Park View OZ REIT Inc

Sponsored by
Park View Investments, LLC

Up to $50,000,000 in Shares of Common Stock

Park View OZ REIT Inc (the “Company”) is a recently organized Maryland corporation. We intend to operate in a highly tax efficient manner by qualifying as both a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) and a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). Through this novel “REIT QOF” structure our stockholders can potentially enjoy two recent changes in federal tax law - the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction and the QOF legislation. Both tax incentives were enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). The QBI deduction eliminates federal tax on 20% of income of certain pass through entities including REITs. Opportunity Zone legislation offers potentially substantial tax benefits for reinvesting eligible capital gains into designated communities (opportunity zones) that need capital investment. To qualify for both of these tax incentive programs we intend to invest at least 90% of our assets in qualified opportunity zone business properties. To qualify as a “good asset” for QOF benefits these investments will need to either be in properties that are new construction or in existing properties that need substantial improvement.

There are more than 8,700 designated opportunity zones across the United States and its territories. They offer a wide variety of investment profiles and we believe some of them have very attractive growth potential. We expect our future operations to encompass a wide variety of commercial development and redevelopment projects across many property types including but not limited to: Multi-family, Mixed Use, Senior and Student housing, Industrial, Healthcare or any other project that we believe will fall under the scope of the Fund’s mandate. We plan to frequently partner with developers who can provide us geographic and project specific expertise. Because many of the opportunity zone benefits reward long term capital investments we intend to invest accordingly. We believe our connections and reputation along with our long-term investment horizon make us an attractive co-investment partner. As of the date of this offering circular, we have not identified any particular asset to acquire.

Below is a brief outline of the potential investor benefits provided by Park View OZ REIT. To be eligible for QOF benefits an investor with a capital gain must reinvest the gain into a QOF within 180 days of the gain’s realization date. There are many factors to consider when investing in our “REIT QOF” structure. We highly recommend you consult with your tax advisor.

Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) Benefits

The Original Capital Gain is Deferred: The realization date of the original capital gain will be deferred until the QOF investment is sold or December 31, 2026, whichever comes first. This allows an investor investing in a QOF in 2020 to keep their capital working for them for an extra 6 plus years.

Partial Elimination of the Original Capital Gain Liability: Once a QOF investment is held for 5 years, the investor may elect to step-up his cost basis 10% thereby eliminating 10% of the tax liability permanently.

Total Capital Gain Elimination: Once an investment is held for 10 years, the investor may elect to step-up his investment in the new opportunity zone investment by 100% thereby eliminating all capital gain liability. This benefit will last until the asset is sold or 2047, whichever comes first.

Potential State and Local Tax Benefits: Some state and local governments are also providing tax incentives for QOF investments. You should check for availability with your tax advisor.

Social Impact Investing: The objective of the opportunity zone program is to spread economic prosperity more evenly by encouraging capital investment into traditionally economically disadvantaged communities.

REIT Benefits

Eliminates Double Taxation on Earnings Dividends: We are a C corporation that will elect to be taxed as a REIT. As a REIT we will not be taxed at the corporate level on earnings passed through to investors in the form of dividends. We intend to pay out at least 90% of our taxable earnings in dividends to investors quarterly.

QBI 20% Income Tax Deduction: Qualified Business Income (QBI) allows REIT investors to deduct 20% of their taxable REIT income.

Eliminates Dual State and Local Income Tax Exposure: Partnerships expose investors to state and local tax both at the project location and where the investor is domiciled. As a C corporation, our investor would only be responsible for taxes applicable to their tax residence.

Form 1099-DIV not a K-1: As a C corporation, you will receive the more familiar and less complicated 1099-DIV tax form rather the K-1 used by partnerships.

Lower Fees

No Sale Commission: We are not charging a sales commission as part of this offering.

No Acquisition or Disposition Fees: Our Manager will not be paid any acquisition or disposition fees in connection with the Company’s investments.

Low Management Fee: We are charging a low annual management fee of 0.75% as compared with many real estate managers who charge 1.5 to 2%.

Low Management Interest / Carried Interest: Our Manager will be issued a management interest equal to 5% of our outstanding capital stock, subject to anti-dilution protection. This management interest will result in a “carried interest” to our Manager that is significantly less than the carried interest of 20% typically earned by external managers of other REITs and private real estate funds.

Additional Benefits

Public Company Transparency: Our Company is subject to periodic public reporting requirements under federal securities laws.

Investment Expertise: Our Manager relies on a highly qualified team of executives, directors and advisors with extensive prior investment management and real estate investment experience that will provide our Company with expertise that many real estate funds cannot provide to their investors.

Development Partners: We anticipate participating in co-investments with a variety of partners. We believe these partnerships will add geographic as well as project specific expertise and deliver enhanced profit opportunity and portfolio diversification for our investors.

Investment Liquidity: As a result of this Regulation A offering our shares will be fully tradable. We intend to list our shares on a securities exchange as soon as is practical. Although, there is no guarantee we will be able to have our shares traded on a public market. Additionally, we have adopted a Stockholder Redemption Plan through which stockholders may have the opportunity to have their common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. See “Stockholder Redemption Plan.”

Minimal Investment Requirements: This offering being conducted pursuant to Regulation A, which allows for both accredited and other “qualified purchasers” to have access to institutional quality investments. In addition, we have set a low minimum investment amount of $10,000 per investor.

All of our assets will be held by, and all of our operations will be conducted through, our operating partnership, Park View OZ REIT OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”). We will be the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. We are externally managed by Park View OZ REIT Manager (our “Manager”), which is an affiliate of Park View Investments, LLC (our “Sponsor”).

We intend to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

We are offering up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock on a “best efforts maximum” basis. Because this is a “best efforts maximum” offering, we are only required to use our best efforts to sell shares of our common stock. We are offering up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock in our offering at $100.00 per share. The per share purchase price will be adjusted every fiscal quarter as of January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter) and will equal the sum of our net asset value, or NAV, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter, rounded to the nearest penny (NAV per share). The minimum investment in shares of our common stock for initial purchases is 100 shares, or $10,000 based on our initial offering price per share, provided that our Manager has the discretion to accept smaller investments. We expect to offer common stock in this offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered, unless this offering is terminated by our Manager at an earlier time.

Shares of our common stock will be subject to the ownership and transfer limitations in our charter which are intended to assist us in qualifying and maintaining our qualification as a REIT, including, subject to certain exceptions, a 9.8% ownership limit. See “Description of our Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law, our Charter and Bylaws—Restrictions on Ownership of Shares.”

This offering is intended to qualify as a “Tier 2” offering pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act. In preparing this offering circular, we have elected to comply with the applicable disclosure requirement of Form S-11 under the Securities Act to allow us to more seamlessly list on a national securities exchange, should we choose to do so.

Investing in shares of our common stock is speculative and involves substantial risks. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” to read about the more significant risks you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. These risks include the following:

The Company and its officers and associated persons intend to conduct this offering in accordance with Rule 3a4-1 and, therefore, none of them is required to register as a broker-dealer.

No Dual State and Local Income Tax Exposure: Partnerships expose investors to state and local tax both at the project location and where the investor is domiciled. As a C corporation our investor would only be responsible for taxes applicable to their home location.

Publicly Tradable Shares: As a result of this public offering our shares will be fully tradable although a market for the shares may not exist. It is our intention to have the shares traded on a public market as soon as is practical. Because many of the tax benefits, especially opportunity zone benefits, are based on long holding periods. We feel this fund is best suited as a long-term investment vehicle. However, we realize that it is a benefit to be able to exit on your own timetable.

Q: What is a real estate investment trust, or REIT?

In this offering circular, we refer to an entity that qualifies to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a REIT. We intend to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Q: What is a “qualified opportunity fund” (QOF)?

A “qualified opportunity fund” can be a corporation, a limited liability company or a partnership. QOFs must invest at least 90% of its assets in qualified opportunity zone property, which is defined as (1) qualified opportunity zone stock, (2) qualified opportunity zone partnership interest or (3) qualified opportunity zone business property.

Park View OZ REIT will be investing in qualified opportunity zone business property. This is commercial real estate located in opportunity zones that qualifies as a “good asset” by passing one of two criteria:

Q: What tax advantages arise from investing in a qualified opportunity fund?

First, the tax due on your initial capital gain will be deferred until you sell you QOF investment or until December of 2026. This will allow you to keep your money earning for you longer.

Second, once the investment is held for 5 years you will receive a step-up of 10% on your original tax basis. The eliminates 10% of the tax you have deferred.

The third benefit, and potentially the most significant, is once the investment has been held for 10 years all capital gains on the opportunity zone investment will be eliminated via a 100% cost basis step-up election.

Additionally, once an investment is held for 10 years the 100% basis step-up eliminates any tax arising from depreciation recapture on the investment.

Q: Who is eligible for opportunity zone benefits?

Q: How do taxpayers claim opportunity zone tax benefits?

Q: What gains are eligible for qualified opportunity zone tax benefits?

Non-qualifying cash can be invested in a qualified opportunity fund, either independently or in conjunction with capital gains. However, the non-qualifying cash will not be eligible for opportunity zone benefits. Our intent is to achieve attractive returns regardless of tax incentives.

Q: Are there other tax considerations related to qualified opportunity funds?

There are many factors to consider when investing in qualified opportunity zone funds. We highly recommend you consult with your tax advisor.

Q: Who will choose which investments you make?

Q: What competitive advantages do we achieve through our relationship with our Sponsor?

Pursuant to a support agreement between our Manager and our Sponsor, our Sponsor will provide our Manager with the personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations and responsibilities under the management agreement. Please see “Management—Executive Officers of our Manager”, “Executive Officers and Directors” and “Advisory Board” for biographical information regarding these individuals.

Q: Why should I invest in commercial real estate investments?

Q: What is a “qualified opportunity zone”?

To be certified as a qualified opportunity zone, the designated census tract must have a poverty rate of at least 20% and be an area for which the median family income does not exceed 80% of the statewide family income or, if located in a metropolitan area, does not exceed 80% of the metropolitan area median family income. Certain census tracts contiguous with low income communities may also be designated as qualified opportunity zone if the median family income of the census tract does not exceed 125% of the median family income of the low-income community with which the census tract is contiguous. As of the date of this offering circular, there were more than 8,700 qualified opportunity zones throughout the United States.

In order to be a “qualified opportunity fund,” at least 90% of the fund’s assets need to consist of “qualified opportunity zone property” (the “90% Asset Test”). A qualified opportunity fund must determine whether it meets the 90% Asset Test on each of: (i) the last day of the first six-month period of its taxable year, and (ii) the last day of its taxable year (each a “Semiannual Test Date”). Subject to a one time six-month cure period, for each month following a Semiannual Test Date in which a qualified opportunity fund fails to meet the 90% Asset Test, it will be required to pay a penalty equal to: (a) the excess of 90% of the fund’s aggregate assets over the aggregate amount of qualified opportunity zone property held by the fund, multiplied by (b) the short-term federal interest rate plus 3%. However, notwithstanding a qualified opportunity fund’s failure to meet the 90% Asset Test, no penalty will be imposed if the fund demonstrates that its failure is due to reasonable cause.

Q: What kind of offering is this?

Additionally, listed REITs are subject to more demanding public disclosure and corporate governance requirements than we will be subject to. While we are subject to the scaled reporting requirements of Regulation A, such periodic reports are substantially less than what would be required for a listed REIT.

Q: What is the purchase price for shares of common stock?

Q: When will the closing of the purchase of common stock occur?

The Company will return any such subscription payment within 30 days following the end of the applicable 12-month period and will provide the prospective investor notice of the return within 15 days following the end of that 12-month period. The Company may, in its sole discretion, conduct closings more frequently than quarterly. On each Closing Date, subscriptions will be accepted by the Company on a first-in, first-out basis up to the dollar amount that the Company can accept and continue to be in compliance with the 90% Asset Test. The Company may, however, accept a subscription that was submitted later than other subscriptions in a particular quarter if the 180-day reinvestment period relating to such subscription would expire if it is carried over to the next quarter. Regardless of the date upon which the subscription payments are released from escrow, the purchase price for the shares of our common stock subject to the applicable subscription agreement will be the price in effect as of the date on which the investor’s subscription is initially submitted. The Company will provide the investor with written notice of the purchase price applicable to the shares of our common stock being purchased under its subscription agreement within 15 days following the acceptance of the subscription agreement. The investors will not have the right to withdraw or reconfirm their commitment prior to the acceptance of their subscription agreement or the return of their subscription payment by the Company. The investors will have no rights as stockholders of the Company, including voting and dividend rights, until their subscription agreements have been accepted by the Company.

Q: How will the NAV be calculated?

Q: How exact will the calculation of the quarterly NAV be?

Q: Will I have the opportunity to redeem my shares of common stock?

Q: Will there be any limits on my ability to redeem my shares of common stock?

In the event that we do not have sufficient funds available to redeem all of the shares of our common stock for which redemption requests have been submitted in any given calendar quarter, such pending requests will be honored on a pro rata basis. In the event that not all redemptions are being honored in a given quarter, the pro rata distributions will be rounded down to the nearest share for each stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not obligated to redeem shares of our common stock under the redemption plan.

Further, our Board of Directors may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without notice, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed stockholders, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason.

However, in the event that we amend, suspend or terminate our redemption plan, we will file an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate, to disclose such amendment. Our Board of Directors may also, in its sole discretion, decline any particular redemption request if it believes such action is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. See “Stockholder Redemption Plan” for more details.

Q: Will I be charged upfront selling commissions?

Q: Who will pay our organization and offering costs?

Q: What fees and expenses will you pay to our Manager or any of its affiliates?

We have and will continue to reimburse our Manager for the organization and offering expenses that the Manager has paid or will pay on our behalf. We will also reimburse our Manager for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the origination of our investments. Additionally, we will reimburse our Manager for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to us.

We will also reimburse our Manager for our allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of personnel providing services to us. In addition, our Manager will be issued a management interest equal to 5% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, at any time we make a distribution to our stockholders, whether from continuing operations, net sale proceeds or otherwise, our Manager is entitled to receive 5% of the aggregate amount of such distribution. The payment by us of fees and expenses will reduce the cash available for investment and distribution and will directly impact our quarterly NAV. See “Management Compensation” for more details regarding the fees that will be paid to our Manager and its affiliates.

Q: Will you use leverage?

Q: What is your dividend policy?

The REIT distribution requirements generally require that we make aggregate annual dividend payments to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain. Moreover, even if we make the required minimum dividends under the REIT rules, we will be subject to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income and gains. As a result, we may make such additional distributions, beyond the minimum REIT distribution, to avoid such taxes. See “Description Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland, our Charter and Bylaws — Dividends” and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Any dividends that we pay will directly impact our NAV, by reducing the amount of our assets. Over the course of your investment, your dividends plus the change in NAV (either positive or negative) will produce your total return.

Q: What will be the source of your dividends?

Q: Will the dividends I receive be taxable as ordinary income?

However, because each investor’s tax considerations are different, particularly those investors investing capital gains, we recommend that you consult with your tax advisor. You also should review the section of this offering circular entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” including for a discussion of the special rules applicable to distributions in redemption of shares and liquidating distributions.

Under the Tax Act, individuals, trusts, and estates generally may deduct 20% of “qualified business income” (generally, domestic trade or business income other than certain investment items) of a partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship. In addition, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income eligible for capital gain tax rates) and certain other income items are eligible for the deduction. The deduction, however, is subject to complex limitations to its availability. As with the other individual income tax changes, the provisions related to the deduction are effective beginning in 2018, but without further legislation, they will sunset after 2025.

Q: Are there any risks involved in buying shares of our common stock?

Q: How does a “best efforts” offering work?

Q: Who can buy shares of our common stock?

Q: How do I buy shares?

Q: Is there any minimum investment required?

Q: May I make an investment through my IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account?

Q: What will you do with the proceeds from your offering?

We may not be able to promptly invest the net proceeds of this offering in commercial real estate and other select real estate related assets. In the interim, we may invest in short-term, highly liquid or other authorized investments. Such short-term investments will not earn as high of a return as we expect to earn on our real estate-related investments.

Q: How long will this offering last?

Q: Will I be notified of how my investment is doing?

We will provide this information to you by posting such information on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, at www.parkviewozreit.com, via email, or, upon your consent, via U.S. mail.

Q: When will I get my detailed tax information?

Offering Summary

This offering summary highlights material information regarding our business and this offering that is not otherwise addressed in the “Questions and Answers About this Offering” section of this offering circular. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire offering circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section before making a decision to invest in shares of our common stock.

Park View OZ REIT Inc

Park View OZ REIT Inc is a recently organized Maryland corporation formed to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate properties. Substantially all of our invested assets will be held by, and our operations will be conducted primarily through, our operating partnership Park View OZ REIT OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”). We will be sole general partner of our Operating Partnership. We are externally managed by Park View OZ REIT Manager, LLC (our “Manager”).

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to originate, acquire and structure a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate properties in accordance with our investment strategy described below..

We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Among other requirements, REITs are required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of their annual REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). We intend to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Our address is One Beacon Street, 32^nd Floor, Boston, MA 02108. Our telephone number is 617-971-8807 Information regarding the Company is also available on our web site at www.parkviewozreit.com.

Investment Strategy

As a qualified opportunity zone fund (QOF) we intend to invest at least 90% of our assets in qualified opportunity zone properties that we feel have significant growth potential. Our strategy favors properties near growth drivers such as expanding urban centers, universities, medical facilities etc. We also expect to execute on opportunities to develop, renovate or reposition properties, in keeping with the spirit of the opportunity zone legislation. Our manager will combine rigorous due diligence with value discipline in identifying potential investments. We may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including but not limited to, multifamily, office, industrial, retail, hospitality, throughout the United States and its territories. We may also enter multiple co-investment and sub advisory agreements to add geographic and project specific expertise.

We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease. Furthermore, within our investment objectives and policies, our Manager will have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets.

Investment Objectives

Our primary investment objectives are:

To invest in qualifying opportunity zone properties so our stockholders can take advantage of the tax efficient benefits of a qualified opportunity fund;

Opportunity and Market Overview

Our Company’s investment structure, the “Opportunity Zone REIT,” offers what we believe is a highly tax efficient vehicle for investors with a long-term investment horizon and capital gain eligible for “qualified opportunity fund” (QOF) benefits.

Set forth below is an explanation of the benefits that the Company believes distinguishes it from traditional private real estate investment funds:

We cannot guarantee that any funds will be set aside for the redemption plan or whether any funds set aside for the redemption will be sufficient to accommodate all redemption requests. Please see “Stockholder Redemption Plan” for full details and restrictions of the plan.

We believe that we will be able to provide our stockholders with compelling investment performance on a risk-adjusted basis through (1) the application of our rigorous investment and underwriting standards, (2) the geographic and asset class diversification of our investments and (3) the expected tax benefits from an investment in our Company.

We will focus on the development and renovation of our qualified opportunity zone investments. Our strategy favors properties near growth drivers such as expanding urban centers, universities, medical facilities etc. We also expect to execute on opportunities to develop, renovate or reposition properties, in keeping with the spirit of the opportunity zone legislation. Our manager will combine rigorous due diligence with value discipline in identifying potential investments.

It is important to note that real estate markets are often unpredictable and subject to change over time. As a result, changes may occur that will require us to modify our investment strategy to identify and acquire assets providing attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Our Manager

Our Manager manages our day-to-day operations. A team of real estate, investment, and tax professionals, acting through our Manager, will make all the decisions regarding the selection, negotiation, financing and disposition of our investments, subject to the limitations in our operating agreement. Our Manager will also provide asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our invested capital.

Our Management Agreement

We are externally managed and advised by our Manager. We expect to benefit from the personnel, relationships and experience of our Manager’s management team and other personnel of our Manager. Pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between our Manager, us and our Operating Partnership, our Manager will select our investments and manage our day-to-day operations. Pursuant to a support agreement with our Sponsor, our Manager will utilize our Sponsor’s personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations and responsibilities under the management agreement.

We have entered into the management agreement with our Operating Partnership and our Manager, effective as of _____ ____, 2020. Pursuant to the management agreement, our Manager will implement our business strategy and perform certain services for us, subject to oversight by our Board of Directors. Our Manager will be responsible for, among other duties, (1) performing all of our day-to-day functions, (2) determining our investment strategy and guidelines in conjunction with our Board of Directors, (3) sourcing, analyzing and executing investments, asset sales and financing, (4) performing portfolio management duties, and (5) performing financial and accounting functions.

The initial term of the management agreement is for five years commencing on the effective date of the agreement, with automatic one-year renewal terms starting on completion of the initial five-year term. For a detailed description of the management agreement’s termination provisions, see “Our Manager and the Management Agreement—Management Agreement.”

Our Board of Directors

We operate under the direction of our Board of Directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our Board of Directors has retained our Manager to direct the management of our business and affairs, manage our day-to-day affairs, and implement our investment strategy, subject to the Board of Directors’ supervision. The current board members are Michael Kelley, Elizabeth Tyminski, Warren Isabelle and Kenneth Mabbs.

Our Board of Directors will be classified into three classes. Michael Kelley is a Class III director, Elizabeth Tyminski and Ken Mabbs are Class II directors and Warren Isabelle is a Class I director. Each class of directors will be elected for successive three-year terms ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the third year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. With respect to the election of directors, each candidate nominated for election to our Board of Directors must receive a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, in order to be elected.

Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski are also executive officers of our Manager. In order to ameliorate the risks created by conflicts of interest, our Board of Directors will create a committee to address any potential conflicts comprised of all of our independent directors (the “Independent Committee”). An independent director is a person who is not an officer or employee of our Manager or its affiliates and meets the requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). The Independent Committee will act upon conflicts of interest matters, including transactions between us and our Manager. For more details, see “Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions.”

Our Structure

The chart below shows the relationship among various affiliates of our Manager and the Company as of the date of this offering circular.

Management Compensation

Our Manager and its affiliates have and will continue to receive fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to this offering and the investment and management of our assets. The items of compensation are summarized in the following table. Neither our Manager nor its affiliates will receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees in connection with the offer and sale of shares of our common stock. See “Management Compensation” for a more detailed explanation of the fees and expenses payable to our Manager and its affiliates.

Summary of Risk Factors

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of this offering circular, which contains a detailed discussion of the material risks that you should consider before you invest in shares of our common stock.

Conflicts of Interest

Our Manager and its affiliates will experience conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our business. Some of the material conflicts that our Manager and its affiliates may face include the following:

Our Sponsor’s professionals acting on behalf of our Manager must determine which investment opportunities to recommend to us and other entities affiliated with our Sponsor. Our Sponsor may sponsor other entities that may have similar investment criteria to ours.

Our Sponsor’s executives and advisors acting on behalf of our Manager will have to allocate their time among us, our Sponsor’s business and other programs and activities in which they are involved.

The terms of our management agreement (including our Manager’s rights and obligations and the compensation payable to our Manager and its affiliates) were not negotiated through the benefit of arm’s length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

Other than our Sponsor’s investment in the Company, neither the Manager, nor our officers, directors, or affiliates will invest in this Offering.

Dividends

We expect that we will declare and pay dividends on a quarterly basis, or more or less frequently as advised by our Manager, in arrears, based on daily record dates. Any dividends we make will be following consultation with our Manager, and will be based on, among other factors, our present and reasonably projected future cash flow. We expect that we will set the rate of dividends at a level that will be reasonably consistent and sustainable over time. Neither we nor our Manager has pre-established a percentage range of return for dividends to stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we pay dividends to our stockholders.

Borrowing Policy

We intend to employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. We believe that careful use of conservatively structured leverage will help us to achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the REIT level or on assets under development or renovation, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized properties, is between 50-70% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, constructing and/or renovating our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion. See “Investment Objectives and Strategy—Borrowing Policy” for more details regarding our leverage policies.

Valuation Policies

Our NAV per share will be calculated by our Manager at the end of each fiscal quarter on a fully diluted basis using a process that reflects several components, including (1) estimated values of each of our commercial real estate assets and investments, including related liabilities, based upon (a) market capitalization rates, comparable sales information, interest rates, net operating income, and (b) in certain instances individual appraisal reports of the underlying real estate provided by an independent valuation expert, (2) the price of liquid assets for which third party market quotes are available, (3) accruals of our periodic dividends and (4) estimated accruals of our operating revenues and expenses. In instances where we determine that an independent appraisal of the real estate asset is necessary, including, but not limited to, instances where our Manager is unsure of its ability on its own to accurately determine the estimated values of our commercial real estate assets and investments, or instances where third party market values for comparable properties are either nonexistent or extremely inconsistent, we may engage an appraiser that has expertise in appraising commercial real estate assets, to act as our independent valuation expert. See “Plan of Operation---Valuation Policies” for more detail.

Quarterly NAV Per Share Adjustments

We set our initial offering price at $100.00 per share, which is the purchase price of our common stock as of the date of this offering circular. This price has been arbitrarily determined by the Manager. The per share purchase price will be adjusted every fiscal quarter as of January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter) and will equal the sum of our NAV divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the last business day of the prior fiscal quarter.

We will file with the SEC on a quarterly basis an offering circular supplement disclosing the quarterly determination of our NAV per share that will be applicable for such fiscal quarter, which we refer to as the pricing supplement. Except as otherwise set forth in this offering circular, we will disclose, on a quarterly basis in an offering circular supplement filed with the SEC, the principal valuation components of our NAV. See “Plan of Operation—Quarterly NAV Per Share Adjustments” for more details.

Stockholder Redemption Plan

While you should view your investment as long-term, we have adopted a stockholder redemption plan which may provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have their shares of our common stock redeemed by us, subject to certain restrictions and limitations. Shares may not be redeemed under our stockholder redemption plan until the first anniversary of the date such shares were purchased. Due to the illiquid nature of investments in real estate, we may not have sufficient liquid resources to fund redemption requests. In addition, we have established limits on the source and amount of funds we may use for redemptions during any calendar year.

The purchase price for shares redeemed under our stockholder redemption plan will be the applicable NAV per share at the time of redemption, less any applicable fees payable to our Transfer Agent. See “Stockholder Redemption Plan” for more information.

Information Available to Investors

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

We intend to elect to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under part F/S of Regulation A, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) if we have less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Risk Factors

An investment in shares of our common stock involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this offering circular before purchasing shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this offering circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled “Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Related to an Investment in our Company

We have a limited operating history.

We are a recently formed company and have no or a limited operating history. Our limited operating history significantly increases the risk and uncertainty you face in making an investment in our shares.

Investors must make appropriate timely investments and elections to take advantage of the benefits of investing in a qualified opportunity fund.

In order to receive the benefits of investing in a qualified opportunity fund, taxpayers must make deferral elections on Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets), which will need to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable year in which the gain treated as capital gain (short-term or long-term) that result from the sale or exchange of capital assets would have been recognized had it not been deferred. In addition, on January 20, 2020, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released new Form, 8997 (Initial and Annual Statement of Qualified Opportunity Fund QOF Investments) which requires eligible taxpayers holding a qualified opportunity fund investment at any point during the tax year to report: (i) qualified opportunity fund investments holdings at the beginning and end of the tax year; (ii) current tax year capital gains deferred by investing in a qualified opportunity fund; and (iii) qualified opportunity fund investments disposed of during the tax year. Taxpayers should also use form 8949 in the year they exit the investment.

The tax treatment of an investment in our common stock could be subject to potential legislative, judicial, or administrative changes or differing interpretations, possibly applied on a retroactive basis.

The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our common stock may be modified by administrative, legislative, or judicial interpretation at any time. From time to time, members of Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that would affect us. Although there are no current legislative or administrative proposals pending with respect to qualified opportunity funds, there can be no assurance that there will not be further changes to U.S. federal income tax laws or the Department of Treasury’s or IRS’s interpretation of the qualified opportunity fund rules in a manner that could impact our ability to continue to qualify as a qualified opportunity fund in the future, which could negatively impact the value of an investment in our common stock. Any changes to the U.S. federal tax laws and interpretations thereof may be applied prospectively or retroactively and could make it more difficult or impossible for us to meet the qualified opportunity fund requirements and accordingly, adversely affect the tax consequences associated with an investment in our common stock.

If we are unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives or pay dividends.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay dividends depends upon the performance of our Manager in the acquisition of our investments and the ability of our Manager to source investment opportunities for us. If we fail to raise sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering, we will be unable to make any investments. At the same time, the more money we raise in this offering, the greater our challenge will be to invest all of the net offering proceeds in investments that meet our investment criteria. We cannot assure you that our Manager will be successful in obtaining suitable investments or that, if our Manager makes investments on our behalf, our objectives will be achieved. If we, through our Manager, are unable to find suitable investments promptly, we may hold the proceeds from this offering in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term assets in a manner that is consistent with our qualification as a REIT. If we would continue to be unsuccessful in locating suitable investments, we may ultimately decide to liquidate. In the event we are unable to timely locate suitable investments, we may be unable or limited in our ability to pay dividends and we may not be able to meet our investment objectives.

If we pay dividends from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investments and your overall return may be reduced.

Although our distribution policy is to use our cash flow from operations to pay dividends, our charter permits us to pay dividends from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings, and sales of assets. Until the proceeds from this offering are fully invested and from time to time during the operational stage, we may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund dividends. If we pay dividends from financings, the net proceeds from this or future offerings or other sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investments in real estate properties and other real estate-related assets and the number of real estate properties that we invest in and the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. If we fund dividends from borrowings, our interest expense and other financing costs, as well as the repayment of such borrowings, will reduce our earnings and cash flow from operations available for distribution in future periods, and accordingly your overall return may be reduced. If we fund dividends from the sale of assets, this will affect our ability to generate cash flows from operations in future periods.

Disruptions in the financial markets or deteriorating economic conditions could adversely impact the commercial real estate market as well as the market for equity-related investments generally, which could hinder our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to you.

We intend to acquire a diversified portfolio of qualified opportunity zone investments. We may also invest to a limited extent in other real estate-related assets. Economic conditions greatly increase the risks of these investments (see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Real Estate and Our Investments”). The success of our business is significantly related to general economic conditions and, accordingly, our business could be harmed by an economic slowdown and downturn in real estate asset values, property sales and leasing activities. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for real estate, declining real estate values, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can negatively impact the value of our holdings. These economic conditions could result in a general decline in acquisition, disposition, and leasing activity, as well as a general decline in the value of real estate and in rents, which in turn would reduce revenue from investment management activities. In addition, these conditions could lead to a decline in property sales prices as well as a decline in funds invested in existing commercial real estate assets.

During an economic downturn, it may also take longer for us to dispose of real estate investments or the selling prices may be lower than originally anticipated. As a result, the carrying value of our real estate investments may become impaired and we could record losses as a result of such an impairment or we could experience reduced profitability related to declines in real estate values. Further, as a result of our target leverage, our exposure to adverse general economic conditions is heightened. We are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of any disruption in financial markets and adverse economic conditions in the United States and other countries.

All the conditions described above could adversely impact our business performance and profitability, which could result in our failure to pay dividends to our stockholders and could decrease the value of an investment in us. In addition, in an extreme deterioration of our business, we could have insufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations when they come due in future years. If we fail to meet our payment or obligations under any credit or other loan agreements, the lenders under any such agreements will be entitled to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt owed.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future prospects, performance and financial results.

The World Health Organization declared the recent outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, leading certain governmental authorities in the United States to require, among other things, nonessential businesses to cease physical operations and individuals to shelter in place. Such actions are creating disruption in the economy and supply chains and adversely effecting a number of industries, including retail, transportation, hospitality, office, multi-family, senior housing and entertainment. Sustained shutdowns and shelter in place orders, additional spreading of COVID-19 in the United States or additional actions by governmental authorities to curtail the spread of COVID-19, are likely to have a material adverse effect on economic and market conditions, and could significantly disrupt our operations, adversely effect our ability to lease our properties to prospective tenants, re-lease properties to existing tenants, collect rents, enforce the terms of our leases, or develop, redevelop and maintain our existing properties or properties that we may acquire in the future. For example, many counties have closed their offices and courthouses in response to COVID-19, which may limit our ability to obtain necessary licenses for development, redevelopment and maintenance of our existing properties or properties that we may acquire in the future. Additionally, certain municipalities have considered or instituted moratoriums on rent payments and moratoriums on tenant evictions in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. If such programs, or similar measures, are instituted in jurisdictions in which we have or may in the future acquire properties, they could cause significant disruption in our collection of rents for an undetermined period of time, and could leave us without adequate recourse in response to tenant defaults.

Given the evolving nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent to which it may impact our operations will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain at this time. What is certain, however, is that COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future prospects, performance and financial results.

We may suffer from delays in locating suitable investments, which could limit our ability to pay dividends and lower the overall return on your investment.

We rely upon our Sponsor and its advisors, including Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski, to identify suitable investments. Our Sponsor may also rely on Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski for investment opportunities. To the extent that our Manager’s professionals face competing demands upon their time in instances when we have capital ready for investment, we may face delays in execution.

Additionally, the current market for properties that meet our investment objectives is highly competitive, as is the leasing market for such properties. The more shares we sell in this offering, the greater our challenge will be to invest all of the offering proceeds (after expenses) on attractive terms. Except for our investments that may be described in supplements to this offering circular prior to the date you subscribe for shares of our common stock, you will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our investments. You must rely entirely on the oversight and management ability of our Manager and the performance of any property manager. We cannot be sure that our Manager will be successful in obtaining suitable investments on financially attractive terms.

We could also suffer from delays in locating suitable investments as a result of our reliance on our Manager at times when its officers, employees, or agents are simultaneously seeking to locate suitable investments for other programs sponsored by our Sponsor, some of which may have investment objectives and employ investment strategies that are similar to ours.

You may be more likely to sustain a loss on your investment because our Sponsor does not have as strong an economic incentive to avoid losses as do sponsors who have made significant equity investments in their companies.

Our Sponsor has previously acquired 100 shares of our common stock at a price equal to the initial public offering price in connection with our formation, for net proceeds to us of $10,000. Therefore, our Sponsor will have little exposure to loss in the value of our shares. Without this exposure, our stockholders may be at a greater risk of loss because our Sponsor does not have as much to lose from a decrease in the value of our shares as do those sponsors who make more significant equity investments in their companies.

Because we are limited in the amount of funds we can raise, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we make and the value of your investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire.

This offering is being made on a “best efforts maximum” basis and we may begin to invest net proceeds from this offering immediately. Further, under Regulation A, we are only allowed to raise up to $50,000,000 in any 12-month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). The amount of proceeds we raise in this offering may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a diversified portfolio of investments, even if we are successful in raising the maximum offering amount.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number, and size of investments that we make. In that case, the likelihood that any single asset’s performance would adversely affect our profitability will increase. Your investment in shares of our common stock will be subject to greater risk to the extent that we lack a diversified portfolio of investments. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a public reporting company, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to pay dividends.

Any adverse changes in our Sponsor’s financial health or our relationship with our Manager or its affiliates could hinder our operating performance and the return on your investment.

We have engaged our Manager to manage our operations and our portfolio of commercial real estate investments and other select real estate-related assets. Our Manager has no employees and relies on a support agreement with our Sponsor to perform services on its behalf for us. Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay dividends is dependent upon the performance of our Sponsor and its affiliates as well as our Sponsor’s executives and advisors in the identification and acquisition of investments, the management of our assets and operation of our day-to-day activities. Any adverse changes in our Sponsor’s financial condition or our relationship with our Manager could hinder our ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments.

We may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines without stockholder consent.

Our Manager may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines at any time without the consent of our stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the investments described in this offering circular. A change in our targeted investments or investment guidelines may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect the value of shares of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to you.

The market in which we participate is competitive and, if we do not compete effectively our operating results could be harmed.

We face competition from various entities for investment opportunities in properties, including other REITs, qualified opportunity funds, pension funds, insurance companies, investment funds and companies, partnerships, and developers. In addition to third-party competitors, other programs sponsored by our Manager and its affiliates, especially those with investment strategies that may be similar to ours, may compete with us for investment opportunities.

Many of these entities have greater access to capital to acquire properties than we have. Competition from these entities may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us or increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to sell, thereby increasing the price that we may be required to pay for qualified properties. The lack of available debt on reasonable terms or at all could result in further reduction of suitable investment opportunities and create a competitive advantage for other entities that have greater financial resources that we do. Additional real estate funds, vehicles, and REITs with similar investment objectives to ours may be formed in the future by other unrelated parties. This competition may cause us to acquire properties and other investments at higher prices or by using less-than-ideal capital structures, in which case our returns could be lower and the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.

We may frequently participate in co-investments. Co-investments could adversely be affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on the financial condition of our co-investment partners and disputes between us and our co-investment partners.

We likely will acquire non-controlling interests in properties through co-investments. Although, we will have some control in a co-investment partnership, we would not be in a position to exercise sole decision-making authority regarding the partnership. Co-investment partnerships may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were another party not involved, including the possibility that co-investment partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their required capital contributions. Co-investment partners may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the co-investment partner would have full control over the co-investment. Disputes between us and co-investment partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with co-investment partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the co-investment partnership to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our co-investment partners.

If we have a right of first refusal to buy-out a co-investment partner, we may be unable to finance such a buy-out if it becomes exercisable or we are required to purchase such interest at a time when it would not otherwise be in our best interest to do so. If our interest is subject to a buy/sell right, we may not have sufficient cash, available borrowing capacity or other capital resources to allow us to elect to purchase an interest of a co-investment partner subject to the buy/sell right, in which case we may be forced to sell our interest as the result of the exercise of such right when we would otherwise prefer to keep our interest. If we buy our co-investment partner’s interest, we will have increased exposure in the underlying investment. The price we use to buy our co-investment partner’s interest or sell our interest is typically determined by negotiations between us and our co-investment partner and there is no assurance that such price will be representative of the value of the underlying property or equal to our then-current valuation of our interest in the co-investment that is used to calculate our NAV. Finally, we may not be able to sell our interest in a co-investment if we desire to exit the venture for any reason or if our interest is likewise subject to a right of first refusal of our co-investment partner, our ability to sell such interest may be adversely impacted by such right.

Some additional risks and conflicts related to our co-investments include:

Furthermore, we may have conflicting fiduciary obligations if we acquire properties with our affiliates or other related entities; as a result, in any such transaction we may not have the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties.

If our Sponsor fails to retain its key personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

Our future depends, in part, on our Sponsor’s ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends on the continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of our Manager, each of whom would be difficult to replace. In particular, both Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski are critical to the management of our business and operations and the development of our strategic direction. The loss of the services of Michael Kelley, Elizabeth Tyminski or other executive officers or key personnel of our Manager and the process to replace any of our Sponsor’s key personnel would involve significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

The management agreement with our Manager was not negotiated with an unaffiliated third party on an arm’s length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.

We have no employees and will rely heavily on our Manager to provide us with all necessary services. Certain of our executive officers also serve as officers of our Manager. Our management agreement with our Manager was negotiated between related parties and its terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.

We will pay our Manager a management fee regardless of the performance of our investments. Our Manager’s entitlement to a management fee, which is not based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. This in turn could hurt both our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and the market price of our common stock.

Terminating the management agreement for unsatisfactory performance of our Manager or electing not to renew the management agreement may be difficult.

Termination of the management agreement with our Manager without cause is difficult and costly. During the initial five-year term of the management agreement, we may not terminate the management agreement except for cause. Our Independent Committee will review our Manager’s performance and, following the initial five-year term, the management agreement will be automatically renewed annually for an additional one-year term unless the agreement is terminated upon the affirmative vote of the Independent Committee based upon our Manager’s unsatisfactory performance that is materially detrimental to us. Our Manager will be provided 180 days’ prior notice of any such termination.

Our Board of Directors will approve very broad investment guidelines for our Manager and will not approve each investment and financing decision made by our Manager unless required by our investment guidelines.

Our Manager will be authorized to follow very broad investment guidelines. Our Board of Directors will periodically review our investment guidelines and our investment portfolio but will not, and will not be required to, review all of our proposed investments. In addition, in conducting periodic reviews, our Board of Directors may rely primarily on information provided to them by our Manager. Furthermore, our Manager may use complex strategies, and transactions entered into by our Manager may be costly, difficult or impossible to unwind by the time they are reviewed by our Board of Directors. Our Manager will have great latitude within the broad parameters of our investment guidelines in determining the types and amounts of target assets it may decide are attractive investments for us, which could result in investment returns that are substantially below expectations or that result in losses, which would materially and adversely affect our business operations and results. Further, decisions made, and investments and financing arrangements entered into by our Manager may not fully reflect the best interests of our stockholders.

We will have no recourse to our Sponsor if it does not fulfill its obligations under the support agreement, and our recourse against our Manager if it does not fulfill its obligations under the management agreement will be limited to our termination of the management agreement.

Our Manager has no employees or separate facilities. As a result, our Manager has entered into a support agreement with our Sponsor pursuant to which our Sponsor will provide our Manager with the personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations and responsibilities under the management agreement in exchange for certain amounts payable by our Manager. Because we are not a party to the support agreement, we will not have any recourse to our Sponsor if it does not fulfill its obligations under the support agreement, or if our sponsor and our Manager choose to amend or terminate the support agreement. Also, our Manager only has limited assets and our recourse against our Manager if it does not fulfill its obligations under the management agreement will likely be limited to our termination of the management agreement.

Our Manager’s liability is limited under the management agreement, and we have agreed to indemnify our Manager against certain liabilities. As a result, we could experience poor performance or losses for which our Manager would not be liable.

Pursuant to the management agreement, our Manager will not assume any responsibility other than to render the services called for thereunder and will not be responsible for any action of our Board of Directors in following or declining to follow its advice or recommendations. Under the terms of the management agreement, our Manager, its officers, members, managers, directors, personnel, any person controlling or controlled by our Manager and any person providing services to our Manager will not be liable to us, any subsidiary of ours, our stockholders or partners or any subsidiary’s stockholders or partners for acts or omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement, except by reason of acts constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under the management agreement pursuant to a final unappealable judgment. In addition, we will agree to indemnify our Manager, its officers, stockholders, members, managers, directors, personnel, any person controlling or controlled by our Manager and any person providing services to our Manager with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arising from acts of our Manager that do not stem from a final unappealable judgment of bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties that are performed in good faith in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement.

Our Manager and its affiliates have no experience managing a portfolio of assets in the manner necessary to maintain our qualification as a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF), a REIT or our exclusion or an exemption under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

In order to maintain our qualification as a QOF, REIT and our exclusion or an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act, the assets in our portfolio are subject to certain restrictions that limit our operations meaningfully. The REIT rules and regulations are highly technical and complex, and the failure to comply with the income, asset, organizational and ownership tests, dividend requirements and other limitations imposed by these rules and regulations could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT or could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties. Our Manager and its affiliates have no experience managing a portfolio in the manner necessary to maintain our qualification as a QOF, a REIT or our exclusion or an exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act. The inexperience of our Manager and its affiliates described above may hinder its ability to achieve our objectives or result in the loss of our qualification as a QOF, REIT or payment of taxes and penalties. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully operate as a QOF or REIT, comply with regulatory requirements applicable to QOFs or REITs, maintain our exclusion or an exemption under the Investment Company Act, or execute our business strategies.

Risks Related to Real Estate and Our Investments

Our commercial real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate.

Our commercial real estate and real estate-related assets will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate. The value of real estate may be adversely affected by a number of risks, including:

The value of each property is affected significantly by its ability to generate cash flow and net income, which in turn depends on the amount of rental or other income that can be generated net of expenses required to be incurred with respect to the property. Many expenditures associated with properties (such as operating expenses and capital expenditures) cannot be reduced when there is a reduction in income from the properties.

These factors may have a material adverse effect on the value that we can realize from our assets.

Our Manager’s due diligence may not reveal all factors or risks affecting a property.

There can be no assurance that our Manager’s due diligence processes will uncover all relevant facts that would be material to an investment decision. Before making an investment, our Manager will assess the strength of the underlying properties and any other factors that it believes are material to the performance of the investment. In making the assessment and otherwise conducting customary due diligence, our Manager will rely on the resources available to it and, in some cases, investigations by third parties.

The actual rents we receive for the properties in our portfolio may be less than estimated market rents, and we may experience a decline in realized rental rates from time to time, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

As a result of potential factors, including competitive pricing pressure in our markets, a general economic downturn and the desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our markets, we may be unable to realize our estimated market rents across the properties in our portfolio. In addition, depending on market rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases on properties in our portfolio, from time to time rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rental rates across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted.

Properties that have significant vacancies could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on these properties.

A property may incur vacancies either by the expiration of tenant leases or the continued default of tenants under their leases. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of our properties will depend principally upon the value of the cash flow generated by the leases associated with that property. Such a reduction in the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of our stockholders’ investment.

Further, a decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which our investments are located or in the U.S. generally could lead to an increase in tenant defaults, lower rental rates and less demand for commercial real estate space in those markets. As a result of these trends, we may be more inclined to provide leasing incentives to our tenants in order to compete in a more competitive leasing environment. Such trends may result in reduced revenue and lower resale value of properties, which may reduce your return.

We may enter into long-term leases with tenants in certain properties, which may not result in fair market rental rates over time.

We may enter into long-term leases with tenants of certain of our properties or include renewal options that specify a maximum rate increase. These leases often provide for rent to increase over time; however, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that, even after contractual rent increases, the rent under our long-term leases is less than then-current market rates. Further, we may have no ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates. As a result, our cash available for distribution could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.

Certain properties that we acquire may not have efficient alternative uses and we may have difficulty leasing them to new tenants and/or have to make significant capital expenditures to get them to do so.

Certain of our properties may be difficult to lease to new tenants, should the current tenant terminate or choose not to renew its lease. These properties generally have received significant tenant-specific improvements and only very specific tenants may be able to use such improvements, making the properties very difficult to re-lease in their current condition. Additionally, an interested tenant may demand that, as a condition of executing a lease for the property, we finance and construct significant improvements so that the tenant could use the property. This expense may decrease cash available for distribution, as we likely would have to (i) pay for the improvements up-front or (ii) finance the improvements at potentially unattractive terms.

We depend on tenants for our revenue, and lease defaults or terminations could reduce our net income and limit our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

The success of our investments materially depends on the financial stability of our tenants. A default or termination by a tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease and require us to find an alternative source of revenue to meet mortgage payments and prevent a foreclosure, if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event of a tenant default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. If a tenant defaults on or terminates a lease, we may be unable to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. These events could cause us to reduce the amount of dividends paid out to you.

We expect to acquire primarily qualified opportunity zone investments, with a focus on markets with favorable risk-return characteristics. If our investments in these geographic areas experience adverse economic conditions, our investments may lose value and we may experience losses.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire a diversified portfolio of qualified opportunity zone investments with a focus on markets where we feel that the risk-return characteristics are favorable. These investments will carry the risks associated with certain markets where we end up acquiring properties. As a result, we may experience losses as a result of being overly concentrated in certain geographic areas. A worsening of economic conditions in U.S. markets and, in particular, the markets where we end up acquiring properties, could have an adverse effect on our business and could impair the value of our collateral.

Prospective investment opportunities will be in low income areas

Investment opportunities will primarily include projects and initiatives located in low-income areas, including, without limitation, low-income housing developments and businesses located in low income areas. There are significant risks associated with the ownership of these projects and initiatives. There may be federal, state and local governmental regulatory restrictions on the operation, rental and transfer of these investments, such as the requirement that the owners of the investments rent or sell certain residential units to persons or families of low or moderate income and that the amount of rent that may be charged for these units may be less than market rates. These restrictions may adversely affect economic performance relative to properties that are not subject to these restrictions. For example, selling property that is subject to affordable housing regulatory restrictions may limit its sale price, and accordingly adversely impact the Company’s investment performance. In addition, the long-term nature of investments in government-assisted housing limits the ability of the Company to vary its portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions; these properties are also subject to changes in local economic circumstances and housing patterns, as well as rising operating costs, vacancies, rent collection difficulties, energy shortages and other factors which have an impact on real estate values. These properties also require greater management expertise and may have higher operating expenses than conventional housing projects. Properties in low-income areas may also (a) be in an early stage of development and not have a proven operating history, (b) be operating at a loss or have significant variations in operating results, (c) be engaged in a rapidly changing business with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, (d) require substantial additional capital to support their operations, to finance expansion or to maintain their competitive position, (e) rely on the services of a limited number of key individuals, the loss of any of whom could significantly adversely affect a project’s performance, (f) face intense competition, including competition from companies and projects with greater financial resources, more extensive development, marketing and other capabilities, and a larger number of qualified management and technical personnel, (g) utilize innovative and untested operational and business strategies, including new business partnerships and teams, and (h) otherwise have a weak financial condition or be experiencing financial difficulties that could result in insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the project. Further, there is often less publicly available information concerning these properties than for larger, more established businesses. These risks may adversely affect the performance of the properties and result in substantial losses. Furthermore, many of the risks associated with investing in real estate may be exacerbated in connection with properties in low-income areas. A downturn in the economy may impact the success of businesses in low-income areas and the operations of tenants in low-income areas. Businesses in which the Company has invested may experience declining revenues or file for bankruptcy. In addition, tenants in properties held by the Company may experience declining revenues, vacate the premises early, or file for bankruptcy, which could reduce a tenant’s ability to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges. Further, the Company’s ability to re-lease vacant spaces may be negatively impacted by the economic environment. As a result, a downturn in the economy could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s performance.

We may make investments in Distressed or Troubled Assets including Turnaround Situations.

The Company may make substantial investments in non-performing, underperforming, or other troubled assets, which involve a high degree of financial risk and are experiencing or are expected to experience severe financial difficulties, which may never be overcome and, as a result, may lead to a loss of some or all of the Company’s investment. These investments may have been originated by financial institutions that are insolvent, in serious financial difficulty, or no longer in existence; and, as a result, the standards by which these investments were originated, the recourse to the selling institution, or the standards by which these investments are being serviced or operated may be adversely affected. In addition, certain of the Company’s investments may become subject to compromise and/or discharge under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Entities that later file for relief as debtors in proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code may, in certain circumstances, be subject to litigation which could further impair value. Under certain circumstances, payments to the Company and distributions by the Company to Stockholders may be reclaimed in these proceedings if any payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance or a preferential payment or the equivalent under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Bankruptcy laws may delay the ability of the Company to realize on collateral for loan positions held by it or may adversely affect the priority of the loans through doctrines such as equitable subordination. Bankruptcy laws may also result in a restructuring of the debt without the Company’s consent under the “cramdown” provisions of the bankruptcy laws and may also result in a discharge of all or part of the debt without payment to the Company. In addition, a property or entity involved in a turnaround situation entails significant risks if the Company’s evaluation of the anticipated outcome of the situation should prove incorrect. Furthermore, an investment in a property or entity involved in a turnaround situation may be adversely impacted if the Company’s evaluation of the timing of the outcome should prove incorrect.

Any labor relations discord or work stoppage could negatively affect our investment returns.

Certain properties, companies or businesses which the Company may operate or in which the Company may invest may have unionized work forces or employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which could subject its activities and labor relations matters to complex laws and regulations relating unionized work forces. Moreover, a business’s operations and profitability could suffer if it experiences labor relations problems. Upon the expiration of any collective bargaining agreements, these properties, companies or businesses may be unable to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements on terms favorable to it, and its business operations at one or more of its facilities may be interrupted as a result of labor disputes or difficulties and delays in the process of renegotiating its collective bargaining agreements. A work stoppage at one or more of a business’s facilities could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Any problems may also adversely affect the Company’s ability to implement its investment objectives.

If any of our significant tenants were adversely affected by a material business downturn or were to become bankrupt or insolvent, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

General and regional economic conditions may adversely affect our major tenants and potential tenants in our markets. Our major tenants may experience a material business downturn, which could potentially result in a failure to make timely rental payments and/or a default under their leases. In many cases, through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions, we will have made substantial up-front investments in the applicable leases that we may not be able to recover. In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights and may also incur substantial costs to protect our investments.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or lease guarantor may adversely affect the income produced by our properties and may delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums altogether. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages that is limited in amount and which may only be paid to the extent that funds are available and in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims.

If any of our significant tenants were to become bankrupt or insolvent, suffer a downturn in their business, default under their leases, fail to renew their leases or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms, our results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.

Actions of any co-investment partners that we may have in the future could reduce the returns on co-investment investments and decrease our stockholders’ overall return.

We may enter into co-investments to acquire properties and other assets. We may also purchase and develop properties in co-investments or in partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment, including, for example, the following risks:

Any of the above might subject a property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and thus reduce our returns on that investment and the value of your investment.

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce our net income and the cash available for dividends to our stockholders.

Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. We could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials and other health and safety-related concerns.

Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Activities of our tenants, the condition of properties at the time we buy them, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties.

The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to effectively manage, insure, bond over, or remediate these substances, may hinder our ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to pay dividends and may reduce the value of your investment.

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us from entering into leases with prospective tenants that may be impacted by such laws. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances and governments may seek recovery for natural resource damage. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to you.

We expect that all of our properties will be subject to Phase I environmental assessments at the time they are acquired; however, such assessments may not provide complete environmental histories due, for example, to limited available information about prior operations at the properties or other gaps in information at the time we acquire the property. A Phase I environmental assessment is an initial environmental investigation to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with the current and past uses of a given property. If any of our properties were found to contain hazardous or toxic substances after our acquisition, the value of our investment could decrease below the amount paid for such investment.

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for dividends.

Our properties may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds used for ADA compliance will reduce our net income and the amount of cash available for dividends to you.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our cash flows and the return on our stockholders’ investment.

There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pandemics, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that commercial property owners purchase coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, if at all, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our properties. In such instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured or under insured loss, which may reduce the value of your investment. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured or under insured property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower dividends to you.

Hedging against interest rate exposure may adversely affect our earnings, limit our gains or result in losses, which could adversely affect cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We may enter into interest rate swap agreements or pursue other interest rate hedging strategies. Our hedging activity will vary in scope based on the level of interest rates, the type and expected duration of portfolio investments held, and other changing market conditions. Interest rate hedging may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:

Any hedging activity we engage in may adversely affect our earnings, which could adversely affect cash available for distribution to our stockholders. Therefore, while we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged or liabilities being hedged may vary materially. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate, inflation and/or currency risks will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges (1) interest rate risk on liabilities incurred to carry or acquire real estate, (2) risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the REIT 75% or 95% gross income tests or (3) certain other offsetting positions, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute nonqualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

Many of our investments are illiquid and we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

Many factors that are beyond our control affect the real estate market and could affect our ability to sell properties and other investments for the price, on the terms or within the time frame that we desire. These factors include general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we have a limited ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Further, before we can sell a property on the terms we want, it may be necessary to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements. However, we can give no assurance that we will have the funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. As a result, we expect many of our investments will be illiquid, and if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded our investments and our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Declines in the market values of our investments may adversely affect periodic reported results of operations and credit availability, which may reduce earnings and, in turn, cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Some of our assets will be classified for accounting purposes as “available-for-sale.” These investments are carried at estimated fair value and temporary changes in the market values of those assets will be directly charged or credited to stockholders’ equity without impacting net income on the income statement. Moreover, if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an available-for-sale security falls below its amortized value and is not temporary, we will recognize a loss on that security on the income statement, which will reduce our earnings in the period recognized.

A decline in the market value of our assets may adversely affect us particularly in instances where we have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. If the market value of those assets declines, the lender may require us to post additional collateral to support the loan. If we were unable to post the additional collateral, we may have to sell assets at a time when we might not otherwise choose to do so. A reduction in credit available may reduce our earnings and, in turn, cash available for distribution to stockholders.

Further, credit facility providers may require us to maintain a certain amount of cash reserves or to set aside unlevered assets sufficient to maintain a specified liquidity position, which would allow us to satisfy our collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return on equity. In the event that we are unable to meet these contractual obligations, our financial condition could deteriorate rapidly.

Market values of our investments may decline for a number of reasons, such as changes in prevailing market capitalization rates, increases in market vacancy, or decreases in market rents.

If we sell a property by providing financing to the purchaser, we will bear the risk of default by the purchaser, which could delay or reduce the dividends available to our stockholders.

If we decide to sell any of our properties, we intend to use our best efforts to sell them for cash; however, in some instances, we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to a purchaser, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could reduce our cash dividends to stockholders. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of the proceeds of the sale to our stockholders, or the reinvestment of the proceeds in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory note or other property we may accept upon a sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed.

Risks Related to this Offering and Our Corporate Structure

Our shares will be fully tradable but no public trading market for our shares currently exists so it may be difficult for you to sell your shares and, if you are able to sell your shares, you may have to sell them at a substantial discount to the offering price.

We are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by any specific date. In addition, our charter does not require us to list our shares for trading on a securities exchange by a specified date or at all. There is currently no public market for our shares and there may never be. Any subsequent sale of shares of our common stock must comply with applicable state and federal securities laws. Our charter prohibits the ownership of more than 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares of common stock, or 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding capital stock, unless exempted by our Board of Directors, which may inhibit large investors from desiring to purchase your shares. In addition, our charter contains certain restrictions on the beneficial ownership of shares in order to avoid being deemed “plan assets” under Title I of ERISA. See “Description of Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law, our Charter and Bylaws—Restrictions on Ownership of Shares.” Moreover, our stockholder redemption plan includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares to us, and we may amend, suspend, or terminate our stockholder redemption plan. However, in the event that we amend, suspend or terminate our stockholder redemption plan, we will file an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate, to disclose such event. We describe the restrictions of our stockholder redemption plan in detail under “Stockholder Redemption Plan.” As a result of the foregoing, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares promptly or at all. If you are able to sell your shares, you may have to sell them at a discount to their offering price. It is also likely that your shares will not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. You should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment because of the illiquid nature of the shares.

The ownership limits that apply to REITs, as prescribed by the Code and by our charter, limits the number of shares a person may own, which may inhibit market activity in shares of our common stock and restrict our business combination opportunities.

In order for us to qualify as a REIT, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year after the first year for which we elect to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year (other than the first taxable year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT). Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. To help us comply with the REIT ownership requirements of the Code, our charter prohibits a person from directly, beneficially or constructively owning more than 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares of common stock, or 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding capital stock, unless exempted by our Board of Directors. These 9.8% ownership limitations will apply as of the first date of the second taxable year for which we elect to be treated as a REIT. However, our charter will also prohibit any actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of our shares that causes us to fail to qualify as a REIT (including any ownership that would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such) and such ownership limitation shall not be waived. In addition, our charter will prohibit a person from owning actually or constructively shares of our outstanding capital stock if such ownership would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such. Our Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, subject to such conditions as it may determine and the receipt of certain representations and undertakings, prospectively or retroactively, waive the 9.8% ownership limits or establish a different limit on ownership, or excepted holder limit, for a particular stockholder if the stockholder’s ownership in excess of the ownership limit would not result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT. These restrictions may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.

Our charter permits our Board of Directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of our common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other dividends, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with priority as to dividends and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our common stock. In connection with the foregoing, following completion of this offering, to the extent necessary to assist us in obtaining a sufficient number of stockholders to meet certain of the qualification requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code, we may undertake to issue and sell up to approximately 125 shares of a new series of preferred stock in a private placement to up to approximately 125 investors who qualify as “accredited investors” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). The preferred stock is expected to be perpetual, pay an annual market dividend for securities of this type and be redeemable by us at a premium to the aggregate liquidation value. For example, if we issue 125 shares of preferred stock with a liquidation price of $1,000 per share and an annual dividend of 12.5%, we would raise additional capital of $125,000 and be required to be pay or set aside for payment, in the aggregate, approximately $15,625 annually, before any distributions on shares of our common stock could be made.

Rapid changes in the values of our assets may make it more difficult for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT or our exception from the definition of an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

If the market value or income potential of our qualifying real estate assets changes as compared to the market value or income potential of our non-qualifying assets, or if the market value or income potential of our assets that are considered “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act or REIT qualification tests changes as compared to the market value or income potential of our assets that are not considered “real estate-related assets” under the Investment Company Act or REIT qualification tests, whether as a result of increased interest rates, prepayment rates or other factors, we may need to modify our investment portfolio in order to maintain our REIT qualification or exception from the definition of an investment company. If the decline in asset values or income occurs quickly, this may be especially difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish. This difficulty may be exacerbated by the illiquid nature of many of the assets that we may own. We may have to make investment decisions that we otherwise would not make absent REIT and Investment Company Act considerations.

Our stockholders will have limited voting rights and will not have control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.

Our Manager and/or our Board of Directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and dividends. Our Manager and/or our Board of Directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the stockholders. Under Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders have a right to vote only on limited matters. Our Manager’s and/or our Board of Directors’ broad discretion in setting policies and our stockholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.

The Board is Authorized to Revoke the Company’s REIT Election Without Stockholder Approval

The Charter authorizes the Board to revoke or otherwise terminate the Company’s REIT election, without the approval of Stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests to qualify as a REIT. The Board has duties to the Company and could only cause such changes in the Company’s tax treatment if it determines in good faith that the changes are in the best interest of the Company. In this event, the Company would become subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax on the Company’s taxable income and the Company would no longer be required to distribute most of the Company’s net income to Stockholders, which may cause a reduction in the total return to Stockholders.

Our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our stockholder redemption plan and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares under the redemption plan, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares.

Our stockholder redemption plan includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares. You must hold your shares for at least one year in order to participate in the stockholder redemption plan, except for redemptions sought upon a stockholder’s death or complete disability (as defined in the redemption plan). We limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to the stockholder redemption plan in any calendar year to 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year (or 1.25% per quarter, with excess capacity carried over to later quarters in the calendar year). We will not redeem shares if our Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the redemption price determined in accordance with the terms of the stockholder redemption plan exceeds the then current fair market value of the shares to be redeemed. Further, we have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on dividends under Maryland law, which prohibits dividends that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. These limits may prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any year.

Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate our stockholder redemption plan at any time without prior notice, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed stockholders, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason. Our limits on ownership of our shares also may require us to decline redemption requests that would cause other stockholders to exceed such ownership limits. In addition, in order to comply with certain of the distribution requirements applicable to REITs we will decline to honor any redemption request that we believe is a “dividend equivalent” redemption as discussed in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders—Redemption or Repurchase by Us.” However, in the event that we amend, suspend or terminate our redemption plan, we will file an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate, to disclose such amendment. See “Stockholder Redemption Plan” for more information about the redemption plan. The restrictions of our stockholder redemption plan will severely limit your ability to sell your shares should you require liquidity and limit your ability to recover the value you invest in our common stock.

The offering price of our shares was not established in reliance on a valuation of our assets and liabilities; the actual value of your investment may be substantially less than what you pay.

We established the offering price of our shares on an arbitrary basis. The selling price of our shares bears no relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing shares. The per share purchase price will be adjusted every fiscal quarter as of January 1^st, April 1^st, July 1^st and October 1^st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter) and will equal our net asset value, or NAV, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter on a fully diluted basis (NAV per share).

Our NAV per share will be calculated by our Manager, and approved by our Board of Directors at the end of each fiscal quarter on a fully diluted basis using a process that reflects several components, including (1) estimated values of each of our commercial real estate assets and investments, including related liabilities, based upon (a) market capitalization rates, comparable sales information, interest rates, net operating income, and (b) in certain instances individual appraisal reports of the underlying real estate provided by an independent valuation expert, (2) the price of liquid assets for which third party market quotes are available, (3) accruals of our periodic dividends and (4) estimated accruals of our operating revenues and expenses. In instances where we determine that an independent appraisal of the real estate asset is necessary, including, but not limited to, instances where our Manager is unsure of its ability on its own to accurately determine the estimated values of our commercial real estate assets and investments, or instances where third party market values for comparable properties are either nonexistent or extremely inconsistent, we may engage an appraiser that has expertise in appraising commercial real estate assets, to act as our independent valuation expert. The independent valuation expert will not be responsible for, or prepare, our NAV per share. However, we may hire a third party to calculate, or assist with calculating, the NAV calculation. The use of different judgments or assumptions would likely result in different estimates of the value of our real estate assets. Moreover, although we evaluate and provide our NAV per share on a quarterly basis, our NAV per share may fluctuate daily, so that the NAV per share in effect for any fiscal quarter may not reflect the precise amount that might be paid for your shares in a market transaction. Further, our published NAV per share may not fully reflect certain material events to the extent that they are not known or their financial impact on our portfolio is not immediately quantifiable. Any resulting potential disparity in our NAV per share may be in favor of either stockholders who redeem their shares, or stockholders who buy new shares, or existing stockholders. Note, in addition, that the determination of our NAV is not based on, nor intended to comply with, fair value standards under GAAP and our NAV may not be indicative of the price that we would receive for our assets at current market conditions. See “Plan of Operation—Valuation Policies.”

Our stockholders’ interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of their investment.

Potential investors in this offering will not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Our charter authorizes us to issue 10,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 9,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 1,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. We may only issue up to $50,000,000 in shares of common stock pursuant to this offering in any 12-month period (although we may raise capital in other ways). Our Board of Directors may increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock without stockholder approval. After your purchase in this offering, our Board of Directors may elect to (i) sell additional shares in this or future offerings; (ii) issue equity interests in private offerings; or (iii) otherwise issue additional shares of our capital stock. To the extent we issue additional equity interests after your purchase in this offering your percentage ownership interest in us would be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings, the use of the proceeds and the value of our real estate investments, you may also experience dilution in the book value and fair value of your shares and in the earnings and dividends per share.

Although we will not currently be afforded the protection of the Maryland General Corporation Law relating to deterring or defending hostile takeovers, our Board of Directors could opt into these provisions of Maryland law in the future, which may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and may prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium price for their shares in connection with a business combination.

Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and certain interested stockholders or affiliates of interested stockholders are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. Also under Maryland law, control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares owned by the acquirer, an officer of the corporation, or an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation are excluded from the vote on whether to accord voting rights to the control shares. Should our Board of Directors opt into these provisions of Maryland law, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. Similarly, provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland General Corporation Law could provide similar anti-takeover protection. For more information about the business combination, control share acquisition and Subtitle 8 provisions of Maryland law, see “Description of Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law, Our Charter and Bylaws —Business Combinations” and “Description of Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law, Our Charter and Bylaws —Control Share Acquisitions.”

Our charter includes an anti-takeover provision that may discourage a stockholder from launching a tender offer for our shares.

Our charter provides that any tender offer made by a stockholder, including any “mini-tender” offer, must comply with most provisions of Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act. The offering stockholder must provide our company notice of such tender offer at least 10 business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offering stockholder does not comply with these requirements, our company will have the right to redeem that stockholder’s shares and any shares acquired in such tender offer. In addition, the noncomplying stockholder will be responsible for all of our company’s expenses in connection with that stockholder’s noncompliance. This provision of our charter may discourage a stockholder from initiating a tender offer for our shares and prevent you from receiving a premium price for your shares in such a transaction.

The Company’s bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Maryland (or in some cases, other federal courts in Maryland) as the sole and exclusive forum for certain disputes between the Company and its stockholders, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for certain proceedings relating to the Company.

The Company’s bylaws provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Maryland (or, if that courts does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

The portion of our forum selection bylaw designating the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Maryland as the exclusive forum for certain claims would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, as such claims fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts, however the portion of our forum selection bylaw designating the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in Baltimore, Maryland would apply to any such claims. Our forum selection bylaw would apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act. Our forum selection bylaw does not relieve us of our duties to comply with, and our stockholders cannot waive our compliance with, the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Moreover, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce our forum selection bylaw, with respect to claims brought under the federal securities laws or otherwise. This forum selection bylaw may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or cost-efficient for disputes with the Company, or any of its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

The Company may not achieve the intended benefits of having a forum selection bylaw if it is found to be unenforceable.

The Company’s bylaws include a forum selection bylaw as described above. However, the enforceability of similar forum selection bylaws in other companies’ bylaws or similar governing documents has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that in connection with any action a court could find the forum selection bylaw contained in the Company’s bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. If a court were to find the forum selection bylaw contained in the Company’s bylaws to be inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Breaches of our data security could materially harm us, including our business, financial performance and reputation.

We collect and retain certain personal information provided by our actual and prospective investors during the subscription process, as well as our tenants and employees. Security measures we have implemented to protect the confidentiality of this information and periodically review and improve our security measures may not prevent unauthorized access to this information. Any breach of our data security measures and loss of this information may result in legal liability and costs (including damages and penalties), as well as damage to our reputation, that could materially and adversely affect us, including our business and financial performance.

Risks Related to Compliance and Regulation

We are offering shares of our common stock pursuant to recent amendments to Regulation A promulgated pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers will make shares of our common stock less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will be subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, which may make shares of our common stock less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering, which may make an investment in shares of our common stock less attractive to investors who are accustomed to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting. In addition, given the relative lack of regulatory precedence regarding the recent amendments to Regulation A, there is a significant amount of regulatory uncertainty in regards to how the SEC or the individual state securities regulators will regulate both the offer and sale of our securities, as well as any ongoing compliance that we may be subject to. If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements, or regulatory uncertainty regarding Regulation A, reduces the attractiveness of shares of our common stock, we may be unable to raise the necessary funds necessary to develop a diversified portfolio of real estate investments, which could severely affect the value of shares of our common stock.

Our use of Form 1-A and our reliance on Regulation A for this offering may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it, as compared to if we were conducting a traditional initial public offering on Form S-11.

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us under Regulation A and because we are only permitted to raise up to $50,000,000 in any 12 month period under Regulation A (although we may raise capital in other ways), we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under part F/S of Regulation A

We intend to elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under part F/S of Regulation A, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

Currently, we are required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for reporting companies that qualify as “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.

If we become a public reporting company in the future, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:

If we become a public reporting company in the future, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions.

As a Tier 2 issuer, we will not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

Laws intended to prohibit money laundering may require our Sponsor to disclose investor information to regulatory authorities.

The Uniting and Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 requires that financial institutions establish and maintain compliance programs to guard against money laundering activities, and requires the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury (“Treasury”) to prescribe regulations in connection with anti-money laundering policies of financial institutions. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), an agency of the Treasury, has announced that it is likely that such regulations would subject certain pooled investment vehicles to enact anti-money laundering policies. It is possible that there could be promulgated legislation or regulations that would require our Manager or its service providers to share information with governmental authorities with respect to prospective investors in connection with the establishment of anti-money laundering procedures. Such legislation and/or regulations could require us to implement additional restrictions on the transfer of shares of our common stock to comply with such legislation and/or regulations. We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of prospective stockholders and the source of the payment of subscription monies, or as is necessary to comply with any customer identification programs required by FinCEN and/or the SEC. In the event of delay or failure by a prospective stockholder to produce any information required for verification purposes, an application for, or transfer of, shares of our common stock may be refused. We will not have the ability to reject a transfer of shares of our common stock where all necessary information is provided and any other applicable transfer requirements, including those imposed under the transfer provisions of our charter, are satisfied.

Non-United States investors may be subject to FIRPTA on the sale of shares of our common stock if we are unable to qualify as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity.”

Except with respect to a “qualified foreign pension plan” or a non-United States person that is a “qualified stockholder”, a non-United States person disposing of a United States real property interest, including shares of a United States corporation whose assets consist principally of United States real property interests, is generally subject to a tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Trust Act, or FIRPTA, on the gain recognized on the disposition of such interest. FIRPTA does not apply, however, to the disposition of shares in a REIT if the REIT is a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity.” A REIT is a domestically controlled qualified investment entity if, at all times during a specified testing period (the continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, the entire period of the REIT’s existence), less than 50% in value of its shares is held directly or indirectly by non-United States holders. We cannot assure you that we will qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by a non-United States investor that is not a “qualified foreign pension plan” or a “qualified stockholder” on a sale of our common stock would be subject to FIRPTA unless our common stock was regularly traded on an established securities market and the non-United States investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 10% of the value of our outstanding common stock.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

There are conflicts of interest between us, our Manager and its affiliates.

Our executive officers, Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski, are executive officers of our Manager. Prevailing market rates are determined by our Manager based on industry standards and expectations of what our Manager would be able to negotiate with a third party on an arm’s length basis. All of the agreements and arrangements between us and our Manager or its affiliates, including those relating to compensation, are not the result of arm’s length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party. Some of the conflicts inherent in our transactions with our Manager and its affiliates, and the limitations on such parties adopted to address these conflicts, are described below. We, our Manager and their affiliates will try to balance our interests with their own. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than us, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on dividends to stockholders and the value of shares of our common stock. We have adopted a conflicts of interest policy and certain conflicts will be reviewed by the Independent Committee (defined below). See “Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions—Certain Conflict Resolution Measures—Independent Committee” and “Our Policies Relating to Conflicts of Interest”.

The interests of our Manager, the principals and its other affiliates may conflict with your interests.

The management agreement provides our Manager with broad powers and authority which may result in one or more conflicts of interest between your interests and those of our Manager, the principals and its other affiliates. This risk is increased by our Manager being controlled by Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski, who are expected to sponsor and participate, directly or indirectly, in other offerings by our Sponsor and its affiliates. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of operating partnership units (“OP Units”), which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.

Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and the Operating Partnership or any partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and our Manager have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, we, as the general partner in our Operating Partnership, have fiduciary duties and obligations to the Operating Partnership and its limited partners under Delaware law and the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. Our fiduciary duties and obligations as general partner to the Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and our Manager to our company.

As our Sponsor establishes additional real estate funds and other investment vehicles in the future, there may be conflicts of interests among the various other investment vehicles, which may result in opportunities that would otherwise benefit us being allocated to the other offerings.

Our Sponsor in the future expects to establish and sponsor additional real estate funds, as well as other potential investment vehicles (including funds, REITs and separate accounts). Any future investment vehicles may, have investment criteria similar to ours. If a sale, financing, investment or other business opportunity would be suitable for more than one fund or other investment vehicle, our Manager’s investment committee will allocate it according to the policies and procedures adopted by our Manager. Any allocation of this type may involve the consideration of a number of factors that our Manager may determine to be relevant. Except under any policies that may be adopted by our Manager or our Sponsor in the future, no other investment vehicle sponsored by our Sponsor will have any duty, responsibility or obligation to refrain from:

In addition, any decisions by our Sponsor or Manager to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one other investment vehicle more than another investment vehicle or limit or impair the ability of any other investment vehicle to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one other investment vehicle that such arrangements or agreements include or not include any other investment vehicle. Any of these decisions may benefit one other investment vehicle more than another investment vehicle.

Our Manager will face a conflict of interest because the management fee it will receive for services performed will be based on the Operating Partnership’s NAV, which our Manager is ultimately responsible for determining.

We will pay our Manager a quarterly asset management fee equal to an annualized rate of 0.75%, which will be based on our NAV at the end of each fiscal quarter. We will pay our Manager this management fee regardless of the performance of our portfolio. Our Manager’s entitlement to a management fee, which is not based upon performance metrics or goals, might reduce its incentive to devote its time and effort to seeking investments that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for our portfolio. This in turn could hurt both our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders and the market price of our common stock. Further, the management fee is calculated based on the Operating Partnership’s NAV, which the Manager is ultimately responsible for determining. The calculation of our NAV includes certain subjective judgments with respect to estimating, for example, the value of our portfolio and our accrued expenses, net portfolio income and liabilities, and therefore, our NAV may not correspond to realizable value upon a sale of those assets. Our Manager may benefit by us retaining ownership of our assets at times when our stockholders may be better served by the sale or disposition of our assets in order to avoid a reduction in our NAV. If our NAV is calculated in a way that is not reflective of our actual NAV, then the purchase price of shares of our common stock or the price paid for the repurchase of your shares of common stock on a given date may not accurately reflect the value of our portfolio, and your shares may be worth less than the purchase price or more than the repurchase price.

Risks Related to Sources of Financing and Hedging

We may incur significant debt, which may subject us to increased risk of loss and may reduce cash available for dividends to our stockholders.

Subject to market conditions and availability, we may incur significant debt through bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), repurchase agreements, warehouse facilities and structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances and derivative instruments, in addition to transaction or asset specific funding arrangements. The percentage of leverage we employ will vary depending on our available capital, our ability to obtain and access financing arrangements with lenders, debt restrictions contained in those financing arrangements and the lenders’ and rating agencies’ estimate of the stability of our investment portfolio’s cash flow. Our targeted aggregate property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the REIT level or on assets under development or renovation, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized properties, is between 50-70% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, constructing and/or renovating our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion. Incurring substantial debt could subject us to many risks that, if realized, would materially and adversely affect us, including the risk that:

Any lending facilities will likely impose restrictive covenants.

Any lending facilities which we enter would be expected to contain customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things, may affect our ability to incur additional debt, make certain investments or acquisitions, reduce liquidity below certain levels, pay dividends to our stockholders, redeem debt or equity securities and impact our flexibility to determine our operating policies and investment strategies. For example, such loan documents may contain negative covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to repurchase our common stock, distribute more than a certain amount of our net income or funds from operations to our stockholders, employ leverage beyond certain amounts, sell assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, grant liens, and enter into transactions with affiliates (including amending the management agreement with our Manager in a material respect). If we fail to meet or satisfy any such covenants, we would likely be in default under these agreements, and the lenders could elect to declare outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral and enforce their interests against existing collateral. We could also become subject to cross-default and acceleration rights and, with respect to collateralized debt, the posting of additional collateral and foreclosure rights upon default. Further, such restrictions could also make it difficult for us to satisfy the qualification requirements necessary to maintain our status as a REIT.

Interest rate fluctuations could increase our financing costs and reduce our ability to generate income on our investments, each of which could lead to a significant decrease in our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments.

Our primary interest rate exposures will relate to the yield on our investments and the financing cost of our debt, as well as our interest rate derivatives that we utilize for hedging purposes. Changes in interest rates will affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the income we earn on our investments and the interest expense we incur in financing these investments. Interest rate fluctuations resulting in our interest expense exceeding income would result in operating losses for us. Changes in the level of interest rates also may affect our ability to invest in investments, the value of our investments and our ability to realize gains from the disposition of assets.

To the extent that our financing costs will be determined by reference to floating rates, such as LIBOR or a Treasury index, plus a margin, the amount of such costs will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, (a) for collateralized debt, the value and liquidity of the collateral, and for non-collateralized debt, our credit, (b) the level and movement of interest rates, and (c) general market conditions and liquidity. In a period of rising interest rates, our interest expense on floating rate debt would increase, while any income we earn may not compensate for such increase in interest expense.

Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income earned on our investments, net of credit losses, and our financing costs. For any period during which our investments are not match-funded, the income earned on such investments may respond more slowly to interest rate fluctuations than the cost of our borrowings. Consequently, changes in interest rates, particularly short-term interest rates, may immediately and significantly decrease our results of operations and cash flows and the market value of our investments.

Any bank credit facilities and repurchase agreements that we may use in the future to finance our assets may require us to provide additional collateral or pay down debt.

We may utilize bank credit facilities or repurchase agreements (including term loans and revolving facilities) and/or guarantee arrangements to finance our assets if they become available on acceptable terms. Such financing arrangements, including any guarantees, would involve the risk that the market value of any investments pledged by us to the provider of the bank credit facility or repurchase agreement counterparty may decline in value, in which case the lender may require us to provide additional collateral or to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced. We may not have the funds available to repay our debt at that time, which would likely result in defaults unless we are able to raise the funds from alternative sources, which we may not be able to achieve on favorable terms or at all. Posting additional collateral would reduce our liquidity and limit our ability to leverage our assets. If we cannot meet these requirements, the lender could accelerate our indebtedness or enforce our guarantee, increase the interest rate on advanced funds and terminate our ability to borrow funds from it, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to implement our investment strategy. In addition, if the lender files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, our loans and guarantees may become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, thus depriving us, at least temporarily, of the benefit of these assets. Such an event could restrict our access to bank credit facilities and increase our cost of capital. The providers of bank credit facilities and repurchase agreement financing may also require us to maintain a certain amount of cash or set aside assets sufficient to maintain a specified liquidity position that would allow us to satisfy our collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return on assets. If we are unable to meet these collateral obligations, our financial condition and prospects could deteriorate rapidly.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional bank credit facilities or repurchase agreements on favorable terms, or at all.

We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties.

When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one real property may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected.

If we enter into financing arrangements involving balloon payment obligations, it may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Some of our financing arrangements may require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain replacement financing or our ability to sell particular properties. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the particular property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. Such a refinancing would be dependent upon interest rates and lenders’ policies at the time of refinancing, economic conditions in general and the value of the underlying properties in particular. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets.

Our access to sources of financing may be limited and thus our ability to grow our business and to maximize our returns may be adversely affected.

Subject to market conditions and availability, we may incur significant debt through bank credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), repurchase agreements, warehouse facilities and structured financing arrangements, public and private debt issuances and derivative instruments, in addition to transaction or asset specific funding arrangements. We may also issue additional debt or equity securities to fund our growth.

Our access to sources of financing will depend upon a number of factors, over which we have little or no control, including:

We will need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments. Unfavorable economic or capital market conditions may increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or could result in a decision by our potential lenders not to extend credit. An inability to successfully access the capital markets could limit our ability to grow our business and fully execute our business strategy and could decrease our earnings, if any. In addition, uncertainty in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect one or more private lenders and could cause one or more of our private lenders to be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing or to increase the costs of that financing. In addition, if regulatory capital requirements imposed on our private lenders change, they may be required to limit, or increase the cost of, financing they provide to us. In general, this could potentially increase our financing costs and reduce our liquidity or require us to sell assets at an inopportune time or price. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain any such financing on favorable terms or at all.

Hedging instruments often are not traded on regulated exchanges or guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house, and involve risks and costs that could result in material losses.

The cost of using hedging instruments increases as the period covered by the instrument increases and during periods of rising and volatile interest rates, we may increase our hedging activity and thus increase our hedging costs during periods when interest rates are volatile or rising and hedging costs have increased. In addition, hedging instruments involve risk since they often are not traded on regulated exchanges or guaranteed by an exchange or its clearing house. Consequently, there are no requirements with respect to record keeping, financial responsibility or segregation of customer funds and positions. Furthermore, the enforceability of agreements underlying hedging transactions may depend on compliance with applicable statutory and commodity and other regulatory requirements and, depending on the identity of the counterparty, applicable international requirements. The business failure of a hedging counterparty with whom we enter into a hedging transaction will most likely result in its default. Default by a party with whom we enter into a hedging transaction may result in the loss of unrealized profits and force us to cover our commitments, if any, at the then current market price.

Although generally we will seek to reserve the right to terminate our hedging positions, it may not always be possible to dispose of or close out a hedging position without the consent of the hedging counterparty and we may not be able to enter into an offsetting contract in order to cover our risk. We cannot assure you that a liquid secondary market will exist for hedging instruments purchased or sold, and we may be required to maintain a position until exercise or expiration, which could result in significant losses.

Taxation Risks

Your investment has various tax risks.

Although the provisions of the Code generally relevant to an investment in shares of our common stock are described in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” we urge you to consult your tax advisor concerning the effects of United States federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws to you with regard to an investment in shares of our common stock.

REITs

Failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution and would adversely affect the timing, amount, and character of dividends to stockholders.

Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, dividends of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets, and other tests imposed by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, dividends to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends-paid deduction and we would no longer be required to pay dividends. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable taxes. For a discussion of the REIT qualification tests and other considerations relating to our election to be taxed as a REIT, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes on our income or property. For example:

We intend to pay dividends to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code.

REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan or our liquidity and may force us to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.

In order to maintain our REIT status and to meet the REIT distribution requirements, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis or sell assets, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings or sales. In addition, we may need to reserve cash (including proceeds from this offering) to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, even though there are attractive investment opportunities that may be available. To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our net taxable income each year, excluding capital gains. In addition, we will be subject to corporate income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income including any net capital gain. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Code for REITs and to minimize or eliminate our corporate income tax obligation to the extent consistent with our business objectives. Our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions, for example as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt service or amortization payments (including, for example, where a borrower defers the payment of interest in cash pursuant to a contractual right or otherwise). The insufficiency of our cash flows to cover our distribution requirements could have an adverse impact on our ability to raise short- and long-term debt or sell equity securities in order to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. To address and/or mitigate some of these issues, we may make taxable distributions that are in part paid in cash and in part paid in our common stock. In such cases our stockholders may have tax liabilities from such distributions in excess of the cash they receive. The treatment of such taxable share distributions is not clear, and it is possible the taxable share distribution will not count towards our distribution requirement, in which case adverse consequences could apply.

Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for the reduced tax rates on dividend income from regular corporations, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

The maximum regular U.S. federal income tax rate for certain qualified dividends payable to U.S. holders of U.S. corporate stock that are individuals, is currently 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for the reduced rates and therefore are subject to regular U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income of a noncorporate U.S. holder (currently at a maximum rate of 37.0%). Such dividends are also not eligible for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporations with respect to dividends from U.S. corporations. Although the reduced U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to dividend income from regular corporate dividends does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends paid by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our common stock.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, which may delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and reduce our stockholders’ overall return.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy certain tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets, and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to pay dividends to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of our stockholders’ investment.

If we fail to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from selling our common stock in real estate assets within one year from the receipt of the proceeds, we could fail to qualify as a REIT.

Temporary investment of the net proceeds from sales of our common stock in short-term securities and income from such investment generally will allow us to satisfy various REIT income and asset requirements, but only during the one-year period beginning on the date we receive the net proceeds. If we are unable to invest a sufficient amount of the net proceeds from sales of our common stock in qualifying real estate assets within such one-year period, we could fail to satisfy one or more of the gross income or asset tests and/or we could be limited to investing all or a portion of any remaining funds in cash or cash equivalents. If we fail to satisfy any such income or asset test, unless we are entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, we could fail to qualify as a REIT. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Our ability to provide certain services to our tenants may be limited by the REIT rules, or may have to be provided through a taxable REIT subsidiary.

As a REIT, we generally cannot hold interests in rental property where tenants receive services other than services that are customarily provided by landlords, nor can we derive income from a third party that provides such services. If services to tenants at properties in which we hold an interest are limited to customary services, those properties may be disadvantaged as compared to other properties that can be operated without the same restrictions. However, we can provide such non-customary services to tenants or share in the revenue from such services if we do so through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), though income earned through the TRS will be subject to corporate income taxes.

If we form a TRS, our overall tax liability could increase.

Any TRS we form will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax on its taxable income. Accordingly, although our ownership of any TRSs may allow us to participate in the operating income from certain activities that we could not participate in, that operating income will be fully subject to income tax. The after-tax net income of any TRS would be available for distribution to us, however any dividends received by us from our domestic TRSs will only be qualifying income for the 95% REIT income test, not the 75% REIT income test.

Although our use of TRSs may partially mitigate the impact of meeting certain requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT, there are limits on our ability to own and engage in transactions with TRSs, and a failure to comply with such limits would jeopardize our REIT qualification and may result in the application of a 100% excise tax.

A REIT may own up to 100% of the stock or securities of one or more TRSs. A TRS may hold assets and earn income that would not be qualifying assets or income if held or earned directly by a REIT. Both the subsidiary and the REIT must jointly elect to treat the subsidiary as a TRS. A corporation of which a TRS directly or indirectly owns more than 35% of the voting power or value of the stock will automatically be treated as a TRS. Overall, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities of one or more TRSs. In addition, the rules limit the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The rules also impose a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We may jointly elect with one or more subsidiaries for those subsidiaries to be treated as TRSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These TRSs will pay U.S. federal, state and local income tax on their taxable income, and their after-tax net income will be available for distribution to us but is not required to be distributed to us. We will monitor the value of our respective investments in any TRSs we may form for the purpose of ensuring compliance with TRS ownership limitations and intend to structure our transactions with any such TRSs on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.

You may be restricted from acquiring, transferring or redeeming certain amounts of our common stock.

In order to maintain our REIT qualification, among other requirements, no more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code to include certain kinds of entities, during the last half of any taxable year, other than the first year for which a REIT election is made. To assist us in qualifying as a REIT, our charter contains an aggregate share ownership limit and a common stock ownership limit. Generally, any of our shares owned by affiliated owners will be added together for purposes of the aggregate share ownership limit, and any common stock owned by affiliated owners will be added together for purposes of the common stock ownership limit. In addition, our charter prohibits a person from owning actually or constructively shares of our outstanding capital stock if such ownership would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as rents from real property for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such.

If anyone attempts to transfer or own shares in a way that would violate the aggregate share ownership limit or the common stock ownership limit or results in ownership that would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as rents from real property for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such, or would prevent us from continuing to qualify as a REIT, unless such ownership limits have been waived by our Manager, those shares instead will be deemed transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary and will be either redeemed by us or sold to a person whose ownership of the shares will not violate the aggregate share ownership limit or the common stock ownership limit and will not prevent us from qualifying as a REIT. If this transfer to a trust fails to prevent such a violation or our disqualification as a REIT, then the initial intended transfer or ownership will be null and void from the outset. Anyone who acquires or owns shares in violation of the aggregate share ownership limit or the common stock ownership limit, unless such ownership limit or limits have been waived by our Manager, or the other restrictions on transfer or ownership in our charter, bears the risk of a financial loss when the shares are redeemed or sold, if the NAV of our shares falls between the date of purchase and the date of redemption or sale.

Our limits on ownership of our shares also may require us to decline redemption requests that would cause other stockholders to exceed such ownership limits or to the extent we determine is necessary to preserve our status as a REIT. In addition, in order to comply with certain of the distribution requirements applicable to REITs we will decline to honor any redemption request that we believe is a “dividend equivalent” redemption as discussed in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders—Redemption or Repurchase by Us.”

In addition, our charter provides that, prior to the first date on which any class or series of shares of our capital stock constitutes “publicly-offered securities” (as defined in the Plan Assets Regulation), “benefit plan investors” may not hold, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the value of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. If benefit plan investors exceed this 25% limit, we may redeem their interests at a price equal to the then current NAV per share or transfer their interests to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary. See “ERISA Considerations—The 25% Limit” for more information.

Furthermore, our charter provides that, in the event we determine in our discretion that there is a material likelihood that we would be a fiduciary under applicable law with respect to an investor that is subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (e.g., an IRA), we have the authority to redeem such investor’s interests at a price equal to the then current NAV per share.

The tax on prohibited transactions will limit our ability to engage in transactions that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of assets, other than foreclosure property, deemed held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business (subject to a safe harbor under the Code for certain sales). It may be possible to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax by conducting certain activities through TRSs. However, to the extent that we engage in such activities through TRSs, the income associated with such activities may be subject to full corporate income tax.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively.

The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge our assets and operations. Under these provisions, any income that we generate from transactions intended to hedge our interest rate, inflation and/or currency risks will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests if the instrument hedges (i) interest rate risk on liabilities incurred to carry or acquire real estate, (ii) risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the REIT 75% or 95% gross income tests or (iii) certain other offsetting positions, and such instrument is properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations. Income from hedging transactions that do not meet these requirements will generally constitute nonqualifying income for purposes of both the REIT 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our use of hedging techniques that might otherwise be advantageous, which could result in greater risks associated with interest rate or other changes than we would otherwise incur.

The treatment of an investment in preferred equity could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT.

We may make investments in preferred equity in an entity that directly or indirectly owns real property. Although economically comparable to investments in mezzanine loans in many cases, investments in preferred equity will be treated differently for tax purposes. If the issuer of the preferred equity is taxed as a partnership or an entity disregarded as separate from its owners for U.S. federal income tax purposes (aside from a qualified REIT subsidiary), we will generally be treated as owing an interest in the underlying real estate and other assets of the partnership for tax purposes. As a result, absent sufficient controls to ensure that the underlying real property is operated in compliance with the REIT rules, preferred equity investments may jeopardize our compliance with the REIT income and asset tests. In addition, the treatment of interest-like preferred returns in a partnership or disregarded entity (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary) also is not clear under the REIT rules and could be treated as non-qualifying income. More importantly, in many cases the status of debt-like preferred equity as debt or equity for tax purposes is unclear. The IRS could challenge our treatment of such preferred equity investment for purposes of applying the REIT income and asset tests and, if such a challenge were sustained, we could fail to continue to qualify as REIT. In addition to the risk of loss of REIT status due to nonqualifying income, if the underlying property is dealer property, our gains from the sale of the property would be subject to a 100% tax. In addition, if the issuer of the preferred equity is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such preferred equity generally will be a nonqualifying asset unless the issuer is a REIT, qualified REIT subsidiary or TRS.

If we were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our stockholders, our status as a REIT could be adversely affected.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for dividends to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide us with a REIT-level tax deduction, the dividends must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is generally not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in the REIT’s organizational documents. There is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends. Therefore, if the IRS were to take the position that we inadvertently paid a preferential dividend, we may be deemed either to (a) have distributed less than 100% of our REIT taxable income and be subject to tax on the undistributed portion, or (b) have distributed less than 90% of our REIT taxable income and our status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination is made if we were unable to cure such failure. It also is possible that under certain technical rules relating to the deduction for dividends paid, the IRS could take the position that redemptions taxed as dividends impair our ability to satisfy our distribution requirements under the Code. To avoid certain issues related to our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements (see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations— Requirements for Qualification as a REIT — Annual Distribution Requirements”), we have implemented procedures designed to track our stockholders’ percentage interests in our common stock and identify any such dividend equivalent redemptions, and we will decline to effect a redemption to the extent that we believe that it would constitute a dividend equivalent redemption. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in preventing all dividend equivalent redemptions. We can provide no assurance that we will not be treated as inadvertently paying preferential dividends.

Sales of our assets may constitute “prohibited transactions,” which are subject to a 100% tax.

Net income derived from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. The term “prohibited transactions” generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (other than foreclosure property) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Whether property is held “primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business” depends on the specific facts and circumstances. The Code provides a safe harbor pursuant to which sales of properties held for at least two years (which period, for property being developed, does not begin to run until the property is placed in service) and meeting certain additional requirements will not be treated as prohibited transactions, but compliance with the safe harbor may not always be practical. We intend to continue to conduct our operations so that no asset that we own (or are treated as owning) will be treated as held as inventory or for sale to customers and that a sale of any such asset will not be treated as having been in the ordinary course of our business. However, we may have to sell assets from time to time to fund redemption requests, to satisfy our REIT distribution requirements, to satisfy other REIT requirements, or for other purposes. In addition, part of our investment strategy is to purchase assets that provide an opportunity for gain through capital appreciation, and we may sell such assets if beneficial opportunities arise. Therefore, no assurance can be given that any particular property in which we hold a direct or indirect interest will not be treated as property held for sale to customers, or that the safe-harbor provisions will apply. The potential application of the prohibited transactions tax could cause us to forego potential dispositions of other property or to forego other opportunities that might otherwise be attractive to us (such as developing property for sale), or to undertake such dispositions or other opportunities through a TRS, which would generally result in corporate income taxes being incurred.

The tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations thereof may be amended at any time. We cannot predict if or when any new or amended law, regulation, or administrative interpretation will be adopted, promulgated, or become effective, and any such change may apply retroactively. We and our security holders may be adversely affected by any new or amended law, regulation, or administrative interpretation.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act makes significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules related to the taxation of individuals and corporations, generally effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. In addition to reducing corporate and non-corporate tax rates, the Tax Act eliminates and restricts various deductions and limits the ability to utilize net operating losses. Most of the changes applicable to individuals are temporary and apply only to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026. The Tax Act makes numerous large and small changes to the tax rules that do not affect REITs directly but may affect our security holders and may indirectly affect us.

Prospective investors are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the status of the Tax Act and any other regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on investment in our securities.

Qualified Opportunity Fund Risk

Complying with QOF Regulations Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company’s Performance

Complying with Subchapter Z and any legislation or administrative guidance issued in connection with Subchapter Z could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company and/or some or all of the Stockholders. For example, in order for Stockholders to be able to take advantage of certain of the tax benefits afforded to them under Subchapter Z, the Company may hold an asset for a longer period of time than the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser would otherwise determine to be optimal absent legislation.

The permitted acquisitions that a QOF may make under Subchapter Z are highly limited, which may result in the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser being unable to source attractive opportunities, the Company’s property portfolio being highly concentrated and/or the Company not taking advantage of opportunities the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser may find attractive, but that do not comply with the permitted acquisitions under the legislation. In addition, as further described in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations —Qualified Opportunity Fund Tax Benefits—Opportunity Zones and Qualifying as a QOF,” a QOF, as defined in Section 1400Z-2(d) of the Code, is any investment vehicle that (i) is organized as either a corporation or a partnership for the purpose of investing in “qualified opportunity zone property” (within the meaning of Section 1400Z-2(d)(2) of the Code) (“QOZP”) and (ii) holds at least 90% of its assets in QOZP (the “90-Percent Test”). The 90-Percent Test is applied by measuring the average of the percentage of QOZP held by the QOF (i) on the last day of the first six-month period of each taxable year of the QOF and (ii) on the last day of each taxable year of the QOF. For purposes of the 90-Percent Test, the Proposed Regulations do not treat cash held directly by a QOF as QOZP. QOZP includes certain interests in “qualified opportunity zone businesses” (or “QOZBs”) and the Proposed Regulations establish, in the context of defining a “qualified opportunity zone business”, a 31-month working capital safe harbor for businesses that acquire, construct, or rehabilitate tangible business property in a QOZ. The safe harbor allows a QOF, in determining whether a business in which the QOF has invested is a QOZB, to treat the business’s cash, cash equivalents, and debt instruments with a term of 18 months or less as working capital that does not disqualify the business from being a QOZB provided that certain requirements have been satisfied, including: (i) the business has a written plan that identifies the working capital as (A) property held for the acquisition, construction, or substantial improvement of tangible property in the opportunity zone or (B) to develop a trade or business in the QOZ, (ii) the business has a written schedule showing that the working capital will be used within 31 months, and (iii) the business substantially complies with the schedule.

The Proposed Regulations clarify that a QOZB that ultimately needs more than 31 months to comply with the written plan does not lose the benefit of the safe harbor if the delay is attributable to waiting for government action the application for which is completed during the 31-month period. It is unclear from the Proposed Regulations whether relief is available in situations where that period is exceeded due to other circumstances outside of the QOZB’s control (such as unanticipated construction delays or force majeure events). The QOZB may not be treated as violating the safe harbor, so long as its expenditure of working capital “substantially complies” with such plan. The Proposed Regulations do not define “substantially complies” and it is unclear whether subsequent guidance or the final regulations will clarify this standard. As a result of the above, the Company may, directly or indirectly, be unable to fulfill ongoing expenses related to its operations and investments, including property development or improvement costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its portfolio. Further, because the Company may be unable to directly hold the cash necessary to fund development costs or other ongoing expenses associated with investments, and may be unable to indirectly hold such cash for longer than 31 months, the Company may be limited in the types of investments in which the Company can participate. In the event that the Company is unable to deploy the necessary capital to meet these obligations, the value of the Company’s investments may be significantly diminished. In addition, under these circumstances, the Adviser will be incentivized to invest the Company’s cash into qualifying investments on an expedited basis in order to meet the 90% Asset Test, which may limit the Company’s ability to perform thorough due diligence on any potential acquisitions, result in the Company making acquisitions that the Adviser would not otherwise have made absent this restriction, or result in the Company’s portfolio being highly concentrated.

Opportunity zone properties may trade at a premium.

We intend to participate in transactions that are attractive economically regardless of tax incentives. However, it is possible that at times opportunity zone properties may trade at a premium. If a stockholder’s holding period is less than 10 years, they may be exposed to paying an opportunity zone property premium without receiving the full opportunity zone benefit.

Failure to Qualify as a QOF or Attain QOF Benefits.

The Company was formed for the purpose of benefiting from the QOF program, and presently intends to conduct its operations so that it is treated as a QOF within the meaning of Subchapter Z of the Code (“Subchapter Z”). However, no assurances can be provided that the Company will qualify as a QOF or that, even if it does qualify, the tax benefits enumerated in “Summary of Principal Terms—Potential Opportunity Zone Tax Benefits” will be available to any particular investor in the Company.

There are numerous aspects of Subchapter Z and the TCJA that are subject to interpretation and that will require clarification by the Treasury. While the Proposed Regulations were released on October 19, 2018 and April 17, 2019, such regulations do not address every important issue and issues remain with respect to the topics addressed by such regulations. It is unclear when the government will release final regulations or in what manner the Treasury will resolve the many areas of uncertainty in the QOF program. Technical corrections legislation also may be needed from Congress to clarify certain provisions of the TCJA and to give proper effect to congressional intent. No assurance can be provided that additional legislation will be enacted, and even if enacted, additional legislation may not clearly address all items that require or would benefit from clarification.

The Company may change its acquisition program, its strategies, and the investments or types of investments it may make at any time and from time to time in order to comply with any additional legislation or administrative guidance from Congress or the Treasury. Changes may cause the Company to incur significant costs and/or avoid (or execute on) transactions it otherwise would not have, which could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company. However, the Company may determine not to, or may be unable to, comply with the additional legislation or administrative guidance in a manner that will allow investors in the Company to derive any or all of the tax benefits associated with the QOF program. Although the Company currently expects to manage its acquisition program in order to qualify as a QOF, no assurance can be provided in this regard. Further, even if the Company qualifies as a QOF, the Company may determine to manage its acquisition program in a manner that prevents any or all of its investors from continuing to receive any or all of the tax benefits of the QOF program described in “Summary of Principal Terms—Potential Opportunity Zone Tax Benefits.”

In the event that under additional legislation or administrative guidance, the Company will be unable to qualify as a QOF or provide investors with the anticipated tax benefits due to the Company’s current or anticipated structure, strategies and/or practices (or otherwise), the Board, in consultation with the Manager, generally will have a duty to consider whether any changes to the Company or its investment program may be made in order for the Company to qualify as a QOF, but will have no obligation to make any such change. In addition, in the event that additional legislation is not enacted or administrative guidance is not provided in respect of a particular matter relating to Subchapter Z, the Company may take certain actions based on its assumptions regarding the interpretation of certain provisions in Subchapter Z and the IRS may assert positions contrary to these assumptions, which could have an adverse impact on the Company, its status as a QOF, and the tax benefits otherwise afforded to the investors in the Company under Subchapter Z.

AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING, THERE CAN BE NO GUARANTEE THAT INVESTORS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY OF THE POTENTIAL TAX BENEFITS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

A portion of our distributions may be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could reduce the basis of a stockholder’s investment in our common stock and may trigger taxable gain.

A portion of our distributions may be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a general matter, a portion of our distributions will be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the aggregate amount of our distributions for a year exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for that year. To the extent that a distribution is treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it will reduce a holder’s adjusted tax basis in the holder’s shares, and to the extent that it exceeds the holder’s adjusted tax basis will be treated as gain resulting from a sale or exchange of such shares. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Legislative, regulatory, or administrative changes could adversely affect us or our security holders.

It is possible that future legislation will be enacted that would repeal Subchapter Z, prematurely end the deferral of gain that has been reinvested in Qualified Opportunity Funds(QOF) take away or curtail the ability of qualified stockholders to eliminate gain from the sale or exchange of QOF shares, or severely limit the types of investments that will qualify as QOZP. No assurances can be provided that the legislation will not be enacted.

Gains From Property Held Indirectly by Stockholders

A qualified stockholder is eligible to receive the potential tax benefits of Subchapter Z to the extent it invests eligible capital gain realized from the sale to, or exchange with, an unrelated person of any property held by such stockholder within 180 days of the date of such sale or exchange. Eligible capital gain does not include (i) certain gains from “section 1256 contracts” and (ii) any capital gain from a position that is or has been part of an “offsetting-positions transaction.” With respect to property held indirectly by a qualified stockholder through interests in partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Proposed Regulations provide that a qualified stockholder is eligible to receive the potential benefits of Subchapter Z to the extent it invests eligible capital gain realized from an indirect sale through such an entity, but only if such pass-through entity does not elect to defer the gain at the entity level and 63 the gain is from a sale to, or exchange with, a person unrelated to the qualified stockholder and such passthrough entity.

To the extent a qualified stockholder invests capital gain realized from the sale to, or exchange with, an unrelated person of property held indirectly (through, for example, such entities listed above), the 180-day window generally begins on the last day of the partnership’s taxable year in which such sale or exchange occurred, but the qualified stockholder may elect for its 180-day window for such gain to begin on the day such sale or exchange occurred except in the case of section 1231 gain; the 180-day period for investing eligible capital gains from section 1231 property in a QOF always begins on the last day of the taxable year (i.e., after the amount of long-term capital gains from such property can be determined).

Capital Gain from an Offsetting-Positions Transaction Is Not Eligible for QOZ Tax Benefits.

The Proposed Regulations provide that any capital gain from a position that is or has ever been part of an “offsetting-positions transaction” is not eligible to receive QOZ tax benefits upon investment in a QOF. For this purpose, an “offsetting-positions transaction” means (i) any straddle and (ii) any other transaction in which a taxpayer has substantially diminished its risk of loss from holding one position with respect to personal property by holding one or more other positions with respect to personal property (whether or not of the same kind), regardless of whether either of the positions is with respect to actively traded personal property. Investors may have difficulty determining whether their capital gain is from a position that has ever been part of an offsetting-positions transaction. Each prospective investor is advised to consult with its own tax advisers with respect to these determinations.

Realization of beneficial tax deferral requires a ten-year holding period.

One of the potential benefits of investing in a QOF is the exclusion from income of any appreciation in the value of Shares held by an investor for at least 10 years upon disposition of his or her Shares. This exclusion of investor-level gain is effectuated through a basis adjustment and provides that, in the case of any investment in Qualified Shares (as defined below) held by an investor for at least 10 years, the basis of the investor’s Shares will be equal to the fair market value of the Shares on the date that they are sold or exchanged. The Company expects that investors can take advantage of the basis adjustment in the event that the investor’s Qualified Shares are redeemed or repurchased or the Company is dissolved or liquidated, in each case if the Qualified Shares have been held by the investor for at least 10 years; provided, however, that the Treasury and the IRS may provide otherwise in published guidance and the IRS may interpret the law differently, even in the absence of published guidance on this point. The Proposed Regulations provide that the ability to make such an election is not impaired solely because the QOZs in which the Company invested have ceased to be designated as QOZs, as long as the Qualified Shares are sold or exchanged on or prior to December 31, 2047. The Proposed Regulations also provide that a stockholder in a QOF REIT may elect to apply a 0% rate of federal income tax to capital gain dividends of the REIT attributable to a sale or exchange of QOZP by the REIT after the 10-year holding period for the stockholder has been achieved. The election to exclude amounts from gross income applies only to capital gains (including capital gains typically subject to a higher rate of tax, including unrecaptured section 1250 gains) distributed to the QOF stockholder, and not to amounts properly characterized as ordinary income. It is important to note that this election appears to apply only to gain from certain dispositions of QOZP by the QOF itself, and does not technically apply to gain recognized by a QOZB held by the QOF. The rules of the Proposed Regulations regarding gain elimination after a 10-year holding period are subject to change at or prior to finalization, and if they are changed prior to the 10-year anniversary of the effective date of the TCJA, investors may be required to apply such regulations as amended, rather than the Proposed Regulations published in October 2018 and April 2019.

As further described in the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Company will have a right to cause all Stockholders to sell their Shares in a single transaction or a series of related transactions pursuant to a Public Listing or Sale. Investors also should be aware that any sale is subject to compliance with registration requirements of the Securities Act or exemptions available from the Securities Act. However, the Company has no obligation to exercise this option, and no assurance can be provided that the Company will find a purchaser for the Shares or that a Public Listing or Sale will be successful. Even if the Company is able to find a purchaser for the Shares, the price at which any Shares would be sold may be substantially less than the price the Company would have received had it sold each of the investments in the Company’s portfolio on a property-by-property basis.

Further, no assurance can be provided that the Company will redeem or repurchase Shares held by investors, or dissolve, at a time when each investor in the Company has held its Shares for at least 10 years. In addition, because of the multi-year offering period of the Company, the Company may redeem or repurchase Shares in the Company, or dissolve, at a time when certain investors have held their Shares for at least 10 years, but others have not. Further, at any time during the life of the Company, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of an asset, which may result in Stockholders recognizing income in connection with the Company’s distribution of the proceeds of this disposition (and therefore mitigate the potential tax benefits to Stockholders described above).

Investment in the Company may lead to the recognition of phantom income by stockholders.

Under Subchapter Z, qualified stockholders may elect to defer certain capital gains until the Deferral Recognition Event (as defined below), at which point the taxpayer will recognize an amount equal to the Deferral Recognition Amount (defined below). At the time of the Deferral Recognition Event an investor may have a zero or very low basis in its Shares in the Company, and thus realize a substantial amount of taxable income without a corresponding distribution from the Company to pay any taxes due. No assurance can be provided that any Stockholder will receive corresponding distributions from the Company in order to assist the Stockholder in satisfying any such tax obligation payments, and each Stockholder should expect to be required to pay such tax obligations from the Stockholder’s own assets, rather than from amounts paid to the Stockholder by the Company.

Timing of Subscription and Potential Tax Benefits

To be eligible for the QOF benefits, a prospective stockholder must invest in the Company within 180 days after realizing eligible capital gain from the sale or exchange of property held by the prospective stockholder. (The 180-day period for investing eligible capital gains from section 1231 property in a QOF begins on the last day of the taxable year (i.e., after the amount of long-term capital gains from such property can be determined).) There can be no guarantee, however, that the Company will accept any requested subscription or that subscriptions will be available on any given subscription date. A prospective stockholder may intend to subscribe for Shares within the requisite 180-day period but ultimately may be unable to do so for a variety of reasons, including that the Company or its agents may have rejected or delayed the subscription with or without notice or explanation. The Company and its agents accept no liability for any lost benefits or other losses associated with a failure of any Stockholder or prospective stockholder to satisfy the QOF 180-day requirement, which is solely the responsibility of such Stockholder or prospective stockholder.

Future legislation may be enacted that would affect the tax benefits of your investment.

It is possible that future legislation will be enacted that would repeal Subchapter Z, prematurely end the deferral of gain that has been reinvested in Qualified Shares, take away or curtail the ability of Qualified Stockholders to eliminate gain from the sale or exchange of Qualified Shares, or severely limit the types of investments that will qualify as QOZP. No assurances can be provided that the legislation will not be enacted.

Retirement Plan Risks

If the fiduciary of an employee pension benefit plan subject to ERISA (such as profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plan) or any other retirement plan or account fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code as a result of an investment in our common stock, the fiduciary could be subject to penalties.

There are special considerations that apply to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA (such as profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plans) and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Code (such as an IRA) that are investing in our shares. Fiduciaries investing the assets of such a plan or account in our common stock should satisfy themselves that:

Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code may result in the imposition of penalties and could subject the fiduciary to claims for damages or for equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, the fiduciary or IRA owner who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. In the case of a prohibited transaction involving an IRA owner, the IRA may be disqualified, and all of the assets of the IRA may be deemed distributed and subjected to tax. ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians should consult with counsel before making an investment in our common stock.

We may become subject to Title I of ERISA, which may lead to the rescission of certain transactions, tax or fiduciary liability and our being held in violation of certain ERISA and Code requirements.

If for any reason our assets are deemed to be “plan assets” because we do not qualify as either a “real estate operating company” or a “venture capital operating company” and there is no other exemption available to prevent our assets from being deemed “plan assets,” certain transactions, including acquisitions, sales and exchanges of properties, might constitute non-exempt prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and might have to be rescinded and may give rise to prohibited transaction excise taxes and fiduciary liability. In addition, if our assets are deemed to be “plan assets,” our management may be considered to be fiduciaries under ERISA. In this regard, while we intend to be structured to qualify as either a “real estate operating company” or a “venture capital operating company,” fiduciaries of employee benefit plans subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code should make an independent determination whether such status can be achieved.

Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

We make statements in this offering circular that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this offering circular or in the information incorporated by reference into this offering circular.

The forward-looking statements included in this offering circular are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this offering circular. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this offering circular and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this offering circular will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this offering circular, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this offering circular, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this offering circular will be achieved.

Estimated Use of Proceeds

The table below sets forth our estimated use of proceeds from this offering, assuming we sell $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock in this offering. Shares of our common stock will be offered at $100.00 per share. The per share purchase price will be adjusted every fiscal quarter as of January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter) and will equal the sum of our NAV divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the last business day of the prior fiscal quarter.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering (after paying or reimbursing organization and offering expenses) to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of qualified opportunity zone investments. We expect that any expenses or fees payable to our Manager for its services in connection with managing our daily affairs will be paid from cash flow from operations. If such fees and expenses are not paid from cash flow (or waived) they will reduce the cash available for investment and distribution and will directly impact our quarterly NAV. See “Management Compensation” for more details regarding the fees that will be paid to our Manager and its affiliates. Many of the amounts set forth in the table below represent our Manager’s best estimate since they cannot be precisely calculated at this time.

We may not be able to promptly invest the net proceeds of this offering in our qualified opportunity zone investments. In the interim, we may invest in short-term, highly liquid or other authorized investments, subject to the requirements for qualification as a REIT and as a qualified opportunity fund. Such short-term investments will not earn as high of a return as we expect to earn on our real estate related investments.

___________________________

Business and Properties

Overview

Park View OZ REIT Inc is a recently organized Maryland corporation formed to originate, invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of Qualified Opportunity Zone Properties. All of our assets will be held by, and all of our operations will be conducted through, our Operating Partnership, either directly or through its subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership.

We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to originate, acquire and structure a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate properties in accordance with our investment strategy described below. We may also invest, to a limited extent, in commercial real estate loans, as well as commercial real estate debt and equity securities and other real estate-related assets.

We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as both a qualified opportunity fund and a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Among other requirements, in seeking to satisfy the requirements necessary for the Company to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), the Company intends to hold at least 80% of its assets in REIT-qualifying assets. In addition, in seeking to satisfy the Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) requirements, the Company intends to hold at least 90% of its assets in properties that qualify as qualified opportunity zone property. We intend to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Our mailing address is located at One Beacon Street, 32^nd Floor, Boston, MA 02108. Our telephone number is 617-971-8807. Information regarding the Company is also available on our web site at www.parkviewozreit.com.

We will be externally managed and advised by our Manager. We expect to benefit from the personnel, relationships and experience of our Manager’s management team and other personnel of our Manager. Pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between our Manager, us and our Operating Partnership, our Manager will provide us with our management team and appropriate personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations and responsibilities under the management agreement.

We have entered into the management agreement with our Operating Partnership and our Manager to be effective as of _________, ______, 2020 Pursuant to the management agreement, our Manager will implement our business strategy and perform certain services for us, subject to oversight by our Board of Directors. Our Manager will be responsible for, among other duties, (1) performing all of our day-to-day functions, (2) determining our investment strategy and guidelines in conjunction with our Board of Directors, (3) sourcing, analyzing and executing investments, asset sales and financing, (4) performing portfolio management duties, and (5) performing financial and accounting functions.

The initial term of the management agreement will be for five years commencing on the effective date of the agreement, with automatic one-year renewal terms starting on completion of the initial five-year term. For a detailed description of the management agreement’s termination provisions, see “Our Manager and the Management Agreement—Management Agreement.”

Regulation

General

Our properties will be subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances, and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire safety requirements. We expect that our properties, at the time they are fully stabilized, will have the necessary permits and approvals to operate their business.

Americans with Disabilities Act

Our properties will need to comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent that it is a “public accommodation” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access for persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although we believe that our properties will be substantially in compliance, some of our properties may currently be in noncompliance with the ADA. Such noncompliance could result in the incurrence of additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.

Insurance

We will carry commercial insurance with the policy specifications and insured limits that management believes are appropriate and adequate for all our properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. However, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover our losses. There are types of losses at the property level, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, wind damage, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, which are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to significant limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. If any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss. In addition, our title insurance policies may not insure for the current aggregate market value of any of our properties, and we do not intend to increase our title insurance coverage as the market values of our properties increase.

Competition

In acquiring our properties, we compete with public commercial property sector REITs, income oriented non-traded REITs, private real estate fund managers, Qualified Opportunity Funds and local real estate investors and developers. Many of these entities have greater resources than us or other competitive advantages. We also face significant competition in leasing available properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants.

Employees

We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees in the foreseeable future. Services necessary for our business are provided by our Manager pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement. Pursuant to a support agreement between our Manager and our Sponsor, our Sponsor provides our Manager with the personnel, services and resources necessary for our Manager to perform its obligations and responsibilities under the management agreement. Each of our executive officers is an employee or officer of our Sponsor. To the extent that we acquire more investments, we anticipate that the number of our Sponsor’s employees who devote time to our matters will increase.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operation if determined adversely to us.

Subject to our investment strategies and policies and the supervision and direction of our Board of Directors, our Manager will be responsible for (a) the selection, purchase and sale of our real estate investments and assets, (b) our financing activities and (c) providing us with personnel, services and resources. Our Manager will be responsible for our day-to-day operations and will perform (or will cause to be performed) such services and activities relating to our assets and operations as may be appropriate, which may include, without limitation, the following:

Investment Advisory and Acquisition Services

Offering Services

Asset Management Services

Accounting and Other Administrative Services

Stockholder Services

Financing Services

Disposition Services

Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, our Manager may retain, for and on our behalf, such additional services, including property management, leasing and construction services, as our Manager deems necessary or advisable in connection with our management and operations, which may include obtaining such services from our Manager or its affiliates, the costs of which will be in addition to the asset management fee; provided, that any such services may only be provided by our Manager or its affiliates to the extent such services are on arm’s-length terms and competitive market rates in relation to terms that are then customary for agreements regarding the provision of such services to companies that have assets similar in type, quality and value to our assets and our subsidiaries’ assets.

Liability and Indemnification

Pursuant to the management agreement, our Manager will not assume any responsibility other than to render the services called for thereunder in good faith. It will not be responsible for any action of our Board of Directors in following or declining to follow its advice or recommendations, including as set forth in the investment guidelines. Our Manager will maintain a contractual as opposed to a fiduciary relationship with us. However, to the extent that employees of our Manager also serve as our officers or directors, such officers and directors will owe us duties under Maryland law in their capacity as officers and directors, which may include the duty to exercise reasonable care in the performance of such officers’ or directors’ responsibilities, as well as the duties of loyalty, good faith and candid disclosure. Under the terms of the management agreement, our Manager and its affiliates, and any of their members, principals, stockholders, managers, partners, personnel, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and any person providing sub-advisory services to our Manager, will not be liable to us, our directors, stockholders, partners or members for any acts or omissions (including errors that may result from ordinary negligence, such as errors in the investment decision-making process) performed in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement, except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under the management agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. We have agreed to indemnify our Manager, its affiliates and any of their officers, stockholders, members, partners, managers, directors, personnel, employees, consultants and any person providing sub-advisory services to our Manager with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arising from acts of our Manager not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties, arising from acts or omissions performed in good faith in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement. Our Manager has agreed to indemnify us, our directors, officers, stockholders, partners or members and any persons controlling us with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arising from acts or omissions of our Manager constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under the management agreement or any claims by our Sponsor’s employees relating to the terms and conditions of their employment by Sponsor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Sponsor may carry errors and omissions and other customary insurance coverage upon the completion of this offering.

Management Team

Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, our Manager will be required to provide us with a portion of our management team, including a Chief Executive Officer and such other positions as requested by our Board of Directors, along with appropriate support personnel, to provide the management services to be provided by our Manager to us. None of the officers or employees of our Sponsor will be dedicated exclusively to us. Members of our management team will be required to devote such time as is necessary and appropriate commensurate with the level of our activity.

Our Manager will be required to refrain from any action that, in its sole judgment made in good faith, (a) is not in compliance with the investment guidelines, (b) would adversely and materially affect our qualification as a REIT under the Code or our status as an entity intended to be excluded or exempted from investment company status under the Investment Company Act, or (c) would violate any law, rule or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over us or that would otherwise not be permitted by our charter or bylaws. If our Manager is ordered to take any action by our Board of Directors, our Manager will promptly notify our Board of Directors if it is our Manager’s judgment that such action would adversely and materially affect such status or violate any such law, rule or regulation or our charter or bylaws. Our Manager, its affiliates and any of their members, principals, stockholders, managers, partners, personnel, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and any person providing sub-advisory services to our Manager will not be liable to us, our Board of Directors, our stockholders, partners or members, for any act or omission by our Manager or any of its affiliates, except as provided in the management agreement.

Term and Termination

The management agreement may be amended or modified by agreement between us and our Manager. The initial term of the management agreement expires on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the agreement and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term each anniversary date thereafter unless previously terminated as described below. Our Independent Committee will review our Manager’s performance and, following the initial term, the management agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of the majority of our Independent Committee, based upon unsatisfactory performance that is materially detrimental to us taken as a whole. We must provide 180 days’ prior notice of any such termination. During the initial five-year term of the management agreement, we may not terminate the management agreement except for cause.

We may also terminate the management agreement at any time, including during the initial term, with 30 days’ prior written notice from our Board of Directors for cause, which is defined as:

Our Manager may assign the agreement in its entirety or delegate certain of its duties under the management agreement to any of its affiliates without the approval of our Board of Directors so long as our Manager remains liable for any such affiliate’s performance, and if such assignment or delegation does not require our approval under the Investment Advisers Act.

Our Manager may terminate the management agreement if we become required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, with such termination deemed to occur immediately before such event. Our Manager may decline to renew the management agreement by providing us with 180 days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the initial term or the then current automatic renewal term. In addition, if we default in the performance of any material term of the agreement and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to us specifying such default and requesting the same be remedied in 30 days (or 45 days after the written notice of such breach of if we, under certain circumstances, have taken steps to cure such breach within 30 days of the written notice), our Manager may terminate the management agreement.

We may not assign our rights or responsibilities under the management agreement without the prior written consent of our Manager, except in the case of assignment to another REIT or other organization which is our successor, in which case such successor organization will be bound under the management agreement and by the terms of such assignment in the same manner as we are bound under the management agreement.

Management Compensation and Expense Reimbursements

We do not maintain an office or directly employ personnel. Instead, we rely on the facilities and resources of our Manager to manage our day-to-day operations.

Our Manager and its affiliates are entitled to receive fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to this offering and the investment and management of our assets, including a quarterly asset management fee. See “Management Compensation” for a detailed explanation of the fees and expenses payable to our Manager and its affiliates. Neither our Manager nor its affiliates will receive any selling commissions or dealer manager fees in connection with the offer and sale of shares of our common stock.

Support Agreement

Our Manager has entered into a support agreement with our Sponsor. Pursuant to this agreement, our Manager will be provided with access to, among other things, our sponsor’s portfolio management, asset valuation, risk management and asset management services as well as administration services addressing legal, compliance, investor relations and information technologies necessary for the performance by our Manager of its duties in exchange for a fee representing our Manager’s allocable cost for these services. The fee paid by our Manager pursuant to the support agreement will not constitute a reimbursable expense under the management agreement. However, under the support agreement, our sponsor will be entitled to receive reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of us or our Manager that we are required to pay our Manager under the management agreement.

Management

Board of Directors

We operate under the direction of our Board of Directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. Our Board of Directors has retained our Manager to direct the management of our business and affairs, manage our day-to-day affairs, and implement our investment strategy, subject to our Board of Directors’ supervision. The current Board members are Michael Kelley, Elizabeth Tyminski, Warren Isabelle and Kenneth Mabbs. Our Chief Executive Officer is Michael Kelley and our Chief Operating Officer is Elizabeth Tyminski.

Our Board of Directors will be classified into three classes. Michael Kelley is a Class III director, Elizabeth Tyminski and Ken Mabbs are Class II directors and Warren Isabelle is a Class I director. The Class I directors will be elected for an initial term ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Subsequent Class I directors will be elected for successive terms ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the third year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Class II directors will be elected for an initial term ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the second year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Subsequent Class II directors will be elected for successive terms ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the third year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The Class III directors will be elected for an initial term ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the third year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Subsequent Class III directors will be elected for successive terms ending at the annual meeting of the stockholders the third year after election and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski are also executive officers of our Manager and may serve on the investment committees for affiliates of our Manager. In order to ameliorate the risks created by conflicts of interest, our Board of Directors will create a committee to address any potential conflicts comprised of all of our independent directors (the “Independent Committee”). An independent director is a person who is not an officer or employee of our Manager or its affiliates and meets the requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). The Independent Committee will act upon conflicts of interest matters, including transactions between us and our Manager. For more details, see “Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions.”

Although the number of Board members may be increased or decreased, a decrease may not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. Any director may resign at any time or may be removed for fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, or by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of the proposed removal. The notice of the meeting will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director will be removed.

Our charter and bylaws provide that any and all vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any individual elected to fill such vacancy will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is duly elected and qualifies.

Our charter and bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting with the unanimous consent, in writing or by electronic transmissions, of each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter.

Under Maryland law, our directors must perform their duties in good faith and in a manner each director believes to be in our best interests. Further, our directors must act with such care as a prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances, including exercising reasonable inquiry when taking actions. However, our directors and executive officers are not required to devote all of their time to our business and must devote only such time to our affairs as their duties may require. We do not expect that our directors will be required to devote a substantial portion of their time to us in discharging their duties. For more details, see “Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions.”

Our general investment and borrowing policies are set forth in this offering circular. Our directors may establish written policies on investments and borrowings and will monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that our executive officers and Manager follow these policies and that these policies continue to be in the best interests of our stockholders. Unless modified by our directors, we will follow the policies on investments and borrowings set forth in this offering circular.

Committees of our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors may delegate many of its powers to one or more committees. As of the date of this offering circular, our Board of Directors has established an audit committee.

A member of our Board of Directors who is also an employee of our Manager or our Sponsor is referred to as an employee director. Employee directors will not receive compensation for serving on our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has approved a compensation program for our non-employee directors, which will take effect upon completion of this offering and will consist of annual retainer fees and equity awards.

Under the program, each non-employee director will be entitled to receive an annual retainer of $10,000.

Compensation of Executive Officers

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Each of the executive officers of our Manager also serves as an executive officer of the Company. Each of these individuals receives compensation for his services, including services performed for us on behalf of our Manager, from the Manager. As executive officers of our Manager, these individuals will serve to manage our day-to-day affairs, oversee the review, selection and recommendation of investment opportunities, service acquired investments and monitor the performance of these investments to ensure that they are consistent with our investment objectives. Although we will indirectly bear the costs of the compensation paid to these individuals, through fees we pay to our Manager, we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to these individuals.

Unless otherwise indicated below, each person or entity has an address in care of our principal executive offices at One Beacon Street, 32^nd Floor, Boston, MA 02108.

Conflicts of Interest and Related Party Transactions

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with our Manager, our Sponsor and their affiliates. We discuss these conflicts below and conclude this section with a discussion of the corporate governance measures we have adopted to mitigate some of the risks posed by these conflicts.

Our Affiliates’ Interests in Other Park View Entities

General

The officers, directors and the key real estate professionals of our Manager who perform services for us on behalf of our Manager are also officers, directors, managers, and/or key professionals of our Sponsor. These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to us. In the future, these persons and other affiliates of our Sponsor may organize other real estate-related programs, including other REITs, and acquire for their own account real estate-related investments that may be suitable for us.

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

We rely on our Sponsor’s executive officers and key real estate professionals who act on behalf of our Manager to identify suitable investments. Our Sponsor has in the past established and sponsored funds, and in the future expects to establish and sponsor additional real estate funds, as well as other potential investment vehicles. Any future investment vehicles may have investment criteria similar to ours. If a sale, investment or other business opportunity would be suitable for more than one investment vehicle sponsored by our Sponsor, our Manager will allocate it according to the policies and procedures adopted by our Manager. Any allocation of this type may involve the consideration of a number of factors that our Manager’s investment committee may determine to be relevant. The factors that our Manager real estate professionals could consider when determining the particular investment vehicle for which an investment opportunity would be the most suitable include the following:

If a subsequent event or development causes any investment, in the opinion of our Manager’s real estate professionals, to be more appropriate for another investment vehicle sponsored by our Sponsor, they may offer the investment to such investment vehicle.

Except under any policies that may be adopted by our Manager, which policies will be designed to minimize conflicts among the affiliates of our Sponsor, no investment vehicle sponsored by our Sponsor will have any duty, responsibility or obligation to refrain from:

In addition, any decisions by our Manager to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one entity of our Sponsor more than another entity of our Sponsor or limit or impair the ability of any entity of our Sponsor to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one particular entity of our Sponsor that such arrangements or agreements include or not include another entity of our Sponsor, as the case may be. Any of these decisions may benefit one entity of our Sponsor more than another entity of our Sponsor.

Allocation of Our Affiliates’ Time

We rely on our Sponsor’s key professionals who act on behalf of our Manager, Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski, for the day-to-day operation of our business. Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski are also executive officers and/or members of our Sponsor and its affiliates. As a result of their interests in other affiliates of our Sponsor, their obligations to other investors and the fact that they engage in and will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, Michael Kelley and Elizabeth Tyminski will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time among us, our Manager and other affiliates of our Sponsor and other business activities in which they are involved. However, we believe that our Manager and its affiliates have sufficient real estate professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the affiliates of our Sponsor for which they work.

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by our Manager and its Affiliates

Our Manager and its affiliates will receive an asset management fee from us, which fee has not been negotiated at arm’s length with an unaffiliated third party. This fee could influence our Manager’s advice to us as well as the judgment of affiliates of our Manager, some of whom also serve as our Manager’s officers and directors and the key executives of our Sponsor. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

No Independent Underwriter

As we are conducting this offering without the aid of an independent underwriter, you will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Certain Conflict Resolution Measures

Independent Committee

If our Sponsor, our Manager or their affiliates have a conflict of interest with us that is not otherwise covered by an existing policy we have adopted, our Independent Committee will review and approve such affiliate transactions. Affiliate transactions are defined as transactions between our Sponsor, our Manager or their affiliates, on the one hand, and us or one of our subsidiaries, on the other hand. Our Manager is only authorized to execute affiliate transactions with the prior approval of the Independent Committee and in accordance with applicable law. Such prior approval may include but not be limited to pricing methodology for the acquisition of assets and/or liabilities for which there are no readily observable market prices.

Our Policies Relating to Conflicts of Interest

In addition to our Manager’s investment allocation policies described above, we have adopted the following policies prohibiting us from entering into certain types of transactions with respect to future investments with our Manager, our Sponsor, their officers or any of their affiliates in order to further reduce the potential for conflicts inherent in transactions with affiliates.

Pursuant to these conflicts of interest policies, we may not engage in the following types of transactions unless such transaction is approved by the Independent Committee:

In addition, pursuant to these conflicts of interest policies, we will neither make any loans to our Manager, our Sponsor, their officers or any of their affiliates nor borrow money from our Manager, our Sponsor, their officers or any of their affiliates, except as otherwise provided in the offering circular or unless approved by the Independent Committee. These restrictions on loans will only apply to advances of cash that are commonly viewed as loans, as determined by the Manager. By way of example only, the prohibition on loans would not restrict advances of cash for legal expenses or other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought nor would the prohibition limit our ability to advance reimbursable expenses incurred by our Manager, our Sponsor, their officers or any of their affiliates. Notwithstanding the above, from time to time we may borrow from our Sponsor at a market rate approved by the Independent Committee.

These conflicts of interest policies may be amended at any time in our Manager’s discretion, with the approval of our Board of Directors.

Liability and Indemnification of our Sponsor

We will enter into an indemnification agreement with our Sponsor pursuant to which our Sponsor will not assume any responsibility for any action of our Board of Directors in following or declining to follow the advice or recommendations of our manager. However, to the extent that employees of our Sponsor also serve as our officers or directors, such officers and directors will owe us duties under Maryland law in their capacity as officers and directors, which may include the duty to exercise reasonable care in the performance of such officers’ or directors’ responsibilities, as well as the duties of loyalty, good faith and candid disclosure. Under the terms of the indemnification agreement, our Sponsor and its affiliates, and any of their members, stockholders, managers, partners, personnel, officers, directors, employees, consultants and any person providing sub-advisory services to our Sponsor, will not be liable to us, our directors, stockholders, partners or members for any acts or omissions (including errors that may result from ordinary negligence, such as errors in the investment decision-making process or in the trade process) performed in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement, except by reason of acts or omissions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of their duties under the management agreement, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. We have agreed to indemnify our Sponsor, its affiliates and any of their officers, stockholders, members, partners, managers, directors, personnel, employees, consultants and any person providing sub-advisory services to our Manager with respect to all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arising from acts of our Manager not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties, arising from acts or omissions performed in good faith in accordance with and pursuant to the management agreement.

Related Party Loans and Warehousing of Assets

If we have sufficient funds to acquire only a portion of a real estate investment then, in order to cover the shortfall, we may obtain a related party loan from our Sponsor or its affiliates. Each related party loan will be an obligation of ours, that is payable solely to the extent that such related party loan remains outstanding. As we sell additional shares of common stock in this offering, we will use the proceeds of such sales to pay down the principal and interest of the related party loan, reducing the payment obligation of the related party loan, and our obligation to the holder of the related party loan. We may also utilize related party loans, from time to time, as a form of leverage to acquire real estate assets. From time to time we may borrow from our Sponsor at a market rate approved by the Independent Committee.

As an alternative means of acquiring investments for which we do not yet have sufficient funds, our Sponsor or its affiliates may close and fund a real estate investment prior to it being acquired by us. This ability to warehouse investments allows us the flexibility to deploy our offering proceeds as funds are raised. We may then acquire such investment at a price equal to the fair market value of such investment, provided that its fair market value is materially equal to its cost (i.e., the aggregate equity capital invested by our Sponsor or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition and during the warehousing of such investments, plus assumption of debt and any costs, such as accrued property management fees and transfer taxes, incurred during or as a result of the warehousing or, with respect to debt, the principal balance plus accrued interest net of any applicable servicing fees).

Investment Objectives and Strategy

Investment Objectives

Our primary investment objectives are:

To qualify for Qualified Opportunity Fund and REIT tax treatment.

Investment Strategy

We intend to concentrate our operations on the identification, acquisition and development or redevelopment of properties located within “opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets will consist of qualified opportunity zone properties, which will enable us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund.”

Our investments are expected to consist of properties for the construction and/or renovation of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, mixed-use, data centers and solar projects located throughout the United States and its territories. We anticipate our future operations will include the acquisition and development or redevelopment of a wide range of commercial properties located throughout the United States, as well as the acquisition of real estate-related assets, including debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies, with the goal of increasing distributions and/or capital appreciation. We cannot assure you that we will attain these objectives or that the value of our assets will not decrease. Furthermore, within our investment objectives and policies, our Manager will have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets. Our Manager’s investment committee will periodically review our investment guidelines to determine whether our investment guidelines continue to be in the best interests of our stockholders. There is no prohibition in our charter on the amount or percentage of our assets that may be invested in a single property. Initially, we expect to have a limited number of properties and up to 100% of our assets may be invested in a single property.

In executing on our business strategy, we believe that we will benefit from our Manager’s affiliation with our Sponsor given the extensive investment experience brought by our Sponsor’s executives and advisors. These competitive advantages include:

Investment Decisions and Asset Management

Within our investment policies and objectives, our Manager’s investment committee will have substantial discretion with respect to the selection of specific investments and the purchase and sale of our assets. We believe that successful real estate investment requires the implementation of strategies that permit favorable purchases and originations, effective asset management and timely disposition of those assets. As such, we have developed a disciplined investment approach that combines the experience of its team of real estate professionals with a structure that emphasizes thorough market research, stringent underwriting standards and an extensive down-side analysis of the risks of each investment. The approach also includes active and aggressive management of each asset acquired.

We believe that active management is critical to creating value. We will continually re-evaluate the exit strategy of each asset in response to the performance of the individual asset, market conditions and our overall portfolio objectives to determine the optimal time to sell or refinance the asset.

To execute our disciplined investment approach, a team of our real estate professionals take responsibility for the business plan of each investment. The following practices summarize our investment approach:

Opportunity and Market Overview

Our Company’s investment structure, the “Opportunity Zone REIT,” offers what we believe is a highly tax efficient vehicle for investors with a long term investment horizon and capital gain eligible for “qualified opportunity fund” (QOF) benefits. .

Set forth below is an explanation of the benefits that the Company believes distinguishes it from more traditional real estate investment platforms:

We believe that we will be able to provide our stockholders with compelling investment performance on a risk-adjusted basis through (1) the application of our rigorous investment and underwriting standards, (2) the geographic and asset class diversification of our investments and (3) the expected tax benefits from an investment in the Company. We will initially focus on the development and renovation of our qualified opportunity zone investments in opportunity zones that have completed, or are engaged in, the revitalization process, which are expected to be located within 75 miles of metropolitan markets. Given the recent concentration of investment capital in increasingly larger deals in major metropolitan areas, we believe that there will be less competition for our targeted assets. Additionally, we believe that our focus on markets with favorable risk-return characteristics should enable us to achieve higher capital appreciation than would be achievable on similar deals in larger markets.

Park View expects that is will be able manage the risk associated with developing or renovating and managing its investments better that other real estate companies due to its access to the resources of our Sponsor.

We believe our Sponsor’s experienced investment professionals will enable the Manager to better evaluate and manage the company’s investments to reduce risk and increase returns for our stockholders.

It is important to note that real estate markets are often unpredictable and subject to change over time. As a result, changes may occur that will require us to modify our investment strategy to identify and acquire assets providing attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Targeted Investments

Prior to acquiring an asset, our Manager’s investment committee will perform an individual analysis of the asset to determine whether it meets our investment guidelines. Our Manager’s investment committee will use the information derived from the analysis in determining whether the asset is an appropriate investment for us.

We intend to concentrate our early operations on the identification, acquisition and development or redevelopment of properties located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets will initially consist of qualified opportunity zone investments, which will enable us to be classified as a “qualified opportunity fund.” Because we will be a qualified opportunity fund, certain investors in our company will be eligible for favorable capital gains tax treatment on their investments. Our initial investments are expected to consist of properties for the construction and/or renovation of multifamily, student housing, senior living, healthcare, industrial, self-storage, hospitality, mixed-use, data centers and solar projects located throughout the United States and its territories.

We anticipate our future operations will include the acquisition and development or redevelopment of a wide range of commercial properties located throughout the United States, as well as the acquisition of real estate-related assets, including debt and equity securities issued by other real estate companies, with the goal of increasing distributions and/or capital appreciation. As of the date of this offering circular, we have not identified any particular asset to acquire.

We intend to hold our assets for a minimum of two years and potentially indefinitely based on future market conditions or property performance. We believe that holding our assets for the long term will enable us to capitalize on the potential for increased income and capital appreciation. Tax rules applicable to REITs may also influence our hold periods for each investment.

Qualified Opportunity Zone

The opportunity zone is a new community development program established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage long-term investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. The opportunity zone program provides a tax incentive for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into qualified opportunity funds that are dedicated to investing in opportunity zones designated by the chief executives of every state and territory of the United States.

To be certified as a qualified opportunity zone, the designated census tract must have a poverty rate of at least 20% and be an area for which the median family income does not exceed 80% of the statewide family income or, if located in a metropolitan area, does not exceed 80% of the metropolitan area median family income. Certain census tracts contiguous with low income communities may also be designated as qualified opportunity zone if the median family income of the census tract does not exceed 125% of the median family income of the low income community with which the census tract is contiguous. As of the date of this offering circular, there were more than 8,700 qualified opportunity zones throughout the United States.

In order to be a “qualified opportunity fund,” at least 90% of the fund’s assets need to consist of “qualified opportunity zone property” (the “90% Asset Test”). A qualified opportunity fund must determine whether it meets the 90% Asset Test on each of: (i) the last day of the first six-month period of its taxable year, and (ii) the last day of its taxable year (each a “Semiannual Test Date”). Subject to a one time six-month cure period, for each month following a Semiannual Test Date in which a qualified opportunity fund fails to meet the 90% Asset Test, it will be required to pay a penalty equal to: (1) the excess of (a) the excess of 90% of the fund’s aggregate assets over the aggregate amount of qualified opportunity zone property held by the fund, multiplied by (b) the short-term federal interest rate plus 3%. However, notwithstanding a qualified opportunity fund’s failure to meet the 90% Asset Test, no penalty will be imposed if the fund demonstrates that its failure is due to reasonable cause

Taxpayers must make deferral elections on Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets), which will need to be attached to their U.S. federal income tax returns for the taxable year in which the capital gain would have been recognized had it not been deferred. In addition, on January 27, 2020, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released new Form, 8997 (Initial and Annual Statement of Qualified Opportunity Fund QOF Investments) which requires eligible taxpayers holding a qualified opportunity fund investment at any point during the tax year to report: (i) qualified opportunity fund investments holdings at the beginning and end of the tax year; (ii) current tax year capital gains deferred by investing in a qualified opportunity fund; and (iii) qualified opportunity fund investments disposed of during the tax year.

Subsequent changes in the tax laws or the adoption of new regulations, as well as early dispositions of shares of our common stock, could cause the loss of the anticipated tax benefits. As a result, you are urged to consult with your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of (1) purchasing, owning or disposing of our common stock, including the federal, state and local tax consequences of investing capital gains in our shares, (3) our election to be taxed as a REIT and our election to be organized as a qualified opportunity and (3) potential changes in the interpretation of the existing tax laws or the adoption of new laws or regulations.

Investments in Real Property

In executing our investment strategy with respect to investments in real property, we will seek to invest in assets that we believe will provide positive cash flow characteristics and/or asset appreciation. To the extent feasible, we will seek to satisfy our investment objectives of achieving attractive cash yields with the potential for capital appreciation. In making investment decisions for us, our Manager’s investment committee will consider relevant real estate property and financial factors, including the location of the property, its income-producing capacity, the prospects for long-term appreciation and its liquidity and income and REIT tax considerations.

We are not limited in the number or size of properties we may acquire or the percentage of net proceeds of this offering that we may invest in a single property. The number and mix of properties we acquire will depend upon real estate and market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire our properties and the amount of proceeds we raise in this offering.

Our investment in real estate generally will take the form of holding fee title. We may selectively acquire properties with co-investment partners. In addition, we may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. Although we will use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” so that we will be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes, the IRS could challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale-leaseback transaction is recharacterized as a financing transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Requirements for Qualification—Sale-Leaseback Transactions.”

We intend to invest in markets with favorable risk-return characteristics. As a result, our actual investments may result in concentrations in a limited number of geographic regions. We will make our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located throughout the United States and its territories.

Our obligation to purchase any property generally will be conditioned upon the delivery and verification of certain documents:

We will not purchase any property unless and until we obtain what is generally referred to as a “Phase I” environmental site assessment and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment consists primarily of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concerns, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property, surveying of the ownership history, and contacting local governmental agency personnel and performing a regulatory agency file search in an attempt to determine any known environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity of the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, groundwater or building materials from the property.

Generally, sellers engage and pay third party brokers or finders in connection with the sale of an asset. Although we do not expect to do so on a regular basis, we may from time to time compensate third party brokers or finders in connection with our acquisitions.

In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain an option on such property. The amount paid for an option, if any, is normally surrendered if the property is not purchased and is normally credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased. In purchasing properties, we will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate Multifamily and Mixed-Use Rental Properties. We expect that a majority of our initial qualified opportunity zone investments will be multifamily and mixed-use property developments. We define development projects to include a range of activities from major renovation and lease-up of existing buildings to ground up construction. In each case, these multifamily and development communities will meet our investment objectives and may include conventional multifamily rental properties, such as mid-rise, high-rise, and garden-style properties, as well as student housing and age-restricted properties (typically requiring at least one resident of each unit to be 55 or older). Specifically, we may acquire multifamily assets that may benefit from enhancement or repositioning and development assets. We may purchase any type of residential property, including properties that require capital improvement or lease-up to enhance stockholder returns. Location, condition, design and amenities are key characteristics for apartment communities. We will initially focus on investments in qualified opportunity zones throughout the United States and its territories, and may invest in other markets and submarkets that are deemed likely to benefit from ongoing population shifts and/or that are poised for high growth potential.

The terms and conditions of any apartment lease that we enter into with our residents may vary substantially; however, we expect that a majority of our leases will be standardized leases customarily used between landlords and residents for the specific type and use of the property in the geographic area where the property is located. In the case of apartment communities, such standardized leases generally have terms of one year.

Co-investment Investment Platforms. Our Operating Partnership will acquire properties on our behalf. We will frequently acquire the entire equity ownership interest in properties and exercise control over those properties. However, we may also enter into co-investments, partnerships, tenant-in-common investments or other co-ownership arrangements with third parties, for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties for the purpose of further diversifying our portfolio of assets. We may also enter into co-investments, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements or participations with real estate developers, owners and other third parties for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties.

A co-investment creates an alignment of interest of capital provided by the Company, for the benefit of our stockholders, by leveraging our Sponsor’s relationship with third-parties having significant acquisition, development and management expertise in order to achieve the following four primary objectives: (1) increase the return on our invested capital; (2) diversify our access to investment opportunities; (3) “leverage” our invested capital to promote our brand and increase market share; and (4) obtain the participation of sophisticated partners in our real estate decisions. In determining whether to invest in a particular co-investment, our Manager’s investment committee will evaluate the real property that such co-investment owns or is being formed to own under the same criteria described elsewhere in this offering circular for our selection of real property investments.

The Company anticipates that substantially all of its co-investment investments will be structured in one of the following formats:

(1) Park View OP will partner with local developers who will act as the developer for multiple co-investment projects with our Operating Partnership, within specific regions of the United States. These Park View co-investment partnerships will enable the Company to increase its presence and expertise in multiple regions throughout the United States without having to incur the costs associated with opening offices in each region where new investment properties are located.

(2) Park View OP will enter into co-investments with experienced local developers to co-invest and co-develop projects on a deal-by-deal basis, where Park View OP will act as a general partner or managing member for the co-investment.

Lack of Allocation Requirements

Nothing in our charter, organizational documents or otherwise provides for restrictions or limitations on the percentage of our investments that must be (i) in a given geographic area, (ii) of a particular type of real estate, or (iii) acquired utilizing a particular method of financing. Our Board of Directors may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines without specific restrictions or limitations related to geographic location, diversification, or otherwise. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to an Investment in our Company.”

Investment Process

Our Manager has the authority to make all the decisions regarding our investments consistent with the investment guidelines and borrowing policies approved by our Manager’s investment committee and subject to the direction and oversight of our Manager’s investment committee. Our Manager’s investment committee must approve all investments. We will not, however, purchase or lease assets in which our Manager, any of our officers or any of their affiliates has an interest without a determination by the Independent Committee that the terms of such transaction, including price, are fair and reasonable to us. In the event that two or more members of the investment committee are interested parties in a transaction, the Independent Committee will consider and vote upon the approval of the transaction. Our Manager’s investment committee will periodically review our investment guidelines and our investment portfolio. Changes to our investment guidelines must be approved by our Manager’s investment committee.

Our Manager will focus on the sourcing, acquisition and management of commercial real estate. In selecting investments for us, our Manager will utilize our Sponsor’s established investment and underwriting process, which focuses on ensuring that each prospective investment is being evaluated appropriately. The criteria that our Manager will consider when evaluating prospective investment opportunities include:

If a potential investment meets our Manager’s underwriting criteria, our Manager will review the proposed transaction structure, including, with respect to co-investments, governance and control rights, buy-sell provisions and recourse provisions. Our Manager will evaluate our position and our rights in relation to potential co-investment partners. Our Manager will analyze each potential investment’s risk-return profile and review financing sources, if applicable, to ensure that the investment fits within the parameters of financing facilities and to ensure performance of the real estate asset.

Borrowing Policy

We believe that our Sponsor’s ability to obtain both competitive financings and its relationships with top tier financial institutions should allow our Manager to successfully employ competitively-priced, moderate levels of borrowing in order to enhance our returns. Although our investment strategy is not contingent on financing our assets in the capital markets, our Sponsor’s past experience in procuring a range of debt facilities should provide our Manager with an advantage in potentially obtaining conservatively structured term financing for many of our investments, to the extent available, through capital markets and other financing transactions.

We intend to employ leverage in order to provide more funds available for investment. We believe that prudent use of leverage will help us to achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. We expect that, once we have fully invested the proceeds of this offering and acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized properties, our aggregate debt financing, on a property-level basis, excluding any debt at the REIT level or on assets under development or renovation, will be between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, constructing and/or renovating our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion.

Operating Policies

Interest Rate Risk Management / Hedging Activities. We may engage in hedging transactions to protect our investment portfolio and variable rate leverage from interest rate fluctuations and other changes in market conditions. These transactions may include interest rate swaps, the purchase or sale of interest rate collars, caps or floors, options, mortgage derivatives and other hedging instruments. These instruments may be used to hedge as much of the interest rate risk as we determine is in the best interest of our stockholders, given the cost of such hedges and the need to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We may from time to time enter into interest rate swap agreements to offset the potential adverse effects of rising interest rates under certain short-term repurchase agreements. We may elect to bear a level of interest rate risk that could otherwise be hedged when our Manager believes, based on all relevant facts, that bearing such risk is advisable or economically unavoidable.

Equity Capital Policies. Our charter authorizes us to issue 10,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 9,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 1,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. As of the date of this offering circular, we have issued 100 shares of common stock to our Sponsor. We will issue up to 500,000 shares of our common stock in this offering. Our Board of Directors may increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock without stockholder approval. After your purchase in this offering, our Board of Directors may elect to (i) sell additional shares in this or future offerings; (ii) issue equity interests in private offerings; or (iii) otherwise issue additional shares of our capital stock. To the extent we issue additional equity interests after your purchase in this offering your percentage ownership interest in us would be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings, the use of the proceeds and the value of our real estate investments, you may also experience dilution in the book value and fair value of your shares and in the earnings and dividends per share.

Disposition Policies

Ideally we want to buy and hold our property acquisitions for the long-term. However, if an investment reaches what we believe to be its optimum value we will consider disposing of the investment and may do so for the purpose of either distributing the net sale proceeds to our stockholders or investing the proceeds in other assets that we believe may produce a higher overall future return to our stockholders.

The determination of when a particular investment should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing and projected economic conditions, whether the value of the property or other investment is anticipated to decline substantially, whether we could apply the proceeds from the sale of the asset to make other investments consistent with our investment objectives, whether disposition of the asset would allow us to increase cash flow, and whether the sale of the asset would constitute a prohibited transaction under the Code or would impact our status as a REIT. Our ability to dispose of property during the first few years following its acquisition is restricted to a substantial extent as a result of our REIT status. Under applicable provisions of the Code regarding prohibited transactions by REITs, a REIT that sells a property other than foreclosure property that is deemed to be inventory or property held primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business is deemed a “dealer” with respect to any such property and is subject to a 100% penalty tax on the net income from any such transaction unless the sale qualifies for a statutory safe harbor from application of the 100% tax.

As a result, our Manager will attempt to structure any disposition of our properties with respect to which our Manager believes we could be viewed as a dealer in a manner to avoid this penalty tax through reliance on the safe harbor available under the Code or through the use of a TRS. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Our Company.” Alternatively, the risk of incurring the 100% tax may require the Manager to forgo an otherwise attractive selling opportunity. When we determine to sell a particular property or other investment, we will seek to achieve a selling price that maximizes the capital appreciation for investors based on then-current market conditions. We cannot assure you that this objective will be realized. The selling price of a property will be determined in large part by the amount of rent payable by the tenants. The terms of payment will be affected by custom in the area in which the property being sold is located and the then prevailing economic conditions.

Market conditions, our status as a REIT, QOF and other factors could cause us to delay the commencement of our liquidation or other liquidity event. Even after we decide to liquidate, we are under no obligation to conclude our liquidation within a set time because the timing of the sale of our assets will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of the areas in which the properties are located and federal income tax effects on stockholders that may prevail in the future, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to liquidate our assets. After commencing a liquidation, we would continue in existence until all properties are sold and our other assets are liquidated. In general, the federal income tax rules applicable to REITs will require us to complete our liquidation within 24 months following our adoption of a plan of liquidation. Compliance with this 24-month requirement could require us to sell assets at unattractive prices, distribute unsold assets to a “liquidating trust” with potentially unfavorable tax consequences for our stockholders, or terminate our status as a REIT.

Plan of Operation

General

We were recently formed as a Maryland corporation to invest in and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate properties. We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire a portfolio of qualified opportunity zone investments with a focus on markets where we feel that the risk-return characteristics are favorable. We may also invest, to a limited extent, in other real estate-related assets. We plan to diversify our portfolio by investment risk with the goal of attaining a portfolio of real estate assets that provide current income and/or the potential for appreciation in value.

Our Manager will manage our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of investments. Our Manager also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the direction and oversight of our Manager’s investment committee. Our Manager will also provide asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf.

The Company intends to conduct its operations such that it is treated as a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) within the meaning of Subchapter Z of the Code, although no assurances can be provided in this regard. As a QOF we will concentrate on the identification, acquisition and development or redevelopment of properties located within “qualified opportunity zones.” At least 90% of our assets will consist of qualified opportunity zone property, which is required of us to be a “qualified opportunity fund.”

We also intend to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Code on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. If we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute dividends to our stockholders. We are structured as an UPREIT, and we will own all of our assets and conduct all of our business through our Operating Partnership, which was formed in June 2020, either directly or through its subsidiaries. We will serve as the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and our percentage of ownership interest will increase or decrease in connection with the number of shares of our common stock that we sell. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income and cash available for distribution. However, we believe that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund, and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes thereafter. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Competition

Our net income depends, in large part, on our ability to source, acquire and manage investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, other QOFs, private real estate funds, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital available to them than we have. In addition, there are numerous REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable for us. Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, amount of capital to be invested per investment and underwriting standards. To the extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting standards when evaluating potential investments than we are, our investment volume and profit margins for our investment portfolio could be impacted. Our competitors may also be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may succeed in buying the assets that we have targeted for acquisition. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively in each facet of our business, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from this offering to conduct our operations. We have obtained and will continue to obtain the capital required to purchase new investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of this offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations. If we are unable to raise substantial gross offering proceeds, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

Our aggregate targeted property-level leverage, excluding any debt at the REIT level or on assets under development or renovation, after we have acquired a substantial portfolio of stabilized properties is between 50-70% of the greater of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. During the period when we are acquiring, constructing and/or renovating our investments, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion in light of then-current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, market values of our assets, general conditions in the market for debt and equity securities, growth and acquisition opportunities or other factors. For information regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from this offering, see “Estimated Use of Proceeds.”

Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in this offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to pay dividends.

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our Manager in connection with the management of our assets and costs incurred by our Manager and its affiliates in providing services to us. In addition, we will be required to pay certain fees and expenses to our third party administrative and processing agent for administrative and processing services in connection with this offering, as discussed under “Plan of Distribution—Administrative and Processing Agent.” For a discussion of the compensation to be paid to our Manager, see “Management Compensation”.

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT commencing on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our Board of Directors may authorize dividends in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status and/or avoid such taxes on retained taxable income and gains depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. Provided we have sufficient available cash flow, we intend to authorize and declare dividends based on daily record dates and pay dividends on a quarterly or other periodic basis. We have not established a minimum distribution level. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Market Outlook — Real Estate Finance Markets

The commercial real estate market, including capital and credit markets continue to struggle due to the Covid-19 shut downs. As we look ahead we believe the economy will continue to rebound as improved Covid-19 testing and treatments continue to be deployed. We believe fundamentals, transactions, and commercial real estate lending activities will continue to strengthen in the United States core and surrounding metropolitan markets. We also expect the trend of foreign direct investments in United States markets and real estate assets to continue. Furthermore, we expect that the assistance provided by government supported programs and commitments will further support the United States capital markets in the immediate future.

If markets continue to strengthen, the competition for risk-adjusted yield will increase. We believe our Sponsor’s platform provides us with a competitive edge in searching for value and attractive opportunities across wider markets and our target property types during a period of increased competition. Additionally, innovative funding options and quicker closing timelines from our Sponsor allow for greater financing availability in a period of rising competition amongst capital providers.

However, risks related to interest rate hikes and regulatory uncertainty could adversely affect growth and the values of our investments. In the event market fundamentals deteriorate, our real estate portfolio or the collateral security in any loan investment we make may be impaired because of lower occupancy, lower rental rates, and/or declining values. Further, these circumstances may materially impact the cost and availability of credit to borrowers, hampering the ability of our Manager to acquire new loans or investments with attractive risk-reward dynamics.

Over the short term, we remain cautiously optimistic about the opportunity to acquire investments offering attractive risk-adjusted returns in our targeted investment markets. However, we recognize disruptions in financial markets can occur at any time. By targeting qualified opportunity zone investments, we believe we will remain well positioned, as compared to our competitors, in the event current market dynamics deteriorate.

Valuation Policies

Our NAV per share will be calculated by our Manager, and approved by our Board of Directors, at the end of each fiscal quarter on a fully diluted basis using a process that reflects several components, including (1) estimated values of each of our commercial real estate assets and investments, including related liabilities, based upon (a) market capitalization rates, comparable sales information, interest rates and net operating income, and (b) in certain instances individual appraisal reports of the underlying real estate provided by an independent valuation expert, (2) the price of liquid assets for which third party market quotes are available, (3) accruals of our periodic dividends and (4) estimated accruals of our operating revenues and expenses. Specifically, our Manager will calculate NAV primarily utilizing market capitalization rate methodology. The market capitalization rate methodology is summarized below.

Market Capitalization Rate Methodology – Our Manager will estimate the NAV of the Company’s ownership interest in an investment by applying a market capitalization rate to the projected or actual net operating income generated by that investment. The Manager will determine the market capitalization rate based on completed sales and/or quoted prices in active marketing of comparable assets. Comparable sales are identified by reviewing recent sales of similar vintage in a defined geographic region that are comparable in quality of improvements and tenancy.

We expect that the NAV calculations described above will primarily be undertaken by our Sponsor who will perform work on behalf of our Manager pursuant to the support agreement between our Manager and our Sponsor.

In instances where we determine that an independent appraisal of the real estate asset is necessary, including, but not limited to, instances where our Manager is unsure of its ability on its own to accurately determine the estimated values of our commercial real estate assets and investments, or instances where third party market values for comparable properties are either nonexistent or extremely inconsistent, we may engage an appraiser that has expertise in appraising commercial real estate assets, to act as our independent valuation expert. The independent valuation expert will not be responsible for, or prepare, our NAV per share. However, we may hire a third party to calculate, or assist with calculating, the NAV per share.

The use of different judgments or assumptions would likely result in different estimates of the value of our real estate assets. Moreover, although we evaluate and provide our NAV per share on a quarterly basis, our NAV per share may fluctuate in the interim, so that the NAV per share in effect for any fiscal quarter may not reflect the precise amount that might be paid for your shares in a market transaction. Further, our published NAV per share may not fully reflect certain material events to the extent that they are not known or their financial impact on our portfolio is not immediately quantifiable. Any resulting potential disparity in our NAV per share may be in favor of either stockholders who redeem their shares, or stockholders who buy new shares, or existing stockholders.

Our goal is to provide a reasonable estimate of the NAV per share on a quarterly basis. However, the majority of our assets will consist of commercial real estate investments and, as with any commercial real estate valuation protocol, the conclusions reached by our Manager will be based on a number of judgments, assumptions and opinions about future events that may or may not prove to be correct. The use of different judgments, assumptions or opinions would likely result in different estimates of the value of our commercial real estate assets and investments. In addition, for any given quarter, our published NAV per share may not fully reflect certain material events, to the extent that the financial impact of such events on our portfolio is not immediately quantifiable. As a result, the quarterly calculation of our NAV per share may not reflect the precise amount that might be paid for your shares in a market transaction, and any potential disparity in our NAV per share may be in favor of either stockholders who redeem their shares, or stockholders who buy new shares, or existing stockholders. However, to the extent quantifiable, if a material event occurs in between quarterly updates of NAV that would cause our NAV per share to change by 10% or more from the last disclosed NAV, we will disclose the updated NAV per share and the reason for the change in an offering circular supplement as promptly as reasonably practicable. Note, in addition, that the determination of our NAV is not based on, nor intended to comply with, fair value standards under GAAP and our NAV may not be indicative of the price that we would receive for our assets at current market conditions.

Quarterly NAV Per Share Adjustments

We set our initial offering price at $100.00 per share, which is the purchase price of our common stock as of the date of this offering circular. The per share purchase price will be adjusted every fiscal quarter as of January 1^st, April 1^st, July 1^st and October 1^st of each year (or as soon as commercially reasonable and announced by us thereafter) and will equal the sum of our NAV divided by the number of shares outstanding as of the close of business on the last business day of the prior fiscal quarter.

We will file with the SEC on a quarterly basis an offering circular supplement disclosing the quarterly determination of our NAV per share that will be applicable for such fiscal quarter, which we refer to as the pricing supplement. Except as otherwise set forth in this offering circular, we will disclose, on a quarterly basis in an offering circular supplement filed with the SEC, the principal valuation components of our NAV.

Contractual Obligations and Other Long-Term Liabilities

As of July 31, 2020, we did not have any contractual obligations or other long-term liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of July 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

Our residential leases are expected to typically be for one-year terms, which should minimize any negative impact from inflation. We expect that substantially all of our non-residential leases will provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, substantially all of those leases will provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

Results of Operations

We were formed on June 19, 2020 and, as of the date of this offering circular, we have not commenced operations. Our management is not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition, management and operation of real estate and real estate related investments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are critical. We consider these policies critical because we believe that understanding these policies is critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Additionally, these policies may involve significant management judgments and assumptions, or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Real Estate Investments

We will record acquired real estate at cost and make assessments as to the useful lives of depreciable assets. We will have to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We will consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

For operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold, we will present them as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties intended to be sold to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet. We will deem the intent to sell to exist and utilize the “held for sale” designation when a non-refundable deposit or option payment has been made by a prospective buyer.

When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, we will review the asset for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition.

These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.

If impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, it is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

We will record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We will amortize any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, which we expect will range from one month to ten years.

We will measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Our estimates of value are expected to be made using methods similar to those used by independent appraiser. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.

We will also consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, we will also include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. We will also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.

The total amount of other intangible assets acquired will be further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by us in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.

We will amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense in that period.

The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the fair value of these assets and liabilities, which could impact the amount of our reported net income. These estimates are subject to change until all information is finalized, which is generally within one year of the acquisition date.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

Proper valuation of financial instruments is a critical component of our financial statement preparation. ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

We will categorize our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets will be categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability (examples include private equity investments, commercial mortgage backed securities, and long-dated or complex derivatives including certain foreign exchange options and long dated options on gas and power).

The fair values of our financial instruments will be based on observable market prices when available. Such prices will be based on the last sales price on the date of determination, or, if no sales occurred on such day, at the “bid” price at the close of business on such day and if sold short at the “ask” price at the close of business on such day. Interest rate swap contracts will be valued based on market rates or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers. Generally, these prices will be provided by a recognized financial data service provider.

Fair Value Option

ASC 825 “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASC 825”) provides a fair value option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value for assets and liabilities for which the election is made will be recognized in earnings as they occur. ASC 825 permits the fair value option election on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition. We will determine the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for which the ASC 825 election is made pursuant to the guidance in ASC 820.

Revenue Recognition

Real Estate

We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and record amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that a tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.

We make estimates of the collectability of our tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent receivable, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, we will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.

Real Estate Loans Receivable

We will recognize interest income from our real estate debt investments on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. We will recognize fees, discounts, premiums, anticipated exit fees and direct cost over the term of the loan as an adjustment to the yield. We will recognize fees on commitments that expire unused at expiration.

Related Party Loans and Warehousing of Assets

If we have sufficient funds to acquire only a portion of a real estate investment then, in order to cover the shortfall, we may obtain a related party loan from our Sponsor or its affiliates. Each related party loan will be an obligation of ours, that is payable solely to the extent that such related party loan remains outstanding. As we sell additional shares of common stock in this offering, we will use the proceeds of such sales to pay down the principal and interest of the related party loan, reducing the payment obligation of the related party loan, and our obligation to the holder of the related party loan. We may also utilize related party loans, from time to time, as a form of leverage to acquire real estate assets. From time to time we may borrow from our Sponsor at a market rate approved by the Independent Committee.

As an alternative means of acquiring investments for which we do not yet have sufficient funds, our Sponsor or its affiliates may close and fund a real estate investment prior to it being acquired by us. This ability to warehouse investments allows us the flexibility to deploy our offering proceeds as funds are raised. We may then acquire such investment at a price equal to the fair market value of such investment, provided that its fair market value is materially equal to its cost (i.e., the aggregate equity capital invested by our Sponsor or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition and during the warehousing of such investments, plus assumption of debt and any costs, such as accrued property management fees and transfer taxes, incurred during or as a result of the warehousing or, with respect to debt, the principal balance plus accrued interest net of any applicable servicing fees).

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management has determined that all recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or do not apply to the Company’s operations.

Extended Accounting Transition Period

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under part F/S of Regulation A, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowing.

Overview of Our Sponsor

Our Sponsor was recently formed to create tax efficient investment vehicles customized for the significant changes to federal tax law brought about by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Our Sponsor has put in place a team of executives, advisors and directors who bring decades of experience in investments and real estate acquisition and development. Additionally, our sponsor has funded and will continue to fund this equity offering until the company is operational at which time the sponsor may be reimbursed. We have no prior operating history. See “Management” for further details.

Description of Capital Stock and Certain Provisions of Maryland Law, our Charter and Bylaws

The following description of our capital stock, certain provisions of Maryland law and certain provisions of our charter and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to Maryland law and our charter and bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part. See “Additional Information.” References in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” refer to Park View OZ REIT Inc

General

We were incorporated in Maryland as a corporation on June 19, 2020. Our charter authorizes us to issue: (i) 9,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We may increase the number of shares of common or preferred stock without stockholder consent. At this time, we have not issued any preferred stock. As of the date of this offering circular, we have issued 100 shares of common stock to our Sponsor.

We intend to have a December 31^st fiscal year end. In addition, we intend to qualify as a REIT and to be taxed as a REIT under the Code on such date as determined by our Board of Directors, taking into consideration factors such as the timing of our ability to generate cash flows, our ability to satisfy the various requirements applicable to REITs and our ability to maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for additional details regarding the various requirements that we must satisfy in order to qualify as a REIT and maintain our status as a qualified opportunity fund.

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends as declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds, subject to any preferential rights of any preferred stock that we issue in the future. In any liquidation, each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to share (based on the percentage of shares held) in the assets that remain after we pay our liabilities and any preferential dividends owed to preferred stockholders. Holders of shares of our common stock will not have preemptive rights, which means that you will not have an automatic option to purchase any new shares that we issue, nor will holders of our shares of common stock have any preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption, or appraisal rights. Our common stock will be non-assessable by us upon our receipt of the consideration for which our Board of Directors authorized its issuance.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of shares of our common stock without certificates. We will not issue shares in certificated form. Information regarding restrictions on the transferability of our shares that, under Maryland law, would otherwise have been required to appear on our stock certificates will instead be furnished to stockholders upon request and without charge.

Through our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation (the “Transfer Agent”), we maintain a stock ledger that contains the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares that the stockholder holds. With respect to uncertificated stock, we will continue to treat the stockholder registered on our stock ledger as the owner of the shares until the new owner delivers a properly executed form to us, which form we will provide to any registered holder upon request.

Voting of Common Stock

Subject to the restrictions in our charter on transfer and ownership of shares and except as may otherwise be specified in the charter, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, including election of our directors. Therefore, the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock can elect the entire Board of Directors. Except as set forth in our charter, including any articles supplementary with respect to any series of preferred stock we may issue in the future, the holders of our common stock will possess exclusive voting power. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of its directors.

Preferred Stock

Our charter authorizes our Board of Directors to designate and issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without approval of our common stockholders. Our Board of Directors may determine the relative rights, preferences and privileges of each class or series of preferred stock so issued, which may be more beneficial than the rights, preferences, and privileges attributable to our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. Our Board of Directors has no present plans to issue preferred stock but may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval.

Preferred Stock to Meet 100 Investor REIT Requirement.

Following completion of this offering, to the extent necessary to assist us in obtaining a sufficient number of stockholders to meet certain of the qualification requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code, we may undertake to issue and sell up to approximately 125 shares of a new series of preferred stock in a private placement to up to approximately 125 investors who qualify as “accredited investors” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). The preferred stock is expected to be perpetual, pay an annual market dividend for securities of this type and be redeemable by us at a premium to the aggregate liquidation value. For example, if we issue 125 shares of preferred stock with a liquidation price of $1,000 per share and an annual dividend of 12.5%, we would raise additional capital of $125,000 and be required to be pay or set aside for payment, in the aggregate, approximately $15,625 annually, before any dividends on shares of our common stock could be made.

Meetings and Special Voting Requirements

An annual meeting of our stockholders will be held each year, on a date and at the time and place set by our Board of Directors.

Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the chairman of our Board of Directors, chief executive officer, president or our Board of Directors. In addition, a special meeting of the stockholders must be called to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting and the satisfaction by such stockholders of certain procedural requirements set forth in the bylaws.

The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at any stockholder meeting constitutes a quorum. The affirmative vote of a plurality of all votes cast is sufficient to elect a director. Unless otherwise provided by the Maryland General Corporation Law or our charter, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast is sufficient to approve any other matter which properly comes before the meeting.

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless declared advisable by its board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Except for amendments of our charter relating to the restrictions on transfer and ownership of shares and the vote required to amend certain provisions of our charter and except for those amendments permitted to be made without stockholder approval under Maryland law or by specific provision in the charter, any amendment to our charter will be valid only if it is declared advisable by our Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Restrictions on Ownership of Shares

Ownership Limit

To maintain our REIT qualification, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (including certain entities treated as individuals under the Code) during the last half of each taxable year. In addition, at least 100 persons who are independent of us and each other must beneficially own our outstanding shares for at least 335 days per 12-month taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Each of the requirements specified in the two preceding sentences will not apply to any period prior to the second year for which we elect to be taxable as a REIT. We may prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of shares so as to ensure our continued qualification as a REIT under the Code. However, we cannot assure you that this prohibition will be effective.

To help ensure that we meet these tests, our charter prohibits any person or group of persons from acquiring, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of more than 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding shares of common stock, or 9.8% by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding capital stock unless exempted by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may waive 9.8% ownership limitations with respect to a particular person if our Board of Directors receives evidence that ownership in excess of the limit will not jeopardize our REIT status. For purposes of this provision, we treat corporations, partnerships and other entities as single persons.

These 9.8% ownership limitations will apply as of the first date of the second taxable year for which we elect to be treated as a REIT. However, our charter will also prohibit any actual, beneficial or constructive ownership of our shares that causes us to fail to qualify as a REIT (including any ownership that would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such) and such ownership limitation shall not be waived. In addition, our charter prohibits a person from owning actually or constructively shares of our outstanding capital stock if such ownership would result in any of our income that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of the REIT rules to fail to qualify as such.

Any attempted transfer of our shares that, if effective, would result in a violation of our ownership limit or would otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT (including by virtue of us being “closely held” or through our receipt of related party tenant income) will be null and void and will cause the number of shares causing the violation to be automatically transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries. Any attempted transfer of our shares that, if effective, would result in our shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void. The prohibited transferee will not acquire any rights in the shares. The automatic transfer will be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the attempted transfer. We will designate a trustee of the trust that will not be affiliated with us or the prohibited transferee. We will also name one or more charitable organizations as a beneficiary of the share trust.

Shares held in trust will remain issued and outstanding shares and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other shares of the same class or series. The prohibited transferee will not benefit economically from any of the shares held in trust, will not have any rights to dividends or dividends, and will not have the right to vote or any other rights attributable to the shares held in the trust. The trustee will receive all dividends and dividends on the shares held in trust and will hold such dividends or dividends in trust for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. The trustee may vote any shares held in trust.

Within 20 days of receiving notice from us that any of our shares have been transferred to the trust for the charitable beneficiary, the trustee will sell those shares to a person designated by the trustee whose ownership of the shares will not violate the above restrictions. Upon the sale, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited transferee and to the charitable beneficiary as follows. The prohibited transferee will receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the prohibited transferee for the shares or, if the prohibited transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the trust (e.g., a gift, devise or other similar transaction), the market price (as defined in our charter) of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the trust and (ii) the price received by the trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares. Any net sale proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the prohibited transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary. If, prior to our discovery that shares have been transferred to the trust, the shares are sold by the prohibited transferee, then (i) the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and (ii) to the extent that the prohibited transferee received an amount for the shares that exceeds the amount he was entitled to receive, the excess will be paid to the trustee upon demand.

In addition, shares held in the trust for the charitable beneficiary will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer to the trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the market price at the time of the devise or gift) and (ii) the market price on the date we, or our designee, accept the offer. We will have the right to accept the offer until the trustee has sold the shares. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the prohibited transferee.

Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares in violation of the foregoing restrictions or who would have owned the shares that were transferred to any such trust must give us immediate written notice of such event, and any person who proposes or attempts to acquire or receive shares in violation of the foregoing restrictions must give us at least 15 days’ written notice prior to such transaction. In both cases, such persons will provide to us such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on our status as a REIT.

The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply until our Board of Directors determines it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. The 9.8% ownership limitations described above do not apply to any underwriter in an offering of our shares or to a person or persons exempted from the ownership limit by our Board of Directors based upon appropriate assurances that our qualification as a REIT would not be jeopardized.

Within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, every owner of 5% or more of our outstanding capital stock will be asked to deliver to us a statement setting forth the number of shares owned directly or indirectly by such person and a description of how such person holds the shares. Each such owner will also provide us with such additional information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of his or her beneficial ownership on our status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with our ownership limit.

In addition, our charter provides that, prior to the first date on which any class or series of shares of our capital stock constitutes “publicly-offered securities” (as defined in the Plan Assets Regulation), “benefit plan investors” may not hold, in the aggregate, 25 percent or more of the value of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. If benefit plan investors exceed this 25% limit, we may redeem their interests at a price equal to the then current NAV per share or transfer their interests to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary. See “ERISA Considerations—The 25% Limit” for more information.

Furthermore, our charter provides that, in the event we determine in our discretion that there is a material likelihood that we would be a fiduciary under applicable law with respect to an investor that is subject to ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (e.g., an IRA), we have the authority to redeem such investor’s interests at a price equal to the then current NAV per share.

These restrictions could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or change in control of us that might involve a premium price for our shares of common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Investment Criteria, Minimum Investment and Transfer Restrictions

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 18(b)(4)(D)(ii) of the Securities Act and Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A, purchasers of our common stock must be “qualified purchasers,” which means that they are required to satisfy certain investment criteria regarding their net worth or income. Purchasers must either (i) be an accredited investor or (ii) if you are not an accredited investor, the investment in the shares is not more than 10% of the greater of: (a) if you are a natural person: (1) your individual net worth, or joint net worth with your spouse, excluding the value of your primary residence; or (2) your individual income, or joint income with your spouse, received in each of the two most recent years and you have a reasonable expectation that an investment in the shares will not exceed 10% of your individual or joint income in the current year or (b) if you are not a natural person, (1) your revenue, as of your most recently completed fiscal year end; or (2) your net assets, as of your most recently completed fiscal year end. See “State Law Exemption and Purchase Restrictions” of this offering circular for more information.

No stockholder shall, without the prior written approval of our Board of Directors, transfer any shares of Capital Stock if, in the opinion of counsel, such transfer would result in our being required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. Any such transfer shall be void ab initio and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock. This restriction shall not apply at any time (i) that we have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act or are filing reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act or (ii) after our Board of Directors adopts a resolution to such effect.

All subsequent sales must comply with applicable state and federal securities laws.

The minimum investment required in this offering is 100 shares of common stock, or $10,000 based on the initial offering price of $100.00 per share, provided that our Manager has the discretion to accept smaller investments. Pursuant to a board policy, you may not transfer your shares of common stock in a manner that causes you or your transferee to own fewer than the number of shares of common stock required to meet the minimum purchase requirements, except for the following transfers without consideration: transfers by gift; transfers by inheritance; intrafamily transfers; family dissolutions; transfers to affiliates; and transfers by operation of law. These minimum investment requirements are applicable unless and until our shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange, and these requirements may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock. We cannot assure you that our shares of common stock will ever be listed on a national securities exchange.

Dividends

We expect that we will declare and pay dividends on a quarterly basis, or more or less frequently as advised by our Manager, in arrears, based on daily record dates. Any dividends we make will be following consultation with our Manager, and will be based on, among other factors, our present and reasonably projected future cash flow. We expect that we will set the rate of dividends at a level that will be reasonably consistent and sustainable over time. Neither we nor our Manager has pre-established a percentage range of return for dividends to stockholders. We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we pay dividends to our stockholders.

Generally, our policy will be to pay dividends from cash flow from operations. During our offering stage, when we may raise capital in this offering more quickly than we acquire income-producing assets, and for some period after our offering stage, we may not be able to pay dividends solely from our cash flow from operations. Further, because we may receive property income or other revenue at various times during our fiscal year and because we may need cash flow from operations during a particular period to fund capital expenditures and other expenses, we expect that at least during the early stages of our development and from time to time during our operational stage, we will declare dividends in anticipation of cash flow that we expect to receive during a later period and we will pay these dividends in advance of our actual receipt of these funds. In these instances, we expect to look to third party borrowings or lines of credit to fund our dividends. We may also fund such dividends from the sale of assets or other investments. Our charter permits us to pay dividends from any source, including offering proceeds or borrowings (which may constitute a return of capital), and our charter does not limit the amount of funds we may use from any source to pay such dividends. If we pay dividends from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for investment in properties and other assets.

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). If we meet the REIT qualification requirements, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – Requirements for Qualification – Annual Distribution Requirements.” Our Board of Directors may authorize dividends in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Dividends that you receive, and which are not designated by us as capital gain dividends, will generally be taxed as ordinary income to the extent they are from current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent any portion of your distribution is not from current or accumulated earnings and profits, it will not be subject to tax immediately; it will be considered a return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce the tax basis of your investment (and potentially result in taxable gain upon your sale of the stock). Dividends that constitute a return of capital, in effect, defer a portion of your tax until your investment is sold or we are liquidated, at which time you will be taxed at capital gains rates. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders of Our Stock —Distributions Generally”.

” for an additional discussion of these rules. However, because each investor’s tax considerations are different, we suggest that you consult with your tax advisor.

Business Combinations

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, certain “business combinations” (including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any interested stockholder, or an affiliate of such an interested stockholder, are prohibited for five years following the most recent date on which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder. Maryland law defines an interested stockholder as:

After such five-year period, any such business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

These supermajority approval requirements do not apply if, among other conditions, the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined in the Maryland General Corporation Law) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. In addition, a person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. The board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance with any terms and conditions determined by it.

These provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law do not apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by a corporation’s board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution exempting any business combinations between us and any other person or entity from the business combination provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and, consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any person as described above. As a result, any person described above may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders without compliance by our company with the supermajority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.

None of these provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. We have opted out of these provisions by resolution of our Board of Directors. However, our Board of Directors may, by resolution, opt in to the business combination statute in the future.

Control Share Acquisitions

The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that holders of “control shares” of a Maryland corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights with respect to any control shares except to the extent approved at a special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares of stock of a corporation in respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of such shares in the election of directors: (a) a person who makes or proposes to make a control share acquisition; (b) an officer of the corporation; or (c) an employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:

Control shares do not include shares that the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses and making an “acquiring person statement” as described in the Maryland General Corporation Law), may compel our Board of Directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares acquired or to be acquired in the control share acquisition. If no request for a special meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting.

If voting rights of control shares are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights, unless these specific appraisal rights are eliminated under the charter or bylaws.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to: (a) shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or (b) acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation.

Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our stock. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated by the board at any time in the future.

Exclusive Forum

Our bylaws contain a forum selection provision designating the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Maryland (or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland) as the sole and exclusive forum for derivative claims brought on our behalf, claims against any of our directors, officers or other employees alleging a breach of duty owed to us or our stockholders, claims against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law or our charter or bylaws, claims against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, and any other claims brought by or on behalf of any stockholder of record or any beneficial owner of our common stock (either on his, her or its own behalf or on behalf of any series or class of shares of our stock or any group of our stockholders) against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, unless we consent to an alternative forum. The portion of our forum selection provision designating the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Maryland as the exclusive forum for certain claims would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, as such claims fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts, however the portion of our forum selection provision designating the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, in Baltimore, Maryland would apply to any such claims. Our forum selection provision would apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act. Our forum selection provision does not relieve us of our duties to comply with, and our stockholders cannot waive our compliance with, the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Moreover, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce our forum selection provision, with respect to claims brought under the federal securities laws or otherwise.

Indemnification and Limitation of Directors’ and Officers’ Liability

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:

Our charter contains such a provision that eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and do not generally affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

Our charter also authorizes our company, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to obligate our company to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer of our company and at the request of our company, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, co-investment, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her service in any such capacity and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding.
