On December 31, 2012, as part of the Salisbury land acquisition, PW Salisbury Solar, LLC (“PWSS”) assumed existing municipal financing (“Municipal Debt”). The Municipal Debt has approximately 9 years remaining. The Municipal Debt had a simple interest rate of 5.0% that was paid annually, due on February 1 of each year. The balance of the Municipal Debt as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0. On January 30, 2024, the PWSS property was sold and the loan was paid off.

 

In July 2013, PWSS borrowed $750,000 from a regional bank (the “PWSS Term Loan”). The PWSS Term Loan carries a fixed interest rate of 5.0% for a term of 10 years and amortizes based on a 20-year principal amortization schedule. The PWSS Term Loan matured on August 1, 2023 and the bank agreed to provide a 6-month extension of the maturity. The loan was secured by PWSS’ real estate assets and a parent guarantee from the Trust. The balance of the PWSS Term Loan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0. On January 30, 2024, the PWSS property was sold and the loan was paid off.

 

On November 6, 2015, PWRS entered into a loan agreement (the “2015 PWRS Loan Agreement”) with a lender for $10,150,000 (the “2015 PWRS Loan”). The 2015 PWRS Loan is secured by land and intangibles owned by PWRS. PWRS issued a note to the benefit of the lender dated November 6, 2015 with a maturity date of October 14, 2034 and a 4.34% interest rate. The 2015 PWRS Loan is non-recourse to Power REIT. The balance of the PWRS Bonds as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $5,998,000 (net of approximately $190,000 of capitalized debt costs) and approximately $6,492,000 (net of approximately $213,000 of capitalized debt costs), respectively.

 

On November 25, 2019, Power REIT, through a newly formed subsidiary, PW PWV Holdings LLC (“PW PWV”), entered into a loan agreement (the “PW PWV Loan Agreement”) with a certain lender for $15,500,000 (the “PW PWV Loan”). The PW PWV Loan is secured by pledge of PW PWV’s equity interest in P&WV, its interest in the Railroad Lease and a security interest in a deposit account (the “Deposit Account”) pursuant to a Deposit Account Control Agreement dated November 25, 2019 into which the P&WV rental proceeds are deposited. Pursuant to the Deposit Account Control Agreement, P&WV has instructed its bank to transfer all monies deposited in the Deposit Account to the escrow agent as a dividend/distribution payment pursuant to the terms of the PW PWV Loan Agreement. The PW PWV Loan is evidenced by a note issued by PW PWV to the benefit of the lender for $15,500,000, with a fixed interest rate of 4.62% and fully amortizes over the life of the financing which matures in 2054 (35 years). The PW PWV Loan is non-recourse to Power REIT. The balance of the loan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $13,974,000 (net of approximately $258,000 of capitalized debt costs) and approximately $14,198,000 (net of approximately $267,000 of capitalized debt costs), respectively.

 

As previously disclosed, a subsidiary of the Trust had a loan secured by most of the greenhouse properties which was non-recourse to the Trust and in default and the lender had initiated litigation including foreclosure actions. On April 11, 2025, Power REIT resolved issues with its lender concerning the Greenhouse Loan by providing deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure for greenhouse properties in Michigan and Nebraska. In return, the lender released the remaining collateral back to subsidiaries of Power REIT and released obligations related to the Greenhouse Loan. Power REIT will seek to realize value from the retained assets by leasing and/or selling. The transaction related to the Greenhouse Loan resulted in the write-off of the Nebraska and Michigan properties, along with the remaining balance of the Greenhouse Loan. It will also relieve the ongoing costs associated with maintaining the Nebraska and Michigan properties. The balance of the Greenhouse Loan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $0 and $16,720,000 (approximately $13.3 million of principal, $2.1 million of interest and default interest and $1.3 million of loan expenses). During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Trust recognized approximately $554,000 and $850,000, respectively, of late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees which is included in interest expense in Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the settlement, during 2025, the Trust borrowed approximately $460,000 and made repayments of approximately $215,000 under the Greenhouse Loan. As a result of settling the Greenhouse Loan obligations through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for the Nebraska and Michigan properties, the Trust recognized a non-cash gain of approximately $1,093,000. This gain arose from the write-off of both the properties with a combined book value of approximately $17,083,000 and the associated loan obligations which totaled approximately $17,997,000, including accrued interest, default interest, and loan modification expenses (late charges, forbearance fees, legal fees, foreclosure fees and appraisal fees) and the write-off of accrued property tax of approximately $179,000.
