TABLE OF CONTENTS 2024 Say-on-Pay Vote Results At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, we provided stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory, non-binding vote on the compensation of our NEOs for 2023, which consisted solely of equity awards in the form of LTIP Units made in January 2024 to our NEOs for 2023.

We initiated stockholder engagement efforts in early 2024 and renewed those efforts following our Internalization at the end of 2024 into early 2025. We reached out to our top 12 stockholders, who together represented approximately 10% of our stockholder base as of December 31, 2024. The purpose of our outreach effort was
