TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

We are providing you with this Proxy Statement, which contains information about the items to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting. To make this information easier to understand, we have presented some of the information in a question-and-answer format.

When is the Annual Meeting and where will it be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held on June 2, 2026 commencing at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only and can be accessed online at meetnow.global/ MLJAF4H. There is no physical location for the Annual Meeting. In order to attend the virtual meeting, you will need your control number. Your control number will be supplied to you via your Notice of Availability, proxy card or voting instructions form. At the Annual Meeting you will be allowed to vote your shares within the online portal, as well as to submit questions through the online portal. The online portal will open 15 minutes before the beginning of the Annual Meeting. If you have any technical disruptions or connectivity issues during the Annual Meeting, please allow for some time for the meeting website to refresh automatically, or for the meeting operator to provide updates.

If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares and you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance.

To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your American Strategic Investment Co. holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 28, 2026 (3 business days in advance of the meeting).

You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials.

Computershare
COMPANY Legal Proxy
P.O. Box 43001
Providence, RI 02940-3001

Registered stockholders as of the close of business on April 10, 2026, the record date (the “Record Date”) may register to participate in the Annual Meeting remotely by visiting the website www.envisionreports.com/NYC. Please have your voting instruction form or other communication containing your control number available and follow the instructions to complete your registration request.

Why did you send me these Proxy Materials?

You are receiving these materials because you owned shares of our Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as a “registered” stockholder or you held shares of Common Stock in “street name” as of the close of business on the Record Date for the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement contains information related to the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting.

We had 2,692,941 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

This solicitation of proxies is made by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. Under applicable

TABLE OF CONTENTS

regulations of the SEC, each of our directors and director nominees, and certain of our officers, may solicit proxies and are “participants” in this proxy solicitation on behalf of the Board. For more information about our directors and executive officers, please see “Board of Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” beginning on page 7 of this Proxy Statement. Other than the persons described in this Proxy Statement, no regular employees of our advisor, New York City Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), will solicit stockholders in connection with this proxy solicitation. However, in the course of their regular duties, certain administrative personnel may be asked to perform clerical or ministerial tasks in the furtherance of this solicitation.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is a person who votes the shares of stock of another person who could not attend a meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the proxy card or other method of appointing a proxy. By submitting your proxy to us, you are appointing Nicholas S. Schorsch, Jr. and Michael LeSanto, each of whom are executive officers of the Company, as your proxies, and you are giving them permission to vote your shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting.

What am I being asked to vote on at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon:

•

the election of Louis P. DiPalma and Edward M. Weil, Jr. as Class III directors to serve until our 2029 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2029 Annual Meeting”) and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify;

•

the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026;

•

the adoption of a non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation as described herein; and

•

the transaction of such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

Anyone who is a holder of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date or who holds a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting, is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date entitles the holder to one vote.

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers or other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the election of directors or for the approval of other matters which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules determine to be “non-routine,” without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. Thus, beneficial owners of shares held in broker accounts are advised that, if they do not timely provide instructions to their broker, their shares will only be voted at the Annual Meeting in connection with the proposal to ratify the appointment of CBIZ, which is a “routine” matter for purposes of broker discretionary authority. Even without these instructions, the shares of stock of beneficial owners will be treated as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum if the broker votes shares on the proposal to ratify the appointment of CBIZ.

What constitutes a “quorum”?

If holders of a majority of shares of our outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date are present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, we will have a quorum present, permitting the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, to the extent any broker non-votes exist, will be counted to determine whether a quorum is present.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on each proposal?

The Board of Directors recommends you vote:

•

“FOR” the election of Louis P. DiPalma and Edward M. Weil, Jr. as Class III directors;

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026; and

•

“FOR” the non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation.

How do I vote?

Stockholders can vote in person at the meeting via webcast or by authorizing a proxy. Stockholders have the following three options for authorizing a proxy to vote their shares:

•

via the Internet at www.envisionreports.com/NYC;

•

by telephone, for automated voting (800) 652-8683 at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026 by following the instructions provided on the proxy card; or

•

if you requested a printed set of proxy materials, by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card.

For those registered stockholders with Internet access, we encourage you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares via the Internet, because it is quick, convenient and provides a cost savings to us. Authorizing a proxy to vote your shares by following the instructions on the Notice of Availability or the proxy card prior to the meeting date will ensure that your vote is recorded immediately and avoid postal delays that my cause your proxy to arrive late in which case your vote will not be counted.

If you are a registered stockholder and elect to attend the Annual Meeting, you can submit your vote during the Annual Meeting within the online portal, and any previous proxy that you authorized by following the instructions on the Notice of Availability or proxy card, will be superseded. To attend the Annual Meeting, you will need your control number.

Street Name Stockholders. If you are the beneficial owner of shares (that is, you held your shares in “street name” through an intermediary such as a broker, bank or other nominee) as of the close of business on the Record Date, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares or submit a proxy to have your shares voted. In most cases, you will be able to submit a proxy to vote your shares by mail or via the Internet, or possibly by telephone depending on the broker’s procedures. As discussed herein, your broker, bank or other nominee may not be able to vote your shares on certain matters including the election of directors unless you provide instructions on how to vote your shares. You should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the directions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.

What if I submit my proxy and then change my mind?

Registered Stockholder. If you are a registered stockholder, you have the right to change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by:

•

notifying our Secretary, in writing at American Strategic Investment Co., 222 Bellevue Ave., Newport, Rhode Island 02840, Attention: Secretary, prior to the Annual Meeting;

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person;

•

returning another proxy card dated after your first or prior proxy card; or

•

authorizing a new proxy via the Internet to vote your shares.

Merely attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy, you must cast a vote at the Annual Meeting following the instructions you receive upon registration. Only the most recent proxy or vote we receive before or during the Annual Meeting will be counted and all others will be discarded regardless of the method of voting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Street Name Stockholders. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares but not a registered stockholder, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Will my vote make a difference?

Yes. Shares of our Common Stock are widely-held. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT! Your immediate response will help avoid potential delays and may save us significant additional expenses associated with soliciting stockholder votes.

What are the voting requirements for the proposals?

Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors. The election of the nominees for director requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of all of the votes cast at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present, in person via webcast or by proxy. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our directors. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. For purposes of this proposal, withhold votes and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, but will be considered present for quorum purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Proposal No. 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this proposal, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote on this proposal, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because brokers have discretionary voting authority with regard to this proposal we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

Proposal No. 3 — Non-Binding Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because this proposal is an advisory vote, the result will not be binding on the Board or the Company. Our obligation to reimburse our Advisor for amounts incurred by the Advisor for salaries, bonuses or benefits of certain of our named executive officers is governed by the terms of the advisory agreement with the Advisor, which does not expire until July 2030, and cannot be amended except with the mutual consent of the parties.

How will proxies be voted?

Shares of Common Stock represented by valid proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given. If the proxy card is signed and returned without any directions, the shares will be voted (1) “FOR” the election of Louis P. DiPalma and Edward M. Weil, Jr. as Class III director, to serve until our 2029 Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify, (2) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026, and (3) “FOR” the non-binding advisory resolution regarding executive compensation.

The Board does not intend to present, and has no information indicating that others will present, any business at the Annual Meeting other than as set forth in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If other matters requiring the vote of our stockholders properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card intend to vote the proxies held by them in their discretion.

When are the stockholder proposals for the next annual meeting of stockholders due?

Stockholders interested in nominating a person for election as a director or presenting any other business for consideration at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) may do so by following the procedures prescribed in our Bylaws and, in the case of proposals or nominations within

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the scope of Rule 14a-8 or Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by following the procedures specified by those rules. For additional information, including deadlines applicable to the 2027 Annual Meeting see “Stockholder Proposals for the 2027 Annual Meeting.”

Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting on behalf of our Board of Directors. We have engaged Computershare (“Computershare”) to, among other things, assist us in distributing and soliciting proxies. We expect to pay Computershare aggregate fees of approximately $30,000 to distribute proxies plus other fees and expenses for other services related to this proxy distribution, including disseminating broker search cards; distributing proxy materials; operating online and telephone voting systems; and receiving executed proxies. We will reimburse brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to the extent they forward proxy materials to our stockholders.

Where can I find more information?

You may access, read and print copies of the proxy materials for this year’s Annual Meeting, including this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Availability, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, form of proxy card, and 2025 Annual Report, at the following websites: registered stockholders can access proxy materials at www.envisionreports.com/NYC and beneficial holders can access proxy materials at www.edocumentview.com/NYC.

Since you received a Notice of Availability, you will not receive printed copies of the proxy statement and proxy card unless you request them by following the instructions on the Notice of Availability or provided by your broker, bank or nominee. The Notice of Availability will instruct you as to how you may access and review the proxy statement and vote your proxy.

Some of your shares of Common Stock may be registered differently or held in a different account. You should vote the shares in each of your accounts by one of the methods described herein. If you mail proxy cards, please sign, date and return each proxy card to guarantee that all your shares of Common Stock are voted. The SEC has adopted a rule concerning the delivery of documents filed by us with the SEC, including proxy statements and annual reports. The rule allows us to, among other things, send a single set of any proxy statement, annual report, notices or information statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they share the same address. This procedure is referred to as “Householding.” This rule benefits both you and us by reducing the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps us reduce expenses. Each stockholder subject to Householding will continue to have a separate stockholder identification number and receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card.

We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of our 2025 Annual Report and this Proxy Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy was previously delivered. If you have any questions about this Proxy Statement or the Annual Meeting or if you received a single set of disclosure documents for this year, but you would prefer to receive your own copy, you may direct requests for separate copies by calling our Investor Relations department at (866) 902-0063 or mail us a request to American Strategic Investment Co., 222 Bellevue Ave., Newport, Rhode Island 02840, Attention: Investor Relations. Our email address is investorrelations@ar-global.com. Our website is www.americanstrategicinvestment.com.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any reports, statements or other information we file with the SEC on the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors. Each director serves until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. At the Annual Meeting, two Class III directors will be elected to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. The number of directors in each class may be changed from time to time by the Board to reflect matters such as an increase or decrease in the number of directors so that each class, to the extent possible, will have the same number of directors. Our Bylaws stipulate that the number of directors may not be less than one, which is the minimum number required by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), or more than 15. The number of directors on our Board is currently fixed at four persons. At any time that the number of directors comprising the Board is less than five, one director must be a managing director. A “managing director” means an individual identified by the Advisor or, in the absence of such identification, the individual then serving as chief executive officer. At any time that the number of directors comprising the Board is five or more, up to two directors shall be managing directors; provided, however, that, if only one managing director is identified by the Advisor, the Board will include one managing director. To qualify for nomination or election as a director, an individual at the time of nomination and election must meet the qualifications of an independent director or managing director, as the case may be, depending on the position for which such individual may be nominated or elected. An “independent director” means an individual who meets the qualifications of an independent director set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, as amended from time to time. Our Board is comprised of three persons who are “independent directors” and one who is a “managing director.” Our corporate governance guidelines require a majority of our directors to be “independent directors” as that term is defined in the rules of the NYSE and the applicable rules of the SEC. Any director of the Company may resign at any time by delivering his or her resignation to the Board, the chairman of the Board or the secretary. Any resignation will take effect immediately upon its receipt or at such later time specified in the resignation. The acceptance of a resignation will not be necessary to make it effective unless otherwise stated in the resignation.

The lead independent director chairs meetings or executive sessions of the independent directors, reviews and comments on meeting agendas of the Board of Directors, represents the views of the independent directors to the Advisor, facilitates communication among the independent directors and between the Advisor and the independent directors, acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and other directors generally between meetings, serves as a representative and speaks on behalf of the Company at external seminars, conferences, in the media and otherwise, and otherwise assumes such responsibilities as may be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with the elements of independence set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE, the Exchange Act and applicable SEC rules.

The term “managing director” is defined under the Bylaws as an individual identified by the Advisor or, if not identified, the individual serving as the Company’s chief executive officer. Mr. Weil is identified by the Advisor as a managing director.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the compensation committee is or ever has been an officer or employee of the Company and no member of the compensation committee had any relationships during 2025 requiring disclosure by us under the SEC’s rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related-party transactions. No executive officer serves as a member of a board of trustees or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of the board or compensation committee. Accordingly, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 there were no interlocks with other companies within the meaning of the SEC’s proxy rules.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

We are an externally managed Maryland corporation and do not have any employees. We do not employ our named executive officers (“NEOs”), have agreements with them regarding their compensation or otherwise determine the compensation earned by, or paid to, them with the exception of awards to our NEOs under the 2020 Equity Plan. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day business with the assistance of our Property Manager, and affiliates of the Advisor employ the persons who provide these services, including our NEOs. We pay the Advisor and the Property Manager certain fees and reimburse them for certain expenses as required by the terms of our agreements with them. For further details regarding our arrangements with the Advisor, the Property Manager and their affiliates, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

AR Global, the parent company of the Advisor, determines the salaries, bonuses and other benefits earned by, or paid to, our NEOs. Our advisory agreement does not require our NEOs to dedicate a specific amount of time to fulfill their obligations or those of the Advisor and its affiliates or specify an amount or percentage of the amounts we pay to the Advisor or its affiliates that must be allocated to compensating our NEOs. While Mr. Schorsch, our chief executive officer, may, in his capacity as the Chief Operating Officer of AR Global, participate in AR Global’s process for determining the compensation earned by, or paid to, our NEOs by the Advisor or its affiliates, but neither our Board nor our compensation committee is involved with, or consulted regarding, this process. We are required by the terms of our advisory agreement to reimburse the Advisor for salaries, wages (including bonuses) and benefits of certain of our NEOs, subject to certain limits described in more detail below.

Expense Reimbursements

We are required by the terms of our advisory agreement to reimburse the Advisor for salaries, wages (including bonuses) and benefits of employees of the Advisor or its affiliates involved in providing services to us, subject to certain limits. Specifically, the aggregate amount of all reimbursements for salaries, wages and benefits for employees of the Advisor or its affiliates (including our executive officers) must be comparable to market rates and reimbursements may not exceed, in any fiscal year, the lesser of (a) $2,971,969, and (b) if the amount actually paid or allocated by us with respect to the assets we have acquired plus all cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other tangible assets held and recorded on our balance sheet of the Company is equal to or greater than $1.25 billion as of the last day of the fiscal year, that amount multiplied by 0.30% (the “Advisor Employee Compensation Limit”). The Advisor Employee Compensation Limit will be further increased by an annual cost of living adjustment equal to the Advisor Employee Compensation Limit (as determined above) multiplied by the greater of (x) 3.0% and (y) the Consumer Price Index for the prior year ended December 31st.

Other Compensation

The compensation committee is responsible for approving and evaluating all compensation plans, policies and programs affecting our executive officers including any compensation plans, policies and programs we may adopt in the future. The compensation committee must also approve any awards granted under these plans to our NEOs. An aggregate of 19,998 restricted shares were granted to our NEOs during the year ended December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued 43,427 restricted shares to employees of the Advisor (including our executive officers) under the Individual Plan.

In 2020, FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”) was engaged by the Company to make recommendations to the Board and the compensation committee on the 2021 OPP. Neither FTI nor any other compensation consultant played any role on any matters related to the Company’s NEOs during 2025 or any prior period.

Clawback Policy

The Company maintains a Clawback Policy, which is designed to comply with Section 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. The Clawback Policy requires the Company to recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by certain executives, including each NEO, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The Clawback Policy generally applies to all incentive-based compensation received by a covered executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare a restatement after the policy’s effective date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Policies and Practices Related to Risk Management

The compensation committee has determined that none of the Company’s compensation policies and practices create any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Compensation of Directors

We pay our independent directors the fees described below. We do not pay compensation for services rendered by persons who serve as directors and are also employees of the Company, the Advisor or any of their affiliates. We reimburse all of our directors for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board or committee meetings.

We pay our independent directors a yearly retainer of $30,000 and an additional yearly retainer of $55,000 for the lead independent director; $2,000 for each meeting of the Board or any committee attended by the directors ($2,500 for attendance by the chairperson of the audit committee at each meeting of the audit committee) and $1,500 for each meeting attended via telephone; $750 per transaction reviewed and voted upon electronically up to a maximum of $2,250 for three or more transactions reviewed and voted upon per electronic vote. If there are a Board meeting and one or more committee meetings in one day, the director’s fees may not exceed $2,500 ($3,000 for the chairperson of the audit committee if there is a meeting of such committee). We may issue shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by our directors, at each director’s election. The shares of Common Stock issued are not subject to vesting provisions because these payments, in lieu of cash, are related to fees earned for services performed.

We award each independent director restricted shares with a market value of $65,000 determined at the time of issuance after each annual meeting of stockholders. The restricted shares vest over a five-year period on each anniversary of the issuance in increments of 20% per annum.

We also pay each independent director for each external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event attended in person and in which the independent director actively participates, solely in such person’s capacity as an independent director of the Company, in the following amounts:

•

$2,500 for each day of an external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event that does not exceed four hours, or

•

$5,000 for each day of an external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event that exceeds four hours.

In either of the above cases, we will reimburse, to the extent not otherwise reimbursed, an independent director’s reasonable expenses associated with attending external seminars, conferences, panels, forums or other industry-related events. An independent director cannot be paid or reimbursed for attendance at a single external seminar, conference, panel, forum or other industry-related event by us and another company for which he or she is a director.

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation of our directors paid during the year ended December 31, 2025:

Share-Based Compensation

The Advisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Awards under the Individual Plan may be made to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees, officers and directors of the Advisor and as a general matter, employees and consultants of affiliates of the Advisor that provide services to the Company. Awards under the Advisor Plan may only be granted to the Advisor and its affiliates.

Under the 2020 Equity Plan, the Company may award RSUs, stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, LTIP Units and other equity awards. The 2020 Equity Plan has a term of ten years, expiring August 18, 2030. The number of shares of the Company’s capital stock that may be issued or subject to awards under the 2020 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 20.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis at any time. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a one-for-one basis and vice versa.

AR Global indirectly owns all of the membership interests. The Property Manager is owned and controlled directly or indirectly by AR Global. Mr. Weil, one of our directors, has a non-controlling interest in the parent of AR Global.

Advisor

The Advisor manages our day-to-day operations pursuant to the advisory agreement with the Advisor. The initial term of the advisory agreement ends in July 2030, and will automatically renew for successive five-year terms unless either party gives written notice of its election not to renew at least 180 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date. We may only elect not to renew the advisory agreement on this basis with the prior approval of at least two-thirds of our independent directors, and no change of control fee (as defined in the advisory agreement) is payable if we make this election.

Asset Management Fees and Variable Management/Incentive Fees

We pay the Advisor a base asset management fee on the first business day of each month equal to (x) $0.5 million plus (y) a variable amount equal to (a) 1.25% of the equity proceeds received after November 16, 2018, divided by (b) 12. Equity proceeds are defined as, with respect to any period, cumulative net proceeds of all common and preferred equity and equity-linked securities issued by the Company and its subsidiaries during the period, including: (i) any equity issued in exchange or conversion of exchangeable notes based on the stock price at the date of issuance and convertible equity; (ii) any other issuances of equity, including but not limited to units in our New York City Operating Partnership L.P., our operating partnership (the “OP”) (excluding equity-based compensation but including issuances related to an acquisition, investment, joint-venture or partnership); and (iii) any cumulative Core Earnings (as defined in the advisory agreement) in excess of cumulative distributions paid on our Common Stock since November 16, 2018, the effective date of the most recent amendment and restatement of the advisory agreement.

We also pay the Advisor an incentive variable management fee, payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company achieving certain amounts of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share (as defined in the advisory agreement) on a quarterly basis. The quarterly thresholds of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share are $1.17 and $1.56 per share, respectively. No incentive variable management fees were earned in the years ended December 31, 2025.

Both the base asset management fee and variable management fee are payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, units of limited partnership interest in the OP or a combination thereof, at the Advisor’s election.

From February 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, the Advisor was paid in cash for the base asset management fee. The Advisor was also paid cash for its management fee for January and February 2024. The Advisor elected to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash in respect of its asset management fee for March, April and May 2024. As a result, in March 2024, the Company issued to the Advisor 70,607 shares of Common Stock for the monthly base asset management fee, 68,308 shares of Common Stock in April and 85,543 shares of Common Stock in May. The Advisor was paid cash for its management fee for the period of June 2024 through December 2025.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid base asset management fees in cash of $6.1 and $6.1 million, respectively. No variable management fees were paid during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Amendment to Rights Agreement and Waiver Agreement

TABLE OF CONTENTS

existing limit imposed on purchases by Bellevue Capital and its affiliates including future issuances of Common Stock issued in lieu of the Company paying cash to the Advisor for asset management services. Bellevue Capital, the Advisor and other affiliates or person related to Bellevue Capital have granted an irrevocable proxy to the Company pursuant to which the Company has the right to vote any shares owned by these persons or entities in excess of 34.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in the same proportion as all other shares voted by the Company’s stockholders.

Side Letter With the Advisor

On February 4, 2022, the Company and the Advisor entered into a side letter (the “Side Letter”) to the advisory agreement pursuant to which the Advisor agreed, from the date of the Side Letter until August 4, 2022, to immediately invest all fees received by the Advisor under Section 10(c)(i)-(ii) of the advisory agreement in shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), in an amount aggregating no more than $3.0 million. The price of the Shares was determined, at each issuance, in accordance with Section 10(c)(iii) of the advisory agreement and was not less than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Section 312.04(h) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (the “Listed Company Manual”), which minimum price was $84.40 per share. The Advisor’s obligation to invest its fee in Shares under the Side Letter was in consideration of, and subject to, the provisions of the Waiver Agreements (defined below). In addition, the Company was not required to issue any Shares under the Side Letter if doing so would have required the Company to seek stockholder approval under Section 312 of the Listed Company Manual or any subsequent rules and regulations of the NYSE.

On February 4, 2022, concurrently with the execution of the Side Letter, the Board granted (i) a waiver from the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, as defined and contained in Section 5.7 of the Company’s charter, to permit each of Bellevue Capital, the Advisor, entities controlled by Bellevue Capital, Edward M. Weil. Jr, who is a director of the Company, an officer of the Advisor and a holder of a non-controlling interest in Bellevue, and their respective affiliates and certain other entities and individuals who would be treated as Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning (each as defined our charter) Shares held by either or both of Bellevue Capital and the Advisor, including Mr. Weil, to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in an amount up to 20% of the outstanding Shares (subject to certain constraints for each such entity and individual on the total actual ownership of Shares by such entities and individuals), to the extent and on the terms set forth in each ownership limit waiver agreement (collectively, the “Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements”); and (ii) a waiver from the provisions contained in Section 1.1 of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated August 17, 2020 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated August 12, 2021, the “Rights Plan”), to permit each party to the Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements to Beneficially Own (as defined in the Rights Plan) Shares to the maximum extent allowed by the Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements without being deemed an “Acquiring Person” under Section 1.1 of the Rights Plan, subject to the terms set forth in the rights plan waiver agreement (the “Rights Plan Waiver Agreement,” and together with the Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements, the “Waiver Agreements”).

On August 10, 2022, the Company (1) amended the Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements to (i) immediately increase the Excepted Holder Limit (as defined therein) to 21%, and (ii) increase the Excepted Holder Limit to up to 25% upon conditions precedent being satisfied to increase the Excepted Holder Limit to up to 25% (the “Charter Waiver Agreement Amendments”), and (2) amended the Rights Plan Waiver Agreement to implement corresponding changes. Concurrent with these amendments, the Board reduced the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit to 6% for all stockholders of the Company other than Bellevue Capital, the Advisor, their respective affiliates or persons who would be treated as Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning shares of Common Stock held by either or both of Bellevue Capital and the Advisor (the “Excluded Persons”). The terms and conditions of the Charter Ownership Limit Waiver Agreements entered into with each of these entities or individuals are the same except for the actual number of Shares the entities or individuals may own or acquire. All other terms and conditions contained in the Company’s charter will otherwise continue to apply to the Shares that the entities or individuals may own or acquire.

As a consequence of the Company’s decision to terminate our election to be taxed as a REIT, the ownership limitations set forth in Section 5.7 of the Company’s charter, including, without limitation, the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, no longer apply.

Management Fee Expense

The Company recorded expense of $6.1 million for base asset management fees during the year ended December 31, 2025. No variable management fees were incurred.

Property Management Fees

Pursuant to the Property Management and Leasing Agreement (the “PMA”), as amended, except in certain cases where the Company contracted with a third party, the Company pays the Property Manager a property management fee equal to: (i) for non-hotel properties, 3.25% of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions; and (ii) for hotel properties, a market-based fee based on a percentage of gross revenues. The term of the PMA is coterminous with the term of the advisory agreement.

Pursuant to the PMA, the Company reimburses the Property Manager for property-level expenses. These reimbursements are not limited in amount and may include reasonable salaries, bonuses, and benefits of individuals employed by the Property Manager, except for the salaries, bonuses, and benefits of individuals who also serve as one of the Company’s executive officers or as an executive officer of the Property Manager or any of its affiliates. The Property Manager may also subcontract the performance of its property management and leasing services duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services.

On April 13, 2018, in connection with the loan for its 400 E. 67th Street — Laurel Condominium and 200 Riverside Boulevard properties the Company entered into a new property management agreement with the Property Manager (the “April 2018 PMA”) to manage the properties secured by the loan. With respect to these properties, the substantive terms of the April 2018 PMA are identical to the terms of the PMA, except that the property management fee for non-hotel properties is 4.0% of gross revenues from the properties managed, plus market-based leasing commissions. The April 2018 PMA has an initial term of one year that is automatically extended for an unlimited number of successive one-year terms at the end of each year unless any party gives 60 days’ written notice to the other parties of its intention to terminate.

The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million in property management fees during the year ended December 31, 2025.

On March 29, 2024, the Company, the OP and the Property Manager entered into the Third Amendment to the Property Management and Leasing Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment provides that the Property Manager may elect to receive any fees payable in cash, OP Units, shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination thereof.

Professional Fees and Other Reimbursements

We are required to pay directly or reimburse the Advisor monthly in arrears, for all the expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in connection with the services it provides to us under the advisory agreement, subject to the following limitations:

•

With respect to administrative and overhead expenses of the Advisor, including administrative and overhead expenses of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates directly or indirectly involved in the performance of services but not including their salaries, wages, and benefits, these costs may not exceed in any fiscal year,

(i)

$0.4 million, or

(ii)

if the Asset Cost (as defined in the advisory agreement) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the month is equal to or greater than $1.25 billion, (x) the Asset Cost as of the last day of the fiscal quarter multiplied by (y) 0.10%.

•

With respect to the salaries, wages, and benefits of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates directly or indirectly involved in the performance of services (which may include the Company’s executive officers), these amounts must be comparable to market rates and reimbursements may not exceed, in any fiscal year,

(i)

$2,971,969, or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii)

if the Asset Cost as of the last day of the fiscal year is equal to or greater than $1.25 billion, (x) the Asset Cost as of the last day of the fiscal year multiplied by (y) 0.30%.

On March 29, 2024, we, the OP and the Advisor entered into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the limit on the salaries, wages, and benefits of all employees of the Advisor or its affiliates directly or indirectly involved in the performance of services (including our executive officers) to the lesser of (i) $2,971,969 or (ii) if the Asset Cost as of the last day of such fiscal year is equal to or greater than $1.25 billion, (x) the Asset Cost as of the last day of such fiscal year multiplied by (y) 0.30%. The Second Amendment further provides that Advisor Employee Compensation Limit will be further increased by an annual cost of living adjustment equal to the Advisor Employee Compensation Limit (as determined above) multiplied by the greater of (x) 3.0% and (y) the Consumer Price Index for the prior year ended December 31st. The Second Amendment also provides that our Advisor may elect to receive any expense reimbursement amounts in cash, OP Units, shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination thereof.

Professional fees and other reimbursements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $4.9 million. These amounts include reimbursements to the Advisor for administrative, overhead and personnel services, which are subject to the limits noted above, as well as costs associated with directors and officers insurance which are not subject to those limits.

The amount of expenses included within professional fees and other reimbursements related to administrative, overhead and personnel services provided by and reimbursed to the Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $3.4 million, of which $0.4 million related to administrative and overhead expenses and $3.0 million were for salaries, wages, and benefits.

The following table details amounts incurred, waived and payable in connection with the Company’s operations-related services described above as of and for the periods presented:

Termination Payments

The advisory agreement requires the Company to pay a termination fee to the Advisor if the advisory agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the initial term in certain limited scenarios. The termination fee will be payable to the Advisor if either the Company or the Advisor exercises the right to terminate the advisory agreement in connection with the consummation of the first “change of control” (as defined in the advisory agreement). The termination fee is equal to $15.0 million plus an amount equal to the product of: (i) four multiplied by (ii) applicable Subject Fees (as defined in the advisory agreement). The “Subject Fees” are equal to: (i) the product of (a) 12, multiplied by (b) the actual base management fee for the month immediately prior to the month in which the advisory agreement is terminated, plus (ii) the product of (x) four multiplied by (y) the actual variable management fee for the quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the advisory agreement is terminated, plus (iii) without duplication, the annual increase in the base management fee resulting from the cumulative net proceeds of any equity issued by the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the fiscal quarter immediately prior to the fiscal quarter in which the advisory agreement is terminated.

In connection with the termination or expiration of the advisory agreement, the Advisor will be entitled to receive (in addition to any termination fee) all amounts then accrued and owing to the Advisor, including an amount equal to then-present fair market value of its shares of Common Stock and interest in the OP.

Indemnification Obligations

Subject to conditions and exceptions, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor and its affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, partners and employees, from and against all losses, claims, damages, or losses and related expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising in the performance of their duties under the advisory agreement.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with the Advisor and certain of its affiliates, each of our directors and officers, and certain former directors and officers, providing that we will indemnify them to the extent permitted by Maryland law and advance expenses to them in connection with claims or liability they may become subject to due to their service to us consistent with the provisions of Maryland law.

There have been no complaints, the Advisor has not made any requests and we have not paid the Advisor or any of its affiliates for any amounts pursuant to these obligations through the date of this Proxy Statement.

Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures

Every transaction that we enter into with the Advisor or its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our Board of Directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any of these entities in the event of a default by or disagreement with or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and the Advisor or any of its affiliates.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating all related party transactions. All related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and during the period from January 1, 2026 through the date of this Proxy Statement were approved in accordance with the applicable Company policies consistent with the nominating and corporate governance committee charter, as applicable. Either our nominating and corporate governance committee or the independent directors acting as a group or as a special committee, has determined that each related party transaction was in the best interests of the Company. See “Board of Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.”

In addition, the advisory agreement limits our ability to enter into transactions with the Advisor and its affiliates as follows:

•

If we propose to enter into any transaction in which the Advisor, any affiliate of the Advisor or any of the Advisor’s directors or officers has a direct or indirect interest, then the transaction must be approved by a majority of our directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, including a majority of our independent directors.

•

We may not make loans to the Advisor or any of its affiliates except mortgages or loans to wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. The Advisor and its affiliates may not make loans to us, or to any joint venture or partnership or other similar arrangements in which we are a co-venturer, limited liability company member, limited partner or general partner, which are established to acquire or hold our investments, unless approved by a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.

•

We may enter into joint ventures or other similar arrangements with the Advisor or its affiliates provided that (a) a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approves the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us, and (b) the investment by us is on substantially the same terms as those received by other joint venturers.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of four members, three of whom are independent directors. Our Bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be less than one, which is the minimum number required by the MGCL, or more than 15. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors. Each director serves until the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of his or her election and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. At the Annual Meeting, two Class III directors will be elected to serve until the 2029 Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. The number of directors in each class may be changed from time to time by the Board to reflect matters such as an increase or decrease in the number of directors so that each class, to the extent possible, will have the same number of directors.

The Board of Directors has nominated Louis P. DiPalma and Edward M. Weil, Jr. for election as a Class III directors to serve until our 2029 Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify. Each of Messrs. DiPalma and Weil currently serve as Class III directors of the Company and agreed to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director if elected.

The proxy holders named on the proxy card intend to vote “FOR” the election of each of Messrs. DiPalma and Weil as a Class III director. The election of the Class III directors require the affirmative vote of a plurality of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, provided that a quorum is present. Withhold votes and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

We know of no reason why Messrs. DiPalma or Weil will be unable to serve if elected. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, Messrs. DiPalma or Weil should become unable to serve, shares represented by the proxies will be voted “FOR” any substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. No proxy will be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees described in this Proxy Statement.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF LOUIS P. DIPALMA AND EDWARD M. WEIL, JR. AS A CLASS III DIRECTOR, TO SERVE UNTIL THE COMPANY’S 2029 ANNUAL MEETING AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFY.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee of the Board of Directors has selected and appointed CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Although ratification by stockholders is not required by law, our charter or Bylaws, our audit committee believes that submission of its selection to stockholders is a matter of good corporate governance. CBIZ reports directly to our audit committee. Even if the appointment is ratified, our audit committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if our audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company. If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of CBIZ, our audit committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, provided that a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote on this proposal, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because brokers have discretionary voting authority with regard to this proposal we do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.

A representative of CBIZ will attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees

CBIZ was our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) was our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the fees billed to us for professional services rendered by PwC & CBIZ, all of which have been approved by the audit committee, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

services. Our audit committee discussed these services with the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the related requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All services rendered by CBIZ and PwC were pre-approved by the audit committee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2026.

Change in Certifying Accountant

On October 16, 2025, our audit committee dismissed PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The decision to change our independent registered public accounting firm was the result of a competitive bid process, as well as a focus on streamlining our cost structure and reducing general and administrative expenses.

PwC performed audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024. PwC’s reports for such years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for an emphasis of matter paragraph regarding the Company’s significant liquidity constraints contained in its audit report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

During the two years ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through October 16, 2025, there were no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its report, or (ii) “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, that would require disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Our Audit Committee invited several public accounting firms to participate in bid process, and as a result of this process, on October 16, 2025, the Audit Committee appointed CBIZ to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, including the review of the interim unaudited financial statements and related notes to be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, subject to CBIZ’s completion of its customary client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter.

During the two years ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm on October 16, 2025, neither we nor anyone acting on our behalf consulted CBIZ CPAs regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by CBIZ that CBIZ concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We furnished PwC with a copy of the disclosure contained under this heading “Changes in Certifying Accountant” prior to filing a Current Report on Form 8-K containing such disclosure with the SEC on October 21, 2025 and requested that PwC furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agreed with the statements reported pursuant to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K in such Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of PwC’s letter addressed to the SEC dated October 21, 2025 was attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us on October 21, 2025.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote on a non-binding, advisory resolution regarding executive compensation, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on this matter. Approval of this non-binding advisory resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to this proposal.

We have no employees. The Advisor performs our day-to-day management functions and affiliates of the Advisor employ the persons who provide these services, including our named executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement, we pay the Advisor management fees and reimburse the Advisor for certain expenses as required by the terms of our advisory agreement. For further details regarding the advisory agreement and our other arrangements with the Advisor and its affiliates, including the Property Manager, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” Please note, stockholders are not being asked to vote on the terms of the advisory agreement.

As an externally managed company, we do not employ our named executive officers, have agreements with them regarding their compensation or otherwise determine the compensation earned by, or paid to, them. AR Global, the parent company of the Advisor, determines the salaries, bonuses and other benefits earned by or paid to our named executive officers. We are required by the terms of our advisory agreement to reimburse the Advisor for salaries, bonuses or benefits of certain of our named executive officers, subject to certain limits described in more detail herein. We are not involved in establishing the compensation for the employees of the Advisor and its affiliates and do not have approval rights regarding the amounts paid to those persons. We limit the amount of aggregate reimbursement as described herein and reflected in the advisory agreement.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the following resolution at the annual meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and related narrative discussion, is hereby approved.”

This resolution is advisory and non-binding. Our obligation to reimburse the Advisor for amounts incurred by the Advisor for salaries, bonuses or benefits of certain of our named executive officers is governed by the terms of the advisory agreement with the Advisor, which does not expire until July 2030, and cannot be amended except with the mutual consent of the parties.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THIS NON-BINDING ADVISORY RESOLUTION.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2027 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholder Proposals in the Proxy Statement

Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act addresses when a company must include a stockholder’s proposal in its proxy statement and identify the proposal in its form of proxy when the Company holds an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Stockholder proposals submitted under Rule 14a-8 must be submitted in accordance with the procedures specified in the rule and be received at our principal executive offices by December 18, 2026. Any proposal received after such date will be considered untimely.

Stockholder Proposals and Nominations for Directors to Be Presented at Meetings

Requests for inclusion of any nominations of an individual to serve as a director or other business proposal under our Bylaws must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth in our Bylaws and include the information specified in the Bylaws. Under our current Bylaws, nominations of individuals to serve as directors or other business proposals must be in writing and, to be properly submitted for presentation at our 2026 Annual Meeting, must be delivered to our secretary at our principal executive offices during the period beginning on November 24, 2026 and ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 24, 2026. In addition, in order to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rules, any stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees for the 2027 Annual Meeting must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act no later than April 3, 2027, including providing a statement that such stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares of Common Stock representing at least 67% of the voting power of the Common Stock entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees; however, Rule 14a-19’s notice requirement does not override or supersede the longer notice period established by our Bylaws, and the longer time period contained in our Bylaws controls. If the 2027 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 calendar days from the first anniversary of the 2026 Annual Meeting, stockholders must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act no later than the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is first made. If a stockholder notifies us of an intent to present a proposal at the 2027 Annual Meeting at any time after March 9, 2027 (and for any reason the proposal is voted on at that meeting), it will be considered untimely and our proxy holders will have the right to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to the proposal, if presented at the meeting, without including information regarding the proposal in our proxy materials.

All nominations and other business proposals should be sent via registered, certified or express mail to our secretary at our principal executive offices at: American Strategic Investment Co., 222 Bellevue Ave., Newport, Rhode Island 02840, Attention: Secretary (telephone: (212) 415-6500).
