**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On January 26, 2026, Orion Properties Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>") entered into a cooperation agreement (the "<u>Cooperation Agreement</u>") with The Kawa Fund Limited and Kawa Capital Management, Inc. (collectively, "<u>Kawa</u>") in connection with discussions between the parties regarding (i) Kawa's notice of intent to nominate director candidates for election to the board of directors of the Company (the "<u>Board</u>") and (ii) a strategic options review of the Company as announced in the Company's press release described below. The Company and Kawa are each herein referred to as a "party."

Effective upon the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, Kawa withdrew its notice of intent to nominate director candidates for election to the Board at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company is commencing a review of strategic options for the Company (the "Strategic Review Process"), which review may include, without limitation, the consideration of potential acquisition and merger targets, the potential sale of the Company and continuing to operate as an independent publicly traded entity. The Cooperation Agreement does not obligate the Company to pursue or consummate any such transaction or require the Board to take any action that it determines in good faith is inconsistent with its duties under applicable law. The Cooperation Agreement also provides Kawa the opportunity, if Kawa desires, to participate in the Strategic Review Process on substantially the same terms as other participants.

The Cooperation Agreement contains customary standstill and non-disparagement provisions. The Cooperation Agreement will terminate on September 1, 2026. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Kawa must cause all shares of common stock pursuant to which it has the sole or shared power to direct the voting to be present for quorum purposes at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and to refrain from "withholding" or voting "against" the directors nominated by the Board for election at such annual meeting.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On January 26, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Strategic Review Process and the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 (the "<u>Press Release</u>"). All of the information in the Press Release is incorporated by reference herein.

The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is deemed to be "furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information set forth in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

(i) nominate, recommend for nomination or give notice of an intent to nominate or recommend for nomination a person for election at a Stockholder Meeting (as defined below) at which any of the Company's directors are to be elected; (ii) knowingly initiate, encourage or participate in any solicitation of proxies, consents or consent revocations in respect of any election contest or removal contest with respect to any of the Company's directors; (iii) submit, initiate, make or be a proponent of any stockholder proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, any Stockholder Meeting; (iv) knowingly initiate, encourage or participate in any solicitation of proxies, consents or consent revocations in respect of any stockholder proposal for consideration at, or other business brought before, any Stockholder Meeting; (v) knowingly initiate, encourage or participate in any "withhold" or similar campaign with respect to any proposal for consideration at, or any director election or other business brought before, any Stockholder Meeting; or (vi) call or seek to call, or request the call of, or initiate a consent solicitation or consent revocation solicitation with respect to, alone or in concert with others, any Stockholder Meeting, whether or not such a Stockholder Meeting is permitted by the Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement (as amended through March 5, 2025) (the "Charter") or the Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended through March 5, 2025) (the "Bylaws");

Concurrently with and effective upon execution of this Agreement, Kawa shall irrevocably withdraw or cause the irrevocable withdrawal of its notice (the "Notice") of intent to nominate individuals for election to the Board at the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (including, without limitation, any adjournments or postponements thereof and any meeting which may be called in lieu thereof, the "2026 Annual Meeting") (with this Agreement deemed to evidence such withdrawal) and any and all related materials and notices submitted to the Company in connection therewith or related thereto, and otherwise shall not take any further action in connection with nominating individuals for election to the Board or submitting any proposals to be considered at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Kawa covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Associates to, alone or in concert with others, knowingly encourage or pursue, or knowingly assist any other person to, threaten, initiate or pursue any lawsuit, claim or proceeding, including any direct, derivative or class action proceeding, before any court or governmental, administrative or regulatory body (collectively, a "Legal Proceeding") against the Company, its directors or officers or any of its or their other Representatives (solely in the context as representatives of the Company or such directors or officers) (a) with respect to the Notice or otherwise with respect to Kawa's ability to nominate individuals for election to the Board or submit any proposals at the 2026 Annual Meeting or (b) with the intent of circumventing any terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Kawa or its Affiliates or Associates from (i) responding to oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or similar processes in connection with any Legal Proceeding if such Legal Proceeding has not been initiated by, or on behalf of, Kawa or its Affiliates or Associates, provided that Kawa shall, unless prohibited by applicable law, give prompt written notice of any such requirement to the Company, (ii) enforcing the terms of this Agreement or (iii) exercising statutory appraisal rights, if any, in connection with an Extraordinary Transaction. (3) Mutual Non-Disparagement. Prior to the Termination Date, neither Party shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, make, or cause to be made, or in any way encourage any other person to make or cause to be made, any public statement or public announcement, including in any document or report filed with or furnished to the SEC or through the press, media, analysts or other persons, that disparages, defames, slanders, undermines, attempts to discredit, criticizes, calls into disrepute, impugns or is reasonably likely to damage the reputation of, or otherwise constitutes an ad hominem attack on, the other Party or any of its current or former Representatives (in such capacity) (it being understood and agreed that the restrictions in this Section (3) shall not apply to any member of the Board's discussions solely among other members of the Board and/or management of the Company). The limitations set forth in this Section (3) shall not prevent either Party or any of its Affiliates or Associates from responding to (i) any statement made by the other Party (or any of its Affiliates or Associates) of the nature described in this Section (3) if such statement was made in breach of this Agreement or (ii) any objective statement that reflects one Party's view with respect to factual matters concerning specific acts or determinations of the other Party (or their respective current or former Representatives) occurring after the date of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement or announcement shall only be deemed to be made by the Company or Kawa if it was made by either (A) in the case of the Company, (i) an executive officer or a member of the Board, or (ii) an employee or representative of the Company authorized to make such statement or announcement on behalf of the Company, or (B) in the case of Kawa, (i) an executive officer, managing member, partner or director, or (ii) an employee or representative of Kawa authorized to make such statement or announcement on behalf of Kawa. In the event that a Party is in material breach of any provision of this Section (3), then the other Party shall be immediately released from its obligations under this Section (3). (4) Strategic Options Review Process. In connection with the announcement of this Agreement, the Company shall announce a review of strategic options for the Company, which review may include, without limitation, the consideration of potential acquisition and merger targets, the potential sale of the Company and continuing to operate as an independent publicly traded entity. In connection with such review process, the

------

![](onl-kawacooperationagree004.jpg)

Execution Version 4 Company shall act in good faith and consult with its outside financial advisor in evaluating potential strategic options involving Third Parties. The Company will provide Kawa with the opportunity, if Kawa desires, to participate in the process on substantially the same terms as it would for a bona fide Third Party to receive confidential information and submit a proposal for a strategic transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section (4) shall be construed as obligating the Company to pursue or consummate any transaction or otherwise require the Board to take any action that it determines in good faith is inconsistent with its duties under applicable law. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to reasonable inquiries from Kawa to provide periodic updates to confirm the Company's compliance with its obligations set forth in this Section (4); provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be required to (a) disclose any material non-public information to Kawa or otherwise violate any law, rule or regulation (including the rules of any applicable stock exchange) or (b) violate any duty of confidentiality owed to any Third Party and (ii) any information provided to Kawa shall not include material non-public information. All information provided to Kawa in response to such inquiries shall be treated as confidential by Kawa pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement. The announcement required by the first sentence of this Section (4) shall be in the form of the press release agreed to by the Parties prior to entering into this Agreement. In the event that the Company fails to make such announcement within two (2) business days after the date of this Agreement, Kawa shall be immediately released from its obligations in Section (1), Section (3) and Section (5). (5) Voting Commitment. Except as otherwise provided in Section (4), until the Termination Date, Kawa shall (a) cause all Common Stock with respect to which it has the sole or shared power to direct the voting thereof, as of the record date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, in each case that are entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting, to be present for quorum purposes and (b) refrain from "withholding" or voting "against," or otherwise opposing, the directors nominated by the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section (5) shall restrict Kawa from abstaining with respect to any such director nominees. (6) Public Announcements. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC and Kawa Capital Management, Inc. shall file an amendment to its Schedule 13D reporting entry into this Agreement and appending or incorporating by reference this Agreement (the "Public Filings"). The Company and Kawa Capital Management, Inc. shall mutually agree to any summary description of this Agreement used to describe this Agreement in the Public Filings. Until the Termination Date, neither the Company nor Kawa Capital Management, Inc. (nor any of their respective Affiliates or Associates) shall make or cause to be made any public announcement or statement describing this Agreement that is inconsistent with or contrary to the statements made in the Public Filings, except as required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or with the prior written consent of the other Party. (7) Representations and Warranties of All Parties. Each of the Parties represents and warrants to the other Party that: (a) such Party has all requisite company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms; and (c) this Agreement will not result in a violation of any terms or conditions of any agreements to which such person is a Party or by which such Party may otherwise be bound or of any law, rule, license, regulation, judgment, order or decree governing or affecting such Party. Kawa also represents and warrants to the Company that, except as disclosed in its Schedule 13D or any amendment thereto filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof, neither Kawa nor its Affiliates or Associates have entered into any agreements, arrangements or understandings with any Third Party with respect to any potential transaction involving the Company or its subsidiaries or the voting or disposition of any Voting Securities. (8) Remedy. The Parties recognize and agree that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or injury would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that in addition to other remedies the other Party may be entitled to at law or equity or pursuant to this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and without the requirement for posting a bond or other security.

In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law. Furthermore, each of the Parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts, (d) irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury, (e) agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law and (f) irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight mail delivery service, signature requested, to the address of such Party's principal place of business or as otherwise provided by applicable law.

(10) No Waiver. Any waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. (11) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by an agreement in writing executed by the Parties. (12) Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of the Termination Date. Upon such termination, this Agreement shall have no further force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event of a material breach of the Company's obligations under Section (4) or (6), Kawa shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, provided that Kawa shall have given prior written notice of such material breach to the Company and such material breach remains uncured after ten (10) days following the Company's receipt of such notice; and (ii) Sections (8) to (20) shall survive termination of this Agreement, and no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any Party of liability for any breach of this Agreement arising prior to such termination. (13) Notices. All notices, consents, requests, instructions, approvals and other communications provided for herein and all legal process in regard hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed validly given, made or served, if (a) given by email, when such email is sent to the email address set forth below and the appropriate confirmation is received, or (b) if given by any other means, when actually received during normal business hours at the address specified in this subsection: if to the Company: Orion Properties Inc. 2398 East Camelback Road, Suite 1060 Phoenix, Arizona 85016 Email: phughes@onlreit.com Attention: Paul Hughes, General Counsel and Secretary With a copy to (which shall not constitute notice): Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP 200 Park Avenue New York, New York 10166 Email: shaas@hunton.com Attention: Steven M.
