(the "Registrant") formed a special committee (the "Special Committee") of the Board, consisting solely of the independent directors of the Registrant, to conduct a review of a potential strategic alternative that the Board believes could, among other things, help scale the Registrant's portfolio and potentially enhance stockholder value. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">The Special Committee has&#160;engaged&#160;SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. to act as a financial advisor to the Special Committee and assist the Special Committee in the process of reviewing a strategic alternative. There can be no assurance that this strategic alternative review process will result in a strategic alternative being pursued or if pursued, that any such transaction would ultimately be consummated. The Registrant will provide updates on this process when it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required based on the then-current facts and circumstances.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Temporary Suspension of Registrant's Primary Offering </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">In connection with this strategic alternative review process, on August 16, 2018, the Board approved the temporary suspension of the primary portion of the Registrant's follow-on offering (the "Primary Offering"), effective August 17, 2018. The Board believes that it would be in the best interest of the Registrant and its stockholders to temporarily suspend the Primary Offering to allow the Special Committee to evaluate this potential strategic alternative and, if appropriate and at the appropriate time, recommence its follow-on offering in the retail marketplace. The Registrant&#8217;s policy will be to accept subscription agreements only if they are signed and dated on or before the close of business on August 17, 2018. The accounts must be fully funded and in good order no later than the close of business on August 31, 2018 for non-custodial held account investments and September 21, 2018 for custodial held account investments. At this time, the Registrant intends to continue to offer and sell shares of its common stock in the offering pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan, and continue to repurchase shares pursuant to the Registrant's share redemption program. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Disclaimer on Forward-Looking Statements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements relate to future events and anticipated results of operations, business strategies, and other aspects of our operations or operating results. In many cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;objective,&#8221; &#8220;guidance,&#8221; &#8220;outlook,&#8221; &#8220;effort,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;budget,&#8221; &#8220;projection,&#8221; &#8220;goal,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;target&#8221; or similar words. Statements may be forward-looking even in the absence of these particular words. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the Registrant expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, there can be no assurance that such expectation or belief will result or be achieved.  Statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including statements relating to the pursuit of a potential strategic alternative, the potential for growth and potential enhancement of stockholder value are forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risk that for a variety of reasons we may not be able to execute on our strategic plans and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Registrant's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
