MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
On April 29, 2024, our common stock became eligible for trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol MKZR. The OTCQX Best Market is the highest market tier of OTC Markets on which 10,000
U.S. and global securities trade. Trading on OTCQX will enhance the visibility and accessibility of our common stock to U.S. investors. We have also secured Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) eligibility for our common shares. Trading through DTC
allows for cost-effective clearing and guaranteed settlement, simplifying and accelerating the settlement process of daily trades. In addition, on August 26, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with Maxim to provide general financial
advisory and investment banking services to the Company in connection with, among other things, strategic planning, potential uplisting to a U.S. exchange (NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange), and potential rights offering, equity issuance or other
mechanisms to enhance corporate and shareholder value. The timing of any up-list process will be dependent on a multitude of factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions.
Holders
As of September 27, 2024, we had 13,435,656.80 shares of our common stock, 765,429.60 shares of our Series A preferred stock, 63,909.52 shares of our
Series B preferred stock outstanding, held by a total of 1,857 common stockholders, 403 Series A preferred stockholders and 35 Series B preferred stockholders, respectively.
Distributions to Stockholders
We pay quarterly distributions to stockholders to the extent that we have income from operations available. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors after a
review and distributed pro-rata to holders of our shares; we declare distributions on a monthly basis, but pay each quarter. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. In no event are
we permitted to borrow money to make distributions if the amount of such distribution would exceed our annual accrued and received revenues, less operating costs. Distributions in kind are not permitted, except as provided in our Charter.
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on amounts that we distribute to the stockholders, provided that, on an annual basis, we
generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain) to the stockholders and meet certain other conditions. To the extent that we satisfy the
annual distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible
excise tax if the actual amount that we pay to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
We have a DRIP that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of stockholders for any individual stockholder who elects to participate in the DRIP, provided that
the DRIP is permitted by the state in which the stockholders reside. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions. On March 4, 2024, the Board of Directors suspended the common
stock share repurchase program and DRIP in connection with trading of its common stock on the OTCQX Best Market. Since our common stock became eligible for trading on OTC Markets in April 2024, the share repurchase program automatically
terminated, and the Board of Directors will decide whether, and when, to reinstate the DRIP.
