On February 14, 2023, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. On February 23, 2023, the Company, IAS Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and Invesco Advisers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Manager”), entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with JMP Securities LLC and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (the “Placement Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may sell up to 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), from time to time through the Placement Agents. The Shares are registered with the Commission pursuant to the Registration Statement, as amended. The Company has filed with the Commission a prospectus supplement, dated February 23, 2023, to the base prospectus filed with Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, dated February 14, 2023, in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares from time to time in the future.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Placement Agents will each use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their respective sales and trading practices to solicit offers to purchase the Shares in accordance with instructions from the Company.

The Placement Agents will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.00% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares sold through the Placement Agents from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.
The Company is not obligated to sell, and the Placement Agents are not obligated to buy or sell, any Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
