Dividends (Distributions)

It has been our policy to declare quarterly dividends to common stockholders so as to comply with applicable provisions of the Code governing REITs. All distributions are made at the discretion of our Board of Directors in accordance with Maryland law. Distributions with respect to our common stock can be characterized for federal income tax purposes as ordinary dividends, capital gains, nondividend distributions, or a combination thereof. The following table shows the characterization of our annual common stock distributions per share:

______________________________________

(1)For the year ended December 31, 2024, all $0.720440 of ordinary dividends qualified as business income for purposes of Code Section 199A. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the amount includes $0.882312 of ordinary dividends qualified as business income for purposes of Code Section 199A and $0.027380 of qualified dividend income for purposes of Code Section 1(h)(11). For the year ended December 31, 2022, all $0.872948 of ordinary dividends qualified as business income for purposes of Code Section 199A.

(2)For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the amount includes $0.215960, $0.036256, and $0.017760, respectively, of unrecaptured Code Section 1250 gain. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1061-6(c), we are disclosing additional information related to the capital gain dividends for purposes of Section 1061 of the Code. Code Section 1061 is generally applicable to direct and indirect holders of “applicable partnership interests.” For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the “One Year Amounts” and “Three Year Amounts” are each zero, since all capital gains relate to Code Section 1231 gains. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the “One Year Amounts” and “Three Year Amounts” are each 89.6708% of the total capital gain distributions and the remaining capital gain distributions are attributable to Code Section 1231 gains, which are not subject to Code Section 1061.

(3)For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, 100%, 100%, and 10.3292%, respectively, of the capital gain distributions represent gains from dispositions of U.S. real property interests pursuant to Code Section 897 for foreign shareholders.

On February 3, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.305 per share, reflecting an increase from $0.30 to $0.305 per share. The common stock cash dividend will be paid on February 26, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2025.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table sets forth information with respect to purchases of our common stock made by or on our behalf during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

_______________________________________

(1)On July 24, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the 2024 Share Repurchase Program under which we may acquire shares of our common stock in the open market or other similar purchase techniques (including in compliance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or pursuant to one or more plans adopted under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act), up to an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Purchases of common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program may be exercised at our discretion with the timing and number of shares repurchased depending on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program expires in July 2026 and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of December 31, 2024, no shares have been repurchased under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. Therefore, at December 31, 2024, $500 million of the Company’s common stock remained available for repurchase under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.
