BLDG. 2

VALUE MAXIMIZATION PROPOSAL NOVEMBER 2025

Disclaimer

Pursuant to a request by GICC Building I LLC Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. or Jones Lang LaSalle Americas (Illinois), LP for property in Illinois (“JLL”) has prepared this Broker’s Opinion of Value (“BOV”) dated as of November 2025 for the estimated sale or transaction value for the fee simple, leasehold, partial interest, debt security or other interest addressed in this BOV for the property(ies) identified as Georgia International Commerce Center Building 2 in Savannah, Georgia (the “Property(ies)”).

This BOV was prepared pursuant to a potential engagement of JLL by Recipient to arrange a sale or capitalization of the interest in the Property identified in this BOV. This BOV was prepared under the direction of the following JLL capital markets advisors that are licensed in the state(s) where the Property(ies) is located – Britton Burdette, Jim Freeman, Dennis Mitchell, and Maggie Dominguez . The use of and reliance on this BOV is limited to the Recipient that requested this BOV.

This BOV is not a certified appraisal of the market value of the property, or an appraisal that conforms to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) which require valuers to act as unbiased, disinterested third parties with impartiality, objectivity and independence and without accommodation of personal interest, or any applicable appraisal regulations. This BOV may not be used in lieu of an appraisal. If an appraisal is desired, the services of a licensed appraiser must be obtained. This BOV was prepared by a licensed real estate broker. This BOV is not intended to be used for any legal purpose including approval of a mortgage loan, modification of a mortgage loan, ownership or partnership dispute resolution, divorce/property separation, estate settlement, bankruptcy proceedings or any other purpose where real estate value is needed. This BOV is to be used solely for purposes allowed by state and federal law. If the BOV is to be used for any purpose not specifically allowed by state and federal law, legal counsel should be consulted. This BOV was prepared pursuant to a potential engagement of JLL by Recipient to arrange a sale or capitalization of the interest in the Property identified in this BOV, and is not intended for subsequent use. The use of this BOV is limited to Recipient.

This BOV is based upon JLL’s preliminary review of the Property based on information provided by the Recipient that may have included the Property’s existing use, leases, current zoning and other restrictions in place, financing and ownership entity encumbrances and the structure of the interest in the Property that is the subject of this BOV. The data, documentation, and assumptions derived from information supplied by Recipient, published information, information prepared by JLL in the regular course of its business, and information from other industry sources will not be independently verified by JLL for purposes of this BOV. JLL will not be responsible for the accuracy of such data and information, and for any assumptions derived therefrom. JLL has incorporated in the preparation of the BOV, as applicable, the surrounding neighborhood of the Property, current economic and real estate market conditions, and sales of other comparable properties or interests in property.

This BOV is subject to change due to changes in the local and national real property markets, changes in the credit and money markets, changes in the laws and regulations impacting the property or interests in the Property and lawful uses

thereof, and changes in any other facts regarding the Property or interests in the Property. JLL has not made a survey or analysis of the property to determine whether it complies with any law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, Stark law or any anti-kickback laws, or evaluation of minerals or subsurface rights and accordingly this BOV renders no opinion regarding any such compliance or rights. Recipient shall not use this BOV or any information provided by JLL pursuant to this BOV in connection with any public documents. Further, JLL shall not be referred to in any public documents without JLL’s prior written consent, which may be given in its sole discretion.

It is further noted that the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (novel coronavirus) since the end of January 2020 has resulted in market uncertainty and volatility. While the economic impact of a contagion disease generally arises from the uncertainty and loss of consumer confidence, its impact on real estate values is unknown at this stage. Given the prevailing domestic and global uncertainty arising from the Coronavirus, we recommend that the intended users of this report regularly seek JLL’s guidance.

Any reference in the report to a specific marketing time period is for illustrative purposes only and does not obligate JLL to sell or capitalize the Property or within the stated timeframe or act as a representation or guarantee that the Property will be sold within such timeframe.

JLL expressly disclaims any liability to any party for any reliance on this BOV for any purpose unless otherwise provided in a separate written agreement between such party and JLL. Unless otherwise provided in a separate written agreement with Recipient regarding this BOV, JLL shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages in connection with this BOV, including, but not limited to, lost revenue or profits, even if a party has knowledge of the possibility of such damages. Recipient shall reimburse JLL for any legal fees or costs incurred by JLL as a result of any legal actions or subpoenas that result from this BOV and to which JLL is not a party. JLL certifies that it is covered by E&O insurance, to the extent required by state law. In no event shall JLL’s liability to Recipient hereunder exceed the fee paid, if any, to JLL pursuant to this BOV.

Investment Advisory Case Studies

Commentary

• Class A rear-load distribution facility 79% leased to GFA, Ecoplastic, & Veyer with 4.8 years WALT and 4% bumps (9% below mkt. rents).

• 36’ clear height, 185’ truck court, 92 dock-high doors, 2 drive-in doors, built 2023.

• The building’s partial vacancy and its distance to the Port of Savannah provided some pause among Investors. The JLL team overcame these hesitations by selling the location in relation to Hyundai’s metaplant and the building’s ability to service the plant with its ideal suite sizes, resulting in JLL successfully sourcing an international buyer.

Commentary

• Class A distribution center 100% leased to NFI with 7.4 years of term remaining, an in-place rent of $5.73 (6.8% below mkt), and 3.50% annual escalations.

• 40’ clear height, 190’ truck court, 50’ x 54’ column spacing, cross-dock configuration, 224 auto spaces and 270 trailer spaces, built 2022.

• The building’s distance to the Port of Savannah and its large size were two challenges presented while marketing this deal. To combat these challenges, the JLL team educated buyers on the limited competing supply within proximity to the Port of Savannah, highlighted the tenant’s long-term lease, and emphasized the building’s strategic location and superior access.

Commentary

• Class A cross-dock distribution center 100% leased to 3 Tier 1 Hyundai suppliers with 8.9 years WALT.

• The distance to the Port of Savannah, in combination interior layout, raised some concerns among potential investors. Anticipating these concerns, JLL formulated a strong narrative around the neighboring Hyundai plant, and its formidable place as a market driver within the Savannah MSA.

Commentary

• Class A cross-dock distribution center fully leased with a 9.3-years of term remaining, backed by a lease guarantee from Clark Associates, Inc., a $3B company.

• Overcoming market concerns regarding tenancy credit, JLL educated buyers on the tenant’s strategic location, its leading position as the largest online wholesale restaurant supplier, and the strong backing of its parent company, Clark Associates.

Savannah

• Savannah reaffirmed its position as a national absorption leader for the second consecutive quarter, with robust demand drive n by new deals (which account for 96.3% of YTD leasing volumes) and an increase in bulk leasing activity from large -scale users.

• A significant slowdown in speculative deliveries drove vacancy down 110 basis points from last quarter. Looking ahead, the construction pipeline is constrained, with only 3.8 million s.f. of available speculative space and very few options for user s seeking over 500,000 s.f.

• The market’s long-term trajectory is anchored by the Port of Savannah, which recorded its third-highest month for container volume in history in August. A healthy tenant pipeline with 16.5 million s.f. of active requirements provides a clear path to absorb ing existing vacancy and ensuring future stability.

Savannah’s industrial market continued its momentum, leading the nation in year-to-date absorption as a percentage of inventory for the second consecutive quarter. The market posted 2.6 million s.f. of quarterly net absorption, driven by four large -block occupancies and a surge in mid-sized deals. Strong leasing continued with 9.0 million s.f. signed so far this year, with an impressive 96.3% of that act ivity being new deals. Notably, leasing activity for bulk facilities over 500,000 s.f. is up compared to last year, signaling healthy demand from large-scale users.

This robust activity, combined with a significant slowdown in quarterly speculative completions, drove the vacancy rate down 110 basis points quarter-over-quarter. However, vacancy remains elevated compared to historical averages, a direct consequence of the 7.0 million s.f. of new speculative space delivered year-to-date. Critically, future supply is limited, and only 3.8 million s.f. of Savannah's under-construction pipeline is speculative space available for lease, with few options for large users. Only three of these available buildings are bulk fac ilities (ranging from 500,000 to 800,000 s.f.), while the remaining spaces are all under 282,000 s.f.

O Outlook

Savannah’s momentum is poised to continue, underpinned by powerful fundamental drivers. A strong tenant pipeline with 16.5 mi llion s.f. of active requirements, including four deals over 1.0 million s.f., is poised to absorb existing vacancy. Long -term demand is anchored by the Port of Savannah, which recorded its third-highest month for container volume in history in August and is undergoing a $4.5 billion expa nsion. New efficiencies, like a "lay berth" process saving vessels up to 15 hours, will further enhance the port's competitiveness. The combination of moderating supply and powerful, port-driven demand positions the market for both near-term stabilization and sustained long-term growth.
