Innovative Industrial Properties reports default by PharmaCann on all leases

Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR), through indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries serving as landlords, previously entered into leases with PharmaCann and its affiliates as tenants for eleven properties that IIP owns, which represented 17% of IIP’s total rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30. On December 19, PharmaCann defaulted on its obligations to pay rent for the month of December under six of the eleven Leases, for properties located in Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. December rent, including base rent, property management fees and estimated tax and insurance payments, totaled $4.2M for these six properties. IIP applied security deposits held by IIP pursuant to these Leases for the payment in full of the defaulted rent, in addition to late penalties and interest. Although PharmaCann paid rent in full under the remaining five Leases totaling $90,000 for the month of December, as a result of cross-default provisions contained in each of the Leases, on December 19, PharmaCann also defaulted on its obligations under these five Leases, as a result of the non-payment of rent on the other six Leases. IIP is continuing discussions with PharmaCann regarding the Leases and expects to enforce its rights under the Leases aggressively, which may include, but is not limited to, commencing eviction proceedings as IIP deems necessary.
