For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company retired a total of 294,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Since 2024, the Company retired a total of 3,064,778 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and a total of 592,372 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which carried an aggregate liquidation value of $91.4 million, for approximately $53.4 million, including fees and expenses. Part of these retirements were funded by asset sales, the April 2025 Bridge Loan and the August 2025 Credit Facility, and part related to contributions from WHLR. The shares retired since 2024 will reduce future annual dividend payments by $6.1 million. The Company intends to continue repurchasing its Preferred Stock as both series are currently trading at a discount to their liquidation value, presenting a strategic opportunity to buy back shares at favorable prices. By reducing the number of shares eligible for dividend payments, the Company believes it may partially offset the net operating income lost from the recent sales of certain properties as it seeks to enhance its financial stability, strengthen its balance sheet, optimize its capital allocation, and maximize shareholder value.
