| (1) | On December 9, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of LAACO, which included a 50% interest in Fontana and RCSS, each of which owns one self-storage property in California. As of the date of acquisition, the Company recognized differences between the Company’s equity investment in Fontana and RCSS and the underlying equity reflected at the venture level. As of December 31, 2022, this difference was $13.1 million for Fontana and $19.6 million for RCSS. These differences are being amortized over the expected useful life of the self-storage properties owned by the ventures.

Net proceeds to the venture from the transaction totaled $150.1 million, of which $49.9 million were distributed to the Company. The venture recorded gains which aggregated to approximately $114.1 million in connection with the sale. As of December 31, 2022, the venture retained cash of $3.5 million to pay venture-level expenses.
