Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. Announces Removal of Cap on New Equity for July 2019 Closing

ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (“BNL,”” we,” or ”us”) today announced that there will be no cap on new and additional investments in shares of its common stock for the equity closing that is scheduled to occur on July 31, 2019. The cap for July 2019 was previously set at $20 million.

“We continually strive to manage our leverage ratio within our targeted range while remaining within the bounds of our investment grade profile,” said Chris Czarnecki, BNL’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our equity cap and queue program also helps us balance the timing of equity capital inflows and deployment of those funds in the form of real estate investments. Given BNL’s current leverage profile and pipeline of potential acquisitions, we are removing the monthly equity cap for our July 2019 closing.”

The use and amount of the cap is based upon and may be adjusted for a number of factors, including, among others, our current and targeted leverage profile, our acquisition pipeline and anticipated future capital deployment, and overall market conditions. The cap on new equity for the months of August, September, and October 2019, if a cap is imposed for those months, will be announced in August 2019 following the next regular meeting of BNL’s Board of Directors. Additional information regarding BNL’s equity cap and queue program is available in the company's periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
