Common Shares Detail

 

Class ER Common Shares

 

On May 30, 2024, the Company classified and designated a new class of common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share of the Company designated as Class ER Common Shares. Each Class ER Common Shareholder will have the right, upon the seventh anniversary of the closing date of a shareholder’s purchase of Class ER Common Shares (subject to three one-year extensions in the Trustee’s discretion), to require the Company to redeem the Class ER Common Shares, in whole or in part, held by such shareholder, as well as the right to convert such Class ER Common Shares to Class I Common Shares on a 1:1 basis. The Class ER Common Shares have no other redemption rights and are not eligible for repurchase or redemption under the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

The Class ER Common Shares are subject to the optional conversion rights of the Company. In this regard, from and after the fifth anniversary of the closing date of a Class ER Common Shareholder’s purchase of Class ER Common Shares, the Trustee, on behalf of the Company, will have the right to cause each Class ER Common Shareholder, without any action on the part of the shareholder, to convert any or all of such holder’s Class ER Common Shares into an equal number of Class I Common Shares, on a 1:1 basis. Otherwise, the Class ER Common Shares have the same preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions as the Class A Common Shares, Class I Common Shares, and Class S Common Shares.

 

Class I, Class A, and Class S Common Shares

 

The Company’s other common shares consist of Class I Common Shares, Class A Common Shares, and Class S Common Shares. The Class I, Class A, and Class S Common Shares have identical rights and privileges, including identical voting rights, but have different upfront selling commissions and related fees. Each Class A Common Share and each Class S Common Share shall automatically and without any action on the part of the shareholder thereof convert into the same number of Class I Common Shares upon a listing of any class of common shares on any securities exchange pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, or any merger, consolidation, transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or other business combination of the Company, as a result of which all outstanding common shares are canceled in exchange for the right to receive cash or securities, or a combination thereof.

 

Private Offering

 

The Company is currently conducting a private placement offering on a continuous basis of up to $2.165 billion of Class I Common Shares, Class A Common Shares, Class S Common Shares, and Class ER Common Shares (the “Private Offering”). The Trustee may increase the maximum offering amount of the Private Offering as long as it is anticipated to be accretive to the Company’s shareholders, in the Trustee’s sole discretion. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, ExchangeRight Income Fund GP, LLC, owned 600,000 Class I Common Shares as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which were purchased on the same terms as those available to the other investors at acquisition. The following table provides a summary of the Class I, Class A, Class S, and Class ER common shares offering prices in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Common Share Repurchase Program

 

The Company has adopted a share repurchase program whereby, subject to certain limitations, holders of the Class I, Class A, and Class S Common Shares may request on a quarterly basis that the Company repurchases all or any portion of their shares. The Class ER Common Shares are not eligible for repurchase under the share repurchase program. Shareholders are

eligible to have their shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the share repurchase program and the authorization of the Trustee. Holders of shares may request that the Company repurchase shares in an amount not to exceed five percent (5.0%) per fiscal year of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, or as approved by the Trustee. The Company may repurchase fewer shares than have been requested in any particular quarter to be repurchased under its share repurchase program, or none at all, at the Company’s full discretion. The Company also has no obligation to repurchase shares if the redemption would violate the applicable restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause the Company to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. The Trustee may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. The 600,000 Class I Common Shares owned by ExchangeRight Income Fund GP, LLC are restricted to redemption and therefore not subject to the share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 267,003 Class I Common Shares and 118,678 Class A Common Shares totaling $10.3 million under the share repurchase program.

 

Distributions

 

The amount of distributions payable to the Company’s shareholders is determined by the Trustee and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, the Company’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain the Company’s status as a REIT. The Trustee has authorized, and the Company has declared, distributions through March 31, 2025. The distributions are payable on or around the 15th day following each month end to shareholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the prior month.

Cumulative distributions relating to Class I Common Shares, Class A Common Shares, Class ER Common Shares and Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”) totaling $3.7 million were declared but not yet paid as of March 31, 2025 and have been included in distributions payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The unpaid distributions as of March 31, 2025 were paid in cash or reinvested in the Company’s common shares in April 2025.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Operating Partnership had 8,948,657 OP Units outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The holders of OP Units have the right to cause their OP Units to be redeemed by the Operating Partnership for cash, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase such OP Units in exchange for Class I Common Shares of the Company, issuable on a 1:1 basis, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Company currently intends to elect to pay the redemption price for all OP Units tendered for redemption in the form of Class I Common Shares. 22,718 OP Units were exchanged for the same number of Class I Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
