10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties. As of June 30, 2024 , approximately $1.0  million is estimated for such capital expenditures on existing properties, net of any construction financing, during the rest of the year.
 
On March 13, 2024, a stockholder activist group announced that it intends to file a preliminary proxy statement and accompanying WHITE universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission to be used to solicit votes for the election of director nominees at our next annual meeting of stockholders. Activist stockholder activities could adversely affect our business because responding to proxy contests and reacting to other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of management and our employees. We have or in the future may retain the services of various professionals to advise us on activist stockholder matters, including legal, financial, strategic and communication advisors, the costs of which may negatively impact our future financial results. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy or leadership created as a consequence of activist stockholders' initiatives may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, business partners, and employees, and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility or stagnation. On May 9, 2024, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with this stockholder group pursuant to which Elena Piliptchak was appointed to our board of directors, effective immediately, as a Class III director with a term expiring at Presidio's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In connection with this appointment, our board of directors has been increased from six to seven directors. Pursuant to the agreement, the stockholder group agreed to withdraw the director nominations it had previously submitted and  support our board's slate of directors at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on June 27, 2024. The stockholder group has also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions and voting commitments. We have evaluated this contingency and have determined a material loss is not probable or estimable at this time.
 
Litigation. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits or legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of the Company's properties are presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is there any material threatened litigation.
 

Environmental matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that the Company believes would require additional disclosure or recording of a loss contingency.

 

Financial Markets. The Company monitors concerns over economic recession, interest rate increases, policy priorities of the U.S. presidential administration, trade wars, labor shortages, and inflation, any of which  may contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and markets. Additionally, the economic and geopolitical ramifications of the military conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, including sanctions, retaliatory sanctions, nationalism, supply chain disruptions and other consequences,   could impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates, and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing our loan investments. We have not currently experienced a direct material impact to our Company or operations; however, we will continue to monitor the financial markets for events that could impact our commercial real estate properties.
