ExchangeRight Income Fund Raises Over $2 Million in Latest Offering
The company continues its private placement efforts with the sale of Class ER shares while navigating risks inherent in real estate investment.
October 07, 2024
ExchangeRight Income Fund, operating under the name ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT, has successfully raised approximately $2.1 million through its private placement offering. As part of this ongoing effort, the company sold 71,495 shares of Class ER Common Shares on October 1, 2024. This transaction is part of a larger strategy to raise capital through the sale of various share classes, designed to support the company’s continued growth and its emphasis on recession-resilient and e-commerce-resistant properties.
The capital infusion is expected to strengthen the company’s portfolio of properties, which targets sectors less vulnerable to economic downturns. The firm’s latest move reflects a cautious yet aggressive growth strategy in a real estate market that remains volatile, particularly amid fluctuating interest rates and inflation concerns.
Despite its proactive approach, ExchangeRight acknowledges the risks associated with real estate investments. The firm faces challenges such as tenant defaults, environmental liabilities, and the illiquidity of assets within the market. However, the company’s management has highlighted its efforts to mitigate these risks through a strong focus on selecting high-credit tenants and maintaining diversified property holdings. The firm is also working to ensure it can handle potential financial disruptions caused by broader economic conditions.
Commissions and Exemptions from Registration
The recent share sales were accompanied by selling commissions totaling $77,000, demonstrating ExchangeRight’s reliance on financial intermediaries to support the ongoing private placement. The Class ER shares were offered in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, specifically under Regulation D. This strategic choice allows the company to avoid some of the regulatory burdens typically associated with public offerings, offering a streamlined capital-raising process while focusing on long-term growth and property acquisition.
Looking Ahead
The company’s filing included forward-looking assessments, with management warning of potential market challenges such as inflation, tenant-related issues, and competition within the real estate sector. ExchangeRight remains optimistic about its strategic direction, but acknowledges that maintaining cash flow and securing profitable acquisitions may face headwinds from broader economic forces. The firm also aims to retain its Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) status to maximize tax efficiency and shareholder returns.
By securing additional capital through the sale of Class ER shares, ExchangeRight is well-positioned to continue expanding its portfolio and securing its place in a competitive and evolving real estate market.
