Effective as of February 10, 2023, the Company amended and restated its Preferred Stock Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP"). Under the DRIP, holders of the Preferred Stock ("preferred stockholders") series will have dividends on their Preferred Stock series automatically reinvested in additional shares of such Preferred Stock series at a price per share of $25.00 if they so elect. Once enrolled in the DRIP, preferred stockholders may elect to reinvest all, but not less than all, of their dividends in additional shares of the Preferred Stock series, until they

terminate their participation in the DRIP. The Company will pay all fees or other charges on shares of the Preferred Stock series purchased through the DRIP.

Shares of the Preferred Stock series purchased under the DRIP will come from the Company's authorized but unissued shares of the Preferred Stock series. Shares of the Preferred Stock series received through the DRIP will be of the same series and have the same original issue date for purposes of calculating the fee associated with a preferred stockholder's election to convert shares of the Preferred Stock series held by the preferred stockholder prior to the listing of the Preferred Stock series on a national securities exchange and for other terms of the Preferred Stock series based on issuance date as the Preferred Stock series for which the dividend was declared. The Company may terminate the DRIP at any time in its sole discretion. The description of the DRIP contained in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Preferred Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plan" is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the DRIP is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DRIP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
