In addition, non-management directors are awarded shares of restricted common stock annually — the number of shares varies from year-to-year. The restricted stock vests on a cliff vesting basis five years after the grant, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of specified events; during the vesting period, the owner is entitled to vote and receive distributions, if any, on such shares but is not entitled to transfer the shares. In 2024, 2025 and 2026, each non-management director was awarded 3,350, 3,500 and 3,500 shares of restricted stock, respectively. Our non-management directors received the following compensation for their service in 2025:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Pursuant to our bylaws, the number of our directors is determined by our board of directors. Our board currently consists of nine directors. Pursuant to our charter, the board is divided into three classes of directors, with each director elected by the stockholders generally serving for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election and when their successors are duly elected and qualified, with one class up for election at each annual meeting. A director elected by our board of directors to fill a vacancy on the board between meetings of stockholders serves for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and when his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies, and such successor will be elected for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Our board, upon the recommendation of the nominating committee, nominated the individuals identified below under the caption “ — Directors who are Nominees for Election” for election as directors at the annual meeting, to serve until the annual meeting indicated and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. As a result, three individuals identified below are to be elected as Class 2 directors, to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of our stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. Proxies will not be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in the proxy statement. It is contemplated that all the nominees will stand for election. Should any nominee become unavailable for election, all proxies (except proxies marked to the contrary) will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee recommended by the board of directors. In an uncontested election, each nominee will be elected only if such director receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast “for” and “against” as to such nominee. As set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, any nominee who is an incumbent director but who is not elected by the vote required in the Bylaws, and with respect to whom no successor has been elected, is required to promptly tender an offer to resign to the board for its consideration. The nominating committee will recommend to the board whether to accept the offer to resign. No later than the next regularly scheduled board meeting to be held at least ten days after the date of the election, the board will decide whether to accept such offer and promptly and publicly disclose its decision. If the resignation is not accepted, the director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier resignation or removal. If the resignation is accepted, the board will leave such position vacant, reduce the size of the board or elect another individual to serve in place of the resigning director. The nominating committee and the board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. If any director resigns or is unable to serve his or her full term, the board, by majority vote of the remaining directors, may elect a nominee to fill the vacancy. The following tables set forth information concerning the directors (i) who are nominees for election and (ii) whose terms are not expiring, at this year’s annual meeting:

HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
| | WHAT WE DO | | ✔ | Use rigorous performance goals. Only 44% of the RSUs awarded to our executive officers in 2022 vested in 2025, and only 46.2% of the RSUs awarded to our executive officers from 2023 through 2025 would have vested as of December 31, 2025, demonstrating the rigorous conditions established for our equity incentive awards. | | ✔ | Emphasize equity awards as a significant portion of the performance/incentive component of compensation. The grant date fair value of long-term equity awards (i.e., the restricted stock awarded in 2026 for 2025 performance) and equity incentive awards (i.e., the RSUs awarded in 2025; the long-term equity awards and equity incentive awards are referred to collectively as the “Equity Awards”), accounted for 88.9% and 88.9% of the performance/incentive based component of compensation awarded to Messrs. Callan and Ricketts, respectively, in 2025. | | ✔ | Equity awards as a significant component of annual base compensation. In 2025, the grant date fair value of Equity Awards, as a percentage of base annual compensation (i.e., salary, cash bonus and the grant date fair value of the Equity Awards), were 39.6% and 45.5% for Messrs. Callan and Ricketts, respectively. | | ✔ | Mitigate undue risk in compensation programs. The executive compensation program includes features that reduce the possibility of our executive officers, either individually or as a group, making excessively risky business decisions that could maximize short-term results at the expense of longer-term value. | | ✔ | Balance of short-term and long-term incentives. Our incentive programs provide an appropriate balance between shorter and longer-term incentives. | | ✔ | Capped equity award payouts. The number of shares that can be earned pursuant to Equity Awards are capped. | | ✔ | Independent compensation committee. Our compensation committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and it oversees risks with respect to our compensation practices. | | ✔ | Clawback policy. We are entitled to recoup compensation or cause the forfeiture of compensation as more fully described under “Governance of the Company — Clawbacks.” | | ✔ | Stock ownership guidelines. All of our named executive officers and non-management directors own a meaningful amount of our stock as required by these guidelines — see “Governance of the Company — Stock Ownership Guidelines.” |
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
| | WHAT WE DON’T DO | | ✘ | No employment agreements. None of our officers have employment agreements. Employment of all of our full-time executive officers is “at will.” | | ✘ | No severance arrangements. There are no severance or similar arrangements for our executive officers, other than accelerated vesting of shares of restricted stock and RSUs upon the occurrence of specified events (e.g., death, disability, retirement or change of control). | | ✘ | No golden parachute tax gross-ups. There are no excise tax gross ups or similar arrangements for our executive officers. | | ✘ | No dividends on unearned equity incentive awards. No dividends are paid on our RSUs except to the extent that the underlying shares are earned. | | ✘ | No multi-year or guaranteed bonuses or equity grants. We do not pay guaranteed bonuses to anyone and currently have no guaranteed commitments to grant any equity-based awards. | | ✘ | No costly defined benefit pension or supplemental retirement plans. We do not provide costly retirement benefits to our executive officers that reward longevity rather than contributions to our performance. | | ✘ | No hedging policy. We prohibit our directors, officers, employees and others from engaging in hedging or short sales involving our shares — see “Governance of the Company — Policy Prohibiting Hedging of our Securities.” |
Compensation Program
Compensation Program We describe below our compensation objectives, policies and decisions as applied to the compensation provided by us in 2025 to the “named executive officers” identified below under “ — Named Executive Officers”. This discussion focuses on the information contained in the compensation tables appearing herein, but also describes our historic compensation structure to enhance an understanding of our executive compensation program. Smaller Reporting Company We are a “smaller reporting company”, and as such, we are permitted to disclose executive and other compensation and certain other information in accordance with Items 402(l) –(r) of Regulation S-K (the “Smaller Company Reporting Requirements”). Pursuant to these provisions, among other things, we are generally only required to provide compensation information with respect to our chief executive officer (i.e., Mr. Patrick J. Callan, Jr.) and the next two highest paid executive officers (i.e., Mr. Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr. and Matthew J. Gould) and are not required to provide certain tabular data (e.g., the “Grant of Plan Based Awards Table” and the “Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table”). To the extent we disclose more information than is required to be disclosed by Smaller Company Reporting Requirements (and we disclaim any obligation to disclose such additional information now and in the future), we view such additional information as supplemental, and provide it in the possibility that some stockholders or other readers of this document may find it of interest. The supplemental information we provide is not as extensive as, and may not correspond to, the information required to be provided by larger companies or companies that are not eligible to use the smaller company or other similar scaled reporting frameworks. Background We have two categories of officers: (i) officers who devote their full business time to our affairs; and (ii) officers who devote their business time to us on a part-time basis. Our full-time officers and employees are compensated directly and solely by us. Except for Equity Awards and our payment of the chairman’s and vice chairman’s fee, substantially all of our part-time executive officers and employees are compensated, directly or indirectly, by Majestic which, pursuant to the C&SA, provides us with (i) certain executive, administrative, legal, accounting, clerical, property management, property acquisition and consulting (i.e., sale, leasing, mortgage financing and construction supervisory) services and (ii) certain facilities and other resources (collectively, the “Services”). See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” Substantially all of our full-time and part-time executive officers and other employees, including employees of “affiliates” of ours who perform services for us on a part-time basis, receive Equity Awards approved by, or pursuant to authority delegated by, the compensation committee. We refer to certain entities as “affiliates” of ours because such entities share with us certain executive personnel and/or ownership. The use of such term does not constitute an acknowledgement that such entities are affiliates (as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act) of ours or of one another. Named Executive Officers Pursuant to the Smaller Company Reporting Requirements, our named executive officers for 2025 are Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, both of whom devote their full-time to our affairs, and Matthew J. Gould, Chairman of our Board, who devotes time to us on a part-time, as-needed basis. In addition, as noted above under “— Smaller Reporting Company”, we are, on a supplemental basis, providing information regarding Jeffrey A. Gould, Senior Vice President, and Isaac Kalish, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom devotes time to our affairs on a part-time, as needed, basis. Except as otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, for ease of reference, we refer to Messrs. Callan, Ricketts, M. Gould, J. Gould and I. Kalish collectively as “named executive officers”.
Compensation Consultant
Compensation Consultant Our compensation committee is authorized by its charter to retain independent counsel, compensation and benefits consultants, and other outside experts or advisors. In 2025, our compensation committee engaged Ferguson Partners Consulting L.P., which we refer to as “Ferguson”, to analyze the competitiveness of our compensation practices from a magnitude standpoint in a benchmarking study. Ferguson, a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm specializing in the real estate industry, has no relationship with us or any of our affiliates. (Ferguson has served from time-to-time as the independent compensation consultant for BRT Apartments Corp). In its analysis, Ferguson compared our compensation practices to the following REITs, which we refer to as the “Compensation Peer Group”: Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., Chatham Lodging Trust, Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated, CTO Realty Growth, Inc., Franklin Street Properties Corp., Getty Realty Corp., Global Medical REIT Inc., NETSTREIT Corp., Orion Properties Inc., Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc., Postal Realty Trust, Inc., and Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Ferguson selected the Compensation Peer Group based on the peer group used in its 2022 report to the compensation committee, as adjusted in 2025 in consultation with management and the compensation committee. These adjustments generally were made to provide that the Compensation Peer Group would be comprised of REITs whose market capitalization was comparable to our market capitalization. At the time the 2025 study was completed, our market capitalization (i.e., $477 million) was materially consistent with the median market capitalization of the Compensation Peer Group (i.e., $483 million). Ferguson’s report (“Ferguson’s Report”), which was provided to the compensation committee in October 2025, noted that (i) the average pay for the individual members of the executive team evaluated by Ferguson (i.e., the Company’s two full-time named executive officers and two other executive officers), falls “in-line” with the 25th percentile of the Compensation Peer Group and (ii) the aggregate compensation of such members of our executive team in comparison to our market capitalization, was at the median of the aggregate compensation paid the executive teams of the constituents of the Compensation Peer Group in comparison to their market capitalizations. The compensation committee used the Ferguson Report as a “market check” to confirm its belief that on an overall basis, our compensation program and practices were not inappropriate.
Compensation Setting Process
Compensation Setting Process Full-time Executive Officers We determine compensation for our full-time named executive officers on a case-by-case basis and our compensation decisions include subjective determinations. We do not use formal quantitative performance targets to determine compensation, except with respect to RSUs, which are equity-based incentive awards that vest upon satisfaction of market and/or performance-based conditions. Base salaries are determined immediately preceding the year in which such salaries are to be paid, cash bonuses (which have been paid for the past several years pursuant to the Performance-based Cash Bonus Program further described under “ — Components of Executive Compensation — Bonus”), are determined at the end of the year in which services are rendered and paid in the following year, restricted stock is awarded for service in a particular year and granted in the following year, and RSUs are granted annually in June/July of each year as an additional three-year performance incentive. Part-time Executive Officers We believe that using part-time officers pursuant to the C&SA enables us to benefit from access to, and the services of, a group of senior officers with experience and knowledge in real estate matters (including acquisitions, dispositions, operations, management and finance, legal, accounting and tax matters) that an organization our size could not otherwise afford. The compensation, if any, paid to our part-time officers by Majestic and/or its affiliates is determined by one or more of Matthew J. Gould, Jeffrey A. Gould and Fredric H. Gould, in their capacity as officers of such entities, in consultation with certain of our part-time senior executive officers. Our part-time executive officers, including our Chairman and Vice Chairman, also receive compensation from other business entities, several of which are owned or controlled by one or more of Fredric H. Gould, Matthew J. Gould or Jeffrey A. Gould, for services rendered to such entities.

Components of Executive Compensation
Base salary and annual bonus are cash-based, while long-term equity awards and long-term equity incentive awards consist of restricted stock awards and RSUs, respectively. In determining compensation, the compensation committee does not have a specific allocation goal between cash and equity-based compensation though the committee generally desires that base salary and cash bonuses (except to the extent based on the attainment of performance criteria), should decrease over time as a percentage of total compensation and long-term equity and other incentive awards should increase as a percentage of total compensation. Part-time Executive Officers In 2025, except for the $338,532 and $135,413 we paid the chairman and vice chairman of our board, respectively, the only form of direct compensation we provided our part-time executive officers was the granting of long-term equity and equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock and RSUs, respectively. For services rendered to us, our part-time executive officers are compensated by Majestic, which was paid $3,619,000 (excluding $350,000 as reimbursement for our share of direct office expenses) in 2025 pursuant to the C&SA. Seven executive officers are compensated by Majestic for providing services to us on a part-time basis. Base Salary Base salary is the basic, fixed form of compensation for the job an officer performs and provides each officer with a guaranteed annual income. Full-time Executive Officers: Any increase in base salary is determined on a case-by-case basis, is not formula based and is based upon, among other considerations, (i) our performance in the preceding year, (ii) such officer’s current base salary, (iii) amounts paid by other similarly situated REITs for officers performing substantially similar functions, (iv) years of service, (v) job responsibilities, (vi) the individual’s performance, (vii) the cost of retaining talented executives in the New York City region, and (viii) the recommendations of the Chairman and/or Vice Chairman of the board and other senior executive officers. Base salary is generally determined the month before the beginning of the calendar year in which such base salary is to take effect. Part-time Executive Officers: Our part-time officers are compensated by Majestic and/or its affiliates. The annual fee paid to Majestic is approved by the audit and/or compensation committee(s). Other than equity award determinations, our board and its committees are not involved in determining the compensation of these officers. Bonus Full-time Executive Officers: We provide the opportunity for our full-time officers to earn an annual cash bonus. We provide this opportunity both to reward our personnel for past performance and to motivate and retain them. We recognize that annual bonuses are almost universally provided by our competitors. In view of the fact that only two of our named executive officers devote their full-time to our affairs, annual cash bonuses for such named executive officers are recommended on a case-by-case basis by our chairman of the board and/or vice chairman to the compensation committee. Our performance-based cash bonus program, which we refer to as the “Performance-based Bonus Program,” provides that cash bonuses are to be based on funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, tenant occupancy rate, the overall management of our portfolio and discretionary factors. Discretionary factors include total revenues, rental income, net income, dividends paid to stockholders, investor relations activities, and subjective considerations. No specific quantitative targets are established in advance of the applicable year for which a bonus will be paid and the amount of such bonus is based on highly subjective considerations. These bonuses are generally determined at the end of the year for which such bonus is awarded and are generally paid in the beginning of the following year. Part-time Executive Officers: We do not provide any cash bonuses to our chairman, vice chairman or other part-time named executive officers and our board and its committees are not involved in determining the bonuses paid to part-time officers. Long-term Equity and Long-term Equity Incentive Awards We provide the opportunity for our full-time and part-time officers to receive long-term equity (i.e., restricted stock) and long-term equity incentive awards (i.e., RSUs). These compensation programs are designed to recognize responsibilities, reward performance, motivate future performance, align the interests of our officers with those of our stockholders and retain our officers. The compensation committee makes determinations with respect to the grant of equity awards for all our officers and employees except to the extent that it, in accordance with applicable law, delegates to one or more senior executives the authority to grant such awards to certain individuals (other than executive officers); in such case, the committee sets limits (and may impose such other limits as it deems appropriate) on the total number of such awards that may be granted pursuant to such delegated authority. In determining the long-term equity and long-term equity incentive compensation components, the compensation committee considers all factors it deems to be relevant, including the performance of our named executive officers. Existing stock ownership levels are not a factor in award determinations. As of December 31, 2025, all outstanding equity awards that had been granted were granted under our stockholder approved incentive plans. For purposes of this proxy statement, the RSUs granted in 2025, among other things, to incentivize future performance, are deemed to have been granted for 2025 performance. As it has in previous years, in 2025, the compensation committee adopted an equity based long-term pay-for-performance incentive program (the “2025 Performance Plan”) pursuant to which we issued to 18 individuals, including our named executive officers, RSUs exchangeable for up to an aggregate of 91,075 shares of common stock. As described in further detail in the table below and “— Grant of Plan Based Awards During 2025,” these RSUs vest if and to the extent pre-established market (i.e., average of the annual total stockholder return) or performance (i.e., average of the annual return on capital) conditions are met through the June 30, 2028 measurement date. Further, with respect to RSUs that vest, recipients are entitled to an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid in respect of the shares underlying such RSUs had such shares been outstanding during the three year measurement period (the “RSU Dividend Equivalents”). We use RSUs as an element of our equity incentive program with the expectation that in light of the three-year vesting period and the need to satisfy market and/or financial performance conditions, these awards will further align the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders and reward long-term market and financial performance. The conditions that must be satisfied to earn the performance-based compensation are tied to the achievement of rigorous, sustained performance and/or market goals. As further described below, 50% of the award is based on return on capital (“ROC”) and 50% on total stockholder return (“TSR”). The specific goals and the other material terms and conditions of the 2025 Performance Plan are as follows:
Components of Executive Compensation
| Long–Term Equity Incentive Awards Performance Criteria | Weight | Minimum Performance Criteria(1) | Maximum Performance Criteria(1) | | Return on Capital (ROC) | 50% | Average of the annual ROC of at least 6% | Average of the annual ROC of 8.75% or greater | | Total Stockholder Return (TSR) | 50% | Average of the annual TSR of at least 6% | Average of the annual TSR of 11.0% or greater |
Components of Executive Compensation
The RSUs granted during the three years ended December 31, 2025 are, as of such date, at the 46% level of the full payout of the performance objectives at which the RSUs vest (the extent to which the objectives for these awards are deemed to have been satisfied is determined in the manner described in Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report). See “— Grant of Plan Based Awards During 2025” for a more extensive description of the metrics applicable to the 2025 Performance Plan. We do not have a formal policy with respect to whether equity compensation should be paid in the form of stock options, restricted stock or RSUs. We grant restricted stock awards which generally vest after five years of service and RSUs that vest after three years of service if, and to the extent, specified performance and/or market conditions are met. The compensation committee generally believes that restricted stock awards and RSUs are more effective than options in achieving our compensation objectives. Restricted stock has a greater retention value than options because of its five-year cliff vesting requirement and because before vesting, cash dividends are paid on all outstanding restricted stock as an additional element of compensation. Executive officers also realize value upon the vesting of restricted stock, with the value potentially increasing during the five-year vesting period if our stock price increases. RSUs provide an additional incentive component to equity-based awards in that the units only vest if, and to the extent, performance or market conditions are satisfied. Restricted stock and RSUs align the interests of our officers with our stockholders and because fewer shares are normally awarded than in connection with the grant of options, they are potentially less dilutive. Generally, our grants of restricted stock are made in January of each year in recognition of services provided for the prior year and the RSUs are granted in June/July of each year. We do not have a formal policy on timing these grants in connection with the release of material non-public information and in view of, among other things, the three-year and five-year cliff vesting requirements with respect to RSUs and restricted stock awards, respectively, we do not believe such a formal policy is necessary. Executive Benefits and Perquisites Full-time Officers: We provide our full-time officers with a competitive benefits and perquisites program. We recognize that similar benefits and perquisites may be provided at other companies with which we might compete for talent. We review our benefits and perquisites program periodically to ensure it remains fair to our officers and employees. Part-time Officers: The perquisites afforded to these officers are provided by Majestic and its affiliates; our board and its committees are not involved in determining the perquisites paid to such officers. Employment and Severance Agreements; Post-Employment Benefits; Change of Control None of our named executive officers have employment or severance agreements with us. They are “at will” employees who serve at the pleasure of our board of directors. We do not provide for any post-employment benefits to our named executive officers other than their entitlement to the benefits payable pursuant to our defined contribution pension plan and, as described below, the accelerated vesting of our restricted stock awards and RSUs as a result of death, disability, retirement or a change of control. Generally, in the event of death, disability (i.e., the inability to engage in gainful activity due to a life threatening or long lasting mental or physical impairment) or retirement (i.e., the individual retires after having reached the age of 65 and worked for us for at least ten consecutive years), such person’s restricted stock vests fully and a pro-rata portion (based on, among other things, the amount of time between the grant and the triggering event) of their RSUs will vest if and to the extent the applicable performance or market conditions are met as of the completion of the applicable three year performance cycle. In addition, upon a change of control, the (i) shares of restricted stock vest fully and (ii) the RSU’s vest fully if such change occurs 18 months after the beginning of the applicable performance cycle ( the “Cycle Mid-Point”) and, if such change occurs on or prior to the Cycle Mid-Point, a pro-rata portion (based on, among other things, the amount of time between the grant and such triggering event) of such RSUs vests, in each case without regard to satisfaction of market or performance conditions. Subject to the specific terms and conditions of the applicable plan and award agreement, a change of control is generally deemed to occur if (i) any person, with specified exceptions, becomes the “beneficial owner” of securities representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities, (ii) a business combination or sale of all or substantially all of our assets is completed or (iii) there is a change in the composition of a majority of our board of directors, other than changes approved by incumbent directors. See “ — Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”
Compensation of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board
Compensation of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board In 2025, we paid our chairman and vice-chairman $338,532 and $135,413, respectively, and in 2026 we intend to pay them, $352,073 and $135,413, respectively, for serving in such capacities. These officers did not receive any additional direct compensation from us in 2025 other than equity-based awards (i.e., restricted stock and RSUs). Any additional compensation received by them for services rendered to us is paid to them by Majestic. For additional information regarding compensation of these officers, see “Summary Compensation Table” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

Analysis
Base Salary and Bonus In determining 2025 base salaries, the compensation committee determined in late 2024, that increases in base salaries for Messrs. Callan and Ricketts were appropriate in recognition of their performance in 2024 and as a general cost of living increase. In determining cash bonuses for 2025, the compensation committee took into account the factors contemplated to be considered pursuant to our “Performance-based Cash Bonus Program” — it considered funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, the 13 industrial properties acquired in 2025 for approximately $188.8 million, the ten industrial properties anticipated to be acquired in January 2026 for $56.7 million (which transactions were completed), the ten properties sold in 2025 for an aggregate net gain of approximately $18.7 million, and the overall management of our real estate portfolio (e.g., negotiating lease amendments with tenants and ensuring that we maintain a high occupancy rate). In its consideration of the management of the portfolio, the committee, among other things, took into account Messrs. Callan’s and Ricketts efforts and accomplishments with respect to the negotiation and execution of approximately 13 leases (including amendments, renewals and extensions) with respect to over 880,000 square feet and our physical occupancy rate in excess of 98% in December 2025. Long-term Equity and Equity Incentive Awards We believe that our long-term equity and equity incentive compensation programs, using RSUs that vest after three years subject to satisfaction of market or performance-based conditions, and restricted stock awards with five-year cliff vesting, provide an appropriate incentive for our executive officers and are a beneficial retention tool. In determining the awards to be granted to the named executive officers, the compensation committee took into account our performance in 2025, the responsibilities and performance of each named executive officer and the committee’s desire to continue to emphasize equity-based awards as a significant component of total compensation for our full-time named executive officers while minimizing stockholder dilution. We believe the cumulative effect of the restricted stock awards and RSUs is not overly dilutive and has created significant incentives for our officers and employees. We intend to continue to award restricted stock and RSUs as we believe such awards (i) align management’s interests and goals with stockholders’ interests and goals and (ii) are an excellent motivator and employee retention tool. RSUs In June 2025 and July 2024, we granted our named executive officers RSUs exchangeable for up to an aggregate of 45,000 shares of common stock. In evaluating the proposed awards, we placed greater emphasis on the quantity of shares granted rather than their grant date accounting value (on which we place limited, if any, value), because the quantity of shares subject to the awards is a significantly greater incentive than the grant date accounting value of such awards, which value may never be realized. Restricted Stock Awards In 2026, we awarded 76,005 shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers for their performance in 2025, and in 2025, we awarded 70,675 shares of restricted stock to such officers for their performance in 2024. In evaluating these awards, we placed greater emphasis on the quantity of shares awarded rather than their grant date accounting value because the (i) grant date accounting value may never be realized as most of these shares vest in five years and their value at such future time is unknowable and (ii) anticipated dividends payable with respect to these awards are a more important retention feature than the unknown market value of the shares in five years. Perquisites Generally, the perquisites we provide to our full-time named executive officers represent a small percentage of the compensation paid by us to these officers. We believe that such perquisites are appropriate.

| (2) Reflects restricted stock awards. These shares generally vest, on a cliff vesting basis, five years from the grant date, subject to such persons continued relationship with us. The holder is entitled to vote such shares and retain the dividends paid thereon unless such shares are forfeited, in which case the right to vote and receive dividends in the future terminates. |
Grant Of Plan Based Awards During 2025
| (3) The grant date fair value, as determined pursuant to ASC Topic 718, of the restricted stock, RSU — TSR and RSU — ROC awards are $25.52, $11.20 and $17.43, respectively, per share. These amounts do not correspond to the actual values that will be realized by the executives. The aggregate grant date fair value for the RSU-ROC awards give effect to management’s assessment of the probable outcome as to whether, and the extent to which, the RSU-ROCs will vest. |
Grant Of Plan Based Awards During 2025
| (4) Represents shares underlying RSUs that are earned as of June 30, 2028 if, and to the extent, a market condition (i.e., average of annual total stockholder return, as calculated pursuant to the award agreement) is satisfied. If the average of our annual total stockholder return on our common stock from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, equals or exceeds 11.0%, all the shares underlying such RSUs vest; is less than 6.0%, no shares vest; and equals or is more than 6.0% and less than 11.0%, a pro rata portion of the shares underlying such RSUs vest. |
Grant Of Plan Based Awards During 2025
| (5) Represents shares underlying RSUs that are earned as of June 30, 2028 if, and to the extent, a performance condition (i.e., average annual return on capital, as calculated pursuant to the award agreement and as summarized below) is satisfied. If the average of our annual return on capital (as described below) from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028 equals or is more than 8.75%, all the shares underlying such RSUs vests; is less than 6.0%, no shares vest; and equals or is more than 6.0% but is less than 8.75%, a pro rata portion of the shares underlying such RSUs vest. Return on capital means adjusted funds from operations, as described below, divided by average capital, as described below. Adjusted funds from operations is determined by using funds from operations as determined in accordance with the NAREIT definition, adjusted for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, and adding and deducting gains and losses on sales of properties. Average capital is stockholders’ equity, plus depreciation and amortization, adjusted for intangibles, as measured over the applicable periods. |

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control We do not provide for any post-employment benefits to our named executive officers other than their entitlement to the benefits payable pursuant to our defined contribution pension plan and the accelerated vesting of our restricted stock awards and RSUs as a result of death, disability, retirement or a change of control. See “— Components of Executive Compensation — Employment and Severance Agreements; Post Employment Benefits; Change of Control.” The following table sets forth the value (based on our closing stock price of $20.29 per share as of December 31, 2025) of equity awards that would vest upon the occurrence of the specified events as of December 31, 2025:

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
| (1) Because M. Gould is over age 65 and has satisfied the period of service requirements, upon his retirement, a pro rata portion of the RSUs vest (assuming satisfaction of performance and market conditions as of the end of applicable performance cycle) and all of his restricted stock would vest as of December 31, 2025; the market value of his restricted stock awards and RSUs are reflected in the applicable column. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
| (2) Assumes that the maximum level of market and performance conditions is achieved at the end of the applicable performance cycle. See “— Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End.” As of December 31, 2025, only 46% of the RSUs would have vested. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
| (3) See “— Summary Compensation Table” for information regarding the amount accumulated for this individual pursuant to our defined contribution plan. |
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Our incentive plans generally provide, among other things, that if any payment or benefit that a participant in such plan would otherwise receive from us pursuant thereto constitutes a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a result be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”), imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then such payment will be reduced to an amount equal to (1) the largest portion of such payment that would result in no portion of such payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (2) the entire payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable taxes (including the Excise Tax), results in such participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of such payment.
PAY RATIO
PAY RATIO As required by and in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, we provide below a reasonable estimate of the relationship of the annual total compensation of Mr. Patrick J. Callan, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and President, to the median annual total compensation of our employees (other than the CEO). For 2025:
PAY RATIO
| • | the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $2,009,253; |
PAY RATIO
| • | the median annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our CEO) was $365,743; and |
PAY RATIO
| • | our CEO’s annual total compensation was approximately 5.5 times that of the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our CEO). |
PAY RATIO
In calculating this estimate, we included as our employees as of the December 31, 2025 measurement date, all those individuals to whom we are required by the Code to issue a W-2. We identified our median employee by calculating our employees’ total annual compensation in the same manner that the CEO’s total annual compensation is calculated for the Summary Compensation Table. SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies and apply various assumptions in presenting this ratio. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio we report.

Compensation of NEOs In accordance with SEC requirements, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs for each year to determine the “compensation actually paid” to this group. (Although the vesting of certain NEOs restricted stock would accelerate upon such person’s retirement, as such NEO has not retired nor given us notice of their intention to retire, and consistent with the disclosure elsewhere in this proxy statement (except as otherwise indicated), we have not accelerated the vesting of their awards).
