4. What is the difference between holding shares as a
shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner through a
broker?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our
transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, you are
considered the shareholder of record for those shares. If
your shares are held in a brokerage account, you are
considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares allocated to
your individual brokerage account but held under the
brokerage firm’s name.

What is a Medallion Signature Guarantee?
This is required to guarantee the signature of the
registered shareholder whenever the shareholder decides to
transfer registered shares of stock. The institution
processing the transfer must have some guarantee that the
shareholder is authorized to transfer the shares of stock.
The application of a Medallion Signature Guarantee provides
the authentication of the guarantor that the endorser of the
stock certificate is the registered owner and has the legal
authority to sign the certificate. Most major banks and
brokerage firms are members of this program and serve as
guarantors. This protects the shareholder, any buyer of the
shares, the issuing company, and any transfer agent for the
issuing company.

13. What is a
net lease property?
A net lease requires the tenant of a property to bear most
of the expenses associated with ownership of the property.
These expenses usually include repairs, common area
maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities, and insurance. On
some of the net lease properties, the Company is responsible
for major structural items, such as replacement of the roof
and repaving of the parking lot. In these cases, the Company
sets up reserves. These types of leases reduce fluctuations
in operating costs. All of the Company’s income properties
are net lease and are typically triple-net or double-net
leases.
RETURN TO TOP
14. What is the usual term of the net lease properties?
The Company’s net-lease properties are long-term leases,
usually 15-25 years with options to extend, with creditable
tenants; for example, tenants of our current income
properties include Walgreen, Barnes & Noble, CVS, Lowe’s,
RBC Centura Bank, and Northern Tool and Equipment.

15. What is a
“1031 exchange?”
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code generally permits
income tax deferral when investment property or property
used in a trade or business is exchanged for “like kind”
property as long as the exchange is completed within 180
days of the transfer of the exchanged property. These
exchanges are known as “like kind exchanges” or “1031
tax-free exchanges.” The primary benefit of a 1031 exchange
is the deferral of income taxes on capital gains during
ownership of the exchanged property.
