- Review the full text of the lease agreements (Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3) for specific default clauses and purchase option terms.
- Confirm the funding source for the $68.1 million acquisition to assess impact on the Company's leverage ratios.
- Check subsequent filings for any changes in the occupancy status or rent collection performance of these specific assets.
