FSP Franklin Street Properties Corp /Ma/ - 10-K

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following material factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time-to-time.

Risks Related to our Operations and Properties

The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. This impact could be materially adverse to the extent that the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or future pandemics, cause tenants to be unable to pay their rent or reduce the demand for commercial real estate, or cause other impacts described below.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our properties and operating results and continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the performance of our properties and our financial results. Uncertainty still surrounds the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the commercial real estate market and our business. Many of our tenants still do not fully occupy the space that they lease. Any ongoing negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect us and/or our tenants due to, among other factors: the potential negative impact to the businesses of our tenants, the impact of work-from-home and return-to-work policies, the potential negative impact to leasing efforts and occupancy at our properties, the occurrence of a default under any of our debt agreements, the potential for increased borrowing costs, negative impacts on our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or to secure new sources of capital on favorable terms, decreases in values of our real estate assets, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy.

Table of Contents

Some of our existing tenants and potential tenants operate in businesses and industries that continue to be adversely affected by continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These effects could lead to increased rent delinquencies and/or defaults under leases, a lower demand for rentable space leading to increased concessions or lower occupancy, increased tenant improvement capital expenditures, or reduced rental rates to maintain occupancies. For example, on December 21, 2020, the parent company of a tenant that leased approximately 130,000 square feet filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, resulting in a writeoff charge of $3.1 million. Our operations could be materially negatively affected as a result, which could adversely affect our operating results, our ability to pay dividends, our ability to repay or refinance our existing indebtedness, and the price of our common stock.

Economic conditions in the United States could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition.

The global economy continues to experience significant disruptions and uncertainty as a result of various factors, including changes in U.S. trade or other policies or those policies of other nations, geopolitical events such as the wars and conflicts in Iran and other countries in the Middle East and Ukraine, increasing tensions with China and Venezuela, tensions between the U.S. and Europe related to the sovereignty of Greenland, major political shifts domestically or internationally and continuing supply chain difficulties. Because economic conditions directly affect the demand for office space, our primary income producing asset, broad economic market conditions in the United States, including uncertainty over interest rates, inflation, tariffs, slower growth, stock market volatility or recession fears, could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and financial condition. Economic conditions may be affected by numerous other factors, including but not limited to, inflation and employment levels, energy prices, uncertainty about government fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, changes in currency exchange rates, the regulatory environment and the availability of credit. Future economic factors also may negatively affect the demand for office space, real estate values, occupancy levels and property income.

If we are not able to collect sufficient rents from each of our owned real properties, we may suffer significant operating losses.

A substantial portion of our revenue is generated by the rental income of our real properties.  If our properties do not provide us with a steady rental income, our revenues will decrease, which may cause us to incur operating losses in the future.

We may not be able to dispose of properties on acceptable terms or within the time periods we anticipate pursuant to our disposition strategy.

We have adopted a strategy seeking to increase shareholder value by pursuing the sale of select properties where we believe that short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached and striving to lease vacant space. As we execute this strategy, our revenue, Funds From Operations, and capital expenditures may decrease in the short term. Under the Credit Agreement, certain proceeds from dispositions are required to be used for the repayment of debt. We may not be able to dispose of properties at acceptable prices or otherwise on anticipated terms and conditions within the time periods contemplated by our disposition strategy, which would adversely affect our ability to use the proceeds as intended and impair our financial flexibility.

We are dependent on key personnel and if our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors ceases to serve in such position, we may be obligated to pay all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement.

We depend on the efforts of George J. Carter, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors; Jeffrey B. Carter, our President and Chief Investment Officer; Scott H. Carter, our General Counsel, Secretary and an Executive Vice President; John G. Demeritt, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and an Executive Vice President; John F. Donahue, our President of FSP Property Management LLC and an Executive Vice President; and Eriel

Table of Contents

Anchondo, our Chief Operating Officer and an Executive Vice President. If any of our executive officers were to resign, our operations could be adversely affected. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers.

The Credit Agreement provides that if George J. Carter ceases to serve in the position of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors or devote substantially all of his business time and attention to FSP Corp., whether as a result of resignation, death, disability or otherwise, and we do not use commercially reasonable efforts to find a permanent replacement to replace Mr. Carter that is reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) following such cessation, such event will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement and would entitle the lenders to terminate their lending commitments, and to accelerate all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement. Whether Mr. Carter remains our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors is not entirely under our control. Although we intend to find an appropriate replacement satisfactory to the Required Lenders if Mr. Carter leaves his current position, there is no assurance that we will be able to find a replacement acceptable to the Required Lenders. If there is an event of default under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to repay all outstanding obligations or be able to find alternative financing, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks from tenant defaults or bankruptcies.

If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders. For example, in December 2020, the parent company of a tenant that leased approximately 130,000 square feet filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, resulting in a write-off charge of $3.1 million.

New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.

We may fund acquisitions of new properties, if any, with cash, by assuming existing indebtedness, by entering into new indebtedness, by issuing debt securities, by issuing shares of our stock or by other means. Our acquisition activities are subject to the following risks:

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

the actual costs of repositioning, redeveloping or maintaining acquired properties may be greater than our estimates; and

we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions into our existing operations, and this could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks in owning, developing, redeveloping and operating real property.

An investment in us is subject to the risks incidental to the ownership, development, redevelopment and operation of real estate-related assets. These risks include the fact that real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions, as well as the risks normally associated with:

changes in general and local economic conditions;

the supply or demand for particular types of properties in particular markets;

changes in market rental rates;

the impact of environmental protection laws;

changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws; and

the impact of obligations and restrictions contained in title-related documents.

Certain significant costs, such as real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property’s rental income is reduced. In addition, environmental and tax laws, interest rate levels,

Table of Contents

the availability of financing and other factors may affect real estate values and property income. Furthermore, the supply of commercial space fluctuates with market conditions.

We may encounter significant delays in reletting vacant space, resulting in losses of income.

When leases expire, we may incur expenses and may not be able to re-lease the space on the same terms. While we cannot predict when existing vacant space in properties will be leased, if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which in some cases may be below the expiring rates. Certain leases provide tenants the right to terminate early if they pay a fee. If we are unable to re-lease space promptly, if the terms are significantly less favorable than anticipated or if the costs are higher, we may have to reduce distributions to our stockholders. Typical lease terms range from five to ten years, so up to approximately 20% of our rental revenue from commercial properties could be expected to expire each year.

We face risks of tenant-type concentration.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 25% and 10% of our tenants as a percentage of the total rentable square feet operated in the energy services industry and the professional services industry, respectively. An economic downturn in these or any industry in which a high concentration of our tenants operate or in which a significant number of our tenants currently or may in the future operate, could negatively impact the financial condition of such tenants and cause them to fail to make timely rental payments or default on lease obligations, fail to renew their leases or renew their leases on terms less favorable to us, become bankrupt or insolvent, or otherwise become unable to satisfy their obligations to us, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks from geographic concentration.

The properties in our portfolio as of December  31, 2025, by aggregate square footage, are distributed geographically as follows: West — 44.5%, South — 39.7% and Midwest — 15.8%. However, within certain of those regions, we hold a larger concentration of our properties in Denver, Colorado — 44.5%, Houston, Texas — 24.8%, Minneapolis, Minnesota — 15.8%, and Dallas, Texas — 14.9%. We are likely to face risks to the extent that any of these areas in which we hold a larger concentration of our properties suffer deteriorating economic conditions. As the Dallas, Denver and Houston metropolitan areas have a significant presence in the energy sector, a prolonged period of low oil or natural gas prices, or other factors negatively impacting the energy industry, could have an adverse impact on our ability to maintain the occupancy of our properties in those areas or could cause us to lease space at rates below current in-place rents, or at rates below the rates we have leased space in those areas in the prior year. In addition, factors negatively impacting the energy industry could reduce the market values of our properties in those areas, which could reduce our net asset value and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, or cause a decline in the value of our common stock.

We compete with national, regional and local real estate operators and developers, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Competition exists in every market in which our properties are currently located and in every market in which properties we may acquire in the future will be located. We compete with, among others, national, regional and numerous local real estate operators and developers. Such competition may adversely affect the percentage of leased space and the rental revenues of our properties, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our stockholders. Some of our competitors may have more resources than we do or other competitive advantages. Competition may be accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate. For example, decreases in interest rates tend to increase the availability of funds and therefore can increase competition. To the extent that our properties continue to operate profitably, this will likely stimulate new development of competing properties. The extent to which we are affected by competition will depend in significant part on both local market conditions and national and global economic conditions.

Table of Contents

We face possible risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.

The physical effects of climate change could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. For example, climate change could increase utility and other costs of operating our properties, including increased costs for energy, water, insurance, regulatory compliance and other supply chain materials, which if not offset by rising rental income and/or paid by tenants, could have a material adverse effect on our properties, operations and business. We are also subject to climate change induced severe storm hazards, which to the extent not covered by insurance, could result in significant capital expenditures. Over time, the physical effects of climate change could result in declining demand for office space in our buildings or our inability to operate the buildings at all.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data concerning tenants and vendors. Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information technology systems and the data maintained in those systems, such systems and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers, computer viruses or ransomware, or breaches due to employee error, malfeasance, impersonation of authorized users or other disruptions. Any such breach or attack could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and continuously become more sophisticated, often are not recognized until launched against a target and may be difficult to detect for a long time, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive or detective measures. Any unauthorized access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in significant financial exposure, including significant costs to remediate possible injury to the affected parties. We may also be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties if we are found to be in violation of the privacy or security rules under laws protecting confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper functionality and security of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Actual or threatened terrorist attacks may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties.

We have significant investments in markets that may be the targets of actual or threatened terrorism attacks in the future. As a result, some tenants in these markets may choose to relocate their businesses to other markets or to lower-profile office buildings within these markets that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity. This could result in an overall decrease in the demand for office space in these markets generally or in our properties in particular, which could increase vacancies in our properties or necessitate that we lease our properties on less favorable terms or both. In addition, future terrorist attacks in these markets could directly or indirectly damage our properties, both physically and financially, or cause losses that materially exceed our insurance coverage. As a result of the foregoing, our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties could decline materially. See also “ We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs. ”

We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs.

We carry, or our tenants carry, comprehensive liability, fire and extended coverage with respect to each of our properties, with policy specification and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured material loss occur, we could lose both capital invested in the property and anticipated profits.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness

Failure to comply with covenants in the Credit Agreement could adversely affect our financial condition.

On February 26, 2026, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, which provides for a secured credit facility for aggregate principal commitments of up to $320 million, consisting of (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $275 million, and (ii) delayed draw term loans available upon the approval of the lenders party thereto in an aggregate principal amount of up to $45 million.  The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation and subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, dispositions of assets (including real property), capital expenditures, changes in business, certain restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, sale leaseback transactions, prepayments of other debt, corporate operating expenses and severance and retention payments.  The Credit Agreement also contains minimum tangible net worth and minimum liquidity financial covenants.

Failure to comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement would entitle the lenders to terminate their lending commitments, and to accelerate all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms. A default under the Credit Agreement could result in difficulty financing growth in our business. A default under the Credit Agreement could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

We are subject to risks from changes in trade policies and tariffs

Changes in the financial condition of our tenants or prospective tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect important supply chains and international trade, the termination or threatened termination of existing international trade agreements, or the implementation of tariffs or retaliatory tariffs on imported or exported goods could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our tenants or prospective tenants. The uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of any changes in trade policies or tariffs could also impact tenants or prospective tenants as they continue to determine changes needed to their businesses. Such changes in trade policy or the imposition of tariffs could accordingly adversely affect our ability to lease our properties which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to possible liability relating to environmental matters, and we cannot assure you that we have identified all possible liabilities.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we, as an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in our property. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such property or to borrow using such property as collateral, and it may cause the owner of the property to incur substantial remediation costs. In addition to claims for cleanup costs, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in the owner incurring substantial liabilities as a result of a claim by a private party for personal injury or a claim by an adjacent property owner for property damage.

In addition, we cannot assure you that:

future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability;

the current environmental conditions of our properties will not be affected by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such properties (such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to us;

tenants will not violate their leases by introducing hazardous or toxic substances into our properties that could expose us to liability under federal or state environmental laws; or

Table of Contents

environmental conditions, such as the growth of bacteria and toxic mold in heating and ventilation systems or on walls, will not occur at our properties and pose a threat to human health.

We are subject to compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire and safety regulations, any of which could require us to make significant capital expenditures.

All of our properties are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, or ADA, and the regulations, rules  and orders that may be issued thereunder. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. Compliance with ADA requirements might require, among other things, removal of access barriers. Noncompliance with such requirements could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants.

In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. Compliance with such requirements may require us to make substantial capital expenditures, which expenditures would reduce cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders.

We face risks associated with our tenants being designated “Prohibited Persons” by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and other laws, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury, or OFAC, maintains a list of persons designated as terrorists or who are otherwise blocked or banned, which we refer to as Prohibited Persons. OFAC regulations and other laws prohibit conducting business or engaging in transactions with Prohibited Persons, or collectively, the “OFAC Requirements”. Our current leases and certain other agreements require the other party to comply with the OFAC Requirements. If a tenant or other party with whom we contract is placed on the OFAC list, we may be required by the OFAC Requirements to terminate the lease or other agreement. Any such termination could result in a loss of revenue or a damage claim by the other party that the termination was wrongful.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

We have suspended quarterly dividends and may not resume paying dividends on our common stock, and may not elect to resume paying dividends in the foreseeable future or at all.

In March 2026, our Board of Directors determined to suspend quarterly cash dividends to reduce operating expenses and to redeploy that capital into leasing efforts intended to enhance the value of our portfolio. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that we may not declare dividends in excess of the greater of $0.01 per share or such amount as is required to maintain our status as a REIT. Any future declaration and payment of dividends will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. There can be no assurance that we will resume paying dividends in the foreseeable future or at all, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The real properties held by us may significantly decrease in value.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned 14 properties. Some or all of these properties may decline in value. To the extent our real properties decline in value, our stockholders could lose some or all of the value of their investments. The value of our common stock may be adversely affected if the real properties held by us decline in value since these real properties represent the majority of the tangible assets held by us. Moreover, if we are forced to sell or lease the real property held by us below its initial purchase price or its carrying costs, respectively, or if we are forced to lease real property at below market rates because of the condition of the property or general economic or local market conditions, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to current stockholders.

The interests of our existing stockholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future acquisitions, repay indebtedness or to fund other general corporate purposes. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing.

The price of our common stock may vary.

The market prices for our common stock may fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions, including the market perception of real estate investment trusts, or REITs, in general, and changes in our financial condition and results of operations. Such fluctuations may depress the market price of our common stock independent of the financial performance of FSP Corp. The market conditions for REIT stocks generally could affect the market price of our common stock.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American stock exchange, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access capital markets could be negatively impacted.

We must satisfy the NYSE American stock exchange’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a requirement that the price of our common stock may not sell for a substantial period of time at a low price per share. If our common stock sells for a substantial period of time at a low price per share, the NYSE American may require us to effect a reverse split of such shares within a reasonable time after being notified that the NYSE American deems such action to be appropriate under all the circumstances. A reverse split of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the value of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock if our stock price continued to fall after the reverse split is effected. In addition, if we fail to maintain compliance with any of the NYSE American's continued listing requirements, it could affect our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American, the only established trading market for our common stock would be eliminated, and we would be forced to list our shares on the OTC Markets or another quotation medium, depending on our ability to meet the specific listing requirements of those quotation systems. As a result, an investor would likely find it more difficult to trade or obtain accurate price quotations for our shares. Delisting would likely also reduce the visibility, liquidity, and value of our common stock, reduce institutional investor interest in us, and may increase the volatility of our common stock. Delisting could also cause a loss of confidence of potential lessees, lenders, and employees, which could further harm our business and our future prospects.

Risks Related to our Organization and Structure

Our employee retention plan may prevent changes in control.

During February  2006, our Board of Directors approved a change in control plan, which included a form of retention agreement and discretionary payment plan. Payments under the discretionary plan are capped at 1% of the market capitalization of FSP Corp. as reduced by the amount paid under the retention plan. The costs associated with these two components of the plan may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change in control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a greater premium over the then-prevailing market prices.

We would incur adverse tax consequences if we failed to qualify as a REIT.

The provisions of the tax code governing the taxation of REITs are very technical and complex, and although we expect that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to meet such requirements, no assurance can be given that we will always succeed in doing so. In addition, as a result of our past acquisition of certain sponsored REITs by merger, which we refer to as target REITs, we might no longer qualify as a REIT. We could lose our ability to so qualify for a variety of reasons relating to the nature of the assets acquired from the target REITs, the identity of the stockholders of the target REITs who become our stockholders or the failure of one or more of the target

Table of Contents

REITs to have previously qualified as a REIT. Moreover, if one or more of the target REITs that we acquired in May 2008, April 2006, April 2005 or June 2003 did not qualify as a REIT immediately prior to the consummation of its acquisition, we could be disqualified as a REIT as a result of such acquisition.

If in any taxable year we do not qualify as a REIT, we would be taxed as a corporation and distributions to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, we could be disqualified from treatment as a REIT in the year in which such failure occurred and for the next four taxable years and, consequently, we would be taxed as a regular corporation during such years. Failure to qualify for even one taxable year could result in a significant reduction of our cash available for distribution to our stockholders or could require us to incur indebtedness or liquidate investments in order to generate sufficient funds to pay the resulting federal income tax liabilities.

Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions, described below, which may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change of control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices.

Ownership Limits . In order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT, the holders of our common stock may be limited to owning, either directly or under applicable attribution rules  of the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 9.8% of the lesser of the value or the number of our equity shares, and no holder of common stock may acquire or transfer shares that would result in our shares of common stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons. Such ownership limit may have the effect of preventing an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation give our board of directors the right to refuse to give effect to the acquisition or transfer of shares by a stockholder in violation of these provisions.

Preferred Stock . Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and to establish the preferences and rights of any such shares issued. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control may be in our stockholders’ best interest.

Increase of Authorized Stock . Our board of directors, without any vote or consent of the stockholders, may increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock or the aggregate number of authorized shares we have authority to issue. The ability to increase the number of authorized shares and issue such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control may be in our stockholders’ best interest.

Amendment of Bylaws . Our board of directors has the power to amend our Bylaws. This power could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control may be in our stockholders’ best interests.

Stockholder Meetings . Our Bylaws require advance notice for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual and special meetings of stockholders and for stockholder nominations for election of directors at annual and special meetings of stockholders. The advance notice provisions require a proponent to provide us with detailed information about the proponent and/or nominee. Our Bylaws also provide that stockholders entitled to cast more than 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting must join in a request by stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders and that a specific process for the meeting request must be followed. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control may be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Supermajority Votes Required . Our Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of no less than 80% of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote in order (i) to amend the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation relating to the removal of directors, limitation of liability of officers and directors or indemnification of officers and directors or (ii)  to amend our Articles of Incorporation to impose cumulative voting in the election of directors. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control may be in our stockholders’ best interest.

Overview

FSP Corp., or we or the Company, operates in a single reportable segment: real estate operations. The real estate operations market involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real estate and services provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions, dispositions and development. Our current strategy is to focus on infill and central business district office properties in the United States sunbelt and mountain west regions as well as select opportunistic markets. We believe that the United States sunbelt and mountain west regions have macro-economic drivers that have the potential to increase occupancies and rents. We are focused on long-term growth and appreciation.

As of December 31, 2025, all of our total owned portfolio, consisting of approximately 4.8 million square feet, was located in Dallas, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis.

The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on broader economic market conditions. We may look to acquire and/or develop quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur.

In May 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors had initiated a review of strategic alternatives in order to explore ways to maximize shareholder value.

Throughout the strategic review process, the Board of Directors and management directed its financial advisors to evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives, including:

Portfolio-level transactions

Individual asset dispositions

Joint venture structures

Corporate-level transactions

Liquidation scenarios

Refinancing alternatives

During the period from the commencement of the strategic review process to the date of this Annual Report:

Transaction volume across many of our primary submarkets remained historically low.

Where transactions occurred, activity was frequently concentrated in lender-controlled or distressed situations and at pricing levels not reflective of stabilized intrinsic valuations.

Institutional capital in the office sector remained highly selective nationally, primarily targeting trophy or newly delivered assets in select gateway markets, or deeply discounted properties in distress scenarios. As a result, reported transaction pricing may be influenced by a limited number of transactions that are not necessarily reflective of actual achievable values on our assets.

Lending liquidity for office assets in similar markets and with comparable occupancy profiles and lease maturities has been significantly constrained relative to historical norms, further limiting the ability to execute transactions at pricing levels consistent with long-term asset values.

On February 26, 2026, we closed a $320 million secured credit facility with an affiliate of TPG Credit. We repaid in full all of our then outstanding approximately $249 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness with borrowings under the facility. The facility has an original stated maturity of February 26, 2029, subject to potential extension of up to one year at our option, subject to certain conditions. The facility consists of (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $275 million, and (ii) delayed draw term loans available upon the approval of the lenders party thereto in an aggregate principal amount of up to $45 million. The delayed draw term loans may be used, subject to certain conditions, to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building improvements and other uses approved by the lender. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the Credit Agreement.

We continue to believe that the intrinsic value of our real estate portfolio exceeds our current public market valuation. However, our ability to realize that value is dependent upon transaction and financing liquidity in the relevant capital markets and property submarkets, including for assets of similar quality, occupancy levels, and weighted average lease terms. Based on market evidence, transaction comparables, and discussions with potential counterparties, we, in consultation with our professional advisors, have determined that, to date, market conditions have not been supportive of transactions at pricing levels that would reasonably reflect the intrinsic value of our assets. Accordingly, we believe that pursuing asset sales or liquidation under such market conditions would likely not maximize value for our shareholders. We believe that current transaction activity in many office markets continues to reflect limited capital availability and highly selective buyer demand rather than the underlying long-term value of institutional quality assets.

Our review of potential strategic alternatives remains ongoing and continues to include evaluation of a range of alternatives, including asset sales.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our disposition strategy resulted in aggregate gross sale proceeds of $100.0 million, and we repaid an aggregate amount of $154.7 million of our debt previously outstanding under the BofA Term Loan, BMO Term Loan, Series A Notes and Series B Notes (each as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below). During the year ended December 31, 2025, we used disposition proceeds of $1.4 million received from escrow proceeds relating to dispositions in 2024, to repay outstanding debt.

Table of Contents

In March 2026, our Board of Directors determined to suspend quarterly cash dividends to reduce operating expenses and to redeploy that capital into leasing efforts intended to enhance the value of our portfolio. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that we may not declare dividends in excess of the greater of $0.01 per share or such amount as is required to maintain our status as a REIT. Any future declaration and payment of dividends will be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Trends and Uncertainties

Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Uncertainty still surrounds the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the commercial real estate market and our business. Many of our tenants still do not fully occupy the space that they lease. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the performance of our properties and our financial results, such as the potential negative impact to the businesses of our tenants, the impact of work-from-home and return-to-work policies, the potential negative impact to leasing efforts and occupancy at our properties, uncertainty regarding future rent collection levels or requests for rent concessions from our tenants, the occurrence of a default under any of our debt agreements, the potential for increased borrowing costs, negative impacts on our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or to secure new sources of capital on favorable terms decreases in values of our real estate assets, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. We are unable to estimate the full extent of the long-term impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have on our future financial results at this time. See “The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. This impact could be materially adverse to the extent that the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or future pandemics, cause tenants to be unable to pay their rent or reduce the demand for commercial real estate, or cause other impacts described below.” in Item 1A. “Risk Factors ”.

Economic Conditions

The global economy continues to experience significant disruptions as a result of various factors, including changes in U.S. trade or other policies or those policies of other nations, geopolitical events such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, increasing tensions with China and Iran, tensions between the U.S. and Europe related to the sovereignty of Greenland, major political shifts domestically or internationally and continuing supply chain difficulties. In addition, various economic factors, including but not limited to, impacts of changes in tariffs that the United States and other countries have announced or implemented, as well as any additional new tariffs, trade restrictions or export regulations that may be implemented or reversed in the future, inflation and interest rates, may adversely affect the economy of the United States. Economic conditions directly affect the demand for office space, our primary income producing asset. In addition, the broad economic market conditions in the United States are typically affected by numerous other factors, including but not limited to, employment levels, energy prices, uncertainty about government fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, changes in currency exchange rates, the regulatory environment and the availability of credit. If interest rates increase, then the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt would be adversely affected, which could in turn adversely affect our cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to stockholders. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 50.6% of our total debt constituted unhedged variable rate debt. Increased interest rates could also decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets and limit our ability to incur new debt or refinance existing debt when it matures. As of the date of this report, the impact of current economic conditions and geopolitical events and the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are adversely affecting the demand for office space in the United States.

Real Estate Operations

As of December 31, 2025, our real estate portfolio was comprised of 14 owned properties, which we refer to as our owned properties. Our owned properties were approximately 68.9% leased as of December 31, 2025, a decrease from 70.3% leased as of December 31, 2024. The 1.4% decrease in leased space was primarily a result of lease expirations exceeding new executed leases during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had

Table of Contents

approximately 1,497,000 square feet of vacancy in our owned properties compared to approximately 1,428,000 square feet of vacancy at December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we leased approximately 413,000 square feet of office space in our owned properties, of which approximately 320,000 square feet were with existing tenants, at a weighted average term of 5.7 years. On average, tenant improvements for such leases were $23.02 per square foot, lease commissions were $9.24 per square foot and rent concessions were approximately four months of free rent. Average GAAP base rents under such leases were $32.42 per square foot, or 5.7% higher than average rents in the respective properties as applicable compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, leases for approximately 7.6% and 10.4% of the square footage in our owned portfolio are scheduled to expire during 2026 and 2027, respectively. As the first quarter of 2026 begins, we believe that:

approximately half of our operating properties are stabilized with leased occupancy of 75% or more; and

our remaining operating properties are value-add in nature with leased occupancy of less than 75%.

Existing vacancy is being actively marketed to numerous potential tenants. While leasing activity at our properties has continued, we believe that the impact of geopolitical events, current economic conditions and the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit or delay new tenant leasing during at least the first quarter of 2026 and potentially in future periods.

While we cannot generally predict when an existing vacancy in our owned properties will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at then-current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which could be above or below the expiring rates. Also, we believe the potential exists for any of our tenants to default on its lease or to seek the protection of bankruptcy. If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Real Estate Acquisition and Investment Activity

During 2025:

we continued to explore additional potential real estate investment opportunities.

During 2024:

on September 27, 2024, we agreed to extend the maturity date of our loan to Monument Circle that was secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by Monument Circle, which we refer to as the Sponsored REIT Loan, to September 30, 2025.

During 2023:

on September 26, 2023, we agreed to extend the maturity date of the Sponsored REIT Loan, to September 30, 2024.

Property Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale

During 2025, we sold an office property located in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 6, 2025, for a gross sale price of $6 million, at a loss of $12.9 million.

During 2024, we sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on January 26, 2024, for a gross sales price of $35 million. The property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, and an impairment of $2.1 million had been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. An additional $5,000 of costs related to the sale were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a property in Glen Allen, Virginia for a gross sales price of approximately

Table of Contents

$31.0 million at an expected loss of $13.2 million, which was recorded as an impairment. The property was sold on July 8, 2024, at the expected loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into a new agreement to sell a property in Atlanta, Georgia, which was previously classified as an asset held for sale during 2023 pursuant to a previous agreement that was terminated on November 15, 2023. We increased the expected loss on this property by $6.6 million to $27.2 million when we entered into this new agreement to sell the property for a gross sales price of $34.0 million. The property was sold on October 23, 2024, with a $0.4 million increase to loss from final sales adjustments on the date of sale.

During 2023, we sold an office property located in Elk Grove, Illinois on March 10, 2023, for a gross sales price of $29.1 million, at a gain of approximately $8.4 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Charlotte, North Carolina at an expected loss of $0.8 million, which was recorded as an impairment, and we classified the property as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2023. The property was sold on August 9, 2023, for a gross sales price of $9.2 million, at a loss of $0.8 million, which had been our expected loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a gain on sale of $53,000 as a result of conveying approximately 7,826 square feet of land at our Addison, Texas property to the Town of Addison as part of a road revitalization project. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we executed purchase and sale agreements with four different unrelated purchasers for the potential sale of four properties. Three of these potential dispositions were classified as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2023. On October 26, 2023, we completed the sale of one of the assets held for sale as of September 30, 2023, an office building located in Plano, Texas for a gross sales price of $48.0 million at a gain of approximately $10.6 million. On December 6, 2023, we sold another of the assets held for sale, an office property located in Miami, Florida for a gross sales price of $68.0 million at a loss of approximately $18.9 million. The one remaining asset held for sale was expected to sell for a gross sales price of $40.0 million at a loss of approximately $20.5 million, which was recorded as an impairment as of September 30, 2023; however, on November 15, 2023, we received notice from the buyer indicating that the buyer was terminating the transaction and directing the deposit and interest be disbursed to us.

We used, or intend to use, the proceeds of the dispositions primarily to repay outstanding indebtedness.

The dispositions of these properties did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. Our current strategy is to continue to invest in the sunbelt and mountain west regions of the United States. Accordingly, the properties sold remained classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.

We continue to believe that the current price of our common stock does not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of our underlying real estate assets, and we will seek to increase shareholder value by (1) pursuing the sale of select properties where we believe that short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached and (2) striving to lease vacant space. As we continue to execute this strategy, our revenue, Funds From Operations, and capital expenditures may decrease in the short term. Proceeds from dispositions are intended to be used primarily for the repayment of debt.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed below. Significant estimates in the consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations and impairment considerations.

Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. Our

Table of Contents

most critical accounting policies involve our investments in sponsored REITs and our investments in real property. These policies affect our:

allocation of purchase price; and

assessment of the carrying values and impairments of long lived assets;

These policies involve significant judgments made based upon our experience, including judgments about current valuations, ultimate realizable value, current and future economic conditions and competitive factors in the markets in which our properties are located. Competition, economic conditions and other factors may cause occupancy declines in the future. In the future we may need to revise our carrying value assessments to incorporate information which is not now known and such revisions could decrease the carrying values of our assets.

Allocation of Purchase Price

We allocate the value of real estate acquired among land, buildings, improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which may consist of the value of above market and below market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships. Purchase price allocations and the determination of the useful lives are based on management’s estimates. Under some circumstances we may rely upon studies commissioned from independent real estate appraisal firms in determining the purchase price allocations.

Purchase price allocated to land and building and improvements is based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the property was vacant. Management determines the fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Purchase price allocated to above or below market leases is based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases including consideration of potential lease renewals and (ii)  our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for acquisitions reflected in our financial statements. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include (i) an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, including real estate taxes, insurance and other operating income and expenses, and (ii)  costs to execute similar leases in current market conditions, such as leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. If future acquisitions result in our allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, those amounts would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationships.

Impairment

We periodically evaluate our real estate properties for impairment indicators. These indicators may include lower or declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life or legislative, economic or market changes that permanently reduce the value of our investments. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the property by comparing it to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property over its estimated holding period is less than the carrying value of the property. If there are different potential outcomes for a property, we will take a probability weighted approach to estimating future cash flows. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets are reduced to their fair value. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant profitability, market or industry factors differ from our expectations, we may record an impairment charge which is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of such charges may be inaccurate.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $12.9 million to $107.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of :

A decrease in rental revenue of approximately $12.9 million arising primarily from the sale of one property in 2025 and three properties in 2024 and other losses of rental income from lease expirations during the periods presented. These decreases were partially offset by rental income earned from leases commencing after December 31, 2024. Our leased space in our owned properties was 68.9% as of December 31, 2025 and 70.3% as of December 31, 2024 .

Expenses

Total expenses decreased by $12.8 million to $140.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of:

A decrease in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $7.5 million, which was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above.

A decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $2.2 million, which was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above.

A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million, which was primarily attributable to lower professional fees and public company expenses of $0.9 million and lower personnel costs of $0.6 million during 2025 and higher fees and costs incurred from the loan amendment we entered into on February 21, 2024 during the year ended December 31, 2024.

A decrease in interest expense of approximately $1.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to a lower principal amount of debt outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to

Table of Contents

the year ended December 31, 2024 and was partially offset by higher interest rates that went into effect on April 1, 2025 under the loan amendment we entered into on February 21, 2024.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we repaid debt and incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $12,000 and $1,042,000, respectively, related to unamortized deferred financing costs on the dates of the repayments.

Loss on sale of properties and impairment of assets held for sale, net

On April 7, 2025, Monument Circle entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its property located in Indianapolis, Indiana for a gross sales price of $6.0 million. We estimated the fair value of this property, less estimated costs to sell, based on the purchase price set forth in the letter of intent to purchase the property that Monument Circle entered into with the third party, which resulted in recording an impairment charge of $13.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that was decreased by $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 for final sale adjustments after the sale was completed on June 6, 2025.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Atlanta, Georgia for a gross sales price of approximately $40.0 million at an expected loss of $20.5 million. We recorded an impairment on this asset held for sale as of September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we increased the expected loss on the property in Atlanta, Georgia by $6.6 million after we entered into a new agreement to sell the property for a gross sales price of $34.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on January 26, 2024, for a sales price of $35.0 million at a loss of approximately $2.1 million. The property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, and an impairment loss of $2.1 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. An additional $5,000 of costs related to the sale were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Glen Allen, Virginia for a gross sales price of approximately $31.0 million at an expected loss of $13.2 million, which was recorded as an impairment, and we classified the property as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2024. The property was sold on July 8, 2024, at the expected loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, an additional $0.7 million in costs related to the sale of properties previously sold were recorded.

Interest Income

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we invested disposition proceeds in an interest-bearing account and earned $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in interest income.

Tax expense on income

Included in income taxes is an estimate of federal income taxes of $31,000 from the sale of Monument Circle and the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues from Texas properties, which was $189,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $216,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $45.0 million, compared to a net loss of $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, for the reasons described above.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $25.6 million to $120.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of:

A decrease in rental revenue of approximately $25.4 million arising primarily from the sale of three properties during 2024 and four properties in 2023 and other losses of rental income from lease expirations during the periods presented. These decreases were partially offset by rental income earned from leases commencing after December 31, 2023. Our leased space in our owned properties and Monument Circle was 67.5% as of December 31, 2024, as compared to 71.5% as of December 31, 2023.

A decrease in other income of $0.2 million during 2024 compared to 2023 from a deposit that was forfeited by a potential buyer in 2023 for a property in Atlanta, Georgia that we had under agreement when the transaction was terminated.

Expenses

Total expenses decreased by $18.2 million to $152.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily a result of:

A decrease in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $10.2 million was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above.

A decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $10.0 million was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above.

A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million, which was primarily attributable to lower personnel costs, which were partially offset by higher professional fees

Table of Contents

related to debt transactions completed in 2024 and the costs associated with adding a new director to our Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of 2024.

These decreases were partially offset by:

An increase in interest expense of approximately $2.1 million. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense as a result of higher interest rates under the loan amendments we entered into in February 2024, which are described below and was partially offset by a lower principal amount of debt outstanding compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we repaid debt and incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to unamortized deferred financing costs on the dates of the repayments.

Gain on consolidation of Sponsored REIT

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on consolidation of Sponsored REIT as a result of reducing the Monument Circle loan loss reserve, which resulted in a $0.4 million gain.

Gain and loss on sale of properties and impairment of assets held for sale, net

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold an office property located in Charlotte, North Carolina known as Forest Park, for a sales price of $9.2 million at a loss of approximately $0.8 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we also recorded a gain on sale of $53,000 as a result of conveying approximately 7,826 square feet of land at our Addison, Texas property to the Town of Addison as part of a road revitalization project and increased the loss on sale of Forest Park by $38,000 as a result of final sales adjustments.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Miami, Florida, known as Blue Lagoon, for a gross sales price of approximately $68.0 million at an expected loss of $19.2 million that was recorded as an impairment loss. We completed the sale of the property on December 6, 2023 at an actual loss of $18.9 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Atlanta, Georgia for a gross sales price of approximately $40.0 million, at an expected loss of $20.5 million that was recorded as an impairment loss. On October 26, 2023, we completed the sale of an asset held for sale as of September 30, 2023, which was an office building located in Plano, Texas for a gross sales price of $48.0 million at a gain of approximately $10.6 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we entered into a purchase and sales agreement, which was subsequently amended, to sell a property located in Richardson, Texas for a gross sales price of $35 million, at an expected loss of $2.1 million that was recorded as an impairment loss during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The property sold on January 26, 2024, at the expected loss.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell a property in Glen Allen, Virginia for a gross sales price of approximately $31.0 million at an expected loss of $13.2 million that was recorded as an impairment, and we classified the property as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2024. The property was sold on July 8, 2024, at the expected loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, an additional $0.7 million in costs related to the sale of properties previously sold were recorded.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into a new agreement to sell a property in Atlanta, Georgia, which was classified as an asset held for sale, for a gross sales price of $34.0 million, and recorded an additional impairment loss of $6.6 million based on the fair value less cost to sell. The property sold on October 23, 2024, with a $0.4 million increase to loss from final sales adjustments on the date of sale.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $1.5 million to $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we invested disposition proceeds in an interest-bearing account and earned $0.6 million in interest income. During 2024, we used a portion of the disposition proceeds to reduce debt and earned $2.1 million in interest income from proceeds that remained invested.

Tax expense on income

Included in income taxes is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues from Texas properties, which was $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Net loss

Net loss for year ended December 31, 2024, was $52.7 million compared to $48.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, for the reasons described above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations

The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs. We exclude FFO from any Sponsored REIT that is consolidated from the calculation of FFO.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.

Other real estate companies and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO definition as of May 17, 2016 in the table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

The calculations of FFO are shown in the following table:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI. Management believes that investors are interested in this information. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. We exclude the NOI from any Sponsored REIT that is consolidated from the calculation of NOI. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned in the periods presented, which we call Same Store. The comparative Same Store results include properties held for the periods presented and exclude acquired properties. We also exclude properties that have been placed in service, but that do not have operating activity for all periods presented, dispositions and significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy

settlements and lease termination fees. NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to make distributions. The calculations of NOI are shown in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $30.6 million and $42.7 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease of $12.1 million is attributable to $3.7 million provided by operating activities, less $10.3 million used in investing activities less $5.5 million used in financing activities.

On February 26, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent, and Silver Oak Capital LLC, an affiliate of TPG Credit (collectively, the lenders from time-to-time party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured credit facility for aggregate principal commitments of up to $320 million, consisting of (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $275 million (the “Initial Term Loans”), and (ii) delayed draw term loans available upon the approval of the Lenders after the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount of up to $45 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans” and together with the Initial Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). The Delayed Draw Term Loans may be used, subject to certain conditions, to fund tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building improvements and other uses approved by the Lenders. The Term Loans are not subject to amortization and have an initial stated maturity date of February 26, 2029. The maturity date is subject to potential extension of up to one year at the option of the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We used the proceeds of the Initial Term Loans on the Closing Date to refinance and retire all outstanding indebtedness under the BMO Term Loan, BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes (each as defined below). See Note 12, Subsequent Events, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the Credit Agreement.

Management believes that existing cash and cash anticipated to be generated internally by operations, including property dispositions, will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Although there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the funds necessary for our future growth, we anticipate generating funds from continuing real estate operations and property dispositions. We believe that we have adequate funds to cover unusual expenses and capital improvements, in addition to normal operating expenses.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by our operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $3.7 million was primarily attributable to a net loss of $45.0 million excluding $12.9 million from a loss on the sale of a property, plus the add-back of $45.7 million of non-cash expenses, less a decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation of $4.6 million, less an increase in payment of deferred leasing commissions of $4.2 million, less an increase in lease acquisition costs of $1.2 million, less a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.7 million and plus a decrease in tenant receivables of $0.8 million.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $10.3 million was primarily attributable to capital expenditures and office equipment investments of approximately $16.4 million, which was partially offset by proceeds from the disposition of one property of $6.1 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $5.5 million is primarily attributable to payment of distributions to stockholders of $4.1 million and the repayment of $1.4 million of our debt.

Liquidity beyond the next 12 months

As of March 5, 2026, we had aggregate outstanding indebtedness of $275 million. Our ability to generate cash adequate to satisfy our debt obligations as they mature and meet our operating needs is dependent primarily on income from real estate investments, the sale of real estate investments, leveraging of real estate investments, proceeds from public offerings of stock, private placement of debt and access to the capital markets. The acquisition of new properties, the payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital improvement expenses, debt service payments, general and administrative expenses, and distribution requirements place demands on our liquidity.

Table of Contents

We intend to operate our properties from the cash flows generated by our properties. However, our expenses are affected by various factors, including inflation. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors for additional factors. Increases in operating expenses are predominantly borne by our tenants. To the extent that increases cannot be passed on to our tenants through rent reimbursements, such expenses would reduce the amount of available cash flow, which can adversely affect the market value of the applicable property.

We have used a variety of sources to fund our cash needs in addition to our free cash flow generated from our investments in real estate. We have considered raising capital through public offerings or At The Market (ATM) programs of our common stock. We believe these sources of funds will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet our obligations beyond the next twelve months.

BMO Term Loan

As of December 31, 2025, we had a term loan borrowing in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $70.7 million, which we refer to as the BMO Term Loan, with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the other lending institutions party thereto, which would have matured on April 1, 2026. The BMO Term Loan was subject to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 27, 2018, which we refer to as the Original BMO Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 10, 2023, which we refer to as the BMO First Amendment, and the Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 21, 2024, which we refer to as the BMO Second Amendment.

Senior Notes

As of December 31, 2025, we had senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $122.9 million, which we refer to as the Senior Notes, which would have matured on April 1, 2026. The Senior Notes consisted of (i) Series A Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $71.3 million, which we refer to as the Series A Notes, and (ii) Series B Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $51.6 million, which we refer to as the Series B Notes.

Equity Offering

From time to time, we may issue debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or depository shares under a registration statement to fund the acquisition of additional properties, to pay down any existing debt financing and for other corporate purposes.

Contingencies

On March 9, 2026, the Company received an e-mail message from Iman Hossini, who purports to be a shareholder of the Company, demanding that the Board of Directors investigate alleged breaches of the fiduciary duty of due care and waste of corporate assets by George J. Carter, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Jeffrey B. Carter, President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company, and John G. Demeritt Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in connection with the Company entering into the Credit Agreement. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome or provide a reasonable estimate or range of estimates of the possible outcome or loss, if any, in this matter.

We may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Other Considerations

We generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our owned properties and Monument Circle from the rental revenue generated by the properties. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of Monument Circle for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024. Monument Circle sold its property on June 6, 2025. Monument Circle had approximately $132,000 of rental income and $435,000 of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025. Monument Circle had approximately $85,000 and $302,000 of rental income, and $263,000 and $1,095,000 of operating expenses, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Rental Income Commitments

Our commercial real estate operations include the leasing of office buildings subject to leases with terms greater than one year. The leases thereon expire at various dates through 2042.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Investments in Sponsored REITs

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we held a common stock interest in one Sponsored REIT, Monument Circle, which was fully syndicated and in which we did not share economic benefit or risk. As a common stockholder, we had no rights to the Sponsored REIT’s earnings or any related cash distributions. However, upon liquidation of the

Table of Contents

Sponsored REIT, we were entitled to our percentage interest as a common stockholder in any proceeds remaining after the preferred stockholders recovered their investment. Our common stock percentage interest in the sponsored REIT was less than 1%. Monument Circle and the corporation that had been its sole member were dissolved on December 9, 2025.
