Completed $9,930,000 asset sale; proceeds aimed at debt repayment.

Medalist Diversified REIT closed the sale of the Salisbury Marketplace Shopping Center for $9,930,000 on October 23, 2025. The sale followed arm’s length negotiations with an unaffiliated buyer, indicating a market-based price. As a completed cash transaction, it immediately converts a real estate asset into liquidity.
