On May 6, 2024, Erez Asset Management, LLC reiterated the need for change at Whitestone REIT that trades at the biggest discount to NAV of its cited peers and responded to the Company?s press release falsely accusing Erez of pursuing an offer to acquire the Company. Erez Asset noted the irony of a Board filled with undisclosed former service providers to Mastrandrea claiming that one call with Mastrandrea constitutes ?collusion?. Additionally, Erez Asset encouraged the Company shareholders to vote for Catherine Clark and Bruce Schanzer and to withhold from David Taylor and Nandita Berry using its proxy card.
