The persons identified on the cover page hereto (collectively, the “Hartman Group”) on June 3, 2025 filed a definitive proxy statement and an accompanying BLUE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be used to solicit votes for, among other matters, (i) the election of directors that the Hartman Group has nominated for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) and (ii) the rejection of the Company’s alternate strategy proposal, and in favor of liquidating the Company’s assets in an orderly manner in accordance with the terms of its articles of incorporation and returning capital to stockholders.

 

On July 9, 2025, the Hartman Group distributed the following letter to shareholders:

 

Important: Don’t Be Misled by Illegal Proxy Calls

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Thank you for participating in this year’s vote — your engagement matters.

 

We want to make you aware:
⚠   Silver Star is currently prohibited from soliciting proxy votes due to incomplete financial audits, as confirmed by the SEC.

📄   View the SEC Letter

 

Silver Star’s proxy solicitors are calling shareholders on recorded lines to collect proxy votes under the guise of “we have no record of your vote”. Hang up. Do not engage. Your vote on the BLUE proxy card is secure. Do not vote their WHITE proxy card.

 

Hartman Shareholder Alliance stands for:

 

Transparency to Shareholders and a Full Forensic Audit of Silver Star Financials,
Immediate Liquidation of Newly Acquired Assets and return of capital to investors,
Sale of Legacy Assets as they are stabilized and leased up, then capital returned to you,
Serving in alignment with the Interests of Shareholders and competence in real estate management and value enhancement.

 

STOP REWARDING SILVER STAR BOARD FOR DEVALUING YOUR INVESTMENT AND VOTE FOR RESPONSIBLE LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY AND RETURN OF CAPITAL.

 

See the attached proxy letter for more details. Click here to read the full letter.

 

Call us directly at (619) 664-4780 to vote for the return of your capital or vote the blue proxy from our online e-mail.

 

Thank you again for staying informed and involved.
