**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

By notice dated March 31, 2026, Highlands REIT, Inc. (the "Company") called an annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 22, 2026. Stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2026 (the "Record Date") were entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting.

Under Maryland law and the Company's bylaws, in order for a quorum to be present and the Company to conduct the business of the meeting, the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting on any matter is required. As of the Record Date, there were 722,202,902 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "shares"), of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote. The Company determined that only 219,744,634 shares were represented in person or by proxy at the meeting; accordingly, a quorum was not present at the meeting.

Because a quorum was not present at the meeting, no business was conducted and the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders was adjourned. We do not expect to reconvene the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. As a result, in accordance with Maryland law and the Company's charter and bylaws, the current directors of the Company, Jeffrey L. Shekell, R. David Turner and Robert J. Lange, will continue as members of the board of directors of the Company until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

As a quorum was not present, no votes were cast at the meeting.

The Company did receive proxies directing that their shares be voted as follows with respect to the Company's directors (although no votes were cast):

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Nominee** | **For** | **Percentage of Proxies Received** | **Withhold** | **Percentage of Proxies Received** | **Broker Non-Votes** |
| Jeffrey L. Shekell | 73429887 | 88% | 9731410 | 12% | 136583337 |
| R. David Turner | 73291182 | 88% | 9870115 | 12% | 136583337 |
| Robert J. Lange | 74231599 | 89% | 8929698 | 11% | 136583337 |

The Company also received proxies directing that their shares be voted as follows with respect to the approval, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as described in its proxy materials (although no votes were cast):
