Related Party Transactions

 

The Company has entered into various leasing arrangements with a not-for-profit organization of which the Company’s former Chairman, Paul Lamb, serves as Chairman and a director but receives no compensation or any other financial benefit.

 

In March 2022, a Consolidated Lease Agreement was signed between the Company and the not-for-profit organization that extended the lease to December 2027. It also changed some terms of the original leases including rent on the master lease suite, 3% escalators and agreements on work to be done by the Company and the tenant. The signed Consolidated Lease Agreement reflects a below market lease of $8,829 annually and $44,144 during the extended period. A summary of the additional rent under the new arrangement is as follows:

 

Term

 

Square Feet

   

Annual Rent

   

Total Commitment (excluding renewal options)

 

April 2022-Dec 2027

    6,006     $ 51,051     $ 317,455  

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company received rental revenue of $55,784 and $54,160, respectively.

 

The independent members of the Board of the Company approved all of the leasing transaction described above.

 

The former Chairman was also a partner of the firm LambZankel, LLP that provided pro bono legal representation to the aforementioned not-for-profit corporation on the lease.

 

Following the annual meeting on November 5, 2025, Paul Lamb is longer a director and thus is longer deemed a “related person” (see Note 15 – Governance).
