The OP Units are redeemable for cash equal to the then fair market value of one share of the Issuer's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), except that the Operating Partnership may, at its election, cause the Issuer to acquire some or all of the OP Units so presented on a one-for-one basis for shares of the Common Stock. On August 8, 2025, the Reporting Person exchanged 240,004 shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis for an aggregate of 240,004 OP Units (the "Exchange"), with such OP Units becoming redeemable on August 8, 2026. Following the Exchange, the Reporting Person directly and indirectly holds 388,044 OP Units that are redeemable for Common Stock within 60 days and no shares of Common Stock. The OP Units that are redeemable within 60 days include: (i) 19,348 OP Units that were issued to Mr. Kavanaugh on January 18, 2024, and which became redeemable for shares of common stock on January 18, 2025, (ii) 208,696 OP Units that were issued to BET Trust on March 28, 2024, and which became redeemable on June 17, 2025 and (iii) 160,000 OP Units that were issued to Mr. Kavanaugh on October 11, 2024, and will become redeemable on October 11, 2025. BET Trust disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares that may be issuable upon exchange of the OP Units.

(2) The percentage of the class was calculated based on 1,505,270 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2025, which includes 232,865 OP Units that are redeemable as of August 11, 2025, and 160,000 OP Units that will become redeemable on October 11, 2025.
