Sale of Beneficial Interests in XXV DST 1

On June 22, 2026, CWS BET Seattle, L.P. (“CWS BET”), a Delaware limited partnership controlled and owned by Francis P. Kavanaugh, the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, acquired 49% of the beneficial interests in XXV DST 1 for $4,207,258.  The purchase price was determined based on the terms of the private placement memorandum used for the sale of beneficial interests in the XXV DST 1.  Under the Private Placement Memorandum for the offering of the beneficial interests, the Company is permitted to accept purchases of beneficial interests net of sales commissions under certain circumstances.  Because the CWS BET transaction was sourced directly by the Company, CWS BET did not pay a sales commission on its purchase of beneficial interests.  The net proceeds to the Company were the same as the Compnay would have received from a non-affiliated purchaser of beneficial interests, net of sales commissions.  CWS BET participates in the economics of XXV DST 1 on the same terms and conditions as non-affiliated investors.
