To the Stockholders of American Strategic Investment Co.:

I am pleased to invite you to the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, including any postponement or adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), of American Strategic Investment Co., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), which will be held at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 29, 2024. The Annual Meeting will be a “virtual meeting” of stockholders which will be conducted exclusively online via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting and vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via the live webcast by visitingwww.meetnow.global/MYSJQWY.

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting online, you will need the control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you requested paper copies, in the instructions printed on your proxy card. Instructions are also described in the accompanying proxy statement. At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon (1) the election of one person to serve on our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) and until his successor is duly elected and qualifies, (2) the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and (3) the transaction of such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 5, 2024 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only record holders of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.

For further information regarding the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, please read the accompanying proxy statement. The Company is relying on rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission that allow the Company to furnish proxy materials to you via the Internet.

You can access proxy materials atwww.envisionreports.com/NYC. You also may authorize your proxy via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on that website. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Regardless of whether you own a few or many shares and whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person via webcast or not, it is important that your shares be voted on matters that come before the Annual Meeting.

By Order of the Board of Directors,
