Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement among Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”), Alpine Income Property OP, LP and Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc., dated November 26, 2019 and amended on July 18, 2024 (the “Management Agreement”), the Manager manages, operates, and administers PINE’s day-to-day operations, business and affairs. PINE pays the Manager a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”) equal to 1.50% per annum (0.375% per fiscal quarter) of PINE’s “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.
In connection with the public offering (the “Offering”) by PINE of its 8.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) which priced on November 5, 2025, the Manager executed a waiver (the “Waiver Letter”) on November 5, 2025, which provides that, subject to the completion of the Offering, the Manager will waive a portion of the Base Management Fee attributable to the inclusion of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in Total Equity (the “Incremental Equity Base”), such that the Base Management Fee rate on the Incremental Equity Base will equal 0.75% per annum (0.1875% per fiscal quarter), instead of 1.50% per annum (0.375% per fiscal quarter) as provided in the Management Agreement.
A copy of the Waiver Letter is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

| Re: | Management Agreement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Management Agreement, dated November 26, 2019, and as amended on July 18, 2024 (as amended, the “Management Agreement”), among Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), Alpine Income Property OP, LP and Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC (the “Manager”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Management Agreement.
The Company has proposed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of shares of 8.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”).
The Manager wishes to confirm certain matters, more fully set forth below, with respect to a partial waiver of the Base Management Fee attributable to the inclusion of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Shares in the Company’s Total Equity.
1. Management Fee.
In connection with and subject to the completion of the Offering, the Manager shall waive a portion of the Base Management Fee attributable to the inclusion of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Shares in Total Equity (the “Incremental Equity Base”), such that the Base Management Fee rate on the Incremental Equity Base will equal 0.75% per annum (0.1875% per fiscal quarter), instead of 1.50% per annum (0.375% per fiscal quarter) as provided in the Management Agreement (the “Waiver”). If the Offering is not completed by November 30, 2025, this Waiver becomes null and void.
2. General.
Except as expressly set forth in this waiver letter, nothing herein shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy under the Management Agreement, which otherwise remains in full force and effect.
