Executive Summary
UMH Properties, Inc. announced the retirement of CFO Anna T. Chew effective June 1, 2026, after 35 years with the company, and the appointment of Kevin S. Miller as her successor.

Key Facts
- CFO Anna T. Chew retires effective June 1, 2026 after 35 years (31 as CFO); remains as advisor and board member
- Kevin S. Miller appointed as successor CFO, effective June 1, 2026; CPA with prior CFO roles at UMH OZ Fund and Monmouth REIT
- Miller's annual base compensation set at $430,000; employment agreement still being negotiated
- Retirement is not the result of any disagreements over financial policies, accounting principles, or disclosures

Risk Factors
- New CFO lacks direct REIT CFO experience at the parent level (though has relevant background)
- Employment agreement not yet finalized — terms could include change-in-control provisions or severance that may surface later
