MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2021 / Gladstone Commercial Corporation (Nasdaq:GOOD) ("we" or "Gladstone Commercial") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on acquiring, owning and operating net leased industrial and office properties across the United States. We are providing the following business update regarding our portfolio performance during a time of market volatility related to, among other factors, the global COVID-19 pandemic.

  • 100% of October cash base rents have been paid and collected. Portfolio occupancy is at 97.5%, as of November 1, 2021.
  • We remain within a small subset of U.S. equity REITs that have maintained their dividend rate and payment of distributions in tandem with this high level of rental collections during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Year-to-date, we extended, expanded and/or leased 1.5 million square feet covering 14 tenants with a weighted average lease term of 7.5 years and a tenant improvement allowance of $2.96 per square foot. The annualized straight-line rent of these transactions totals $13.1 million. The combined straight-line rents for these transactions increased by 7.3%, as compared to prior rents.
  • On November 3, 2021, we acquired a 161,458 square foot industrial facility for $12.8 million. The facility is leased to Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, U.S., Inc. with 7.9 years of remaining NNN lease term.
  • Since January 1, 2021, and through November 1, 2021, we have issued 1.6 million shares of common stock for net proceeds of $32.2 million.
  • We continue to have ample liquidity and a strong capital structure. As of November 1, 2021, our current available liquidity is approximately $37.7 million via our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

We have experienced successful rent collection during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, we may receive additional rent relief requests as the pandemic continues to adversely affect business operations. However, we are unable to quantify the outcomes of potential future negotiation of relief packages, the success of any tenant's financial prospects or the amount of relief requests that we will ultimately receive or grant.
