Dividend Policy
We plan to pay at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders in order to maintain our status as a REIT. We intend to continue to declare dividends, however, we cannot provide any assurance as to the amount or timing of future dividends. Our goal is to make cash dividend distributions out of our operating cash flow and proceeds from the sale of properties. During 2025, we did not paid dividends to holders of our Series A Common Stock.
To the extent that we pay dividends in excess of our earnings and profits, as computed for federal income tax purposes, these dividends will represent a return of capital, rather than a dividend, for federal income tax purposes. Dividends that are treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes generally will not be taxable as a dividend to a U.S. stockholder, but will reduce the stockholder’s basis in its shares (but not below zero) and therefore can result in the stockholder having a higher gain upon a subsequent sale of such shares. Return of capital dividends in excess of a stockholder’s basis generally will be treated as gain from the sale of such shares for federal income tax purposes.
We provide each of our stockholders a statement detailing dividends paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, capital gain or return of capital annually. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all dividends to holders of our Series A Common Stock were non-taxable as they were considered return of capital to the stockholders.
As of January 28, 2026 the Board of Directors has suspended our monthly dividend for Series D Preferred Stock. In accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock, the unpaid monthly dividends will continue to accrue at $0.19531 per share each month. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, is payable in respect of any dividend payments on the Series D Preferred Stock that are in arrears. We currently estimate that suspension of the dividend will preserve approximately $2.3 million in cash on an annualized basis. The Board and the Company intend to reassess, on a quarterly basis, when accrued dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock may be paid and when the monthly dividend payments can be reinstated.

While we will continue to pursue value creating investments, the Board of Directors believes there is significant embedded value in our assets that is yet to be realized by the market. Therefore, returning capital to stockholders through a repurchase program is an attractive use of capital currently. In November 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $6.0 million of outstanding shares of our Series A Common Stock and up to $4.0 million of our Series D Preferred Stock which expired in November 2024. In December 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $6.0 million of outstanding shares of our Series A Common Stock and up to $4.0 million of our Series D Preferred Stock, which expired in December 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 16,080 shares of our Series A Common Stock, with an average price of $4.79 per share, including a commission of $0.025 per share, for a total cost of $77,092 for the Series A Common Stock. This does not include the shares repurchased in the Tender Offer during April-May 2025 as noted below. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 23,346 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock at an average price of approximately $14.76 per share, including a commission of $0.035 per share, for a total cost of $344,503 for the Series D Preferred Stock. Any repurchased shares are treated as authorized and unissued in accordance with Maryland law and shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at cost.

(1) On April 8, 2025, we commenced a fixed price self-tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase for cash all odd lots plus up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date, subject to the Company’s ability to increase the number of shares accepted for payment in the Tender Offer by up to 2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (resulting in an increase of up to approximately 28,308 shares) without amending or extending the Tender Offer in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, at $6.80 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Tender Offer expired at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on May 5, 2025. Based on the final count by the depositary for the Tender Offer, 214,412 shares of Series A common stock were validly and successfully tendered and not properly withdrawn, including tenders of shares for which the tender was defective but for which the Company waived such defects. Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, the Company accepted for purchase 214,412 shares of Series A common stock, including 1,209 odd lot shares. Total cash required to complete the Tender Offer was approximately $1,458,000, excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer. We believe that the Tender Offer provided an efficient mechanism to provide our stockholders who desired immediate liquidity with the opportunity to tender shares at a favorable price relative to the current market price and without incurring broker’s fees associated with most secondary market sales, while also providing a benefit to those stockholders who did not participate, as such stockholders automatically increased their relative percentage ownership interest in the Company and our future operations, including any liquidity events that we may have in the future. Another purpose of the Tender Offer was to reduce the number of our issued and outstanding shares and to reduce or eliminate all of our odd lots. Overall, we believe that the Tender Offer was a prudent use of our financial resources given our business profile, capital structure, assets and liabilities.
(2) On December 19, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $6.0 million of outstanding shares of our Series A Common Stock and up to $4.0 million of our Series D Preferred Stock. The stock repurchase programs that expired on December 18, 2025, were not renewed by the Board of Directors.
