NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2025
(Unaudited, dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2025, as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The Company was formed on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States. The Company’s strategic plan, implemented with a view toward creating a liquidity event for stockholders, has recently focused primarily on acquiring and owning a portfolio substantially all of which is comprised of grocery-anchored properties. As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned 52 retail properties, totaling 7.2 million square feet. The properties are located in 24 states. A majority of the Company’s properties are multi-tenant, necessity-based retail shopping centers located primarily in major regional markets and growing secondary markets throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio had physical and economic occupancy of 90.9% and 91.5%, respectively.
The Company has no employees. The Company is managed by IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”). Various affiliates of the Sponsor provide services to the Company through the Business Manager, which is responsible for overseeing and managing the Company’s day-to-day operations. The Company’s president and chief executive officer, Mark Zalatoris, serves in these capacities pursuant to an agreement the Company entered into with Mr. Zalatoris referred to herein as the “CEO Agreement.” Under the CEO Agreement, the Company compensates Mr. Zalatoris directly for his services. The Company’s relationship with the Business Manager is governed by the Amended and Restated Fourth Business Management Agreement (the “Fourth Business Management Agreement”) that the Company has entered into with the Business Manager. Under the Fourth Business Management Agreement, the Company pays the Business Manager a fee for the services it provides to the Company and reimburses the Business Manager for certain expenses that the Business Manager incurs on the Company’s behalf. The fee payable to the Business Manager is reduced, however, by any payments made to Mr. Zalatoris under the CEO Agreement. Mr. Zalatoris is not an employee of the Company and is not an officer or director of the Business Manager but has the authority under the CEO Agreement and the Fourth Business Management Agreement to direct the day-to-day operations of the Business Manager. The Company’s properties are managed by Inland Commercial Real Estate Services LLC (the “Real Estate Manager”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Sponsor.
On September 18, 2024, the Company announced that its board of directors had decided to begin a review of strategic alternatives, including sale of the Company. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, the board’s review of strategic alternatives is continuing and there is no set timeline for completing the review. The outcome of this review and any potential transaction or event that may result from the review will depend on several factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control. The board may conclude that it is in the Company’s best interest to continue with its existing business plan and to not seek a transaction or event creating liquidity for stockholders.
On September 18, 2024, in connection with the process to review strategic alternatives, including the sale of the Company, the board of directors of the Company suspended both the distribution reinvestment plan (as amended, the “DRP”) and the share repurchase program (as amended, the “SRP”), effective as of October 1, 2024.
There is no established trading market for the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Disclosures discussing all significant accounting policies are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2025, under the heading Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025, except as noted below.
General
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and require 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods are presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
Restricted Cash
Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements on the Company's existing properties. These amounts also include post close escrows for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, master lease, general repairs and maintenance, and are classified as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets to such amounts shown on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows:
| March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 8,051 | $ | 7,708 |
| Restricted cash | 480 | 479 | ||
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 8,531 | $ | 8,187 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years that began after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years that began after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07 and updated its disclosures pertaining to having a single reportable segment. See Note 11 – “Segment Reporting” for further information. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued but Not Yet Effective
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures related to rate reconciliation and income taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods that began after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s 2025 annual consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date, which revised the effective date of ASU 2024-03 for interim periods. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures in the notes to the financial statements on specified information about certain costs and expenses that are included on the face of the income statement for each interim and annual reporting period. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – EQUITY
The Company commenced an initial public “best efforts” offering (the “Offering”) on October 18, 2012, which concluded on October 16, 2015. The Company sold 33,534,022 shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of $834,399 from the Offering. The board last published an Estimated Per Share NAV in March 2024 but does not intend to publish a new estimate while reviewing or considering strategic alternatives. The board will consider evaluating net asset value and publishing an estimate if the strategic review does not result
in a liquidity event or the board terminates its review of strategic alternatives. As of March 31, 2025, there were 36,104,130 shares of common stock outstanding including 6,760,659 shares issued through the DRP and 23,119 vested restricted shares, net of 4,213,670 shares repurchased through the SRP. See Note 10 – “Equity-Based Compensation” for further information on restricted shares.
Prior to the suspension, the Company provided the following programs to facilitate additional investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On September 18, 2024, the board suspended the DRP effective as of October 1, 2024 in connection with the board’s review of strategic alternatives. Prior to the suspension, the Company, through the DRP, provided stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares from the Company by reinvesting cash distributions, subject to certain share ownership restrictions. There were no selling commissions or other fees such as marketing contribution or due diligence expense reimbursements paid in connection with any purchases under the DRP. Pursuant to the DRP, the price per share for shares of common stock purchased under the DRP was equal to the estimated value of one share, as determined by the Company’s board of directors and reported by the Company from time to time.
While the DRP remains suspended, stockholders that previously participated in the DRP are not permitted to reinvest distributions paid by the Company in additional shares. Any prior reinvested distributions will not be impacted. Although the Company expects to continue paying distributions during the pendency of the review of strategic alternatives, the DRP will no longer be a source of capital while it remains suspended.
There were $0 and $1,691 distributions reinvested through the DRP during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
On September 18, 2024, the board suspended the SRP effective as of October 1, 2024 in connection with the board’s review of strategic alternatives. Prior to the suspension, the Company was authorized, through the SRP, to repurchase shares from stockholders who purchased their shares directly from the Company as opposed to another stockholder or received their shares through a non-cash transfer and have held their shares for at least one year. The SRP is governed by the terms of the Fifth Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “Fifth SRP”) adopted by the board on November 7, 2023, effective on December 27, 2023. Repurchases are made in the Company’s sole discretion. In the case of repurchases made upon the death of a stockholder or qualifying disability (“Exceptional Repurchases”), as defined in the SRP, the one year holding period did not apply. Under the Fifth SRP, the board of directors had the discretion to establish the proceeds available to fund repurchases each quarter and could use proceeds from all sources available to the Company, in the board of directors’ sole discretion. The board of directors also had the discretion to determine the amount of repurchases, if any, to be made each quarter based on its evaluation of the Company’s business, cash needs and any other requirements of applicable law. The entirety of the Fifth SRP can be found on the Company’s website. During the suspension, the Company will not repurchase shares under the SRP. Any outstanding repurchase requests will automatically roll over for processing under the terms and conditions of the SRP if the SRP is reinstated unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase. There is no assurance the SRP will be reinstated. Even if reinstated, the SRP contains numerous restrictions that limit the stockholders’ ability to sell their shares. The board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the SRP. The SRP will immediately terminate if the Company’s shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange.
Repurchases through the SRP were $0 and $1,691 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There was no liability related to the SRP as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
NOTE 4 – LEASES
The Company is lessor under approximately 810 retail operating leases. The remaining lease terms for the Company’s leases range from less than 1 year to 15 years. The Company considers the date on which it makes a leased space available to a lessee as the commencement date of the lease. At commencement, the Company determines the lease classification utilizing the classification tests under ASC 842. Options to extend a lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the tenant will exercise its option to extend. Termination penalties are included in income when there is a termination agreement, all the conditions of the agreement have been met and amounts due are considered collectable. Such termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term in rental income. If an operating lease is modified and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the Company accounts for the modification as if it were a termination of the existing lease and the creation of a new lease. The Company considers any prepaid or accrued rentals relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the modified lease. The Company includes options to modify the original lease term when it is reasonably certain that the tenant will exercise its option to extend.
Most of the revenue from the Company’s properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases. Most leases require the tenant to pay monthly fixed base rent in advance, and to reimburse the Company for the tenant’s pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the Company and recoverable under the terms of the lease. Under these leases, the Company pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant’s pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid.
Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed base rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy. Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Under leases where all expenses are paid by the Company, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses. Reimbursements for common area maintenance are considered non-lease components that are permitted to be combined with rental income. The combined lease component and reimbursements for insurance and taxes are reported as rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Rental income related to the Company's operating leases is comprised of the following:
| Three Months Ended<br> March 31, | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Rental income - fixed payments | $ | 30,001 | $ | 28,290 | |

The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired above market lease value and acquired below market lease value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as an adjustment to rental income. For below market lease values, the amortization period includes any renewal periods with fixed rate renewals. The portion of the purchase price allocated to acquired in-place lease value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the acquired leases’ weighted average remaining term.
Amortization pertaining to acquired in-place lease value, above market lease value and below market lease value is summarized below:

| (Less): Unamortized debt issuance costs | (1,634 | ) | (1,933 | ) | ||||||||
| Total debt | $ | 835,957 | $ | 835,746 |
The Company’s indebtedness bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 4.55% per annum as of March 31, 2025, which includes the effects of interest rate swaps. The Company estimates the fair value of its total debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s lenders using Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s debt excluding unamortized debt issuance costs was $837,591 and $837,679 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and its estimated fair value was $835,523 and $834,949 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, scheduled principal payments and maturities on the Company’s debt were as follows:
| March 31, 2025 | ||||||||

Credit Facility Payable
On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, individually and as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers, and other lenders from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $350,000 to $475,000. The Credit Facility consists of the “Revolving Credit Facility” providing revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $200,000 and a term loan facility (the term loans funded under such commitments, the “Term Loan”) providing term loan commitments in an aggregate amount of $275,000 (increased from $150,000). On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement Regarding Incremental Term Loans (the “First Amendment”), amending the terms of the Credit Agreement primarily to draw an additional $300,000. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a total of $1,200,000, subject to certain conditions.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $125,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $575,000 outstanding under the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 6.33% and 4.30%, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2026, and the Company has the option to extend the maturity date for one additional year subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other conditions. The Term Loan matures on February 3, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest equal to one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin, the amount of which depends on the Company’s leverage ratio.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had a maximum amount of $75,000 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility, including compliance with the covenants which could further limit the amount available. Although all of the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility is available to pay off existing mortgages, due to the covenant limitations, the Company expects to have substantially less than all $75,000 available to draw or otherwise undertake as additional debt.
The Company’s performance of the obligations under the Credit Facility, including the payment of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company, including each of the subsidiaries of the Company which owns or leases any of the properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties comprising the borrowing base. Additional properties will be added to and removed from the pool from time to time to support amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility so long as at any time there are at least fifteen unencumbered properties with an unencumbered pool value of $300,000 or more. As of March 31, 2025, there were 47 properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties.
The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement, a limitation on the use of leverage, a distribution limitation, restrictions on indebtedness and investment restrictions, as defined. It also contains customary default provisions including the failure to comply with the Company's covenants and the failure to pay when amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility become due. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Facility as amended.
Mortgages Payable
The Company’s mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was current on all of its debt service payments and in compliance with all financial covenants. All of the Company’s mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on the respective real estate assets. As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average years to maturity for the Company’s mortgages payable was
0.7
years.
As of May 7, 2025, the Company has four mortgage loans maturing in the next twelve months. The mortgage loans had an aggregate principal balance of $137,591 as of March 31, 2025. The Company intends to repay amounts due with cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds available under the Revolving Credit Facility or proceeds from refinancing of mortgage loans.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix certain of its floating SOFR based debt under variable rate loans to a fixed rate to manage its risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company will generally match the maturity of the underlying variable rate debt with the maturity date on the interest swap. See Note 13 – “Fair Value Measurements” for further information.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had hedged its variable rate mortgage loan of $26,000 and $525,000 of the Term Loan using interest rate swap contracts. The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

| Reclassification adjustment for amounts included in net loss (effective portion) | $ | (2,900 | ) | $ | (4,337 | ) |
The total amount of interest expense presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $9,727 and $10,430 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net gain or loss reclassified into income from accumulated other comprehensive income is reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss). The amount that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income (loss) in the next 12 months is $9,708.
NOTE 7 – DISTRIBUTIONS
The table below presents the distributions paid and declared during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
| Three Months Ended<br> March 31, | ||||

| Distributions paid | $ | 4,898 | $ | 4,905 |
| Distributions declared | $ | 4,898 | $ | 4,902 |
NOTE 8 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the “common shares”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the common shares plus common share equivalents. The Company excludes antidilutive restricted shares from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. As a result of a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 4,358 and 3,602 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, because they would have been antidilutive.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company may be subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 10 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Company’s Employee and Director Restricted Share Plan (“RSP”), restricted shares generally vest over a one to three year vesting period from the date of the grant, subject to the specific terms of the grant. In accordance with the RSP, restricted shares are issued to non-employee directors as compensation. Restricted shares are included in common stock outstanding on the date of the vesting. The grant-date value of the restricted shares is amortized over the vesting period representing the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares issued to the non-employee directors was $34 and $24, in the aggregate, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $152 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested restricted shares, in the aggregate. The weighted average remaining period that compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares will be recognized is
1.58
years. There were no restricted shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. A summary table of the status of the restricted shares is presented below:
| Restricted Shares | ||
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 13,153 | |
| Granted | — | |
| Vested | — | |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2025 | 13,153 |
NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has one reportable segment as defined by GAAP, retail real estate, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The retail real estate segment derives revenue from rents received under long-term operating leases. The accounting policies of the retail real estate segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies for the Company.
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assess performance for the retail real estate segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss), which is reported on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s CODM is its
CEO
. All the significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Property operating expenses reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily include common area maintenance, compensation, insurance and other costs
related to the leasing of properties. General and administrative expenses reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) primarily include reimbursements to the Business Manager for costs relating to the Company’s administration, professional fees, insurance and board costs. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
NOTE 12 – TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

- The Business Manager and its related parties are entitled to reimbursement for certain general and administrative expenses incurred by the Business Manager or its related parties relating to the Company’s administration. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Unpaid amounts are included in due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.
- For each property that is managed by the Real Estate Manager, the Company pays a monthly real estate management fee of up to 1.9% of the gross income from any single-tenant, net-leased property, and up to 3.9% of the gross income from any other property type. The Real Estate Manager determines, in its sole discretion, the amount of the fee with respect to a particular property, subject to the limitations. For each property that is managed directly by the Real Estate Manager or its affiliates, the Company pays the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee. Further, in the event that the Company engages its Real Estate Manager to provide construction management services for a property, the Company pays a separate construction management fee. Leasing fees are included in deferred costs, net and construction management fees are included in building and other improvements in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also reimburses the Real Estate Manager and its affiliates for property-level expenses that they pay or incur on the Company’s behalf, including the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons performing services for the Real Estate Manager and its affiliates except for the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons who also serve as an executive officer of the Real Estate Manager or the Company. Real estate management fees and reimbursable expenses are included in property operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
- The Company pays the Business Manager an annual business management fee equal to 0.55% of its “averaged invested assets.” The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1375% of its average invested assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. “Average invested assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of the Company’s assets, including all intangibles and goodwill, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in, and loans secured by, properties, as well as amounts invested in securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before reserves for amortization and depreciation or bad debts, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of these values at the end of each month during the relevant calendar quarter. Unpaid amounts are included in due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets. The Business Management Agreement terminates on March 31, 2027.
On January 19, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Business Management Agreement with the Business Manager effective February 1, 2024, to, among other things, provide the Company with the authority to engage a person not affiliated with or employed by the Business Manager to serve as president and chief executive officer of the Company and to reduce the business management fee payable to the Business Manager by the amount of any payment made to any third-party person as compensation for service as the Company’s president and chief executive officer. In connection with the CEO Agreement entered into with Mr. Zalatoris, the Business Management Fee is reduced by the amount of any payments made to Mr. Zalatoris under the CEO Agreement. The foregoing description is qualified by reference to the Fourth Business Management Agreement in its entirety. During the three months ended March 31, 2025
and 2024, total costs incurred under the CEO Agreement were $88 and $59, respectively. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company defines fair value based on the price that it believes would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
| Level 1 − | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. |
|---|---|
| Level 2 − | Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 − | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |
The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial and non-financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the table below presents the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| Fair Value | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||
| March 31, 2025 | ||||||||
| Interest rate swap agreements - Other assets | $ | — | $ | 14,187 | $ | — | $ | 14,187 |
| Interest rate swap agreements - Other liabilities | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
| Interest rate swap agreements - Other assets | $ | — | $ | 19,437 | $ | — | $ | 19,437 |
| Interest rate swap agreements - Other liabilities | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — |
The fair value of derivative instruments was estimated based on data observed in the forward yield curve which is widely observed in the marketplace. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements which utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. The Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative interest rate swap agreements and therefore has classified these in Level 2 of the hierarchy.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2025 through the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued to determine whether any of these events required disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
There were no reportable subsequent events or transactions.

(which we refer to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2025, some of which are summarized below:
•Our board is reviewing strategic alternatives, including sale of the Company. There is no set timeline for completing this review and no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will lead to a sale of the Company or some other liquidity event or the price that stockholders may receive in a sale or have available in an alternative liquidity event;
•During the pendency of our board’s review of strategic alternatives, we do not expect to acquire new properties or engage in redevelopment activities which may negatively impact our ability to grow our assets and income;
•There are inherent risks with real estate investments. For example, an investment in real estate cannot generally be quickly sold, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Investments in real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which, for example, reduce the demand for rental space;
•Volatility in financial markets and challenging economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to refinance maturing debt on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all;
•Market disruptions and uncertainties resulting from any future global pandemic or epidemic, the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas and between Russia and Ukraine, NATO and the international community’s response thereto and other geopolitical events affecting the financing markets generally, inflation, tariffs, changes in governmental programs or spending, volatility in interest rates, supply chain shortages that affect our tenants or other disruptions caused by events beyond our control may adversely impact the economy generally and the retail sector in particular;
•We have incurred net losses on a GAAP basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and future net losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operations, cash flow, and our ability to service our indebtedness or pay distributions to our stockholders;
•Our Business Manager and its affiliates face conflicts of interest caused by, among other things, their compensation arrangements with us, and the simultaneous overlapping leadership roles certain of our executive officers have at the Business Manager and its affiliates, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders;
•Our Sponsor may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Manager;
•We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Manager or any other affiliates of our Sponsor;
•We pay fees, which may be significant, to our Business Manager, Real Estate Manager and other affiliates of our Sponsor;
•Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs sponsored by our Sponsor or Inland Private Capital Corporation for, among other things, tenants;
•Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to forgo or defer its business management fee; and
•If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders, if any, will be adversely affected.

The following discussion and analysis relates to the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our stockholders should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We routinely post important information about us and our business, including financial and other information for investors, on our website. We encourage investors to visit our website at inland-investments.com/inland-income-trust from time to time, as information is updated and new information is posted.
Overview
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2013. Our strategic plan, implemented with a view toward creating a liquidity event for stockholders, has recently focused primarily on acquiring and owning a portfolio substantially all of which is comprised of grocery-anchored properties. On September 18, 2024, we announced our board’s decision to review strategic alternatives, including the sale of the Company. The board engaged a financial advisor to assist with this review and has conducted an outreach to entities viewed as potential purchasers seeking offers for the entire Company. This process is continuing but there is no timeline for completing this review, especially in light of volatility and uncertainty existing in the market relating to tariffs, interest rates and economic conditions. There is no assurance that a sale, merger or other transaction creating a liquidity event will result from the process or the price or value that may be agreed upon in any such transaction. The board may further reevaluate other alternatives or decide to suspend or terminate its review of strategic alternatives and continue operating pursuant to our existing strategic plan. During the pendency of this review, we do not expect to acquire any properties or redevelop existing properties although we may sell properties on an individual basis.
We raised equity capital through a “best efforts” offering that commenced on October 18, 2012, and concluded on October 16, 2015. We sold 33,534,022 shares of common stock in the offering generating gross proceeds of $834.4 million. We have also generated equity capital through the sale of shares through our DRP. As of March 31, 2025, we had issued a total of 6,760,659 shares through the DRP generating aggregate proceeds of $148.1 million. The DRP has, however, been suspended pending the board’s review of strategic alternatives.
As of March 31, 2025, we owned 52 retail properties, totaling 7.2 million square feet located in 24 states. A majority of our properties are multi-tenant, necessity-based retail shopping centers located primarily in major regional markets and growing secondary markets throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2025, grocery-anchored or grocery shadow-anchored shopping center properties represented 87% of our annualized base rent. A grocery shadow-anchored shopping center is a shopping center near a grocery store that we do not own and is not a part of our shopping center but that we believe generates traffic for our shopping center. As of March 31, 2025, our portfolio had physical and economic occupancy of 90.9% and 91.5%, respectively. Physical and economic occupancy declined approximately 2.2% and 1.9%, respectively, from December 31, 2024, as a result of certain anchor tenants vacating their locations. As of March 31, 2025, annualized base rent (“ABR”) per square foot averaged $19.96 for all owned properties. ABR is calculated by annualizing the monthly base rent for leases in-place as of the applicable date, excluding ground leases. ABR including ground leases averaged $17.06 as of March 31, 2025. There were no acquisitions or dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We have no employees and are externally managed and advised by IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., referred to herein as our “Business Manager,” to whom we pay fees and reimburse certain expenses for the services provided to us. Our president and chief executive officer, Mark Zalatoris, serves in these capacities pursuant to an agreement we entered into with Mr. Zalatoris which, as amended, is referred to herein as the “CEO Agreement.” Under this agreement, we compensate Mr. Zalatoris directly for his services. Our relationship with the Business Manager is governed by the Amended and Restated Fourth Business Management Agreement (the “Fourth Business Management Agreement”) that we have entered into with the Business Manager. Under the Fourth Business Management Agreement, we pay the Business Manager a fee for the services it provides to the Company and reimburse the Business Manager for certain expenses that it incurs on the Company’s behalf. The fee that we pay to the Business Manager is reduced dollar for dollar for amounts we pay to Mr. Zalatoris under the CEO Agreement. Mr. Zalatoris is not an employee of the Company and is not an officer or director of the Business Manager but has the authority under the CEO Agreement and the Fourth Business Management Agreement to direct the day-to-day operations of the Business Manager. Our properties are managed by Inland Commercial Real Estate Services LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of our Sponsor.
Inflation and Interest Rates
Inflationary pressures and volatility in interest rates, as well as the imposition of new duties, tariffs, trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures by the U.S. and other governments, could reduce consumer spending and adversely impact retailer profitability, particularly if rates rise which may impact our ability to increase rents as well as tenant demand for new and existing store locations. Regardless of inflation levels, base rent under most of our long-term anchor leases remain constant (subject to tenants’ exercise of renewal options at pre-negotiated rent increases) until the expiration of their lease terms, regardless of the inflation rate for any particular period. While many of our leases require tenants to pay their share of shopping center operating expenses (including common area maintenance, real estate tax and insurance expenses), our ability to collect the expense increases passed through to tenants is dependent on their ability to absorb and pay these increases. Inflation may also impact other aspects of our operating costs, including fees paid to service providers, the cost to complete redevelopments and build-outs of recently leased vacancies and interest rate costs relating to variable rate loans and refinancing of lower fixed-rate indebtedness. While we have not been significantly impacted by any of these items to date, no assurances can be provided that these inflationary pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Since 2015, we have generated the bulk of our capital through borrowings.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $125 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $575 million outstanding under the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 6.33% and 4.30%, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 7.33% and 4.39%, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2026 subject to a twelve month extension, at the Company’s option. The Term Loan matures on February 3, 2027. As of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we had $75 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions, including compliance with the covenants which could further limit the amount available, of the Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility. Although $75 million is the maximum available as of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, covenant limitations affect what we can actually draw. As of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, approximately $42 million is available to draw as additional debt under the Revolving Credit Facility. By “additional debt,” we mean debt in addition to existing debt such as existing mortgages. The properties comprising the borrowing base for the Credit Facility are not available to be used as collateral for other debt unless removed from the borrowing base, which would shrink availability under the Credit Facility.
As of March 31, 2025, we had total debt outstanding of $838 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 4.55% per annum. As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average years to maturity for our debt was 1.5 years. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our borrowings were 52% of the purchase price of our investment properties. As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $8.1 million. See Item 1A. – “Risk Factors — The financial covenants under our credit agreement may restrict our ability to make distributions and our operating and acquisition activities. If we breach the financial covenants we could be held in default under the credit agreement, which could accelerate our repayment date and materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.” for further information.
As of May 7, 2025, in the next twelve months, we have four mortgage loans maturing with an aggregate principal balance of $137.6 million, which we intend to repay with cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand, proceeds available under the Revolving Credit Facility or proceeds from refinancing of mortgage loans. The weighted average interest rate on these four mortgage loans is 3.97% per annum as of March 31, 2025, which includes the effects of interest rate swaps. See Item 1A. – “Risk Factors — The financial covenants under our credit agreement may restrict our ability to make distributions and our operating and acquisition activities. If we breach the financial covenants we could be held in default under the credit agreement, which could accelerate our repayment date and materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.” for further information.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we invested $5.2 million on capital expenditures and tenant improvements, which is approximately $2.0 million more than we did during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the remainder of 2025, we have budgeted approximately $17.4 million for capital expenditures and tenant improvements.
As of March 31, 2025, we have paid all interest and principal amounts when due, and were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility as amended.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, changes in total debt decreased $2.0 million from the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to lower net repayment on the credit facility in 2025 compared to 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid $4.9 million in distributions. As noted herein, in connection with the board’s review of strategic alternatives, the DRP and SRP have both been suspended effective October 1, 2024.
Distributions
Distributions when declared are paid quarterly in arrears. A summary of the distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 follows (Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts):

Results of Operations
This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Dollar amounts are stated in thousands.
We generate primarily all of our net operating income from property operations. All 52 investment properties we currently own were held for the entirety of both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that we believe is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because our primary business is the ownership of real estate, and net operating income excludes various items included in GAAP net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, our property operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization and parent-level corporate expenses (including general and administrative expenses).
The following tables present the property net operating income prior to straight-line income (expense), net, amortization of intangibles, interest, and depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, along with a reconciliation to net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

| Net loss | $ | (2,601 | ) | $ | (3,338 | ) | $ | 737 |
Net loss. Net loss was $2,601 and $3,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Total property net operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, property net operating income increased $135, total property income increased $1,124, and total property operating expenses including real estate tax expense increased $989.
The increase in total property income is primarily due to an increase in base rent in new leases and step-up rent on existing leases, and an increase in tenant recovery income. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in snow removal costs and higher repairs and maintenance costs due to the timing of projects.
Straight-line income, net. Straight-line income, net increased $175 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase is primarily due to lower straight-line write-offs in 2025 compared to 2024.
Amortization of intangibles and lease incentives. Expense for the amortization of intangibles and lease incentives decreased $39 in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease is primarily due to fully amortized intangible assets.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $380 in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in costs in connection with the review of strategic alternatives, partially offset by the fact that we did not incur any costs to publish an Estimated Per Share NAV in 2025.
Business management fee. Business management fees decreased $13 in 2025 compared to 2024.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $94 in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a larger amount of fully amortized assets in 2025 compared to 2024.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $703 in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease is primarily due to lower average debt outstanding and a lower average interest rate.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $42 in 2025 compared to 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes the value of real estate assets is reduced over time due primarily to non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. Because real estate values may rise and fall with market conditions, operating results from real estate companies that use GAAP accounting may not present a complete view of their performance. We use Funds from Operations, or “FFO”, a widely accepted metric to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT”, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. On November 7, 2018, NAREIT’s Executive Board approved the White Paper restatement, effective December 15, 2018. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO but to clarify existing guidance. The restated definition of FFO by NAREIT is net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, excluding impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate and excluding gains and losses from change in control. We have adopted the restated NAREIT definition for computing FFO. Previously presented periods were not impacted.
Under GAAP, acquisition related costs are treated differently if the acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. An acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and acquisition related costs will be capitalized rather than expensed when incurred. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early years of their operations, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs, during these initial years. Although other start up entities may engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, publicly registered, non-listed REITs are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of properties and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or “IPA”, an industry trade group, published a standardized measure known as Modified Funds from Operations, or “MFFO”, which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year-over-year, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
MFFO excludes expensed costs associated with investing activities, some of which are acquisition related costs that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, and other non-operating items that are included in FFO, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. By excluding costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, the use of MFFO provides another measure of our operating performance once our portfolio is stabilized. Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of properties. MFFO should only be used as a measurement of our operating performance while we are acquiring a significant amount of properties because it excludes, among other things, acquisition costs incurred during the periods in which properties were acquired.
We believe our definition of MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, is consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the “Practice Guideline,” issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market lease assets and liabilities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.
Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” or to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.
Our FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are calculated as follows:

For information related to subsequent events, reference is made to Note 14 – “Subsequent Events” which is included in our March 31, 2025 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, including those caused by changes in interest rates and commodity prices. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and commodity prices. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. The counterparties are, and are expected to continue to be, major financial institutions.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt and the Revolving Credit Facility used to purchase properties or other real estate assets and to fund capital expenditures.
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding debt of $837.6 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, bearing interest rates ranging from 3.70% to 6.33% per annum. The weighted average interest rate was 4.55%, which includes the effect of interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average years to maturity for our mortgages and Credit Facility payable was 1.5 years.
As of March 31, 2025, our fixed-rate debt consisted of secured mortgage financings with a carrying value of $111.6 million and a fair value of $109.4 million. Changes in interest rates do not affect interest expense incurred on our fixed-rate debt until their maturity or earlier repayment, but interest rates do affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations. If market interest rates were to increase by 1% (100 basis points), the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt would decrease by $0.8 million as of March 31, 2025. If market interest rates were to decrease by 1% (100 basis points), the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt would increase by $0.8 million as of March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $175 million of debt or 21% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, bearing interest at variable rates with a weighted average interest rate equal to 6.30% per annum. We had additional variable rate debt subject to swap agreements of $551 million, or 66% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, as of March 31, 2025.
If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of March 31, 2025 increased by 1% (100 basis points), the increase in interest expense would decrease earnings and cash flows by $1.8 million annually. If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of March 31, 2025 decreased by 1% (100 basis points), the decrease in interest expense would increase earnings and cash flows by $1.8 million annually. For the variable rate debt that matures during 2025 and 2026, if interest rates as of March 31, 2025 increased by 1% (100 basis points), the increase in interest expense would decrease earnings and cash flows by $1.3 million annually. If interest rates on such debt as of March 31, 2025 decreased by 1% (100 basis points), the decrease in interest expense would increase earnings and cash flows by $1.3 million annually.
With regard to variable rate financing, our management assesses our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging
opportunities. We utilize risk management control systems implemented by our Business Manager to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.
We use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions are determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge. We have used derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swap contracts, to hedge against interest rate fluctuations on variable rate debt, which exposes us to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us because the counterparty may not perform. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We seek to manage the market risk associated with interest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. There is no assurance we will be successful.
Derivatives
For information related to derivatives, reference is made to Note 6 – “Debt and Derivative Instruments” which is included in our March 31, 2025 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors amend and supplement the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024:
The review of strategic alternatives may not result in the sale of the Company or any other liquidity event in the near term, if at all.
The board’s review of strategic alternatives may not result in a sale, merger or other strategic transaction or otherwise result in a liquidity event for stockholders. There is also no assurance as to how long the review will take or the outcome of the process. The outcome of any potential transaction or other liquidity event will depend on several factors many of which will be beyond our control including, among other things, market conditions including interest rates, inflation, industry trends, regulatory approvals, the availability of favorable financing for a potential transaction and the impact and uncertainty resulting from the imposition or threat of new duties, tariffs, trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures by the U.S. and other governments on the marketplace generally and specifically, our tenants. The process of reviewing strategic alternatives is time consuming and may be distracting to the employees of our Business Manager and Real Estate Manager and may be disruptive to our business. In addition, any perceived uncertainty regarding our future operations or business may limit the ability of our Business Manager or Real Estate Manager to retain or hire qualified personnel and may impact our ability to attract or retain tenants at our properties.
We may be unable to renew expiring leases with existing tenants or re-lease spaces to new tenants on favorable terms or at all.
Our results of operations depend to a significant degree on our ability to continue to lease our properties, including renewing expiring leases, leasing vacant space and re-leasing space in properties where leases are expiring. As of March 31, 2025, our portfolio had physical
and economic occupancy of 90.9% and 91.5%, respectively, and the weighted average lease expiration for our portfolio was 4.5 years. During the remainder of 2025, leases for approximately 8% of our portfolio, measured by total ABR expire, and in 2026, leases for approximately 9% of our portfolio, measured by total ABR expire. The existing tenants may decline to renew leases and we may not be able to find replacement tenants. We cannot guarantee that leases that are renewed or new leases will have terms that are as economically favorable to us as the expiring leases, or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvement allowances, early termination rights or below-market renewal options will not be offered to retain tenants or attract new tenants or that we will be able to lease a property at all. We may experience significant costs in connection with re-leasing a significant number of our properties, which could materially and adversely affect us.
We have entered into both short-term and long-term leases with some of our retail tenants. Our short-term leases may expose us to the effects of declining market rent and our long-term leases may limit our ability to adjust lease rates to fair market rental rates which may adversely affect our revenues and ultimately our ability to make distributions.
Although as of March 31, 2025, the weighted average lease expiration for our portfolio was 4.5 years, we have entered into both short-term leases, with lease terms of fewer than three years, and long-term leases, with lease terms of greater than seven years, both of which expose us to risk. Our short-term leases expose us to the effects of declining market rent. There is no assurance that we will be able to renew these short-term leases as they expire or attract replacement tenants on comparable terms, if at all. Therefore, the returns we earn on this type of investment may be more volatile than the returns generated by properties with longer term leases.
In contrast, long-term leases do not allow for significant changes in rental payments and do not expire in the near term. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates when negotiating these long-term leases, significant increases in future property operating costs could result in receiving less than fair market rental rates from these leases. These circumstances would adversely affect our revenues and funds available for distribution.
The financial covenants under our credit agreement may restrict our ability to make distributions and our operating and acquisition activities. If we breach the financial covenants we could be held in default under the credit agreement, which could accelerate our repayment date and materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
We entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement in February 2022 for a $475.0 million Credit Facility consisting of a revolving credit facility providing initial revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $200.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan facility providing initial term loan commitments in an aggregate amount of $275.0 million (the “Term Loan”). On May 17, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement Regarding Incremental Term Loans (the “First Amendment”), amending the terms of the Credit Agreement primarily to draw an additional $300.0 million to fund the acquisition of investment properties during May 2022. The credit agreement provides us with the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $1.2 billion, subject to certain conditions. Our performance of the obligations under the credit agreement, including the payment of any outstanding indebtedness, is secured by a minimum pool of 15 unencumbered properties with an unencumbered pool value of $300.0 million or above and by a guaranty by certain of our subsidiaries. As of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, we had $125 million outstanding of the $200 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our maximum availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $75 million as of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, subject to the terms and conditions, including compliance with the covenants, of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility. Although $75 million is the maximum available as of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, covenant limitations, particularly the leverage ratio, affect what we can actually draw. As of both May 7, 2025 and March 31, 2025, approximately $42 million is available to draw as additional debt under the Revolving Credit Facility. By “additional debt,” we mean debt in addition to existing debt such as existing mortgages. The properties comprising the borrowing base for the Credit Facility are not available to be used as collateral for other debt unless removed from the borrowing base, which would reduce availability under the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the credit agreement, our leverage ratio generally cannot exceed 65%. As of March 31, 2025, our leverage ratio was 57%. There has been substantially less available to actually draw or undertake as additional debt than the maximum amount available, and there may be additional periods during which the amount we can actually draw or otherwise incur as additional debt is considerably less than the maximum amount available, for example, if new variants of the coronavirus, high inflation or high interest rates were to negatively affect our tenants.
The credit agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants, including, among other conditions, a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth requirement, restrictions on indebtedness, a distribution limitation and other material covenants. Compliance with these covenants could inhibit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and to pursue certain business initiatives or effect certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us. For example, without lender consent, we may not declare and pay distributions or honor any redemption requests if any default under the agreement then exists or if distributions, excluding any distributions reinvested through our DRP, for the then-current quarter and the three immediately preceding quarters would exceed 95% of our Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” excluding acquisition expenses, or “adjusted FFO,” for that period.
The credit agreement provides for several customary events of default, including, among other things, the failure to comply with our covenants under the credit agreement, such as the “Consolidated Tangible Net Worth” covenant as defined in the credit agreement, and the failure to pay when amounts outstanding under the credit agreement become due or defaulting by us or our subsidiaries in the payment of an amount due under, or in the performance of any term, provision or condition contained in, any agreement providing for another debt arrangement, such as a mortgage, beyond certain dollar thresholds specified in our Credit Facility. Tenant bankruptcies negatively impact our compliance with the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth covenant even if the tenant continues to pay rent. There is no guarantee that our lenders under the credit agreement will grant a waiver of this covenant or any other covenant that we might be in danger of violating or required representation that we cannot make. Any merger, sale of assets, consolidation or change of control may constitute a default under the credit agreement. Defaults under the credit agreement could restrict our ability to borrow additional monies and could cause all amounts to become immediately due and payable, which would materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
Volatility in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur.
We have funded our capital needs almost exclusively through cash flow from operations (to the extent positive) and through draws on the Credit Facility, if needed. The domestic and international commercial real estate debt markets have been volatile resulting in increases in interest rates or changes in the expected or anticipated rate of decline and, from time to time, the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies, which limits the availability of credit and increase costs for what is available. We may also face a heightened level of interest rate risk, for example, if the U.S. Federal Reserve Board increases interest rates or decreases the pace of any reductions in response to, among other things, changing inflationary expectations. All these actions will likely lead to increases in our borrowing costs and may impact our ability to access capital on favorable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain funding for our capital needs, such as future acquisitions. As of March 31, 2025, we have a total of approximately $93 million and approximately $170 million of indebtedness bearing interest at a weighted rate of 3.80% and 5.80%, respectively, maturing in calendar year 2025 and 2026, respectively. A total of approximately $138 million of this debt is secured by mortgages on certain of our properties and $125 million relates to draws on the Revolving Credit Facility, the maturity of which may be extended at the Company’s option for an additional 12 months. Interest rates and the costs of hedging variable interest debt by using swaps have increased since the maturing debt was incurred. If the overall cost of borrowing increases, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, the increased costs may result in existing or future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns and potentially reducing future cash flow available to us. Volatility in the debt markets may negatively impact our ability to borrow monies to finance the purchase of, or other activities related to, real estate assets. Economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness as it comes due on favorable terms, or at all. Increases in interest rates or changes in underwriting standards imposed by lenders may require us to increase the collateral securing mortgage loans or comprising the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility to the extent we seek to renew the facility. We may have to use cash on hand, draws on our Credit Facility or other sources of cash to the extend available to fund additional monies to repay or refinance any indebtedness or may realize fewer proceeds from new or refinanced mortgage loans or reduced availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. If we are unable to repay or refinance any indebtedness secured by mortgages, we lose the mortgaged property in a foreclosure action.

Exhibit 10.1
FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the __ day of _____, ___ by and between Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and (“Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, at the request of the Company, Indemnitee currently serves as [a director] [and] [an officer] of the Company and may, therefore, be subjected to claims, suits or proceedings arising as a result of [his][her] service;
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as [a director] [and] [an officer], the Company has agreed to indemnify Indemnitee and to advance expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such claims, suits or proceedings, to the maximum extent permitted by law; and
WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
“Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person’s attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii) at any time, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are not individuals (A) who were directors as of the Effective Date or (B) whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved or recommended (1) by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors as of the Effective Date or (2) by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors as of the Effective Date or, in the case of clause (1) or (2), whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended.
“Corporate Status” means the status of a person as a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, statutory trust, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. As a clarification and without limiting the circumstances in which Indemnitee may be serving at the request of the Company, service by Indemnitee shall be deemed to be at the request of the Company: (i) if Indemnitee serves or served as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any corporation, statutory trust, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (1) of which a majority of the voting power or equity interest is or was owned directly or indirectly by the Company or (2) the management of which is controlled directly or indirectly by the Company and (ii) if, as a result of Indemnitee’s service to the Company or any of its affiliated entities, Indemnitee is subject to duties to, or required to perform services for, an employee benefit plan or its participants or beneficiaries, including as a deemed fiduciary thereof.
“Determination” means a determination that either (1) Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (a “Favorable Determination”) or (2) Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Adverse Determination”).
“Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification and/or advance of Expenses is sought by Indemnitee.
“Effective Date” means the date set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement.
“Expenses” means any and all reasonable and out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs, retainers, court costs, arbitration and mediation costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, bonds, costs of collecting and producing documents, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, excise taxes and penalties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any other disbursements or expenses
incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in or otherwise participating in a Proceeding. Expenses shall also include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding including, without limitation, the premium for, security for and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond or other appeal bond or its equivalent.
“Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to or participant or witness in the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
“Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, claim, demand or discovery request, or any other actual, threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil (including intentional or unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative or investigative (formal or informal) nature in which Indemnitee was, is, will or might be involved as a party or non-party witness by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, including any appeal therefrom, except one pending or completed on or before the Effective Date, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Company and Indemnitee. If Indemnitee reasonably believes that a given situation may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, such situation shall also be considered a Proceeding.
Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee [will serve][serves] as [a director] [and] [an officer] of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any independent obligation on Indemnitee or the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to resign or otherwise terminate such service with immediate effect at any time, and neither such resignation or termination nor the length of such service shall affect Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any other entity) and Indemnitee, supersede any employment agreement to which Indemnitee is a party or create any right of Indemnitee to continued employment or appointment.
General. The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) as otherwise to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect on the Effective Date and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 3 shall include, without limitation, the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), including, without limitation, Section 2-418 of the MGCL.
Standard for Indemnification. If, by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any such Proceeding unless it is established by clear and convincing evidence that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
Certain Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 6), Indemnitee shall not be entitled to:
indemnification hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable to the Company;
indemnification hereunder if Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable on the basis that personal benefit in money, property or services was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether or not involving action in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or
indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company’s charter or Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.
Court-Ordered Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification of Indemnitee by the Company in the following circumstances:
if such court determines that Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the Expenses of securing such reimbursement; or
if such court determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper without regard to any limitation on such court-ordered indemnification contemplated by Section 2-418(d)(2)(ii) of the MGCL.
Indemnification for Expenses of an Indemnitee Who is Wholly or Partially Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 7 and, without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Advance of Expenses for Indemnitee. If, by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall, without requiring a preliminary Determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding. The Company shall make such advance or advances within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding, which advance or advances may be in the form of, in the reasonable discretion of Indemnitee (but without duplication) (a) payment of such Expenses directly to third parties on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advancement to Indemnitee of funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimbursement to Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s payment of such Expenses. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee and a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.
Indemnification and Advance of Expenses as a Witness or Other Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding or is called upon to produce documents in connection with any such Proceeding, whether instituted by the Company or any other person, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced, and indemnified against, all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. In connection with any such advance of Expenses, the Company may require Indemnitee to provide an affirmation and undertaking substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of execution thereof.
Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request as soon as practicable, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary or appropriate to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification provided that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to the extent that (i) none of the Company or its subsidiaries are party to or aware of such Proceeding and (ii) the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Subject to the foregoing, Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. The officer of the Company receiving any such request from Indemnitee shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) above, a Determination, if required by applicable law, shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of the Disinterested Directors or by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of one or more Disinterested Directors designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, (B) if Independent Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL and approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company, other than directors or officers who are parties to the Proceeding. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall make payment to Indemnitee within ten days after such Determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such Determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary or appropriate to such Determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 10(b). Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such Determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of whether the Determination is a Favorable Determination or an Adverse Determination) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is appointed.
Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
In making a Determination hereunder, the person or persons or entity (including any court having jurisdiction over the matter) making such Determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of overcoming that presumption and may do so only by showing that there is a reasonable basis to support the Adverse Determination.
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.
The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, statutory trust, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Remedies of Indemnitee.
If (i) an Adverse Determination is made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 or 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no Favorable Determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 7 or 9 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to any other section of this Agreement or the charter or Bylaws of the Company is not made within ten days after a Favorable Determination, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence a proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the 180-day deadline in the foregoing clause shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Maryland law (without regard to its conflicts of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. Any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 shall be de novo with respect to all determinations of fact and law. If Indemnitee commences a judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement until a final Determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed). The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable except to the extent that any procedure or presumption exceeds that which is permitted by law and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.
If a Favorable Determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement, the Company shall be bound by such Favorable Determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.
In the event that Indemnitee is successful in seeking, pursuant to this Section 12, a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.
Interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the maximum rate allowed to be charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay for the period (i) commencing with either the tenth day after the date on which the Company was requested to advance Expenses in accordance with Section 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement or the 60th day after the date on which the Company was requested to make the Determination under Section 10(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) ending on the date such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.
Defense of the Underlying Proceeding.
Indemnitee shall notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.
Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13(b) and of Section 13(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 13(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to Indemnitee which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee or (iii) would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 13(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 12 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 12(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.
Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation.
The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. Unless consented to in writing by Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of the charter or Bylaws of the Company, this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of whether a claim with respect to such action or inaction is raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
Insurance.
The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims made against Indemnitee by reason of service in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status. In the event of a Change in Control, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in force any and all directors and officers liability insurance policies that were maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control for a period of six years from the effective time of any Change in Control for a cost not in excess of 300% of the most recent annual premiums paid by the Company prior to the Change in Control for such purpose (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay annual premiums for insurance under this Section 15 in excess of the Maximum Amount, it being understood that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Amount, the Company shall nevertheless be obligated to provide coverage as may be obtained for the Maximum Amount.
Without in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee which would otherwise be indemnifiable hereunder arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the coverage of any insurance referred to in Section 15(a). The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of the Company under any such insurance policy or policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable insurance policy.
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Company or any insurance carrier of the Company with respect to any Proceeding.
Coordination of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason, other than for failure to satisfy the standard of conduct set forth in Section 4 or due to the provisions of Section 5, then, with respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, penalties, or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.
Reports to Stockholders. To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall report in writing to its stockholders the payment of any amounts for indemnification of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising
out of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Company next following the date of the payment of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting.
Duration of Agreement; Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall continue until and terminate on the later of (i) the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, statutory trust, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company and (ii) the date that Indemnitee is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement).
The indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, statutory trust, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company but remains subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement), and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.
The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business or assets of the Company to assume by operation of law or by a separate written agreement the performance of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. Indemnitee shall further be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertakings in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that, in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of such a bond or undertaking.
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable that is not itself invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section, paragraph or sentence of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (delivery of which may be by facsimile or via e-mail as a portable document format (.pdf) or other electronic format), each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. One such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought shall be sufficient to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
Modification and Waiver. No termination, supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver, unless otherwise expressly stated, constitute a continuing waiver.
Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, on the day of such delivery, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings specified in the Indemnification Agreement.
