Condition of Our Tenants

Pottsville, PA and Sparks, NV Cultivation Facilities

On July 30, 2025, AYR Wellness Inc. (“AYR”), which operated at two of the Company’s properties located in Pottsville, PA and Sparks, NV, announced that it had entered into a restructuring support agreement with its senior noteholders. Under the restructuring support agreement, certain AYR assets and operations will be acquired by the senior noteholders, while the remaining assets and operations, including those at the Company’s leased properties, are to be sold or wound down.

The cultivation properties leased to AYR accounted for approximately 5.9% of the Company’s rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. AYR satisfied its rent obligations through July 2025; however, beginning in August 2025 through the end of the quarter, the Company did not receive rent for its Pottsville, PA and Sparks, NV cultivation properties, which AYR vacated during the quarter. The Company applied approximately $505.1 thousand of AYR’s security deposits toward unpaid rent in the third quarter for the Pottsville and Sparks properties. At the end of the quarter, the combined remaining security deposits held by the Company totaled approximately $408.4 thousand across both properties. The Company intends to enforce all rights available under the applicable lease agreements.

Fitchburg, MA Cultivation Facility

Revolutionary Clinics, Inc. (“Revolutionary Clinics”), which leased the Company’s Fitchburg, MA cultivation property, has experienced operational challenges that impaired its ability to meet contractual rent obligations. Beginning in June 2024, Revolutionary Clinics remitted approximately 50% of rent due. On December 13, 2024, the tenant entered into receivership. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a stipulation agreement with the court-appointed receiver to receive 50% of contractual rent on a weekly basis, along with weekly reimbursements for certain delinquent real estate taxes and utilities previously paid by the Company until the property was vacated and operations ceased. In July 2025, Revolutionary Clinics vacated the property, and rental payments ceased. The Company has engaged a broker and is actively marketing the property for lease and leasing efforts remain ongoing.

Financing Activity

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $7.6 million in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $82.4 million in funds available to be drawn, subject to sufficient collateral in the borrowing base. The Revolving Credit Facility accrued interest at a fixed rate of 5.65% through May 5, 2025. Commencing May 6, 2025, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon the greater of (a) the Prime Rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) plus an applicable margin of 1.0% or (b) 4.75%. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate was at 8.25%.

The facility is subject to certain liquidity and operating covenants and includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the agreement.

Dividend

On September 12, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.43 per share of common stock, equivalent to an annualized dividend of $1.72 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2025, and represents an AFFO payout ratio of 82%.

Recent Developments

On October 23, 2025, the Company amended its lease agreements with C3 Industries (“C3”) to modify the terms of both the Hartford and Missouri leases. Under the amended Hartford lease, the Company agreed to pursue a sale of the Hartford property, and in connection with that agreement, C3 is required to reimburse the Company for any shortfall if the sale proceeds are less than the Company’s investment basis. Conversely, if sale proceeds exceed the Company’s basis, a portion of the excess will be paid to C3 as reimbursement for their investment in the property. C3 will continue to pay monthly base rent through the sale date. Upon completion of the sale, a portion of the rent previously allocated to the Hartford property will be reallocated to the Missouri lease, to compensate the Company for a portion of the income no longer received from the Hartford property. C3 will continue to pay this incremental rent under the Missouri lease until the Company invests in new properties with C3 pursuant to its right of first refusal agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Funds From Operations

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Adjusted Funds From Operations

The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for non-cash and certain non-recurring transactions, including non-cash components of compensation expense and the effect of provisions for credit loss. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner and therefore the Company’s calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
