In March 2026 the Board determined to suspend quarterly cash dividends in order to redeploy capital into leasing efforts intended to enhance portfolio value; the Company paid $1.0 million of distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Credit Agreement also restricts dividend declarations to no more than the greater of $0.01 per share or the amount required to maintain REIT status.
