Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is the lessee under several ground lease and its executive office lease agreements. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 31.0 years and the weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s lease liability is approximately 5.7%. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

During the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 began spreading globally, with the outbreak being classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The Company currently faces significant risks and uncertainties related to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. Certain tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and have requested rent deferrals or forgiveness during this pandemic. COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow which could result in (1) the Company’s tenants being  unable to fully meet their obligations and to seek modification of their obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible rents and a reduction in rental income, (2) difficulties in the Company’s future compliance with financial covenants in regards to its unsecured credit facilities, and (3) the recognition of impairments charges of the Company’s real estate.

 

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company collected 77% of contractual base rents and monthly tenant reimbursements, deferred approximately $2.0 million and waived approximately $0.4 million. To date, the weighted average payback period of deferred rent is approximately 10 months, beginning at various time commencing in July 2020 through March 2021. The Company currently remains in active discussions and negotiations with its impacted tenants and anticipates the need to grant additional rent concessions or other lease-related relief, such as the deferral of lease payments for a period of time to be paid over the remaining term of the lease. The nature and financial impact of such additional rent relief is currently unknown as negotiations are in progress. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at this time.
