• Trade policies, tariffs and related government actions may cause a decline in economic activity and have a material adverse impact on our business.

  Could happen

  The U.S. government indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, and has made proposals and taken actions related thereto. During 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the United States for imports from a broad range of countries and on certain materials. Several countries also implemented or proposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States and introduced additional trade barriers. Further governmental actions related to the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers by the United States or foreign countries or changes to international trade agreements or policies, or uncertainty related to any such actions, could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of our tenants whose businesses rely on goods imported from such impacted jurisdictions. Such action, changes or uncertainty could also increase the costs and decrease margins on our development or expansion projects. Any of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on the businesses of our current and future tenants as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Could happen

  Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any state court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Maryland, or, if such state courts do not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court located within the State of Maryland will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, other than actions arising under federal securities laws, (ii) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), and any action or proceeding asserting any Internal Corporate Claim, including, without limitation, (a) any claim based on an alleged breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or to our stockholders, or (b) any claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws, or (iii) any other action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Furthermore, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is more favorable for disputes against us or our directors, officers, employees, or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees, and agents.
