§ So far, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company’s business and operations has been limited. § The pandemic has significantly affected sectors of the U.S. agricultural industry to which we have limited or no direct exposure, such as fresh food production marketed to the hospitality industry, and meat packing. § We expect slower-moving ripples to potentially affect sectors of the agricultural industry in which we are invested:
- Lower gasoline demand has affected demand for ethanol and therefore corn;
- Labor availability and export logistics disruptions may affect specialty crops prices and our
tenants’ ability to effectively harvest and deliver product;
- Disruptions in the meat packing industry due to worker health concerns may affect herd and
flock sizes and ultimately feed demand. § In the long term, we do not expect COVID-19 to materially affect global demand for food, feed, fuel and fiber, and therefore farmland values. 7
Company Overview
COVID-19 Update
Background § On July 11, 2018, a short seller using the pseudonym “Rota Fortunae” and his co-conspirators launched a “short and distort” attack on FPI by posting false and misleading statements on SeekingAlpha.com. § As a result of the attack, the stock fell nearly 40% that day and remained depressed for some time, despite FPI’s detailed rebuttal of the allegations. § For weeks leading up to the posting, investors accumulated short positions, including short-dated FPI put
- ptions, which they cashed in through profitable trades timed to capitalize on the panic selling on the day of
the false and misleading posting. Farmland Partners Inc. v. Rota Fortunae, et al. § Shortly after the posting, FPI filed a complaint against Rota Fortunae and his co-conspirators, who have remained so far anonymous. § In rulings last month the Court ordered that Rota Fortunae and his co-conspirators could no longer remain anonymous and recognized the profit motive behind their actions. § FPI intends to continue to pursue this case to recover damages for the harm caused to the shareholders and the company. Class Action Lawsuit § As a result of Rota Fortunae’s posting and the associated share price decline, a shareholder class action lawsuit was filed against FPI relying on the posting’s false and misleading allegations. § FPI is vigorously defending itself as the lawsuit is meritless and frivolous.
