Material Changes

The new agreements increase the potential offering capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.25 billion and involve a syndicate of sales agents including BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and others.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds will be contributed to the Operating Partnership to fund potential acquisitions, repay revolving credit facility debt, fund development/redevelopment activities, or for general corporate purposes.
Offering Mechanics:
- Sales will be made on a "best efforts" basis.
- The offering may include forward sale agreements where the Company may not receive immediate proceeds if settled via cash or net share settlement.
- The Company may suspend or terminate the offering at any time.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Sales depend on market conditions and the trading price of the common stock.
- Agreements may be terminated by agents if the Company fails to maintain its NYSE listing or experiences a material adverse change.
- Forward sale agreements may result in the Company owing cash or shares if settled via net share settlement.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market price of REXR common stock to assess potential dilution from the $1.25 billion offering.
- Review the specific terms of the forward sale agreements (Exhibits 1.1–1.13) to understand settlement risks.
- Monitor future filings for actual sales volumes and proceeds received under the new agreements.
- Check the Company's latest 10-Q or 10-K for current debt levels and liquidity, as this 8-K does not contain those figures.
- Confirm the status of the Operating Partnership's revolving credit facility to gauge immediate liquidity needs.
