Modiv Inc. (“Modiv” or the “Company”) (NYSE:MDV), an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant net-lease real estate properties, today announced the authorization of a share repurchase program and also declared a regular monthly cash dividend of $0.095833 per share for each of February and March 2022.

Modiv’s Board of Directors has authorized up to $20 million in repurchases of the Company’s outstanding shares through December 31, 2022. Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in other manner as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Additionally, the Board of Directors authorized monthly dividends payable to common stockholders of record as of February 28, 2022, and March 31, 2022, which will be paid on or about March 25, 2022, and April 25, 2022, respectively. The current monthly dividend amount of $0.095833 per share represents an annualized dividend rate of $1.15 per share of common stock.

Aaron Halfacre, Chief Executive Officer of Modiv, commented, “The share repurchase program that we are announcing today reflects both our confidence in the long-term fundamentals of our business and the near-term considerations of a newly listed public company. Following our decision to seek a listing on the New York Stock Exchange without a large IPO that would have diluted our existing shareholders, our 2022 share repurchase program will provide us with the flexibility to deploy capital for the optimal benefit of our long-term shareholders during this early period of time when our stock could continue to be thinly traded. Based on our $28.74 net asset value per share, as fully disclosed in pages 15-17 of our prospectus filed on February 11, 2022, we believe that our current share price does not accurately reflect the underlying value of our real estate portfolio and represents an attractive long-term investment for the Company. Further, in recognition of the material price volatility experienced immediately after our listing, I encourage all investors to read our Company’s financial filings located at www.sec.gov or invest.modiv.com before making an investment decision.

"In addition to our share repurchase program, we are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors authorized the dividends for February and March 2022. Since its inception, Modiv has distributed over $40 million in dividends to investors and our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate potential increases to the dividend in the future. As part of our continued effort to create value for our shareholders, our recently amended dividend reinvestment program now allows investors to elect to reinvest their dividends at up to a 3% discount to the market value immediately prior to the dividend payment dates. In total, we believe that all of our actions today reflect our investor-first focus and shareholder-friendly approach to capital management,” concluded Halfacre.
