Some of the information in this presentation may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies andprospects such as the following: the expected financial and operational results and the related assumptions underlying our expected results, including but not limited topotential losses related to customer difficulties, anticipated building usage and expected economic activity due to COVID-19; the continuing ability to borrow under theCompany’s revolving credit facility; the anticipated total investment, projected leasing activity, estimated replacement cost and expected net operating income of acquiredproperties and properties to be developed; and expected future leverage of the Company. You can identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-lookingterminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectationsreflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.
When considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from thosecontained in any forward-looking statement. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-lookingstatements is the potential adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and federal, state, and/or local regulatory guidelines to control it, on our financial condition,operating results and cash flows, our customers, the real estate market in which we operate, the global economy and the financial markets. The extent to which theCOVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our customers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including thescope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential changes in customerbehavior, among others.
Additional factors, many of which may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated inthese statements include: the financial condition of our customers could deteriorate or further worsen; our assumptions regarding potential losses related to customerfinancial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic could prove incorrect; counterparties under our debt instruments, particularly our revolving credit facility, may attemptto avoid their obligations thereunder, which, if successful, would reduce our available liquidity; we may not be able to lease or re-lease second generation space, definedas previously occupied space that becomes available for lease, quickly or on as favorable terms as old leases; we may not be able to lease newly constructed buildings asquickly or on as favorable terms as originally anticipated; we may not be able to complete development, acquisition, reinvestment, disposition or joint venture projects asquickly or on as favorable terms as anticipated; development activity in our existing markets could result in an excessive supply relative to customer demand; our marketsmay suffer declines in economic and/or office employment growth; unanticipated increases in interest rates could increase our debt service costs; unanticipated increasesin operating expenses could negatively impact our operating results; we may not be able to meet our liquidity requirements or obtain capital on favorable terms to fundour working capital needs and growth initiatives or repay or refinance outstanding debt upon maturity; and the Company could lose key executive officers.
This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is not intended to be exhaustive. You should also review the other cautionary statements we make in “Business – Risk Factors”set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Risk Factors” in our first quarter 2020 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given these uncertainties, you should notplace undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements toreflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
