Business Description | 1. Business Description Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Corporation focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties, primarily in the United States. The Corporation leases industrial, healthcare, restaurant, office, retail, and other commercial properties under long-term lease agreements. At December 31, 2019, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of 646 individual commercial properties located in 41 states throughout the continental United States and in British Columbia, Canada. Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the Corporation’s operating company, or the “OP”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member of the OP. The remaining membership units in the OP (“OP Units”), which are referred to as non-controlling interests, are held by members who acquired their interest by contributing property to the OP in exchange for OP Units. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the OP, it is structured as what is referred to as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The following table summarizes the economic ownership interest in the OP:
|  | December 31, |
Percentage of shares owned by |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Corporation |  |  | 93.7 | % |  |  | 92.7 | % |  |  | 92.4 | %
Non-controlling interests |  |  | 6.3 | % |  |  | 7.3 | % |  |  | 7.6 | %
|  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | % |  |  | 100.0 | %
The Corporation operates under the direction of its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), which is responsible for the management and control of the Company’s (as defined below) affairs. For all years presented in these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation was externally managed and its Board of Directors had retained the Corporation’s sponsor, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) to manage the Corporation’s day-to-day affairs, to implement the Corporation’s investment strategy, and to provide certain property management services for the Corporation’s properties, subject to the Board of Directors’ direction, oversight, and approval. The Asset Manager was a wholly owned subsidiary of BRE and all of the Corporation’s officers were employees of BRE. Accordingly, both BRE and the Asset Manager were related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion concerning related parties and related party transactions conducted during all periods presented and Note 19 for discussion of the Company’s internalization of management functions that occurred in February 2020.
