We exceeded our acquisition expectations and maintained our discipline in underwriting, achieving a weighted average cap rate of 7.5% for these acquisitions. As we continue to accretively scale our platform, we also grew our enterprise value to $1.1 billion with stockholders’ equity of more than $500 million. This important milestone prompted the Board of Directors to form a special committee of independent and disinterested directors to evaluate a potential internalization transaction.”
