The 2026 Exchange is a routine step in a pre-announced multi-year acquisition plan and does not represent new capital raising or a change in strategy. Monitor for future exchanges that could further increase ownership and dilute common shareholders. The Class D Units create a known future dilution path of up to ~2.4M shares.
