statement filed with the SEC on Form S-3.

The preliminary prospectus supplement includes a discussion of
the Companys recent developments and the proposed use of proceeds
of the offering as described below.

Recent Developments

As of May12, 2017, the Companys investment spending in its

three reportable operating segments.

Entertainmentinvestment spending since March31, 2017 totaled

Promenade 24 property located in San Diego, California for net
proceeds of approximately $35.4 million and recognized a net gain
on sale of approximately $17.8 million.

Use of Proceeds

The preliminary prospectus supplement also discloses that the
Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to
repay the outstanding principal balance of the Companys unsecured
revolving credit facility (which had an outstanding balance of
approximately $375.0 million at May12, 2017) and the remaining
amount of net proceeds for general business purposes, which may
include funding the Companys ongoing pipeline of acquisition and
build-to-suit projects. Pending application of any portion of the
net proceeds from the offering to the uses described above, the
Company may invest such proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and
short-term interest-bearing securities which are consistent with
its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.

Item8.01. Other Events.

The Company is providing this Item8.01 disclosure for the purpose
of supplementing, with the additional risk factor set forth
below, the risk factor disclosure contained in the Companys
public filings, including those risk factors discussed in Item1A
under the heading Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December31, 2016 (the Annual
Report). Other than the addition of the risk factor set forth
below, the disclosure under the heading Risk Factors in the
Annual Report remains applicable and unchanged as set forth
therein.

The Companys build-to-suit education tenants may not
achieve sufficient enrollment within expected timeframes and
therefore may not be able to pay their agreed upon rent, which
could adversely affect the Companys financial
results.

A significant portion of the Companys education investments
include investments in build-to-suit projects. When construction
is completed for these projects, tenants may require some period
of time to achieve full enrollment, and the Company may provide
them with lease terms that are more favorable to the tenant
during this timeframe. Tenants that fail to achieve sufficient
enrollment within expected timeframes may be unable to pay their
rent to the agreed upon lease terms or at all. If the Company is
required to restructure lease terms or take other action with
respect to the applicable property, its financial results may be
impacted by lower lease revenues, recording an impairment loss,
writing off rental amounts or otherwise.
