(3) | Refer to "Key capital events" on page 3 of this Earnings Press Release for additional details. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into new forward equity sales agreements aggregating $2.3 billion to sell 12.3 million shares of our common stock, and settled a portion of these forward equity sales agreements by issuing 4.2 million shares and received net proceeds of $847.9 million. We expect to issue 8.0 million shares to settle our remaining outstanding forward equity sales agreements and receive net proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion in 4Q22. |
(4) | Updated guidance for occupancy percentage in North America as of December 31, 2022, reflects one property acquired in 3Q22 with 70,278 operating RSF that was occupied by the seller through September 30, 2022. |
(5) | Reduction in our guidance range for straight-line rent revenue by $5 million is primarily attributable to: i) completed and projected dispositions, and ii) the write-off of deferred rent in 3Q22 in connection with the early termination of one below-market lease aggregating 21,621 RSF, with no downtime in occupancy, at rental rate increases of 23% and 36% (cash basis). |
(6) | Represents cash expected to be held at December 31, 2022, which reduces our 2023 debt capital needs. |
