Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Alpine Income Property OP, LP
In connection with the Offering (as defined below) by Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) of the Company’s 8.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) was amended (the “Amendment”) to provide for the issuance of up to an additional 1,458,334 of the Operating Partnership’s 8.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (liquidation preference $25.00 per unit) (the “Series A Preferred Units”). Following the entry into the Amendment, the Operating Partnership is authorized to issue an aggregate of 3,758,334 Series A Preferred Units. The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The Company intends to contribute the net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock in the Offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for the same number of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units have economic terms that mirror the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Units is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Partial Management Fee Waiver
Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement among the Company, the Operating Partnership and Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), dated November 26, 2019 and amended on July 18, 2024 (the “Management Agreement”), the Manager manages, operates, and administers the Company’s day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by the Board. The Company pays the Manager a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”) equal to 1.50% per annum (0.375% per fiscal quarter) of the Company’s “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.
In connection with the Offering, on December 5, 2025, the Manager executed a waiver (the “Waiver Letter”), which provides that, the Manager will waive a portion of the Base Management Fee attributable to the inclusion of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the Offering in Total Equity (the “Incremental Equity Base”), such that the Base Management Fee rate on the Incremental Equity Base will equal 0.75% per annum (0.1875% per fiscal quarter), instead of 1.50% per annum (0.375% per fiscal quarter) as provided in the Management Agreement.
A copy of the Waiver Letter is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
