| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
On February 6, 2026, the Reporting Person spoke with David H. Lesser, the Issuer's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Issuer's Board regarding the Issuer's governance and its plans with respect to its wholly owned subsidiary, Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railroad. The Reporting Person may continue such discussions with Mr. Lesser, as well as other members of the Issuer's Board. The Reporting Person may engage with the Issuer with respect to joining the Board and/or identifying other strategic individuals to join the Board, and to the extent he is unable to reach an agreement with the Issuer regarding the foregoing, the Reporting Person may seek to nominate such individuals to the Board.
The Reporting Person may consider, explore and/or develop plans and/or make proposals (whether preliminary or firm) with respect to, among other things, the matters set forth above, potential improvements in the Issuer's governance, including a governance and compliance audit, and the strategy and plans of the Issuer, including transactions in which the Reporting Person may seek to participate and potentially engage. In addition to the matters set forth above, the Reporting Person may engage with the Issuer's management and Board with respect to a broad range of governance, compliance, operational and strategic matters and to communicate with other shareholders or other third parties, including advisers and service providers regarding any of the foregoing. The Reporting Person may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements which may include customary standstill provisions. The Reporting Person may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions.
The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending on various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer's governance, compliance with its responsibilities to its shareholders, its financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other available investment opportunities, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer on terms and at such times as he deems appropriate. These actions may include, without limitation, acquiring additional shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Issuer ("Common Stock"), or Series A Preferred Stock or disposing of some or all of his holdings of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable. In addition, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider his position and/or change his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) propose or consider one or more the actions described in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 34,000 shares of the Issuer's Series A Preferred Stock, representing 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, which is calculated based on 336,944 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on October 24, 2025.
The Series A Preferred stock may be convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer only upon the occurrence of certain material events outside the control of the Reporting Person, including a "Change of Control" and a "Delisting Event" (each as defined in the Series A Preferred Stock Articles Supplementary), provided that the Issuer has not earlier delivered notice of the Issuer's election to redeem such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of the date hereof, the Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into Common Stock, and the Reporting disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Stock as a result of the Reporting Person's ownership of Series A Preferred Stock. |
| (b) | The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power of 34,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Reporting Person does not share any voting or dispositive power with respect to his ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock. |
| (c) | The transactions in the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Reporting Person during the past 60 days are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
