01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure Share and Unit Price Increase The Board of Trustees approved an increase in the common share price from $24.00 per share to $25.50 per share effective January 1, 2026. The Board of Trustees approved an annual dividend yield of 5.00% per share, effective January 1, 2026. The Board of Trustees, acting as general partner of Sterling Properties, LLLP, also approved an increase in the limited liability limited partnership unit price from $24.00 per unit to $25.50 per unit effective January 1, 2026. In connection with the above changes, the Board of Trustees also approved an increase in the share and unit redemption price effective January 1, 2026, to $24.22 per share or unit, respectively.

At this time, no shares are held in street name accounts and the Trust is not subject to FINRA's specific pricing requirements set out in Rule 2340 or otherwise. Thus, the Trust does not employ any specific valuation methodology or formula. Rather, the Board looks to available data and information, which is often adjusted and weighted to comport more closely with the assets held by the Trust at the time of valuati
