Current report
Our strategic review process will be costly and time-consuming and may not result in our identification or completion of a strategic transaction, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and our business.
Current report
In January 2026, in connection with our entry into a cooperation agreement with a stockholder, we announced a formal strategic review process. The strategic review process may be costly and time-consuming, and we may incur significant legal, accounting and advisory fees and other expenses, some of which may be incurred regardless of whether we successfully enter into a transaction. Any such expenses could affect the value to our stockholders in connection with any transaction or, in the absence of such a transaction, will decrease the remaining cash available for use in our business. The attention of management and our Board of Directors could also be diverted from our core business operations as a result of this strategic review process.
Current report
No decision has been made at this time by our Board of Directors as to whether to engage in any particular transaction. Any decision by our Board of Directors will depend on numerous factors, which may include our projected financial performance, the interest of potential partners or acquirers in a potential strategic transaction, the value potential partners or acquirers attribute to our business, the likelihood that any such transaction could be successfully completed, potential synergies that could be achieved from any strategic transaction, available alternative options, market conditions and industry trends. There can be no assurance that our Board of Directors will identify an acceptable strategic partner or acquirer or authorize the pursuit of any strategic alternative. Moreover, there can be no assurance as to the terms or the timing of any potential transaction, or whether any transaction may ultimately occur. Any potential transaction would depend on a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control. Even if we enter into a definitive agreement, we may not be successful in completing a transaction or, if we complete such a transaction, it may not enhance stockholder value or deliver expected benefits. Our inability to identify and complete an acceptable strategic transaction or any decision by our Board of Directors to cease the strategic review process could result in increased volatility of our stock and have an adverse effect on our business.
Current report
We have made equity and member loan investments in the Arch Street Joint Venture which may not be recoverable.
Current report
The non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture were scheduled to mature on November 27, 2025, subject to one remaining one-year borrower option to extend the maturity until November 27, 2026. The Arch Street Joint Venture exercised the extension option during September 2025. However, in order to extend the debt, the Arch Street Joint Venture is required to make an approximately $16.0 million prepayment of loan principal outstanding to satisfy the 60% loan-to-value extension condition. Due to capital constraints of our joint venture partner, the joint venture has been unable to make this prepayment. The loan was temporarily extended until February 26, 2026 and the joint venture remains in discussions with the lenders about next steps which may include an additional short-term extension and restructuring of the debt with a lender excess cash flow sweep and the requirement to sell one or more properties and utilize the net proceeds to prepay principal outstanding under the debt. We cannot provide any assurance that the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the loan-to-value condition or otherwise extend or refinance this debt obligation or that the lenders will not seek to enforce their remedies due to the existing payment default. Due to the uncertainties with regard to recovery of our Arch Street Joint Venture investments, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss on our investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture thereby reducing the carrying value of our investment to zero, and recorded a loan loss reserve of $5.9 million against our $6.6 million member loan to the Arch Street Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2025. Beginning in 2026, we will record management fees from the Arch Street Joint Venture and interest income on the member loan on a cash basis rather than accrual basis.

Previous report
Following the Arch Street Joint Venture’s exercise of the first extension option and satisfaction of the related conditions in November 2024, the non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture of $131.6 million as of December 31, 2024 are scheduled to mature on November 27, 2025, and the Arch Street Joint Venture has one remaining one-year option to extend the maturity until November 27, 2026. Our proportionate share of the mortgage notes was $26.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The extension option is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including satisfaction of certain financial and operating covenants. The Arch Street Joint Venture may be unable to satisfy the extension conditions, and we cannot provide any assurance the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the extension conditions or otherwise extend or refinance the mortgage notes. If the Arch Street Joint Venture is unable to extend or refinance the mortgage notes, our investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture could be materially adversely affected.
Previous report
We could be exposed to losses on loans we have made to buyers of the properties we have sold.
Previous report
As part of our asset disposition activity, we have provided seller financing to certain buyers and may continue to do so. To date, these loans have been structured as first mortgage loans with an unsecured recourse guaranty from the buyer principal(s). The properties sold and that are collateral for the loans are currently vacant and not income producing, and therefore, payment of debt service is dependent upon the existence of independent assets or income of the buyer and the buyer principal(s), until the properties have been leased up and are generating income, or until the loan can be refinanced. These loans are subject to risk of default and delinquencies by buyers in paying debt service and foreclosure, and the risks of loss are greater than similar risks associated with mortgage loans made on income producing properties. Foreclosure of a mortgage loan and/or enforcing the recourse guaranty can be an expensive and lengthy process, and there can be no assurance we would be able to recover our investment and expected returns on the loans. The loans are subject to risks of a buyer’s inability to lease up the property or obtain permanent financing to repay the loan. In the event of any default under our loans, we bear the risk of loss of principal and non-payment of interest and fees to the extent of any deficiency between the amounts we recover from the mortgaged collateral and the recourse guaranty, and the principal amount and unpaid interest of the loan. To the extent we suffer such losses with respect to these loans, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increased scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, tenants, employees, and others regarding our sustainability, social, and governance practices (“sustainability”) and reporting could cause us to incur additional costs, devote additional resources and expose us to additional risks.
Previous report
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny related to their sustainability practices and reporting. Investors, tenants, employees, and other stakeholders have begun to focus increasingly on sustainability practices and to place increasing importance on the implications and social costs of their investments, business decisions and consumer choices. Many investors, particularly institutional investors, may use sustainability practices and scores to benchmark companies against their peers and as a basis for making investment or voting decisions. Given this increased focus and demand as well as the potential for future legal or regulatory requirements, public reporting regarding sustainability practices is becoming more broadly expected. If our sustainability practices and reporting do not meet investor, tenant, or employee expectations, which continue to evolve, our reputation and investor interest and tenant and employee retention may be negatively impacted. Any disclosure we make may include our policies and practices on a variety of sustainability matters, including corporate governance, environmental compliance, employee health and safety practices, human capital management and workforce inclusion and diversity. It is possible that investors and other stakeholders may not be satisfied with our sustainability reporting, our sustainability practices or the speed or comprehensiveness with which we adopt and implement them. In addition, the criteria by which we are benchmarked against our peers and scored may change. We could also incur additional costs and devote additional resources to monitoring, reporting and implementing various sustainability practices. Our failure, or perceived failure, to meet any goals and objectives we may set in any sustainability disclosure or the expectations of our various stakeholders could negatively impact our reputation, investor interest and tenant and employee retention, as well as our cost of or access to capital.

Previous wording
Weak economic conditions generally, sustained uncertainty about global economic conditions, a tightening of credit markets, business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our tenants have negatively impacted commercial real estate fundamentals and may continue to do so, which has resulted and may continue to result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio. Additionally, these factors and conditions have had and may continue to have an impact on our lenders or tenants, which could cause them to reduce their business with us or fail to meet their obligations to us. We are subject to the risk of rising interest rates, including that our borrowing costs may increase and we may be unable to extend or refinance our debt obligations on favorable terms or at all. We are also subject to the risk of inflation, including that our operating costs, such as insurance premiums, utilities, real estate taxes and capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs, may rise. We also may be unable to offset any increases in our borrowing costs or operating costs by increases in our rental revenues which are generally fixed. No assurances can be given regarding such macroeconomic factors or conditions, and our ability to lease our properties and increase or maintain rental rates or the profitability of our properties may be negatively impacted, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording
Changes in workplace practices and office space utilization, including remote and hybrid work arrangements, have negatively impacted our company and these factors may continue and worsen. For example, the increased adoption of and familiarity with remote and hybrid work practices has resulted in decreased demand for and utilization of office space. These trends have impacted our leasing efforts as certain of our tenants have elected to not renew their leases, or to renew them for less space than they were occupying, resulting in increases in vacancy rates at our properties and decreases in rental income. Remote and hybrid work practices may continue to persist, which may cause the trends impacting our leasing efforts to continue or even accelerate. Tenants’ evolving preferences regarding office space configuration either in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or for other reasons, may impact their space requirements and also has required and may continue to require us to spend increased amounts for tenant improvements. If substantial office space reconfiguration is required, a tenant may explore other office space and find it more advantageous to relocate than to renew its lease and renovate the existing space. Less successful leasing efforts, lower rents and increased leasing costs have caused our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects to be materially adversely impacted, and may continue to do so.

Leases representing approximately 13.5% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire in 2025 and we could experience difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing vacant space, which will increase our costs to operate and maintain such properties without receiving income.
Current wording
Leases representing approximately 10.2% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire in 2026 and we could experience difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing vacant space, which will increase our costs to operate and maintain such properties without receiving income.
Previous wording
We derive nearly all of our net income from rent received from our tenants, and our profitability is significantly dependent upon our ability to minimize vacancies in our properties and ensure our tenants timely pay rent at an attractive rate. If a tenant experiences a downturn in its business or other types of financial distress, it may be unable to make timely rental payments. If lease defaults occur, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord. Leases representing approximately 13.5% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire in 2025, and as of December 31, 2024, our portfolio, including our proportionate share of properties owned by the Arch Street Joint Venture, had a weighted average lease term of 5.2 years, and had 11 vacant operating properties, with an aggregate 1.7 million square feet, including six properties, with an aggregate of 0.6 million square feet, that have remained vacant for over one year. If our tenants decide not to renew their leases, terminate their leases early or default on their leases, we will experience a loss in the associated rental revenue and will incur property operating costs that will no longer be reimbursed by the vacating tenant. When tenant leases expire, we confirm the condition of the premises and will seek to enforce the performance of any outstanding tenant obligations, such as repair and maintenance and lease surrender obligations. These efforts can lead to disputes with the tenants, and we cannot provide any assurance we will be successful in enforcing the tenant’s obligations. Accordingly, we may incur enforcement and property operating and capital costs in connection with expired leases that may not be recoverable. Tenant lease expirations, delays in re-leasing vacant space and tenant defaults could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends to stockholders.

Previous wording
During the year ended December 31, 2024, most of our rental revenue was from our properties leased to single tenants. The value of our single tenant properties is materially dependent on the performance of those tenants under their respective leases. These tenants face competition within their industries and other factors that could reduce their ability to pay us rent. Lease payment defaults by such tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions that we pay to our stockholders. A default by a single or major tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or premature termination of a lease to such a tenant or such tenant’s election not to extend a lease upon its expiration could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

We believe that recent government budgetary and spending priorities and enhancements in technology have resulted in a decrease in government office use for employees. Furthermore, over the past several years, government tenants have reduced their space utilization per employee and consolidated government tenants into existing government owned properties. Persistent remote and hybrid work practices have also reduced space utilization at many of our government properties. These factors have reduced the demand for government leased space, and may continue to do so. The Trump Administration’s initiative to dramatically cut government spending introduces additional uncertainty for our portfolio of properties leased to the United States Government. The Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) has begun to look at ways to increase government office utilization and shrink the federal government’s real estate portfolio. This could lead to the General Services Administration (“GSA”) exercising termination options under or otherwise seeking to terminate our leases with the United States Government or make it more likely the United States Government terminates the applicable lease at lease expiration. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 94,000 of our occupied square feet leased to the GSA were within periods during which the tenant has the right to terminate their space without a termination fee, or “non-firm terms.” The GSA recently announced a suspension of the execution of substantially all GSA funded obligations, including new leases and lease amendments. This action by the GSA has resulted in delays of the GSA authorizing us to proceed with landlord work at our property in Lincoln, Nebraska and that is a condition to lease commencement of our lease with the United States Government at this property, as well as delays in lease negotiations at certain other properties leased to the United States Government. We do not know how long the suspension will continue and cannot provide any assurance as to how ongoing developments with respect to DOGE and the Trump Administration’s efforts to reduce government spending may impact our portfolio of properties leased to the United States Government. Efforts to manage space utilization rates and reduce government spending may result in the government tenants exercising early termination rights under our leases, vacating our properties upon expiration of our leases in order to relocate, or renewing their leases for less space than they currently occupy. Also, our government tenants’ desire to reconfigure leased office space to manage utilization per employee may require us to spend significant amounts for tenant improvements, and tenant relocations are often more prevalent in those circumstances. Compared to our historical experience with government tenants, the government tenants’ leasing decisions and strategies may be less predictable.

We are invested in the Arch Street Joint Venture where we own a 20% minority, non-controlling interest and our partner owns the remaining 80% interest. Our partner in the Arch Street Joint Venture did not have access to sufficient liquidity to contribute its share of capital call obligations that have recently arisen, and this issue may continue to the extent additional partner capital is required in the future. During November 2024, our joint venture partner was unable to contribute its proportionate share of the capital required to pay down $3.4 million of principal on the Arch Street Joint Venture non-recourse mortgage notes to satisfy the 60% loan-to-value condition to extend the maturity date of such debt. As a result, we made a member loan to the Arch Street Joint Venture in the amount of $1.4 million. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal associated with the Arch Street Joint Venture mortgage notes was $131.6 million, and our proportionate share was $26.3 million. During February 2025, we made an additional member loan of $8.3 million when our partner was unable to contribute its share of leasing costs related to a lease extension that was completed for one of the properties in the Arch Street Joint Venture portfolio. As part of the terms of the recent extension of the Arch Street Joint Venture mortgage notes, the mortgage lender is expected to re-appraise the property where the lease was extended in February 2025, and we are also committed to make an additional member loan as and if needed to repay principal on the mortgage notes to continue to satisfy the 60% loan-to-value extension condition. Our member loan to the Arch Street Joint Venture, which had $9.2 million receivable as of March 5, 2025, earns interest at 15% per annum and is non-recourse and unsecured, and structurally subordinate to the Arch Street Joint Venture mortgage notes. Interest and principal are payable monthly solely out of the excess cash from the joint venture after payment of property operating expenses, interest and principal on the Arch Street mortgage notes and other joint venture expenses and excess proceeds from the sale of any of the joint venture properties. Our partner’s failure to meet capital call obligations exposes us to certain risks, including:

Due to the capital constraints of our joint venture partner, the Arch Street Joint Venture has been unable to make an approximately $16.0 million principal prepayment on the Arch Street Joint Venture Mortgage Debt to satisfy the 60% loan-to-value condition to extend the maturity date until November 27, 2026. The Arch Street Joint Venture Mortgage Debt was temporarily extended until February 26, 2026 and the joint venture remains in discussions with the lenders about next steps which may include an additional short-term extension and restructuring of the debt. We cannot provide any assurance that the Arch Street Joint Venture will be able to satisfy the loan-to-value condition or otherwise extend or refinance this debt obligation or that the lenders will not seek to enforce their remedies due to the existing payment default. Because of the subordinate position of our investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, our investment, including our member loan, may not be recoverable. Due to the uncertainties with regard to recovery of our Arch Street Joint Venture investments, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss on our investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture, thereby reducing the carrying value of our investment to zero, and recorded a loan loss reserve of $5.9 million against our $6.6 million member loan to the Arch Street Joint Venture during the year ended December 31, 2025. Beginning in 2026, we will record management fees from the Arch Street Joint Venture and interest income on the member loan on a cash basis rather than accrual basis.

Our ability to determine the strategy with respect to properties we own through the Arch Street Joint Venture is materially limited compared to acquisitions we make directly, including with respect to leasing, disposition and joint venture opportunities (including if such actions are necessary to maintain compliance with our debt commitments).

As part of our investment strategy, we intend to shift our portfolio concentration over time away from traditional office properties, towards more dedicated use assets that have an office component. We believe that by doing so we will increase that value of our portfolio, as it is our experience that dedicated use assets have greater tenant utilization and higher renewal probability. As of December 31, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of 75.0% and 68.2% traditional office properties, calculated based on rentable square feet and annualized base rent, respectively. In order to increase the percentage of dedicated use assets in our portfolio, we will need to acquire additional dedicated use assets and/or dispose of traditional office properties. Our ability to acquire new properties and dispose of existing properties in our portfolio is dependent upon competitive and market conditions, which may not be favorable to us at any given time, as well as other factors outside of our control. We may not be successful in executing our strategy of shifting our portfolio concentration over time towards more dedicated use assets, and whether or not we are successful in executing such strategy, we may not achieve our objective of increasing the value of our portfolio.

We compete with a number of other owners and operators of office properties to renew leases with our existing tenants and to attract new tenants. If our properties are not as attractive to existing or new tenants as properties owned by our competitors due to the age of the buildings, physical condition, lack of amenities or other similar factors, we could lose tenants, it could take longer to re-lease our properties and we could suffer lower rental rates. To the extent that we are able to renew leases that are scheduled to expire in the short-term or re-let such space to new tenants, heightened competition may require us to give rent concessions or provide tenant improvements to a greater extent than we otherwise would have.

Certain of our leases permit our tenants to terminate their leases as to all or a portion of their leased premises prior to their stated lease expiration dates under certain circumstances, such as providing notice by a certain date and, in most cases, paying a termination fee. As of December 31, 2024, 11.2% of our occupied square footage was subject to early termination provisions. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one tenant exercised an early termination option which will result in the partial termination of approximately 30,000 square feet under an approximately 127,000 square foot lease in the year ending December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2023, one tenant exercised an early termination option, which resulted in the partial termination of approximately 30,000 square feet under an approximately 200,000 square foot lease in the year ended December 31, 2023. To the extent that our tenants exercise early termination rights, our cash flow and earnings will be adversely affected, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate an equivalent amount of net effective rent by leasing the vacated space to new third-party tenants. If our tenants elect to terminate their leases early, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
Certain of our leases permit our tenants to terminate their leases as to all or a portion of their leased premises prior to their stated lease expiration dates under certain circumstances, such as providing notice by a certain date and, in most cases, paying a termination fee. As of December 31, 2025, 12.3% of our occupied square footage was subject to early termination provisions. There were no tenant-exercised early lease termination options during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one tenant exercised an early termination option which resulted in the partial termination of approximately 30,000 square feet under an approximately 127,000 square foot lease effective in May 2025. We and the tenant agreed on an early termination of the remaining 97,000 square feet leased to this tenant as part of a simultaneous sale of the property in October 2025. To the extent that our tenants exercise early termination rights, our cash flow and earnings will be adversely affected, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate an equivalent amount of net effective rent by leasing the vacated space to new third-party tenants. If our tenants elect to terminate their leases early, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $492.0 million of total outstanding consolidated indebtedness. In addition, in connection with executing our business strategies going forward, we expect to invest in our current portfolio and, as market conditions permit, intend to acquire additional properties and make strategic investments, and we may elect to finance these endeavors by incurring additional indebtedness. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for us, including:

In addition, in connection with executing our business strategies going forward, we expect to invest in our current portfolio and, as market conditions permit, intend to acquire additional properties and make strategic investments, and we may elect to finance these endeavors by incurring additional indebtedness. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for us, including:
Previous wording
Our ability to arrange additional financing will depend on, among other factors, our financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond our control. If we are able to obtain additional financing, such financing could further raise our borrowing costs and adversely impact our ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
Our ability to arrange additional financing will depend on, among other factors, the lender’s view of the quality of our portfolio, including tenant credit quality and weighted average lease term, our financial position and performance, as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors beyond our control. If we are able to obtain additional financing, such financing could further raise our borrowing costs and adversely impact our ability to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have existing debt and refinancing risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the risk that we will be unable to extend or refinance some or all of our debt.
Current wording
We have existing debt and refinancing risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the risk that we will be unable to extend or refinance some or all of our debt, or that the lenders will not seek to enforce their remedies due to the existing payment default under the Arch Street Joint Venture mortgage notes.
Previous wording
We have both fixed and variable rate indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including borrowings under our Revolving Facility. Our Revolving Facility under which we had $119.0 million borrowed as of December 31, 2024 is scheduled to mature in May 2026, and our $355.0 million CMBS Loan is scheduled to mature in February 2027. We are dependent upon the Revolving Facility, which is a fully recourse borrowing facility guaranteed in full by us, for liquidity to execute our business strategies, and our CMBS Loan provides cross-collateralized financing for a total of 19 properties in our portfolio, and therefore the lender will have recourse to any and all of the assets that secure the debt in the event we default. We cannot provide assurance we will be able to extend, refinance or repay these debt obligations at maturity. Our ability to extend or refinance debt will be affected by our financial condition and various other factors existing at the relevant time, including factors beyond our control, such as capital and credit market conditions, the state of the national and regional economies, local real estate conditions and the equity in and value of the related collateral. We may be required to make significant principal repayments to extend or refinance our debt obligations.
Current wording
We have both fixed and variable rate indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including borrowings under our New Revolving Facility. As described in more detail in the section in this report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Agreements”, in February 2026, we entered into a credit agreement for the New Revolving Facility and the Original Revolving Facility was terminated and the indebtedness thereunder discharged and paid in full with borrowings under the New Revolving Facility. Our New Revolving Facility is scheduled to mature in February 2028 and we have options to extend such maturity date until February 2029 if we satisfy certain conditions. Additionally, as described in more detail in the section of this report entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources - CMBS Loan”, our CMBS loan is now scheduled to mature in February 2029 and we have options to further extend such maturity date an additional 18 months until August 2030 if we satisfy certain conditions. We are dependent upon the New Revolving Facility, which is a fully recourse borrowing facility secured by our ownership interest in 28 of our properties and related collateral and guaranteed in full by us, for liquidity to execute our business strategies, and our CMBS Loan provides cross-collateralized financing for a total of 19 properties in our portfolio, and therefore the lender will have recourse to any and all of the assets that secure the debt in the event we default. We cannot provide assurance we will be able to extend, refinance or repay these debt obligations at maturity.

We have incurred debt pursuant to the Revolving Facility and the CMBS Loan. The credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility and the CMBS Loan each contain various financial and other covenants, including, with respect to the Revolving Facility, various financial covenants and other covenants restricting, subject to certain exceptions, liens, investments, mergers, asset sales, and the payment of certain dividends and share repurchases. The financial covenants under the Revolving Facility are discussed in the section in this report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Credit Agreements – Revolving Facility Covenants”. The CMBS Loan includes a minimum debt yield test of 8.0%. Failure to satisfy this test, although not an event of default under the indebtedness, could cause cash flows from the 19 properties financed, after debt service, and certain property operating expenses and loan reserves, to be diverted to the lender, as additional collateral until the minimum debt yield test has been satisfied. Under the CMBS Loan agreement, we are permitted to prepay outstanding principal under the indebtedness to satisfy the debt yield test. As of September 30, 2024 (most recent reporting period available and confirmed with lender) the minimum debt yield was satisfied. Our ability to continue to meet the debt yield test will be dependent upon whether leases that are scheduled to expire in the collateral pool are extended and if they do not the pace at which we re-lease the properties following lease expiration. We cannot provide any assurance that we will continue to satisfy the minimum debt yield test under the CMBS Loan through maturity of the indebtedness in February 2027, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

The financial covenants under the New Revolving Facility are discussed in the section in this report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Credit Agreements – Revolving Facility Covenants”. In addition, pursuant to the February 2026 Loan Modification Agreement described herein, the CMBS Loan contains a cash sweep arrangement, whereby each month until maturity, the lender will sweep all monthly excess cash flows from the 19 properties, after payment of interest and property operating expenses. During the initial extension period, the lender will apply one-half of such excess funds to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the CMBS Loan, and the other half to fund the all-purpose reserve.

The financial and other covenants under our existing indebtedness, as well as any additional restrictions to which we may become subject in connection with additional financings or refinancings, could restrict our ability to pursue business initiatives, effect certain transactions or make other changes to our business that may otherwise be beneficial to us, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, violations of these covenants could cause declarations of default under, and acceleration of, any related indebtedness, which would result in material adverse consequences to our financial condition. The Revolving Facility contains cross-default provisions that give the lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default resulting in (or permitting the) acceleration of other debt under other loans in excess of certain amounts. In the event of a default, we may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources, which may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will be required to make significant capital investments in our existing portfolio, including tenant improvement allowances to attract and retain tenants, as well as normal building improvements to replace obsolete building components. As market conditions permit, we intend to acquire new properties which will similarly require us to make capital investments. We do not expect our cash flows from operations alone to be sufficient to fund our future capital investments and, therefore, we will be dependent upon our ability to access third-party sources of capital, including the Revolving Facility and other sources of debt and equity capital. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including general market conditions, the market’s view of the quality of our assets, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels and our current and expected future earnings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the capital necessary to fund the investments we will be required to make in our existing portfolio or to acquire new properties on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient level of third-party financing to fund our capital needs, our ability to achieve our business strategies will be materially adversely affected.

The real property taxes on our properties may increase as property tax rates change and as those properties are assessed or reassessed by tax authorities. While the majority of our leases are under a net lease structure, some or all of such property taxes may not be collectible from our tenants, and for our vacant properties, we are unable to recover property taxes from any tenants. In such event, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, trading price of our common stock and our ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders could be adversely affected, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to quickly sell or exchange any of our properties in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. No assurances can be given that we will recognize full value, at a price and at terms that are acceptable to us, for any property that we determine to sell. Our ability to successfully execute on our asset disposition and capital recycling sale program is dependent on market conditions, and such conditions have been and may continue to be unfavorable for commercial real estate generally and office assets in particular, as well as for buyer financing of these assets. In general, when we sell properties that are vacant or soon to be vacant, the valuation will be discounted if the new owner is required to make capital improvements and to reflect that the new owner will bear carrying costs until the property has been leased up and take the risk that the property may not be leased up on a timely basis, favorable terms or at all. As part of our asset disposition activities, we have sought and may continue to seek to sell properties to buyers who intend to re-develop the subject property. While these sale transactions can result in higher sale valuations, they also normally require us as seller to bear a portion of the buyer’s redevelopment risk through longer due diligence periods during which we remain responsible for carrying costs of the property and the buyer may terminate the transaction. Our inability to respond rapidly to changes in the performance of our investments could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be subject to liabilities resulting from the presence of hazardous substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, under or emanating from such property, including investigation and cleanup costs, natural resource damages, third-party liability for cleanup costs, personal injury or property damage and costs or losses arising from property use restrictions. In particular, some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain of our properties are on, adjacent to or near sites upon which others, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that have released or may have released petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Cleanup liabilities are often imposed without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. The presence of hazardous substances also may result in use restrictions on impacted properties or result in liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages it incurs to address contamination. We also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous substances or waste disposal or treatment facilities if we arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at such facilities, whether or not we own such facilities. Moreover, buildings and other improvements on our properties may contain asbestos-containing material or other hazardous building materials or could have indoor air quality concerns (e.g., from airborne contaminants such as mold), which may subject us to costs, damages and other liabilities including abatement cleanup, personal injury, and property damage liabilities. The foregoing could adversely affect occupancy and our ability to develop, sell or borrow against any affected property and could require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are invested in the Arch Street Joint Venture where we own a 20% minority, non-controlling interest and our partner owns the remaining 80% interest. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our equity investment in the Arch Street Joint Venture before the impairment loss described below was $10.8 million and we had member loans outstanding to the Arch Street Joint Venture in the principal amount of $6.6 million. These member loans were made to fund certain capital requirements of the joint venture when our partner in the Arch Street Joint Venture did not have access to sufficient liquidity to contribute its share of capital call obligations, including with respect to a principal paydown the Arch Street Joint Venture was required to make during November 2024 to extend the maturity date of the non-recourse mortgage notes and leasing costs the Arch Street Joint Venture was required to fund in February 2025 to extend the lease at one of the joint venture properties. Our partner in the Arch Street Joint Venture may continue to be unable to contribute its share of capital requirements of the Arch Street Joint Venture.
