On January 16, 2020, IIP-AZ 1 LLC ("Landlord"), a wholly owned subsidiary of IIP Operating Partnership, LP, the operating partnership subsidiary of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an amendment (the "Lease Amendment") to its lease (the "Lease") with SGS Arizona, LLC (formerly known as Sun Grown Solutions, LLC, "Tenant") for the property located at 5900 West Greenhouse Drive in Willcox, Arizona (the "Property").

The Lease Amendment provides for reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant of up to an additional $2.0 million for completion of certain additional tenant improvements at the Property (the "Additional TI Allowance").

The Lease Amendment also extends the initial term of the Lease to December 15, 2037, and provides for a guaranty of the Lease by The Pharm, LLC.

The foregoing description of the Lease Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Lease Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
