7.INVESTMENT IN DATACOM JV

StratCap Wireless Datacom Ventures, LLC (the “Datacom JV”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 8, 2022 with its primary purpose is to invest in and manage certain fiber and wireless real estate assets. The Datacom JV was entered into by SWIF II Ventures I, LLC (the “SWIF Managing Member”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and DataCom, LP. (“DataCom Limited Partner,” collectively, “Datacom Members”). The Company accounts for its 51% ownership interest in the Datacom JV as an equity method investment as the Datacom JV is under the shared control of the two joint venture partners. The Company does not consolidate the Datacom JV as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Datacom JV’s economic performance. The Company considered acquisition, disposition, major operating and capital raising and allocation decisions as activities that primarily impact the economic results of the Datacom JV.

As of June 30, 2026, the Datacom Members do not have any outstanding or unfunded capital commitments. Except for allocated fees and certain fee contributions as summarized below, SWIF Managing Member may request additional capital based on their respective membership interests to fund new investments as well as to fund working capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, DataCom Limited Partner contributed capital amounting to $2,049,081 to fund the asset management fees, management fees, acquisition fees, leasing commissions and loan coordination fees as summarized below.

Distributions of available cash are distributed to the Datacom Members based on their respective membership interests until certain internal rate of return (“IRR”) thresholds are met. As the rate of return thresholds are achieved, the allocation of distributions is modified as further described in the Agreement.
