In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. We are a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning, operating and acquiring industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments and mortgage debt investments secured by industrial property in high-barrier Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013 and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we acquire, own, improve, reposition, develop, lease and manage industrial real estate primarily located in Southern California infill markets, and from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. We also sell assets programmatically as part of our capital allocation strategy. As of December 31, 2025, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 419 properties with approximately 51.2 million rentable square feet. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. We are generally not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. Business Objectives and Growth Strategies Our primary business objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders through dividends and capital appreciation. We believe that pursuing the following strategies will enable us to achieve this objective: Internal Growth through Intensive, Value-Add Asset Management. We employ an intensive asset management strategy that is designed to increase cash flow and occupancy from our properties. Our strategy includes proactive renewal of existing tenants, re-tenanting to achieve higher rents, and repositioning and developing industrial property by renovating, modernizing, increasing functionality or constructing new industrial-use buildings to increase cash flow and value. For example, we sometimes convert formerly single-tenant properties to multi-tenant occupancy to capitalize upon the higher per square foot rents generated by smaller spaces in our target markets in addition to adding or improving loading access and increasing fire, life-safety and building operating systems, among other value-add initiatives. We believe that by undertaking such conversions or other functional enhancements, we can position our properties to attract a larger universe of potential tenants, increase occupancy, tenant quality and rental rates. We also believe that multi-tenant properties, as well as single mid-size buildings, help to limit our exposure to tenant default risk and to diversify our sources of cash flow. In addition to these repositioning efforts, our strategy includes developing new industrial‑use buildings on a selective basis. Additionally, our proactive approach to leasing and asset management is driven by our in-house asset management, leasing, construction management and customer solutions departments and team of portfolio and property managers who maintain direct, day-to-day relationships and dialogue with our tenants, which we believe enhances recurring cash flow and reduces periods of vacancy. Accretive Capital Recycling. Our disciplined capital recycling strategy is positioned to enhance portfolio quality and drive long‑term value creation. In 2025, disposition activity focused on the opportunistic and selective sale of underperforming or fully-valued assets.…
