**Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.**

As previously disclosed, on October 24, 2025, Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Merger Agreement") with Plymouth Industrial OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), PIR Ventures LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Parent"), PIR Industrial REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("REIT Merger Sub"), and PIR Industrial OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of REIT Merger Sub ("OP Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with Maryland General Corporation Law, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as applicable, (i) that the Company will be merged with and into REIT Merger Sub, with REIT Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "REIT Merger") and (ii) that, immediately prior to the consummation of the REIT Merger, the Operating Partnership will be merged with and into OP Merger Sub, with OP Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of REIT Merger Sub (the "Partnership Merger" and, together with the REIT Merger, the "Mergers").

On January 22, 2026, the Company held a virtual special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to consider certain proposals related to the Mergers. All references in this Current Report on Form 8-K to "present in person" shall mean virtually present at the Special Meeting.

As of the close of business on December 15, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 44,551,164 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A total of 30,283,740 Shares, representing approximately 67.97% of the voting power of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote, were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered:

1. *Merger Proposal*. A proposal to approve the merger of the Company with and into REIT Merger Sub pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Proposal").

2. *Merger Compensation Proposal*. A proposal to approve, by a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company's named executive officers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. (the "Merger Compensation Proposal").

3. *Adjournment Proposal.* A proposal to approve any adjournments of the Special Meeting, to a later date or dates if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal").

Each proposal is described in detail in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2025, as supplemented on January 12, 2026 and January 15, 2026, respectively. The Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal were each approved by the requisite vote of the Company's stockholders. The non-binding Merger Compensation Proposal was not approved. The final voting results for each proposal are presented below.

------

**Proposal 1: The Merger Proposal** 

Approval of the Merger Proposal required the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the Merger Proposal as of the record date for the Special Meeting. Abstentions had the same effect as voting against the Merger Proposal. The Merger Proposal was approved.

| **For** | **Against** | **Abstain** |
| 30,172,147 | 30,626 | 80,967 |

---

**Proposal 2: The Merger Compensation Proposal** 

Approval of the Merger Compensation Proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the Merger Compensation Proposal. Abstentions were not considered votes cast and therefore had no effect on the outcome of the Merger Compensation Proposal. The Merger Compensation Proposal was not approved.

| 15,099,903 | 15,117,960 | 65,877 |

**Proposal 3: The Adjournment Proposal** 

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal required the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions were not considered votes cast and therefore had no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal was approved, but was not necessary in light of the approval of the Merger Proposal.

| **For** | **Against** | **Abstain** |

# Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "outlook," and "project," or other words or phrase of similar import. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry, markets in which the Company operates, management's beliefs, assumptions made by management and the transactions described in this communication. While the Company's management believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements and information are reasonable, such information is necessarily subject to uncertainties and may involve certain risks, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. These risks include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the nature, cost and outcome of any litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the transaction that may be instituted against the parties and others following announcement of the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to consummate the transaction within the anticipated time period, or at all, due to any reason, including the failure to obtain the requisite stockholder approval and adoption, failure to obtain required regulatory approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the transaction; (4) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of the Company or diverts management's attention from its ongoing business; (5) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; (6) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges

Exhibit 99.1

related to the transaction; (7) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (8) the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its tenants, suppliers and others with whom it does business; (9) the effect of the announcement of the transaction on the Company's operating results and business generally; (10) the risk that the Company's stock price may decline significantly if the transaction is not consummated; and (11) the other risks and important factors contained and identified in the Company's filings with the SEC, such as the Company's definitive proxy statement that was filed with the SEC on December 18, 2025, as subsequently supplemented by the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 12, 2026 and January 15, 2026, respectively, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the Company's subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed from time to time, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication.

These risks, as well as other risks associated with the transaction, will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that the transaction will in fact be consummated. We caution investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
