the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act and Section&nbsp;21E of the Exchange Act). Also, documents we subsequently file with the SEC and incorporate by reference will contain
forward-looking statements. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, our pro forma information and our statements regarding
anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics and results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on
them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will
happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148;

identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. 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: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (&#147;MGCL&#148;) and our charter and bylaws, as amended and supplemented from time to time. This description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our
charter and bylaws and the MGCL. Copies of our existing charter and bylaws are filed with the SEC and are incorporated herein by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See &#147;Where You Can Find

increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of stock or the number of authorized shares of stock of any class or series. As of December&nbsp;31, 2023, 211,278,803 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. </P>

other class or series of stock and to the provisions of our charter regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock, holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends on such stock if, as and when authorized by
our board of directors out of assets legally available therefor and declared by us and to share ratably in the assets of our company legally available for distribution to our stockholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up
after payment of or adequate provision for all known debts and liabilities of our company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Provisions of Our Charter </B></P>

specified in the terms of any class or series of our common stock, each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors and, except as
provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of such shares will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our board of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. </P>

on the matter. However, our operating assets may be held by our subsidiaries and these subsidiaries may be able to transfer all of their assets without any vote of our stockholders. </P>

distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption for each such class or series. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Power to Increase Authorized Stock and Issue

the number of authorized shares of stock or the number of authorized shares of stock of any class or series, (2)&nbsp;cause us to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and (3)&nbsp;classify or reclassify unissued shares
of our common stock and thereafter to cause us to issue such classified or reclassified shares of stock will provide us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might
arise. The additional classes or series, as well as the common stock, will be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder consent is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. Although our board of directors does not currently intend to do so, it could authorize us to issue a class or series of stock that could, depending upon the terms of the particular

stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our charter. A copy of our charter is filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference herein. See &#147;Where You Can Find More

stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable
year. Also, not more than 50% of the value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (for this purpose, the term &#147;individual&#148; includes a supplemental unemployment compensation
benefit plan, a private foundation or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable purposes, but generally does not include a qualified pension plan or profit sharing trust) during the last half of a taxable year
(other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and
transfer of our common stock and outstanding capital stock which are intended to assist us in complying with these requirements and continuing to qualify as a REIT, among other purposes. The relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to
the exceptions described below, no person or entity (other than a designated investment entity) may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 7.0% (by value or by
number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding common stock (the common stock ownership limit) or 7.0% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding capital stock (the aggregate stock
ownership limit). No designated investment entity (as defined in our charter) may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% (by value or by number of shares,
whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding common stock or 9.8% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding capital stock. We refer to these restrictions as the &#147;ownership limits.&#148; In
addition, different excepted holder ownership limits apply to the family of Kenneth M. Woolley, our Chairman, and certain of his affiliates, family members and estates and trusts formed for the benefit of the foregoing, and Spencer F. Kirk, a
director and our former Chief Executive Officer, and certain of his affiliates, family members and estates and trusts formed for the benefit of the foregoing. A person or entity that becomes subject to the ownership limit by virtue of a violative
transfer that results in a transfer to a trust, as set forth below, is referred to as a &#147;purported beneficial transferee&#148; if, had the violative transfer been effective, the person or entity would have been a record owner and beneficial
owner or solely a beneficial owner of our common stock, or is referred to as a &#147;purported record transferee&#148; if, had the violative transfer been effective, the person or entity would have been solely a record owner of our common stock.

setting the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, any vacancy may be filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose, only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not
constitute a quorum, and the director elected to fill the vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of our directors is elected by our common stockholders entitled to vote to serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors
are duly elected and qualify. Pursuant to our bylaws, directors in uncontested elections are elected upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee at a duly called meeting of stockholders, and directors
in contested elections are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast. In both uncontested and contested elections, holders of shares of our common stock have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Consequently, at each
annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote will be able to elect all of our directors (subject to the rights of our preferred stock and any other class or series of stock to elect
directors). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Removal of Directors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter provides that, subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock to elect or remove one or more
directors, a director may be removed only for cause (as defined in our charter) and only by the affirmative vote of at least <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the votes of stockholders entitled to be cast generally in the
election of directors. This provision, when coupled with the exclusive power of our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors except upon the existence of cause for removal and a
substantial affirmative vote, and filling the vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Business Combinations </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the MGCL, certain &#147;business combinations&#148; (including a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or, in certain

stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by
holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2)&nbsp;two-thirds</FONT> of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested

other conditions, the corporation&#146;s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as

foregoing, and Spencer F. Kirk, his affiliates and associates and all persons acting in concert with the foregoing, from these provisions of the MGCL and, consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply
to business combinations between us and any person described above. As a result, any person described above may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders without compliance by our
company with the supermajority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Control Share Acquisitions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The MGCL provides that holders of &#147;control shares&#148; of a Maryland corporation acquired in a &#147;control share acquisition&#148; have
no voting rights with respect to the control shares except to the extent approved at a special meeting by the affirmative vote of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-thirds</FONT> of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of
stock in a corporation in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of shares of stock of the corporation in the election of directors: (1)&nbsp;a person who makes or proposes to
make a control share acquisition, (2)&nbsp;an officer of the corporation or (3)&nbsp;an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation. &#147;Control shares&#148; are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other
such shares of stock owned by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing
directors within one of the following ranges of voting power: <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(a)&nbsp;one-tenth</FONT> or more but less than <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-third,</FONT>
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(b)&nbsp;one-third</FONT> or more but less than a majority, or (c)&nbsp;a majority or more of all voting power. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having
previously obtained stockholder approval. A &#147;control share acquisition&#148; means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A person who has made, or proposes to make, a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to
pay expenses), may compel our board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand and undertaking to pay expenses to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the
corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the
acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have
previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved or,
if no such meeting is held, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled
to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.

corresponding Treasury Regulations that relate to qualification and taxation as a REIT are highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth certain material aspects of the sections of the Code that govern the U.S. federal income tax
treatment of a REIT and its stockholders. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof. Potential tax reforms may result in significant
changes to the rules governing U.S. federal income taxation. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations and practices and/or court decisions may significantly and adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our common stock, including those described in this discussion. Moreover, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities,
or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT. Any such changes could apply retroactively to transactions preceding the date of the change. We have
not requested, and do not plan to request, any rulings from the IRS that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this prospectus are not binding on the IRS or any court. Thus, we can provide no assurance that the tax considerations contained in
this discussion will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the IRS. This summary does not discuss any state, local or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> tax consequences, or any tax consequences

requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. It must be emphasized that this
opinion was based on various assumptions and representations as to factual matters, including representations made by us in a factual certificate provided by one of our officers. In addition, this opinion was based upon our factual representations
set forth in this prospectus. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, which are discussed below, including through actual operating results, asset
composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the results of which have not been and will not be reviewed by Latham&nbsp;&amp; Watkins LLP. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual results of operations for any
particular taxable year have satisfied or will satisfy those requirements. Further, the anticipated U.S. federal income tax treatment described herein may be changed, perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any

the requirements for our qualification as a REIT. We are an indirect limited partner or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-managing</FONT> member in some of the subsidiary partnerships. If a partnership in which we directly or indirectly own an
interest takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership could take an action which
could cause us to fail a gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In such a case, we could fail to qualify
as a REIT unless we were entitled to relief, as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may from time to time own and operate certain properties through
wholly-owned subsidiaries that we intend to be treated as &#147;qualified REIT subsidiaries&#148; under the Code. A corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will qualify as our qualified REIT
subsidiary if we own 100% of the corporation&#146;s outstanding stock and do not elect with the subsidiary to treat it as a &#147;taxable REIT subsidiary,&#148; as described below. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not treated as a separate
corporation, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the parent REIT for all
purposes under the Code, including all REIT qualification tests. Thus, in applying the U.S. federal income tax requirements described in this discussion, any qualified REIT subsidiaries we own are ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of such corporations are treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. A qualified REIT subsidiary is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, and our ownership of
the stock of a qualified REIT subsidiary will not violate the restrictions on ownership of securities, as described below under &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; This treatment also applies to other subsidiaries of a REIT that are treated as
corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such as the business trusts we own. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Ownership of Interests in Taxable REIT
Subsidiaries.</I> We currently hold an interest in a number of taxable REIT subsidiaries, and we may acquire securities in additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation (or other entity treated as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. If a taxable REIT subsidiary owns
more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care
facilities, a taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services to tenants of its parent REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to
U.S. federal income tax as a regular C corporation. A REIT is not treated as holding the assets of a taxable REIT subsidiary or as receiving any income that the taxable REIT subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock issued by the taxable REIT subsidiary
is an asset in the hands of the REIT, and the REIT generally recognizes as income the dividends, if any, that it receives from the taxable REIT subsidiary. A REIT&#146;s ownership of securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary is not subject to the 5%
or 10% asset test described below. See &#147;&#151;Asset Tests.&#148; Taxpayers are subject to a limitation on their ability to deduct net business interest generally equal to 30% of adjusted taxable income, subject to certain exceptions. See
&#147;&#151;Annual Distribution Requirements.&#148; While not certain, this provision may limit the ability of our taxable REIT subsidiaries to deduct interest, which could increase their taxable income. </P>

identified as a hedging transaction as specified in the Code will not constitute gross income under, and thus will be exempt from, the 75% and 95% gross income tests. The term &#147;hedging transaction,&#148; as used above, generally means

transactions, where any portion of the property or indebtedness which was the subject of the prior hedging transaction was extinguished or disposed of. To the extent that we do not properly identify such transactions as hedges or we hedge with other
types of financial instruments, the income from those transactions is not likely to be treated as qualifying income for purposes of the gross income tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our

derive our allocable share of royalty income earned by our operating partnership from one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries on account of its insurance business. Such royalty income will not qualify under the 95% or 75% gross income tests. The

not due to reasonable cause. If these relief provisions do not apply to a particular set of circumstances, we will not qualify as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Failure to Qualify&#148; below. As discussed above in &#147;&#151;General,&#148; even if these

income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax, unless certain safe harbor exceptions apply. This prohibited transaction income may also adversely affect our ability to satisfy the gross income tests for qualification as
a REIT. Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular
transaction. As the indirect general partner of our operating partnership, we intend to cause our operating partnership to hold its properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing
and owning its properties and to make occasional sales of the properties as are consistent with our investment objectives. Except as provided below, we do not intend, and do not intend to permit our operating partnership or its subsidiary
partnerships, to enter into any sales that are prohibited transactions. However, the IRS may successfully contend that some or all of the sales made by our operating partnership or its subsidiary partnerships are prohibited transactions. We would be
required to pay the 100% penalty tax on our allocable share of the gains resulting from any such sales. We are an indirect partner in certain partnerships which sell locks, boxes and packing materials to tenants. We report our allocable share of the
income from these activities as prohibited transaction income. The 100% penalty tax will not apply to gains from the sale of assets that are held through a taxable REIT subsidiary, but such income will be subject to regular U.S. federal corporate
income tax. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Penalty Tax</I>. Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest or redetermined TRS service income we

and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours for amounts paid to us that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm&#146;s length negotiations, and redetermined TRS
service income is income of a taxable REIT subsidiary that is understated as a result of services provided to us or on our behalf. Rents we receive will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions contained

U.S. government securities. For purposes of this test, the term &#147;real estate assets&#148; generally means real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property or on both real property and, to a limited
extent, personal property), shares (or transferable certificates of beneficial interest) in other REITs, any stock or debt instrument attributable to the investment of the proceeds of a stock offering or a public offering of debt with a term of at

&#147;straight debt&#148; safe harbor, securities issued by a partnership that itself would satisfy the 75% income test if it were a REIT, any loan to an individual or an estate, any obligation to pay rents from real property and any security issued
by a REIT. In addition, solely for purposes of the 10% value test, the determination of our interest in the assets of a partnership in which we own an interest will be based on our proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership,
excluding for this purpose certain securities described in the Code. From time to time we may own securities (including debt securities) of issuers that do not qualify as a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary or a taxable REIT subsidiary. We intend
that our ownership of any such securities will be structured in a manner that allows us to comply with the asset tests described above. </P>

securities of such companies. We believe that the aggregate value of our taxable REIT subsidiaries has not exceeded, and in the future will not exceed, 20% (25% for taxable years beginning after July&nbsp;30, 2008 and before January&nbsp;1, 2018) of

pursuant to which mezzanine loans meeting the requirements of the safe harbor will be treated by the IRS as real estate assets for purposes of the REIT asset tests. In addition, any interest derived from such mezzanine loans will be treated as
qualifying mortgage interest for purposes of the 75% gross income test (described above). Although the Revenue Procedure provides a safe harbor on which taxpayers may rely, it does not prescribe rules of substantive tax law. The mezzanine loans that
we make or acquire may not meet all of the requirements of the safe harbor. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the qualification of such assets as real estate assets or the interest generated by these loans as

of such issuer (including as a result of an increase in our interest in any partnership that owns such securities). For example, our indirect ownership of securities of each issuer will increase as a result of our capital contributions to our
operating partnership or as limited partners exercise any redemption/exchange rights. Also, after initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our status as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end
of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to satisfy an asset test because we acquire securities or other property during a quarter (including as a result of an increase in our interest in any partnership), we may
cure this failure by disposing of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We believe that we have maintained, and we intend to maintain, adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with
the asset tests. If we fail to cure any noncompliance with the asset tests within the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> cure period, we would cease to qualify as a REIT unless we are eligible for certain relief provisions discussed

required to pay on any gain we recognize from the disposition of any asset we acquired from a corporation that is or has been a C corporation in a transaction in which our tax basis in the asset is less than the fair market value of the asset, in
each case determined as of the date on which we acquired the asset, within the five-year period following our acquisition of such asset, as described above under &#147;&#151;General.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as provided below, a taxpayer&#146;s deduction for net business interest expense will generally be limited to 30% of its taxable
income, as adjusted for certain items of income, gain, deduction or loss. Any business interest deduction that is disallowed due to this limitation may be carried forward to future taxable years, subject to special rules applicable to partnerships.
If we or any of our subsidiary partnerships (including our operating partnership) are subject to this interest expense limitation, our REIT taxable income for a taxable year may be increased. Taxpayers that conduct certain real estate businesses may
elect not to have this interest expense limitation apply to them, provided that they use an alternative depreciation system to depreciate certain property. We believe that we or any of our subsidiary partnerships that are subject to this interest
expense limitation will be eligible to make this election. If such election is made, although we or such subsidiary partnership, as applicable, would not be subject to the interest expense limitation described above, depreciation deductions may be
reduced and, as a result, our REIT taxable income for a taxable year may be increased. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We generally must pay, or be treated as paying,
the distributions described above in the taxable year to which they relate. At our election, a distribution will be treated as paid in a taxable year if it is declared before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the
first regular dividend payment after such declaration, provided such payment is made during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-month</FONT> period following the close of such year. These distributions are treated as received by our stockholders
in the year in which they are paid. This is so even though these distributions relate to the prior year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement. In order to be taken into account for purposes of our distribution requirement, except as
provided below, the amount distributed must not be preferential&#151;<I>i.e.</I>, every stockholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other stockholder of that class, and no class of stock may be
treated other than according to its dividend rights as a class. This preferential dividend limitation will not apply to distributions made by us, provided we qualify as a &#147;publicly offered REIT.&#148; We believe that we are, and expect we will
continue to be, a publicly offered REIT. However, Subsidiary REITs we may own from time to time may not be publicly offered REITs. To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital gain, or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%,
of our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, we will be required to pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on the undistributed amount. We believe that we have made, and we intend to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy
these annual distribution requirements and to minimize our corporate tax obligations. In this regard, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership authorizes ESS Holdings Business Trust I, our wholly owned subsidiary and the general
partner of our operating partnership, and us, as the indirect general partner of our operating partnership, to take such steps as may be necessary to cause our operating partnership to distribute to its partners an amount sufficient to permit us to
meet these distribution requirements and to minimize our corporate tax obligation. </P>

distribution requirements described above. However, from time to time, we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment
of deductible expenses, and the inclusion of income and deduction of expenses in determining our taxable income. In addition, we may decide to retain our cash, rather than distribute it, in order to repay debt or for other reasons. If these timing
differences occur, we may borrow funds to pay dividends or pay dividends in the form of taxable stock distributions in order to meet the distribution requirements, while preserving our cash. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under some circumstances, we may be able to rectify an inadvertent failure to meet the 90% distribution requirement for a year by paying

subject to the 4% excise tax described below. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based upon the amount of any deduction claimed for deficiency dividends. While the payment of a deficiency dividend will apply to a prior year for
purposes of our REIT distribution requirements, it will be treated as an additional distribution to our stockholders in the year such dividend is paid. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we discover a violation of a provision of the Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT, certain specified cure provisions
may be available to us. Except with respect to violations of the gross income tests and asset tests (for which the cure provisions are described above), and provided the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, these cure
provisions generally impose a $50,000 penalty for each violation in lieu of a loss of REIT status. If we fail to satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, and the relief provisions do not apply, we will be required to pay
regular U.S. federal corporate income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT will not be deductible by us. As a result, we
anticipate that our failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce the cash available for distribution by us to our stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be required to distribute any amounts to our stockholders and all
distributions to stockholders will be taxable as regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. In such event, corporate stockholders may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. In addition, <FONT

U.S. federal income tax purposes are &#147;pass-through&#148; entities which are not required to pay U.S. federal income tax. Rather, partners of such partnerships are allocated their shares of
the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the partnership, and are potentially required to pay tax on this income, without regard to whether they receive a distribution from the partnership. We will include in our income our share of
these partnership items for purposes of the various gross income tests, the computation of our REIT taxable income, and the REIT distribution requirements. Moreover, for purposes of the asset tests, we will include our pro rata share of assets held
by our operating partnership, including its share of the assets of its subsidiary partnerships, based on our capital interests in each such entity. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our Company&#151;Ownership of Interests in Partnerships, Limited
Liability Companies and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries.&#148; A disregarded entity is not treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of a
disregarded entity are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of its parent that is not a disregarded entity (e.g., our operating partnership) for all purposes under the Code, including all REIT
qualification tests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Entity Classification</I>. Our interests in our operating partnership and the subsidiary partnerships and limited
liability companies involve special tax considerations, including the possibility that the IRS might challenge the status of these entities as partnerships or disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For example, an entity that
would otherwise be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes may nonetheless be taxable as a corporation if it is a &#147;publicly traded partnership,&#148; or PTP, and certain other requirements are met. A partnership would be
treated as a PTP if its interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or a substantial equivalent thereof, within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations. Interests in a partnership are
not treated as readily tradable on a secondary market, or the substantial equivalent thereof, if the requirements of certain safe harbors are met. The operating partnership or any subsidiary partnership may avoid becoming a PTP by complying with one
or more of these safe harbors. However, no assurance can be given that the operating partnership or any subsidiary partnership will always satisfy such a safe harbor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If our operating partnership or any subsidiary partnership fails to satisfy a safe harbor from treatment as a PTP, due to the redemption
rights (if any) of its partners and other provisions of its partnership agreement, it is possible that in certain circumstances the operating partnership or such subsidiary partnership could be treated as a PTP. If the operating partnership or a
subsidiary partnership is treated as a PTP and 90% or more of the operating partnership&#146;s or such subsidiary partnership&#146;s gross income consists of dividends, interest, &#147;rents from real property&#148; (as that term is defined for
purposes of the rules applicable to REITs, with certain modifications), gain from the sale or other disposition of real property, and certain other types of qualifying income, the operating partnership or such subsidiary partnership, as applicable,
would continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes under what we refer to as the &#147;Qualifying Income Exception.&#148; However, partners in a PTP meeting the Qualifying Income Exception may not use their share of
passive income or loss of the PTP to offset their passive income or loss from other sources. We, as the indirect general partner of our operating partnership, have the authority to allow the operating partnership to become a PTP, provided the
operating partnership would satisfy the Qualifying Income Exception (as we believe would be the case). While the operating partnership currently plans to comply with certain safe harbors under the Treasury Regulations to avoid PTP status, we may
allow the operating partnership to become a PTP in the future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If our operating partnership or any of our subsidiary partnerships were to
be treated as a PTP, and failed to satisfy the Qualifying Income Exception, that partnership would be taxable as a corporation. If that were to occur, the partnership would be required to pay an entity-level tax on its income. In this situation, the
character of our assets and items of gross income would change and could prevent us from satisfying the REIT asset tests and possibly the REIT income tests. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our Company&#151;Asset Tests&#148; and &#147;&#151;Income
Tests.&#148; This, in turn, could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. See &#147;&#151;Taxation of Our Company&#151;Failure to Qualify&#148; for a discussion of the effect of our failure to meet these tests. In addition, a change in the tax status
of our operating partnership or a subsidiary treated as a partnership or disregarded entity to a corporation might be treated as a taxable event. If so, we might incur a tax liability without any related cash payment. </P>

than with respect to capital gain dividends and certain amounts which have previously been subject to corporate level tax, as discussed below, will be taxable to our taxable U.S. holders as ordinary income when actually or constructively received.
See &#147;&#151;Tax Rates&#148; below. As long as we qualify as a REIT, these distributions will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of U.S. holders that are corporations or, except to the extent described in
&#147;&#151;Tax Rates&#148; below, the preferential rates on qualified dividend income applicable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders, including individuals. For purposes of determining whether distributions to
holders of our capital stock are out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, our earnings and profits will be allocated first to our outstanding preferred stock, if any, and then to our outstanding common stock. </P>

the U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in such shares of stock by such amount, but not below zero. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in its shares
will be taxable as capital gain. Such gain will be taxable as long-term capital gain if the shares have been held for more than one year. Dividends we declare in October, November, or December of any year and which are payable to a holder of record
on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both paid by us and received by the holder on December&nbsp;31 of that year, provided we actually pay the dividend on or before January&nbsp;31 of the following year. U.S. holders may not
include in their own income tax returns any of our net operating losses or capital losses. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. holders that receive taxable stock distributions, including distributions partially
payable in our common stock and partially payable in cash, would be required to include the full amount of the distribution (i.e., the cash and the stock portion) as a dividend (subject to limited exceptions) to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described above. The amount of any distribution payable in our common stock generally is equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of the common stock.
Depending on the circumstances of a U.S. holder, the tax on the distribution may exceed the amount of the distribution received in cash, in which case such U.S. holder would have to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If a U.S. holder sells
the common stock it received in connection with a taxable stock distribution in order to pay this tax and the proceeds of such sale are less than the amount required to be included in income with respect to the stock portion of the distribution,
such U.S. holder could have a capital loss with respect to the stock sale that could not be used to offset such income. A U.S. holder that receives common stock pursuant to such distribution generally has a tax basis in such common stock equal to
the amount of cash that could have been received instead of such common stock as described above, and has a holding period in such common stock that begins on the day immediately following the payment date for the distribution. </P>

holders as a gain from the sale or disposition of a capital asset held for more than one year, to the extent that such gain does not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year and may not exceed our dividends paid for the taxable year,
including dividends paid the following year that are treated as paid in the current year. U.S. holders that are corporations may, however, be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. If we properly designate
any portion of a dividend as a capital gain dividend, then, except as otherwise required by law, we presently intend to allocate a portion of the total capital gain dividends paid or made available to holders of all classes of our capital stock for
the year to the holders of each class of our capital stock in proportion to the amount that our total dividends, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid or made available to the holders of each such class of our capital stock for
the year bears to the total dividends, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid or made available to holders of all classes of our capital stock for the year. In addition, except as otherwise required by law, we will make a similar
allocation with respect to any undistributed long-term capital gains which are to be included in our stockholders&#146; long-term capital gains, based on the allocation of the capital gain amount which would have resulted if those undistributed
long-term capital gains had been distributed as &#147;capital gain dividends&#148; by us to our stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Retention of Net Capital

U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition and the holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the shares. This gain or
loss, except as provided below, will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held such common stock for more than one year. However, if a U.S. holder recognizes a loss upon the sale or other disposition of common stock that it has held
for six months or less, after applying certain holding period rules, the loss recognized will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent the U.S. holder received distributions from us which were required to be treated as long-term capital

gains and on designations which we may make, certain capital gain dividends may be taxed at a 25% rate) and (2) &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; generally is 20%. In general, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the reduced tax rate
on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding period requirements have been met and the REIT&#146;s dividends are attributable to dividends received from taxable corporations (such as its taxable REIT subsidiaries) or to
income that was subject to tax at the corporate/REIT level (for example, if the REIT distributed taxable income that it retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year). Capital gain dividends will only be eligible for the preferential rates
described above to the extent that they are properly designated by the REIT as &#147;capital gain dividends.&#148; U.S. holders that are corporations may be required to treat up to 20% of any capital gain dividends as ordinary income. In addition,
for taxable years beginning before January&nbsp;1, 2026, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders, including individuals, generally may deduct up to 20% of &#147;qualified REIT dividends&#148; (generally, dividends from a
REIT received during the taxable year other than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income) for purposes of determining their U.S. federal income tax (but not for purposes of the 3.8% Medicare tax), subject to certain
limitations. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, in order for a REIT dividend received with respect to a share of REIT stock to be treated as a qualified REIT dividend, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holder must
have held the share for more than 45&nbsp;days during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">91-day</FONT> period beginning on the date which is 45 days before the date on which such share becomes <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ex-dividend</FONT>
with respect to such dividend, and such dividend will not be treated as a qualified REIT dividend to the extent that the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holder is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or
otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Taxation of <FONT

are treated as effectively connected with the conduct by the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the <FONT

apply to dividends from a REIT. Certain certification and disclosure requirements must be satisfied for a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder to be exempt from withholding under the effectively connected income exemption.
Dividends that are treated as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business generally will not be subject to withholding but will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at the regular rates, in the same manner as dividends paid
to U.S. holders are subject to U.S. federal income tax. Any such dividends received by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (applicable

withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on our common stock or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, in each case paid to a &#147;foreign financial
institution&#148; or a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-financial</FONT> foreign entity&#148; (each as defined in the Code), unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations,

institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by
certain &#147;specified United States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to <FONT

may be subject to different rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA
generally applies to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, proposed Treasury
Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Because we may not know the extent to which a
distribution is a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes at the time it is made, for purposes of these withholding rules we may treat the entire distribution as a dividend. </P>

behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by us if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other matters, that we indemnify our directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by
law and advance to the directors and executive officers all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted. Under these agreements, we must also indemnify and advance all expenses
incurred by directors and executive officers seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements and may cover directors and executive officers under our directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. Although
indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded the bylaws, they provide greater assurance to directors and executive officers that indemnification will be available, because, as contracts, they cannot be modified
unilaterally in the future by the board of directors to eliminate the rights they provide. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit
indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is therefore unenforceable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amended and restated partnership agreement of the operating partnership requires it to indemnify us,
our affiliates and any individual or entity acting on our behalf against any loss or damage, including legal fees and court costs incurred by the person, by reason of anything it may do or refrain from doing for or on behalf of the operating
partnership or in connection with its business or affairs unless it is determined that indemnification is not permitted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&#8201;16.</B><B><I>
