What changed since the prior 10-K

New

  • New

    Our property insurance coverage is limited, and any uninsured losses could cause us to lose part or all of our investment in our insured properties

    Certain extraordinary property losses may be uninsurable, and damages exceeding our insurance limits could cause us to lose our investment.
