FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND PRELIMINARY AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Allen R. Hartman and Hartman vREIT XXI, Inc., stockholders of more than 5% of the common stock of Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc. (“Silver Star”), a Maryland corporation, file this Amended Complaint to compel Silver Star and its board of directors to hold an annual meeting of stockholders as required by Md. Corp. and Assn. art. § 2-501, to compel Silver Star to provide a stockholder list to plaintiffs as required by Md. Corp. and Assn. art. § 2-513, to declare a purported amended bylaw passed in response to this suit in an attempt to avoid an annual stockholder meeting void and unenforceable, and for preliminarily and permanent injunctive relief requiring Silver Star to provide a stockholder list to plaintiffs and to enjoin Silver Star from proceeding under the amended bylaw, and allege as follows:

- 2 -

INTRODUCTION

1.            As more fully set forth below, the current directors (other than Allen Hartman) of Silver Star (the “Directors”) are seeking to entrench themselves by doing everything possible to avoid an annual meeting at which new directors can be elected. The Directors have: (1) refused to call an annual meeting of stockholders as required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, Md. Corps. & Assn’s §§ 1-101 through 3-907 (the “MGCL”); (2) refused to provide plaintiffs with access to a stockholder list as required by the MGCL; and (3) in response to the original complaint in this action seeking an order compelling an annual meeting, have purported to amend the bylaws of Silver Star (the “Bylaws”) to allow Silver Star to avoid holding an annual meeting. The amendment to the Bylaws violates the MGCL and the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Silver Star, as corrected and amended to date (the “Charter”) and/or was passed in bad faith.

The entrenched directors are proceeding to solicit stockholders of Silver Star pursuant to the purportedly amended Bylaws. Plaintiffs seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any solicitation pursuant to the amended Bylaws, a declaration that the amended Bylaws is void and unenforceable, an order compelling Silver Star to provide plaintiffs with its stockholder list and an order compelling the holding of an annual meeting.

The Parties

2.            Plaintiff Allen R. Hartman (“Hartman”) owns shares of Silver Star’s common stock.

3.            Plaintiff Hartman vREIT XXI, Inc. (“Hartman vREIT”) owns shares of Silver Star’s common stock.

- 3 -

4.            Hartman and Hartman vREIT together are the record owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Silver Star and have been such record owners for at least six months.

5.            Defendant Silver Star is a Maryland corporation taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). While Silver Star is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its stock is not publicly traded.

6.            Defendants Gerald W. Haddock, Jack I. Thompkins, and James S. Still are Directors of Silver Star and comprise its Executive Committee through which Silver Star purports to operate.

7.            The Directors are subject to personal jurisdiction in Maryland by virtue of being directors of a Maryland corporation. Under Maryland law, service on directors of a Maryland corporation is effective by serving the Resident Agent of the corporation for which they are directors. Md. Code Ann., Cts. and Jud. Proc. § 6-102.1.

The Underlying Dispute

8.            Hartman and the Directors who serve on the Executive Committee have been involved in disputes. Hartman, while still a director of Silver Star, was removed from its Executive Committee.

9.            As relevant here, Hartman believes that the Executive Committee has embarked on a plan of action for Silver Star to sell its current assets comprised of commercial real estate in Texas at too low a value and to embark on an unwise strategy of investing in self-storage facilities.

10.          The entrenched Executive Committee disagrees with Hartman.

11.          Plaintiffs seek the ability afforded to them under the MGCL and the Charter and Bylaws to vote for directors at a duly called annual meeting of stockholders and/or to communicate with Silver Star’s stockholders who can decide to vote for directors who express their view of the direction Silver Star should take by voting for directors in a usual stockholder election.

COUNT I

(FAILURE TO HOLD A STOCKHOLDER MEETING)

12.          The allegations in paragraphs 1 – 11 are incorporated herein by reference.

13.          Section 2-501 of the MGCL (“Section 2-501”) provides that a “corporation shall hold an annual meeting of its stockholders to elect directors and transact any other business within its powers[,]”

14.          The annual meeting of stockholders of a corporation provides an opportunity for stockholders to elect members of the Board of Directors.

15.          Section 8.1 of the Charter provides as follows:

There shall be an annual meeting of the Stockholders, to be held upon written notice at such time (at least 30 days after the delivery of the annual report) and convenient location, within or outside of the State of Maryland, as shall be determined by or in the manner prescribed by the Bylaws, for the election of the Directors . . . The Directors shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the annual meeting is held.

(Emphasis added).

16.          Prior to August 25, 2023, when this suit was filed, Section 2 of Article II of the Silver Star’s Bylaws provided that “[a]n annual meeting for the election of directors . . . shall be held on a date and time set by the Board of Directors in each year commencing with calendar year 2010.”

17.          Silver Star failed to hold an annual meeting in 2022 and has not held, or indicated that it intends to hold, an annual meeting thus far in 2023.

18.          To assure that Silver Star would hold an annual meeting in 2023, counsel for Hartman wrote to the Senior Vice-President and General Counsel of the Company (“Silver Star’s Counsel”) in a letter dated July 19, 2023 transmitted by e-mail seeking confirmation that Silver Star would hold an annual meeting on or before December 31, 2023 as required by Section 2-501, the Charter and the Legal Bylaws. A copy of the letter is appended as Exhibit 1.

- 5 -

19.          A simple confirmation that such a meeting would be scheduled and held would have obviated the need for this lawsuit.

20.          Instead, Silver Star’s Counsel ambiguously responded to multiple requests for confirmation that an annual meeting would be scheduled and held on or before December 31, 2023. In the final request, Mr. Hartman’s counsel again asked for confirmation that the prior response meant that such a meeting would be held on or before December 31, 2023 and “[i]f I do not hear from you by August 10th, then I will assume that you are unwilling to confirm that a meeting will be called in 2023. . .” Silver Star’s Counsel again responded ambiguously that “The timing of a meeting is up to the Executive Committee . . . I have made all of the representations that I can give you at the present time.” A copy of the chain of e-mails is attached as Exhibit 2.

21.          The failure to simply confirm that an annual meeting of stockholders will be scheduled and held on or before December 31, 2023 was all the more troubling given ongoing disputes between Mr. Hartman and the other members of Silver Star’s Directors.

22.          On August 25, 2023, counsel for plaintiffs provided a copy of the original complaint in this matter to Silver Star’s Counsel by e-mail.

23.          On August 30, 2023, Silver Star filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose that, effective August 28, 2023 – just three days after receiving a copy of the original complaint – the Executive Committee had amended Section 2 of Article II of the Legal Bylaws, pursuant to a First Amendment to the Bylaws of Silver Star (the “Amended Bylaw”), to purportedly permit stockholders to elect directors “without a meeting, if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission to such action is given by a quorum of the stockholders[.]” A copy of the Amended Bylaw is attached as Exhibit 3.

- 6 -

24.          The Executive Committee’s action in approving the Amended Bylaw was, in addition to being unlawful as discussed in Count III below, clearly taken in an attempt to accomplish an end run around having an annual meeting, entrenching the Executive Committee, and disenfranchising stockholders, including plaintiffs, of their important right to vote for directors of their choice at a duly called and held annual meeting.

25.          Given the timetable that must be followed in scheduling an annual meeting, plaintiffs are filing herewith a motion to expedite consideration of this matter.

COUNT II

(Failure to Comply With Stockholder Demand To Inspect Stock Ledger and
Injunctive Relief)

26.          The allegations in paragraphs 1 – 11 are incorporated herein by reference.

27.          Section 2-513 of the MGCL (“Section 2-513”) provides that stockholders who “together are and for at least six months have been stockholders of record . . . of at least 5 percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation” have the right “on request or in writing or by electronic transmission, inspect and copy during usual business hours the corporation’s books of account and its stock ledger. . ..”

28.          In addition to the unqualified right afforded by Section 2-513, Section 8.7 and Section 8.8 of the Charter guarantees to “any Stockholder” the right to inspect and copy Silver Star’s stockholder list “in connection with matters relating to Stockholder’s voting rights, and the exercise of Stockholder rights under federal proxy laws.”

29.          On August 25, 2023, pursuant to Section 2-513(b) and the Charter, plaintiffs demanded that Silver Star permit them to inspect and copy Silver Star’s stock ledger within 20 days of the request and requested that such list be provided electronically. A copy of the demand is appended as Exhibit 4.

- 7 -

30.          As with the demand for an annual meeting of stockholders, Silver Star did not respond.

31.          By e-mail dated September 19, 2023, counsel for plaintiffs asked in-house counsel for Silver Star to confirm that Silver Star’s stock ledger was available.

32.          Silver Star again did not respond.

33.          By e-mail dated September 25, 2023, counsel for plaintiffs advised counsel for Silver Star that Tom Lightsey of Holman Fenwick Willan LLP in Houston, Texas, as the plaintiffs’ agent, would be at Silver Star’s principal office on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. for the purpose of inspecting and copying Silver Star’s stock ledger.

34.          Silver Star’s Counsel responded that Silver Star would not permit inspection and, as a basis therefor, incorrectly asserted (citing to case law from outside Maryland that addressed the law of the District of Columbia) that plaintiffs did not articulate a legitimate purpose for the requested inspection.

35.          Plaintiffs seek to inspect the stock ledger so that they have the ability to communicate with stockholders. Neither the MGCL nor the Charter requires plaintiffs to articulate any basis for demanding such inspection.

36.          Silver Star’s rejection of the demand for inspection was improper.

37.          Silver Star is contacting stockholders pursuant to the Amended Bylaw challenged herein.

- 8 -

38.          By refusing to provide Plaintiffs with a stockholder list, Silver Star and the Executive Committee are improperly attempting to preclude Plaintiffs from communicating with Silver Star’s stockholders regarding the election of directors.

39.          The request for inspection of the stockholder list is urgent and requires preliminary injunctive relief.

40.          Plaintiffs will be irreparably injured if Silver Star and the Executive Committee can contact stockholders but they cannot.

COUNT III

(Declaration that Purported Bylaw Amendment Is Void and Unenforceable and Preliminary and Permanent Injunctive Relief)

41.          The allegations in paragraphs 1-11 are incorporated herein by reference.

42.          Plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment pursuant to Md. Code. Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. Art. Section 3-406 to determine a question of actual controversy between the parties. Plaintiffs’ status as stockholders are being affected by the Amended Bylaw which violates Maryland law.

43.          The Amended Bylaw purports to allow the election of directors and transaction of business without an annual meeting of the stockholders of Silver Star “if a consent in writing or by electronic submission to such action is given by a quorum of the stockholders[.]”

44.          The Amended Bylaw is void and unenforceable for any of three reasons: (1) the right to amend the bylaws cannot be delegated to an Executive Committee; (2) the Amended Bylaw violates MGCL 2-505(b)(2) because the Charter does not permit the purported change; and/or (3) the Amended Bylaw was enacted in bad faith in response to this lawsuit in an attempt to avoid holding an annual meeting.

- 9 -

45.          The Amended Bylaw states that it was passed “by the Executive Committee (the ‘Committee’) of the Board of Directors (the ‘Board’) of the Company exercising its decision-making power of the Board[.]”

46.          The Amended Bylaw is void and unenforceable because MGCL Section 2-411(a)(2)(iii) expressly prohibits the Board from delegating to the Executive Committee the power to amend the Bylaws.

47.          Alternatively, the Amended Bylaw is void and unenforceable because Silver Star’s Charter does not permit a consent to the election of directors by less than unanimous consent of the stockholders. MGCL Section 2-505(b)(2) provides that the right of common stockholders entitled to elect directors cannot be amended without unanimous stockholder consent unless the charter of the corporation so provides:

If authorized by the charter of a corporation, the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may take action or consent to any action by providing a consent in writing or by electronic transmission of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a stockholders meeting at which all stockholders entitled to vote on the action were present and voted if the corporation gives notice of the action not later than 10 days after the effective date of the action to each holder of shares of the class or series of common stock and to each stockholder who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting.

(Emphasis added).

48.          The Charter does not authorize the holders of Silver Star’s common stock to take action (including consenting to the election of directors without an annual meeting) other than with the unanimous consent thereof.

49.          Section 2-210(a) of the MGCL prohibits the bylaws of a Maryland corporation from containing any provision that is “inconsistent with law[.]” The Amended Bylaw is “inconsistent with law” because it provides that directors can be elected without unanimous consent which is not authorized by the Charter.

- 10 -

50.          Even if the Charter authorized stockholders to take action without unanimous consent, it is improper for the Directors to avoid an annual meeting by amending the Bylaws to write out the provisions requiring an annual meeting.

51.          Alternatively, even if the Amended Bylaw was duly adopted, a bylaw will not be enforced “if it was adopted in bad faith, for the purpose of entrenching the corporation’s board of directors and not for the benefit of stockholders.” Hanks, James J, Jr., Maryland Corporation Law, § 3.12.

52.          The Amended Bylaw was adopted in bad faith in response to this lawsuit seeking an annual meeting of the stockholders at which directors could be elected to determine the direction the corporation should take.

53.          Silver Star is contacting stockholders pursuant to the Amended Bylaw.

54.          Plaintiffs’ rights as stockholders of Silver Star will be irreparably harmed in the absence of injunctive relief prohibiting Silver Star from soliciting stockholder consent to dispense with an annual meeting pursuant to the Amended Bylaw.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff requests the Court to:

1. Order the Executive Committee and the Board of Silver Star to schedule and hold an annual meeting of its stockholders on or before a date certain in accordance with the requirements of the Maryland Code and the Charter and legal Bylaws;

2. Order Silver Star to provide the stock ledger to plaintiffs for inspection and copying (or by electronic transmission) within five (5) days;

3. Declare the Amended Bylaw void and unenforceable;

- 11 -

4. Preliminarily and permanently enjoin Silver Star from seeking consents for the election of directors without an annual meeting pursuant to the Amended Bylaw.

5. Enter a preliminary injunction compelling Silver Star to provide the stockholder list to plaintiffs; and

6. For such other and further relief as the nature of the cause may require.
