1. ORGANIZATION

Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (“we,” the “Company,” “PECO,” “our,” or “us”) was formed as a Maryland corporation in October 2009. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2009. We are a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center OP GP I LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests primarily in omni-channel grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers that have a mix of creditworthy national, regional, and local retailers that sell necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition to managing our own shopping centers, our third-party investment management business provides comprehensive real estate and asset management services to two unconsolidated institutional joint ventures, in which we have a partial ownership interest, and one private fund (collectively, the “Managed Funds”) as of September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, we wholly-owned 270 real estate properties. Additionally, we owned a 14% interest in Grocery Retail Partners I LLC (“GRP I”), a joint venture that owned 20 properties.

In May 2022, we sold the final property in our joint venture with Necessity Retail Partners (“NRP”), in which we own a 20% interest. We recognized no income during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $2.7 million in income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to NRP’s achievement of certain performance targets, which is included in Fees and Management Income in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (“consolidated statements of operations”).

Underwritten Initial Public Offering—On July 19, 2021, we closed our underwritten initial public offering (“underwritten IPO”), through which we issued 19.6 million shares, including the underwriters’ overallotment election, of a new class of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an initial price to the public of $28.00 per share. As a result of the underwritten IPO, we received gross proceeds of $547.4 million.
