The company’s Board of Directors initiated a review of strategic alternatives in May 2025, which was expanded in April 2026 to include BofA Securities, Inc. and Jones Lang LaSalle Securities, LLC as co-financial advisors, to maximize shareholder value through various transactions. The company prioritizes leasing and occupancy improvement, driving efficiencies by managing general and administrative expenses, and is negotiating a Purchase and Sale Agreement for its Greenwood Plaza property. In March 2026, the Board of Directors suspended quarterly cash dividends to redeploy capital into leasing efforts, subject to Credit Agreement restrictions, while observing early signs of stabilization in the capital markets for office assets.
