Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive
Ownership of Shares would result in the Corporation being “closely held” within the

14.We note that your leases are structured as triple-net leases where tenants are responsible
for the payment of all taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, environmental and other
operating expenses relating to the residential and commercial real estate. From your

December 31, 2022, occupies approximately 49% and 50%, respectively, of your units,
with various expiration dates through March 2032. It appears your triple-net lease with
Sevita represents a significant asset concentration. Please tell us your consideration to
include full audited financial statements of Sevita within your filing to allow potential
investors to evaluate risk to you related to this significant asset concentration.
