This 424B3 prospectus supplement details two capital structure transactions that occurred on February 26, 2026. The company issued 60,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 8.33% dilution of its current market capitalization, in exchange for Series B and Series D Preferred Stock. While this move retires preferred shares and reduces future dividend obligations, it significantly dilutes existing common shareholders. Additionally, the company issued 80,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in exchange for preferred stock of its subsidiary, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc., further adjusting its capital structure without receiving direct cash proceeds. These transactions highlight ongoing efforts to manage the company's complex capital structure, but the substantial common stock dilution is a negative signal for common equity investors.
