Once every quarter, the company obtains an independent rolling appraisal of the fair market value of approximately 25 percent of its real estate portfolio based on asset value. The portfolio of assets to be appraised each quarter will be representative of the composition, by both geography and property type, of the entire portfolio. If there is a change within +/-1 percent of the most recently published NAVs, the company does not change the NAVs.
The per share NAV is based on the estimated value of the REIT’s assets less the estimated value of the company’s liabilities, divided by the approximate number of shares outstanding. Robert A. Stanger & Co. assisted with the valuation.
