 to maintain its level of distributions on our Preferred Stock or pay dividends on our Common Stock.  A subsidiary of the Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in connection with injuries sustained by a third-party contractor at a property previously owned by such subsidiary. Such subsidiary has reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit with the plaintiff, pursuant to which such subsidiary’s share of the settlement payment is expected to be approximately $700,000. The Company anticipates that such payment will be made directly from the Company’s insurance carrier, which will be responsible for the entire payment. Accordingly, the Company does not expect this lawsuit to have any adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain the level of distributions on the Company’s Preferred Stock or pay dividends on our Common Stock.  SBA Related—If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from the Company. As of June 30, 2025, the Company serviced an aggregate of $207.2 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from the Company in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the Company does not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on our Preferred Stock or pay dividends on our Common Stock. 

Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties, and the Company is not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy
