2 Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains forward - looking statements . All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this press release are forward - looking statements . In some cases, forward - looking statements can be identified by words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "potential," "continue" or similar expressions . Such forward - looking statements include risks and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward - looking statements . These factors, risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Investors should not place any undue reliance on forward - looking statements since they involve known and unknown, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control which could, and likely will, materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements . Any forward - looking statement reflects the Company's current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity . The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward - looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward - looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future . COVID - 19 Statement In March 2020 , the World Health Organization declared COVID - 19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide . The Company is monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID - 19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain . Currently, all of the properties in the Company’s portfolio are open to its Significant Tenants and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements . The Company did not experience in 2020 or 2021 and does not foresee in 2022 , any material changes to its operations from COVID - 19 . The Company’s tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties, and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations . Accordingly, while the Company does not anticipate an impact on its operations, it cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments . In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the Company’s business, including weakened demand for its properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all .
