Gyrodyne, LLC

Current report

Pursuant to the Star Agreement, Star Equity agreed to irrevocably withdraw its June 4, 2025 notice of intent to nominate two candidates for election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Annual Meeting. The Star Agreement obligates Star Equity to vote all Gyrodyne shares it owns in accordance with the Board’s recommendations including on the election of directors prior to the Termination Date (as defined below), except that Star Equity will be permitted to vote (i) in its discretion on any proposal regarding certain extraordinary transactions, and (ii) in accordance with the recommendation of Institutional Shareholder Services to the extent the recommendation differs from the Board’s recommendation on any matter presented to the shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders following the Annual Meeting. Star Equity’s obligations will continue until December 31, 2026, or December 31, 2027 if the Board re-nominates both Nader G.M. Salour and Jan H. Loeb for election at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting and both Messrs. Salour and Loeb agree to such re-nomination (the “Termination Date”).

Current report

The Star Agreement also prevents Star Equity until the Termination Date from, among other things, (i) nominating any person for election or submitting any shareholder proposal for consideration at any meeting of shareholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected, (ii) soliciting proxies or (iii) taking actions to change or influence the Board, management or the direction of certain Company matters. Until the Termination Date, the Company and Star Equity have also agreed not to disparage each other.

Current report

Under the Star Agreement, the Company agreed to nominate only one Board member at the 2025 Annual Meeting, Richard Smith, for election for an additional three-year term and to reduce the size of the board from, five to four directors. If any of Jan H. Loeb, Nader G.M. Salour, Richard B. Smith or Ronald J. Macklin (each, a “Continuing Director”) resigns or ceases to be a director due to death or disability, then the Board and Star Equity will engage in good faith discussions to identify a mutually acceptable independent (as defined under Nasdaq listing rules) replacement director (the “Replacement Director”), and if they cannot agree the size of the Board will be reduced to three directors. In such event, if a remaining Continuing Director subsequently resigns or ceases to be a director due to death or disability, then the Board may not make an additional appointment until the Board and Star Equity identify a mutually acceptable Replacement Director.
