Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2026

• Additionally, we plan to continue to expand our third-party management platform in both Canada and the United States by scaling our Third Party Platform or through additional investments in or acquisitions of third-party management firms.
• We intend to continue in this practice going forward, if necessary.
• (“AXCS”), a real estate lending joint venture, through which we make structured debt and preferred equity investments in the self storage sector, targeting self storage owners in the United States (the “AXCS Joint Venture”).
• Joint ventures may also allow us to acquire an interest in a property without requiring that we fund the entire purchase price, but for which we would target being the property manager, both in the U.S. and Canada.
• The investment will provide us with a 50% general partner interest in the fund and an immediate expected approximate 34% limited partnership interest in the fund that we expect will own at close, or shortly thereafter, 14 self storage properties in Canada, comprising approximately 961,000 net rentable square feet and 9,600 units.
• However, if the fund’s pending sale of one of its existing properties is not completed within 30 days following the closing, we will be required, without any further approval on our part, to contribute the amount of working capital that the fund’s general partner, acting reasonably, determines the fund requires as a result of continuing to hold that property, which contribution would count against the $228.0…
• In connection with the investment, we expect to provide guarantees directly to certain lenders of the fund’s subsidiaries, proportionate to our common ownership interest in the fund.
• This guidance requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, including fair value estimates, which requires the use of significant unobservable inputs as of the acquisition date.
• When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable, we will assess the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real property assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
• In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we will adjust the value of the real property assets to the fair value and recognize an impairment loss.
• If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied.
• However, we believe that we are organized and operate in a manner that will enable us to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and we intend to continue to operate as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
