Q&A highlights

Q: How much will you make from your shares in the SPAC if it is successful?

A: That depends on the negotiations with the target company. It could be as much as 30% to 40% of our total equity or it could be more. We really won't know the answer to that question until the negotiations are finalized and the shareholders of the SPAC have voted to approve the acquisition of the target company.

Q: What kinds of properties specifically are you looking at for new acquisitions?

A: We're going to continue the strategy that we embarked on last year, where given where we are in the real estate cycle and the economic cycle with the pandemic, bolstering all that, our focus is on yield driven, stable longer term lease properties with little capital expense exposure and little lease rollover expense. We're looking at a diversified property type; it could be industrial, it could be office, it could be retail. The most important thing for us right now is generating cash flow with some stability.

Q: If there were to be another lockdown in 2022, how much of an effect do you think it would have on the Presidio Property portfolio?

A: Well looking at the, historically looking at the last lockdown, I believe we had 13 tenants out of our portfolio of over 200 tenants who requested some sort of assistance on rents, some deferral or such. We got out of that, relatively unscathed. We were able to get concessions from tenants in return for a temporary rent break and we assume if that's the worst case and we have another locked down in the future, I would expect that given the diversification of our tenants businesses that we would have no worse of a situation and we already have.

Q: Do you have plans to raise more capital and what can we expect?

A: We always are looking at the capital markets and will take advantage of opportunities. Our plan is to continuously grow through smart acquisitions, so we will raise more capital when the time is right and the markets are favorable.
