NETSTREIT Corp. (NYSE: NTST) (the “Company”) announced today that the underwriters of its previously announced public offering, which closed on August 8, 2022, have exercised in full their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional shares of common stock at the price to the public of $20.20 per share in connection with the forward sale agreements described below. The closing of the option exercise is expected to occur on August 12, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Wells Fargo Securities, BofA Securities and Jefferies acted as the book-running managers and representatives of the underwriters for the offering. Citigroup and Stifel acted as joint book-running managers for the offering. Baird, BTIG, Scotiabank, Capital One Securities, Regions Securities LLC, Berenberg, TD Securities, Ramirez & Co., Inc. and Roberts & Ryan acted as co-managers for the offering.

In connection with the option exercise, the Company has entered into forward sale agreements with affiliates of Wells Fargo Securities and BofA Securities (the "forward purchasers") with respect to 1,350,000 shares of its common stock (and previously entered into forward sale agreements with respect to 9,000,000 shares sold pursuant to the previously announced public offering). In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers or their affiliates are expected to borrow and sell to the underwriters an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the common stock that will be delivered in connection with the closing of the option exercise. Subject to its right to elect cash or net share settlement, which right is subject to certain conditions, the Company intends to deliver, upon physical settlement of such forward sale agreements on one or more dates specified by the Company occurring no later than August 3, 2023, an aggregate of 10,350,000 shares of its common stock (including the forward sale agreements with respect to 9,000,000 shares sold pursuant to the previously announced public offering) to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price, which will be the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, and will be subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreements.

The Company initially will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchasers. The Company expects to contribute the net proceeds, if any, it receives upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements to its operating partnership in exchange for Class A limited partnership units in the operating partnership and the operating partnership intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions of properties in the Company’s pipeline. Selling common stock through the forward sale agreements enables the Company to set the price of such shares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company until the expected funding requirements described above have occurred.

The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement, which was automatically effective upon filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2021.
