MDVA Modiv Inc

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Modiv Inc., a Maryland corporation, for use at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held at the Company’s offices at 200 S. Virginia Street, Suite 800, Reno, Nevada 89501 on Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (the “Annual Meeting”). On or about May 1, 2023, proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), are being made available to stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

When used in this Proxy Statement, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Modiv,” “Modiv Inc.,” or the “Company” refer to Modiv Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. In this Proxy Statement, we refer to our Class C common stock, $0.001 par value per share, as our “common stock.”

We operate under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors oversees our operations. We currently have seven directors, one of whom is our Chief Executive Officer, Aaron S. Halfacre, and six of whom are independent. All seven of our directors have been nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting. For biographical information regarding our directors, see “—Executive Officers and Directors” below.

During 2022, the Board of Directors held eight meetings and acted by unanimous consent on 10 occasions. There are three committees of the Board of Directors, each of which is composed entirely of independent directors: the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee. Information regarding each of these committees is set forth below. During 2022, each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which he or she served. Generally, our directors are also encouraged to attend our annual meeting of stockholders each year. All of our directors attended our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders held on August 23, 2022.

The composition of the Board of Directors ensures strong oversight by independent directors. Adam S. Markman is our Chairman of the Board and, as noted above, our audit committee, compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee are composed entirely of independent directors. Our Company’s management has been led by Mr. Halfacre, our Chief Executive Officer, since January 1, 2019. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company that the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board be separated in order for the individuals to focus on their primary roles. As Chairman of the Board, Mr. Markman is responsible for leading Board meetings and generally setting the agendas for Board meetings in consultation with Mr. Halfacre and subject to the requests of other directors. Mr. Halfacre is responsible for the strategic direction of the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company. He is also responsible for providing information to the other directors in advance of meetings and between meetings. The direct involvement of Mr. Halfacre in the Company’s operations makes him best positioned to lead strategic planning sessions and determine the time allocated to each agenda item in discussions of our short- and long-term objectives.

Our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of risks faced by the Company, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management.

The audit committee oversees risk management in the areas of financial reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The compensation committee discharges the Board of Directors’ responsibilities relating to the compensation of the executive officers. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing the organization, function and composition of our Board of Directors and its committees, the self-evaluation of the Board as a whole and of the individual directors and the Board’s evaluation of management. The nominating and corporate governance committee periodically reviews the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures and, if appropriate, recommends changes to the Board of Directors.

Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks as well as through regular reports directly from the executive officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within our Company.

The NYSE listing standards set forth objective requirements for a director to satisfy, at a minimum, in order to be determined to be independent by our Board of Directors. In addition, in order to conclude a director is independent in accordance with the NYSE listing standards, our Board of Directors must also consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing

standards, which require that a majority of our directors be independent within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards, our Board of Directors undertook a review of the independence of all non-management directors. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the following six of our seven directors are independent under the NYSE listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines and do not have a relationship with us that would interfere with such person’s ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of the Board: Asma Ishaq, Adam Markman, Curtis McWilliams, Thomas Nolan, Jr., Kimberly Smith and Connie Tirondola.

Our audit committee’s function is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities by overseeing (i) our accounting and financial reporting processes, (ii) the integrity of our financial statements, (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iv) the selection, appointment and compensation of our independent registered public accounting firm and (v) our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. The audit committee fulfills these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities enumerated in the audit committee charter. The audit committee charter is available in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. The information contained on this website is not part of, or incorporated by reference in, this Proxy Statement.

The members of the audit committee are Mr. Markman (Chairman), Mr. McWilliams and Ms. Tirondola. All of the members of the audit committee are “independent” as defined by the NYSE and applicable rules of the SEC. All members of the audit committee are financially literate, and the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Markman satisfies the SEC’s requirements for an “audit committee financial expert.”

During 2022, the audit committee held five meetings.

The Company recently conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The audit committee considered several public accounting firms in connection with this process and, as a result of this process, on March 30, 2023, the audit committee approved the engagement of Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, replacing Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”), the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm.

In deciding to engage Grant Thornton, the audit committee reviewed auditor independence and any existing commercial relationships with Grant Thornton and concluded that Grant Thornton has no commercial relationships with the Company that would impair its independence. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and during the interim period from January 1, 2023 through March 30, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Grant Thornton regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by Grant Thornton on the Company’s financial statements, and Grant Thornton did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The report of Baker Tilly regarding the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 contained in the 2022 Annual Report did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Grant Thornton has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since March 30, 2023. The audit committee may, however, select new auditors at any time in the future in its discretion if it deems such decision to be in our best interests. Any such decision would be disclosed to our stockholders in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In order to ensure that the provision of services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm does not impair the auditors’ independence, the audit committee pre-approves all auditing services performed for us by our independent auditors, as well as all permitted non-audit services. In determining whether

or not to pre-approve services, the audit committee considers whether the service is a permissible service under the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. The audit committee may, in its discretion, delegate to one or more of its members the authority to pre-approve any audit or non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors, provided any such approval is presented to and approved by the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, all services rendered by Baker Tilly, our prior independent registered public accounting firm, were pre-approved in accordance with the policies and procedures described above.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the 2022 audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

The foregoing Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under the Exchange Act.

As noted above, the compensation committee discharges the Board of Directors’ responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers. The members of the compensation committee are Mr. McWilliams, Mr. Nolan and Ms. Ishaq, with Mr. Nolan serving as chair of the compensation committee. All of the members of the compensation committee are “Independent Directors” as defined by the NYSE and applicable rules of the SEC. The compensation committee is responsible for recommending, establishing, overseeing and directing the Company’s executive officer and director compensation philosophy, policies and programs, approving the compensation to be paid by the Company to the Company’s executive officers and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The compensation committee fulfills these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities enumerated in the compensation committee charter. The compensation committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees as appropriate, and the compensation committee reviews the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with regard to the compensation of the executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The compensation committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain the advice of a compensation consultant as necessary to assist with the execution of its duties and responsibilities set forth in the compensation committee charter. The compensation committee charter is available in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement.

During 2022, the compensation committee held two meetings.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things, (i) providing counsel to our Board of Directors with respect to the organization, function and composition of our Board of Directors and its committees, (ii) overseeing the self-evaluation of our Board of Directors and the Board’s evaluation of management, (iii) periodically reviewing and, if appropriate, recommending to our Board of Directors changes to the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures, and (iv) identifying and recommending to our Board of Directors potential director candidates for nomination. The nominating and corporate governance committee fulfills these responsibilities primarily by carrying out the activities enumerated in the nominating and corporate governance committee charter. The nominating and corporate governance committee charter is available in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement.

The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are Mr. McWilliams, Mr. Nolan and Ms. Smith, with Mr. McWilliams serving as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

During 2022, the nominating and corporate governance committee held one meeting.

With respect to filling vacancies for independent director positions, the independent directors review the appropriate experience, skills and characteristics required of directors in the context of the then-current membership of the Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors annually conducts a similar review with respect to all director nominations. This assessment includes, in the context of the perceived needs of the Board of Directors at that time, issues of knowledge, experience, judgment and skills, such as an understanding of the real estate and real estate finance industries or accounting or financial management expertise. The Board of Directors seeks to nominate directors with diverse backgrounds, experiences and skill sets that complement each other so as to maximize the collective knowledge, experience, judgment and skills of the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors assesses its effectiveness in achieving this goal annually, in part, by reviewing the diversity of the skill sets of the directors and determining whether there are any deficiencies in the Board of Directors’ collective skill set that should be addressed in the nominating process.

Other considerations in director nominations include the candidate’s independence from conflict with us and the ability of the candidate to attend Board meetings regularly and to devote an appropriate amount of time in preparation for those meetings. It also is expected that independent directors will be individuals who possess a reputation and hold positions or affiliations befitting a director of a large publicly held company and who are actively engaged in their occupations or professions or are otherwise regularly involved in the business, professional or academic community.

Selection of Directors. Unless otherwise provided by Maryland law and our bylaws, our nominating and corporate governance committee and Board of Directors are responsible for nominating their own nominees and recommending them for election by our stockholders, provided that any vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. All director nominees stand for election by our stockholders annually.

In nominating candidates for the Board of Directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee solicits candidate recommendations from its own members and management. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also engage the services of a search firm to assist in identifying potential director nominees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider recommendations made by stockholders for director nominees who meet the established director criteria set forth above. In order to be considered for nomination, recommendations made by stockholders must be submitted within the timeframe required to request a proposal to be included in the proxy materials. In evaluating the persons recommended as potential directors, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider each candidate without regard to the source of the recommendation and take into account those factors that it determines are relevant. Stockholders may directly nominate potential directors (without the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee or the Board of Directors) by satisfying the procedural requirements for such nomination as provided in Article II, Section 11(a) of our bylaws. Any stockholder may request a copy of our bylaws free of charge by calling (888) 686-6348 or may view the bylaws in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. The information contained on this website is not part of, or incorporated by reference in, this Proxy Statement.

We have established a procedure for stockholders and other interested parties to communicate comments and concerns to the Board of Directors. Stockholders and other interested parties may contact the Board of Directors at the following address:

The communication should indicate to whom the communication is intended and whether you are a stockholder or other interested party.

Stockholders and other interested parties should report any complaints or concerns regarding (1) suspected violations or concerns as to compliance with laws, regulations or our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or other suspected wrongdoings affecting us or our properties or assets, or (2) any complaints or concerns regarding our accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or any concerns regarding any questionable accounting or auditing matters affecting us.

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines establishing a common set of expectations to assist the Board of Directors in performing its responsibilities. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of topics, including, among other things, director qualification standards, director responsibilities, the responsibilities and composition of committees of the Board of Directors, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, management succession and evaluations of the performance of the Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines comply with the requirements of the NYSE listing standards and are available in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. Our Board of Directors also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors and executive officers. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website at www.modiv.com. To the extent required by SEC rules, we intend to promptly disclose future amendments to certain provisions of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or waivers of such provisions granted to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, in the Investor Relations – Governance – Governance Documents section of our website. The information contained on our website is not part of, or incorporated by reference in, this Proxy Statement.

In order to ameliorate the risks created by conflicts of interest, our Board of Directors has delegated certain responsibilities to our independent directors acting by majority vote. In general, an independent director is a person who is not one of our officers or employees or an officer or employee of one of our affiliates.

Acquisition parameters are established by our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors, and potential acquisitions outside of these parameters require approval by our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors.

On January 31, 2022, we acquired an industrial property and related equipment in Saint Paul, Minnesota that is planned to be used in indoor vertical farming for $8,079,000. The purchase price represents a 7.00% cap rate and the property has a 20-year lease with annual rent escalations of 2.5%. We funded this acquisition with a portion of the proceeds from our September 2021 offering of 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. The tenant is Kalera, Inc., which was introduced to us by Curtis B. McWilliams, one of our independent directors. Since Mr. McWilliams was serving as an executive of Kalera AS at the time of the acquisition, all of the disinterested members of our Board of Directors approved this transaction. In April 2023, Kalera, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and Mr. McWilliams was appointed as Kalera Inc.’s independent director as the company continues to operate its business while in bankruptcy. Mr. McWilliams will recuse himself from any matters that relate to our industrial property in Saint Paul, Minnesota that is leased to Kalera, Inc.
