Note 1 – Organization
Organization
Orion Office REIT Inc. (the “Company”, “Orion”, “we” or “us”) is an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and management of a diversified portfolio of office buildings located in high-quality suburban markets across the U.S. and leased primarily on a single-tenant net lease basis to creditworthy tenants. Our portfolio is comprised of traditional office buildings, as well as governmental office, medical office, flex/laboratory and R&D and flex/industrial properties.
The Company was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”). Following completion of the merger transaction involving Realty Income and VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT”) on November 1, 2021, Realty Income contributed the combined business comprising certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of Realty Income, and certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of VEREIT (the “Separation”), to the Company and its operating partnership, Orion Office REIT LP (“Orion OP”), and on November 12, 2021, effected a special distribution to its stockholders of all the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Distribution”).
Following the Distribution, the Company became independent and publicly traded and its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, trades on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ONL” and has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned and operated 75 office properties with an aggregate of 8.7 million leasable square feet located in 29 states. In addition, the Company owns an equity interest in OAP/VER Venture, LLC (the “Arch Street Joint Venture”), an unconsolidated joint venture with an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, LLC (“Arch Street Capital Partners”). As of March 31, 2024, the Arch Street Joint Venture owned a portfolio consisting of six office properties totaling approximately 1.0 million leasable square feet located within six states.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated statements of the Company presented herein include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal, recurring nature.
The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and a consolidated joint venture. The portion of the consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of equity.
For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance

its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates entities that are not VIEs if it has a majority voting interest or other rights that result in effectively controlling the entity.
The Company then qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate VIEs based on standards set forth in U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding real estate investment impairments.
Revenue Recognition
Rental Revenue
For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis, including the effect of any free rent periods, over the lease term when collectability of lease payments is probable. Variable lease payments are recognized as rental revenue in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.
Certain of the Company’s leases also contain provisions for tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance and other property operating expenses. Such reimbursements are included in rental revenue on a gross basis. Property operating expenses paid directly by tenants are recorded on a net basis (i.e., treated as fully offset by an identical amount of assumed reimbursement revenue) and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, straight-line rent and property operating expense reimbursements and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. The review includes a binary assessment of whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received and the Company reduces rental revenue for any straight-line rent receivables. The Company recognizes all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a reduction to rental revenue of less than $0.1 million for income not probable of collection. Periodically the Company receives reimbursement for certain end of lease obligations or reimbursements from previous tenants that are recognized on a cash basis or when the amounts are definitively agreed upon. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $2.7 million of such reimbursements. No such amounts were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Rental revenue also includes lease termination income collected from tenants to allow for the tenants to settle their lease obligations and/or to vacate their space prior to their scheduled termination dates, as well as amortization of above and below-market leases and lease incentives. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.6 million of lease termination income.
Fee Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The Company provides various services to the Arch Street Joint Venture in exchange for market-based fees. Total asset and property management fees earned in connection with this entity was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid funds with original maturities of three months or less. The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held.
Restricted Cash
The Company had $35.0 million and $34.7 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily comprised of reserves held by the lender under the CMBS Loan (as defined in Note 6 – Debt, Net) for future rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances. Restricted cash is included in other assets, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280, Segment Reporting). ASU 2023-07 serves to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures, on both an annual and interim basis, about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of profit or loss, other segment items and a description of its composition by reportable segment, the title and position of the CODM, and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740, Income Taxes). ASU 2023-09 serves to enhance transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and information on income taxes paid. The update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate the guidance under ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Real Estate Investments and Related Intangibles
Property Acquisitions
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired for no consideration the fee interest in one parcel of land in connection with the maturity of the tax advantaged bond and ground lease structure. As a result of the transaction, $3.5 million that was previously classified as a finance lease right-of-use asset with respect to such land parcel previously subject to the ground lease was reclassified from other assets, net to real estate investments in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. The Company did not have any other acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had no acquisitions.
Property Dispositions and Real Estate Assets Held for Sale
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no dispositions. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The following is a summary of the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

____________________________________
(1)The Company’s ownership interest reflects its legal ownership interest. The Company’s legal ownership interest may, at times, not equal the Company’s economic interest because of various provisions in the joint venture agreement regarding capital contributions, distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances and allocations of profits and losses. As a result, the Company’s actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interest.
(2)During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Arch Street Joint Venture did not acquire any properties.
(3)The total carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture was greater than the underlying equity in net assets by $0.3 million and $0.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This difference is related to a step up in the fair value of the investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture in connection with the Separation and the Distribution. The step up in fair value was allocated based on the underlying assets and liabilities of the Arch Street Joint Venture and is being amortized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets and liabilities in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies.
The non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture of $136.7 million as of March 31, 2024 are scheduled to mature on November 27, 2024, and the Arch Street Joint Venture has two successive one-year options to extend the maturity until November 27, 2026. The extension options are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfaction of certain financial and operating covenants. The Arch Street Joint Venture may be unable to satisfy the extension conditions, and is also evaluating alternatives to refinance this obligation. The Company cannot provide any assurance the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the extension conditions or otherwise extend or refinance the loan. If the Arch Street Joint Venture is unable to extend or refinance the mortgage notes, the Company’s investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture could be materially adversely affected.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measures
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those instruments fall (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Derivative liabilities | | $ | — | | | $ | 264 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 264 | |
Derivative Liabilities – The Company’s derivative financial instruments comprise interest rate collar agreements entered into in order to hedge interest rate volatility with respect to the Company’s borrowings with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (as described in Note 6 – Debt, Net). The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.
Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment.
Real Estate and Other Investments – The Company performs quarterly impairment review procedures for real estate investments, right of use assets and its investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, primarily through continuous monitoring of events and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
As part of the Company’s impairment review procedures, net real estate assets representing two and three properties were deemed to be impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $19.7 million and $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impairment charges reflect changes in the Company’s future cash flow assumptions for agreed-upon or estimated sales proceeds with respect to real estate assets that were expected to be sold as well as changes to assumptions with regard to management’s intent to sell or lease the real estate assets.
The following table summarizes our provisions for impairment during the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | | | | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Number of properties | | | | | | 2 | | | 3 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Carrying value of impaired properties | | | | | | $ | 30,060 | | | $ | 28,357 | |
Provisions for impairment | | | | | | (19,685) | | | (3,754) | |
Estimated fair value | | | | | | $ | 10,375 | | | $ | 24,603 | |
The Company estimates fair values using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and uses a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and/or recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and make certain key assumptions, including the following: (1) capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions including number of months to re-lease, market rental revenue and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants.
For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the fair value measurement for one property was determined based on the sales price under a definitive agreement and one property was determined by a discount rate of 9.0% and capitalization rate of 8.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, impairment charges of $19.7 million were recorded for held and used properties and no impairment charges were recorded for held for sale properties.
For the Company’s impairment tests for the real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value measurement for all three impaired properties was determined by applying an estimated sales price based on market data. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, impairment charges of $3.8 million were recorded for held and used properties and no impairment charges were recorded for held for sale properties.

____________________________________(1)As described below, the Company’s Revolving Facility is scheduled to mature on November 12, 2024 and Orion OP has an option to extend the maturity date to May 12, 2026 if customary conditions are satisfied. This table assumes exercise of the extension option.
Credit Agreement
In connection with the Separation and the Distribution, on November 12, 2021, the Company, as parent, and Orion OP, as borrower, entered into (i) a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for a three-year, $425.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), including a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, and a two-year, $175.0 million senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and (ii) a credit agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) providing for a six-month, $355.0 million senior bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.
In February 2022, as further described below, the Company refinanced the Bridge Facility in full with the $355.0 million CMBS Loan (defined below), and the Bridge Credit Agreement was terminated. In June 2023, as further described below, the Term Loan Facility was repaid and retired with borrowings under the Revolving Facility and, as of March 31, 2024, $116.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
The Company and Orion OP have entered into three amendments to the Credit Agreement. The purpose of the first amendment entered into in December 2022 was to change the benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement from LIBOR to SOFR (the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York). The purpose of the second amendment entered into in June 2023 was to repay and retire $175.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility with borrowings from the Revolving Facility which was undrawn at the time of the second amendment, provide Orion OP with the option to extend the maturity of the Revolving Facility for an additional 18 months to May 12, 2026 from November 12, 2024 and to effect certain other modifications. The extension option is subject to customary conditions including there being no default or event of default, such as the failure to satisfy a financial or other covenant, and the payment of an extension fee. The Company’s ability to satisfy these conditions and continue to comply with the terms of the
ORION OFFICE REIT INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Revolving Facility is partially dependent upon the Company having a sufficient level of unencumbered asset value as defined in the Credit Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility. After giving effect to the third amendment described below, Orion OP expects to be able to satisfy the loan extension conditions and, therefore, intends to elect the option to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility until May 12, 2026, during the second quarter of 2024. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the extension conditions and continue to comply with the Revolving Facility.
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement which resulted in a permanent $75.0 million reduction in the capacity of the Revolving Facility to $350.0 million, while making a proportional reduction in the minimum value of the unencumbered asset pool required under the Credit Agreement and certain other modifications to financial covenants. See Note 15 – Subsequent Events for further information.
The interest rate applicable to the loans under the Revolving Facility may be determined, at the election of Orion OP, on the basis of Daily Simple SOFR, Term SOFR or a base rate, in the case of a SOFR loan, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% per annum, and in the case of a SOFR loan or a base rate loan, plus an applicable margin of 3.25% for SOFR loans and 2.25% for base rate loans. Loans under the Revolving Facility may be prepaid and reborrowed, and unused commitments under the Revolving Facility may be reduced, at any time, in whole or in part, by Orion OP, without premium or penalty (except for SOFR breakage costs).
In December 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, which effectively fixed the interest rate on $175.0 million of principal under the Revolving Facility (or, until June 29, 2023, the Term Loan Facility) at 3.92% per annum until November 12, 2023. Upon the scheduled expiration of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company entered into interest rate collar agreements on a total notional amount of $60.0 million to hedge against interest rate volatility on the Revolving Facility. Under the agreements, the benchmark rate for the Revolving Facility will float between 5.50% per annum and 4.20% per annum on $25.0 million, and 5.50% per annum and 4.035% per annum on $35.0 million, effective from November 13, 2023 until May 12, 2025. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Revolving Facility was 8.66%.
To the extent that amounts under the Revolving Facility remain unused, Orion OP is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility.
The Revolving Facility is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of Orion OP’s existing and future subsidiaries (including substantially all of its subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own unencumbered real properties), other than certain joint ventures and subsidiaries that own real properties subject to certain other indebtedness (such subsidiaries of Orion OP, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).
The Revolving Facility is secured by, among other things, first priority pledges of the equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors.
The Revolving Facility requires that Orion OP comply with various covenants, including covenants restricting, subject to certain exceptions, liens, investments, mergers, asset sales and the payment of certain dividends. Pursuant to the second amendment described above, if, on any day, Orion OP has unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $25.0 million (excluding amounts that are then designated for application or use and are subsequently used for such purposes within 30 days), Orion OP will use such excess amount to prepay loans under the Revolving Facility, without premium or penalty and without any reduction in the lenders’ commitment under the Revolving Facility.
In addition, the Revolving Facility giving effect to the modifications pursuant to the second amendment described above, requires that Orion OP satisfy the following financial covenants:
•ratio of total debt to total asset value of not more than 0.60 to 1.00;
•ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.00;
•ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 0.40 to 1.00;
•ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value of not more than 0.60 to 1.00;
•ratio of net operating income from all unencumbered real properties to unsecured interest expense of not less than 2.00 to 1.00; and
•the unencumbered asset value maintained by Orion OP must be at least $600.0 million.
Pursuant to the second amendment described above, if the ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value exceeds 0.35 to 1.00 as of the end of two consecutive fiscal quarters, Orion OP will be required, within 90 days and subject to cure

rights, to grant the administrative agent a first priority lien on all the properties included in the pool of unencumbered assets (other than properties identified for disposition by the Company so long as such properties are sold within one year of such identification). Pursuant to the third amendment described above, the minimum unencumbered asset value has been reduced to $500.0 million, from $600.0 million.
As of March 31, 2024, Orion OP was in compliance with the Revolving Facility financial covenants.
The Revolving Facility includes customary representations and warranties of the Company and Orion OP, which must be true and correct in all material respects as a condition to future extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of Orion OP under the Revolving Facility to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the collateral securing the Revolving Facility.
CMBS Loan
On February 10, 2022, certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Mortgage Borrowers”) obtained a $355.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan (the “CMBS Loan”) from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (together with its successor, the “Lender”), which is secured by the Mortgage Borrowers’ fee simple or ground lease interests in 19 properties owned indirectly by the Company (collectively, the “Mortgaged Properties”). During March 2022, Wells Fargo effected a securitization of the CMBS Loan. The CMBS Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.971% per annum and matures on February 11, 2027.
The CMBS Loan requires monthly payments of interest only and all principal is due at maturity. The proceeds of the CMBS Loan were used to repay the Bridge Facility. Upon closing of the CMBS Loan, the Mortgage Borrowers funded $35.5 million of loan reserves primarily for future rent concessions and tenant improvement allowances under the leases with respect to the 19 Mortgaged Properties. These amounts, as well as the transaction expenses incurred in connection with the CMBS Loan, were funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Facility.
The CMBS Loan is secured by, among other things, first priority mortgages and deeds of trust granted by the Mortgage Borrowers and encumbering the Mortgaged Properties.
The CMBS Loan is generally not freely prepayable by the Mortgage Borrowers without payment of certain prepayment premiums and costs. The CMBS Loan may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, except as provided in the loan agreement governing the CMBS Loan (the “CMBS Loan Agreement”), at any time following the Prepayment Lockout Release Date (as defined in the CMBS Loan Agreement) (generally in March 2024, two years after the CMBS Loan has been fully securitized), subject to the payment of a yield maintenance premium and the satisfaction of other terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Loan Agreement. Further, releases of individual properties are permitted in connection with an arms’ length third party sale upon repayment of the Release Price (as defined in the CMBS Loan Agreement) for the applicable individual property and subject to payment of the applicable yield maintenance premium and the satisfaction of other terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Loan Agreement.
The CMBS Loan Agreement also contains customary cash management provisions, including certain trigger events (such as failure of the Mortgage Borrowers to satisfy a minimum debt yield) which allow the Lender to retain any excess cash flow as additional collateral for the Loan, until such trigger event is cured.
In connection with the CMBS Loan Agreement, the Company (as the guarantor) delivered a customary non-recourse carveout guaranty to the Lender (the “Guaranty”), under which the Company guaranteed the obligations and liabilities of the Mortgage Borrowers to the Lender with respect to certain non-recourse carveout events and the circumstances under which the CMBS Loan will be fully recourse to the Mortgage Borrowers, and which includes requirements for the Company to maintain a net worth of no less than $355.0 million and liquid assets of no less than $10.0 million, in each case, exclusive of the values of the collateral for the CMBS Loan. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.
The Mortgage Borrowers and the Company also provided a customary environmental indemnity agreement, pursuant to which the Mortgage Borrowers and the Company agreed to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender from and against certain environmental liabilities relating to the Mortgaged Properties.
The CMBS Loan Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Mortgage Borrowers and the Company. The CMBS Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the Lender to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Mortgage Borrowers to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the Mortgaged Properties.

Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding derivative agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP. The interest rate derivative agreements comprise interest rate collar agreements entered into in order to hedge interest rate volatility with respect to the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Under the agreements, the benchmark rate for the Revolving Facility will float between 5.50% per annum and 4.20% per annum on $25.0 million, and 5.50% per annum and 4.035% per annum on $35.0 million, effective from November 13, 2023 until May 12, 2025.
The Company was previously party to derivative agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $175.0 million, which were also designated as cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP. The interest rate derivative agreements, which expired on November 12, 2023, comprised interest rate swap agreements which effectively fixed the interest rate on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Facility (or, until June 29, 2023, the Term Loan Facility) until November 12, 2023.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges as well as their classification in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $0.2 million for changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded unrealized losses of less than $0.1 million for changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not reclassify any previous net gains or losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense as a result of the hedged transactions impacting earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reclassified previous net gains of $1.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense as a result of the hedged transactions impacting earnings.
During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that no amounts will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no derivatives that were not designated as qualifying hedging relationships.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
Leasing
As part of its ordinary re-leasing activities, the Company has agreed and anticipates that it will continue to agree to provide rent concessions to tenants and incur leasing costs with respect to its properties, including amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and/or building systems, or tenant improvement allowances, landlord agreements to perform and pay for certain improvements, and leasing commissions. These rent concessions and leasing costs could be significant and are expected

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to vary due to factors such as competitive market conditions for leasing of commercial office space and the volume of square footage subject to re-leasing by the Company.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had the following estimated total outstanding commitments (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 (1) |
Tenant improvement allowances | | $ | 43,238 | |
Reimbursable landlord work (2) | | 6,906 | |
Non-reimbursable landlord work (2) | | 3,787 | |
Leasing commissions | | 323 | |
Total | | $ | 54,254 | |
____________________________________(1)Outstanding commitments do not include rent concessions as such amounts are recorded as a component of straight-line rent receivable, net, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2)Landlord work represents specific improvements agreed to within the lease agreement to be performed by us, as landlord, as a new and non-recurring obligation and in order to induce the tenant to enter into a new lease or lease renewal or extension. Commitments for reimbursable and non-reimbursable landlord work include estimates and are subject to change.
The timing of the Company’s cash outlay for tenant improvement allowances is significantly uncertain and will depend upon the applicable tenant’s schedule for the improvements and corresponding use of capital, if any. For assets financed on the CMBS Loan, the Company has funded reserves with the lender for tenant improvement allowances and rent concessions. The restricted cash included in the reserve totaled $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, including $23.6 million for tenant improvement allowances and $11.1 million for rent concessions, and is included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be party to various legal proceedings which it believes are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of its business. The Company does not believe that any such legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
Environmental Matters
In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim, and is not aware of any other environmental condition, in each case, that it believes will have a material adverse effect upon its consolidated position or results of operations.
Note 11 – Leases
Lessor
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s operating leases have non-cancelable lease terms ranging from 0.2 years to 15.1 years. Certain leases with tenants include tenant options to extend or terminate the lease agreements or to purchase the underlying assets. Lease agreements may also contain rent increases that are based on an index or rate (e.g., the consumer price index).

Lessee
The Company is the lessee under ground lease arrangements and corporate office leases, which meet the criteria under U.S. GAAP for an operating lease. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s operating leases had remaining lease terms ranging from 1.7 years to 60.8 years, which includes options to extend. Under the operating leases, the Company pays rent and may also pay variable costs, including property operating expenses and common area maintenance. The weighted-average discount rate used to measure the lease liability for the Company’s operating leases was 3.83% as of March 31, 2024. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date or the lease guidance adoption date, as applicable, in determining the present value of lease payments.
Operating lease costs were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. No cash paid for operating lease liabilities was capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Arch Street Warrants
On November 12, 2021, in connection with the Distribution, Orion OP entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLCA”) of the Arch Street Joint Venture, by and between Orion OP and OAP Holdings LLC (the “Arch Street Partner”), an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, pursuant to which the Arch Street Partner consented to the transfer of the equity interests of the Arch Street Joint Venture previously held by VEREIT Real Estate, L.P. to Orion OP.
Also on November 12, 2021, in connection with the entry into the LLCA, the Company granted certain affiliates of the Arch Street Partner warrants to purchase up to 1,120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Arch Street Warrants”). The Arch Street Warrants entitle the respective holders to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to $22.42, at any time. The Arch Street Warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Company common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Arch Street Warrants. The Arch Street Warrants expire on the earlier of (a) ten years

Share Repurchase Program
On November 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock until December 31, 2025, as market conditions warrant (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, structured or derivative transactions, including accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or other methods of acquiring shares in accordance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to make any repurchases at a specific time or in a specific situation. Repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s liquidity and anticipated liquidity needs, financial performance and other conditions. Shares of common stock repurchased by the Company under the Share Repurchase Program, if any, will be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Company did not repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $45.0 million available under the Share Repurchase Program.
Note 13 - Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has an equity-based incentive award plan (the “Equity Plan”) for officers, other employees, non-employee directors and consultants who provide services to the Company. Awards under the Equity Plan are accounted for under U.S. GAAP as share-based payments. The expense for such awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Under the Equity Plan, the Company may grant various types of awards, including restricted stock units that will vest if the recipient maintains employment with the Company over the requisite service period (the “Time-Based RSUs”) and restricted stock units that may vest in a number ranging from 0% to 100% of the total number of units granted, based on the Company’s total shareholder return measured on an absolute basis (“TSR-Based RSUs”) and based on certain operational performance metrics (“Metrics-Based RSUs” and collectively with the TSR-Based RSUs, “Performance-Based RSUs”), in each case for officers and other employees during a three-year performance period. The Company also granted Time-Based RSUs to its non-employee directors which are scheduled to vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the next annual meeting, subject to the recipient’s continued service with the Company.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted Time-Based RSUs and/or Performance-Based RSUs to officers and other employees of the Company. The fair value of the Time-Based RSUs is determined using the closing stock price on the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. The fair value of the TSR-Based RSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation which takes into account multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the required total shareholder return, and such fair value is expensed over the performance period. The fair value of the Metrics-Based RSUs is determined using the closing stock price on the grant date and is expensed over the requisite service period to the extent that the likelihood of achieving the performance metrics is probable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company determined that the likelihood of achieving some of the performance metrics was probable and, accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense for such Metrics-Based RSUs and determined that the likelihood of achieving the remaining performance metrics was improbable and the Company recognized no compensation expense for the remaining Metrics-Based RSUs.
Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs do not provide for any rights of a common stockholder prior to the vesting of such restricted stock units. Equity-based compensation expense related to Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to Time-Based RSUs and Performance-Based RSUs was approximately $6.1 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 2.2 years.
The Company is also required under U.S. GAAP to recognize equity-based compensation expense for awards to its former employees of Realty Income time-based restricted stock units and stock options granted in connection with the Separation and the Distribution. Equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, related to such Realty Income equity-based compensation awards, was less than $0.1 million. As of March 31, 2024, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to Realty Income time-based restricted stock units and stock options.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” which reflect Orion Office REIT Inc.’s (the “Company, “Orion”, “we”, or “us”) expectations and projections regarding future events and plans, future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and business, including leasing and occupancy, acquisitions, dispositions, rent receipts, expected borrowings and financing costs and the payment of future dividends. Generally, the words “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goals,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “guidance,” variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and involve a number of known and unknown assumptions and risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual events and plans or could cause our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. Information regarding historical rent collections should not serve as an indication of future rent collection. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
•the risk of rising interest rates, including that our borrowing costs may increase and we may be unable to extend or refinance our debt obligations on favorable terms and in a timely manner, or at all;
•the risk of inflation, including that our operating costs, such as insurance premiums, utilities, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs, may rise;
•conditions associated with the global market, including an oversupply of office space, tenant credit risk and general economic conditions and geopolitical conditions;

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
When we refer to “annualized base rent,” we mean the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to tenants under our leases (including monthly base rent receivables and certain fixed contractually obligated reimbursements by our tenants), as of March 31, 2024, multiplied by 12, including the Company’s pro rata share of such amounts from the Arch Street Joint Venture, the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture with an affiliate of Arch Street Capital Partners, LLC (“Arch Street Capital Partners”). Annualized base rent is not indicative of future performance.
Under a “net lease”, the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as triple net or double net. Triple net leases typically require that the tenant pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs). Double net leases typically require that the tenant pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance), but excludes some or all major repairs (e.g., roof, structure and parking lot). Accordingly, the owner receives the rent “net” of these expenses, rendering the cash flow associated with the lease predictable for the term of the lease.
Overview
Orion is an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and management of a diversified portfolio of office buildings located in high-quality suburban markets across the U.S. and leased primarily on a single-tenant net lease basis to creditworthy tenants. Our portfolio is comprised of traditional office buildings, as well as governmental office, medical office, flex/laboratory and R&D and flex/industrial properties.
As of March 31, 2024, we owned and operated 75 office properties with an aggregate of 8.7 million leasable square feet located in 29 states with an occupancy rate of 75.3% and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 4.0 years. Including our pro rata share of leasable square feet and annualized base rent from the Arch Street Joint Venture, we owned an aggregate of 8.9 million leasable square feet with an occupancy rate of 75.8%, or 83.2% adjusted for properties that are currently under agreements to be sold, and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 4.1 years as of March 31, 2024.
The Company was initially formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Realty Income Corporation (“Realty Income”). Following completion of the merger transaction involving Realty Income and VEREIT, Inc. (“VEREIT”) on November 1, 2021, Realty Income contributed the combined business comprising certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of Realty Income, and certain office real properties and related assets previously owned by subsidiaries of VEREIT (the “Separation”), to the Company and its operating partnership, Orion Office REIT LP (“Orion OP”), and, on November 12, 2021, effected a special distribution to its stockholders of all the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Distribution”).
Following the Distribution, the Company became independent and publicly traded and our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, trades on the NYSE under the symbol “ONL”.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Rental Revenues
Our operating results depend primarily upon generating rental revenue from the properties in our portfolio. The amount of rental revenue generated by these properties is affected by our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels, which will depend upon our ability to re-lease expiring space at favorable rates (see “Economic Environment and Tenant Retention” below). In addition, we have agreed to provide rent concessions to tenants and incur leasing costs with respect to our properties, including amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and/or building systems, or tenant improvement allowances, landlord agreements to perform and pay for certain improvements, and leasing commissions, and we anticipate we will continue to do so in future periods (see “Leasing Activity and Capital Expenditures” below).
Economic Environment and Tenant Retention
Our portfolio comprises primarily single-tenant leases, and tenant retention remains a significant challenge, as we have faced and will continue to face significant lease expirations the next few years. For example, leases representing approximately 22.7% and 13.2% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively, and we may be unable to renew leases or find replacement tenants. Certain changes in office space utilization, including increased remote and hybrid work arrangements and tenants consolidating their real estate footprint, continue to impact the office leasing market. The utilization and demand for office space continue to face headwinds and the duration and ultimate impact of current trends on the demands for office space at our properties remains uncertain and subject to change. Accordingly, we do not yet know what the full extent of the impacts will be on our or our tenants’ businesses and operations or the long-term outlook for leasing our properties. Higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, geopolitical hostilities and tensions, and concerns that the U.S. economy may enter an economic recession have caused disruptions in the financial markets and these factors could adversely affect our and our tenants’ financial condition and the ability or willingness of our tenants to renew our leases or pay rent to us.
Our leasing and asset disposition activity since the completion of our distribution from Realty Income continues to be adversely impacted by a variety of market and property specific conditions. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the office leasing market has experienced significantly reduced demand for space and changes in space usage as tenants seek to attract employees back to the office, in newer, renovated buildings with more amenities. As of March 31, 2024, 59.3%, 35.0% and 5.7% of our office buildings by square feet were classified as class A, class B and class C, respectively, as determined by the most recent appraisals of the properties. In the current office environment, class B and class C buildings generally have been experiencing reduced demand and lease or sell at discounts to class A buildings and our tenants and prospective new tenants across our portfolio sometimes compare the cost and the value of leasing space in our building to the value of newer space with more amenities asking higher rent in other buildings in the market. The class of buildings we own may be negatively impacting our leasing velocity and pushing our leasing costs higher, and has negatively impacted our sales price on non-core asset dispositions.
Indebtedness
We have incurred significant amounts of indebtedness and, therefore, are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including that we may be unable to extend or refinance our debt obligations as they come due. Deteriorating office fundamentals, high interest rates and market sentiment towards the office sector may restrict our access to, and likely increase our cost of, capital as we seek to extend or refinance our debts. We intend to exercise our extension option to extend the maturity date our Revolving Facility until May 12, 2026, and upon doing so, our nearest debt maturity are the non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture of $136.7 million as of March 31, 2024 which are scheduled to mature on November 27, 2024. The Arch Street Joint Venture has two successive one-year options to extend the maturity date until November 27, 2026, however, the extension options are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfaction of certain financial and operating covenants. The Arch Street Joint Venture may be unable to satisfy the extension conditions, and is also evaluating alternatives to refinance this obligation. We cannot provide any assurance that the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the extension conditions or otherwise extend or refinance the loan. If the Arch Street Joint Venture is unable to extend or refinance the mortgage notes, our investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture could be materially adversely affected.
Property Acquisitions and Dispositions
As part of our business strategy, we may acquire properties if market conditions permit and we are presented with an attractive opportunity to do so. Our ability to execute on asset acquisition activity will be highly dependent upon favorable
market conditions, including attractive yields on properties and access to requisite financing. We cannot provide any assurance as to whether we will be able to acquire assets on favorable terms and in a timely manner, or at all.
One of our main asset management strategies since the completion of our distribution from Realty Income has been to sell vacant and identified non-core assets that do not fit our long-term investment objectives. The sale of these assets will allow us to both reduce carry costs and avoid the uncertainty and significant capital expenditures associated with re-tenanting. We expect to continue this non-core asset disposition strategy in 2024. We cannot provide any assurance as to whether we will be able to sell non-core assets on favorable terms and in a timely manner, or at all.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that apply to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we rely on the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies until we can no longer avail ourselves of the exemptions applicable to emerging growth companies or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur on the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. As of June 30, 2023, the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700.0 million, and therefore, we expect to remain an “emerging growth company” at least until the next measuring date, which is June 30, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and a consolidated joint venture.
Election as a REIT
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2021. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, to stockholders. As a REIT, except as discussed below, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we may become subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income taxes on certain income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, expectations and projections regarding future events and plans, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting estimates would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different assumptions or estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policy involves significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate Impairment
We invest in real estate assets and subsequently monitor those investments quarterly for impairment. The risks and uncertainties involved in applying the principles related to real estate impairment include, but are not limited to, the following:
•The review of impairment indicators and subsequent determination of the undiscounted future cash flows could require us to reduce the value of assets and recognize an impairment loss.
•The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires our management to exercise significant judgment and make certain key assumptions, including the following: (1) capitalization rate; (2) discount rate; (3) number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions including the number of months to re-lease, market rental revenue and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and performance and sustainability of our tenants.
•Changes related to management’s intent to sell or lease the real estate assets used to develop the forecasted cash flows may have a material impact on our financial results.

Significant Transactions Summary
Activity through March 31, 2024
Real Estate Operations
•During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we completed approximately 0.1 million square feet of lease renewals and new leases across four different properties, including a new lease with the United States Government for approximately 86,000 square feet at our property in Lincoln, Nebraska. The United States Government will be backfilling vacant space and is expected to take occupancy in the third quarter of 2025, following landlord’s build-out of the United States Government premises, at which time the Lincoln, Nebraska property will be fully leased to two tenants. During April 2024, the United States Government exercised a 4.0-year renewal option for approximately 413,000 square feet at our property in Covington, Kentucky. Additionally, we entered into a 2.3-year lease for approximately 1,000 square feet at one our properties in The Woodlands, Texas.
•During the three months ended March 31, 2024, three leases expired consisting of 424,000 square feet. As of March 31, 2024, we had a total of 14 fully vacant properties, seven of which had pending agreements for sale. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we modified one lease to take back approximately 16,000 square feet of space at the Company’s property in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the tenant vacated the space on April 1, 2024. Substantially all of this vacant space will be backfilled by the United States Government as part of their new lease at the Lincoln, Nebraska property described above.
Debt
•On May 3, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which we have rightsized the revolver to $350.0 million through a $75.0 million-capacity reduction. See “Part II, Item 5. Other Information” for more details about the Third Amendment.
•As of March 31, 2024 and after giving effect to the Third Amendment to the Revolving Facility described above, we had $234.0 million of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility and $116.0 million of outstanding borrowings thereunder. Our interest rate collar agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million remain in effect until May 12, 2025.

Leasing Activity and Capital Expenditures
We remain highly focused on leasing activity, given the 4.1 year weighted-average remaining lease term and the significant lease maturities which will occur across the portfolio over the next few years. If our tenants decide not to renew their leases, terminate their leases early or default on their leases, we will seek to re-lease the space to new tenants. We may not, however, be able to re-lease the space to suitable replacement tenants on a timely basis, or at all. Our properties may not be as attractive to existing or new tenants as properties owned by our competitors due to age of buildings, physical condition, lack of amenities or other similar factors. Even if we are able to renew leases with existing tenants or enter into new leases with replacement tenants, the terms of renewals or new leases, including the cost of required renovations, improvements or concessions to tenants, may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. As a result, our net income and ability to pay dividends to stockholders could be materially adversely affected. Further, if any of our properties cannot be leased on terms and conditions favorable to us, we may seek to dispose of the property; however, such property may not be marketable at a suitable price without substantial capital improvements, alterations, or at all, which could inhibit our ability to effectively dispose of those properties and could require us to expend capital to fund necessary capital improvements or alterations. In general, when we sell properties that are vacant or soon to be vacant, the valuation will be discounted to reflect that the new owner will bear carrying costs until the property has been leased up and take the risk that the property may not be leased up on a timely basis, favorable terms or at all.
As an owner of commercial real estate, we are required to make capital expenditures with respect to our portfolio, which include normal building improvements to replace obsolete building components and expenditures to extend the useful life of existing assets and lease related expenditures to retain existing tenants or attract new tenants to our properties. We have agreed to provide rent concessions to tenants and incur leasing costs with respect to our properties, including amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and/or building systems, or tenant improvement allowances, landlord agreements to perform and pay for certain improvements, and leasing commissions. We anticipate that we will continue to agree to tenant improvement allowances, the amount of which may increase in future periods. These rent concessions and leasing costs could be significant and are expected to vary due to factors such as competitive market conditions for leasing of commercial office space and the volume of square footage subject to re-leasing by us.
As of March 31, 2024, we had the following estimated total outstanding rent concessions and leasing costs (in thousands, except per square foot amounts).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Outstanding Amount | | Related Square Footage (1) | | Outstanding Amount Per Square Foot |
Rent concessions (2) | | $ | 12,088 | | | 711 | | | $ | 17.00 | |
Tenant improvement allowances | | 43,238 | | | 1,480 | | | 29.21 | |
Reimbursable landlord work (3) | | 6,906 | | | 128 | | | 53.95 | |
Non-reimbursable landlord work (3) | | 3,787 | | | 427 | | | 8.87 | |
Leasing commissions | | 323 | | | 170 | | | 1.90 | |
Total | | $ | 66,342 | | | 1,885 | | | $ | 35.19 | |
____________________________________(1)Certain leases may contain more than one of the above rent concessions and leasing costs. The total square footage associated with our outstanding rent concessions and leasing costs excludes any duplicate square footage for the purpose of calculating the total outstanding amount per square foot.
(2)Rent concessions include free rent for future periods under our leases where the lease term has commenced and include estimates of property operating expenses, where applicable.
(3)Landlord work represents specific improvements agreed to within the lease agreement to be performed by us, as landlord, as a new non-recurring obligation and in order to induce the tenant to enter into a new lease or lease renewal or extension. Outstanding reimbursable and non-reimbursable landlord work amounts include estimates and are subject to change.
The actual amount we pay for tenant improvement allowances may be lower than the amount agreed upon in the applicable lease and will depend upon the tenant’s use of the capital on the agreed upon timeline. The timing of our cash outlay for tenant improvement allowances is significantly uncertain and will depend upon the applicable tenant’s schedule for the improvements and corresponding use of capital, if any. We estimate that the foregoing rent concessions and leasing costs will be funded between 2024 and 2039.
We have funded and intend to continue to fund our outstanding leasing costs with cash on hand, which may include proceeds from dispositions. For assets financed on our CMBS Loan, we have funded reserves with the lender for tenant improvement allowances and rent concessions. The restricted cash included in this reserve totaled $34.7 million as of March 31, 2024, including $23.6 million for tenant improvement allowances and $11.1 million for rent concessions, and is included in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we entered into new and renewal leases as summarized in the following tables (dollars and square feet in thousands):

____________________________________
(1)Represents weighted average percentage increase or decrease in (i) the annualized monthly cash amount charged to the applicable tenants (including monthly base rent receivables and certain fixed contractually obligated reimbursements by the applicable tenants, which may include estimates) as of the commencement date of the new lease term (excluding any full or partial rent abatement period) compared to (ii) the annualized monthly cash amount charged to the applicable tenants (including the monthly base rent receivables and certain fixed contractually obligated reimbursements by the applicable tenants, which may include estimates) as of the expiration date of the prior lease term. Contractually obligated reimbursements include estimated amortization of certain landlord funded improvements under our United States Government leases. If a space has been vacant for more than 12 months prior to the execution of a new lease or was previously otherwise not generating full cash rental revenue, the lease will be excluded from the rental rate change calculation.
(2)Excludes two new leases for approximately 92,000 square feet of space for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and one new lease for approximately 4,000 square feet of space for the three months ended March 31, 2023, that had been vacant for more than 12 months at the time the new lease was executed.
(3)Includes tenant improvement allowances and base building allowances, leasing commissions and free rent (includes estimates of property operating expenses, where applicable). Beginning in 2024, we have updated this calculation to also include estimates for certain reimbursable and non-reimbursable landlord funded improvements, and have applied this change retrospectively for comparison purposes.
(4)Includes reimbursable landlord funded improvements of $51.89 per rentable square foot for new leases, $17.09 per rentable square foot for renewals, and $46.77 per rentable square foot in total for the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no reimbursable landlord funded improvements included in the tenant rent concessions and leasing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(5)Weighted average lease term does not include specified periods of the stated lease term during which a tenant has the right to terminate their space without a termination fee, or "non-firm terms." The total weighted average lease term for new leases and renewals executed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 would be 14.2 years and 17.1 years, respectively, if such non-firm terms were included.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, three leases across two properties expired consisting of 424,000 square feet. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we entered into a contract to sell one of the properties comprising approximately 96,000 square feet and expect that sale to close in the second quarter of 2024. We currently intend to re-tenant the other property comprising approximately 328,000 square feet over time. For the property we intend to re-let, the base rent per square foot under the lease at expiration was approximately $22.00 per square foot, and our estimate of market rent at this property is $25.00 to $28.00 per square foot. Our market rent estimates are based on a variety of assumptions and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to re-let vacant space to new tenants on these or any other terms, in a timely manner, or at all. Our plans with respect to vacant properties are subject to change.

Rental
The decrease in rental revenue of $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the impact from a decrease in our overall occupied square footage due to scheduled vacancies of $4.0 million and the impact from property dispositions of $2.0 million. Our portfolio occupancy rate was 75.3% and we had 75 properties with an aggregate of 8.7 million leasable square feet as of March 31, 2024, as compared to a portfolio occupancy rate of 87.2% and 81 properties with an aggregate of 9.5 million leasable square feet as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by $2.7 million of reimbursements from previous tenants for certain end of lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Fee income from unconsolidated joint venture
Fee income from unconsolidated joint venture consists of fees earned for providing various services to the Arch Street Joint Venture. Fee income from unconsolidated joint venture remained consistent at $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.
