Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 39
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Future sales or issuances of our common stock may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The sale of substantial amounts of our common stock, whether directly by us or in the secondary market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Similarly, the availability of future issuances of common stock, Limited Partnership Units or other securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, could also depress the market price of our common stock. In addition, we may in the future issue capital stock senior to our common stock for various reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy, to adjust our ratio of debt to equity or other strategic reasons. Such issuances could further impact the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital through common stock or other offerings.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, including: - actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows or liquidity;- changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;- changes in asset valuations and related impairment charges;- changes to our dividend policy;- research reports about us or the real estate industry generally;- the ability of our tenants to meet rent obligations and our ability to re-lease space as leases expire;- increases in market interest rates, which may lead investors to demand a higher dividend yield;- changes in market valuations of similar companies;- adverse market reaction to our debt levels, upcoming debt maturities, refinancing plans or anticipated debt incurrences;- our ability to comply with financial covenants under our unsecured line of credit and the indentures under which our senior unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued;- additions or departures of key management personnel;- actions by institutional stockholders;- speculation in the media or investment community; and - general market and economic conditions. These factors, many of which outside our control, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. We cannot provide any assurance that the market price of our common stock will remain stable or not fall in the future, and it may be difficult for holders to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive, or at all.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The Company's ability to issue preferred stock could adversely affect holders of the Company's common stock.
Our declaration of trust authorizes the Company to issue up to 225,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company may issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges that are more beneficial than those of common stock. Holders of the Company's common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire shares issued in the future. If the Company ever issues preferred stock with a distribution preference over common stock, funds available for the payment of distributions to our common stockholders and unitholders would be reduced. In addition, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, which would reduce the amount available to our common stockholders and unitholders. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, potentially limiting the ability of common stockholders to benefit from such a transaction.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The Company's Board of Directors may change its strategies, policies or procedures without stockholder approval, which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.
Our investment, financing, leverage and distribution policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. These policies may be amended or revised at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors at any time and without notice to or a vote of its stockholders. Such changes could result in us conducting operational matters or making investments differently or pursuing alternate business or growth strategies, potentially exposing ourselves to new and more significant risks. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors may change its governance policies, provided that such changes comply with applicable legal requirements. A change in these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control of our company.
Certain provisions of our charter and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing transactions that involve an actual or threatened change in control of our company. These provisions include the following: - Removal of Directors. Under our charter, a director may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors, subject to the rights of any preferred stockholders to elect directors. - Preferred Stock. Under our charter, our board of directors has the power to issue preferred stock in one or more series, with terms, preferences and rights determined by the board of directors, all without approval of our stockholders. - Advance Notice Bylaws. Our bylaws require stockholders to follow advance notice procedures with respect to nominations of directors and shareholder proposals. - Ownership Limit. For the purpose, among others, of preserving our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, our charter generally prohibits any single stockholder or group of affiliated stockholders from beneficially owning more than 9.8% of our outstanding common and preferred stock unless our board of directors waives or modifies this ownership limit. - Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our bylaws permit stockholders actions by written consent in lieu of an annual or special meeting of stockholders only if all stockholders consent to such action. - Ability of Stockholders to Call Special Meeting. Under our bylaws, we are only required to call a special meeting at the request of the stockholders if the request is made by at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by our stockholders generally in the election of directors. - Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. While our bylaws currently exempt acquisitions of our shares from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, the board of directors may amend our bylaws to repeal or modify this exemption. If repealed, control shares acquired in a control share acquisition will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act.
