The proxy fight is escalating: preferred holders have demanded a special trustee election and the Trust is asking common shareholders to give up their vote on future preferred-stock amendments (Proposal 3). If Proposal 3 passes, the path to a dilutive preferred-to-common conversion becomes easier without a second common vote. Watch the October 27 annual meeting vote outcome on Proposal 3 and whether the Trust finally schedules the preferred-stock special meeting for trustee election — both are key catalysts for the capital structure cleanup and delisting risk.

Executive Summary
Power REIT's 2026 definitive proxy statement seeks common shareholder approval for a governance amendment (Proposal 3) that would grant Series A Preferred Stock holders the exclusive right to approve future amendments to the Declaration of Trust affecting only their contract rights, including a potential future conversion of preferred shares into common shares on terms not yet determined. This comes amid an active activist campaign by preferred holders (Bradley & Daytona, Alexander Kachmar, Henry Posner III) who have demanded a special meeting to elect two additional trustees due to unpaid dividends for over six quarters, and the company faces NYSE American delisting risk from low market capitalization. CEO David Lesser received $150,000 salary in 2025 (unchanged from 2024), the Trust reported a net loss of -$2.2 million in 2025, and common shareholder TSR was $22.28 per $100 invested (down from $33.67 in 2024).
Key Facts
- Proposal 3 seeks to give Series A Preferred holders exclusive voting rights on future amendments affecting only their contract rights, enabling a potential conversion to common shares without a further common shareholder vote.
- The Trust reported a net loss of -$2.2 million in 2025 (improved from -$24.7 million in 2024), but cumulative TSR declined to $22.28 per $100 invested from $33.67 in 2024.
- CEO David Lesser's total compensation was $150,000 in 2025 (all salary, no bonus or equity), unchanged from 2024.
- The Trust has not paid dividends on Series A Preferred Stock for six or more quarterly periods, triggering preferred holders' right to elect two additional trustees.
- Activist preferred holders (Bradley & Daytona, Alexander Kachmar, Henry Posner III, Saquib Fasih Toor) collectively own over 10% of Series A Preferred Stock and have demanded a special meeting to elect two additional trustees, which the Trust has not yet held.
- The Trust faces NYSE American delisting risk due to low market capitalization and is 'bumping up against' existing equity-based listing requirements.
- Common shares outstanding: 367,120 as of September 11, 2026 record date.
- Audit fees paid to MaloneBailey: $242,550 in 2025, up from $201,331 in 2024.
- No shareholder proposals were submitted for the 2026 annual meeting.
Financial Impact
Net loss of -$2.2 million in 2025; CEO salary $150,000; audit fees $242,550; no dividends paid on common or preferred shares.
Risk Factors
- Potential dilution to common shareholders if Series A Preferred Stock is converted into common shares on terms not yet determined.
- NYSE American delisting risk if market capitalization remains below thresholds, which could trigger a forced conversion of preferred shares and further dilute common holders.
- Activist preferred holders may gain board seats through the special election process, potentially shifting control dynamics.
- Proposal 3 permanently shifts governance rights away from common shareholders to preferred holders for future amendments affecting only preferred stock contract rights.
- No assurance that any future capital structure cleanup will preserve the NYSE American listing or improve access to capital.
