 On August 24, 2024, UBS filed a notice of appeal for that dismissal order, which has not yet been briefed. The remaining respondents’ motions to dismiss, including Mr. Dondero’s, remain pending. The UBS Lawsuit does not include claims related to our business or our assets. While neither our Sponsor nor our Adviser are parties to the UBS Lawsuit, these proceedings could expose our Sponsor, our Adviser, our affiliates, our management and/or us to negative publicity, which might adversely affect our reputation and/or investor confidence in us, and/or future debt or equity capital raising activities. In addition, the UBS Lawsuit may be both time consuming and disruptive to our operations and cause significant diversion of management attention and resources which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We may compete with other entities affiliated with our Adviser and our Sponsor for investments.

Neither our Adviser nor our Sponsor and their affiliates are prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any other business or from possessing interests in any other business ventures that compete with ours. Our Adviser, our Sponsor and their affiliates may provide financing to similarly situated investments. Our Adviser and our Sponsor may face conflicts of interest when evaluating investment opportunities for us, and these conflicts of interest may have a negative impact on our ability to make attractive investments.

Our Adviser, its affiliates and their respective affiliates, officers and employees face competing demands relating to their time, and this may cause our operating results to suffer. 

Our Adviser, its affiliates and their respective affiliates, officers and employees are key personnel, general partners, sponsors, managers, owners and advisors of other investment programs, including affiliate-sponsored investment products and investment programs focused on real estate, some of which have investment objectives and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and may have other business interests as well. Because these persons have competing demands on their time and resources, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. If this occurs, the returns on our investments may suffer.

Our Adviser and its affiliates will face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Adviser’s compensation arrangements with us, including compensation which may be required to be paid to our Adviser if the Advisory Agreement is terminated, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interest of our shareholders. 

Under the Advisory Agreement, our Adviser or its affiliates are entitled to fees based on our “Managed Assets
