Presidio Property Trust announces director resignation

Presidio Property Trust , Inc., a real estate investment trust based in San Diego, California, disclosed the immediate resignation of board member David Bruen on April 10, 2025. According to the company’s recent SEC filing, Bruen’s departure from the board is not due to any disagreement with the company’s operations, policies, or practices. The announcement was made through a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2025. The company, currently valued at $8.3 million in market capitalization, has shown mixed performance with a notable 10.5% gain in the past week despite a challenging year-to-date decline of 21%.

Bruen’s resignation comes unexpectedly as no further details were provided regarding the reasons behind his decision to step down. Presidio Property Trust, which operates under the ticker (NASDAQ:SQFT) for its Series A Common Stock, (NASDAQ:SQFTP) for its 9.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, and NASDAQ:SQFTW for its Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrants, has not yet named a successor or provided information on how Bruen’s departure will affect the company’s governance or strategic direction. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s shares are currently trading at a significant discount to book value, with a Price/Book ratio of 0.31, though investors should note the company’s weak financial health score.

The company’s brief statement in the filing ensures transparency with its investors and the public, reaffirming that Bruen’s resignation was not due to internal conflict. This information is based on the press release statement filed with the SEC and does not include any additional commentary or speculation on the matter.

Presidio Property Trust, formerly known as NetREIT, Inc., specializes in acquiring and managing a diverse portfolio of real estate properties. The company’s focus on commercial real estate spans various sectors, including office, industrial, retail, and residential assets.

Investors and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how the company moves forward after this change in its board of directors. The next steps for Presidio Property Trust in terms of filling the now-vacant board seat will be crucial in maintaining leadership stability and investor confidence, particularly given the company’s current financial position and market performance.

In other recent news, Presidio Property Trust has announced a self-tender offer to repurchase up to 2 million shares of its Series A Common Stock at $0.68 per share. This offer, which includes Odd Lot Holders, will expire on May 5, 2025, unless extended or withdrawn. Additionally, the company is considering a reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, with a potential implementation between five-to-one and six-to-one by May 15, 2025. In a separate development, Presidio Property Trust is dealing with a loan default on the Dakota Center in Fargo, North Dakota. The loan, originally amounting to $11.1 million, has reached a maturity date default, prompting Presidio to work with the lender and a special servicer to sell the property and settle the non-recourse debt. The company now faces an increased default interest rate, 5% higher than the original, and additional expenses related to the lender’s fees. These recent developments have been disclosed through an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and investors are closely monitoring the situation.
