Generation Income Properties (GIPR) Risk Analysis

The seller of a property often sells such property in its "as is" condition on a "where is" basis and "with all faults," without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. Thus, the purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.

As of March 31, 2026, we own twenty-five properties through preferred equity partnerships and we may enter into more in the future. Our partners, as well as any future partners, may have interests that are different from ours which may result in conflicting views as to the conduct of the business of the partnership. In the event that we have a disagreement with a partner as to the resolution of a particular issue to come before the partnership, or as to the management or conduct of the business of the partnership in general, we may not be able to resolve such disagreement in our favor and such disagreement could have a material adverse effect on our interest in the partnership. In addition, investments made in partnerships or other co-ownership arrangements involve risks not otherwise present in investments we make, including the following risks: - that our partner in an investment could become insolvent or bankrupt;- that our partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or that become inconsistent with our business interests or goals - that the partner could take actions that decrease the value of an investment to us; or - that the partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives. Any of the risks above might subject us to liabilities and thus reduce our returns on our investment with that partner.

Our directors and officers have duties to our corporation and our stockholders under Maryland law and our charter in connection with their management of the corporation. At the same time, we, as general partner, will have fiduciary duties under Delaware law to our Operating Partnership and to the limited partners in connection with the management of our Operating Partnership. Our duties as general partner of our Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our corporation and our stockholders. Under Delaware law, a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership owes its limited partners the duties of good faith and fair dealing. Other duties, including fiduciary duties, may be modified or eliminated in the partnership's partnership agreement. The partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership provides that, for so long as we own a controlling interest in our Operating Partnership, any conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners will be resolved in favor of our stockholders. Additionally, the partnership agreement expressly limits our liability by providing that we will not be liable or accountable to our Operating Partnership for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived if we acted in good faith. In addition, our Operating Partnership is required to indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, agents and designees to the extent permitted by applicable law from and against any and all claims arising from operations of our Operating Partnership, unless it is established that: (1)?the act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2)?the indemnified party received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3)?in the case of a criminal proceeding, the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The provisions of Delaware law that allow the fiduciary duties of a general partner to be modified by a partnership agreement have not been tested in a court of law, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel covering the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to waive or restrict our fiduciary duties.

In connection with the preferred investment by LC2 in our GIP SPE subsidiary, LC2 has substantial rights under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for GIP SPE (the "GIP SPE Operating Agreement"). See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-- Recent Developments." GIP SPE is a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, which holds, directly and indirectly, 18 of our properties, including the properties comprising our portfolio acquisition from Modiv Industrial and eight of our other properties (collectively, the "Properties"). Under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement, the following actions, among others, require the approval of LC2: - the adoption and approval of annual operating budgets for the operations and improvements of the Properties; acquiring additional real property or any interest therein;- selling, leasing, assigning, pledging, conveying, exchanging, encumbering or otherwise disposing of all or a material portion of the assets of GIP SPE or any of its Properties, subject to certain exceptions;- amending or waiving any provision of, or otherwise modifying the GIP SPE Operating Agreement;- amending, extending or materially modifying any existing lease relating to any of the Properties or entering into any new lease with respect to any of the Properties;- admitting, including by assignment of economic rights or permitting encumbrances of membership interests in GIP SPE, any member other than by means of a transfer permitted by the GIP SPE Operating Agreement;- merging or consolidating GIP SPE with or into another entity, reorganizing GIP SPE, or making a binding commitment to do any of the foregoing;- making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, filing a petition in bankruptcy, petitioning or applying to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee for GIP SPE, or a substantial part of any of its properties or assets, or commencing any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction;- voluntarily dissolving or liquidating GIP SPE;- causing GIP SPE to loan any of its funds;- except as specifically provided in the agreement, engaging in any Capital Transaction (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement), financing or any Approved Loan (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement), or executing or otherwise entering into any loan, guaranty, indemnity or similar agreement by GIP SPE or modifying in any material nature, extending, renewing, changing or prepaying in whole or in part any borrowing, financing, refinancing, indemnity or similar agreement, or making any commitments to borrow funds;- causing GIP SPE to make, revoke or modify any tax election; and - making any change to GIP SPE's accounting practices or policies that could be material to either GIP SPE or its members. Pertaining to the special partnership entity, GIP SPE's Preferred Interest has a cumulative accruing distribution preference of 15.5% per year, compounded monthly, a portion of which, in the amount of 5% per annum, is deemed to be the "current preferred return," and the remainder of which, in the amount of 10.5% per annum, is deemed to be the "accrued preferred return." The GIP SPE Operating Agreement provides that operating distributions by GIP SPE will be made first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid current preferred return, with the balance being paid to the Operating Partnership, subject to certain exceptions. The GIP SPE Operating Agreement also provides that distributions from capital transactions will be paid first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid preferred return, then to LC2 until the "Make-Whole Amount" (defined as an amount equal to 1.3 times the LC2 Investment) is reduced to zero, and then to the Operating Partnership. LC2's rights under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement may significantly impede our ability to operate our business and manage our Properties. Furthermore, these rights may prevent us from engaging in transactions, including change of control or financing transactions, that otherwise would be attractive to us. The foregoing could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the market value of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our common stockholders in the future.

We may change our investment objectives without stockholder notice or consent. Although our Board has fiduciary duties to our stockholders and intends only to change our investment objectives when our Board determines that a change is in the best interests of our stockholders, a change in our investment objectives could reduce our payment of cash distributions to our stockholders or cause a decline in the value of our investments.

One of the requirements for REIT qualification is that we not be closely held. For these purposes, we will be closely held if five or fewer individuals (including certain entities treated as individuals for this purpose) own (or are treated as owning under applicable attribution rules) more than 50% by value of our stock at any time during the second half of the taxable year. This requirement does not apply during our first REIT year. Upon the election to be taxed as a REIT for our taxable year ending December 31, 2021, the closely held test became effective for our taxable year ending December 31, 2022 and we were not considered closely held. As of December 31, 2025 we maintain that we are not closely held. Our articles of incorporation generally restrict any person from owning or being treated as owning more than 9.8% of our stock, limiting the amount of our stock any five persons could own or be treated as owning 49% of our stock, in order to prevent us from failing the closely held requirement. As permitted in our articles of incorporation, however, our Board has granted, and may grant from time to time in the future, waivers with respect to the 9.8% ownership restriction for holders for which we determine, based on such holders' representations, covenants and agreements, that such waivers would not jeopardize our status as a REIT.

Foreign persons (other than certain foreign pension funds) disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, are generally subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax of 1980, as amended, known as FIRPTA, on the gain recognized on the disposition. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is "domestically controlled." A REIT is "domestically controlled" if less than 50% of the REIT's stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REIT's existence. We cannot assure you that we will qualify as a "domestically controlled" REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of our shares would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless our shares were regularly traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 10% of the value of our outstanding common stock.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchased your shares. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include: - actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, funds from operations, cash flows, liquidity or distributions;- changes in our earnings estimates or those of analysts;- publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry or sector in which we operate;- increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher dividend yield;- changes in market valuations of companies similar to us;- adverse market reaction to any securities we may issue or additional debt we incur in the future;- adverse impacts of the coronavirus on our tenants or the economy in general;- additions or departures of key management personnel;- actions by institutional stockholders;- speculation in the press or investment community;- high levels of volatility in the credit markets;- the realization of any of the other risk factors included herein; and - general market and economic conditions. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. Accordingly, we may be the target of securities related litigation or other similar litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"). In order to maintain that listing, we must maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements and standards. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq. Minimum Stockholders' Equity Requirement In August 2025, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq (the "Staff") notifying us that we no longer maintained at least $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Requirement") and that we also did not meet any other alternative standard. On October 6, 2025, we submitted to the Staff a written plan to become compliant with the Equity Requirement and were given until February 5, 2026, to regain compliance. Because we were unable to regain compliance by such date, on February 5, 2026, the Staff provided written notification that the trading of our common stock and warrants would be suspended at the open of business on February 17, 2026 unless the Company appealed the Staff's determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. We thereafter timely appealed the Staff's determination, and on March 24, 2026, a hearing was held before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, during which time we requested an extension of time and submitted a plan to regain compliance with both the Equity Requirement and Minimum Bid Requirement (as described below) by August 2026, with such plan consisting of a combination of property sales, capital raises, and a reverse stock split. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, we had not yet been informed as to whether the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has decided to grant an extension of time to regain compliance, and it is possible that we will not be granted a further extension, whereupon our common stock and warrants would be delisted. Even if we are granted an extension of time to regain compliance, there is no assurance that we will be able to actually regain compliance during such period. Minimum Bid Requirement On January 28, 2025, we received notice from Nasdaq that, because the closing bid price for our common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"). We were provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to July 27, 2026. We intend to continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Specifically, we have confirmed to Nasdaq at the hearing held on March 24, 2026 that, if necessary, we will implement a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock prior to July 27, 2026 to attempt to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Potential Consequences of Delisting There is no assurance that we will be able to meet Nasdaq's listing requirements or comply with the requisite Nasdaq requirements to maintain our listing of common stock and warrants on Nasdaq. In the event that our common stock and warrants are delisted from Nasdaq, as a result of our failure to comply with the Equity Requirement or the Minimum Bid Requirement or as a result of our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, and we are not able to list our securities on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a decline of the market price of our common stock;- a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock;- reduced liquidity for our common stock;- a determination that our common stock is a "penny stock," which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for us;- a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and - the incurring of additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In the event our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, we may not be able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system.

We have 100 million authorized shares of common stock and 10 million authorized shares of preferred stock. Our management could, without the consent of the existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares of common stock, causing a large dilution in the equity position of our current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on the value of our shares, which could cause you to lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.

Until holders of our warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants, the holders will, with certain limited exceptions, have no rights with respect to shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

Our outstanding warrants provide for investors to consent to exclusive forum to state or federal courts located in New York, New York. This exclusive forum may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations and may limit an investor's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the warrant limits or restricts the federal district court in which a holder of a warrant may bring a claim under the federal securities laws.

Certain provisions of our warrants could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting "fundamental transactions" unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. These and other provisions of our warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us and our business. If no analysts commence coverage of us, or if analysts commence and then cease coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price for our common stock would likely decline.

For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised accounting standards. Further, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i)?the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700?million, (ii)?the end of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07?billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii)?the date on which we issue more than $1?billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period or (iv)?the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our Board to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our Board, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding capital stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding common stock. A person that did not acquire more than 9.8% of our shares may become subject to our charter restrictions if redemptions by other stockholders cause such person's holdings to exceed 9.8% of our outstanding shares. Our 9.8% ownership limitation may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for our stockholders.

Our Board may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock into other classes or series of stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock without stockholder approval. Thus, our Board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might otherwise provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.

Our charter provides that any tender offer made by a person, including any "mini-tender" offer, must comply with most provisions of Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act. The offeror must provide the Company notice of such tender offer at least 10 business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offeror does not comply with these requirements, no person may transfer any shares held by such person to the offeror without first offering the shares to us at the lowest of (1)?the latest offering price of our common stock; (2)?the fair market value of one share of our common stock as determined by an independent valuation; and (3)?the lowest tender offer price offered in such tender offer. In addition, the noncomplying offeror person shall be responsible for all of the Company's expenses in connection with that offeror's noncompliance. This provision of our charter may discourage a person from initiating a tender offer for our shares and prevent you from receiving a premium price for your shares in such a transaction.

Maryland law provides that a director will not have any liability as a director so long as he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. In addition, Maryland law and our charter provide that no director or officer shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages unless the director or officer (1)?actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2)?was actively and deliberately dishonest as established by a final judgment as material to the cause of action. Moreover, our charter generally requires us to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities unless their act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, they actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, they had reasonable cause to believe the act or omission was unlawful. Further, we expect to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors. As a result, you and we may have more limited rights against our directors or officers than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce your and our recovery from these persons if they act in a manner that causes us to incur losses. In addition, we are obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases.
