IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR SHAREHOLDERS

– Silver Star REIT Postpones Shareholder Meeting –

– Vote EARLY the WHITE Proxy Card, Phone Options Available –

To Silver Star Shareholders,

We are writing to inform you that the previously scheduled shareholder meeting will be postponed until

October 6, 2025; the Record Date is August 21, 2025.

The Board made this decision for one reason: so that you have full and accurate information before casting your vote. Unfortunately, Allen Hartman, once again, is creating chaos – just as he did when he was in charge of your Company.

Hartman’s Track Record Speaks for Itself:

Chaos and Broken Promises: Nothing he ever said panned out. He left retiring employees holding the bag, left the bank loan in default, and never once convened a shareholder meeting to give you a voice.
Self-Dealing and Mismanagement: He used Silver Star’s assets and money to chase another scheme, repeatedly engaging in self-dealing, misleading communications, and mismanagement – always pointing the finger at someone else. He caused the Company to pay an employee for silence related to his despicable indecent exposure. And he paid himself a dividend when he stopped yours.
False Narratives: Now he continues with the same tactics, pushing the false claim of a $300MM loss of NAV (completely untrue), accusing the Company of violating SEC rules, and demanding access to records while refusing to take his grievances to court where they belong and where previously presented. Creditors have used his misrepresentations and deceit in connection with taking aggressive actions against Silver Star, which exemplifies what will happen if there is a vote for liquidation. That is the reason a liquidation will provide little or nothing.

The Real Consequences of His Lies:

Hartman’s behavior isn’t harmless noise – it disrupts the day-to-day business of Silver Star and distracts management from executing on our growth strategy. This is exactly what your Board has been warning about: if Hartman prevails, the same chaos, mismanagement, and self-dealing that defined his tenure will come roaring back. Unfortunately, he doesn’t care about the shareholders. Sadly, it won’t be Hartman who pays the price for his reckless actions, it will be you, the shareholders. Hartman is worried about one thing and only one thing – the allegations in the law suit against him and his related entities. He worries that he will be ruined when the truth is told. He is right to worry.

Your Board’s Focus: Stability, Growth, and Protecting Your Investment

Unlike Hartman, we are doing the hard work of turning this company around:
Driving stability through loan refinancing.
Actively marketing legacy assets for sale.
Growing our profitable self-storage platform.
Completing audited financials with a dedicated accounting team, and considering interim unaudited reports in compliance with Maryland law and SEC rules.

The Poison Pill: Protecting Shareholder Voices

Hartman’s attacks on the shareholder rights plan (“Poison Pill”) are yet another distortion. The plan was triggered to protect your voice – to prevent one shareholder from seizing disproportionate influence. The rights exchange modestly increased the voting power of ordinary shareholders while reducing only Hartman’s outsized control.

Meanwhile, your Board continues to pursue counterclaims against Hartman for his self-dealing and fiduciary breaches. He has refused to defend himself, just as he refused accountability when he was at Silver Star. We are determined to get him under oath with his hand on the Bible so that you, the shareholders, have the complete truth before the shareholder meeting. Like us, you should ask, what does he have to hide? Make him answer. He has 35 million reasons not to answer. That’s what we think your lawsuit against him is worth $35,000,000.

The Legal Fight: Hartman Running from Accountability

Hartman thrives on creating chaos – but chaos is not a strategy. Silver Star has turned the corner, and under this Board and management team, the Company is focused on stability, accountability, and protecting your investment.
