Gladstone Commercial Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Gladstone Commercial Corporation is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003. We focus on acquiring, owning and managing primarily industrial and office properties. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Adviser”), and administrative services are provided by Gladstone Administration, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Administrator”), each pursuant to a contractual arrangement with us. Our Adviser and Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Gladstone Commercial Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
All references herein to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” mean Gladstone Commercial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where it is made clear that the term means only Gladstone Commercial Corporation.
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data presented herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period, have been included. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2023, we identified errors in the calculation of depreciation of tenant funded improvement assets at a number of the Company’s properties. The Company had depreciated these assets through a term that was different than their useful lives, the correction of which resulted in changes to depreciation expense, a non-cash amount, and net income. The correction of these errors had an immaterial impact on the Incentive Fee for each period presented and had no impact on any other Advisory fees. The identified errors were included in the Company's previously issued 2021 quarterly and annual financial statements, 2022 quarterly and annual financial statements, and quarterly financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company evaluated the errors and determined that the related impact was not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or Consolidated Statements of Equity for any period impacted. The Company has revised the previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity tables as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to correct for such errors and these revisions are reflected in this Form 10-Q. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for these errors in our future filings, as applicable. A summary of the corrections to the impacted financial statement line items to the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Equity for each affected period is presented in Note 9, “Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1, “Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
2. Related-Party Transactions
Gladstone Management and Gladstone Administration
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Two of our executive officers, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Terry Lee Brubaker (our chief operating officer) serve as directors and executive officers of our Adviser and our Administrator. Our president, Mr. Arthur “Buzz” Cooper, is also an executive vice president of commercial and industrial real estate of our Adviser. Mr. Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel and secretary, as well as executive vice president of administration of our Adviser. We have entered into an advisory agreement with our Adviser, as amended from time to time (the “Advisory Agreement”), and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The services and fees under the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement are described below. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, was collectively due to our Adviser and Administrator. Our entrance into the Advisory Agreement and each amendment thereto has been approved unanimously by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors reviews and considers renewing the agreements with our Adviser and Administrator annually, typically during the month of July. During their July 2023 meeting, our Board of Directors reviewed and renewed the Administration Agreement for an additional year, through August 31, 2024 and simultaneously entered into the Eighth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement”).
Base Management Fee
On July 14, 2020, we amended and restated the Advisory Agreement, which replaced the previous calculation of the base management fee with a calculation based on Gross Tangible Real Estate. The revised base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and calculated at an annual rate of 0.425% (0.10625% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined in the Advisory Agreement as the current gross value of our property portfolio (meaning the aggregate of each property’s original acquisition price plus the cost of any subsequent capital improvements thereon). The calculation of the other fees in the Advisory Agreement was unchanged.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a base management fee of $1.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a base management fee of $1.6 million.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the calculation of the incentive fee rewards the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly Core FFO (defined at the end of this paragraph), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0% quarterly, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee). We refer to this as the hurdle rate. The Adviser will receive 15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed by 15.0% (the cap) the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) is GAAP net (loss) income (attributable) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any realized and unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net (loss) income (attributable) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.
On January 10, 2023, the Company amended and restated the Advisory Agreement by entering into the Seventh Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “Seventh Amended Advisory Agreement”), as approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including specifically, our independent directors. The Seventh Amended Advisory Agreement contractually eliminated the payment of the incentive fee for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.
The calculation of the other fees was unchanged.
On July 11, 2023, the Company entered into the Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including specifically, our independent directors. The Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement contractually eliminated the payment of the incentive fee for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. In addition, the Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement also clarified that for any future quarter whereby an incentive fee would exceed by greater than 15% the average quarterly incentive fee paid, the measurement would be versus the last four quarters where an incentive fee was actually paid. The calculation of the other fees was unchanged.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an incentive fee of $1.2 million, partially offset by credits related to non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waivers issued by the Advisor of $0.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the contractually eliminated incentive fee would have been $1.1 million.
Capital Gain Fee
Under the Advisory Agreement, we will pay to the Adviser a capital gain-based incentive fee that will be calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (equal to the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements) of the disposed property. At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount. No capital gain fee was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.
Termination Fee
The Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee clause whereby, in the event of our termination of the agreement without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the Advisory Agreement after we have defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The Advisory Agreement may also be terminated for cause by us (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the Advisory Agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions thereof, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.
Administration Agreement
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations to us including, but not limited to, rent and our allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including, but not limited to, our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel and secretary), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses are generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements. We believe that the methodology of allocating the Administrator’s total expenses by approximate percentage of time services were performed among all companies serviced by our Administrator more closely approximates fees paid to actual services performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded an administration fee of $0.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded an administration fee of $0.6 million.
Gladstone Securities
Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), is a privately held broker dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities.
Mortgage Financing Arrangement Agreement
We entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, effective June 18, 2013, for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging mortgage financing for our owned properties. In connection with this engagement, Gladstone Securities will, from time to time, continue to solicit the interest of various commercial real estate lenders or recommend to us third-party lenders offering credit products or packages that are responsive to our needs. We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing mortgage financing on any of our properties. The amount of these financing fees, which are payable upon closing of the financing, are based on a percentage of the amount of the mortgage, generally ranging from 0.15% to a maximum of 1.00% of the mortgage obtained. The amount of the financing fees may be reduced or eliminated, as determined by us and Gladstone Securities, after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any third-party brokers and market conditions. We did not pay financing fees to Gladstone Securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Our Board of Directors renewed the agreement for an additional year, through August 31, 2024, at its July 2023 meeting.
Dealer Manager Agreement
On February 20, 2020, we entered into a dealer manager agreement, as amended on February 9, 2023 (together, the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), whereby Gladstone Securities acts as the exclusive dealer manager in connection with our offering (the “Offering”) of up to (i) 20,000,000 shares of 6.00% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), on a “reasonable best efforts” basis (the “Primary Offering”), and (ii) 6,000,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) to those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who participate in such DRIP. Prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277877) (the “2024 Registration Statement”), the Series F Preferred Stock was registered with the SEC pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268549), as was amended and supplemented (the “2022 Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and was offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated February 9, 2023, and a base prospectus dated November 23, 2022 relating to the 2022 Registration Statement. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the Series F Preferred Stock was registered with the SEC pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236143) (the “2020 Registration Statement”), and offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated February 20, 2020, and a base prospectus dated February 11, 2020.
Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities, as dealer manager, provides certain sales, promotional and marketing services to us in connection with the Offering, and we pay Gladstone Securities (i) selling commissions of 6.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of Series F Preferred Stock in the Primary Offering (the “Selling Commissions”), and (ii) a dealer manager fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of Series F Preferred Stock in the Primary Offering (the “Dealer Manager Fee”). No Selling Commissions or Dealer Manager Fee are paid with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP. Gladstone Securities may, in its sole discretion, re-allow a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee to participating broker-dealers in support of the Offering. We paid fees of $0.02 million to Gladstone Securities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in connection with the Offering. We paid fees of $0.03 million to Gladstone Securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 in connection with the Offering.
3. Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The operating partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held by holders who do not control the Operating Partnership (“Non-controlling OP Unitholders”) (which may be redeemed for shares of common stock) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations, as there would be no effect on the amounts since the Non-controlling OP Unitholders’ share of earnings would also be added back to net income. Net income figures are presented net of such non-controlling interests in the earnings per share calculation.
We computed basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 reflects additional shares of common stock related to our convertible senior common stock (the “Senior Common Stock”), if the effect of conversion would be dilutive, that would have been outstanding if such dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued, as well as an adjustment to net earnings attributable to common stockholders as applicable to common stockholders that would result from their assumed issuance (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts).

Impairment Charges
We evaluated our portfolio for triggering events to determine if any of our held and used assets were impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and did not recognize an impairment charge. We recognized an impairment charge of $0.5 million on one held for sale asset, located in Richardson, Texas during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In performing our held for sale assessment, the carrying value of this asset was above the fair value, less costs of sale. As a result, we impaired this property to equal the fair market value less costs of sale. We did not recognize an impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

(1)This figure does not include $(0.03) million of premiums and (discounts), net, and $2.0 million of deferred financing costs, which are reflected in mortgage notes payable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We believe we will be able to address all mortgage notes payable maturing over the next 12 months through a combination of refinancing our existing indebtedness, cash from operations, proceeds from one or more equity offerings and availability on our Credit Facility.
Interest Rate Cap and Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We have entered into interest rate cap agreements that cap the interest rate on certain of our variable-rate debt and we have assumed or entered into interest rate swap agreements in which we hedged our exposure to variable interest rates by agreeing to pay fixed interest rates to our respective counterparty. We have adopted the fair value measurement provisions for our financial instruments recorded at fair value. The fair value guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Generally, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate caps and interest rate swaps, in the absence of observable market data, using estimates of value including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs.
The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements is recorded in other assets on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements quarterly based on the current market valuations at quarter end. If the interest rate cap qualifies for hedge accounting, the change in the estimated fair value is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent that it is effective, with any ineffective portion recorded to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. If the interest rate cap does not qualify for hedge accounting, or if it is determined the hedge is ineffective, any change in the fair value is recognized in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $4.6 million will be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, as a reduction to interest expense. The following table summarizes the interest rate caps at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

(1)We have entered into various interest rate cap agreements on variable rate debt with SOFR caps ranging from 1.75% to 5.50%.
We have assumed or entered into interest rate swap agreements in connection with certain of our mortgage financings and Credit Facility, whereby we will pay our counterparty a fixed interest rate on a monthly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equivalent to the stipulated floating rate. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in other assets or other liabilities on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, and we record changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement to accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, and we record changes in the fair value of the respective interest rate swap agreement to accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of all mortgage notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2024 was $251.8 million, as compared to the carrying value stated above of $276.0 million. The fair value is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using management’s estimate of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms and loan to value ratios. The fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”
Credit Facility
On August 18, 2022, we amended, extended and upsized our Credit Facility, increasing our Revolver from $100.0 million to $120.0 million (and its term to August 2026), adding the new $140.0 million Term Loan C, decreasing the principal balance of Term Loan B to $60.0 million and extending the maturity date of Term Loan A to August 2027. Term Loan C has a maturity date of February 18, 2028 and a SOFR spread ranging from 125 to 195 basis points, depending on our leverage. On September 27, 2022, we further increased the Revolver to $125.0 million and Term Loan C to $150.0 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Facility. We entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements on Term Loan C, which swap the interest rate to fixed rates from 3.15% to 3.75%. We incurred fees of approximately $4.2 million in connection with extending and upsizing our Credit Facility. The net proceeds of the transaction were used to repay the then-outstanding borrowings on the Revolver, pay off mortgage debt, and fund acquisitions. The Credit Facility’s current bank syndicate is comprised of KeyBank, Fifth Third Bank, The Huntington National Bank, Bank of America, Synovus Bank, United Bank, First Financial Bank, and S&T Bank.
As of March 31, 2024, there was $446.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.80%, and no outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the Credit Facility was $47.3 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024.
The amount outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates fair value as of March 31, 2024.

Recent Activity
Common Stock ATM Programs
On February 22, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to our At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement with sales agents Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), BTIG, LLC, and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (“Fifth Third”), dated December 3, 2019 (together, the “Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement”). The amendment permitted shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement under the 2020 Registration Statement, and future registration statements on Form S-3. We terminated the Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement effective as of February 10, 2023 in connection with the expiration of the 2020 Registration Statement on February 11, 2023.
On March 3, 2023, we entered into an At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement”), with BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”), Goldman Sachs, Baird, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyBanc”), and Fifth Third (collectively the “Common Stock Sales Agents”). In connection with the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement, we filed prospectus supplements dated March 3, 2023 and March 7, 2023, to the prospectus dated November 23, 2022, with the SEC, for the offer and sale of an aggregate offering amount of up to $250.0 million of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement.
On March 26, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement (the “2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement”). The amendment permitted shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement under the 2024 Registration Statement, and future registration statements on Form S-3. In connection with the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement, we filed a prospectus supplement dated March 26, 2024, to the prospectus dated March 21, 2024, with the SEC, for the offer and sale of an aggregate offering amount of $250.0 million of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement.
Mezzanine Equity
Our 6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), and our 6.00% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred Stock”) are classified as mezzanine equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because both are redeemable at the option of the shareholder upon a change of control of greater than 50%. A change in control of our company, outside of our control, is only possible if a tender offer is accepted by over 90% of our shareholders. All other change in control situations would require input from our Board of Directors. In addition, our Series E Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the applicable shareholder in the event a delisting event occurs.
We will periodically evaluate the likelihood that a delisting event or change of control of greater than 50% will take place, and if we deem this probable, we will adjust the Series E Preferred Stock, and Series G Preferred Stock presented in mezzanine equity to their redemption value, with the offset to gain (loss) on extinguishment. We currently believe the likelihood of a change of control of greater than 50%, or a delisting event, is remote.
Universal Shelf Registration Statements
On November 23, 2022, we filed the 2022 Registration Statement. There was no limit on the aggregate amount of the securities that we could offer pursuant to the 2022 Registration Statement.
On March 13, 2024, we filed the 2024 Registration Statement, which was declared effective on March 21, 2024. The 2024 Registration Statement allows us to issue up to $1.3 billion of securities and replaces the 2022 Registration Statement.
Series F Preferred Stock
On February 20, 2020, we filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation Articles Supplementary (i) setting forth the rights, preferences and terms of the Series F Preferred Stock and (ii) reclassifying and designating 26,000,000 shares of our authorized and unissued shares of common stock as shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 86,290,000 shares immediately prior to the reclassification to 60,290,000 shares immediately after the reclassification. We sold 7,580 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock, raising $0.2 million in net proceeds, during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Non-controlling Interest in Operating Partnership
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we owned approximately 99.2% and 99.2%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.
The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of our common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by us being utilized to make distributions to our common stockholders.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 310,643 and 310,643 outstanding OP Units held by Non-controlling OP Unitholders, respectively.
9. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
All statements contained herein, other than historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements may relate to, among other things, future events or our future performance or financial condition. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “believe,” “will,” “provided,” “anticipate,” “future,” “could,” “growth,” “plan,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “if,” “seek,” “possible,” “potential,” “likely” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, funds from operations or prospects to be materially different from any future business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, funds from operations or prospects expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For further information about these and other factors that could affect our future results, please see the captions titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This Quarterly Report includes statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. We have not independently verified the information contained in such sources.
All references to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this Report mean Gladstone Commercial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where otherwise noted or where the context indicates that the term means only Gladstone Commercial Corporation.
General
We are an externally advised real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland on February 14, 2003. We focus on acquiring, owning, and managing primarily office and industrial properties. Our properties are geographically diversified and our tenants cover a broad cross section of business sectors and range in size from small to very large private and public companies, many of which are corporations that do not have publicly rated debt. We have historically entered into, and intend in the future to enter into, purchase agreements primarily for real estate having net leases with remaining terms of approximately seven to 15 years and contractual rental rate increases. Under a net lease, the tenant is required to pay most or all operating, maintenance, repair and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property.
We actively communicate with buyout funds, real estate brokers and other third parties to locate properties for potential acquisition or to provide mortgage financing in an effort to build our portfolio. We target secondary growth markets that possess favorable economic growth trends, diversified industries, and growing population and employment.
All references to annualized generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) rent are rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease reported evenly over the non-cancelable term of the lease.
As of May 6, 2024:
•we owned 131 properties totaling 16.7 million square feet of rentable space, located in 27 states;
•our occupancy rate was 98.9%;
•the weighted average remaining term of our mortgage debt was 3.9 years and the weighted average interest rate was 4.16%; and
•the average remaining lease term of the portfolio was 6.9 years.
Business Environment
The commercial real estate sector continued to face uncertainty and volatility in the first quarter of 2024. Although the Federal Reserve hinted at potential rate cuts at the end of 2023, higher than expected CPI data, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for all urban consumers, during the first quarter of 2024 has led to a rise in long-term interest rates. This increase has slowed the mortgage market and consequently dampened acquisition activity. As a result, real estate transaction volumes have remained low, with tightened credit standards and rising capital costs preventing many investors from entering the market.
Despite capital markets volatility, the industrial sector continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals, consistently outperforming other real estate categories. Cushman & Wakefield plc (“Cushman”) reported healthy leasing activity in the first quarter of 2024, with transactions amounting to 128.7 million square feet, a 3% increase over the 10-year pre-pandemic average (2010-2019). Net absorption fell quarter over quarter from 48 million square feet to 14 million square feet, but the four-quarter rolling average of 42 million square feet remains in Cushman’s range for 2024. Although new completions continue to exceed net absorption, leading to a rise in the overall vacancy rate, the vacancy rate of 5.8% in Q1 2024 remains below the historical average of 7.0% according to Cushman. Year-over-year, Cushman reports that industrial rents increased by 6%, compared to 10% in 2023 and 20% in 2022. Notably, Cushman reports that eight markets recorded net occupancy gains exceeding 1.0 million square feet in Q1 2024, with significant contributions from Houston (5.1 million square feet), Savannah (3.6 million square feet), Chicago (2.8 million square feet), and Austin (2.4 million square feet). Cushman further notes that the construction pipeline has decreased by 10% since the end of 2023 and is down 40% year-over-year as developers pull back, particularly in speculative builds, due to slowing demand for space and rising interest rates. According to Cushman, this represents the lowest level of future construction activity in three years.
The office sector in Q1 2024 showed mixed outcomes according to Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (“JLL”). Despite improvements in demand, JLL reports that the market still struggles with high negative net absorption, primarily driven by significant space reductions from major occupiers. JLL reports that the overall vacancy rate increased to 21.9%, reflecting ongoing challenges and that development activity has slowed considerably, with new office supply groundbreakings dropping to less than 300,000 square feet, the lowest recorded in nearly 40 years, which points to limited future deliveries. JLL notes that this slowdown, combined with robust inventory removals and conversions, suggests potential stabilization and a move towards market equilibrium in the upcoming years.
Interest rates have been fluctuating due to ongoing concerns about inflation, with the future direction of Federal Reserve rate hikes remaining uncertain. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note, which has risen steadily since the beginning of 2022, ended the first quarter of 2024 at 4.21%.
Despite these macro-economic challenges, we believe that we are well positioned to navigate the current business environment.
We collected 100% of all outstanding cash rents for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In the past, we have received rent modification requests from our tenants, and we may receive additional requests in the future. However, we are unable to quantify the outcomes of the negotiation of relief packages, the success of any tenant’s financial prospects or the amount of relief requests that we will ultimately receive or grant. We believe that we have a diverse tenant base, and specifically, we do not have significant exposure to tenants in the retail, hospitality, airlines, and oil and gas industries. Additionally, our properties are located across 27 states, which we believe mitigates our exposure to economic issues, including regulations or laws implemented by state and local governments, in any one geographic market or area.
We believe we currently have adequate liquidity in the near term, and we believe the availability on our Credit Facility is sufficient to cover all near-term debt obligations and operating expenses and to continue our industrial growth strategy. We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of March 31, 2024. We amended our Credit Facility in 2019 to increase our borrowing capacity and extend its maturity date. In addition, on August 18, 2022, we added a new $150.0 million term loan component. Based on market observations and conversations we routinely have with lenders, we believe that credit continues to be available for well-capitalized borrowers. We continue to monitor our portfolio and intend to maintain a reasonably conservative liquidity position for the foreseeable future.
Other Business Environment Considerations
The geopolitical landscape remains fractured due to recent world events. Many domestic manufacturing businesses seek to limit supply chain disruptions by bringing their operations back to the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic is largely behind us, but a level of work-from-home trends appear to be here to stay. Industrial demand will be further buoyed by government investment in infrastructure and advanced manufacturing operations. The Federal Reserve recently indicated it does not expect additional rate increases, but the timing of an easing cycle remains unknown.
These uncertain times create both risks and opportunities for us and our tenants, and we believe we are well-capitalized and positioned to take advantage.
We continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space, renewing upcoming lease expirations, re-financing upcoming loan maturities, and acquiring additional properties with associated long-term leases. Currently, we have four partially vacant buildings and no fully vacant buildings. Our available vacant space at March 31, 2024 represents 1.1% of our total square footage and the annual carrying costs on the vacant space, including real estate taxes and property operating expenses, are approximately $1.8 million. We continue to actively seek new tenants for these properties.
We believe our lease expiration schedule for the remainder of 2024 is manageable, as it equates to 4.8% of our lease revenue at March 31, 2024. Property acquisitions since the beginning of 2020 have totaled $372.7 million and all but one transaction was industrial in nature, with a weighted average lease term of 13.6 years and a current weighted average lease term today of 10.7 years.
Our ability to make new investments is highly dependent upon our ability to procure financing. Our principal sources of financing generally include the issuance of equity securities, long-term mortgage loans secured by properties, borrowings under our $125.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), which matures in August 2026, our $160.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan A”), which matures in August 2027, our $60.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan B”), which matures in February 2026, and our $150.0 million term loan facility (“Term Loan C”) which matures in February 2028. We refer to the Revolver, Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan C collectively herein as the Credit Facility. While lenders’ credit standards have tightened, we continue to look to national and regional banks, insurance companies and non-bank lenders to make mortgage loans to finance our real estate activities.
Recent Developments
Sale Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we continued to execute our capital recycling program, whereby we sold non-core properties. We expect to continue to execute our capital recycling plan and sell non-core properties as reasonable disposition opportunities become available, and use the sales proceeds to acquire properties in our target, secondary growth markets or pay down outstanding debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold three non-core properties, located in Columbus, Ohio; Draper, Utah; and Richardson, Texas, which are summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Equity Activities
Common Stock ATM Programs
On February 22, 2022, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to our At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement with sales agents Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”), BTIG, LLC, and Fifth Third Securities, Inc. (“Fifth Third”), dated December 3, 2019 (together, the “Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement”). The amendment permitted shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236143) (the “2020 Registration Statement”), and future registration statements on Form S-3. We terminated the Prior Common Stock Sales Agreement effective as of February 10, 2023 in connection with the expiration of the 2020 Registration Statement on February 11, 2023.
On March 3, 2023, we entered into an At-the-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement”), with BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”), Goldman Sachs, Baird, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyBanc”), and Fifth Third (collectively the “Common Stock Sales Agents”). In connection with the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement, we filed prospectus supplements dated March 3, 2023 and March 7, 2023, to the prospectus dated November 23, 2022, with the SEC, for the offer and sale of an aggregate offering amount of $250.0 million of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement.
On March 26, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement (the “2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement”). The amendment permitted shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277877) (the “2024 Registration Statement”), and future registration statements on Form S-3. In connection with the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement, we filed a prospectus supplement dated March 26, 2024, to the prospectus dated March 21, 2024, with the SEC, for the offer and sale of an aggregate offering amount of $250.0 million of common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any shares of common stock under the 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement.
Universal Shelf Registration Statements
On November 23, 2022, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268549) (the “2022 Registration Statement”). There was no limit on the aggregate amount of the securities that we could offer pursuant to the 2022 Registration Statement.
On March 13, 2024, we filed the 2024 Registration Statement, which was declared effective on March 21, 2024. The 2024 Registration Statement allows us to issue up to $1.3 billion of securities and replaces the 2022 Registration Statement.
Series F Preferred Stock Continuous Offering
On February 20, 2020, we filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation Articles Supplementary (i) setting forth the rights, preferences and terms of the Series F Preferred Stock and (ii) reclassifying and designating 26,000,000 shares of our authorized and unissued shares of common stock as shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 86,290,000 shares immediately prior to the reclassification to 60,290,000 shares immediately after the reclassification. We sold 7,580 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock, raising $0.2 million in net proceeds, during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Non-controlling Interest in Operating Partnership
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we owned approximately 99.2% and 99.2%, respectively, of the outstanding operating partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 310,643 and 310,643 outstanding OP Units held by holders who do not control the Operating Partnership (“Non-controlling OP Unitholders”), respectively.
Diversity of Our Portfolio
Gladstone Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (our “Adviser”), seeks to diversify our portfolio to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, industry or geographic market. By diversifying our portfolio, our Adviser intends to reduce the adverse effect on our portfolio of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic market. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our largest tenant comprised only 4.3% of total lease revenue. The table below reflects the breakdown of our total lease revenue by tenant industry classification for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Our Adviser and Administrator
Our Adviser is led by a management team with extensive experience purchasing real estate and originating mortgage loans. Our Adviser and Gladstone Administration, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Administrator”) are controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, who is also our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of both our Adviser and Administrator, as well as president and chief investment officer of our Adviser. Mr. Terry Lee Brubaker, our chief operating officer, is also the vice chairman and chief operating officer of our Adviser and Administrator and assistant secretary of our Adviser. Mr. Arthur “Buzz” Cooper, our president, also serves as executive vice president of commercial and industrial real estate of our Adviser. Our Administrator employs our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary, Michael LiCalsi (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary, as well as executive vice president of administration of our Adviser) and their respective staffs.
Our Adviser and Administrator also provide investment advisory and administrative services, respectively, to certain of our affiliates, including, but not limited to, Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation, both publicly-traded business development companies, as well as Gladstone Land Corporation, a publicly-traded REIT that primarily invests in farmland. With the exception of Mr. Gary Gerson, our chief financial officer, Mr. Jay Beckhorn, our treasurer, and Mr. Cooper, all of our executive officers and all of our directors serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Capital Corporation and Gladstone Investment Corporation. In addition, with the exception of Messrs. Cooper and Gerson, all of our executive officers and all of our directors, serve as either directors or executive officers, or both, of Gladstone Land Corporation. Messrs. Cooper and Gerson do not put forth any material efforts in assisting affiliated companies. In the future, our Adviser may provide investment advisory services to other companies, both public and private.
Advisory and Administration Agreements
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. We have entered into an advisory agreement with our Adviser, as amended from time to time (the “Advisory Agreement”), and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The services and fees under the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement are described below.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, we are responsible for all expenses incurred for our direct benefit. Examples of these expenses include legal, accounting, interest, directors’ and officers’ insurance, stock transfer services, stockholder-related fees, consulting and related fees. In addition, we are also responsible for all fees charged by third parties that are directly related to our business, which include real estate brokerage fees, mortgage placement fees, lease-up fees and transaction structuring fees (although we may be able to pass all or some of such fees on to our tenants and borrowers). Our entrance into the Advisory Agreement and each amendment thereto has been approved unanimously by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors reviews and considers renewing the agreement with our Adviser annually, typically during the month of July. During its July 2023 meeting, our Board of Directors reviewed and renewed the Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement for an additional year, through August 31, 2024.
Base Management Fee
On July 14, 2020, we amended and restated the Advisory Agreement, which replaced the previous calculation of the base management fee with a calculation based on Gross Tangible Real Estate. The revised base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and calculated at an annual rate of 0.425% (0.10625% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined in the Advisory Agreement as the current gross value of our property portfolio (meaning the aggregate of each property’s original acquisition price plus the cost of any subsequent capital improvements thereon). The calculations of the other fees in the Amended Agreement was unchanged.
Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties as is common in other externally managed REITs; however, our Adviser may earn fee income from our borrowers, tenants or other sources.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the calculation of the incentive fee rewards the Adviser in circumstances where our quarterly Core FFO (defined at the end of this paragraph), before giving effect to any incentive fee, or pre-incentive fee Core FFO, exceeds 2.0% quarterly, or 8.0% annualized, of adjusted total stockholders’ equity (after giving effect to the base management fee but before giving effect to the incentive fee).
We refer to this as the hurdle rate. The Adviser will receive 15.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds the hurdle rate. However, in no event shall the incentive fee for a particular quarter exceed by 15.0% (the cap) the average quarterly incentive fee paid by us for the previous four quarters (excluding quarters for which no incentive fee was paid). Core FFO (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) is GAAP net (loss) income (attributable) available to common stockholders, excluding the incentive fee, depreciation and amortization, any realized and unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net (loss) income (attributable) available to common stockholders for the period, and one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP.
On January 10, 2023, we amended and restated the Advisory Agreement by entering into the Seventh Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including specifically, our independent directors. The Seventh Amended Advisory Agreement contractually eliminated the payment of the incentive fee for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The calculation of the other fees was unchanged.
On July 11, 2023, the Company entered into the Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement, as approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including specifically, our independent directors. The Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement contractually eliminated the payment of the incentive fee for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023. In addition, the Eighth Amended Advisory Agreement also clarified that for any future quarter whereby an incentive fee would exceed by greater than 15% the average quarterly incentive fee paid, the measurement would be versus the last four quarters where an incentive fee was actually paid. The calculation of the other fees was unchanged.
Capital Gain Fee
Under the Advisory Agreement, we will pay to the Adviser a capital gain-based incentive fee that will be calculated and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). In determining the capital gain fee, we will calculate aggregate realized capital gains and aggregate realized capital losses for the applicable time period. For this purpose, aggregate realized capital gains and losses, if any, equals the realized gain or loss calculated by the difference between the sales price of the property, less any costs to sell the property and the current gross value of the property (equal to the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent non-reimbursed capital improvements) of the disposed property. At the end of the fiscal year, if this number is positive, then the capital gain fee payable for such time period shall equal 15.0% of such amount. No capital gain fee was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.
Termination Fee
The Advisory Agreement includes a termination fee clause whereby, in the event of our termination of the agreement without cause (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to two times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination. A termination fee is also payable if the Adviser terminates the agreement after the Company has defaulted and applicable cure periods have expired. The agreement may also be terminated for cause by us (with 30 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), with no termination fee payable. Cause is defined in the Advisory Agreement to include if the Adviser breaches any material provisions of the agreement, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Adviser, dissolution of the Adviser and fraud or misappropriation of funds.
Administration Agreement
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead expenses in performing its obligations to us including, but not limited to, rent and our allocable portion of the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including, but not limited to, our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel and secretary), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses are generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the appropriate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under contractual agreements.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
A summary of all of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2024 (our “2023 Form 10-K”). There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Results of Operations
The weighted average yield on our total portfolio, which was 8.5% and 7.9% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is calculated by taking the annualized straight-line rents plus operating expense recoveries, reflected as lease revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income, less property operating expenses, of each acquisition since inception, as a percentage of the acquisition cost plus subsequent capital improvements. The weighted average yield does not account for the interest expense incurred on the mortgages placed on our properties.

Same Store Analysis
For the purposes of the following discussion, same store properties are properties we owned as of January 1, 2023, which have not been subsequently vacated or disposed of. Acquired and disposed of properties are properties which were acquired, disposed of or classified as held for sale at any point subsequent to December 31, 2022. Properties with vacancy are properties that were fully vacant or had greater than 5.0% vacancy, based on square footage, at any point subsequent to January 1, 2023.

Lease revenues consist of rental income and operating expense recoveries earned from our tenants. Lease revenues from same store properties increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to an increase in rental rates from the leasing activity subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Lease revenues decreased for acquired and disposed of properties for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to loss of lease revenue including variable lease payments from the 10 property sales subsequent to March 31, 2023, and partially offset by lease revenue from the five properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2023. Lease revenues increased for our properties with vacancy for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to an increase in rental revenue from partially leasing vacant space and variable lease payments due to an increase in property operating expenses.
Operating Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the depreciation errors corrected, as outlined in Note 1 and Note 9, coupled with the reduced depreciation and amortization expense from the 10 property sales subsequent to March 31, 2023, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense on the five properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2023.

Property operating expenses consist of franchise taxes, property management fees, insurance, ground lease payments, property maintenance and repair expenses paid on behalf of certain of our properties. The decrease in property operating expenses for same store properties for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from the comparable 2023 period, was a result of a decrease in franchise taxes, partially offset by general cost increases due to the inflationary environment during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in property operating expenses for acquired and disposed of properties for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from the comparable 2023 period, is a result of a decrease in property operating expenses from the 10 property sales subsequent to March 31, 2023, minimally offset by the property operating expense from the five properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2023. The increase in property operating expenses for properties with vacancy for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, is a result of general cost increases due to the inflationary environment during the same period.
The base management fee paid to the Adviser decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to a decrease in Gross Tangible Real Estate over the three months ended March 31, 2024 from property sales as compared to Gross Tangible Real Estate during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The calculation of the base management fee is described in detail above in “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”
The incentive fee paid to the Adviser increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the payment of the incentive fee being contractually eliminated for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, as outlined in the Seventh Amended Advisory Agreement. We recorded an incentive fee, which was partially waived, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The calculation of the incentive fee is described in detail above in “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”
The administration fee paid to the Administrator increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to our Administrator incurring greater costs that are allocated to us. The calculation of the administration fee is described in detail above in “Advisory and Administration Agreements.”
General and administrative expenses remained consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of increased interest costs on variable rate debt, as global interest rates have increased in reaction to growing inflation, coupled with costs associated with the maturity of several interest rate caps.
We sold three non-core office properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and as a result, incurred a gain on sale of real estate, net, and a gain on debt extinguishment, net. There were no property sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to nonrecurring income items that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders
Net income available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders increased for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, as revised, primarily due a decrease in depreciation and amortization from the 10 property sales subsequent to March 31, 2023 and gains on sale, net, and debt extinguishment, net. This was partially offset by depreciation and amortization from the five properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 2023, impairment charges in the current period, an increase in interest expense due to higher borrowing costs on variable rate debt due to global interest rate expansion, and the Incentive Fee in the current period, which was contractually eliminated in the prior period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our Credit Facility and issuing additional equity securities. Our available liquidity as of March 31, 2024 was $57.8 million, consisting of approximately $10.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $47.3 million under our Credit Facility. Our available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility increased to $49.1 million as of May 6, 2024.
Future Capital Needs
We actively seek conservative investments that we expect are likely to produce income to pay distributions to our stockholders. We intend to use the proceeds received from future equity raised and debt capital borrowed to continue to invest in industrial and office real property, make mortgage loans, or pay down outstanding borrowings under our Revolver. Accordingly, to ensure that we are able to effectively execute our business strategy, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity. Our short-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing long-term mortgages, refinancing maturing debt and fund our current operating costs. Our long-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to grow and maintain our portfolio of investments.
We believe that our available liquidity is sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders, pay the debt service costs on our existing long-term mortgages and fund our current operating costs in the near term. We also believe we will be able to refinance our mortgage debt as it matures. Additionally, to satisfy our short-term obligations, we may request credits to our management fees that are issued from our Adviser, although our Adviser is under no obligation to provide any such credits, either in whole or in part.
We further believe that our cash flow from operations coupled with the financing capital available to us in the future are sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs.
Equity Capital
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not sell any common equity under either the 2023 Common Stock Sales Agreement or 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement. We raised net proceeds of $0.2 million from sales of our Series F Preferred Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
As of May 6, 2024, we had the ability to raise up to $1.1 billion of additional equity capital through the sale and issuance of securities that are registered under the 2024 Registration Statement, in one or more future public offerings. We expect to continue to use our 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement as a source of liquidity for the remainder of 2024.
Debt Capital
As of March 31, 2024, we had 39 mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $278.0 million, collateralized by a total of 45 properties with a remaining weighted average maturity of 4.0 years. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of March 31, 2024 was 4.16%.
We continue to see banks and other non-bank lenders willing to issue mortgages for properties comparable to those held in our portfolio on terms that are commercially reasonable. Consequently, we remain focused on obtaining mortgages through insurance companies, regional banks, non-bank lenders and, to a lesser extent, the commercial mortgage backed securities market.
As of March 31, 2024, we had mortgage debt in the aggregate principal amount of $14.3 million payable during the remainder of 2024 and $27.1 million payable during 2025. The 2024 principal amount payable includes both amortizing principal payments and one balloon principal payment due during the remaining nine months of 2024. We anticipate being able to refinance our mortgages that come due during 2025 with a combination of new mortgage debt, availability under our Credit Facility, the issuance of additional equity securities under our 2024 Common Stock Sales Agreement, or the sale and issuance of other equity securities (including our Series F Preferred Stock) that are registered under the 2024 Registration Statement.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $15.0 million, remained consistent with net cash provided by operating activities of $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the lease revenues that we receive from our tenants. We utilize this cash to fund our property-level operating expenses and use the excess cash primarily for debt and interest payments on our mortgage notes payable, interest payments on our Credit Facility, distributions to our stockholders, management fees to our Adviser, Administration fees to our Administrator and other entity-level operating expenses.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $18.5 million, which primarily consisted of proceeds from three property sales, offset by capital improvements performed at certain of our properties. Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $0.7 million, which primarily consisted of receipts from tenant escrow, partially offset by capital improvements performed at certain of our properties and deposits on future acquisitions.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $34.7 million, which primarily consisted of $19.8 million of mortgage principal repayments, and distributions paid to common, senior common and preferred shareholders, partially offset by the issuance of $0.2 million of equity and net borrowings on our credit facility. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $12.8 million, which primarily consisted of $5.0 million of mortgage debt repayments, and distributions paid to common, senior common and preferred shareholders, partially offset by the issuance of $4.6 million of common and preferred equity and net borrowings on our credit facility.
Credit Facility
On August 18, 2022, we amended, extended and upsized our Credit Facility, increasing our Revolver from $100.0 million to $120.0 million (and its term to August 2026), adding the new $140.0 million Term Loan C, decreasing the principal balance of Term Loan B to $60.0 million and extending the maturity date of Term Loan A to August 2027. Term Loan C has a maturity date of February 18, 2028 and a SOFR spread ranging from 125 to 195 basis points, depending on our leverage. On September 27, 2022, we further increased the Revolver to $125.0 million and the Term Loan C to $150.0 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Facility. We entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements on Term Loan A and Term Loan C, which swap the interest rate to fixed rates from 3.15% to 3.75%. We incurred fees of approximately $4.2 million in connection with extending and upsizing our Credit Facility. The net proceeds of the transaction were used to repay the then-outstanding borrowings on the Revolver, pay off mortgage debt, and fund acquisitions. The Credit Facility’s current bank syndicate is comprised of KeyBank, Fifth Third Bank, The Huntington National Bank, Bank of America, Synovus Bank, United Bank, First Financial Bank, and S&T Bank.
As of March 31, 2024, there was $446.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.80% and no outstanding letters of credit. As of May 6, 2024, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the Credit Facility was $49.1 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024.

(1)Debt obligations represent borrowings under our Revolver, which represents $76.0 million of the debt obligation due in 2026, our Term Loan A, which represents $160.0 million of the debt obligation due in 2027, our Term Loan B, which represents $60.0 million of the debt obligation due in 2026, our Term Loan C, which represents $150.0 million of the debt obligation due in 2028 and mortgage notes payable that were outstanding as of March 31, 2024. This figure does not include $(0.03) million of premiums and (discounts), net and $4.6 million of deferred financing costs, net, which are reflected in mortgage notes payable, net and borrowings under Term Loan, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Interest on debt obligations includes estimated interest on borrowings under our Revolver and Term Loan and mortgage notes payable. The balance and interest rate on our Revolver, Term Loan A, Term Loan B and Term Loan C is variable; thus, the interest payment obligation calculated for purposes of this table was based upon rates and balances as of March 31, 2024.
(3)Operating lease obligations represent the ground lease payments due on three of our properties.
(4)Purchase obligations consist of tenant and capital improvements at seven of our properties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024.
Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed Funds from Operations (“FFO”) as a relevant non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the same basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparison of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.
FFO available to common stockholders is FFO adjusted to subtract distributions made to holders of preferred stock and senior common stock. We believe that net income available to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO available to common stockholders.
Basic funds from operations per share (“Basic FFO per share”), and diluted funds from operations per share (“Diluted FFO per share”), is FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and FFO available to common stockholders divided by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding on a diluted basis, respectively, during a period. We believe that FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO per share and Diluted FFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and earnings per share (“EPS”), in evaluating net income available to common stockholders. In addition, because most REITs provide FFO available to common stockholders, Basic FFO and Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO, Basic EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO per share, and that Diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income available to common stockholders, and a computation of basic and diluted FFO per weighted average share of common stock:

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The primary risk that we believe we are and will be exposed to is interest rate risk. Certain of our leases contain escalations based on market indices, and the interest rate on our Credit Facility is variable. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by structuring such provisions of our loans and leases to contain a minimum interest rate or escalation rate, as applicable, these features do not eliminate this risk. To that end, we have entered into derivative contracts to cap interest rates for our variable rate notes payable, and we have entered into interest rate swaps whereby we pay a fixed interest rate to our respective counterparty, and receive SOFR in return. For details regarding our rate cap agreements and our interest rate swap agreements see Note 6, “Mortgage Notes Payable and Credit Facility” of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
To illustrate the potential impact of changes in interest rates on our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we have performed the following analysis, which assumes that our condensed consolidated balance sheets remain constant and that no further actions beyond a minimum interest rate or escalation rate are taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity.
The following table summarizes the annual impact of a 1%, 2% and 3% increase, and a 1%, 2% and 3% decrease in SOFR as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, our effective average SOFR was 5.34%. The impact of these fluctuations is presented below (dollars in thousands).

As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of our mortgage debt outstanding was $251.8 million. Interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our debt instruments. If interest rates on our debt instruments, using rates at March 31, 2024, had been one percentage point higher or lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased or increased by $8.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
The amount outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates fair value as of March 31, 2024.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of our Revolver, Term Loans (i.e. Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and Term Loan C), or long-term mortgage debt, which we use to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees and borrowers, all of which may affect our ability to refinance debt, if necessary.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures. |
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2024, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024 in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings. |
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. However, from time to time we may be party to various litigation matters, typically involving ordinary course and routine claims incidental to our business, which we may not consider material.
Our business is subject to certain risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. For a discussion of these risks, please refer to the section captioned “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There are no material changes to risks associated with our business or investment in our securities from those previously set forth in the report described above.

Document
Exhibit 99.1
Pursuant to FINRA Rules 2310(b)(5) and 2231(c), Gladstone Commercial Corporation (the “Company”) determined the estimated value as of March 31, 2024, of its 6.00% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), $25.00 stated value per share, with the assistance of a third-party valuation service. In particular, the third-party valuation service reviewed the amount resulting from the consolidated undepreciated book value of the Company’s assets less its contractual liabilities, divided by the number of shares of the Company’s Series E, F, and G Preferred Stock outstanding, all as reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to which this exhibit is attached, which were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Based on this methodology and because the result from the calculation above is greater than the $25.00 per share stated value of the Company's Series F Preferred Stock, the Company has determined that the estimated value of its Series F Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2024, is $25.00 per share.
