Percentages of Contractual Rent Collected as of December 31, 2020

As of December 31, 2020, we had collected the following percentages of contractual rent for the periods set forth below:





                                         Month Ended   Month Ended    Month Ended    Quarter Ended
                                         October 31,   November 30,   December 31,   December 31,

(1) Collection rates are calculated as the aggregate contractual rent collected


     for the applicable period from the beginning of that applicable period
     through December 31, 2020 divided by the contractual rent charged for the
     applicable period. Rent collection percentages are calculated based on
     contractual rents (excluding percentage rents and tenant reimbursements).
     Charged amounts have not been adjusted for any COVID-19 related rent relief
     granted and include contractual rents from any tenants in bankruptcy. Due to
     differences in applicable foreign currency conversion rates and rent
     conventions, the percentages above may differ from percentages calculated
     utilizing our total portfolio annualized contractual rent.

(2) For information on how we define our "contractual rent," "contractual rent

collected," "annualized contractual rent," "top 20 tenants" and "investment

grade tenants," please see the immediately preceding paragraph. For purposes

of the foregoing table, our top 20 tenants and investment grade tenants were

determined as of November 30, 2020 for all periods.

We have either executed deferral agreements or maintain ongoing deferral discussions with tenants that account for a majority of the unpaid contractual rent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and for each of the months of October, November and December 2020. We are still in the preliminary stages of collecting rent for the month of January 2021. As a result, we cannot predict the number of tenants that will not pay rent for the month of January 2021, nor can we predict whether tenants who made contractual rent payments during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 or the months of October, November or December 2020 will pay rent or request rent deferrals thereafter. In addition, as the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread continue to evolve, the ability of our tenants to continue to pay rent to us may further diminish, and therefore we cannot assure you that our rental collections for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 or the months of October, November or December 2020 are indicative of our rental collections in January 2021 or thereafter. In addition, the foregoing information does not purport to reflect our results of operations or financial condition for the fourth quarter of 2020 or for any future period. As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its spread, our revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020 may decline relative to the third quarter of 2020, and that decline may continue or increase in subsequent periods as long as such impacts continue to exist. We continue to evaluate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as the situation continues to evolve.

Recent Investments in Real Estate and Pending Acquisitions

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we invested approximately $2.3 billion in properties and properties under development or expansion. Of such properties, as of December 31, 2020, approximately 61% (based on annualized contractual rent) are leased to investment grade tenants (as defined above).

From January 1 through January 8, 2021, we have acquired properties with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130.7 million. Moreover, as of January 8, 2021, we had entered into agreements or letters of intent to acquire additional U.S. and U.K. properties with an aggregate estimated purchase price of approximately $676.8 million, consisting of approximately $91.8 million aggregate estimated purchase price for properties as to which we had entered into acquisition agreements and approximately $585.1 million aggregate estimated purchase price for properties as to which we have entered into letters of intent. The total purchase price for properties already acquired from January 1 through January 8, 2021, and the estimated purchase price of properties that as of January 8, 2021 were under contract or letters of intent to be acquired, is approximately $807.5 million. The foregoing acquisition totals exclude investments in properties under development or expansion.

The acquisition of properties is subject to numerous uncertainties, including various closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the properties for which we have entered into letters of intent (which are non-binding and therefore can be terminated by the buyer or the seller) or acquisition agreements will be acquired at the prices or on the timetable or other terms currently contemplated, or at all, or that we will enter into binding agreements to acquire properties as to which we have entered into letters of intent.

In addition, we had no borrowings outstanding under our $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $300.0 million outstanding under our $1.0 billion commercial paper program as of January 8, 2021. The foregoing information does not purport to reflect our results of operations or financial condition for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 or for any future period.
