Medalist Fund Manager, Inc.

The Company is externally managed by the Manager, which makes all investment decisions for the Company. The Manager oversees the Company’s overall business and affairs and has broad discretion to make operating decisions on behalf of the Company and to make investment decisions.

The Company pays the Manager a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.125% of stockholders’ equity, payable in arrears in cash. For purposes of calculating the asset management fee, the Company’s stockholders’ equity means: (a) the sum of (1) the net proceeds from (or equity value assigned to) all issuances of the Company’s equity and equity equivalent securities (including common stock, common stock equivalents, preferred stock and OP Units issued by the Company’s operating partnership) since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), plus (2) the Company’s retained earnings at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense incurred in current or prior periods), less (b) any amount that the Company has paid to repurchase its common stock issued in this or any subsequent offering. Stockholders’ equity also excludes (1) any unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization) that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (2) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain non-cash items not otherwise described above, in each case after discussions between the Company’s Manager and its independent director(s) and approval by a majority of its independent directors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $221,265 and $653,668, in asset management fees, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $216,295 and $602,588, in asset management fees, respectively.

The Manager also receives an acquisition fee of 2.0% of the purchase price plus transaction costs, for each property acquired or investment made on the Company’s behalf at the closing of the acquisition of such property or investment, in consideration for the Manager’s assistance in effectuating such acquisition. Acquisition fees are allocated and added to the fair value of the tangible assets acquired and recorded as part of investment properties, net, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  On March 16, 2021, the Manager agreed to defer one-half of all acquisition fees until the Company’s stock price reaches $5.00 per share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $201,524 in acquisition fees associated with the Salisbury Marketplace Property acquisition, which were allocated and added to the fair value of the Salisbury Marketplace Property tangible assets.  One half of the acquisition fee, or $100,762 was paid in cash and one half of the acquisition fee was accrued until such time that the Company’s stock price reaches $5.00 per share.  No such acquisition fees were incurred or deferred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $145,758 in acquisition fees associated with the Greenbrier Business Center Property acquisition, which were allocated and added to the fair value of the tangible assets.  One half of the acquisition fee, or $72,879, was paid in cash and one half of the acquisition fee was accrued until such time that the Company’s stock price reaches $5.00 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $351,810 in acquisition fees, $206,052 associated with the Lancer Center Property acquisition, and $145,758 associated with the Greenbrier Business Center Property acquisition, which were allocated and added to the fair value of the tangible assets for each property.  One half of the total acquisition fees, or $175,905, was paid in cash and one half of the acquisition fee was accrued until such time that the Company’s stock price reaches $5.00 per share.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had accrued a total of $352,717 and $251,955, respectively, in acquisition fees resulting from the Company’s 2021 and 2022 acquisitions.  These accrued acquisition fees are recorded under accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Manager will be entitled to an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between (1) the product of (x) 20% and (y) the difference between (i) Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) (as further defined below) for the previous 12-month period, and (ii) the product of (A) the weighted average of the issue price of equity securities issued in this offering and in future offerings and transactions, multiplied by the weighted average number of all shares of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including any restricted stock units, any restricted shares of common stock and OP Units) in the previous 12-month period, exclusive of equity securities issued prior to this offering, and (B) 7%, and (2) the sum of any incentive fee paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee during the first years after completion of this offering, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) will be determined by

annualizing the applicable period following completion of this offering. AFFO is calculated by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. The Company further adjusts funds from operations (“FFO”) for certain items that are not added to net income in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (NAREIT) definition of FFO, such as acquisition expenses, equity based compensation expenses, and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of the Company’s properties, and subtract recurring capital expenditures (and, when calculating the incentive fee only, we further adjust FFO to include any realized gains or losses on real estate investments). No incentive fees were earned or paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.
