The Charles Schwab Conundrum
Silver Star Properties REIT, Inc., also known as Silver Star, has found itself in the eye of a financial storm. Charles Schwab, the custodian, is severing ties with shareholders owning Silver Star shares in 401k and IRA accounts, effective December 2, 2024. The reason behind this abrupt split appears to stem from a maelstrom of missteps, including erroneous legal actions taken against the Company, leading to bankruptcy proceedings and an SEC investigation. In the wake of these challenges, the Company is scrambling to meet reporting obligations, a prerequisite for Charles Schwab to reconsider share values.
The Company’s financial landscape has been turbulent. Recent estimates pegged the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per common share at $2.70 as of December 31, 2023. However, a twist in the tale occurred with a “Flip In” event in early 2024, prompting the Board to issue additional shares, impacting the proforma NAV to $3.36 per share. As the Company charts a course forward, a real estate valuation expert has been enlisted to ascertain asset values as of June 30, 2024, with hopes of stabilizing the NAV amidst choppy waters.
