ated basis, which we refer to as the 40% test. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. Government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exclusion from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

We are organized as a holding company and conduct our business primarily through our OP and through subsidiaries of our OP.

We intend to conduct our operations so that neither we nor our OP will hold investment securities in excess of the limit imposed by the 40% test.
