EXPLANATORY NOTE
On February 25, 2026, Sila Realty Trust, Inc., (the "Company"), filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, (the "Original Form 10-K"). Except as the context otherwise requires, "we," "our," and "us" refer to Sila Realty Trust, Inc. This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Form 10-K to include information previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K provides that registrants may incorporate by reference certain information from a definitive proxy statement which involves the election of directors if such definitive proxy statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the "SEC"), within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year or as an amendment to the Form 10-K if such amendment is filed no later than the end of the 120-day period. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.
Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Form 10-K, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent events. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Form 10-K.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires each director, officer and individual beneficially owning more than 10% of a registered security of the Company to file with the SEC, within specified time frames, initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of common stock of the Company. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, or written representations that no additional forms were required, to the best of our knowledge, all of the filings by the Company’s directors and executive officers were made on a timely basis, except that a Form 4 for each of Mr. Seton and Ms. Neely reporting earned performance-based equity awards and related tax withholding was inadvertently filed late on February 6, 2025.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all members of the Board, our officers and our employees. The policy may be found on our website at investors.silarealtytrust.com by clicking on “Governance,” “Governance Documents,” and then on “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.” If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we may, rather than filing a Current Report on Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website as necessary. In addition, the Board has adopted a Policy on Inside Information and Insider Trading, which precludes the Company’s officers, directors and employees and their relatives from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of inside information about the Company and disclosing inside information to others, among other restrictions. The Policy on Inside Information and Insider Trading also provides guidelines around public disclosure and Rule 10b5-1 pre-planned trading programs.
Director and Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our Board believes that the alignment of directors’ and executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders is strengthened when Board members and executive officers are also stockholders. Therefore, our Board has adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines under which directors and executive officers are expected to acquire shares of our common stock with a value at least equal to (1) (a) six (for the Chief Executive Officer), (b) four (for non-employee directors) or (c) three (for executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer), multiplied by the annual cash retainer paid for serving on the Board (if a director) or the base salary (if an executive officer). The directors and executive officers are expected to currently satisfy at least the minimum guidelines or beginning on the five year anniversary of the date the individual becomes a director or executive officer, as applicable. Both executive officers and non-employee directors must retain 50% of equity awards (net after-tax) until the holding requirement is met. Shares directly owned and unvested time-based restricted stock are included as “owned” for purposes of these guidelines, and unearned performance-based deferred stock units are excluded. All of our directors and executive officers are currently in compliance with these minimum guidelines.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Behar, Mr. Kuchin and Ms. Mims. The Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board and annually evaluates its performance. The Audit Committee meets periodically during the year, usually in conjunction with regular meetings of the Board. The Audit Committee, by approval of at least a majority of the members, selects the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, reviews, with the independent registered public accounting firm, plans and results of the audit engagement, approves the audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees, reviews the adequacy of our internal controls and oversees the Company's cybersecurity program and any material cybersecurity incidents. The Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee that sets forth its specific functions and responsibilities. The Audit Committee charter may be found on our website at investors.silarealtytrust.com by clicking on “Governance,” “Governance Documents,” and then on “Audit Committee Charter.”
The Board has determined that all three members of the Audit Committee have the requisite financial literacy under the rules of the NYSE to serve on the Audit Committee and satisfy the definition of “audit committee financial expert” under applicable rules of the SEC. Additionally, the Board determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent under the applicable rules of the NYSE and under the separate independence standards for audit committee members under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee met five times during 2025.

Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
Our executive compensation program is designed to accomplish the following key objectives:
•attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executives;
•align incentive compensation with annual and long-term performance objectives based on challenging but achievable goals;
•employ a balanced compensation structure that encourages prudent growth and does not encourage excessive risk taking; and
•ensure a high degree of alignment of the interests of our executives and our stockholders.
The Company applied this philosophy in establishing our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee reviews the components of our executive compensation program annually to ensure that they continue to meet the evolving strategy of the Company. At our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders approved (approximately 95% of the votes cast), on an advisory basis, last year’s say-on-pay vote. Our Compensation Committee and Board considered these final vote results and determined that, given the significant level of support and the overall effectiveness of our system, no
7
material changes to our executive compensation philosophy, policies or practices were necessary or desirable. For further details, see "Elements of Compensation" below.
Roles and Responsibilities
In determining compensation for our NEOs, we employ the following process:
•Role of the Compensation Committee: The Compensation Committee of the Board (composed entirely of independent directors) operates under a written charter and is responsible for establishing and approving the terms of the compensation of the Company’s NEOs. The Compensation Committee is responsible for: (a) determining and approving target pay opportunities for each of the NEOs; (b) establishing and annually reviewing corporate goals and objectives related to incentive compensation programs; (c) assessing performance related to such goals and objectives; and (d) administering equity-based awards. Additionally, the Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of non-employee directors.
•Role of the CEO: The Compensation Committee may choose to discuss with the CEO the performance goals used in our incentive compensation programs and the Compensation Committee retains the authority to set all such performance goals. Our CEO provides the Compensation Committee with an evaluation of other NEOs' performance, suggests changes to annual target pay opportunities and provides input on the overall company performance, however, the Compensation Committee may or may not agree with the CEO’s evaluations and may or may not take the CEO’s suggestion for compensation of other NEOs. To the extent that any discussions are held regarding Mr. Seton’s own compensation, Mr. Seton is requested to remove himself from being present from any such discussion and does not participate in any resulting decisions.
•Role of the Compensation Consultant: The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain any compensation consultant and to approve such consultant’s fees and other retention terms. In accordance with this authority, the Compensation Committee retained FPC as its independent compensation consultant with respect to 2025 NEO compensation. In 2025, the Compensation Committee directed FPC to, among other things: (a) assist in applying our compensation philosophy toward designing a compensation program; (b) analyze the competitiveness and appropriateness of compensation levels for NEOs relative to a peer group of comparable REITs (discussed further below); (c) recommend to the Compensation Committee advisable compensation programs; (d) make specific recommendations related to CEO pay opportunities; and (e) assess the reasonableness of the CEO’s recommendations for other NEOs.
Peer Group
Our peer group is used as a reference point in making compensation decisions, such as determining target pay opportunities and developing cash bonus and long-term incentive award ranges and practices for both individual elements of compensation and total compensation. Although we use peer information as a point of reference, we do not target our compensation levels against a specific percentile relative to our peer group. Each year, the Company (in consultation with FPC) reviews the peer group to ensure each peer continues to be an appropriate comparison. We reviewed our peer group based on the following criteria:
•Comparable Size – REITs within an appropriate size range in terms of total capitalization, which we define as approximately 0.5x to no more than 2.5x relative to our Company.
•Healthcare REITs – Focus on healthcare REITs that primarily invest in similar medical properties.
•Net Lease REITs – Focus on net lease REITs that invest in similar lease structures and seek to achieve similar financial performance as the Company.

Elements of Compensation
The three primary components of our NEO compensation program are: base salary; annual cash bonus; and long-term incentive awards, including performance-based equity awards and time-based equity awards. Our compensation programs are designed to be complementary, and to collectively serve our executive compensation objectives and philosophy. The following is a discussion of the primary elements of 2025 compensation for each of our NEOs.
Base Salary
Each NEO is entitled to receive a base salary (“Base Salary”), subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee did not increase the Base Salaries of our NEOs for 2025. The following are the annual 2025 base salaries for the NEOs:
| Name | 2025 Base Salary | ||||
Michael A. Seton | $ | 825,000 | |||
Kay C. Neely | $ | 525,000 | |||
Christopher K. Flouhouse(1) | $ | 475,000 | |||
1.Mr. Flouhouse's employment with the Company ended effective October 15, 2025.
Annual Incentive Program
All cash bonus awards for the NEOs are made pursuant to our annual incentive programs, using a pay-for-performance structure, as follows:
•Award determinations under the annual incentive program are based on quantitative and qualitative factors set by the Compensation Committee each year that are consistent with our annual business plan.
•The payouts under the annual incentive program are based on the achievement of certain threshold, target and maximum levels of corporate and individual performance metrics over the one-year performance period.
Cash bonus opportunities are determined for each NEO at the beginning of each fiscal year by the Compensation Committee based on the review of competitive market data and internal pay considerations. Actual amounts earned by each NEO equals 50% of the target amount if threshold performance goals are satisfied and 175% of the target amounts if maximum performance goals are satisfied. For performance achievement between threshold and target, the actual amounts earned are interpolated between 50% and 100% of the target bonus. For performance achievement between target and maximum, the actual amounts earned are interpolated between 100% and 175% of the target bonus.

Below are the 2025 cash bonus opportunities for each NEO:
Name | Threshold | Target | Maximum | ||||||||
Michael A. Seton | $ | 556,875 | $ | 1,113,750 | $ | 1,949,063 | |||||
Kay C. Neely | $ | 262,500 | $ | 525,000 | $ | 918,750 | |||||
Christopher K. Flouhouse(1) | $ | 237,500 | $ | 475,000 | $ | 831,250 | |||||
1.Mr. Flouhouse's employment with the Company ended effective October 15, 2025.
For 2025, cash bonus awards were calculated under our formulaic annual incentive program with payouts based upon the achievement of performance goals that are aligned with our annual operating budget and strategic goals for the year.
The 2025 cash bonus program included the following measures:
| Performance Metric | CEO | Other NEOs | ||||||
| AFFO per Share | 45 | % | 45 | % | ||||
| Net Debt to EBITDAre | 25 | % | 20 | % | ||||
| Individual Goals / Corporate or Department Performance | 30 | % | 35 | % | ||||
For 2025, the individual performance goals set by the Compensation Committee for Mr. Seton were as follows:
•Same-store NOI growth compared to budget;
•Maintain appropriate dividend and payout ratio consistent with strong balance sheet management;
•Strategic direction and communication with Board and external parties;
•Execution of business strategy in the context of evolving economic environment; and
•Overall leadership including contributions to a collaborative culture.
For 2025, the individual performance goals set by the Compensation Committee for Ms. Neely, based on the recommendation of Mr. Seton, were as follows:
•Timely financial reporting, accuracy and appropriate public disclosure;
•Develop, grow and maintain strong relationships with banks, investors and other third-party service providers;
•Strong balance sheet management;
•Successful oversight of the finance, investor relations and capital markets functions and initiatives; and
•Overall leadership including contributions to a collaborative culture.
In November 2024, the Compensation Committee approved threshold, target and maximum goals for each of the AFFO per Share, Net Debt to EBITDAre, and qualitative performance goals that would be assessed for each individual. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee reviewed performance as compared to these performance goals as follows:
Performance Metric | Threshold | Target | Maximum | Actual Results | ||||||||||
AFFO per Share(1)(2) | $ | 2.01 | $ | 2.07 | $ | 2.13 | $ | 2.20 | ||||||
Net Debt to EBITDAre(1) | 4.80x | 4.40x | 4.00x | 3.88x | ||||||||||
Individual Goals / Corporate or Department Performance(3) | 1 | 3 | 5 | (4) | ||||||||||
1.Goals are subject to adjustment based on any unbudgeted dispositions, acquisitions and transaction activity completed during the year. Appropriate adjustments may be made due to changes to corporate strategy throughout the year not contemplated at time of goal setting or other unforeseen events. Any such adjustments are subject to the Compensation Committee’s review and approval.
10
2.Adjusted to exclude the impact of outperformance related to cash bonus expense.
3.Performance under this category is based on the Compensation Committee’s qualitative assessment of the individual performance goals described above, which were established at the beginning of the year. Performance is scored between 1.0 (lowest) to 5.0 (highest).
4.The Compensation Committee approved an average score for the 2025 individual performance goals of 4.0 for Mr. Seton and 4.0 for Ms. Neely, based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of their performance based on each of the performance goals described above. A 4.0 represents “Achieved—Exceeded Expectations” based on the measurement scale.
2025 Payouts Under the Annual Incentive Program
The approved annual cash bonus awards calculated under the Annual Incentive Program for 2025 (the "2025 Annual Incentive Program") were as follows:
Name(1) | 2025 Cash Bonus Award | ||||
| Michael A. Seton | $1,823,766 | ||||
| Kay C. Neely | $849,844 | ||||
1.Mr. Flouhouse's employment with the Company ended effective October 15, 2025, and therefore he did not receive a payout under the 2025 Annual Incentive Program.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
Long-term incentive awards are designed to align NEO compensation with the long-term results of the Company and to align NEO pay with the interests of our stockholders, as follows:
•Award values are granted in a balanced mix of performance-based equity awards and time-based equity awards.
•Performance-based equity awards are intended to encourage our NEOs to focus on sustaining our long-term performance, thus minimizing the risk of our NEOs focusing on short-term gains at the expense of our long-term performance.
•Time-based equity awards are intended to promote retention, encourage long-term performance to maximize our share value and dividends paid to our stockholders, and promote an ownership mentality by our NEOs.
Long-term incentive awards for each NEO are determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee based on a review of competitive market data, internal pay considerations and Company performance. The 2025 grant date value approved by the Compensation Committee for each NEO was granted 50% in the form of performance-based equity awards and 50% in the form of time-based equity awards as follows:
Name | 2025 Performance-Based Equity Award Value | 2025 Time-Based Equity Award Value | ||||||
Michael A. Seton | $1,137,500 | $1,137,500 | ||||||
Kay C. Neely | $550,000 | $550,000 | ||||||
Christopher K. Flouhouse(1) | $412,500 | $412,500 | ||||||
1.Mr. Flouhouse's employment with the Company ended effective October 15, 2025.
The 2025 time-based equity awards were granted in restricted stock awards of common stock of the Company that vest ratably over a four-year period, subject to continued employment through the vesting date (“Time-Based RCS”) and will be subject to the terms of the Restricted Share Plan and the award agreement.
The 2025 performance-based equity awards were approved in deferred stock unit awards that may be earned and vest based on achievement of the Company's total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the MSCI US REIT Index and a Healthcare REIT Peer Group, as defined by the Compensation Committee, over a three-year performance period, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date (“Performance-Based DSUs”). Performance-Based DSUs awarded to our NEOs represent a contingent right to receive shares of common stock at a future settlement date, subject to satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, attainment of specified performance metrics, and/or other restrictions, as set forth in the Restricted Share Plan and the award agreement. The number of 2025 Performance-Based DSUs that may ultimately become
11
earned and vested will be determined based on the following performance metrics (and weighting of each metric) following the conclusion of the performance period on December 31, 2027, at the following levels:
Performance-Based DSUs | Threshold | Target | Maximum | ||||||||
TSR Relative to the MSCI US REIT Index (50% weighting) | 50% | 100% | 200% | ||||||||
TSR Relative to the Healthcare Peer Group (50% weighting) | 50% | 100% | 200% | ||||||||
No Performance-Based DSUs will vest if the Company’s TSR relative to the MSCI US REIT Index and the Healthcare REIT Peer Group is below the threshold performance goal. The vesting percentage will be calculated using straight-line interpolation if performance falls in between the threshold and target performance goals or between the target and maximum performance goals. The target for relative TSR was established by the Compensation Committee at the time of the award.
2023-2025 Performance-Based DSUs Performance & Payouts
As previously discussed in our 2024 proxy statement, the Performance-Based DSUs granted in 2023 were to be earned and vested, if at all, in an amount between 0% and 150% of the target amount based on average Same Store Cash NOI over a three-year period. In February 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that performance was between target and maximum for the three-year average Same Store Cash NOI performance goals established for the January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2025 performance period. As a result, each NEO received a total payout of approximately 122% of the target amount. Average Same Store Cash NOI growth was as follows:
2023-2025 Performance-Based DSUs | Threshold | Target | Maximum | Actual | ||||||||||
3-Year Average Same Store Cash NOI Growth(1)(2) | 0.35% | 0.70% | 1.06% | 0.86% | ||||||||||
1.Non-GAAP financial measure. For definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, see "Non-GAAP Measures."
2.Goals are subject to adjustment based on unbudgeted disposition activity.
Equity Grant Practices
At the beginning of the first fiscal quarter, or the end of the preceding fiscal quarter, the Compensation Committee typically approves grants of time-based awards and, during the first fiscal quarter, the Compensation Committee certifies achievement of the prior year’s performance criteria for performance-based awards. In special circumstances, including the hiring or promotion of an individual or where the Compensation Committee determines it is in the best interest of the Company, the Compensation Committee may approve grants of equity awards at other times. The Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of an award and the Compensation Committee has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
During 2025, none of our NEOs were awarded stock options.
Clawback Policy
In 2024, the Board adopted the Sila Realty Trust, Inc. Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) in compliance with NYSE rules. Our Clawback Policy applies to all incentive-based compensation awarded to current and former executive officers. Accordingly, in the event of a restatement of our financial statements because of material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under federal securities laws, the Board will, if determined appropriate, recover from current and former executives any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation paid for any applicable performance periods. Our Clawback Policy was included as an exhibit to our Original Form 10-K.
Retirement Savings Opportunities
All eligible full-time employees, including our NEOs, and all part-time employees working at least 20 hours per week, are able to participate in our 401(k) retirement savings plan, (the "401(k) Plan"). We provide the 401(k) Plan to allow our employees to save a portion of their cash compensation for retirement in a tax-efficient manner. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees are eligible to defer a portion of their base salary, and we currently make a matching contribution of up to 6% of each participant’s annual base salary, determined by the individual’s contribution and as restricted by the statutory limit.
12
Health and Welfare Benefits
We provide to all full-time employees, including our NEOs, and part-time employees working at least 30 hours per week, a competitive benefits package, which includes medical, vision, dental, short- and long-term disability insurance, and life insurance plans.
Tax Considerations
Although the Compensation Committee intends to consider the impact of Section 162(m) in structuring compensation programs, it expects its primary focus to continue to be on creating programs that address the needs and objectives of the Company regardless of the impact of Section 162(m). As a result, the Compensation Committee may make awards and structure programs that are non-deductible under Section 162(m).
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Amendment includes certain financial performance measures not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Funds From Operations, ("FFO"), Core Funds From Operations, ("Core FFO"), AFFO, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, ("EBITDA"), EBITDA for Real Estate, ("EBITDAre"), Net Debt, as well as ratios derived from the foregoing. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flows to fund all of our needs.
FFO
FFO is calculated consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit's") definition, as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, and depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We do not have any investments in unconsolidated partnerships or joint ventures. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful.
Core FFO
The Company calculates Core FFO by adjusting FFO to remove the effect of certain GAAP non-cash income and expense items, unusual and infrequent items that are not expected to impact its operating performance on an ongoing basis, items that affect comparability to prior periods and/or items that are not related to its core real estate operations. Excluded items include listing-related expenses, severance, write-off of straight-line rent receivables related to prior periods, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases), loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in the current expected credit loss reserve and demolition costs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Core FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.
AFFO
The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting Core FFO for the following items: deferred rent, current period straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of fees on our real estate related notes receivable, and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the Company's operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered a more relevant measure of operating performance and more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.
Net Debt
13
The Company defines net debt as principal debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
EBITDA and EBITDAre are defined as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre also includes adjustments for impairments of real estate assets, losses from the disposition of properties, and gains from the disposition of properties. EBITDAre is a definition promulgated by Nareit. Further, the EBITDAre used herein is annualized by taking the current month amount, removing lease termination income and items that are not a result of normal operations, and multiplying by twelve months.
NOI
The Company defines net operating income or loss ("NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental revenue, less rental expenses, on an accrual basis.
Same Store Properties
In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the NOI of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development, re-development, or classified as held for sale.
Cash NOI
The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its properties excluding the impact of GAAP adjustments to rental revenue and rental expenses, consisting of straight-line rent adjustments, net of write-offs, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and internal property management fees, then including deferred rent received in cash. Cash NOI is used to evaluate the cash-based performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Same store Cash NOI is calculated to exclude non-same store Cash NOI. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Cash NOI and, accordingly, the Company’s Cash NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies.

1.These represent Time-Based RCS, which, subject to the NEO's continuous employment through the applicable vesting dates, with certain exceptions, vest as follows:
| Mr. Seton (#) | Ms. Neely (#) | Vesting Dates | ||||||
| 7,623 | 3,144 | 100% on January 3, 2026 | ||||||
| 17,299 | 7,414 | 50% per year on January 1, 2026 and 2027 | ||||||

| 47,415 | 22,926 | 25% per year on January 2, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 | ||||||
2.The market value of shares of stock or units that have not yet vested as reported in the table above was determined by multiplying the number of shares of stock or units by $23.31, the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025. The actual value realized by the NEO will depend on the market value of shares of stock or units on the date that the awards vest and the actual number of shares of stock or units that vest.
3.In calculating the number of Performance-Based DSUs and their value, we are required by SEC rules to compare the Company's performance through 2025 for each outstanding Performance-Based DSU against the threshold, target and maximum performance levels for the grants and report the applicable potential payout amount. If our performance is between levels, we are required to report the potential payout at the next highest level. For example, if the previous fiscal year’s performance exceeded target, even if it is by a small amount and even if it is highly unlikely that we will pay the maximum amount, we are required by SEC rules to report the awards using the maximum potential payouts. The Performance-Based DSUs reported in this column represent maximum payout under our 2024 Annual Incentive Program based on average three-year same store cash NOI growth during 2024 through 2026, and represents the results through the year ended December 31, 2025. Subject to the NEO's continuous employment through the applicable vesting dates, with certain exceptions, the Performance-Based DSUs, if any, will be issued following the performance period end date of December 31, 2026.
4.In calculating the number of Performance-Based DSUs and their value, we are required by SEC rules to compare the Company's performance through 2025 for each outstanding Performance-Based DSU against the threshold, target and maximum performance levels for the grants and report the applicable potential payout amount. If our performance is between performance levels, we are required to report the potential payout at the next highest level. For example, if the previous fiscal year’s performance exceeded target, even if it is by a small amount and even if it is highly unlikely that we will pay the maximum amount, we are required by SEC rules to report the awards using the maximum potential payouts. The Performance-Based DSUs reported in this column represents (i) maximum payout under our 2025 Annual Incentive Program for awards based on TSR relative to the MSCI US REIT Index during 2025 through 2027 and (ii) threshold payout under our 2025 Annual Incentive Program for awards based on TSR relative to the Healthcare REIT Peer Group during 2025 through 2027, and represents the results through the year ended December 31, 2025. Subject to the NEO's continuous employment through the applicable vesting dates, with certain exceptions, the Performance-Based DSUs, if any, will be issued following the performance period end date of December 31, 2027.
5.In connection with his departure from the Company on October 15, 2025, Mr. Flouhouse forfeited all outstanding Time-Based RCS and unvested Performance-Based DSUs.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested
Our NEOs do not have any options outstanding and did not exercise any options in 2025. The following table sets forth information about the vesting of the equity awards held by each of our NEOs during the year ended December 31, 2025:
Stock Awards(1) | ||||||||||||||

| Christopher K. Flouhouse | 2,260 | $ | 54,217 | |||||||||||
1.If an NEO used share withholding to satisfy the tax obligations with respect to the vesting of equity awards, the number of shares acquired and the value realized were less than the amounts shown.
2.The value realized on vesting is calculated as the closing share price of our common stock on the applicable vesting date multiplied by the number of shares that vested on such date.
Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
The table below reflects the amount of compensation that each of our NEOs would be entitled to receive under the Employment Agreements with Mr. Seton, Ms. Neely and Mr. Flouhouse, collectively (the “Employment Agreements”), assuming that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2025. The following amounts are only estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to each NEO upon termination of his or her employment. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. In the event of a termination by the Company for Cause, or by the executive without Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements and discussed below), including in connection with a change in control, such executive would not be entitled to any of the amounts reflected in the table and would only be entitled to the standard termination benefits provided under his or her Employment Agreement. See “—Employment Agreements” for further details. Mr. Flouhouse would not have been entitled to any compensation upon a December 31, 2025 termination because his employment with the Company ended effective October 15, 2025.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Transactions with Related Persons
The Company did not have any transactions with related parties during 2025.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Board has adopted a written policy governing the approval of related party transactions. “Related Party Transactions” are transactions in which Sila is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a “Related Party” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. “Related Parties” are Sila’s directors (including any nominees for election as directors), its executive officers, any stockholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of Sila’s outstanding common stock, and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons. Under the Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures, the "Disinterested Members" of the Audit Committee (i.e., those members of the Audit Committee who have no, and whose immediate family members have no, direct or indirect material interest in the potential related party transaction at issue) review potential related party transactions for approval or ratification. If, however, the Chief Executive Officer determines that it is impractical or undesirable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Audit Committee in approving or ratifying a Related Party Transaction (unless the Chairperson of the Audit Committee is a Related Party in the Related Party Transaction). In determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction, the Audit Committee (or, as applicable, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee) will consider, among other things, whether there are demonstrable business reasons for entering into the transaction, whether the transaction is in (or not inconsistent with) the best interests of Sila and its stockholders, the potential effect of entering into the transaction on a director’s independence, and whether the transaction would present a conflict of interest for any director, officer or employee of Sila.
Director Independence
A majority of the members of the Board qualify as “independent directors” as affirmatively determined by the Board. Our independent directors meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the NYSE. All members of each committee of the Board are independent directors. The Board consults with our legal counsel as to whether the determinations of the Board are consistent with our governance documents, and applicable securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent director.”
Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board has determined that Messrs. Kuchin and Pratt and Mss. Kirby, Behar and Mims who comprise a majority of our Board, qualify as independent directors.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
KPMG is the independent registered public accounting firm selected by our Audit Committee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. KPMG has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2014.
21
The Audit Committee reviewed the audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG, as well as the fees charged by KPMG for such services. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional accounting services by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are respectively set forth in the table below.

1.Audit fees for the year ended December 31, 2024 include KPMG's initial audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting due to (among other things) the Company's status as a large accelerated filer as of June 30, 2024.
For purpose of the preceding table, the fees are classified as follows:
•Audit fees - These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, the required review of quarterly financial statements and other procedures performed by the independent auditors in order for them to be able to form an opinion on our consolidated financial statements. These fees also cover services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and other services that generally only the independent auditor reasonably can provide, such as services associated with filing registration statements, periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, and audits of acquired properties or businesses or statutory audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates.
•Audit-related fees - These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent auditors, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions and attestation services that are not required by statute.
•Tax fees - These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, including federal, state and local issues. Services may also include assistance with tax audits and appeals before the IRS and similar state and local agencies, as well as federal, state, and local tax issues related to due diligence.
•All other fees - These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories. No fees the Company incurred in 2025 or 2024 were for services other than audit, audited-related and tax.
Pre-Approval Policies
The Audit Committee's charter imposes a duty on the Audit Committee to pre-approve all auditing services performed for us by our independent auditors, as well as all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’ independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditors has received “general” pre-approval, it will require “specific” pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All requests for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to management and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Management will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditors.
Requests to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditors and the principal financial officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. All amounts require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee prior to the engagement of KPMG. All amounts specifically pre-approved by the chair of the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy, are to be disclosed to the full Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting. All services rendered by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were pre-approved in accordance with the policies and procedures described above.
