Appointment of Director
On November 3, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Perry Weitz as an independent Class III director to the Board effective as of the same date. Mr. Weitz was appointed to the Board following the recommendation of its Corporate Responsibility and Nominating Committee. The Board has appointed Mr. Weitz to serve as a member of its Audit Committee.
Mr. Weitz is a co-founding member of Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. and a seasoned real estate investor. Mr. Weitz has developed and managed a diverse portfolio of hospitality, residential, and commercial real estate properties. He is also involved in real estate ventures through Oak Row Equities, a real estate private equity and development company . Mr. Weitz currently serves on the boards of several organizations, including the American Association for Justice, New York State Trial Lawyers Association, Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, Legal Aid Society, Jewish Lawyer Guild, and North Shore University Hospital. Mr. Weitz also serves on the executive committees of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and the Children’s Medical Fund. Mr. Weitz received a B.A. from George Washington University and a J.D. from Hofstra University School of Law.
The Board determined that Mr. Weitz meets the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for service on the Board and the Audit Committee. The Board concluded Mr. Weitz should serve as a member of the Board due to, among other things, his legal expertise and extensive real-estate investment, operational, and managerial experience.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Weitz and any person pursuant to which Mr. Weitz was appointed as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Weitz and any other director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
