Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On February 4, 2021, Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation issued a press release announcing the results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2020 and disclosed a supplemental information package in connection with its earnings conference call for the first quarter ended December 31, 2020. A copy of the supplemental information package and press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto is being furnished, not filed, for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The foregoing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. You can identify forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “should,” “seek” or comparable terms, or the negative use of those words, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations of its future performance, taking into account all information currently available to it. Forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to the Company. Some of these factors are described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and its other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are accessible on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in the filings. These and other risks, uncertainties and factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those included in any forward-looking statements it makes. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect it. Except as required by law, the Company is not obligated to, and does not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as events described or implied in such statements may not occur. Although the Board has unanimously decided to explore strategic alternatives for the Company, the Company is not obligated to pursue any particular transaction or any transaction at all. Further, although the Company is exploring strategic alternatives, there is no assurance that this process will result in stockholder liquidity, or provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds the Company’s estimated value per share. Even if the Board decides to pursue a particular strategy, there is no assurance that the Company will successfully implement its strategy.
