Levenson and Christopher Swann for election to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer as Preferred Stock Trustees at the Issuer’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), Privet Fund, Privet Fund Management and Mr. Levenson are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately upon the filing of this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.

The Securities purchased by each of Cygnus Opportunity, Cygnus IV, Cygnus V, Cygnus VI and Privet Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase price of the 815,149 shares of Beneficial Interest, 81,399 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 106,249 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 100,310 shares of Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Cygnus Opportunity is approximately $1,415,499, $757,223, $908,899 and $889,048, respectively, excluding brokerage commissions.

The aggregate purchase price of the 147,802 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 210,479 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 165,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Cygnus V is approximately $951,262, $1,326,313 and $1,140,027, respectively, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 41,485 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 71,781 shares of Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Cygnus VI is approximately $324,544 and $557,997, respectively, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,910 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 32,836 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 73,227 shares of Series D Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Privet Fund is approximately $15,695, $206,726 and $495,041, respectively, excluding brokerage commissions.

Effective upon the Issuer filing its proxy materials, Cygnus agreed to withdraw its nomination of Ryan J. Levenson as a Preferred Stock Trustee for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Cygnus agreed that it will cause all of the Securities that it has the right to vote as of the applicable record date for the Annual Meeting, to be voted in favor of each of Messrs. Swann and Hart’s election as a Preferred Stock Trustee and against any other shareholder nominations for Preferred Stock Trustee. Subject to the Issuer fulfilling its obligations under the Letter Agreement, Cygnus further agreed not recommend or nominate any person for election as a Preferred Stock Trustee or other trustee of the Board at the Annual Meeting other than Messrs. Swann or Hart or commence any “withhold” or other campaign or submit any proposals with respect to the Annual Meeting, without the Issuer’s prior written consent. 

In connection with the Letter Agreement, Privet Fund, on behalf of itself, Mr. Levenson and each of their affiliates deemed to own the Securities (collectively, “Privet”) entered into a Joinder to the Letter Agreement (the “Joinder”) agreeing, among other things, to the same voting obligations and restrictions with respect to the Annual Meeting as are applicable to Cygnus pursuant to the Letter Agreement.
