Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 26, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Pillarstone Capital REIT (the "Company") authorized a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding common share of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Shares"). The dividend is payable on December 27, 2021 (the "Record Date"), to the holders of record of Common Shares as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Record Date. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2021 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent (the "Rights Agent"). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth (a "Unit") of a Series D Preferred Share, par value $0.01 per share (each a "Preferred Share"), of the Company at a purchase price ("Purchase Price") of $7.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment.

The Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Rights Agreement. The following description of the Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rights Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available free of charge from the Company.





Distribution Date


Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common Shares, and no separate certificates evidencing the Rights will be issued. Subject to certain exceptions, until the Distribution Date (as defined below), the Company will issue one Right with each new Common Share issued after the Record Date so that all Common Shares will have Rights attached, the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares, and any transfer of Common Shares will constitute a transfer of the associated Rights. After the Distribution Date, the Rights will separate from the Common Shares and, as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("Rights Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Rights Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.

The "Distribution Date" means the earlier of:





  ? ten business days after the public announcement that a person or group of
    affiliated or associated persons has become an Acquiring Person (as defined
    below) or such earlier date, as determined by the Board, on which an Acquiring
    Person has become such; and

  ? such date (prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated or
    associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person), if any, as may be determined
    by the Board following the commencement of, or the first public announcement
    of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation
    of which would result in any person or group of affiliated or associated
    persons becoming an Acquiring Person.



On the Distribution Date (or such earlier time as required by the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership defined below), proper provision shall be made by the Company in order to provide each holder of certain units of Pillarstone Capital REIT Operating Partnership LP (the "Operating Partnership") with the number of Rights, evidenced by Rights Certificates, if any, as would be issued to the applicable holder as if the holder had exercised its applicable redemption rights relating to such units immediately prior to the Distribution Date, and the Company had elected to satisfy the redemption rights by paying the holder in shares in accordance with the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement.

On the Distribution Date, proper provision shall be made by the Company in order to provide each holder (other than the Company) of Class C Convertible Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, presently $0.01 par value per share, of the Company ("Class C Preferred Shares") with the number of Rights, evidenced by Rights Certificates, as would be issued to such holder as if such holder had converted all of its Class C Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately prior to the Distribution Date.













Exercisability


The Rights will not be exercisable until the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, each Right will be exercisable to purchase from the Company one Unit of a Preferred Share for the Purchase Price. Prior to exercising their Rights, holders of Rights, in that capacity have no rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote or receive dividends.

Consequences of Any Person or Entity Becoming an Acquiring Person





  ? Flip-In Trigger. If any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
    becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a Right (other than Rights
    beneficially owned by an Acquiring Person, affiliates and associates of an
    Acquiring Person and certain transferees thereof, which Rights will thereupon
    become null and void) will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise
    of a Right that number of Common Shares having a market value of two times the
    Purchase Price.

  ? Flip-Over Trigger. If, after any person or group of affiliated or associated
    persons has become an Acquiring Person, the Company is acquired in a merger,
    consolidation or combination or 50% or more of its consolidated assets, cash
    flow or earning power are transferred, proper provisions will be made so that
    each holder of a Right (other than Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring
    Person, affiliates and associates of an Acquiring Person and certain
    transferees thereof, which Rights will have become null and void) will
    thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise of a Right that number
    of common shares of the person (or its parent) with whom the Company has
    engaged in the foregoing transaction having a market value of two times the
    Purchase Price.

  ? Exchange Feature. At any time after any person or group of affiliated or
    associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the earlier of one
    of the events described in the previous paragraph or the acquisition by an
    Acquiring Person of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, the Board
    may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by an Acquiring Person,
    affiliates and associates of an Acquiring Person and certain transferees
    thereof, which Rights will have become null and void), in whole or in part,
    for Common Shares at an exchange ratio of one Common Share per Right.




Expiration



The Rights will expire on the earliest of (i) the close of business on December 27, 2024, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed pursuant to the Rights Agreement, (iii) the closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company that has been approved by the Board, at which time the Rights are terminated, (iv) the business day immediately following the Company's 2022 annual meeting of shareholders (including any adjournment thereof) if the . . .
