**Silver Star Properties REIT Responds to Claims by Allen Hartman and Highlights Federal Complaint for Injunctive Relief**

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. ("Silver Star" or the "Company") today is issuing the following statement in response to, what the Company believes to be continued dissemination of false and misleading information by former CEO and Board member Allen Hartman in his proxy solicitation filings as cited in his October 7, 2025, DFAN 14A filing.

Silver Star has been transparent about the reasons for the delay in holding its Annual Meeting, as mentioned by the Company's CEO in its Shareholder Meeting discussions held on October 6, 2025, — inclusion of audited financial statements is required under Exchange Act Rule 14a-3(b) and the cause of any postponement. Mr. Hartman is fully aware of this requirement, yet despite this, in our opinion, Mr. Hartman has suggested otherwise, misleading shareholders into believing Mr. Hartman's unilateral actions, as noted below, are sufficient to preclude any delays and replace SEC meeting requirements.

Mr. Hartman, in his October 7, 2025 DFAN 14A filing, pushes a conflicting narrative by suggesting that the shareholder vote is being delayed by the Company to void proxy votes and that his own actions are sufficient to move the process forward. As noted in our "Complaint For Injunctive Relief", legal action taken by the Company is to present to the court known violations of false and misleading information by Mr. Hartman. You can find the full complaint here: <u>Exhibit 99.2 - Complaint For Injunctive Relief</u>.

In his most recent filings, Mr. Hartman listed the following points as facts to support proof of the delay:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• "We have complied with every protocol they requested for vote handling."*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• "We have been submitting blue proxy votes early and continuously to ensure every shareholder vote is properly counted."* 

This presentation is misleading. By framing the issue on his unilateral actions, Mr. Hartman is misdirecting shareholders and, in our view, misleading shareholders. The fact is that audited financial statements, as required under Exchange Act Rule 14a-3(b), must first be completed and filed before a shareholder vote can legally occur. Compliance with vote-handling protocols, the submission of proxy cards, or selective filing of communications cannot substitute for SEC reporting requirements.

------

![image.jpg](image.jpg)

Regarding the lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Maryland , the Company believes much of the information issued to shareholders is riddled with falsehood. Below the Company notes Mr. Hartman's third bullet. Additionally, the Company does not believe Mr. Hartman has filed "ALL" communications to shareholders soliciting votes as required by SEC reporting requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• "Our communications have been filed with the SEC and are available for public review."

As such, to protect the integrity of the election, Silver Star has petitioned the United States District Court in Maryland, and filed a Complaint for Injunctive Relief against Mr. Hartman for his ongoing violations of federal securities law. This petition, supported by sworn affidavits, details over 250 false or misleading statements in Hartman's proxy communications that threaten to taint the shareholder vote.

The federal judge overseeing the matter previously cautioned both parties, stating clearly:

***"Make no mistake, neither party should view the Court's decision on this preliminary matter as somehow greenlighting the violation of federal securities law. To the contrary, the parties are now unquestionably aware of the 'rules of the road' governing shareholder communications and are reminded to strictly adhere to them as their disputes move forward."***

Despite this warning, Mr. Hartman has continued to disregard the "rules of the road" and mislead shareholders with selective communications and omissions. Silver Star will not allow these tactics to compromise a fair and honest election. The Company's aim is to ensure shareholders are making informed votes with truthful and accurate information. For example, as stated by our attorney Walt Taylor in the Complaint, "Hartman is recklessly offering return of capital at $5-$6 / share." Later, he added, "Hartman's claim that he can produce $5-6 per share after the damage he caused Silver Star is outrageous."

Our attorney Walt Taylor in his presentation on October 6, 2025 also stated the litigation in Federal court in Maryland has been filed because "your Board and Executive Committee recognize that both under Maryland law, and just because it's the right thing to do, they owe you a fair shareholder vote that is based on transparency and the truth, not wild speculation, distortions of the truth or outright falsehoods." Mr. Taylor also reminded everyone that "a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots."

The problem is that Hartman has been doing this so long and has accumulated votes based upon his false and misleading statements that the vote is tainted. The same Judge who warned Hartman in a prior ruling, for whom Hartman showed defiance with his continued false and misleading statements will hear this case, and that Judge holds the power to rule as he deems appropriate. We also believe that the entire election has been tainted by Hartman's defiance and the most severe penalty available is justified.

In close, Silver Star remains committed to complying with all SEC rules, completing the required audited financial statements, and ensuring shareholders receive accurate, complete information before the Annual Meeting where shareholders votes will ultimately take place and be counted.

And we thank you for your confidence and continued support.
