CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: general economic and financial conditions; market volatility; inflation; any potential recession or threat of recession; interest rates; recent and ongoing disruption in the debt and banking markets; occupancy, rent deferrals and the financial condition of our tenants; whether work-from-home trends or other factors will impact the attractiveness of industrial and/or office assets; whether we will be successful in renewing leases as they expire; future financial and operating results, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; expected sources of financing, including the ability to maintain the commitments under our revolving credit facility, and the availability and attractiveness of the terms of any such financing; legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect our business; our future capital expenditures, operating expenses, net income, operating income, cash flow and developments and trends of the real estate industry; whether we will be successful in the pursuit of our business plan, including any dispositions; whether we will succeed in our investment objectives; any fluctuation and/or volatility of the trading price of our common shares; risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and other factors, including those risks disclosed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us.

Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, this document contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included in this Appendix if the reconciliation is not presented on the page in which the measure is published.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)

1. Organization

Peakstone Realty Trust (“PKST” or the “Company”) is an internally managed, publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates a high-quality, newer-vintage portfolio of predominantly single-tenant industrial and office properties. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

PKST OP, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), owns directly and indirectly all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned approximately 91.2 % of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio consisted of 73 properties located in 24 states with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 6.3 years.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since the Company filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared by management on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and in conjunction with rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts and related adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 . In addition, see the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are shown on the consolidated statements if and to the extent to required pursuant to GAAP. With the exception of the Office Joint Venture (defined below), each property-owning entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary which is a special purpose entity (“SPE”). If a property is separately financed (i.e., not part of the borrowing base under our credit facility or a collateralized loan pool), the income from such property is generally not available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other entity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Per Share Data

The Company reports earnings per share for the period as (1) basic earnings per share computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and (2) diluted earnings per share computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted

average number of outstanding common shares determined in the basic earnings per share computation plus the potential effect of any dilutive securities (e.g., OP Units and preferred shares, when considered convertible for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share). The effect of including OP Units and unvested time-based restricted share units using the treasury stock method was excluded from our calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share, as the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. Total excluded shares related to the OP Units and unvested time-based restricted share units were 3,879,641 and 3,745,445 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Total excluded shares related to the OP Units and unvested time-based restricted share units were 3,785,135 and 3,755,708 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Restricted Cash

As required by certain lease provisions or certain lenders in conjunction with an acquisition or debt financing, the Company assumed or funded reserves for specific property improvements and deferred maintenance, re-leasing costs, and taxes and insurance, which are included on the consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash. Additionally, an ongoing replacement reserve is funded by certain tenants pursuant to such tenant’s respective lease as follows:


	Balance as of
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash reserves	$	1,036	$	4,262
Restricted lockbox	4,615		502
Total restricted cash	$	5,651	$	4,764

Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC 360, the Company assesses the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets 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, the Company considers current market conditions as well as the Company's 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, and 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 the Company's underlying business. If the Company’s analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, the Company will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.

Projections of expected future undiscounted cash flows require management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount and capitalization rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment. See Note 3, Real Estate, for further details.

Impairment of Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its equity method investment in an unconsolidated entity for a potential other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). If the Company’s investment is other than temporarily impaired, it determines the fair value of its investment and records the impairment measured as the difference between its carrying amount and fair value. The impairment is recorded to net earnings or loss from investment in unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4, Investment in Unconsolidated Entities, for further details.

Segment Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information about a public entity’s reportable segments. The Company internally evaluates all of the properties and interests therein as three reportable segments: Industrial, Office, and Other. Refer to Note 14, Segment Reporting , for further details.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements. The Company intends to adhere to these requirements and maintain its REIT status for the current year and subsequent years. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. However, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will then be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect net income and net cash available for distribution to shareholders. As of September 30, 2023, the Company satisfied the REIT requirements and distributed all of its taxable income.

Pursuant to the Code, the Company has elected to treat Griffin Capital Essential Asset TRS, Inc. as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”). In general, the TRS may perform non-customary services for the Company’s tenants and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. The TRS will be subject to corporate federal and state income tax.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of consideration paid over the fair value of underlying identifiable net assets of business acquired. The Company’s goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. On October 1 of each year, the Company performs a qualitative analysis to determine whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting units in step one of the impairment test. If a quantitative assessment is deemed necessary, and to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s allocated goodwill exceeds the unit’s fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment of goodwill for the excess up to the amount of goodwill of that reporting unit.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Other than the ASUs discussed below, the FASB has not recently issued any other ASUs that the Company expects to be applicable and have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 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 provides temporary optional guidance that provides transition relief for reference rate reform, including optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 was effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company 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. The Company has subsequently elected to apply additional expedients related to contract modifications, changes in critical terms, and updates to the designated hedged risk(s) as qualifying changes have been made to applicable debt and anticipate to be made to derivative contracts. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives and debt contracts consistent with past presentation. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Real Estate Impairment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, the Company recorded a real estate impairment provision of approximately $ 397.4 million on 16 properties, consisting of eight Office properties for $ 196.1 million and eight Other properties for $ 201.2 million. The impaired properties are located in the Southwest, Northeast, West, and Southeast regions of the United States. The impairment resulted from changes in the second quarter related to anticipated hold periods, estimated selling prices, and potential vacancies that impacted the recoverability of these assets. In determining the fair value of the properties, the Company considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements , for details.

subject to certain major decision rights held by another minority interest holder. The Managing Member may be removed from its management positions upon the occurrence of specified events.

GRT VAO Sub has approval rights over certain major decisions regarding actions by the Office Joint Venture, including certain fundamental decisions that the Office Joint Venture may approve. GRT VAO Sub’s obligation is generally limited to its initial contribution. GRT VAO Sub is not obligated to make any additional capital contributions beyond its initial capital contribution.

The Office Joint Venture, through various subsidiary borrowers, obtained acquisition financing for the Initial JV Office Portfolio comprised of (a) a $ 736.0 million mortgage loan (the “Initial JV Office Mortgage Loan”), and (b) a $ 194.8 million mezzanine loan (the “JV Office Mezzanine Loan”, and together with the JV Office Initial Mortgage Loan, the “Initial Office JV Loans”). The initial maturity date of the Initial Office JV Loans was September 9, 2023, subject to two , one-year extension options. The interest rates during the initial term of the Initial JV Office Mortgage Loan and the JV Office Mezzanine Loan were Term SOFR (1-month) (with a 3 % interest rate cap on SOFR) + 3.635 % (subject to a 0.25 % increase during each extension term) and Term SOFR (1-month) with a 3 % interest rate cap on SOFR + 6.574 % (subject to a 0.25 % increase during each extension term), respectively. The Office Joint Venture paid approximately $ 6.7 million for the interest rate caps.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Office Joint Venture exercised the first of two one-year extension options, extending the maturity date of the Initial Office JV Loans to September 9, 2024. The interest rates during the one-year extension terms of the Initial JV Office Mortgage Loan and the JV Office Mezzanine Loan are Term SOFR (1-month) (with a 4.4 % interest rate cap on SOFR) + 3.885 % and Term SOFR (1-month) + 6.824 %, respectively. The Office Joint Venture paid approximately $ 9.6 million for the interest rate caps and funded a portion of the purchase by calling capital from its members (the “Capital Call”). GRT VAO Sub’s portion of the Capital Call was approximately $ 2.0 million. GRT VAO Sub is not obligated to and did not fund any amount of the Capital Call. In accordance with the Office Joint Venture’s governing documents, another member of the Office Joint Venture (the “Funding Member”) made an interest bearing loan to GRT VAO Sub in the principal amount of GRT VAO Sub’s portion of the Capital Call (the “Shortfall Loan”), the proceeds of which Shortfall Loan were used to fund GRT VAO Sub’s portion of the Capital Call. The Shortfall Loan is non-recourse to GRT VAO Sub and its affiliates and shall be repaid to the Funding Member solely out of (i) any distributions to which GRT VAO Sub is otherwise entitled under the Office Joint Venture’s governing documents and (ii) the proceeds from certain transfers which results in GRT VAO Sub and its affiliates no longer owning a direct or indirect equity interest in the Office Joint Venture.

The Office Joint Venture, through various subsidiary borrowers, also obtained acquisition financing for the Companion JV Office Portfolio, comprised of a $ 142.1 million mortgage loan, having an initial maturity date of January 6, 2024 (subject to two , one-year extension options), and an interest rate during the initial term of Term SOFR (1-month with a 4 % interest rate cap on SOFR) + 4.25 % (subject to a 0.25 % increase during each extension term) (the “Companion Office JV Loan”, and together with the Initial Office JV Loans, the “Office JV Loans”).

The Company has not guaranteed any debt obligations and has not otherwise committed to providing financial support in respect of the Office JV Loans. In addition, the Company does not anticipate receiving any near-term cash flow distributions from the assets that are part of the JV Office Portfolio. Considering the Company’s limited economic exposure to the Office Joint Venture, the Company excludes interests in the assets in the Office Joint Venture from operating data.

The interests discussed above are deemed to be variable interests in variable interest entities ("VIE") and based on an evaluation of the variable interests against the criteria for consolidation, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the investment, as the Company does not have power to direct the activities of the entities that most significantly affect their performance. As such, the interest in the VIE is recorded using the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the investments in the unconsolidated entities are stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings of real estate ventures is generally recognized based on the allocation of cash distributions upon liquidation of the investment at book value in accordance with the operating agreements. The Company records the net earnings or losses on investment on a one quarter lag. The Company's maximum exposure to losses associated with its unconsolidated investments is primarily limited to its initial contribution in the investments.

balance. The impairment resulted from a decline in the fair value of the investment primarily due to increased future loan extension risk impacting the Company’s expectations on the recoverability of the investment. The impairment was recorded to “Net loss from investment in unconsolidated entity” on the consolidated statement of operations.

$ 400.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in December 2025 (the “$ 400 M 2025 5-Year Term Loan”), and a $ 150.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in April 2026 (the “$ 150 M 2026 7-Year Term Loan”) and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the $ 400 M 2025 5-Year Term Loan, the “KeyBank Loans”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides the option, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions, to increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase the existing term loans and/or incur new term loans by up to an additional $ 1.0 billion in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2023, the available undrawn capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $ 152.1 million.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership maintain a pool of unencumbered real properties (each a “Pool Property” and collectively the “Pool Properties”) that meet certain requirements contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement sets forth certain covenants relating to the Pool Properties, including, without limitation:

• there must be no less than 15 Pool Properties at any time;

• no greater than 15 % of the aggregate pool value may be contributed by a single Pool Property or tenant;

• no greater than 15 % of the aggregate pool value may be contributed by Pool Properties subject to ground leases;

• no greater than 20 % of the aggregate pool value may be contributed by Pool Properties which are under development or assets under renovation;

• the minimum aggregate leasing percentage of all Pool Properties must be no less than 90 %; and

• other limitations as determined by KeyBank upon further due diligence of the Pool Properties.

Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of the maximum amount of all loans outstanding that would result in (i) an unsecured leverage ratio of no greater than 60 %, or (ii) an unsecured interest coverage ratio of no less than 2.00 :1.00.

Guarantors of the KeyBank Loans include the Company, each special purpose entity that owns a Pool Property, and each of the Operating Partnership’s other subsidiaries which owns a direct or indirect equity interest in a SPE that owns a Pool Property.

In addition to customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Operating Partnership to comply with the following, which will be tested on a quarterly basis:

• a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 60 %, or, the ratio may increase, on two occasions, to 65 % for up to four consecutive quarters after a material acquisition;

• a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $ 1,000,000,000.00 , plus (ii) (A) seventy-five percent ( 75 %) of the net proceeds (gross proceeds less reasonable and customary costs of sale and issuance paid to persons not affiliates of any credit party) received by the Company or the Operating Partnership at any time from the issuance of shares (whether common, preferred or otherwise), after the effective date of the Seventh Amendment, plus (B) seventy-five percent ( 75 %) of the amount of OP Units of the Operating Partnership issued after the effective date of the Seventh Amendment, minus (iii) seventy-five percent ( 75 %) of the amount of any payments that are used to redeem shares (whether common, preferred or otherwise) of the Company or the Operating Partnership or to redeem OP Units after the effective date of the Seventh Amendment, minus (iv) any amounts paid for the redemption or retirement of, or any accrued return on, the preferred equity held by SHBNPP Global Professional Investment Type Private Real Estate Trust No. 13(H) (the “Preferred Holder”);

• aggregate maximum unhedged variable rate debt of not greater than 30 % of the Company's total asset value; and

• a maximum unsecured leverage ratio of 60 %, or, the ratio may increase, on two occasions, up to 65 % for up to four consecutive quarters after a material acquisition.

Furthermore, the activities of the Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries must be focused principally on the ownership, development, operation and management of office, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, distribution or educational properties (or mixed uses thereof) and businesses reasonably related or ancillary thereto.

In addition, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement prohibits any special distributions from extraordinary non-recurring income.

On October 31, 2023, the Company exercised its option to extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to March 30, 2024, which extension will become effective upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions.

Debt Covenant Compliance

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s mortgage loans and the KeyBank Loans, the Operating Partnership, in consolidation with the Company, is subject to certain loan compliance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of September 30, 2023.

6. Interest Rate Contracts

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters 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 values of which are determined by expected cash payments principally related to borrowings and interest rates. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)

Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt, including the KeyBank Loans. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt.

The following table sets forth a summary of the interest rate swaps at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


				Fair Value (1)				Current Notional Amounts
Derivative Instrument	Effective Date	Maturity Date	Interest Strike Rate	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Assets/(Liabilities):
Interest Rate Swap	3/10/2020	7/1/2025	0.83 %	$	10,807	$	12,391	$	150,000	$	150,000
Interest Rate Swap	3/10/2020	7/1/2025	0.84 %	7,199		8,244		100,000		100,000
Interest Rate Swap	3/10/2020	7/1/2025	0.86 %	5,370		6,145		75,000		75,000
Interest Rate Swap	7/1/2020	7/1/2025	2.82 %	4,818		4,331		125,000		125,000
Interest Rate Swap	7/1/2020	7/1/2025	2.82 %	3,841		3,444		100,000		100,000
Interest Rate Swap	7/1/2020	7/1/2025	2.83 %	3,838		3,441		100,000		100,000
Interest Rate Swap	7/1/2020	7/1/2025	2.84 %	3,814		3,408		100,000		100,000
Total				$	39,687	$	41,404	$	750,000	$	750,000

(1) The Company records all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets, and accordingly there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities. As of September 30, 2023, derivatives in an asset or liability position are included in the line item “Other assets” or “Interest rate swap liability” in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The SOF rate as of September 30, 2023 (effective date) was 5.43 %.

The following table sets forth the impact of the interest rate swaps on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Interest Rate Swap in Cash Flow Hedging Relationship:
Amount of loss recognized in AOCI on derivatives	$	( 15,371 )	$	59,179
Amount of gain reclassified from AOCI into earnings under “Interest expense”	$	16,993	$	( 5,292 )
Total interest expense presented in the consolidated statement of operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded	$	49,208	$	68,315

During the twelve months subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company estimates that an additional $ 25.5 million of its income will be recognized from AOCI into earnings.

Certain agreements with the derivative counterparties contain a provision that if the Company defaults on its credit facility indebtedness, including a default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender within a specified time period, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no swaps in a liability position. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

8. Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) “significant other observable inputs,” and (iii) “significant unobservable inputs.” “Significant other observable inputs” can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. “Significant unobservable inputs” are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances in which 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 of 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. There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recurring Measurements

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


Assets/(Liabilities)	Total Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets and Liabilities		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

including eight Office and eight Other properties, located in the Southwest, Northeast, West, and Southeast regions of the United States. The impairment resulted from changes in the second quarter related to anticipated hold periods, estimated selling prices, and potential vacancies that impacted the recoverability of these assets.

In determining the fair value of the properties, (i) for thirteen assets, the Company performed discounted cash flow analyses based on assumptions primarily relating to market rent, discount rates, and terminal capitalization rates, and (ii) for three assets, the Company based its determination on an estimated selling price per square foot and a shortened hold period. The Company considered these inputs as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The following table is a summary of the quantitative information related to the non-recurring fair value measurement for the impairment of the Company's real estate properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	Range of Inputs
	Southwest	Northeast	West	Southeast
Market rent (per square foot)	$ 16.00 - $ 27.00	$ 15.00 - $ 30.00	$ 21.00	$ 14.00
Discount rate	8.50 % - 15.00 %	8.00 % - 15.00 %	9.00 %	15.00 %

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an OTTI of approximately $ 129.3 million for its investment in the Office Joint Venture, which represents a complete write-off of the Company’s remaining investment balance. The impairment resulted from a decline in the fair value of the investment primarily due to increased future loan extension risk impacting the Company’s expectations on the recoverability of the investment. In determining the fair value of the investment in the Office Joint Venture, the Company considered Level 3 inputs.

Financial Instruments at Fair Value

Financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and mortgage payable and other borrowings, as defined in Note 5, Debt. With the exception of the mortgage loans in the table below, the amounts of the financial instruments presented in the consolidated financial statements substantially approximate their fair value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The fair value of the seven mortgage loans in the table below is estimated by discounting each loan’s principal balance over the remaining term of the mortgage using estimated current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities. The Company determined that the mortgage debt valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on current pricing for debt with similar terms as the in-place debt.

9. Equity

Common Equity

On April 13, 2023, the Company’s common Class T Shares, Class S shares, Class D shares, Class I shares, Class A shares, Class AA shares and Class AAA shares, were converted into Class E common shares (the “Conversion”) and all of our Class E common shares became listed (the “Listing”) on the New York Stock Exchange as “common shares”.

Prior to the Conversion, Class T shares, Class S shares, Class D shares, Class I shares, Class A shares, Class AA shares, Class AAA shares and Class E shares voted together as a single class, and each common share of each class was entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders; provided that with respect to any matter that would only have a material adverse effect on the rights of a particular class of common shares, only the holders of such affected class were entitled to a vote .

As a result of the Conversion and in connection with the Listing on April 13, 2023, all of our Class E common shares are now known as common shares.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $ 2.8 billion from the sale of shares in private offerings, public offerings, the DRP (defined below) offerings and mergers (includes offerings by our predecessor, Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT, Inc. (our “Predecessor”), our Predecessor’s merger with Signature Office REIT, Inc., and our Predecessor’s merger with certain other related entities (the “Predecessor Mergers”) and the acquisition of Cole Office & Industrial REIT (“CCIT II”) in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “CCIT II Merger”). As part of the $ 2.8 billion from the sale of shares, the Company issued (i) approximately 4,863,623 Class E shares in June 2015 upon the consummation of the merger with Signature Office REIT, Inc., (ii) 19,442,394 Class E shares in April 2019 upon consummation of the Predecessor Mergers in exchange for all outstanding shares of our Predecessor’s common stock at the time of the Predecessor Mergers, and (iii) 10,384,185 Class E shares in exchange for all the outstanding shares of CCIT II’s common stock at the time of the CCIT II Merger.

As of September 30, 2023, there were 35,997,549 common shares outstanding, including shares issued pursuant to the DRP, less shares redeemed pursuant to the SRP (defined below) and the self-tender offer, which occurred in May 2019 (the “Self-Tender Offer”).

ATM Program

In August 2023, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering (the “ATM”) pursuant to which the Company may sell common shares up to an aggregate purchase price of $ 200.0 million. The Company may sell such shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from time to time, but the Company has no obligation to sell any of the shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares, capital needs, and the Company’s determinations of the appropriate sources of funding.

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not sell shares under the ATM program.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Prior to its termination on May 15, 2023, the Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”), which allowed shareholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional common shares. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees were paid on shares sold through the DRP, but the DRP shares were charged the applicable distribution fee payable with respect to all shares of the applicable class. The purchase price per share under the DRP was equal to the net asset value ("NAV") per share applicable to the class of shares purchased, calculated using the most recently published NAV available at the time of reinvestment.

On May 22, 2023, the Company filed a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the Company’s DRP to deregister to all of the common shares registered for sales that were not sold pursuant to such registration statement.

As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had issued approximately $ 341.1 million in shares pursuant to the DRP offerings.

Share Redemption Program

Prior to its termination upon the Listing on April 13, 2023, the Company had adopted a share redemption program (the “SRP”) that enabled shareholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP was suspended on October 1, 2021 but resumed on a limited basis (i.e., limited to redemptions in connection with a holder’s death, disability, or incompetence) on August 5, 2022 with quarterly redemptions capped at $ 5.0 million. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the SRP, during any calendar year, with respect to each share class, the Company was permitted to redeem no more than 5 % of the weighted-average number of shares of such class outstanding during the prior calendar year.

Under the SRP, the Company would redeem shares as of the last business day of each quarter at a price equal to the most recently published NAV per share for the applicable class prior to quarter end. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company redeemed 941 shares. The SRP was suspended again on March 7, 2023 and terminated in connection with the Listing.

The following table summarizes share redemption activity under the SRP during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023			2022
Shares of common shares redeemed	—		74,850		941		(1)	74,850
Weighted average price per share	$	—	$	66.78	$	66.87		$	66.78

(1) Does not include shares withheld (i.e., forfeited) by employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements associated with the vesting of RSUs.

During the period beginning July 31, 2014 and through the termination of the SRP, the C ompany had redeemed 3,295,618 shares (excluding the Self-Tender Offer) of common shares for approximately $ 275.5 million at a weighted average price per share of $ 83.60 pursuant to the SRP.

Issuance of Restricted Share Units to Executive Officers, Employees and Board of Trustees

On April 5, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the Peakstone Realty Trust Second Amended and Restated Employee and Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Employee and Trustee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) to (1) change the name of the Prior Plan in connection with the Company’s name change, (2) expressly provide for the grant of profits interests (or “LTIP Units”) in the Operating Partnership and (3) make conforming entity name changes throughout. Otherwise, the Plan contains the same material terms as the Prior Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of share-based awards to the Company’s trustees, full-time employees and certain consultants that provide services to the Company or affiliated entities. Awards granted under the Plan may consist of

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)

stock options, restricted shares, share appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, LTIP Units, and other equity-based awards.

The share-based awards are measured at fair value at issuance and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The maximum number of shares authorized under the Plan is 777,778 shares. As of September 30, 2023 , 166,868 shares were available for future issuance under the Plan.

As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, there was $ 11.0 million and $ 14.2 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense remaining, which vests between three months and approximately 2.3 years.

Total compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was approximately $ 2.4 million and $ 2.7 million, respectively. Total compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was approximately $ 9.0 million and $ 6.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity of unvested shares of RSU awards for the periods presented:


	Number of Unvested Shares of RSU Awards	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share

(1) Total shares vested include 55,438 common shares that were withheld (i.e., forfeited) by employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to satisfy minimum statutory tax with holdings requirements associated with the vesting of RSUs.

Full Redemption of Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares

On April 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with the Preferred Holder and Shinhan Asset Management Co., Ltd.

Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, the Company redeemed from the Preferred Holder all 5,000,000 shares of “Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) held by the Preferred Holder in exchange for (i) a redemption payment of $ 125.0 million, and (ii) the amount of accumulated and unpaid distributions of approximately $ 2.4 million, in accordance with the Articles Supplementary filed by the Company on April 30, 2019 (the “Articles Supplementary”). The Preferred Holder agreed to waive the Redemption Fee (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) in the amount of $ 1.9 million and any other payments in connection with the Series A Preferred Shares. The Redemption Agreement also terminated the Series A Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August 8, 2018, by and between the Company and the Preferred Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”), and provided that any rights and privileges afforded to the Preferred Holder under the Purchase Agreement were terminated and canceled and of no further force or effect, including the Preferred Holder’s right to purchase, and the Company’s obligation to sell, the Second Tranche (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and no party to the Purchase Agreement has any further obligations thereunder.

10. Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in which the Company is the general partner.

As of September 30, 2023, noncontrolling interests were approximately 8.8 % of total shares and 8.9 % of weighted average shares outstanding (both measures assuming OP Units were converted to common shares). The Company classified OP Units exchanged for limited partnership interests issued in conjunction with contributed assets and in connection with the internalization of management of the Company in December 2018 (the “Self-Administration Transaction”), as noncontrolling interests, which are presented as a component of permanent equity, except as discussed below.

Any noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity has been reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (a) the carrying amount or (b) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.

As of September 30, 2023, the limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned approximately 3.5 million OP Units, which were issued to then affiliated parties and unaffiliated third parties in exchange for the contribution of certain properties to the Company and in connection with the Self-Administration Transaction, and approximately 0.02 million OP Units were issued unrelated to property contributions.

As of September 30, 2023, all limited partners of the Operating Partnership (See Noncontrolling Interest Subject to Redemption below) had an Exchange Right (as defined below), pursuant to which, if exercised, the Operating Partnership would be required to redeem their OP Units for cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of common shares as calculated pursuant to the limited partnership agreement and applicable contribution agreement (the “Exchange Right”). If a limited partner of the Operating Partnership exercises an Exchange Right, the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to either (i) purchase the OP units for cash equal to the value of an equivalent number of common shares as calculated pursuant to the limited partnership agreement and applicable contribution agreement or (ii) purchase such limited partner’s OP Units by issuing common shares of the Company for the OP Units redeemed pursuant to the limited partnership agreement and applicable contribution agreement, subject to certain transfer and ownership limitations included in the Company’s charter and the limited partnership agreement.

The following summarizes the activity for noncontrolling interests recorded as equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023		Year Ended December 31, 2022
Beginning balance	$	174,655	$	218,653
Reclass of noncontrolling interest subject to redemption	10		957
Exchange of noncontrolling interests	( 6,550 )		—
Reclass of redeemable non-controlling interest	3,801		—
Distributions to noncontrolling interests	( 2,990 )		( 10,942 )
Allocated distributions to noncontrolling interests subject to redemption	( 3 )		( 17 )
Allocated net loss	( 52,677 )		( 39,714 )
Allocated other comprehensive income (loss)	( 300 )		5,718
Ending balance	$	115,946	$	174,655

Noncontrolling interests subject to redemption

Prior to the Listing, OP Units issued pursuant to the Will Partners Contribution were not included in permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheets, because the limited partners holding these OP Units could cause the general partner to redeem the OP Units for the cash value, and the Company could not elect to purchase such limited partner’s OP Units by issuing common shares of the Company for the OP Units redeemed. Accordingly, prior to Listing, the general partner of the Operating Partnership did not control these redemptions and these OP Units were presented on the consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interest subject to redemption at their redeemable value, and the net income (loss) and distributions attributed to

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2023

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)

these limited partners are allocated proportionately between common shareholders and other noncontrolling interests that are not considered redeemable.

Effective as of the Listing, and subsequently as of September 30, 2023, all OP Units are subject to the same redemption process as all other OP Units (i.e., can be redeemed for cash or, the Company can elect to purchase these OP Units by issuing common shares) as described above. The Company intends to redeem all OP Units for common shares.

Redemption of OP units from Self-Administration Transaction

In connection with the Self-Administration Transaction, Griffin Capital, LLC (“GC LLC”), an entity controlled by our former Executive Chairman, Kevin A. Shields, and an affiliate of our Predecessor’s sponsor, Griffin Capital Company, LLC “GCC LLC”), received OP units (approximately 2.7 million taking into effect the 9 to 1 reverse split) as consideration in exchange for the sale to our Predecessor of the advisory, asset management and property management business of Griffin Capital Real Estate Company, LLC (“GRECO”). GC LLC assigned approximately 50 % of the OP units received in connection with the Self-Administration Transaction to then participants in GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan. Mr. Shields is the plan administrator of such long-term incentive plan.

As previously disclosed, certain of our current and former employees and executive officers, including Michael Escalante, our Chief Executive Officer, and Javier Bitar, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, were employed by affiliates of GC LLC prior to the Self-Administration Transaction and are therefore participants in a long-term incentive plan of GC LLC that made grants to such participants in connection with services rendered prior to the Self-Administration Transaction. Participants in GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan, including Messrs. Escalante and Bitar, are entitled to receive distributions from the long-term incentive plan in the form of either cash, common shares, or other property, or a combination thereof, as elected by the plan administrator.

The Listing requires that certain awards under GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan be settled during the fourth quarter 2023 and in four annual installments thereafter, unless waived or modified . As described above, in connection with the settlement of GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan, the plan administrator may choose to distribute cash, common shares, or other property, or a combination thereof, as elected by the plan administrator. If the plan administrator elects to redeem the OP units GC LLC received in connection with the Self-Administration Transaction pursuant to the terms of our Operating Partnership’s operating agreement, we intend to satisfy such redemption request with our common shares. If such a redemption occurs in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the plan administrator determines to distribute only common shares to plan participants, then, pursuant to the terms of the GC LLC long-term incentive plan, GC LLC would distribute 56,266 common shares to Mr. Escalante and 2,000 common shares to Mr. Bitar in connection with the redemption in the fourth quarter of 2023. The redemption of OP units and distribution of common shares would have no economically dilutive effect on our common shareholders.

Administrative Services Agreement

As of October 6, 2023, the ASA is terminated. In connection with the Self-Administration Transaction, the Company, Operating Partnership, Predecessor, and GRECO, on the one hand, and GCC LLC and GC LLC, on the other hand, entered into that certain Administrative Services Agreement dated December 14, 2018 (as amended, the “ASA”), pursuant to which GCC LLC and GC LLC provided certain operational and administrative services to the Company at cost. The Company paid GCC LLC a monthly amount based on the actual costs anticipated to be incurred by GCC LLC for the provision of such services until such items were terminated from the ASA. Such costs were reconciled periodically and a full review of the costs is performed at least annually. In addition, the Company directly paid or reimbursed GCC LLC for the actual cost of any reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the provision of such services. On March 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and March 21, 2023, the Company amended the ASA to reduce the scope of services provided, including removing the provision of office space and advisor services. On June 21, 2023, the Company delivered a partial termination notice under the ASA electing to terminate certain general corporate support services effective July 22, 2023. Following such amendments and such notice, GCC LLC and GC LLC were obligated to provide the Company with human resources support only, which services were terminable by the Company upon thirty ( 30 ) days’ prior written notice to GCC and GC LLC. On September 6, 2023, the Company delivered a termination notice under the ASA with respect to such human resources support services and, given those were the only remaining services, the ASA itself, automatically terminated effective October 6, 2023.

Office Sublease

On March 25, 2022, the Company executed a sublease agreement with GCC (the “El Segundo Sublease”) for the building located at 1520 E. Grand Ave, El Segundo, CA (the “Building”) which is the location of the Company’s corporate headquarters and where the Company conducts day-to-day business. The Building is part of a campus that contains other buildings and parking (the “Campus”). The El Segundo Sublease also entitles the Company to use certain common areas on the Campus.

Prior to the execution of the El Segundo Sublease, the Company paid GCC rent for the Building as part of the Administrative Services Agreement. The Campus is owned by GCPI, LLC (“GCPI”), and the Building is master leased by GCPI to GCC. GCC is the sublessor under the El Segundo Sublease.

The initial term of the El Segundo Sublease expires on June 30, 2024, unless the parties agree to further extend the term. The El Segundo Sublease provides for initial monthly base rent of approximately $ 0.05 million, subject to annual escalations of 3 % as well as additional rent for certain operating expenses for the Building and portions of the Campus. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for approximately $ 0.4 million relating to the El Segundo Sublease, which is included in Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet .

12. Leases

Lessor

The Company leases industrial and office space to tenants primarily under leases classified as 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.

The Company recognized $ 166.5 million and $ 277.7 million of lease income related to operating lease payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

The Company's current third-party tenant leases have expirations ranging from 2024 to 2044. The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows for future minimum base rents to be received under operating leases as of September 30, 2023:


	As of September 30, 2023
Remaining 2023	$	52,740
2024	199,272
2025	185,716
2026	181,278
2027	162,377
Thereafter	708,591
Total	$	1,489,974

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.

Lessee - Ground Leases

As of September 30, 2023, the Company is the tenant under (i) three ground leases classified as operating leases, and (ii) two ground leases classified as financing leases. Each of these ground leases were assigned to the Company as part of its acquisition of the applicable assets and no incremental costs were incurred for such ground leases. These ground leases are classified as non-cancelable and contain no renewal options.

Lessee - Office Leases

As of September 30, 2023, the Company is the tenant under the following two office space leases, each of which is classified as a non-cancelable operating lease: (i) the El Segundo Sublease described in Note 11, Related Party Transactions, above, and (ii) a lease for its office space in Chicago, Illinois, which expires on June 29, 2025, which is subject and subordinate to the rights of another tenant in the building.

For ground leases and operating leases, the Company incurred costs of approximately $ 2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $ 3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which are included in “Property Operating Expense” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $ 1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $ 1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table sets forth the weighted-average for the lease term and the discount rate as of September 30, 2023:

Lease Term and Discount Rate	Operating	Financing
Weighted-average remaining lease term in years	76.6 years	15.2 years
Weighted-average discount rate (1)	4.89 %	3.34	%

(1) Because the rate implicit in each of the Company's leases was not readily determinable, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate. In determining the Company's incremental borrowing rate for each lease, the Company considered recent rates on secured borrowings, observable risk-free interest rates and credit spreads correlating to the Company's creditworthiness, the impact of collateralization and the term of each of the Company's lease agreements.

Maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023 were as follows:


	As of September 30, 2023
	Operating		Financing
Remaining 2023	$	540	$	343
2024	1,909		360
2025	1,570		365
2026	1,504		375
2027	1,527		381

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal and regulatory proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not a party to, nor is the Company aware of any material pending legal proceedings nor is any property of the Company subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvement Commitments

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for repositioning, capital expenditure projects, leasing commissions and tenant improvements of approximately $ 17.9 million.

14. Segment Reporting

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company evolved the management strategy of its real estate portfolio to focus on three different property types in order to provide clarity as to the value and operations associated with the assets within each group. As a result, the Company changed to three reportable segments: Industrial, Office, and Other. The Industrial segment consists of high-quality, well-located industrial properties with modern specifications. The Office segment consists of newer, high-quality, and business-essential office properties. The Other segment consists of vacant and non-core properties, together with other properties in the same cross-collateralized loan pools. This segment includes properties that are either non-stabilized, leased to tenants with shorter lease terms or are being evaluated for repositioning, re-leasing or potential sale. The Company recast its segment results for all prior periods presented to show the three reportable segments.

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amount)

The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on segment net operating income (“NOI”), which is defined as property revenue less property expenses. The Company excludes the following from Segment NOI because they are addressed on a corporate level: (i) the Office Joint Venture, (ii) interest expense, and (iii) general and administrative expenses. Segment NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate segment profit measures in the same manner. The Company considers segment NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.

The following table presents segment NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Consolidated Financial Statements, and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview

Peakstone Realty Trust is an internally managed, publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates a high-quality, newer-vintage portfolio of predominantly single-tenant industrial and office properties. These assets are generally leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net lease agreements with contractual rent escalations. The Company’s wholly-owned portfolio contains properties with key characteristics, including difficult-to-replicate locations and significant tenant investment in the building, which the Company believes make these properties more essential to the tenants.

PKST OP, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) owns, directly and indirectly all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned approximately 91.2% of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio (i) consisted of 73 properties located in 24 states with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 6.3 years, (ii) was 96.4% leased based on rentable square feet with an average economic occupancy of 95.9% comprised of Industrial (100%), Office (97.0%), and Other (83.1%), and (iii) generated approximately $202.9 million Annualized Base Rent (“ABR”), defined as contractual base rent (excluding abatement periods and deducting base year operating expenses for gross and modified gross leases) multiplied by 12 months.

Approximately 60.1% of the Company’s ABR is expected to be generated pursuant to leases with respect to which the tenant, the lease guarantor or a non-guarantor parent of the tenant has an investment grade credit rating from a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (e.g., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings Inc.) or a company with a non-NRSRO credit rating (e.g., Bloomberg’s default risk rating) that management believes is generally equivalent to an NRSRO investment grade rating. Management can provide no assurance as to the comparability of these ratings methodologies or that any particular rating for a company is indicative of the rating that a single NRSRO would provide in the event that it rated all companies for which the Company provides credit ratings; to the extent such companies are rated only by non-NRSRO ratings providers, such ratings providers may use methodologies that are different and less rigorous than those applied by NRSROs. In the context of the Company’s portfolio, references to “investment grade” include, and credit ratings provided by the Company may refer to, tenants, guarantors, and non-guarantor parent entities. There can be no assurance that such guarantors or non-guarantor parents of our tenants will satisfy our tenant’s lease obligations, and accordingly, any such credit ratings may not be indicative of the creditworthiness of such tenants.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company has established accounting estimates which conform to GAAP in the United States as contained in the FASB ASC. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different estimates would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may use different estimates and assumptions that may impact the comparability of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations to those companies.

For further information about the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Results of Operations

Overview

The Company’s results of operations are primarily impacted by the Company’s ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases, and our ability to dispose of and purchase industrial and select office assets, all of which impact period-to-period comparisons.

Due to current remote and hybrid work practices, demand for office space nationwide has declined and may continue to decline. While we have seen some positive recent movement in return-to-office mandates from employers, office utilization remains down materially relative to pre-pandemic levels. In addition, the current challenging economic conditions and volatility in the capital markets (including bank failures) have adversely impacted commercial real estate overall and, in particular, the office sector. These market conditions and the potential for increased capital costs and availability of debt capital, among other things, have driven many companies to be more reticent in making office or other real estate related investments. Also, debt financing for real estate companies is now more difficult to arrange. All of these trends and uncertainties may adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Notwithstanding these trends and uncertainties, we believe we are positioning ourselves to provide attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders by leveraging the Company’s experienced, real estate-focused, cycle tested management team to pursue our strategy which includes:

• Owning and operating a stabilized portfolio of wholly-owned, high quality, newer-vintage single-tenant industrial and office properties located in diverse, strategic growth markets;

• In the near-term, operating a self-funded business plan in the near-term through the capital recycling and free cash flow; and

• Selectively acquiring high-quality industrial properties and, potentially, certain office assets.

For a discussion of material trends and uncertainties that have impacted or may impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, see (i) the discussion in “Overview” above, and (ii) the risks highlighted in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Segment Information

The Company internally evaluates all of the properties and interests therein as three reportable segments: Industrial, Office and Other. The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on segment net operating income (“NOI”), which is defined as property revenue less property expenses. The Company excludes the following from segment NOI because they are addressed on a corporate level: (i) the Office Joint Venture, (ii) interest expense, and (iii) general administrative expenses. Segment NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate segment profit measures in the same manner. The Company considers segment NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.

NOI

Total NOI decreased by $28.7 million, or 37%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

Table of Contents

Office NOI decreased $26.4 million, or 49%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the dispositions of 42 Office segment properties in the third quarter of 2022 and the disposition of four Office segment properties in 2023.

Other NOI decreased $0.9 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to (i) a $0.4 million decrease in revenue, primarily driven by a $0.8 million decrease in termination income related to the prior year and (ii) a $0.6 million increase in operating expense primarily due to increases in recoverable operating expense.

Industrial NOI decreased $1.3 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the disposition of two industrial properties in January and February 2023.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense remained materially consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Corporate Operating Expenses to Related Parties

Corporate operating expenses to related parties remained materially consistent for three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Real Estate Impairment

Real estate impairment decreased approximately $10.7 million, or for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to no impairments recorded in the current quarter compared to impairments on one real estate asset in the same quarter last year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $17.6 million, the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the disposition of 42 Office segment properties in August and September 2022 and 9 properties through 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased approximately $8.2 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 and is primarily due to (i) the payoff of three mortgage loans and the 2023 Term Loan in September 2022, (ii) the payoff of one mortgage loan and 2024 Term Loan in March 2023, and (iii) offset by approximately $2.7 million of higher interest rates on unhedged variable debt and an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility balance.

Debt Breakage Costs

Debt breakage costs decreased approximately $13.2 million due to prepayments of the Midland Mortgage Loan and Bank of America Loan during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Other Income, Net

The increase in other income, net of $3.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in interest income earned from money market accounts.

Net loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Net loss from investment in unconsolidated entity increased approximately $144.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the Company’s investment in the Office Joint Venture, which was formed in August 2022. In September 2023, the Company recorded an OTTI of approximately $129.3 million for its investment in the Office Joint Venture, which represents a complete write-off of the Company’s remaining investment balance. The loss is also due to the Company’s proportionate share of (i) $51.7 million of interest

expense, including $22.0 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, and (ii) $17.1 million of depreciation expense incurred by the Office Joint Venture.

(Gain) Loss From Disposition of Assets

Gain from disposition of assets increased approximately $99.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due (i) to the gain of $3.7 million from the sale of one Other segment property during the three months ended September 30, 2023; offset by (ii) the net loss of $95.5 million from the sale of 42 Office segment properties during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses remained materially consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022.

Portfolio Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net Loss

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $583.3 million compared to a net loss of $193.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reasons for the change are discussed below.

NOI

Total NOI decreased by $111.8 million, or 42%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the following:

Office NOI decreased $103.9 million, or 54%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the dispositions of 48 Office properties in 2022 and four Office properties through the first three quarters of 2023.

Other NOI decreased $5.0 million, or 17%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to (i) a $3.2 million revenue decrease due to lower termination income and a natural lease expiration at one property and (ii) a $1.7 million increase in operating expense primarily due to increases in recoverable utility, repair, and maintenance expense.

Industrial NOI decreased $2.9 million, or 7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in rental revenue, as a result of the disposition of two industrial properties in January and February 2023.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to a (i) $2.4 million increase in employee severance expense, including $0.9 million in stock-based compensation and a $1.1 million severance cash payment and (ii) an $0.8 million increase in professional and service fees.

Corporate Operating Expenses to Related Parties

Corporate operating expenses to related parties remained materially consistent for the nine months ended nine months ended September 30, 2023 as nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Real Estate Impairment

Real estate impairment increased approximately $311.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the impairment of sixteen real estate assets in 2023. The impairment was primarily related to changes during the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to anticipated hold periods, estimated selling prices, and potential vacancies.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by approximately $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the dispositions of 48 properties in 2022 and 9 properties in 2023.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased approximately $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to (i) the payoff of three mortgage loans and the 2023 Term Loan in 2022, and (ii) the payoff of one mortgage loan and 2024 Term Loan in 2023; offset by (iii) an approximately $5.8 million increase due to higher interest rates on unhedged variable debt and an increase of the Revolving Credit Facility balance.

Debt Breakage Costs

Debt breakage costs decreased approximately $13.2 million due to prepayments of the Midland Mortgage Loan and Bank of America Loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other Income, Net

The increase in other income, net of $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to an increase in interest income earned from money market accounts.

Net Loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Net loss from investment in unconsolidated entity, of which the Company recognizes its proportionate share, increased approximately $176.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the Company’s investment in the Office Joint Venture, which was formed in August 2022. In September 2023, the Company recorded an OTTI of approximately $129.3 million for its investment in the Office Joint Venture, which represents a complete write-off of the Company’s remaining investment balance. The loss is also due to the Company’s proportionate share of (i) $144.7 million of interest expense, including $63.4 million of amortization of deferred financing costs, and (ii) $50.3 million of depreciation expense incurred by the Office Joint Venture.

Gain (Loss) From Disposition of Assets

Gain from disposition of assets increased approximately $120.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to the net gain of $24.7 million on disposition of two Industrial segment properties, four Office segment properties, and three Other segment properties in 2023 compared to the net loss of $95.5 million on the sale of 42 Office segment properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses increased by approximately $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to $24.6 million in banking, advisory, and other expenses related to the Listing compared to approximately $8.6 million related to transaction expenses in 2022.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets, adding back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and preferred distributions. Because FFO calculations exclude such items as depreciation and amortization of depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.

Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of share-based compensation net, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation, acquisition-related costs, financed termination fee, net of payments received, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-off transaction costs and other one-time transactions. FFO and AFFO have been revised to include amounts available to both common shareholders and limited partners for all periods presented.

AFFO is a measure used among our peer group. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies.

Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to make or sustain distributions. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.

For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss) are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. The use of AFFO as a measure of long-term operating performance on value is also limited if we do not continue to operate under our current business plan as noted above. FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than net income (loss) and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding equity in the earnings of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of real estate, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, investment income or loss and termination income. Net operating income on a cash basis (“Cash NOI”) is net operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease intangibles adjustments required by GAAP. Net operating income on a cash basis for our Same Store portfolio (“Same Store Cash NOI”) is Cash NOI for properties held for the entirety of all periods presented. We believe that NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are helpful to investors as additional measures of operating performance because we believe they help both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are unlevered operating performance metrics of our properties and allow for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. These measures thereby provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). In addition, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are considered by many in the real estate industry to be useful starting points for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets.

Because NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized 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, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI as measures of our performance is limited. Therefore, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI should not be considered as alternatives to net (loss) income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Our calculation of each of NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI is presented in the following table for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Property rental income is our primary source of operating cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors including occupancy levels and rental rates, as well as the ability and willingness of our tenants to pay rent. Our assets provide a relatively consistent level of cash flow that enables us to pay operating expenses, distributions, and debt service on our outstanding indebtedness. Generally, we anticipate that cash needs will be met from funds from operations and our Revolving Credit Facility. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations and proceeds from financings, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, debt amortization, capital expenditures, distributions and other requirements over the next 12 months and in the longer term. As of September 30, 2023, the available undrawn capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $152.1 million, an increase from the prior quarter primarily due to the addition of six unencumbered properties to the Revolving Credit Facility. Inclusive of cash and cash equivalents, our total liquidity is $516.6 million.

In August 2023, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering (the “ATM”) pursuant to which we may sell common shares up to an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million. We may sell such shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time, but we have no obligation to sell any of the shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares, capital needs, and our determinations of the appropriate sources of funding. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we did not sell shares under the ATM program.

Other Potential Future Sources

Other potential future sources of capital include proceeds from potential private or public offerings of our common shares or OP Units, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings, including debt assumed in a real estate acquisition transaction, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations, and joint venture arrangements. To the extent we are not able to secure additional financing in the form of a credit facility or other third party source of liquidity, we will be heavily dependent upon our current financing and income from operations.

Financing Activities

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, our Operating Partnership, as the borrower, has a $1.3 billion credit facility consisting of a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing in December 2023 (with a series of extension options to January 31, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions), a $400.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in December 2025 (the “$400M 2025 5-Year Term Loan”), and a $150.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in April 2026 (the “$150M 2026 7-Year Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the $400M 2025 5-Year Term Loan, the “KeyBank Loans”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides the option, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions, to increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, increase the existing term loans and/or incur new term loans by up to an additional $1.0 billion in the aggregate.

The interest rates for the KeyBank Loans vary based on our consolidated leverage ratio and ranges (a) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, from Adjusted SOFR plus 1.30% to Adjusted SOFR plus 2.20%, (b) in the case of each of the $400M 2025 5-Year Term Loan, and the $150M 2026 7-Year Term Loan from Adjusted SOFR plus 1.25% to Adjusted SOFR plus 2.15%. If our Operating Partnership obtains an investment grade rating of its senior unsecured long term debt from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Fitch, Inc., the applicable SOFR margin and base rate margin will vary based on such rating and range (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, from Adjusted SOFR plus

Table of Contents

0.825% to Adjusted SOFR plus 1.55%, (ii) in the case of the $400M 2025 5-Year Term Loan and the $150M 2026 7-Year Term Loan, from Adjusted SOFR plus 0.90% to Adjusted SOFR plus 1.75%. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides procedures for determining a replacement reference rate in the event that the benchmark index is discontinued.

Derivative Instruments

As discussed in Note 6, Interest Rate Contracts, to the consolidated financial statements, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variable cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt, including our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt and forecasted issuances of debt. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

The following table sets forth a summary of the interest rate swaps at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):


				Fair Value (1)				Current Notional Amounts

(1) 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. As of September 30, 2023, derivatives where in an asset/liability position are included in the line item “Interest rate swap assets” or “Interest rate swap liability,” in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

Common Equity

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

On July 17, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “DRP Registration Statement”) for the registration of up to $100 million in common shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”). On October 1, 2021, we announced a suspension of our DRP, effective October 11, 2021. As of September 30, 2023, we had sold 3,946,642 common shares for approximately $341.1 million under our DRP. On April 26, 2023, the Board approved a termination of the DRP, effective May 15, 2023. On May 22, 2023, we filed a post-effective amendment to the DRP Registration Statement to deregister all of the common shares registered for sale that were not sold pursuant to the DRP Registration Statement.

Share Redemption Program

Prior to its termination upon the Listing, the Company had adopted a share redemption program (“SRP”) that enabled shareholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The SRP was suspended on October 1, 2021 but resumed on a limited basis (i.e., limited to redemptions in connection with a holder’s death, disability or incompetence) on August 5, 2022 with quarterly redemptions capped at $5.0 million. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the SRP, during any calendar year, with respect to each share class, the Company was permitted to redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares of such class outstanding during the prior calendar year. Under the SRP the Company would redeem shares as of the last business day of each quarter at a price equal to the most recently published NAV per share for the applicable class prior to quarter end. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company redeemed 941 shares. The SRP was suspended again on March 7, 2023 and terminated in connection with the Listing.

Liquidity Requirements

Our principal liquidity needs for the next 12 months and in the longer term are to fund:

• normal recurring expenses;

• debt service and principal repayment obligations; including any maturing debt that we may be unable to refinance on attractive terms or at all;

• capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs;

• distributions to common shareholders, and distributions to holders of OP Units; and

• possible acquisition of properties.

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, as described above. The success of our business strategy will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to access these various capital sources.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements on a continuing basis, including the requirement that we annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As a result of this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are not REITs. If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to find alternative ways to fund those needs. Such alternatives may include, among other things, divesting ourselves of properties (whether or not the sales price is optimal or otherwise meets our strategic long-term objectives), incurring additional indebtedness or issuing equity securities in public or private transactions, the availability and attractiveness of the terms of which cannot be assured.

The Company’s material cash requirements as of September 30, 2023 including the following contractual obligations are as follows (in thousands):


	Payments Due During the Years Ending December 31,
	Total		Remaining 2023		Thereafter
Outstanding debt obligations (1)	$	1,448,224	$	1,524	$	1,446,700
Interest on outstanding debt obligations (2)	252,094		21,484		230,610
Ground lease obligations	263,676		719		262,957
Total	$	1,963,994	$	23,727	$	1,940,267

(1) Amounts only include principal payments. The payments on our mortgage debt do not include the premium/discount or debt financing costs.

(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts at September 30, 2023. Projected interest payments on the KeyBank Loans are based on the contractual interest rates in effect at September 30, 2023.

Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvement Commitments

As of September 30, 2023, we also had aggregate remaining contractual commitments for repositioning, capital expenditure projects, leasing commitments and tenant improvements of approximately $17.9 million.

Summary of Cash Flows

We expect to meet our short-term operating liquidity requirements with operating cash flows generated from our properties and draws from our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances increased by approximately $230.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period a year ago and were primarily used in or provided by the following (in thousands):

Net cash used in financing activities	$	(216,413)	$	(1,155,150)	$	938,737

Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily dependent on the occupancy level, the rental rates of our leases, the collectability of rent and recovery of operating expenses from our tenants, and the timing of acquisitions and dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated $58.8 million in cash from operating activities compared to $135.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the property dispositions that occurred in 2022 and 2023.

Distributions

Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our Board and paid to our shareholders as of the record date selected by our Board. We expect to pay distributions on a quarterly basis unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors inhibit us from doing so. The funds we receive from operations that are available for distribution may be affected by a number of factors, including the following:

• our operating and interest expenses;

• the amount of distributions or dividends received by us from our indirect real estate investments;

• our ability to keep our properties occupied;

• our ability to maintain or increase rental rates;

• tenant improvements, capital expenditures and reserves for such expenditures;

• the issuance of additional shares; and

• financings, refinancings, debt repayment and limitations on distributions under our KeyBank Loans and/or other mortgage loans and debt.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks include risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. We expect that one of the primary market risk to which we will be exposed is interest rate risk, including the risk of changes in the underlying rates on our variable rate debt. Our current indebtedness consists of the KeyBank Loans and other loans and property secured mortgages as described in Note 5, Debt , to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These instruments were not entered into for trading purposes.

Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we may borrow at fixed rates or variable rates. We may also utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements, caps, floors, and other interest rate exchange contracts. We will not enter into these financial instruments for speculative purposes. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.

As of September 30, 2023, our debt consisted of approximately $1.2 billion in fixed rate debt (including the interest rate swaps) and approximately $200.0 million in variable rate debt (excluding unamortized deferred financing cost and discounts, net, of approximately $6.2 million). As of December 31, 2022, our debt consisted of approximately $1.3 billion in fixed rate debt (including the effect of interest rate swaps) and approximately $200.0 million in variable rate debt (excluding unamortized deferred financing cost and discounts, net, of approximately $4.4 million). Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate debt. A change in interest rates on fixed rate debt impacts its fair value but has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on variable rate debt could affect the interest incurred and cash flows and its fair value.

Our future earnings and fair values relating to variable rate financial instruments are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as SOFR. However, our interest rate swap agreements are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes. The effect of an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates, assuming a SOFR floor of 0%, on our variable-rate debt, including our KeyBank Loans, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approxim ately $2.0 million annually.

Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of the above hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments, which does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur. 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, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
