At its regular meeting on March 15, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of J. W. Mays, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee, elected Ms. Jennifer L. Caruso to the Board. Ms. Caruso has also been appointed to the Investment Advisory Committee of the Board.

The Board increased its size from six to seven members and elected Ms. Caruso to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Jack Schwartz for an initial term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in November 2022.

Ms. Caruso is a practicing attorney and has been a member of the law firm Michael V. Caruso, P.C. since 2018. Her cumulative experience also includes over a decade of providing legal counsel and advice to various organizations and small businesses. She assisted management of several companies with corporate organization and leadership, management and oversight of business matters and corporate sale transactions. As a volunteer, she was active in coordinating campaign operations such as fundraising, advertising, and support for a local judicial committee’s successful election efforts. Jennifer graduated from Pace University School of Law in May 2008 with a Juris Doctor.

In addition to experience as an attorney and businesswoman, Ms. Caruso’s presence on the Board will benefit the Company and shareholders relating to both a younger and more diverse perspective.
