PROXY STATEMENT FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

to be held: June 23, 2021

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I receiving this proxy statement? The board of directors (the “Board”) of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), is soliciting proxies for use at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, June 23, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. eastern time (including any adjournments or postponements thereof, the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held online in a “virtual only” format.

On or about May 4, 2021, we mailed to you and our other stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) containing instructions on (i) how to access online this proxy statement and our 2020 annual report, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and our audited consolidated financial statements included therein (collectively, the “Annual Report”); and (ii) how to vote your shares by telephone, over the Internet, or by mail. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials and Annual Report unless you request them. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, including a printed proxy card on which you may submit your vote by mail, then you should follow the instructions for obtaining such materials contained in the Internet Availability Notice.

What is a proxy? A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the shares you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy, the document in which you make that designation is also called a proxy.

What is a proxy statement? This document is a proxy statement. It is a document that we are required by law to give you when we ask you to name a proxy to vote your shares. We encourage you to read this proxy statement carefully.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting? The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to obtain stockholder action on the matters outlined in this proxy statement. These matters include: (1) the election of six directors for one-year terms expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; and (2) the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021. We will also consider any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement provides you with detailed information about these matters.

What is a record date and who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting? The record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is April 26, 2021. The record date was established by the Board as required by the laws of the State of Maryland and the bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”). Owners of record of shares of our common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned on the record date on every matter properly submitted for stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting. Our charter and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors.

How many shares can be voted and what is a quorum? You are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock that you own as of the close of business on April 26, 2021. At the close of business on April 26, 2021, there were 7,932,510 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

A quorum is the minimum number of shares that must be represented in person or by proxy in order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting on any matter, or 3,966,255 shares of common stock, will constitute a quorum to hold the Annual Meeting. If you grant your proxy by Internet, telephone or by mailing a proxy card, your shares will be considered present at the Annual Meeting and part of the quorum. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be considered shares represented at the meeting for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

What different methods can I use to vote? You have a choice of voting:

Even if you plan to participate live in the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote now by telephone, over the Internet, or by mail. Please carefully read the instructions on the Internet Availability Notice on how to vote your shares. Because the instructions vary depending on how you hold your shares and the method you use to vote, it is important that you follow the instructions that apply to your particular situation. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you do not need to return a proxy card by mail.

What is the difference between a “record holder” and an owner holding shares in “street name”? If your shares are registered in your name, you are a “record holder.” You will be a record holder if you have an account directly with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”). If your shares are registered or held in the name of your broker or bank or other nominee, your shares are held in “street name,” and you are considered the beneficial owner of such shares, but not the record holder.

How do I vote if my shares are registered in my name?

Voting by telephone, over the Internet, or by mail: If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote by telephone, over the Internet, or by mail. The Internet Availability Notice contains instructions for voting by telephone or over the Internet. You can also vote by mail by requesting, completing and returning a printed proxy card as described in the Internet Availability Notice. Please promptly vote by telephone, over the Internet or by mailing your proxy card to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Voting while participating live in the meeting: If you plan to participate live in the Annual Meeting, and to vote your shares during the meeting, you should log on to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PINE2021. To vote while participating live in the Annual Meeting, you will need to provide your sixteen-digit control number located on your notice, voter instruction form or email you may have received from the custodian of your shares containing the information in the Internet Availability Notice.

How do I vote if my shares are held in “street name”? Voting by telephone, over the Internet, or by mail: If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote, and you should vote your shares using the method directed by your broker, bank, or other nominee. In addition to voting by mail, a large number of banks and brokerage firms are participating in online or telephonic voting programs. These programs provide eligible “street name” stockholders the opportunity to vote by telephone or over the Internet. Voting instruction forms will provide instructions for stockholders whose banks or brokerage firms are participating in such programs, and may be delivered by a variety of means (including email), depending on your arrangement with the custodian of your shares.

Voting while participating live in the meeting: If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee and if you plan to participate live in the Annual Meeting and to vote your shares during the meeting, you should log on to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PINE2021. You will need to provide your sixteen-digit control number located on your notice, voter instruction form or email you may have received from the custodian of your shares containing the information in the Internet Availability Notice.

Who will count the votes?

Representatives of Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions will count the votes and will serve as the independent inspector of election.

Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote? If your shares are registered in your name, you may revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. There are several ways you can do this:

If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke your proxy or change your vote.

How does the Board recommend that I vote? The Board unanimously recommends that you vote as follows:

VOTING MATTERS AND BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS

Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following matters at the Annual Meeting:

The Board is not aware of any other matters that may properly be brought before the meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting and you are a stockholder of record and have authorized a proxy to vote your shares, the persons named in the proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

What happens if I return an unmarked proxy card? Unless indicated otherwise on your proxy card, if you return your properly executed proxy card with no votes marked, your shares will be voted to elect all six nominees as directors and to approve the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021.

How many votes are needed to approve each of the proposals assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting?

Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The election of a director nominee must be approved by a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors. Plurality voting simply means that the number of candidates getting the highest number of votes cast “for” their election at the Annual Meeting will be elected. Proxies marked “Withhold Authority” and “broker non-votes” are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

3

Proposal 2: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2021. A majority of the votes cast is required for the approval of the auditor ratification proposal (meaning the number of shares voted “for” the proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” such proposal). Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will not affect the outcome of this proposal. As described below, brokerage firms can vote your uninstructed shares on this proposal.

What is a “broker non-vote”?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Your shares may be voted on the auditor ratification proposal (Proposal 2) if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Brokerage firms have the authority under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to cast votes on certain “routine” matters if they do not receive instructions from their customers. The auditor ratification proposal (Proposal 2) is considered a “routine” matter for which brokerage firms may vote shares for which they did not receive instructions from beneficial owners. All other proposals being considered and voted on by stockholders at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine” matters under the NYSE rules for which brokers may not vote absent voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Internet Availability Notice? Some of our stockholders hold their shares in more than one account and may receive separate Internet Availability Notices for each of those accounts. If you receive more than one Internet Availability Notice, it means you own shares in multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please vote using each of the separate proxy voting instructions you receive. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is Computershare, which may be reached by telephone at 1-800-962-4284 or via their website at www.computershare.com/investor.

Whom should I call if I need copies of the proxy materials? If you would like to request a copy of the materials for this and/or future stockholder meetings, you may (i) visit www.proxyvote.com, (ii) call 1-800-579-1639 or (iii) send an email to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. When sending an email, please include your control number in the subject line. Unless requested you will not otherwise receive a paper or email copy of the meeting materials.

Who pays for the solicitation of proxies and who participates in the solicitation of proxies? We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies by the Company, including the cost of preparation, assembly, printing and mailing. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and agents may solicit proxies by telephone, Internet, or otherwise. These directors, officers, and agents will not be additionally compensated for the solicitation, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage firms, fiduciaries, and other custodians who hold shares of our common stock of record for beneficial owners for forwarding to such beneficial owners. We may also reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding such materials. Stockholders who authorize their proxies through the Internet should be aware that they may incur costs to access the Internet, such as usage charges from telephone companies or Internet service providers, and these costs must be borne by the stockholder.

May I access this year’s proxy statement and annual report over the Internet? This proxy statement and a copy of our Annual Report are available at https://materials.proxyvote.com/02083X.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting? We intend to disclose the voting results in a current report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If we first disclose

4

preliminary voting results, the final voting results will be disclosed in an amendment to such Form 8-K within four business days after the final voting results are known. Both the Form 8-K and any amendment to such Form 8-K will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and made available on our website at www.alpinereit.com.

Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company. We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to hold a “Say on Pay” vote, file a compensation discussion and analysis or make certain other disclosures relating to executive compensation, or comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period afforded to emerging growth companies in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the same time frames as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual gross revenue equals or exceeds $1.07 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, and (iv) December 31, 2024.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, six directors are to be elected to hold office for a term of one year, until the next annual meeting and until their successors have been elected and qualified. In accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws and Maryland law, each member of the Board is elected annually.

All of the nominees for election as a director are presently serving as directors. If a nominee becomes unavailable to serve as a director for any reason, the shares represented by any proxy will be voted for the person, if any, who may be designated by the Board to replace that nominee. At this time, the Board has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable to serve as a director if elected.

Five of the nominees for election as a director, Ms. Elias Wein and Messrs. Decker, Good, Richardson and Yarckin, are independent under all applicable criteria for independence set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE.

5

The following table sets forth summary information about each person nominated for election as a director:

Director Qualifications

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”) believes that our directors should possess the following qualifications:

The Governance Committee endeavors to ensure the Board represents a broad range of experience, qualifications, skills and attributes and, as a whole, reflects an appropriate diversity of background, experience and perspectives. We believe that the nominees for election as a director have the qualifications necessary to ensure that we are taking appropriate steps to address the complex issues confronting us in a challenging business and economic environment. The nominees for election as a director have held leadership positions in business (and in particular the real estate, investment and financial services business sectors) and finance over an extended period of time. Each of the nominees has demonstrated a long record of professional integrity, intellectual acumen, analytic skills, a strong work ethic and the ability to maintain a constructive environment for discussion of matters considered by the Board. Additionally, our directors have experience as board members of a diverse range of public and/or private companies.

Director Nominees

John P. Albright currently serves as our president and chief executive officer and a member of the Board and as president, chief executive officer and director of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (“CTO”), the

He has served as a director of CTO since 2012 and chief executive officer since 2011. Prior to joining CTO, Mr. Albright was the Co-Head and Managing Director of Archon Capital, a Goldman Sachs Company located in Irving, Texas. We believe that Mr. Albright’s experience involving various aspects of investment, lending and development of commercial properties, as well as real estate investment banking, brings important and valuable skills to the Board.

Mark O. Decker, Jr. has served as one of our directors since November 2019. He is a member of the Audit and Governance Committees.

Rachel Elias Wein has served as one of our directors since February 2021. She is a member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).

She has held this positions since 2009.

Mr. Richardson currently leads the multifamily investment platform of Raven Capital Management, a U.S-based alternative investment manager. He has held this position since January 2021.

7

2006 to 2011. We believe Mr. Richardson’s extensive public company experience in the real estate finance and land development sectors brings important and valuable skills to the Board.

We believe Mr. Yarckin’s experience in real estate investing, as well as his real estate private equity experience and relationships within the real estate industry, brings important and valuable skills to the Board.

There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.

Based upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee, John P. Albright, Mark O. Decker, Jr., Rachel Elias Wein, M. Carson Good, Andrew C. Richardson and Jeffrey S. Yarckin have each been nominated by the Board to be re-elected to the Board for new one-year terms expiring at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

Unless otherwise specified when the proxy is appointed (whether by Internet, telephone or executed and returned proxy card), all proxies will be voted for the election of the persons who have been recommended to the Board by the Governance Committee as nominees for director. If any nominee should be unable to serve, which is not anticipated, the proxy will be voted for such other persons as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of John P. Albright, Mark O. Decker, Jr., Rachel Elias Wein, M. Carson Good, Andrew C. Richardson and Jeffrey S. Yarckin as directors. To vote for these nominees, please vote by telephone or over the Internet, or by requesting, completing and returning a proxy card, all as described in the Internet Availability Notice.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

Board Leadership Structure

We have adopted, as part of the charter of the Governance Committee, a policy that the Chairman of the Board be an independent director. The Board believes that this is the most appropriate leadership structure for the Company, because having the Board operate under the leadership and direction of someone independent from management provides the Board with the most effective mechanism to fulfill its oversight responsibilities and hold management accountable for the performance of the Company. It also allows our president and chief executive officer to focus his time on running our day-to-day business. The Chairman is appointed by the non-management directors annually. Mr. Richardson, an independent director, currently serves as the Chairman of the Board.

No Staggered Board

All of our directors are elected annually.

Board Composition and Diversity

The Board recognizes the value of nominating for election to the Board individuals who bring a variety of diverse opinions, perspectives, skills, experiences, backgrounds and orientations to its discussions and decision-making processes. An overriding principle is that all nominations to the Board should be

8

based upon merit and suitability of the candidate. Subject to this overriding principle, the Board recognizes the need to consider director candidates from different backgrounds, including, but not limited to, geography, race, ethnicity and gender.

The Governance Committee regularly assesses the size and composition of the Board to help ensure that the Board functions in an effective manner given the size, diversity and complexity of our business and the markets in which we operate. The Governance Committee believes it is important to have a mix of experienced directors with a deep understanding of our business and others who bring fresh perspectives. The Governance Committee engages in discussions of potential additions to the Board on an ongoing basis. In seeking to maintain an engaged, independent board possessing broad experience and judgment and committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders, the Governance Committee takes into account the various factors described above in the section of this proxy statement captioned “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS—Director Qualifications”.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that five of our current directors are independent. In determining director independence, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances and the NYSE listing standards. Under the NYSE listing standards, no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us.

Board Meetings Held during 2020

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Board held four regularly-scheduled meetings, one in person and three via video conference, plus five additional video conference meetings. All of the then-current members of the Board attended more than 75% of all of the meetings of the Board and all committees on which they served during 2020. The Board also acts by unanimous written consent in appropriate circumstances.

Executive Sessions

The Board meets in executive session at least quarterly without management present. Each executive session is led by the Chairman of the Board or in his absence by the most senior independent director in attendance (based on length of service on the board).

The Audit Committee also meets in executive session at least quarterly, without management present, with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Annual Meeting Attendance Policy

As set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, it is the policy of the Board that all directors shall endeavor to attend all annual meetings of stockholders of the Company, absent unanticipated personal or professional obligations that preclude them from doing so.

Committees Established by the Board

The Board has standing Audit, Compensation and Governance Committees, each of which is composed exclusively of independent directors, as defined by the listing standards of the NYSE. Moreover, the Compensation Committee is composed exclusively of individuals intended to be, to the extent provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, non-employee directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of Ms. Elias Wein and Messrs. Richardson (Chairman) and Decker. All of the members of the Audit Committee meet the independence criteria and have the qualifications set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that Mr. Richardson qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the

9

meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and that at least one of the members of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K provides that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board in the absence of such designation or identification.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in overseeing:

The Audit Committee is also responsible for engaging our independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, approving professional services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, considering the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviewing the adequacy of our internal accounting controls.

In 2020, the Audit Committee held four regularly-scheduled meetings, one in person and three via video conference.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is comprised of Ms. Elias Wein and Messrs. Yarckin (Chairman) and Good, each of whom is an independent director. The principal functions of the Compensation Committee are to:

In 2020, the Compensation Committee held one regularly-scheduled meeting, which was held telephonically.

Governance Committee

The Governance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Good (Chairman), Decker and Yarckin, each of whom is an independent director.

The Governance Committee is responsible for:

10

In recommending potential director candidates for nomination to the Board, the Governance Committee considers such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include judgment, skill and experience with businesses and other organizations comparable to us. The charter of the Governance Committee also identifies diversity as one factor which the Governance Committee may consider when nominating a candidate for election to the Board. Diversity includes not only factors such as gender, race and age, but also background, experience, skills, accomplishments, personal qualities and other traits desirable in achieving an appropriate mix of qualified individuals.

The Governance Committee may solicit and consider suggestions of the directors or management regarding possible nominees, may consider nominees suggested by stockholders and generally shall guide the process of recruiting new directors. The Governance Committee may employ professional search firms or consultants to assist us in identifying potential members of the Board with the desired skills and disciplines. Nominations made by stockholders should be made in accordance with the procedures set forth below in this section under “Stockholder Nominations for the Board.” Candidates proposed by stockholders will be considered using the same criteria and in the same manner as all other candidates are considered.

Ms. Elias Wein, who was appointed to the Board on February 10, 2021, was recommended to the Governance Committee as a director candidate by Mr. Albright, and then appointed to the Board upon the recommendation of the Governance Committee after the Governance Committee considered Ms. Elias Wein and a number of other candidates.

In 2020, the Governance Committee held one regularly-scheduled meeting, which was held telephonically.

Committee Charters

Our Audit, Compensation and Governance Committees have adopted charters that meet the standards established by the NYSE. Copies of these charters are available on our website at www.alpinereit.com and will be provided in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests copies.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board plays an active role in overseeing management of our risks. The committees of the Board assist the full Board in risk oversight by addressing specific matters within the purview of each committee. The Audit Committee focuses on oversight of financial risks relating to us, the Compensation Committee focuses primarily on risks relating to our equity compensation plans and arrangements, and the Governance Committee focuses on reputational and corporate governance risks relating to our company, including the independence of the members of the Board. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, our full Board plans to keep itself regularly informed regarding such risks through committee reports and otherwise. We believe the leadership structure of the Board supports effective risk management and oversight.

Stockholder nominations for election to the Board should be sent to the attention of our corporate secretary at the address appearing on the notice accompanying this proxy statement, describing the candidate’s qualifications and accompanied by the candidate’s written statement of willingness and affirmative desire to serve in a manner representing the interest of all stockholders. Stockholders may also make nominations directly by following the procedure specified in the Bylaws.

We provide the opportunity for interested parties, including stockholders, to communicate with members of the Board. Interested parties may communicate with our Chairman, the other independent Board members or the chair of any of the committees of the Board by e-mail or regular mail.

This officer has the authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION FOR 2020

In 2019, the Board adopted a non-employee director compensation policy pursuant to which (i) each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $50,000 and (ii) the Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000, both of which retainer amounts are payable quarterly in arrears, in either cash or shares of Company common stock, as elected by each non-employee director at the commencement of each fiscal year. In addition, we reimburse each of our non-employee directors for his or her travel expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at Board and committee meetings. Directors who are officers or employees of our external manager or CTO will not receive compensation for serving on the Board.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

To ensure proper alignment with our stockholders, no director, officer or employee of us, the Manager or CTO, or any designee of such person, is permitted to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities that have been granted to such

Disclosure Committee

We maintain a Disclosure Committee consisting of members of our executive management and senior staff. The purpose of the Disclosure Committee is to oversee our system of disclosure controls and assist and advise the chief executive officer and chief financial officer in making the required certifications in SEC reports. The Disclosure Committee was established to bring together on a regular basis our senior executives, representatives from our core business and the CTO personnel that our external manager provides to us involved in the preparation of our financial statements to discuss any issues or matters of which the committee members are aware that should be considered for disclosure in our public SEC filings and review our draft periodic SEC reports prior to filing. The Disclosure Committee reports to our president and chief executive officer and, as appropriate, to the Audit Committee. The Disclosure Committee meets quarterly and otherwise as needed. The Disclosure Committee has adopted a written charter to memorialize the Committee’s purpose and procedures.

Stockholder Outreach and Communication; Stockholder Responsiveness

On a regular basis throughout the year, our management engages in communications with our significant investors to ensure that management and the Board understand and consider the issues that are important to our stockholders. We regularly discuss with our investors matters relating to our business, strategic plans and financial results.

We plan to continue these types of discussions with our stockholders on a wide range of matters, as they provide valuable feedback and enable us to address stockholder concerns and interests in designing and implementing our programs and practices.

No Poison Pill

We do not currently have a stockholder rights plan, commonly known as a “poison pill,” in effect.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

To further align the interests of our directors with stockholders, the Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to these guidelines, each non-employee director is required to own shares of our common stock equal in value to five times the non-employee directors’ annual cash retainer (i.e., $250,000). New directors are expected to meet the standards set forth in the guidelines within five years after the date of his or her election to the Board. Compliance is measured on the first trading day of each calendar year. A copy of our stock ownership guidelines is available in the Investor Relations section of our website (www.alpinereit.com).

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors, our systems of internal controls over financial reporting established by management and the Board, and our auditing, accounting, and financial reporting processes generally.

Among other things, the Audit Committee contracts with the independent auditors to audit our financial statements; inquires as to the independence of the auditors, and obtains at least annually the auditors’ written statement describing their independent status; meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss their examination, their evaluation of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting; and investigates any matter brought to its attention within the scope of its duties, with the power to retain outside counsel for this purpose, as deemed necessary by the Audit Committee.

In connection with the preparation and filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020:

(1) The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, including a discussion of the reasonableness of significant judgements and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

(2) The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The above report will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing by us under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that we specifically incorporate the same by reference.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

We are externally managed by the Manager pursuant to our management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”). The Management Agreement provides that the Manager is responsible for managing our affairs. We do not have any employees. Accordingly, our president and chief executive officer and each of our other executive officers, each of whom is an executive officer of CTO, do not receive cash compensation from us for serving as our executive officers. Instead, we pay the Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of “total equity” (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The Manager also has the ability to earn incentive fees based on our total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate subject to a high-water mark price. For further details regarding the payments to the Manager, see “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the fees we incurred under the Manager totaled approximately $2,554,098 in base management fees and we incurred no incentive fees.

The Manager is not entitled to be reimbursed for wages, salaries and benefits of CTO’s officers and employees provided to the Company through the Manager. The Manager or CTO is solely responsible for all compensation costs and expenses related to the officers and employees of CTO or the Manager that may perform services for the Company, and the Company has no liability or responsibility therefor.

Executive Compensation Paid by the Manager and its Affiliates

As employees of CTO, our president and chief executive officer and each of our other executive officers are compensated under compensation arrangements made with CTO. You may find information about CTO’s compensation program in its definitive proxy statement relating to its 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021, which may be found on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on CTO’s website at www.ctoreit.com.

Equity Compensation

The Compensation Committee may, from time to time, grant equity-based awards designed to align the interests of the Manager and personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who support the Manager in providing services to us under the Management Agreement with those of our stockholders, by allowing the Manager and personnel of the Manager and its affiliates to share in the creation of value for our stockholders through stock appreciation and dividends. These equity-based awards would generally be

17

subject to time-based vesting requirements designed to promote retention and to achieve strong performance for our company.

These awards further provide flexibility to us in our ability to enable the Manager and its affiliates who support the Manager to attract, motivate and retain talented individuals. Prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) on November 26, 2019, we adopted the Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. 2019 Individual Equity Incentive Plan (the “Individual Equity Incentive Plan”) and the Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. 2019 Manager Incentive Plan (the “Manager Equity Incentive Plan” and, together with the Individual Equity Incentive Plan, the “Equity Plans”), which provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock units, cash awards, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, including long-term incentive plan units, and incentive awards. The Individual Equity Incentive Plan is intended to provide a means through which our directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of us and our affiliates, as well as employees of the Manager and its affiliates who are providing services to us and our affiliates, can acquire and maintain an equity interest in us or be paid incentive compensation. Restricted shares of common stock issued to our independent directors in respect to a portion of their annual director fees are issued under the Individual Equity Incentive Plan. The Manager Equity Incentive Plan is intended to provide a means through which the Manager and its affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in us, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of our company and aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.

The Board has delegated its administrative responsibilities under the Equity Plans to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has broad discretion to administer the Equity Incentive Plans, including the power to determine the eligible persons to whom awards are granted, the number and type of awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of awards. The Compensation Committee may also condition the vesting, settlement or exercise of an award on achievement of one or more performance goals, accelerate the vesting or exercise of any award and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Equity Incentive Plans.

The Compensation Committee did not grant any awards to the Manager or any of its employees pursuant to the Equity Plans in 2020. The Compensation Committee has not adopted a formal equity incentive compensation program for 2021, and, to the extent the Compensation Committee determines to make grants during 2021, we expect that goals, business objectives and measures of our performance will be considered by the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Manager and executive officers in determining whether to make, and the amount of any, such grants.

18

The following table provides information regarding the Equity Plans as of December 31, 2020:

INDEMNIFICATION

We have entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that obligate us to indemnify them to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. The agreements require us to indemnify the director or executive officer, or the indemnitee, against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with a proceeding other than one initiated by or on our behalf and in which the indemnitee is determined in a final adjudication to be liable to us. The indemnitee will not be entitled to indemnification if it is established that one of certain prohibitions on indemnification under Maryland law exists.

In addition, each indemnification agreement requires us to advance expenses incurred by the indemnitee within ten days of the receipt by us of a statement from the indemnitee requesting the advance, provided that the statement evidences the expenses and is accompanied by:

Each indemnification agreement also provides for procedures for the determination of entitlement to indemnification, including requiring that such determination be made by independent counsel after a change in control of us.

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty that was established by a final judgment and was material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision and eliminates the liability of our directors and

19

executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. We have obtained a policy of insurance under which our directors and executive officers are insured, subject to the limits of the policy, against certain losses arising from claims made against such directors and executive officers by reason of any acts or omissions covered under such policy in their respective capacities as directors or executive officers, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. Additionally, the indemnification agreements we have entered into with each of our directors and executive officers require, among other things, that we maintain a comparable “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for six years after each director or executive officer ceases to serve in such capacity in connection with a change in control transaction.

ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Fees paid to Grant Thornton, our independent registered public accounting firm pertaining to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows:

Audit Fees: The aggregate fees incurred for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton in connection with its audit of our combined and consolidated financial statements with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and its limited reviews of our unaudited combined and consolidated interim financial statements for such fiscal year, were approximately $357,820.

Audit-Related Fees: The aggregate fees incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton for audit-related services were $95,000.

Tax Fees: The aggregate fees incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $153,407.

All Other Fees: The aggregate fees incurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for other services rendered by Grant Thornton were $0.

The Audit Committee is responsible for retaining and terminating our independent registered public accounting firm and for approving the performance of any non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the lead partner of the independent registered public accounting firm and for presenting its conclusions with respect to the independent registered public accounting firm to the full Board.

The Audit Committee has the sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms, as well as significant non-audit services, with the independent registered public accounting firm. During fiscal 2020, the Audit Committee approved all audit engagement fees and terms with Grant Thornton, as well as all significant non-audit services performed by Grant Thornton.

20

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information available to us as of April 26, 2021 (except as otherwise indicated) with respect to any common stock owned by our directors, executive officers who served during 2020, and any individual or group of stockholders known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding common stock. We have no options or similar securities outstanding that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this proxy statement.

21

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures With Respect to Related Party Transactions

The Board has adopted a written statement of policy establishing guidelines with respect to the review, approval and ratification of related party transactions. The policy applies to any transaction in which we are a participant, any “related party” has a direct or indirect interest and the amount involved exceeds $120,000. A “related party” includes:

The Audit Committee will review the material facts of all related party transactions that require approval and either approve or disapprove of our entry into the transaction. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

All related party transactions will be disclosed in our applicable filings with the SEC as required under SEC rules.

In connection with the IPO, we entered into certain transactions with CTO, which are described below.

Formation Transactions

On November 26, 2019, the Company purchased from CTO 20 single-tenant net lease income properties, including 15 properties purchased for approximately $125.9 million in cash and five properties which CTO contributed to our operating partnership, Alpine Income Property OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for 1,223,854 common units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. The OP Units are redeemable for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, beginning one year after the issuance of such units. The value of these OP Units, based on the IPO price of $19.00 per share, was approximately $23.3 million.

On November 26, 2019, CTO also invested an aggregate of $15.5 million in the Company through (i) a direct investment of $8 million in shares issued as part of the IPO and (ii) the purchase of $7.5 million in Company shares through the Concurrent CTO Private Placement.

22

Management Agreement

On November 26, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager manages, operates and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by the Board. The initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on November 26, 2024 and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the Management Agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms. Under the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to receive from us a base management fee and incentive compensation, as well as the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Manager.

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, we pay the Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), and, if earned, certain annual incentive fees. We are also required to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses described in the Management Agreement, if incurred by the Manager. So long as the Management Agreement remains in effect, we are required to continue to make quarterly payments of the base management fee and, if applicable, annual incentive fee payments to the Manager and to reimburse the Manager for certain expenses. See Note 15 to our consolidated and combined financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021 for additional details.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred an aggregate of approximately $2,554,098 of base management fees payable to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. To date, the Manager has not earned any incentive fees. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we reimbursed the Manager for an aggregate of approximately $39,402 of expenses incurred on our behalf by the Manager during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement

On November 26, 2019, we entered into an exclusivity and right of first offer agreement (the “Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement”) with CTO. The term of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement commenced on the date of the closing of the IPO and will continue for so long as the Management Agreement is in effect. During the term of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement, CTO will not, and will cause each of its affiliates (which for purposes of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement does not include us and our subsidiaries) not to, acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, unless:

23

The terms of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement do not restrict CTO or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.

For purposes of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement, “single-tenant, net leased property” means a property that is net leased, on a triple-net or double-net basis, to a single tenant or, if such property is net leased to more than one tenant, 95% or more of the rental revenue derived from the ownership and leasing of such property is attributable to a single tenant.

Pursuant to the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement, CTO has agreed that neither CTO nor any of its affiliates (which for purposes of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement will not include us and our subsidiaries) will enter into any agreement with any third party for the purchase and/or sale of any single-tenant, net leased property that:

without first offering us the right to purchase such property.

Registration Rights Agreement

On November 26, 2019, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with CTO, pursuant to which we agreed to register the resale of the 394,737 shares of our common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”) that we sold to CTO in the Concurrent CTO Private Placement and any additional shares of our common stock issued to CTO in respect of the Private Placement Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”). The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file a “shelf registration statement” to register the resale of the Registrable Shares as soon as practicable after we become eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 for the registration of securities, and we must maintain the effectiveness of such shelf registration statement until all the Registrable Shares have been sold under the shelf registration statement or become eligible for sale, without restriction, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement (as defined below), following the date on which we become eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 for the registration of securities and subject to certain further conditions as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, we must file a shelf registration statement covering the issuance or resale of shares of our common stock issuable to the holders of OP Units, including CTO and certain affiliates of CTO, upon redemption of their OP Units.

Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

Alpine Income Property GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly owned subsidiary, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner”), entered into an amended and restated agreement of limited partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), effective November 26, 2019. The Operating Partnership is structured to make distributions with respect to OP Units that will be equivalent to the distributions made to our common stockholders. The Partnership Agreement permits holders of OP Units to redeem their OP Units for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis beginning one year after the date of issuance. We are the sole member of the General Partner and currently own approximately 85.9% of the OP Units in the Operating Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership. Consequently, we, as the sole member of the General Partner, have full power and authority to do all things we deem necessary or desirable to conduct the business of the Operating Partnership, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

24

Tax Protection Agreement

On November 26, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a tax protection agreement (the “Tax Protection Agreement”) with CTO and Indigo Group Ltd., a Florida limited partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTO (“Indigo”). Pursuant to the terms of the Tax Protection Agreement, if we dispose of any interest in the Contributed Properties (as defined below) in a taxable transaction within ten years of the IPO closing date, we will indemnify CTO and Indigo for any tax liabilities attributable to the built-in gain that exists with respect to such Contributed Properties as of the IPO closing date and the tax liabilities incurred as a result of such tax protection payment. Pursuant to the Tax Protection Agreement, it is anticipated that the total amount of protected built-in gain on the Contributed Properties and other assets is approximately $9.1 million. Such indemnification obligations could result in aggregate payments of up to $3.1 million. The amount of tax is calculated without regard to any deductions, losses or credits that may be available. The Tax Protection Agreement applies to the disposition of any interest in Alpine Valley Music Theater (East Troy, WI); Family Dollar (Lynn, MA); Hobby Lobby (Winston-Salem, NC); Cheddars (Jacksonville, FL); and Scrubbles (Jacksonville, FL) (each, a “Contributed Property” and, collectively, the “Contributed Properties”).

The tax indemnities described above will not apply to: (i) a disposition of a Contributed Property if such disposition constitutes a “like-kind exchange” under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (ii) an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Code or (iii) another transaction (including, but not limited to, a contribution of property that qualifies for the non-recognition of gain under Sections 721 or 351 of the Code or a merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership with or into another entity that qualifies for taxation as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if such transaction does not result in the recognition of taxable income or gain to CTO or Indigo with respect to its OP Units. In the case of the exception discussed in the preceding sentence, the tax protection then would apply to the replacement property (or the partnership interest) received in the transaction, to the extent that the sale or other disposition of that replacement asset would result in the recognition of any of the built-in gain that existed for the applicable Contributed Property at the time of the Company’s formation transactions.

Ownership Limit Waiver

Our charter generally prohibits, with certain exceptions, any stockholder from owning more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of any class or series of our capital stock. We have granted a waiver to CTO to own up to 11% of the outstanding shares of our common stock in the aggregate.

Indemnification

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that obligate us to indemnify them to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law as discussed under “Indemnification.”

PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board has nominated directors John P. Albright, Mark O. Decker, Jr., Rachel Elias Wein, M. Carson Good, Andrew C. Richardson and Jeffrey S. Yarckin to be elected to hold office for a term of one year, until the next annual meeting and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

Recommendation Regarding the Election of Directors

The Board recommends that you vote FOR electing the six named nominees as our directors.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee, with the concurrence of the Board, has selected Grant Thornton, an independent registered public accounting firm, to be our auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, subject to ratification by our stockholders. We expect a representative of Grant Thornton to attend the annual meeting. This representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires, and we expect the representative to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our charter or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the appointment of Grant Thornton to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of what it considers to be good corporate practice.

OTHER MATTERS

When Are Stockholder Proposals Due for the 2022 Annual Meeting?

In accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the annual meeting to be held in 2022 must be received by us no later than December 31, 2021 for inclusion in the 2022 proxy materials. In order for a stockholder proposal submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 to be considered at our 2022 annual meeting, the proposal must contain the information required by the Bylaws and be received by us in accordance with the Bylaws. Pursuant to the Bylaws, stockholder proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be submitted not later than December 31, 2021 and not earlier than December 1, 2021; provided, however, in the event that the date of the 2022 annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed more than 30 days after June 23, 2022, in order for a proposal by a stockholder to be timely, such proposal must be delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of the 2021 annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of (1) the 120th day prior to the date of the 2022 annual meeting or (2) the tenth day following the date on which public announcement of the date of the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders is first made.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more

26

stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Internet Availability Notice will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify us by (1) directing your written request to: Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc., 1140 N. Williamson Blvd., Suite 140, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114, Attn: Corporate Secretary or (2) contacting our Corporate Secretary at (386) 274-2202. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Internet Availability Notice at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact us as specified above.

Are there any other matters coming before the Annual Meeting?

Our management does not intend to bring any other matters before the Annual Meeting and knows of no other matters that are likely to come before the Annual Meeting. In the event that any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement of the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares represented by such proxy in accordance with their discretion.
