| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 8, 2026, Innovative
Industrial Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) and IIP Operating Partnership,
LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”),
entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, acting as representative of the several underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively,
the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell
2,000,000 shares (the “Underwritten Shares”) of its 9.25% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”),
at a public offering price of $25.00 per share (the “Offering”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional
300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions (the “Option
Shares” and together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Shares”).
The Shares have been established by Articles Supplementary to the Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company (the “Articles
Supplementary”).
The Offering is expected to
close on or about October 19, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Underwriting Agreement contains certain
customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Operating Partnership, conditions to closing, indemnification
rights and obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Company’s total net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting
the underwriting discount (before estimated expenses and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase
the Option Shares) are expected to be approximately $48.4 million.
The Offering is being conducted
pursuant to the Company’s preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and final prospectus supplement, each of which
has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which
supplement the Company’s base prospectus dated February 21, 2025 filed with the SEC as part of the Company’s registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285148).
The foregoing description
does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed
herewith as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
This report does not constitute
an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, the Series B Preferred
Stock proposed to be offered and sold pursuant to the preliminary prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus, final prospectus supplement
and registration statement described above.
