Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.

Other Fair Value Instruments

See discussion of fair value considerations of joint venture investments in Note 1.

The fair market value for mortgage indebtedness was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporated future contractual interest and principal payments and a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk and loan to value. The Company’s mortgage debt outstanding at December 31, 2024 was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. At December 31, 2024, the carrying amount and fair value of mortgage indebtedness were $301.4 million and $309.2 million, respectively.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company may use swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not entered into any swaps or caps. Prior swaps were designated as cash flow hedges involving the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Prior to the termination and repayment of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement (Note 5) on August 15, 2024, the Company had one effective swap with a notional amount of $200.0 million, expiring in June 2027, which converted the variable-rate SOFR component of the interest rate applicable to its term loan to a fixed rate of 2.75%. In August of 2024, in conjunction with the repayment of the Term Loan Agreement, the swap was terminated and re-designated to convert the variable-rate SOFR component of the interest rate applicable to $200.0 million of the loan outstanding under the new Mortgage Facility to a fixed rate of 2.75%. At the time of termination, the Company received a cash payment of $6.8 million and the fair value of the derivative remaining in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income was $6.4 million. This amount was subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction was probable of affecting earnings (Note 9). All components of the swap were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Derivative – Unsecured Notes

In 2023, the Company entered into swaption agreements with a notional amount aggregating $450.0 million to partially hedge the impact of changes in benchmark interest rates on potential yield maintenance premiums applicable to the redemption of its Senior

Notes due in 2027. The swaptions did not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, these derivative instruments were recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair market value, with changes in value recorded through earnings as of each balance sheet date until exercise or expiration. In August 2024, the swaption agreements were terminated and the Company received a cash payment of $1.3 million. The Company reported a non-cash loss of $5.5 million and a non-cash gain of $2.1 million related to the valuation adjustments associated with these instruments for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are recorded in (Loss) gain on derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

About Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.

Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
