SRT Shareholder’s Director-Candidate message
TODD SPITZER: We have a real a disconnect today between the shareholders who are looking to this REIT, SRT, to protect their capital and their investment, and ensuring that there’s accountability and transparency and ethical conduct and the direction this REIT’s going today.
TODD SPITZER: It started out to be an excellent investment and it was properly recommended but under the stewardship of the present board of directors, who call themselves independent, and in my opinion they’re not independent at all. They’re better characterized as dependent directors. And today the SRT REIT is completely contrary to what I stand for as an elected official and as a private attorney representing clients, and that’s accountability, transparency and ensuring that we have both an ethical, moral and legal obligation to the people we represent. In this case that’s the Shareholders.
TODD SPITZER: Today if one of the Shareholders dies, the REIT does not pay their estate that particular investment. That was a benefit that this REIT used to have and that went away as well. So there’s a lot of expectations that investors had here that have been, really, extinguished or liquidated under the present leadership of this particular REIT.
TODD SPITZER: Because the REIT was incorporated in the state of Maryland, they ran into the state of Maryland and decided that they could change the bylaws to benefit their own incumbency. To protect themselves not only necessarily from having to call a shareholders meeting but making it very, very difficult-going from a 10% threshold to call a shareholders meeting to a 50% threshold to call a shareholders meeting.
TODD SPITZER: They completely changed the rules of the game midstream. Not only to protect themselves but to do one thing that I think all of us are deeply offended by, which is: the individuals who invested in this REIT lost their voice in that process by making it more difficult for the shareholders to express their voice in how their money is gonna be spent.
TODD SPITZER: That in and of itself is every reason for people to return the cards that allow us to call for a vote as well as to “throw the bums out.” In my career, more than 30 years of public service, whether a prosecutor in the courtroom protecting crime victims, or being on the streets of Los Angeles, protecting communities, I’ve always fought for the underdog.
TODD SPITZER: And what I see with the SRT REIT is this excellent investment is in harm’s way. And, as an independent director candidate, I feel its really incumbent on me to go out there and take charge and fight for the Shareholders.
TODD SPITZER: We have to protect the Shareholders.
