rule became effective January 4, 2021. The Company and the Operating Partnership have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. At December 31, 2020, the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding $400.0 million of 2.125% senior notes due 2030 (the “$400 Million Notes”). The obligations of the Operating Partnership to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest on the $400 Million Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Operating Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is “full and unconditional” and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and distributions to our common and preferred stockholders and holders of common units of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash on hand, cash flow from operations, by drawing on our unsecured revolving credit facility and by issuing shares of common stock pursuant to the at-the-market equity offering program or issuing other securities as described below. 69 Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through net cash flow from operations, proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings, borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities, including preferred stock, and proceeds from selective real estate dispositions as we identify capital recycling opportunities. As of December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $176.3 million, and we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, leaving $500.0 million available for future borrowings. Sources of Liquidity Cash Flow from Operations Cash flow from operations is one of our key sources of liquidity and is primarily dependent upon: (i) the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, (ii) our ability to collect rent, (iii) the level of operating costs we incur and (iv) our ability to pass through operating expenses to our tenants. Our ability to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are subject to a number of risks, which have been heightened as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, related to general economic conditions, including reduced occupancy levels, tenant defaults and bankruptcies and potential reductions in rental rates on new and renewal leases, which have the potential to affect our overall performance and resulting cash flows from operations. ATM Program On November 9, 2020, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$750 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $750.0 million of our common stock through sales agents or forward sellers. The $750 Million ATM Program replaces our previous $550.0 million at-the-market equity offering program which was established on June 13, 2019 (the “Prior ATM Program”). Under the Prior ATM Program, we had offered and sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of $296.5 million through November 9, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold a total of 3,165,661 shares of our common stock under the $750 Million ATM Program and the Prior ATM Program at a weighted average price of $39.96 per share, for gross proceeds of $126.5 million, and net proceeds of $124.7 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. As of December 31, 2020, we had the capacity to issue up to an additional $720.7 million of common stock under the $750 Million ATM Program. Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and capital needs. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of shares under the $750 Million ATM Program, if any, to fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay amounts outstanding from time to time under our unsecured revolving credit facility or other debt financing obligations, to fund our development or redevelopment activities and/or for general corporate purposes. Securities Offerings During the second quarter of 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 7,187,500 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional 937,500 shares of our common stock, at a price to the underwriters of $39.67 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $285.0 million after deducting offering costs. In December 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 6,900,000 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional 900,000 shares of our common stock, at a price to the underwriters of $47.15 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $325.0 million after deducting offering costs. We used the net proceeds from these offerings to fund the acquisition of properties and for general corporate purposes. On November 16, 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million of 2.125% senior notes due 2030. The $400 Million Notes were issued at 99.211% of the principal amount, with a coupon rate of 2.125%. Interest on the $400 Million Notes is payable semiannually on the first day of June and December in each year, beginning on June 1, 2021, until maturity on December 1, 2030. We may redeem the $400 Million Notes at our option and sole discretion in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to September 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date of the $400 Million Notes) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the $400 Million Notes being redeemed; and (ii) a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after September 1, 2030 (three months prior to 70 the maturity date of the $400 Million Notes), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the $400 Million Notes being redeemed. We used the net proceeds from the $400 Million Notes to fund acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities and the repayment of our $100 Million Term Loan Facility that was due on February 14, 2022. We evaluate the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and as circumstances warrant, we may issue additional securities, from time to time, to fund acquisitions, for the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Such securities may include common equity, preferred equity and/or debt of us or our subsidiaries. Any future issuance, however, is dependent upon market conditions, available pricing and capital needs and there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities. Capital Recycling We continuously evaluate opportunities for the potential disposition of properties in our portfolio when we believe such disposition is appropriate in view of our business objectives. In evaluating these opportunities, we consider a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, local market conditions and lease rates, asset type and location, as well as potential uses of proceeds and tax considerations. Tax considerations include entering into a 1031 Exchange transaction, when possible, to defer some or all of the taxable gains, if any, on dispositions. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed the sale of four properties for a total gross sales price of $45.5 million and total net cash proceeds of $43.6 million. The net cash proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of an industrial park with four buildings during the year ended December 31, 2020, through a 1031 Exchange transaction. We anticipate continuing to selectively and opportunistically dispose of properties, however, the timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions, asset-specific circumstances or opportunities, and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of selective properties on advantageous terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable, which may be impacted by the current COVID-19 pandemic. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part I, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors.” Investment Grade Rating On October 29, 2020, we received an investment grade rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and an investment grade rating of BBB from S&P, complementing our current BBB rating received from Fitch. In November 2020, Fitch affirmed our investment grade credit rating of BBB with a stable outlook on our Credit Agreement (described below), our $225 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$225 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $150 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$150 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $100 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”), our $125 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$125 Million Notes”) and our $25 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes and $75 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (together the “Series 2019A and 2019B Notes”). They also affirmed our investment grade credit rating of BB+ on our 5.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, our 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and our Series C Preferred Stock. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and, although it is our intent to maintain our investment grade credit rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due. Credit Agreement On February 13, 2020, we amended our $450 million credit agreement, that was scheduled to mature on February 14, 2021, by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $600.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”) which was fully drawn under the prior credit agreement. The Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 13, 2024, and has two six-month extension options available, and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, which was scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022, was fully repaid without premium or penalty on November 16, 2020, and may not be reborrowed. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $900.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver, additional term loan tranches or a combination of the foregoing. As a result of obtaining the two additional investment grade ratings noted above, effective October 29, 2020, we elected to convert the pricing structure under the Credit Agreement to be based on such ratings, whereas the pricing structure was previously based upon our leverage ratio. As such, as of December 31, 2020, interest on the Credit Agreement is based upon, at 71 our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our investment grade ratings or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our investment grade ratings. The margins for the Revolver range in amount 0.725% to 1.40% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.45% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our investment grade ratings. Prior to repayment, the margins for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility ranged in amount from 0.85% to 1.65% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.65% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our investment grade ratings. In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our credit ratings, on each lender's commitment amount under the Revolver, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee ranges in amount from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum, depending on our investment grade rating. The Revolver may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, leaving $500.0 million available for future borrowings. Uses of Liquidity Acquisitions One of our most significant liquidity needs has historically been for the acquisition of real estate properties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we acquired 38 properties with a combined 5.0 million rentable square feet for a total gross purchase price of $1.2 billion, and we are actively monitoring a volume of properties in our markets that we believe represent attractive potential investment opportunities to continue to grow our business. As of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have approximately $324.0 million of acquisitions under contract or letter of intent. There can be no assurance we will complete any such acquisitions. While the actual number of acquisitions that we complete will be dependent upon a number of factors, in the short term, we expect to fund our acquisitions through available cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings available under the Revolver, recycling capital through property dispositions and, in the long term, through the issuance of equity securities or proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings. Recurring and Nonrecurring Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures are considered part of both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $6.9 million of recurring capital expenditures, which was an increase of $0.1 million over the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $66.6 million of non-recurring capital expenditures, which was an increase of $32.5 million over the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in non-recurring capital expenditures related to repositioning/redevelopment activity during 2020 compared to 2019. As discussed above under —Factors that May Influence Future Results —Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Redevelopment of Properties, as of December 31, 2020, four of our properties were under current repositioning, redevelopment, or lease-up, and we have a pipeline of 14 additional properties for which we anticipate beginning construction work during 2021. We currently estimate that approximately $147.4 million of capital will be required over the next three years (2021-2023) to complete the repositioning/redevelopment of these properties. However, this estimate is based on our current construction plans and budgets, both of which are subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread, which has and may continue to cause delays or which may increase costs associated with building materials or construction services. If we are unable to complete construction on schedule or within budget, we could incur increased construction costs and experience potential delays in leasing the properties. We expect to fund these projects through a combination of cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock under the $750 Million ATM Program and borrowings available under the Revolver. Commitments and Contractual Obligations 72 The following table sets forth our principal obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2020, including (i) scheduled principal payments and debt maturities, (ii) periodic interest payments related to our outstanding indebtedness and interest rate swaps, (iii) operating lease payments and (iv) other contractual obligations (in thousands): Principal payments and debt maturities Interest payments - fixed rate debt Interest payments - variable rate debt Operating lease payments (4) Contractual obligations (3) (1) (2) Total Payments Due by Period Less than 1 Year (2021) 1-3 Years (2022- 2023) 3-5 Years (2024- 2025) More than 5 Years (After 2025) $ $ 1,609 $ 24,335 13,113 1,468 40,236 80,761 $ 291,741 $ 48,394 17,676 3,239 — 361,050 $ 114,103 $ 46,981 7,111 2,072 — 170,267 $ 816,041 $ 85,179 — — — 901,220 $ Total 1,223,494 204,889 37,900 6,779 40,236 1,513,298 (1) Reflects scheduled interest payments on our fixed rate debt, including the $400 Million Notes, $100 Million Notes, $125 Million Notes, Series 2019A and 2019B Notes and our various mortgage loans. (2) Reflects an estimate of interest payments due on variable rate debt, including the impact of interest rate swaps. For variable rate debt where interest is paid based on LIBOR plus an applicable LIBOR margin, we used the applicable LIBOR margin in effect as of December 31, 2020, and the one-month LIBOR rate of 0.1439%, as of December 31, 2020. Furthermore, it is assumed that any maturity extension options available are not exercised. (3) See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report on Form 10-K for further details regarding our office and ground leases. (4) Includes total commitments for tenant improvements related to obligations under certain tenant leases and construction work related to obligations under contractual agreements with our construction vendors. We anticipate these obligations to be paid as incurred in 2021 and 2022, however, as the timing of these obligations is subject to a number of factors, for purposes of this table, we have included the full amount under “Less than 1 Year (2021).” Dividends and Distributions In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, we intend to distribute a percentage of our cash flow on a quarterly basis to holders of our common stock. In addition, we intend to make distribution payments to holders of OP Units and preferred units, and dividend payments to holders of our preferred stock. On February 8, 2021, our board of directors declared the following quarterly cash dividends/distributions: Security Common stock OP Units 5.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 5.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock 4.43937% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Units 4.00% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Units Amount per Share/Unit Record Date Payment Date 0.24 0.24 0.367188 0.367188 0.351563 0.505085 0.450000 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 March 15, 2021 March 15, 2021 March 15, 2021 March 15, 2021 March 15, 2021 April 15, 2021 April 15, 2021 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 March 31, 2021 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 73 Consolidated Indebtedness The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our consolidated indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2020: Contractual Maturity Date Margin Above LIBOR Effective Interest Rate (1) Principal Balance (in (2) thousands) Maturity Date of Effective Swaps Unsecured and Secured Debt: (3) Unsecured Debt: Revolving Credit Facility $225M Term Loan Facility $150M Term Loan Facility $100M Notes $125M Notes $25M Series 2019A Notes $400M Senior Notes $75M Series 2019B Notes Total Unsecured Debt Secured Debt: 2601-2641 Manhattan Beach Boulevard $60M Term Loan 960-970 Knox Street 7612-7642 Woodwind Drive 11600 Los Nietos Road 5160 Richton Street 22895 Eastpark Drive 701-751 Kingshill Place 13943-13955 Balboa Boulevard 2205 126th Street 2410-2420 Santa Fe Avenue 11832-11954 La Cienega Boulevard Gilbert/La Palma Total Secured Debt Total Debt 1/14/2022 11/22/2024 2/13/2024 (4) 1/14/2023 5/22/2025 8/6/2025 7/13/2027 7/16/2029 12/1/2030 7/16/2034 4/5/2023 8/1/2023 (8) 11/1/2023 1/5/2024 5/1/2024 11/15/2024 11/15/2024 1/5/2026 7/1/2027 12/1/2027 1/1/2028 7/1/2028 3/1/2031 0.850 % (5) 1.100 % (5) 1.550 % (5) n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 1.700 % n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 0.994 % 2.474 % (6) 4.313 % (7) 4.290 % 3.930 % 3.880 % 2.125 % 4.030 % 4.080 % 1.844 % 5.000 % 5.240 % 4.190 % 3.790 % 4.330 % 3.900 % 3.930 % 3.910 % 3.700 % 4.260 % 5.125 % $ $ $ $ $ — 225,000 150,000 100,000 125,000 25,000 400,000 75,000 1,100,000 4,065 58,499 2,488 3,895 2,785 4,387 2,749 7,100 15,661 5,200 10,300 4,072 2,293 123,494 1,223,494 (1) Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of December 31, 2020.

(2) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts totaling $7.3 million as of December 31, 2020. (3) The Revolver is subject to an applicable facility fee which is calculated as a percentage of the total lenders’ commitment amount, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee will range from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum depending upon our investment grade rating. (4) Two additional six-month extensions are available at the borrower’s option, subject to certain terms and conditions. (5) The interest rates on these loans are comprised of LIBOR plus a LIBOR margin. The LIBOR margin will range from 0.725% to 1.400% per annum for the Revolver, 0.90% to 1.75% per annum for the $225 Million Term Loan Facility and 1.40% to 2.35% per annum for the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, depending on our investment grade rating, which may change from time to time. (6) As of December 31, 2020, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed at 1.374% plus the applicable LIBOR margin through the use of two interest rate swaps as follows: (i) $125 million with a strike rate of 1.349% and an effective date of February 14, 2018, and (ii) $100 million with a strike rate of 1.406% and an effective date of August 14, 2018, plus the applicable LIBOR margin. 74 (7) As of December 31, 2020, the $150 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed at 2.7625% plus an applicable LIBOR margin through the use of an interest rate swap with a notional value of $150.0 million and an effective date of July 22, 2019. (8) The $60 million term loan is secured by six properties. One 24-month extension is available at the borrower’s option, subject to certain terms and conditions. The following table summarizes the composition of our consolidated debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate and secured and unsecured debt as of December 31, 2020: Fixed vs. Variable: Fixed Variable Secured vs. Unsecured: Secured Unsecured Average Term Remaining (in years) 6.8 2.6 4.2 6.9 Stated Interest Rate Effective Interest Rate (1) Principal Balance (2) (in thousands) % of Total 3.12% LIBOR + 1.70% -- -- 3.12% 1.84% 3.03% 3.07% $ $ $ $ 1,164,995 58,499 123,494 1,100,000 95% 5% 10% 90% (1) Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of December 31, 2020.

(2) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts totaling $7.3 million as of December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2020, we had total indebtedness of $1.22 billion, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.06% and an average term-to-maturity of 6.6 years. As of December 31, 2020, $1.16 billion, or 95%, of our outstanding indebtedness had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under either the terms of the loan ($790.0 million) or an interest rate swap ($375.0 million). At December 31, 2020, we had total indebtedness of $1.2 billion, reflecting a net debt to total combined market capitalization of approximately 12.9%. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the liquidation preference of our outstanding preferred stock and preferred units plus the market value of our common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt. Our net debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents. Debt Covenants The Credit Facility, $225 Million Term Loan Facility, $150 Million Term Loan Facility, $100 Million Notes, $125 Million Notes and Series 2019A and 2019B Notes all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis: • Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%; • For the Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility and $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%; • For the $100 Million Notes, $125 Million Notes and Series 2019A and 2019B Notes (together the “Senior Notes”), maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%; • For the Senior Notes, maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%; • For the Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility and $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $2,061,865,500, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2019; • For the Senior Notes, maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016; • Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.5 to 1.0; • Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and • Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.00. 75 The $400 Million Notes contains the following covenants that we must comply with: • Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%; • Maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%; • Maintaining a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0; and • Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt of at least 1.5 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility, $150 Million Term Loan Facility and Senior Notes also contain limitations on our ability to pay distributions on our common stock. Specifically, our cash dividends may not exceed the greater of (i) 95% of our FFO (as defined in the credit agreement) and (ii) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our REIT status. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to qualify and maintain our REIT status. Additionally, subject to the terms of the Senior Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the Senior Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Senior Notes agreement and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole payment amount on the outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers. In addition, we are required to maintain at all times a credit rating on the Senior Notes from either S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. As noted above, on October 29, 2020, we received an investment grade rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and BBB from S&P, complementing our current BBB rating from Fitch. The $60 Million Term Loan contains the following financial covenants: • Maintaining a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00, to be tested quarterly; • Maintaining Unencumbered Liquid Assets (as defined in the term loan agreement) of not less than (i) $5 million, or (ii) $8 million if we elect to have Line of Credit Availability (as defined in the term loan agreement) included in the calculation, of which $2 million must be cash or cash equivalents, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year; • Maintaining a minimum Fair Market Net Worth (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least $75 million, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year. We were in compliance with all of our quarterly and annual debt covenants as of December 31, 2020. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. Cash Flows Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2020 to the Year Ended December 31, 2019 The following table summarizes the changes in net cash flows associated with our operating, investing, and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Cash provided by operating activities Cash used in investing activities Cash provided by financing activities Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Change $ $ $ 182,994 $ (987,523) $ 903,195 $ 139,514 $ (972,742) $ 731,484 $ 43,480 (14,781) 171,711 Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $43.5 million to $183.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $139.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to net proceeds of $19.6 million from the sale of our property located at 2722 Fairview Street, which was sold pursuant to the tenant exercising its option to purchase the property (see Note 6 “Leases—Lessor – Sales-Type Lease” to our consolidated financial statements for further details), incremental cash flows from property acquisitions completed subsequent 76 to January 1, 2019, and the increase in Cash NOI from our Stabilized Same Properties Portfolio, partially offset by changes in working capital and higher cash interest as compared to the prior year. Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $14.8 million to $987.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $972.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to a $31.6 million increase in cash paid for construction and repositioning projects and a $8.3 million decrease in net proceeds received from the sale of properties for comparable periods, partially offset by a $25.2 million decrease in cash paid for property acquisitions and acquisition related deposits. Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $171.7 million to $903.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $731.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the following: (i) an increase of $396.8 million in cash proceeds from the issuance of the $400 Million Notes in November 2020, and (ii) an increase of $95.2 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock. These increases were partially offset by the following: (i) a decrease of $100.0 million from the repayment of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility in November 2020, (ii) a decrease of $100.0 million in cash proceeds from the issuance of the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes in July 2019, (iii) a decrease of $83.2 million in net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock in September 2019, (iv) an increase of $25.1 million in dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and common unitholders primarily resulting from the increase in the number of common shares outstanding and the increase in our quarterly per share cash dividend, (v) an increase of $5.9 million in deferred loan costs paid related to the amendment of our senior unsecured credit facility in February 2020 and the issuance of the $400 Million Notes in November 2020, and (vi) an increase of $5.2 million in dividends and distributions paid to preferred stockholders and preferred unit holders resulting from the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock in September 2019, the Series 1 CPOP Units in April 2019 and the Series 2 CPOP Units in March 2020. Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2019 to the Year Ended December 31, 2018 Refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2020, for a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Inflation The majority of our leases are either triple net or provide for tenant reimbursement for costs related to real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases to real estate taxes, utility expenses and other operating expenses may be partially offset by the contractual rent increases and tenant payment of taxes and expenses described above. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. A key market risk we face is interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of using variable-rate debt to satisfy various short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which have interest rates based upon LIBOR. We use interest rate swaps to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. Because actual interest rate movements over time are uncertain, our swaps pose potential interest rate risks, notably if interest rates fall. We also expose ourselves to credit risk, which we attempt to minimize by contracting with highly-rated banking financial counterparties. For a summary of our outstanding variable-rate debt, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources. For a summary of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 15 of this Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2020, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed through the use of two interest rate swaps. The first interest rate swap has a notional value of $125.0 million, an effective date of February 14, 2018, a maturity date of January 14, 2022, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 1.349% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the $225 Million Term Loan Facility. The second interest rate swap has a notional value of $100.0 million, an effective date of August 14, 2018, a maturity date of January 14, 2022, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable on the $225 Million Term Loan Facility at 1.406% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the $225 Million Term Loan Facility. 77 As of December 31, 2020, the $150 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed through the use of an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $150.0 million, an effective date of July 22, 2019, a maturity date of November 22, 2024, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable on the $150 Million Term Loan Facility at 2.7625% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the $150 Million Term Loan Facility. At December 31, 2020, we had total consolidated indebtedness, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, of $1.22 billion. Of this total amount, $1.16 billion, or 95%, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or an interest rate swap. The remaining $58.5 million, or 5%, comprises our variable-rate debt. Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020, if LIBOR were to increase by 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million annually. If LIBOR were to decrease by 50 basis points, assuming an interest rate floor of 0%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would increase our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.1 million annually. Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of variable rate debt outstanding by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt or the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data All information required by this item is listed in the Index to Financial Statements in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1). Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020 at the reasonable assurance level. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no significant changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the most recent year covered by this report in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 78 Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. 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 our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company has used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to assess our internal control over financial reporting. Based upon this assessment, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting operated effectively as of December 31, 2020. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein within Item 15. See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Item 9B. Other Information. None. 79 PART III Item 10.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have 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, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 18, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. F-1 Description of the Matter Recognition of acquired real estate - Purchase price accounting As discussed in Notes 2, 3, and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of 38 properties for a total purchase price of $1.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2020. The transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the purchase prices were allocated to components based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These components include land, buildings and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities related to above and below market leases, and intangible assets related to in-place leases. The fair value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is based on available comparable market information, and estimated cash flow projections that utilize rental rates, discount rates, and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. Auditing the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities involves significant estimation uncertainty due to the judgment used by management in selecting key assumptions based on recent comparable transactions or market information, and the sensitivity of the fair values to changes in assumptions. The allocation of value to the components of properties acquired could have a material effect on the Company’s net income due to the differing depreciable and amortizable lives of each component and the classification of the related depreciation or amortization expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process for determining and reviewing the key inputs and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and allocating fair value to the various components. To test the allocation of the acquisition-date fair values, we evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methods used to allocate the purchase price. We performed procedures to assess the key data inputs and assumptions used by management described above, including the completeness and accuracy of the underlying information. We also used our specialists to assist us in evaluating the valuation methods used by management and whether the assumptions utilized were supported by observable market data. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2012. Los Angeles, California February 18, 2021 F-2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a), and our report dated February 18, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 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 annual 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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Los Angeles, California February 18, 2021 F-3 REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY, INC.

F-9 REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate principally located in Southern California infill markets, and from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. As of December 31, 2020, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 248 properties with approximately 31.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage an additional 20 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” as used in these financial statements refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and, unless the context requires otherwise, its subsidiaries (including our Operating Partnership). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Under consolidation guidance, we have determined that our Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity because the holders of limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Furthermore, we are the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership because we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Operating Partnership and the exclusive power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same, as the Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) including modifications issued under Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). Any reference to the number of properties, buildings and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent auditor’s audit of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments. Restricted Cash Restricted cash is comprised of escrow reserves that we are required to set aside for future costs as required by certain agreements with our lenders, and from time to time, includes cash proceeds from property sales that are being held by qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As of December 31, 2020, the restricted cash balance of $1.2 million was comprised of $1.2 million of net cash proceeds from the sale of one of our properties and $26 thousand of reserves for real estate taxes related to the property located at 960-970 Knox Street. As of December 31, 2019, we did not have a balance in restricted cash. Restricted cash balances are included with cash and cash equivalent balances as of the beginning and ending of each period presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning and end of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): F-10 Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period Investments in Real Estate Acquisitions Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 $ $ $ $ 78,857 $ — 78,857 $ 176,293 $ 1,230 177,523 $ 180,601 — 180,601 78,857 — 78,857 We account for acquisitions of properties under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations–Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses and further revises the definition of a business. Our acquisitions of properties generally do not meet the definition of a business and accordingly are accounted for as asset acquisitions. For asset acquisitions, we allocate the cost of the acquisition, which includes the purchase price and associated acquisition transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. These individual assets and liabilities typically include land, building and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities related to above- and below-market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, and from time to time, assumed mortgage debt. As there is no measurement period concept for an asset acquisition, the allocated cost of the acquired assets is finalized in the period in which the acquisition occurs. We determine the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions with respect to the assumptions a market participant would use. These Level 3 inputs include discount rates, capitalization rates, market rental rates and comparable sales data for similar properties. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. In determining the “as-if-vacant” value for the properties we acquired during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used discount rates ranging from 4.75% to 7.00% and exit capitalization rates ranging from 4.00% to 6.00%. In determining the fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities, we also consider Level 3 inputs. Acquired above- and below-market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rental rates and the in-place rental rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases, if applicable. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the estimated costs that would have been incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. We consider estimated costs such as the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period of time necessary to lease such a property to its occupancy level at the time of its acquisition. In determining the fair value of acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used an estimated average lease-up period ranging from six months to nine months. The difference between the fair value and the face value of debt assumed, if any, in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to “interest expense” over the life of the debt assumed. The valuation of assumed liabilities are based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of debt assumed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we used estimated market interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 3.75%. F-11 Capitalization of Costs We capitalize direct costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. This includes certain general and administrative costs, including payroll, bonus, and non-cash equity compensation of the personnel performing development, renovations and rehabilitation if such costs are identifiable to a specific activity to get the real estate asset ready for its intended use. During the development and construction periods of a project, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes and insurance costs. We cease capitalization of costs upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. If some portions of a project are substantially complete and ready for use and other portions have not yet reached that stage, we cease capitalizing costs on the completed portion of the project but continue to capitalize for the incomplete portion of the project. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. We capitalized interest costs of $3.9 million, $3.9 million and $2.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We capitalized real estate taxes and insurance aggregating $1.2 million, $1.3 million, and $0.9 million and during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We capitalized compensation costs for employees who provide construction services of $4.1 million, $2.7 million and $2.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization Real estate, including land, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible lease assets and liabilities are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value as discussed below in our policy with regard to impairment of long-lived assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful lives in order to record depreciation expense. The values allocated to buildings, site improvements, in-place lease intangibles and tenant improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated remaining life of 10-30 years for buildings, 5-20 years for site improvements, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or respective lease term for in- place lease intangibles and tenant improvements. As discussed above in—Investments in Real Estate—Acquisitions, in connection with property acquisitions, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an acquired lease intangible asset or liability and amortized to “rental income” over the remaining term of the related leases. Our estimate of the useful life of our assets is evaluated upon acquisition and when circumstances indicate that a change in the useful life has occurred, which requires significant judgment regarding the economic obsolescence of tangible and intangible assets. Assets Held for Sale We classify a property as held for sale when all of the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) have been met. The criteria are as follows: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. At the time we classify a property as held for sale, we cease recording depreciation and amortization. A property classified as held for sale is measured and reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less cost to sell. As of December 31, 2020, our property located at 14723-14825.25 Oxnard Street in Van Nuys, California was classified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2019, we did not have any properties classified as held for sale. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC 360, we assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To review real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The intent with regards to the underlying assets might change as market conditions and other factors change. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash F-12 flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan used to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property. Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with respect to our investment that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties. There were no impairment charges recorded to the carrying value of our properties during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 or 2018. Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To qualify as a REIT, we are required (among other things) to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our activities. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and were unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to regular federal corporate income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, we are subject to taxation by various state and local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside. Our non-taxable REIT subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from disregarded entities and flow-through entities such as partnerships is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective equity holders. Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. We periodically evaluate our tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we have not established a liability for uncertain tax positions. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ASC Topic 815: Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments. As required by ASC 815, we record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, and whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 7. Revenue Recognition Our primary sources of revenue are rental income, management, leasing and development services and gains on sale of real estate. F-13 Rental Income We lease industrial space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for minimum base rents plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Total minimum annual lease payments are recognized in rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, regardless of when payments are contractually due, when collectability is probable. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental income, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants. Our lease agreements with tenants generally contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse us for certain property expenses. Estimated reimbursements from tenants for these property expenses, which include real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses, are recognized as revenues in the period that the expenses are incurred. Subsequent to year-end, we perform final reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any cumulative annual adjustments. Management, leasing and development services We provide property management services and leasing services to related party and third-party property owners, the customer, in exchange for fees and commissions. Property management services include performing property inspections, monitoring repairs and maintenance, negotiating vendor contracts, maintaining tenant relations and providing financial and accounting oversight. For these services, we earn monthly management fees, which are based on a fixed percentage of each managed property’s monthly tenant cash receipts. We have determined that control over the services is passed to the customer simultaneously as performance occurs. Accordingly, management fee revenue is earned as the services are provided to our customers. Leasing commissions are earned when we provide leasing services that result in an executed lease with a tenant. We have determined that control over the services is transferred to the customer upon execution of each lease agreement. We earn leasing commissions based on a fixed percentage of rental income generated for each executed lease agreement and there is no variable income component. Gain or Loss on Sale of Real Estate We account for dispositions of real estate properties, which are considered nonfinancial assets, in accordance with ASC 610-20: Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets and recognize a gain or loss on sale of real estate upon transferring control of the nonfinancial asset to the purchaser, which is generally satisfied at the time of sale. If we were to conduct a partial sale of real estate by transferring a controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, while retaining a noncontrolling ownership interest, we would measure any noncontrolling interest received or retained at fair value, and recognize a full gain or loss. If we receive consideration before transferring control of a nonfinancial asset, we recognize a contract liability. If we transfer control of the asset before consideration is received, we recognize a contract asset. When leases contain purchase options, we assess the probability that the tenant will execute the purchase option both at lease commencement and at the time the tenant communicates its intent to exercise the purchase option. If we determine the exercise of the purchase option is likely, we will account for the lease as a sales-type lease and derecognize the associated real estate assets on our balance sheet and record a gain or loss on sale of real estate. Valuation of Operating Lease Receivables We may be subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables, including deferred rent receivables arising from the straight-line recognition of rental income, related to our operating leases. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. On a quarterly basis, we perform an assessment of the collectability of operating lease receivables on a tenant-by-tenant basis, which includes reviewing the age and nature of our receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, our assessment of the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations and the status of negotiations of any disputes with the tenant. During 2020, our assessment has specifically included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to tenants who have requested and/or received rent relief as further described below under “—COVID-19 Lease Concessions.” Any changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease is recognized as an adjustment, which can be a reduction or increase, to rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of our quarterly collectability assessments, we recognized $5.0 million, $0.7 million, and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 respectively, as a net reduction of rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. F-14 Leases On January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and the various lease-related ASUs that were subsequently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”), which together set out the principals for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and have applied the provisions as of January 1, 2019, on a prospective basis. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we elected the “package of practical expedients” which allowed us to not reassess (a) whether expired or existing contracts as of January 1, 2019, are or contain leases, (b) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of January 1, 2019, and (c) the treatment of initial direct costs relating to any existing leases as of January 1, 2019. The package of practical expedients was made as a single election and was consistently applied to all leases that commenced before January 1, 2019. Lessor ASC 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we elected the practical expedient permitting lessors to elect by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (for example, maintenance services, including common area maintenance) from associated lease components (the “non-separation practical expedient”) if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease component(s) are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. We have assessed the criteria above with respect to our operating leases and believe that they qualify for the non-separation practical expedient. As a result, we present all rental income earned pursuant to operating leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single line item “Rental income” in the consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented. Effective January 1, 2019, we record revenues and expenses on a gross basis for lessor costs (which include real estate taxes) when these costs are reimbursed to us by our tenants. Conversely, we record revenues and expenses on a net basis for lessor costs when they are paid by our tenants directly to the taxing authorities on our behalf. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, we recorded revenues and expenses on a gross basis for real estate taxes whether they were reimbursed to us by a tenant or paid directly by a tenant to the taxing authorities on our behalf. ASC 842 only allows lessors to capitalize the incremental direct costs of originating a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. As a result, deferred leasing costs will generally only include third-party broker commissions. Prior to January 1, 2019, under prior lease accounting guidance, we capitalized incremental direct costs, which included an allocation of internal compensation costs of employees who spent time on successful lease origination activities. Effective January 1, 2019, such costs are no longer capitalized as initial direct costs and are instead expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we capitalized compensation costs for leasing employees of $1.0 million. For leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, capitalized internal compensation costs will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the lease. For leases that were executed but had not commenced prior to January 1, 2019, we recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to “Cumulative distributions in excess of earnings” of $0.2 million to write off these capitalized internal compensation costs, as these costs were capitalized in accordance with prior lease accounting guidance and did not qualify for similar treatment under ASC 842. See Note 6 for additional lessor disclosures required under ASC 842. Lessee ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”), which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASC 842 also requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification is used to evaluate whether the lease expense should be recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Upon the adoption of ASC 842, we recognized lease liabilities of $3.6 million (in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities”) and related ROU assets of $3.3 million (in “Other assets”) on our consolidated balance sheets, based on the present value of lease payments for the remaining term of our existing leases. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019, are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon adoption of ASC F-15 842, we also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from associated lease components. See Note 6 for additional lessee disclosures required under ASC 842. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a reduction from the carrying value of the debt liability. This offset against the debt liability is treated similarly to a debt discount, which effectively reduces the proceeds of a borrowing. For line of credit arrangements, we present debt issuance costs as an asset and amortize the cost over the term of the line of credit arrangement. See Note 5. Equity Based Compensation We account for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. Total compensation cost for all share-based awards is based on the estimated fair market value on the grant date. For share-based awards that vest based solely on a service condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For share-based awards that vest based on a market condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. For share-based awards that vest based on a performance condition, we recognize compensation cost based on the number of awards that are expected to vest based on the probable outcome of the performance condition. Compensation cost for these awards will be adjusted to reflect the number of awards that ultimately vest. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. See Note 14. Equity Offering Costs Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our common stock issuances have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our preferred stock issuances have been reflected as a direct reduction of the preferred stock balance. Earnings Per Share We calculate earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 – Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing basic EPS pursuant to the two- class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic EPS computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities. We include unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP units in the computation of diluted EPS by using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method. We include unvested performance units as contingently issuable shares in the computation of diluted EPS once the market criteria are met, assuming that the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 15. Segment Reporting Management views the Company as a single reportable segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources. F-16 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Allowance for Credit Losses On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 introduced the “current expected credit losses” (CECL) model, which requires companies to estimate credit losses immediately upon exposure. The guidance applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost including net investments in leases arising from sales-type and direct financing leases, financing receivables (loans) and trade receivables. On November 26, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instrument - Credit Losses, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of ASC Topic 326 and instead should be accounted for under ASC 842. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2016-13. As we did not have any financial assets within the scope of ASU 2016-13 at the time of adoption, there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements. In the event that any of our leases were to be classified as sales-type or direct finance leases, or if we were to acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial properties in the future, we would become subject to the provisions of ASU 2016-13. During the year ended December 31, 2020, there was a lease modification that resulted in a lease being reclassified as a sales-type lease. Due to the short-term nature of the sales-type lease, there was no credit loss impact to our consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. COVID-19 Lease Concessions On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document (the “Q&A”) to address some frequently asked questions about accounting for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the Q&A permits an entity to elect to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of a lease contract, which is required by ASC 842, as long as the total rent payments after the lease concessions are substantially the same, or less than, the total rent payments in the existing lease. An entity may then elect to account for COVID-19 related lease concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract, or (ii) as a lease modification under ASC 842. Beginning in March 2020, we received rent relief requests from a number of tenants claiming impacts from COVID-19, many of whom may be making such rent relief requests in response to local California governmental moratoriums on commercial tenant evictions and provisions enabling commercial tenants to defer rent. In response to these requests, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we granted the following forms of rent relief to certain tenants: (a) application of security deposits to contractual base rent, (b) acceleration of future existing contractual rent concessions to cover contractual base rent and (c) deferral of contractual base rent with a typical deferral period of approximately one to two months and repayment beginning in the third or fourth quarter of 2020. The following table summarizes COVID-19 related rent relief provided to tenants during the year ended December 31, 2020: Year ended December 31, 2020 Security Deposits $ 4,578 $ Rent Relief Acceleration of Concessions Deferral of Base Rent 825 $ 4,570 In accordance with the Q&A, we have elected to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of our lease contracts and have elected to account for COVID-19 related lease concessions (which include the acceleration of future rent concessions in the original lease contract and the deferral of base rent) as lease modifications under ASC 842. As the COVID-19 related lease concessions that we provided to tenants generally did not substantially change the amount of consideration in the original lease contract (only the timing of rent payments has changed), to the extent amounts remain collectable, rental income recognized in each period over the term of the lease will not substantially change.

See footnote (5) below. Excludes the effect of unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized fair market value premiums and discounts. The interest rates on these loans are comprised of LIBOR plus a LIBOR margin. The LIBOR margins will range from 0.725% to 1.400% per annum for the unsecured revolving credit facility, 0.90% to 1.75% per annum for the $225.0 million term loan facility and 1.40% to 2.35% per annum for the $150.0 million term loan facility, depending on our investment grade rating, which may change from time to time. F-24 (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) The unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to an applicable facility fee which is calculated as a percentage of the total lenders’ commitment amount, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee ranges from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum depending upon our investment grade rating. Two additional six-month extensions are available at the borrower’s option, subject to certain terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2020, interest on the, $225.0 million term loan facility and $150 million term loan facility have been effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps. See Note 7 for details related to our interest rate swaps. Fixed monthly payments of interest and principal until maturity as follows: 2601-2641 Manhattan Beach Boulevard ($23,138), 960-970 Knox Street ($17,538), 7612-7642 Woodwind Drive ($24,270), 11600 Los Nietos ($22,637), 5160 Richton Street ($23,270), 22895 Eastpark Drive ($15,396), 13943- 13955 Balboa Boulevard ($79,198), 2410-2420 Santa Fe Avenue ($31,758), 11832-11954 La Cienega Boulevard ($20,194) and Gilbert/La Palma ($24,008).

Contractual Debt Maturities The following table summarizes the contractual debt maturities and scheduled amortization payments, excluding debt discounts and debt issuance costs, as of December 31, 2020, and does not consider extension options available to us as noted in the table above (in thousands): 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total Recent Activity Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility $ $ 1,609 2,054 289,687 13,270 100,833 816,041 1,223,494 On February 13, 2020, we amended our $450 million credit agreement, that was scheduled to mature on February 14, 2021, by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $600.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”) which was fully drawn under the prior credit agreement. The Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 13, 2024, and has two six-month extension options available. The $100 Million Term Loan Facility, which was scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022, was fully repaid without premium or penalty on November 16, 2020, and the repaid amount may not be reborrowed. Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $900.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver, additional term loan tranches or a combination of the foregoing. In October 2020 we received an investment grade rating of Baa3 from Moody’s Investors Services (“Moody’s) and an investment grade rating of BBB from Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), complementing our current BBB rating received from Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”). As a result of obtaining these ratings, effective October 29, 2020, we elected to convert the pricing structure under the Credit Agreement to be based on such ratings, whereas the pricing structure was previously based upon F-25 our leverage ratio. As such, as of December 31, 2020, interest on the Credit Agreement is based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our investment grade ratings or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our investment grade ratings. The margins for the Revolver range in amount from 0.725% to 1.40% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.45% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our investment grade ratings. At the time of repayment, the margins for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility ranged in amount from 0.85% to 1.65% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.65% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our investment grade ratings. In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our credit ratings, on each lender's commitment amount under the Revolver, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee ranges in amount from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum, depending on our investment grade rating. The Revolver may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable. On December 31, 2020, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, leaving $500.0 million available for future borrowings. Issuance of $400 Million Notes On November 16, 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million of 2.125% senior notes due 2030 (the “$400 Million Notes”). The $400 Million Notes were issued at 99.211% of the principal amount, with a coupon rate of 2.125%. Interest on the $400 Million Notes is payable semiannually on the first day of June and December in each year, beginning on June 1, 2021, until maturity on December 1, 2030. We may redeem the $400 Million Notes at our option and sole discretion, in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to September 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date of the $400 Million Notes), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the $400 Million Notes being redeemed; and (ii) a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after September 1, 2030 (three months prior to the maturity date of the $400 Million Notes), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the $400 Million Notes being redeemed. Repayment of $100 Million Term Loan Facility On November 16, 2020, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the $400 Million Notes to repay the $100 Million Term Loan Facility in full. We did not incur any prepayment penalties for repaying the $100 Million Term Loan Facility in advance of the maturity date of February 14, 2022. In connection with the repayment of the $100 Million Term Loan, we wrote-off $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs, which is included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Assumption of Mortgage Loans In connection with the acquisition of the Properties, on March 5, 2020, we assumed nine mortgage loans and on June 19, 2020, we assumed one additional mortgage loan, each secured by one of the Properties we acquired. At the date of acquisition, the assumed loans had an aggregate principal balance of $47.5 million and an aggregate fair value of $48.8 million, resulting in an aggregate initial net debt premium of $1.2 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at fixed interest rates ranging from 3.70% to 5.24% and have maturities ranging from 3.0 years to 8.3 years from the date assumed. On November 17, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of the property located at 13943-13955 Balboa Boulevard, we assumed a mortgage loan secured by this property. At the date of acquisition, the assumed loan had a principal balance of $15.7 million and a fair value of $16.5 million resulting in an initial net debt premium of $0.8 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.93%. Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) which provides for the private placement of $100.0 million of guaranteed senior notes, of which (i) $25.0 million are designated as 3.88% Series 2019A F-26 Guaranteed Senior Notes due July 16, 2029 (the "Series 2019A Notes") and (ii) $75.0 million are designated as 4.03% Series 2019B Guaranteed Senior Notes due July 16, 2034 (the "Series 2019B Notes" and, together with the Series 2019A Notes, the "Series 2019A and 2019B Notes"). On July 16, 2019, we completed the issuance of the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes. Interest on the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes are payable semiannually on the sixteenth day of January and July each year, beginning January 16, 2020, until maturity. We may prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes, in amounts not less than $2.5 million of the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes then outstanding at (i) 100% of the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the NPGA). Our obligations under the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. Debt Covenants The Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility, $150 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100.0 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”), our $125.0 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$125 Million Notes”) and the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis: • Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%; • For the Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility and $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%; • For the $100 Million Notes, $125 Million Notes and Series 2019A and 2019B Notes (together the “Senior Notes”), maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%; • For the Senior Notes, maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%; • For the Credit Agreement, $225 Million Term Loan Facility and $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $2,061,865,500, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2019; • For the Senior Notes, maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016; • Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.5 to 1.0; • Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and • Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.00.

Subject to the terms of the Senior Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the Senior Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Senior Notes agreement, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make- whole payment amount on the outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers. In addition, we are required to maintain at all times a credit rating on the Senior Notes from either S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. As noted above, in October 2020 we received an investment grade rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and an investment grade rating of BBB from S&P, complementing our current BBB rating from Fitch.

We were in compliance with all of our quarterly and annual debt covenants as of December 31, 2020. 6. Leases Lessor – Operating Leases We lease industrial space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for minimum base rents plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Total minimum lease payments are recognized in rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and estimated reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized in rental income in the period that the expenses are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $318.8 million of rental income related to operating lease payments of which $266.1 million was for fixed lease payments and $52.7 million was for variable lease payments. For the year ended December 31, 2019 we recognized $256.3 million of rental income related to operating lease payments of which $214.5 million was for fixed lease payments and $41.8 million was for variable lease payments. The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows for future minimum base rents to be received under operating leases as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands): For the year ending December 31, 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total $ $ 289,940 254,168 205,669 156,684 116,156 325,081 1,347,698 The future minimum base rents in the table above excludes tenant reimbursements of operating expenses, amortization of adjustments for deferred rent receivables and the amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles. Lessor – Sales-Type Lease In June 2020, we executed a five-year lease for a 58,802 rentable square foot unit at the property located at 2722 Fairview Street (“Fairview”). The lease contained an option whereby the tenant could purchase the entire 116,575 rentable square foot property at a purchase price of $20.4 million, by executing its purchase option on or before December 10, 2020. On September 9, 2020, the tenant exercised its option to purchase Fairview, which resulted in a change in lease classification from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. As a result of this change in classification, on September 9, 2020, we derecognized the net book value of the property, recorded a sales-type lease receivable of $20.3 million (measured as the discounted present value of the fixed purchase option price), and recognized a $3.8 million gain on sale due to lease reclassification. On September 30, 2020, the sale of Fairview closed and we collected the lease receivable and recorded $0.6 million of selling costs/write-offs, for a total net gain on sale of $3.3 million. The net proceeds from the sale of Fairview are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Lessee We lease office space as part of conducting our day-to-day business. As of December 31, 2020, our office space leases have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately six months to five years and some include options to renew. These F-28 renewal terms can extend the lease term from three to five years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. On May 28, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of 1055 Sandhill Avenue, we assumed a ground lease from the seller for a parcel of land that is adjacent to our property and is used as a parking lot. The ground lease, which expires on August 11, 2023, has a remaining lease term of approximately three years, with two additional ten-year options to renew, and monthly rent of $9,000 through expiration. As of December 31, 2020, total ROU assets and lease liabilities were approximately $5.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, total ROU assets and lease liabilities were approximately $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Swaps Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings. Derivative Instruments Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The change in fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The following table sets forth a summary of our interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands). We record all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets, and accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities.

The following table sets forth the impact of our interest rate swaps on our consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands): Interest Rate Swaps in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships: Amount of (loss) gain recognized in AOCI on derivatives Amount of (loss) gain reclassified from AOCI into earnings as “Interest expense” Total interest expense presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded (line item “Interest expense”) $ $ $ 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 (17,212) $ (6,332) $ (12,103) $ 2,038 $ 30,849 $ 26,875 $ 649 1,204 25,416 We had an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100.0 million and maturity date of August 14, 2021 (the “Swap”), that was used to hedge the monthly cash flows associated with $100 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt. In November 2020, in conjunction with the repayment of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, we paid $1.2 million to terminate the F-30 Swap, which had an unrealized loss balance of $1.2 million in AOCI at the time of termination. Beginning from the termination date of the Swap (November 12, 2020) through the original maturity date of the Swap (August 14, 2021), we are amortizing the loss on this transaction from AOCI into interest expense on a straight-line basis. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we amortized $0.2 million of the $1.2 million loss from AOCI into interest expense and we will amortize the remaining $1.0 million loss into interest expense through August 14, 2021. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $7.8 million (including the remaining $1.0 million loss noted above) will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings as an increase to interest expense. Credit-risk-related Contingent Features Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender within a specified time period, then we could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a merger or acquisition occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument. 8. Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Recurring Measurements – Interest Rate Swaps Currently, we use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2020, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, we have determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. F-31 The table below sets forth the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, which we measure on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands).

Related Party Transactions Howard Schwimmer We engage in transactions with Howard Schwimmer, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, earning management fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled individually by Mr. Schwimmer. Fees and commissions earned from these entities are included in “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations. We recorded $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in management, leasing and development services revenue. Purchase and Sale Agreement On November 30, 2017, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with 6110-6114 Cahuenga Avenue, LLC (the "Buyer"), which was subsequently amended on January 2, 2018, for the sale of our property located at 200-220 South Grand Avenue for a contract price of approximately $4.5 million. Larry Schwimmer is the general partner of the Buyer and father of Howard Schwimmer, our Co-Chief Executive Officer. Prior to entering into the Agreement, the relevant facts and circumstances relating to this transaction were presented to our audit committee, in accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, and to our board of directors. This transaction was unanimously approved by our audit committee in accordance with our corporate governance guidelines. On March 7, 2018, the sale of this property was completed. F-32 On March 7, 2018, we also entered into management agreements with the Buyer and Howard Schwimmer to provide property management and leasing services for the property. Fees and commissions earned from managing this property are included in “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations. 10. Commitments and Contingencies Legal From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Environmental We generally will perform environmental site assessments at properties we are considering acquiring. After the acquisition of such properties, we continue to monitor the properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions. If at the time of acquisition, losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability. As of December 31, 2020, we are not aware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot be sure that we have identified all environmental liabilities at our properties, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that such environmental liabilities arise. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that future changes to environmental laws or regulations and their application will not give rise to loss contingencies for future environmental remediation. Tenant and Construction Related Commitments As of December 31, 2020, we had commitments of approximately $40.2 million for tenant improvement and construction work under the terms of leases with certain of our tenants and contractual agreements with our construction vendors. Concentrations of Credit Risk We have deposited cash with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution. Although we have deposits at institutions in excess of federally insured limits as of December 31, 2020, we do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the institutions in which those deposits are held. Concentration of Properties in Southern California As of December 31, 2020, all of our properties are located in the Southern California infill markets. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate and other conditions, including the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization, and related state and local government reactions. All of our properties are concentrated in Southern California. The State of California and certain municipalities, including where we own properties, reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic early on by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that may continue as well as moratoriums on commercial tenant evictions and provisions enabling some commercial tenants to defer rent. We cannot predict when restrictions currently in place will expire, if additional restrictions will be added, or whether restrictions previously lifted will be reimplemented as infection rates fluctuate. Most municipalities in Southern California, including many municipalities in which we own properties have mandated a moratorium on all commercial evictions and have given tenants impacted by COVID-19 the unilateral right to defer rent while the emergency orders are in effect, with repayment generally within six to twelve months after the end of the local emergency. Only a small number of municipalities have allowed their local orders to expire or modified the orders to exclude some tenants (based on the tenant’s number of employees, being a publicly traded company or multinational company, or other characteristics), and in many of the local municipalities in which we operate, the eviction restrictions and rent deferment rights are set to expire by March 31, 2021, while in other municipalities the restrictions expire when the local emergency is lifted. We cannot currently predict whether or not these restrictions may be extended or for how long. Some of the orders have been extended multiple times. A number of our tenants F-33 have taken advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing deferral of rent, irrespective of certain such tenants’ actual ability to pay such rent, and we are currently unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our tenants or the number of tenants that will take advantage of the relief provided by the local government mandates authorizing the deferral of rent. Tenant Concentration During the year ended December 31, 2020, no single tenant accounted for more than 5% of our total consolidated rental income. 11.

Stockholders’ Equity Preferred Stock As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had the following series of Cumulative Preferred Shares (“Preferred Stock”) outstanding (dollars in thousands): Series Series A Series B Series C Total Preferred Shares Earliest Redemption Date Dividend Rate 5.875 % August 16, 2021 5.875 % November 13, 2022 5.625 % September 20, 2024 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Shares Outstanding Liquidation Preference Shares Outstanding Liquidation Preference 3,600,000 $ 3,000,000 3,450,000 10,050,000 $ 90,000 75,000 86,250 251,250 3,600,000 $ 3,000,000 3,450,000 10,050,000 $ 90,000 75,000 86,250 251,250 Dividends on our Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year. Our Preferred Stock has no stated maturity dates and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking funds. The holders of our Preferred Stock rank senior to the holders of our common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. The holders of our Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if we fail to pay dividends for six or more quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive). Upon the occurrence of a specified change of control transaction, we may, at our option, redeem each series of Preferred Stock in whole or in part within 120 days after the change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share in cash, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions through the date of redemption. If we do not exercise our right to redeem the Preferred Stock, upon the occurrence of a specified change of control transaction, the holders of our Preferred Stock have the right to convert some or all of their shares into a number of the Company’s common shares equivalent to $25.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days preceding the date of the change of control, but not to exceed a certain capped number of shares of common stock per share of Preferred Stock, subject to certain adjustments. F-35 Recent Activity In 2019, we issued 3,450,000 shares of our 5.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share for net proceeds of $83.2 million after deducting the underwriters’ discount and offering costs totaling $3.0 million. Common Stock Offerings During the second quarter of 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 7,187,500 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase 937,500 shares of our common stock, at a price to the underwriters of $39.67 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $285.0 million after deducting offering costs. We contributed the net proceeds of the offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 7,187,500 common units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. In December 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 6,900,000 shares of our common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of their option to purchase 900,000 shares of our common stock, at a price to the underwriters of $47.15 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $325.0 million, after deducting offering costs. We contributed the net proceeds of the offering to our Operating Partnership in exchange for 6,900,000 common units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. ATM Program On November 9, 2020, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$750 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $750.0 million of our common stock through sales agents or forward sellers. The $750 Million ATM Program replaces our previous $550.0 million at-the-market equity offering program which was established on June 13, 2019 (the “Prior ATM Program”). Under the Prior ATM Program, we had offered and sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of $296.5 million through November 9, 2020. In addition, we previously established a $450.0 million at-the-market equity offering program on February 19, 2019, a $400.0 million at-the-market equity offering program on June 13, 2018 and a $300.0 million at-the-market equity offering program on September 21, 2017. Substantially all available shares of common stock under each of these previous at-the-market programs were sold prior to establishing new programs. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold a total of 3,165,661 shares of our common stock under our various at-the-market equity offering programs, at a weighted average price of $39.96 per share, for gross proceeds of $126.5 million, and net proceeds of $124.7 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold a total of 16,817,930 shares of our common stock under our various at-the-market equity offering programs, at a weighted average price of $38.61 per share, for gross proceeds of $649.3 million, and net proceeds of $639.6 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold 18,177,242 shares of our common stock under our various at-the-market equity offering programs, at a weighted average price of $31.12 per share, for gross proceeds of $565.6 million, and net proceeds of $557.1 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. As of December 31, 2020, we had the capacity to issue up to an additional $720.7 million of common stock under the $750 Million ATM Program. Actual sales going forward, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us. F-36 Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The following table summarizes the changes in our AOCI balance for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which consists solely of adjustments related to our cash flow hedges: Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income - beginning balance Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense (1) Net current period other comprehensive loss Less: other comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests Other comprehensive loss attributable to common stockholders Accumulated other comprehensive loss - ending balance Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 (7,542) (17,212) 6,332 (10,880) 713 (10,167) (17,709) $ $ 6,262 (12,103) (2,038) (14,141) 337 (13,804) (7,542) $ $ (1) For the year ended December 31, 2020, amount includes a $0.2 million reclassification from AOCI into interest expense related to the Swap that was terminated in November 2020. See Note 7 for additional information. Dividends Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, may differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition and compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation expense. The following tables summarize the tax treatment of common stock dividends and preferred stock dividends per share for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Ordinary Income Return of Capital Capital Gain Total Ordinary Income Return of Capital Capital Gain Total Ordinary Income Return of Capital Capital Gain Total 2020 0.834238 — — 0.834238 2020 1.468752 — — 1.468752 2020 1.468752 — — 1.468752 $ $ $ $ $ $ Common Stock Year Ended December 31, 2019 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 0.783269 — — 0.783269 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 0.623496 0.001504 — 0.625000 Series A Preferred Stock Year Ended December 31, 2019 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 1.468752 — — 1.468752 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 1.468752 — — 1.468752 Series B Preferred Stock Year Ended December 31, 2019 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 1.468752 — — 1.468752 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 1.664585 — — 1.664585 2018 2018 2018 99.76 % 0.24 % — % 100.00 % 100.00 % — % — % 100.00 % 100.00 % — % — % 100.00 % F-37 Series C Preferred Stock Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 Ordinary Income Return of Capital Capital Gain Total $ $ 1.406252 — — 1.406252 100.00 % $ — % — % 100.00 % $ 0.394531 — — 0.394531 100.00 % — % — % 100.00 % 13. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests relate to interests in the Operating Partnership, represented by common units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), fully-vested LTIP units, fully-vested performance units and Series 1 CPOP Units and Series 2 CPOP Units, as described below, that are not owned by us. Operating Partnership Units As of December 31, 2020, noncontrolling interests included 5,403,881 OP Units and 1,202,812 fully-vested LTIP units and performance units which represented approximately 4.8% of our Operating Partnership. OP Units and shares of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. See Note 14 for a description of LTIP units and Performance Units. Activity As previously described in Note 3, on March 5, 2020, we acquired ten industrial properties and on June 19, 2020, we acquired one additional property, from a group of sellers that were not affiliated with the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $214.2 million. As partial consideration for the acquisition of the Properties, we issued the Sellers 1,406,170 OP Units, valued at $67.5 million. On November 17, 2020, we acquired the property located at 13943-13955 Balboa Boulevard for a purchase price of $45.3 million. As partial consideration for the property, we issued the seller 592,186 OP Units valued at $27.8 million. On December 31, 2020, we acquired a portfolio of four properties for an aggregate purchase price of $84.0 million. As consideration for the portfolio, we issued the seller 1,800,000 OP Units. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we redeemed 296,313, 96,060 and 67,175 OP Units, respectively, in exchange for issuing to the holders of the OP Units an equal number of shares of our common stock, resulting in the reclassification of $7.7 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, from noncontrolling interests to total stockholders’ equity. Preferred Units Series 2 CPOP Units On March 5, 2020, as partial consideration for the acquisition of the Properties, we issued the Sellers 906,374 newly issued 4.00% cumulative redeemable convertible preferred units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Series 2 CPOP Units”), valued at $40.8 million. Holders of Series 2 CPOP Units, when and as authorized by the Company as general partner of the Operating Partnership, are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 4.00% per annum of the $45.00 per unit liquidation preference, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on March 31, 2020. The holders of Series 2 CPOP Units are entitled to receive the liquidation preference, which is $45.00 per unit or approximately$40.8 million in the aggregate for all of the Series 2 CPOP Units, before the holders of OP Units are entitled to receive distributions in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Operating Partnership. F-38 Series 1 CPOP Units On April 10, 2019, we acquired the property located at 1515 East 15th Street for a purchase price of $28.1 million. In consideration for the property, we issued the seller 593,960 newly issued 4.43937% cumulative redeemable convertible preferred units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series 1 CPOP Units”), valued at $27.4 million, plus the payment of certain closing costs, including $0.7 million of closing costs typically attributable to the seller. Holders of Series 1 CPOP Units, when and as authorized by the Company as general partner of the Operating Partnership, are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 4.43937% per annum of the $45.50952 per unit liquidation preference, payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on June 28, 2019. The holders of Series 1 CPOP Units are entitled to receive the liquidation preference, which is $45.50952 per unit or approximately $27.0 million in the aggregate for all of the Series 1 CPOP Units, before the holders of OP Units in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Operating Partnership. Features of Series 1 and Series 2 CPOP Units The Series 1 CPOP Units and the Series 2 CPOP Units (together, the “CPOP Units”) are convertible (i) at the option of the holder anytime from time to time (the “Holder Conversion Right”), or (ii) at the option of the Operating Partnership, at any time on or after April 10, 2024 for the Series 1 CPOP Unit, or at any time on or after March 5, 2025, for the Series 2 CPOP Unit (the “Company Conversion Right”), in each case, into OP Units on a one-for-one basis per Series 1 CPOP Unit, and into 0.7722 OP Units per Series 2 CPOP Unit. As noted above, investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Subsequent Redemption Right”). The CPOP Units rank senior to the Operating Partnership’s OP Units, on parity with the Operating Partnership’s 5.875% series A and series B cumulative redeemable preferred units and 5.625% series C cumulative redeemable preferred units and with any future class or series of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership expressly designated as ranking on parity with the CPOP Units, and junior to any other class or series of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership expressly designated as ranking senior to the CPOP Units. Pursuant to relevant accounting guidance, we analyzed the CPOP Units for any embedded derivatives that should be bifurcated and accounted for separately and also considered the conditions that would require classification of the CPOP Units in temporary equity versus permanent equity. In carrying out our analyses, we evaluated the key features of the CPOP Units including the right to discretionary distributions, the Holder Conversion Right, the Company Conversion Right and the Subsequent Redemption Right to determine whether we control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the share settlement if the CPOP Units are converted into shares of our common stock (subsequent to conversion into OP Units). Based on the results of our analyses, we concluded that (i) none of the embedded features of the CPOP Units require bifurcation and separate accounting, and (ii) the CPOP Units met the criteria to be classified within equity, and accordingly are presented as noncontrolling interests within permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. 14. Incentive Award Plan Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan We maintain one share-based incentive compensation plan, the Amended and Restated Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which, we may make grants of restricted stock, LTIP units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“LTIP units”), performance units in our Operating Partnership (“Performance Units”), dividend equivalents and other stock based and cash awards to our non- employee directors, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by our board of directors with respect to awards to non-employee directors and by our compensation committee with respect to other participants, each of which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of our directors and/or officers (collectively the “plan administrator”), subject to certain limitations. The plan administrator sets the terms and conditions of all awards under the Plan, including any vesting and vesting acceleration conditions. F-39 As of December 31, 2020, a total of 619,757 shares of common stock, LTIP units, Performance Units and other stock based awards remain available for issuance under the Plan. Shares and units granted under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or units, or, if authorized by the board of directors, shares purchased in the open market. If an award under the Plan is forfeited, expires, or is settled for cash, any shares or units subject to such award will generally be available for future awards. LTIP Units and Performance Units LTIP units and Performance Units are each a class of limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP units and Performance Units do not have full parity with OP Units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, upon the occurrence of certain events more fully described in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement (“book-up events”), the LTIP units and Performance Units can over time achieve full parity with OP Units for all purposes. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units and vested Performance Units may be converted into an equal number of OP Units, and, upon conversion, enjoy all rights of OP Units. LTIP units, whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as OP Units, which equal the per-share distributions on shares of our common stock. Performance Units that have not vested receive a quarterly per-unit distribution equal to 10% of the per-unit distribution paid on OP Units. The compensation committee grants awards to the Company’s named executive officers (the “NEOs”) on an annual basis in the form of LTIP units and Performance units, typically in December of each year. In December of 2020, 2019 and 2018, the compensation committee granted the NEOs a combined 121,112, 120,243, and 132,875 LTIP units that are subject to time-based vesting conditions (each an annual “LTIP Award”) and a combined 476,915, 294,994, and 204,517 Performance Units that are partially subject to market-based vesting conditions and partially subject to performance-based vesting conditions (each an annual “Performance Award”). 2020, 2019, and 2018 LTIP Unit Awards Each of the 2020, 2019 and 2018 LTIP Awards are scheduled to vest one-third in equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Each award is subject to each executive’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date, and subject to earlier vesting upon certain termination of employment or a change in control event, as described in the award agreements. Compensation expense is recognized using the accelerated expense attribution method, with each vesting tranche valued as a separate award. The total grant date fair value of each annual LTIP award is based on the Company’s most recent closing stock price preceding the grant and the application of a discount for post-vesting restrictions and uncertainty regarding the occurrence and timing of book-up events. The following table summarizes these fair valuation assumptions and the grant date fair value of each annual LTIP award: Valuation date Closing share price of common stock Discount for post-vesting restrictions and book-up events Grant date fair value (in thousands) 2020 LTIP Award 2019 LTIP Award 2018 LTIP Award December 22, 2020 December 16, 2019 December 15, 2018 $ $ 48.58 7.6 % 5,437 $ $ 45.74 6.4 % 5,148 $ $ 31.42 7.7 % 3,853 The following table sets forth our unvested LTIP Unit activity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: F-40 Balance at December 31, 2017 Granted Vested Balance at December 31, 2018 Granted Vested Balance at December 31, 2019 Granted Forfeited Vested Balance at December 31, 2020 Number of Unvested LTIP Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit 293,485 $ 190,318 $ (156,755) $ 327,048 $ 179,758 $ (208,394) $ 298,412 $ 157,404 $ (22,795) $ (196,375) $ 236,646 $ 23.10 28.43 23.29 26.12 39.67 26.14 34.26 45.86 38.89 34.31 41.49 2020, 2019, and 2018 Performance Unit Awards Each of the 2020, 2019 and 2018 Performance Awards are comprised of a number of units designated as base units and a number of units designated as distribution equivalents, which are further described below: • • • • Absolute TSR Base Units - base units that will vest based on varying levels of the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three -year performance period of an award. TSR is measured as the appreciation in the price per share of a company’s common stock plus dividends paid during the three-year performance period, assuming the reinvestment in common stock of all dividends paid during the performance period. Relative TSR Base Units - base units that will vest based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the TSR percentage of a selected peer group of companies over the three-year performance period. FFO Per-Share Base Units - base units that will vest based on the Company’s FFO per share growth over the three-year performance period. Distribution Equivalent Units - Performance Units that have not vested will receive 10% of the distributions paid on OP units. The remaining 90% of the distributions will accrue (assuming the reinvestment in common stock of these distributions) during the three-year performance period and a portion will be paid out as distribution equivalent units based upon the number of base units that ultimately vest. The following table summarizes the total number of base units and distribution equivalent units awarded to the executives for each of the Performance Awards: Absolute TSR Base Units (1) Relative TSR Base Units (1) FFO Per-Share Base Units (1) Distribution Equivalent Units Total Performance Units 2020 Performance Award 2019 Performance Award 2018 Performance Award (2) (2) 148,030 118,339 63,473 148,030 74,033 63,473 148,027 85,898 63,471 32,828 16,724 14,100 476,915 294,994 204,517 (1) For each Performance Award, a number of the base units are designated as Absolute TSR Base Units and Relative TSR Base Units (combined, a “Market Performance Award”) and a number of units are designated as FFO Per-Share Base Units (each an “FFO Per-Share Award”). (2) On December 31, 2020, 41,094 Performance Units initially granted in December 2019 and 29,600 Performance Units initially granted in December 2018 were canceled due to the termination of employment of our former Chief Financial Officer. The following table summarizes the performance levels and vesting percentages for the Absolute TSR Base Units, Relative TSR Base Units and FFO Per-Share Base Units, and the three-year performance period for each of the Performance Unit awards: F-41 Absolute TSR Base Units Relative TSR Base Units FFO Per-Share Base Units Performance Level Company TSR Percentage Absolute TSR Vesting Percentage Peer Group Relative Performance Relative TSR Vesting Percentage FFO per Share Growth FFO Vesting Percentage Three-Year Performance Period 2020 Award “Threshold Level” “Target Level” “ High Level” “Maximum Level” 2019 Award “Threshold Level” “Target Level” “Maximum Level” 2018 Award “Threshold Level” “Target Level” “Maximum Level” < 18% 18 % 24 % 30 % ≥ 40% < 18% 18 % 24 % ≥ 30% < 18% 18 % 24 % ≥ 30% — % 16.7 % 33.4 % 66.7 % 100 % < 35th Percentile 35th Percentile 55th Percentile 75th Percentile ≥ 90th Percentile — % < 35th Percentile 25 % 35th Percentile 50 % 55th Percentile 100 % ≥ 75th Percentile — % < 35th Percentile 25 % 35th Percentile 60 % 55th Percentile 100 % ≥ 75th Percentile — % 16.7 % 33.4 % 66.7 % 100 % — % 25 % 50 % 100 % — % 25 % 60 % 100 % < 12% 12 % 16.5 % 21 % ≥26% < 12% 12 % 16.5 % ≥ 21% < 12% 12 % 16.5 % ≥ 21% — % 16.7 % 33.4 % 66.7 % 100 % — % 25 % 50 % 100 % — % 25 % 60 % 100 % See Note (1) Jan 1, 2020 to Dec 31, 2022 Jan 1, 2019 to Dec 31, 2021 (1) The performance period for the 2020 Market Performance Award is December 22, 2020 through December 21, 2023, and the performance period for the 2020 FFO Per-Share Award is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. If the Company’s TSR percentage, peer group relative performance or FFO per share growth falls between the levels specified in the tables above, the percentage of Absolute TSR Base Units, Relative TSR Base Units and FFO Per-Share Base Units that vest will be determined using straight-line interpolation between such levels. Fair Value of Awards With Market-Based Vesting Conditions The grant date fair value of each of the 2020, 2019 and 2018 Market Performance Awards is based on the sum of the following: (1) the present value of the expected payoff to the vested absolute and relative base units, (2) the present value of the 10% portion of the distribution expected to be paid during the three-year performance period, and (3) the present value of the distribution equivalent units expected to be awarded at the end of the three-year performance period. The grant date fair value of each of these awards was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model, which uses 100,000 trial simulations, to estimate the probability that the market conditions, TSR on both an absolute and relative basis, will be achieved over the three-year performance period. The following table summarizes the assumptions we used in the Monte Carlo simulations and the grant date fair value of the awards with market-based vesting conditions. Valuation date Expected share price volatility for the Company Expected share price volatility for peer group companies - low end of range Expected share price volatility for peer group companies - high end of range Expected dividend yield Risk-free interest rate Grant date fair value (in thousands) (1) (1) 2020 Market Performance Award December 22, 2020 31.0 % 17.0 % 100.0 % 1.90 % 0.19 % $ 6,928 2019 Market Performance Award December 16, 2019 18.0 % 12.0 % 100.0 % 1.90 % 1.74 % 3,922 $ 2018 Market Performance Award December 15, 2018 20.0 % 16.0 % 100.0 % 2.50 % 2.80 % 2,090 $ (1) For the 2020 Market Performance Award, the median and average expected share price volatilities for the peer group companies are 45.0% and 47.4%, respectively. For the 2019 Market Performance Award, the median and average expected share price volatilities for the peer group companies are 21.0% and 24.4%, respectively. For the 2018 Market Performance Award, the median and average expected share price volatilities for the peer group companies are 23.0% and 27.1%, respectively. F-42 The expected share price volatilities are based on a mix of the historical and implied volatilities of the Company and the peer group companies. The expected dividend yield is based on our average historical dividend yield and our dividend yield as of the valuation date for each award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury note yields matching the three-year time period of the performance period. Compensation cost for the awards with market-based vesting conditions is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, regardless of whether the TSR performance levels are achieved and any awards ultimately vest. Compensation expense will only be reversed if the holder of an award with market-based vesting conditions forfeits the award by leaving the employment of the Company prior to vesting. Fair Value of Awards with Performance-Based Vesting Conditions The grant date fair value of the 2020 FFO Per-Share Award is $2.4 million, which is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date ($48.58 on December 22, 2020) and the achievement of FFO per-share performance at the target level. The grant date fair value of the 2019 FFO Per-Share Award is $2.0 million, which is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date ($45.74 on December 16, 2019) and the achievement of FFO per-share performance at the target level. The grant date fair value of the 2018 FFO Per-Share Award is $2.0 million, which is based on the Company’s closing stock price preceding the grant date ($31.42 on December 14, 2018) and the achievement of FFO per-share performance at the maximum level. Compensation cost for the 2020, 2019 and 2018 FFO Per-Share Awards will reflect the number of units that are expected to vest based on the probable outcome of the performance condition and will be adjusted to reflect those units that ultimately vest at the end of the three-year performance period. 2017, 2016 and 2015 Performance Award Vestings On December 14, 2020, the three-year performance period for the 2017 performance award ended and it was determined that both the Company’s TSR percentage and peer group relative performance exceeded the maximum level. Based on these results, the compensation committee certified that 184,502 Performance Units were earned and vested. On December 28, 2019, the three-year performance period for the 2016 performance award ended and it was determined that both the Company’s TSR percentage and peer group relative performance exceeded the maximum level. Based on these results, the compensation committee certified that 195,628 Performance Units were earned and vested. On December 14, 2018, the three-year performance period for the 2015 performance award ended and it was determined that both the Company’s TSR percentage and peer group relative performance exceeded the maximum level. Based on these results, the compensation committee certified that 307,986 vested Performance Units were earned and vested. Restricted Common Stock The compensation committee has periodically awarded grants of restricted common stock to various employees of the Company typically other than NEOs, for the purpose of attracting or retaining the services of these key individuals. These grants typically vest in four equal, annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the employee’s continued service. Shares of our restricted common stock are participating securities and have full voting rights and nonforfeitable rights to dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we granted 107,648 shares of restricted common stock to non-executive employees. The grant date fair value of these awards was $5.0 million based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which ranged from $39.71 to $50.18 per share. On September 1, 2020, we granted Ms. Laura Clark 3,497 shares of restricted common stock as a sign-on incentive award, which vests in three equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries. The grant date fair value of this award was approximately $167,000 based on the Company’s closing share price of $47.65 on the date of grant. In accordance with the Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, each year on the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, we grant shares of restricted common stock to each of our non-employee directors who are re-elected for another year of service. These awards vest on the earlier of (i) the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders next following the grant date and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to each non-employee director’s continued service. During the year ended December 31, 2020, each of our non-employee directors were granted 2,507 shares of restricted common stock with a grant date fair value of $100,000 based on the $39.88 closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. F-43 The following table sets forth our unvested restricted stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Number of Unvested Shares of Restricted Common Stock Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Balance at December 31, 2017 Granted Forfeited Vested (1)(2) Balance at December 31, 2018 Granted Forfeited Vested (1)(2) Balance at December 31, 2019 Granted Forfeited Vested (1)(2) Balance at December 31, 2020 190,695 $ 104,560 $ (13,031) $ (81,826) $ 200,398 $ 110,711 $ (17,287) $ (81,277) $ 212,545 $ 126,865 $ (16,128) $ (90,383) $ 232,899 $ 20.13 27.72 23.51 19.40 20.13 34.85 29.71 23.23 29.64 45.94 37.25 28.50 38.43 (1) The total fair value of vested shares, which is calculated as the number of shares vested multiplied by the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date, was $4.1 million, $2.9 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. (2) Total shares vested include 27,473, 24,618 and 21,324 shares of common stock that were tendered by employees during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements associated with the vesting of restricted shares of common stock. Share-Based Compensation Expense The following table sets forth the amounts expensed and capitalized for all share-based awards for the reported periods presented below (in thousands): Expensed share-based compensation Capitalized share-based compensation (1) (2) Total share-based compensation 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 $ $ 12,871 $ 223 13,094 $ 10,756 $ 174 10,930 $ 10,147 255 10,402 (1) (2) Amounts expensed are included in “General and administrative” and “Property expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, amounts capitalized only relate to employees who provide construction services and are included in “Building and improvements” in the consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2018, amounts capitalized relate to employees who provide construction or leasing services and are included in “Building and improvements” and “Deferred leasing costs, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. In August 2020, the compensation committee chose to provide Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2020 annual bonuses partly in cash and partly in LTIP units. Accordingly, on January 27, 2021, at the same time that annual bonuses were paid to executives, Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel were each granted 15,288 LTIP Units that were fully vested on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2020, includes $1.5 million for the portion of Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2020 accrued bonus that was settled with these fully-vested LTIP Units. In April 2019, the compensation committee chose to provide Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2019 annual bonuses partly in cash and partly in LTIP units. Accordingly, on February 4, 2020, at the same time that annual bonuses were paid to executives, Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel were each granted 18,146 LTIP Units that were fully vested on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, includes $1.8 million for the portion of Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2019 accrued bonus that was settled with these fully-vested LTIP Units. F-44 In May 2018, the compensation committee chose to provide Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2018 annual bonuses partly in cash and partly in LTIP units. Accordingly, on February 15, 2019, at the same time that annual bonuses were paid to the executives, Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel were each granted 24,641 LTIP Units that were fully vested on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, includes $1.7 million for the portion of Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2018 accrued bonus that was settled with these fully-vested LTIP Units. In February 2018, the compensation committee chose to provide Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2017 annual bonuses partly in cash and partly in LTIP units. Accordingly, on February 21, 2018, at the same time that annual bonuses were paid to the executives, Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel were each granted 22,517 LTIP units that were fully vested on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, includes $1.2 million for the portion of Messrs. Schwimmer and Frankel’s 2017 accrued bonus that was settled with these fully-vested LTIP Units. As of December 31, 2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to all unvested share-based awards was $27.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 29 months. 15. Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): Numerator: Net income Less: Preferred stock dividends Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests Less: Net income attributable to participating securities Net income attributable to common stockholders Denominator: Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - basic Effect of dilutive securities - performance units Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding - diluted Earnings per share - Basic Net income attributable to common stockholders Earnings per share - Diluted Net income attributable to common stockholders 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 80,895 $ (14,545) (4,492) (509) 61,349 $ 64,001 $ (11,055) (2,022) (447) 50,477 $ 47,075 (9,694) (865) (378) 36,138 120,873,624 304,686 121,178,310 106,407,283 391,765 106,799,048 86,824,235 511,514 87,335,749 0.51 $ 0.51 $ 0.47 $ 0.47 $ 0.42 0.41 $ $ $ $ Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are accounted for as participating securities. As such, unvested shares of restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units and unvested Performance Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and each participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities are also included in the computation of diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method for unvested shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units, and by determining if certain market conditions have been met at the reporting date for unvested Performance Units. The effect of including unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP Units using the treasury stock method was excluded from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Performance Units, which are subject to vesting based on the Company achieving certain TSR levels over a three-year performance period, are included as contingently issuable shares in the calculation of diluted EPS when TSR has been achieved at or above the threshold levels specified in the award agreements, assuming the reporting period is the end of the performance period, and the effect is dilutive. F-45 We also consider the effect of other potentially dilutive securities, including the CPOP Units and OP Units, which may be redeemed for shares of our common stock under certain circumstances, and include them in our computation of diluted EPS when their inclusion is dilutive. These units were not dilutive for the periods presented above. 16.

F-57 (1) Costs capitalized subsequent to acquisition are net of the write-off of fully depreciated assets and include construction in progress. (2) During 2009, we recorded impairment charges totaling $19.6 million in continuing operations (of which $9.5 million relates to properties still owned by us) to write down our investments in real estate to fair value. Of the $9.5 million, $4.2 million is included as a reduction of “Land” in the table above, with the remaining $5.3 million included as a reduction of “Buildings and Improvements”. (3) The depreciable life for buildings and improvements ranges from 10-30 years for buildings, 5-20 years for site improvements, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or respective lease term for tenant improvements. (4) These six properties secure a term loan that had a balance of $58.5 million as of December 31, 2020. (5) Safari Business Park consists of 16 buildings with the following addresses: 1845, 1885, 1901-1957 and 2037-2077 Vineyard Avenue; 1906-1946 and 2048- 2058 Cedar Street; 1900-1956, 1901-1907, 1911-1951, 2010-2020 and 2030-2071 Lynx Place; 1810, 1840-1898, 1910-1960 and 2030-2050 Carlos Avenue; 2010-2057 and 2060-2084 Francis Street.

Prior to the acquisition, we leased the parcel of land from the seller under a long-term ground lease. The $0.1 million adjustment to the carrying value of the land is the difference between the purchase price of the land parcel and the carrying amount of the ground lease liability immediately before the acquisition.

(b) Without the consent of the Administrator (which it may give or withhold in its sole discretion), the Participant shall not sell, pledge, assign, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any unvested LTIP Units or any portion of the Award attributable to such unvested LTIP Units (or any securities into which such unvested LTIP Units are converted or exchanged), other than by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution (the “Transfer Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Transfer Restrictions shall not apply to any Transfer of unvested LTIP Units or of the Award to the Partnership or the Company. (c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein or in the Partnership Agreement (including Section 15.1 therein), a Participant that exercises its redemption rights in Section 15.1 of the Partnership Agreement with respect to its OPP Units or Partnership Common Units received upon a conversion of its OPP Units (the “Applicable Units”) must provide the Partnership notice of such redemption at least 60 days prior to the date of redemption and the Cash Amount and REIT Share Amount (each as defined in the Partnership Agreement) shall be established as of the redemption date, unless, in each case, the number of Applicable Units (as defined below) to be redeemed by the Participant pursuant to Section 15.1 of the Partnership Agreement qualifies as a “block transfer” under Treas. Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e)(2) (as determined by the General Partner). To that end (and notwithstanding the definitions contained in the Partnership Agreement), for all purposes of the Partnership Agreement: each of (x) “Specified Redemption Date” and (y) “Valuation Date” shall mean the sixty-first (61st) calendar day after receipt by the General Partner of a Notice of Redemption; provided that if such date is not a Business Day (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), then each of the foregoing terms shall mean the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, the Partnership shall have no obligation to redeem any Applicable Units if all redemptions exercised by Limited Partners for such taxable year exceed ten percent (10%) of the total interests in Partnership’s capital or profits for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (as determined by the General Partner). The Participant shall have the right to rescind the Notice of Redemption at any time prior to the date the Applicable Units have been redeemed; provided, however, that the sixty (60) day period shall restart upon the submission of any Notice of Redemption that is delivered after any such rescission. Without limitation of the foregoing, all redemptions of OPP Units and/or Partnership Common Units shall be subject to the applicable terms of the Company’s Insider Trading Compliance Program, as in effect from time to time, and may be delayed by the General Partner in order to comply therewith or with applicable securities laws. 4. Vesting. (a) Time Vesting. Subject to Sections 4(b) and 5 hereof, the Restrictions shall lapse and the LTIP Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to one-third (1/3) of the LTIP Units on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the Participant’s continued status as an Employee through the applicable vesting date. (b) Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change in Control occurs and the Participant remains in continuous employment with the Company (or its affiliates) until immediately prior to such Change in Control, then the Restrictions shall lapse and the LTIP Units shall vest in full and become nonforfeitable immediately prior to such Change in Control. 5. Effect of Termination of Service. (a) Termination of Service. Subject to Section 5(b) hereof, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, any and all LTIP Units that have not vested as of the date of such Termination of Service (after taking into account any accelerated vesting that occurs in connection with such termination) shall automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right to or interest in such LTIP Units. No LTIP Units which have not vested as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested. (b) Qualifying Termination. In the event that the Participant incurs a Qualifying Termination, subject to the Participant’s timely execution and non-revocation of a Release (as provided in the Employment Agreement), then the Restrictions shall lapse and the LTIP Units shall vest in full as of immediately prior to such Qualifying Termination (and the LTIP Units shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest pending the effectiveness of the Release). 6. Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the unvested LTIP Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the unvested LTIP Units, and/or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such unvested LTIP Units and portion of the Award to the Partnership. 7.

The Partnership has made no agreements, covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register the transfer of the LTIP Units under the Securities Act. The Partnership has made no representations, warranties, or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, shall be available.

Participant hereby recognizes that the Internal Revenue Service has proposed regulations under Sections 83 and 704 of the Code that may affect the proper treatment of the LTIP Units for federal income tax purposes. In the event that those proposed regulations are finalized, the Participant hereby agrees to cooperate with the Partnership in amending this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, and to take such other action as may be required, to conform to such regulations. Participant hereby further recognizes that the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would change the federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of LTIP Units. The Participant is advised to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to such tax consequences and his or her ownership of the LTIP Units. 8. Capital Account. The Participant shall make no contribution of capital to the Partnership in connection with the Award and, as a result, the Participant’s Capital Account balance in the Partnership immediately after its receipt of the LTIP Units shall be equal to zero, unless the Participant was a Partner in the Partnership prior to such issuance, in which case the Participant’s Capital Account balance shall not be increased as a result of its receipt of the LTIP Units. 9. Section 83(b) Election. The Participant covenants that the Participant shall make a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code (and any comparable election in the state of the Participant’s residence) with respect to the LTIP Units covered by the Award, and the Partnership hereby consents to the making of such election(s). In connection with such election, the Participant and the Participant’s spouse, if applicable, shall promptly provide a copy of such election to the Partnership.

The Participant should consult his or her tax advisor to determine if there is a comparable election to file in the state of his or her residence. 10. Ownership Information. The Participant hereby covenants that so long as the Participant holds any LTIP Units, at the request of the Partnership, the Participant shall disclose to the Partnership in writing such information relating to the Participant’s ownership of the LTIP Units as the Partnership reasonably believes to be necessary or desirable to ascertain in order to comply with the Code or the requirements of any other appropriate taxing authority. 11. Taxes. The Partnership and the Participant intend that (a) the LTIP Units be treated as a “profits interest” as defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 93-27, as clarified by Revenue Procedure 2001-43, (b) the issuance of such units not be a taxable event to the Partnership or the Participant as provided in such revenue procedure, and (c) the Partnership Agreement, the Plan and this Agreement be interpreted consistently with such intent. In furtherance of such intent, effective immediately prior to the issuance of the LTIP Units, the Partnership may revalue all Partnership assets to their respective gross fair market values, and make the resulting adjustments to the “Capital Accounts” (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the partners, in each case as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

Any OPP Units granted hereby which do not become Performance Vested Units as of the completion of the Performance Period (subject to determination within 45 days thereafter) shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right to or interest in such OPP Units.

(iii) Any OPP Units that do not become fully vested in accordance with either Section 4(b)(i) or (ii) shall, effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, automatically be cancelled and forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right to or interest in such OPP Units. 5. Effect of Termination of Service. (a) Termination of Service. Subject to Section 5(b) hereof, in the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, any and all Unvested Units as of the date of such Termination of Service shall automatically and without further action be cancelled and forfeited without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right to or interest in such Unvested Units. Except as set forth in Section 5(b) hereof, no Unvested Units and no portion of the Award attributable to Unvested Units as of the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested. (b) Qualifying Termination. In the event that the Participant incurs a Qualifying Termination prior to the completion of the Performance Period, the OPP Units granted hereby shall remain outstanding and eligible to become Performance Vested Units in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) (as applicable) hereof. In such event, following the completion of the Performance Period, the Restrictions shall lapse with respect to a number of OPP Units equal to the sum of (i) the number of OPP Units that become Performance Vested Base Units in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) hereof (if any), as applicable, as of the completion of the Performance Period, plus (ii) the Distribution Equivalent Units (calculated with respect to such Performance Vested Units), and such OPP Units shall thereupon become fully vested. Any OPP Units (including any Performance Vested Units) that do not become fully vested in accordance with the preceding sentence shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited as of the completion of the Performance Period without payment of any consideration therefor, and the Participant shall have no further right or interest in or with respect to such OPP Units. 6. Execution and Return of Documents and Certificates. At the Company’s or the Partnership’s request, the Participant hereby agrees to promptly execute, deliver and return to the Partnership any and all documents or certificates that the Company or the Partnership deems necessary or desirable to effectuate the cancellation and forfeiture of the Unvested Units and the portion of the Award attributable to the Unvested Units, and/or to effectuate the transfer or surrender of such Unvested Units and portion of the Award to the Partnership. 7.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all determinations, interpretations and assumptions relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, determinations, interpretations and assumptions with respect to Company Core FFO Growth Percentage, Company TSR Percentage and/or Peer Group TSR Percentage and the vesting and earning of OPP Units) shall be made by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons, and the Administrator, the Board, the Company, the Partnership and their officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith and absent manifest error shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. In addition, the Administrator, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the methodology for calculations relating to the vesting of the Award (including, without limitation, the methodology for calculating Company Core FFO Growth Percentage, Company TSR Percentage and Peer Group TSR Percentages), other than the Core FFO Per-Share Vesting Percentage, Absolute TSR Performance Vesting Percentage and Relative TSR Performance Vesting Percentage, as necessary or desirable to account for events affecting the value of the Common Stock which, in the discretion of the Administrator, are not considered indicative of Company performance, which may include events such as the issuance of new Common Stock, stock repurchases, stock splits, issuances and/or exercises of stock grants or stock options, and similar events, all in order to properly reflect the Company’s intent with respect to the performance objectives underlying the Award or to prevent unjust dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available with respect to the Award. 8.
