distribution agency agreements with each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (who we refer to individually as a sales agent and collectively as the sales agents) and
the related forward purchasers (as defined below) relating to the offer and sale of our common shares, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000,000. The common shares offered by this prospectus supplement
consist of common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000,000 previously registered but unsold under a prospectus supplement dated May&nbsp;13, 2022 to the prospectus dated May&nbsp;14, 2020. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the offer and sale of our common shares through or to any of the sales agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with any of the
sales agents, or their respective affiliates. We refer to these entities, when acting in this capacity, individually as a forward purchaser and collectively as the forward purchasers. In connection with each particular forward sale agreement, we
expect that the relevant forward purchaser or its affiliate will borrow from third parties and, through the relevant sales agent, as forward seller, sell a number of our common shares equal to the number of our common shares underlying the
particular forward sale agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of borrowed common shares through a sales agent, as forward seller. We
currently expect to fully physically settle each particular forward sale agreement with the relevant forward purchaser on one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such particular forward sale agreement, in which case we
expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. However, we may also elect to cash settle or net share settle a
particular forward sale agreement, in which case we may not receive any proceeds, and we will instead receive or pay cash (in the case of cash settlement) or receive or deliver common shares (in the case of net share settlement). See &#147;Plan of
Distribution&#148; herein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;) and trade under the symbol &#147;CPT.&#148; The
closing price of our common shares as reported on the NYSE on May&nbsp;19, 2023 was $106.50 per share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The common shares to which this prospectus
supplement relates may be offered and sold through or to the sales agents over a period of time and from time to time. Sales of the common shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers&#146; transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Accordingly, an indeterminate number of our common shares will be sold up to the number of shares having an aggregate offering price
of up to $500,000,000. Each respective sales agent will be entitled to a commission which will not exceed, but may be lower than, 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds of any common shares sold through it. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:8pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also may sell some or all of the common shares to a sales agent as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell
common shares to a sales agent as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement setting for the terms of such transaction, and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No sales agent is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of our common shares, but, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable
distribution agency agreement and unless otherwise agreed by us, the applicable sales agent and any applicable forward purchaser, each sales agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the common shares offered, as instructed by us.
There is no arrangement for common shares to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. The offering of common shares pursuant to each distribution agency agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1)&nbsp;the sale of our common
shares having an aggregate offering price of $500,000,000 under the distribution agency agreements or (2)&nbsp;with respect to a particular distribution agency agreement, the termination of such distribution agency agreement by us, the applicable
sales agent or the applicable forward purchaser. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:8pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P><center>

generally, no gain or loss is recognized by a corporation in dealing in its own stock, including pursuant to a &#147;securities futures contract.&#148; Although we believe any amount received by us in exchange for our common shares would qualify for
the exemption under Section&nbsp;1032 of the Code, it is unclear whether a cash settlement of the forward sale agreement would also qualify for such exemption. In the event we recognize a significant gain from the cash settlement of a forward sale
agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code. In the event we are required to make a significant payment in cash to settle a forward agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the
distribution requirements applicable to REITs under the Code, absent additional debt or equity financing. While we would not anticipate electing the cash settlement option under any forward sale agreement, such a cash settlement election could
result in our failure to satisfy the REIT income tests or distribution requirements. In such case, we may be able to rely upon the relief provisions under the Code in order to avoid the loss of our REIT status. In the event these relief provisions
were not available, we could lose our REIT status under the Code. </P>

proceeds of any common shares sold through it as forward seller. We sometimes refer to such commissions as the forward selling commissions. The borrowed common shares will be sold during a period of consecutive trading days determined by us in our

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The forward sale price per share under each forward sale agreement will initially equal the product of (i)&nbsp;an amount equal to one minus

our common shares during the term of the particular forward sale agreement. If the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price for such day.

net share settlement of such forward sale agreement, the shares issuable upon settlement of such particular forward sale agreement will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share, FFO per share, Core FFO per share, and Core AFFO per share
calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share, FFO per share, Core FFO per share, and Core AFFO per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any,
of the number of common shares which would be issued upon full physical settlement of such particular forward sale agreement over the number of common shares which could be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the

we anticipate there will be no dilutive effect on our earnings per share, FFO per share, Core FFO per share, or Core AFFO per share except during periods when the average market price of our common shares is above the applicable adjusted forward
sale price under such particular forward sale agreement. However, if we physically or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement, the delivery by us of our common shares would result in an increase in the number of shares outstanding and
dilution to our earnings per share, FFO per share, Core FFO per share, and Core AFFO per share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under limited circumstances

settlement, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under a particular forward sale agreement if we conclude that it is in our interest to do so. For example, we

accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. </P>

be used to repay borrowings under our $1.2&nbsp;billion unsecured revolving credit facility or our $300&nbsp;million unsecured delayed term loan, for the repayment of other indebtedness or for the redemption or other repurchase of outstanding debt
or equity securities. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or their affiliates,<B> </B>are lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured delayed term
loan, and any of the sales agents or their affiliates may, at any time, be holders of our other indebtedness or debt or equity securities. Such sales agent or its affiliate will therefore receive its proportionate share of any proceeds of this
offering or from the settlement of any forward sale agreement used to repay indebtedness under our unsecured revolving credit facility or our unsecured delayed term loan or other indebtedness, to the extent it is a lender thereunder, or redeem or
repurchase outstanding debt or equity securities, to the extent it is a holder thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we enter into a forward sale agreement with a
forward purchaser, we expect that such forward purchaser or its affiliate will borrow and sell, through the relevant sales agent, as forward seller, our common shares to hedge the relevant forward purchaser&#146;s exposure under such forward sale
agreement. All of the net proceeds from the sale of any such borrowed common shares will be paid to the relevant forward purchaser (or one or more of its affiliates). Such entity will be either a sales agent or its affiliate. As a result, a sales
agent or one of its affiliates will receive the net proceeds from any sale of borrowed common shares made in connection with any forward sale agreement. </P>

least 95% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, from real estate sources and from dividends, interest and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities or from any combination of the foregoing. We must
also derive at least 75% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property including rents from real property, gains on the disposition of real estate,
dividends paid by another REIT, interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property and, in particular circumstances, interest from particular types of temporary investments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rent derived from leases will be qualifying income under the REIT requirements, provided several requirements are satisfied. First, a lease
may not have the effect of giving us a share of the income or profits of the lessee (although the rent may be based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales). Second, the rent attributable to personal property that is leased in
connection with a lease of real property must not exceed 15% of the total rent received under the lease. If so, the portion of rent attributable to the personal property will not qualify as rents from real property. The test to determine the rent
attributable to personal property that is leased in connection with a lease of real property is based on relative fair market values. Third, in general, rents received from a related party tenant will not qualify as rents from real property. For
these purposes, a tenant will be a related party tenant if the REIT, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, owns 10% or more of the tenant&#146;s stock (by vote or value) if such tenant is a corporation, or 10% or more of the
tenant&#146;s assets or net profits if such tenant is not a corporation. However, we may lease property to a taxable REIT subsidiary and, provided an exception to the related party rent rules is applicable, the rents received from that subsidiary
will not be disqualified from being rents from real property by reason of our ownership interest in the subsidiary. We can avail ourselves of this exception to the related party rent rules so long as at least 90% of the leased space of the property
is rented to persons who are not related parties or taxable REIT subsidiaries and the taxable REIT subsidiary pays commercially reasonable rent which is substantially comparable to the rent paid by third parties. A taxable REIT subsidiary includes a
corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock and that has made a joint election with the REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. A corporation other than a REIT of which a taxable REIT subsidiary owns
directly or indirectly securities possessing greater than 35% of the total voting power or securities (other than certain &#147;straight debt&#148; securities) possessing greater than 35% of the total value, however, is automatically treated as a
taxable REIT subsidiary without an election. A taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to federal income tax at the corporate rate. Fourth, the REIT generally must not operate or manage its property or furnish or render services to tenants. However,
the REIT may provide customary services directly or provide <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services through either (i)&nbsp;a taxable REIT subsidiary or (ii)&nbsp;an independent contractor from whom the REIT derives no income;
provided that such independent contractor bears the cost of the services, a separate charge is made for such services, the amount of the separate charge is received and retained by such independent contractor and such independent contractor is
adequately compensated. Also, the REIT may provide <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services with respect to its properties as long as the income from the provision of these services with regard to each property does not exceed
1% of all amounts received by the REIT from each property. For purposes of the 1% threshold, the amount that a REIT will be treated as receiving for performing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-customary</FONT> services will be the greater of the

of the value of our total assets generally must consist of real estate assets, cash, cash items and 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) and shares (or transferable certificates of beneficial interest) in other REITs, as well as 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 least five years, but only for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-year</FONT> period beginning on the date the REIT receives such proceeds. For taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2015, the
term &#147;real estate assets&#148; also includes debt instruments of publicly offered REITs, personal property securing a mortgage secured by both real property and personal property if the fair market value of such personal property does not
exceed 15% of the total fair market value of all such property, and personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property for which the rent attributable to personal property is not greater than 15% of the total rent received under
the lease. Second, no more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities, other than securities in the 75% asset class. Third, with regard to these securities, the value of any one issuer&#146;s securities owned by us may not exceed
5% of the value of our total assets, unless the issuer is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and we may not own more than 10% of the voting power or value of any one issuer&#146;s outstanding securities, unless the issuer is a taxable REIT subsidiary or, in
the case of the 10% value test, we can avail ourselves of a safe harbor for &#147;straight debt.&#148; Fourth, no more than 20% of our total assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Fifth, no more than 25% of
our total assets may consist of debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs that qualify as &#147;real estate assets&#148; only because of the express inclusion of &#147;debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs&#148; in the
definition. We must satisfy the asset tests at the close of each quarter. If we fail an asset test as of the close of the quarter due to the acquisition of securities or other property during the quarter, we may satisfy this test by disposing of the
securities or other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> property within the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> period following the close of that quarter. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not
challenge our compliance with these tests. If we hold assets in violation of the applicable asset tests, and certain relief provisions do not apply, we would be disqualified as a REIT. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We currently own more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of several subsidiaries that have each elected to be a taxable
REIT subsidiary. It should be noted that the Code contains two provisions that ensure that taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to an appropriate level of federal income taxation. First, taxable REIT subsidiaries are limited in their ability to
deduct interest paid or accrued within the taxable year on its indebtedness. Second, if a taxable REIT subsidiary pays an amount to a REIT that exceeds the amount that would be paid to an unrelated party in an
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#146;s-length</FONT> transaction, the REIT generally will be subject to an excise tax equal to 100% of such excess. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mortgage loans will be qualifying assets for purposes of the 75% asset test unless the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan
exceeds the fair market value of the real property securing the loan, in which case a portion of such loan likely will not be a qualifying real estate asset under the federal income tax laws. The
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-qualifying</FONT> portion of that mortgage loan will be equal to the portion of the loan amount that exceeds the value of the associated real property. Accordingly, any mezzanine loans will not be qualifying
assets for purposes of the 75% asset test to the extent that they are not considered to be secured by mortgages on real property. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we

realize on the sale of property held as inventory or otherwise held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, including our share of any such gain realized by the Operating Partnerships, either directly or through their
subsidiary partnerships and limited liability companies, will be treated as 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. We intend to hold our properties and to cause the Operating Partnerships to hold their properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to
engage in the business of acquiring and owning properties and making occasional sales of the properties as are consistent with our investment objective. We do not intend, and do not intend to permit the Operating Partnerships or their subsidiary
partnerships or limited liability companies, to enter into any sales that are prohibited transactions. However, the Internal Revenue Service may successfully contend that some or all of the sales made by us, the Operating Partnerships or their
subsidiary partnerships or limited liability companies 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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest or redetermined taxable REIT subsidiary service income we generate will be
subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, redetermined rents are rents from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of our tenants by a taxable REIT subsidiary of ours, and redetermined deductions 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 taxable REIT
subsidiary 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

the partnership generally takes a carryover basis in that property for tax purposes equal to the adjusted basis of the contributing partner in the property, rather than a basis equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of
contribution. Under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction attributable to this contributed property must be allocated in a manner such that the contributing partner is charged with, or benefits from, respectively, the
unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at
the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. We will refer to this allocation as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;book-tax</FONT> difference.&#148; These allocations are solely for

Operating Partnership has received contributions of appreciated property. The partnership agreement of each Operating Partnership requires tax allocations to be made in a manner consistent with Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code. The Treasury
Regulations under Section&nbsp;704(c) of the Code provide partnerships with a choice of several methods of accounting for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">book-tax</FONT> differences for property contributed on or after December&nbsp;21, 1993,
including the retention of the traditional method that was available under prior law or the election of particular alternative methods. Each Operating Partnership has elected the traditional method of Section&nbsp;704(c) allocations. Under the
traditional method, which is the least favorable method from our perspective, the carryover basis of contributed interests in the properties in the hands of an Operating Partnership could cause us (a)&nbsp;to be allocated lower amounts of
depreciation deductions for tax purposes than would be allocated to us if such properties were to have a tax basis equal to their fair market value at the time of the contribution and (b)&nbsp;to be allocated taxable gain in the event of a sale of
such contributed interests in our properties in excess of the economic or book income allocated to us as a result of such sale, with a corresponding benefit to the other partners in such Operating Partnership. These allocations possibly could cause
us to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with REIT distribution requirements. However, we do not anticipate that this adverse effect will occur. </P>

generally be required to pay any imputed underpayments, including interest and penalties, resulting from an audit adjustment to the partnership&#146;s items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, or an adjustment to the allocation of such
items among the partners. Such imputed underpayments will be based on the highest individual or corporate income tax rate in effect for the year being audited, unless the partnership is able to establish that the underpayment is allocable to a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> partner or would have otherwise been taxed at a lower rate. In some cases, the partnership may be required to pay an imputed underpayment with respect to items of taxable income on which a partner has
previously paid tax. Although it is uncertain how certain aspects of these rules will be implemented, it is possible that they could result in partnerships in which we directly or indirectly invest being required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and we, as a direct or indirect partner of these partnerships, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest, and penalties even though we, as a REIT, may not otherwise have

Real Property Tax Act of 1980 if we are a &#147;domestically controlled qualified investment entity.&#148; A &#147;domestically controlled qualified investment entity&#148; is defined generally
as a REIT, in which at all times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or indirectly by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> persons. We believe, but cannot guarantee, that we are a
&#147;domestically controlled qualified investment entity,&#148; and, therefore, sales of our common shares or preferred shares will not be subject to taxation under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. However, because our common shares
and preferred shares are traded publicly, we may not continue to be a &#147;domestically controlled qualified investment entity.&#148; Furthermore, gain not subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act will be taxable to a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder if (a)&nbsp;investment in the common shares or preferred shares is effectively connected with the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder&#146;s U.S. trade or business, in which case
the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Holders with respect to such gain, or (b)&nbsp;the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder is a nonresident alien individual
who was present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year and other conditions are met, in which case the nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual&#146;s capital gains. In addition, even if we are a
domestically controlled qualified investment entity, upon disposition of our common shares or preferred shares, a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder may be treated as having gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of a
U.S. real property interest if the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder (1)&nbsp;disposes of such shares within a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> period preceding the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ex-dividend</FONT> date of a distribution, any portion of which, but for the disposition, would be treated as a gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest; and (2)&nbsp;acquires, or enters into a
contract or option to acquire, or is deemed to acquire, other shares during the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">61-day</FONT> period beginning with the first day of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">30-day</FONT> period described in clause (1),
subject to an exception applicable to &#147;regularly traded&#148; shares if the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder did not own more than 5% of our shares at any time during the five-year period ending on the date of the
distribution described in clause (1). If the gain on the sale of common shares or preferred shares were to be subject to taxation under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder
would be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Holders with respect to this gain. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder may, however, be subject to applicable alternative minimum tax, a special alternative minimum tax in the
case of nonresident alien individuals and the possible application of the 30% branch profits tax in the case of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> corporations. In addition, a purchaser of common shares or preferred shares subject to
taxation under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act would generally be required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 15% of the amount realized on the disposition by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder. Any amount
withheld would be creditable against the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> Holder&#146;s Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act tax liability. </P>

will not be subject to special withholding rules under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. In addition, a sale of our shares by a &#147;qualified foreign pension fund&#148; which holds such shares directly or indirectly (through one or
more partnerships) will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the

tests set forth in Section&nbsp;302(b) of the Code and is therefore treated as a sale or exchange of the redeemed or repurchased shares. If the redemption or repurchase of shares is treated as a distribution, the amount of the distribution will be
measured by the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received. If the redemption or repurchase of shares is not treated as a distribution, it will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange in the manner described above. </P>

that use the accrual method of tax accounting and prepare &#147;applicable financial statements&#148; will have to recognize income form their debt securities no later than the taxable year in which such income is taken into account as revenue in
their &#147;applicable financial statements.&#148; The Internal Revenue Service has issued final regulations stating that original issue discount and market discount will not be subject to these special timing rules. Such rules may require investors
to report income earlier than it would otherwise be recognized under the tax rules discussed below. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of such rules on their investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stated Interest and Market Discount</I>. Holders of debt securities will be required to include stated interest on the debt securities in
gross income for federal income tax purposes in accordance with their regular method of accounting for tax purposes. Purchasers of debt securities should be aware that the holding and disposition of debt securities may be affected by the market
discount provisions of the Code. These rules generally provide that if a holder of a debt security purchases it at a market discount and thereafter recognizes gain on a disposition of the debt security, including a gift or payment on maturity, the
lesser of the gain or appreciation, in the case of a gift, and the portion of the market discount that accrued while the debt security was held by the holder will be treated as ordinary interest income at the time of the disposition. For this
purpose, a purchase at a market discount includes a purchase after original issuance at a price below the debt security&#146;s stated principal amount. The market discount rules also provide that a holder who acquires a debt security at a market
discount and who does not elect to include the market discount in income on a current basis may be required to defer a portion of any interest expense that may otherwise be deductible on any indebtedness incurred or maintained to purchase or carry
the debt security until the holder disposes of the debt security in a taxable transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A holder of a debt security acquired at a
market discount may elect to include the market discount in income as the discount on the debt security accrues, either on a straight line basis, or, if elected, on a constant interest rate basis. The current inclusion election, once made, applies
to all market discount obligations acquired by the holder as of the first day of the taxable year for which the election is made and to all market discount instruments acquired thereafter and may not be revoked without the consent of the Internal
Revenue Service. If a holder of a debt security elects to include market discount in income in accordance with the preceding sentence, the foregoing rules with respect to the recognition of ordinary income on a sale or particular other dispositions
of such debt security and the deferral of interest deductions on indebtedness related to such debt security would not apply. </P>

of the debt security, the excess may constitute amortizable bond premium that the holder may elect to amortize under the constant yield method and deduct the amortized premium over the period from the holder&#146;s acquisition date to the debt
security&#146;s maturity date. If made, such an election will apply to all premium debt securities (other than those that pay <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> interest) that the holder owns as of the first day of the taxable year
for which the election is made and to any premium debt security that the holder acquires thereafter. A holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the tax basis in the related debt security by the amount of the aggregate deductions
allowable for amortizable bond premium. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amortizable bond premium deduction is treated as an offset to interest income on the related

(b)&nbsp;the holder&#146;s tax basis in the debt security as increased by any market discount previously included in income by the holder and decreased by any amortizable bond premium deducted over the term of the debt security. However, the amount

changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules related to the taxation of individuals and corporations. In addition to reducing corporate and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> tax rates, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated and
restricted various deductions and limited the ability to utilize net operating losses. Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary and apply only to taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, and before January&nbsp;1,
2026. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act made numerous large and small changes to the tax rules which do not affect REITs directly but may affect our securityholders and may indirectly affect us. On March&nbsp;27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted into law. Among other changes, the CARES Act made technical corrections, or temporary modifications, to certain of the provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. On August&nbsp;16, 2022, legislation
commonly referred to as the &#147;Inflation Reduction Act&#148; was enacted into law. Among other changes, the Inflation Reduction Act included a number of changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to corporations and their
securityholders, including imposing a 15% corporate minimum tax, based on adjusted financial statement income of certain &#147;applicable corporations&#148; and an excise tax of 1% on the fair market value of net stock repurchases (and economically
similar transactions) in excess of stock issuances made by publicly-traded corporations. These changes to the tax rules do not apply to REITs but may affect our securityholders and may indirectly affect us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The U.S. federal income tax rules are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue
Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. No assurance can be given as to whether, when, or in what form, the U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to us and our securityholders may be enacted. Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws and
interpretations of U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect an investment in our securities. Prospective securityholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other legal, regulatory,
and administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on investment in our securities. </P>
