We have seen a notable decline in GIPR's share price recently. We believe that this has been driven primarily by large block trades executed over a short period by, what we believe to be, our former largest shareholder, who appears to have sold either all or a substantial portion of their holdings based on information available to us. This shareholder acquired their shares in the Modiv Industrial REIT (NYSE: MDV) transaction we completed in 2023, so they did not actually purchase GIPR shares in a traditional cash transaction. With that, we believe that the vast majority of MDV shareholders, at least the largest ones, may no longer be significant shareholders of GIPR.
While shareholder transactions are outside of our control, the size and speed of these recent trades created short-term market pressure on the stock. As a result of these changes in ownership, at last look, I am now the second largest shareholder of GIPR and continue to be the most financially exposed individual to the company's performance-aligning my interests directly with all shareholders.
Personal Financial Commitment
While I have previously outlined portions of my personal financial exposure to Generation Income Properties, it's important that, during this market, I am more emphatic about this topic. My exposure to GIPR is significant, encompassing the shares I have both purchased and been granted, as well as the personal guarantees I have undertaken to secure the most favorable loan rates and terms possible for a company of our size. I have also contributed personal cash to the company at various times to ensure short-term cash flow needs were met without placing an additional burden on shareholders. In addition, I have deferred substantial portions of my compensation in order to preserve liquidity and help the company navigate the challenging capital markets environment we face today. These actions were taken with one objective in mind - to protect shareholders while providing every opportunity possible to get through this period.
