Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On April 11, 2024, Presidio Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Presidio”), sent a letter to Zuma Capital Management, LLC (“Zuma”) with respect to the purported notice of nominations submitted to Presidio by Zuma on December 19, 2023, as purported to be supplemented on January 4, 2024, January 25, 2024, February 23, 2024, and March 15, 2024 (collectively, the “Zuma Purported Notice of Nominations”).
