Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 12, 2025, Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and Sila Realty Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating

Partnership”) entered into an Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Equity Sales Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc.,

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Truist Securities, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., Huntington Securities, Inc., Citigroup

Global Markets Inc. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (collectively, the “Agents” and each individually, an “Agent”) and the

Forward Purchasers (as defined below). Pursuant to the Equity Sales Agreement, shares of the Company’s common stock,

$0.01 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000 (the “Shares”) may be offered and sold

from time to time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Sales Agreement, the Agents will act as the Company’s sales agents or,

when acting as forward sellers (except in the case of Janney Montgomery Scott LLC), as agents for the relevant Forward

Purchaser, in connection with any offerings of Shares. The Company may also sell Shares to an Agent as principal for its own

account. The Company also entered into separate master forward confirmations on August 12, 2025 (each a “Master Forward

Confirmation”) between the Company and each of Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Truist

Bank, Bank of Montreal, Huntington Securities, Inc. and Citibank, N.A. or one of their respective affiliates (in such capacity,

each a “Forward Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Forward Purchasers”).

The sales, if any, of the Shares under the Equity Sales Agreement will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in

Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the

New York Stock Exchange, or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market

prices or as otherwise agreed to with the applicable Agent.

The Equity Sales Agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale of the Shares through the Agents, the

Company may enter into one or more separate forward sale agreements pursuant to a Master Forward Confirmation and related

supplemental confirmations. If we enter into a forward sale agreement with any Forward Purchaser, we expect that such

Forward Purchaser or one of its affiliates will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant Agent, acting

as sales agent for such Forward Purchaser (in such capacity, a “Forward Seller”), shares of our common stock to hedge such

Forward Purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. We will not initially receive any proceeds from any sale of

borrowed shares of our common stock through an Agent, as Forward Seller.

We currently expect to fully physically settle each forward sale agreement, if any, with the relevant Forward Purchaser on

one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement, in which case we expect to

receive aggregate net cash proceeds on each settlement date equal to the number of Shares underlying such forward sale

agreement that are being settled multiplied by the relevant forward sale price per share. However, subject to certain exceptions,

we may also elect, in our sole discretion, to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward

sale agreement, in which case we may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds

(in the case of net share settlement), and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in

the case of net share settlement) to the relevant Forward Purchaser.

The Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Company’s common stock, but each

Agent will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Sales Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts,

consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable laws and regulations, to sell the Shares designated by the

Company and, in the case of shares of its common stock offered through such Agent as Forward Seller, the relevant Forward

Purchaser from time to time.

Each Agent will receive from the Company a commission that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0% of the gross

sales price of shares of our common stock sold through it as the Company’s sales agent. In connection with each forward sale

agreement, we will pay the applicable Agent, as Forward Seller, a commission, in the form of a reduction to the initial forward

sale price under the related forward sale agreement, at a mutually agreed rate that will not exceed, but may be lower than, 2.0%

of the initial forward sale price. The initial forward sale price is based on the gross sales price of the borrowed shares of our

common stock sold through such Agent, as Forward Seller, during the applicable forward selling period for such shares, subject

to certain adjustments during that period.

Under the terms of the Equity Sales Agreement, the Company may also sell shares of its common stock to one or more of

the Agents as principal, at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. If the Company sells shares of its common stock to one

or more of the Agents as principal, it will enter into a separate terms agreement with such Agent or Agents, as the case may be.

In any such sale to an Agent as principal, the Company may agree to pay the applicable Agent a commission or underwriting

discount that may exceed 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of common stock sold to such Agent, as principal.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of Shares or upon physical settlement of any forward sale

agreement we may enter into with any of the Forward Purchasers for general corporate purposes, which may include, among

other things, repaying amounts outstanding from time to time under the Company’s credit facilities, working capital and capital

expenditures, potential future acquisitions, or a combinations of the foregoing.

The foregoing descriptions of the Equity Sales Agreement and the Master Forward Confirmation do not purport to be

complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Equity Sales Agreement, including the form of Master

Forward Confirmation, which is being filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by

reference.
