As of December 31, 2024, Star had $44.6 million of U.S. Federal and $17.6 million of state NOLs, which Star considers to be valuable assets for its stockholders. Certain of these NOLs will expire in 2025 through 2044 unless previously utilized. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, Star has a rights agreement and charter amendment in place that limit beneficial ownership of Star's common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Star common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Star common stock and wish to increase their holdings, may only acquire additional shares with the Board's prior written approval.
