holders may cause us to incur substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and have an adverse effect on our business.

Our stockholders may from time to time engage in proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals or otherwise attempt to affect changes or acquire control over the Company. For example, on March 13, 2024, a stockholder announced that it intended to file a preliminary proxy statement and accompanying WHITE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be used to solicit votes for the election of director nominees at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.  On May 9, 2024, we entered into a cooperation agreement with this stockholder and related entities pursuant to which we agreed to, among other things, increase the size of the Board of Directors from six directors to seven directors and appoint a new director as a Class III director to the Board of Directors, with an initial term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Activist stockholder activities could adversely affect our business because responding to proxy contests and reacting to other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of management and our employees. For example, we have or in the future may retain the services of various professionals to advise us on activist stockholder matters, including legal, financial, strategic and communication advisors, the costs of which may negatively impact our future financial results. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy or leadership created as a consequence of activist stockholders’ initiatives may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, business partners, and employees, and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility or stagnation.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for distributions to our stockholders. 

Our properties are subject to various local, state and federal regulatory requirements, including those addressing zoning, environmental and land use, access for disabled persons, and air and water quality. These laws and regulations may impose restrictions on the manner in which our properties may be used or business may be operated, and compliance with these standards may require us to make unexpected expenditures, some of which could be substantial. Additionally, we could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance, and any enforcement actions could reduce the value of a property. Any material expenditures, penalties, or decrease in property value would adversely affect our operating income
