The Prospectus Supplement relates to the resale by selling stockholders of up to 555,758 shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued from time to time if, and to the extent that, such selling stockholders, which hold an equal number of common units of limited partnership (“common units”) in STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership, tender such common units for redemption, and the Company elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exchange some or all of the common units tendered for redemption for common stock.
