PROXY STATEMENT

2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OCTOBER 27, 2023

This proxy statement contains information relating to the 2023 annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of stockholders of MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”), to be held on October 27, 2023 beginning at 11 a.m., local time, at our offices at 89 Davis Road, Suite 100, Orinda, CA, and any postponements or adjournments thereof, and is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors to be voted at the Annual Meeting.  Stockholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the meeting as set forth in this proxy statement.  This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 4, 2023.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on October 27, 2023. The Notice of 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement and Proxy Card are available at http://www.mackenzierealty.com. On this site, you will be able to access our Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements to the foregoing materials that are required to be furnished to stockholders.

We encourage you to vote your shares, either by voting in person at the meeting or by authorizing a proxy (i.e., authorizing someone to vote your shares). You may authorize a proxy by telephone by using the toll-free number listed on the proxy card or you may mark, date, sign and mail the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by authorizing a proxy, the proxy holders will vote the shares according to your instructions. If you give no instructions on the proxy card, the shares covered by the proxy card will be voted “FOR” the election of the director nominees, and “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) is not aware of any matter to be properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than the matters described herein. If any motion properly presented at the meeting requiring a vote of stockholders arises, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matter in accordance with their discretion. The stockholders of the Company have no dissenter’s or appraisal rights in connection with any of the proposals described herein.

You may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. You may accomplish this by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy instructions) by sending a written revocation of proxy to the Company at its principal executive office via mail or submitting a subsequent proxy by telephone, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously authorized proxy to be revoked unless you specifically request to vote the shares.

If you receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card, it means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all proxy and voting instruction cards you receive. We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Annual Meeting Purpose

At our Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon (i) the election of three directors to serve until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) the ratification of the selection of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024; and (iii) to consider such other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.


Record Date & Quorum

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date for the Annual Meeting are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.  If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you owned of record on that date at the Annual Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. There were 13,305,608.63 shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of shares of stock entitled to cast at least 50% of the votes entitled to be cast will constitute a quorum.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Submitting Voting Instructions for Shares Held Through a Nominee

If you hold shares of common stock through a bank or other nominee, you must follow the voting instructions you receive from your bank or nominee. If you hold shares of common stock through a bank or other nominee and you want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares and present it at the Annual Meeting. You may also authorize a proxy to vote your shares by telephone if your bank or other nominee makes these methods available, in which case your bank or other nominee has provided applicable instructions to do so. If you do not submit voting instructions to your bank or other nominee, your bank or other nominee is not permitted to vote your shares on any proposal properly presented at the Annual Meeting (other than Proposal 2).

Authorizing a Proxy for Shares Held in Your Name

Shares held by a bank or other nominee for which the nominee has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on certain proposals (which are considered “broker non-votes” with respect to such proposals) will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. Abstentions will also be treated as shares present for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the meeting.

If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, your broker or nominee may vote your shares only on those proposals on which it has discretion to vote. “Broker non-votes” represent votes that could have been cast on a particular matter by a brokerage firm, as a stockholder of record, but that were not cast because the brokerage firm lacked discretionary voting authority on the matter and did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

Whether you vote in person, by mail or by telephone you may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. You may accomplish this by submitting by mail or by telephone, a properly executed, later-dated proxy, which automatically revokes the earlier proxy instructions, by giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing before or at the Annual Meeting or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Votes Required to Adopt the Proposals

Election of Directors. The election of a director requires the vote of a plurality of all the votes cast. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.  If you vote to withhold authority with respect to a nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to the person indicated. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted towards a nominee’s achievement of a plurality.

Ratification of Selection of Moss Adams LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024. The ratification of the selection of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.  Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.


Information Regarding this Solicitation

The proxies being solicited hereby are being solicited by our Board.  The cost of soliciting proxies in the enclosed form will be paid by us. We have retained Alliance Advisors, LLC to aid in the solicitation of proxies. We will pay Alliance Advisors a fee of approximately $5,000 in addition to certain variable costs related to proxy solicitation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.  Our officers and regular employees and MCM Advisers, LP and/or MacKenzie Real Estate Advisers, LP, which we refer to as our “Adviser” or “Advisers” and MacKenzie Capital Management, LP, which we refer to as our “Manager,” may, but without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies by further mailing or personal conversations, or by telephone, facsimile or electronic means.  We will, upon request, reimburse others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners & Management

As of the Record Date, to our knowledge, there were no persons that owned 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities and no person would be deemed to control us.  Our directors are divided into two groups — non-independent directors and independent directors. Independent directors are defined by the New York Stock Exchange independence standards.

The following table shows the amount of our common and preferred stock beneficially owned and based on a total of 13,305,608.63 shares of our common stock and 720,626.1050 shares of preferred stock outstanding on August 30, 2023, as of that date, by (1) each of our directors and nominees or director, (2) our executive officers and (3) all directors and executive officers as a group. To our knowledge, no other person owns more than 5% of our common or preferred stock. The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of August 30, 2023, through the exercise of any instrument. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has the sole investment and voting power, or shares such powers with his spouse, with respect to the shares set forth in the table. Unless known otherwise by us, the beneficial ownership information is based on each beneficial owner’s most recent Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, as applicable.  With respect to the Executive Officers listed below, they are limited partners of MPF Successors, LP, as well as officers of its general partner, which owns 53,862.36 shares in us, and Mr. Sherpa owns 1,549.03 shares directly. Mr. C. E. Patterson and his spouse are the sole beneficial owners of 10,753 shares owned in a personal holdings limited partnership, and the executive officers below are also in control of its general partner. Thus, they are all deemed to have voting and dispositive control over such shares and the number of shares owned below is the number of shares owned by MPF Successors, LP and the personal holding partnership. The address of each beneficial owner is 89 Davis Road, Orinda, CA 94563.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Articles of Amendment and Restatement of our Charter (our “Charter”), provide that we will have at least three directors, which number may be increased (or subsequently decreased after an increase) by the Board under our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).  There are currently three directors, including two directors who are independent directors as defined by the NYSE Board Independence Standards (the “Independent Directors”).

At each annual meeting of stockholders, each director is elected for a one-year term expiring at the following annual meeting. Each director holds office until his/her successor is elected and qualified.

Mr. Tim Dozois, Mr. Tom Frame, and Mr. Charles “Chip” Patterson have each been nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the 2024 annual meeting of our stockholders and until a successor for any of them is duly elected and qualified.  In the election of the directors, you may vote “FOR” the nominee or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to the nominee.  Each of the nominees has consented to serve if elected.  As of the mailing of these proxy materials, the Board knows of no reason why any nominee would be unable to serve as a director.  If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, the nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, it is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote to elect a substitute nominee designated by the Board.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board recommends that each stockholder vote “FOR” the re-election of Messrs. Dozois, Frame, and Patterson as directors.

Information About the Directors

Information about the nominees for re-election at the meeting is provided below.  The nominees for re-election as directors currently serve as directors of the Company.  The Board believes that it is necessary for each of the Company’s directors to possess many qualities and skills.  If we have a vacancy, when searching for new candidates, the Nominating Committee will consider the evolving needs of the Board and will search for candidates that fill any gap.  The Board also believes that all directors must possess a considerable amount of business management and educational experience. The Nominating Committee will first consider a candidate’s management experience and then considers issues of judgment, background, stature, conflicts of interest, integrity, ethics and commitment to the goal of maximizing stockholder value when considering director candidates.  The Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, the Board and the Nominating Committee believe that it is important that the members of the Board represent diverse viewpoints. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials in the context of these standards.  When nominating continuing directors for re-election, the individual’s contributions to the Board are also considered.

The Board believes that each of our directors and nominee is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board. All of our directors and nominee bring to our Board a wealth of industry experience.  Our directors are highly educated and have diverse backgrounds and talents and extensive track records of success in what we believe are relevant positions with reputable organizations. Individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole are described below.  None of the below directors’ serves as a director for a company (other than MRC) with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). The experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills each of the directors as listed below have led us to the conclusion that they should serve as our directors in light of our business and structure.

Mr. Dozois received his B.S. in Financial Management from Oregon State University and his J.D. from the University of Oregon School of Law, where he was Order of the Coif.

Director
 
Since 2012
 
Mr. Frame, an MRC director since May of 2012, was a co-founder of TransCentury Property Management and solely founded Paradigm Investment Corporation.  TransCentury began in May of 1973 and has syndicated and managed over 10,000 residential units. During the last 35 years, Mr. Frame has been a principal in the acquisition, financing, restoration, and sale of over $500,000,000 in residential and commercial real estate.  Paradigm was founded in June 1986 to sponsor and manage private, closed end “mutual funds.”  Paradigm managed a portfolio of over $7,000,000 in limited partnership securities.  The last of the funds successfully liquidated in December of 2000.
Mr. Frame received a B.S. degree in Mathematics from the University of Kansas in June 1964, a J.D. degree from the San Francisco Law School in June 1975, and a M.B.A. with honors from Pepperdine University in April 1986.  Mr. Frame is currently managing his own investments which include residential units, commercial property, and a portfolio of securities.
We believe Mr. Frame is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors because of his experience in property management, real estate transactions and financing and the management of private investment funds.

Meetings of the Board of Directors & Committees

The Board of Directors provides overall guidance and supervision with respect to our operations and performs the various responsibilities imposed on the directors of a public reporting company. Among other things, the Board supervises our management arrangements, the custodial arrangements with respect to portfolio securities, the selection of accountants, and real estate portfolio adjustments.  All actions taken by the Board are taken by majority vote unless a higher percentage is required by law or our Charter or Bylaws require that the actions be approved by a majority of the directors who are independent.

During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”), the Board or its committees met 5 times. Each director attended all meetings held by the Board and of the committees of the Board on which he served. The Annual Meeting is our ninth annual stockholders’ meeting.

Board Leadership Structure
Our Board monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to our business and affairs, including with respect to investment practices and performance, compliance with regulatory requirements and the services, expenses and performance of our service providers. Among other things, our Board approves the appointment of our Advisers and our officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by our Advisers and our executive officers and approves the engagement, and reviews the performance of, our independent registered public accounting firm.  Our Board also quarterly ratifies our Advisers’ selection of real estate purchases and, if applicable, securities for our portfolio.
Under our Bylaws, our Board may designate a chairman to preside over the meetings of the Board and meetings of the stockholders and to perform such other duties as may be assigned to him by the Board. We do not have a fixed policy as to whether the chairman of the Board should be an Independent Director and believe that we should maintain the flexibility to select the chairman and reorganize the leadership structure, from time to time, based on the criteria that is in our best interests and our stockholders best interests at such times.
Chip Patterson serves as the chairman of our Board.
Our Board does not currently have a designated lead Independent Director.  We are aware of the potential conflicts that may arise when a non-Independent Director is chairman of the board, but believe these potential conflicts are offset by our strong corporate governance policies.  Our corporate governance policies include regular meetings of the Independent Directors in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management, the establishment of audit and nominating and corporate governance committees comprised solely of Independent Directors and the appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer (our “CCO”), with whom the Independent Directors may meet without the presence of non-independent directors and other members of management, for administering our compliance policies and procedures.

We recognize that different board leadership structures are appropriate for companies in different situations. We believe that the Board’s structure is appropriate for our operations as a REIT and having a class of securities which is registered under the 1934 Act, in that its members possess an appropriate depth and breadth of experience relating to our planned investment program.  We intend to re-examine our corporate governance policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that they continue to meet our needs.
Board’s Role In Risk Oversight
Our Board performs its risk oversight function primarily through (i) its two standing committees, which report to the entire Board of Directors and are comprised solely of Independent Directors, and (ii) active monitoring of our chief compliance officer and our compliance policies and procedures.
As described below in more detail under “Committees of the Board of Directors,” the audit committee (“Audit Committee”) and the Nominating Committee assist the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, our systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting, our valuation process, and audits of our financial statements. The Nominating Committee’s risk oversight responsibilities include selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and our management.
Our Board also performs its risk oversight responsibilities with the assistance of the CCO. The Board reviews written reports from the CCO discussing the adequacy and effectiveness of our compliance policies and procedures.  The CCO’s report addresses (i) the operation of our compliance policies and procedures; (ii) any material changes to such policies and procedures since the last report; (iii) any recommendations for material changes to such policies and procedures as a result of the CCO’s review; and (iv) any compliance matter that has occurred since the date of the last report about which the Board would reasonably need to know to oversee our compliance activities and risks.  In addition, the CCO may meet separately in executive session with the Independent Directors.
We believe that our Board’s role in risk oversight is effective, and appropriate given the extensive regulation to which we are already subject as a public reporting company, which requires us to comply with certain regulatory requirements that control the levels of risk in our business and operations.
Committees of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee have been established by our Board.  All directors are expected to attend at least 75.0% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the respective committees on which they serve.  We require each director to make a diligent effort to attend all Board and committee meetings as well as each annual meeting of our stockholders.
Audit Committee

The Audit Committee operates under a charter approved by our Board, which contains the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include establishing guidelines and making recommendations to our Board regarding the valuation of our loans and investments, selecting our independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing with such independent registered public accounting firm the planning, scope and results of their audit of our financial statements, pre‑approving the fees for services performed, reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy of internal control systems, reviewing our annual financial statements and periodic filings and receiving our audit reports and financial statements. The Audit Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Dozois and Frame, both of whom are Independent Directors.  Mr. Dozois serves as chairman of the Audit Committee and has been deemed a “financial expert” under SEC rules.
The charter of the Audit Committee is available on our website (www.mackenzierealty.com). Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that we file with the SEC.  The Audit Committee met 4 times during Fiscal 2023.


Nominating Committee
The Nominating Committee operates under a charter approved by our Board. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Dozois and Frame, both of whom are Independent Directors.  Mr. Frame serves as chairman of the Nominating Committee.  The Nominating Committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee thereof, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and our management. Stockholders have not made any nominations to the Nominating Committee of candidates for the Board.
The Nominating Committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board, our operations, and our stockholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the Nominating Committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the desirability of selecting directors who:
are of high character and integrity;
are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;
have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management;
have sufficient time available to devote to our affairs;
are able to work with the other members of the Board and contribute to our success;
can represent the long-term interests of our stockholders as a whole; and
are selected such that the Board of Directors represents a range of backgrounds and experience.
The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees.  In determining whether to recommend a director nominee, the Nominating Committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board as a whole. The Nominating Committee generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities that contribute to the Board, when identifying and recommending director nominees. The Nominating Committee believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting director nominees is consistent with the Nominating Committee’s goal of creating a Board that best serves our needs and the interests of our stockholders.
The charter of the Nominating Committee is available on our website (www.mackenzierealty.com). Information contained on or connected to our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that we file with the SEC. The Nominating Committee met 1 time during Fiscal 2023.
Compensation Committee
We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us.

Mail addressed to “Outside Directors,” “Independent Directors,” or “Non-Management Directors” will be forwarded or delivered to our Independent Directors.

Corporate Governance

We are a Maryland corporation subject to the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. Our day-to-day operations and requirements as to the place and time, conduct and voting at a meeting of stockholders are governed by our Charter and Bylaws, the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the provisions of the 1934 Act. A copy of the Charter and Bylaws, corporate governance guidelines and the charters of the Audit and Nominating Committees may be obtained by submitting a request in writing to MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 89 Davis Road, Suite 100, Orinda, CA 94563.

Code of Ethics

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests.  Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our CCO.  Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics.
Independent Directors

The Board undertook its annual review of director independence in October 2022.  During this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his immediate family and us.  The Board also examined transactions and relationships between directors or their affiliates and members of our senior management or their affiliates.  The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.  As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors are independent of us and our management with the exception of Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson is considered a non-independent director because of his relationships with the Advisers and our Manager.  The board expects to conduct a similar review at its annual meeting to be held on October 24, 2023.

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us.  We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees.  Services necessary for our business are provided by individuals who are employees of our Advisers and our Manager, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreements with our Advisers (as amended effective January 1, 2021, the “Advisory Agreements”) and the Administration Agreement with our Manager (the “Administration Agreement”), respectively.  Each of our executive officers is an employee of either the Advisers or the Manager.  Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by the Advisers.  Most of the services necessary for the origination and administration of our investment portfolio are provided by investment professionals employed by the Advisers.  In addition, we reimburse our Manager for our allocable portion of expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs.

Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers did not earn any incentive advisory fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) or the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”), respectively. In addition, during Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, we reimbursed our Manager $726,000 and $609,600, respectively, in connection with our allocable portion of certain expenses under the Administration Agreement.  The Asset Management Fee was $3,004,725 and $2,725,588 for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively, and the Acquisition Fees were $1,878,356 and $793,919 for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022, respectively.

Our Independent Directors received an annual retainer of $28,000 for fiscal years up to June 30, 2022; the annual retainer was increased to $48,000 per year beginning July 1, 2022, because the Directors approved of the Company discontinuing directors’ liability insurance due to the exorbitant cost. They also receive $1,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each Board meeting in person and $500 for each telephonic meeting, and also receive $500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each committee meeting.  In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual fee of $1,000 and each chairman of any other committee receives an annual fee of $1,000 for their additional services, if any, in these capacities.  No compensation is expected to be paid to directors who are not Independent Directors.

Compensation of Executive Officers

None of our officers receives direct compensation from us.  However, all of the executive officers, through their indirect financial interest in the Advisers, will be entitled to a portion of any investment advisory fees paid by us to the Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. The Advisory Agreements will be reapproved on an annual basis, by our Board, including a majority of our Independent Directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We do not have a separate compensation committee utilized to determine the appropriate compensation payable to our executive officers and directors.  The Audit Committee, however, is responsible for, among other things, annually reviewing and approving the compensation policies for our directors.

Certain Relationships & Related Transactions

Advisory & Administration Agreements

We entered into the Advisory Agreement with MCM Advisers, LP, which is owned by MPF Founders LP, MPF Principals LP, and MPF Successors LP and with MacKenzie Real Estate Advisers, LP, which is owned by the same individuals as own the owners of MCM Advisers, LP.  Our executive officers are employees of the Advisers, and our non-Independent Director has extensive relationships with Advisers.  The Advisers’ address is 89 Davis Road, Suite 100, Orinda, CA 94563.  The Advisers’ affiliates manage several private equity funds, and it and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours.

The Advisers and affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds.  In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the Advisers or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds.  Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and consistent with our Advisers’ allocation procedures, available upon request.

MacKenzie Capital Management, a California limited partnership, serves as our manager and administrator. The principal executive offices of our Manager are located at 89 Davis Road, Suite 100, Orinda, CA. Our non-independent director has extensive relationships with the Advisers.  Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, our Manager furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, our Manager also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders. In addition, our Manager assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocable portion of our Manager’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and our allocable portion of the compensation of our chief financial officer and our allocable portion of the compensation of any administrative support staff. All such allocations will be approved by the Independent Directors.  Under the Administration Agreement, our Manager also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request such assistance.

Our Manager also provides administrative services to the Advisers.  As a result, the Advisers also reimburse our Manager for its allocable portion of our Manager’s overhead, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions for the Advisers, and its allocable portion of the compensation of any administrative support staff. To the extent the Advisers or any affiliates manage other investment vehicles in the future, no portion of any administrative services provided by our Manager to such other investment vehicles will be charged to us.
License Agreement

We have entered into the Administrative Agreement with our Manager under which it has granted to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “MacKenzie.” Under this agreement, we have a right to use the MacKenzie name for so long as we engage the Advisers to serve as our investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, we will have no legal right to the “MacKenzie” name.
Transactions with Related Persons

We may not purchase property or securities from the Manager, MCMA, a director, or any affiliate, except as permitted the Board and our Charter.  In no event will the cost of an asset exceed its current appraised value.  The Manager, MCMA, a director or any affiliate may not acquire assets from us, except as permitted by the Board and our Charter.  No loans may be made by us to the Manager, Advisers, a director or any affiliate, except as permitted by the Board and our Charter, or to a wholly owned subsidiary.  Similarly, we may not borrow money from the Manger, MCMA, a director, or any affiliate, except as permitted by the Board and our Charter.  Furthermore, we may not invest in joint ventures with the Manager, MCMA, a director, or any affiliate, except as permitted by the Board and our Charter.  There will be no other transactions between us and the Manager, MCMA, a director, or any affiliate, except as permitted by the Board and our Charter.  Further, affiliates meeting the definition of “Sponsor” under our Charter may only be reimbursed for expenses as provided in our Charter.
We have implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed investment, us, companies controlled by us and our executive officers and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that doing so will not violate our Charter or raise concerns about unresolved conflicts of interest, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval for such transaction. Our Board reviews these procedures on an annual basis.
We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics.



Information about the Audit Committee & the Principal Accountant

Report of the Audit Committee

The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the 1934 Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this report by reference therein.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the selection and engagement of the Company’s independent auditors, the review and pre-approval of both the audit and non-audit work of the Company’s independent public accountants, the review of the Company’s compliance with regulations of the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service and other related matters. The Company adopted an amended Audit Committee Charter on January 8, 2021, which was approved by the whole Board as well. The full text of the Audit Committee’s current charter is available on the Company’s website (www.mackenzierealty.com). Information contained on or connected to the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and should not be considered a part of this proxy statement or any other filing that the Company files with the SEC.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing.  Members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.  Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.  Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee schedules its meetings with a view to ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its duties.  The Audit Committee’s meetings include, whenever appropriate, executive sessions with our independent auditor without the presence of management.

As part of its oversight of our financial statements, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with both management and the Company’s independent auditor all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance. During Fiscal 2023, management advised the Audit Committee that each set of financial statements reviewed had been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting and disclosure issues with the Audit Committee.  These reviews included discussions with Moss Adams LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2023, of matters required to be disclosed pursuant to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s AU Section 380 (Communication with Audit Committees), including the quality of our accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.  The Audit Committee also discussed with Moss Adams LLP matters relating to its independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and reviewed the written disclosure and the letter from Moss Adams LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.  The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s management and Moss Adams LLP such other matters and received such assurance from them, as the Audit Committee deemed appropriate.

Based on the review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements for Fiscal 2023, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023, which was filed with the SEC on September 28, 2023.

Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board,


Tim Dozois, Chairman
Tom Frame



Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On August 10, 2023, the Audit Committee engaged Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, as of and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The Audit Committee (composed entirely of Independent Directors) elected to retain Moss Adams LLP as our auditor given Moss Adams LLP’s experience and presence in the accounting profession and in our industry.

Audit Fees were for professional services rendered for the audit of our financial statements and review of the interim financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by Moss Adams LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and include quarterly reviews and security counts.
 
Audit-Related Fees were for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include accounting consultations in connection with acquisitions, consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Fees were for professional services for federal, state and international tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning and include preparation of federal and state income tax returns, and other tax research, consultation, correspondence and advice.
 
All Other Fees are for services other than the services reported above. During Fiscal 2023, we paid Moss Adams LLP $8,000 for their review of our registration statements.
 
The Audit Committee has concluded the provision of the non-audit services listed above is compatible with maintaining the independence of Moss Adams LLP.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.



PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF THE INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Moss Adams LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, and our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, and the Audit Committee is submitting the selection of Moss Adams LLP to the stockholders for ratification. Moss Adams LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2012 and also has provided certain tax and other audit-related services during that time.

Representatives of Moss Adams LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In the proposal for the ratification of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the proposal, or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the proposal.

If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Moss Adams LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, based on the approval and the recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends that each stockholder vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Moss Adams LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
