real estate improvements capitalized in accordance with GAAP within the line item &ldquo;Acquisition of Real Estate and Intangible Lease
Assets and Liabilities&rdquo; on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the year ended December 31, 2023, capitalized expenditures
and improvements to existing real estate amounted to $22.6 million, which is the difference noted between the $102.9 million within the
line item &ldquo;Acquisition of Real Estate and Intangible Lease Assets and Liabilities&rdquo; on the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows and the $80.3 million of aggregate purchase price of 2023 acquisitions disclosed in Note 3. The Company modified the line-item description
in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows beginning with the Company&rsquo;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 2024 to &ldquo;Acquisition of Real Estate and Intangible Lease Assets and Liabilities, Including Capitalized Expenditures,&rdquo;
to clarify that capitalized expenditures are included. However, the Company acknowledges the Staff&rsquo;s comment and intends to further
enhance this disclosure by creating two distinct line items within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in future Annual Reports
on Form&nbsp;10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as follows:</P>
