Equity Ownership

Beneficial Ownership (as of April 3, 2025)Amount
Common Stock and securities exchangeable for Common Stock101,013 shares (less than 1%)
Included OP Units (exchangeable 1:1 for Common Stock)12,260 OP Units included in beneficial ownership

Related alignment/transactions:

  • Delinquent Section 16(a) reports: four transactions not timely included on two Forms 4 for Mr. Green (company believes all other filings were timely) .

Governance Assessment

  • Strengths

    • Deep sector expertise and prior investment committee experience in public real estate, aligned with FVR’s focus on outparcel and retail real estate .
    • Clear engagement: 100% attendance at Board and committee meetings in 2024 .
    • Ownership alignment through OP Units and common-equivalent exposure; no pledging of shares .
  • Watch items / RED FLAGS

    • Not independent; affiliated with the predecessor entity; serves on the non-independent Real Estate Investment Committee with both Co-CEOs, which concentrates transactional oversight with insiders (potential conflict in capital allocation) .
    • Related-party exposure from the Internalization: Mr. Green (or affiliates) received 71,303 OP Units (~$1.4M at IPO price), aligning but also signaling insider economic benefits; ongoing outsourced services agreement with NAAM (affiliate) estimated at ~$0.6M in first year adds continuing affiliate dealings that require rigorous Audit Committee oversight .
    • Section 16(a) compliance: four late-reported transactions for Mr. Green (process/control optics) .
  • Implications for investors

    • Transaction approval influence: As a Real Estate Investment Committee member, Green helps approve acquisitions/dispositions within delegated thresholds ($5–$25M single-asset; quarterly aggregates), and recommends larger deals to the full Board—heightening the importance of independent director challenge and Audit/Nominating oversight .
    • Compensation alignment: 2024 compensation was cash-only (no RSUs), reflecting his non-independent status; going forward, policy provides for annual RSUs to non-employee directors, but 2024 disclosed no grant for Green—monitor future equity awards for alignment and dilution controls .
    • Related-party risk management: Given past and ongoing affiliate relationships, investors should monitor the Audit Committee’s application of the Related Party Transaction Policy and disclosures around internalization-related benefits and outsourced services .
