•Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy that includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents while minimizing re-leasing costs and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. Additionally, we have both local and national marketing programs that target the business and real estate brokerage communities, as well as multi-national tenants.

•Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with an emphasis on markets with a coastal orientation, through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, functionality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the

•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors across all of our markets to identify assets suitable for disposition. Our focus is on selling properties with lower rent growth potential or that lack optimal functionality. The capital from these sales is generally reinvested into new assets identified, consistent with our investment strategy discussed above or otherwise used in a manner consistent with our business strategy. 

•Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $850.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as
