<u>**CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**</u>

This Report contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or by Public Law 104-67. All statements included in this Report, other than statements that relate solely to historical fact, are "forward-looking statements." Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events, including the impact of geopolitical tensions, inflation, tariffs, the state of the economy and financial markets generally, and their effect on the markets in which we operate and the broader demand for the products and services we sell as well as on the businesses of companies in which we have invested, our ability to refinance our indebtedness, the integration of businesses we may acquire, government regulation, the market for our Class A common stock, pandemics or any statement that may relate to strategies, plans or objectives for, or potential results of, future operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy or liquidity, and are based upon management's current plans and beliefs or current estimates of future results or trends. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by phrases such as "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "should," "seeks," "predicts," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," "estimates," "plans," "could," "designed," "should be" and other similar expressions that denote expectations of future or conditional events rather than statements of fact.

Forward-looking statements include certain statements made under the caption, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," under Item 7 of this Report, but also forward-looking statements that appear in other parts of this Report. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on certain assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from trends, plans, or expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this Report, including under the caption "Risk Factors," under Item 1A of this Report. Additionally, there may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

This Report also contains statistical and other industry and market data related to our business and industry that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by us and third parties as well as our estimates of potential market opportunities. Industry publications, third-party and our own research, surveys and studies generally indicate that such information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they or we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. This market data includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. As a result, our markets may not grow at the rates projected by this data, or at all. The failure of these markets to grow at these projected rates may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of our common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Summary of Risk Factors** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of the factors that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the market price of shares of our Class A common stock or our prospects include, but are not limited to, the following. You should read this summary together with the more detailed description of each risk factor contained in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other reports and documents filed or furnished by us with the SEC from time to time for a more detailed discussion of the principal risks (as well as certain other risks) that you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our securities.

***Risks Related To Acquisitions and Operations of Our Business***

● We have incurred losses from operations since inception and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future;

● We may be unable to identify and successfully complete acquisitions and, even if acquisitions are identified and completed, we may fail to successfully operate acquired properties, in which event we may elect to sell all or a substantial portion of a business unit;

● Our business strategy relies on the successful acquisition and integration of diverse companies and operations, and expansion of current business lines or entering into new industries could negatively impact our operating income;

● A significant portion of our assets are securities we hold in other companies. Our investments in Sky Harbour Group Corporation ("Sky Harbour") Class A common stock and securities of other companies involve a substantial degree of risk and our investments in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and these other securities may be subject to material impairment charges depending on the value of these securities. Our ability to sell all or a portion of the Sky Harbour Class A common stock, which are registered, may be limited due to our significant ownership position relative to the total public market float for Sky Harbour's Class A common stock;

● If we enter new business segments, members of our senior management may have limited or no experience in the industries we operate, and we will be reliant on key personnel. The departure of any of our key personnel could materially and adversely affect us; and

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

***Risks Related to Our Indebtedness***

● Our ability to borrow may be limited in case of adverse changes within the credit market; and

● Any failure in the future to comply with the covenants set forth in our billboard business and broadband business credit agreements could result in the loan balance becoming immediately due and payable.

***Risks Related to Access to Capital and Raising Additional Capital***

● We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our operations and may be forced to take actions to fund our operations such as debt financing, refinancing current indebtedness, or future equity issuances of our capital stock, any or all of which may not be successful; and

● We may raise additional equity capital through additional public or private placements, any of which could substantially dilute your investment.

***Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities***

● The market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock as well as investments we hold in Sky Harbour and other publicly traded securities we own may be volatile and negatively impacted by broad market fluctuations;

● Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in our management and, as a result, depress the trading price of our common stock;

● Our chief executive officer and certain directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented;

● We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock and, consequently, the ability of investors to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock;

● Certain of our stockholders still hold 7,713,933 registered shares of our Class A common stock.

***Regulatory Risks***

● Dependent on the price of certain publicly-traded securities we currently hold, including our ownership of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, we could become subject to registration and regulation under the Investment Company Act;

● Our business segments are subject to complex federal, state and local laws and regulations that could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting our operations or expose us to significant liabilities; and

● Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations or our failure to comply with those laws or regulations and changes in tax laws may adversely impact us.

**PART I**

| **Item 1.**  | **Business.** |

---

**Our Company**

Boston Omaha Corporation, which we refer to as "the Company," "our Company," "we," "us" or "our," commenced its current business operations in June 2015 and currently operates four separate lines of business: outdoor billboard advertising, broadband services, surety insurance and related brokerage activities, and an asset management business. In addition, we hold minority investments in commercial real estate management and brokerage services, a bank focused on servicing the automotive loan market, a company serving the broadband industry, and a publicly-traded developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars.

**Outdoor Billboard Advertising**

In June 2015, we commenced our billboard business operations through acquisitions by our wholly owned subsidiary, Link Media Holdings, LLC, which we refer to as "Link," of smaller billboard companies located in the Southeast United States and Wisconsin. During July and August 2018, we acquired the membership interest or assets of three larger billboard companies which increased our overall billboard count to approximately 2,900 billboards. In addition, we have made several billboard acquisitions on a smaller scale since that date. We believe that we are a leading outdoor billboard advertising company in the markets we serve in the Midwest. As of December 31, 2025, we operate approximately 3,900 billboards with approximately 7,500 advertising faces. One of our principal business objectives is to continue to acquire additional billboard assets through acquisitions of existing billboard businesses in the United States when they can be made at what we believe to be attractive prices relative to other opportunities generally available to us.

We are attracted to the outdoor advertising market due to a number of factors, including high regulatory barriers to building new billboards in some states, growing demand, low maintenance capital expenditures for static billboards, low cost per impression for customers, and the potential opportunity to employ more capital in existing assets at reasonable returns in the form of perpetual easements and digital billboard conversions. In addition, unlike other advertising industries, the internet has not had a material adverse impact on outdoor advertising revenues. The billboard industry's three largest companies are estimated to account for more than 50% of the industry's total revenues, and several industry sources and our experience suggest that there are a large number of other companies serving the remainder of the market, providing a potentially significant source of billboards which may be acquired in the future.

**Surety Insurance**

In September 2015, we established an insurance subsidiary, General Indemnity Group, LLC, which we refer to as "GIG," designed to own and operate insurance businesses generally handling high volume, lower policy limit commercial lines of property and casualty insurance. In April 2016, our surety insurance business commenced with the acquisition of a surety insurance brokerage business with a national internet-based presence. In December 2016, we completed the acquisition of United Casualty and Surety Insurance Company, which we refer to as "UCS," a surety insurance company, which at that time was licensed to issue surety bonds in only nine states. UCS now has licenses to operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, we have also acquired additional surety insurance brokerage businesses located in various regions of the United States. We currently operate our insurance brokerage businesses under our BOSS Bonds™ tradename. We offer independent insurance agents the opportunity to purchase surety insurance through our computerized portal which offers speed and ease in application processing for the independent agent. We may in the future expand the reach of our insurance activities to other forms of insurance which may have similar characteristics to surety, such as high volume and low average policy premium insurance businesses which historically have similar economics.

**Broadband Services**

In April 2019, we established a broadband subsidiary, Fiber is Fast, LLC, which has changed its name to Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC, which we refer to as "BOB." In March 2020, our subsidiary, FIF AireBeam LLC, which we refer to as "AireBeam," acquired substantially all of the business assets of FibAire Communications, LLC, which we refer to as "FibAire," a rural broadband internet provider that served over 8,000 customers in communities in southern Arizona with a high-speed fixed wireless internet service and is building an all fiber-to-the-home network in select Arizona markets. In December 2020, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of Utah Broadband, LLC, which we refer to as "UBB," a broadband internet provider that provided high-speed internet to over 10,000 customers throughout Utah. In September 2021, we announced the launch of Fiber Fast Homes, LLC, which we refer to as "FFH," which partners with builders, developers and build for rent communities to build fiber-to-the-home infrastructure and provide fiber internet service to residents. In April 2022, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of InfoWest, Inc. and Go Fiber LLC, which we refer to on a combined basis now as "InfoWest," fiber and fixed wireless internet service providers with over 20,000 customers throughout Southern and Central Utah, Northern Arizona, and Moapa Valley, Nevada. In addition, over the last few years, we have also acquired additional smaller broadband businesses located in Utah. As of December 31, 2025, we have approximately 49,500 broadband customers (19,900 fiber customers) and 48,300 fiber passings completed. We hope to continue to expand in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and other locales.

**Asset Management**

In September 2017, we established an asset management subsidiary, Boston Omaha Asset Management, LLC, which we refer to as "BOAM," designed to raise third-party capital and invest alongside Boston Omaha Corporation in specific assets and businesses that may offer attractive long-term returns on invested capital. During 2021, we established a subsidiary, Fund One: Boston Omaha Build for Rent, LP ("BFR Fund"), within BOAM to operate a proposed build-for-rent business, focusing on developing, building, and managing single family detached and/or townhomes for long term rentals. In 2022, we started having initial conversations to raise third-party capital to "fund finance" the growth of our fiber business. In May 2023, we acquired 100% of the membership interests in 24th Street Asset Management LLC ("24th Street"), from the other members of 24th Street. Prior to the acquisition, BOAM indirectly owned 48% of the membership interests of 24th Street. 24th Street is the manager of two funds, 24th Street Fund I, LLC and 24th Street Fund II, LLC, which we refer to as "the 24th Street Funds," focusing on secured lending and direct investments in commercial real estate.

In recent years, BOAM has been staffed and equipped to support the growth of the fiber and real estate businesses. The high costs and significant risks associated with "fund financing" based on current market conditions led us to conclude that it would be more appropriate to pursue self-funding, bank debt, and other funding options for our fiber business at this time. As a result, we are winding down BOAM's operations and over the past 18 months have implemented significant cost cutting measures as BOAM now only manages real estate funds. With respect to our funds under management (the 24th Street Funds and the BFR Fund), we have been selling the underlying real estate assets at the highest price the market will bear with only a few projects still to be sold. Additionally, we will be returning capital to our fund partners during the wind-down process on the remaining portion of these assets.

**Minority Investments**

Since 2015, we have made minority investments in several different industries.

● Since September 2015, we have made a series of investments in commercial real estate, a commercial real estate management, brokerage and related services business as well as an asset management business. We currently own 30% of Logic Real Estate Companies, LLC, which we refer to as "Logic." On May 1, 2023, our BOAM subsidiary acquired 100% of the membership interests in 24th Street, from the members of 24th Street other than BOAM, for cash and BOC Class A common stock valued at $5,016,494 in the aggregate. Prior to the transaction, BOAM indirectly owned 48% of the membership interests of 24th Street. The consideration consisted of $2,759,072 in cash at closing, an additional $1,254,102 in cash subject to holdback, and 45,644 shares of BOC Class A common stock (based on the average closing price of BOC Class A common stock for the 30 business day period ending two days before the closing date). The shares issued in the transaction are unregistered and have no registration rights. The purchase agreement also provides for certain payments based on performance to receive the holdback amount and certain other potential limited earnout payments. In addition, we have invested, through one of our subsidiaries, an aggregate of $6 million in the 24th Street Funds. These funds are managed by 24th Street and focus on opportunities within secured lending and direct investments in commercial real estate.

● In December 2017, we invested $10 million in common units of Dream Finders Holdings LLC, which we refer to as "DFH," the parent company of Dream Finders Homes, LLC, a national home builder. In addition to its homebuilding operations, DFH's subsidiaries provide mortgage loan origination and title insurance services to homebuyers. On January 25, 2021, Dream Finders Homes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DFH, completed its initial public offering and Dream Finders Homes, Inc. became a holding company and sole manager of DFH. Upon completion of the initial public offering, our outstanding common units in DFH were converted into 4,681,099 shares of Class A common stock of Dream Finders Homes, Inc., and one of our subsidiaries purchased an additional 120,000 shares of Class A common stock in the initial public offering. Since DFH's initial public offering through December 31, 2022, we have sold all our 4,801,099 shares of DFH Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $81 million.

● In May 2018, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested approximately $19 million through the purchase of common stock of CB&T Holding Corporation, which we refer to as "CB&T," the privately-held parent company of Crescent Bank & Trust, Inc., which we refer to as "Crescent." Our investment now represents 15.6% of CB&T's outstanding common stock. Crescent is located in New Orleans and generates the majority of its revenues from indirect subprime automobile lending across the United States.

● In October 2020, our subsidiary BOC Yellowstone LLC, which we refer to as "BOC Yellowstone," served as sponsor for the underwritten initial public offering of a special purpose acquisition company named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, which we refer to as "Yellowstone." Between August and November 2020, we invested, through BOC Yellowstone, approximately $7.8 million through the purchase of 3,399,724 shares of Class B common stock and 7,719,779 non-redeemable private placement warrants, each warrant entitling us to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. In August 2021, Yellowstone entered into a business combination agreement with Sky Harbour LLC, which we refer to as "SHG," a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars. The business combination was completed on January 25, 2022 and Yellowstone changed its name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation, which we refer to as "Sky Harbour." Sky Harbour's Class A common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol "SKYH" and its warrants to purchase Class A common stock trade under the symbol "SKYH.WS."

● In September 2021, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested $55 million directly into SHG and received Series B preferred units, which we refer to "Sky Series B Preferred Units." Upon the successful consummation of the Sky Harbour business combination, this investment converted into 5,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour's Class A common stock based upon an assumed value of $10.00 per share. In December 2021, we agreed to provide Sky Harbour an additional $45 million through the purchase of 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, which was consummated in January 2022. Through December 31, 2025, we have sold 1,015,537 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $11.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, we held 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,779 Sky Harbour warrants.

● In 2021, we established the BFR Fund subsidiary within BOAM to operate a proposed build-for-rent business, focusing on developing, building, and managing single family detached and/or townhomes for long term rentals. We invested approximately $15 million of capital to finance the initial acquisitions for these projects and subsequently raised third-party capital to be invested alongside our capital. The BFR Fund acquired land parcels in Nevada with the initial plan to develop, construct, and operate build-for-rent communities. However, challenges in the market, including the increase in interest rates and the inability to achieve what we believe are appropriate risk-adjusted returns, have led us to pursue selling the remaining BFR Fund's entitled land assets to public homebuilders. Consequently, we are winding down the BFR Fund earlier than originally targeted. We have returned the uninvested cash on hand to BFR Fund partners and, as we sell the BFR Fund's entitled land assets, returning that capital to BFR Fund partners as well.

● In July 2023, we invested approximately $3 million in voting preferred stock of MyBundle.TV Inc., which we refer to as "MyBundle," a company serving the broadband industry by allowing consumers choices in bundling streaming services.

In addition to our activities in outdoor billboards, broadband services, surety insurance, asset management and the various industries in which we have made minority investments, we will also consider other industries which offer the potential for predictable and attractive returns on invested capital. We expect to continue to be opportunistic in exploring other opportunities which meet our investment criteria.

Our objective is to grow intrinsic value per share at an attractive rate by retaining capital to reinvest in the productive capabilities of our current subsidiaries, make opportunistic investments, and/or invest in new, anticipated durable earnings streams. Each of these options for capital will be compared to one another on a regular basis, and capital will be deployed according to our management's judgment as to where it believes allocated capital has the potential to achieve the best long-term return.

**Our History**

Boston Omaha Corporation was originally incorporated as REO Plus, Inc., which we refer to as "REO," on August 10, 2009. On March 16, 2015, we reincorporated as a Delaware corporation, adopted new bylaws and changed our name to Boston Omaha Corporation. Our principal business address is 1601 Dodge Street, Suite 3300, Omaha, Nebraska 68102, and our telephone number is 402-210-2633. We registered as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the "Exchange Act," on November 9, 2016. In 2016, we were listed for trading on the OTCQX under the trading symbol "BOMN," and in June 2017, in connection with our 2017 public offering, we transferred and uplisted to the NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol "BOMN." On January 14, 2022, we transferred our listing to the New York Stock Exchange and now trade under the trading symbol "BOC."

On February 13, 2015, Magnolia Capital Fund, L.P., which we refer to as "MCF," and Boulderado Partners, LLC, which we refer to as "BP," acquired shares of the Company's common stock representing approximately 95% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares at the time. MCF is managed by The Magnolia Group, LLC, which we refer to as "Magnolia," and BP is managed by Boulderado Capital, LLC and Boulderado Group, LLC, which we collectively refer to as "Boulderado." Magnolia is managed by Adam K. Peterson, our Chairmen and Chief Executive Officer.

On June 18, 2015, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation and effected a 7:1 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock. We also created an additional series of our stock now named Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Each share of Class B common stock is identical to the Class A common stock in liquidation, dividend and similar rights. The only differences between our Class B common stock and our Class A common stock is that each share of Class B common stock has 10 votes for each share held, while the Class A common stock has a single vote per share, and certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of the holders of the Class B common stock. There are currently 580,558 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding, which are owned by MCF.

Since 2015, we have raised capital through private investments, public offerings, a bank term loan and revolving loan entered into by Link with a commercial lender, and a bank term loan entered into by BOB with a commercial lender.

**Our Relationship with Magnolia and Repurchase of Interests of Boulderado**

In its role as general partner of MCF and Magnolia BOC I, LP, which we refer to as "MBOC I", Magnolia, through its ownership of Class A common stock and all of our Class B common stock, controls approximately 31% of the aggregate voting power and, as a result, will for the foreseeable future likely be able to continue to effectively control the election of our directors, determine our corporate and management policies and determine without the consent of our other stockholders the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including potential mergers or acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporate transactions. Adam K. Peterson, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, is a principal in Magnolia. In addition, Magnolia is the only holder of our Class B common stock, and has the ability to limit our ability to take certain actions, notwithstanding the approval of a majority of our board of directors to take such action.

The interests of these funds managed by Magnolia may not coincide with the interests of other holders of our Class A common stock. Mr. Peterson also receives compensation from Magnolia for his role as manager of Magnolia. Additionally, these funds are in the business of making investments in companies and may, from time to time, acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us.

MCF is a private investment partnership in Omaha, Nebraska, which commenced operations in August 2014. MBOC I is a private investment partnership in Omaha, Nebraska, which commenced operations in February 2018. Adam K. Peterson is the sole manager of Magnolia, an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Magnolia is the general partner and the manager of MCF and MBOC I.

On May 9, 2024, the Company, Alex B. Rozek, and certain other parties set forth therein, entered into a Separation and Stock Repurchase Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"). Effective as of May 9, 2024, Mr. Rozek resigned as an officer and director of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than as a member of the board of directors of Sky Harbour. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company repurchased from Mr. Rozek and Boulderado Partners, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Rozek, in the aggregate, 210,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock, 527,780 shares of Company Class B Common Stock, and 51,994 warrants to acquire 51,994 shares of Company Class B Common Stock. The price of the Class A shares repurchased was based on the 30-trading day volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock for the 30 trading days ending two trading days prior to the execution of the Separation Agreement. The price of the Class B shares repurchased was based on the 30-trading day volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock for the 30 trading days ending two trading days prior to the execution of the Separation Agreement plus a blocking/control premium, for which management employed a third-party valuation expert. The aggregate purchase price paid to Mr. Rozek was $9,175,605, comprised of cash payments of $8,800,480 and 36,705 shares of Class A Common Stock of Sky Harbour. The aggregate purchase price paid to Boulderado was $9,951,113, comprised of cash payments of $7,960,891 and 194,738 shares of Class A Common Stock of Sky Harbour. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, (a) we transferred to Mr. Rozek 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 of Sky Harbour, as consideration for his efforts in connection with the successful launch of Sky Harbour, (b) Mr. Rozek received severance of $960,000, which was paid in full in equal monthly installments through November 2025, and (c) Mr. Rozek received employee benefits of $75,000, which was paid in full in equal monthly installments through November 2025, each of which are included within "Employee costs" within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. There are no other severance or other outstanding financial obligations to Mr. Rozek. Mr. Rozek agreed to customary non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality, cooperation, and return of property covenants. As consideration for entering into a non-competition agreement, we paid Mr. Rozek $250,000. In addition, Mr. Rozek and the named executive officers and board of directors of the Company agreed to a mutual non-disparagement covenant, and the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to nominate Mr. Rozek as one of seven directors on the board of directors of Sky Harbour through the 2026 Sky Harbour Annual Meeting.

**Our Acquisitions and Equity Investments**

Since June 2015, we have expended over $530 million in the acquisition of businesses in outdoor billboard advertising, broadband services, surety insurance and brokerage operations, investment in our asset management business, and in the purchase of minority equity interests in various businesses. We anticipate seeking further acquisitions in these business areas and possibly expanding into other businesses that we believe have the potential for durable profitability in a very competitive world.

***Outdoor Billboard** **Advertising.*** Since June 2015, through over twenty acquisitions, several asset purchases and one exchange, we have acquired numerous billboard structures, many with multiple faces, related easements, and rights in some instances to construct additional billboards. These billboards are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. We paid a combined purchase price of over $240 million for these billboards and related assets. As of March 1, 2025, we operated approximately 3,900 billboard structures containing approximately 7,500 advertising faces, of which over 100 are digital displays.

***Surety Insurance.*** Since September 2015, through six acquisitions, we have acquired one insurance company (UCS) and five insurance brokerage firms. We paid a combined purchase price of approximately $21.7 million for these acquisitions. Additionally, we have contributed approximately $47.6 million in statutory capital to UCS. UCS is authorized to issue surety insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, is approved by the United States Department of Treasury, and rated "A-" (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company.

***Broadband Services*.** In March 2020, AireBeam acquired substantially all the business assets of FibAire, a rural broadband internet provider. AireBeam provided high-speed internet to over 8,000 subscribers in communities in southern Arizona with a high-speed fixed wireless internet service and is building an all fiber-to-the-home network in select Arizona markets. We acquired AireBeam for approximately $12.3 million in cash and issued to FibAire's co-founder and chief executive 10% of the equity in the newly formed entity. In December 2020, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of UBB, a rural broadband internet provider. UBB provided high-speed internet to over 10,000 subscribers in Salt Lake City, Park City, Ogden, Provo and surrounding communities. We acquired UBB for approximately $21.3 million in cash and issued to Alpine Networks, Inc., UBB's member, 20% of the equity in the newly formed entity. In June 2021, we purchased the 10% equity stake in AireBeam from FibAire's co-founder and chief executive for approximately $664,000. In April 2022, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of InfoWest, which are fiber and fixed wireless internet service providers with over 20,000 customers throughout Southern and Central Utah, Northern Arizona, and Moapa Valley, Nevada. We acquired InfoWest for approximately $38.8 million in cash and issued to the co-founders of InfoWest 20% of the equity in the newly formed entity. In June 2022, UBB completed the acquisition of Strawberry Communications, LLC's internet services business for approximately $1.1 million. In June 2023, InfoWest acquired from Pro Communication and Construction Services, LLC, which we refer to as "ProComm," broadband construction equipment and related assets for a purchase price of approximately $2.9 million paid in cash. In October 2023, InfoWest acquired substantially all of the business assets of SunRiver Fiber Network from Cable Systems of Nevada, which we refer to as "Cable Systems," for a purchase price of approximately $4.4 million. In April 2024, we entered into agreements with the minority members of UBB and InfoWest, where the original owners exchanged their membership interests in the companies for unregistered shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock valued at approximately $13.4 million at the time of the transaction. As a result, BOB now owns 100% of UBB and InfoWest.

***Minority Investments.*** Since 2015, we have made minority investments in several different industries.

● Since September 2015, we have made a series of investments in commercial real estate, a commercial real estate management, brokerage and related services business as well as an asset management business. We currently own 30% of Logic. On May 1, 2023, our BOAM subsidiary acquired 100% of the membership interests in 24th Street from the members of 24th Street other than BOAM for cash and BOC Class A common stock valued at $5,016,494 in the aggregate. Prior to the transaction, BOAM indirectly owned 48% of the membership interests of 24th Street. The consideration consisted of $2,759,072 in cash at closing, an additional $1,254,102 in cash subject to holdback, and 45,644 shares of BOC Class A common stock (based on the average closing price of BOC Class A common stock for the 30 business day period ending two days before the closing date). The shares issued in the transaction are unregistered and have no registration rights. The purchase agreement also provides for certain payments based on performance to receive the holdback amount and certain other potential limited earnout payments. In addition, we have invested, through one of our subsidiaries, an aggregate of $6 million in the 24th Street Funds. These funds are managed by 24th Street and focus on opportunities within secured lending and direct investments in commercial real estate.

● In December 2017, we invested $10 million in common units of DFH, the parent company of Dream Finders Homes, LLC, a national home builder. In addition to its homebuilding operations, DFH's subsidiaries provide mortgage loan origination and title insurance services to homebuyers. On January 25, 2021, Dream Finders Homes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DFH, completed its initial public offering and Dream Finders Homes, Inc. became a holding company and sole manager of DFH. Upon completion of the initial public offering, our outstanding common units in DFH were converted into 4,681,099 shares of Class A common stock of Dream Finders Homes, Inc., and one of our subsidiaries purchased an additional 120,000 shares of Class A common stock in the initial public offering. Since DFH's initial public offering through December 31, 2022, we have sold all our 4,801,099 shares of DFH Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $81 million.

● In May 2018, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested approximately $19 million through the purchase of common stock of CB&T, the privately-held parent company of Crescent. Our investment now represents 15.6% of CB&T's outstanding common stock. Crescent is located in New Orleans and generates the majority of its revenues from indirect subprime automobile lending across the United States.

● In October 2020, our subsidiary BOC Yellowstone served as sponsor for the underwritten initial public offering of a special purpose acquisition company named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, which we refer to as "Yellowstone" sold in its public offering 13,598,898 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and a redeemable warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Between August and November 2020, we invested, through BOC Yellowstone, approximately $7.8 million through the purchase of 3,399,724 shares of Class B common stock and 7,719,779 non-redeemable private placement warrants, each warrant entitling us to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. In August 2021, Yellowstone entered into a business combination agreement with Sky Harbour LLC, a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars. The business combination was completed on January 25, 2022 and Yellowstone changed its name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation. Sky Harbour's Class A common stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol "SKYH" and its warrants to purchase Class A common stock trade under the symbol "SKYH.WS."

● In September 2021, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested $55 million directly into SHG and received Series B preferred units. Upon the successful consummation of the Sky Harbour business combination, this investment converted into 5,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour's Class A common stock based upon an assumed value of $10.00 per share. In December 2021, we agreed to provide Sky Harbour an additional $45 million through the purchase of 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, which was consummated in January 2022. Through December 31, 2025, we have sold 1,015,537 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $11.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, we held 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,779 Sky Harbour warrants.

● In 2021, we established the BFR Fund subsidiary within BOAM to operate a proposed build-for-rent business, focusing on developing, building, and managing single family detached and/or townhomes for long term rentals. We invested approximately $15 million of capital to finance the initial acquisitions for these projects and subsequently raised third-party capital to be invested alongside our capital. The BFR Fund acquired land parcels in Nevada with the initial plan to develop, construct, and operate build-for-rent communities. However, challenges in the market, including the increase in interest rates and the inability to achieve what we believe are appropriate risk-adjusted returns, have led us to pursue selling the BFR Fund's entitled land assets to public homebuilders. Consequently, we are winding down the BFR Fund earlier than originally targeted by returning the uninvested cash on hand to BFR Fund partners and, as we sell the BFR Fund's entitled land assets, returning that capital to BFR Fund partners as well.

● In July 2023, we invested approximately $3 million in voting preferred stock of MyBundle, a company serving the broadband industry.

**Industry Background**

We currently operate outdoor billboard advertising services, provide broadband services, and sell surety insurance products and have minority investments in commercial real estate management and brokerage companies, a bank focused on servicing the automotive loan market, and a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars.

***Outdoor Billboard** **Advertising** **.*** We currently own and operate approximately 3,900 billboard structures in the Southeast and Midwest United States containing approximately 7,500 advertising faces, of which over 100 are digital displays. In addition, we hold options to build additional billboards in a few of these states. Over 95% of our billboards reside on leased parcels of property. The site lease terms generally range from one to 20 years and often come with renewal options. Many of our leases contain options to extend the lease so as to allow continuous operation for many years or exist in areas where we believe that regulations make it probable a new lease will be signed prior to expiration on similar economic terms to existing leases. Bulletins are large advertising structures consisting of panels, called faces, on which advertising copy is displayed. On traditional billboards, the customer's advertising copy is printed with computer-generated graphics on a single sheet of vinyl and wrapped around the billboard face. Bulletins are usually located on major highways and target vehicular traffic. Advertising contracts are typically short-term to medium-term (one week to three years). We generally lease individually selected bulletin space to advertisers for the duration of the contract. In addition to the traditional displays described above, we also have digital displays which generally come with shorter term advertising contracts (one week to twelve months). Outdoor billboards were estimated as a $6.7 billion market in the U.S. in 2025 based on industry trade journals. Other outdoor advertising solutions, including street furniture (for example, bus shelters and benches), transit and other new alternative advertising signs at sports stadiums, malls, airports and other locations account for approximately an additional estimated $2.7 billion in revenues in 2025 according to industry sources. There is no concentration of industries to which we lease billboard space.

***Surety Insurance** **.*** Suretyship insurance occurs when one party guarantees payment or performance by another party for an obligation or undertaking. Many obligations are guaranteed through surety bonds. Common types of surety bonds include commercial surety bonds and contract surety bonds. Suretyship is an integral part of the functioning of government and commerce. In many complex endeavors involving risk, a need exists to have a third party assure the performance or obligations of one party to another party. Surety companies are the "third parties" that provide such financial assurances in return for premium payments. Surety bonds are provided in government bidding and contracting processes as well as for individuals obtaining various government licenses and for individuals and businesses entering into apartment and office lease rentals. Various types of bonds are designed to ensure that when a contractor bids on a project, and is awarded the project, that the project is completed for the amount of the bid, and that the contractors pay their subcontractors and suppliers.

Surety bonds are regulated by state insurance departments. Surety insurance companies operate on a different business model than traditional casualty insurance. Surety is designed to prevent a loss. Though some losses do occur, surety premiums do not contain large provisions for loss payment. The surety takes only those risks which its underwriting experience indicates are reasonable to assume based on its underlying experience. This service is for qualified individuals or businesses whose affairs require a guarantor. The surety views its underwriting as a form of credit, much like a lending arrangement, and places its emphasis on the qualifications of the prime contractor or subcontractor to fulfill its obligations successfully, examining the contractor's credit history, financial strength, experience, work in progress and management capability. After the surety assesses such factors, it makes a determination as to the appropriateness and the amount, if any, of surety credit. Unlike property and casualty insurance, surety insurance allows the surety insurance company to pursue the contractor or subcontractor which purchased the surety bond for any losses incurred if a claim is made.

Surety insurers are highly regulated and scrutinized, through legal requirements for regular financial, market conduct and operational audits, and other means, in order to conduct business in the estimated $10.7 billion surety market, based on 2024 industry reports. Most surety companies, in turn, distribute surety bonds through licensed surety bond producers, licensed business professionals who have specialized knowledge of surety products, the surety market, and the business strategies and underwriting differences among sureties. A bond producer can serve as an objective, external resource for evaluating a construction firm's capabilities and, where necessary, can suggest improvements to help the construction firm meet a surety company's underwriting requirements. Bond producers compete based on their experience, reputation, and ability to issue bonds on behalf of sureties.

***Broadband Services.*** Our AireBeam, UBB, InfoWest, and FFH businesses provide fiber connectivity to homes, business and community organizations in certain markets in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and other locales. Driven by the rising demand for higher bandwidth and faster speed connections for a variety of industrial and residential purposes, fiber optic transmission is becoming more and more common in modern society. Fiber optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables. The significantly higher amount of information that can be transmitted per unit time of fiber over other transmission media is its most significant advantage. Also, an optical fiber offers low power loss, which allows for longer transmission distances. Fiber optic is generally less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, has greater capacity and weighs less than traditional metal wire connections. Also, fiber optic is made of glass, which can provide certain cost advantages over traditional copper wire. Optical fiber is more difficult and expensive to install than copper wire and special equipment is required to test optical fiber. Fiber optic is also highly susceptible to becoming cut or damaged during installation or construction activities. We believe that the demand for broadband services has increased significantly since the COVID pandemic and that this demand will continue to grow as more businesses and consumers rely on remote connectivity for work, learning, telehealth and other connectivity needs and as new technologies expand the ability to digitally share information and services.

**Business Overview and Strategy**

Since present management took over in February 2015, we have engaged in (i) acquisitions and minority investments in outdoor billboard advertising, broadband service providers, asset management, surety insurance, commercial real estate services, homebuilding and a bank holding company, (ii) purchases of publicly traded equity securities and (iii) in October 2020 served as the sponsor for an initial public offering for Yellowstone and its subsequent business combination with Sky Harbour in January 2022. Our strategy focuses on investing in companies and lines of business that have demonstrated or which we believe have the potential to consistently demonstrate earnings power over time, with attractive pre-tax historical returns on tangible equity capital, and that we believe are available at a reasonable price.

We source acquisitions both internally via phone calls, research or mailings, business relationships developed over time and also by receipt of target acquisition opportunities from a number of brokers and other professionals. We seek acquisitions consistent with our growth strategy, but there can be no assurance that we will consummate acquisitions pursuant to outstanding letters of intent or acquire any additional billboard assets, surety brokerage firms, broadband service providers, or minority investments in any other businesses. Furthermore, our acquisitions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including as to when, whether, and to what extent the anticipated benefits and cost savings of a particular acquisition will be realized. We are also seeking opportunities to acquire other businesses or a significant interest in existing businesses. We look to acquire businesses in their entirety that have consistently demonstrated earnings power over time, with attractive pre-tax historical returns on tangible equity capital, and that are available at a reasonable price. However, we may consider minority positions and stock issuances when the economics are favorable. In certain circumstances, we may enter lines of business directly when the opportunities and economics of doing so are favorable in comparison to acquisitions.

***Outdoor Billboard** **Advertising***. We seek to capitalize on our growing network and diversified geographical and product mix to grow revenues. We believe the outdoor advertising business offers attractive industry fundamentals which we hope to utilize and leverage as we plan to continue to grow our presence in the United States. We hope that our growing presence will be an attractive tool in identifying and attracting both local and national advertisers. We work with our customers to enable them to better understand how our billboards can successfully reach their target audiences and promote their advertising campaigns. Our long-term strategy for our outdoor advertising business includes pursuing digital display opportunities where appropriate, while simultaneously utilizing traditional methods of displaying outdoor advertisements, and with a goal of consolidating fragmented markets where applicable.

Digital displays offer the opportunity to link electronic displays through centralized computer systems to change advertising copy instantaneously and simultaneously on a large number of displays. The ability to change copy by time of day and quickly change messaging based on advertisers' needs creates additional flexibility for our customers. However, digital displays require more capital to construct and maintain compared to traditional bulletins and increase the supply of advertising faces in a market.

Our local production staffs provide many of our customers a range of services required to create and install advertising copy. Production work includes creating the advertising copy design and layout, coordinating its printing with outside printing firms and installing the copy on the billboard face. We provide creative services to smaller advertisers and to advertisers not represented by advertising agencies. National advertisers often use preprinted designs that require only installation. Our creative and production personnel typically develop new designs or adapt copy from other media for use on our inventory. Our creative staff also can assist in the development of marketing presentations, demonstrations, and strategies to attract new clients.

We typically own the physical structures on which our clients' advertising copy is displayed. We acquire new structures from third parties on sites we either lease or own or for which we have acquired permanent easements. We generally have limited or no responsibilities to maintain the land on which the billboard is sited. The site lease terms generally range from one to 20 years and often come with renewal options or exist in areas where we believe that regulations make it probable a new lease will be signed prior to expiration on similar economic terms to existing leases. In addition to the site lease, we usually need to obtain a permit to build and operate the sign. Permits are typically issued in perpetuity by the state or local government and typically are transferable or renewable for a minimal or no fee. Traditional bulletin and poster advertising copy is printed with computer generated graphics to form a single sheet of vinyl. These advertisements are then transported to the site and wrapped around the face of the structure.

***Surety Insurance.*** UCS has specialized in providing surety bonds since 1989. UCS is an authorized insurance carrier rated A- ("Excellent") by A.M. Best and is approved by the United States Department of the Treasury (570 Circular). UCS is currently licensed to conduct business in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to issuing traditional construction bonds for contractors and subcontractors, UCS offers a wide array of miscellaneous, license and permit bonds that protect consumers from the business activities of our customers or provide assurance to counterparties that our insureds will fulfill licensure requirements or faithfully remit monies owed. Our brokerage services currently operate under the name BOSS Bonds Insurance Agency, LLC.

We seek to reduce our risk by limiting policy amounts, following extensive underwriting processes, reviewing dashboards of critical metrics, and purchasing reinsurance coverage. Our underwriting process considers a number of factors, including the financial health of the customer, the customer's operating history, the type of obligation, the geographic territory where the contract is being issued, the language of the bond and the subject contract, and, if appropriate, a customer's pledge of collateral to reduce the risk in the event of a default. Historically, claims on surety bonds are limited by the extensive underwriting analysis undertaken before a risk is agreed to, forms of security provided upon the bond's issuance, and by the legal ability to pursue the customer obtaining the surety bond for recovery of amounts paid due to a claim. A surety's right of indemnification contrasts with property and casualty, or life insurance coverages, where no such recovery right exists. Unlike other insurance, surety insurance losses are commonly limited by the indemnity obligations of the insured, collateral provided by the insured at the time of issuance, or the insurance company's contractual right to uncollected funds from construction projects on which it has issued a bond and steps in for the insured.

***Broadband Services***. We seek to capitalize on the growing demand for rural internet access and increased bandwidth capacity as the economy shifts towards increased consumer demand and telecommuting work arrangements. AireBeam, UBB and InfoWest operate in several underserved communities in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah that need higher speed and greater internet capacity. Our strategy is to grow our presence in the rural broadband business as we expect many more communities to demand increasingly more bandwidth to their homes and businesses than their current service offering can reliably provide. Within certain markets, we believe that fiber-to-the-home has the potential to be a long-lived asset that fits into our objective to invest in what we believe are durable businesses that have the potential to achieve favorable pre-tax returns on invested capital. Recent studies suggest that a significant proportion of homes in the United States, particularly outside of major metropolitan areas, have not connected to high-speed broadband services as their communities lack all-fiber connectivity. We believe that the combination of the rural broadband business models at AireBeam, UBB and InfoWest we acquired together with our stronger balance sheet provides a competitive platform to bring fiber-to-the-home to additional communities in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah and other similarly situated communities in other states. In addition, through our FFH business, we have entered into contracts with home builders to bring fiber-to-the-home in large residential developments currently under construction and expect to continue to expand this to additional developments in the future. We believe that the fiber-to-the-home market shares similar qualities with our billboard and surety insurance markets in providing a diversified customer base in markets which impose some obstacles to competitors. We also believe that many broadband systems are owned by a significant number of small operators which may be interested in being acquired, providing us the potential for continued future growth in the broadband internet provider market.

**Competition**

***Outdoor Billboard Advertising***. The outdoor advertising industry in the United States consists of several large companies, and three companies, Clear Channel Outdoor, Outfront Media and Lamar Advertising Company, own a majority of all outdoor billboards. These companies are estimated to generate more than 50% of the industry's total revenues and several industry sources estimate that there are many other smaller companies serving the remainder of the market, providing a potentially significant source of billboards which may be acquired in the future. Part of our strategy is to acquire certain of the smaller and medium sized competitors in markets we deem desirable to advertisers. We also compete with other advertising media in our respective markets, including broadcast and cable television, radio, print media, direct mail, online and other forms of advertisement. Outdoor advertising companies compete primarily based on their ability to reach consumers, which is driven by location of the display.

***Surety Insurance** **.*** Our insurance business operates in an environment that is highly competitive and very fragmented. We compete with other global insurance and reinsurance providers, including but not limited to Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Zurich Insurance Group, CNA Insurance Group, and Chubb Ltd, as well as numerous specialist, regional and local firms in almost every area of our business. These companies may market and service their insurance products through intermediaries, or directly without the assistance of brokers or agents. We also compete with other businesses that do not fall into the categories above that provide risk-related services and products.

***Broadband Services.*** Our broadband services businesses provide high-speed internet connectivity and are aimed at rural and other underserved communities that need higher speed and greater internet capacity. In the future, leading cable operators, such as Comcast, Charter Communications and Optimum, and other competitors, as well as other corporations providing competitive services, such as AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, may seek to enter the markets we serve. In addition, we may face competition from 5G in the home and other services incorporating new technologies. Technological changes are further intensifying and may challenge existing business models. Our internet services are expected to compete with wireless phone companies, satellite and other broadband providers, as well as wireline phone companies and other providers of wireline internet service and others seeking to build fiber-based network infrastructure.

**Human Capital**

We believe we can continue to enhance stockholder value through our business practices that consider the long-term interests of all our stakeholders, including our employees. We aim to create a workplace where employees feel engaged, rewarded and empowered. Culture plays an important role in the way we conduct business and attract talent and, as such, we actively promote a culture of collaboration, creativity, inclusivity and ownership throughout the employee experience.

As of March 1, 2026, we had 422 employees, of which 260 were in broadband operations, 92 were in billboard operations, 65 were in insurance services and 5 were in administrative or corporate related activities. Currently, more than 90% of our employees are full time. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Hiring and developing our employees and building a work environment which they find fulfilling is an important goal for our business. We seek to promote a working environment which promotes the diversity of our workforce, respects the background of each employees and allows each employee to grow to his or her full potential. We seek to provide an attractive compensation and benefits package for our employees, including fair wages, incentives, a 401(k) program to which we provide matching contributions, health care benefits and time off for parental leave, among other benefits. We also are committed to employee safety and spend significant time training employees on safety protocols. We maintain an employee hotline to report issues of concern, which connects to our Chief Financial Officer, Chair of our Audit Committee and our outside counsel.

**Information Systems**

We rely on our information systems to manage our daily business activities, interact with customers and vendors, manage our digital billboard displays, and market our services. We have outsourced certain technology and business process functions to third parties and may increasingly do so in the future. We have also hired individuals responsible for maintaining and improving our information systems and for developing systems to protect both our information and that of our customers. In order to reduce the risk of unintended disclosure of customer information, our separate business groups operate different information systems for their customer interactions. Our outsourcing of certain technology and business process functions to third parties and our reliance on the use of our information systems may expose us to increased risk related to data security, service disruptions or the effectiveness of our control system. We also maintain certain levels of insurance designed to provide some coverage in the event of any damages arising from a breach of our computer security systems.

**Regulation of Our Outdoor Advertising Business**

The outdoor advertising industry in the United States is subject to governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. These regulations may include, among others, restrictions on the construction, repair, maintenance, lighting, upgrading, height, size, spacing and location and permitting of and, in some instances, content of advertising copy being displayed on outdoor advertising structures. We generally do not incur material costs related to compliance with environmental laws in our advertising business.

From time to time, legislation has been introduced attempting to impose taxes on revenue from outdoor advertising or for the right to use outdoor advertising assets. Several jurisdictions have imposed such taxes as a percentage of our outdoor advertising revenue generated in that jurisdiction. In addition, some jurisdictions have taxed our personal property and leasehold interests in advertising locations using various valuation methodologies. In certain circumstances, such as our current Tampa operations, when we lease space from a governmental authority, we may enter into revenue sharing agreements with the authority, and in other circumstances we will manage third party billboards in connection with revenue sharing agreements. We expect jurisdictions to continue to try to impose such taxes and other fees as a way of increasing revenue. In recent years, outdoor advertising also has become the subject of targeted taxes and fees. These laws may affect prevailing competitive conditions in our markets in a variety of ways. Such laws may reduce our expansion opportunities or may increase or reduce competitive pressure from other members of the outdoor advertising industry. No assurance can be given that existing or future laws or regulations, and the enforcement thereof, will not materially and adversely affect the outdoor advertising industry.

In the United States, federal law, principally the Highway Beautification Act, which we refer to as the "HBA," regulates outdoor advertising on Federal-Aid Primary, Interstate and National Highway Systems roads within the United States, which we refer to as "controlled roads." The HBA regulates the size and placement of billboards, requires the development of state standards, mandates a state's compliance program, promotes the expeditious removal of illegal signs and requires just compensation for takings.

To satisfy the HBA's requirements, all states have passed billboard control statutes and regulations that regulate, among other things, construction, repair, maintenance, lighting, height, size, spacing and the placement and permitting of outdoor advertising structures. We are not aware of any state that has passed control statutes and regulations less restrictive than the prevailing federal requirements on the federal highway system, including the requirement that an owner remove any non-grandfathered, non-compliant signs along the controlled roads, at the owner's expense and without compensation. Local governments generally also include billboard control as part of their zoning laws. Building codes regulating those items described above include similar provisions regarding the removal of non-grandfathered structures that do not comply with certain of the local requirements.

As part of their billboard control laws, state and local governments regulate the construction of new signs. Some jurisdictions prohibit new construction, some jurisdictions allow new construction only to replace or relocate existing structures and some jurisdictions allow new construction subject to the various restrictions discussed above. In certain jurisdictions, restrictive regulations also limit our ability to relocate, rebuild, repair, maintain, upgrade, modify or replace existing legal non-conforming billboards.

U.S. federal law neither requires nor prohibits the removal of existing lawful billboards, but it does mandate the payment of compensation if a state or political subdivision compels the removal of a lawful billboard along the controlled roads. In the past, state governments have purchased and removed existing lawful billboards for beautification purposes using federal funding for transportation enhancement programs, and these jurisdictions may continue to do so in the future. From time to time, state and local government authorities use the power of eminent domain and amortization to remove billboards. Amortization is the required removal of legal non-conforming billboards (billboards which conformed with applicable laws and regulations when built, but which do not conform to current laws and regulations) or the commercial advertising placed on such billboards after a period of years. Pursuant to this concept, the governmental body asserts that just compensation is earned by continued operation of the billboard over that period of time. Although amortization is prohibited along all controlled roads, amortization has been upheld along non-controlled roads in limited instances where permitted by state and local law.

We may expand the deployment of digital billboards in markets and in specific locations we deem appropriate and where the placement of these digital displays is permitted by government agencies regulating their locations. We are aware of some existing regulations in the U.S. that restrict or prohibit these types of digital displays. The findings of future studies related to the impact of digital billboards on driver safety issues, if any, may result in regulations at the federal or state level that impose greater restrictions on digital billboards. Any new restrictions on digital billboards could have a material adverse effect on both our existing inventory of digital billboards and our plans to expand our digital deployment, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 **Regulation of Our Surety Insurance Business**

GIG and its subsidiaries transact their insurance business in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia and are subject to regulation in the various states and jurisdictions in which they operate. The extent of regulation varies, but generally derives from statutes that delegate regulatory, supervisory and administrative authority to a department of insurance in each state and jurisdiction. The regulation, supervision and administration relate, among other things, to standards of solvency that must be met and maintained, the licensing of insurers and their agents, the nature of and limitations on investments, premium rates, restrictions on the size of risks that may be insured under a single policy, reserves and provisions for unearned premiums, losses and other obligations, deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders, approval of policy forms and the regulation of market conduct, including the use of credit information in underwriting as well as other underwriting and claims practices. State insurance departments also conduct periodic examinations of the financial condition and market conduct of insurance companies and require the filing of financial and other reports on a quarterly and annual basis. Nebraska, the state of domicile for UCS, may also limit the payment of dividends from UCS to GIG and us and, as a result, to our stockholders if and when we declare a dividend from the operations of UCS and/or GIG and its other operating subsidiaries.

GIG and its subsidiaries and/or certain of our designated employees must be licensed to act as agents, brokers and intermediaries by state regulatory authorities in the locations in which we conduct business. Regulations and licensing laws vary by individual state location and are often complex. The applicable licensing laws and regulations in all states are subject to amendment or reinterpretation by regulatory authorities, and such authorities are vested in most cases with relatively broad discretion as to the granting, revocation, suspension and renewal of licenses. We endeavor to monitor the licensing of GIG, its subsidiaries and our employees, but the possibility exists that GIG and its subsidiaries and/or certain of our designated employees could be excluded or temporarily suspended from carrying on some or all of our activities or could otherwise be subjected to penalties by a particular jurisdiction.

***Rate and Rule Approvals***. GIG's domestic insurance subsidiaries are subject to each state's laws and regulations regarding rate, form, and rule approvals. The applicable laws and regulations generally establish standards to ensure that rates are not excessive, inadequate, unfairly discriminatory or used to engage in unfair price competition. An insurer's ability to adjust rates and the relative timing of the process is dependent upon each state's requirements. Many states have enacted variations of competitive ratemaking laws, which allow insurers to set certain premium rates for certain classes of insurance without having to obtain the prior approval of the state insurance department. In addition, the Bureau of Fiscal Services of the United States Treasury administers the corporate Federal surety bond program, which issues certificates of authority to authorized surety companies, analyzes the financial statements of applicants and authorized companies to ensure compliance, and publishes lists of companies holding a certificate authority.

 

***Requirements for Exiting Geographic Markets and/or Canceling or Nonrenewing Policies**.* Several states have laws and regulations which may impact the timing and/or the ability of an insurer to either discontinue or substantially reduce its writings in that state. These laws and regulations typically require prior notice, and in some instances insurance department approval, prior to discontinuing a line of business or withdrawing from that state, and they allow insurers to cancel or non-renew certain policies only for certain specified reasons.

***Insurance Regulatory Information System**.* The National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which we refer to as "NAIC," developed the Insurance Regulatory Information System, which we refer to as "IRIS," to help state regulators identify companies that may require regulatory attention. Financial examiners review annual financial statements and the results of key financial ratios based on year-end data with the goal of identifying insurers that appear to require immediate regulatory attention. Each ratio has an established "usual range" of results. A ratio result falling outside the usual range, however, is not necessarily considered adverse; rather, unusual values are used as part of the regulatory early monitoring system. Furthermore, in some years, it may not be unusual for financially sound companies to have several ratios with results outside the usual ranges. Generally, an insurance company may become subject to regulatory scrutiny or, depending on the company's financial condition, regulatory action if certain of its key IRIS ratios fall outside the usual ranges and the insurer's financial condition is trending downward.

***Risk-Based Capital Requirements**.* The NAIC has a risk-based capital, which we refer to as "RBC," requirement for most property and casualty insurance companies, which determines minimum capital requirements and is intended to raise the level of protection for policyholder obligations. UCS is subject to these NAIC RBC requirements based on laws that have been adopted by individual states. These requirements subject insurers having policyholders' surplus less than that required by the RBC calculation to varying degrees of regulatory action, depending on the level of capital inadequacy.

***Investment Regulation**.* Insurance company investments must comply with applicable laws and regulations which prescribe the kind, quality and concentration of investments. In general, these laws and regulations permit investments in federal, state and municipal obligations, corporate bonds, certain preferred and common equity securities, mortgage loans, real estate and certain other investments, subject to specified limits and certain other qualifications. If certain investments fail to meet these criteria, these investments may be excluded or limited in calculating our compliance in meeting these and other testing criteria.

**Regulation of Our Broadband Business**

Many but not all of our services and networks are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, which we refer to as the "FCC," and by state and local governments. Whether our networks or our services are regulated or unregulated depends on numerous factors, including but not limited to whether we offer telecommunications service, as defined in state and federal laws, or cable service. The construction and maintenance of our fiber optic networks may face local regulation that can adversely impact the timing or our deployment. Certain of our services that are provided via wireless transmission require FCC licenses and our local video and other services often require local government franchises. The local government franchises often impose certain obligations to build out the network and require payment of fees to the local government, which fees are often are based on a percentage of gross revenues. In private communities and mobile home parks, we may be required to obtain the consent of the homeowners association or other property owners to provide services, and we often have to pay a fee to obtain access to the property and provide our services. Finally, to deploy our networks, we frequently must obtain agreements from local power utilities to use their poles and in some cases easements from landowners.

**Acquisition and Financing Strategy**

***Acquisition Selection** **.*** Our management will have broad discretion in identifying and selecting prospective target acquisitions. In evaluating a prospective target acquisition, our management will consider, among other factors, the following:

● Management's understanding of the business and its competitive environment;

● Management's view of the business durability, capital intensity, and prospective returns on the capital employed over time;

● Management's assessment of the financial attractiveness of a particular target relative to other available targets; and

● Capital requirements and management's assessment of the ability to finance a particular target.

***Issuance of senior and additional securities.*** To the extent that our Board of Directors determines to obtain additional capital, it may issue debt or equity securities. Existing stockholders have no preemptive rights to common or preferred stock issued in any securities offering by us, and any such offering might cause a dilution of a stockholder's investment in our Company. We have raised over $445 million in net proceeds through underwritten public offerings conducted in 2017, 2020 and 2021, our 2018 Private Placement, and through "at the market" offerings conducted between 2018 and 2023.

***Borrowing of money.*** On August 12, 2019, Link entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with First National Bank of Omaha (the "Lender") under which Link could borrow up to $40 million (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement provided for an initial term loan ("Term Loan 1"), an incremental term loan ("Term Loan 2") and a revolving line of credit. Link initially borrowed approximately $18 million under Term Loan 1 and $5.5 million under Term Loan 2. On December 6, 2021, Link entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment"), that modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the borrowing limit to $30 million and combining the outstanding balances under Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 as well as any incremental borrowings into a term loan ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan is secured by all assets of Link and its operating subsidiaries, including a pledge of equity interests of each of Link's subsidiaries. In addition, each of Link's subsidiaries has joined as a guarantor to the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The loan is not guaranteed by Boston Omaha or any of our non-billboard businesses. As we continue to expand our billboard business through acquisitions, we may seek to increase the funds available to us through this Credit Facility or with a different lender. Principal amounts under the Term Loan are payable in monthly installments according to a 25-year amortization schedule. Principal payments commenced on July 1, 2020 for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan 1 and October 1, 2020 for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan 2. The Term Loan is payable in full on December 6, 2028. The Term Loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum. On May 30, 2024, Link entered into a Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. Interest payments are based on the U.S. Prime Rate minus an applicable margin ranging between 0.65% and 1.15% dependent on Link's consolidated leverage ratio. On October 20, 2025, Link entered into a Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by extending the revolving line of credit maturity date and updating the definition of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The revolving line of credit is now due and payable on August 12, 2029. Under the Term Loan, Link is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of Link (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and (c) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027 and thereafter of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly, based on rolling four quarters. Link was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025. The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender may accelerate the loan. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loan will automatically accelerate.

On September 17, 2024, three operating subsidiaries of BOB entered into a Credit Agreement (the "BOB Credit Agreement") also with First National Bank of Omaha under which certain subsidiaries of BOB could borrow up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate in term loans (the "BOB Credit Facility"). The three operating subsidiaries which are the borrowers under the BOB Credit Agreement are AireBeam, InfoWest and UBB (collectively, the "Borrowers"). The loan is guaranteed by BOB but is not guaranteed by BOC or any other businesses owned by BOC and its other subsidiaries. The BOB Credit Agreement was subsequently split into separate credit agreements with each of the Borrowers in order to allow certain borrowers to apply for federal loan funding, hereinafter referred to as the "BOB Credit Agreements." All material terms of the original BOB Credit Agreement remain unchanged in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for FIF Airebeam, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC and the Credit Agreement for FIF Utah, LLC. The loans under the BOB Credit Agreements are secured by all assets of each of the Borrowers. Funds available under the BOB Credit Facility are to be used for capital expenditures associated with capital acquisition and leasing of capital equipment for expansion of the Borrowers' businesses and must be drawn by December 31, 2025. The BOB Credit Agreements provided for incremental drawdowns of the term loan in minimum increments of $1,000,000. Each term loan is due five years following the borrowing date of such term loan. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding term loan end dates range from October 1, 2029 to November 18, 2030. Principal under each term loan is amortized in equal monthly payments over a 10-year period from the date of each term loan. Interest under each term loan accrues at the "Applicable Margin," which is set at (a) 2.75% per annum with respect to any SOFR Loan, and (b) 1.75% per annum with respect to any Base Rate Loan. There is a fee during the first year of the BOB Credit Facility equal to 0.25% of any unused portion of the $20 million loan commitment. Pursuant to the BOB Credit Agreements, BOB is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of BOB of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly, based on rolling four quarters, and maximum capital expenditures not exceeding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less dividends and distributions paid to BOB, the cash portion of taxes, unfinanced maintenance capital expenditures, principal amortization payments or redemptions on indebtedness to be paid in cash, cash payments made with respect to capital lease obligations during the period, and cash interest expense for the period. BOB was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025. The BOB Credit Agreements include representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender may accelerate the loan. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loan will automatically accelerate. All assets of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and BOB are secured by the grant of a security interest in substantially all of their assets to the Lender.

Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 consists of approximately $14,000,000 under BOB's credit facility, of which approximately $1,500,000 is classified as current, and approximately $34,800,000 under Link's credit facility, of which approximately $890,000 is classified as current and $9,100,000 is related to its revolving line of credit. Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 consisted of approximately $3,400,000 under BOB's credit facility, of which approximately $350,000 was classified as current, and $36,123,138 under Link's credit facility, of which $851,444 was classified as current and $9,600,000 was related to its revolving line of credit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 11

We may in the future use a number of different sources to finance our acquisitions and operations, including cash flows from operations, seller financing, private financings (such as bank credit facilities, which may or may not be secured by our assets), additional common or preferred equity issuances or any combination of these sources, to the extent available to us, or other sources that may become available from time to time, which could include asset sales and issuance of debt securities. Any debt that we incur may be recourse or non-recourse and may be secured or unsecured. We also may take advantage of joint venture or other partnering opportunities as such opportunities arise in order to acquire properties that would otherwise be unavailable to us.

In addition, we have applied for federal loan and grant programs which would help to defray the costs of broadband buildout in rural and other underserved areas. The Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment Program ("BEAD") is a $42.45 billion federal initiative, funded by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, aimed at providing high-speed internet to all unserved and underserved locations across 56 U.S. states and territories. Administered by the NTIA, it prioritizes fiber deployment to bridge the digital divide, with funds distributed to states for infrastructure projects, mapping, and adoption. Similarly, the ReConnect Loan and Grant Program furnishes loans and grants to provide funds for the costs of construction, improvement, or acquisition of facilities and equipment needed to provide broadband service in eligible rural areas.

To date, BOB, through its subsidiaries, has applied for both ReConnect and BEAD funding and may apply in the future for funding under the program to further develop broadband services in certain locations. The BEAD and ReConnect programs are highly competitive and if BOB and its subsidiaries are successful in being awarded such funding, federal and state regulations place significant requirements on grantees to comply with numerous regulations and provides for penalties and reimbursement of grants under certain circumstances. This year, BOB has received notice of awards under both programs, which awards are subject to completion of certain closing conditions. The first award is under the ReConnect program for approximately $23 million of funding, half of which will be in the form of a grant and half of which will be in the form of long-term debt available as requested by BOB in multiple draw downs, to deploy fiber to approximately 3,000 locations within UBB's surrounding markets. The loan portion is a 20 year term loan under advantageous interest rates and which we, as the ultimate parent of UBB, must guarantee. Under the BEAD program, two of our broadband subsidiaries have received notice that they have been tentatively selected (subject to completion of final documentation) to receive awards of approximately $14 million in the aggregate of grant funding to deploy fiber to approximately 2,000 locations. These broadband subsidiaries will be required to 'match' approximately $5 million of the BEAD grant, half of which will be funded in cash and half of which will be funded in-kind.

We may use the proceeds of any future borrowings to acquire assets or for general corporate purposes. We expect to use leverage on terms we find attractive, assessing the appropriateness of new equity or debt capital based on market conditions, including assumptions regarding future cash flow, the creditworthiness of customers and future rental rates. Our certificate of incorporation, which, as amended from time to time, we refer to as our "certificate of incorporation" and bylaws, which, as amended from time to time, we refer to as our "bylaws," do not limit the amount of debt that we may incur. Our Board of Directors has not adopted a policy limiting the total amount of debt that we may incur, but will consider a number of factors in evaluating the amount of debt that we may incur. If we adopt a debt policy, our Board of Directors may from time to time modify such policy in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the market price of our common stock if then trading on any exchange, growth and acquisition opportunities, and other factors. Our decision to use leverage in the future to finance our assets will be at our discretion and will not be subject to the approval of our stockholders, and we are not restricted by our governing documents or otherwise in the amount of leverage that we may use.

***Purchase and sale (or turnover) of acquired businesses.*** Our strategy is to acquire assets which have the potential to generate significant cash flow over an extended period of time. We reserve the right to dispose of a business or subset of a business unit if, based upon management's periodic review of our portfolio, our Board of Directors determines that such action would be in our best interest.

***Offering of securities in exchange for property.*** We may in the future issue shares of our Class A common stock in connection with acquisitions of other businesses. For issuances of shares in connection with acquisitions, our Board of Directors will determine the timing and size of the issuances. Our Board of Directors intends to use its reasonable business judgment to fulfill its fiduciary obligations to our then existing stockholders in connection with any such issuance, including its determination of whether the issuance is accretive to intrinsic value. Nonetheless, future issuances of additional shares could cause immediate and substantial dilution to the net tangible book value of shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding immediately before such transaction. In addition, we may have sellers roll over a portion of their equity holdings into an equity holding in the newly acquired business. In those situations, we may provide the seller with an option to put its holding to us and similarly, we may have an option to purchase the rollover equity stake. Any future decrease in the net tangible book value of such issued and outstanding shares could materially and adversely affect the market value of shares of our Class A common stock.

***Share repurchase program.*** On November 14, 2025, the Board approved and authorized a share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which we announced our intention to repurchase up to $30 million of our Class A common stock, from time to time, in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board also authorized the Company, in its discretion, to also establish "Rule 10b5-1 trading plans" for these share repurchases. The Share Repurchase Program went into effect on or about November 18, 2025 and will terminate on December 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated in the discretion of the Board. The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in applicable SEC regulations, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, the Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares of its Class A common stock and shall not repurchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its stock over the previous 20 trading days. During the year ending December 31, 2025, we repurchased 444,753 shares of our Class A common stock for a total cost of approximately $5,800,000.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

An investment in shares of our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the risks discussed below, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially adversely affected. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we deem immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business' financial condition, results of operations or prospects. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur. In that case, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment.

**Risks Related to the Company and Our Business** 

***We have incurred losses from operations since inception and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.***

We have incurred losses from operations in each year since 2015, when Magnolia and Boulderado purchased majority ownership in the company, sold the prior business and commenced new business activities. Our net loss from operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $3.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively. We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of securities. In addition, as we acquire other businesses, we incur ongoing depreciation and amortization charges, which are typically spread over a number of years, as well as the costs of completing such acquisitions, which are expensed as incurred. Our losses may also include our pro rata portion of losses incurred by Sky Harbour as we account for our investment in Sky Harbour under the equity method of accounting. For these reasons, we may continue to incur significant losses. These losses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders' equity and working capital and we cannot assure you that we will be able to be successful in implementing our business strategy.

***Our failure to successfully identify and complete future acquisitions of assets or businesses could reduce future potential earnings,** **reduce** **available cash and slow our anticipated growth.***

The acquisition of assets or businesses that we believe to be valuable to our business is an important component to our business strategy. We believe that a wide variety of acquisition opportunities may arise from time to time, and that any such acquisition could be significant. At any given time, discussions with one or more potential sellers may be at different stages, including negotiations following the execution of nonbinding letters of intent. However, any such discussions, including the execution of nonbinding letters of intent, may not result in the consummation of an acquisition transaction, and we may not be able to identify or complete any acquisitions. The costs and benefits of future acquisitions are uncertain. In addition, the market and industry reception to our acquisitions, or lack thereof, may not be positive, and is out of our control. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that any announcement or consummation of an acquisition would have on the trading price of our Class A common stock. If we identify appropriate acquisition targets, we may be unable to acquire businesses on terms that we consider acceptable due to a variety of factors, including competition from other strategic buyers or financial buyers, some of which may have more experience or more access to capital than we do.

Our business is capital intensive and any such transactions could involve the payment by us of a substantial amount of cash. We may need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings to execute our growth strategy and to fund acquisitions. Adequate sources of capital may not be available when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional capital by issuing additional equity securities, the position of existing stockholders may be diluted. Acquisitions could also result in us incurring additional debt and contingent liabilities and fluctuations in quarterly results and expenses. If our capital resources are insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.

Any future acquisitions could present a number of risks, including but not limited to the risk of using management time and resources to pursue acquisitions that are not successfully completed, the risk of incorrect assumptions regarding future results of acquired operations, and the risk of diversion of management's attention from existing operations or other priorities. Future acquisitions can also be expected to generate additional depreciation and amortization charges which may contribute to losses. Acquisitions may never meet our expectations.

If we are unsuccessful in identifying and completing acquisitions of other operations or assets, our financial condition could be adversely affected and we may be unable to implement an important component of our business strategy successfully.

***We may have difficulty integrating the operations of companies or businesses that we may acquire and may incur substantial costs in connection therewith.***

A significant component of our growth strategy is the acquisition of other operations. The process of integrating the operations of an acquired company may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The key areas where we may face risks and uncertainties include:

● disruption of ongoing business, diversion of resources and of management time and focus from operating our business to acquisitions and integration challenges;

● our ability to achieve anticipated benefits of acquisitions by successfully marketing the service offerings of acquired businesses to our existing partners and customers, or by successfully marketing our existing service offerings to customers and partners of acquired businesses;

● the negative impact of acquisitions on our results of operations as a result of large one-time charges, substantial debt or liabilities acquired or incurred, litigation, amortization or write down of amounts related to deferred compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets, adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges;

● the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs;

● the need to ensure that we comply with all regulatory requirements in connection with and following the completion of acquisitions;

● the possibility of acquiring unknown or unanticipated contingencies or liabilities;

● retaining employees and clients and otherwise preserving the value of the assets of the businesses we acquire;

● the need to integrate each acquired business's accounting, information technology, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management; and

● the need to implement or remediate appropriate controls, procedures and policies at companies that, prior to the acquisition, lacked these controls, procedures and policies.

In order to achieve the growth we seek, we may acquire numerous smaller market participants, which could require significant attention from management and increase risks, costs and uncertainties associated with integration. The businesses and other assets we acquire in the future may not achieve sufficient revenue or profitability to justify our investment, and any difficulties we may encounter in the integration process could interfere with our operations and reduce operating margins. We may need to make substantial capital and operating expenditures which may negatively impact our results in the near term, and the acquisitions may never meet our expectations. We continuously evaluate each of our business units and subsets of these business units and may elect to sell all or a portion of a business segment as determined by our board of directors. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, the sale of the disposed unit may disrupt operations, cause key talent loss, or create difficulties in separating shared services, impacting the remaining business's financial performance. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, we may may fail to secure a buyer, fail to consummate the transaction, or face prolonged closing timelines due to delays in obtaining any required approvals by government agencies or our lenders. Divestitures can also result in reduced cash flow, unexpected tax consequences, or the need to write down goodwill associated with the disposed business unit.

***Increased operating expenses associated with the expansion of our business may negatively impact our operating income.***

Increased operating expenses associated with any expansion of our business may negatively impact our income as we, among other things:

● seek to acquire related businesses or expand the products being offered;

● expand geographically;

● make significant capital expenditures to support our ability to provide services in our existing businesses;

● incur significant depreciation and amortization charges in connection with acquired businesses; and

● incur increased general and administrative expenses as we grow.

As a result of these factors, we may not achieve, sustain, or increase our profitability on an ongoing basis.

***We could suffer losses due to asset impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets.***

In addition to our review for possible impairment charges to securities we hold, we annually test goodwill for impairment and did so as of October 1, 2025. Based on our review at October 1, 2025, no impairment charge was required. We continue to assess whether factors or indicators become apparent that would require an interim impairment test between our annual impairment test dates. For example, if our market capitalization is below our equity book value for a period of time without recovery, we believe there is a strong presumption that would indicate a triggering event has occurred and it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of our reporting units are below their carrying amount. This would require us to test the reporting units for impairment of goodwill. If this presumption cannot be overcome a reporting unit could be impaired under ASC 350, *Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets* and a non-cash charge would be required. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

***We may raise additional equity capital through additional public or private placements** **, and issue equity securities under our 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan,** **any of** **which could substantially dilute your investment.***

If we sell shares or other equity securities in one or more other transactions, or issue stock, stock options or other securities pursuant to our current 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2022 Incentive Plan"), investors may be materially diluted by such subsequent issuances. Although our plan is to not raise additional funding in the near-term through the sale of our securities, we may need significant additional capital in the future to continue our planned acquisitions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such funds upon favorable terms and conditions, if at all. Failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell Class A common stock, convertible securities or other equity or convertible securities in one or more transactions that may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, antidilution, and conversion and redemption rights, subject to applicable law, and at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. Such issuances and the exercise of any convertible securities will dilute the percentage ownership of our stockholders and may affect the value of our capital stock and could adversely affect the rights of the holders of such stock, thereby reducing the value of such stock. Moreover, any exercise of convertible securities may adversely affect the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital, since the holders of such convertible securities can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, not be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided in such convertible securities.

Our 2022 Incentive Plan allows us to issue up to a total of 1,575,000 shares of Class A common stock (as defined under the Plan). In addition, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards will automatically increase, on February 1st of each calendar year, for a period ending on (and including) February 1, 2032 (each, an "Evergreen Date") in an amount such that both the total number of shares of stock available and previously issued under the 2022 Incentive Plan shall equal five percent (5%) or such lesser amount outstanding as may be determined by our Board of Directors on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date. The number of shares of stock will also be adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization or other change in our capital structure, plus any shares that are subject to awards that expire or are terminated or cancelled without the delivery of shares. To date, we have issued 175,559 shares of our Class A common stock under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

We may in the future file a new shelf registration statement which would allow us, from time to time, in one or more offerings, to offer and sell Class A common stock or preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants. We or any selling security holders may offer these securities from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of the offering. We may sell these securities to or through one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, or directly to purchasers on a delayed or continuous basis. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities that we may offer for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, financing our existing businesses and operations, and expanding our businesses and operations through additional hires, strategic alliances, and acquisitions. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by any selling stockholders.

****We may incur potential future impairment charges for holdings in Sky Harbour Group Corporation Class A common stock and other investments and potential volatility in earnings due to our investments in Sky Harbour Group Corporation*** ***and other public securities.****

The value of the Class A common stock and warrants we hold in Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE:SKYH), which we refer to as Sky Harbour, through our subsidiaries is subject to the volatility of the market price of Sky Harbour's Class A common stock. This volatility subjects our financial statements to volatility. The market price of Sky Harbour's Class A common stock has experienced significant volatility since it commenced trading on January 26, 2022, and that volatility may continue in the future and may also be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including factors beyond the control of Sky Harbour. These factors include, but are not limited to:

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in Sky Harbour's reported results of operations or financial position, including a significant impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, or other long lived assets;

● recommendations and reports by securities analysts;

● Sky Harbour's ability to timely complete the construction of its various airport hangar developments at originally projected costs and its ability to successfully lease these facilities at profitable rental rates;

● Sky Harbour's ability to continue to access capital and debt on commercially reasonable terms;

● changes in the performance or market valuations of companies in Sky Harbour's industry;

● addition or departure of Sky Harbour's executive officers or other key personnel;

● speculative trading activity by certain investors;

● the impact of inflation and any possible recession on Sky Harbour's operations, revenues, and ability to access financial markets as well as on the private jet hangar industry generally;

● fluctuations in the costs of construction, maintenance, and other materials and services;

● news reports relating to trends, concerns, economic or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in Sky Harbour's industry or target markets; and

● announcement of developments and material events by Sky Harbour or its competitors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We currently account for our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock under the equity method. We have evaluated our investment in Sky Harbour as of December 31, 2025, and determined that there was not an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) our assessment that the underlying business and financial condition of Sky Harbour is favorable, (ii) Sky Harbour's stock price trading above our carrying value for an extended period of time, and (iii) our ability and intent to hold the investment. We will continue to review our investment in Sky Harbour for an other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis or upon the occurrence of certain events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If Sky Harbour's stock price drops below our carrying value of $6.36 per share for a sustained period of time, it will likely result in an impairment of our investment. As of December 31, 2025, the closing price of Sky Harbour Class A common stock was $8.97 per share and we held 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants to purchase 7,719,779 shares of Class A common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. There may also be a future impairment of our investment if our expectations about Sky Harbour's prospective results of operations and cash flows decline, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including adverse market conditions. As a result, we could incur a material impairment charge at any time in the future if we deem our investment to be impaired. Generally accepted accounting principles require us to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public equity securities in our reported earnings. Due to the size of our percentage ownership interest in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock and our right to elect one of the seven members of Sky Harbour's Board of Directors, our investment is recorded under the equity method and we do not include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's stock price in our reported earnings. In the future, if we are deemed to no longer have significant influence, we may no longer be able to record our investment under the equity method and will be required to include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's stock price in our reported earnings. Such mark to market accounting could result in significant volatility in our earnings based on changes in Sky Harbour's public stock price. While we intend to hold our Sky Harbour Class A common stock for the long term, we may in the future choose to sell all or a portion of our holdings for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.

Similarly, losses in investments in other securities we currently own or which we may acquire in the future could also materially adversely impact our operating results and our stockholders' equity.

***Our significant equity ownership in Sky Harbour Group Corporation's Class A common stock and warrants may make it difficult for us to resell a significant portion of our Sky Harbour Group Corporation securities in a short period of time.* **

In 2020, we acted as the sponsor for the initial public offering of Yellowstone, a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC"). As sponsor, we purchased approximately 3,300,000 shares of Yellowstone Class B common stock at a cost of $25,000 and private placement warrants at a cost of approximately $7.8 million. Between August 1, 2021 and January, 2022, we invested an additional $100 million in purchasing additional securities of Sky Harbour. The first financing in August 2021, in which we acquired 5,500,000 units of Sky Harbour LLC Class B Preferred Units allowed Sky Harbour LLC to consummate a private activity bond financing raising $160 million in proceeds in September 2021. Also, upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination in January 2022, we purchased an additional 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. Upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, our Class B Preferred Units and Class B common stock converted to Class A common stock of Sky Harbour and our private placement warrants are now exercisable to purchase 7,719,779 shares of Class A common stock of Sky Harbour. Each Sky Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with each Sky Warrant being exercisable and non-redeemable. Subsequent to the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, we distributed 75,000 shares of Sky Class A common stock to the outside directors of Yellowstone and 206,250 shares of Sky Class A common stock to an investor in the Yellowstone IPO. To date, we have invested a total of $107.8 million in Sky Harbour. All the shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Sky Harbour Warrants to purchase Class A common stock that we hold have been registered under the Securities Act. Due to the current trading volume of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, we anticipate that it would be difficult to sell any significant amount of our Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Warrants at the present time and for the foreseeable future. As of March 27, 2026, we and our UCS subsidiary collectively owned 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,779 warrants to purchase Sky Harbour Class A common stock.

***Our investments in Sky Harbour Group Corporation's Class A common stock and Sky Warrants and other publicly traded and privately-held securities involve a substantial degree of risk**.*

In addition to our investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and warrants, we have in the past and may continue to hold investments in other public company securities and securities in privately-held companies. Although equity securities have historically generated higher average total returns than fixed-income securities over the long term, equity securities have also generally experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. The publicly traded securities we acquire may fail to appreciate and may decline in value or become worthless. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including the risk of further dilution as a result of additional issuances, inability to access additional capital and failure to pay current distributions. Investments in preferred securities and corporate bonds involve special risks, such as the risk of deferred distributions, credit risk, illiquidity, changes in value based upon interest rates changes and other macroeconomic factors, and limited voting rights. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we may be required to reflect the value of our securities in publicly-traded companies at their current market value as of the end of each fiscal quarter. As a result, this mark-to-market accounting can change values for these types of securities on our balance sheet as market conditions change. Mark-to-market accounting can become volatile if market prices fluctuate greatly and changes in the fair value of investments could significantly impact our reported results.

***We run the risk of inadvertently being deemed an investment company required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940.***

We run the risk of inadvertently being deemed an investment company required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") because a significant portion of our assets consists of investments in companies in which we own less than a majority interest. Although we do not currently hold investments at a value that would cause us to register under the Investment Company act, we could become subject to registration due to events beyond our control, such as significant appreciation or depreciation in the market value of certain of our publicly traded holdings, such as our interest in Sky Harbour, and adverse developments with respect to our ownership of certain of our subsidiaries, transactions involving the sale of certain assets and our participation in any partnership or other fund established to finance future broadband and real estate projects in which we may engage. If we are deemed to be an inadvertent investment company, we may seek to rely on a safe-harbor under the Investment Company Act that would provide us a one-year grace period to take steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company. In order to ensure we avoid being deemed an investment company, we have taken, and may need to continue to take, steps to reduce the percentage of our assets that constitute investment assets under the Investment Company Act. These steps have included, among others, selling marketable securities that we might otherwise have held for the long-term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets. We have recently sold marketable securities, including at times at a loss, and we may be forced to sell our investment assets at unattractive prices or to sell assets that we otherwise believe benefit our business in the future to remain below the requisite threshold. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the Investment Company Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company in accordance with the safe-harbor. If we were unsuccessful, then we would have to register as an investment company, and we would be unable to operate our business in its current form. We would be subject to extensive, restrictive, and potentially adverse statutory provisions and regulations relating to, among other things, operating methods, management, capital structure, indebtedness, dividends, and transactions with affiliates. If we were deemed to be an investment company and did not register as an investment company when required to do so, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could become subject to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties, and/or that third parties could seek to obtain rescission of transactions with us undertaken during the period in which we were an unregistered investment company.

***The existing and future indebtedness incurred by our billboard and broadband businesses may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional funds and may increase our vulnerability to economic or business downturns. Failure to comply with the terms of the indebtedness could result in a default by our billboard or broadband business that could have material adverse consequences for us.***

Link entered into a credit agreement in August 2019 with a commercial bank which provides Link and its subsidiaries the opportunity to borrow through a combination of long-term debt and a line of credit. Link's current borrowings under the bank credit facility as of December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $34,800,000, of which $9,100,000 is related to its revolving line of credit. The remaining balance of the term loan becomes due and payable in 2028 and the revolving line of credit is due in 2029. In September 2024, three operating subsidiaries of BOB entered into a credit agreement with the same commercial bank under which certain subsidiaries of BOB can borrow up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate in term loans. BOB's current borrowings under the bank credit facility as of December 31, 2025 totaled approximately $14,000,000. In addition, Link and BOB may incur additional indebtedness in the future. Accordingly, Link and BOB are subject to the risks associated with significant indebtedness, including:

● Link and BOB must dedicate a portion of their cash flows from operations to pay principal and interest and, as a result, it may have less funds available for operations and other purposes;

● Link and BOB may find it more difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financings, if available at all;

● if Link or BOB defaults under their credit facilities, including failing to pay the outstanding principal when due, and if the lender demands payment of a portion or all the indebtedness, they may not have sufficient funds to make such payments;

● if Link or BOB are unable to refinance indebtedness due to business and market factors, including disruptions in the capital and credit markets, lenders deem the estimated cash flows and assets to be insufficient, and other adverse financial, competitive, business and other factors, including factors beyond Link's and BOB's control;

● if refinanced, the terms of a refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms of the related indebtedness; and

● BOB's debt and Link's line of credit are subject to changes in interest rates.

The occurrence of any of these events could materially adversely affect Link or BOB, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and adversely affect our stock price.

Furthermore, a failure to comply with the obligations contained in the loan agreements governing Link's indebtedness and BOB's indebtedness could result in an event of default under such agreements which could result in an acceleration of debt under other instruments evidencing indebtedness that contains cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions. If Link's indebtedness or BOB's indebtedness were to be accelerated, there can be no assurance that their future cash flow or assets would be sufficient to repay in full such indebtedness.

We may in the future rely in part on Link and BOB to provide us with the funds necessary to make distributions to us to meet our financial obligations. The leverage on Link's assets and BOB's assets may affect the funds available to us if the terms of the debt restrict the ability of Link and BOB to make distributions to us. In addition, Link and BOB will generally have to service their debt obligations before making distributions to us or any of our other subsidiaries and any such distributions may require the consent of the lender. Leverage may also result in a requirement for liquidity, which may force the sale of assets at times of low demand and/or prices for such assets.

We may also incur indebtedness under future credit facilities.

If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties or other assets under disadvantageous terms. In addition, prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase our interest expense, and if we grant a security interest in any of our properties, or the properties of our subsidiaries to secure payment of indebtedness and are unable to make loan payments, the lender could foreclose upon such property.

***Restrictive covenants in Link's indebtedness and BOB's indebtedness may limit management's discretion with respect to certain business matters.***

Instruments governing Link's indebtedness and BOB's indebtedness contain restrictive covenants limiting Link's and BOB's discretion with respect to certain business matters. These covenants could place significant restrictions on, among other things, their ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to make distributions to us or make certain other payments, investments, loans and guarantees, and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with another entity. Covenants also require Link and BOB to meet certain financial ratios and financial condition tests. A failure to comply with any such covenants could result in a default which, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration of the relevant indebtedness.

***If we are unable to manage our interest rate risk effectively, our cash flows and operating results may suffer.***

Advances under Link's $15 million revolving line of credit and BOB's credit facility bear interest at a variable rate. Also, we may be required to refinance our debt at higher rates. Accordingly, increases in interest rates above that which we anticipate based upon historical trends would adversely affect our cash flows and we may not be able to hedge such exposure effectively, if at all.

***We ma** **y raise additional capital pursuant to debt financing, and such debt financing arrangements may contain covenants, which, if not complied with, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.***

Other than the bank borrowings to Link and BOB, to date we have not had a significant debt financing. However, as our operations grow and we achieve certain levels of revenue and cash flows, we may consider utilizing debt to finance additional acquisitions and our operations. Subject to market conditions and availability, we, or our subsidiaries, may incur significant debt through credit facilities (including term loans and/or revolving facilities), structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances or otherwise. Future debt financing arrangements may contain various covenants, including restrictive covenants, which, if not complied with, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our debt obligations and our overall financial condition. Additionally, future debt financing arrangements may be at the subsidiary level, but could include a guaranty by us, and could require a pledge of all or substantially all of our, and/or our subsidiaries' assets.

The amount of leverage we use will vary depending on our available acquisition and investment opportunities, our available capital, our ability to obtain and access financing arrangements with lenders, and the lenders' and our estimates of the stability of our operating cash flows. Our governing documents contain no limit on the amount of debt we may incur, and we may significantly increase the amount of leverage we utilize at any time without approval of our shareholders. The amount of leverage on individual assets may vary, with leverage on some assets substantially higher than others, including at the subsidiary level. Leverage can enhance our potential returns but can also exacerbate our losses.

Incurring additional substantial debt could subject us to many risks that, if realized, would materially and adversely affect us, including the risk that:

● our cash flow from operations may be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest on the debt or we may fail to comply with covenants contained in our debt instruments, which would likely result in (a) acceleration of such debt (and any other debt arrangements containing a cross default or cross acceleration provision) that we may be unable to repay from internal funds, unable to refinance on favorable terms, or unable to repay at all, (b) our inability to borrow additional amounts under other facilities, even if we are current in payments on borrowings under those arrangements and/or (c) the loss of some or all of our assets to foreclosures or forced sales;

● our debt may increase our vulnerability to adverse economic, market and industry conditions;

● we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, future business opportunities, distributions to our shareholders or other purposes; and

● we may not be able to refinance maturing debts.

We cannot be sure that our leverage strategies will be successful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 19

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

***We may be unable to access capital.***

Our access to capital depends on a number of factors, some of which we have little or no control over, including:

● general economic, market or industry conditions;

● the market's view of the quality of our assets;

● the market's perception of our growth potential;

● our current and potential future earnings and distributions to our shareholders; and

● the value of our securities.

We may have to rely on additional equity issuances, which may be dilutive to our shareholders, or on costly debt financings that require a large portion of our cash flow from operations, thereby reducing funds available for our operations, future business opportunities, distributions to our shareholders or other purposes. We cannot be sure that we will have access to such equity or debt capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***We face intense competition, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources than us, and if we are unable to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may decline and our business could be harmed.***

<u>**Outdoor Billboard Advertising**</u>**.** The outdoor billboard industry is highly competitive. There is a concentration in the ownership of billboards in the geographic markets in which we compete and significantly larger companies, such as Clear Channel Outdoor, Outfront Media, and Lamar Advertising Company, own the majority of the out-of-home advertising billboards. Such competition may make it difficult to maintain or increase our current advertising revenues. In addition to competing for advertising revenue with other outdoor advertising businesses, the outdoor advertising market faces competition from other media, including radio, internet based services, print media, television, direct mail, satellite services, and other mobile devices. Our competitors may develop technology, services, or advertising media that are equal or superior to those we provide or that achieve greater market acceptance and brand recognition than we achieve. Also, new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share in any of our business segments. Additionally, increased competition for advertising dollars may lead to lower advertising rates if we are to retain customers or may cause us to lose customers to our competitors who offer lower rates that we are unable or unwilling to match.

<u>**Surety Insurance**</u>**.** Our insurance business operates in an environment that is highly competitive and very fragmented. We will likely compete with other global insurance and reinsurance providers, including but not limited to Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Zurich Insurance Group, Lloyds, and CNA Insurance Group, as well as numerous specialist, regional and local firms in almost every area of our surety business. Further, new competitors may regularly enter the market. In addition to UCS, we also operate a nationwide surety insurance brokerage firm, and the surety insurance brokerage industry has relatively low barriers to entry. We may experience significant competition and our competitors may have greater financial, marketing and human resources than us.

**<u>Broadband Services</u>.** Our broadband services compete with other technologies, including traditional cable services as well as satellite services. These markets are highly competitive, and many traditional providers of cable and wireless services have greater financial, marketing, and human resources than us and may be able to offer additional products and services to our customers. In addition, new technologies may be developed which would provide an alternative to our fiber-to-the-home services we currently provide. As we seek to expand our broadband services, we may face incumbent service providers which would be able to retain a significant customer base in the communities in which we may seek to enter, making it difficult to achieve a share of the market needed to provide our services profitably.

Any additional industries or markets that we may enter, whether through future acquisitions or development of a new business line, will also likely be occupied by established competitors. Many of our current competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, product development, and human resources than we do. Accordingly, even if there is a large market for our products and services in the industries in which we compete, there can be no assurance that our products and services will be purchased by consumers at a rate sufficient for us to achieve our growth objectives.

Our management recognizes that we will, therefore, be forced to compete primarily on the basis of price, location, performance, service, and other factors. Our management believes that our ability to achieve sustained profitability will depend primarily on our ability to consummate acquisitions of assets and businesses in competitive markets, skillfully allocate capital and manage our businesses, and establish competitive advantages in each of our businesses. This approach requires that our management perform at a high level and is fraught with risks, many of which are beyond our control or ability to foresee.

***Adverse economic conditions could negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.***

Our results of operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact consumer and commercial spending, including discretionary spending and the financial impact to consumers and businesses from inflation. Future economic conditions such as employment levels, business conditions, interest rates and tax rates could reduce our revenues. A general reduction in the level of business activity could adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations. Future changes in government regulation and funding could also directly or indirectly adversely impact our businesses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A continued deterioration in general economic conditions may harm our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position. General global and domestic economic conditions directly affect the levels of demand and production of consumer goods, levels of employment, the availability and cost of credit, and ultimately, the demand for our billboard, surety insurance, and broadband products and services and the profitability of our business. Over the past several years, the U.S. economy has experienced inflation, and we have experienced, and may continue to experience, cost inflation across our business lines. Inflation has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher costs, which we may not be able to recover through higher prices charged to our customers or otherwise. Interest rates have increased, which may result in lower consumer demand and higher borrowing costs, and may cause general economic conditions to deteriorate and could impact our cost of borrowing. Also, reduced government spending could impact our operating businesses and result in the loss of programs which may benefit our businesses, such as programs to encourage development of broadband services in underserved areas. Decreases in the value of equity securities our UCS subsidiary owns could require us to provide additional capital to UCS to maintain its level of business under regulatory requirements. Increases in tariffs could adversely impact the costs of materials and our ability to obtain such materials. If global economic conditions continue to deteriorate, economies could experience a recession, which may result in higher unemployment rates, lower disposable income, lower consumer spending, and lower Company earnings and investment. These factors may result in continued lower demand for our products and services and negatively affect our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

***Climate change, severe weather, natural disasters, public health emergencies and other external events could significantly impact our business.***

Severe weather events cannot be predicted and may be exacerbated by global climate change, natural disasters, including hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes, acts of terrorism and other adverse external events. There is continuing uncertainty over what impact these events could have on our surety insurance bond business if claims are made against these bonds due to our customers' inability to meet their contractual obligations due to delays caused by any serious health or other natural disaster. Significant storm damage may impact our transmission capabilities for our broadband services and significant damage could result in a loss of service for an extended period of time. Severe weather and natural disasters could affect travel and transportation which could impact the manner of advertising consumption, and severe weather and natural disasters could impact the structural integrity of our billboards. Similarly, a public health emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse effect on customer demand and our ability to meet such demand. The occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The insurance we maintain against disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case, which could require us to expend significant resources to replace any destroyed assets and materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

***We may be unable to employ a sufficient number of key employees and other experienced or qualified workers.***

The delivery of our services and products requires sales, operations, financial, and underwriting professionals and other personnel with substantial work experience in our lines of business. Workers may choose to pursue employment with our competitors or in fields that offer a more desirable work environment. Our ability to be productive and profitable will depend upon our ability to employ and retain workers with certain backgrounds and experience, such as experienced sales professionals, workers with substantial experience in insurance underwriting, risk and financial analysis, and individuals with broadband operations experience. In addition, our ability to further expand our operations according to geographic demand for our services depends in part on our ability to relocate or increase the size of our qualified and experienced labor force. The demand for experienced workers in our areas of operations can be high, the supply may be limited and we may be unable to relocate our employees from areas of lower utilization to areas of higher demand. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our workers with required experience, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or both. Further, a significant decrease in the wages paid by us or our competitors as a result of reduced industry demand could result in a reduction of the available pool of qualified and experienced individuals, and there is no assurance that the availability of such qualified and experienced labor will improve following a subsequent increase in demand for our services or an increase in wage rates. If any of these events were to occur, our capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential could be impaired.

***We are heavily reliant upon our executive management team.***

We depend heavily on the efforts and services of our executive officers and other members of our management team to manage our operations, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and the senior management of our operating subsidiaries. The unexpected loss or unavailability of key members of management may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. Although our Chief Executive Officer devotes most of his business time to us and is highly active in our management, he expends part of his time on other business ventures. Among other commitments, our Chief Executive Officer is a managing member of separate investment management entities and is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs. This key employee may not be able to dedicate adequate time to our businesses and operations, and we could experience an adverse effect on our operations due to the demands placed on our management team by his other professional obligations.

***Our executive officers and directors may experience a conflict of interest between their duties to us and to affiliated parties.***

***Disruptions to our information technology systems and any cybersecurity breaches could disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.***

The operation of our business depends on our information technology systems. We rely on our information technology systems to effectively manage, among other things, our business data, communications, supply chain, inventory management, customer order entry and order fulfillment, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, human resources benefits and payroll management, compliance with regulatory, legal and tax requirements, and other processes and data necessary to manage our business. Disruptions to our information technology systems, including any disruptions to our current systems and/or as a result of transitioning to additional or replacement information technology systems, as the case may be, could disrupt our business and could result in, among other things, transaction errors, processing inefficiencies, loss of data and the loss of sales and customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. In addition, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from circumstances beyond our control, including, without limitation, fire, natural disasters, power outages, systems disruptions, system conversions, security breaches, cyberattacks, phishing attacks, viruses and/or human error. In any such event, we could be required to make a significant investment to fix or replace our information technology systems, and we could experience interruptions in our ability to service our customers. These risks have been and may continue to be exacerbated as a result of remote working. Any such damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

In addition, as part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain confidential information, including personal information with respect to customers, consumers and employees, and the success of our operations depends on the secure transmission of confidential and personal data over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. We may share some of this information with vendors who assist us with certain aspects of our business. Any failure on our part or our vendors to maintain the security of this confidential data and personal information, including via the penetration of our network security (or those of our vendors) and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation, any or all of which could result in our incurring potentially substantial costs. Such events could also result in the deterioration of confidence in us by employees, consumers, and customers and cause other competitive disadvantages. In addition, a security or data privacy breach could require us to expend significant additional resources to enhance our information security systems and could result in a disruption to our operations. Furthermore, third parties, such as our suppliers and retail consumers, may also rely on information technology and be subject to such cybersecurity breaches. These breaches may negatively impact their businesses, which could in turn disrupt our supply chain and/or our business operations. Due to the potential significant costs, business disruption and reputational damage that typically accompany a cyberattack or cybersecurity breach, any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Our information technology systems, or those of our third-party service providers, may be accessed by unauthorized users such as cyber criminals as a result of a disruption, cyberattack or other security breach. Cyberattacks and other cybersecurity incidents are occurring more frequently, are constantly evolving in nature, are becoming more sophisticated and are being made by groups and individuals with a wide range of expertise and motives. Such cyberattacks and cyber incidents can take many forms, including cyber extortion, social engineering, password theft or introduction of viruses or malware, such as ransomware through phishing emails. As techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, a disruption, cyberattack or other security breach of our information technology systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party service providers, may go undetected for an extended period and could result in the theft, transfer, unauthorized access to, disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of our, employee, representative, customer, vendor, consumer and/or other third-party data, including sensitive or confidential data and personal information. We cannot guarantee that our security efforts will prevent breaches or breakdowns of our or our third-party service providers' information technology systems.

***Changes in laws and regulations governing data privacy and data protection could have a material adverse impact on our business.***

We are subject to data privacy laws and regulations that apply to the collection, transmission, storage and use of personally identifiable information, as well as numerous other countries', federal and state privacy and breach notification laws. While we continue to assess and address the implications of existing and new regulations relating to data privacy, the evolving regulatory landscape presents a number of legal and operational challenges, and our efforts to comply may be unsuccessful. We may also face audits or investigations by one or more government agencies relating to our compliance with these regulations that could result in the imposition of penalties or fines, significant expenses in facilitating and responding to the investigations, and overall reputational harm or negative publicity. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Governmental regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

<u>**Outdoor Billboard**</u><u>**Advertising**</u>**.** Our billboard businesses are regulated by governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These regulations could limit our growth by putting constraints on the number, location and timing of billboards we wish to erect. New regulations and changes to existing regulations may also curtail our ability to expand our billboard business and adversely affect us by reducing our revenues or increasing our operating expenses. For example, settlements between major tobacco companies and all U.S. states and certain U.S. territories include a ban on the outdoor advertising of certain types of tobacco products. Alcohol products and other products may be future targets of advertising bans, and legislation, litigation or out-of-court settlements may result in the implementation of additional advertising restrictions that impact our business. Any significant reduction in alcohol-related advertising or the advertising of other products due to content-related restrictions could negatively impact our revenues generated from such businesses and cause an increase in the existing inventory of available outdoor billboard space throughout the industry.

<u>**Surety Insurance**</u>**.** We are subject to maintaining compliance within the highly regulated insurance industry as we continue our pursuit of opportunities in that market, including the maintenance of certain levels of operating capital and reserves. Generally, the extensive regulations are designed to benefit or protect policyholders, rather than our investors, or to reduce systemic financial risk. Failure to comply with these regulations could lead to disciplinary action, the imposition of penalties and the revocation of our authorization to operate in the insurance industry. Changes to the regulatory environment in the insurance industry may cause us to adjust our views or practices regarding regulatory risk management and necessitate changes to our operations that may limit our growth or have an adverse impact on our business.

**<u>Broadband Services</u>.** The building and delivery of our broadband services is subject to regulation by both the FCC and county and local governments. Failure to comply with these regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and ultimately the revocation of our authorization to provide these services. As technology changes continue in this market, new regulations may impose additional regulatory burdens and costs that could have an adverse impact on our business.

Any future legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative actions may increase our costs or impose additional restrictions on our businesses, some of which may be significant. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any of these potential actions or any other legislative or regulatory proposals on our businesses. In addition, certain of the other new markets and industries that we may choose to enter may be regulated by a variety of federal, state and local agencies. Similarly, our investments in other companies, including the home building and consumer auto lending markets, are highly regulated by federal and other governmental agencies.

***Our surety insurance business is subject to extensive insurance regulation, which may adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. In addition, if we fail to comply with these regulations, we may be subject to penalties, including fines and suspensions, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Failure to maintain our A.M. Best current rating or our U.S. Treasury Department listing would significantly impact our ability to operate effectively in the surety market.***

Our insurance subsidiary, UCS, is subject to extensive regulation in Nebraska, its state of domicile, and to a lesser degree, the other states in which it operates. Most insurance regulations are designed to protect the interests of insurance policyholders, as opposed to the interests of investors or stockholders. These regulations generally are administered by a department of insurance in each state and relate to, among other things, authorizations to write excess and surplus lines of business, capital and surplus requirements, investment and underwriting limitations, affiliate transactions, dividend limitations, changes in control, solvency and a variety of other financial and non-financial aspects of our business. Significant changes in these laws and regulations could further limit our discretion or make it more expensive to conduct our business. State insurance regulators also conduct periodic examinations of the affairs of insurance companies and require the filing of annual and other reports relating to financial condition, holding company issues and other matters. These regulatory requirements may impose timing and expense constraints that could adversely affect our ability to achieve some or all of our business objectives.

In addition, state insurance regulators have broad discretion to deny or revoke licenses for various reasons, including the violation of regulations. In some instances, where there is uncertainty as to applicability, we follow practices based on our interpretations of regulations or practices that we believe generally to be followed by the industry. These practices may turn out to be different from the interpretations of regulatory authorities. If we do not have the requisite licenses and approvals or do not comply with applicable regulatory requirements, state insurance regulators could preclude or temporarily suspend us from carrying on some or all of our activities or could otherwise penalize us. This could adversely affect our ability to operate our business. Further, changes in the level of regulation of the insurance industry or changes in laws or regulations themselves or interpretations by regulatory authorities could interfere with our operations and require us to bear additional costs of compliance, which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

The NAIC has adopted a system to test the adequacy of capital of insurance companies, known as "risk-based capital." The risk-based capital formula establishes the minimum amount of capital necessary for a company to support its overall business operations. It identifies property and casualty insurers that may be inadequately capitalized by looking at three major areas: 1) Asset Risk; 2) Underwriting Risk; and 3) Other Risk. Insurers falling below a calculated threshold may be subject to varying degrees of regulatory action, including supervision, rehabilitation, or liquidation. Failure to maintain our risk-based capital at the required levels could adversely affect the ability of our insurance subsidiary to maintain regulatory authority to conduct our business. Also, failure to maintain our U.S. Treasury Department listing or our A.M. Best A– ("Excellent") rating would significantly impact our ability to operate effectively in the surety markets.

Because we are a holding company with no business operations of our own, our ability to pay dividends to stockholders will likely depend in significant part on dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries, including our insurance subsidiary, UCS. State insurance laws, including the laws of Nebraska, restrict the ability of UCS to declare stockholder dividends and bond rating agencies may also limit our ability to declare dividends if they were to seek to lower our bond rating due to lack of capital. State insurance regulators require insurance companies to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and surplus. Consequently, dividend distribution is limited by Nebraska law. State insurance regulators have broad powers to prevent the reduction of statutory surplus to inadequate levels, and there is no assurance that dividends up to the maximum amounts calculated under any applicable formula would be permitted. Moreover, state insurance regulators that have jurisdiction over the payment of dividends by our insurance subsidiary may in the future adopt statutory provisions more restrictive than those currently in effect. UCS may only declare and pay dividends to us after all of UCS's obligations and regulatory requirements with the Nebraska Department of Insurance have been satisfied.

The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our Class A common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on many factors.

***We may be unable to obtain reinsurance coverage at reasonable prices or on terms that adequately protect us.***

We use reinsurance to help manage our exposure to insurance risks. Reinsurance is a practice whereby one insurer, called the reinsurer, agrees to indemnify another insurer, called the ceding insurer, for all or part of the potential liability arising from one or more insurance policies issued by the ceding insurer. The availability and cost of reinsurance is subject to prevailing market conditions, both in terms of price and available capacity, which can affect our business volume and profitability. In addition, reinsurance programs are generally subject to renewal on an annual basis and reinsurance coverage may be cancelled or reduced in amount and scope of coverage. We may not be able to obtain reinsurance in acceptable amounts and/or on acceptable terms from entities with satisfactory creditworthiness. If we are unable to obtain new reinsurance facilities or renew expiring facilities, our net exposures would increase and we may not be able to maintain certain customer accounts. In such event, if we are unwilling to bear an increase in our net exposure, we would have to reduce the level of our underwriting commitments, which would reduce our revenues.

Many reinsurance companies have begun to exclude certain coverages from, or alter terms in, the reinsurance contracts. For example, many reinsurance policies now exclude coverage of terrorism. As a result, we, like other direct insurance companies, write insurance policies which to some extent do not have the benefit of reinsurance protection. These gaps in reinsurance protection expose us to greater risk and greater potential losses. In addition, the cost for reinsurance has risen significantly over the past several years and future increases in the cost of reinsurance and any increases in the retention amount of such policies could impact the operating results of our surety insurance business.

***Our insurance employees could take excessive risks, which could negatively affect our financial condition and business.***

As a business which anticipates it will derive a significant portion of its business from the sale of surety and other insurance products, we are in the business of binding certain risks. The employees who conduct our business, including executive officers and other members of management, underwriters, product managers and other employees, do so in part by making decisions and choices that involve exposing us to risk. These include decisions such as setting underwriting guidelines and standards, product design and pricing, determining which business opportunities to pursue and other decisions. We endeavor, in the design and implementation of our compensation programs and practices, to avoid giving our employees incentives to take excessive risks. However, employees may take such risks regardless of the structure of our compensation programs and practices. Similarly, although we employ controls and procedures designed to monitor employees' business decisions and prevent them from taking excessive risks, these controls and procedures may not be effective. If our employees take excessive risks, the impact of those risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business operations.

***If actual insurance claims exceed our claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or if changes in the estimated level of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves are necessary, our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.***

As we grow our insurance operations, we will continue to establish loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. These reserves will not represent an exact calculation of liability, but instead will represent management's estimates of what the ultimate settlement and administration of claims will cost, generally utilizing actuarial expertise and projection techniques, at a given accounting date. We do not currently have a long history of national underwriting experience and, as a result, rely on generally available industry data in establishing loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, and our estimates may be materially different from actual losses and adjustments incurred.

The process of estimating claims and claim adjustment expense reserves involves a high degree of judgment and is subject to a number of variables. These variables can be affected by both internal and external events, such as:

● changes in claims handling procedures;

● adverse changes in loss cost trends;

● economic conditions including general inflation which may more adversely impact certain portions of the markets in which we sell surety insurance, such as private and public construction projects.

● legal trends and legislative changes;

● limited claims experience in newer insurance products; and

● varying judgments and viewpoints of the individuals involved in the estimation process, among others.

The impact of many of these items on ultimate costs for claims and claim adjustment expenses will be difficult to estimate. We also expect that claims and claim adjustment expense reserve estimation difficulties will also differ significantly by product line due to differences in claim complexity, the volume of claims, the potential severity of individual claims, the determination of occurrence date for a claim and reporting lags (the time between the occurrence of the policyholder event and when it is actually reported to the insurer).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 25

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

The estimation of claims and claim adjustment expense reserves may also be more difficult during times of adverse or uncertain economic conditions due to unexpected changes in behavior of claimants and policyholders, including an increase in fraudulent reporting of exposures and/or losses, reduced maintenance of insured properties, increased frequency of small claims or delays in the reporting of claims, the impact of inflation on the cost of services and materials, and the ability of the principal to repay the surety company for any claims the surety company must pay.

We attempt to consider all significant facts and circumstances known at the time claims and claim adjustment expense reserves are established or reviewed. Due to the inherent uncertainty underlying claims and claim adjustment expense reserve estimates, the final resolution of the estimated liability for claims and claim adjustment expenses will likely be higher or lower than the related claims and claim adjustment expense reserves at the reporting date. Therefore, actual paid losses in the future may yield a materially different amount than will be currently reserved.

Because of the uncertainties set forth above, additional liabilities resulting from an accumulation of insured events, may exceed the current related reserves. In addition, our estimate of claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and/or our financial position.

***Our efforts to develop new insurance products or expand in targeted markets may not be successful and may create enhanced risks.***

A number of our planned business initiatives in the insurance markets we intend to serve will involve developing new products or expanding existing products in targeted markets. This includes the following efforts, from time to time, to protect or grow market share:

● We may develop products that insure risks we have not previously insured, contain new coverage or coverage terms or contain different commission terms;

● We may refine our underwriting processes;

● We may seek to expand distribution channels; and

● We may focus on geographic markets within or outside of the United States where we have had relatively little or no market share;

● We may not be successful in introducing new products or expanding in targeted markets and, even if successful, these efforts may create enhanced risks;

● Demand for new products or in new markets may not meet our expectations;

● To the extent we are able to market new products or expand in new markets, our risk exposures may change, and the data and models we use to manage such exposures may not be as sophisticated or effective as those we use in existing markets or with existing products. This, in turn, could lead to losses in excess of our expectations;

● Models underlying underwriting and pricing decisions may not be effective;

● Efforts to develop new products or markets have the potential to create or increase distribution channel conflict;

● To develop new products or markets, we may need to make substantial capital and operating expenditures, which may also negatively impact results in the near term;

● Efforts to develop new products or markets have the potential to create or increase distribution channel conflict; and

● If our efforts to develop new products or expand in targeted markets are not successful, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

***Adverse economic factors, including recession, inflation, periods of high unemployment or lower economic activity could result in the sale of fewer surety policies than expected or an increase in frequency or severity of claims and premium defaults or both, which, in turn, could affect the growth and profitability of our surety insurance business.***

Factors, such as business revenue, economic conditions, natural disasters, the volatility and strength of the capital markets and inflation can affect the business and economic environment. These same factors affect our ability to generate revenue and profits. In an economic downturn that is characterized by higher unemployment, declining spending and reduced corporate revenues, the demand for insurance products is generally adversely affected, which directly affects our premium levels and profitability. Negative economic factors may also affect our ability to receive the appropriate rate for the risk we insure with our policyholders and may adversely affect the number of policies we can write, including with respect to our opportunities to underwrite profitable business. In an economic downturn, our customers may have less need for insurance coverage. A decline in our financial strength rating may adversely affect the amount of business we write.

Participants in the insurance industry use ratings from independent ratings agencies, such as A.M. Best, as an important means of assessing the financial strength and quality of insurers. In setting its ratings, A.M. Best uses a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a company's balance sheet strength, operating performance and business profile. This analysis includes comparisons to peers and industry standards as well as assessments of operating plans, philosophy and management. A.M. Best financial strength ratings range from "A++" (Superior) to "F" for insurance companies that have been publicly placed in liquidation. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, A.M. Best has assigned a financial strength rating of "A-" (Excellent) to our operating subsidiary, UCS. A.M. Best assigns ratings that are intended to provide an independent opinion of an insurance company's ability to meet its obligations to policyholders and such ratings are not evaluations directed to investors and are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our common stock or any other securities we may issue. A.M. Best periodically reviews our financial strength rating and may revise it downward or revoke it at its sole discretion based primarily on its analysis of our balance sheet strength (including capital adequacy and loss adjustment expense reserve adequacy), operating performance and business profile. Factors that could affect such analysis include but are not limited to:

● if we change our business practices from our organizational business plan in a manner that no longer supports A.M. Best's rating;

● if unfavorable financial, regulatory, reinsurance or market trends affect us, including excess market capacity;

● if our losses exceed our loss reserves or if we incur higher losses which impact our ability to obtain reinsurance at reasonable levels;

● if we have unresolved issues with government regulators;

● if we are unable to retain our senior management or other key personnel;

● if our investment portfolio held by UCS incurs significant losses; or

● if A.M. Best alters its capital adequacy assessment methodology in a manner that would adversely affect our rating.

These and other factors could result in a downgrade of our financial strength rating. A downgrade or withdrawal of our rating could result in any of the following consequences, among others:

● causing our current and future brokers and insureds to choose other, more highly-rated competitors;

● increasing the cost or reducing the availability of reinsurance to us;

● severely limiting or preventing us from writing new insurance contracts; or

● giving any future potential lenders the right to accelerate or call any future debt we may incur.

In addition, in view of the earnings and capital pressures recently experienced by many financial institutions, including insurance companies, it is possible that rating organizations will heighten the level of scrutiny that they apply to such institutions, will increase the frequency and scope of their credit reviews, will request additional information from the companies that they rate or will increase the capital and other requirements employed in the rating organizations' models for maintenance of certain ratings levels. We can offer no assurance that our rating will remain at its current level. It is possible that such reviews of us may result in adverse ratings consequences, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

***We lack operational control over certain companies in which we invest and may lack operational control over companies in which we may invest in the future.***

We have made, and may continue to make, certain strategic investments in various businesses without acquiring all or a majority ownership stake in those businesses. To the extent that such investments represent a minority or passive stake in any business, we may have little to no participation, input or control over the management, policies, and operations of such business. Further, we may lack sufficient ownership of voting securities to impact, without the vote of additional equity holders, any matters submitted to stockholders or members of such business for a vote. We currently lack operational control over our investments in Sky Harbour, CB&T, MyBundle and Logic.

There is inherent risk in making minority equity investments in companies over which we have little to no control. Without control of the management and decision-making of these businesses, we cannot control their direction, strategy, policies and business plans, and we may be powerless to improve any declines in their performance, operating results and financial condition. If any company in which we are a minority investor suffers adverse effects, it may not be able to continue as a going business concern, and we may lose our entire investment.

***We are subject to extensive financial reporting and related requirements for which our accounting and other management systems and resources may not be adequately prepared.***

We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and Section 404(b) requires our independent registered accounting firm to attest to and report on our management's assessment of our internal controls starting with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational and accounting resources. In order to comply with these requirements, we may need to (i) upgrade our systems, (ii) implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, (iii) strengthen our internal audit function, and (iv) hire additional accounting, internal audit and finance staff. If we are unable to accomplish these objectives in a timely and effective manner, our ability to comply with our financial reporting requirements and other rules that apply to reporting companies could be impaired. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a negative impact on our ability to manage our business and on our stock price.

***We may fail to maintain effective internal controls over external financial reporting or such controls may fail or be circumvented.***

Federal securities laws require us to report on our internal controls over financial reporting, and our business and financial results could be adversely affected if we, or our independent registered public accounting firm, determine that these controls are not effective. If we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes, and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, we may be otherwise unable to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC and the listing of our Class A common stock on the NYSE could be suspended or terminated, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the confidence in our financial reporting, our credibility in the marketplace, and the trading price of our Class A common stock. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, our committees and as executive officers.

**Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock**

***Investors should not rely on the accuracy of forward-looking statements made by us.***

To the extent that we or any of our officers were to provide any forward-looking statements, investors must recognize that any such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions and estimates. We cannot make any representations as to the accuracy and reasonableness of such assumptions or the forward-looking statements based thereon. The validity and accuracy of those forward-looking statements will depend in large part on future events that we cannot foresee and may or may not prove to be correct. Consequently, there can be no assurance that our actual operating results will correspond to any of the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, an investment in our common stock should not be made in reliance on forward-looking statements prepared or provided by us.

***The price of our Class A common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile and may fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our Class A common stock.***

Our Class A common stock price has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. The stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your Class A common stock at or above your original purchase price. The market price for our Class A common stock may be influenced by many factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those discussed in this "*Risk Factors*" section and elsewhere in this Annual Report and the following:

● our operating and financial performance and prospects;

● success of our competitors' products or services;

● regulatory or legal developments in the United States, especially changes in laws or regulations applicable to our products and services, and changes in federal and state corporate tax laws;

● additions or departures of key management personnel;

● market and industry perception of our success, or lack thereof, in pursuing our growth strategy as well as the success, or lack thereof, in Sky Harbour's growth strategy and financial results;

● introductions or announcements of new products and services offered by us or significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors and the timing of such introductions or announcements;

● market conditions in the billboard, insurance, broadband, real estate and other sectors in which we may operate as well as general economic conditions;

● our ability or inability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt or other arrangements and the terms on which we raise it;

● trading volume of our Class A common stock;

● the resale of Class A common stock held by our affiliates;

● changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance or principles;

● significant lawsuits, including stockholder litigation;

● general economic, industry and market conditions, including those resulting from inflation, tariffs, geopolitical issues; natural disasters, severe weather events, terrorist attacks, epidemics and pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and responses to such events;

● accounting charges associated with operating losses at Sky Harbour as well as any reductions in the value of our investments in Sky Warrants, reductions in value for publicly traded securities which we mark to market, and impairment charges for our investments in private companies;

● our income or losses in unconsolidated affiliates in which we have invested capital and our retention of specialized accounting for our investments in entities which qualify as investment companies and apply specialized industry accounting; and

● changes in other investment income or losses.

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. We believe that quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

The stock market in general, and market prices for the securities of companies like ours in particular, as well as companies such as Sky Harbour, have from time to time experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of the underlying companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

In several recent situations when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit against us, the defense and disposition of the lawsuit could be costly and divert the time and attention of our management and harm our operating results.

***We are providing information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the reduced disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies and the reduced disclosure provided in this Form 10-K may make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.***

We were previously a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. We will retain our status as a non-accelerated filer though 2026 under applicable transition rules. Under these transition rules, we are permitted to provide in this Form 10-K the more limited disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies. These more limited reporting requirements allow us in this Form 10-K to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures, provide only two years of audited financial statements and avoid the requirement to have our independent auditor annually report on and attest to our management's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (15 U.S.C. 7262(b)). Commencing with our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we will become subject to more expansive disclosure requirements. The decreased disclosures in this Form 10-K under the transition rules for smaller reporting companies may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects and certain elements of our compensation program for executive officers and key employees.

***An active trading market for our Class A common stock may not** **be maintained** **.***

Our Class A common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on June 16, 2017 and on the New York Stock Exchange on January 14, 2022. There is a risk that an active trading market for our shares may not be maintained. If an active market for our Class A common stock is not maintained, it may be difficult for you to sell your shares without depressing the market price for the shares or at all. The lack of an active market may also impair your ability to sell your shares at a time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable and it may reduce the market value of your shares. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital, to continue to fund operations by selling shares, and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

***We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States.***

As a public company in the United States, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses, including costs associated with U.S. public company reporting requirements. We will also incur costs associated with NYSE listing requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by U.S. public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. We expect these rules and regulations would increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. In estimating these costs, we took into account expenses related to insurance, legal, accounting, and compliance activities, as well as other expenses not currently incurred. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, our Board committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our Class A common stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

***If a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock become available for sale and are sold in a short period of time, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline.***

If our current stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Class A common stock in the public market in a short period of time, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease. The perception in the public market that our current stockholders might sell shares of Class A common stock could also create a perceived overhang and depress our market price. As of March 27, 2026, MBOC I holds for the benefit of Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") and a pension fund managed by MIT 5,589,253 shares of our Class A common stock. In addition, the MIT affiliated pension fund separately reported on January 20, 2026, that it owns an additional 1,602,449 shares of our Class A common stock. Additionally, Mr. Peterson and entities managed by Magnolia own 587,031 shares of our Class A common stock and 580,558 shares of our Class B common stock, which converts on a one for one basis into an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock.

Pursuant to the exercise of rights under a registration rights agreement, in September 2021, we registered a total of 9,698,705 shares of Class A common stock, including 6,437,768 shares of Class A common stock owned by MBOC I and beneficially owned by entities associated with MIT and the remaining 3,260,937 shares owned directly by certain entities affiliated with MIT and also grants them the right to participate in future registrations of securities by us, subject to certain conditions. In May 2022, we updated the Registration Statement to reflect subsequent distributions of certain shares of Class A common stock owned by MBOC I to MIT, resulting in a reduction in the number of shares registered to 8,297,039 shares of our Class A common stock. These registration rights continue until the earlier of March 31, 2033 or the date when an investor may resell the shares of our Class A common stock under Rule 144 as of the date when all registrable securities held by and issued to such investor may be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act during any 90 day period.

In May 2022, we also registered 1,018,660 shares of Class A common stock held by Magnolia and Boulderado and their affiliates. All the shares held by Boulderado were repurchased by the Company in May 2024 and, as a result, the remaining 522,231 shares of our Class A common stock are available for resale under that registration statement. As of December 31, 2025, certain of our stockholders still hold 7,713,933 registered shares of our Class A common stock.

As of March 27, 2026, an additional 665,195 shares of our Class A common stock are owned directly or indirectly by our officers and directors and their affiliates other than Mr. Peterson and are available for resale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, we have issued 175,559 shares of our Class A common stock under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan and may issue additional shares in the future. Although we have not registered the shares issued or available for issuance under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, we may do so in the future.

A sale of a large number of the shares described above may have a depressive effect upon the price of our Class A common stock.

***If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our Class A common stock, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline.***

The trading market for our Class A common stock likely will be influenced by the research and reports that equity and debt research analysts publish about the industry, us and our business. The market price of our Class A common stock could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our shares or if those analysts issue a sell recommendation or other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who elect to cover us downgrade our shares, the market price of our Class A common stock would likely decline.

***Entities managed by Magnolia currently effectively control 31.7% of the votes needed on all voting matters brought before our stockholders, making it difficult for stockholder proposals not approved by Magnolia to receive stockholder approval*.***

Currently, MCF owns all of our Class B common stock and entities managed by Magnolia own 18.6% of our Class A common stock, resulting in their holding 31.7% of the aggregate voting power of the company. As a result, Mr. Peterson and entities managed by Magnolia together control 33.4% of the aggregate voting power. Moreover, it is possible that entities managed by Magnolia may increase their ownership in us if we sell additional shares of stock to them in connection with any future capital raise we may conduct. Also, each share of Class B common stock is entitled to cast 10 votes for all matters on which our stockholders vote, while each share of Class A common stock is entitled to cast only one vote. For the foreseeable future, entities managed by Magnolia will likely continue to effectively make it more difficult for stockholder proposals not approved by Magnolia to pass; make it more difficult for director nominations not approved by Magnolia to succeed; and, as a result, Magnolia may effectively control our management, policies, and operations. Our other stockholders will not have voting control over our actions, including the determination of other industries and markets that we may enter.

The interests of the entities managed by Magnolia may not coincide with the interests of other holders of our Class A common stock. The entities managed by Magnolia are in the business of making investments in companies and may, from time to time, acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. The entities managed by Magnolia may also pursue, for their own managers' or members' accounts, acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as MCF continues to own our Class B common stock or entities managed by Magnolia own a majority of our outstanding Class A common stock, they will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions, including potential mergers or acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporate transactions.

***Certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of** **MCF** **due to its ownership of Class B common stock.***

MCF, the holder of record of all of the shares of Class B common stock, exclusively and as a separate class, is entitled to elect a director to our Board of Directors, which we refer to as the "Class B Director." The Class B Director may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) of the shares of Class B common stock exclusively and as a separate class, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders.

At any time when shares of Class B common stock are outstanding, we may not, without the affirmative vote of the Class B Director:

● Amend, alter, or otherwise change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Class B common stock, or amend, alter or repeal any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Class B common stock;

● Liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, effect any merger or consolidation or any other deemed liquidation event or consent to any of the foregoing;

● Create, or authorize the creation of, or issue additional shares of Class B common stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock;

● Increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors;

● Hire, terminate, change the compensation of, or amend the employment agreements of, our executive officers;

● Purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of our capital stock;

● Create, or authorize the creation of, or issue, or authorize the issuance of any debt security, if our aggregate indebtedness for borrowed money following such action would exceed $10,000, or guarantee, any indebtedness except for our own trade accounts arising in the ordinary course of business;

● Make, or permit any subsidiary to make, any loan or advance outside of the ordinary course of business to any employee or director;

● Create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more other subsidiaries) by us or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of any subsidiary;

● Change our principal business, enter new lines of business, or exit the current line of business;

● Enter into any agreement involving the payment, contribution, or assignment by us or to us of money or assets greater than $10,000;

● Enter into or be a party to any transaction outside of the ordinary course of business with any of our directors, officers, or employees or any "associate" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any such person or entity; or

● Acquire, by merger, stock purchase, asset purchase or otherwise, any material assets or securities of any other corporation, partnership or other entity.

***Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our stockholders.***

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation (including but not limited to the rights of the holders of Class B common stock) and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that some stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares of our Class A common stock. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class A common stock, possibly depressing the market price of our Class A common stock.

The anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various impediments to the ability of a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of the Company more difficult, including, but not limited to, the following:

● setting forth specific procedures regarding how our stockholders may nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings;

● permitting our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval; and

● limiting the rights of stockholders to amend our bylaws, call a special meeting of our stockholders or take action by written consent.

In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Because our Board of Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace members of our management team.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could be used to institute a "poison pill" that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our Board of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined by our Board of Directors at the time of issuance or fixed by resolution without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and, therefore, could reduce the value of our common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could delay, discourage, prevent or make it more difficult or costly to acquire or effect a change in control, thereby preserving the current stockholders' control.

***Because we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.***

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and our stockholders will not be guaranteed, or have contractual or other rights, to receive dividends. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, modify or repeal our dividend policy or discontinue entirely the payment of dividends. The declaration and payment of dividends depends on various factors, including: our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. In addition, state insurance regulators will limit the amount of dividends, if any, we can draw from our UCS insurance operations and Link's and BOB's credit agreements prohibits them from issuing dividends to us if as a result of any such dividend would be in violation of the financial covenants set forth in the credit agreements.

In addition, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the "DGCL," our Board of Directors may not authorize payment of a dividend unless it is either paid out of our surplus, as calculated in accordance with the DGCL, or if we do not have a surplus, it is paid out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

***If we are, or were, a U.S. real property holding corporation, non-U.S. holders of our Class A common stock could be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from its sale, exchange or other disposition.***

If we are or ever have been a U.S. real property holding corporation, which we refer to as "USRPHC," under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 and applicable United States Treasury regulations, which we refer to collectively as the "FIRPTA Rules," unless an exception applies, certain non-U.S. investors in our Class A common stock would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our Class A common stock, and such non-U.S. investor would be required to file a United States federal income tax return. In addition, the purchaser of such Class A common stock would be required to withhold a portion of the purchase price and remit such amount to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

In general, under the FIRPTA Rules, a company is a USRPHC if its interests in U.S. real property comprise at least 50% of the fair market value of its assets. If we are or were a USRPHC, so long as our Class A common stock is "regularly traded on an established securities market" (as defined under the FIRPTA Rules), a non-U.S. holder who, actually or constructively, holds or held no more than 5% of our Class A common stock is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock under FIRPTA Rules. In addition, other interests in equity of a USRPHC may qualify for this exception if, on the date such interest was acquired, such interests had a fair market value no greater than the fair market value on that date of 5% of our Class A common stock. Any of our Class A common stockholders that are non-U.S. persons should consult their tax advisors to determine the consequences of investing in our Class A common stock.

***You may be diluted by the future issuance of additional Class A common stock in connection with acquisitions, sales of our securities or otherwise.***

As of March 27, 2026, we had 7,815,468 shares of Class A common stock authorized but unissued under our certificate of incorporation. We will be authorized to issue these shares of Class A common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Class A common stock for consideration and on terms and conditions established by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion, subject to applicable laws and NYSE rules, whether in connection with acquisitions, financings or otherwise. Any Class A common stock that we issue would dilute the percentage ownership held by current investors.

In the future, we may issue our securities, including shares of our common stock, in connection with financings, investments or acquisitions. We regularly evaluate potential acquisition opportunities, including ones that would be significant to us. We cannot predict the timing of any contemplated transactions, and none are currently probable, but any pending transaction could be entered into shortly after the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The amount of shares of our Class A common stock issued in connection with a financing, investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with financings, investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to you.

***Our authorized preferred stock exposes holders of our common stock to certain risks.***

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The authorized but unissued preferred stock constitutes what is commonly referred to as "blank check" preferred stock. This type of preferred stock may be issued by the Board of Directors from time to time on any number of occasions, without stockholder approval, as one or more separate series of shares comprised of any number of the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, designated by resolution of the Board of Directors stating the name and number of shares of each series and setting forth separately for such series the relative rights, privileges and preferences thereof, including, if any, the: (i) rate of dividends payable thereon; (ii) price, terms and conditions of redemption; (iii) voluntary and involuntary liquidation preferences; (iv) provisions of a sinking fund for redemption or repurchase; (v) terms of conversion to common stock, including conversion price and antidilution protection, and (vi) voting rights. Such preferred stock may provide our Board of Directors the ability to hinder or discourage any attempt to gain control of us by a merger, tender offer at a control premium price, proxy contest or otherwise. Consequently, the preferred stock could entrench our management. The market price of our Class A common stock could be depressed to some extent by the existence of the preferred stock. As of March 27, 2026, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.

***Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (v) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described in the preceding sentence. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees. If a court were to find either exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur further significant additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, all of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

***Our directors have limited liability under Delaware law.***

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, and Delaware law, our directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for: liability in connection with a breach of the duty of loyalty; acts or omissions not in good faith; acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; dividend payments or stock repurchases that are illegal under Delaware law; or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. Accordingly, except in those circumstances, our directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for breach of their duty.

***Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation and may result in increased future tax liability.***

Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code contain rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an "ownership change" to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. An "ownership change" is generally defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as any change in ownership of more than 50% of a corporation's stock over a rolling three-year period by stockholders that own (directly or indirectly) 5% or more of the stock of a corporation or arising from a new issuance of stock by a corporation. If an ownership change occurs, Section 382 generally imposes an annual limitation on the use of pre-ownership change net operating losses, which we refer to as "NOLs," credits and certain other tax attributes to offset taxable income earned after the ownership change. The annual limitation is equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax exempt rate and the value of the company's stock immediately before the ownership change. This annual limitation may be adjusted to reflect any unused annual limitation for prior years and certain recognized built-in gains and losses for the year. In addition, Section 383 generally limits the amount of tax liability in any post-ownership change year that can be reduced by pre-ownership change tax credit carryforwards. In addition, tax net operating loss carry forwards generated in years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely but are only available to offset 80% of future taxable income. This could result in increased U.S. federal income tax liability for us if we generate taxable income in a future period. Limitations on the use of NOLs and other tax attributes could also increase our state tax liability. The use of our tax attributes will also be limited to the extent that we do not generate positive taxable income in future tax periods. As a result of these limitations, we may be unable to offset future taxable income (if any) with losses, or our tax liability with credits, before such losses and credits expire. Accordingly, these limitations may increase our federal income tax liability. NOLs generated during 2018 and thereafter do not expire.

As of December 31, 2025, we had NOLs of approximately $133.4 million. We have assessed the impact of the 2018 private placement, our "at the market" offerings, our 2020 public offering, our 2021 public offering, and other transactions to determine whether an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, has occurred and do not anticipate that such shifts would result in any permanent limitation on our ability to utilize NOLs. Additionally, it is possible that future transactions may cause us to undergo one or more ownership changes. Certain of these NOLs may be also at risk of limitation in the event of a future ownership change.

We have U.S. federal and state NOLs. In general, NOLs in one state cannot be used to offset income in any other state. Accordingly, we may be subject to tax in certain jurisdictions even if we have unused NOLs in other jurisdictions. Also, each jurisdiction in which we operate may have its own limitations on our ability to utilize NOLs or tax credit carryovers generated in that jurisdiction. These limitations may increase our federal, state, and/or foreign income tax liability.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

***Risk Management and Strategy***

We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and data related to financial and customer data ("Information Systems and Data").

While to date, we have not had a major cyber incident against our platforms, nor experienced significant data loss or any material financial losses related to cybersecurity attacks, it is possible that we could experience a significant event in the future. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that *may* materially affect us and how they *may* do so, see our risk factors under Part *1.* Item *1A.* Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form *10*-K, including the risk factor captioned "Disruptions to or any breach of our information technology systems could disrupt our business operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows."

Our officers and employees and our IT vendors help identify, assess and manage our cybersecurity threats and risks and the unique needs of each of our billboard, surety insurance, broadband and other businesses and the various offices in which we operate. We manage, identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment and risk profile using various methods including, for example: through the use of automated tools, including but *not* limited to tools for monitoring, geolocation, remote wiping, threat detection, intrusion detection and prevention, patch management, distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection and forensics; conducting (directly or through *third* parties) regular audits and threat assessments for internal and external threats; subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats; analyzing reports of threats and actors; conducting vulnerability assessments to identify vulnerabilities; evaluating our and our industry's risk profile; and evaluating threats reported to us.

We implement and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: incident response plans and procedures, disaster recovery/business continuity plans, risk assessments, implementation of security standards and certifications, encryption of data, network security controls, data segregation, access controls, physical security, asset management, tracking and disposal, systems monitoring, vendor risk management program, employee training and penetration testing.

Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into our overall risk management processes. For example, cybersecurity risk is addressed as a component of our enterprise risk management program, and members of our management team and IT consultants work together to prioritize our risk management processes, mitigate cybersecurity threats that are more likely to lead to a material impact to our business, and report regularly to our board of directors on cybersecurity matters.

We use third-party service providers to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including for example managed cybersecurity service providers, threat intelligence service providers, dark web monitoring services, and other cybersecurity software providers.

We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, including but *not* limited to application providers, hosting companies, contract manufacturing organizations and contract research organizations. We have a vendor management program to oversee, identify and manage cybersecurity risks associated with our use of these providers. The program includes a risk assessment for vendors that *may* include, depending on the vendor and nature of services being performed, security questionnaires, review of the vendor's written security program, review of security assessments, audits and reports, vulnerability scans related to the vendor, security assessment calls with the vendor's security personnel, and the imposition of certain contractual obligations on the vendor, among other elements, in accordance with the processes outlined in our internal vendor selection, management, and oversight process policy and other internal guidelines. More specifically, the level of assessment *may* depend on the following: the nature of the services provided and the data the vendors *may* collect, retain, and utilize, the sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider.

***Governance***

Our board of directors addresses our cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function.

Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by various members of our management team and IT consultants, which includes individuals who have a diverse combination of relevant expertise, experience, education and training.

**Item 2. Properties.**

Our corporate headquarters is located in Omaha, Nebraska. As of December 31, 2025, we maintained offices in various locations in the United States with leases expiring between 2026 and 2042. In connection with the acquisition of various billboard sites, we own a small percentage of these sites and in most instances lease the sites from third parties. Land leases related to the structures are typically paid in advance for periods ranging from one to twelve months. The lease contracts include those with fixed payments and those with escalating payments. Some of the lease contracts contain a base rent payment plus an additional amount up to a particular percentage of revenue. In the opinion of our management, our properties are adequate and suitable for our business as presently conducted and are adequately maintained. We also own several parcels in Arizona used by our broadband business for storage of equipment.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

Due to the nature of our business, we are, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, without limitation, workers' compensation claims and employment-related disputes. In the opinion of our management, none of the pending litigation, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely, will have a material adverse effect individually or in the aggregate on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

**Dividend Policy**

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends to the holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We are not required to pay dividends, and our stockholders will not be guaranteed, or have contractual or other rights to receive, dividends. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends, opportunity set for retained capital, and other considerations that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, state insurance regulators will limit the amount of dividends, if any, we can draw from our UCS insurance operations. In addition, the loan credit facilities at Link and BOB limit their ability to issue cash dividends to us during any period in which they are in default of any loan covenant. Our Board of Directors may decide, in its discretion, at any time, to modify or repeal the dividend policy or discontinue entirely the payment of dividends.

The ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend is also subject to limits imposed by Delaware corporate law. Under Delaware law, our Board of Directors and the boards of directors of our corporate subsidiaries incorporated in Delaware may declare dividends only to the extent of our "surplus," which is defined as total assets at fair market value minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

**Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities**

None.

**Equity Compensation Plans** 

In August 2022, our shareholders approved the 2022 Incentive Plan.

Certain of the grants to the employees and the independent directors are subject to vesting periods of up to three years from the date of grant. The 2022 Incentive Plan currently is authorized to issue 1,575,000 shares of our Class A common stock and maintains an evergreen provision allowing for the issuance of a total of 5% of our issued and outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, which amount is adjusted annually based on shares outstanding at the end of the fiscal year. We currently have 1,399,441 shares available for grant under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

**Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

On November 14, 2025, the Board approved and authorized the Share Repurchase Program, replacing a share repurchase program established in 2024 which expired on September 30, 2025, pursuant to which we announced our intention to repurchase up to $30 million of our Class A common stock, from time to time, in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board also authorized the Company, in its discretion, to establish "Rule 10b5-1 trading plans" for these share repurchases. The Share Repurchase Program went into effect on or about November 18, 2025 and will terminate on December 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated in the discretion of the Board. The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in applicable SEC regulations, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, the Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares of its Class A common stock and shall not repurchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its stock over the previous 20 trading days. During fiscal 2025, we repurchased 444,753 shares of our Class A common stock for a total cost of approximately $5,800,000. No shares were repurchased in 2025 under the prior share repurchase program established in 2024.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed below and as set forth under Summary Risk Factors and "Item 1A. Risk Factors." Please also refer to the section under the heading "Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements."*

**Overview**

We are currently engaged in outdoor billboard advertising, broadband services, surety insurance and related brokerage businesses, and an asset management business. In addition, we hold minority investments in commercial real estate management and brokerage services, a bank focused on servicing the automotive loan market, and a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars.

***Outdoor Billboard** **Advertising.*** In June 2015, we commenced our billboard business operations through acquisitions by Link, our wholly owned subsidiary, of smaller billboard companies located in the Southeast United States and Wisconsin. During July and August 2018, we acquired the membership interest or assets of three larger billboard companies which increased our overall billboard count to approximately 2,900 billboards. In addition, we have made several billboard acquisitions on a smaller scale since that date. We believe that we are a leading outdoor billboard advertising company in the markets we serve in the Midwest. As of December 31, 2025, we operate approximately 3,900 billboards with approximately 7,500 advertising faces. One of our principal business objectives is to continue to acquire additional billboard assets through acquisitions of existing billboard businesses in the United States when they can be made at what we believe to be attractive prices relative to other opportunities generally available to us.

***Surety Insurance.*** In September 2015, we established an insurance subsidiary, GIG, designed to own and operate insurance businesses generally handling high volume, lower policy limit commercial lines of property and casualty insurance. In April 2016, our surety insurance business commenced with the acquisition of a surety insurance brokerage business with a national internet-based presence. In December 2016, we completed the acquisition of UCS, a surety insurance company, which at that time was licensed to issue surety bonds in only nine states. UCS now has licenses to operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, we have also acquired additional surety insurance brokerage businesses located in various regions of the United States. We may in the future expand the reach of our insurance activities to other forms of insurance which may have similar characteristics to surety, such as high volume and low average policy premium insurance businesses which historically have similar economics.

***Broadband Services***. In March 2020, we commenced our broadband services business with the acquisition of substantially all of the business assets of FibAire, a rural broadband internet provider that served over 8,000 customers in communities in southern Arizona with a high-speed fixed wireless internet service and is building an all fiber-to-the-home network in select Arizona markets. In December 2020, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of UBB, a broadband internet provider that provided high-speed internet to over 10,000 customers throughout Utah. In September 2021, we announced the launch of Fiber Fast Homes, LLC, which partners with builders, developers and build for rent communities to build fiber-to-the-home infrastructure and provide fiber internet service to residents. In April 2022, we acquired substantially all of the business assets of InfoWest, which are fiber and fixed wireless internet service providers with over 20,000 customers throughout Southern and Central Utah, Northern Arizona and Moapa Valley, Nevada. In addition, over the last few years, we have also acquired additional smaller broadband businesses located in Utah. As of December 31, 2025, we have approximately 49,500 broadband customers (19,900 fiber customers) and 48,300 fiber passings completed. We hope to continue to expand in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and other locales.

***Investments***:

● Since September 2015, we have made a series of investments in commercial real estate, a commercial real estate management, brokerage and related services business as well as an asset management business. We currently own 30% of Logic. On May 1, 2023, our BOAM subsidiary acquired 100% of the membership interests in 24th Street from the members of 24th Street other than BOAM for cash and BOC Class A common stock valued at $5,016,494 in the aggregate. Prior to the transaction, BOAM indirectly owned 48% of the membership interests of 24th Street. The consideration consisted of $2,759,072 in cash at closing, an additional $1,254,102 in cash subject to holdback, and 45,644 shares of BOC Class A common stock (based on the average closing price of BOC Class A common stock for the 30 business day period ending two days before the closing date). The shares issued in the transaction are unregistered and have no registration rights. The purchase agreement also provides for certain payments based on performance to receive the holdback amount and certain other potential limited earnout payments. In addition, we have invested, through one of our subsidiaries, an aggregate of $6 million in the 24th Street Funds. These funds are managed by 24th Street and focus on opportunities within secured lending and direct investments in commercial real estate.

● In December 2017, we invested $10 million in common units of DFH, the parent company of Dream Finders Homes, LLC, a national home builder. In addition to its homebuilding operations, DFH's subsidiaries provide mortgage loan origination and title insurance services to homebuyers. On January 25, 2021, Dream Finders Homes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DFH, completed its initial public offering and Dream Finders Homes, Inc. became a holding company and sole manager of DFH. Upon completion of the initial public offering, our outstanding common units in DFH were converted into 4,681,099 shares of Class A common stock of Dream Finders Homes, Inc., and one of our subsidiaries purchased an additional 120,000 shares of Class A common stock in the initial public offering. Since DFH's initial public offering through December 31, 2022, we have sold all our 4,801,099 shares of DFH Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $81 million.

● In May 2018, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested approximately $19 million through the purchase of common stock of CB&T, the privately-held parent company of Crescent. Our investment now represents 15.6% of CB&T's outstanding common stock. Crescent is located in New Orleans and generates the majority of its revenues from indirect subprime automobile lending across the United States.

● In October 2020, our subsidiary BOC Yellowstone served as sponsor for the underwritten initial public offering of a special purpose acquisition company named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, which we refer to as "Yellowstone". Between August and November 2020, we invested, through BOC Yellowstone, approximately $7.8 million through the purchase of 3,399,724 shares of Class B common stock and 7,719,779 non-redeemable private placement warrants, each warrant entitling us to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. In August 2021, Yellowstone entered into a business combination agreement with Sky Harbour LLC, a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars. The business combination was completed on January 25, 2022 and Yellowstone changed its name to Sky Harbour Group Corporation. Sky Harbour's Class A common stock trades on the NYSE American under the symbol "SKYH" and its warrants to purchase Class A common stock trade under the symbol "SKYH.WS."

● In September 2021, through one of our subsidiaries, we invested $55 million directly into SHG and received Series B preferred units. Upon the successful consummation of the Sky Harbour business combination, this investment converted into 5,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour's Class A common stock based upon an assumed value of $10.00 per share. In December 2021, we agreed to provide Sky Harbour an additional $45 million through the purchase of 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, which was consummated in January 2022. Through December 31, 2025, we have sold 1,015,537 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $11.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, we held 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,779 Sky Harbour warrants.

● In 2021, we established the BFR Fund subsidiary within BOAM to operate a proposed build-for-rent business, focusing on developing, building, and managing single family detached and/or townhomes for long term rentals. We invested approximately $15 million of capital to finance the initial acquisitions for these projects and subsequently raised third-party capital to be invested alongside our capital. The BFR Fund acquired land parcels in Nevada with the initial plan to develop, construct, and operate build-for-rent communities. However, challenges in the market, including the increase in interest rates and the inability to achieve what we believe are appropriate risk-adjusted returns, have led us to pursue selling the BFR Fund's entitled land assets to public homebuilders. Consequently, we are winding down the BFR Fund earlier than originally targeted by returning the uninvested cash on hand to BFR Fund partners and, as we sell the BFR Fund's entitled land assets, returning that capital to BFR Fund partners as well.

● In July 2023, we invested approximately $3 million in voting preferred stock of MyBundle, a company serving the broadband industry.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

In each of our businesses, we hope to expand our geographic reach and market share and seek to develop a competitive advantage and/or brand name for our services, which we hope will be a differentiating factor for customers. Our insurance market primarily services small contractors, small and medium-sized businesses and individuals required to provide surety bonds (i) in connection with their work for government agencies and others, (ii) in connection with contractual obligations, or (iii) to meet regulatory requirements and other needs. We have expanded the licensing of the UCS business to all 50 states and the District of Columbia and developed and brought to market an electronic portal allowing independent insurance agents to more easily and efficiently purchase surety insurance. In outdoor advertising, our plan is to continue to grow this business through acquisitions of billboard assets. We expect to expand our broadband services in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Utah and in other locations. In the future, we expect to expand the range of services we provide in the insurance sector, seek to continue to expand our billboard operations and broadband services and to possibly consider acquisitions of other businesses, as well as investments, in other sectors, although we expect to place a primary emphasis on growing our existing business lines over the next several years. Our decision to expand outside of these current business sectors we serve or in which we have made investments will be based on the opportunity to acquire businesses which we believe provide the potential for sustainable earnings at an attractive level relative to capital employed and, with regard to investment, we believe have the potential to provide attractive returns.

We seek to enter markets where we believe demand for our services will grow in the coming years due to certain barriers to entry and/or to anticipated long-term demand for these services. In the outdoor billboard business, government restrictions often limit the number of additional billboards that may be constructed. At the same time, advances in billboard technology provide the opportunity to improve revenues through the use of digital display technologies and other new technologies. In the surety insurance business, new insurance companies must be licensed by state agencies that impose capital, management and other strict requirements on these insurers. These hurdles are at the individual state level, with statutes often providing wide latitude to regulators to impose judgmental requirements upon new entrants. In addition, new distribution channels in certain areas of surety may provide a new opportunity. In the real estate management services market, we believe the continued growth of commercial real estate in many sections of the United States will provide opportunities for management services for the foreseeable future. We also believe our investment in both CB&T and Sky Harbour has provided each company the opportunity to significantly grow its business. We invest our available capital and the surplus capital from UCS in a wide range of securities, including equity securities of public companies, various corporate and government bonds and U.S. treasuries. In broadband services, we believe that our fiber-to-the-home services can compete with traditional cable operators as broadband provides higher rates of transmission and improved speed to consumers and that, once built, other competitors may be less willing to compete in communities which we serve.

**How We Generate Our Revenues and Evaluate Our Business**

We currently generate revenues primarily through billboard advertising and related services, from the sale of surety insurance and related brokerage activities, by providing high-speed broadband services, and asset management services. Revenue for outdoor advertising space rental is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract and advertising revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Payments received in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue. In our surety insurance business, premiums written are recognized as revenues based on a pro rata daily calculation over the respective terms of the policies in-force. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written applicable to the unexpired term of the policies in-force. In connection with our surety agency business, insurance commissions are recognized at a point in time, on a bond-by-bond basis as of the policy effective date and are generally nonrefundable. In our broadband business, revenue is derived principally from internet services and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract in the period the services are rendered. Revenue received or receivable in advance of the delivery of services is included in deferred revenue.

Segment gross profit is a key metric that we use to evaluate segment operating performance and to determine resource allocation between segments. We define segment gross profit as segment revenues less segment direct cost of services. In our billboard business, direct cost of services includes land leases, utilities, repairs and maintenance of equipment, sales commissions, contract services, and other billboard level expenses. In our broadband business, direct costs of services includes network operations and data costs, software costs, cell site rent and utilities, and other broadband level expenses. In our surety business, direct cost of services includes commissions, premium taxes, fees and assessments, and losses and loss adjustment expenses.

***Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024*** ****

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025, which we refer to as "fiscal 2025," compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 which we refer to as "fiscal 2024."

*Revenues.* For fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, our revenues in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues were as follows:

| Broadband services | 41194668 | 36.0% | 39098228 | 36.1% | 2096440 |
| Premiums earned | 23182446 | 20.3% | 19759540 | 18.2% | 3422906 |

| Investment and other income | 2090729 | 1.8% | 2301365 | 2.2% | (210636) |
| Total Revenues | $114376348 | 100.0% | $108274901 | 100.0% | $6101447 |

---

We realized total revenues of $114,376,348 during fiscal 2025, an increase of 5.6% over revenues of $108,274,901 during fiscal 2024. The key factors impacting revenue across each of our businesses during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Net billboard rentals increased by 1.5% in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024, reflecting steady rental and occupancy rates across a number of our markets.

● Revenue from broadband services increased by 5.4% in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024, mainly reflecting subscriber growth across a number of our markets.

● Premiums earned from our UCS insurance subsidiary increased by 17.3% in fiscal 2025 when compared to the fiscal 2024. The increase in premiums earned was primarily due to increases in gross written premium production throughout fiscal 2025. We recognize revenues for written premium over the life of the surety bond and, as a result, increased sales activities are not fully reflected in the quarter in which the surety bond is issued.

● Revenue from insurance commissions generated by our surety brokerage operations increased by 4.8% in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024, mainly due to increased production through outside insurance carriers.

● Investment and other income at UCS and BOAM decreased by 9.2% from $2,301,365 in fiscal 2024 to $2,090,729 in fiscal 2025, mainly due to winding down BOAM's operations.

---

During fiscal 2025, we had total costs and expenses of $118,304,495, as compared to total costs and expenses of $116,742,379 in fiscal 2024. Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from 107.8% in fiscal 2024 to 103.4% in fiscal 2025. The key factors impacting costs and expenses across each of our businesses during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Cost of billboard revenues decreased as a percentage of billboard revenues from 34.3% in fiscal 2024 to 32.6% in fiscal 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by lower commissions paid and other billboard cost of revenues.

● Cost of broadband revenues decreased as a percentage of broadband revenues from 24.2% in fiscal 2024 to 23.6% in fiscal 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by lower other broadband cost of revenues and software costs as well as organic revenue growth within our broadband businesses.

● Cost of insurance revenues increased as a percentage of insurance revenues from 39.4% in fiscal 2024 to 53.0% in fiscal 2025. The increase was mainly driven by an increase in commissions paid as well as higher loss and loss adjustment expense mainly due to an increase in claim payments. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are primarily reserved monthly based on a percentage of earned premiums.

● Employee costs in fiscal 2025 were $34,284,576, or 30.0% of total revenues, as compared to $38,146,193, or 35.2% in fiscal 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by one-time severance and bonus payments to our former Co-CEO as a part of his separation and stock repurchase agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding the one-time severance and bonus payments, employee costs would have been 32.1% of total revenues in fiscal 2024.

● Professional fees in fiscal 2025 were $4,117,922, or 3.6% of total revenues, as compared to $4,898,144, or 4.5% of total revenues, in fiscal 2024. The decrease was mainly driving by the one-time legal fees associated with our former Co-CEO's separation and stock repurchase agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

● General and administrative expenses in fiscal 2025 were $15,882,612, or 13.9% of total revenues, as compared to $16,237,654, or 15.0% of total revenues, in fiscal 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by expense reductions within our asset management and broadband businesses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in expenses within our insurance business and at Boston Omaha's parent company.

● Non-cash expenses in fiscal 2025 included $17,020,257 in depreciation expense, $7,751,053 in amortization expense, and $217,876 in accretion expense mainly related to asset retirement obligations for certain billboard assets. The increase in depreciation expense is mainly driven by continued capital investments within our broadband businesses.

*Net Loss from Operations.* Net loss from operations in fiscal 2025 was $3,928,147, or 3.4% of total revenues, as compared to a net loss from operations of $8,467,478, or 7.8% of total revenues, in fiscal 2024. The decrease in net loss from operations was primarily due to one-time costs associated with our former Co-CEO's separation and stock repurchase agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, improved operations within our broadband and billboard businesses, and lower expenses within our asset management business, which were partially offset by higher commissions paid and loss and loss adjustment expense within our insurance business. Our net loss from operations included $24,989,186 from non-cash amortization, depreciation and accretion expenses in fiscal 2025, as compared to $22,398,171 in fiscal 2024.

*Other Income (Expense).* During fiscal 2025, we had net other expense of $14,456,549. Net other expense included (i) other investment losses of $19,874,269 mainly driven by a $17,554,005 unrealized loss on the Sky Harbour warrants held by Boston Omaha as these warrants are valued based on a mark-to-market reporting method and losses of $6,920,718 within BOAM primarily related to changes in the fair value of the underlying assets within the 24th Street and BFR Funds, which were partially offset by $4,134,847 in realized gains on the sale of 730,095 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, and (ii) interest expense of $2,330,043 mainly incurred under Link's term loan and revolver and BOB's credit facility. These items were partially offset by income of $6,544,671 from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to our equity method position in Sky Harbour and interest and dividend income of $1,203,092. During fiscal 2024, we had net other income of $11,564,072. Net other income included $29,059,717 in other investment income mainly driven by a $16,983,514 unrealized gain on the Sky Harbour warrants held by Boston Omaha, other investment income of $7,815,912 primarily related to the sale of real estate and changes in the fair value of remaining assets within the 24th Street Funds and BFR Fund, $1,957,056 in non-cash gains associated with the transfer of Sky Harbour Class A common stock to our former Co-CEO as a part of his separation and stock repurchase agreement, $1,137,684 in realized gains on the sale of 285,442 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock, and interest and dividend income of $1,385,884. These items were partially offset by a loss of $17,283,281 from unconsolidated affiliates mainly related to non-cash losses from our equity method position in Sky Harbour and interest expense of $1,598,248 mainly incurred under Link's term loan and revolver.

Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires us to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public equity securities in our reported earnings. Due to the size of our percentage ownership interest in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock and our right to elect one of the seven members of Sky Harbour's Board of Directors, our investment is recorded under the equity method and, in contrast to our mark-to-market quarterly valuation of our Sky Harbour warrants, we do not include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock price in our reported earnings. In the future, if we are deemed to no longer have significant influence, we may no longer be able to record our investment under the equity method and will be required to include any unrealized gains or losses related to the change in Sky Harbour's stock price in our reported earnings. While we intend to hold our current securities for the longer term, we may in the future choose to sell them for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.

Additionally, we have evaluated our investment in Sky Harbour as of December 31, 2025, and determined that there was not an other-than-temporary impairment. Our conclusion was based on several contributing factors, including: (i) our assessment that the underlying business and financial condition of Sky Harbour is favorable, (ii) Sky Harbour's stock price trading above our carrying value for an extended period of time, and (iii) our ability and intent to hold the investment. We will continue to review our investment in Sky Harbour for an other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis or upon the occurrence of certain events. If Sky Harbour's stock price drops below our carrying value of $6.36 per share for a sustained period of time, it will likely result in an impairment of our investment. There may also be a future impairment of our investment if our expectations about Sky Harbour's prospective results of operations and cash flows decline, which could be influenced by a variety of factors including adverse market conditions.

*Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders.* We had a net loss attributable to common stockholders in the amount of $12,427,540 in fiscal 2025, or a loss per share of $0.40, based on 31,413,667 diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This is compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,292,450 in fiscal 2024, or a loss per share of $0.04, based on 31,496,857 diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

*Comparison of Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2024.* In fiscal 2025, there was a 1.5% increase in net billboard revenues from fiscal 2024, reflecting steady rental and occupancy rates across a number of our markets. This growth was achieved despite the headwind of last year's political spend, which did not repeat in fiscal 2025. The key factors affecting our billboard operations results during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Ground rent expense as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 18.3% in fiscal 2024 to 18.5% in fiscal 2025.

● Commissions paid as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 7.8% in fiscal 2024 to 6.2% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly due to the change in Link's management compensation structure to align with strategic goals whereby certain commissions were replaced by other compensation reported under employee costs, as stated below.

● Employee costs as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 17.3% in fiscal 2024 to 18.8% in fiscal 2025. The increase is mainly due to the filling of open positions to align processes and lower operating costs in other expense categories as well as the change in Link's management compensation structure whereby, as stated above, certain commissions were replaced by other compensation reported under employee costs.

● General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 8.9% in fiscal 2024 to 8.8% in fiscal 2025.

● Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of total segment operating revenues were 11.6% and 8.5% in fiscal 2025 compared to 11.4% and 8.7% in fiscal 2024, respectively.

● Net interest expense was $1,467,443 in fiscal 2025 compared to net interest expense of $1,410,216 in fiscal 2024. The increase is mainly driven by the revolving line of credit.

*Comparison of Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2024.* In fiscal 2025, total operating revenues increased by 5.4% when compared to fiscal 2024 mainly reflecting subscriber growth across a number of our markets. The key factors affecting our broadband operations results during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Network operations and data costs as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 13.0% in fiscal 2024 to 13.3% in fiscal 2025. The increase is mainly driven by increased cell site circuit costs related to new project developments.

● Other costs of revenues as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 5.5% in fiscal 2024 to 5.1% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly driven by a focused effort to reduce spending within our broadband businesses.

● Employee costs as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 39.7% in fiscal 2024 to 35.3% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly driven by headcount reductions within our broadband businesses.

● Professional fees as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 2.2% in fiscal 2024 to 1.2% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly driven by one-time consulting fees in fiscal 2024 related to government program applications.

● General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 19.0% in fiscal 2024 to 16.8% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly driven by a focused effort to reduce general and administrative spending within our broadband businesses.

● Depreciation expense increased by $2,338,727 from fiscal 2024. The increase in depreciation expense is mainly driven by continued capital investments across all of our broadband businesses.

● Net interest expense was $583,887 in fiscal 2025 compared to $32,019 in fiscal 2024. The increase is mainly driven by the borrowings on the BOB credit facility.

*Comparison of Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2024.* In fiscal 2025, total operating revenues increased by 14.2% when compared to fiscal 2024, mainly due to increased earned premiums at our UCS insurance subsidiary. The key factors affecting our insurance operations results during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Premiums earned from our UCS insurance subsidiary increased 17.3% in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024. The increase in premiums earned was primarily due to increases in production throughout fiscal 2025. We recognize revenues for written premium over the life of the surety bond and, as a result, increased sales activities are not fully reflected in the quarter in which the surety bond is issued.

● Insurance commissions generated by our surety brokerage operations increased by 4.8% in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024, mainly due to increased production through outside insurance carriers.

● Investment and other income at UCS decreased from $2,129,218 in fiscal 2024 to $1,996,819 in fiscal 2025, mainly due to a decrease in yields on invested assets.

● Commissions paid as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 23.9% in fiscal 2024 to 26.1% in fiscal 2025, mainly due to increased production from non-affiliated insurance brokerage firms.

● Losses and loss adjustment expenses as a percentage of insurance revenues increased from 13.3% in fiscal 2024 to 24.5% in fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase in claim payments. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are primarily reserved monthly based on a percentage of earned premiums.

● Employee costs as a percentage of total segment operating revenues decreased from 35.6% in fiscal 2024 to 34.0% in fiscal 2025. The decrease is mainly driven by organic revenue growth within our insurance businesses, which was partially offset by an increase in headcount and higher salary costs.

● Professional fees as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 2.0% in fiscal 2024 to 4.1% in fiscal 2025, mainly due to fees associated with several internal projects.

● General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total segment operating revenues increased from 11.1% in fiscal 2024 to 11.4% in fiscal 2025, mainly due to an increase in rent costs and software development costs related to IT projects.

● During fiscal 2025, UCS had equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates of $1,853,386 related to UCS' investment in Sky Harbour Class A common stock and $301,915 in other investment income from realized and unrealized gains on investments in publicly held securities. As of December 31, 2025, UCS had $868,043 in publicly held securities (marked to market) and $17,533,794 in Sky Harbour Class A common stock (equity method). We expect to continue to invest a portion of our excess capital in accordance with insurance regulatory limitations in both publicly traded equity securities and bonds. These investments are subject to the risk of loss in value depending upon market conditions and factors outside of our control.

*Comparison of Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2024.* In September 2017, we formed our asset management business. Throughout fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023 we had been hiring within our asset management business to ensure adequate staffing for the anticipated demands and needs of the business. In May 2023, we acquired 100% of the membership interests in 24th Street from the members of 24th Street other than BOAM. As previously mentioned, we are winding down BOAM's operations and have implemented significant cost cutting measures, which occurred principally in the second half of fiscal 2024. Therefore, comparisons of our asset management results for fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2024 may not be meaningful. The key factors affecting our asset management operations results during fiscal 2025 were as follows:

● Employee costs in fiscal 2025 were completely removed as we wind down BOAM's operations and implement cost-cutting measures.

● Professional fees decreased by $47,836 in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024. The decrease is mainly driven by the services agreement with Local Asset Management LLC to provide management services associated with the wind down of the 24th Street and BFR Funds. The Services Agreement provides for consulting fees which reduce over time as assets managed within the funds are sold.

● General and administrative expenses decreased by $397,789 in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024 as we wind down BOAM's operations and implement cost-cutting measures.

● Interest and dividend income decreased by $507,306 in fiscal 2025 when compared to fiscal 2024. The decrease is mainly related to the distribution of excess cash in the 24th Street and BFR Funds to limited partners during the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

● Other investment loss in fiscal 2025 primarily included the changes in the fair value of the 24th Street and BFR Funds mainly driven by the decrease in value of certain underlying real estate. 

● Noncontrolling interest in subsidiary loss in fiscal 2025 primarily included the external limited partners' share of GAAP losses within the 24th Street and BFR Funds, mainly driven by the change in fair value referenced above.

*Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities.* Net cash provided by operating activities was $17,857,490 during fiscal 2025 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $21,241,580 during fiscal 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly driven by an increase in expenses within our insurance business, an increase in prepaid expenses as well as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. These items were partially offset by improved cash flow generation within our billboard and broadband businesses as well as lower expenses within our asset management business and Boston Omaha's parent company.

*Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities*. Net cash used in investing activities was $13,546,607 during fiscal 2025 as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $28,099,816 during fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2025, net cash used in investing activities is primarily attributable to $27,898,145 in capital expenditures, mainly within our broadband businesses, which was partially offset by $14,366,051 in net cash proceeds mainly from the sale or maturity of U.S. Treasury securities, sale of real estate investments within BOAM, and sale of marketable equity securities.

*Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities*. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,206,318 during fiscal 2025 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $47,557,174 during fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2025, net cash provided by financing activities mainly consisted of $11,500,000 in borrowings on BOB's credit facility, $3,936,347 in collateral received at UCS, and $525,256 in proceeds from the issuance of stock related to Magnolia Capital Fund, LP's exercise in full of its remaining Class B warrants. These items were partially offset by $7,084,357 in distributions to noncontrolling interests from the 24th Street and BFR Funds, $5,752,737 in stock repurchases, and $2,293,195 in principal payments on long-term debt.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Currently, we own billboards in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, a surety insurance company we acquired in December 2016, surety insurance brokerage firms we acquired in 2016, 2017 and 2021, broadband services providers whose assets we acquired in 2020, 2022 and 2023, minority investments in commercial real estate management and brokerage services, a bank focused on servicing the automotive loan market, and a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars. At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $28.6 million in unrestricted cash and $20.7 million in short-term U.S. treasury securities. Our strategy is to continue to expand certain parts of our existing businesses as well as acquire other businesses and open new businesses which we believe have the potential to generate positive cash flows when made at what we believe to be attractive prices relative to other opportunities generally available to us. We currently expect to finance any future acquisitions and investments with cash, debt and seller or third-party financing. In the future, we may satisfy all or a portion of the purchase price for an acquisition with our equity securities. In addition, we have made investments in several companies and expect to continue to make investments in the securities of both publicly traded and privately held companies. We reserve the right to dispose of a business or subset of a business unit if, based upon management's periodic review of our portfolio, our Board of Directors determines that such action would be in our best interest.

On November 14, 2025, the Board approved and authorized the Share Repurchase Program, pursuant to which we announced our intention to repurchase up to $30 million of our Class A common stock, from time to time, in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board also authorized the Company, in its discretion, to establish "Rule 10b5-1 trading plans" for these share repurchases. The Share Repurchase Program went into effect on or about November 18, 2025 and will terminate on December 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated in the discretion of the Board. The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in applicable SEC regulations, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program, the Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares of its Class A common stock and shall not repurchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its stock over the previous 20 trading days. During fiscal 2025, we repurchased 444,753 shares of our Class A common stock for a total cost of approximately $5,800,000.

There can be no assurance that we will consummate any subsequent acquisitions. Furthermore, our acquisitions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including as to when, whether and to what extent the anticipated benefits and cost savings of a particular acquisition will be realized. Our failure to successfully identify and complete future acquisitions of assets or businesses could reduce future potential earnings, available cash, and slow our anticipated growth. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, the sale of the disposed unit may disrupt operations, cause key talent loss, or create difficulties in separating shared services, impacting the remaining business's financial performance. If we elect to sell all or a portion of a business unit, we may may fail to secure a buyer, fail to consummate the transaction, or face prolonged closing timelines due to delays in obtaining any required approvals by government agencies or our lenders. Divestitures can also result in reduced cash flow, unexpected tax consequences, or the need to write down goodwill associated with the disposed business unit. Although we have entered into, and expect to continue to enter into, non-binding letters of intent to acquire businesses on a regular basis, we do not currently have any agreements, commitments or understandings for any specific material acquisitions that are probable of being consummated at this time.

To date, we have raised funds through the sale of our common stock in public offerings, sales of our common stock in "at the market" programs, term loan financings through our Link and BOB subsidiaries, proceeds from the sale of publicly traded securities held by us, cash flow from operations, and, prior to 2019, through private placements of our common stock.

<u>2022 Shelf Registration Statement</u>

In April 2022, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264470) that was declared effective on May 11, 2022, and which has now expired, relating to the registration of Class A common stock, preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which we refer to as "preferred stock," debt securities and warrants of the Company for up to $500 million. Additionally, in the 2022 Shelf Registration Statement, we registered for resale up to 8,297,039 shares of Class A common stock acquired in 2018 or earlier in private placements in accordance with the terms of a 2018 registration rights agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock by the selling shareholders. Currently, the selling stockholders are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or "MIT," as well as 238 Plan Associates LLC, an MIT pension and benefit fund, and a limited partnership holding our Class A common stock for the economic benefit of MIT. No officer or director has any beneficial interest in any shares eligible for resale by the selling shareholders. Also, we registered shares held by Adam Peterson and his affiliates underlying the Class A common stock and shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock of which shares have been sold. In May 2022, we also registered 1,018,660 shares of Class A common stock held by Magnolia and Boulderado and their affiliates. All of the shares held by Boulderado were repurchased by the Company in May 2024 and, as a result, 522,231 shares of our Class A common stock are available for resale under that registration statement. Based upon filings by these shareholders with the SEC, as of December 31, 2025, certain of our stockholders still hold 7,713,933 registered shares of our Class A common stock. The 2022 shelf registration statement expired in May 2025.

We may in the future file a new shelf registration statement which would allow us, from time to time, in one or more offerings, to offer and sell Class A common stock or preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants. We or any selling security holders may offer these securities from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of the offering. We may sell these securities to or through one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, or directly to purchasers on a delayed or continuous basis. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities that we may offer for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, financing our existing businesses and operations, and expanding our businesses and operations through additional hires, strategic alliances, and acquisitions. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by any selling stockholders.

<u>Link Credit Agreement</u>

On August 12, 2019, Link entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with First National Bank of Omaha (the "Lender") under which Link could borrow up to $40 million (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement provided for an initial term loan ("Term Loan 1"), an incremental term loan ("Term Loan 2") and a revolving line of credit. Link initially borrowed approximately $18 million under Term Loan 1 and $5.5 million under Term Loan 2. On December 6, 2021, Link entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the borrowing limit to $30 million and combining the outstanding balances under Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 as well as any incremental borrowings into a term loan ("Term Loan"). The Term Loan is secured by all assets of Link and its operating subsidiaries, including a pledge of equity interests of each of Link's subsidiaries. In addition, each of Link's subsidiaries has joined as a guarantor to the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The loan is not guaranteed by Boston Omaha or any of our non-billboard businesses.

Principal amounts under the Term Loan were payable in monthly installments according to a 15-year amortization schedule with principal payments commencing on January 1, 2022. Starting July 1, 2023, principal amounts under the Term Loan are payable in monthly installments according to a 25-year amortization schedule. The Term Loan is payable in full on December 6, 2028. The Term Loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum.

On May 30, 2024, Link entered into a Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. Interest payments are based on the U.S. Prime Rate minus an applicable margin ranging between 0.65% and 1.15% dependent on Link's consolidated leverage ratio.

On October 20, 2025, Link entered into a Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by extending the revolving line of credit maturity date and updating the definition of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The revolving line of credit is now due and payable on August 12, 2029. In order to consolidate the various amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement incorporated the previous amendments to the Credit Agreement into a Restated Credit Agreement.

Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 consists of Link's Term Loan borrowings of approximately $25,700,000, of which approximately $890,000 is classified as current, and $9,100,000 related to the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2025.

Under the Term Loan, Link is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of Link (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and (c) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027 and thereafter of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly, based on rolling four quarters. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025.

The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender may accelerate the loan. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loan will automatically accelerate. The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively to our Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on August 13, 2019, a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on October 29, 2019, a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on June 30, 2020, a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on August 24, 2021, a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on December 9, 2021, a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on June 3, 2022, a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 11, 2023, a Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on September 26, 2023, an Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024, a Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.1 on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on June 5, 2024, and a Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lender as filed as Exhibit 10.20 to this Report on Form 10-K.

<u>Boston Omaha Broadband Credit Agreements</u>

On September 17, 2024, three operating subsidiaries of Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC ("BOB") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "BOB Credit Agreement") with First National Bank of Omaha (the "Lender") under which certain subsidiaries of BOB can borrow up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate in term loans (the "BOB Credit Facility"). The BOB Credit Agreement was subsequently split into separate credit agreements with each of the Borrowers in order to allow certain borrowers to apply for federal loan funding, hereinafter referred to as the "BOB Credit Agreements." All material terms of the original BOB Credit Agreement remain unchanged in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for FIF Airebeam, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC and the Credit Agreement for FIF Utah, LLC. The three operating subsidiaries which are the borrowers under the BOB Credit Agreements are FIF AireBeam LLC, FIF St. George, LLC, and FIF Utah LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"). The loans are guaranteed by BOB but are not guaranteed by BOC or any other businesses owned by BOC and its other subsidiaries. The loans under the BOB Credit Facility are secured by all assets of each of the Borrowers. Funds available under the BOB Credit Facility are to be used for capital expenditures associated with capital acquisition and leasing of capital equipment for expansion of the Borrowers' businesses.

On October 29, 2025, BOB entered into a First Amendment to BOB Credit Agreements, which modified the BOB Credit Agreement by extending the term loan draw expiration date to December 31, 2025.

The BOB Credit Agreements provided for incremental drawdowns of the term loan in minimum increments of $1,000,000. Each term loan is due five years following the borrowing date of such term loan. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding term loan end dates range from October 1, 2029 to November 18, 2030. Principal under each term loan is amortized in equal monthly payments over a 10-year period from the date of each term loan. Interest under each term loan accrues at the "Applicable Margin," which is set at (a) 2.75% per annum with respect to any SOFR Loan, and (b) 1.75% per annum with respect to any Base Rate Loan. There was a fee during the first year of the BOB Credit Facility equal to 0.25% of any unused portion of the $20 million loan commitment.

Pursuant to the BOB Credit Agreements, BOB is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of BOB of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly, based on rolling four quarters, and maximum capital expenditures not exceeding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less dividends and distributions paid to BOB, the cash portion of taxes, unfinanced maintenance capital expenditures, principal amortization payments or redemptions on indebtedness to be paid in cash, cash payments made with respect to capital lease obligations during the period, and cash interest expense for the period.

The BOB Credit Agreements include representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender may accelerate the loan. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loan will automatically accelerate. All assets of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and BOB are secured by the grant of a security interest in substantially all of their assets to the Lender. The foregoing summaries of the BOB Credit Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be a complete description and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of each of the BOB Credit Agreements, copies of which are included as Exhibits 10.22 and 10.28 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 consists of approximately $14,000,000 under BOB's credit facility, of which approximately $1,500,000 is classified as current, and approximately $34,800,000 under Link's credit facility, of which approximately $890,000 is classified as current and $9,100,000 is related to its revolving line of credit. Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 consisted of approximately $3,400,000 under BOB's credit facility, of which approximately $350,000 was classified as current, and $36,123,138 under Link's credit facility, of which $851,444 was classified as current and $9,600,000 was related to its revolving line of credit.

<u>Investments in Yellowstone Acquisition Company and Sky Harbour</u>

In 2020, we acted as the sponsor for the initial public offering of Yellowstone and purchased 3,399,724 shares of Yellowstone Class B common stock and 7,719,779 private placement warrants at a combined cost of approximately $7.8 million. On August 1, 2021, we entered into an equity purchase agreement with Sky Harbour LLC by which Sky Harbour LLC unitholders would acquire a majority interest in the combined businesses following the completion of a business combination. As part of the equity purchase agreement, and immediately prior to the completion by Sky Harbour LLC of a private activity bond financing raising $160 million in proceeds in September 2021, we purchased Class B Preferred Units in Sky Harbour LLC for a purchase price of $55 million, which Class B Preferred Units converted to 5,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination on January 25, 2022. Also, upon the closing of the business combination, we purchased an additional 4,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock for a purchase price of $45 million.

● Upon the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, our Class B common stock converted to Class A common stock of Sky Harbour and our private placement warrants are now exercisable to purchase 7,719,779 shares of Class A common stock of Sky Harbour.

● Each Sky Harbour Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, with each Sky Harbour Warrant being exercisable through January 25, 2027. Unlike Sky Harbour's publicly traded warrants, these warrants are not redeemable by Sky Harbour as long as we or permitted transferees hold these warrants. The Sky Harbour Warrants are also exercisable on a cashless basis.

● Our Sky Harbour Class A common stock and the Sky Harbour Warrants and the shares underlying the warrants were subject to a lockup which expired on January 24, 2023.

● Subsequent to the closing of the Sky Harbour business combination, we distributed 75,000 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock to the outside directors of Yellowstone and 206,250 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock to an investor in the Yellowstone IPO. As of December 31, 2025, we hold 11,671,494 shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and 7,719,779 Sky Harbour Warrants.

● All the shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Sky Harbour warrants to purchase Class A common stock that we hold have been registered under the Securities Act. However, our ability to resell any significant portion of these shares is limited by the large number of Sky Harbour shares and warrants we hold relative to the average trading volume of these securities.

<u>Future Working Capital Requirements</u>

We believe that our existing cash and short-term investments, funds available through the Credit Agreement Link entered into on August 12, 2019, as amended, funds available through the Credit Agreement Boston Omaha Broadband entered into on September 17, 2024, any funds that we may receive from cash flows from operations, and any funds that we may receive through the sale of the remaining real estate assets in the 24th Street and BFR Funds will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $28.6 million in unrestricted cash and $20.7 million in short-term U.S. treasury securities.

If future additional significant acquisition opportunities and expansion opportunities within our billboard and broadband services businesses become available in excess of our currently available cash, U.S. Treasury securities, and marketable equity securities, we may need to seek additional capital through long term debt borrowings, the sale of our securities, and/or other financing options and we may not be able to obtain such debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us or at all. In the future, we may use a number of different sources to finance our acquisitions and operations, including current cash on hand, potential future cash flows from operations, seller financing, debt financings including but not limited to long-term debt and line of credit facilities, including additional credit facilities which may or may not be secured by our assets or those of our operating subsidiaries, additional common or preferred equity issuances or any combination of these sources, to the extent available to us, or other sources that may become available from time to time, which could include asset sales and issuance of debt securities. In addition to current credit facilities at Link and Boston Omaha Broadband, any future debt that we incur may be recourse or non-recourse and may be secured or unsecured. Existing credit facilities at Link and Boston Omaha Broadband impose restrictions that could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions by limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our billboard, insurance, asset management, and broadband businesses. Specifically, these restrictions place limits on Link, Boston Omaha Broadband, and their subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make additional acquisitions and investments, pay dividends, repurchase stock, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge, consolidate, transfer or sell assets. Both credit facilities require Link and Boston Omaha Broadband to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio and other financial covenants. Link's ability as well as Boston Omaha Broadband's ability to comply with these loan covenants may be affected by factors beyond their control and a breach of any loan covenants would likely result in an event of default under either Credit Agreement, which would permit the Lender to declare all amounts incurred thereunder to be immediately due and payable and to terminate their commitment to make future extensions of credit. We also may take advantage of joint venture or other partnering opportunities as such opportunities arise in order to acquire properties that would otherwise be unavailable to us. Any future credit facilities which we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into would likely impose similar restrictions and risks.

We may use the proceeds of any future borrowings to acquire assets or for general corporate purposes. In determining when to use leverage, we will assess the appropriateness of new equity or debt capital based on market conditions, including assumptions regarding future cash flow, the creditworthiness of customers, and future rental and subscriber rates.

We conduct and plan to continue to conduct our activities in such a manner as not to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). Therefore, no more than 40% of our total assets can be invested in investment securities, as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act. In addition, we do not invest or intend to invest in securities as our primary business. Although we do not currently hold investments in an amount which would cause us to register under the Investment Company Act, we run the risk of inadvertently being deemed to be an investment company that is required to register under the Investment Company Act because a significant portion of our assets consists of investments in companies in which we own less than a majority interest. The risk varies depending on events beyond our control, such as significant appreciation or depreciation in the market value of certain of our publicly traded holdings, adverse developments with respect to our ownership of certain of our subsidiaries, and transactions involving the sale of certain assets. If we are deemed to be an inadvertent investment company, we may seek to rely on a safe-harbor under the Investment Company Act that would provide us a one-year grace period to take steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company. In order to ensure we avoid being deemed an investment company, we have taken, and may need to continue to take, steps to reduce the percentage of our assets that constitute investment assets under the Investment Company Act. These steps have included, among others, selling marketable securities that we might otherwise hold for the long-term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets. We have recently sold marketable securities, including at times at a loss, and we may be forced to sell our investment assets at unattractive prices or to sell assets that we otherwise believe benefit our business in the future to remain below the requisite threshold. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the Investment Company Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company in accordance with the safe-harbor. If we were unsuccessful, then we would have to register as an investment company, and we would be unable to operate our business in its current form. We would be subject to extensive, restrictive, and potentially adverse statutory provisions and regulations relating to, among other things, operating methods, management, capital structure, indebtedness, dividends, and transactions with affiliates. If we were deemed to be an investment company and did not register as an investment company when required to do so, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could become subject to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties, and/or that third parties could seek to obtain rescission of transactions with us undertaken during the period in which we were deemed to be an unregistered investment company.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not limit the amount of debt that we may incur. Our Board of Directors has not adopted a policy limiting the total amount of debt that we may incur. Our Board of Directors will consider a number of factors in evaluating the amount of debt that we may incur. If we adopt a debt policy, our Board of Directors may from time to time modify such policy in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our properties, general conditions in the markets for debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock if then trading on any exchange, growth and acquisition opportunities, and other factors. Our decision to use leverage in the future to finance our assets will be at our discretion and will not be subject to the approval of our stockholders, and we are not restricted by our governing documents or otherwise in the amount of leverage that we may use.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

Except for our normal operating leases, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, transactions or special purpose entities.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical results and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, all of which form the basis for making estimates concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In the notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements, we describe the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following represent the most significant estimates and management judgments used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

**Consolidation Policy**

The financial statements of Boston Omaha Corporation include the accounts of the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries, which are comprised of voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810, *Consolidation*. The equity attributable to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries is shown separately in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**Retention of Specialized Accounting**

Each of 24th Street Fund I and 24th Street Fund II, collectively "the 24th Street Funds," and Fund One Boston Omaha Build for Rent LP qualify as investment companies and apply specialized industry accounting. We report fund investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value, with gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value reflected within 'Other investment income' in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect different accounting policies for investments depending on whether or not they are held through a consolidated investment company.

**Goodwill**

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. We designated October 1 as the date of our annual goodwill impairment test. We are required to identify our reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. We analyze financial information of our operations to identify discrete segments that constitute a reporting unit. We assign assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations to those reporting units. We have identified four reporting units: billboard operations, broadband operations, insurance brokerage and insurance carrier operations, and asset management operations. We are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we would be required to book an impairment loss. For our annual review of reporting units, we employ a third party valuation expert.

We conduct a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on our goodwill, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, our market capitalization, and other relevant events specific to us. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, we may be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The fair value of each of our goodwill reporting units is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow approach that we use for valuing goodwill as part of the impairment testing approach involves estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the related assets, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

**Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses**

Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent estimates for the ultimate cost of unpaid reported and unreported claims incurred and related expenses. Estimates for losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on past experience of investigating and adjusting claims and consideration of the level of premiums written during the current and prior year. Since the reserves are based on estimates, the ultimate liability may differ from the estimated reserve. The effects of changes in estimated reserves are included in the results of operations in the period in which the estimates are updated.

**Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk**

At December 31, 2025, we held no significant derivative instruments that materially increased our exposure to market risks for interest rates, foreign currency rates, commodity prices or other market price risks. Our operations are currently conducted entirely within the U.S.; therefore, we had no significant exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Refer to Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

Not applicable as we are a "smaller reporting company."

**Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes, together with the Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms Deloitte and Touche LLP (PCAOB ID 34) and KPMG, LLP (PCAOB ID 185) thereon, are set forth below beginning on page F-1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

Not applicable.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer each concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.

**Management**'**s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which we refer to as "COSO 2013." Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of as of December 31, 2025.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures**

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Boston Omaha Corporation

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Boston Omaha Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of EisnerAmper LLP, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We did not audit the financial statements of Sky Harbour Group Corporation, the Company's investment in which is accounted for by use of the equity method. The accompanying financial statements of the Company include its equity investment in Sky Harbour Group Corporation of $74.3 million as of December 31, 2025, and its equity in income of Sky Harbour Group Corporation of $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Those financial statements were audited by EisnerAmper LLP, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Sky Harbour Group Corporation, is based solely on the report of EisnerAmper LLP.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit and the report of EisnerAmper LLP provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

***Real Estate Assets Invested by the Investments in Special Purpose Entities***– ***Refer to Notes 7 & 8 to the Financial Statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

The Company's variable interest entities of 24th Street Fund I, LLC, 24th Street Fund II, LLC, and Fund One Boston Omaha Build for Rent LP each hold investments in special purpose entities whose primary assets are real estate, for which third-party appraisals were obtained. Appraisals of the real estate assets held by the special purpose entities used an income capitalization and/or comparable sales approach to value the underlying real estate. The income capitalization approach used expected market rents and capitalization rates. The comparable sales approach used observable market transactions to value the underlying real estate. As of December 31, 2025, total investments in special purpose entities were $24.3 million.

Given the subjectivity in estimating these key assumptions, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether these underlying real estate assets were appropriately valued required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the key assumptions affecting these underlying real estate assets included the following, among others:

● We selected a sample of real estate assets and performed the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| o | Tested the underlying characteristics that served as the basis for the analysis to evaluate that the inputs to the estimate were accurate and complete. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| o | With the assistance of our fair value specialists: |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| o | Assessed the appropriateness of management's methodologies used to determine the fair value for the underlying real estate assets. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| o | Evaluated the reasonableness of management's future expected market rents by comparing the market rent assumptions to external sources, including signed and active leases of similar properties, and to contractual information of leases recently signed at the respective real estate asset. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| o | Assessed the reasonableness of the capitalization rates by comparing the selected capitalization rates to observable market sources. |

***Reserves for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses*** – ***Refer to Note 15 to the Financial Statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description* 

The Company's reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses relate to short duration surety insurance contracts. Key assumptions affecting these unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses include paid and incurred loss development factors and expected loss ratios, which are primarily driven by historical claims paid and incurred data and consideration of the level of premiums written during the current and prior years. As of December 31, 2025, reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses were $6.5 million.

Given the subjectivity of estimating these key assumptions, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether certain of these unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses were appropriately valued as of December 31, 2025, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our actuarial specialists.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to the key assumptions affecting certain of these unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses included the following, among others:

● We tested the underlying data that served as the basis for the actuarial analysis to evaluate that the inputs to the actuarial estimate were accurate and complete.

● With the assistance of our actuarial specialists, we developed independent estimates of the unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, utilizing loss data and industry claim development factors as needed, and compared our estimates to management's estimates.

Boston Omaha Corporation:

*Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Boston Omaha Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements).

We did not audit the financial statements of Sky Harbour Group Corporation (a 16.4 percent owned investee company). The Company's investment in Sky Harbour Group Corporation was $72.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and its equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliates of Sky Harbour Group Corporation was ($17.2) million.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Sky Harbour Group Corporation:

*Opinion on the Financial Statements*

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sky Harbour Group Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

*Basis for Opinion*

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*Critical Audit Matter*

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Constructed assets, long-lived assets, and cost of construction* – *Indicators of Impairment*

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had constructed assets and long-lived assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and cost of construction of approximately $349.8 million. As disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company monitors events and changes in circumstances representing triggering events that could indicate that the carrying amounts of constructed assets, long-lived assets, and cost of construction may not be recoverable at asset group level. Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess the Company's constructed assets, long-lived assets, and cost of construction for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used or its physical condition; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; significant changes regarding future occupancy; and changes in the local markets or economic conditions. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses potential impairment by comparing projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of the asset. These projected cash flows reflect in-place and projected leasing activity, market revenue and expense growth rates, anticipated holding period, and changes in economic and other relevant conditions.

We identified the evaluation of indicators of impairment as a critical audit matter due to significant judgment made by management in identifying indicators of impairment. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and audit effort in performing procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's significant assumptions related to the impairment evaluation including identifying events and circumstances that exist that would indicate the carrying amounts of constructed assets, long-lived assets, and cost of construction may not be recoverable.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. We obtained an understanding and evaluated the design of controls over the Company's impairment evaluation. Our procedures included, among others, assessing the methodologies applied and identifying the existence of any triggering events, including comparing estimated costs to completion to initial budgets, comparing lease occupancy rates at the asset group level, as well as performing trend analysis including revenue and net operating income at the asset group level year over year, and considering if the determination was reasonable considering the past and current economic performance of the airport projects and if consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. We tested completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its evaluation. We held discussions with management regarding known or expected changes in business conditions, asset utilization, strategic plans, or regulatory or economic factors that could affect the recoverability of constructed assets, long-lived assets, and cost of construction.

| **NOTE *2.***  | <u>**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**</u> |

---

**Consolidation Policy**

The financial statements of Boston Omaha Corporation include the accounts of the Company and our consolidated subsidiaries, which are comprised of voting interest entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities for which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany profits, losses, transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

*Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)* 

We determine whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. Our determination of whether an entity in which we hold a direct or indirect variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether the entity's total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity's activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based *first* on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary.

We analyze any investments in VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity's economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment.

We consider a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance including, but *not* limited to, the ability to direct operating decisions and activities. In addition, we consider the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time we become involved with a variable interest entity and reconsider that conclusion continually.

We consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. Such VIEs consist of *24th* Street Fund I and *24th* Street Fund II, collectively "the *24th* Street Funds," and Fund One Boston Omaha Build for Rent LP, which we refer to as "BFR".

Total assets of the consolidated VIEs included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets were approximately $32,000,000 and $49,000,000 as of *December 31, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. Total liabilities of the consolidated VIEs included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets were approximately $1,900 and $27,000 as of *December 31, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. As of *December 31, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, the aggregate fair value of the *24th* Street Funds' and BFR's investments in special purpose entities was approximately $24,000,000 and $47,000,000, respectively. During *2025,* the *24th* Street Funds' and BFR's investments in special purpose entities recognized other investment loss of approximately $6,900,000 and distributions to the funds of approximately $11,300,000. During *2024,* the *24th* Street Funds' and BFR's investments in special purpose entities recognized other investment income of approximately $8,000,000 and distributions to the funds of approximately $26,000,000. The assets of the consolidated VIEs *may* only be used to settle obligations of the same VIE.

|:---|:---|
| **NOTE *2.***  | <u>**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**</u> **(Continued)** |

---

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments, with the exception of U.S. Treasury securities, purchased with an original maturity of *three* months or less to be cash equivalents.

**Cash Held by BOAM Funds and Other**

Cash held by BOAM funds and other represents cash and cash equivalents held by consolidated BOAM Funds and other consolidated entities. Such amounts are *not* available to fund the general liquidity needs of Boston Omaha.

**Accounts Receivable**

<u>Billboard Rentals</u>

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of advertising agency commissions, sales discounts, and allowances for credit losses. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on our knowledge of our customers and historical experience of credit losses. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance to reduce the amounts recorded to what we believe will be collected. For all other customers, we recognize reserves for credit losses based upon historical experience of credit losses as a percentage of revenue, adjusted for relative improvement or deterioration and changes in current economic conditions.

<u>Broadband</u>

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for credit losses. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on our knowledge of our customers and historical experience of credit losses. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance to reduce the amounts recorded to what we believe will be collected.

<u>Insurance</u>

Accounts receivable consists of premiums, anticipated salvage, and reinsurance receivables. All the receivables have payment terms of less than *twelve* months.

Anticipated salvage is the amount we expect to receive from principals pursuant to indemnification agreements.

**Credit Losses**

We estimate credit losses on financial instruments based on amounts expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is estimated based on historical collections, accounts receivable aging, economic indicators, and expected future trends.

|:---|:---|
| **NOTE *2.***  | <u>**SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**</u> **(Continued)** |

---

<u>Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs</u>

Policy acquisition costs consist primarily of commissions to agents and brokers and premium taxes, fees, and assessments. Such costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts are deferred and amortized over the related policy period, generally *one* to *three* years. The recoverability of these costs is analyzed by management quarterly, and if determined to be impaired, is charged to expense. We do *not* consider anticipated investment income in determining whether a premium deficiency exists. All other acquisition expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

**Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are carried at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from four years to twenty years as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | ***Years*** | ***Years*** |
| Structures |  | 15 |
| Digital displays and electrical |  | 10 |
| Static and tri-vision displays |  | 10 to 15 |
| Fiber, towers, and broadband equipment |  | 5 to 20 |
| Vehicles, equipment, and furniture |  | 4 to 7 |

---

Maintenance and repair costs are charged against income as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated life of the asset.

Periodic internal reviews are performed to evaluate the reasonableness of the depreciable lives for property and equipment. Actual usage, physical wear and tear, replacement history, and assumptions about technology evolution are reviewed and evaluated to determine the remaining useful lives of the assets. Remaining useful life assessments are made to anticipate the loss in service value that *may* precede physical retirement, as well as the level of maintenance required for the remaining useful life of the asset.

Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset *may not* be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group before interest expense. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and would *no* longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

**Acquisitions**

For transactions that meet the definition of a business combination, we allocate the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition with any excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. The determination of the final purchase price and the acquisition-date fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed *may* extend over more than *one* period and result in adjustments to the preliminary estimate recognized in the prior period financial statements. For transactions which meet the definition of asset purchases, we proportionally allocate the purchase price to the assets based on their relative fair values acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically determined by using either estimates of replacement costs or discounted cash flow valuation methods. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, we estimate the cost to replace the asset with a new asset, adjusted for an estimated reduction in fair value due to age of the asset, and the economic useful life. When determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, we estimate the applicable discount rate and the timing and amount of future cash flows. Key assumptions utilized in estimating the future cash flows expected to be generated by each reporting unit primarily relate to forecasted revenues and premiums earned.

**Goodwill**

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are *not* individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test. We designated *October 1* as the date of our annual goodwill impairment test. We are required to identify our reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit. We analyze financial information of our operations to identify discrete segments that constitute a reporting unit. We assign assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations to those reporting units. We have identified four reporting units: billboard operations, broadband operations, insurance brokerage and insurance carrier operations, and asset management operations. We are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we would be required to book an impairment loss. For our annual review of reporting units, we employ a *third* party valuation expert.

**Goodwill (Continued)**

We conduct a qualitative assessment by examining relevant events and circumstances which could have a negative impact on our goodwill, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, reporting unit dispositions and acquisitions, our market capitalization, and other relevant events specific to us. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances described above, we determine that it is more likely than *not* that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. If industry and economic conditions deteriorate, we *may* be required to assess goodwill impairment before the next annual test, which could result in impairment charges. The fair value of each of our goodwill reporting units is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow approach that we use for valuing goodwill as part of the impairment testing approach involves estimating future cash flows expected to be generated from the related assets, discounted to their present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

We performed our annual measurement for impairment of the goodwill of our reporting units and concluded the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount at its annual impairment test date on each of *October 1, 2025* and *2024*; therefore, we were *not* required to recognize an impairment loss.

We did *not* complete any acquisitions during *2025* or *2024* so *no* additional goodwill has been recorded since *2023.*

**Purchased Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets**

We amortize intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives, which range between five and fifty years as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | ***Years*** | ***Years*** |
| Customer relationships |  | 10 to 15 |
| Permits, licenses, and lease acquisition costs |  | 10 to 50 |
| Noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreements |  | 5 |
| Technology, trade names, and trademarks |  | 10 to 20 |
| Site location |  | 15 |
| Capitalized contract costs |  | 10 |

---

Purchased intangible assets, including long-lived assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets *may not* be fully recoverable. Factors considered in reviewing the asset values include consideration of the use of the asset, the expected life of the asset, and regulatory or contractual provisions related to such assets. Market participation assumptions are compared to our experience and the results of the comparison are evaluated. For finite-lived intangible assets, the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly to future cash flows is evaluated against our historical experience. Impairment losses are recognized only if the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

**Asset Retirement Obligations**

We are required to record the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The liability is capitalized as part of the long-lived asset's carrying amount. With the passage of time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. Our asset retirement obligations relate to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation, and similar activities related to the decommissioning of our billboard structures and broadband towers.

**Investments, Short-term and Long-term**

Investments include U.S Treasury securities, marketable equity securities, and equity investments as discussed below. U.S. Treasury securities held by our insurance entities are classified as held-to-maturity and are accounted for at amortized cost. We have both the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. U.S. Treasury securities held by non-insurance entities are classified as trading securities and are accounted for at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses during the period are included in Other investment income. Marketable equity securities are stated at fair value. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized investment gains and losses are included in Other investment income.

**Equity Investments**

Our equity investments consist of investment in *three* private companies in which we do *not* have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial activities. These investments are carried at cost as there is *no* market for the capital stock, accordingly, *no* quoted market price is available. The investments are tested for impairment, at least annually, and more frequently upon the occurrences of certain events. In accordance with ASC *321,* we use the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

**Investments in Unconsolidated Entities**

We account for investments where we have significant influence but do *not* have a controlling interest, typically ownership of less than *50%* and more than *20%,* using the equity method of accounting. In accordance with ASC *323*-*30,* we account for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies using the equity method of accounting when our investment is more than minimal (greater than *3%* to *5%*). Our share of income (loss) of such entities is recorded as a single amount as equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates. Dividends, if any, are recorded as a reduction of the investment.

We monitor our equity method investments for factors indicating other-than-temporary impairment. We consider several factors when evaluating our investments, including, but *not* limited to, (i) the period of time for which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (ii) operating and financial performance of the investee, (iii) the investee's future business plans and projections, (iv) discussions with their management, and (v) our ability and intent to hold the investment until it recovers in value.

**Retention of Specialized Accounting**

Each of the *24th* Street Funds, and Fund One Boston Omaha Build for Rent LP qualify as investment companies and apply specialized industry accounting. We report fund investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value with gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value reflected within 'Other investment income' in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect different accounting policies for investments depending on whether or *not* they are held through a consolidated investment company.

**Funds Held as Collateral Assets**

Funds held as collateral assets consist principally of cash collateral received from principals, as well as U.S. Treasury Securities purchased with an original maturity of *three* months or less from cash collateral received, to guarantee performance on surety bonds issued by us, as well as all other contractual obligations of the principals to the surety.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to allocation of asset acquisition price between tangible and intangible assets, useful lives for depreciation, amortization, and accretion, impairment of goodwill, valuation of insurance loss reserves, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Fair Value Measurements**

We determine the fair value of our financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy, which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

**Revenues**

The majority of our advertising revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard structures and broadband internet services and are accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification *606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC *606"*),* and under ASC *842, Leases.* We refer to the Financial Accounting Standards Board as the "FASB" and Accounting Standards Codification as "ASC."

Premium revenues derived from our insurance operations are subject to ASC *944, Financial Services – Insurance*.

**Revenue Recognition**

*<u>Billboard Rentals</u>*

We generate revenue from outdoor advertising through the leasing of advertising space on billboards. The terms of the contracts range from less than one month to three years and are generally billed monthly. Revenue for advertising space rental is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Advertising revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for operations. Payments received in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue.

Another component of billboard rentals consists of production services which include creating and printing advertising copy. Contract revenues for production services are accounted for under ASC *606.* Revenues are recognized at a point in time upon satisfaction of the contract, which is typically less than *one* week.

The Company is utilizing the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC *606:* We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is *one* year or less. These costs are recorded within costs of billboard revenues exclusive of depreciation and amortization. We do *not* disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than *one* year. For contracts with customers which exceed *one* year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer.

<u>Deferred Revenues</u>

We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of being earned or when we have an unconditional right to consideration before satisfying our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is *not* significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred revenue is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within *twelve* months.

**Revenue Recognition (Continued)**

*<u>Broadband Revenues</u>*

Broadband revenue is derived principally from internet services and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract in the period the services are rendered. Revenue received or receivable in advance of the delivery of services is included in deferred revenue.

 *<u>Surety Bond Sales</u>*

<u>Premiums and Unearned Premium Reserves</u> 

Premiums written are recognized as revenues based on a pro-rata daily calculation over the respective terms of the policies in-force. The cost of reinsurance ceded is initially written as prepaid reinsurance premiums and is amortized over the reinsurance contract period in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. Premiums ceded of approximately $5,900,000 and $4,300,000 for the years ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, respectively, are included within "Premiums earned" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

<u>Commissions</u>

We generate revenue from commissions on surety bond sales and account for commissions under ASC *606.* Insurance commissions are earned from various insurance companies based upon our agency agreements with them. We arrange with various insurance companies for the provision of a surety bond for entities that require a surety bond. The insurance company sets the price of the bond. The contract with the insurance company is fulfilled when the bond is issued by the insurance agency on behalf of the insurance company. The insurance commissions are calculated based upon a stated percentage applied to the gross premiums on bonds. Commissions are recognized at a point in time, on a bond-by-bond basis as of the policy effective date and are generally nonrefundable.

**Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities**

Right of use, which we refer to as "ROU," assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. We have elected *not* to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all classes of underlying assets. Short-term leases are leases with terms greater than *1* month, but less than *12* months.

**Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses** 

Unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represent estimates for the ultimate cost of unpaid reported and unreported claims incurred and related expenses. We involve an independent, *third*-party actuary to assist us in the estimation of reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. Estimates are based on paid and incurred loss development factors and expected loss ratios, which are primarily driven by historical claims paid and incurred data and consideration of the level of premiums written during the current and prior years. Since the reserves are based on estimates, the ultimate liability *may* differ from the estimated reserve. The effects of changes in estimated reserves are included within cost of insurance revenues in our consolidated results of operations in the period in which the estimates are updated.

**Segment Information**

Operating segments are defined as the components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Our current operations for the years ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024* include the outdoor billboard advertising industry, the broadband services industry, the insurance industry, and the asset management industry.

**Earnings Per Share**

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to Class A common stockholders and Class B common stockholders by the weighted average number of Class A common and Class B common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, we had potentially dilutive securities in the form of stock warrants.

**Income Taxes** 

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic *740* which requires us to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carry forwards. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

Our policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, we recognized no interest and penalties. As of *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, we had no accruals for interest and penalties.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In *December 2023,* the FASB issued ASU *2023*-*09, Income Taxes (Topic *740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which requires companies to disclose disaggregated information related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2024.* We adopted this guidance prospectively as permitted, effective for the year ended *December 31, 2025.* Accordingly, prior-period amounts have *not* been recast and continue to be presented in accordance with previously applicable guidance under ASC Topic *740* (see Note *9*).

In *March 2024,* the FASB issued ASU *2024*-*02, Codification Improvements*, which makes targeted improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification by clarifying guidance, correcting unintended application issues, and improving consistency across various topics within GAAP. The amendments in ASU *2024*-*02* are effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2025.* We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In *November 2024,* the FASB issued ASU *2024*-*03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in expense captions presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2026.* We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In *July 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*05, Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*, which introduces a practical expedient. The practical expedient gives companies the ability to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do *not* change for the remaining life of the asset. The amendments in ASU *2025*-*05* are effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2025.* We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In *November 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*11, Interim Reporting (Topic *270*): Narrow-Scope Improvements*, which clarifies certain aspects of interim reporting guidance, including the application of existing recognition and disclosure requirements in interim periods. The amendments are intended to improve the consistency and clarity of interim reporting practices. The amendments in ASU *2025*-*11* are effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2026.* We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In *December 2025,* the FASB issued ASU *2025*-*12, Codification Improvements*, which amends various sections of the Accounting Standards Codification to correct errors, clarify guidance, and make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The amendments address a wide range of topics including earnings per share, beneficial interests, transfers of receivables, treasury stock accounting, and certain disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after *December 15, 2026.* We are currently reviewing this guidance and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

**Long-term Investments**

Long-term investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities held to maturity, investments in special purpose entities, and equity investments in *three* private companies. We have the intent and the ability to hold the U.S. Treasury securities to maturity. U.S. Treasury securities are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value and are held by UCS.

*24th* Street Fund I & *24th* Street Fund II*

On *May 1, 2023,* our subsidiary, Boston Omaha Asset Management, LLC, acquired 100% of the membership interests in *24th* Street Asset Management LLC, from the members of *24th* Street other than BOAM, for cash and BOC Class A common stock for a total purchase price of $5,016,494 in the aggregate. Prior to the transaction, BOAM indirectly owned 48% of the membership interests of *24th* Street. The consideration consisted of $2,759,072 in cash at closing, an additional $1,254,102 in cash subject to holdback, and 45,644 shares of BOC Class A common stock.

Each of the *24th* Street Funds' hold investments in special purpose entities whose primary assets are real estate. We include the *24th* Street Funds' investments in special purpose entities within long-term investments in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

*Equity Investments*

During *May 2018,* we invested $19,058,485 in voting common stock of CB&T Holding Corporation, which we refer to as "CB&T," the privately held parent company of Crescent Bank & Trust. Our investment represents 15.60% of CB&T's outstanding common stock. CB&T is a closely held corporation, whose majority ownership rests with *one* family.

In *July 2023,* we invested approximately $3,000,000 in voting preferred stock of MyBundle.TV Inc., which we refer to as "MyBundle." The preferred stock has *one* vote per share and is convertible into whole shares of common stock, determined according to the conversion formula contained in MyBundle's amended and restated articles of incorporation.

**Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates**

We have various investments in equity method affiliates, whose businesses are in real estate, real estate services, and private aviation infrastructure. One of the investments in affiliates, Logic Real Estate Companies, LLC, which we refer to as "Logic," is managed by an entity controlled by a member of our board of directors.

*Sky Harbour Group Corporation*

In *October 2020,* our subsidiary BOC Yellowstone LLC, served as sponsor for the underwritten initial public offering of a special purpose acquisition company named Yellowstone Acquisition Company, which we refer to as "Yellowstone". Yellowstone sold in its public offering 13,598,898 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and a redeemable warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Between *August* and *November 2020,* we invested, through BOC Yellowstone, approximately $7.8 million through the purchase of 3,399,724 shares of Class B common stock and 7,719,779 non-redeemable private placement warrants (the "private placement warrants"), each warrant entitling us to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. BOC Yellowstone, as the sponsor of Yellowstone and under the terms of the public offering, owned approximately 20% of Yellowstone's issued and outstanding common stock. The purpose of the offering was to pursue a business combination in an industry other than the *three* industries in which we owned and operated businesses at that time: outdoor advertising, surety insurance, and broadband services businesses.

On *August 1, 2021,* Yellowstone entered into a business combination agreement with Sky Harbour LLC ("SHG"), a developer of private aviation infrastructure focused on building, leasing and managing business aviation hangars. On *September 14, 2021,* our subsidiary BOC YAC Funding LLC completed the previously-announced investment of $55 million in Series B Preferred Units of SHG. In addition to our $55 million investment, we also agreed to provide SHG an additional $45 million through the purchase of additional shares of Yellowstone Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share through a private placement investment ("PIPE").

On *January 25, 2022,* Yellowstone completed the previously announced proposed business combination with SHG following stockholder approval. As a result, SHG became a consolidated subsidiary of Yellowstone and Yellowstone was renamed Sky Harbour Group Corporation, which we refer to as "Sky Harbour." In connection with the business combination, our Series B Preferred Units of SHG converted into 5,500,000 shares of Sky Harbour Group Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share. Also, in connection with the business combination, we entered into a subscription agreement with Sky Harbour, pursuant to which Sky Harbour sold to us 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $10 per share, for total cash consideration of $45 million.

On *November 2, 2023,* Sky Harbour entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which Sky Harbour agreed to sell and issue to the Investors at an initial closing an aggregate of 6,586,154 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and accompanying warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,141,600 shares of Class A Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $42,810,000. On *November 29, 2023,* Sky Harbour sold and issued to the Investors an aggregate of 2,307,692 PIPE Shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and accompanying PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000. Together with the *first* closing on *November 2, 2023,* the aggregate PIPE financing through the Purchase Agreement totaled $57,810,000. In connection with Sky Harbour's financing transactions occurring in *November 2023,* we recorded a dilution loss of approximately $2,200,000 within 'Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates' to reflect the change in our ownership of Sky Harbour's net assets.

On *October 25, 2024,* Sky Harbour entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which Sky Harbour agreed to sell and issue to the Investors at an initial closing an aggregate of 3,955,790 PIPE shares of its Class A Common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37,600,000. On *December 20, 2024,* Sky Harbour issued an additional 3,955,790 PIPE shares of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the exercise of all the rights to purchase additional shares provided to PIPE investors who participated in the *October 2024* closing for net proceeds of approximately $37,600,000, at a sale price of $9.50 per share. Aggregate proceeds from both closings were approximately $75,200,000, representing the full capacity of the equity raise. In connection with Sky Harbour's financing transactions occurring during the *fourth* quarter of fiscal *2024,* we recorded a dilution gain of approximately $5,100,000 within 'Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates' to reflect the change in our ownership of Sky Harbour's net assets.

All the shares of Sky Harbour Class A common stock and Sky Harbour Warrants to purchase Class A common stock that we hold have been registered under the Securities Act. However, our ability to resell any significant portion of these shares is limited by the large number of shares and warrants we hold relative to the average trading volume of these securities. Additionally, we currently retain the ability to name *one* director to the current *seven* member Sky Harbour's Board of Directors. We do *not* receive material non-public information from Sky Harbour or the director we have nominated to the Sky Harbour Board of Directors. The terms of the Sky Harbour business combination prohibited us from selling any of our securities in Sky Harbour prior to *January 25, 2023* and has since expired. If our 15.3% equity interest in Sky Harbour, comprised of 11,671,494 shares of Class A common stock, was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price as of *December 31, 2025* and *December 31, 2024,* it would be valued at approximately $105,000,000 and $148,000,000, respectively.

The following table is a reconciliation of our investments in equity affiliates as presented in investments in unconsolidated affiliates on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, together with combined summarized financial data related to the unconsolidated affiliates:

| **NOTE *8.***  | <u>**FAIR VALUE**</u>  |

---

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into *three* broad levels:

*Level *1* — Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

*Level *2* — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, including: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are *not* active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

*Level *3* — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or *no* market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

At *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, our financial instruments included cash, cash equivalents, receivables, marketable securities, investments, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments (level *1* in the fair value hierarchy). The carrying value of borrowings, if any, under our billboard revolving line of credit facility as well as our broadband term loan facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to us for these borrowings (level *1* in the fair value hierarchy). The fair value of borrowings under our billboard term loan facility is estimated using quoted prices for similar debt (level *2* in the fair value hierarchy). At *December 31, 2025*, the estimated fair value of our billboard term loan borrowings included within long-term debt was $24,700,000, which is less than the approximate carrying amount of $25,700,000. At *December 31, 2024,* the estimated fair value of our billboard term loan borrowings included within long-term debt was $24,500,000, which was less than the approximate carrying amount of $26,500,000.

*Warrants*

Our private placement warrants related to Sky Harbour are considered level *2* and measured at fair value using observable inputs for similar assets in an active market. Our re-measurement of the private placement warrants for the years ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024*, resulted in losses and gains of approximately $18,000,000 and $17,000,000, respectively, which are included within Other investment income within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Fund I, Fund II and BFR Special Purpose Entities*

We report fund investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value, with gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value reflected within 'Other investment income' in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each of the *24th* Street Funds' and BFR's investments in special purpose entities invested in real estate are categorized in Level *3* of the fair value hierarchy. The primary asset held by each special purpose entity is real estate, for which *third*-party appraisals were obtained. Appraisals of the investments in special purpose entities used an income capitalization and/or comparable sales approach to value the underlying real estate. The income capitalization approach used capitalization rates ranging from 5.43% to 6.62% and considered market rents in valuing the properties. The comparable sales approach used observable market transactions to value the underlying real estate. As of *December 31, 2025*, the aggregate fair value of the *24th* Street Funds' and BFR's investments in special purpose entities was approximately $24,300,000 and $46,900,000, respectively.

*Marketable Equity Securities*

On an investment life-to-date basis, we have realized net gains on the sale of equity securities within the marketable equity portfolio held at Boston Omaha of approximately $84,000,000. These amounts exclude any realized gains on equity securities held within the marketable equity portfolio managed by UCS.

*Sky Harbour Group Corporation Class A common stock*

We account for our 15.3% equity interest in Sky Harbour, comprised of 11,671,494 shares of Class A common stock, under the equity method. If our investment in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price as of *December 31, 2025* it would be valued at approximately $105,000,000. As of *December 31, 2024,* our equity interest in Sky Harbour was 16.4% and was comprised of 12,401,589 shares of Class A common stock. If our investment in Sky Harbour's Class A common stock was accounted for at fair value based on its quoted market price as of *December 31, 2024* it would have been valued at approximately $148,000,000.

*Marketable Equity Securities and U.S. Treasury Trading Securities*

Marketable equity securities and U.S. Treasury trading securities are reported at fair values. Substantially all of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded securities, level *1* in the fair value hierarchy.

The realization of deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, is dependent on the generation of future taxable income sufficient to realize the tax deductions, carryforwards and credits. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are recognized if it is determined that it is more likely than *not* that the asset will *not* be realized. As of *December 31, 2025*, the Company has only recorded a valuation allowance against certain state net operating loss deferred tax assets that it has determined to be more-likely-than-*not not* realizable.

As of *December 31, 2025*, we have available federal tax operating loss carry forwards of approximately $133.4 million. Of the $133.4 million, $7.1 million arose in tax years beginning before *December 31, 2017* and *may* be carried forward *20* years. The remaining tax net operating losses were generated in years beginning after *December 31, 2017.* Tax net operating loss carry forwards generated in years beginning after *December 31, 2017 may* be carried forward indefinitely but are only available to offset *80%* of future taxable income. We have available state tax operating loss carry forwards of approximately $99.8 million, which are available to reduce future state taxable income and expire at various times and amounts.

Pursuant to Section *382* of the Internal Revenue Code of *1986,* as amended, annual use of our net operating losses *may* be limited if it is determined that an ownership shift has occurred. An ownership shift is generally defined as a cumulative change in equity ownership by *''5%* shareholders'' that exceeds *50* percentage points over a rolling *three*-year period. We have determined that through *December 31, 2025, two* ownership shifts occurred; however, we do *not* anticipate that these shifts would result in any permanent limitation on our ability to utilize our net operating loss and credit carryforward amounts.

The reconciliation of our total income tax expense (benefit) at the federal statutory income tax rate and our actual effective income tax rate is as follows:

*Impact of recently enacted tax legislation*

On *July 4, 2025,* President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which includes several changes to the taxation of corporations that could impact the Company beginning in *2025.* The OBBBA permanently restored *100%* bonus depreciation under IRC Section *168*(k) for qualified property acquired and placed in service after *January 19, 2025,* which *may* affect the timing of depreciation deductions. In addition, the OBBBA reinstated and made permanent an EBITDA-based computation of adjusted taxable income for purposes of the business interest expense limitation under IRC Section *163*(j), which generally increases the amount of interest expense deductible in a given year. These provisions are *not* anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's cash taxes in *2025.*

On *April 25, 2022,* we filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-*3* (File *No. 333*-*264470*) that was declared effective on *May 11, 2022,* relating to the offering of Class A common stock, preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which we refer to as "preferred stock," debt securities and warrants of the Company for up to $500,000,000 (the *"2022* Shelf Registration Statement"). Additionally, in the *2022* Shelf Registration Statement, we registered for resale up to 8,297,039 shares of Class A common stock acquired in *2018* or earlier in private placements in accordance with the terms of a *2018* registration rights agreement. We will *not* receive any proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock by the selling shareholders. The selling stockholders are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or "MIT," as well as *238* Plan Associates LLC, an MIT pension and benefit fund and a limited partnership holding our Class A common stock for the economic benefit of MIT. In *May 2022,* we also registered 1,018,660 shares of Class A common stock held by Magnolia and Boulderado and their affiliates. All the shares held by Boulderado were repurchased by the Company in *May 2024* and, as a result, 522,231 shares of our Class A common stock are available for resale under that registration statement. As of *December 31, 2025*, certain of our stockholders still hold 7,713,933 registered shares of our Class A common stock. The *2022* shelf registration statement expired in *May 2025.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On *July 23, 2024,* the Board approved and authorized a share repurchase program (the *"2024* Share Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which the Company could repurchase up to $20 million of its Class A common stock, from time to time, in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule *10b*- *18* under the Securities Exchange Act of *1934.* The Board also authorized the Company, in its discretion, to establish "Rule *10b5*- *1* trading plans" for these share repurchases. The *2024* Share Repurchase Program went into effect on or about *August 15, 2024,* following the release of the quarterly report on Form *10*-Q for the quarter ended *June 30, 2024* and terminated on *September 30, 2025.* On *November 14, 2025,* the Board approved and authorized a share repurchase program (the *"2025* Share Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which we announced our intention to repurchase up to $30 million of our Class A common stock, from time to time, in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule *10b*- *18* under the Securities Exchange Act of *1934.* The Board also authorized the Company, in its discretion, to establish "Rule *10b5*- *1* trading plans" for these share repurchases. The *2025* Share Repurchase Program went into effect on or about *November 18, 2025* and will terminate on *December 31, 2026,* unless earlier terminated in the discretion of the Board. The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under the *2025* Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in applicable SEC regulations, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Pursuant to the *2025* Share Repurchase Program, the Company is *not* obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares of its Class A common stock and shall *not* repurchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its stock over the previous *20* trading days. The actual timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under *2025* the Share Repurchase Program will depend on a number of factors, including constraints specified in applicable SEC regulations, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. During *2024,* we repurchased 111,323 shares of our Class A common stock for a total cost of approximately $1,600,000 under the *2024* Share Repurchase Program. We did not repurchase any shares in *2025* under the *2024* Share Repurchase Plan due to numerous blackout periods during the *first nine* months of *2025.* During the year ended *December 31, 2025*, we repurchased 444,753 shares of our Class A common stock for a total cost of approximately $5,800,000 under the *2025* Share Repurchase Program.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As of *December 31, 2024,* there were 53,562 Class B warrants. Each share of Class B common stock is identical to Class A common stock in liquidation, dividend and similar rights. The only differences between our Class B common stock and our Class A common stock are that each share of Class B common stock has 10 votes for each share held, while the Class A common stock has a single vote per share, and certain actions cannot be taken without the approval of the holders of the Class B common stock.

On *January 10, 2025,* Magnolia Capital Fund, LP ("MCF") exercised, in full, Class B warrants, issued in *2015* and expiring in *June 2025,* to purchase shares of our Class B common stock. Under the terms of the warrants, MCF purchased 52,778 shares of Class B common stock at an exercise price of approximately $525,000 paid in cash. As a result, there are no outstanding warrants issued by BOC to purchase Class B common stock.

At *December 31, 2024,* there were 784 outstanding warrants for our Class A common stock. These warrants expired in *June* of *2025.* As a result, there were no outstanding warrants for our Class A common stock as of *December 31, 2025.*

**<u>Separation Agreement with Alex Rozek</u>**

On *May 9, 2024,* the Company, Alex B. Rozek, and certain other parties set forth therein, entered into a Separation and Stock Repurchase Agreement (the "Separation Agreement"). Effective as of *May 9, 2024,* Mr. Rozek resigned as an officer and director of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Mr. Rozek continues to serve as a member of the board of directors of Sky Harbour. All amounts due and payable to Mr. Rozek were paid in *2024* and *2025* and *no* severance, expense reimbursement or other sums are due to Mr. Rozek in *2026* or beyond under the Separation Agreement.

*<u>Securities Repurchase</u>*

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company repurchased from Mr. Rozek and Boulderado Partners, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Rozek, in the aggregate, 210,000 shares of Company Class A Common Stock, 527,780 shares of Company Class B Common Stock, and 51,994 warrants to acquire 51,994 shares of Company Class B Common Stock.

The price of the Class A shares repurchased was based on the *30*-trading day volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock for the *30* trading days ending *two* trading days prior to the execution of the Separation Agreement. The price of the Class B shares repurchased was based on the *30*-trading day volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock for the *30* trading days ending *two* trading days prior to the execution of the Separation Agreement plus a blocking/control premium, for which management employed a *third*-party valuation expert.

The aggregate purchase price paid to Mr. Rozek was $9,175,605, comprised of cash payments of $8,800,480 and 36,705 shares of Class A Common Stock of Sky Harbour. The aggregate purchase price paid to Boulderado was $9,951,113, comprised of cash payments of $7,960,891 and 194,738 shares of Class A Common Stock of Sky Harbour.

*<u>Separation and Benefits</u>*

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, (a) in *2024,* we transferred to Mr. Rozek 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 of Sky Harbour, as consideration for his efforts in connection with the successful launch of Sky Harbour, (b) Mr. Rozek received severance of $960,000, which was paid in equal monthly installments for a period of *18* months, and (c) Mr. Rozek received employee benefits of $75,000, which was paid in equal monthly installments for a period of *18* months, each of which are included within "Employee costs" within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended *December 31, 2024.* 

Mr. Rozek agreed to customary non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality, cooperation, and return of property covenants. As consideration for entering into a non-competition agreement, we paid Mr. Rozek $250,000.

In addition, Mr. Rozek and the named executive officers and board of directors of the Company agreed to a mutual non-disparagement covenant, and the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to retain Mr. Rozek as its representative on the board of directors of Sky Harbour until *December 31, 2026.*

*<u>Link Credit Facility</u>*

On *August 12, 2019,* Link Media Holdings, Inc., ("Link"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation ("BOC"), which owns and operates BOC's billboard businesses, entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with First National Bank of Omaha (the "Lender") under which Link could borrow up to $40,000,000 (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement provided for an initial term loan ("Term Loan *1"*), an incremental term loan ("Term Loan *2"*) and a revolving line of credit. Link initially borrowed approximately $18,000,000 under Term Loan *1* and $5,500,000 under Term Loan *2.* These loans are secured by all assets of Link and its operating subsidiaries, including a pledge of equity interests of each of Link's subsidiaries. In addition, each of Link's subsidiaries has joined as a guarantor to the obligations under the Credit Agreement. These loans are *not* guaranteed by BOC or any of BOC's non-billboard businesses.

On *December 6, 2021,* Link entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the original Credit Agreement by merging all outstanding principal amounts under both Term Loan *1* and Term Loan *2* into *one* term loan (the "Term Loan") having a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum, and increasing the total Term Loan borrowing limit to $30,000,000.

On *May 31, 2022,* Link entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement by extending the period of time under which Link *may* issue to BOC a cash dividend from *January 31, 2022* to *June 30, 2022* in an amount up to $8,125,000 in the aggregate.

On *April 6, 2023,* Link entered into a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment") with the Lender. The Sixth Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to provide additional flexibility for Link in making "Investment Capital Expenditures" by *no* longer deducting expenditures which qualify as Investment Capital Expenditures from EBITDA in calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. As a result, only "Maintenance Capital Expenditures" shall be deducted from EBITDA in testing the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The amount of unfunded Investment Capital Expenditures (Investment Capital Expenditures other than expenditures funded by BOC) allowable during any test period shall *not* exceed the Investment Capital Expenditure Available Amount during such test period.

On *September 22, 2023,* Link entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit loan facility from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.

On *February 14, 2024,* Link entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement to provide additional flexibility for Link to issue dividends to BOC.

On *May 30, 2024,* Link entered into a Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit loan facility from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.

On *October 20, 2025,* Link entered into a Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which modified the Credit Agreement by extending the revolving line of credit maturity date and updating the definition of the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The revolving line of credit is now due and payable on *August 12, 2029.* In order to consolidate the various amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement incorporated the previous amendments to the Credit Agreement into a Restated Credit Agreement.

As of *December 31, 2025*, Link has borrowed $30,000,000 through the Term Loan under the Credit Facility. Principal amounts under the Term Loan are payable in monthly installments according to a *25*-year amortization schedule. Principal payments commenced on *July 1, 2020* for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan *1* and *October 1, 2020* for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan *2.* The Term Loan is payable in full on *December 6, 2028.*

The revolving line of credit loan facility has a $15,000,000 maximum availability. Interest payments are based on the *30*-day U.S. Prime Rate minus an applicable margin ranging between 0.65% and 1.15% dependent on Link's consolidated leverage ratio.

Long-term debt included within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of *December 31, 2025* and *2024* consists of Term Loan borrowings of approximately $25,700,000 and $26,500,000, respectively, of which approximately $89*0,000* and $9*00,000* are classified as current, respectively. As of *December 31, 2025* and *2024* there was $9,100,000 and $9,600,000, outstanding, respectively, related to the revolving line of credit, which is included within long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the term of the Credit Facility, Link is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of Link (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended *June 30, 2024* of *not* greater than 3.50 to *1.00,* (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending *December 31, 2026* of *not* greater than 3.25 to *1.00,* and (c) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending *December 31, 2027* and thereafter, of *not* greater than 3.00 to *1.0,* and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of *not* less than 1.15 to *1.00* measured quarterly, based on a rolling *four* quarters. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of *December 31, 2025*.

The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender *may* accelerate the loans. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loans will automatically accelerate.

The aggregate minimum principal payments required on long-term debt as of *December 31, 2025* were as follows: $886,624 in *2026,* $923,257 in *2027,* and $23,861,896 in *2028.*

*<u>Boston Omaha Broadband Credit Facility</u>*

On *September 17, 2024,* three operating subsidiaries of Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC ("BOB") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "BOB Credit Agreement") with First National Bank of Omaha (the "Lender") under which certain subsidiaries of BOB can borrow up to $20,000,000 in the aggregate in term loans (the "BOB Credit Facility"). The three operating subsidiaries which are the borrowers under the BOB Credit Agreement are FIF AireBeam, LLC, FIF St. George, LLC, and FIF Utah, LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"). The loan is guaranteed by BOB but is *not* guaranteed by BOC or any other businesses owned by BOC and its other subsidiaries. The loans under the BOB Credit Facility are secured by all assets of each of the Borrowers. Funds available under the BOB Credit Facility are to be used for capital expenditures associated with capital acquisition and leasing of capital equipment for expansion of the Borrowers' businesses and had to be drawn by *December 31, 2025.* The BOB Credit Agreement was subsequently split into separate credit agreements with each of the Borrowers in order to allow certain borrowers to apply for federal loan funding, hereinafter referred to as the "BOB Credit Agreements." All material terms of the original BOB Credit Agreement remain unchanged in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for FIF Airebeam, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC and the Credit Agreement for FIF Utah, LLC.

The BOB Credit Agreements provided for incremental drawdowns of the term loan in minimum increments of $1,000,000. Each term loan is due five years following the borrowing date of such term loan. Principal under each term loan is amortized in equal monthly payments over a 10-year period from the date of each term loan. Interest under each term loan accrues at the "Applicable Margin," which is set at (a) 2.75% per annum with respect to any SOFR Loan, and (b) 1.75% per annum with respect to any Base Rate Loan. There was a fee during the *first* year of the Credit Facility equal to 0.25% of any unused portion of the $20 million loan commitment. As of *December 31, 2025,* the outstanding term loan end dates range from *October 1, 2029* to *November 18, 2030.*

Pursuant to the BOB Credit Agreements, BOB is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of BOB of *not* greater than 3.50 to *1.00,* a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of *not* less than 1.15 to *1.00* measured quarterly, based on rolling *four* quarters, and maximum capital expenditures *not* exceeding Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less dividends and distributions paid to BOB, the cash portion of taxes, unfinanced maintenance capital expenditures, principal amortization payments or redemptions on indebtedness to be paid in cash, cash payments made with respect to capital lease obligations during the period, and cash interest expense for the period.

The BOB Credit Agreements includes representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender *may* accelerate the loan. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loan will automatically accelerate. All assets of the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and BOB are secured by the grant of a security interest in substantially all their assets to the Lender. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of *December 31, 2025*.

As of *December 31, 2025*, there was approximately *$1*4,000,000 outstanding under the BOB Credit Agreements. The aggregate minimum principal payments required on long-term debt as of *December 31, 2025* were as follows: $1,500,000 in *2026,* $1,500,000 in *2027,* $1,500,000 in *2028,* $1,500,000 in *2029,* and $8,000,000 thereafter.

| **NOTE *13*.**  | **<u>LEASES</u>** |

---

We enter into operating lease contracts primarily for land and office space. Agreements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases include land lease contracts and contracts for the use of office space.

Right of use assets, which we refer to as "ROU assets," represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain of our operating lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of revenue and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflationary changes. Percentage rent contracts, in which lease expense is calculated as a percentage of advertising revenue, and payments due to changes in inflationary adjustments are included within variable rent expense, which is accounted for separately from periodic straight-line lease expense.

Many of our leases entered into in connection with land provide options to extend the terms of the agreements. Generally, renewal periods are included in minimum lease payments when calculating the lease liabilities as, for most leases, we consider exercise of such options to be reasonably certain. As a result, optional terms and payments are included within the lease liability. Our lease agreements do *not* contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The implicit rate within our lease agreements is generally *not* determinable. As such, we use the incremental borrowing rate, which we refer to as "IBR," to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC *842,* is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment."

**Operating Lease Cost**

Operating lease cost for the years ended *December 31, 2025* and *2024* is as follows:

This summary presents our current segments, as described below.

**General Indemnity Group, LLC**

GIG conducts our insurance operations through its subsidiaries, UCS and BOSS Bonds Insurance Agency, LLC, formerly known as South Coast Surety Insurance Services, LLC. Both BOSS Bonds and UCS clients are nationwide. Revenue consists of surety bond sales and insurance commissions. GIG's corporate resources are used to support BOSS Bonds and UCS, and to make additional business acquisitions in the insurance industry.

**Link Media Holdings, LLC**

LMH conducts our billboard rental operations. LMH billboards are located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

**Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC**

BOB conducts our broadband operations. BOB provides high-speed broadband services to its customers located mainly in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Utah.

**Boston Omaha Asset Management, LLC**

BOAM conducts our asset management operations. BOAM's primary objective is to achieve long-term returns while seeking to limit the risk of capital and purchasing power loss in our investments in other companies and our real estate activities. We commenced reporting BOAM as a separate segment based on our acquisition of *24th* Street Asset Management on *May 1, 2023* and are in the process of winding down its operations.

The accounting policies of the above segments are the same as those described within Footnote *2* "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".

Resources are allocated and performance is assessed by our CEO, whom we have determined to be our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM evaluates the performance of our segments and allocates resources to them based on segment operating income and segment adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), noncontrolling interest in subsidiary income (loss), interest expense, interest and dividend income, depreciation, amortization, accretion, gain or loss on disposition of assets, and other investment income (loss).

The cost and expense information provided below is based on the information regularly provided to the CODM. Given the diversity of our operating segments and the differences in revenue streams and cost structures, there are variances in the form, content, and levels of such expense information significant to the business. Expenses considered significant for one operating segment *may not* be significant in others.

On *April 2, 2024,* we entered into agreements with the minority members of each of FIF Utah, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC, entities controlled by us as majority member. Under these agreements, the minority members of each of the entities exchanged their membership interests in the LLCs for unregistered shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock. Under the securities exchange agreements, Alpine Networks, Inc., a company owned by Steven McGhie, the then Chief Executive Officer of Boston Omaha Broadband, and the sole owner of the minority interest in FIF Utah, LLC, exchanged its approximate 17% interest in FIF Utah, LLC for 275,611 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $4,400,000. The *two* owners of the minority interests in FIF St. George, LLC exchanged their combined 20% interest in FIF St. George, LLC for 563,750 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $9,000,000. As a result, Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, now owns 100% of the membership interests in each of FIF Utah, LLC and FIF St. George, LLC.

In each transaction, the value for the unregistered Boston Omaha Class A common stock was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of a share of Boston Omaha Class A common stock for the *30* trading days ended *March 28, 2024* as reported on the New York Stock Exchange. The difference between the fair value of the Class A shares issued and the carrying balance of the noncontrolling interests at the date of the transaction is recorded within additional paid in capital within our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

## Exhibit 4.7

**<u>Exhibit 4.7</u>**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT**'**S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED**

The following is a description of the capital stock of Boston Omaha Corporation ("Boston Omaha," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our") and certain provisions of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), our bylaws (the "Bylaws") and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC), of which this Exhibit 4.7 is a part.

**Authorized and Outstanding Stock**

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 41,000,000 shares of the Company, consisting of: (i) forty million (40,000,000) shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of which (a) thirty eight million eight hundred thirty eight thousand eight hundred and eighty four (38,838,884) are designated "Class A Common Stock" ("Class A Common Stock") and (b) one million one hundred sixty-one thousand one hundred and sixteen (1,161,116) shares are designated "Class B Common Stock" ("Class B Common Stock") and (ii) one million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of March 29, 2026, there were approximately 30,084,778 shares of Class A Common Stock and 580,558 shares of Class B Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

***Common Stock***

*Voting Power*

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except as required by applicable law. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their approval. Certain matters enumerated in the Certificate of Incorporation require the approval of each of the two directors elected by the holders of the Class B common Stock.

*Board of Directors*

The size of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") shall be no fewer than one (1) and no greater than seven (7) directors. The holders of record of the shares of Class B Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, are entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Company (the "Class B Directors"), which number of Class B Directors may be reduced pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Voting and First Refusal Agreement among the Company and certain stockholders, dated as of June 18, 2015, as the same may be amended from time to time. Any Class B Director may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) of the shares of Class B Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders. If the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Class B Common Stock elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Company other than by the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock. The holders of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Class B Common Stock and the Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Company.

*Dividends*

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends, as and if declared by the Board out of legally available funds. With respect to stock dividends, holders of Class A Common Stock must receive Class A Common Stock and holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a stock dividend equal to the amount of shares of Class A Common Stock that the holder of such share would be entitled to receive if it had been converted into a share of Class A Common Stock and been outstanding on the record date for such dividend or distribution.

*Liquidation or Dissolution*

Upon the Company's liquidation or dissolution, the holders of all classes of Common Stock are entitled to their respective par value, and the holders of Common Stock will then be entitled to share ratably in those of the Company's assets that are legally available for distribution to stockholders after payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of preferred stock then outstanding.

*Conversion, Transferability and Exchange*

Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock. Transfers of Class B Common Stock may automatically convert into Class A Common Stock unless such transfer is made to an affiliate of the holder of Class B Common Stock or is purchased by another holder of Class B Common Stock.

*Other Provisions*

None of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock has any pre-emptive or other subscription rights.

------

***Preferred Stock***

The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law and the Certificate of Incorporation, to determine the terms and conditions of the preferred stock, including whether the shares of preferred stock will be issued in one or more series, the number of shares to be included in each series and the powers (including the voting power), designations, preferences and rights of the shares. The Board is also authorized to designate any qualifications, limitations or restrictions on the shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, which could have a negative impact on the market price of the Class A Common Stock.

**Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws**

The provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and of the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that stockholders might consider in their best interests, including an attempt that might result in our stockholders' receipt of a premium over the market price for their shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of the Company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by the Board.

These provisions include:

*Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders*. The Bylaws provide that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that, subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, and except as otherwise required by applicable law), special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by the Board, the chairman of the Board, or, the Magnolia/Boulderado Control Group (provided that the Magnolia/Boulderado Control Group own at least 35% of the votes that are entitled to be cast by the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock). voting together as a single class. Except as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the Board to call a special meeting.

*Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Other Actions.* At any time when shares of Class B Common Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, amend, alter or otherwise change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Class B Common Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation, or amend, alter or repeal any provision of Section 3.3 of the Certificate of Incorporation (describing matters which require the approval of the directors elected solely by the holders of Class B Common Stock) without the approval of the directors elected by the holders of Class B Common Stock, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void *ab initio*, and of no force or effect.

*Advance Notice Procedures*. The Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to the Board to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given the Company's secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

*Authorized but Unissued Shares*. The Company's authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to rules of the securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is listed. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of the Company's common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

*Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders*. The Certificate of Incorporation provide that the Company is not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an "interested stockholder" (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to any anti-takeover effects of Section 203.

(d) <u>Payment of Principal, Interest, Fees and Other Amounts</u>. All payments of principal, interest, fees, and all other Obligations payable under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Lender via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Lender may from time to time specify to the Borrower (or in such other manner as the Lender may specify).

The Borrower shall pay any amounts so certified to it by the Lender within ten (10) days after receipt of any such certificate. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand such compensation.

Upon notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 6</u>.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

------

Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lender and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto.

(c) <u>Right of Setoff</u>. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any of and all of the Obligations held by the Lender.

(d) <u>Costs, Expenses, Fees and Taxes.</u>

(i) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel for the Lender) in connection with the Loans and the other transactions provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for the Lender) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this <u>Section 15(d)(i)</u>, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, and recording of, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered under any such Loan Documents, and agrees to hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees. The provisions of this <u>Section 15(d)(i)</u> shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(ii) If a payment made to the Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower.

(iii) All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds, without setoff, recoupment, deduction, defense or counterclaim and free and clear of, and, except as required by applicable law, without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, franchise, excise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of any kind now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or taxing authority, but excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction of its organization, the United States, the State of Nebraska or the City of Omaha, Nebraska or any taxing authority thereof (such non-excluded items, "<u>Taxes</u>"). If, under applicable law, any such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such payment, the Borrower will pay additional interest or will make additional payments in such amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Lender, after withholding or deduction therefor and for any Taxes and other taxes on such additional interest or amounts, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold the Lender harmless against, the full amount of Taxes, imposed on or paid or payable by the Lender, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Borrower provided for in this paragraph shall apply and be made whether or not the Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Determinations by the Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The agreements of the Borrower in this paragraph shall survive repayment of all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. Amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 15(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender makes written demand therefor.

------

(f) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. (i) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(ii) The Lender may, at any time, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, <u>provided</u>, that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Eligible Assignee (as defined below), and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Lender within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it). For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Eligible Assignee</u>" means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund, or other Person that is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933), or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, <u>15(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u> and <u>(l)</u>). The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent and collateral agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with this Section.

------

(iii) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan Commitments and the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) the Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, <u>15(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u> and <u>(l)</u> to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section; <u>provided</u> that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 1(d) as if it were an assignee under this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, or <u>15(d)</u>, with respect to any participation, than the Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. The Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that, the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in the Loans, or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 15(c)</u> as though it were the Lender.

(iv) In addition, the Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this <u>Section 15(f)</u> shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest.

(g) <u>Counterparts; Integration; Severability</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.) or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

------

(h) <u>Interest Rate Limitation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>"). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

(i) <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; etc</u>. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Nebraska. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court of the State of Nebraska sitting in Douglas County, Nebraska, and of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Nebraska state or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in the second sentence of this <u>Section 15(i)</u>. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in <u>Section 15(a)</u>. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(j) <u>WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY</u>. EACH PARTY HERETO MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOANS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(k) <u>USA PATRIOT Act</u>. The Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>Act</u>"), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

(l) <u>WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES</u>. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER THE BORROWER NOR ANY GUARANTOR SHALL ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE LENDER ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(m) <u>Confidential Information</u>. The Lender shall not disclose any information that the Borrower furnishes to the Lender hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents and designates in writing to be confidential (but not including any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public or that is or becomes available to the Lender from a source other than the Borrower) to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Lender's Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, (b) to actual or prospective assignees or participants or pledgee of the Lender's interests under this Agreement or any financing sources of the Lender, and then only on a confidential basis, (c) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating the Lender or (e) to any actual or bona fide prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations.

Section 16. <u>Reserved</u>.

------

Section 17. <u>Keepwell</u>. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations in respect of a Swap Obligation (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> constitute, and this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 18. <u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Related Hedging Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and each such QFC a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

As used in this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>18</u>, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

------

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following: (A) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (B) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (C) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

"<u>Default Right</u>" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"<u>QFC</u>" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

<u>provided</u> that (A) Excluded Assets will not include any Proceeds, substitutions or replacements of any Excluded Assets referred to in clauses (i) through (viii) above unless such Proceeds, substitutions or replacements would constitute Excluded Assets referred to in such clauses (i) through (viii); and (B) if and when any property that would constitute Collateral but for the provisions of this Section 2.2(a) shall cease to be an Excluded Asset, such property shall automatically constitute Collateral and, without any further action, each applicable provision of this Agreement, including the grant of liens and security interests pursuant to Section 2.1, shall automatically apply to such property.

------

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement excludes any assets from the scope of the Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Lender in any Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by the Grantors in this Agreement or the Credit Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest in the Collateral granted in favor of the Lender shall be deemed not to apply to such assets (if such asset is an Excluded Asset) or shall be deemed to be modified as appropriate to give effect to such exclusion, as applicable.

Section 7. <u>Remedies</u>.

7.1. <u>Generally</u>.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) personally, or by agents or attorneys, enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process (provided such entry be done lawfully and without breaching the peace); (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Lender deems appropriate and while the Collateral shall be so stored, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be commercially reasonable to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition; (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable; and (v) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.

------

(b) The Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Lender shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Lender at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) Business Days' notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Lender to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall remain liable for the deficiency and the reasonable and documented fees of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or Governmental Authorities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Grantor's expense. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.1 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Lender hereunder.

(c) The Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Lender may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d) The Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2. <u>Application of Proceeds</u>.

(a) Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all proceeds received by the Lender upon any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of, the Collateral (whether or not expressly characterized as such), or in any Insolvency Proceeding, together with all other moneys received by the Lender hereunder with respect thereto, shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in such order as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

------

(b) It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

(c) It is understood and agreed by each Grantor that the Lender shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 7.2, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

7.3. <u>Sales on Credit</u>. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, each Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Lender and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for any Collateral, the Lender may resell such Collateral and each Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

7.4. [<u>Intentionally Omitted</u>].

7.5. <u>Investment Related Property</u>. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 (the "<u>Securities Act</u>") and applicable state securities laws, the Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely as a result of it being a private sale, and that the Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Lender determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to be sold hereunder, from time to time to furnish to the Lender all such information as Lender may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Lender in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

------

7.6. <u>Intellectual Property</u>.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods:

(i) the Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, in the Lender's sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Lender in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Lender as provided in the Credit Agreement in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Lender shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section 7.6, each Grantor agrees to use, in its reasonable business judgment, all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor's rights in the Intellectual Property that is material to the business by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;

(ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Lender an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii) the Lender shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Lender, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor,

(1) to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; and

(2) such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon; and

------

(iv) the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to), by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions: (1) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in the Intellectual Property vested in the Lender in order to collect, enforce, or satisfy the Secured Obligations, in which event such right, title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Lender, in which case the Lender shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 6.1 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency; (2) use or sell the Intellectual Property; (3) use or sell the goodwill of such Grantor's business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks have been used; and (4) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents as the Lender may reasonably request further to confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or a foreign jurisdiction or applicable domain name registrar to the Lender.

(b) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, to the extent it has the right to do so, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located; and (ii) an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any document which may be required to effect any assignments or enforce any rights or obligations as provided for in this Section 7.

7.7. <u>Cash Proceeds</u>. In addition to the rights of the Lender specified in Section 4.2 with respect to payments of Receivables, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of Cash Proceeds shall, upon demand by Lender, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless such funds are deposited in a Deposit Account subject to a deposit account control agreement, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Lender, if required) and held by the Lender. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Lender (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, (A) be held by the Lender as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter be applied by the Lender against the Secured Obligations then due and owing in accordance with Section 7.2(a).

Section 8. <u>Continuing Security Interest</u>.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Credit Agreement, and be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.

Section 9. <u>Termination or Release</u>.

(a) This Agreement shall automatically terminate (other than provisions hereof providing for indemnities and similar contingent obligations) and the security interests granted hereby shall be automatically released upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Credit Agreement.

------

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral to a Person that is not a Grantor that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

Section 10. <u>Standard of Care; Lender May Perform</u>.

The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights or remedies against prior parties or any other rights or remedies pertaining to any Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if the Lender has dealt with such Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement and the costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 11. <u>Amendment; Waiver</u>.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to adding or releasing Grantors hereunder or thereunder or executing supplements or joinders to this Agreement, none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each Grantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Grantor hereunder or thereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Grantor other than the Grantor so added or released) and the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

------

Section 12. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 15(a) of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In the event that any provision hereunder directly conflicts with any express provision of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lender and the Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Lender and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 13. <u>Updated Schedules</u>.

Each fiscal quarter, at the time of delivery of quarterly financial statements pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a certificate setting forth the information required by the Schedules to this Agreement or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the Closing Date or the date of the then most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section, as applicable.

Section 14. <u>Governing Law</u>.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.

Section 15. <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

EACH PARTY HERETO MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

**GUARANTY**

Omaha, Nebraska

October 29, 2025

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of loans made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (the "<u>Lender</u>") to or for the account of FIF UTAH LLC (d/b/a Utah Broadband), a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Borrower</u>"), from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce the Lender, in its discretion, to make such loans or extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as the Lender may deem advisable, the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as "<u>Guarantor</u>" or "<u>the undersigned</u>") unconditionally guaranties to the Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of the Borrower to Lender and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which the Borrower or one or more parties and the Borrower is or may become liable to Lender, whether incurred by the Borrower as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by the Lender, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>") or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Guaranteed Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations in any case commenced by or against the Borrower under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of the Borrower for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Guaranteed Obligations but for the commencement of such case. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>No Impairment</u>. Lender may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Guaranteed Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, and may also make any agreement with Borrower or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Lender and the Borrower or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Lender may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "<u>Insolvency Law</u>") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Borrower, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of the Borrower and shall extend to any successor entity to the Borrower, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Guaranty Absolute</u>. The undersigned guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Borrower with respect thereto. Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of "continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility that the Borrower will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after the Borrower's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not the Borrower has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledges that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Borrower, have been made by the Lender to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Borrower shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Lender or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Lender or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party's liability or obligation under the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Borrower, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Lender shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Guaranteed Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Waivers</u>. (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against the Borrower or any other person liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Lender to do any of the foregoing. The Guarantor further consents and agrees that the Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among the Lender, the Borrower and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty, or which the Borrower may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by the Lender, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocable terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within five (5) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may determine, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of loans made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (the "<u>Lender</u>") to or for the account of FIF UTAH LLC (d/b/a Utah Broadband), a Delaware limited liability company (the "<u>Borrower</u>"), from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce the Lender, in its discretion, to make such loans or extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as the Lender may deem advisable, the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as "<u>Guarantor</u>" or "<u>the undersigned</u>") unconditionally guaranties to the Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of the Borrower to Lender and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which the Borrower or one or more parties and the Borrower is or may become liable to Lender, whether incurred by the Borrower as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by the Lender, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>") or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Guaranteed Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations in any case commenced by or against the Borrower under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of the Borrower for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Guaranteed Obligations but for the commencement of such case. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>No Impairment</u>. Lender may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Guaranteed Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, and may also make any agreement with Borrower or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Lender and the Borrower or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Lender may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "<u>Insolvency Law</u>") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Borrower, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of the Borrower and shall extend to any successor entity to the Borrower, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Guaranty Absolute</u>. The undersigned guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Borrower with respect thereto. Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of "continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility that the Borrower will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after the Borrower's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not the Borrower has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledges that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Borrower, have been made by the Lender to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Borrower shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Lender or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Lender or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party's liability or obligation under the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Borrower, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Lender shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Guaranteed Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Waivers</u>. (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against the Borrower or any other person liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Lender to do any of the foregoing. The Guarantor further consents and agrees that the Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among the Lender, the Borrower and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty, or which the Borrower may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by the Lender, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocable terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within five (5) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may determine, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Security</u>. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property of the undersigned in the Lender's possession shall be deemed held by the Lender as security for any and all of the undersigned's obligations to Lender, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Representations and Warranties</u>. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants (all of which representations and warranties shall survive until all Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated), that any representation and warranty made by the Borrower in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents with respect to the undersigned is true and correct in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Payments from Guarantor</u>. The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Guaranteed Obligations any payment from the undersigned or any other guarantor, or amounts realized from any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit account to be maintained as security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Costs</u>. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented expenses for legal services of outside counsel) relating or incidental to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Lender hereunder or under any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>No Termination</u>.

All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars at the Lender's Office or such other location as the Lender shall instruct the Borrower in writing. All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Lender hereunder (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest hereunder to the extent such interest is then due, and the balance on account of outstanding principal hereunder.

------

(h) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice a loan account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Loans, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to the Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The balance in the loan accounts shall constitute presumptive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any failure by the Lender to so record shall not limit or affect the Borrower's or any Guarantor's obligation to pay the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to the Lender one or more notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing the Term Loans.

3. <u>Interest</u>.

(a) Subject to <u>Section 3(b)</u> hereof, (i) Term Loans that are SOFR Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a per annum variable rate equal to Term SOFR <u>plus</u> the Applicable Margin; and (ii) Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a per annum variable rate equal to the Base Rate <u>plus</u> the Applicable Margin.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period and at any time following the Latest Maturity Date, at the sole discretion of Lender, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 2% above the per annum rate otherwise applicable under Section 3(a) (the "<u>Default Rate</u>"). The Lender may assess the Default Rate commencing as of the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as of any date after the occurrence of an Event of Default regardless of the date of reporting or declaration of such Event of Default.

(c) Accrued interest on the Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Day and on each Maturity Date; <u>provided</u> that (i) interest accrued pursuant to <u>Section 3(b)</u> shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Term Loans, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Term SOFR and the Base Rate, as applicable, shall be determined by the Lender, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

4. <u>Fees</u>.

(a) <u>Unused Commitment Fee</u>. From the Closing Date through and including the Term Loan Draw Expiration Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Term Loan Commitment, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Term Loan Draw Expiration Date.

------

(b) <u>Prepayment Fees</u>. If (i) the Lender demands payment of a Term Loan after an Event of Default and the Borrower thereafter prepays such Term Loan, or (ii) the Borrower voluntarily prepays a Term Loan at any time prior to the Maturity Date for such Term Loan, then the Borrower will pay Lender a prepayment fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the principal amount of the Term Loan prepaid calculated as follows: (A) 4%, if the prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Borrowing Date for such Term Loan (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans); (B) 3%, if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) for such Term Loan and on or before the second anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) for such Term Loan; (C) 2%, if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) for such Term Loan and on or before the third anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) for such Term Loan; (D) 1%, if the prepayment occurs after the third anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) of such Term Loan and on or before the fourth anniversary of the Borrowing Date (or the Initial Borrowing Date with respect to any FIF Airebeam and St. George Existing Term Loans) of such Term Loan; and (E) 0%, if such prepayment occurs thereafter.

(c) <u>Late Fees</u>. In the event the Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, or other amount payable under any Loan Document within ten (10) days following the date on which the same shall become due and payable, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a late fee in an amount equal to 5% of such past due amount. Such late fee shall be payable on the sixth (6<sup>th</sup>) day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day) following the date on which the past due amount was due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby understood and agreed that the payment of such late fee shall not operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lender under the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any Loan Document.

(d) <u>Payment of Principal, Interest, Fees and Other Amounts</u>. All payments of principal, interest, fees, and all other Obligations payable under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Lender via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Lender may from time to time specify to the Borrower (or in such other manner as the Lender may specify). At the sole election of the Lender, all payments of principal, interest, fees, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to <u>Section 15(d</u>), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of borrowings of Term Loans made hereunder or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintains with, or the under the control of, the Lender. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with, or under the control of, the Lender for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

5. <u>Increased Costs</u>. If the Lender reasonably determines that the effect of any Change in Law is to reduce the amount of any payment of principal or interest receivable by the Lender thereon, then the Borrower will pay to the Lender on demand such additional amounts as the Lender may reasonably determine to be required to compensate the Lender for such additional costs or reduction. Any additional payment under this <u>Section 5</u> will be computed from the Closing Date at which such additional costs have to be borne by the Lender. A certificate of the Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this <u>Section 5</u> setting forth the calculation of such amounts shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the determination by the Lender set forth therein. The Borrower shall pay any amounts so certified to it by the Lender within ten (10) days after receipt of any such certificate. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 5</u> shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand such compensation.

------

6. <u>Compensation for Losses</u>. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding any loss of profit) attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

7. <u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>. Subject to <u>Section 9</u> below, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan, the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, then the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 6</u>.

8. <u>Illegality</u>. If the Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, in each case until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, until it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 6</u>.

The provisions of this <u>Section 15(d)(i)</u> shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(ii) If a payment made to the Lender hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower.

(iii) All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds, without setoff, recoupment, deduction, defense or counterclaim and free and clear of, and, except as required by applicable law, without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, franchise, excise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other charges of any kind now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or taxing authority, but excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction of its organization, the United States, the State of Nebraska or the City of Omaha, Nebraska or any taxing authority thereof (such non-excluded items, "<u>Taxes</u>"). If, under applicable law, any such Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any such payment, the Borrower will pay additional interest or will make additional payments in such amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Lender, after withholding or deduction therefor and for any Taxes and other taxes on such additional interest or amounts, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold the Lender harmless against, the full amount of Taxes, imposed on or paid or payable by the Lender, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Borrower provided for in this paragraph shall apply and be made whether or not the Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Determinations by the Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower agrees to furnish promptly to the Lender official receipts evidencing payment of any Taxes so withheld or deducted. The agreements of the Borrower in this paragraph shall survive repayment of all Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

------

(iv) Amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 15(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender makes written demand therefor.

(e) <u>Indemnity</u>. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, the Lender's Affiliates, and the respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of the Lender and its Affiliates (each such Person being called an "<u>Indemnitee</u>") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Loans or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, brought by a third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; <u>provided</u> that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. Amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 15(e) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender makes written demand therefor.

(f) <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. (i) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

------

(ii) The Lender may, at any time, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, <u>provided</u>, that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Eligible Assignee (as defined below), and (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Lender within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it). For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Eligible Assignee</u>" means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender, (ii) a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund, or other Person that is an "accredited investor" (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933), or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses financial sophistication and standing similar to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, <u>15(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u> and <u>(l)</u>). The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent and collateral agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with this Section.

(iii) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a "<u>Participant</u>") in all or a portion of the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan Commitments and the Loans owing to it); <u>provided</u> that (i) the Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, <u>15(d)</u>, <u>(e)</u> and <u>(l)</u> to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section; <u>provided</u> that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 1(d) as if it were an assignee under this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Sections 5</u>, <u>6</u>, or <u>15(d)</u>, with respect to any participation, than the Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. The Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that, the Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in the Loans, or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Section 15(c)</u> as though it were the Lender.

------

(iv) In addition, the Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this <u>Section 15(f)</u> shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest.

(g) <u>Counterparts; Integration; Severability</u>. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity, and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.) or any other state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) <u>Interest Rate Limitation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>"). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

------

(i) <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; etc</u>. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Nebraska. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state court of the State of Nebraska sitting in Douglas County, Nebraska, and of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Nebraska state or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in the second sentence of this <u>Section 15(i)</u>. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in <u>Section 15(a)</u>. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(j) <u>WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY</u>. EACH PARTY HERETO MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO MAKE THE LOANS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(k) <u>USA PATRIOT Act</u>. The Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "<u>Act</u>"), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

(l) <u>WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES</u>. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER THE BORROWER NOR ANY GUARANTOR SHALL ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE LENDER ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

------

(m) <u>Confidential Information</u>. The Lender shall not disclose any information that the Borrower furnishes to the Lender hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Loan Documents and designates in writing to be confidential (but not including any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public or that is or becomes available to the Lender from a source other than the Borrower) to any Person without the consent of the Borrower, other than (a) to the Lender's Affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, (b) to actual or prospective assignees or participants or pledgee of the Lender's interests under this Agreement or any financing sources of the Lender, and then only on a confidential basis, (c) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (d) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating the Lender or (e) to any actual or bona fide prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations.

(n) <u>Survival</u>. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of the Loans on the Closing Date, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loans or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as this Agreement has not been irrevocably terminated.

Section 16. <u>Co-Borrower Provisions</u>.

(a) <u>Joint and Several Liability</u>. References in any Loan Document to "Borrower" are to each Person signing this Agreement as Borrower (each, a "<u>Co-Borrower</u>"). Each Co-Borrower's liability with respect to the Obligations is joint and several, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) below, including any allocation of losses and liabilities pursuant to such subsection or otherwise. Each Co-Borrower is a direct, primary and independent obligor, and no Co-Borrower shall be deemed to be a guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise secondarily liable for the Obligations. Each Co-Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with the Lender that (i) each Co-Borrower is engaged in operations that require financing on a joint basis and, accordingly, each Co-Borrower will materially benefit, directly or indirectly, from each Loan; (ii) each Loan has been offered to Co-Borrowers on a joint basis and would not be available to Co-Borrowers on an individual basis on the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement; and (iii) the benefits received by each Co-Borrower are reasonably equivalent to the obligations undertaken by each Co-Borrower.

(b) <u>Obligations and Allocations among Co-Borrowers</u>. If any Co-Borrower ("<u>Overpaying Borrower</u>") pays (whether directly or by application of Collateral), or is otherwise held liable for, obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share, the other Co-Borrowers will pay the amount of such excess to Overpaying Borrower and will indemnify Overpaying Borrower for, from and against any claims, damages, loss or liability arising from or related to such overpayment. Co-Borrowers agree to maintain books and records accurately reflecting each Co-Borrower's Pro Rata Share. This subsection is only intended to allocate payments, losses, and liabilities among Co-Borrowers in order that (i) as between Co-Borrowers, each Co-Borrower is ultimately liable for its Pro Rata Share; and (ii) the value to each Borrower of the resulting rights and claims against other Borrowers pursuant to this subsection will assure that no Borrower is rendered "insolvent" by virtue of the Obligations for purposes of any applicable Requirement of Law relating to fraudulent conveyances and similar claims. The rights and obligations among Co-Borrowers pursuant to this subsection shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations. "<u>Pro Rata Share</u>" means, with respect to any Co-Borrower, the amount of Loan proceeds actually advanced to, or on behalf of, such Co-Borrower as reflected on the books and records of such Co-Borrower.

------

Section 17. <u>Keepwell</u>. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations in respect of a Swap Obligation (<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> constitute, and this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>17</u> shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

<u>Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs</u>. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Related Hedging Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "<u>QFC Credit Support</u>" and each such QFC a "<u>Supported QFC</u>"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "<u>U.S. Special Resolution Regimes</u>") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "<u>Covered Party</u>") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

------

As used in this <u>Section</u><u> </u><u>18</u>, the following terms have the following meanings:

"<u>BHC Act Affiliate</u>" of a party means an "affiliate" (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

"<u>Covered Entity</u>" means any of the following: (A) a "covered entity" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (B) a "covered bank" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (C) a "covered FSI" as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

"<u>Default Right</u>" has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

"<u>QFC</u>" has the meaning assigned to the term "qualified financial contract" in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Section 19. <u>Amendment and Restatement</u>. On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document other than this Agreement (including in any amendment, waiver or consent) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to be, *mutatis mutandis*, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Existing Credit Agreement, amended and restated hereby and (iv) FIF Utah shall be released from all obligations and liabilities under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). This Agreement is not intended to constitute, and does not constitute, a novation of the obligations and liabilities under the Existing Credit Agreement or to evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

(i) unless permitted under the Credit Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lender, it shall not vote to enable or take any other action to (a) amend or terminate any partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents in any way that adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Lender's security interest in the Collateral, except for Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Sales, (b) permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest that is a Grantor or a Subsidiary thereof to issue any additional stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the right of purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interest of any nature of such issuer unless such stock or interests are pledged hereunder to the extent required hereby, (c) permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest that is a Subsidiary to dispose of all or a material portion of its assets in a transaction not constituting a Permitted Sale, (d) waive any default under or breach of any terms of any organizational document relating to the issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or the terms of any Pledged Debt, or (e) cause or permit any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is an issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the UCC) to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC; and

(b) <u>Covenants and Agreements</u>. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall notify the Lender in writing of any default under any Pledged Debt.

4.3.4. <u>Deposit Accounts.</u>

(a) <u>Representations and Warranties</u>. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants that: (i) <u>Schedule 7</u> hereto resets forth all of the Deposit Accounts in which each Grantor has an interest.

Section 5. <u>Further Assurances; Additional Grantors</u>.

5.1. <u>Further Assurances</u>.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all such instruments and documents, and take all such other action, that the Lender may reasonably request in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of any security interest granted hereby to the extent contemplated hereby, and it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Lender may reasonably request in order to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Collateral Document with respect to any Collateral.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes, at such Grantor's expense, the Lender to file a Record or Records, including financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Lender may determine, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the Lender herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Lender herein, including describing such property as "all assets" or "all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired" or words of similar description.

(c) In addition, each Grantor, at such Grantor's expense, hereby ratifies and approves the authorization of the Lender to file any financing statements with respect to the Collateral. In the event that the description of the Collateral in any such financing statement includes assets that do not constitute Collateral, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by such Grantor to the extent of the Collateral included in such description, and any such inaccuracy in such financing statement shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral. Each Grantor, at such Grantor's expense, irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Lender to adopt (but the Lender shall have no duty to adopt) on its behalf any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to in any manner limit any other authorization by any Grantor of the filing of financing statements by or on such Grantor's behalf or for the benefit of the Lender.

------

5.2. <u>Additional Grantors</u>. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, to the extent required by the Loan Documents, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an "<u>Additional Grantor</u>"), by executing a joinder to this Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. Upon delivery of any such joinder to the Lender, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Lender not to cause any Subsidiary of Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

Section 6. <u>Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact</u>.

6.1. <u>Power of Attorney</u>. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods (or at any time in the cases of Section 6.1(e) and 6.1(f)), to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Lender may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, including the following: (a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement; (b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (c) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b); (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Lender may reasonably request for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements or continuations thereof, or amendments thereto, against such Grantor as debtor; (f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor; (g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including actions to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion, any such payments made by the Lender to become obligations of such Grantor to the Lender, due and payable immediately without demand; and (h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Lender's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Lender's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

------

6.2. <u>No Duty on the Part of Lender</u>. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Lender in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own bad faith, material breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

Section 7. <u>Remedies</u>.

7.1. <u>Generally</u>.

(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or the other Loan Documents or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) personally, or by agents or attorneys, enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process (provided such entry be done lawfully and without breaching the peace); (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Lender deems appropriate and while the Collateral shall be so stored, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be commercially reasonable to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition; (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable; and (v) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2.

------

(b) The Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Lender shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Lender at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) Business Days' notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Lender to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any claims against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall remain liable for the deficiency and the reasonable and documented fees of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or Governmental Authorities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Grantor's expense. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.1 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Lender hereunder.

(c) The Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Lender may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d) The Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

7.2. <u>Application of Proceeds</u>.

(a) Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all proceeds received by the Lender upon any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of, the Collateral (whether or not expressly characterized as such), or in any Insolvency Proceeding, together with all other moneys received by the Lender hereunder with respect thereto, shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in such order as the Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.

------

(b) It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

(c) It is understood and agreed by each Grantor that the Lender shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 7.2, in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

7.3. <u>Sales on Credit</u>. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, each Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Lender and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for any Collateral, the Lender may resell such Collateral and each Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

7.4. [<u>Intentionally Omitted</u>].

7.5. <u>Investment Related Property</u>. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 (the "<u>Securities Act</u>") and applicable state securities laws, the Lender may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely as a result of it being a private sale, and that the Lender shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Lender determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to be sold hereunder, from time to time to furnish to the Lender all such information as Lender may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Lender in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

------

7.6. <u>Intellectual Property</u>.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods:

(i) the Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Lender or otherwise, in the Lender's sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Lender, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Lender in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Lender as provided in the Credit Agreement in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Lender shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section 7.6, each Grantor agrees to use, in its reasonable business judgment, all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor's rights in the Intellectual Property that is material to the business by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;

(ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Lender an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;

(iii) the Lender shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Lender, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor,

(1) to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; and

(2) such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon; and

------

(iv) the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to), by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions: (1) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in the Intellectual Property vested in the Lender in order to collect, enforce, or satisfy the Secured Obligations, in which event such right, title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Lender, in which case the Lender shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in Section 6.1 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency; (2) use or sell the Intellectual Property; (3) use or sell the goodwill of such Grantor's business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks have been used; and (4) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents as the Lender may reasonably request further to confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or a foreign jurisdiction or applicable domain name registrar to the Lender.

(b) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, to the extent it has the right to do so, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located; and (ii) an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any document which may be required to effect any assignments or enforce any rights or obligations as provided for in this Section 7.

7.7. <u>Cash Proceeds</u>. In addition to the rights of the Lender specified in Section 4.2 with respect to payments of Receivables, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of Cash Proceeds shall, upon demand by Lender, be held by such Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless such funds are deposited in a Deposit Account subject to a deposit account control agreement, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Lender, if required) and held by the Lender. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Lender (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Lender, (A) be held by the Lender as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter be applied by the Lender against the Secured Obligations then due and owing in accordance with Section 7.2(a).

Section 8. <u>Continuing Security Interest</u>.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Credit Agreement, and be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder, to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns.

Section 9. <u>Termination or Release</u>.

(a) This Agreement shall automatically terminate (other than provisions hereof providing for indemnities and similar contingent obligations) and the security interests granted hereby shall be automatically released upon the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations and the irrevocable termination of the Credit Agreement.

------

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral to a Person that is not a Grantor that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

Section 10. <u>Standard of Care; Lender May Perform</u>.

The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights or remedies against prior parties or any other rights or remedies pertaining to any Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if the Lender has dealt with such Collateral in the same manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement and the costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 11. <u>Amendment; Waiver</u>.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to adding or releasing Grantors hereunder or thereunder or executing supplements or joinders to this Agreement, none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each Grantor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Grantor hereunder or thereunder shall not constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Grantor other than the Grantor so added or released) and the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Section 12. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 15(a) of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. In the event that any provision hereunder directly conflicts with any express provision of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Lender and the Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Lender and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

------

Section 13. <u>Updated Schedules</u>.

Each fiscal quarter, at the time of delivery of quarterly financial statements pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a certificate setting forth the information required by the Schedules to this Agreement or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the Closing Date or the date of the then most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section, as applicable.

Section 14. <u>Governing Law</u>.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA.

Section 15. <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

EACH PARTY HERETO MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 16. <u>Amendment and Restatement; No Novation</u>.

On the Closing Date, that certain Security Agreement dated as of September 17, 2024 (the "<u>Existing Security Agreement</u>") by Grantors and FIF Utah LLC (d/b/a Utah Broadband), a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>FIF Utah</u>"), in favor of Lender shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and (i) all references to the Existing Security Agreement in any Loan Document other than this Agreement (including in any amendment, waiver or consent) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Security Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Security Agreement in any Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to be, *mutatis mutandis*, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Existing Security Agreement, amended and restated hereby, (iv) FIF Utah shall be released from all obligations and liabilities under the Existing Security Agreement and (v) all liens of the Lender in all assets and property of FIF Utah granted under the Existing Security Agreement are hereby released and terminated. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, and does not constitute, a novation of the obligations and liabilities under the Existing Security Agreement or to evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

**GUARANTY**

Omaha, Nebraska

October 29, 2025

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of loans made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (the "<u>Lender</u>") to or for the account of FIF AIREBEAM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and FIF ST. GEORGE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (d/b/a InfoWest) (collectively, the "<u>Borrower</u>"), from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce the Lender, in its discretion, to make such loans or extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as the Lender may deem advisable, the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as "<u>Guarantor</u>" or "<u>the undersigned</u>") unconditionally guaranties to the Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of the Borrower to Lender and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which the Borrower or one or more parties and the Borrower is or may become liable to Lender, whether incurred by the Borrower as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by the Lender, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>") or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Guaranteed Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations in any case commenced by or against the Borrower under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of the Borrower for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Guaranteed Obligations but for the commencement of such case. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>No Impairment</u>. Lender may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Guaranteed Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, and may also make any agreement with Borrower or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Lender and the Borrower or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Lender may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "<u>Insolvency Law</u>") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Borrower, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of the Borrower and shall extend to any successor entity to the Borrower, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Guaranty Absolute</u>. The undersigned guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Borrower with respect thereto. Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of "continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility that the Borrower will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after the Borrower's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not the Borrower has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledges that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Borrower, have been made by the Lender to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Borrower shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Lender or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Lender or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party's liability or obligation under the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Borrower, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Lender shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Guaranteed Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Waivers</u>. (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against the Borrower or any other person liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Lender to do any of the foregoing. The Guarantor further consents and agrees that the Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among the Lender, the Borrower and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty, or which the Borrower may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by the Lender, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocable terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within five (5) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may determine, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Security</u>. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property of the undersigned in the Lender's possession shall be deemed held by the Lender as security for any and all of the undersigned's obligations to Lender, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Representations and Warranties</u>. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants (all of which representations and warranties shall survive until all Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated), that any representation and warranty made by the Borrower in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents with respect to the undersigned is true and correct in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Covenants</u>. The undersigned covenants and agrees that until all Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated that it will comply with all covenants in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are applicable to it as if such covenants and agreements were set forth in this Guaranty.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Acceleration</u>. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under the Credit Agreement, or the undersigned should at any time become insolvent, or make a general assignment, or if a proceeding in or under any Insolvency Law shall be filed or commenced by, or in respect of, the undersigned, any and all Guaranteed Obligations shall for purposes hereof, at the Lender's option, be deemed due and payable without notice notwithstanding that any such Guaranteed Obligation is not then due and payable by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Payments from Guarantor</u>. The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Guaranteed Obligations any payment from the undersigned or any other guarantor, or amounts realized from any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit account to be maintained as security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Costs</u>. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented expenses for legal services of outside counsel) relating or incidental to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Lender hereunder or under any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>No Termination</u>. This is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the undersigned, and the undersigned's successors and assigns, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated. If any of the present or future Guaranteed Obligations are guaranteed by persons, partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations in addition to the undersigned, the death, release or discharge in whole or in part or the bankruptcy, merger, consolidation, incorporation, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Limitation on Guaranty</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of the undersigned's obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which the undersigned may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Recapture</u>. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Lender or receives any payment or payments on account of the liabilities guaranteed hereby, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any Insolvency Law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Lender, the undersigned's obligations to the Lender shall be reinstated and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Lender, which payment shall be due on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>No Waiver</u>. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Lender or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time.

GEORGE, LLC (d/b/a InfoWest), a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the "<u>Borrower</u>") from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce the Lender, in its discretion, to make such loans or extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as the Lender may deem advisable, the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as "<u>Guarantor</u>" or "<u>the undersigned</u>") unconditionally guaranties to the Lender and its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of the Borrower to Lender and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which the Borrower or one or more parties and the Borrower is or may become liable to Lender, whether incurred by the Borrower as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by the Lender, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2025 between the Lender and the Borrower (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>") or any other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>"), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Guaranteed Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations in any case commenced by or against the Borrower under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of the Borrower for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Guaranteed Obligations but for the commencement of such case. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>No Impairment</u>. Lender may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Guaranteed Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, and may also make any agreement with Borrower or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Lender and the Borrower or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Lender may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "<u>Insolvency Law</u>") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Borrower, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of the Borrower and shall extend to any successor entity to the Borrower, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Guaranty Absolute</u>. The undersigned guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Borrower with respect thereto. Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of "continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility that the Borrower will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after the Borrower's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not the Borrower has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledges that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Borrower, have been made by the Lender to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Borrower shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Lender or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Lender or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party's liability or obligation under the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Borrower, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Lender shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Guaranteed Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

------

3. <u>Waivers</u>. (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against the Borrower or any other person liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Lender to do any of the foregoing. The Guarantor further consents and agrees that the Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among the Lender, the Borrower and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty, or which the Borrower may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Borrower's financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by the Lender, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocable terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within five (5) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Lender may determine, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future debts and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Security</u>. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property of the undersigned in the Lender's possession shall be deemed held by the Lender as security for any and all of the undersigned's obligations to Lender, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Representations and Warranties</u>. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants (all of which representations and warranties shall survive until all Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated), that any representation and warranty made by the Borrower in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents with respect to the undersigned is true and correct in all material respects.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Covenants</u>. The undersigned covenants and agrees that until all Guaranteed Obligations are satisfied in full in cash and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated that it will comply with all covenants in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are applicable to it as if such covenants and agreements were set forth in this Guaranty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Acceleration</u>. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under the Credit Agreement, or the undersigned should at any time become insolvent, or make a general assignment, or if a proceeding in or under any Insolvency Law shall be filed or commenced by, or in respect of, the undersigned, any and all Guaranteed Obligations shall for purposes hereof, at the Lender's option, be deemed due and payable without notice notwithstanding that any such Guaranteed Obligation is not then due and payable by the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Payments from Guarantor</u>. The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Guaranteed Obligations any payment from the undersigned or any other guarantor, or amounts realized from any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit account to be maintained as security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>Costs</u>. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented expenses for legal services of outside counsel) relating or incidental to the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Lender hereunder or under any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>No Termination</u>. This is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the undersigned, and the undersigned's successors and assigns, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit Agreement has been irrevocably terminated. If any of the present or future Guaranteed Obligations are guaranteed by persons, partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations in addition to the undersigned, the death, release or discharge in whole or in part or the bankruptcy, merger, consolidation, incorporation, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>Limitation on Guaranty</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of the undersigned's obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which the undersigned may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Recapture</u>. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Lender or receives any payment or payments on account of the liabilities guaranteed hereby, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any Insolvency Law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Lender, the undersigned's obligations to the Lender shall be reinstated and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Lender, which payment shall be due on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Intentionally Omitted</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>No Waiver</u>. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Lender or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. THE UNDERSIGNED DOES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR RELATING OR INCIDENTAL HERETO. THE UNDERSIGNED DOES HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Amendments</u>. THIS INSTRUMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED ORALLY, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED AS TO VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA. THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESSLY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA SITTING IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEBRASKA, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE STATE OF NEBRASKA FOR ALL PURPOSES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE UNDERSIGNED AGAINST THE LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ANY MATTER OR CLAIM IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED HEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA SITTING IN DOUGLAS COUNTY, NEBRASKA OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE STATE OF NEBRASKA. THE UNDERSIGNED FURTHER CONSENTS THAT ANY SUMMONS, SUBPOENA OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY NOTICE OR MOTION OR OTHER APPLICATION TO EITHER OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS OR A JUDGE THEREOF) OR ANY NOTICE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDINGS HEREUNDER, MAY BE SERVED BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE PROVIDED A REASONABLE TIME FOR APPEARANCE IS PERMITTED, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMISSIBLE UNDER THE RULES OF SAID COURTS. THE UNDERSIGNED WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREON AND SHALL NOT ASSERT ANY DEFENSE BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR VENUE OR BASED UPON FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Severability</u>. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

<u>**Exhibit 19**</u>

**BOSTON OMAHA CORPORATION**

**INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

and Guidelines with Respect to Certain Transactions in Company Securities

(As approved December 31, 2015; as amended on December 11, 2023)

**SECTION I**

**APPLICABILITY AND OVERVIEW OF POLICY**

This Policy applies to all transactions in Boston Omaha Corporation (the "**Company**") securities, including common stock, options and warrants to purchase common stock and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time, such as preferred stock, and convertible debentures, as well as derivative securities relating to the Company's stock, whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded options. It applies to all officers and directors of the Company, all other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, all secretaries and assistants supporting such directors, officers and employees, and consultants or advisors to the Company or its subsidiaries who have or may have access to material nonpublic information regarding the Company and members of the immediate family or household of any such person. This Policy also applies to any person who receives material nonpublic information from any Insider.

Any person who possesses material nonpublic information regarding the Company is an Insider for so long as such information is not publicly known.

All employees are required to refrain from investing in publicly traded securities based on material nonpublic inside information. This Policy is based on the U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit any person from:

● trading on the basis of material nonpublic information;

● tipping such information to others;

● recommending the purchase or sale of securities on the basis of such information;

● assisting someone who is engaged in any of the above activities; and

● trading a security, which is the subject of an actual or impending tender offer when in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the offer.

This includes any confidential information that may be obtained by all employees, regarding the advisability of purchasing or selling specific securities for any investment vehicles or on behalf of clients. Additionally, this Policy includes any confidential information that may be obtained about the Company or any of its affiliated entities.

All employees, and particularly executives, managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within the Company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and both federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to their immediate supervisor and to the chairman of the Company's Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. For a more complete understanding of this issue, employees should seek the advice of the Company's legal counsel.

**SECTION II**

**MATERIAL INFORMATION**

Information is material when there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions. Generally, if disclosing certain information will have a substantial effect on the price of a company's securities, on the perceived value of the company, or of a controlling interest in the company, the information is material, but information may be material even if it does not have any immediate direct effect on price or value. While it may be difficult to determine whether particular information is material, there are various categories of information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be considered material. Examples of such information may include:

● Financial results;

● Entry into a material agreement or discussions regarding entry into a material agreement;

● Projections of future earnings or losses;

● Major contract awards, cancellations or write-offs;

● Joint ventures or commercial ventures with third parties;

● News of a pending or proposed merger or acquisition;

● News of the disposition of material assets;

● Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;

● Gain or loss of a significant line of credit;

● New business or services announcements of a significant nature;

● Stock splits;

● New equity or debt offerings;

● Significant litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation;

● Changes in senior management or the Board of Directors;

● Capital investment plans; and

● Changes in dividend policy.

There is no simple "bright line" test to determine when information is material and assessments of materiality involve a highly fact-specific inquiry. For this reason, any question as to whether information is material should be directed to the Company's designated Compliance Officer.

------

**SECTION III**

**NONPUBLIC INFORMATION**

Information about a publicly traded security or issuer is "public" when it has been disseminated broadly to investors in the marketplace. Tangible evidence of such dissemination is the best indication that the information is public. For example, information is public after it has become available to the general public through a public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") or some other governmental agency, the Dow Jones "tape," the Wall Street Journal or some other publication of general circulation, and after sufficient time has passed so that the information has been disseminated widely.

Information about securities that are not publicly traded, or about the issuers of such securities, is not ordinarily disseminated broadly to the public. However, for purposes of this Policy, such private information may be considered "public" private information to the extent that the information has been disclosed generally to the issuer's security holders and creditors. For example, information contained in a private placement memorandum to potential investors may be considered "public" private information with respect to the class of persons who received the memorandum, but may still be considered "nonpublic" information with respect to creditors who were not entitled to receive the memorandum. As another example, a controlling stockholder may have access to internal projections that are not disclosed to minority stockholders and such information would be considered "nonpublic" information.

Material nonpublic information relating to the Company is the property of the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such information (including, without limitation, via email or by posting on Internet message boards or blogs, anonymously or otherwise) is strictly forbidden.

Before executing any securities transaction for your personal account or for others, you must consider and determine whether you have access to material nonpublic information. If you think that you might have access to material nonpublic information, you **must** take the following steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Report the information and proposed trade immediately to the designated Compliance Officer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Do not purchase or sell the securities on behalf of yourself or others; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Do not communicate the information inside or outside the Company, other than to the designated Compliance Officer.

These prohibitions remain in effect until the information becomes public or is deemed non-material.

Employees managing the work of consultants and temporary employees who have access to material nonpublic information are responsible for ensuring that consultants and temporary employees are aware of this Policy and the consequences of non-compliance.

**SECTION IV**

**INSIDER**

Unlawful insider trading occurs when a person, who is considered an Insider, with a duty not to take advantage of material nonpublic information violates that duty. Whether a duty exists is a complex legal question. This section of the Policy is intended to provide an overview only, and should not be read as an exhaustive discussion of ways in which persons may become subject to insider trading prohibitions.

Insiders of a company include its officers, directors (or partners), and employees, and may also include a controlling stockholder or other controlling person (an "**Insider**"). A person who has access to information about the company because of some special position of trust or has some other confidential relationship with the company is considered a temporary Insider of that company. Investment advisers, lawyers, auditors, financial institutions, and certain consultants and all of their officers, directors or partners, and employees are all likely to be temporary Insiders of their clients.

Officers, directors or partners, and employees of a controlling stockholder may be temporary Insiders of the controlled company or may otherwise be subject to a duty not to take advantage of inside information.

**SECTION V**

**MISAPPROPRIATION**

Misappropriation usually occurs when a person acquires inside information about company A in violation of a duty owed to company B. For example, an employee of company B may know that company B is negotiating a merger with company A; the employee has material nonpublic information about company A and must not trade in company A's shares. For another example, employees who, because of their association with the Company, receive inside information as to the identity of the companies being considered for investment by the Company's investment vehicles or by other clients, have a duty not to take advantage of that information and must refrain from trading in the securities of those companies.

**SECTION VI**

**TIPPING**

Tipping is passing along inside information and the recipient of a tip (the "**Tippee**") becomes subject to a duty not to trade while in possession of that information. A tip occurs when an Insider or misappropriator (the "**Tipper**") discloses inside information to another person, who knows or should know that the Tipper was breaching a duty by disclosing the information and that the Tipper was providing the information for an improper purpose. Both Tippees and Tippers are subject to liability for insider trading.

Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) is an issuer disclosure rule implemented by the SEC that addresses selective disclosure. The regulation provides that when the Company, or person acting on its behalf, discloses material nonpublic information to certain enumerated persons (in general, securities market professionals and holders of the Company's securities who may well trade on the basis of the information), it must make public disclosure of that information. The timing of the required public disclosure depends on whether the selective disclosure was intentional or unintentional; for an intentional selective disclosure, the Company must make public disclosures simultaneously; for a non-intentional disclosure the Company must make public disclosure promptly. Under the regulation, the required public disclosure may be made by filing or furnishing a Form 8-K, or by another method or combination of methods that is reasonably designed to effect broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public.

It is the Company's policy that all communications with the press be handled through our Co-CEOs, our CFO or investor/public relations firm. Please refer all press, analyst or similar requests for information to the Company's Co-CEOs and do not respond to any inquiries without prior authorization from the Company's Co-CEOs. If either of the Company's Co-CEOs is unavailable, the Company's CFO will fill this role.

------

**SECTION VII**

**TRADING IN THE COMPANY**'**S SECURITIES**

This Policy applies to all Company employees with respect to trading in the securities of the Company's investments company, including shares held directly or indirectly in the Company's 401(k) plan. Employees, particularly "officers" (as defined in Rule 16(a)-1(f) in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), of the Company should be aware of their fiduciary duties to the Company and should be sensitive to the appearance of impropriety with respect to any of their personal transactions in the Company's publicly traded securities. Thus, the following restrictions apply to all transactions in the Company's publicly traded securities occurring in an employee's account and in all other accounts in which the employee benefits directly or indirectly, or over which the employee exercises investment discretion.

● **Major Events** – All employees who have knowledge of any Company events or developments that may have a "material" impact on the Company's stock that have not been publicly announced are prohibited from buying or selling the Company's publicly traded securities before such announcements.

● **Short Selling and Derivatives Trading Prohibition** – All employees are prohibited from engaging in short sales and options trading of the Company's common stock.

**SECTION VIII**

**TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES**

**Mandatory Pre-Clearance** 

All directors and officers of the Company and any other persons designated by the Company's legal counsel as being subject to the Company's pre-clearance requirement (which includes all accounting personnel), together with their family members, may not engage in any transaction involving the Company's securities (including a stock plan transaction such as an option exercise, a gift, a loan or pledge or hedge, a contribution to a trust, or any other transfer) without first obtaining pre-clearance of the transactions from the Company's designated Pre-Clearance Officer. A request for pre-clearance should be submitted to the Pre-Clearance Officer at least five days in advance of the proposed transaction. The Company Pre-Clearance Officer will then determine whether the transactions may proceed and, if so, assist in complying with the reporting requirements. Sales of the Company's securities by a director or officer or certain family members or entities related to any of them may require a filing with the SEC on a Form 3, 4 or 5. While the accurate and timely filing of these forms is the responsibility of the officer or director, the Company's legal counsel will provide such assistance as the director or officer requests.

**Black-Out Period** 

Directors and officers are prohibited from buying or selling the Company's publicly traded securities during "black-out periods." All securities trading during these black-out periods may only be conducted with the approval of the Company's legal counsel or the Chief Financial Officer. In no event may securities trading in the Company's stock be conducted while a director or officer of the Company is in possession of material nonpublic information regarding the Company. The black-out periods are as follows:

● For the annual, first, second and third quarterly financial reports – begins on March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15, as applicable, and ends two trading days after the Company publicly announces the financial results for that quarter.

From time to time, the Company may also require that directors, officers, selected employees and others suspend trading because of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public. In such event, such persons may not engage in any transaction involving the purchase or sale of the Company's securities during such period and may not disclose to others the fact of such suspension of trading.

**Short Swing Profits**

Purchases and sales (or sales and purchases) of Company common stock occurring within any six-month period in which a mathematical profit is realized result in illegal "short-swing profits." The prohibition against short-swing profits is found in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16 was drafted as a rather arbitrary prohibition against profitable "insider trading" in a company's securities within any six-month period regardless of the presence or absence of material nonpublic information that may affect the market price of those securities. Each executive officer, director and 10% or greater stockholder of the Company is subject to the prohibition against short-swing profits under Section 16. Such persons are required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 reports reporting his or her initial ownership of the Company's common stock and any subsequent changes in such ownership. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires officers and directors who must report transactions on Form 4 to do so by the end of the second business day following the transaction date. Profit realized, for the purposes of Section 16, is calculated generally to provide maximum recovery by the Company. The measure of damages is the profit computed from any purchase and sale or any sale and purchase within the short-swing (i.e., six-month) period, without regard to any setoffs for losses, any first-in or first-out rules, or the identity of the shares of common stock. This approach sometimes has been called the "lowest price in, highest price out" rule and can result in a realization of "profits" for Section 16 purposes even when the Insider has suffered a net loss on his or her trades.

------

**Trading According to a Pre-Established Plan or by Delegation**

Trading which is not "on the basis of" material non-public information may not give rise to insider trading liability. The SEC has adopted Rule 10b5-1 under which insider trading liability can be avoided if Insiders follow very specific procedures. In general, such procedures involve trading according to pre-established instructions (a "**Pre-Established Trade**"). Prior to implementing a pre-established plan for trading, all officers and directors must receive the approval for such plan from the Compliance Officer. Pre-Established Trades must:

● **Be documented by a contract, written plan, or formal instruction which provides that the trade take place in the future.** For example, an Insider can contract to sell his or her shares on a specific date, or simply delegate such decisions to an investment manager, 401(k) plan administrator or similar third party. This documentation must be provided to the Compliance Officer;

● **Include in its documentation the specific amount, price and timing of the trade, or the formula for determining the amount, price and timing.** For example, the Insider can buy or sell shares in a specific amount and on a specific date each month, or according to a pre-established percentage (of the Insider's salary, for example) each time that the share price falls or rises to pre-established levels. In the case where trading decisions have been delegated, the specific amount, price and timing need <u>not</u> be provided;

● **Be implemented at a time when the Insider does not possess material non-public information.** As a practical matter, this means that the Insider may set up Pre-Established Trades, or delegate trading discretion, <u>only</u> during non-black-out periods (discussed in Section 8, above); and,

● **Remain beyond the scope of the Insider** ' **s influence after implementation.** In general, the Insider must allow the Pre-Established Trade to be executed without changes to the accompanying instructions, and the Insider cannot later execute a hedge transaction that modifies the effect of the Pre-Established Trade. An Insider wishing to change the amount, price or timing of a Pre-Established Trade, or terminate a Pre-Established Trade, can do so <u>only</u> during non-black-out periods (discussed in Section 8, above). If the Insider has delegated decision-making authority to a third party, the Insider cannot subsequently influence the third party in any way and such third party must not possess material non-public information at the time of any of the trades.

**SECTION IX**

**VIOLATIONS OF POLICY**

As Insiders, every person subject to this Policy has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy against insider trading. Each individual, and not necessarily the Company, is responsible for his or her own actions and will be individually responsible for the consequences of their actions. Therefore, appropriate judgment, diligence and caution should be exercised in connection with any trade in the Company's securities. An Insider may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company's securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the material nonpublic information and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting.

Unlawful trading of securities while in possession of material nonpublic information, or improperly communicating that information to others, is a violation of federal securities laws and may expose violators to stringent penalties. Violators may be sued by investors seeking to recover damages for insider trading violations. In addition, violations by an employee of the Company may expose the Company to liability. The Company views seriously any violation of this Policy, even if the conduct does not, by itself, constitute a violation of the federal securities laws. Examples of potential liability for violating this Policy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.  **<u>Liability for Insider Trading</u>.** Insiders may be subject to penalties of up to $1,000,000 and up to ten (10) years in jail for engaging in transactions in the Company's securities at a time when they possess material nonpublic information regarding the Company, regardless of whether such transactions were profitable. In addition, the SEC has the authority to seek a civil monetary penalty of up to three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided by illegal insider trading. "Profit gained" or "loss avoided" generally means the difference between the purchase or sale price of the Company's stock and its value as measured by the trading price of the stock a reasonable period after public dissemination of the nonpublic information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.  **<u>Liability for Tipping</u>.** Insiders may also be liable for improper transactions by any person to whom they have disclosed material nonpublic information regarding the Company or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in the Company's securities. The SEC has imposed large penalties even when the disclosing person did not profit from the trading. The SEC, the stock exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. use sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to monitor *all trades* and uncover insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.  **<u>Possible Disciplinary Actions</u>.** Individuals subject to the Policy who violate this Policy shall also be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include suspension, forfeiture of perquisites, ineligibility for future participation in the Company's equity incentive plans and/or termination of employment.
