Risk Change Over Time
- Debt & Financing - Risk 1The replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate may adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt and our financial results.
The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by June 30, 2023. We will need to agree upon a replacement index with our lenders, which would require an amendment to our borrowing arrangements that use LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate (including our credit agreement with Wells Fargo), and the interest rate thereunder will likely change. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), calculated using short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. Whether or not SOFR, or another alternative reference rate, attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question. The transition to an alternative rate will require careful and deliberate consideration and implementation so as to not disrupt the stability of financial markets. There is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or borrowing costs to borrowers, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, any changes announced by the FCA, U.S. Federal Reserve, or other regulators in the method pursuant to which the reference rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported reference rates, which could have an adverse effect on our interest payments and our results of operations and financial condition.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 25
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Company's Bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision, which could impair the ability of shareholders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for certain disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees and be cost-prohibitive to shareholders.
The Company's Bylaws contain an exclusive forum provision which provides that, unless its Board of Directors consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court located in Duval County, Florida or the federal district court for the Middle District of Florida will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation's shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Florida Business Corporation Act or the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The exclusive forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees or be cost-prohibitive to shareholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company or its directors, officers and other employees. However, there is uncertainty regarding whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and operating results.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Institutional investor focus on environmental, social and governance issues may impact our stock price.
Many large institutional investors focus on sustainability in managing investment risks, portfolio design and dealing with companies in which they invest. This focus extends to climate change and the plan for transitioning to a net-zero economy, diversity and inclusion and other human resource matters, and social and governance issues and corporate social responsibility. Many of these issues lie at the heart of what the Company considers to be best practices, but a failure to adequately demonstrate our commitment to them might dissuade institutional investors from holding our stock, which would result in downward pressure on our stock price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3FRP may issue preferred stock with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our board of directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of FRP's common stock. For example, FRP could grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of its directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or dividend, distribution or liquidation preferences FRP could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Florida law could delay or prevent a change in control of FRP.
The existence of some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and Florida law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of FRP that a shareholder may consider favorable. These include provisions: - providing that directors may be removed by our shareholders only for cause;- authorizing a large number of shares of stock that are not yet issued, which would allow FRP's board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, thereby protecting the continuity of its management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of FRP;- requiring the written demand of 50% of all votes entitled to be cast on a particular issue in order for shareholders to call a special meeting;- prohibiting shareholders from taking action by written consent; and - imposing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors at the annual shareholder meetings. These provisions apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Certain shareholders have effective control of a significant percentage of FRP's common stock and would have significant influence on the outcome of any shareholder vote.
As of December 31, 2025, our Executive Chairman, John D. Baker II beneficially owned approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (81% of which are held in trusts under which voting power is shared with other family members) and members of his family who are (i) officers or directors of the Company, (ii) required to report their beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, or (iii) are members of his immediate family beneficially own, collectively, an additional 18.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, these individuals effectively may have the ability to direct the election of all members of our board of directors and to exercise a controlling influence over its business and affairs, including any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations involving the Company, its acquisition or disposition of assets, its borrowing of monies, its issuance of any additional securities, its repurchase of common stock and its payment of dividends.
