Recent Real Estate Monetizations

In order to support our liquidity, we have monetized certain of our real estate holdings. Details of those monetizations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, are provided below.

Wellington, New Zealand property assets

On January 31, 2025, we sold our property assets in Wellington, New Zealand, including Courtenay Central, Tory Street car park and Wakefield Street car park, at a gross sale price of $21.5 million (NZ$38.0 million) The proceeds were used to pay off the Westpac mortgage on the property, and to reduce our Bank of America debt. We have an Agreement to Lease the cinema portion from the Purchaser, which is expected to commence upon the completion of seismic upgrade work by the Landlord and cinema fit-out work by ourselves.

The gain on sale of this property was calculated as follows:

Disposal Groups Held for Sale

Cinemas 1,2,3, Manhattan

In February 2026 we classified our Cinemas 1,2,3 property as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. No adjustments to the book value, as opposed to fair value, of $24.0 million of the assets contained within the disposal group were required, which consists of the Cinemas 1,2,3 building and related improvements. We expect to complete the monetization of this property within 12 months.

Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania

In June 2023, we classified our industrial property at Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. The property is part of our historic railroad operations, consisting of land and an industrial building, and certain rail bed improvements. No adjustments to the book value of the assets contained within this disposal group were required. Sales efforts continue, and the property continues to meet the ASC 360 held for sale criteria.

Real Estate Acquisitions

Sutton Hill Associates

On December 19, 2025, we purchased Sutton Hill Associates, a California general partnership. As a consequence of that transaction (i) we took on $13.6 million in long term debt owed by Sutton Hill Associates to a third party, and (ii) short term payables in the amount

of $7.1 million owed by our Company to certain Sutton Hill Associates subsidiaries were eliminated on consolidation. The long term debt was recorded on our balance sheet at a fair value of $7.6 million, reflecting the fact that the debt has a term maturing on September 30, 2035, with no interim payments of principal, is unsecured and bears interest at only 4.75% per annum payable quarterly in arrears.
