FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We make statements in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K (this "report") that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our estimates, expectations, predictions and forecasts of our future business plans and financial and operating performance and/or results, as well as statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. When we use the words “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” "project," "seek," or similar expressions or their negatives, as well as statements in future tense, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance, and our actual financial and operating results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such differences are described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this report and in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which factors include, without limitation, the following:
Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on our forward-looking statements. We assume no duty or responsibility to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We urge you to review the disclosures concerning risks in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and in other filings we make with the SEC from time to time.
Summary Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. These risks are discussed more fully in Item 1A. Risk Factors herein. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

PART I
Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "Broad Street," "we," "the Company," "our," and "us" refer to Broad Street Realty, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Broad Street Operating Partnership, LP (the or our "Operating Partnership"), of which we are the sole member of the sole general partner.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We are focused on owning and managing essential grocery-anchored and mixed-use assets located in densely populated technology employment hubs and higher education centers within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Colorado markets. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 15 properties, of which two properties are being redeveloped. The properties in our portfolio are dispersed in sub-markets that we believe generally have high population densities, high traffic counts, good visibility and accessibility, which provide our tenants with attractive locations to serve the necessity-based needs of the surrounding communities. We intend to focus on acquiring additional strategically positioned properties in established and developing neighborhoods primarily leased to necessity-based tenants that meet the needs of the surrounding communities in our existing markets, as well as acquiring properties in new markets that meet our investment criteria, including the Southeastern United States. In addition, we provide commercial real estate brokerage services for our own portfolio and third-party office, industrial and retail operators and tenants.
The table below provides certain information regarding our portfolio as of December 31, 2024. For additional information, see “—Our Portfolio.”

Investment Criteria
When evaluating potential property acquisitions or development opportunities, we consider, among other things, the following:
Projected Risk and Returns: We evaluate the projected investment returns in relation to our cost of capital as well as the anticipated risk to achieve these returns, in order to provide our stockholders and OP unit holders with appropriate risk-adjusted rates of return.
Value Creation: We evaluate the projected value creation at each property through repositioning, refurbishing and redevelopment. Our goal is to create long-term value and achieve the projected returns we underwrite at each property.
Tenants and Tenant Mix: We assess the quality of tenants at each location including their sales performance and creditworthiness in order to provide our stockholders and OP unit holders with appropriate risk-adjusted rates of return. We evaluate each property to ensure a complementary mix of tenants that drive overall sales at each location.
Demographics: We assess certain demographic information at each property location, including daytime population, households, household incomes, education levels, population and income trends for the market, as well as local economic drivers.
Competition: We assess the competitive retail environment at each location, including GLA per capita for retail properties, competition for existing and potential tenants, the number of existing competing properties and the potential for additional competing properties through development or the repositioning or redevelopment of existing properties.
13
Access and Visibility: We evaluate each property’s accessibility from main thoroughfares and the potential for new, widened or realigned roadways within the property trade area, which may affect consumer accessibility and shopping patterns. We generally seek to acquire properties that have signalized ingress and egress, which we believe increases the ability of consumers to safely access our properties. We also assess the existing signage and the ability to renovate or add new signage to ensure appropriate sight lines for consumers to view the tenants at each of our property locations.
Owned Property Performance: In markets where we own retail properties, we assess the performance of those properties in order to evaluate the potential performance of to-be-acquired or to-be-developed properties. We seek to acquire or develop properties in our existing markets that are complementary to our existing properties.
Physical Condition: We assess the physical condition of each property in order to determine the useful remaining life, required capital expenditures and the property cost relative to replacement cost. We often seek to acquire properties at below replacement cost, which we believe allows us to reposition, refurbish or redevelop a property and command higher rents relative to the market and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders.
Property Management and Brokerage Business
We manage or co-manage the properties in our portfolio and three other properties. We also lease all of our owned and managed properties but utilize third-party leasing companies to augment our staff on a limited basis. A third party manages the student-housing portion of Midtown Row. Our asset and property management teams directly oversee the properties in our portfolio and our third-party managed properties and seek to increase our operating cash flows through the success of our leasing, property management and asset management functions. Our property management functions include the oversight of all day-to-day operations of our properties as well as the coordination and oversight of tenant improvements and building services. Our internal leasing and management team identifies prospective tenants, assists in the negotiation of leases, provides statements as to the income and expenses applicable to each such property, monitors monthly lease payments, periodically verifies tenant payment of real estate taxes and insurance coverage and periodically inspects each such property and tenants’ sales records, where applicable.
We receive fees for any third-party property management, brokerage or leasing services. Our third-party brokerage business represents primarily commercial tenants for their office and retail real estate needs, either for lease transactions or purchase and sale transactions.
We intend to increase cash flows through cost efficient property operations and leasing strategies designed to capture market rental growth from the renewal of below-market leases at higher rates and/or recruitment of new quality tenants. We carefully monitor property expenses and manage how we incur and bill expenses to our tenants. We aggressively seek to renegotiate and extend any existing leases that are below market at market rates. Although we maintain ongoing dialogue with our tenants, we generally raise the issue of renewal at least 12 months prior to lease renewal often providing concessions for early renewal. We also aggressively pursue new tenants for any vacant space. As necessary, we may use third-party leasing agents in attracting tenants. Our use of third-party brokerage firms is based on their demonstrated track record and knowledge of the sub-markets in which our properties are located.
We define small tenants as those leasing less than 10,000 square feet and we have tailored our management and leasing approach to deal with the unique needs of these smaller tenants. As of December 31, 2024, of the 308 retail leases on our owned properties, 273 are leased to small tenants representing 45.8% of our retail portfolio leased GLA and 62.6% of our total annualized base rent. We believe that our ability to act quickly allows us to capture those tenants that are unable or unwilling to wait a substantial period of time for a lease to be approved. We are able to examine the credit of a potential tenant during the lease negotiation process and efficiently finalize the terms of the lease. Smaller tenants generally pay a premium per square foot to occupy smaller spaces. As of December 31, 2024, this base rent premium averaged 99.1% over what larger tenants in our portfolio pay on a weighted average per square foot basis.
Terms of Leases
We typically lease our retail properties to tenants on either a triple-net or modified gross basis. Our triple net leases provide that the tenant is generally responsible for reimbursing us for the cost of all maintenance and minor repairs, property taxes and insurance relating to its leased space and most other operating expenses. We perform common area maintenance, and the related cost is reimbursed by the tenant. Utilities and other premises-specific costs are typically paid directly by the tenant. Our modified gross leases provide that the tenant pays us a base rent and we are responsible for the payment of all property expenses. In our modified gross leases, we typically negotiate that a proportional share of increases in expenses such as real estate taxes, sales and use taxes, special assessments, utilities, insurance and building repairs, and other building operation and management costs that exceed a base rate, are reimbursed to us by the tenant. The leases for the retail properties in our portfolio have remaining lease terms that range from month-to-month to over 10 years, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.2 years as of December 31, 2024 based on GLA. Anchor tenant leases are typically for 10 to 20 years, with one or more renewal options available to the lessee upon expiration of the initial lease term. By contrast, smaller store leases are typically negotiated for five-year terms. The longer terms of major tenant leases serve to protect us against significant vacancies and to ensure the presence of strong tenants that draw consumers to our centers. The shorter terms of smaller store leases allow us under appropriate circumstances to adjust rental rates periodically and, where possible, upgrade or adjust the overall tenant mix.
14
The leases for the residential portion of Midtown Row typically follow standard forms customarily used between landlords and residents in the geographic area in which the property is located. Midtown Row is leased by the bed on an individual lease liability basis. Individual lease liability limits each resident's liability to his or her own rent without the liability of a roommate's rent. A parent or guardian is generally required to execute each lease as a guarantor unless the resident provides adequate proof of income or financial aid. Less than one percent of leases require security deposits, as a parent or guardian is generally required to execute each lease as a guarantor. We require a nonrefundable reservation fee at lease signing and the tenant pays rent on a monthly basis during the term of the lease. As landlord, we are directly responsible for all real estate taxes, sales and use taxes, special assessments, property-level utilities, insurance and building repairs, and other building operation and management costs. Certain utilities are consumed by the tenant which is included in the monthly installment payment. Our lease terms are generally 11.5 months with 12 equal payments. These leases typically correspond to the university's academic year.
Tenant Underwriting
For retail leases, we use a number of industry credit rating services to determine the creditworthiness of potential tenants and any personal guarantor or corporate guarantor of each potential tenant. In addition, we review the prospective tenants’ business plans and financial models. We have established leasing guidelines to use in evaluating prospective tenants and proposed lease terms and conditions. For existing tenants looking to extend with us, we look at their past payment record.
Competition
We believe that the market for retail properties and financially stable tenants has historically been extremely competitive and has become even more competitive as a result of the current retail environment. We compete with a number of other real estate investors, including domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, publicly traded and privately held real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and other real estate companies, private institutional investment funds, investment banking firms, life insurance companies and pension funds, some of which have greater financial resources than we do.
In operating and managing our properties, we compete for tenants based upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, location, rental rates, security, flexibility, expertise to design space to meet prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which the property is operated, maintained and marketed. As leases at our properties expire, we may encounter significant competition to renew or re-lease space in light of the large number of competing properties within the markets in which we operate. As a result, we may be required to provide rent concessions, incur costs for tenant improvements and other inducements or we may not be able to timely lease vacant space, all of which would adversely impact our results of operations.
We also face competition when pursuing acquisition, development and redevelopment opportunities. Our competitors may be able to pay more for acquisitions, have more funds for development and redevelopment, may have private access to opportunities not available to us and otherwise be in a better position to acquire, develop or redevelop a commercial property. Competition may also have the effect of reducing the number of suitable acquisition, development or redevelopment opportunities available to us, increasing the price required to consummate an acquisition, development or redevelopment opportunity and generally reducing the demand for commercial space in our geographic markets. Similarly, should we decide to dispose of a property, we may compete with third-party sellers of similar types of commercial properties for suitable purchasers, which may result in our receiving lower net proceeds from a sale or in our not being able to dispose of such property at a time of our choosing.
Regulatory Matters
General
The properties in our portfolio are, and any properties we acquire in the future will be, subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that each of the properties in our portfolio has the necessary permits and approvals to operate our business.
Environmental Regulations
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or former owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, under, from or in such property. These costs could be substantial, and liability under these laws may attach whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each liable party may be held entirely responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred (i.e., the liability may be joint and several). In addition, third parties may sue the current or former owner or operator of a property for damages based on personal injury, natural resources or property damage and/or for other costs, including investigation and clean-up costs, resulting from the environmental contamination. The presence of contamination on one of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to redevelop, sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants. We also may be liable for the costs of remediating contamination at off-site disposal or treatment facilities when we arrange for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances at such facilities, without regard to whether we comply with environmental laws in doing so.
15
Some of our properties may be adjacent to or near other properties used for industrial or commercial purposes or that have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Releases from these properties could impact our properties. In addition, certain of our properties are currently used, have been used and may be used in the future by others, including former owners or tenants of our properties, for commercial or industrial activities, e.g., gas stations and dry cleaners, that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances at our properties or to surrounding properties.
We have previously obtained Phase I Environmental Site Assessments or similar environmental audits from an independent environmental consultant for all the properties in our portfolio and the properties under contract to be acquired. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a written report that identifies existing or potential environmental conditions associated with a particular property. These environmental site assessments generally involve a review of records, interviews and visual inspection of the property; however, they have a limited scope (e.g., they do not include soil sampling or ground water analysis) and may not reveal all potential environmental liabilities. Further, material environmental conditions may have arisen after the review was completed or may arise in the future, and future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose additional material environmental liability beyond what was known at the time the site assessment was conducted. While environmental assessments conducted prior to acquiring our properties have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations, certain properties that we have acquired contain, or contained, uses that could have impacted our properties, including dry-cleaning establishments utilizing solvents or gas stations. Where we believed it was warranted, subsurface investigations or samplings of building materials were undertaken with respect to these and other properties. To date, the costs associated with these investigations and any subsequent remedial measures taken to address any identified impacts have not resulted in material costs. Prior to purchasing property in the future, we plan on conducting Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and other environmental investigations, if warranted.
Our properties and the tenants of our properties are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, including laws governing the management of waste, underground and aboveground storage tanks, local fire safety requirements and local land use and zoning regulations. For example, some of our tenants handle regulated substances or waste as part of their operations on our properties. Noncompliance with these environmental, health and safety laws could subject us or our tenants to liability. These environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us. Moreover, changes in laws could increase the potential costs of compliance with environmental, health and/or safety laws, including increasing liability for noncompliance or requiring significant unanticipated expenditures. We are not presently aware of any instances of material non-compliance with environmental, health and safety laws at our properties, and we believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our properties.
As the owner or operator of real property, we may also incur liability based on various building conditions. For example, buildings and other structures on properties that we currently own or operate or those we acquire or operate in the future contain, may contain or may have contained asbestos-containing material (“ACM”). Environmental, health and safety laws require that ACM be properly managed and maintained and may impose fines or penalties on owners, operators or employers for non-compliance with those requirements. These requirements include special precautions, such as removal, abatement or air monitoring, if ACM would be disturbed during maintenance, renovation or demolition of a building, potentially resulting in substantial costs. In addition, we may be subject to liability for personal injury or property damage sustained as a result of exposure to ACM or releases of ACM into the environment. We are not presently aware of any material liabilities related to building conditions, including any instances of material non-compliance with asbestos requirements or any material liabilities related to asbestos.
In addition, our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other indoor air quality issues, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects or property damage or costs for remediation. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants or to increase ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury occurs. We are not presently aware of any material adverse indoor air quality issues at our properties.
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”), all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA might require removal of structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas where such removal is “readily achievable.” We believe that our properties are in substantial compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA. Noncompliance with the ADA, however, could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
16
Insurance
We believe that each of our properties is covered by adequate fire, flood, earthquake, wind (as deemed necessary or as required by our lenders) and property insurance, as well as commercial liability insurance. We also carry terrorism insurance at levels we believe are commercially reasonable. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of coverage and industry practice, and in the opinion of our management, the properties in our portfolio are adequately insured. Furthermore, we believe that our businesses and assets are likewise adequately insured against casualty loss and third-party liabilities. The cost of such insurance is passed through to tenants to the extent possible. We expect to maintain this type of insurance coverage and to obtain similar coverage with respect to any additional properties that we acquire in the future, including the properties in our acquisition portfolio. We will not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from riots, war or acts of God.
Employees
We have a company-wide commitment to a set of core principles—Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Balance, Accountability and Leadership, or TRIBAL. We believe our TRIBAL principles lead to greater employee retention, collaboration and efficiency, which increases our ability to provide high quality service to our tenants and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to our stockholders. We have also identified a set of 30 behavioral fundamentals to which we adhere. We continuously educate our employees on these behavioral fundamentals to ensure we work under an identified set of standards.
As of December 31, 2024, we have 35 employees, all of which are full time employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to our stockholders. You should carefully consider the following risks in evaluating our Company and our business. The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the market price of shares of our common stock and our ability to, among other things, satisfy our debt service obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders, which in turn could cause our stockholders to lose all or a part of their investment. Some statements in this report, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this report.
Risks Related to Our Business and Properties
We have a history of net losses and expect to continue to incur net losses in the near term.
We have a history of net losses, including net loss attributable to common stockholders of $28.9 million and $21.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and we expect to continue to incur net losses in the near term. We may not generate positive cash flow from operations or profitability in any given period. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all and/or which may be dilutive to our stockholders. If we cannot become profitable, our financial condition will deteriorate, and we may be unable to achieve our business objectives, which could materially and adversely affect the trading price and value of our common stock.
17
We primarily rely upon external sources of capital to fund acquisitions, development opportunities and repayment of significant maturities of principal debt, and, if we encounter difficulties in obtaining capital, we may not be able to repay maturing obligations or make future investments necessary to grow our business.
We primarily rely upon external sources of capital, including debt and equity financing, to fund our capital needs, including acquisitions, development opportunities and repayment of debt maturities. We have encountered, and may continue to encounter, difficulties obtaining the necessary capital to finance future acquisitions and service and refinance our existing indebtedness, including approximately $24.0 million of debt that matures in 2025. Our access to capital depends upon a number of factors over which we have little or no control, including general market conditions, the market’s perception of our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions, our current debt levels and the market price of the shares of our common stock, and our access to capital is currently constrained by our existing debt and the lack of an active trading market for our common stock. Economic, market and other disruptions worldwide, including in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets, have exacerbated, and may continue to exacerbate, the issues we have encountered obtaining financing.
We may not have access to capital in order to be able to refinance debt as it comes due, make debt service payments, acquire additional properties or pay dividends to our stockholders. In addition, although our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX Best Market (the “OTCQX”), an over-the-counter stock market, there is a very limited trading market for our common stock, and if a more active trading market is not developed and sustained, we will be limited in our ability to issue equity to fund our capital needs. Further, on January 31, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of the bid price for our common stock being below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 1, 2025, to regain compliance, during which the bid price must be at least $0.10 for 10 consecutive trading days. Furthermore, on February 5, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of our market capitalization staying below $5 million for more than 30 consecutive days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 5, 2025, to regain compliance, during which our market capitalization should be at least $5 million for 10 consecutive trading days. If we fail to regain compliance with the foregoing requirements during the respective cure periods, trading in our common stock will be moved from OTCQX to either the OTCQB market or the OTC Pink Market, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock. Moreover, if we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, satisfy our debt service obligations, acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, or make cash distributions to our stockholders.
All of the properties in our portfolio are located in the greater Mid-Atlantic and Colorado regions. Adverse economic or regulatory developments in these areas could materially and adversely affect our business.
Twelve of the 15 properties currently in our portfolio are located in the Mid-Atlantic region, including Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., and the remaining three properties are located in the Denver, Colorado area. As a result of this geographic concentration, our business is dependent on the condition of the economy in these regions generally and the respective markets for retail real estate in particular, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if we owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. We cannot assure you that these markets will grow or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of retail properties. Our operations may also be adversely affected if competing properties are built in these markets. Moreover, submarkets within any of our target markets may be dependent upon a limited number of industries. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in our markets, or any decrease in demand for retail space resulting from the regulatory environment, business climate or fiscal problems, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
We depend upon tenant leases for most of our revenue, and lease terminations and/or tenant defaults, particularly by one of our significant tenants, could materially and adversely affect the income produced by our properties, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
We depend primarily upon tenant leases for our revenue. Our ability to sustain our rental revenue depends on the financial stability of our tenants, any of whom may experience a change in its business at any time. The ability of our tenants to fulfill their obligations under our leases may depend, in part, upon the overall profitability of their operations, and cash flows generated by certain tenant businesses may not be sufficient for a tenant to meet its obligations to us. In the event of a tenant default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. In 2024, we recorded $0.6 million to Impairment of real estate assets to the consolidated statement of operations due to early lease terminations.
If significant leases are terminated or defaulted upon, we may be unable to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. In addition, significant expenditures, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and insurance and maintenance costs, are generally fixed and do not decrease when revenues at the related property decrease.
18
The occurrence of any of the situations described above, particularly if it involves one of our anchor tenants, could seriously harm our operating performance and materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
We may be unable to collect balances due from tenants that file for bankruptcy protection, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we may not be able to collect all pre-bankruptcy amounts owed by that party. In addition, a tenant that files for bankruptcy protection may terminate its lease with us, in which event we would have a general unsecured claim against such tenant that would likely be worth less than the full amount owed to us for the remainder of the lease term, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face significant competition from the College of William and Mary university-owned student housing.
Midtown Row is the only student housing property we have owned, and we can provide no assurance that its performance will replicate the past performance of our other properties. Midtown Row is in close proximity to the College of William and Mary. On-campus student housing traditionally has certain inherent advantages over off-campus student housing because of, among other factors, closer physical proximity to the university campus and integration of on-campus facilities into the academic community. Colleges and universities can generally avoid real estate taxes, while we are subject to full real estate tax rates. Also, colleges and universities may be able to borrow funds at lower interest rates than those available to us. As a result, the College of William and Mary may be able to offer more convenient and/or less expensive student housing than we can through Midtown Row, which may adversely affect our occupancy and rental rates.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
As of December 31, 2024, we had an aggregate of $348.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, including $99.6 million of the Preferred Equity Investment (as defined below) that is classified as temporary equity on our balance sheet. We may also need to incur additional indebtedness in the future to repay or refinance other outstanding debt, to make acquisitions or for other purposes. If we incur additional debt, the related risks that we now face could intensify. Our substantial indebtedness could have material adverse consequences to us, including:
If any one or more of these events were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
Secured debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
Most of the properties in our portfolio are subject to secured indebtedness. Mortgage and other secured debt obligations increase our risk of property losses because defaults on indebtedness secured by properties may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and ultimately our loss of the property securing any loans for which we are in default. For example, at December 31, 2024, we had three mortgage loans on three properties with a combined principal balance outstanding of approximately $24.0 million that mature within the next twelve months. One of the mortgage loans with a balance of $9.2 million as of December 31, 2024 was extended on January 31, 2025 to April 30, 2025. On March 27, 2025, the maturity date of one of the mortgage loans with a balance of $12.1 million as of December 31, 2024 was extended to June 1, 2025. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to refinance the loans on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to refinance or extend the loans, the lenders will have the right to place their loans in default and ultimately foreclose on the properties. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties could adversely affect the overall
19
value of our portfolio of properties. For tax purposes, a foreclosure on any of our properties that is subject to a nonrecourse mortgage loan would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, it could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
The Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement contains provisions that could significantly impede our operations and our ability to efficiently manage our business and that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the trading price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our common stockholders in the future.
CF Flyer PE Investor LLC, an entity affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), or its successor (the “Fortress Member”) has substantial rights under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement. Under this agreement, the following require the approval of the Fortress Member:
In addition, we are required to maintain separate bank accounts for tenant improvement costs and leasing costs as well as the net proceeds from the Spotswood and Dekalb dispositions. Prior written consent of the Fortress Member is required for the disbursement and use of cash held in such accounts.
Under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, “Trigger Events” include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal acts or intentional misappropriation of funds with respect to a property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) a Bankruptcy Event (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement) with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for an involuntary bankruptcy that is dismissed within 90 days of commencement; (iii) a material breach of certain provisions of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (iv) monetary defaults or material non-monetary defaults under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan (as defined below) or the mortgage loans secured by properties owned directly or indirectly by the Eagles Sub-OP; (v) failure to meet the minimum Total Yield requirements under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (vi) failure to pay the Current Preferred Return (as defined below) (subject to a limited cure period) or failure to make distributions as required by the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (vii) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement); (viii) Mr. Jacoby (A) ceasing to be employed as the chief executive officer of the Company, (B) not being actively involved in the management of the Company or (C) failing to hold an aggregate of at least 3,802,594 shares of common stock and OP units, in each case subject to the Company’s right to appoint a replacement chief executive officer reasonably acceptable to the Fortress Member within 90 days; and (ix) material breaches or material defaults of the Company, the Operating Partnership or their subsidiaries under certain other agreements related to the Preferred Equity Investment.
On May 21, 2024, the Company agreed with the Fortress Member that, after revision of the total yield calculation as of March 31, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum total yield requirement under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would have been a Trigger Event. Effective May 21, 2024, the Fortress Member and the Operating Partnership entered into a temporary waiver
20
agreement to waive the total yield failure and the existence of the Trigger Event until such time as the Fortress Member elects to revoke such waiver, which the Fortress Member may do at any time in its sole discretion.
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Fortress Member has the right to cause the Eagles Sub-OP to redeem the Fortress Preferred Interest (as defined below) by payment to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount (as defined below) upon not less than 90 days prior written notice to the Eagles Sub-OP, unless the Trigger Event is in connection with a Bankruptcy Event, in which case the redemption must occur as of the date of such Trigger Event.
Under certain circumstances, including in the event of a Trigger Event or if a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement) has not occurred by November 22, 2027, the Fortress Member may remove the Operating Partnership as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP. If the Fortress Member removes the Operating Partnership and becomes the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement only requires the Fortress Member to act in a manner consistent with other institutional preferred equity investors that have exercised remedies to remove managing members. Moreover, in such a circumstance, the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement specifically reserves the Fortress Member’s right to (i) sell any property to a third party buyer unaffiliated with the Fortress Member, (ii) take any action in connection with curing or reacting to a default under any mortgage loan and (iii) otherwise exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to the terms of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement. Accordingly, in the event the Fortress Member becomes the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP, it may take actions that are not in the best interest of us and our stockholders.
The Fortress Member’s rights may significantly impede our ability to operate our business and manage our properties. Furthermore, these rights may prevent us from engaging in transactions, including change of control or financing transactions, that otherwise would be attractive to us. The foregoing could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the market value of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our common stockholders in the future. In addition, failure to comply with any of these covenants, or the Fortress Member’s revocation of its waiver of the Total Yield failure as of March 31, 2024, could cause a Trigger Event, which would result in the Fortress Member having certain rights, including the right to remove the Operating Partnership as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP, and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on us.
Covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the trading price of our common stock.
In addition to the restrictions provided in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement described above, other documents evidencing indebtedness contain certain financial covenants and affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among other things, with respect to insurance coverage and our ability to incur additional indebtedness. The Hollinswood mortgage, Vista Shops mortgage, Brookhill mortgage, Crestview mortgage, Highlandtown mortgage, Cromwell mortgage, Lamar Station Plaza West mortgage, Midtown Row mortgage, Coral Hills mortgage, West Broad mortgage and Greenwood Village mortgage require us to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the respective loan agreements) of at least 1.40x, 1.25x, 1.30x, 1.25x, 1.25x, 1.20x, 1.30x, 1.15x, 1.20x, 1.25x and 1.40x, respectively. These limitations may restrict our ability to engage in some business activities, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the market value of our common stock. In addition, failure to comply with any of these covenants, including the financial coverage ratios, could cause an event of default under or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
There are inherent risks associated with real estate investments and with the real estate industry, each of which could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and the value of our properties.
By owning our common stock, you are subject to the risks associated with the ownership of real properties, including risks related to:
Any of these factors could adversely impact our financial performance and the value of our properties.
21
Our dependence on smaller businesses to rent our space could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations.
Many of our tenants are smaller businesses that generally do not have the financial strength or resources of larger corporate tenants. Smaller independent businesses generally experience a higher rate of failure than larger businesses. As a result of our dependence on these smaller businesses, we could experience a higher rate of tenant defaults, turnover and bankruptcies, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
Our growth will depend in part upon our ability to acquire additional retail properties for our portfolio, and we may be unsuccessful in identifying and consummating attractive acquisitions or taking advantage of other investment opportunities, which would impede our growth and materially and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Our ability to expand through acquisitions is integral to our long-term business strategy and requires that we identify and consummate suitable acquisition or investment opportunities in retail properties for our portfolio that meet our investment criteria and are compatible with our growth strategy. Our ability to acquire retail properties on favorable terms, or at all, may be adversely affected by the following significant factors:
Our failure to identify and consummate attractive acquisitions or take advantage of other investment opportunities without substantial expense, delay or other operational or financial problems, would impede our growth and materially and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
The terms of joint venture agreements or other joint ownership arrangements into which we may enter could impair our operating flexibility and subject us to risks not present in investments that do not involve co-ownership.
Until we have greater access to capital, we intend to make acquisitions through joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other syndicated or co-ownership arrangements entered into with affiliates or third parties. For example, as described above, the Fortress Member has substantial rights under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement. We may also enter into joint ventures to redevelop or develop properties. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present when acquiring real estate directly, including the following:
22
If any of the foregoing were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to succeed in new markets may limit our growth.
In the future, if appropriate opportunities arise and subject to capital availability, we may acquire properties that are outside of our existing markets. Entering into new markets exposes us to a variety of risks, including difficulty evaluating local market conditions and local economies, developing new business relationships in the area, competing with other companies that already have an established presence in the area, hiring and retaining key personnel, evaluating quality tenants in the area and a lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting procedures. Furthermore, expansion into new markets may divert management time and other resources away from our existing markets. As a result, we may not be successful in expanding into new markets, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
Many of our operating costs and expenses are fixed and will not decline if our revenues decline.
Our results of operations depend, in large part, on our level of revenues, operating costs and expenses. The expense of owning and operating a property is not necessarily reduced when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in revenue from the property. As a result, if revenues or cash flows decline, we may not be able to reduce our expenses to keep pace with the corresponding reductions in revenues. Many of the costs associated with real estate investments, such as real estate taxes, insurance, loan payments and maintenance, generally will not be reduced if a property is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues or cash flows to decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
Most of our costs, such as operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and real estate acquisition costs, are subject to inflation.
In 2024, the consumer price index rose by approximately 3% over the previous year. A significant portion of our operating expenses are sensitive to inflation. Operating expenses include those for property-related contracted services such as janitorial and engineering services, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and insurance. Property taxes are also impacted by inflationary changes as taxes are regularly reassessed based on changes in the fair value of our properties.
Our operating expenses, with the exception of the residential portion of Midtown Row, are typically recoverable through our lease arrangements, which allow us to pass through substantially all expenses associated with property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) to our tenants. Our remaining leases are generally gross leases, which provide for recoveries of operating expenses above the operating expenses from the initial year within each lease. During inflationary periods, we expect to recover increases in operating expenses from our triple net leases and our gross leases. In addition, our leases for the residential portion of Midtown Row generally have lease terms of 11.5 months, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases. As a result, we do not believe that inflation would result in a significant adverse effect on our net operating income and operating cash flows at the property level. However, there is no guarantee that our tenants would be able to absorb these expense increases and be able to continue to pay us their portion of operating expenses, capital expenditures, and rent.
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, technology services, and professional service fees. Our employee compensation is reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect any merit increases; however, to maintain our ability to successfully compete for the best talent, rising inflation rates may require us to provide compensation increases beyond historical annual merit increases, which may unexpectedly or significantly increase our compensation costs. Similarly, technology services and professional service fees are also subject to the impact of inflation and expected to increase proportionately with increasing market prices for such services. Consequently, inflation is expected to increase our general and administrative expenses over time and may adversely impact our results of operations and operating cash flows.
23
Adverse conditions in the general retail environment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
We are subject to factors that affect the retail sector generally, as well as the market for retail space. The retail environment and the market for retail space have been, and in the future could be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies such as the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing competition from discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers and other online businesses. Increases in consumer spending via the internet may significantly affect our retail tenants’ ability to generate sales in their stores. New and enhanced technologies, including new digital technologies and new web services technologies, may increase competition for certain of our retail tenants. Our tenants may experience difficulties attracting customers to their stores even after the social-distancing measures are lifted.
Any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants and the willingness of retailers to lease space in our retail properties. In turn, these conditions could negatively affect market rents for retail space and could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past led and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Disruptions and uncertainty in the banking sector may negatively impact our ability to refinance existing indebtedness and access additional financing for acquisitions, development of our properties and other purposes at reasonable terms or at all. The failure of banks and financial institutions and measures taken, or not taken, by governments, businesses and other organizations in response to these events could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks, and our account balances may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance limit. If the financial institutions with which we do business enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, there is no guarantee that the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC will intercede to provide us and other depositors with access to balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit, that we would be able to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, that we would be able to maintain any required letters of credit or other credit support arrangements, or that we would be able to adequately fund our business for a prolonged period of time or at all, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if any of our tenants are unable to access funds on deposit with such a financial institution or pursuant to lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such tenants’ ability to meet their obligations to us could be adversely affected, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
An epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and measures intended to prevent the spread of such an event could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations.
We face risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis which have in the past impacted, and in the future could impact, the markets in which we operate and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, and ability to service our debt obligations. The impact of an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and measures intended to prevent the spread of such an event could materially and adversely affect our business in a number of ways. Our rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at our properties and the ability of our tenants to meet their rent obligations to us, which have been in certain cases, and could in the future be, adversely affected by, among other things, job losses, furloughs, store closures, lower incomes, uncertainty about the future as a result of an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and related governmental actions including eviction moratoriums, shelter-in-place orders, prohibitions on charging certain fees, and limitations on collection laws and rent increases, which have affected, and, if such restrictions are not lifted, or are reinstated, or new restrictions imposed, may continue to affect our ability to collect rent or enforce legal or contractual remedies for the failure to pay rent, which have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our ability to remove tenants who are not paying rent and our ability to rent their space to new tenants. In addition, the federal government has in the past allocated, and may in the future allocate, funds to rent relief programs to be run by state and local authorities. In certain locations, the funds available may not be sufficient to pay all past due rent and reallocation of such funds may result in markets in which we operate not having access to the funds anticipated. Further, certain of our tenants with past due rent have not qualified, and may not in the future qualify, to participate in such programs. In addition, some of such programs have required, and programs in the future may require, the forgiveness of a portion of the past due rent or agreeing to other limitations that may adversely affect our business in order to participate or may only provide funds to pay a portion of the past due rent. It is uncertain how the rent relief programs will impact our business. An epidemic, pandemic
24
or other health crisis or related impacts thereof also could adversely affect the businesses and financial conditions of our counterparties, including our joint venture partners and general contractors and their subcontractors, and their ability to satisfy their obligations to us and to complete transactions or projects with us as intended.
Cybersecurity incidents or other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business, our relationships, and our reputation.
We use computers and computer networks in most aspects of our business operations. We also use mobile devices to communicate with our employees, suppliers, business partners, and tenants. These devices are used to transmit sensitive and confidential information, including financial and strategic information about us, employees, business partners, tenants and other individuals and organizations. Additionally, we utilize third-party service providers that host personally identifiable information and other confidential information of our employees, business partners, tenants and others. We also maintain confidential financial and business information regarding us and persons and entities with which we do business on our information technology systems. Cybersecurity incidents, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, malware, attacks by hackers, ransomware attacks, phishing attacks, supply chain attacks, breaches due to employee error or misconduct and other similar breaches can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized access to information maintained in our information technology systems and in the information technology systems of our third-party service providers. We expect cybersecurity incidents to occur in the future and we are constantly managing efforts to infiltrate and compromise our information technology systems and data. The theft, destruction, loss or release of sensitive and confidential information or operational downtime of the systems used to store and transmit our or our tenants’ confidential business information could result in disruptions to our business, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, financial liability, difficulty attracting and retaining tenants, loss of business partners and loss of business opportunities, any of which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations. Although we carry cybersecurity insurance that is designed to protect us against certain losses related to cybersecurity incidents, that insurance coverage may not be sufficient or available to cover all expenses or other losses or all types of claims that may arise in connection with cybersecurity incidents. Furthermore, in the future, such insurance may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
We face considerable competition in leasing our properties and may be unable to renew existing leases or re-lease retail space on terms similar to the existing leases, or we may expend significant capital in our efforts to re-lease retail space, which may adversely affect our operating results.
As of December 31, 2024, leases representing approximately 8.9% and 10.9% of our total annualized base rent are scheduled to expire by the end of 2025 and 2026, respectively, assuming no exercise of renewal options or early termination rights. In addition, approximately 9.1% of the square footage at our properties was available for rent as of December 31, 2024. We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment and leasing activities, including national, regional and local owners, operators, acquirers and developers. If our competitors offer retail space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates that we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants. Even if our tenants renew their leases or we are able to re-lease the space, the terms and other costs of renewal or re-leasing, including the cost of required renovations, increased tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, declining rental rates and other potential concessions, may be less favorable than the terms of our current leases and could require significant capital expenditures. If we are unable to renew leases or re-lease space in a reasonable time, or if rental rates decline or tenant improvement costs increase, leasing commissions or other costs increase, our business, financial condition and results of operations, ability to make distributions and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our operating results are subject to risks inherent in the student housing industry, including a concentrated lease-up period.
Leases for the residential portion of Midtown Row are typically for terms of 11.5 months with 12 equal payments. The residential portion of Midtown Row must be entirely re-leased each year during a limited leasing season. We are therefore highly dependent on the effectiveness of our marketing and leasing efforts and personnel during leasing season, exposing us to significant leasing risk. If we are unable to lease a substantial portion of the residential portion of Midtown Row, or if the rental rates upon such leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash flow from operations and our ability to make distributions and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations could be materially and adversely affected.
Certain of the leases at our properties contain, and leases for properties that we may acquire in the future may contain, “co-tenancy” or “go-dark” provisions, which, if triggered, may allow tenants to pay reduced rent, cease operations or terminate their leases, any of which could materially and adversely affect our performance or the value of the affected retail property.
Certain of the leases at our properties contain, and leases for properties that we may acquire in the future may contain, “co-tenancy” provisions that condition a tenant’s obligation to remain open, the amount of rent payable by the tenant or the tenant’s obligation to continue occupancy on certain conditions, including: (i) the presence of a certain anchor tenant or tenants, (ii) the continued operation of an anchor tenant’s store and (iii) minimum occupancy levels at the retail property. If a co-tenancy provision is triggered by a failure of any of these or other applicable conditions, a tenant could have the right to cease operations, to terminate its lease early or to reduce its rent. In periods of prolonged economic decline, there is a higher-than-normal risk that co-tenancy provisions will be triggered as there is a higher risk of tenants closing stores or terminating leases during these periods. In addition to these co-tenancy
25
provisions, certain of the leases at our retail properties contain “go-dark” provisions that allow the tenant to cease operations while continuing to pay rent. This could result in decreased customer traffic at the affected retail property, thereby decreasing sales for our other tenants at that property, which may result in our other tenants being unable to pay their minimum rents or expense recovery charges. These provisions also may result in lower rental revenue generated under the applicable leases. To the extent co-tenancy or go-dark provisions in our retail leases result in lower revenue, tenants’ rights to terminate their leases early, or a reduction of their rent, our revenues and the value of the affected retail property could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks associated with redevelopment and development activities could materially adversely affect us.
We may determine in the future to redevelop or develop certain properties directly rather than acquiring existing operating properties that meet our investment criteria. Large-scale, ground-up redevelopment or development of retail or mixed-use properties presents additional risks for us, including risks that:
In addition, capital improvements on our existing properties may divert cash that may otherwise be available for property acquisitions, dividends to our stockholders or for other purposes. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of redevelopment and development activities once undertaken, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The illiquid nature of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to changing economic, financial and investment conditions, which could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more of our properties in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any of our properties for the price or on the terms set by us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of our properties. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold, and we cannot assure you that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. Our inability to dispose of assets at opportune times or on favorable terms could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
Increases in interest rates could increase our interest expense and may adversely affect our cash flows, our ability to service our indebtedness and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $51.7 million in floating-rate indebtedness, and we may enter into debt instruments with variable interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates on variable rate debt will increase our interest expense, unless we make arrangements to hedge the risk of rising interest rates. However, as a result of rising interest rates, the cost of hedging transactions has increased significantly and may continue to increase. These increased costs could reduce our profitability, impair our ability to meet our debt obligations, increase the cost of financing or impair our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. An increase in interest rates also could limit our ability to refinance existing debt upon maturity or cause us to pay higher rates upon refinancing.
26
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
We have entered into hedging transactions to protect us from the effects of interest rate fluctuations on floating rate debt and may enter into other hedging transactions in the future. Our hedging transactions include interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements involve risks, such as the risk that (i) such arrangements would not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes, (ii) a court could rule that such agreements are not legally enforceable, (iii) hedging could actually increase our costs and reduce the overall returns on our investments, as interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates, (iv) counterparties to such arrangements would not perform, (v) we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, or (vi) the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Our failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, cash available for distribution and ability to service our debt obligations.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements could be impaired, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
We are required, pursuant to Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish with our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, such internal controls are designed to prevent fraud. We have in the past identified, and may in the future identify, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, including material weaknesses, could create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Additionally, any failure to implement required controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, any of which could cause the value of our common stock to decline.
We face possible liability for environmental cleanup costs and damages for contamination related to properties we acquire, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Because we own real estate, we are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations. Under these laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including the release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real estate for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. In addition, new or more stringent laws or stricter interpretations of existing laws could change the cost of compliance or liabilities and restrictions arising out of such laws. The cost of defending against these claims, complying with environmental regulatory requirements, conducting remediation of any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could be substantial, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances on a property or the failure to meet environmental regulatory requirements may materially impair our ability to use, lease or sell a property, or to use the property as collateral for borrowing.
Uninsured losses relating to real estate and lender requirements to obtain insurance may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
There are types of losses relating to real estate, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters, pollution or environmental matters, for which we do not intend to obtain insurance unless we are required to do so by mortgage lenders. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, other than any reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for uninsured
27
losses, we could suffer reduced earnings. In cases where we are required by mortgage lenders to obtain casualty loss insurance for catastrophic events or terrorism, such insurance may not be available, or may not be available at a reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. Additionally, if we obtain such insurance, the costs associated with owning a property would increase. If any one of the events described above were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Compliance with the ADA and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make unexpected expenditures that adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
Under the ADA all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines, an award of damages to private litigants and/or an order to correct any non-complying feature which could result in substantial capital expenditures. A number of additional U.S. federal, state and local laws may also require modifications to our properties, or restrict certain further renovations of such properties, with respect to access thereto by disabled persons. We have not conducted a detailed audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine our compliance, and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA or other legislation. If one or more of our properties is not in compliance with the ADA or other similar legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring such property into compliance, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and become applicable to our properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.
We are subject to risks from natural disasters, such as hurricanes and flooding, and the risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.
Natural disasters and severe weather such as flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes may result in significant damage to our properties. Twelve of the 15 properties currently in our portfolio are located in the Mid-Atlantic region, parts of which historically have experienced heightened risk for natural disasters like hurricanes and flooding. The extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area. When we have geographic concentration of exposures, a single catastrophe (such as an earthquake) or destructive weather event (such as a tornado or hurricane) affecting a region may have a significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our financial results may be adversely affected by our exposure to losses arising from natural disasters or severe weather.
All of the properties in our portfolio are located in the greater Mid-Atlantic and Colorado regions. Accordingly, we are also exposed to risks associated with inclement winter weather, including increased costs for the removal of snow and ice. Inclement weather also could increase the need for maintenance and repair of our properties.
Lastly, to the extent that climate change does occur, its physical effects could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our markets could experience increases in storm intensity. These conditions could result in physical damage to our properties or declining demand for space in our buildings or our inability to operate the buildings at all in the areas affected by these conditions. Climate change also may have indirect effects on our business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms we find acceptable, increasing the cost of energy, and increasing the cost of snow removal or related costs at our properties. Proposed legislation and regulatory actions to address climate change could increase utility and other costs of operating our properties, which, if not offset by rising rental income, would reduce our net income. Should the impact of climate change be material in nature or occur for lengthy periods of time, our properties, operations or business would be adversely affected.
We may not be able to rebuild our properties to their existing specifications if we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of such properties.
In the event that we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to rebuild such property to its existing specifications. Further, reconstruction or improvement of such a property would likely require significant upgrades to meet zoning and building code requirements. Environmental and legal restrictions could also restrict the rebuilding of our properties.
We depend on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed and each of whom would be difficult to replace.
Our success depends, to a significant extent, on the services of certain key personnel, particularly Michael Jacoby, our chairman and chief executive officer. Among the reasons that Mr. Jacoby is important to our continued success is that he has significant experience in acquiring, financing, owning, leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping commercial real estate properties. Our ability to acquire, manage, develop and redevelop and successfully integrate and operate retail properties, therefore, depends upon the significant relationships that Mr. Jacoby and other members of our senior management team have developed over many years. Although we have entered into employment agreements with Mr. Jacoby and Alexander Topchy, our chief financial officer, we cannot provide any
28
assurance that they will remain employed by us. Our ability to retain our senior management team, or to attract and integrate suitable replacements should any member of the senior management team leave, is dependent upon the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team, particularly Mr. Jacoby, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants and industry personnel, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement prohibits us from engaging in certain change of control transactions. If Mr. Jacoby ceases to be our chief executive officer or ceases to be actively involved in the management of the Company and the Company does not approve a replacement of Mr. Jacoby reasonably acceptable to the Fortress Member within 90 days of him ceasing to be our chief executive officer or actively involved in the management of the Company, it would constitute a Trigger Event under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would result in the Fortress Member having certain rights, including the right to remove the Operating Partnership as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our common stock has a very limited trading market, which limits your ability to resell shares of our common stock.
Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX, there is a very limited trading market for our common stock, which limits your ability to resell shares of our common stock. The OTCQX quotation platform is an inter-dealer market that is less regulated than the major securities markets. There can be no assurances that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to sell their shares or the prices at which holders may be able to sell their shares. Further, on January 31, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of the bid price for our common stock being below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 1, 2025, to regain compliance, during which the bid price must be at least $0.10 for 10 consecutive trading days. Furthermore, on February 5, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of our market capitalization staying below $5 million for more than 30 consecutive days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 5, 2025, to regain compliance, during which our market capitalization must be at least $5 million for 10 consecutive trading days. If we fail to regain compliance with the foregoing requirements during the respective cure periods, trading in our common stock will be moved from OTCQX to either the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink Market, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock.
In addition, all of the shares of our common stock that were issued in connection with the mergers pursuant to which the Company acquired certain of its properties were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Those shares may not be offered or sold unless the offer and sale is registered under, or exempt from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act, and we do not intend to register the offer and sale of those shares. Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, those shares may be transferred without registration only if we satisfy the current public information requirement of Rule 144, which requires that we have filed all required periodic reports under the Exchange Act during the 12 months preceding such sale. If we do not satisfy the current public information requirement of Rule 144, shares of common stock issued in the mergers that have been completed to date cannot be transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The trading volume and market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and you may have an illiquid investment.
Even if a trading market develops and is sustained for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume of our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. It may be difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares in the amount or at prices or times that they find attractive, or at all. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future, including as a result of factors unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In particular, the market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many factors, including, among others, the following:
29
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
We have not established a minimum dividend, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to pay or maintain cash dividends on our common stock or that dividends will increase over time.
We have not established a minimum dividend payment level for our common stock and can provide no assurances regarding the payment of dividends in the future. Dividends will be authorized and determined by our board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time and will depend upon a number of factors, including:
We bear all expenses incurred by our operations, and our funds generated by operations, after deducting these expenses, may not be sufficient to cover dividends to our stockholders at desirable levels or at all.
Common stock eligible for future sale could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
In connection with the acquisitions since 2019, we have issued 28,744,641 shares of common stock, 3,849,613 Common OP units and 1,842,917 Preferred OP units. Common OP units may be tendered by the holder for redemption in exchange for cash or, at our election, shares of common stock beginning on the first anniversary of issuance. Holders of Preferred OP units have the right to convert each Preferred OP unit into one Common OP unit plus a cash payment. On the date that the common stock is first listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American or the Nasdaq Stock Market, each Preferred OP unit will automatically convert into one Common OP unit and the right to receive a cash payment. We have also issued (i) warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 3,060,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the shares of common stock issued to non-affiliates will become freely transferable by the holders thereof six months after issuance, subject to us meeting the current public information requirement under Rule 144. Additionally, the holder of the Fortress Warrants (as defined below) has certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Fortress Warrants. In addition, from time to time we may issue additional shares of common stock or OP units in connection with the acquisition of properties, as compensation or otherwise, and we may grant registration rights in connection with such issuances.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances and sales of our common stock and OP units, or the availability of shares for future sales, on the market price of the common stock. Issuances and sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or upon the exchange of OP units, or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our board of directors is authorized to issue and designate shares of our preferred stock in additional series without stockholder approval.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without the approval of our stockholders, to issue 1.0 million shares of our preferred stock, subject to limitations prescribed by applicable law, rules and regulations and the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish
30
from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, preferences and rights of these additional series of preferred stock may be senior to or on parity with our common stock, which may reduce its value.
Future issuances of debt securities or preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock upon liquidation, or future issuances of equity securities (including OP units), which would dilute our existing stockholders and may be senior to our common stock for purposes of making distributions, may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the value of OP units.
In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other borrowings. Upon our liquidation, holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock will receive a distribution of our available assets before common stockholders. If we incur additional debt in the future, our future interest costs could increase and adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. We are not required to offer any additional equity securities to existing common stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities (including OP units), warrants or options, will dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders and such issuances or the perception of such issuances may reduce the market price of our common stock. Holders of Preferred OP units are entitled to monthly distributions, a portion of which will be paid in cash and a portion of which will accrue on and be added to the liquidation preference of the Preferred OP units each month. Such monthly distributions could eliminate or otherwise limit our ability to make dividends to our common stockholders. If we issue additional preferred stock, it would likely have a preference on dividend payments, periodically or upon liquidation, which could eliminate or otherwise limit our ability to make dividends to our common stockholders. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities or incur other borrowings in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts. Thus, common stockholders bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or equity securities or our incurrence of other borrowings will negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
Increases in market interest rates may reduce demand for our common stock and result in a decline in the market price of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock may be influenced by the dividend yield on our common stock (i.e., the amount of our annual dividends, if any, as a percentage of the market price of our common stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates, which are currently low compared to historical levels, may lead prospective purchasers of our common stock to expect a higher dividend yield, which we may not be able, or may choose not, to provide. Higher interest rates would also likely increase our borrowing costs and decrease our operating results and cash available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
Messrs. Jacoby and Yockey own a substantial interest in our company on a fully diluted basis and may have the ability to exercise significant influence on our company.
As of March 21, 2025, Messrs. Jacoby and Yockey together owned approximately 18.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and 20.2% of the combined outstanding shares of common stock, Common OP units (which Common OP units may be tendered by the holder for redemption in exchange for cash or, at our election, shares of common stock beginning on the first anniversary of issuance) and Preferred OP units. In addition, Mr. Neal, a member of our board of directors, owned approximately 3.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 21, 2025. Consequently, certain members of our management and our board of directors, whose economic, tax or business interests or goals may be different or inconsistent with ours, may be able to significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted for stockholder action, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, including business combinations, consolidations and mergers.
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of OP units in the Operating Partnership, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and the Operating Partnership or any partner thereof (including certain of our executive officers and directors), on the other hand. Our directors and officers have duties to our company under Delaware law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, our wholly owned subsidiary, Broad Street OP GP, LLC, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, has fiduciary duties and obligations to the Operating Partnership and its limited partners under Delaware law and the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “OP Partnership Agreement”) in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. The general partner’s fiduciary duties and obligations as the general partner of the Operating Partnership may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers of the Company. Certain of our officers and directors are limited partners in the Operating Partnership.

Unless otherwise provided for in a partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of good faith, fairness and loyalty and which generally prohibit such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest. The OP Partnership Agreement provides that, in the event of a conflict between the interests of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership, on the one hand, and the separate interests of our stockholders, on the other hand, the general partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall act in the interests of our stockholders and is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the limited partners of the Operating Partnership in deciding whether to cause the Operating Partnership to take or not to take any actions. The OP Partnership Agreement further provides that any decisions or actions not taken by the general partner in accordance with the OP Partnership Agreement will not violate any duties, including the duty of loyalty that the general partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, owes to the Operating Partnership and its partners.
We are a holding company with no direct operations and, as such, we will rely on funds received from the Eagles Sub-OP and the Operating Partnership to pay any distributions to our stockholders, and the interests of our stockholders are structurally subordinated to all liabilities and obligations of the Eagles Sub-OP and the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through the Eagles Sub-OP and the Operating Partnership. Apart from interests in the Operating Partnership, we do not have any material assets. As a result, we will rely on cash distributions from the Operating Partnership, which relies on cash distributions from the Eagles Sub-OP, to pay any distributions our board of directors may declare on shares of our common stock. We also rely on distributions from the Operating Partnership to meet any of our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from the Operating Partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, claims of our stockholders are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Operating Partnership and their respective subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Operating Partnership and their respective subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and the Eagles Sub-OP’s, the Operating Partnership’s and their respective subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.
Our board of directors may change its strategies, policies or procedures without the consent of stockholders, which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.
Our investment, financing, leverage and distribution policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion. These policies may be amended or revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of the board of directors without notice to or a vote of the stockholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments or pursuing different business or growth strategies than those previously disclosed. Under these circumstances, we may be exposed to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth. In addition, our board of directors may change our policies with respect to conflicts of interest, provided that such changes are consistent with applicable legal requirements. A change in these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, trading price of our common stock and ability to satisfy our liquidity obligations and to make distributions to stockholders.
Certain provisions in the OP Partnership Agreement may delay or prevent unsolicited acquisitions of us.
Provisions in the OP Partnership Agreement may delay, or make more difficult, unsolicited acquisitions of us or changes of our control. These provisions could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition of us or change in our control, although some of our stockholders might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others:
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited, which could limit your recourse in the event that we take certain actions which are not in our stockholders’ best interests.
Our charter and bylaws obligate us to indemnify each present and former director or officer, and the OP Partnership Agreement requires us to indemnify the general partner of the Operating Partnership, to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law, in the defense of any proceeding to which he, she or it is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his, her or its service to us or the Operating Partnership. In addition, we may be obligated to advance the defense costs incurred by our directors and officers. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors granting them express indemnification rights. As
32
a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers, than might otherwise exist absent the current provisions in our charter, bylaws and indemnification agreements or that might exist for other public companies.
Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and under Delaware law could delay or prevent a change of control.
Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have an anti‑takeover effect and may delay, defer, or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt, or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things:
Additionally, our status as a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder (generally a stockholder, who together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of our voting rights) for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the U.S. federal district courts, as applicable, will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees, or stockholders.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Company to the Company or our stockholders, creditors or other constituents, (iii) action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the U.S. federal district courts will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act, creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, except our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived (and cannot waive) compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Termination of the employment agreements with our executive officers could be costly and prevent a change in control.
The employment agreements that we entered into with Messrs. Jacoby and Topchy provide that, if their employment with us terminates under certain circumstances (including upon a change in our control), we may be required to pay them significant amounts of severance compensation, including accelerated vesting of equity awards, thereby making it costly to terminate their employment.
33
Furthermore, these provisions could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium paid for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Our tax protection agreements could limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties.
In connection with certain property acquisitions in which Common OP units were be issued as consideration, our Operating Partnership entered into tax protection agreements that provide that if we dispose of any interest in the contributed properties in a taxable transaction prior to the seventh anniversary of the completion of such mergers, subject to certain exceptions, we will indemnify the investors for their tax liabilities attributable to the built-in gain that exists with respect to such property interests as of the time of such mergers and the tax liabilities incurred as a result of such tax protection payment. In addition, we may enter into similar tax protection agreements in the future if we issue OP units in connection with the acquisition of properties. Therefore, although it may be in our best interests that we sell one of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so because of these obligations.
Our tax protection agreements may require our Operating Partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate our business.
Under our tax protection agreements, our Operating Partnership is obligated to provide certain OP unit holders the opportunity to guarantee debt or enter into deficit restoration obligations, including upon a future repayment, retirement, refinancing or other reduction (other than scheduled amortization) of currently outstanding debt prior to the seventh anniversary of the completion of such mergers. If we fail to make such opportunities available, we will be required to deliver to each such OP unit holder a cash payment intended to approximate the investor’s tax liability resulting from our failure to make such opportunities available to that OP unit holder and the tax liabilities incurred as a result of such tax protection payment. We agreed to these provisions in order to assist the investors in deferring the recognition of taxable gain as a result of and after such mergers, and we may agree to similar provisions in the future if we issue OP units in connection with the acquisition of additional properties. These obligations may require us to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “BRST.” On March 21, 2025, there were 558 holders of record. Such information was obtained through our registrar and transfer agent. The quotations on the OTCQX are inter-dealer prices without retail markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. On January 31, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of the bid price for our common stock being below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 1, 2025, to regain compliance, during which the bid price must be at least $0.10 for 10 consecutive trading days. Further, on February 5, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of our market capitalization staying below $5 million for more than 30 consecutive days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 5, 2025, to regain compliance, during which our market capitalization must be at least $5 million for 10 consecutive trading days. If we fail to regain compliance with the foregoing requirements during the respective cure periods, trading in our common stock will be moved from OTCQX to either the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink Market.
35
Dividends
We do not have a history of paying cash dividends to holders of our common stock. In the future, we intend to make regular quarterly distributions to the holders of our common stock. However, we can provide no assurances as to the timing of dividends or as to the amount of dividends. Our ability to make distributions will depend upon our actual results of operations and earnings, economic conditions, restrictions in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement (as discussed below) and other factors that could differ materially from our current expectations. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenue we receive from our properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, the ability of our tenants to meet their obligations to us and unanticipated expenditures. For more information regarding factors that could materially and adversely affect our actual results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders, see Item 1.A “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. Distributions declared by us will be authorized by our board of directors in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor and will be dependent upon a number of factors, including restrictions under applicable law and the capital requirements of our company. We may be required to fund distributions from working capital or borrow to provide funds for such distributions, or we may choose to make a portion of the required distributions in the form of a taxable stock dividend to preserve our cash balance or reduce our distributions. However, we currently have no intention to make distributions using shares of our common stock.
Furthermore, we anticipate that, at least initially, any distributions that we make will exceed our then current and then accumulated earnings and profits for the relevant taxable year, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, due to non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization charges that we expect to incur. Therefore, all or a portion of these distributions may represent a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The extent to which our distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits may vary substantially from year to year. To the extent that a distribution is treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will reduce a holder’s adjusted tax basis in the holder’s shares, and to the extent that it exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis will be treated as gain resulting from a sale or exchange of such shares. As a result, the gain (or loss) recognized on the sale of that common stock or upon our liquidation will be decreased (or increased) accordingly.
The Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement contains the following restrictions on the payment of dividends to holders of our common stock: (1) we were not able to pay dividends on our common stock until January 2024 and (2) the amount of such dividends, if any, together with distributions on the OP units, will be limited to a 4.0% annual yield based on the average price of our common stock on the first trading day of each calendar month and based on the aggregate outstanding shares of common stock and OP units (other than Common OP units held by us).
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section provides a discussion of our financial condition and comparative results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report. For more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following information, you should read the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Overview
We are focused on owning and managing essential grocery-anchored and mixed-use assets located in densely populated technology employment hubs and higher education centers within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Colorado markets. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 15 properties. The properties in our portfolio are dispersed in sub-markets that we believe generally have high population densities, high traffic counts, good visibility and accessibility, which provide our tenants with attractive locations to serve the necessity-based needs of the surrounding communities. As of December 31, 2024, the properties in our portfolio were 92.1% leased and 89.5% occupied. We are focused on acquiring additional strategically positioned properties in established and developing neighborhoods primarily leased to necessity-based tenants that meet the needs of the surrounding communities in our existing markets, as well as acquiring properties in new markets that meet our investment criteria, including the Southeastern United States. In addition, we provide commercial real estate brokerage services for our own portfolio and third-party office, industrial and retail operators and tenants.

We are structured as an “Up-C” corporation with substantially all of our operations conducted through our Operating Partnership and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 86.4% of the OP units in our Operating Partnership, and we are the sole member of the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership.
Related Party Transactions
See Note 18 “Related Party Transactions” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for information concerning our related party transactions.
How We Derive Our Revenue
We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from rents received from our tenants at each of our properties. Our leases are generally triple net, pursuant to which the tenant is responsible for property expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance, or modified gross, pursuant to which the tenant generally reimburses us for its proportional share of expenses. As of December 31, 2024, our retail portfolio (i) had annualized base rent of $22.9 million, (ii) had an annualized base rent per square foot of $15.31, (iii) was 90.9% leased (87.8% occupied) to a diversified group of tenants and (iv) had no tenant accounting for more than 4.0% of the total annualized base rent.
Additionally, a portion of Midtown Row is student housing. Accordingly, our income is also derived from student housing, which is leased by the bed on an individual lease liability basis. Individual lease liability limits each resident's liability to his or her own rent without the liability of a roommate's rent. A parent or guardian is generally required to execute each lease as a guarantor unless the resident provides adequate proof of income or financial aid. These leases typically correspond to the university's academic year, which runs from August 1st to July 31st. Midtown Row is comprised of 240 student housing units with 620 beds, and as of December 31, 2024, it was 100% leased and had annualized base rent of $9.5 million.
We also operate a third-party property management and brokerage business unit. Our brokerage business primarily consists of representations of commercial tenants for their office and retail real estate needs, either for lease transactions or purchase and sale transactions.
Factors that May Impact Future Results of Operations
Rental Income
Growth in rental income will depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria and on filling vacancies and increasing rents on the properties in our portfolio. The amount of rental income generated by the properties in our portfolio depends on our ability to renew expiring leases or re-lease space upon the scheduled or unscheduled termination of leases, lease currently available space and maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. Our rental income in future periods could be adversely affected by local, regional or national economic conditions, an oversupply of or a reduction in demand for retail space, changes in market rental rates, our ability to provide adequate services and maintenance at our properties, and fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, economic downturns affecting our markets or downturns in our tenants’ businesses that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments to us could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rent and occupancy.
38
Scheduled Lease Expirations
Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or greater than that of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. Our properties are marketed to smaller tenants that generally desire shorter-term leases. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 45.8% of our retail portfolio (based on leased GLA) was leased to tenants occupying less than 10,000 square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, approximately 9.1% of our GLA was vacant and approximately 9.0% of our leases (based on total GLA) are scheduled to expire on or before December 31, 2025 or are month-to-month. See “Item 1 Business—Our Portfolio—Lease Expirations.” Although we maintain ongoing dialogue with our tenants, we generally raise the issue of renewal at least 12 months prior to lease renewal. If our current tenants do not renew their leases or terminate their leases early, we may be unable to re-lease the space to new tenants on favorable terms or at all. Our vacancy trends will be impacted by new properties that we acquire, which may include properties with higher vacancy where we identified opportunities to increase occupancy.
Acquisitions
Over the long-term, we intend to grow our portfolio through the acquisition of additional strategically positioned properties in established and developing neighborhoods primarily leased to necessity-based tenants that meet the needs of the surrounding communities in our existing markets, as well as acquiring properties in new markets that meet our investment criteria, including the Southeastern United States. We have established relationships with a wide variety of market participants, including tenants, leasing agents, investment sales brokers, property owners and lenders, in our target markets and beyond and, over the long-term, we believe that we will have opportunities to acquire properties that meet our investment criteria at attractive prices.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include employee compensation costs, professional fees, consulting and other general administrative expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will rise in some measure as our portfolio grows but that such expenses as a percentage of our revenue will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.
Capital Expenditures
We incur capital expenditures at our properties that vary in amount and frequency based on each property’s specific needs. We expect our capital expenditures will be for recurring maintenance to ensure our properties are in good working condition, including parking and roof repairs, façade maintenance and general upkeep. We also will incur capital expenditures related to repositioning and refurbishing properties where we have identified opportunities to improve our properties to increase income and occupancy, and we may incur capital expenditures related to redevelopment or development consistent with our business and growth strategies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management considers accounting estimates or assumptions critical in either of the following cases:
Management believes the current assumptions used to make estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate and not likely to change in the future. However, actual experience could differ from the assumptions used to make estimates, resulting in changes that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and/or liquidity. These estimates will be made and evaluated on an ongoing basis using information that is available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management has discussed the determination and disclosures of these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors.
The following presents information about our critical accounting policies including the material assumptions used to develop significant estimates. Certain of these critical accounting policies contain discussion of judgments and estimates that have not yet been required by management but that it believes may be reasonably required of it to make in the future. See Note 2 “Accounting Policies and Related Matters” to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on significant accounting policies and the effect of recent accounting pronouncements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, and all material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate entities in which we own less than 100% of the equity interest but have a controlling interest through a variable interest, voting rights or other means. For these entities, we record a noncontrolling interest representing the equity held by other parties.
39
From inception, we continually evaluate all of our transactions and investments to determine if they represent variable interests subject to the variable interest entity (“VIE”) consolidation model and then determine which business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of its operations. We make judgments about which entities are VIEs based on an assessment of whether (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, do not have a controlling financial interest or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We consolidate investments in VIEs when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. This evaluation is based on our ability to direct and influence the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact that entity’s economic performance.
For investments not subject to the variable interest entity consolidation model, we will evaluate the type of rights held by the limited partner(s) or other member(s), which may preclude consolidation in circumstances in which the sole general partner or managing member would otherwise consolidate the limited partnership. The assessment of limited partners’ or members’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control over a limited partnership or limited liability corporation by the sole general partner or managing member should be made when an investor becomes the sole general partner or managing member and should be reassessed if (i) there is a change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the limited partners or members, (ii) the sole general partner or member increases or decreases its ownership in the limited partnership or corporation or (iii) there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding limited partnership or membership interests.
Our ability to assess correctly our influence or control over an entity at inception of our involvement or on a continuous basis when determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE affects the presentation of these entities in our consolidated financial statements. Subsequent evaluations of the primary beneficiary of a VIE may require the use of different assumptions that could lead to identification of a different primary beneficiary, resulting in a different consolidation conclusion than what was determined at inception of the arrangement.

Leases of Real Estate Properties: At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, we assess the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. Currently, all of our lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. Rental revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of a leased asset. If we determine that substantially all future lease payments are not probable of collection, we will account for these leases on a cash basis. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. The determination of ownership of the tenant improvements is subject to significant judgment. If our assessment of the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes were different, the timing and amount of revenue recognized would be impacted.
A majority of our leases require tenants to make estimated payments to the Company to cover their proportional share of operating expenses, including, but not limited to, real estate taxes, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, utilities and property management expenses. We collect these estimated expenses and are reimbursed by tenants for any actual expense in excess of estimates or reimburse tenants if collected estimates exceed actual operating results. The reimbursements are recorded in rental income, and the expenses are recorded in property operating expenses, as we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and bear the credit risk.
We assess the probability of collecting substantially all payments under our leases based on several factors, including, among other things, payment history of the lessee, the financial strength of the lessee and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends and current and future economic conditions and expectations of performance. If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to collect substantially all rents, we recognize a charge to rental income and limit our rental income to the lesser of lease income on a straight-line basis plus variable rents when they become accruable or cash collected. If we change our conclusion regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lessee, we may recognize an adjustment to rental income in the period we make a change to our prior conclusion.
Contractual rent increases of renewal options are often fixed at the time of the initial lease agreement which may result in tenants being able to exercise their renewal options at amounts that are less than the fair value of the rent at the date of the renewal. In addition to fixed base rents, certain rental income derived from our tenant leases is variable and may be dependent on percentage rent. Variable lease payments from percentage rents are earned by us in the event the tenant's gross sales exceed certain amounts. Terms of percentage rent are agreed upon in the tenant’s lease and will vary based on the tenant's sales.
We recognize lease termination fees in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Upon early lease terminations, we record gains (losses) related to unrecovered tenant-specific intangibles and other assets.
Leasing Commissions: We earn leasing commissions as a result of providing strategic advice and connecting tenants to third-party property owners in the leasing of retail space. We record commission revenue on real estate leases at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is generally upon lease execution. Terms and conditions of a commission agreement may include, but are not limited to, execution of a signed lease agreement and future contingencies, including tenant’s occupancy, payment of a deposit or payment of first month’s rent (or a combination thereof).
40
Property and Asset Management Fees: We provide real estate management services for owners of properties, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing is generally in the form of a monthly management fee based upon a percentage of property-level cash receipts or some other variable metric.
When accounting for reimbursements of third-party expenses incurred on a client’s behalf, we determine whether we are acting as a principal or an agent in the arrangement. When we are acting as a principal, our revenue is reported on a gross basis and comprises the entire amount billed to the client and reported cost of services includes all expenses associated with the client. When we are acting as an agent, our fee is reported on a net basis as revenue for reimbursed amounts is netted against the related expenses.
Engineering Services: We provide engineering services to third-party property owners on an as needed basis at the properties where we are the property or asset manager. We receive consideration at agreed upon fixed rates for the time incurred plus a reimbursement for costs incurred and revenue is recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed. We account for performance obligations using the right to invoice practical expedient. We apply the right to invoice practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contract. Under this practical expedient, we recognize revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of performance completed to date and for which there is a right to invoice the customer.
Real Estate Investments
We evaluate each purchase transaction to determine whether the acquired assets and liabilities assumed meet the definition of a business and make estimates as part of our allocation of the purchase prices. For acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions, the purchase price, including transaction costs, is allocated to the various components of the acquisition based upon the relative fair value of each component. For acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, the purchase price is allocated at fair value of each component and transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
We assess the fair value of acquired assets and acquired liabilities in accordance with the ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations and allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market and economic conditions that may affect the property. The most significant components of our allocations are typically the allocation of fair value to land and buildings and in-place leases and other intangible assets. The estimates of the fair value of buildings will affect the amount of depreciation and amortization we record over the estimated useful life of the property acquired.
For any value assigned to in-place leases and other intangibles, including the assessment as to the existence of any above-or below-market leases, management makes its best estimates based on the evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These assumptions affect the amount of future revenue that we will recognize over the remaining lease term for the acquired in-place leases. The values of any identified above-or below-market leases are based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, or for below-market leases including any bargain renewal option terms. Above-market lease values are recorded as a reduction of rental income over the lease term while below-market lease values are recorded as an increase to rental income over the lease term. The recorded values of in-place lease intangibles are recognized in amortization expense over the initial term of the respective leases.
Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are included in the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs related to acquisitions that are deemed business combinations are expensed as incurred.
Asset Impairment
Real estate asset impairment losses are recorded when events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset is impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount. Management assesses if there are triggering events including macroeconomic conditions, loss of an anchor tenant and the ability to re-tenant the space, significant and persistent delinquencies, unanticipated decreases in or sustained reductions of net operating income and government-mandated compliance with an adverse effect to the Company's cost basis or operating costs. If management concludes there are triggering events, we then assess the impairment of properties individually. Management analyzes recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the property. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value of a property is not recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of assets to be held and used. In determining fair value, we use current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value and other estimates of fair value such as estimated discounted future cash flows. The determination of future cash flows requires significant estimates by management. In management’s estimate of cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future sale of an asset, capitalization rates, holding periods and the undiscounted future cash flow analysis. Subsequent changes in estimated cash flows could affect the determination of whether an impairment exists.
41
Real Estate Held For Sale
We record properties held for sale, and any associated mortgage payable, assets and other liabilities associated with such properties as real estate held for sale, on our consolidated balance sheets when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected to occur within one year. Properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, an impairment expense is recognized. We estimate fair value, less estimated costs to sell, based on similar real estate sales transactions or the property’s sale price, if available. As of December 31, 2024, no properties were reclassified as held for sale.
Income Taxes
We account for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method and recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes us to change our judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, is included in the tax provision when such changes occur. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes us to change our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the tax provision when such changes occur.
We recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The estimate of our tax liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions requires management to assess uncertainties and to make judgments about the application of complex tax laws and regulations. We recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $0.8 million, or 2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, as a result of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million decreases in commissions and rental income, respectively. The decrease in commissions is due to lower transaction volume of leasing. Rental income primarily decreased as a result of the sale of two properties in the second and third quarters of 2023, which had aggregate rental income of $2.7 million during 2023. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in rental income for the remaining properties.
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $6.6 million, or 14%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily from: (i) a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $3.8 million, primarily related to a $1.8 million decrease in amortization of in-place lease intangibles, a $1.5 million decrease relating to two properties that were disposed of during 2023 and a $0.5 million decrease in amortization of real property depreciation, (ii) a $2.4 million impairment of real estate assets held for sale in 2023 as a result of reducing the carrying value of Dekalb Plaza for the amount that exceeded the property's fair value less estimated selling costs, (iii) a $0.4 million decline in impairment of real estate assets relating to the early termination of certain leases, and (iv) a $0.4 million decline in cost of services. These declines were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.2 million mainly attributable to an increase in payroll and related expenses of approximately $0.3 million, an increase in stock compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million and a decrease in professional service fees of approximately $0.4 million.
43
Gain on disposal of properties for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflects the gain recognized in connection with the sale of Spotswood Valley Square Shopping Center, partially offset by the loss recognized in connection with the sale of Dekalb Plaza.
Net interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased approximately $0.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $0.2 million increase of bank interest income partially offset by a $0.1 million decline of business interruption proceeds received during 2024.
The gain on derivative fair value adjustment was approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of approximately $1.3 million was primarily due to a $0.9 million change in fair value of interest rate swaps, a $0.2 million change in fair value of the interest rate cap that matured on January 1, 2024 and a $0.1 million change in fair value of the embedded derivative liability relating to the Preferred Equity Investment.
Net gain on fair value change on debt held under the fair value option reflects the change in the fair value of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan, for which we elected the fair value option.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased approximately $0.1 million, or 1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease of interest expense as a result of debt that was repaid in connection with the sale of two properties during the second and third quarters of 2023 and a $0.1 million decrease of interest expense as a result of the refinancing of five mortgages and the Basis Term Loan. This decline was partially offset by the incurrence of $1.1 million of interest expense relating to additional refinancings and capitalized deferred interest. We had additional net borrowings of approximately $15.5 million during 2024.
Income tax benefit decreased approximately $3.7 million over the prior year, which is primarily attributable to the Company recording a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset during 2024.
Preferred equity return on Fortress preferred equity reflects the portion of the distribution to the Fortress Member that is payable in cash and the portion that is accrued and added to the Preferred Equity Investment.
Preferred equity accretion to redemption value reflects the accretion of the carrying value of the Fortress Preferred Interest to the Redemption Amount (as defined below) over the remaining term.
Preferred OP units return reflects the portion of the distribution to holders of the Preferred OP units that are payable in cash and the portion that are accrued and added to the liquidation preference of the Preferred OP units.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased approximately $0.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest reflects the proportionate share of the OP units held by outside investors in the operating results of the Operating Partnership.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
We present the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other real estate companies and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other real estate companies. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance.
Net Operating Income and Same-center Net Operating Income
NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our properties. We define NOI as rental income less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. We also exclude the impact of straight‑line rent revenue, net amortization of above and below market leases, depreciation and amortization, interest, impairments and gains or losses of real estate assets and other significant infrequent items that create volatility in our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Same-center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure to net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our financial performance. We believe that NOI is a helpful measure because it provides additional information to allow management, investors and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results.
Same-center NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure which we use to assess our operating results. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Same-center NOI represents the NOI for 15 properties that were wholly owned and operational for the entire portion of each reporting period. Same-center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure to net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our financial performance, as it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio. We believe that Same-center NOI is a helpful measure because it provides additional information to allow management, investors and our current and potential creditors to enhance the comparability of our operating performance between periods.

The increase in total Same-center NOI for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, is mainly due to (i) an increase in occupancy due to higher leasing activity and scheduled rent increases for retail period over period, (ii) an increase in recoveries from tenants and (iii) an increase in residential base rent.
Our reconciliation of Same-center NOI for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is useful to investors in measuring our operating and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analysis of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations,
46
the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is calculated by excluding the effect of certain items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including stock-based compensation expense, deferred financing and debt issuance cost amortization, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, straight-line rent, non-cash interest expense and other non-comparable or non-operating items. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO.
AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period and is only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating performance. We believe that Net income/(loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of real estate companies and presenting AFFO enables investors to assess our performance in comparison to other real estate companies. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.
Our reconciliation of net loss to FFO and AFFO for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

The decrease in FFO and AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, is mainly due to a $3.7 million decrease in income tax benefit primarily attributable to the Company recording a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset during the year ended December 31, 2024 and a decrease in total revenues of $0.8 million. See “—Results of Operations” for further discussion.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDAre
We calculate EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by Nareit and define EBITDAre as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP (i) plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense, (ii) plus or minus losses or gains on the disposition of properties, (iii) plus impairment losses and (iv) with appropriate adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates and consolidated affiliates with non-controlling interests, in each case as applicable. We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre plus non-cash stock compensation, non-cash amortization related to above and below market leases and less straight-line rent revenue and non-cash fair value adjustment. Some of the adjustments can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as alternatives to net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our operating performance. We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are helpful measures because they provide additional information to allow management, investors and our current and potential creditors to evaluate and compare our core operating results and our ability to service debt. We also believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other real estate companies.
Our reconciliation of net loss to EBIDTAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre increased $0.7 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 mainly due to an increase in net interest and other income, partially offset by a decline in total revenues relating to a decrease in commissions and rental income. The decrease in rental income was a result of the sale of two properties in the second and third quarters of 2023. EBITDAre was also impacted by an increase of $1.3 million relating to derivative fair value adjustment. See “Results of Operations” above for further discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay any outstanding borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations and other general business needs. We depend substantially on financing activities to provide us with the liquidity and capital resources needed to meet our working capital requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of debt service requirements, operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures (such as repairs and maintenance of our properties), non-recurring capital expenditures (such as capital improvements and
48
tenant improvements) and cash distributions on the Fortress Preferred Interest and Preferred OP units. Except as noted below, we expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand and cash reserves and additional secured and unsecured debt. As of December 31, 2024 and March 21, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, available for current liquidity needs and restricted cash of approximately $4.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, which is available for debt service shortfall requirements, certain capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance.
As of December 31, 2024, we had three mortgage loans on three properties (Brookhill Shopping Center, Hollinswood Shopping Center and Avondale Shopping Center) totaling approximately $24.0 million that mature within twelve months of the date on which this report is filed with the SEC. The maturity date for one of the mortgage loans (Brookhill Shopping Center) with a balance of $9.2 million as of December 31, 2024, was extended on January 31, 2025 to April 30, 2025. On March 27, 2025, the maturity date of one of the mortgage loans (Hollinswood Shopping Center) with a balance of $12.1 million as of December 31, 2024, was extended to June 1, 2025. We sought only short-term extensions with the current lenders for these loans because we are separately working with another third party to refinance the loans prior to the extended maturity dates. Although we have a history of demonstrating our ability to successfully refinance our loans as they come due, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in our efforts to refinance the loans on favorable terms or at all. While it is not our current plan, we also have the option to sell properties securing the loans and use the proceeds to satisfy the outstanding loan obligations. If we are ultimately unable to refinance these loans prior to maturity or sell the properties prior to maturity, the lenders have the right to place the loans in default and ultimately foreclose on the properties securing the loans. Under this circumstance, we would not have any further financial obligations to the lenders as the current estimated market values of these properties are in excess of the outstanding loan balances.
Our long-term liquidity requirements are expected to consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, capital improvements, development and/or redevelopment of properties and property acquisitions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through net cash from operations, additional secured and unsecured debt and, subject to market conditions, the issuance of additional shares of common stock, preferred stock or OP units.
Our access to capital depends upon a number of factors over which we have little or no control, including general market conditions, the market’s perception of our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions, our current debt levels and the market price of the shares of our common stock. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX, there is a very limited trading market for our common stock, and if a more active trading market is not developed and sustained, we will be limited in our ability to issue equity to fund our capital needs. Further, on January 31, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of the bid price for our common stock being below $0.10 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 1, 2025, to regain compliance, during which the bid price must be at least $0.10 for 10 consecutive trading days. Furthermore, on February 5, 2025, OTC Markets Inc. informed us that we no longer met the Standards for Continued Qualification for the OTCQX U.S. tier as a result of our market capitalization staying below $5 million for more than 30 consecutive days. We have a cure period of 90 calendar days, or until May 5, 2025, to regain compliance, during which our market capitalization must be at least $5 million for 10 consecutive trading days. If we fail to regain compliance with the foregoing requirements during the respective cure periods, trading in our common stock will be moved from OTCQX to either the OTCQB Market or the OTC Pink Market, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock. Moreover, if we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to meet the capital and operating needs of our properties, satisfy our debt service obligations or pay dividends to our stockholders. Until we have greater access to capital, we will likely structure future acquisitions through joint ventures or other syndicated structures in which outside investors will contribute a majority of the capital and we will manage the assets.
As discussed below, on May 21, 2024, the Company agreed with the Fortress Member that, after revision of the total yield calculation as of March 31, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum total yield requirement under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would have been a Trigger Event. Effective May 21, 2024, the Fortress Member and the Operating Partnership entered into a temporary waiver agreement to waive the total yield failure and the existence of the Trigger Event until such time as the Fortress Member elects to revoke such waiver.
As described below, under our existing debt agreements, we are subject to continuing covenants. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements. In the event of a default, the lenders could accelerate the timing of payments under the applicable debt obligations and we may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources, which may not be available on attractive terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Mortgage Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately $232.3 million and $208.4 million, respectively, of outstanding mortgage indebtedness secured by individual properties. The Hollinswood mortgage, Vista Shops mortgage, Brookhill mortgage, Crestview mortgage, Highlandtown mortgage, Cromwell mortgage, Lamar Station Plaza West mortgage, Midtown Row mortgage, Coral Hills mortgage, West Broad mortgage and Greenwood Village mortgage require us to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the respective loan agreements) as follows in the table below.

On June 28, 2023, the loan agreement for our mortgage loan secured by the Vista Shops at Golden Mile was amended to change the interest rate to 7.73% per annum and extend the maturity date to June 24, 2024. On February 8, 2024, we refinanced the mortgage loan. The new loan has a principal balance of $16.2 million, bears interest at SOFR plus a spread of 2.75% per annum and matures on February 8, 2029. We entered into an interest rate swap which fixes the interest rate of the loan at 6.90%.
On April 30, 2024, the Company received a $19.2 million loan secured by Midtown Colonial and Midtown Lamonticello, which bears interest at a rate of 7.92% per annum and matures on May 1, 2027. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the new mortgage loan to pay off the Basis Term Loan.
On October 28, 2024, the loan agreement and guaranty agreement for the Company’s mortgage loan secured by the Hollinswood property was amended to extend the maturity date to March 1, 2025. On March 27, 2025, the maturity date was further extended to June 1, 2025.
On January 31, 2025, the promissory note for the Company's mortgage loan secured by the Brookhill property was amended to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt agreements.

Fortress Mezzanine Loan
In connection with the acquisition of Midtown Row, we entered into a $15.0 million mezzanine loan (the “Fortress Mezzanine Loan”) secured by 100% of the membership interests in the entity that owns Midtown Row. The mezzanine loan matures on December 1, 2027. Pursuant to the mezzanine loan agreement, a portion of the interest on the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is paid in cash (the “Current Interest”) and a portion of the interest is capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan each month (the “Capitalized Interest” and, together with the Current Interest, the “Mezzanine Loan Interest”). The initial Mezzanine Loan Interest rate was 12% per annum, comprised of a 5% Current Interest rate and a 7% Capitalized Interest rate. The Capitalized Interest rate increases each year by 1%. As of December 31, 2024, the Mezzanine Loan Interest rate was 14% per annum, comprised of a 5% Current Interest rate and a 9% Capitalized Interest rate. The Fortress Mezzanine Loan (including a prepayment penalty) will be due and payable in connection with a Qualified Public Offering. However, in connection with a Qualified Public Offering, the lender for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan has the right to convert all or a portion of the principal of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan and any prepayment penalty into shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The mezzanine loan agreement provides for cross-default in the event of a Trigger Event under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement or an event of default under the loan agreement for the Midtown Row mortgage.
On January 31, 2025, we entered into a Note Sale and Assignment Agreement, as amended, with CF Flyer Mezz Holdings LLC, the lender under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan (“CF Flyer Mezz”), and FMC BRST Mezzanine LLC (“FMC BRST Mezzanine”) pursuant to which FMC BRST Mezzanine will purchase, and CF Flyer Mezz will sell, CF Flyer Mezz’s right, title and interests in and to the Fortress Mezzanine Loan and other certain instruments, agreements and other documents securing, guaranteeing or otherwise executed and delivered in connection therewith (the “Note Purchase”). The closing of the Note Purchase, which is subject to certain conditions, is scheduled for March 31, 2025, which may be extended to April 30, 2025.
See Note 8, “Mortgage and Other Indebtedness” for more information.
Fortress Preferred Equity Investment
On November 22, 2022, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Eagles Sub-OP entered into a Preferred Equity Investment Agreement with the Fortress Member, pursuant to which the Fortress Member invested $80.0 million in the Eagles Sub-OP in exchange for a preferred membership interest (such interest, the “Fortress Preferred Interest” and such investment, the “Preferred Equity Investment”).
In connection with the Preferred Equity Investment, the Operating Partnership and the Fortress Member entered into the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, and the Operating Partnership contributed to the Eagles Sub-OP its subsidiaries that, directly or indirectly, own Brookhill Azalea Shopping Center, Vista Shops, Hollinswood Shopping Center, Avondale Shops, Greenwood Village Shopping Center and Lamar Station Plaza East in November 2022, as well as Cromwell Field in December 2022. Pursuant to the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Operating Partnership had the obligation to contribute to the Eagles Sub-OP its direct and indirect subsidiaries owning eight additional properties. As of December 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership had contributed to the Eagles Sub-OP its subsidiaries that own Highlandtown, Crestview, Coral Hills, West Broad, Midtown Colonial and Midtown Lamonticello and, with the approval of the Fortress Member, sold Spotswood and Dekalb Plaza (collectively, the “Excluded Properties”).
Pursuant to the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Fortress Member is entitled to monthly distributions, a portion of which is paid in cash (the “Current Preferred Return”) and a portion that accrues on and is added to the Preferred Equity Investment each month (the “Capitalized Preferred Return” and, together with the Current Preferred Return, the “Preferred Return”). The initial Preferred Return was 12% per annum, comprised of a 5% Current Preferred Return and a 7% Capitalized Preferred Return, provided that, until certain of the Excluded Properties were contributed to the Eagles Sub-OP, the Capitalized Preferred Return was increased by 4.75%. The Capitalized Preferred Return increases each year by 1%. Commencing on November 22, 2027, the Preferred Return will be 19% per annum, all payable in cash, and will increase an additional 3% each year thereafter. Upon (i) the occurrence of a Trigger Event, (ii) during a three-month period in which distributions on the Preferred Equity Investment are not made because such payments would cause a violation of Delaware law or (iii) if a Qualified Public Offering has not occurred on or prior to November 22, 2027, the entire Preferred Return shall accrue at the then-applicable Preferred Return plus 4% and shall be payable monthly in cash. As of December 31, 2024, the Preferred Return was 14% per annum, comprised of a 5% Current Preferred Return and a 9% Capitalized Preferred Return. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Capitalized Preferred Return was approximately $19.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively, and is reflected within Redeemable noncontrolling Fortress preferred interest on the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $4.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, of Current Preferred Return and $7.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of Capitalized Preferred Return as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of equity.
Upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, unless earlier redeemed, the Eagles Sub-OP must redeem the entire Fortress Preferred Interest by payment in cash to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount, provided that (i) the Eagles Sub-OP may elect, in its discretion, not to redeem $37.5 million of the Preferred Equity Investment and (ii) $25.0 million of the Preferred Equity Investment (less the amount of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan converted into common stock in connection with such Qualified Public Offering, if any) will be converted to shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Operating Partnership may cause the Eagles Sub-OP to redeem the Fortress Preferred Interest in whole (but not in part), by payment in cash to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount, as long as the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is repaid in full before or concurrently with
52
such redemption. The “Redemption Amount” is equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding loans advanced to the Eagles Sub-OP by the Fortress Member in accordance with the terms of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, together with all accrued and unpaid return on such loans; (ii) the unredeemed balance of the Preferred Equity Investment; (iii) an amount equal to the greater of (x) all accrued and unpaid Preferred Return and (y) a 1.40x minimum multiple on the amount of all loans and capital contributions made by the Fortress Member to the Eagles Sub-OP in accordance with the terms of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which minimum multiple shall be reduced to 1.30x upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering; and (iv) all other payments, fees, costs and expenses due or payable to the Fortress Member under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, including a $10.0 million exit fee unless the Redemption Amount is paid upon or following the completion of a Qualified Public Offering.
The Operating Partnership serves as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP. However, the Fortress Member has approval rights over certain Major Actions (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement), including, but not limited to (i) the adoption and approval of annual corporate and property budgets, (ii) the amendment, renewal, termination or modification of Material Contracts, leases over 5,000 square feet and certain loan documents, (iii) the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) taking actions of bankruptcy or failing to defend an involuntary bankruptcy action of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (v) effecting any reorganization or recapitalization of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (vi) declaring or paying distributions on any equity security of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, (vii) issuing any equity securities in the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, (viii) conducting a merger or consolidation of the Eagles Sub-OP, the Company or the Operating Partnership or selling substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries or the Eagles Sub-OP and its subsidiaries, (ix) amending, terminating or otherwise modifying the loans secured by the properties indirectly owned by the Eagles Sub-OP, subject to certain exceptions, (x) incurring additional indebtedness or making prepayments on indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions; (xi) acquiring any property outside the ordinary course of business of the Company and (xii) selling any property below the minimum release price for such property.
In addition, we are required to maintain separate bank accounts for tenant improvement costs and leasing costs as well as the net proceeds from the Spotswood and Dekalb dispositions. Prior written consent of the Fortress Member is required for the disbursement and use of cash held in such accounts, which had a combined balance of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and is reflected in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets.
Under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, “Trigger Events” include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal acts or intentional misappropriation of funds with respect to a property owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for an involuntary bankruptcy that is dismissed within 90 days of commencement; (iii) a material breach of certain provisions of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (iv) monetary defaults or material non-monetary defaults under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan or the mortgage loans secured by properties owned directly or indirectly by the Eagles Sub-OP; (v) failure to meet the minimum Total Yield requirements under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (vi) failure to pay the Current Preferred Return (subject to a limited cure period) or failure to make distributions as required by the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (viii) Mr. Jacoby (A) ceasing to be employed as the chief executive officer of the Company, (B) not being actively involved in the management of the Company or (C) failing to hold an aggregate of at least 3,802,594 shares of common stock and OP units, in each case subject to the Company’s right to appoint a replacement chief executive officer reasonably acceptable to the Fortress Member within 90 days; and (ix) material breaches or material defaults of the Company, the Operating Partnership or their subsidiaries under certain other agreements related to the Preferred Equity Investment.
On May 21, 2024, the Company agreed with the Fortress Member that, after revision of the total yield calculation as of March 31, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum total yield requirement under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would have been a Trigger Event. Effective May 21, 2024, the Fortress Member and the Operating Partnership entered into a temporary waiver agreement to waive the total yield failure and the existence of the Trigger Event until such time as the Fortress Member elects to revoke such waiver. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Fortress Member has the right to cause the Eagles Sub-OP to redeem the Fortress Preferred Interest by payment to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount upon not less than 90 days prior written notice to the Eagles Sub-OP. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event the Fortress Member would have the right (among other rights) to (i) remove the Operating Partnership as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP and to serve as the managing member until the Fortress Member is paid the Redemption Amount, (ii) cause the Eagles Sub-OP to sell one or more properties until the entire Fortress Preferred Interest has been redeemed for the Redemption Amount, (iii) cause the Eagles Sub-OP to use certain reserve accounts to pay the Fortress Member the full Redemption Amount, and (iv) terminate all property management and other service agreements with affiliates of the Company. Further, the mezzanine loan agreement for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan provides for cross-default in the event of a Trigger Event.
On January 31, 2025, we entered into a Preferred Membership Interest and Warrant Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Interest and Warrant Purchase Agreement”) with CF Flyer PE Investor LLC (“CF Flyer PE”), CF Flyer Mezz (together with CF Flyer PE, the “Fortress Parties”) and FMC BRST Preferred LLC (“FMC BRST Preferred”). Pursuant to the Interest and Warrant Purchase Agreement, FMC BRST Preferred will purchase, and the Fortress Parties will sell, (i) 100% of the Fortress Preferred Interest and (ii) the outstanding warrant (“Fortress Warrant”) to purchase 2,560,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (subject to certain adjustments) held by CF Flyer Mezz (the “Preferred Membership Interest and Warrant Transfer”). The closing of the Preferred
53
Membership Interest and Warrant Transfer, which is subject to certain conditions, is scheduled for March 31, 2025, which may be extended to April 30, 2025.

Operating Activities- Cash from operating activities increased by approximately $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Operating cash flows were primarily impacted by a net increase in changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $3.5 million, of which $3.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million was related to the net change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenues and accounts receivable, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a decline of approximately $0.8 million in other assets.
Investing Activities- Cash from investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by approximately $40.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease resulted primarily from $44.8 million of proceeds received from the sale of the Spotswood property and the Dekalb property in 2023. This decrease was partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in capital expenditures for real estate during 2024 as compared to 2023 and an increase of approximately $0.4 million of insurance proceeds relating to fire damage at two of our retail properties.
Financing Activities- Cash from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by approximately $46.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted primarily from (i) the $58.7 million repayment of a portion of the Basis Term Loan in 2023 with proceeds from the sale of the Dekalb property and the new loans secured by Coral Hills, Crestview and West Broad; (ii) the $11.9 million repayment of the Spotswood mortgage loan in 2023 with proceeds from the sale of the Spotswood property; (iii) a net increase of $10.6 million from the financing of the Midtown Colonial and Midtown Lamonticello properties in 2024 that were previously collateral for the Basis Term Loan, with a portion of the proceeds used to pay off the Basis Term Loan; (iv) a net increase in the Vista Shops at Golden Mile Loan of approximately $4.9 million from the refinance of the loan; (v) the $3.9 million redemption of the preferred interest in one of our subsidiaries in 2023 with proceeds from the sale of the Spotswood property and refinancing of the mortgage loan secured by Highlandtown and (vi) additional draws of $1.4 million in 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 relating to the Cromwell Field Shopping Center Loan. These increases were partially offset by (i) $12.8 million related to the new mortgage loan secured by Coral Hills in 2023; (ii) $12.0 million related to the new mortgage loan secured by Crestview in 2023; (iii) $11.8 million related to the new mortgage loan secured by West Broad in 2023; (iv) $3.5 million related to the new mortgage loan secured by Highlandtown in 2023; (v) net proceeds of $1.4 million related to the Greenwood Village interest rate swap received in 2023; (vi) a $1.7 million increase in debt origination and discount fees; (vii) $0.5 million additional draws relating to Brookhill during 2023 and (viii) an increase in scheduled principal payments on loans of approximately $0.7 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2023.
Inflation
Inflation primarily impacts our results of operations as a result of wage pressures and increases in utilities and repair and maintenance costs. In addition, inflation could also impact our general and administrative expenses, the interest on our debt if variable or refinanced in a high-inflationary environment, our cost of capital, and our cost of development, redevelopment, maintenance or other operating activities. Substantially all of our leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of our leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our leases for the residential portion of Midtown Row generally have lease terms of 11.5 months, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Broad Street Realty, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Reston, Virginia
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Broad Street Realty, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and schedule III (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Liquidity
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2024, the Company has mortgage and other indebtedness with a combined principal balance of $24.0 million which is currently scheduled to mature within one year of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Note 1 describes the Company’s future liquidity plans. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that:
(1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of Real Estate Properties for Impairment
Description of Matter
At December 31, 2024, the Company’s real estate properties totaled $311.4 million, net. As more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates its real estate properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. Management evaluates various qualitative and quantitative factors in determining whether or not events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. Auditing the Company’s impairment assessment involved subjectivity due to the assumptions in its consideration of events or changes in circumstances to identify whether there are indicators of impairment, as well as estimation required to assess significant assumptions utilized in the recoverability of the real estate based on undiscounted operating income and residual values, such as assumptions related to macroeconomic conditions, renewal and renegotiations of current leases, and future operating cash flows.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To test the Company’s evaluation of real estate properties for impairment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over the Company’s investment property impairment review process, assessing the methodologies applied, evaluating the significant assumptions discussed above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the analysis. We reviewed qualitative factors to determine whether any events or circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of the Company’s investment properties may not be recoverable. Further, we compared the recoverability calculated to the remaining net book value of the assets to ensure recoverability for the properties’ remaining useful lives. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to relevant market information and other applicable sources. As part of our evaluation, we performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the undiscounted cash flows of the related property that would result from changes in the assumptions.
Valuation of Mezzanine Loan
Description of Matter
At December 31, 2024, the Company has entered into a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) that the Company has elected to measure at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. Calculations and accounting for the Mezzanine Loan require management’s judgments related to subsequent recognition, use of a valuation model, and determination of the appropriate inputs used in the selected valuation model. As more fully described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow method under the income approach valuation technique in measuring the fair value. Auditing management’s valuations of the Mezzanine Loan was challenging due to the inputs that are highly sensitive to changes such as both the timing and probability of cash flows, as well as risk-adjusted discount rates.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the internal controls and processes in place over the Company’s process used in determining the valuation of the Mezzanine Loan, evaluating the Company’s use of the model used and testing the significant assumptions used in the models, evaluating the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in supporting the assumptions and estimates, and involving valuation specialists to assist in assessing the significant assumptions and methodology used by the Company.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

The Company is structured as an “Up-C” corporation with substantially all of its operations conducted through Broad Street Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
The Company’s rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at its properties and the ability of its tenants to meet their rent and other obligations to the Company. The Company depends substantially on financing activities to provide it with the liquidity and capital resources needed to meet its working capital requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations. The Company’s projected operating model reflects sufficient cash flow to cover its obligations over the next twelve months, except as noted below.
The Company’s financing is generally comprised of mortgage loans secured by the Company’s properties that typically mature within to
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had
64
outstanding loan obligations. If the Company is ultimately unable to refinance these loans or sell the properties prior to maturity, the lenders have the right to place the loans in default and ultimately foreclose on the properties securing the loans. Under this circumstance, the Company would not have any further financial obligations to the lenders as the current estimated market values of these properties are in excess of the outstanding loan balances.
The Company's access to capital depends upon a number of factors over which the Company has little or no control, including general market conditions, the market's perception of the Company's current and potential future earnings and cash distributions, the Company's current debt levels and the market price of the shares of the Company's common stock. Although the Company's common stock is quoted on the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”), an over-the-counter stock market, there is a very limited trading market for the Company's common stock, and if a more active trading market is not developed and sustained, the Company will be limited in its ability to issue equity to fund its capital needs.
Under the agreement with the Fortress Member (as defined below), on May 21, 2024, the Company agreed with the Fortress Member that, after revision of the total yield calculation as of March 31, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum total yield requirement under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would have been a Trigger Event. Effective May 21, 2024, the Fortress Member and the Operating Partnership entered into a temporary waiver agreement to waive the total yield failure and the existence of the Trigger Event until such time as the Fortress Member elects to revoke such waiver.
Under the Company's debt agreements, the Company is subject to certain covenants. In the event of a default, the lenders could accelerate the timing of payments under the applicable debt obligations and the Company may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources, which may not be available on attractive terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements as of December 31, 2024.
Note 2 - Accounting Policies and Related Matters
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expense reported in the period. Significant estimates are made for the valuation of real estate and any related intangibles and fair value assessments with respect to purchase price allocations, valuation of the Fortress Preferred Equity Investment (as defined below) embedded derivatives and valuation of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan (as defined below). Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
The Company has made certain reclassifications to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements in order to enhance the comparability with the current year’s consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or cash flows from operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no material differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, management evaluates the entity to determine: (i) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), (ii) in the event that the entity is a VIE, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity, and (iii) in the event the entity is not a VIE, whether the Company otherwise has a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
65
The Company consolidates: (i) entities that are VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are not VIEs which the Company controls. If the Company has an interest in a VIE but is not determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting. Similarly, for those entities which are not VIEs and the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, the Company accounts for its interest under the equity method of accounting. The Company continually reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and whether the Company qualifies as its primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership and the Eagles Sub-OP (as defined in Note 10), VIEs in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary.
Noncontrolling Interest
The portion of equity not owned by the Company in entities controlled by the Company, and thus consolidated, is presented as noncontrolling interest and classified as a component of consolidated equity, separate from total stockholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded will be based on the noncontrolling interest holder’s initial investment in the consolidated entity, adjusted to reflect the noncontrolling interest holder’s share of earnings or losses in the consolidated entity, any distributions received or additional contributions made by the noncontrolling interest holder and conversion of OP units into common stock. The earnings or losses from the entity attributable to noncontrolling interests are reflected in “net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Segment Reporting
The Company owns, operates, develops and redevelops primarily grocery-anchored shopping centers, street retail-based properties and mixed-use assets. The Company has aggregated all of its properties into
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at major commercial banks which at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on invested cash.
Amounts included in restricted cash represents escrow deposits held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue from the following: Leases of Real Estate Properties, Leasing Commissions, Property and Asset Management, Engineering Services, Development Services, and Capital Transactions.
Leases of Real Estate Properties: At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. Currently, all of the Company’s lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. Rental revenue for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of a leased asset. If the Company determines that future lease payments are not probable of collection, the Company will account for these leases on a cash basis. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. The determination of ownership of the tenant improvements is subject to significant judgment. If the Company’s assessment of the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes were different, the timing and amount of revenue recognized would be impacted.
A majority of the Company’s leases require tenants to make estimated payments to the Company to cover their proportional share of operating expenses, including, but not limited to, real estate taxes, property insurance, routine maintenance and repairs, utilities and property management expenses. The Company collects these estimated expenses and is reimbursed by tenants for any actual expense in excess of estimates or reimburses tenants if collected estimates exceed actual operating results. The reimbursements are recorded in rental income and the expenses are recorded in property-related expenses.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases effective January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition method to apply the provisions of ASC 842 as of the effective date, rather than the earliest period presented. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits it not to reassess under the new standard the Company's prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company made an accounting policy election to exempt short-term leases of 12 months or less from balance sheet recognition requirements associated with the new standard. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to
66
land easements, the latter not being material to the Company. The Company also elected the practical expedient for lessors to combine the lease and non-lease components (primarily impacts common area maintenance reimbursements).
Contractual rent increases of renewal options are often fixed at the time of the initial lease agreement which may result in tenants being able to exercise their renewal options at amounts that are less than the fair value of the rent at the date of the renewal. In addition to fixed base rents, certain rental income derived from the Company's tenant leases is variable and may be dependent on percentage rent. Variable lease payments from percentage rents are earned by the Company in the event the tenant's gross sales exceed certain amounts. Terms of percentage rent are agreed upon in the tenant’s lease and will vary based on the tenant's sales. Variable lease payments consisted of percentage rent and tenant expense reimbursements of operating expenses, common area maintenance expenses, real estate taxes and insurance of the respective properties amounted to $
The Company recognizes lease termination fees, which are included in rental income on the consolidated statements of operations, in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Upon early lease terminations, the Company records gains (losses) related to unrecovered tenant-specific intangibles and other assets in impairment of real estate assets on the consolidated statements of operations, which was a $
Leasing Commissions: The Company earns leasing commissions as a result of providing strategic advice and connecting tenants to third-party property owners in the leasing of retail space. The Company records commission revenue on real estate leases at the point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, which is generally upon lease execution. Terms and conditions of a commission agreement may include, but are not limited to, execution of a signed lease agreement and future contingencies, including tenant’s occupancy, payment of a deposit or payment of first month’s rent (or a combination thereof). The Company’s performance obligation will typically be satisfied upon execution of a lease and the portion of the commission that is contingent on a future event will likely be recognized if deemed not subject to significant reversal, based on the Company’s estimates and judgments. The Company accounts for leasing commissions under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Property and Asset Management Fees: The Company provides real estate management services for owners of properties, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing is generally in the form of a monthly management fee based upon property-level cash receipts or some other variable metric.
When accounting for reimbursements of third-party expenses incurred on a client’s behalf, the Company determines whether it is acting as a principal or an agent in the arrangement. When the Company is acting as a principal, the Company’s revenue is reported on a gross basis and comprises the entire amount billed to the client and reported cost of services includes all expenses associated with the client. When the Company is acting as an agent, the Company’s fee is reported on a net basis as revenue for reimbursed amounts is netted against the related expenses. The control of the service before transfer to the customer is the focal point of the principal versus agent assessments. The Company is a principal if it controls the services before they are transferred to the client. The presentation of revenues and expenses pursuant to these arrangements under either a gross or net basis has no impact on net loss or cash flows. Property and asset management fees are included in Management and other income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for property and asset management fees under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Engineering Services: The Company provides engineering services to third-party property owners on an as needed basis at the properties where the Company is the property or asset manager. The Company receives consideration at agreed upon fixed rates for the time incurred plus a reimbursement for costs incurred and revenue is recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed. The Company accounts for performance obligations using the right to invoice practical expedient. The Company applies the right to invoice practical expedient to record revenue as the services are provided, given the nature of the services provided and the frequency of billing under the customer contract. Under this practical expedient, the Company recognizes revenue in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of performance completed to date and for which there is a right to invoice the customer. Engineering services fees are included in Management and other income on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for engineering services under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Capital Transactions: The Company provides brokerage and other services for capital transactions, such as real estate sales, real estate acquisitions or other financing. The Company’s performance obligation is to facilitate the execution of capital transactions, and the Company is generally entitled to the full consideration at the point in time upon which its performance obligation is satisfied, at which time the Company recognizes revenue. Capital transaction fees are included in management and other fee income on the consolidated statements of operations.
67
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets include amounts recognized as revenue for which the Company is not yet entitled to payment for reasons other than the passage of time, but that do not constrain revenue recognition. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did
Contract liabilities include advance payments related to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied and are included in deferred revenue on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the contract liability as revenue once it has transferred control of service to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria are met. There were
Accounts Receivable Under Contracts with Customers
The Company records accounts receivable for its unconditional rights to consideration arising from its performance under contracts with customers. Additionally, the Company records other receivables, included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets, which represents commission advances to employees. Further, the Company records receivables from affiliated properties. The carrying value of such receivables, net of the allowance for credit losses, represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts for specific accounts and other receivable balances based on historical collection trends, the age of the outstanding accounts and other receivables and existing economic conditions associated with the receivables. Past-due accounts receivable balances are written off to bad debt expense when the Company’s internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful or the advance has been forgiven. As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between its transfer of a promised service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less. The Company does not typically include extended payment terms in its contracts with customers. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $
Tenant and Other Receivables and Lease Inducements
Tenant receivables relate to the amounts currently owed to the Company under the terms of the Company’s lease agreements and is included in Tenant and accounts receivable, net of allowance on the consolidated balance sheets. Straight-line rent receivables relate to the difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and the amounts currently due to the Company according to the contractual agreement. Lease inducements result from value provided by the Company to the lessee, at the inception, modification or renewal of the lease, and are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the non-cancellable lease term. This is included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company assesses the probability of collecting substantially all payments under the Company’s leases based on several factors, including, among other things, payment history of the lessee, the financial strength of the lessee and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends and current and future economic conditions and expectations of performance. If the Company’s evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect substantially all rents, the Company recognizes a charge to rental income and recognizes income when cash is collected. If the Company changes its conclusion regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lessee, the Company may recognize an adjustment to rental income in the period the Company makes a change to its prior conclusion.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Real Estate
As part of the purchase price allocation process of acquisitions, management estimates the fair value of each component for asset acquisitions and business combinations by using judgments regarding market-based assumptions used in the estimated cash flow projections, including forecasts of future revenue and operating expense growth rates, market lease rates, comparable land values, lease-up periods, capitalization rates, discount rates and calculation and analysis of the income tax positions related to the purchase price allocation. The Company assesses the relative fair value of acquired assets and acquired liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations and allocates the purchase price based on these assessments. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market and economic conditions that may affect the property.
68
The Company records above-market and below-market lease values, if any, which are based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding acquired leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, or, for below-market acquired leases, including any bargain renewal option terms. The Company amortizes any resulting capitalized above-market lease values as a reduction of rental income over the lease term. The Company amortizes any resulting capitalized below-market lease values as an increase to rental income over the lease term. As of each of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had above-market leases with a gross value of approximately $
In-place lease intangibles are valued considering factors such as an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on evaluation of current market demand. The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to amortization expense over the initial term of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had in-place leases with a gross value of approximately $

Asset Impairment- Real Estate Properties
Real estate asset impairment losses are recorded when events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset is impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property are less than its carrying amount. Management assesses if there are triggering events including macroeconomic conditions, loss of an anchor tenant, changes in occupancy, and the ability to re-tenant the space, nature or real estate properties, significant and persistent delinquencies, operating and collections performance compared to historical data and government-mandated compliance with an adverse effect to the Company's cost basis or operating costs. If management concludes triggering events are present for any property, management then assesses the recoverability of the individual property’s carrying value. Management analyzes recoverability based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the operations and eventual disposition of the property. If the analysis indicates that the carrying value of a property is not recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of assets to be held and used. In determining the fair value, the Company uses current appraisals or other third-party opinions of value and other estimates of fair value such as estimated discounted future cash flows. The determination of future cash flows requires significant estimates by management. In management’s estimate of cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future sale of an asset, capitalization rates, holding periods and estimated net operating income. Subsequent changes in estimated cash flows could affect the determination of whether an impairment exists. During 2024 and 2023, the Company did
Real Estate Held For Sale
The Company records properties held for sale, and any associated mortgage payable, assets and other liabilities associated with such properties as real estate held for sale on the Company's consolidated balance sheets when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected to occur within one year. Properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, an impairment expense is recognized. The Company estimates fair value, less estimated costs to sell, based on similar real estate sales transactions or the property’s sale price if available. During 2023, the Company recorded $

The Company records income resulting from insurance recoveries for business interruption when proceeds are received or contingencies related to the insurance recoveries are resolved.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average common number of shares outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Any increase or decrease in the deferred tax liability that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes the Company to change its judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, is included in the tax provision when such change occurs. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided if the Company believes it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes the Company to change its judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset, is included in the tax provision when such changes occur.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The estimate of the Company’s tax liabilities relating to uncertain tax positions requires management to assess uncertainties and to make judgments about the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. Generally, for federal and state purposes, the Company's 2021 through 2024 tax years remain open for examination by tax authorities.
Deferred Costs
Costs incurred prior to the completion of offerings of stock or other capital instruments that directly relate to the offering are deferred and netted against proceeds received from the offering. Following the issuance, these offering costs are reclassified to the equity section of the balance sheet as a reduction of proceeds raised. Additionally, deferred costs include costs incurred prior to the completion of asset acquisitions which, upon completion of the acquisition, are allocated to the various components of the acquisition based upon the relative fair value of each component. The Company will also incur costs relating to any new financing. These costs are deferred and netted against the proceeds.
The Company incurs leasing commission costs relating to new leases. Leasing commission costs over $
Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of stock-based awards is calculated on the date of grant. Stock based compensation for restricted stock awards is measured based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for awards with performance conditions based on an estimate of shares expected to vest using the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. The Company amortizes the stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the period that the awards are expected to vest, net of any forfeitures. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur.
Fair Value Measurement and the Fair Value Option
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid in transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. In calculating fair value, a company must maximize the use of observable market inputs, minimize the use of unobservable market inputs and disclose in the form of an outlined hierarchy the details of such fair value measurements.
A hierarchy of valuation techniques is defined to determine whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while
70
unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
If quoted market prices or inputs are not available, fair value measurements are based upon valuation models that utilize current market or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, option volatilities, credit spreads and market capitalization rates. Items valued using such internally-generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As a result, the asset or liability could be classified in either Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Valuation techniques used by the Company include the use of third-party valuations and internal valuations, which may include discounted cash flow models. There were no acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company may choose to elect the fair value option for certain eligible financial instruments, such as the Fortress Mezzanine Loan (as defined below), in order to simplify the accounting treatment. Items for which the fair value option has been elected are presented at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and any change in fair value unrelated to credit risk is recorded in net gains (losses) on debt in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair value related to the Company’s specific credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Derivatives
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has chosen to manage this risk through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objective in managing exposure to interest risk is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows.
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the criteria of hedge accounting are recognized in earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $
Accounting Guidance
Adoption of Accounting Standards
In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard also requires additional disclosures related to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. Operating lease receivables are excluded from the scope of this guidance. The amended guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses model and enhances the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU also requires a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other significant segment items, as well as provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segments' profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, entities with a single reportable segment have to provide all of the disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The ASU is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods
71
beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in its consolidated financial statements, which includes the additional disclosures required for our single operating and reportable segment, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and retrospectively for the year ended December 31, 2023. See Note 19 for more information.
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Leases, as lessee
At the inception of a lease and over its term, the Company evaluates each lease to determine the proper lease classification. Certain of these leases provide the Company with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all of the space specified in the lease. Therefore, the Company has determined that they should be evaluated as lease arrangements. As of December 31, 2024, the

Company was obligated under operating lease agreements consisting primarily of the Company’s office leases and equipment leases. The majority of the Company’s office leases contain provisions for specified annual increases over the rents of the prior year and are computed based on a specified annual increase over the prior year’s rent, generally
In accordance with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, the Company recorded right-of-use assets (included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets) and related lease liabilities (included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets) for these leases.

In calculating the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities, the Company’s lease payments are typically discounted at its incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined in the absence of key inputs which are typically not reported by the Company’s lessors. Judgment was used to estimate the secured borrowing rate associated with the Company’s leases and reflects the lease term specific to each lease.
The Company remeasures its lease liabilities monthly at the present value of the future lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement. Rent expense relating to the operating leases, including straight-line rent, was approximately $
The Company’s future minimum lease payments for its operating leases recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Litigation
From time to time, the Company or its properties may be subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s lessees and borrowers have indemnified, and are obligated to continue to indemnify, the Company against all liabilities arising from the operations of the properties and are further obligated to indemnify it against environmental or title problems affecting the real estate underlying such facilities. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 10 - Fortress Preferred Equity Investment
The Company consolidates Broad Street Eagles JV LLC (the “Eagles Sub-OP”) under the guidance set forth in ASC 810 “Consolidation.” The Company evaluated whether the Eagles Sub-OP met the criteria for classification as a VIE or, alternatively, as a voting interest entity and concluded that that the Eagles Sub-OP met the criteria of a VIE. The Company is considered to have a controlling financial interest in the Eagles Sub-OP because the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary because it is most closely associated with the Eagles Sub-OP.
On November 22, 2022, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Eagles Sub-OP, entered into a Preferred Equity Investment Agreement with CF Flyer PE Investor LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, or its successor (the “Fortress Member”) pursuant to which the Fortress Member invested $
In connection with the Preferred Equity Investment, the Operating Partnership and the Fortress Member, the only holder of a preferred membership interest in the Eagles Sub-OP, entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Eagles Sub-OP (the “Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement”), and the Operating Partnership contributed to the Eagles Sub-OP its subsidiaries that, directly or indirectly, own Brookhill Azalea Shopping Center, Vista Shops, Hollinswood Shopping Center, Avondale Shops, Greenwood Village Shopping Center and Lamar Station Plaza East in November 2022, as well as Cromwell Field in December
79
2022. Pursuant to the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Operating Partnership had the obligation to contribute to the Eagles Sub-OP its direct and indirect subsidiaries owning eight additional properties. As of December 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership had contributed to the Eagles Sub-OP its subsidiaries that own Highlandtown, Crestview, Coral Hills, West Broad, Midtown Colonial and Midtown Lamonticello and, with the approval of the Fortress Member, sold Spotswood and Dekalb Plaza (collectively, the “Excluded Properties”).
Pursuant to the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Fortress Member is entitled to monthly distributions, a portion of which is paid in cash (the “Current Preferred Return”) and a portion that accrues on and is added to the Fortress Preferred Interest each month (the “Capitalized Preferred Return” and, together with the Current Preferred Return, the “Preferred Return”). The initial Preferred Return was
Upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, unless earlier redeemed, the Eagles Sub-OP must redeem the entire Fortress Preferred Interest by payment in cash to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount (as defined below), provided that (i) the Eagles Sub-OP may elect, in its discretion, not to redeem $
The Operating Partnership serves as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP. However, the Fortress Member has approval rights over certain Major Actions (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement), including, but not limited to (i) the adoption and approval of annual corporate and property budgets, (ii) the amendment, renewal, termination or modification of material contracts, leases over
In addition, the Company is required to maintain separate bank accounts for tenant improvement costs and leasing costs as well as the net proceeds from the Spotswood and Dekalb dispositions. Prior written consent of the Fortress Member is required for the disbursement and use of cash held in such accounts, which had a combined balance of $
Under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, “Trigger Events” include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal acts or intentional misappropriation of funds with respect to a property owned by the Company
80
or any of its subsidiaries; (ii) a bankruptcy event with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except for an involuntary bankruptcy that is dismissed within 90 days of commencement; (iii) a material breach of certain provisions of the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (iv) monetary defaults or material non-monetary defaults under the Fortress Mezzanine Loan or the mortgage loans secured by properties owned directly or indirectly by the Eagles Sub-OP (including the Excluded Properties); (v) failure to meet the minimum Total Yield requirements under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (vi) failure to pay the Current Preferred Return (subject to a limited cure period) or failure to make distributions as required by the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement; (vii) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement); (viii) Mr. Jacoby (A) ceasing to be employed as the chief executive officer of the Company, (B) not being actively involved in the management of the Company or (C) failing to hold an aggregate of at least
On May 21, 2024, the Company agreed with the Fortress Member that, after revision of the total yield calculation as of March 31, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum total yield requirement under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement, which would have been a Trigger Event. Effective May 21, 2024, the Fortress Member and the Operating Partnership entered into a temporary waiver agreement to waive the total yield failure and the existence of the Trigger Event until such time as the Fortress Member elects to revoke such waiver. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Fortress Member has the right to cause the Eagles Sub-OP to redeem the Fortress Preferred Interest by payment to the Fortress Member of the full Redemption Amount upon not less than 90 days prior written notice to the Eagles Sub-OP. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event the Fortress Member would have the right (among other rights) to (i) remove the Operating Partnership as the managing member of the Eagles Sub-OP and to serve as the managing member until the Fortress Member is paid the Redemption Amount, (ii) cause the Eagles Sub-OP to sell one or more properties until the entire Fortress Preferred Interest has been redeemed for the Redemption Amount, (iii) cause the Eagles Sub-OP to use certain reserve accounts to pay the Fortress Member the full Redemption Amount, and (iv) terminate all property management and other service agreements with affiliates of the Company. Further, the mezzanine loan agreement for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan provides for cross-default in the event of a Trigger Event.
The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Eagles Sub-OP are guaranteed by the Company. In addition, Messrs. Jacoby and Yockey guaranteed the full payment of the Redemption Amount in the event of a bankruptcy event of the Company or its subsidiaries without the consent of the Fortress Member or certain other events that interfere with the rights of the Fortress Member under certain other agreements related to the Preferred Equity Investment.
The Fortress Member’s interest in the Eagles Sub-OP under the Eagles Sub-OP Operating Agreement is a financial instrument with both equity and debt characteristics and is classified as mezzanine equity in these consolidated financial statements. The instrument was initially recognized at fair value net of issuance costs. As discussed above, the Fortress Preferred Interest is redeemable at a determinable date (at year five (5), prior to year five if a Qualified Public Offering occurs or at any time so long as the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is repaid in full before or concurrently with such redemption) and therefore, at each subsequent reporting period we will accrete the carrying value to the amount due upon redemption of the Fortress Preferred Interest based on the effective interest method over the remaining term. All financial instruments that are classified as mezzanine equity are evaluated for embedded derivative features by evaluating each feature against the nature of the host instrument (e.g. more equity-like or debt-like). Features identified as embedded derivatives that are material are recognized separately as a derivative asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated the Fortress Preferred Interest and determined that its nature is that of a debt host and certain embedded derivatives exist that would require bifurcation on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $

Restricted Stock
Awards of restricted stock are awards of the Company’s common stock that are subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as established by the Company’s compensation committee on the date of grant that are generally subject to forfeiture if employment (or service as a director) terminates prior to vesting. Upon vesting, all restrictions would lapse. Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement, a participant awarded restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder as to those shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends on the shares. The value of the awards is determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock ratably over the vesting period.

Note 14 – Employee Benefit Plan
Note 15 – Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, convertible preferred stock, restricted stock, warrants, RSUs and OP units, which, subject to certain terms and conditions, may be tendered for redemption by the holder thereof for cash based on the market price of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option and sole discretion, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a

Note 16 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company uses fair value measures to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurements associated with assets and liabilities are categorized into one of the following levels of the hierarchy based upon how observable the valuation inputs are that are used in the fair value measurements.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis currently include derivative financial instruments and the Fortress Mezzanine Loan.

The derivative financial instruments are valued in the market using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation model for interest rate caps and interest rate swaps are observable in active markets and are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. See Note 8 “—Interest Rate Cap and Interest Rate Swap Agreements” for further discussion regarding the Company’s interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements.
The Preferred Equity Investment contains embedded features that are required to be bifurcated from the temporary equity-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was valued using a binomial lattice-based model which takes into account variables such as estimated volatility, expected holding period, stock price, the exit fee and the risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is the five-year treasury rate at the valuation date. This technique incorporates Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.
The Company elected to measure the Fortress Mezzanine Loan at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. The Fortress Mezzanine Loan is a debt host financial instrument containing embedded features which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair value option election for the Fortress Mezzanine Loan is due to the number and complexity of features that would require separate bifurcation absent this election. At December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan was valued using discounted cash flow techniques. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Fortress Mezzanine Loan was valued using a binomial lattice-based model which takes into account variables such as estimated volatility, expected holding period, stock price, the exit fee and the risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is the five-year treasury rate at the valuation date. These techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and payables are reasonable estimates of their fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to the short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s indebtedness was comprised of borrowings that bear interest at variable and fixed rates. The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under variable rates as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 approximate their carrying values as the debt is at variable rates currently available and resets on a monthly basis.
The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using current market rates for similar loans that would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level described above.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this assessment, management determined that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
