Item 7.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, J.W. Mays, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) is considering any strategic opportunities to sell or divest one or more of its properties or real estate assets to manage its liquidity needs, and the determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will generally be made after consideration of relevant factors, including, but not limited to prevailing macro-economic and real estate market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, tax implications, and considerations specific to the condition, value, and financial performance of the property to be sold.

The Company has engaged Newmark Group, Inc. to begin actively marketing 25 Elm Place, Brooklyn, New York (the “Property”) for sale to unaffiliated third-party prospective buyers. These marketing efforts are in their early stages and will remain ongoing for the foreseeable future. In the interim, management will continue to lease and operate the Property as usual and plans to engage existing tenants at the Property on a review of their current leases and the opportunity for certain tenants to enter into lease modifications or terminations, which may also include the relocation to another Company property at 9 Bond Street, Brooklyn, New York. Any decision by the Company to enter into a sale transaction of the Property will be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. There can be no assurances regarding whether a sale of the Property will take place nor on the timing of such a sale.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the potential sale of the Property and any other statements about future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” estimates and similar expressions) should also be considered to be forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: the ability to consummate the proposed transaction, disruptions in the capital and lending markets, economic conditions, risks of a lessening demand for the real estate owned by the Company, changes in government regulations, geopolitical events and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments, and the other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2025 and its most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
