The following replaces in its entirety the text, table and related footnotes set forth under “Dilution” on pages 66 and 67 of the Registration Statement:

Investors in our common stock offered by this prospectus will experience an immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of our common stock from the initial public offering price. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock.

At March 31, 2021, we had a net tangible book value of approximately $315.7 million, or $18.22 per share, held by existing stockholders. After giving effect to the sale of our common stock in this offering and the application of the net proceeds received by us from this offering, the pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2021 attributable to common stockholders would have been approximately $403.0 million, or $19.34 per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.12 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $7.66 per share from the assumed public offering price of $27.00 per share of common stock to our new investors. The following table illustrates this per-share dilution.

 

Assumed initial public offering price per share of our common stock(1)

      $ 27.00  

Net tangible book value per share before this offering, as of March 31, 2021(2)

(1)

Based on a price per share equal to the midpoint of the price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus.

 

(2)

Net tangible book value per share of our common stock before this offering, as of March 31, 2021, is determined by dividing the net book value of tangible assets at March 31, 2021 (consisting of total assets less intangible assets, which are comprised of $25.5 million of in-place lease intangible assets) by the number of shares of our common stock to be held by the existing stockholders prior to the completion of this offering excludes (a) 125,635 shares of common stock underlying 125,635 restricted stock units; (b) 791,790 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to option agreements; (c) 602,392 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of NLCP Holdings, LLC’s purchase rights pursuant to a warrant agreement and (d) 365,103 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding OP units held by limited partners in our operating partnership other than us).

 

(3)

The increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering is determined by subtracting (a) the net tangible book value per share before this offering (see footnote (2) above) from (b) the pro forma net tangible book value per share following this offering (see footnote (4) below).

 

(4)

Based on pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $403.0 million divided by the sum of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering, not including (a) 127,176 shares of common stock underlying 127,176 restricted stock units; (b) 791,790 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to option agreements;

 

(c)

602,392 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of NLCP Holdings, LLC’s purchase rights pursuant to a warrant agreement; (d) 2,235,132 shares of our common stock available for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan and (e) 453,303 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding OP units held by limited partners in our operating partnership other than us.

 

(5)

Dilution is determined by subtracting pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering from the initial public offering price per share paid by a new investor in this offering


Differences Between New Investors and Existing Stockholders
