Merger Agreement On July 23, 2025, City Office REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MCME Carell Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), and MCME Carell Merger Sub, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and, collectively with Parent, “MCME Carell”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Entity”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At the time that the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), other than certain excluded shares owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, will be converted automatically into the right to receive $7.00 per share in cash, without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Agreement provides that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, any outstanding Company restricted stock will become fully vested and free of restrictions and will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Immediately prior to the closing of the merger, the Company intends to redeem, each share of the Company’s 6.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for an amount in cash equal to $25.00 per share
