common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, rights and units, and the Operating Partnership may sell debt securities (including related guarantees by us), in each case in one or more offerings from time to time. In addition, selling
security holders may from time to time be named in a prospectus supplement and sell certain of our securities. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we, the Operating Partnership or any selling security holder may
offer. Each time we, the Operating Partnership or any selling security holder offers or sells securities pursuant to this registration statement, we, the Operating Partnership or the selling security holder will provide a prospectus supplement

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a self-managed and fully-integrated self storage REIT and a premier owner and operator of self storage facilities in the United States
and Canada. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January&nbsp;8, 2013. Our year end is December 31. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We focus on the acquisition,
ownership, and operation of self storage properties located primarily within the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, throughout the United States and Canada. As of September&nbsp;30, 2025, based on the Inside Self Storage <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Top-Operators</FONT> List ranking for 2025, and before accounting for our October&nbsp;1, 2025 acquisition of Argus Professional Storage Management, LLC (&#8220;Argus&#8221;), we were the 10th largest owner and operator of
self storage properties in the United States based on number of properties, units, and rentable square footage. As of September&nbsp;30, 2025, our wholly-owned portfolio consisted of 177 operating self storage properties diversified across 20
states, the District of Columbia, and Canada comprising approximately 121,800 units and 13.9&nbsp;million net rentable square feet. Additionally, we owned a 50% equity interest in 12 unconsolidated real estate ventures located in Canada, which
included ten operating self storage properties, one property which is being developed into a self storage property, and another parcel of land that we intend to develop. Further, through our Managed REIT Platform (as defined below), we serve as the
sponsor of Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc., a publicly-registered <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-traded</FONT> REIT (&#8220;SST VI&#8221;), Strategic Storage Growth Trust III, Inc., a private REIT (&#8220;SSGT III&#8221;), and Strategic
Storage Trust X, a private net asset value REIT launched in January 2025, (&#8220;SST X&#8221; and together with SST VI and SSGT III, the &#8220;Managed REITs&#8221;), additionally, we manage one other self storage property for an affiliated entity,
which pays us fees, as applicable, to manage such property. Inclusive of this aforementioned property, the Managed REITs, and the properties owned by Delaware statutory trusts (&#8220;DSTs&#8221;) sponsored and operated pursuant to a lease with the
DSTs by one of the Managed REITs, in total, as of September&nbsp;30, 2025, we managed 49 operating self storage properties which we did not directly own. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our primary business model is focused on owning and operating high quality self storage properties in high growth markets in the United States
and Canada. We finance our portfolio through a diverse capital strategy which includes cash generated from operations, borrowings under our syndicated revolving line of credit, secured and unsecured debt financing, equity offerings and joint
ventures. Our business model is designed to maximize cash flow available for distribution to our stockholders and to achieve sustainable long-term growth in cash flow in order to maximize long-term stockholder value at acceptable levels of risk. We
execute our organic growth strategy by pursuing revenue-optimizing and expense-minimizing opportunities in the operations of our existing portfolio. We execute our external growth strategy by developing, redeveloping, acquiring and managing self
storage facilities in the United States and Canada both internally and through our Managed REITs, and we look to acquire properties that are physically stabilized, recently developed, in various stages of lease up or at certificate of occupancy. We
seek to acquire undermanaged facilities that are not operated by institutional operators, where we can implement our proprietary management and technology to maximize net operating income. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As noted above, on October&nbsp;1, 2025, we acquired Argus, a third-party self storage property management company. The principal assets
acquired were property management contracts, covering the management of more than 225 properties and 400 employees (as of September&nbsp;30, 2025), and an operating lease for their corporate headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, as well as other
intellectual and personal property. We plan to continue to expand our third-party management platform in both Canada and the United States, either by scaling our Argus third-party management platform or through additional investments in or
acquisitions of third-party management firms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have provided financing to the Managed REITs in the form of mezzanine loans, bridge
loans, promissory notes, and preferred equity, as applicable. We intend to continue in this practice going forward, if necessary. We may look to further expand our lending practice to self storage facilities outside of the Managed REITs, potentially
to third party managed properties or joint venture properties. We may enter into joint ventures </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As an operating business, self storage requires a much greater focus on strategic planning and tactical operation plans. Our <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-house</FONT> call center allows us to centralize our sales efforts as we capture new business over the phone, email, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">web-based</FONT> chat, and text mediums. As we have grown our
portfolio of self storage facilities, we have been able to consolidate and streamline a number of aspects of our operations through economies of scale. We also utilize our digital marketing breadth and expertise which allows us to acquire customers
efficiently by leveraging our portfolio size and technological expertise. To the extent we acquire facilities in clusters within geographic regions, we generally see property management efficiencies resulting in reduction of personnel and other
administrative costs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As mentioned above, we, through our subsidiaries, currently serve as the sponsor of SST VI, SSGT III, and SST X. We
operate the properties owned by the Managed REITs, the properties owned by the DSTs sponsored and operated pursuant to a lease with the DSTs by one of the Managed REITs, which together with one other self storage property we manage consist of, as of
September&nbsp;30, 2025, 49 operating self storage properties, approximately 40,000 units and approximately 4.4&nbsp;million rentable square feet. In addition, we have the internal capability to originate, structure and manage additional self
storage investment programs (the &#8220;Managed REIT Platform&#8221;), which would be sponsored by SmartStop REIT Advisors, LLC, our indirect subsidiary. We generate asset management fees, property management fees, acquisition fees, and other fees
and also receive substantially all of the tenant protection program revenue earned by our Managed REITs. For the property management and advisory services that we provide, we are reimbursed for certain expenses that otherwise helps to offset our net
operating expense burden. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. To the extent we continue to qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be
subject to U.S. federal income tax on our REIT taxable income to the extent that we distribute annually 100% of our REIT taxable income (including capital gains and computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction) to our stockholders. We
serve as the sole general partner of, and operate our business through, the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership enables us to facilitate additional tax deferred acquisitions using units of limited partnership interest as consideration
for these transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal offices are located at 10 Terrace Road, Ladera Ranch, California 92694, and our telephone number is

number of authorized shares of stock of any class or series. As of the date of this prospectus, 55,363,743 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. </P>

to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our Board, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of the directors then
standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares of common stock will not be able to elect any directors. In uncontested elections, directors are elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes cast &#8220;for&#8221; and
&#8220;against&#8221; each director nominee. In contested elections, a plurality of all votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may, at our option, elect to offer depositary shares rather than full shares of preferred stock. Each depositary share will represent
ownership of and entitlement to all rights and preferences of a fraction of a share of preferred stock of a specified series (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). The applicable fraction will be specified in a prospectus
supplement. The shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares will be deposited with a depositary named in the applicable prospectus supplement, under a deposit agreement among us, the depositary and the holders of the certificates
evidencing depositary shares (referred to hereafter as &#8220;depositary receipts&#8221;). Depositary receipts will be delivered to those persons purchasing depositary shares in the offering. The depositary will be the transfer agent, registrar and
dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares. Holders of depositary receipts agree to be bound by the deposit agreement, which requires holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and paying certain charges. </P>

all cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the series of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by such
holders on the relevant record date, which will be the same date as the record date fixed by us for the applicable series of preferred stock. The depositary, however, will distribute only such amount as can be distributed without attributing to any
depositary share a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary receipts then outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary
receipts entitled thereto, in proportion, as nearly as may be practicable, to the number of depositary shares owned by such holders on the relevant record date, unless the depositary determines (after consultation with us) that it is not feasible to
make such distribution, in which case the depositary may (with our approval) adopt any other method for such distribution as it deems equitable and appropriate, including the sale of such property (at such place or places and upon such terms as it
may deem equitable and appropriate) and distribution of the net proceeds from such sale to such holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No distribution will be made in

subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, the owner of the depositary shares evidenced thereby is entitled to delivery of the number of whole shares of preferred stock and all money and other property, if any, represented by such depositary
shares. Partial shares of preferred stock will not be issued. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of preferred
stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess number of depositary shares. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such

such amendment has been approved by at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. No such amendment may impair the right, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, of any owner of any depositary shares to surrender the
depositary receipt evidencing such depositary shares with instructions to the depositary to deliver to the holder of the preferred stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory

securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. If securities are issued in book entry form, they will be represented by
one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the securities. The Depository Trust Company is expected to serve as depositary. Unless and until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for the global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such
depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by the depositary or any nominee of such depositary to a successor depositary or a nominee of such successor. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form
and in either temporary or permanent form. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a class or series of securities that differ from the terms described here will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to the securities or by us if the securities are offered and sold directly by us. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to the
depositary&#8217;s participants or persons that may hold interests through such participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records
maintained by the applicable depositary or its nominee (with respect to beneficial interests of participants) and records of the participants (with respect to beneficial interests of persons who hold through participants). The laws of some states
require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and laws may impair the ability to own, pledge or transfer beneficial interest in a global security. </P>

the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by such global security for all purposes under the applicable instrument defining the rights of a holder of the securities. Except as provided below or in the
applicable prospectus supplement, owners of beneficial interest in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual securities of the class or series represented by such global security registered in their names, will not receive

distribution authorized but unpaid will be paid when due to the trustee. Any dividend or distribution paid to the trustee will be held in trust for the charitable beneficiaries. Subject to Maryland law, the trustee will have the authority to rescind
as void any vote cast by the proposed transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust and to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiaries.
However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote. </P>

sell the shares to a person designated by the trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on transfer. Upon sale of the shares held in trust, the interest of the charitable beneficiaries
in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee (the transferee of the shares held in trust whose ownership would violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on
transfer) as follows. The intended transferee will receive the lesser of (1)&nbsp;the price paid by the intended transferee for the shares or, if the intended transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the
shares to be held in the trust, such as 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 (2)&nbsp;the price per share
received by the trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares. The trustee may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the intended transferee and are
owed by the intended transferee to the trustee. Any net sale proceeds in excess of the amount payable per share to the intended transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiaries. If, prior to our discovery that shares of stock have
been transferred to the trust, the shares are sold by the intended transferee, then the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and, to the extent that the intended transferee received an amount for the shares that exceeds the

gift, the market price at the time of the devise or gift, or (2)&nbsp;the market price on the date we, or our designee, accepts the offer. We will have the right to accept the offer until the shares held in trust are sold by the trustee of the
beneficial trust. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiaries in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee. We may reduce the amount payable to the
intended transferee by the amount of dividends and other distributions which have been paid to the intended transferee and are owed by the intended transferee to the trustee. We may pay the amount of such reduction to the trustee for the benefit of
the charitable beneficiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective for any reason to prevent
violation of the above limitations or our failing to qualify as a REIT, then the transfer of the number of shares that otherwise cause any person to violate the above limitations will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no
rights in such shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares of our stock in violation of the foregoing limitations or

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>A summary of the material terms and provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating
Partnership (&#8220;Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement&#8221;) is set forth below. This summary is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of Delaware law and the
Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. For more detail, please refer to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement itself, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. For purposes of this section, references to &#8220;we,&#8221; &#8220;our&#8221; and &#8220;us&#8221; refer to SmartStop. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Operating Partnership was
formed in January 2013 to acquire, own and operate properties on our behalf. We hold substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership or in single purpose entity subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. We are the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership, and we control the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly known as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust, or UPREIT, which structure is utilized generally to provide for the acquisition
of real property from owners who desire to defer taxable gain that would otherwise be recognized by them upon the disposition of their property. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A property owner may contribute property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units on a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> basis. In addition, the Operating Partnership is structured to make distributions with respect to OP units that will be equivalent to the distributions made to holders of our common stock. Finally, a
limited partner in the Operating Partnership may later exchange his or her OP units for shares of our common stock in a taxable transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement contains provisions that would allow, under certain circumstances, other persons
to merge into or cause the exchange or conversion of their interests for interests of the Operating Partnership. In the event of such a merger, exchange or conversion, the Operating Partnership would issue additional limited partnership interests,
which would be entitled to the same exchange rights as other limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, any such merger, exchange or conversion ultimately could result in the issuance of a substantial number of shares
of our common stock, thereby diluting the percentage ownership interest of other stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date of this prospectus, we own
approximately 94% of the common OP units. The remaining approximately 6% of the common OP units are owned by current and former employees, members of our executive management team, board members, or indirectly by Strategic Asset Management I, LLC
(f/k/a SmartStop Asset Management, LLC), our former sponsor, its affiliates, and unaffiliated third parties. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating
Partnership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Class&nbsp;A-1</FONT> Units </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;28, 2019, in connection with our self administration transaction, the Operating Partnership issued 2,174,739 <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Class&nbsp;A-1</FONT> limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership, or the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Class&nbsp;A-1</FONT> Units, and 820,826 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Class&nbsp;A-2</FONT> limited

partnership units in the Operating Partnership, including cash distributions and the allocation of any profits or losses in the Operating Partnership. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Class&nbsp;A-2</FONT> Units were convertible into <FONT

Partnership will be required. Such consent will be determined by a vote of the partners of the Operating Partnership, and we have agreed that our vote on such consent will be voted in proportion to the votes cast by our stockholders on the
Extraordinary Matter. The term &#8220;Extraordinary Matter&#8221; for purposes of this consent means any merger, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, share exchange, conversion, dissolution or charter amendment, in each case where the
vote of our stockholders is required under Maryland law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Additional Limited Partners </B></P>

for any partnership purpose at any time or from time to time, to the partners (including us as the general partner) or to other persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by us in our sole and absolute
discretion, all without the approval of any limited partner. Any additional partnership interests issued thereby may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to any common units, all as shall be determined by us in our sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of any limited partner,
subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation: (i)&nbsp;the allocations of items of partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of partnership interests; (ii)&nbsp;the right of each such class or series
of partnership interests to share in partnership distributions; and (iii)&nbsp;the rights of each such class or series of partnership interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Operating Partnership. In addition, we are authorized to cause
the Operating Partnership to issue partnership interests for less than fair market value if we conclude in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the Operating Partnership and us. </P>

Restated Limited Partnership Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership be operated in a manner that will enable us to (i)&nbsp;satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (ii)&nbsp;avoid any federal income or
excise tax liability, and (iii)&nbsp;ensure that the Operating Partnership will not be classified as a &#8220;publicly traded partnership&#8221; for purposes of Section&nbsp;7704 of the Code, which classification could result in the Operating
Partnership being taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Distributions and Allocations of Profits and Losses </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will distribute cash flow from operations
to its partners in accordance with their relative percentage interests on at least a quarterly basis in amounts we, as general partner, determine. The effect of these distributions will be that a holder of one unit of limited partnership interest in
the Operating Partnership will receive the same amount of annual cash flow distributions as the amount of annual distributions made to the holder of one of our shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similarly, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement provides that profits and taxable income are allocated to the
partners of the Operating Partnership in accordance with their relative percentage interests. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and corresponding Treasury Regulations, the effect of these allocations
will be that a holder of one unit of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership will be allocated, to the extent possible, taxable income for each taxable year in an amount equal to the amount of taxable income to be recognized by a
holder of one of our shares. Losses, if any, will generally be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the Operating Partnership. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Operating Partnership liquidates, debts and other obligations must be satisfied before the partners may receive any distributions. Any

qualification and taxation as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, which opinion
will be subject to customary exceptions, assumptions and qualifications and will be based on customary representations made by us. This opinion will not be binding on the IRS or the courts. We intend to continue to operate in a manner to qualify as
a REIT, but there is no guarantee that we will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet, through actual annual (or, in some cases, quarterly) operating results,
requirements relating to income, asset ownership, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership, and the various REIT qualification requirements imposed under the Code. Given the complex nature of the REIT qualification requirements, the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We own various direct and indirect interests in entities that are partnerships and limited liability companies for state law purposes. A
partnership or limited liability company that has a single owner, as determined under U.S. federal income tax laws, generally is disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Many of the partnerships and limited liability
companies owned by us currently are disregarded from their owners for U.S. federal income tax purposes because such entities are treated as having a single owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, the assets and liabilities, and
items of income, deduction, and credit, of such entities will be treated as our assets and liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the application of the various REIT qualification
requirements. An unincorporated domestic entity with two or more owners, as determined under the U.S. federal income tax laws, generally is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a REIT that is an owner in an
entity that is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the REIT is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the entity and as earning our allocable share of the gross income of the entity for purposes of the
applicable REIT qualification tests. Thus, our proportionate share of the assets and items of gross income of any partnership, joint venture, or limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is treated
as the assets and items of gross income of us for purposes of applying the various REIT qualification tests. For purposes of the 10% value test (described in &#8220;&#8212;Asset Tests&#8221;), our proportionate share is based on our proportionate
interest in the equity interests and certain debt securities issued by the entity. For all of the other asset and income tests, our proportionate share is based on our proportionate interest in the capital of the entity. A brief summary of the rules
governing the U.S. federal income taxation of partnerships and limited liability companies is set forth below in &#8220;&#8212;Tax Aspects of Our Ownership of Interests in Entities Taxable as Partnerships.&#8221; </P>

expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action
which could cause us to fail a gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In
such a case, we could fail to qualify as a REIT unless we were entitled to relief, as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Ownership of Interests in

indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. If a TRS owns more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also
be treated as a TRS. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary

not conducted on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">an&nbsp;arm&#8217;s-length&nbsp;basis,</FONT> such as any redetermined rents, redetermined deductions, excess interest or redetermined TRS service income. In general, redetermined rents are rents
from real property that are overstated as a result of any services furnished to any of a REIT&#8217;s tenants by its TRS, redetermined deductions and excess interest represent any amounts that are deducted by a TRS for amounts paid to its parent
REIT that are in excess of the amounts that would have been deducted based on arm&#8217;s length negotiations, and redetermined TRS service income is income of a TRS that is understated as a result of services provided to its parent REIT or on its
behalf. Rents will not constitute redetermined rents if they qualify for certain safe harbor provisions contained in the Code. Dividends paid to a parent REIT from a TRS will be treated as dividend income received from a corporation. The corporate
income tax liability of our TRSs may reduce the cash flow generated by us and our subsidiaries in the aggregate and limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and may affect our compliance with the gross income tests and asset

&#8220;dealer property.&#8221; Any losses incurred on sales of dealer property may not be used to offset gains from other prohibited transactions. The Code sets forth a safe harbor for REITs that wish to sell property without risking the imposition
of the 100% tax (the &#8220;Safe Harbor&#8221;). In general, under the Safe Harbor, a sale of property will not be treated as a sale of dealer property subject to the 100% tax if: (a)&nbsp;the REIT held the property for at least two years,
(b)&nbsp;the aggregate expenditures made by the REIT during the two years preceding the date of sale that are includible in the basis of the property do not exceed 30% of the net selling price, (c)&nbsp;in the case of land or improvements, the REIT
has held the property for at least two years for production of rental income, and (d)&nbsp;one of the following is true: (1)&nbsp;during the taxable year the REIT does not make more than seven sales of properties, (2)&nbsp;the aggregate adjusted
bases of properties sold during the year does not exceed 10% of the aggregate bases of all of the properties of the REIT at the beginning of the year, (3)&nbsp;the fair market value of properties sold during the year does not exceed 10% of the fair

Partnership, we intend to cause the Operating Partnership to hold its properties for investment with a view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring, developing and owning its properties and to make occasional sales of the
properties as are consistent with our investment objectives. We do not intend, and do not intend to permit the Operating Partnership or its subsidiary partnerships, to enter into any sales that are prohibited transactions. However, the IRS may
successfully contend that some or all of the sales made by the Operating Partnership or its subsidiary partnerships are prohibited transactions. We would be required to pay the 100% penalty tax on our allocable share of the gains resulting from any
such sales. The 100% penalty tax will not apply to gains from the sale of assets that are held through a TRS, but such income will be subject to regular U.S. federal corporate income tax. </P>

liabilities. Our hedging activities may include entering into interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, options to purchase these items, and futures and forward contracts. Income from a hedging transaction, including gain from the sale or disposition
of such a transaction, that is clearly identified as a hedging transaction as specified in the Code will not constitute gross income under, and thus will be exempt from, the 75% and 95% gross income tests. The term &#8220;hedging transaction,&#8221;
as used above, generally means (A)&nbsp;any transaction we enter into in the normal course of our business primarily to manage risk of (1)&nbsp;interest rate changes or fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made by us to acquire or
carry real estate assets, or (2)&nbsp;currency fluctuations with respect to an item of qualifying income under the 75% or 95% gross income test or any property which generates such income and (B)&nbsp;new transactions entered into to hedge the
income or loss from prior hedging transactions, where the property or indebtedness which was the subject of the prior hedging transaction was extinguished or disposed of. To the extent that we do not properly identify such transactions as hedges or
we hedge with other types of financial instruments, the income from those transactions is not likely to be treated as qualifying income for purposes of the gross income tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not
jeopardize our status as a REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Foreign Currency Gain.</I></B> Certain foreign currency gains will be excluded from gross income
for purposes of one or both of the gross income tests. &#8220;Real estate foreign exchange gain&#8221; will be excluded from gross income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Real estate foreign exchange gain generally includes foreign
currency gain attributable to any item of income or gain that is qualifying income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests, foreign currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of (or becoming or being the obligor under)
obligations secured by mortgages on real property or an interest in real property and certain foreign currency gain attributable to certain &#8220;qualified business units&#8221; of a REIT. &#8220;Passive foreign exchange gain&#8221; will be
excluded from gross income for purposes of the 95% gross income test. Passive foreign exchange gain generally includes real estate foreign exchange gain as described above, and also includes foreign currency gain attributable to any item of income
or gain that is qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test and foreign currency gain attributable to the acquisition or ownership of (or becoming or being the obligor under) obligations. These exclusions for real estate foreign
exchange gain and passive foreign exchange gain do not apply to certain foreign currency gain derived from dealing, or engaging in substantial and regular trading, in securities. Such gain is treated as nonqualifying income for purposes of both the
75% and 95% gross income tests. </P>

If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for the year if we are entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. We generally may make use of the

before we timely file our tax return for such year and paid on or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration, provided such payment is made during <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;12-month&nbsp;period</FONT> following
the close of such year. These distributions are treated as received by our stockholders in the year in which they are paid. This is so even though these distributions relate to the prior year for purposes of the annual distribution requirement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to be taken into account for purposes of annual distribution requirement, except as provided below, the amount distributed must not
be preferential&#8212;i.e., every stockholder of the class of stock to which a distribution is made must be treated the same as every other stockholder of that class, and no class of stock may be treated other than according to its dividend rights
as a class. This preferential limitation will not apply to distributions made by us, provided we qualify as a &#8220;publicly offered REIT.&#8221; We believe that we are, and expect we will continue to be, a publicly offered REIT. To the extent that
we do not distribute all of our net capital gain, or distributes at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our REIT taxable income, we will be required to pay regular U.S. federal corporate income tax on the undistributed amount. We believe that we have
made, and we intend to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement and to minimize our corporate tax obligations. In this regard, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement
authorizes us to take such steps as may be necessary to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute to its partners an amount sufficient to permit us to meet the annual distribution requirement and to minimize our corporate tax obligation. </P>

&#8220;deficiency dividends&#8221; to our stockholders in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In that case, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends,
subject to the 4% excise tax described below. However, we will be required to pay interest to the IRS based upon the amount of any deduction claimed for deficiency dividends. While the payment of a deficiency dividend will apply to a prior year for
purposes of the annual distribution requirement, it will be treated as an additional distribution to our stockholders in the year such dividend is paid. In addition, if a dividend we have paid with respect to a period for which we are not a publicly
offered REIT is treated as a preferential dividend, in lieu of treating the dividend as not counting toward satisfying the annual distribution requirement, the IRS may provide a remedy to cure such failure if the IRS determines that such failure is
(or is of a type that is) inadvertent or due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, we will be required to pay

an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. A publicly traded partnership generally is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but will not be so
treated if, for each taxable year beginning after December&nbsp;31, 1987 in which it was classified as a publicly traded partnership, at least 90% of the partnership&#8217;s gross income consisted of specified passive income, including real property
rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, interest, and dividends, or the &#8220;90% passive income exception.&#8221; The Treasury Regulations provide limited safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership.
Pursuant to one of those safe harbors, interests in a partnership will not be treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if (1)&nbsp;all interests in the partnership were issued in a transaction or
transactions that were not required to be registered under the Securities Act, and (2)&nbsp;the partnership does not have more than 100 partners at any time during the partnership&#8217;s taxable year. In determining the number of partners in a
partnership, a person owning an interest in a partnership, grantor trust, or S corporation that owns an interest in the partnership is treated as a partner in the partnership only if (1)&nbsp;substantially all of the value of the owner&#8217;s

contributed properties were to have a tax basis equal to its respective fair market value at the time of the contribution and (2)&nbsp;could cause us to be allocated taxable gain in the event of a sale of such contributed interests or properties in
excess of the economic or book income allocated to it as a result of such sale, with a corresponding benefit to the other partners in the Operating Partnership. An allocation described in clause (1)&nbsp;or (2)&nbsp;above might cause us or the other

corporate income tax. We do not expect a meaningful portion of our ordinary dividends to be eligible for taxation as qualified dividends. However, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017 and before
January&nbsp;1, 2026, stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates generally may deduct up to 20% of certain qualified business income, including &#8220;qualified REIT dividends&#8221; (generally, dividends received by a REIT stockholder
that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income), subject to certain limitations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any distribution
declared by us in October, November or December of any year on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by us and received by our stockholders on December&nbsp;31 of that year, provided that the distribution is actually paid
by us no later than January&nbsp;31 of the following year. Distributions made by us in excess of accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. holder&#8217;s basis and will reduce the
basis of the U.S. holder&#8217;s shares. Any distributions by us in excess of accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a U.S. holder&#8217;s basis in the U.S. holder&#8217;s shares of our stock will be treated as gain from the sale of such
shares. See &#8220;Dispositions of Capital Stock&#8221; below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Capital Gain Dividends.</I></B> Distributions to U.S. holders that
we properly designate as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year), without regard to the period for which a U.S. holder held our shares.
However, U.S. holders that are corporations may be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary income. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Retention of Net Capital Gains.</I></B> If we elect to retain and pay income tax on any net long-term capital gain, each of our U.S.
holders would include in income, as long-term capital gain, its proportionate share of this net long-term capital gain. Each of our U.S. holders would also receive a refundable tax credit for its proportionate share of the tax paid by us on such
retained capital gains and increase the basis of its shares of our stock in an amount equal to the amount of includable capital gains reduced by the share of refundable tax credit. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Dispositions of Capital Stock.</I></B> If a U.S. holder sells or disposes of shares of capital stock, the holder will recognize gain or
loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale or other disposition and the holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the shares.
This gain or loss, except as provided below, will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder&#8217;s holding period for such capital stock exceeds one year. However, if a U.S. holder recognizes a loss upon the sale or other disposition of
capital stock that it has held for six months or less, after applying certain holding period rules, the loss recognized will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent the U.S. holder received distributions from us which were required to
be treated as long-term capital gains. If a U.S. holder recognizes a loss upon a subsequent disposition of capital stock in an amount that exceeds a prescribed threshold, it is possible that the provisions of Treasury Regulations involving
&#8220;reportable transactions&#8221; could apply, with a resulting requirement to separately disclose the loss generating transactions to the IRS. While these regulations are directed towards &#8220;tax shelters,&#8221; they are written quite
broadly, and apply to transactions that would not typically be considered tax shelters. Significant penalties apply for failure to comply with these requirements. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors concerning any possible disclosure
obligation with respect to the receipt or disposition of capital stock, or transactions that might be undertaken directly or indirectly by us. Moreover, U.S. holders should be aware that we and other participants in transactions involving us
(including its advisors) might be subject to disclosure or other requirements pursuant to these regulations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Passive Activity
Losses and Investment Interest Limitations</I></B>. Distributions made by us and gain arising from the sale or exchange by a U.S. holder of capital stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a result, U.S. holders will not be able to
apply any &#8220;passive losses&#8221; against income or gain relating to capital stock. Distributions made by us, to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital, generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the
investment interest limitation. A U.S. holder that elects to treat capital gain dividends, qualified dividend income or capital gains from the disposition of capital stock as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation will
be taxed at ordinary income rates on such amounts. </P>

by the Operating Partnership. This discussion assumes the debt securities will be issued with less than a statutory de minimis amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons
purchasing the debt securities for cash at original issue and at their original &#8220;issue price&#8221; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities is sold to the
public for cash). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>U.S. Holders </I></B></P>

attributable to any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest to the extent not previously included in income) and the U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. A U.S. holder&#8217;s adjusted tax basis in a
debt security generally will be equal to the amount the U.S. holder paid for the debt security. Any gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the debt security for
more than one year at the time of such sale or other taxable disposition. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S.
holders, including individuals, generally will be taxable at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. </P>

30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on capital stock, interest income or gross proceeds paid to a &#8220;foreign financial institution&#8221; or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">a&nbsp;&#8220;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT>
entity&#8221; (each as defined in the Code), unless (1)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(2)&nbsp;the&nbsp;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT> entity either
certifies it does not have any &#8220;substantial United&nbsp;States owners&#8221; (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">or&nbsp;non-financial&nbsp;foreign</FONT> entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause
(1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain &#8220;specified United&nbsp;States persons&#8221; or &#8220;United States
owned foreign entities&#8221; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliant</FONT> foreign financial institutions and
certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on
capital stock and to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or redemption of capital stock or debt securities and interest income. However, under proposed Treasury Regulations that may be relied on pending finalization, the withholding tax on gross
proceeds (but not dividends or interest income) would be eliminated and, consequently, FATCA withholding on gross proceeds is not currently expected to apply. Because we may not know the extent to which a distribution is a dividend for U.S. federal
income tax purposes at the time it is made, for purposes of these withholding rules we may treat the entire distribution as a dividend. </P>

director or officer upon the corporation&#8217;s receipt of (a)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification and (b)&nbsp;a written undertaking by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. It is the position of the SEC
that indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and is unenforceable pursuant to Section&nbsp;14 of the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, we must indemnify and, without
requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, must pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to: (i)&nbsp;any individual who is a present or former director or
officer of us and who is made or threatened to be made a party to, or witness in, the proceeding by reason of his or her service in such capacity; or (ii)&nbsp;any individual who, while a director or officer of us and at our request, serves or has
served as a director, officer, member, manager, partner or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment trust, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise and who is made or

trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of another entity that the Indemnitee served in such capacity at our request, to indemnify such Indemnitee, and advance expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her, subject to certain exceptions and conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating

for or on behalf of the Operating Partnership or in connection with its business or affairs unless it is determined that indemnification is not permitted. </P>

or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>
