(1) "Sole voting power" and "sole dispositive power" consists of (i) 20,500 directly held common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("Shares") of National Storage Affiliates Trust (the "Company"), and (ii) 4,899,210 Class A common units of limited partner interest ("Class A OP Units") of NSA OP, LP (the "Partnership"), of which the Reporting Person beneficially owns (A) 4,356,474 Class A OP Units through Howard Family Limited Partnership I, for which the Reporting Person is the general partner ("HFLP"), (B) 496,196 Class A OP Units through Kevin M. Howard Revocable Living Trust DTD 12/31/17 (the "KMH Trust") and (C) 46,540 Class A OP Units through Kevin Howard Real Estate, Inc. that the Reporting Person had the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this report. Excludes 1,503,310 Class B common units of limited partner interest ("Class B OP Units") of the Partnership held through HFLP and KHM Trust which were not convertible into or exchangeable for Shares within 60 days of the date of this report at the Reporting Person's election.
(2) "Shared voting power" and "shared dispositive power" consist of 17,962 Class A OP Units, which the Reporting Person beneficially owns through Bobette T. Howard Revocable Living Trust DTD 12/31/17, for which the Reporting Person's spouse is the trustee ("BTH Trust"). Excludes 7,231 Class B OP Units of the Partnership held through BTH Trust which were not convertible into or exchangeable for Shares within 60 days of the date of this report at the Reporting Person's election. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units held through BTH Trust.
(3) The Reporting Person has the right to cause the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Class A OP Units for cash in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of the Company's Shares, or at the Company's option, for Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments. Class B OP Units are convertible into OP Units (i) at the Reporting Person's election only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to the properties to which such Class B OP Units relate (a "Voluntary Conversion") or (ii) at the election of the Company, upon certain retirement events and qualifying terminations (a "Non-Voluntary Conversion"). For Voluntary Conversions, Class B OP Units are convertible into Class A OP Units by dividing the average cash available for distribution ("CAD") per unit on the applicable series of Class B OP Units over the one-year period prior to conversion by 110% (the "Conversion Percentage") of the CAD per unit on the Class A OP Units determined over the same period. For Non-Voluntary Conversions, the Conversion Percentage will be 120%, 115%, or 110% depending upon the type and timing of the Non-Voluntary Conversion.
(4) The aggregate amount beneficially owned by the Reporting Person consists of the sum of the Reporting Person's (i) sole voting power and sole dispositive power and (ii) shared voting power and shared dispositive power. For purposes of determining the percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, the numerator is comprised of all of the Reporting Person's Shares together with each Class A OP Unit beneficially owned as if each such unit was exchanged for one Share as of December 31, 2021, and the denominator is comprised of all of the Company's 91,198,929 Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021 together with each Class A OP Unit beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as if each such unit was exchanged for one Share. The total number of Shares outstanding used in calculating this percentage assumes that none of the Class A OP Units or other units in the Partnership or its subsidiaries held by other persons are exchanged for Shares.
