MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations that are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The additional risk factor set forth below updates, and should be read together with, such risk factors. Risks Relating to Potential Rescission Claims Previous issuances of common shares under our dividend reinvestment program may have violated certain federal and/or state securities laws, and shareholders could file suit to seek rescission of such securities. During the period beginning June 2021 and ending December 2021, in an offering pursuant to our registration statement on Form N-2, we made sales of securities under our dividend reinvestment program pursuant to a deficient registration statement (which registrant statement became deficient by virtue of our inadvertently failing to amend the registration statement to include the then-current audit report of our auditors). Consequently, the offer and sale of securities pursuant to the Form N-2 may have failed to comply fully with Section 5 of the Securities Act which may trigger a right of rescission under the Securities Act for investors that purchased shares of our common stock during this period under our dividend reinvestment program. Accordingly, we may have liability to purchasers of such securities if they were to file suit against us; the remedy could be to repurchase such securities at their purchase price plus statutory interest, less the amount of any income received with respect to such shares. There may be claims relating to our possible non-compliance with federal and/or state securities laws relating to the deficient Form N-2 referenced above, and we may continue to be contingently liable for rescission or damages of an indeterminate amount. It is possible that regulators could pursue enforcement actions or impose penalties and fines against us with respect to any violations of securities laws relating to the issuance of dividend reinvestment program shares under the deficient Form N-2 referenced above. If we have to repurchase shares as discussed above, it may affect our cash balances. If we have to repurchase shares of our common stock issued under the deficient registration statement referenced above, such rescission payments will be funded from our existing cash balances. Any rescission payments would reduce funds available to us for our operations. If all persons issued shares without registration were to successfully file suit and force rescission, we could need to pay a total of approximately $865,000 and our results of operations, cash balances or financial condition will be negatively affected.
