Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2025, certain indirect subsidiaries of Elme Communities, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as lender (the “Lender”), entered into that certain Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lender made a senior secured term loan of $520.0 million (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Term Loan was secured by first priority mortgages and security interests on all 10 properties that remained under the Company following the closing of the sale of 19 multifamily assets to an affiliate of Cortland Partners, LLC in November 2025, which, at the time, were directly owned by the Borrowers, and included: Riverside Apartments, Elme Bethesda, Elme Germantown, Elme Watkins Mill, 3801 Connecticut Avenue, Kenmore Apartments, Elme Conyers, Elme Marietta, Elme Sandy Springs, and Watergate 600. In addition, the Term Loan was secured by pledges of all equity interests in the Borrowers, along with all other personal property of the Borrowers. The Company provided a customary non-recourse carveout guaranty. The Loan Agreement contained certain affirmative and negative covenants with which Borrowers were required to comply, including maintenance of insurance, single-purpose bankruptcy, remote entity requirements, reporting requirements and restrictions on property and equity transfers and the granting of liens. Customary events of default were included in the Loan Agreement, including nonpayment of principal and other amounts when due, nonperformance of covenants, breach of representations and warranties, certain bankruptcy or insolvency events and changes in control, the occurrence of which gave Lender the right to accelerate repayment of the Term Loan.

The Term Loan was scheduled to mature on November 9, 2026, subject to a one-year Borrower’s extension option, which was subject to satisfaction of certain specified conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and the requirement that no more than $312 million of the Term Loan may be outstanding on the first day of the extended term. The Term Loan bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the one-month term SOFR (subject to a term SOFR floor of 3.00%) plus the spread.

Prior to the closing of the sale of Riverside Apartments, as described in more detail below, the remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loan was approximately $198.6 million.

On September 14, 2026, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Riverside Apartments, as described in more detail below, to cause the repayment in full of all remaining indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations under, and terminated, the Loan Agreement and other loan documents evidencing the Term Loan. In connection with such repayment, all mortgages and liens on the remaining properties securing the Term Loan were released.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, on July 23, 2026, Elme Riverside Apartments LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Riverside Seller”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Riverside Agreement”) with FPA Multifamily, LLC (the “Riverside Buyer”) for the sale of Riverside Apartments, a 1,222 unit community located in Alexandria, Virginia and related undeveloped land. The Riverside Buyer has previously entered into three other purchase and sale agreements for the purchase of four other Company properties (consisting of a purchase and sale agreement for both Elme Sandy Springs and Elme Marietta which were sold in February 2026 and separate purchase and sale agreements for each of the Company’s two remaining Washington, D.C. properties). Each of these purchase and sale agreements, including the Riverside Agreement, was negotiated independently and none have been or are contingent on any other purchase and sale agreement between the parties.

On September 14, 2026, the Riverside Seller completed the sale of Riverside Apartments to Riverside Buyer, for a purchase price of $250.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments.

The foregoing description of the Riverside Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Riverside Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on 10-Q filed on July 31, 2026 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

The following pro forma financial statements reflect the Riverside disposition and repayment of the Term Loan described above and the previously reported Elme Bethesda disposition that occurred on August 11, 2026.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Elme to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Additional factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Elme to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: Elme’s ability to remain listed on the NYSE and its expected timeline for doing so; the possibility of converting to a liquidating trust or other liquidating entity and Elme’s ability to transfer its remaining assets and liabilities to a liquidating trust; Elme’s ability to terminate its existence by voluntary dissolution on the terms and timeline anticipated; Elme’s ability to successfully complete the sales of its remaining assets, including successful completion of all closing conditions applicable to assets under contract, on the terms and timeline anticipated, or at all; changes in the amount and timing of additional liquidating distributions, including as a result of unexpected levels of transaction, general and administrative and other liquidation costs, changes in the gross asset sales proceeds for the sale of the remaining properties from prior estimates, delayed or terminated closings, liquidation costs or unpaid or additional liabilities and obligations; the possibility, mechanics and timing of converting to a liquidating trust or other liquidating entity; the ability of the Elme’s Board of Trustees to terminate the Plan of Sale and Liquidation; the response of Elme’s residents, tenants and business partners to the Plan of Sale and Liquidation; potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the on-going Plan of Sale and Liquidation; the outcome of legal proceedings that may be instituted against Elme, its trustees and others, including those related to the Portfolio Sale Transaction, completed and future property sales and the Plan of Sale and Liquidation; the risk that disruptions caused by or relating to the Plan of Sale and Liquidation will harm Elme’s business, including current plans and operations; risks relating to the market value of Elme’s common shares; risks associated with third party contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the Plan of Sale and Liquidation; general risks affecting the real estate industry and local real estate markets (including, without limitation, the market value of Elme’s properties and potential illiquidity of Elme’s remaining real estate investments); whether or not the sale of one or more of Elme’s properties may be considered a prohibited transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; Elme’s ability to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Plan of Sale and Liquidation; the risks associated with ownership of real

estate in general and Elme’s real estate assets in particular; general economic and market developments and conditions; and volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect Elme’s businesses in the “Risk Factors” section of Elme’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by Elme from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. While forward-looking statements reflect Elme’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Elme undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect new information, future events, or otherwise.

Following the Portfolio Sale Transaction, the Company owned 10 properties, all of which were expected to be sold subject to a Plan of Sale and Liquidation which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on October 30, 2025.

On November 12, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Portfolio Sale Transaction, the Company caused the repayment in full of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations under, and terminated, each of (i) the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated July 10, 2024, by and among the Company, as borrower, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Revolver”), (ii) the Term Loan Agreement, dated January 10, 2023, as amended by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and Truist Bank, as administrative agent (the “ Existing Term Loan”), and (iii) the Note Purchase Agreement, dated September 29, 2020, by and among the Company and other parties named therein as purchasers (the “NPA Notes”). On November 12, 2025, also in connection with the closing of the Portfolio Sale Transaction, the Company provided notice to the holders of its 7.25% senior notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”, and together with the Revolver, the Existing Term Loan and the NPA Notes, the “Prepaid Indebtedness”). In connection with the redemption of the Senior Notes, on November 12, 2025, the Company caused funds sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Senior Notes and all other sums payable by the Company under the Indenture to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee and, accordingly, the Indenture with respect to the Senior Notes was satisfied and discharged, except with respect to those obligations under the Indenture that expressly survive satisfaction and discharge. Also on November 12, 2025, certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as lender (the “Lender”), entered into that certain Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”)

pursuant to which the Lender has made a senior secured term loan of $520.0 million (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers, which was secured by first priority mortgages and security interests on all 10 properties that remained under the Company following the closing of the Portfolio Sale Transaction.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has completed the sale of six of its remaining properties – five of its multifamily properties, Elme Sandy Springs, Elme Marietta, Elme Conyers, Elme Germantown and Elme Watkins Mill, and its remaining office property, Watergate 600 – for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $294 million.

As previously disclosed in Elme Communities’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, on August 11, 2026, Elme completed the sale of Elme Bethesda for a purchase price of $58.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments (the “Bethesda Disposition”).

As discussed further above, on September 14, 2026, Elme completed the sale of Elme Riverside Apartments for a purchase price of $250.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments (the “Riverside Disposition”). In connection with the sale, the remaining balance on the Term Loan was paid in full.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information also reflects the disposition of each of 3801 Connecticut Avenue (the “3801 Connecticut Disposition”) and The Kenmore (the “Kenmore Disposition”) given that each disposition has been determined to be probable, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The disposition of each of 3801 Connecticut Avenue and The Kenmore is expected to close in late September or early October 2026 but neither has been consummated and each remains subject to specified closing conditions.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Elme Communities' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and Elme Communities' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Net Assets as of June 30, 2026 presents consolidated financial information as if the Bethesda Disposition, Riverside Disposition, 3801 Connecticut Disposition and Kenmore Disposition had taken place on June 30, 2026.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the six months ending June 30, 2026 presents the pro forma results as if the Bethesda Disposition, Riverside Disposition, 3801 Connecticut Disposition and Kenmore Disposition had taken place on January 1, 2026.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the period from November 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 presents the pro forma results as if the Bethesda Disposition, Riverside Disposition, 3801 Connecticut Disposition and Kenmore Disposition had taken place on November 1, 2025.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the ten months ended October 31, 2025 presents the pro forma results of operations as if the disposition of the Cortland Portfolio, Existing Debt Prepayment, New Debt Origination, Bethesda Disposition, Riverside Disposition, 3801 Connecticut Disposition and Kenmore Disposition had each taken place as of January 1, 2025.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the ten months ended October 31, 2025 present the pro forma results of operations as if the disposition of the Cortland Portfolio, Existing Debt Prepayment, New Debt Origination, Bethesda Disposition, Riverside Disposition, 3801 Connecticut Disposition and Kenmore Disposition had each taken place as of January 1, 2025.
