? Raised over $36.6 million in an investor friendly Rights Offering that was launched at the end of December 2020 and closed in February 2021.
? Acquired 5 CEA facilities in Colorado and California totaling approximately 110,000 square feet of greenhouse and cultivation/processing space.
? Entered into 3 new triple-net leases, one lease amendment and was assigned an existing lease with state-licensed cannabis operator.
Commenting on the results and Q1-2021 achievements, David Lesser, Chief Executive Officer stated, “Power REIT made significant progress during the quarter by completing a Rights Offering that allowed existing investors to participate at an attractive stage of our growth trajectory. Existing investors were offered the right to purchase additional shares at $26.50. With the common stock trading at $43.98, these investors have generated gains exceeding 66% within a few months. As we deploy the capital raised in additional accretive acquisitions, we also continue to explore non-dilutive capital sources to fund our growth in an effort to create ongoing shareholder value.”
Mr. Lesser continued, “The updated business plan that Power REIT put into motion in the second half of 2019 is driving substantial growth. This is reflected in our first quarter 2021 Core FFO per common share of $0.46, which increased 142% year over year. Our dynamic growth is a function of the attractive yields Power REIT can achieve with its strategic CEA investments coupled with our relatively small size which amplifies the impact of these transactions. With the current stock price at $43.98 and a forward Core FFO run rate of $3.18 per share, Power REIT trades at a 13.8x multiple. We believe our potential growth rate driven by acquisitions combined with a relatively low forward Core FFO multiple provides a compelling value proposition for investors. We have an active pipeline of acquisitions and hope to announce additional activity in the near future.”
FORWARD CORE FFO PER SHARE
Power REIT has now deployed approximately $10 million of the capital raised in its recently closed Rights Offering across several transactions. This leaves approximately $26.5 million to deploy. Power REIT’s current run-rate of Core FFO based solely on transactions closed and not taking into account deployment of additional capital is approximately $6.6 million as described in our most recently published Investor Presentation which is available at: www.pwreit.com/investors
Reflecting on the impact of Power REIT’s recent Rights Offering and assuming the full deployment of its remaining proceeds into additional acquisitions at an average 16% yield to common equity, the Trust estimates a forward Core FFO per share run rate of $3.18. However, it is important to understand that near-term quarterly results could be below this run-rate due to uncertainty of transaction timing and dilution from the additional shares issued pursuant to the Rights Offering that generated the available cash on Power REIT’s balance sheet for investment.
The following table provides a roadmap and sensitivity analysis for forward Core FFO per share:
Common Shares Outstanding (Pre Rights Offering) 1,916,139
Shares Sold in Rights Offering 1,383,394
Total Shares Outstanding (Post Rights Offering) 3,299,533
Rights Offering Price $ 26.50
Rights Offering Capital Raise – Gross $ 36,659,941
Proceeds Net of Costs (est.) 0.25 % $ 36,568,291
Announced Transactions Using Proceeds from Rights Offering:
Apotheke 1,813,398
Canndescent 2,685,000
Grail Project Expansion 517,663
Gas Station 2,118,717
Cloud Nine 2,947,905
Total 10,082,683
Remaining Rights Offering Proceeds for Investment $ 26,485,608
Unleveraged FFO Yield on Investments (Net) 14.0 % 16.0 % 18.0 %
Annualized Run Rate Core FFO Guidance (existing portfolio) $ 6,558,874 $ 6,558,874 $ 6,558,874
Incremental FFO from Acquisitions with remaining RO Proceeds 3,707,985 4,237,697 4,767,409

Power REIT Acquires Greenhouse Cannabis Cultivation Facility in Highly Accretive Transaction
2/4/21, 7:16 AM
Old Bethpage, New York, Feb. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power REIT (NYSE-AMEX: PW and PW.PRA) (“Power REIT” or the “Trust”) today announced that it has acquired a 37,000 square foot state-of-the art greenhouse cannabis cultivation facility located in Riverside County, California (the “Property”) through a wholly owned subsidiary (“PropCo”) for $7.685 million. Power REIT funded the transaction using $2.685 million of cash on hand and the issuance of 192,308 shares of Power REIT’s Series A Preferred Stock (NYSE American ticker: PW.PRA), which had a closing price of $26.00 per share on February 2, 2021.
The property is leased to Canndescent (“Canndescent”), the #1 selling flower brand for luxury cannabis, with over 50% store penetration in California. Canndescent offers ultra-premium products grown through a proprietary cultivation process. The lease provides straight-line annual rent of approximately $1,074,000 which represents an unleveraged CORE FFO yield to the Common Shares of Power REIT of greater than 26%. The transaction increases Power REIT’s CORE FFO on a run rate basis by approximately $0.21 per share relative to the prior run rate guidance. This increase in CORE FFO is based on using proceeds from the pending Rights Offering that Power REIT is conducting in order to fund the acquisition. Accordingly, such calculation is based on adding approximately 101,000 common shares in order to provide an indication of the pro-forma impact from the acquisition.
David Lesser, Power REIT’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “This transaction demonstrates Power REIT’s ability to source and close accretive real estate acquisitions that we believe should result in the creation of significant shareholder value. This acquisition expands our national footprint into the California market, which is the largest cannabis market in the United States. The acquisition provides attractive valuation metrics including a discount to replacement cost and a lower price than recent comparable property sales in the market. We are also pleased to establish a relationship with Canndescent which is a sophisticated cannabis operator with premier brands and significant customer loyalty.”
Adrian Sedlin, Founder and CEO of Canndescent, commented, “We are excited to partner with Power REIT and are already exploring additional pipeline and business opportunities that could be mutually beneficial to us and Power REIT as we both continue to expand our respective businesses.”
Mr. Lesser concluded, “In addition, we believe that our previously announced Rights Offering is a very investor friendly component of our capital plan that should allow shareholders the opportunity to participate in our immediate growth plans. As previously announced, we have extended the closing on the Rights Offering to February 5, 2021. This was in response to the significant interest we have received and to allow as many shareholders as possible to participate. We are optimistic about our acquisition pipeline and hope to announce additional acquisitions in the near future.”

Power REIT acquires property for cannabis processing
Sep. 18, 2020 6:16 AM ETPower REIT (PW)By: Gaurav Batavia, SA News Editor5 Comments
Power REIT (NYSEMKT:PW) to acquire a 3.0-acre property in York County, Maine, for $400K through a wholly owned subsidiary, PropCo.
In acquiring the Property, PropCo exercised an option it received at the time of the acquisition of the 495 Property (adjacent property, acquired in May 2020).
Concurrent with the acquisition, PropCo amended the lease with Sweet Dirt whereby the lease will cover both properties and PropCo will fund the construction of an additional approximately 9,900 square feet of processing space and the renovation of an existing ~2,738-square-foot building on the 505 Property.
As part of the acquisition, the existing triple net lease is being amended whereby PropCo will fund approximately $1.56M of costs to complete the construction. Accordingly, the company's total investment in the 505 Property is ~$1.96M.
The acquisition and expansion transactions are immediately accretive to CORE FFO by adding ~$402,000 of straight-line rent that translates to incremental CORE FFO of ~$0.21/share p.a. on a run rate basis.
Recent transactions should add ~1.76/share on a run rate basis to Core FFO.
Assuming the company deploys its existing available capital prior to the end of the year, the year-end “run-rate” for FFO should be in excess of $2/share.
