**PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT**

This Proxy Statement Supplement (this "Proxy Statement Supplement") is provided in conjunction with the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Form 14A (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2025.

The Board of Directors of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (the "Company") has determined, that in light of and in response to certain recent developments which are further explained herein, to <u>change the record date and the meeting date</u> for the 2025 Annual Meeting.

**The Record Date for the 2025 Annual Meeting is now June 20, 2025. The meeting date for the 2025 Annual Meeting <u>is now Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at 10 AM Central Time</u>.**

On November 8, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized, and the Company declared, a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The dividend was payable on November 8, 2024, to the stockholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2024.

The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement dated as of November 8, 2024, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and VISTRA USA, LLC, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").

On June 16, 2025, the Board of the Company determined that certain shareholders had become Acquiring Persons pursuant to the Rights Agreement causing a Flip-In Event, and the Board set June 16, 2025 as the date for the exchange of Rights in accordance with the Rights Agreement.

The Rights Agreement provides that if any Person becomes an Acquiring Person (the first occurrence of such event begin referred to as the Flip-In Event), then pursuant to Section 24 of the Rights Agreement, the Board may, at its option, at any time after the Flip-In Event, exchange all or part of the outstanding Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become void pursuant to the Rights Agreement) for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of TWO shares of Common Stock per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment.

By order of the Board, the Rights owned by all shareholders, other than Acquiring Persons whose Rights have become void pursuant to the Rights Agreement, are being exchanged for TWO shares of Common Stock and the Rights are cancelled. The Common Stock referred to herein is being [has been] issued and credited to shareholder accounts maintained by the transfer agent on or about June 20, 2025 and effective as of June 16, 2025.

The Company has issued 118,538,130 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Rights redemption referred to above. As of June 19, 2025, the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is 185,910,182.

**Update regarding certain General Information about the Proxy Statement**

The purpose of this Proxy Statement Supplement is to provide supplemental or revised information regarding the Proxy Statement.

***When is the 2025 Annual Meeting and where will it be held?***

The meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Central Time. The meeting will be completely virtual and conducted via live audio webcast to enable our stockholders to participate from any location around the world that is convenient to them. You will be able to attend the meeting by first registering at https://web.viewproxy.com/silverstarreit/2025 no later than July 14, 2025 at 11:59 P.M. Central Time. After registering, you will receive a meeting invitation and password by e-mail with your unique link to join the meeting.

Stockholders will be able to listen, vote and submit questions during the virtual meeting. Holders of record on our common stock as of June 20, 2025, are entitled to notice, if not previously notified, and to vote at, at the meeting.

***Who can vote?***

Our Executive Committee has fixed the close of business on June 19, 2025 as the new Record Date. On the Record Date, there were 185,910,182 shares of common stock outstanding, which was held by approximately 4,644 holders of record including persons who hold shares for an indeterminate number of beneficial owners. Each share of common stock is entitled to provide a vote on each matter submitted for stockholder vote.

***How do I vote?***

You can vote electronically at the virtual Annual Meeting or submit a proxy prior to the meeting to have your shares represented without attending the virtual meeting. The shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted as you direct. To submit a proxy, you must follow the instructions provided in this proxy statement and in the Notice. You may vote via the Internet, regular mail or by calling the telephone number provided in the Notice, and you will be asked to enter your control number. If you request a printed copy of these materials, you may also vote by filling out and signing the proxy or voting instruction card enclosed therein and returning it by mail in the envelope provided. Please make your request for a copy as instructed in the Notice.

If you submit a signed proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the execution of an alternate strategy and pivot the Company into self-storage, FOR the ratification of the selection of CBIZ CPAs as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023 and 2024, and FOR the election of the director nominees named in this proxy statement.

You can revoke your proxy any time before it is voted by written notice delivered to the Company's Secretary by timely delivery of a later signed proxy (including via the Internet,

------

regular mail, or telephone), or by voting electronically at the virtual meeting. Attendance at the virtual meeting alone is not sufficient to revoke your proxy. You must also vote your shares to revoke your proxy.

***What is a proxy?***

A proxy is a person who votes the shares of stock of another person who does not attend a meeting. The term "proxy" also refers to the proxy card. When you submit your proxy, you are appointing Gerald W. Haddock, David Wheeler and Michael Racusin, each of them, as your proxy, and you are giving each permission to vote your shares of common stock at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

***What is a quorum?***

A quorum is the presence virtually, or by proxy, or directly or indirectly by proxy, of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at the 2025 Annual Meeting on any matter. There must be a quorum present in order for the annual meeting to be a duly held meeting at which business can be conducted. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted to determine whether a quorum is present. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

As of the new Record Date, there were 185,910,182 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly, 92,955,092 common shares must be represented in person (virtually) or by proxy at the 2025 Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum if you vote in person (virtually) at the 2025 Annual Meeting or if you submit a valid proxy by mail or internet (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent). Additionally, "WITHHOLD" votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, as described below, will also be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the chairman of the 2025 Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a later date.

***What if I already voted?***

If you have already noted, the Board of Directors has determined to accept your vote for all of your shares, which is your total shares after giving effect to common shares issued to you as a result of the Flip-In Event and redemption of Rights discussed above.

**If you have already voted, thank you. You do NOT need to vote again**.

You can revoke your proxy at any time by following the instructions described above and in the Proxy Statement.

***If I have not voted, will I receive a new White Proxy Card?***

------

The Board of Directors has determined to accept your vote for all of your shares, which is your total shares after giving effect to common shares issued to you as a result of the Flip-In Event and redemption of Rights discussed above.

**If you have not voted, you may vote on the White Proxy Card you received.**
