DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. Pursuant to the Presidio Bylaws and as fixed by our Board of Directors, the number of members of the Board is currently set at six directors. On March 18, 2024, the Company filed Articles Supplementary (“Articles Supplementary”) relating to the Company’s election to be subject to Section 3-803 of the MGCL with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland. The Articles Supplementary classified the Board into three classes with directors serving three-year terms, with such classes designated Class I, Class II, and Class III. The term of the Class I directors shall last until the Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. The term of the Class II directors shall last until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. The term of the Class III directors shall last until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term continuing until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are elected and qualified. The Class I directors consist of David T. Bruen and Steve Hightower, the Class II directors consist of Jennifer A. Barnes and Tracie Hager, and the Class III directors consist of Jack K. Heilbron and James R. Durfey. Our Board consists of a diverse group of highly experienced and accomplished leaders in their respective fields.

Detailed information about each director’s background, skill set, and areas of experience can be found under “Director Biographies” below.

The director qualifications currently focus on what the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes to be essential competencies to effectively serve on the Board in conjunction with the director qualification standards and selection criteria outlined by the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Bruen X^ James R. Durfey Chair X Tracie Hager X X Chair ^ Financial expert 4 Board Independence Our Board has determined that each of our current directors, except for Jack K. Heilbron and Steve Hightower, has no relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and is “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of Nasdaq (“Nasdaq Rules”) and our director independence standards. The Board of Directors established and employed the following categorical standards (which are at least as restrictive as “independent” standards of the Nasdaq Rules) in determining whether a relationship is material and thus would disqualify such director from being independent: ■ The director is, or has been within the last three years, our employee or an employee of any of our subsidiaries; ■ An immediate family member of the director is, or has been within the last three years, our executive officer or an executive officer of any of our subsidiaries; ■ The director (or an immediate family member of the director) received during any 12-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from us and/or any of our subsidiaries, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service); ■ The director was affiliated with or employed within the last three years by our present or former external auditor or an immediate family member of the director was affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by our present or former external auditor and worked on our audit within the last three years; ■ The director (or an immediate family member of the director) is, or has been within the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of our executives serve or served on that company’s compensation committee; ■ The director, or an immediate family member of the director, is currently a controlling stockholder, partner or executive officer of another company that made payments to, or received payments from us or any of our subsidiaries for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $200,000, or 5% of such other company’s consolidated gross revenues; or ■ The director (or an immediate family member of the director) was, within the last three years, an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization where our (or an affiliated charitable foundation’s) annual discretionary charitable contributions to the charitable organization exceeded the greater of $200,000 or 5% of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues. An “affiliate” includes any person beneficially owning in excess of 10% of the voting power of, or a general partner or managing member of, a company. Meetings and Attendance The Board met five (5) times during 2023 and the various committees of the Board met a total of six (6) times. For the 2023 fiscal year, all directors attended at least 100% of the total number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which the director served during the year. Although the Company has no policy with regard to Board members’ attendance at the Company’s annual meetings, the Company expects all Board members to attend any meeting of stockholders at which stockholders are anticipated by the Company to be present. Since very few stockholders attend annual meetings, no independent director attended the 2023 annual meeting. To ensure free and open discussion among the independent directors of the Board, if necessary, the independent directors may meet prior to or after Board meetings, but in no event fewer than two times per year. 5 Diversity Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes the benefits associated with, and strives to create, diversity on the Board of Directors as a whole when identifying and selecting nominees. Although our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy with respect to board diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a broad conception of diversity and will consider the candidate’s geographic background, gender, age and ethnicity. These and the additional factors such as a candidate’s experience in corporate management, including serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company, the candidate’s experience as a board member of a publicly held company, the candidate’s professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry, the strength of the candidate’s leadership skills, the candidate’s experience in finance and accounting and/or executive compensation practices, and whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, and others are considered useful by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are reviewed in terms of assessing the needs of our Board at any particular point in time. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee focuses on having a Board which collectively possesses a broad range of talent, skill, expertise and experience useful to the effective oversight of our Company’s business and affairs. Typically, on an annual basis, as part of our Board of Directors’ self-evaluation, each director assesses whether the overall mix of our Board members is appropriate for our Company. Board Diversity Matrix (As of March 31, 2024) Total Number of Directors 6 Female Male Non-Binary Did Not Disclose Gender Part I: Gender Identity Directors 2 4 Part II: Demographic Background African American or Black Alaskan Native or Native American 1 Asian Hispanic or Latinx Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander White 2* 3 Two or More Races or Ethnicities 1 1 LGBTQ+ - Catholic 1 Military Veteran 1 Did Not Disclose Demographic Background - *Of the Company’s two female directors, one is both White and Native American. Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight The Board believes the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, together with a Lead Independent Director, is in the best interests of the Company because it provides the appropriate balance between strategic development and independent oversight of management. The Company believes the chosen leadership structure is the most appropriate for its size and business. Since our inception, Jack K. Heilbron has served as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Company has a Lead Independent Director, David T. Bruen. As Lead Independent Director, Mr. Bruen presides over all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors, reviews Board meeting schedules and agendas in collaboration with the Chairman of the Board and acts as the liaison between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Lead Independent Director also monitors and addresses any compliance issues, improprieties, or ethical considerations, including anonymous submissions by Company employees that by their nature cannot be brought to management. Code of Ethics and Conduct The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct (“Ethics Code”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer. The Ethics Code, which was last revised on December 6, 2019, is posted under the Investor / Corporate Governance section of our website at www. presidiopt.com. To the extent required by applicable SEC rules, we intend to post any future amendments to or waivers from the Ethics Code promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver on our website at www. presidiopt.com. 6 NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE In 2023, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee was comprised of Ms. Hager (Chair) and Mr. Durfey, each of whom was or is “independent” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Rules and our director independence standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met one (1) time during 2023. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s principal responsibilities include: ■ Reviewing the purpose, structure and membership of the committees of the Board of Directors; ■ Reviewing the succession planning for our executive management; ■ Assisting the Board in developing and implementing our Corporate Governance Guidelines; ■ Considering questions of possible conflicts of interest of the Board, as such questions arise; ■ Determining the size, needs and composition of the Board and its committees; ■ Monitoring a process to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the Board; and ■ Recommending nominees to the full Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter available on the Company’s website at https://presidiopt.com/corporate-governance/ . Ms. Hager was recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as a director candidate by Mr. Durfey. Stockholder Recommendations of Director Candidates The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s policy is to consider director candidates properly recommended by stockholders. The stockholder must submit a resume of the candidate and an explanation of the reasons why such stockholder believes the candidate is qualified for service on the Board and how the candidate satisfies the Board criteria noted above. The stockholder must also provide such other information about the candidate as would be required by the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement. In addition, the stockholder must include the consent of the candidate to serve as a director if elected and describe any arrangements or undertakings between the stockholder and the candidate regarding the nomination. The stockholder must submit proof of ownership of the Company’s shares of stock. All communications are to be directed to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, Presidio Property Trust, Inc., 4995 Murphy Canyon Road, Suite 300, San Diego, California 92123. Properly submitted stockholder recommendations of director candidates will be evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee using the same criteria used to evaluate other director candidates. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE In 2023, the Compensation Committee was comprised of Mr. Durfey (Chair) and Ms. Hager, each of whom is “independent” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Rules and our director independence standards. The Compensation Committee met one (1) time during 2023. The Compensation Committee’s principal responsibilities include: ■ reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and evaluating our CEO’s performance in light of these goals and objectives and, based upon this evaluation (either alone or, if directed by the Board of Directors, in conjunction with a majority of the independent directors on the Board), setting our CEO’s compensation (our CEO may not be present during voting deliberations on his compensation); ■ reviewing and setting or recommending to the Board the compensation of our named executive officers other than the CEO; ■ reviewing and providing oversight of our compensation philosophy and composition of our peer company community used for market comparisons; 7 ■ reviewing and approving or recommending to the Board our incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; ■ performing a periodic evaluation of the Compensation Committee’s performance in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities under the Compensation Committee charter; ■ reviewing and recommending to the Board the compensation of our non-employee directors; ■ to the extent that we are required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or annual proxy statement, reviewing and discussing with management our CD&A and considering whether to recommend to our Board that our CD&A be included in the appropriate filing; ■ preparing the annual Compensation Committee Report; ■ reporting regularly to the Board regarding the activities of the Compensation Committee; and ■ annually reviewing and reassessing our Compensation Committee charter and submitting any recommended changes to the Board for its approval. The Compensation Committee operates pursuant to a written charter available on the Company’s website at https://presidiopt.com/corporate-governance/ . The Compensation Committee may also delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee and/or delegate the authority to grant stock or other equity rights to one or more officers of our Company in a manner that is in accordance with applicable law. 8 ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Overview of Compensation Program The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee ensures that the total compensation paid is fair, reasonable, and competitive. The following narrative explains our compensation philosophy, objectives, policies, and practices with respect to our named executive officers, as determined in accordance with applicable SEC rules. The Compensation Committee does not utilize compensation consultants for executive or director compensation. Compensation Objectives, Philosophy and Risk Assessment The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by us and that aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. Together with the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain employees in key positions with superior ability, experience and leadership capability and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation packages provided to our employees, including our named executive officers, should include both cash and share-based compensation that rewards performance measured against established goals. The Compensation Committee believes that measures such as growth in assets and number of properties, rental income, funds from operations (“FFO”) and core funds from operations (“Core FFO”) play an important part in setting compensation; however, the Compensation Committee also recognizes that often outside forces beyond the control of management, such as economic conditions, capital market conditions, changing retail and real estate markets, and other factors, may contribute to less favorable near-term results. We calculate FFO, as defined by the National Association of REITs, as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We calculate Core FFO by using FFO and adjusting for certain other non-core items. We also exclude from our Core FFO calculation acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of earn-out, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash warrant dividends and amortization of stock-based compensation. FFO and Core FFO are non-GAAP measures. The Compensation Committee also strives to assess whether management is making appropriate strategic decisions that will allow us to succeed over the long term and build long-term stockholder value. These may include ensuring that we have the appropriate leasing and acquisition pipelines to ensure a future stream of recurring and increasing revenues, assessing our risks associated with real estate markets and tenant credit, managing our debt maturities, and determining whether our staffing and general and administrative expense is appropriate given our projected operating requirements. We believe that our compensation programs do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking that could have a material adverse effect on our Company. In establishing and reviewing our compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers whether the program encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking and has concluded that it does not. Base salaries are fixed in amount and thus do not encourage risk taking. In addition, the annual bonus program appropriately balances risk and the desire to focus on goals important to our success without putting undue emphasis on any particular performance measure or encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Furthermore, a significant portion of the compensation provided to our named executive officers may be in the form of equity awards that are important to help further align executives’ interests with those of our stockholders. These awards do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking since the ultimate value of the awards is tied to the value of our stock, and grants are subject to vesting or retention schedules to help ensure that executives have significant value tied to our long-term stock performance. 9 Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions The Compensation Committee makes direct compensation decisions with respect to the compensation of Mr. Heilbron, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and establishes the general parameters within which it establishes the compensation for our other named executive officers and senior management team. The Compensation Committee may also review equity awards to other officers and employees. Our Chief Executive Officer is not present for any deliberations or decisions on his own compensation. The Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of our other named executive officers and senior management team annually and makes recommendations with respect to salary adjustments, bonuses and equity award amounts for such individuals. The Compensation Committee may choose to exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustment or award. Total Compensation Total annual compensation consists of base salary, cash incentives, and long-term equity incentive compensation in the form of stock. In setting the total annual compensation for our named executive officers, information on the performance of each named executive officer for the prior year and market data covering peer group salaries are generally utilized. This evaluation is comprised of both a quantitative assessment as well as a qualitative assessment. The target levels for the total annual compensation of our named executive officers and senior management team are generally less than the average of the peer group used, primarily due to our size. We believe that this approach contemplates both the quantitative and qualitative elements of each position and rewards performance. In addition, this approach allows our skilled and talented executives to guide and lead our business and supports a “pay for performance” culture. Annual Cash Compensation Base Salary Each of our named executive officers receives a base salary to compensate him for services performed during the year. When determining the base salary for each of our named executive officers, the market levels of similar positions (discounted for size) at the peer group companies, the performance of the named executive officer, the experience of the named executive officer in his position, and the other components of compensation and total compensation are generally considered. The named executive officers are eligible for annual increases in their base salaries. Annual Non-Equity Compensation A significant portion of each named executive officer’s compensation is in the form of an annual cash bonus and stock grants. For 2023, named executive officers and all Company employees could elect to receive all or a portion of their annual cash bonus in the form of stock that immediately vested equal to approximately two times cash. None of the named executive officers, except Mr. Heilbron, elected that option this year. The annual bonuses are primarily based upon quantifiable company and executive performance objectives. This practice is consistent with our compensation objective of supporting a performance-based environment. An annual determination is made as to the appropriate weight between company-wide and executive specific goals based upon an assessment of the appropriate balance. Each year, the Compensation Committee sets for the Chief Executive Officer a threshold and target bonus that may be awarded to him if the threshold goals are achieved. No specific target bonus was established for Mr. Katz and Mr. Hightower for 2023 and their bonuses were determined at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Heilbron a 5% cost of living salary increase for 2023. Mr. Heilbron was issued a bonus of 360,000 shares in January 2024. Due to the closing of the Murphy Canyon de-SPAC transaction, Mr. Heilbron was entitled to receive a cash bonus of 1% of the value of the SPAC stock owned by the Company valued on the day which is six months and one day after the de-SPAC transaction is completed. This bonus was reduced by the total value of 360,000 shares of Presidio common stock as priced at the close of business on March 20, 2024. The bonus was paid in the form of stock that vested immediately and was issued on March 22, 2024 in 149,253 shares of Series A Common Stock, valued as of the close of trading on March 20, 2024. 10 Long-Term Incentive Compensation We grant long-term equity incentive awards to our named executive officers as part of our overall compensation package. These awards are consistent with our policies of fostering a performance-based environment and aligning the interests of our senior management with the financial interests of our stockholders. When determining the amount of long-term equity incentive awards to be granted, the following factors are considered: our business performance, using metrics such as Core FFO, and performance of real estate assets (including, but not limited to, occupancy, same-store property net operating income growth and leasing spreads); the individual responsibilities and performance of each executive, such as how he performed relative to his delineated goals; strategic accomplishment, such as identifying strategic direction for us, and market factors, such as navigating the current economic climate and the strength of the balance sheet and debt maturities. We compensate our named executive officers through grants of shares. These shares vested equally over a three-year period for more recent grants (and over a ten-year period for certain grants made earlier) for all officers. The aggregate value of the long-term incentive compensation granted is based upon established goals including an assessment of Core FFO as compared to budgeted or targeted goals; the identification of strategic initiatives, their execution and the anticipated long-term benefits to stockholders. Distributions are paid on the entire grant, regardless of vesting. Equity compensation is awarded to our Chief Executive Officer by the Compensation Committee and to other named executive officers based primarily on the strategic initiatives and performance during the applicable fiscal year. The stock awards granted to our named executive officers during 2023 are reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table below. On January 3, 2023, Mr. Katz was granted 277,809 shares of Series A Common Stock. All such stock granted vests in equal installments over three years. Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits We provide our named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits, including payment of premiums for an additional life insurance policy, for certain named executive officers, an auto allowance, and for Mr. Heilbron, payment of country club dues, that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the named executive officers. We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for all employees on the same basis, which provides matching contributions at the rate of 100% of the employee’s contributions up to 4% of their salary. In 2023, employees could contribute up to $22,500 of their salary and a catch-up contribution of up to $7,500 for employees aged 50 and older, subject to annual limits under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Named executive officers are also eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, group life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case, on the same basis as other employees.

Equity Plans 2017 Incentive Award Plan Effective as of October 18, 2017, we adopted the 2017 Incentive Award Plan, or the Plan, most recently amended on May 26, 2022 and June 1, 2023, under which we may grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible service providers in order to motivate, attract and retain the talent for which we compete. Eligibility and Administration . Our employees, consultants and directors (including employees, consultants and directors of our subsidiaries) are eligible to receive awards under the Plan. Approximately 15 employees, two consultants and four non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the Plan . T he Plan will be administered by the Board with respect to awards to non-employee directors and by the Compensation Committee with respect to other participants, each of which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of our directors and/or officers (referred to collectively as the “plan administrator”), subject to certain limitations that may be imposed under the Code, Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and/or stock exchange rules, as applicable. The plan administrator will have the authority to administer the Plan, including the authority to select award recipients, determine the nature and amount of each award, and determine the terms and conditions of each award. The plan administrator will also have the authority to make all determinations and interpretations under, prescribe all forms for use with, and adopt rules for the administration of, the Plan, subject to its express terms and conditions. Size of Share Reserve; Limitations on Awards . The total number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan is 3,500,000 shares, which may be issued as shares of our Series A or our Series C Common Stock, as determined by the plan administrator, provided that, since the date on which the Series A Common Stock became publicly listed, we have and intend to issue only shares of Series A Common Stock under the Plan. Shares that are potentially deliverable under an award that expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled for cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of such shares will, to the extent of such expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, cash settlement or termination, again be available for new grants under the Plan, and shares withheld by us in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to any award will again be available for new grants under the Plan. However, the following shares may not be used again for grant under the Plan: (a) previously owned shares tendered by a participant to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with an award; and (b) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan will not be adjusted for the reverse stock split. To the extent permitted under applicable securities exchange rules without stockholder approval, awards granted under the Plan in connection with the assumption, replacement, conversion or adjustment of outstanding equity awards in the context of a corporate acquisition or merger will not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the Plan. 16 The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any one participant pursuant to the Plan during any calendar year is 1,100,000 shares and the maximum amount that may be paid under a cash award pursuant to the Plan to any one participant during any calendar year period is $5,000,000. The individual award limit under the Plan will not be adjusted for the reverse stock split. The plan administrator may establish compensation for our non-employee directors in accordance with the Plan, including the terms, conditions and amounts of all such compensation. However, subject to certain exceptions, the sum of any cash compensation and the value of awards granted to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $500,000, increased to $800,000 for the non-employee director’s initial year of service. Evergreen Provision . The Plan provides that on April 1 and October 1 of each year, the maximum number of shares of common stock available under the Plan will automatically increase by 15% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of common stock, if on such date of the year 3,500,000 (as adjusted for any reverse splits) is less than 15% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock outstanding as of such date of the year. Awards . The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, performance bonuses, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, other incentive awards and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). All awards under the Plan will be set forth in award agreements, which will detail all terms and conditions of the awards, including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations. Awards will be settled in shares of our common stock or cash, as determined by the plan administrator. Stock Options. Stock options provide for the purchase of shares of our common stock in the future at an exercise price set on the grant date. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant, except with respect to certain substitute options granted in connection with a corporate transaction. The term of a stock option may not be longer than ten years. Vesting conditions determined by the plan administrator may apply to stock options and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions. Restricted Stock Units. RSUs are contractual promises to deliver shares of our common stock (or the fair market value of such shares in cash) in the future, which may also remain forfeitable unless and until specified vesting conditions are met. RSUs generally may not be sold or transferred until vesting conditions are removed or expire. The shares underlying RSUs will not be issued until the RSUs have vested, and recipients of RSUs generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time the RSUs are settled in shares, unless the RSU includes a dividend equivalent right (in which case the holder may be entitled to dividend equivalent payments under certain circumstances). Delivery of the shares underlying the RSUs may be deferred under the terms of the award or at the election of the participant, if the plan administrator permits such a deferral. On the settlement date or dates, we will issue to the participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of our common stock (or the fair market value of one such share in cash) for each vested and non-forfeited RSU. Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is an award of nontransferable shares of our common stock that remain forfeitable unless and until specified vesting conditions are met. Vesting conditions applicable to restricted stock may be based on continuing service, the attainment of performance goals and/or such other conditions as the plan administrator may determine. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until all restrictions are removed or expire. Stock Appreciation Rights. SARs entitle their holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount equal to the appreciation of the shares subject to the award between the grant date and the exercise date. The exercise price of a SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant (except with respect to certain substitute SARs granted in connection with a corporate transaction) and the term of a SAR may not be longer than ten years. Vesting conditions determined by the plan administrator may apply to SARs and may include continued service, performance and/or other conditions. SARs under the Plan will be settled in cash or shares of common stock, or in a combination of both, as determined by the administrator. 17 Performance Shares. Performance shares are contractual rights to receive a range of shares of our common stock in the future based on the attainment of specified performance goals, in addition to other conditions which may apply to these awards. Conditions applicable to performance shares may be based on continuing service, the attainment of performance goals and/or such other conditions as the plan administrator may determine. Stock Payments. Stock payments are awards of fully vested shares of our common stock that may, but need not, be made in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. Other Incentive Awards. Other incentive awards are awards other than those enumerated in this summary that are denominated in, linked to or derived from shares of our common stock or value metrics related to our shares, and may remain forfeitable unless and until specified conditions are met. Other incentive awards may be linked to any one or more specific performance criteria determined by the plan administrator. Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are credited as of dividend payments dates during the period between a specified date and the date such award terminates or expires, as determined by the plan administrator. Performance Bonus Awards. Performance bonus awards are cash bonus awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals. Certain Transactions . The plan administrator has broad discretion to take action under the Plan, as well as make adjustments to the terms and conditions of existing and future awards, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits and facilitate necessary or desirable changes in the event of certain transactions and events affecting our common stock, such as stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and other corporate transactions. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with our stockholders known as “equity restructurings,” the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to the Plan and outstanding awards. In the event of a “change in control,” to the extent that the surviving entity declines to assume or substitute outstanding awards or it is otherwise determined that awards will not be assumed or substituted, the plan administrator shall cause the awards to become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the transaction. Claw-Back Provisions, Transferability, and Participant Payments . All awards will be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by us to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable award agreement. With limited exceptions for estate planning, domestic relations orders, certain beneficiary designations and the laws of descent and distribution, awards under the Plan are generally non-transferable prior to vesting, and are exercisable only by the participant, unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash or check, shares of our common stock that meet specified conditions, a “market sell order” or such other consideration as it deems suitable. Plan Amendment and Termination . The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of the affected participant, impair any rights or obligations under any previously-granted award, unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides. If not earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan will terminate in October 2027. Additional REIT Restrictions . The Plan provides that no participant will be granted, become vested in the right to receive or acquire or be permitted to acquire, or will have any right to acquire, shares under an award if such acquisition would be prohibited by the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock contained in our charter or would impair our status as a REIT. Securities Laws . The Plan is intended to conform to all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3. The Plan will be administered, and awards will be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 18 Federal Income Tax Consequences. The material federal income tax consequences of the Plan under current federal income tax law are summarized in the following discussion, which deals with the general tax principles applicable to the Plan. The following discussion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. Foreign, state and local tax laws, and employment, estate and gift tax considerations are not discussed due to the fact that they may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. Stock Options and SARs . A Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income and we generally will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the grant of a stock option or SAR. Only non-qualified stock options may be granted under the Plan. Upon exercising an option when the fair market value of our stock is higher than the exercise price of the option, a Plan participant generally will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the purchase price, and we (or our subsidiaries, if any) generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense, in the amount equal to the amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased exceeds the purchase price for the shares. Upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the option shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant’s tax basis in the shares. Upon exercising or settling an SAR, a Plan participant will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, and we should be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense, in the amount paid or value of the shares issued upon exercise or settlement. Payments in shares will be valued at the fair market value of the shares at the time of the payment, and upon the subsequent disposition of the shares the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant’s tax basis in the shares. Restricted Stock and RSUs . A Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates and we generally will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the grant of restricted stock or RSUs. Upon the termination of restrictions on restricted stock or the payment of RSUs, the participant will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, and we should be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense, in the amount paid to the participant or the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares received by the participant exceeds the amount, if any, paid for them. Upon the subsequent disposition of any shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant’s tax basis in the shares. However, a Plan participant granted restricted stock that is subject to forfeiture or repurchase through a vesting schedule such that it is subject to a “risk of forfeiture” (as defined in Section 83 of the Code) may, subject to our consent, make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, at the time of the grant, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant, less the amount paid, if any, for such shares. We will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation, in the amount recognized as taxable income by the participant. If a timely Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional ordinary income on the termination of restrictions on restricted stock, and we will not be entitled to any additional tax deduction. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards . A Plan participant will not recognize taxable income and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the grant of other stock or cash based awards until cash or shares are paid or distributed to the participant. At that time, any cash payments or the fair market value of shares that the participant receives will be taxable to the participant at ordinary income tax rates and we should be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense. Payments in shares will be valued at the fair market value of the shares at the time of the payment, and upon the subsequent disposition of the shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant’s tax basis in the shares. 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan We established the 1999 Flexible Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”) for the purpose of attracting and retaining employees. No additional awards have been granted under the 1999 Plan since October 2017. 19 Share Reserve. The 1999 Plan provided that the maximum number of shares to be issued under the 1999 Plan would be an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at such time; the aggregate number of common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 1,100,000 shares. At December 31, 2023, approximately 256,929 restricted shares of common stock had been issued under the 1999 Plan and approximately 1,992,013 shares of Restricted Stock (as defined in the 1999 Plan) had been issued under such plan. Awards . The 1999 Plan provides that our administrator may grant or issue stock options, restricted stock, performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards or any combination thereof. The administrator considers each award grant subjectively, considering factors such as the individual performance of the recipient and the anticipated contribution of the recipient to the attainment of our long-term goals. Each award is set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and indicates the type, terms and conditions of the award. To date, only restricted stock has been issued under the 1999 Plan. Restricted stock may be granted to participants and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Typically, restricted stock may be repurchased by us at the original purchase price or, if no cash consideration was paid for such stock, forfeited for no consideration if the conditions or restrictions are not met, and the restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties until restrictions are removed or expire. Recipients of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, may have voting rights and may receive dividends, if any, prior to when the restrictions lapse. Administration . Our Board of Directors administers the 1999 Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 1999 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each person, determine the number of awards to grant, determine the number of shares to be subject to such awards, and the terms and conditions of such awards, and make all other determinations and decisions and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 1999 Plan. The plan administrator is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to administration of the 1999 Plan, subject to certain restrictions. Eligibility . Awards under the 1999 Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our employees, consultants and members of our Board of Directors and our subsidiaries. Approximately 15 employees, two (2) consultants and four (4) non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 1999 Plan . Corporate Transactions . In the event of a corporate transaction where the acquirer does not assume awards granted under the 1999 Plan, awards issued under the 1999 Plan will be subject to accelerated vesting such that 100% of the awards will become vested and exercisable or payable. Under the 1999 Plan, a corporate transaction is generally defined as any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or conversion involving our company or any exchange of securities involving the common stock, provided that a primary issuance of shares of common stock shall not be deemed to be a corporate transaction. Amendment and Termination of the 1999 Plan . Our Board of Directors may terminate, amend or modify the 1999 Plan. Securities Laws . The 1999 Plan is intended to conform to all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3. The 1999 Plan will be administered, and awards will be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. Federal Income Tax Consequences. The material federal income tax consequences of the 1999 Plan under current federal income tax law are summarized in the following discussion, which deals with the general tax principles applicable to the 1999 Plan. The following discussion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. Foreign, state and local tax laws, and employment, estate and gift tax considerations are not discussed due to the fact that they may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. 20 A 1999 Plan participant generally will not recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates and we generally will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the grant of restricted stock. Upon the termination of restrictions on restricted stock, the participant will recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, and we should be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation expense, in the amount paid to the participant or the amount by which the then fair market value of the shares received by the participant exceeds the amount, if any, paid for them. Upon the subsequent disposition of any shares, the participant will recognize a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss in the amount of the difference between the sales price of the shares and the participant’s tax basis in the shares. However, a 1999 Plan participant granted restricted stock that is subject to forfeiture or repurchase through a vesting schedule such that it is subject to a “risk of forfeiture” (as defined in Section 83 of the Code) may make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize taxable income at ordinary income tax rates, at the time of the grant, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant, less the amount paid, if any, for such shares. We will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for compensation, in the amount recognized as taxable income by the participant. If a timely Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional ordinary income on the termination of restrictions on restricted stock, and we will not be entitled to any additional tax deduction. Director Compensation We compensate the directors with cash compensation and awards of stock. We do not have a written policy regarding director compensation. Our Compensation Committee meets at least annually to review, and determine and approve, as appropriate, director compensation for the next fiscal year, including cash and equity compensation, reimbursement for travel and related expenses, and similar matters. The Compensation Committee may also meet during the year, as appropriate, to discuss compensation matters such as grants of stock to our directors in connection with their services as chairs of Board of Directors committees, and related matters. If a director is also an employee of our Company, such director is not paid separate compensation for services rendered as a director.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves all related party transactions that management has determined are required to be disclosed in the audited financial statements. In the last two fiscal years, there have been no transactions in which the Company was or is to be a party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest except as set forth below. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company leased portions of its corporate headquarters to Puppy Toes, Inc., a company owned by the Chief Executive Officer and his wife, and to Centurion Counsel, Inc., which is owned by Puppy Toes, Inc. Rent billed to these entities by the Company totaled $10,752 in both years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, we received full reimbursement for certain payroll services provided by our employees to Centurion Counsel, Inc. and Puppy Toes, Inc. during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which totaled approximately $154,895 and $143,984, respectively. These reimbursements were at cost and were not marked up or discounted. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a reimbursement receivable balance of approximately $52,879 and $12,967, which were paid in full during January 2024 and January 2023, respectively.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that it generally must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm before the firm is engaged to perform the services. The Audit Committee reviews and approves these fees in advance, taking into consideration the quality and timing of service and the competitiveness of the fees charged. The Audit Committee believes that audit independence has not been impaired as a result of the non-audit services provided, if any. 26 PART IV ITEM 15.
