The persons identified on the cover page hereto (collectively, the "Hartman Group") on June 3, 2025 filed a definitive proxy statement and an accompanying BLUE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to be used to solicit votes for, among other matters, (i) the election of directors that the Hartman Group has nominated for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (the "Company") and (ii) the rejection of the Company's alternate strategy proposal, and in favor of liquidating the Company's assets in an orderly manner in accordance with the terms of its articles of incorporation and returning capital to stockholders.

On October 10, 2025, the Hartman Group distributed the following letter to shareholders:

**Setting the Record Straight on Silver Star's Contradictory Actions**

October 10, 2025

Dear Shareholders,

**Contradiction: Audits vs. Legal Maneuvers**

Silver Star insists they cannot hold the Annual Meeting until audited financial statements are completed. **If completing the audit is truly the priority, why are they spending your money on court injunctions instead of completing that audit?**

"Silver Star has been transparent about the reasons for the delay in holding its Annual Meeting… inclusion of audited financial statements is required under Exchange Act Rule 14a-3(b) and the cause of any postponement." *([Press Release 10/9/25](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1446687/000144668725000170/defa14a-october 92025xshare.htm))*

**What Silver Star Is Actually Doing:**

They are asking a judge to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Void ALL blue proxy votes** - erasing your vote entirely

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Postpone the election until December 31, 2025** - another delay

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Prohibit us from "any proxy solicitation"** – silencing communication with you

They're using your money on legal maneuvers designed to either eliminate your vote or delay the meeting by months.

**The Timeline Tells the Truth**

Silver Star's has known the entire time that they needed a completed financial audit in order to solicit votes and received a [letter from the SEC](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1446687/999999999725002753/filename1.pdf) on June 23, 2025 informing them of this again. Now they have filed a lawsuit seeking to void your votes and silence shareholders. **Their priorities are clear.**

We remain focused on what matters:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Completing the long-delayed shareholder vote

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Respecting and counting every BLUE vote cast

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Communicating transparently with shareholders

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Returning value to those who have waited years for their investment

If you have voted the BLUE card, thank you. Your vote stands and should be counted.

If you have not yet voted or if you voted the WHITE card, you can still vote the BLUE card. **Your most recent vote is the one that counts.**

Don't let legal maneuvers and delays silence your voice. Vote the BLUE card today.

See the attached proxy letter for more details. **<u>[Click here to read the full letter](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/831616/000110465925056822/tm2517282d1_ex99-1.htm)</u>.**

**Call us directly at (619) 664-4780 to vote for the BLUE card and for the return of your capital or vote the blue proxy from our online e-mail.** 

Sincerely,

**Al Hartman** 

Hartman Shareholder Alliance
