Item 6. Changes in Control of Issuer

 

On May 31, 2022, SW Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as the manager (the “Manager”) of 1st stREIT Office Inc. (the “Issuer”), underwent a change of control whereby 100% of the Manager’s interests previously held by Tryperion Partners, LLC (“Partners”) were assigned to Typerion Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) (such assignment, the “Reorganization”). Holdings is wholly-owned by Jeffrey Karsh, one of the three principals of Partners. The remaining two principals of Partners, Joseph Kessel and Eliot Bencuya, will cease to have control of the Manager. See Item 7 below for changes in the officers and directors of the Issuer following the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, Holdings replaced Partners as the “sponsor” of the Issuer’s offering of its common stock pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See Exhibit 99.1 attached to this Form 1-U for a copy of the Shareholder Letter sent by Holdings to the Issuer’s shareholders that more fully describes the Reorganization.

 

In connection with the Reorganization, the original Support Agreement between Partners and the Manager was terminated and the Manager entered into a new Support Agreement dated May 31, 2022 with Interamar Manager LLC (“Interamar”). Interamar is wholly-owned by Mr. Kessel and will provide the Manager with services that are similar to those previously provided by Partners, with the cost of those services being paid for by Holdings and not the Issuer. This description of the new Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the new Support Agreement set forth in Exhibit 6.1 to this Form 1-U.

 

Item 7. Departure of Certain Directors and Officers

 

In connection with the Reorganization described in Item 6, Joseph Kessel resigned as a director and Chief Operating Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Issuer.

 

Following the Reorganization, Janet Pudelko will serve as Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Issuer. Andrew Kowell will serve as the Chief Operating Officer of the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer’s remaining board of directors appointed Justin Fromm to fill Mr. Kessel’s remaining term. The chart below shows all of the board and senior management changes at the Issuer and the Manager:
