REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Vidler Water Resources, Inc.
Carson City, Nevada

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vidler Water Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Intangible Water Assets - Impairment - Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company's intangible water assets are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, until an water asset is sold, it is not amortized, that is, its value is not charged as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income over time, but the asset is carried at cost and reviewed for impairment, at least annually during the fourth quarter, and more frequently if a specific event occurs or there are changes in circumstances which suggest that the asset may be impaired. Such events or changes may include lawsuits, court decisions, regulatory mandates, and economic conditions, including interest rates, demand for residential and commercial real estate, changes in population, and increases or decreases in prices of similar assets. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. Once an asset is sold, the value is charged to cost of real estate and water assets sold in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

When the Company calculates the fair value of intangible water assets, they use a discounted cash flow model, under which the future net cash flows from the asset are forecasted and then discounted back to their present value, using a weighted average cost of capital approach to determine the appropriate discount rate. Preparing these cash flow models requires the Company to make significant assumptions about revenues and expenses as well as the specific risks inherent in the assets. The Company
5

conducts extensive reviews utilizing the most recent information available; however, the review process inevitably involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, especially the estimated current asset pricing, potential price escalation, income tax rates, discount rates, absorption rates and timing, and demand for these assets. These models are sensitive to minor changes in any of the input variables.

There were no material impairment losses recorded on intangible water assets during the year ended December 31, 2021. Total intangible water assets balance was $120.0 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $107.2 million is located within the region of northern Nevada.

We identified the estimated discount rate and absorption rate assumptions within the Company's discounted cash flow model utilized to determine impairment of intangible water assets located within the region of northern Nevada as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to evaluate the recoverability of those intangible water assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's discounted future cash flows analysis.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the discounted future cash flows analysis included the following, among others:
a.With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the discounted future cash flows analysis, including estimates of discount rates and absorption rates by (1) evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodology, (2) assessing the reasonableness of the discount rate and absorption rate assumptions used by management and (3) testing the mathematical accuracy of the discounted future cash flows analysis.
b.We evaluated the reasonableness of management's discounted future cash flows analysis by comparing management's projections to the Company's historical results and external market sources.

Income Taxes - Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets - Refer to Note 7 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character. Sources of taxable income considered in the evaluation of deferred tax asset realization include future reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, expected future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback years if permitted under the tax law, and tax planning strategies. Management has recorded valuation allowances for those deferred tax assets not expected to be realized. As the Company has achieved a sufficient history of sustained profitability, including taxable income in appropriate jurisdictions, a portion of the valuation allowance was reduced by $21.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to realize certain of its deferred tax assets. The Company maintains valuation allowances of $36.4 million as of December 31, 2021 for deferred tax assets not expected to be realized in the future.

We identified management's determination that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to realize deferred tax assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments and estimates management makes related to taxable income across multiple jurisdictions. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our income tax specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's estimates of taxable income.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the determination that it is more likely than not that certain of the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized included the following, among others:

a.We evaluated the reasonableness of the methods, assumptions, and judgments used by management to determine whether a deferred tax asset would be realized in the future.

a.With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we evaluated whether the sources of management's estimated taxable income were of the appropriate character and sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets under the relevant tax law.
6


a.We evaluated management's ability to accurately estimate taxable income by comparing actual results to management's historical estimates and evaluating whether there have been any changes that would affect management's ability to accurately estimate taxable income.

a.We tested the reasonableness of management's estimates of taxable income by comparing the estimates to:

-Expiration dates or carryforward periods of tax attributes.

-Available and intended tax planning strategies.

-Internal budgets.

-Historical taxable income, as adjusted for nonrecurring items.

-Internal communications to management and the Board of Directors.

-Forecasted information included in Company press releases.

-Management's history of carrying out its stated plans and its ability to carry out its plans considering contractual commitments or available financing.

a.We evaluated whether the estimates of future taxable income were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

VIDLER WATER RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOOTNOTE INDEX

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Operations:

Vidler Water Resources, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "Vidler" or the "Company"), is a holding company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has presented its consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements using the guidelines prescribed for real estate companies, as the majority of the Company's assets and operations are primarily engaged in real estate and related activities.

The Company's most significant operating subsidiary as of December 31, 2021 was Vidler Water Company, Inc. ("Vidler Water"), a Nevada corporation. Vidler owns water resources and water storage in the southwestern United States, with assets and operations in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Currently, Vidler is primarily focused on selling its existing water rights and storage credits.

Smaller Reporting Company:

The Company qualifies as a Smaller Reporting Company ("SRC") under the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") definition and therefore certain disclosures that are no longer required have been removed in accordance with the SEC's disclosure requirements for SRCs.

Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each reporting period. The significant estimates made in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements relate to intangibles, real estate and water assets, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, and contingent liabilities. While management believes that the carrying value of such assets and liabilities were appropriate as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from the estimates upon which the carrying values were based.



15

Tangible Water Assets and Real Estate:

Tangible water assets and real estate include the cost of certain tangible water assets, water storage credits and related storage facilities, real estate, including raw land and improvements. The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs, the purchase price of real estate, development costs and other allocated costs, including any interest, during development and construction. Pre-acquisition costs, including non-refundable land deposits, are expensed to cost of sales when the Company determines continuation of the related project is not probable.

Additional costs to develop or otherwise get tangible water and real estate assets ready for their intended use are capitalized. These costs typically include direct construction costs, legal fees, engineering, consulting, direct cost of drilling wells or related construction, and any interest costs capitalized on qualifying assets during the development period. The Company expenses all maintenance and repair costs. The types of costs capitalized are consistent across periods presented. Tangible water assets consist of various water interests in development or awaiting permitting. Amortization of real estate improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the improvements ranging from 5 to 15 years.

Intangible Water Assets:

Intangible water assets include the costs of indefinite-lived intangible assets and is comprised of water rights and the exclusive right to use two water transportation pipelines. The Company capitalizes development and entitlement costs and other allocated costs, including any interest, during the development period of the assets to tangible water assets and transfers the costs to intangible water assets when water rights are permitted. Water rights consist of various water interests acquired or developed independently or in conjunction with the acquisition of real estate. When the Company purchases intangible water assets that are attached to real estate, an allocation of the total purchase price, including any direct costs of the acquisition, is made at the date of acquisition based on the estimated relative fair values of the water rights and the real estate.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired, by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying amounts. The fair value of the intangible assets is calculated using discounted cash flow models that incorporate a wide range of assumptions including current asset pricing, price escalation, discount rates, absorption rates, timing of sales, and costs. These models are sensitive to minor changes in any of the input variables.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

The Company records an impairment loss when the condition exists where the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable. Impairment of long-lived assets is triggered when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, for the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets do not exceed the carrying amount. The Company prepares and analyzes cash flows at appropriate levels of grouped assets. If the events or circumstances indicate that the remaining balance may be impaired, such impairment will be measured based upon the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of such assets determined using the estimated future discounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the respective long-lived asset.

Noncontrolling Interests:

The Company reports the share of the results of operations that are attributable to other owners of its consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income, the income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is reported separately and the accumulated income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, along with any changes in ownership of the subsidiary, is reported within shareholders' equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid instruments, purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

16

Other Assets:

Other assets include the following significant account balances:

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net:

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets. Buildings and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term and range from 15 to 30 years, office furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over seven years, and computer equipment is depreciated over three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in other income.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses:

Accounts payable and accrued expenses includes trade payables and accrued construction payables.

Other Liabilities:

Other liabilities primarily includes employee benefits, unearned revenues, option payments and deposits received.

Revenue Recognition:

Sale of Real Estate and Water Assets:

Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate and water assets conforms with accounting literature related to the sale of real estate, and is recognized in full when there is a legally binding sale contract, the profit is determinable (the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, or any amount that will not be collectible can be estimated), the earnings process is virtually complete (the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit, meaning the Company has transferred all risks and rewards to the buyer). If these conditions are not met, the Company records the cash received as deferred revenue until the conditions to recognize full profit are met.

Other Income, Net:

Included in other income are various transactional results including realized gains and losses from the sale of investments and property, plant and equipment, interest income, sales of oil and gas, and other sources not considered to be the core focus of the existing operating entities within the group.

Cost of Sales:

Cost of Real Estate and Water Assets:

Cost of real estate and water assets sold includes direct costs of the acquisition of the asset less any impairment losses previously recorded against the asset, development costs incurred to get the asset ready for use, and any capitalized interest costs incurred during the development period.

General, Administrative, and Other:

General, administrative, and other costs include salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation, consulting, audit, tax, legal, insurance, property taxes, rent and utilities, selling costs, and other general operating expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair values of the awards, calculated using the closing stock price on the date of grant, and is recognized as expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests using the straight-line method. When an employee restricted stock unit ("RSU") vests, the recipient receives a new share of Vidler common stock for each RSU, less the number of shares of common stock equal in value to applicable withholding taxes. When an RSU is forfeited, all previously recognized expense is reversed during the respective forfeiture year and the remaining unamortized expense is canceled.

Accounting for Income Taxes:

The Company's provision for income tax expense includes federal and state income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of the assets and liabilities. The asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes also requires the Company to reflect the effect of a tax rate change on accumulated deferred income taxes in income in the period in which the change is enacted.

In assessing the realization of deferred income taxes, management considers whether it is more likely than not that any deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which temporary differences become deductible. If it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized a valuation allowance is recorded. At December 31, 2021, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that some of its deferred tax assets will be realized, and accordingly, the valuation allowance was recorded only against the deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The Company recognizes any uncertain income tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized unless it has a greater than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

Earnings per Share:

Basic earnings or loss per share was computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share was computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of any common stock equivalents using the treasury method, if dilutive. The Company's performance-based price-contingent stock options ("PBO"), and RSU are considered common stock equivalents for this purpose. The number of additional shares related to these common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there was no anti-dilution.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance in response to concerns about the structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The cessation of the publication of LIBOR occurred on December 31, 2021. The Company has an operating agreement with Fish Springs Ranch, LLC which entitles Vidler Water to receive interest on certain development costs, construction costs, and accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 450 basis points. The Company is in the process of evaluating the alternatives to the LIBOR rate.

3. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company's carrying amounts of its intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):
December 31,
2021 2020
Pipeline rights, water rights, and water credits at Fish Springs Ranch $ 80,860 $ 81,574
Pipeline rights and water rights at Carson-Lyon 26,323 25,643
Other 12,780 13,228
Total intangible assets $ 119,963 $ 120,445

Fish Springs Ranch Pipeline Rights, Water Rights, and Water Credits:

There are 13,000 acre-feet per-year of permitted water rights at Fish Springs Ranch. The existing permit allows up to 8,000 acre-feet of water per year to be exported to support the development in the Reno, Nevada area. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has sold 372 acre-feet of water credits. Under a settlement agreement signed in 2007, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (the "Tribe") agreed to not oppose any permitting activities for the pumping and export of groundwater in excess of 8,000 acre-feet of water per year, and in exchange, Fish Springs Ranch will pay the Tribe 12% of the gross sales price for each acre-foot of additional water that Fish Springs Ranch sells in excess of 8,000 acre-feet per year, up to 13,000 acre-feet per year. The obligation to expense and pay the 12% fee is due only if and when the Company sells water in excess of 8,000 acre-feet, and accordingly, Fish Springs Ranch will record the liability for such amounts as they become due upon the sale of any such excess water. Currently, Fish Springs Ranch does not have regulatory approval to export any water in excess of 8,000 acre-feet per year from Fish Springs Ranch to support further development in northern Reno, and it is uncertain whether such regulatory approval will be granted in the future.

Carson-Lyon Pipeline Rights and Water Rights:

During the year ended December 31, 2021 an additional 45 acre-feet of municipal and industrial designated groundwater rights were purchased for $690,000. No additional rights were purchased in 2020.

Impairment Losses:

There were no impairment losses recognized on intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Except as described in ITEM 1. BUSINESS, (Kane Springs), and in ITEM 7, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS), neither Vidler, nor our subsidiaries are parties to any potentially material pending legal proceedings.

The Company is subject to various litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company's potential liability. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of accruals and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates, and it is possible that the Company's consolidated financial statements could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Whether any losses finally determined in any claim, action, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including: the timing and amount of such losses; the structure and type of any remedies; the significance of the impact any such losses, damages or remedies may have on the consolidated financial statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At December 31, 2021, the Company had one stock-based payment arrangement outstanding, the Vidler Water Resources, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan").

20

The 2014 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3.3 million shares of common stock in the form of performance-based price-contingent stock options ("PBO"), restricted stock unit ("RSU"), stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SAR"), non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSA"), performance shares, performance units, deferred compensation awards, and other stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company (or any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity of the Company). The 2014 Plan allows for broker assisted cashless exercises and net-settlement of income taxes and employee withholding taxes. Upon exercise of a PBO, RSU, or SAR, the employee will receive newly issued shares of Vidler common stock with a fair value equal to the in-the-money value of the award, less applicable federal, state and local withholding and income taxes (however, the holder can elect to pay withholding taxes in cash).

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $108,000 and $540,000 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amounts recorded in 2021 and 2020 reflect the actual grant of RSU for bonus accruals made in 2020 and 2019 for 2020 and 2019 performance, respectively.

Performance-Based Options (PBO):

At various times, the Company has awarded PBO to various members of management. All of the PBO issued contain a market condition based on the achievement of a stock price target during the contractual term and vest monthly over a three-year period. The vested portion of the options may be exercised only if the 30-trading-day average closing sales price of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds 125% of the grant date stock price. The stock price contingency may be met any time before the options expire and it only needs to be met once for the PBO to remain exercisable for the remainder of the term. Compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which is the vesting period of the award. However, any unrecognized compensation expense for unvested awards can be accelerated if the vesting period is modified.

The estimated fair value of the Company's PBO was determined using a Monte Carlo model, which incorporated the following assumptions:
2014
10-Year Option
Grant date 11/14/2014
Expiration date 11/14/2024
Grant date stock price $ 19.51
Historical volatility 35.00 %
Risk-free rate (annualized) 2.38 %
Dividend yield (annualized) - %
PBO granted 167,619
Weighted average grant date fair value $ 6.51
Fair value of award on grant date $ 1,475,705

The determination of the fair value of PBO using an option valuation model is affected by the Company's stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The volatility is calculated through an analysis based on historical daily returns of Vidler's stock over a look-back period equal to the PBO contractual term. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon a risk-neutral framework using the 10-year zero-coupon risk-free interest rates derived from the treasury constant maturities yield curve on the grant date, for the 10-year PBO award. The dividend yield assumption was based on the expectation of no future dividend payouts by the Company.

21

A summary of PBO activity was as follows:
Performance-Based Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2019 167,619 $ 14.51
Granted -
Forfeited -
Outstanding at December 31,2020 167,619 $ 14.51

At December 31, 2021, 167,619 PBO outstanding are exercisable for up to 10 years from the grant date.
Performance-Based Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share Weighted-Average Contractual Term Remaining (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no PBO exercisable as the market condition had not been met. There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PBO at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Restricted Stock Units (RSU):

RSU awards the recipient, who must be continuously employed by the Company until the vesting date, unless the employment contracts stipulate otherwise, the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. RSU issued to management do not vote and are not entitled to receive dividends, however the RSU issued to the Company's directors are entitled to dividends.

22

A summary of RSU activity was as follows:
RSU Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2019 - $ -
Granted 58,938 $ 9.17
Vested (58,938) $ 9.17
Forfeited - $ -

There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020.

7. FEDERAL AND STATE CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAX

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Companies that are less than 80% owned corporations, or entities that are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, file separate federal income tax returns. All of the Company's pre-tax book income from continuing operations in each of the two years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was generated in the U.S. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The Company's income tax (provision) benefit for federal and state income taxes consisted of the following (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
2021 2020
Current tax (provision) benefit $ (55) $ (7)
Deferred tax benefit 18,165 9,340
Total income tax benefit $ 18,110 $ 9,333

The difference between income taxes provided at the Company's federal statutory rate and effective tax rate was as follows (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
2021 2020
Federal income tax (provision) benefit at statutory rate $ (3,108) $ (147)
Change in valuation allowance 21,718 10,275
State taxes, net of federal benefit (338) 373
Expired credits (1,505)
Deferred Tax true ups 66 362
Other (228) (25)
Total income tax benefit $ 18,110 $ 9,333

23

The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
December 31,
2021 2020
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating losses, capital losses, and tax credit carryforwards $ 54,449 $ 57,901
Impairment loss on water assets 9,155 9,864
Employee benefits, including stock-based compensation 1,098 556
Excess tax basis in affiliate 459 475
Fixed assets 674 700
Other, net 441 450
Total deferred tax assets 66,276 69,946
Deferred tax liabilities:
Revaluation of real estate and water assets 2,005 2,072
Other, net 399 449
Total deferred tax liabilities 2,404 2,521
Valuation allowance (36,367) (58,085)
Net deferred income tax asset $ 27,505 $ 9,340

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and federal income tax expense in future years can be significantly affected by changes in circumstances that would influence management's conclusions as to the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a "more likely than not" threshold. At December 31, 2011, the Company considered it more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized and a full valuation allowance was provided. At December 31, 2020, after evaluating the evidence, including positive objective evidence in the form of three years of cumulative historical pre-tax book income, management concluded that there was sufficient positive evidence to enable the Company to conclude that it was "more likely than not" that certain of these deferred tax assets would be realized, and the Company released a portion of the valuation allowance which resulted in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets with a corresponding decrease to income tax expense of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021 an additional $21.7 million of valuation allowance was released.

The Company had net operating loss carryforwards, federal tax credit carryforwards, and state capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021, that will expire if not utilized. The following table summarizes such carryforwards and their expiration as follows (in thousands):
Federal Net Operating Losses Federal Tax Credits State Net Operating Losses State and Federal Capital Losses
Expire 2022 $ - $ 177 $ - $ 82,807
Expire 2023 through 2027 - 445 - 1,435
Expire 2028 through 2032 34,745 3,459 34,097 -
Expire 2033 through 2038 98,705 1,104 91,842 -
Indefinite Expiry 6,256 - - -
Total $ 139,706 $ 5,185 $ 125,939 $ 84,242

Utilization of the Company's U.S. federal and certain state net operating loss and tax credit carryovers may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes that utilization of its federal net operating losses and federal tax credits are not limited under any ownership change limitations provided under the Internal Revenue Code. The tax benefit preservation plan readopted by the Company in 2020 provides protections to preserve the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards as a result of certain stock ownership changes in the future.

24

The Company does not have any uncertain tax benefits recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company has not recorded any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax benefits.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's statute is open from 2017 and 2016 forward for federal and for state tax purposes, respectively. However, years prior to 2016 could still be considered open for adjustment to NOL and tax credit carryforwards.

8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Executive Bonus Plan:

On August 2, 2018, the Company adopted an Amended and Restated Executive Bonus Plan (the "Amended Bonus Plan") to provide for the payment of bonuses to Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb (collectively, the "Plan Participants"). The Amended Bonus Plan, which has a term of five years from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022, amends, restates and supersedes the Company's Executive Bonus Plan adopted on December 14, 2016 (the "Prior Bonus Plan").

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Bonus Plan, a pool of funds will be created for distribution on a yearly basis (the "Bonus Pool"). The first step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to calculate the total revenues and other income of the Company during the year (other than any revenues or other income attributed to the Company's investments in Synthonics, Inc. and Mindjet Inc. and the Company's deferred compensation plans (the "Excluded Assets")) minus (a) the gross invested capital for each asset of the Company (other than an Excluded Asset) that was sold or otherwise disposed of during such year, defined as the book value of such asset as of the date of the sale (or other disposition) of such asset, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflected in the Company's financial records as of such date, plus any impairment or depreciation charges taken by the Company with respect to such asset on or prior to such date; (b) an amount equal to the aggregate of the gross invested capital for each relevant asset as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (a), multiplied by the amount of years (including any partial year) elapsed between January 1, 2018 and the date of the sale or other disposal of such asset, multiplied by 5%; and (c) administrative expenses specified in the Amended Bonus Plan (such resulting amount, the "Total Net Gain"). For assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) entirely or partially for non-cash consideration by the Company, the calculation of Total Net Gain with respect to the non-cash consideration will instead be made in the year in which the non-cash consideration is ultimately sold (or otherwise disposed of) for cash by the Company.

The second step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to multiply the Total Net Gain by the "Adjustment Factor", which is the greater of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of cash distributed (or committed to be distributed) to the Company's shareholders with respect to all such assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) during the year, and the denominator of which is the total amount of cash received (after payment of all selling costs, including bankers' fees and commissions) for which all such assets were sold (or otherwise disposed of) during the year, or (ii) such percentage (not to exceed 100%) as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") determines in its sole discretion to utilize as the Adjustment Factor. The amount that results from multiplying the Total Net Gain by the Adjustment Factor is the "Adjusted Net Gain."

The final step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to multiply the Adjusted Net Gain by 8.75%, which results in the actual Bonus Pool. The Bonus Pool will be allocated 55% to Ms. Timian-Palmer and 45% to Mr. Webb. Each Plan Participant will be entitled to his or her allocated portion of the Bonus Pool for the year if he or she is employed by the Company on the last day of the year. Any bonus paid pursuant to the Amended Bonus Plan will be paid 50% in the form of cash and 50% in the form of a RSU award, except that if a Plan Participant incurs a separation from service prior to the date that such RSU awards are scheduled to be granted, such bonus will be paid entirely in the form of cash. Such RSU awards shall be granted pursuant to the terms of the 2014 Plan, will be fully vested on the date of grant, and the number of RSUs subject to such award will be equal to (x) the dollar value of 50% of the total amount of such bonus, divided by (y) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices (the "VWAP") of the Company's common stock for all of the trading days during the 30 calendar day period ending on (and including) the last trading day immediately prior to the grant date of such award, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The issuance of any shares pursuant to such RSU awards will occur on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of grant of such RSU award, (ii) a Plan Participant's separation from service or (iii) a change of control.

25

In the event that any Plan Participant's employment with the Company is terminated in certain circumstances as provided in a written agreement between the Company and such Plan Participant, as applicable, the terminated individual will be entitled to payment of an amount under the Amended Bonus Plan for a portion of the year in which such termination occurs. In order to calculate such amount, the Compensation Committee will first determine the Total Net Gain for the portion of the year prior to such individual's termination (which Total Net Gain will be determined in the same manner as described above based on the actual revenues or other income of the Company (including sales or other dispositions of assets) during such partial year period; provided, however, that the amount of administrative expenses for such portion of the year will be prorated based on the Compensation Committee's estimate of the total amount of administrative expenses for such year) (such amount, the "Pro Rata Net Gain"). Second, the Pro Rata Net Gain is multiplied by an adjustment factor which is the greater of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of cash distributed (or committed to be distributed) to the Company's shareholders in connection with the Company's sale (or other disposition) of assets during such portion of the year, and the denominator of which is the total amount of cash received for which all assets were sold (or otherwise disposed of) during such portion of the year, or (ii) such percentage (not to exceed 100%) as the Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion to utilize as the Adjustment Factor. The resulting amount is multiplied by 8.75% to arrive at the "Termination Bonus Pool." In the event that any Plan Participant is entitled to payment of an amount under the Amended Bonus Plan for the portion of the year in which such individual's termination occurs, such amount will be paid in the form of cash and will be equal to a percentage of the Termination Bonus Pool corresponding to such individual's allocated percentage of the Bonus Pool.

Under the terms of the Amended Bonus Plan the Company accrued $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $20,500 for the year ended December 31, 2020.



PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Bylinsky, Mr. Speron, and Ms. Weymouth are independent directors under applicable rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb are not independent directors under those standards, as Mr. Webb and Ms. Timian-Palmer are employees of our Company. The independent directors have regularly scheduled executive session meetings at which only the independent directors are present. During 2021, executive sessions were led by Mr. Speron, who was appointed Lead Independent Director at our 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. An executive session is held in conjunction with each regularly scheduled quarterly Board meeting, and other sessions may be called by the Lead Independent Director at his discretion or at the request of our Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (the "Governance Committee") is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the Board's leadership structure. In August 2018, Mr. Maxim C. W. Webb resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer and became our Executive Chairman. At the same time, Ms. Dorothy Timian - Palmer was appointed as our new President and Chief Executive Officer. The role of the Executive Chairman is to manage the affairs of our Board of Directors, including ensuring that our Board of Directors is organized properly, functions effectively, and meets its obligations and responsibilities. The Executive Chairman also develops agendas and presides at all meetings of our Board of Directors and shareholders. In May 2019 upon the departure of the previous Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Mr. Maxim C.W. Webb was appointed the new CFO of the Company. The Governance Committee also believes that it is advantageous to have an Executive Chairman with an extensive history with and knowledge of the Company, compared to an independent Chairman, who may not have the same level of Company experience.

26

The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Speron as the Lead Independent Director to help reinforce the independence of the Board of Directors as a whole. The Lead Independent Director is empowered, among other duties and responsibilities, to approve agendas and meeting schedules for regular Board of Directors meetings, preside over Board of Directors meetings in the absence of the Chairman, preside over and establish the agendas for meetings of the independent directors, act as liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, approve information sent to the Board of Directors, preside over any portions of Board of Directors meetings at which the evaluation or compensation of the Executive Chairman is presented or discussed and, upon request, act as a liaison to shareholders. In addition, it is the responsibility of the Lead Independent Director to coordinate with the Board of Directors and management to determine and implement responses to any problematic risk management issues. As a result, the Board of Directors believes that the Lead Independent Director can help ensure the effective independent functioning of the Board of Directors in its oversight responsibilities. In addition, the Board of Directors believes that the Lead Independent Director is better positioned to build a consensus among directors and to serve as a conduit between the other independent directors and the Chairman, for example, by facilitating the inclusion on meeting agendas of matters of concern to the independent directors. In light of the Executive Chairman's extensive history with and knowledge of the Company, and because the Lead Independent Director is empowered to play a significant role in the Board of Directors' leadership and in reinforcing the independence of the Board of Directors, we believe that it is advantageous for the Company to have an Executive Chairman.

Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors as a group is responsible for all risk oversight of our Company and, as such, has full access to management so that it can maintain open and continuous communication that ensures that the risks associated with the various aspects of our Company's businesses are appropriately identified and addressed. In addition, each of our committees oversees a portion of the Company's risk framework and controls. Our Compensation Committee reviews the risks associated with compensation incentives.

Our Audit Committee oversees the risks associated with (a) our financial statements, financial and liquidity risk exposures, including any material and pending legal proceedings and significant transactions, (b) fraud, (c) security of and risks related to information technology systems and procedures, and (d) related party transactions and actual and potential conflicts of interests. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees the policies and procedures related to director and management succession and transition.

In carrying out each of their responsibilities in overseeing the Company's policies with respect to risk, the committees discuss the issues with internal personnel and third parties they consider appropriate. After review and discussion, the committees evaluate and report to our full Board of Directors each of their respective findings and recommendations. Our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the adoption of any committee recommendations.

The Company's leadership structure complements our Board of Directors' risk oversight function. The role of Lead Independent Director promotes effective consideration of matters presenting significant risks to the Company. Our Board of Directors regularly reviews its leadership structure and evaluates whether it is functioning effectively. Our Board of Directors' role of risk oversight has not specifically affected its leadership structure.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Governance Committee, all of which are, and during 2021 were, composed solely of independent directors. The committees operate pursuant to written charters, that are available on our website under "Corporate Governance" athttp://www.vidlerwater.com(the information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement).

Director nominees.Our Governance Committee works with our Board of Directors to determine the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experience for our Board of Directors, as a whole, and its individual members. This evaluation includes issues of diversity, age, skills, and experience - all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of our Board of Directors at that time. In evaluating the suitability of individual members of our Board of Directors for continued service, as well as potential new candidates for our Board of Directors, our Governance Committee and our Board of Directors take into account many factors, including:

•business experience;
•academic credentials;
•inter-personal skills;
•the ability to understand our business;
•leadership skills;
•the understanding of the responsibilities of being a director of a publicly held company;
•corporate experience;
•prior experience on other boards of directors; and
•the potential for contributing to our success.

Although we do not currently have a policy with regard to the formal consideration of diversity in identifying candidates for election to our Board of Directors, our Governance Committee recognizes the benefits associated with a diverse board, and takes diversity considerations into account when identifying candidates. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee utilizes a broad conception of diversity, including diversity of professional experience, employment history, prior experience on other boards of directors, and more familiar diversity concepts such as race, gender and national origin. We endeavor to have our Board of Directors represent diverse experience at policy-making levels in business, government, and education, and in areas that are relevant to our activities. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. These factors, and others considered useful by our Governance Committee, will be reviewed in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of our Board of Directors at a particular time.

Directors are expected to possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders. They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective and mature judgment. Members of our Board of Directors are expected to rigorously prepare for, attend, and participate in all Board of Directors and applicable committee meetings.

Our Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders; however, such recommendations must be timely submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary along with the candidate's resume and any other relevant information. See "Shareholder Nomination of Directors" below.

Corporate Governance Guidelines (including Majority Voting Policy and Stock Ownership Guidelines)

We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (that were last updated by our Board of Directors on November 4, 2020) and are posted on our website under "Corporate Governance" athttp://www.vidlerwater.com(the information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement). These Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth policies intended to guide our Board of Directors in its governance practices. In addition to addressing many of the items discussed in this Corporate Governance section, our Corporate Governance Guidelines include stock ownership guidelines (which are discussed in greater detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement), and a majority voting policy.

Under our majority voting policy, even though directors are elected by plurality vote, if a director receives in an uncontested election a greater number of "Withhold" votes than votes cast "For" his or her election, our Governance Committee will undertake an evaluation of the appropriateness of the director's continued service on our Board of Directors. In performing this evaluation, our Governance Committee will review all factors deemed relevant, including the stated reasons why shareholders withheld votes for election from such director, the director's length of service, his or her past contributions to the Company and our Board of Directors, including committee service, and the availability of other qualified candidates. Our Governance Committee will then make its recommendation to our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will review this recommendation and consider such other factors and written information as it deems relevant.

Our Board of Directors will act on the committee's recommendation, no later than 90 days following the date of the shareholders meeting. If our Board of Directors determines remedial action is appropriate, the director shall promptly take the action as requested by our Board of Directors. If the director does not promptly take the recommended remedial action, or if our Board of Directors determines that immediate resignation is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation, upon request from our Board of Directors.

We will publicly disclose our Board of Directors' decision within four business days in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, providing an explanation of the process by which the decision was reached and, if applicable, the reason for not requesting the director's resignation. The director in question will not participate in our Governance Committee's or our Board of Directors' discussion and analysis.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct") applicable to all directors, officers, and employees. A copy may be obtained without charge by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 3480 GS Richards Blvd, Suite 101, Carson City, Nevada 89703.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Philosophy

Overview

This section describes our executive compensation policies and how and why our Compensation Committee arrived at specific compensation decisions. The following named executive officers ("NEOs"), whose compensation is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and other compensation tables below are:
l Dorothy A. Timian-Palmer President and Chief Executive Officer
l Maxim C.W. Webb Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary



Executive Compensation Overview

Our Business Model

Our objective is to maximize long-term shareholder value. Currently, we believe the highest potential return to our shareholders is from a return of capital. As we monetize assets, rather than reinvest the proceeds, we intend to return capital to shareholders through a stock repurchase program or by other means such as special dividends. Nonetheless, we may, from time to time, reinvest a portion of proceeds from asset monetizations in further development of existing assets, if we believe the returns on such reinvestment outweigh the benefits of a return of capital.

As a holding company for our primary holding, Vidler Water Company, Inc., our strategic mission has been to maximize long-term shareholder value by identifying and developing undervalued water resource assets. To do this we have:

(i)sought to evaluate, acquire and develop water resource assets in the southwestern United States at valuations that we believed provided significant downside risk protection;
(ii)sought to enhance the value of those water resource assets through our operational expertise, development activities, transaction structure and efficient use of capital; and
(iii)attempted to achieve gains on our invested capital through both operating returns and disposition of assets at appropriate times.

Our Business Model Drives our Compensation Philosophy and Programs

Our present business strategy requires a management team that functions within an entrepreneurial culture with demonstrated expertise in asset and business disposals and financial management and business operations. Our management team must review, operate, and manage (prior to asset monetization) a broad range of unique and strategic water assets, and exhibit skill navigating complex public company reporting and corporate governance matters.

Asset dispositions frequently occur several years following our acquisition of such assets. Although we may pay our incentive compensation awards in a particular year, for past performance, this compensation is often a result of years of cumulative efforts that are recognized when there is a monetization event. This practice seeks to closely align the compensation of our executive officers with our long-term corporate objectives and risk tolerance and the long-term interests of our shareholders.

In 2018, we adopted an amended and restated executive bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan"), which superseded the Company's prior bonus plan adopted at the end of 2016. The Compensation Committee believes that the Bonus Plan more closely aligns the bonus incentives available to Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb with the best interests of the shareholders by adding to the bonus formula a time value of money charge against invested capital, and by constituting 50% of the bonus payment as RSUs. The Compensation Committee narrowed the scope of the Bonus Plan to just Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb in order to finance this modest capital charge while retaining competitive compensation levels for our leadership.

33

As described below under "Bonus Plan in Effect for 2021 and 2020", the Bonus Plan includes a bonus pool factor that is based on total net gain, which is determined by calculating the total revenues and other income of the Company during the year (other than certain specified revenues and other income) and deducting from that amount (i) gross invested capital of each Company asset (other than certain excluded assets) that was sold or otherwise disposed of during such year, (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate of the gross invested capital for each relevant asset as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), multiplied by the number of years (including any partial year) elapsed between January 1, 2018, and the date of the sale or other disposal of such asset, multiplied by 5%, and (iii) the annual administrative expenses incurred. The plan was effective on January 1, 2018, for the 2018 calendar year with a five year term ending December 31, 2022. The Bonus Plan replaced and superseded all prior bonus plans and programs for our NEOs.

Executive Compensation Program

Our Compensation Philosophy

We seek to align all compensation with our shareholders' interests and the Company's performance. We aim to hire qualified individuals, pay them for performance that is measured by increases in shareholder value, and retain the team that is instrumental to executing our business plan. We define a qualified individual as someone who is intelligent, resourceful, experienced, able to consistently produce high quality work product, displays a professional and positive attitude, and is productive and ethical. A relatively small number of people have been part of the core team of executives responsible for driving our performance over the long-term. Our CEO and Executive Chairman and CFO have been employed with us for approximately 24 and 28 years, respectively. We consider retention of our key executives important because they have acquired a valuable and specific skill set over the years with us that would be difficult to replace. Our small management team provides for more efficient decision making and greater accountability.

In line with our philosophy to reward our executive officers for successful performance, our cash incentive awards are tied to the economic value created by asset monetizations and the return of capital to shareholders. Under our current executive bonus plan, for purposes of determining the bonus pool, the formula for calculating the total net gain for all assets sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company, as well as all assets distributed directly to the Company's shareholders, requires the deduction of the gross invested capital of each such asset, the annual administrative expenses incurred in the bonus year, as well as a deduction for the time value of money.

We have also used changes in our stock price as a metric for measuring our long-term performance. However, in conjunction with our business model, we anticipate granting stock-based compensation to our NEOs only if an award is earned under the Bonus Plan further discussed below under the section titled "2021 and2020 Executive Compensation Decisions - 2021 and 2020Compensation - Bonus Plans in Effect for 2021 and 2020."

The Role of the Compensation Committee in Determining Executive Compensation

Our executive compensation program is subject to a thorough review process that includes Compensation Committee review and approval of compensation program design and practices, feedback from our shareholders, and a consistently applied philosophy for incentive compensation. Our compensation program is intended to be equitable, accountable, transparent, and shareholder-centric.

34

Effect of 2021 Say-on Pay Vote

At our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, pursuant to a non-binding, advisory vote, our shareholders approved the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the proxy statement for such annual meeting with approximately 96.9% of the votes cast in favor of that say on pay resolution. The Compensation Committee has considered the results of this advisory vote and believes that it shows overwhelming support by our shareholders for our compensation philosophy and the executive compensation programs that implement our philosophy. We have not changed our executive compensation programs following the advisory vote but we will continue to actively evaluate our executive compensation program.

Our Compensation Committee is composed of "non-employee directors", within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, who also meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The Compensation Committee is responsible for assuring that all of our executive compensation decisions are developed, implemented, and administered to support our fundamental philosophy that a significant portion of executive compensation is linked to our performance. To this end, the Compensation Committee oversees and administers all of our executive compensation plans and policies, administers our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (including reviewing and approving grants of awards under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, to the extent applicable), and annually reviews and approves the individual elements of the total compensation packages for our NEOs.

Management Interaction with Committee

In carrying out its responsibilities, our Compensation Committee works with members of our management team, including our Executive Chairman and our CEO. The management team assists our Compensation Committee by providing information on Company and individual performance, market data, and management's perspective and recommendations on compensation matters. Our Compensation Committee solicits and reviews the CEO's recommendations and proposals regarding annual cash compensation adjustments, equity incentive awards, program structures, and other compensation-related matters (other than for the Executive Chairman and CEO). Our Compensation Committee considered the CEO's recommendations and proposals as one of many factors in reviewing and approving the compensation for our former CFO. Our Compensation Committee meets in executive session to set the compensation of our Executive Chairman and CEO.

Determining the Amount of Compensation for Our NEOs

The amount of compensation we provide our NEOs is intended to be:

Reasonable and appropriate for our business needs and circumstances. Our Compensation Committee considers as reference points for comparative purposes compensation practices of other public companies in our peer group. While we developed our peer group to review market practices, due to our current business model, we use the peer group for general guidance but we do not target specific benchmark percentiles.

Internally fair and equitable relative to roles, responsibilities and work relationships. Management and the Compensation Committee may consider certain business and individual factors to evaluate internal fairness and equity. We do not attempt to establish specific internal relationships among the NEOs.

Variable from year-to-year based on our performance ("pay-for-performance").Our annual cash incentive awards are based on the value created from asset monetizations and are tied to invested capital and the return of capital to shareholders.

Reflective of the lean management structure we employ.We have very few executives and staff running our operations. This keeps our overall corporate overhead at reasonable levels, but also demands more from our team. The Compensation Committee takes into account the overall cost savings of our model when considering compensation.

Focused on retaining the core team of executives. Retention of our core team of executives is critical to our business strategy, because the loss of any executive could require significant resources to replace. The Compensation Committee considers the retention of the executives when designing the executive compensation program.

35

Key Components of Our NEO Compensation Program

The following table includes the various components of our executive compensation program:
Component Purpose Form Pay-for-Performance Comment
Base Salary Provide sufficient competitive pay to attract and retain experienced and successful executives. Cash Adjustments to base salary generally consider individual performance, contributions to the business, competitive practices and internal comparisons. Annual fixed cash compensation. Base salary reflects the employee's level of responsibility, expertise, skills, knowledge and experience. Base salaries are generally reviewed on an annual basis.
Bonus Plan Encourage and reward contributions to our financial results. Engage executives in execution of our business strategy. Emphasize accountability for results. Cash and RSU Awards Our annual incentive awards under the Bonus Plan are based on the total revenue and other income of the Company during the year (other than certain specified revenues and other income) after deducting, among other amounts, the gross invested capital of each asset (other than certain excluded assets) that was sold or otherwise disposed of during such year, and is tied to the return of capital to shareholders. Annual variable compensation. The Compensation Committee determines and approves the actual amount earned after the close of the fiscal year.
Equity Incentive Encourage and reward building long-term shareholder value, employment retention and company stock ownership. Aligns executive performance with shareholder interests and retain executive officers through long-term vesting. RSU Awards and Performance Based Options ("PBOs")
RSU retain executives and align them with shareholders' interests by awarding a fixed number of shares upon vesting. PBOs reward building long-term shareholder value (see equity compensation section for a more detailed description of PBO).
The Compensation Committee, at its sole discretion, determines whether to grant stock-based awards in any year (in addition to any RSUs granted as part of annual incentive awards under our Bonus Plan). We require stock ownership through stock ownership guidelines applicable to our CEO, CFO and other designated executive officers. In March 2021 and 2021 , the Compensation Committee granted RSUs to our NEOs earned for 2020 and 2021 performance under the Bonus Plan. In the future, we anticipate granting stock-based compensation awards to our NEOs only as earned under the Bonus Plan.

Executive Compensation Decisions

Assessment of 2021 and 2020 Executive Officer Compensation

As explained in greater detail in the following section, we took the following actions regarding executive compensation in August 2018:

•Ms. Timian-Palmer entered into an employment agreement with the Company in connection with her appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer.
•Mr. Webb entered into an amended employment agreement with the Company in connection with his appointment to a newly created position of Executive Chairman. On May 3, 2019 the former CFO left the Company and Mr. Webb was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, in addition to his duties as Executive Chairman.
•We adopted the Bonus Plan, which is effective from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022, which replaced and superseded the previous bonus plan maintained by the Company. Both Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb earned a bonus under the Bonus Plan, based on our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
•None of our executive officers were granted stock-based compensation in 2021 and 2020, other than RSUs granted in early 2021 and 2020 as a portion of their annual incentive awards earned (50%) with respect to 2020 and 2019 performance. Our executive officers elected to take 100% of the bonus earned with respect to 2020 performance in the form of RSUs which were granted to the executive officers in March, 2021. In March 2022, our executive officers were granted RSUs as a portion of their annual incentive awards earned (50%) with respect to 2021 performance.

2021 and 2020 Compensation

Base Salary:

In August, 2018, Ms. Timian - Palmer was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Webb was appointed Executive Chairman. Their respective annual salaries based on these appointments are set forth in the table below:
Officer 2020 Salary 2021 Salary 2022 Salary
Ms. Dorothy A. Timian-Palmer, President and CEO $ 388,993 $ 388,993 $ 388,993
Mr. Maxim C.W. Webb, Executive Chairman, CFO and Secretary $ 210,800 $ 210,800 $ 210,800

Bonus Plan in Effect for 2021 and 2020:

The Bonus Plan provides for the following key terms:

•The group of eligible employees consists of Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb.
•The bonus pool is calculated as described below.
•The amount of the bonus pool is the adjusted total net gain described below, multiplied by 8.75%.
•The allocation of the bonus pool is 55% for Ms. Timian-Palmer and 45% for Mr. Webb.
•Under the Bonus Plan, each bonus will be paid 50% in cash and 50% as RSUs granted during the 90-day period following the end of the performance year, subject to certain exceptions as further described below.

Under the Bonus Plan, a pool of funds will be created for distribution on a yearly basis (the "Bonus Pool").

The first step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to calculate the total revenues and other income of the Company during the year (other than any revenues or other income attributed to the Company's investments in Synthonics, Inc. and Mindjet Inc. and the Company's deferred compensation plans (the "Excluded Assets")) minus (i) the gross invested capital of each asset of the Company (other than an Excluded Asset) that was sold or otherwise disposed of during such year, defined as the book value of such asset as of the date of the sale (or other disposition) of such asset, as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and reflected in the Company's financial records as of such date, plus any impairment or depreciation charges taken by the Company with respect to such asset on or prior to such date; (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate of the gross invested capital for each relevant asset as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), multiplied by the amount of years (including any partial year) elapsed between January 1, 2018 and the date of the sale or other disposal of such asset, multiplied by 5%; and (iii) the administrative expenses specified in the Bonus Plan (such resulting amount, the "Total Net Gain").

With respect to assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) entirely for non-cash consideration, the calculation of Total Net Gain will instead be made in the year in which such non-cash consideration is ultimately sold (or otherwise disposed of) for cash.

With respect to all assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) partially for cash consideration and partially for non-cash consideration, except as described in this paragraph, the calculation of Total Net Gain will be made in the year of the initial sale (or other disposal). For purposes of such calculation, the Total Net Gain will be apportioned between the portion of the Total Net Gain on disposal for cash consideration and the portion of the Total Net Gain on disposal for non-cash consideration based on the relative value (determined in accordance with GAAP) of the cash consideration and non-cash consideration for which the relevant assets were sold (or otherwise disposed of). The Total Net Gain attributable to the non-cash consideration will be deferred to the year in which the non-cash consideration is sold (or otherwise disposed of) and may be increased or decreased in value by the difference, if any, between the value of the non-cash consideration received on the initial sale (or other disposition) of the relevant asset and the final value of the non-cash consideration (determined in accordance with GAAP) when sold (or otherwise disposed of) in a subsequent year.

38

The second step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to multiply the Total Net Gain by the "Adjustment Factor," which is the greater of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of cash distributed (or committed to be distributed) to the Company's shareholders with respect to the sale (or other disposition) of all such assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) during the year, and the denominator of which is the total amount of cash received (after payment of all selling costs, including bankers' fees and commissions) for which all such assets were sold (or otherwise disposed of) during the year, or (ii) such percentage (not to exceed 100%) as the Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion to utilize as the Adjustment Factor. The amount that results from multiplying the Total Net Gain by the Adjustment Factor is the "Adjusted Net Gain."

The final step in calculating the Bonus Pool is to multiply the Adjusted Net Gain by 8.75%, which results in the actual Bonus Pool. The Bonus Pool will be allocated 55% to Ms. Timian-Palmer and 45% to Mr. Webb. Each participant in the plan will be entitled to his or her allocated portion of the Bonus Pool for the year, if he or she is employed by the Company on the last day of the year. Any bonus paid pursuant to the Bonus Plan will be paid 50% in the form of cash and 50% in the form of a RSU award, unless a participant incurs a separation from service prior to the date that such RSU awards are scheduled to be granted, when the bonus will be paid entirely in the form of cash. RSU awards shall be granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 EIP"), will be fully vested on the date of grant, and the number of RSUs subject to such award will be equal to (x) the dollar value of 50% of the total amount of such bonus, divided by (y) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices (the "VWAP") of the Company's common stock for all of the trading days during the 30 calendar day period ending on (and including) the last trading day immediately prior to the grant date of such award, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The issuance of any shares pursuant to RSU awards will occur on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of grant of the RSU award, (ii) a participant's separation from service, or (iii) a change of control.

If a participant's employment with the Company is terminated in certain circumstances as provided in a written agreement between the Company and the participant, as applicable, the terminated individual will be entitled to payment of an amount under the Bonus Plan for a portion of the year in which such termination occurs. In order to calculate such amount, the Compensation Committee will first determine the Total Net Gain for the portion of the year prior to such individual's termination (which Total Net Gain will be determined in the same manner as described above based on the actual revenues or other income of the Company (including sales or other dispositions of assets) during such partial year period; provided, however, that the amount of administrative expenses for such portion of the year will be prorated based on the Compensation Committee's estimate of the total amount of administrative expenses for such year) (such amount, the "Pro Rata Net Gain"). Second, the Pro Rata Net Gain is multiplied by an adjustment factor which is the greater of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount of cash distributed (or committed to be distributed) to the Company's shareholders with respect to the sale (or other disposition) of all such assets sold (or otherwise disposed of) during such portion of the year, and the denominator of which is the total amount of cash received for which all such assets were sold (or otherwise disposed of) during such portion of the year, or (ii) such percentage (not to exceed 100%) as the Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion to utilize as the Adjustment Factor. The resulting amount is multiplied by 8.75% to arrive at the "Termination Bonus Pool." If a participant is entitled to payment of an amount under the Bonus Plan for the portion of the year in which such individual's termination occurs, the amount will be paid in the form of cash and will be equal to a percentage of the Termination Bonus Pool corresponding to such individual's allocated percentage of the Bonus Pool.

Based on our financial results an aggregate bonus of $1,087,524 and $20,519 was earned under the Bonus Plan during 2021 and 2020 respectively.

2021 and 2020 Equity Incentives

Ms. Timian - Palmer and Mr. Webb were granted RSUs in March 2022 for the portion of their annual incentive awards (50%) with respect to 2021 performance. In March 2021, Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb were granted RSUs in full satisfaction of their annual incentive rewards with respect to 2020 performance. In March 2020, RSU's were granted for the portion of their annual incentive awards to be satisfied in the form of RSUs (50%) with respect to 2019 performance.

During future years, we anticipate granting stock-based compensation to our NEOs only with respect to any awards earned under the Bonus Plan; however, the Compensation Committee retains the right to grant equity awards to our NEOs in the future at its discretion consistent with our compensation philosophy to incent and reward our NEOs.

39

Clawback Policy

We maintain a policy under which our CEO, CFO and other designated executive officers, are required to repay to us the amount of any annual cash incentive received to the extent that:

•The amount of the payment was based on the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement that occurs within 12 months of such payment;
•The executive officer engaged in theft, dishonesty, or intentional falsification of our documents or records that resulted in the obligation to restate our financial results; and
•A lower annual cash incentive would have been paid to the executive officer, based upon the restated financial results.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this repayment policy. We intend to amend our repayment policy to comply with any future changes to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 after the SEC adopts regulations implementing those requirements.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our stock ownership guidelines for our CEO and CFO help ensure that those officers maintain an equity stake in our Company, and by doing so, appropriately link their interests with those of other shareholders. We also have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors, which are addressed below in our discussion of director compensation. These ownership guidelines count shares actually owned, vested deferred stock units, and 50% of the vested stock options toward the equity ownership requirement. Until the applicable stock ownership guideline is achieved, the officer is required to retain 25% of the net shares received as a result of the exercise of stock options and settlement of RSUs. Each of our executive officers is in compliance with the guidelines.

The guidelines are as follows:
Role Ownership Guideline
CEO lesser of 275,000 shares or 3x base salary
CFO lesser of 18,000 shares or 1x base salary
Other designated executive officers lesser of 10,000 shares or 1x base salary
Termination and Change in Control

We provide certain termination of employment payments and benefits to our NEOs. We provide these payments and benefits to help retain and recruit our NEOs, which is a primary objective of our executive compensation program. We believe that providing certain benefits allows and encourages our NEOs to focus on the strategic review process and our on-going business and what is in the best interests of our shareholders regardless of the potential impact on them personally. Our Compensation Committee determined the level of benefits based on a review of the market, the recommendations of management, and considering the nature of our business and executive compensation program.

All stock-based awards for our executives provide that the unvested equity awards assumed by a buyer in the event of a change of control would not automatically accelerate at the close of the transaction (that is, we have no "single trigger" benefits) and instead vesting would only accelerate if there is a qualifying termination following the change in control (i.e., "double trigger" treatment of unvested awards).

See "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control" for a more detailed description of our termination and change in control benefits for the NEOs.

Tax and Accounting Treatment of Compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, annual compensation in excess of $1 million to certain of our covered executive officers is not deductible as compensation expense for United States federal income tax purposes. However, under tax laws in effect prior to January 1, 2018, certain types of compensation, including performance-based compensation, may be exempt from this limit if the material terms of the performance goals under which the compensation is to paid have been disclosed to, and subsequently approved by the shareholders, and the additional requirements for exemption have been satisfied. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), among other changes, repealed the exception from the deduction limit under Section 162(m) for performance-based compensation effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, so that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1 million will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017, that are not materially modified after that date, In structuring the annual and equity incentive awards for our NEOs for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, we have considered Section 162(m) and how compensation must be structured in order to qualify as "performance-based compensation." However, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) as revised by the Tax Act, including the uncertain scope of the transition relief adopted in connection with repealing Section 162(m)'s performance-based compensation exception, no assurance can be given that previously granted compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation will in fact qualify for such exception. The Compensation Committee will administer any awards granted prior to November 2, 2017 which qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), as amended by the Tax Act, in accordance with the transition rules applicable to binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, and will have the sole discretion to revise compensation arrangements to conform with the Tax Act and the Compensation Committee's administrative practices, all without obtaining further shareholder approval. In addition, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from the Section 162(m) deduction limit when it was granted, if the Compensation Committee determines that such modifications are consistent with our business needs. In determining the form and amount of compensation for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee will continue to consider all elements of the cost of such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 162(m). While the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, even if the awards are not deductible by us for tax purposes.

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, must comply with certain requirements related to the timing of deferral and distribution decisions, otherwise amounts deferred under the plan could be included in gross income when earned and be subject to additional penalty taxes. We administer our equity plans and equity awards in accordance with Section 409A requirements.

Compensation Risk Management

The Compensation Committee considered the risk in our compensation programs and practices and determined:
l Our focus is on monetizing assets and returning capital to shareholders which could include entering into joint ventures or other arrangements with reasonable leverage; and this focus is conducive to minimizing compensation related risks;
l Our incentive plans are well designed, effectively administered, focused on relevant performance measures;
l Our plans are reasonable with respect to potential compensation levels;
l The elements of our compensation plan are appropriately weighted in our overall mix to achieve a balance between operating results and strategic results;
l Base salaries for executive officers are sufficiently competitive to eliminate the need for them to take unnecessary risk in order to earn large incentives necessary to provide adequate cash compensation;
l Our insider trading policies, independent oversight by the Compensation Committee, and our stock ownership guidelines and "claw back policy" mitigate any potential risks in our compensation programs.

Based on this review, the Compensation Committee concluded that our compensation policies, plans, and practices do not encourage unnecessary or unreasonable risk-taking and do not encourage executives or employees to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

(1) The SEC's current executive compensation disclosure rules require us to value stock awards and option awards reported in the following table using the grant date fair value of the awards, rather than using the amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes to value these awards. Nonetheless, the reported values reflect the aggregate grant date fair value, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. As these values reflect the aggregate grant date fair value, they do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may be recognized. The assumptions that we made to determine the value of our awards for accounting purposes are described in detail in Note 6 titled Stock-Based Compensation in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022 The amounts reported in 2021 represent 50% of the total bonus earned for the year under the Bonus Plan. Such stock awards were granted in the form of RSU in March, 2022. The amounts reported in 2020 represent 100% of the total bonus earned for the year under the Bonus Plan. Such stock awards were granted in the form of RSUs during 2021. The RSUs vest on the date of grant but are not settled in stock for three years from the date of grant.

The PBOs include a market condition based on the achievement of a stock price target during the contractual term and vest monthly over a three year period. Any vested portion of the options may be exercised only if the 30-trading-day average closing sales price of our common stock equals or exceeds 125% of the grant date stock price. The stock price contingency may be met any time before the options expire and it only needs to be met once for the PBO to remain exercisable for the remainder of the term. All of the PBOs were vested but unexercisable as the stock price contingency had not been met as of December 31, 2021.

42

Mr. Webb and Ms. Timian-Palmer had 20,810 and 25,436 RSU's outstanding as of December 31, 2021 that have been fully vested, but will be issued on the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) a participant's separation from service, or (iii) a change of control.

The following section describes the payments and benefits that our NEOs may receive in connection with their termination of employment with us, or in connection with a change in control of our Company. See our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for a discussion of how the payments and benefits presented below were determined.

2014 Equity Incentive Plan:

Upon a change in control of our Company, the plan administrator has the discretion to take any of the following actions with respect to stock awards:

•accelerate the exercisability, vesting and/or settlement of any outstanding stock award or portion thereof;
•provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of an outstanding stock award or portion thereof by a surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof; or
•cancel any outstanding stock award, or portion thereof, denominated in shares of common stock in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined) of common stock subject to such canceled stock award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of our Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the change in control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall have a fair market value equal to the fair market value of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock in the change in control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such stock award.

Under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, a "change in control" is generally the consummation of (i) the acquisition by a person or entity, directly or indirectly, of securities of our Company representing more than 50% of the total fair market value or total combined voting power of our Company's then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (ii) a transaction or series of related transactions in which the shareholders of our Company immediately before the transaction do not retain immediately after the transaction direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or (iii) a date specified by the plan administrator following approval by the shareholders of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of our Company.

As indicated in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table above, the only outstanding equity awards held by our NEOs at the end of 2021 were RSUs and PBOs. Using the "in-the-money" value model, the value of the PBO awarded to our NEOs (assuming a change in control of our Company had occurred as of December 31, 2021) would be zero because the exercise price of all PBOs granted before December 31, 2021, was greater than $12.08, the closing market price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on December 31, 2021.

Employment Agreements and Transition Agreements:

At December 31, 2021, we had employment agreements with each of our NEOs. If an NEO is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, the Company will provide the NEO, contingent upon a general release of claims against the Company, the following:

•(i) with respect to Ms. Timian-Palmer, a lump-sum payment equal to her then-current base salary for a period equal to 36 months; and (ii) with respect to Mr. Webb, a lump sum payment equal to 24 months of his base salary as in effect immediately prior to August 6, 2018;

•with respect to Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb, a bonus, if any, pursuant to the Company's executive Bonus Plan, in an amount determined by the Compensation Committee pursuant to the terms of the executive Bonus Plan;

•with respect to Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb, payment of the cost of COBRA coverage for such individual and his or her dependents through the earlier of a period of one year or the date such individual becomes eligible for health coverage from another employer; and

•with respect to Ms. Timian-Palmer and Mr. Webb, full vesting of all outstanding equity awards held by such individual.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

In November 2017, the Board of Directors amended our then existing director compensation plan to reduce directors compensation effective on January 1, 2018 (the "2018 Plan"), and in March 2018 the Board of Directors amended the 2018 Plan to further reduce directors compensation, effective on May 3, 2018 (the "Amended 2018 Plan").

The 2018 Plan:

Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan, each non-employee member of the Board was entitled to receive an annual retainer, in the amounts described below, which was payable through either cash or RSU awards at each such director's election. Additionally, the Lead Independent Director was entitled to an additional retainer payable through either cash or RSU awards at the Lead Director's election.
Type of Annual Retainer Dollar Value
Per Calendar Year If Paid Fully in Cash
("Cash Dollar Value")		 Dollar Value
Per Calendar Year If Paid Fully in RSUs
("RSU Dollar Value")
Board Lead Independent Director $20,000 $25,000
Member $35,000 $43,750

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan, each non-employee member of the Board is entitled to receive an RSU award for each calendar year of service as a member of the Board. The number of RSUs subject to each annual award was equal to (i) $75,000, divided by (ii) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Company's common stock for all of the trading days during the 30 calendar day period ending on (and including) the last trading day immediately prior to the grant date of such annual award, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each annual award is made under the Company's 2014 equity incentive plan, is granted on the first trading day in January of the applicable calendar year of service and, except for acceleration upon a change of control, vests in substantially equal quarterly installments on the grant date of such annual award and on April 1, July 1 and October 1 of the calendar year in which such annual award is granted, subject to the director's continued service. The issuance of any vested shares pursuant to such RSU awards will occur on the date of such director's separation from service.

The 2018 Plan reduced the annual cash retainer payable to non-employee directors from $50,000 to $35,000, eliminated the additional annual cash retainer payable to the Chairman of the Board, and eliminated the additional annual cash retainer payable to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

Mr. Speron notified us of his election to receive the entire annual retainer during 2018 in cash and to forego his receipt of the annual restricted stock unit award otherwise provided for under the 2018 Plan. Mr. Speron continued to not be directly compensated for his service on the Board, and directed his entire annual retainer for service on our Board be paid in cash to the First Foundation Total Return Fund, which Mr. Speron currently manages.

Mr. Bylinsky notified us of his election to forego his annual restricted stock unit award for 2018 and elected to only receive his annual retainer of $35,000 for service on the Board during 2018. Mr. Bylinsky elected to take his annual retainer in the form of RSUs, the value of which were approximately $43,750.

The Amended 2018 Plan:

In March 2018, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors approved the Amended 2018 Plan, effective on May 3, 2018, and replaced and superseded the 2018 Plan. The Amended 2018 Plan is identical to the 2018 Plan, except that the Amended 2018 Plan eliminates the annual cash retainer payable to the Lead Independent Director and the annual restricted stock unit award provided for under the 2018 Plan. As a result of the amendment to the 2018 Plan, annual Director compensation from May 3, 2018, was $35,000, if compensation is elected to be in cash or $43,750 if compensation is elected to be in the form of RSUs.
Dollar Value
Per Calendar Year If Paid Fully in Cash
("Cash Dollar Value")		 Dollar Value
Per Calendar Year If Paid Fully in RSUs
("RSU Dollar Value")
$35,000 $43,750

If a director received any portion of an annual retainer in the form of an RSU award, such RSU award was granted under the Company's 2014 equity incentive plan on the first trading day in January of the applicable calendar year of service and, except for acceleration upon a change of control, vests in substantially equal quarterly installments on the grant date of such award and on April 1, July 1, and October 1 of the calendar year in which such award is granted, subject to the director's continued service. The number of RSUs subject to such award is equal to (x) the dollar value of such portion divided by (y) the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Company's common stock for all of the trading days during the 30 calendar day period ending on (and including) the last trading day immediately prior to the grant date of such award, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The issuance of any vested shares pursuant to such RSU awards will occur on the date of such director's separation from service.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information, as of April 15, 2022, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each person whom we know to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock based upon Schedule 13G and Schedule 13D reports filed with the SEC, (ii) each of our directors and director nominees, (iii) each NEO listed in our Summary Compensation Table, and (iv) all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address for each person is 3480 GS Richards Blvd., Suite 101 Carson City, Nevada 89703. The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities that a person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities in which he has no economic interest.

Except as otherwise noted, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock reflected as beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. As of April 15, 2022, there were 18,299,879 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Based on a Form 4 filed on February 17, 2022, by Gregory Bylinsky, who is one of our directors. Bandera Partners LLC is the investment manager of Bandera Master Fund L.P., in whose name 1,049,432 of our shares are held. Messrs. Gregory Bylinsky and Jefferson Gramm are Managing Partners, Managing Directors, and Portfolio Managers of Bandera Partners LLC. Bandera Master Fund L.P. has delegated to Bandera Partners the sole and exclusive authority to vote and dispose of the securities held by Bandera Master Fund. As a result, each of Bandera Partners and Messrs. Bylinsky and Gramm may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Bandera Master Fund. Mr. Bylinsky expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. In addition, Mr. Bylinsky holds 25,686 vested RSUs that will not be settled in shares of our common stock until the date of Mr. Bylinsky's termination of service as a member of the Board, and no RSUs that will vest within 60 days.

Shares shown as beneficially owned by the NEO do not include shares issuable upon exercise of PBOs (Performance Based Options), which may be exercisable within 60 days, because none of the vested PBO had met the stock price contingency as of April 15, 2022.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

We currently maintain one equity compensation plan, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholders in 2014. The following table sets forth information with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards and remaining available for issuance under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2021.
(a) (b) (c)
Plan Category Number of Securities To Be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (Excluding Securities Reflected in Column (a))
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders (1)
188,793 $ 14.51 2,721,063
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders (2)
(1) Column (a) represents the total number of underlying shares that could be issued upon the stock settlement of RSUs granted, the exercise of vested PBOs, and column (c) represents awards available for future issuances under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. In accordance with SEC disclosure rules, the weighted-average exercise price reported in column (b) does not take into account RSUs, because they have no exercise price. The actual number of shares to be issued to an employee upon vesting and stock settlement of an RSU will be based on the total number of shares of stock issued after vesting, minus applicable taxes withheld in the form of shares. The actual number of shares to be issued to an employee who exercises a vested PBO, after the price contingency has been met, will be based on the exercise value times the number of PBOs exercised, minus applicable taxes withheld in the form of shares. As of December 31, 2021, there were no PBOs exercisable as the market condition had not been met and therefore no additional shares would be issued upon assumed exercise of the PBOs. Of the shares of stock to be issued upon exercise of outstanding awards in column (a) 95,238 shares are underlying PBO that are fully vested.
(2) We have no equity compensation plans that have not been approved by our shareholders.
