Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company's actual results and financial performance to be materially different from future results and financial performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) macroeconomic conditions, including due to geopolitical instability (such as ongoing armed conflicts and heightened regional tensions in the Middle East), contemplated tariff increases and other trade restrictions, which may lead to a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets, disruptions and instability in the banking and financial services industries and rising inflation; (ii) the Company’s success in implementing its business strategy and its ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments (including the potential acquisitions discussed in this press release); (iii) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which the Company may, from time to time, compete, including the impact of recently announced tariffs on our tenants and their customers, and their effect on the Company’s and our tenants' revenues, earnings and funding sources and those of our tenants; (iv) increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of
