Management Fee and Performance Participation Allocation

Prior to May 2024, the Advisor was entitled to an annual management fee equal to (i) 1.25% of the Company’s NAV per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the management fee, the stockholder servicing fee, the performance participation interest or any distributions, plus (ii) 1.25% per annum of the aggregate DST Property consideration for all DST Properties subject to the fair market value option held by the Operating Partnership. For avoidance of doubt, the Advisor does not receive a duplicative management fee with respect to any DST Property. Additionally, to the extent the Operating Partnership issues Operating Partnership units to parties other than the Company, the Operating Partnership will pay the Advisor an annual management fee equal to 1.25% of the Operating Partnership’s NAV attributable to such Operating Partnership units not held by the Company, payable monthly. The management fee can be paid, at the Advisor’s election, in cash, shares of common stock, or Operating Partnership units.

In connection with the share repurchase plan amendment, the Advisor has agreed, commencing with the month of May 2024, to waive 20% of its management fee, thereby reducing it from 1.25% of NAV to 1% of NAV, until the Company’s share repurchase plan has been reinstated to the monthly repurchase limit of 2% of NAV (measured using the aggregate NAV attributable to stockholders as of the end of the immediately preceding month) and quarterly repurchase limit of 5% of NAV (measured using the aggregate NAV attributable to stockholders as of the end of the immediately preceding quarter).

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred management fees of approximately $20.4 million and approximately $22.8 million, respectively.

To date, the Advisor has elected to receive the management fee in shares of the Company’s common stock. During January 2026, the Company issued 346,519 unregistered Class I shares to the Advisor as payment for the $6.9 million management fee accrued as of December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 690,530 unregistered Class I shares to the Advisor as payment for the management fee incurred through February 2026 and also had a payable of approximately $6.8 million related to the management fee as of March 31, 2026, which is included in Due to affiliates on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2026, the Company issued 343,930 unregistered Class I shares to the Advisor as payment for the $6.8 million management fee accrued as of March 31, 2026. The shares issued to the Advisor for payment of the management fee were issued at the applicable NAV per share at the end of each month for which the fee was earned.

Additionally, the Special Limited Partner, an affiliate of the Advisor, holds a performance participation interest in the Operating Partnership that entitles it to receive an allocation of the Operating Partnership’s total return to its capital account. Total return is defined as distributions paid or accrued plus the change in NAV. Under the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement, the annual total return will be allocated solely to the Special Limited Partner after the other unit holders have received a total return of 5% (after recouping any loss carryforward amount) and such allocation will continue until the allocation between the Special Limited Partner and all other unit holders is equal to 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. Thereafter, the Special Limited Partner will receive an allocation of 12.5% of the annual total return. The annual distribution of the performance participation interest will be paid in cash or Class I units of the Operating Partnership, at the election of the Special Limited Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not recognize a performance participation allocation as the return hurdles were not achieved.
