On December 22, 2023, Allen Hartman and the other members of the Hartman Group distributed the message below to the stockholders of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc.:
Subject Line: Your Silver Star Investment: Message from Allen Hartman
Silver Star Shareholder,
You may have received information from Silver Star regarding a consent solicitation. We will be sending you a consent revocation statement. I strongly urge you to not vote in Silver Star’s consent solicitation, for the following reasons:
| · | Silver Star’s rogue Board of Directors has ignored my demands for a liquidation mandated by the Company’s charter, and instead has named Haddock as the CEO of the Company and has awarded themselves Performance Units which we expect to have a potentially significant value. |
| · | Their plans to reposition Silver Star as a self-storage company with their very limited self-storage experience puts your money at risk and delays a return of your investment. |
| · | A vote for Silver Star’s consent solicitation would entrench the rogue directors as board members and could block you from having a choice at an annual meeting. |
| · | As the largest shareholder, I have suffered losses of value due to their mismanagement. The Company’s occupancy has declined precipitously since they fired me and took over. |
| · | After firing me, they hired two outside CEOs that have both turned over with no notice in the last year. |
| · | The Company’s independent auditor recently terminated their relationship with the Company. |
| · | They are willing to say anything, regardless of its truth. |
Is this who you want to be managing your hard-earned money, or do you want it back? We will be sending our consent revocation statement. We urge you not to vote in Silver Star’s consent solicitation.
Please see the full story in the attached and linked press release (https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/12/14/2796631/0/en/Allen-Hartman-and-the-Hartman-Group-Largest-Stockholder-of-Silver-Star-Properties-Announces-Opposition-to-Company-s-Consent-Solicitation.html).
Should you have any questions, please contact our proxy solicitor at the below contact information. With your help, we will regain control of this company, and return your capital to you.
Yours Truly,
Allen R Hartman
Former CEO, Director, and Largest Shareholder of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc.
