Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, as the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, manager, agents or employees.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and, as a result, qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Our shareholders will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Most of our revenues are derived from our provision of management services to a limited number of companies. The loss or decline in business or assets of any of the Managed Equity REITs or clients comprising a significant part of our Private Capital business could substantially reduce our revenues.
