Parking REIT Has Stopped Dividends & Distributions Following an Investigation into CEO Michael Shustek

The Parking REIT has suspended distributions and dividends following a reported internal investigation into CEO Michael Shustek.

The Audit Committee of the Parking REIT’s Board of Directors, in February of 2018, conducted and internal investigation into the potential wrongdoing of CEO Michael Shustek following the Audit Committee’s receipt of allegations from an employee of MVP Realty Advisors in an SEC filing under review by attorney Alan Rosca.

• potentially inaccurate disclosures by MVP American Securities, the broker-dealer affiliated with the Advisor, to FINRA relating to total underwriting compensation paid by the Advisor and its affiliates (other than the Registrant) in connection with the initial public offerings of MVP REIT, Inc. and the Registrant
• potential inaccuracies in personal financial statements of Shustek that were provided to one or more of the Registrant’s lenders in connection with mortgage loans or guarantees where Shustek is a personal non-recourse carve-out guarantor.
