GLADSTONE LAND Corp 8-K

What Happened

• On March 20, 2026, Gladstone Land Corporation's Board appointed John Sateri as the Company's Chief Investment Officer (CIO); the Company filed a Form 8-K reporting the change on March 23, 2026 (Item 5.02).
• Concurrently, Mr. Sateri was named CIO of Gladstone Capital Corp, Gladstone Commercial Corp, Gladstone Investment Corp, and Gladstone Management Corp (the Adviser).

Key Details

• Effective date: March 20, 2026.
• Mr. Sateri, age 58, has been with the Gladstone companies since April 2007 and served as Executive Vice President of Investments of the Adviser since September 2021.
• He has been President of the Gladstone Alternative Income Fund (GALT) since its June 2024 inception and sits on multiple private company boards.
• The Company has no employees and pays no direct compensation to its executive officers; officers are employed by the Adviser or Gladstone Administration, LLC. No related-party transactions concerning Mr. Sateri required disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Why It Matters

• The CIO leads investment sourcing and committee decisions across Gladstone-managed credit, equity, and real estate funds—including Gladstone Land—so this appointment affects who oversees the Company’s investment strategy and underwriting.
• Because officers are employed and compensated by the Adviser/Administrator (not directly by Gladstone Land), this change does not alter the Company’s payroll or direct compensation structure but may influence portfolio decisions and coordination across Gladstone entities.
