<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sotherly was formed in August 2004 to own, acquire, renovate and reposition full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotel properties located in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Mid-Atlantic</FONT> and Southern United States. On December&nbsp;21, 2004, Sotherly successfully completed its initial public offering and elected to be treated as a self-advised real estate investment trust
(&#147;REIT&#148;) for federal income tax purposes. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Sotherly Hotels Inc. owns approximately 88.8% of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners (including
certain of Sotherly&#146;s officers and directors) own the remaining units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date
of this prospectus supplement, our portfolio consists of eleven full-service, upscale and upper-upscale hotels with 2,838 rooms and approximately 149,435 square feet of meeting space as well as the commercial unit (consisting of the designated lobby
and front desk areas, offices, and certain other spaces) of the Hyde Resort&nbsp;&amp; Residences condominium hotel. Our eleven full service hotels are 100% owned by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and eight operate under the Hilton&#153;,
Crowne Plaza&#153;, DoubleTree&#153; and Sheraton&#153; brands, while three hotels operate independently of any brand affiliation. Our hotels are managed on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">day-to-day</FONT></FONT>
basis by MHI Hotels Services, LLC, which does business as, and which we refer to in this prospectus supplement as, Chesapeake Hospitality. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our portfolio
is concentrated in markets that we believe possess multiple demand generators and have significant barriers to entry for new product delivery, which are important factors for us in identifying hotel properties that we expect will be capable of
providing strong risk-adjusted returns. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our Strengths and Strategies </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Experienced Management Team.</I> Our top three senior executives have an average of 21 years of experience working in all facets of the lodging industry. We
expect to continue to benefit from our management team&#146;s extensive experience and significant relationships throughout the lodging industry. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Strong Geographic Growth Markets.</I> Most of our properties are located in, and we expect to continue to focus our investment strategies on, major growth
markets in the Southern United States, which we believe are characterized by population growth, economic expansion, growth in new businesses and growth in the resort, recreation and leisure segments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Stable, Diversified Hotel Portfolio.</I> We currently own eleven full services hotels and an interest in a condominium hotel in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Mid-Atlantic</FONT> and Southern United States and, for the nine-month period ended September&nbsp;30, 2017, our portfolio had average occupancy of more than 72% and an average daily rate of more than $141. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Focused Business Model on Full-Service Hotels.</I> All of our hotels are full-service hotels in the
upscale and upper-upscale categories. We expect to continue to focus our investment strategies on full-service hotels in the upscale and upper-upscale categories because we believe these types of hotels will outperform the broader U.S. hotel
industry, and thus offer the highest returns on invested capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Repositioning of Hotels.</I> We plan to reposition certain hotel properties as
independent hotels and will consider on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">case-by-case</FONT></FONT> basis upon the expiration of the respective franchise agreements or the acquisition of new hotel properties. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Significant Industry Relationships to Source Unique Acquisitions.</I> Our management team has extensive relationships with sellers and other lodging
industry participants, which we believe will continue to provide us with opportunities to source <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">off-market</FONT> acquisition opportunities that may not be available to our competitors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Disciplined Acquisition Focus.</I> We historically have sought, and expect to continue to seek, to acquire hotels that cater to both leisure and business
travelers in prime locations in markets with significant barriers to entry and significant demand generators such as large universities, airports, convention centers, corporate headquarters, sports venues, and office buildings. </P>

Centric Arlington Hotel in Arlington, Virginia </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;13, 2017, we entered into a hotel purchase and sale agreement to acquire the Hyatt
Centric Arlington hotel (the &#147;Arlington Hotel&#148;) located in Arlington, Virginia from RP/HH Rosslyn Hotel Owner, LP a third party seller (the &#147;Seller&#148;), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $81.0&nbsp;million (the
&#147;Arlington Acquisition&#148;). On January&nbsp;11, 2018, we entered into an amendment to the hotel purchase and sale agreement to provide an additional credit to the Seller at closing in the amount of $1.3&nbsp;million, following which the
aggregate purchase price for the Arlington Acquisition will be approximately $79.7&nbsp;million. Pursuant to the hotel purchase and sale agreement, as amended, we have agreed to purchase, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing
conditions, including entering into a new franchise agreement with Hyatt or making other arrangements to satisfy the obligations of the Seller under its existing Hyatt franchise agreement, the accuracy of representations and warranties contained in
the hotel purchase and sale agreement through closing, and conditions related to the operation and maintenance of the Arlington Hotel, the Seller&#146;s right, title, and interest in: (i)&nbsp;the Arlington Hotel; (ii)&nbsp;a ground lease for the
real property associated with the Arlington Hotel; and (iii)&nbsp;certain other tangible and intangible property relating to the Arlington Hotel. Pursuant to the hotel purchase and sale agreement, as amended, we have made an aggregate of
$2.0&nbsp;million of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-refundable</FONT> deposits on the Arlington Acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Arlington Hotel is located in the
Rosslyn submarket of Arlington, Virginia directly across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The hotel is a fifteen-story building with 318 guestrooms, including five suites, and 6,723 square feet of meeting space located on a ground lease on
approximately 0.82 acres and is across the street from the Rosslyn Metro station and less than five miles from the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The Seller completed a $6.2 million renovation of the hotel in 2016 as part of the
conversion of the hotel to Hyatt Centric. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We anticipate the closing of the Arlington Acquisition to occur no later than April 2018. The closing of the
Arlington Acquisition is not subject to a financing condition and the closing of this offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Arlington Acquisition. We expect to fund the purchase price of the Arlington Acquisition and related
transaction expenses through a combination of net proceeds from this offering and an aggregate of approximately $57&nbsp;million of first and second lien asset-level mortgage indebtedness (the &#147;Arlington Financing&#148;). We are currently
negotiating the terms of the Arlington Financing with potential lenders; however, we have not yet entered into a binding commitment letter or definitive loan documents and there can be no assurance that we will obtain the Arlington Financing on the
terms we anticipate or at all. In the event we do not obtain the Arlington Financing, we expect to fund the purchase price of the Arlington Acquisition through a combination of net proceeds from this offering, cash on hand and alternative financing
from other third parties. There can be no assurance that such alternative financing would be available on terms we deem acceptable or at all or that the closing of the Arlington Acquisition will occur on the terms described above, on the anticipated
timeline or at all. See &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks Relating to the Arlington Acquisition.&#148; In connection with the closing of the Arlington Acquisition, we intend to enter into a new franchise agreement with Hyatt for the Arlington Hotel and
expect to enter into a management agreement with either Chesapeake Hospitality or another eligible independent hotel management company to manage the Arlington Hotel. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(&#147;NAREIT&#148;), represents net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus certain <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for any noncontrolling interest from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real
estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many investors and analysts
have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by itself. We consider FFO to be a useful measure of adjusted net income (loss) for reviewing comparative
operating and financial performance because we believe FFO is most directly comparable to net income (loss), which remains the primary measure of performance, because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating
real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO assists in comparing the operating performance of a company&#146;s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We further adjust FFO for certain additional items that are not in NAREIT&#146;s definition of FFO, including changes in deferred income taxes, any unrealized
gain (loss) on hedging instruments or warrant derivative, loan impairment losses, losses on early extinguishment of debt, aborted offering costs, loan modification fees, franchise termination costs, costs associated with the departure of executive
officers, litigation settlement, over-assessed real estate taxes on appeal, change in control gains or losses and acquisition transaction costs. We exclude these items as we believe it allows for meaningful comparisons between periods and among
other REITs and is more indicative than FFO of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-going</FONT> performance of our business and assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We define
Hotel EBITDA as net income or loss excluding: (1)&nbsp;interest expense, (2)&nbsp;interest income, (3)&nbsp;income tax provision or benefit, (4)&nbsp;equity in the income or loss of equity investees, (5)&nbsp;unrealized gains and losses on
derivative instruments not included in other comprehensive income, (6)&nbsp;gains and losses on disposal of assets, (7)&nbsp;realized gains and losses on investments, (8)&nbsp;impairment of long-lived assets or investments, (9)&nbsp;loss on early
debt extinguishment, (10)&nbsp;gains or losses on change in control, (11)&nbsp;corporate general and administrative expense, (12)&nbsp;depreciation and amortization, (13)&nbsp;gains and losses on involuntary conversions of assets, (14) distributions
to preferred unitholders and (15)&nbsp;other operating revenue not related to our wholly-owned portfolio. We believe this provides a more complete understanding of the operating results over which our wholly-owned hotels and their operators have
direct control. We believe Hotel EBITDA provides investors with supplemental information on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">on-going</FONT> operational performance of our hotels and the effectiveness of third-party management companies
operating our business on a property-level basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Corporate and Partnership Information </B></P>

on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before making a decision to invest in the notes. Any of the following
risks could materially adversely affect our business, operations, industry or financial position or our future financial performance. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks
Related to the Offering </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The notes will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and will be subordinated to any of the
Operating Partnership&#146;s future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any future obligations of the Operating Partnership&#146;s subsidiaries. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Operating Partnership and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating
Partnership&#146;s other unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Operating Partnership&#146;s future obligations that are by their terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the notes. The notes will be
effectively subordinated to any of the Operating Partnership&#146;s existing or future secured indebtedness, including the Arlington Financing, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. At December&nbsp;31, 2017, we had
consolidated debt of approximately $299.1&nbsp;million, which is comprised solely of secured mortgage debt owned by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and, other than our interest in the Hyde Resort&nbsp;&amp; Residences condominium hotel,
none of our properties were unencumbered as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be obligations of the Operating Partnership that are guaranteed by
Sotherly, but are not the obligation of any other subsidiaries of Sotherly or the Operating Partnership. None of the Operating Partnership&#146;s subsidiaries will be a guarantor of the notes and the notes are not required to be guaranteed by any
subsidiaries the Operating Partnership may acquire or create in the future. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Operating Partnership&#146;s subsidiaries, to the extent of their assets, since they are separate and
distinct legal entities with no obligation to pay any amounts due under the Operating Partnership&#146;s indebtedness, including the notes, or to make any funds available to make payments on the notes, whether by paying dividends or otherwise. The
Operating Partnership&#146;s right to receive any assets of any subsidiary in the event of a bankruptcy or liquidation of the subsidiary, and therefore the right of the Operating Partnership&#146;s creditors to participate in those assets, will be
effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade creditors, in each case to the extent that the Operating Partnership is not recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary. In addition, even where the

reflect various adjustments to add or subtract certain items from GAAP consolidated net income and interest expense. In addition, management of Sotherly has discretion in calculating certain elements of the Covenant Ratios. For example, the

mortgage debt that is maturing. The ability to refinance or replace mortgage debt is subject to market conditions, and could become limited in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future financings on acceptable
terms, if at all. In August 2018, the mortgage on our DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Brownstone University matures and in April and June of 2019, respectively, the mortgages on DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Airport and Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore
mature. We also have additional significant obligations maturing in subsequent years. The total aggregate amount of our debt obligations scheduled to mature in 2018 and 2019, inclusive of monthly amortization of all our indebtedness, is
approximately $74.1&nbsp;million, which represents approximately 24.8% of our total debt obligation outstanding as of December&nbsp;31, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will
need to, and plan to, renew, replace or extend our long-term indebtedness prior to the respective maturity date. If we are unable to extend these loans, we may be required to repay the outstanding principal amount at maturity or a portion of such
indebtedness upon refinance. If we do not have sufficient funds to repay any portion of the indebtedness, it may be necessary to raise capital through debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities or equity financings. We are
uncertain whether we will be able to refinance these obligations or if refinancing terms will be favorable. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates on refinancing, increases in
interest expense would lower our cash flow, and, consequently, cash available to meet our financial obligations. If we are unable to obtain alternative or additional financing arrangements in the future, or if we cannot obtain financing on
acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business strategies or we may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses and potentially reducing cash flow from operating activities if the
sale proceeds in excess of the amount required to satisfy the indebtedness could not be reinvested in equally profitable real property investments. Moreover, the terms of any additional financing may restrict our financial flexibility, including the
debt we may incur in the future, or may restrict our ability to manage our business as we had intended. To the extent we cannot repay our outstanding debt, we risk losing some or all of our hotel properties to foreclosure and we could be required to
invoke insolvency proceedings including, but not limited to, commencing a voluntary case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For tax purposes, a foreclosure
of any of our hotels would be treated as a sale of the hotel for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the
hotel, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we would not receive any cash proceeds, which could hinder Sotherly&#146;s ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;). In addition, we may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt on behalf of the entities that own our hotels. When we give a guarantee on behalf of an entity that owns one of our hotels, we will be responsible to
the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. See &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Events of Default&#148; for a discussion of potential implications should any of our hotels be foreclosed on due to a default. </P>

our management and may cause us to incur significant expenses in connection with our review and negotiation, including expenses for closing costs and legal fees. To the extent we do not consummate the acquisition of the Arlington Hotel, these

indirect participants. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of
their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of
participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the notes, except as provided under &#147;&#151;Certificated Notes.&#148; To facilitate subsequent
transfers, all notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has
no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct

case of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. Holder, including an individual, if the note has been held for more than one year, such capital gain may be subject to reduced

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain individuals, trusts and estates are subject to a Medicare tax of 3.8% on the lesser of (i) &#147;net investment income,&#148; or (ii)&nbsp;the excess
of modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount (which is $200,000 in the case of individuals and $250,000 for taxpayers that are married filing jointly). For purposes of the Medicare tax, net investment income generally includes interest
income and net gains from the disposition of notes, unless such interest payments or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading
activities). U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of the Medicare tax on their ownership and disposition of notes in light of their individual circumstances. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Changes in U.S. Federal Tax Laws. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Congress
recently enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which made numerous changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws. The interpretation of many provisions of the new law is still unclear. We cannot predict when or to what extent any U.S. federal tax laws,
regulations, interpretations or rulings clarifying this new law will be issued or the impact of any such guidance on holders of the notes. You should consult your tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the notes
in light of your own specific situation, as well as consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain provisions in the
recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act could impact the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes for certain U.S. Holders. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a U.S. Holder that uses an accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax
purposes generally would be required to include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on certain financial statements of such noteholder. A U.S. Holder that does not have financial statements within the meaning
of the provision is subject to special rules and is urged to consult a tax advisor to understand the impact of this provision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Separately, the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act imposes on applicable educational institutions a 1.4% tax on their net investment income for the taxable year. In general, this tax is imposed on private educational institutions with at least 500 students, more than 50&nbsp;percent of
which are located in the United States, and that have at least $500,000 of assets per student at the end of the prior year. Net investment income for this purpose is generally the private educational institution&#146;s gross investment income and
capital gain net income reduced by certain expenses incurred for the production of investment income and the management of property held for the production of such income. Net investment income includes interest income and gain associated with a
sale or disposition of the notes. Whether a U.S. Holder is subject to this rule depends on such holder&#146;s circumstances. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult a tax advisor to determine whether and to what extent such noteholder will be subject
to this provision. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the corporate income tax rate is reduced from a maximum rate of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The reduced
corporate income tax rate, which is effective for taxable years beginning on January 1, 2018, will apply to income earned by our U.S. subsidiaries that are C corporations, including our taxable REIT subsidiaries. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also
repeals the alternative minimum tax imposed on C corporations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduces the highest marginal income tax rate applicable to U.S.
individuals from 39.6% to 37% (excluding the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income discussed above). U.S. individuals continue to pay a maximum 20% rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividend income. The income tax rate changes
applicable to U.S. individuals apply for taxable years beginning on January 1, 2018 and through taxable years ending December 31, 2025. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the representative of the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the
open market. These transactions may include over-allotment, syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves sales of notes in excess of the principal amount of notes to be purchased by the underwriters in the
offering, which creates a short position. Covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the underwriters, in covering short positions or making stabilizing purchases, repurchase notes originally
sold by the syndicate member. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any of these activities may cause the price of the notes to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the

supplemented from time to time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Sotherly Hotels Inc. and the Operating Partnership </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is a self-managed and self-administered lodging real estate investment trust focused on the acquisition, renovation, upbranding and repositioning
of upscale to upper-upscale full-service hotels in the southern United States. Sotherly was formed in August 2004 and on December&nbsp;21, 2004, it successfully completed its initial public offering and elected to be treated as a self-advised REIT
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company conducts its business through the Operating Partnership, of which Sotherly is the sole general partner.
As of June&nbsp;30, 2017, Sotherly owned approximately 89.1% of the partnership units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners (including certain of our officers and directors) own the remaining units of the Operating Partnership. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To qualify as a REIT, the Company cannot directly manage or operate our wholly-owned hotels. Therefore, our wholly-owned hotel properties are leased to
entities we refer to as our TRS Lessees, and managed by MHI Hotel Services, LLC, which does business as Chesapeake Hospitality, an eligible independent management company. Chesapeake Hospitality is owned and controlled by certain individuals,
including Andrew M. Sims, Sotherly&#146;s chairman and chief executive officer and Kim E. Sims and Christopher L. Sims, each of whom is a former director of Sotherly. Our TRS Lessees are each wholly-owned by MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., or MHI
Holding, a taxable REIT subsidiary that is wholly-owned by our Operating Partnership. Our TRS Lessees are each disregarded as an entity separate from MHI Holding for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Chesapeake Hospitality and its affiliates have
been in continuous operation since 1957. By using Chesapeake Hospitality as the management company, we intend to continue to capitalize on its extensive experience. Chesapeake Hospitality and its predecessors have operated for many years in markets
where we have a presence, and its operations are driven primarily by a focused sales, marketing and food and beverage strategy that we believe is critical to the success of a full-service hotel. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of June&nbsp;30, 2017, our hotel portfolio consisted of eleven full-service, primarily upscale and upper-upscale hotels with 2,838 rooms and approximately
149,435 square feet of meeting space as well as the hotel commercial condominium unit of the Hyde Resort&nbsp;&amp; Residences. All of our properties, except for The DeSoto, the Georgian Terrace, The Whitehall and the Hyde Resort&nbsp;&amp;
Residences, operate under the Hilton, Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree, and Sheraton brands. Our hotels are managed on a day-to-day basis by Chesapeake Hospitality. Our portfolio is concentrated in markets that we believe possess multiple demand generators
and have significant barriers to entry for new product delivery, which are important factors for us in identifying hotel properties that we expect will be capable of providing strong risk adjusted returns. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The ratios of earnings to fixed charges are computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. The ratios of earnings to combined
fixed charges and preferred stock dividends or preferred unit distributions, as applicable, are computed by dividing earnings by the sum of fixed charges and preferred stock dividends or preferred unit distributions, as applicable. For this purpose,
&#147;earnings&#148; consist of net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests and fixed charges, less capitalized interest, &#147;fixed charges&#148; consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and amortization of deferred financing fees,
whether expensed or capitalized, and &#147;preferred stock dividends&#148; or &#147;preferred unit distributions,&#148; as applicable, consist of the amount of pre-tax earnings required to pay dividends or distributions, as applicable, on
Sotherly&#146;s previously outstanding Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Series A Preferred Stock, and the 8.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the Series B Preferred Stock. For periods after
September&nbsp;30, 2013, the date that the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemed, and prior to August&nbsp;23, 2016, the date of the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, there were no outstanding shares of preferred
stock. Therefore, there were no preferred stock dividends included in the calculations of ratios of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, as applicable, for these periods. </P>

were issued and outstanding as of June&nbsp;30, 2017. As permitted by the MGCL, Sotherly&#146;s charter contains a provision permitting its board of directors, without any action by its stockholders, to amend the charter to increase or decrease the
aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that Sotherly have authority to issue. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting Rights

outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and, except for the rights that may be held by the holders of shares of the Company&#146;s
Series B Preferred Stock and as may be provided with respect to any other subsequently issued class or series of common or preferred stock, the holders of such common stock possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the
election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock, voting as a single class, can elect all of the directors and the holders of the remaining stock are not able to elect any directors. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sotherly&#146;s charter authorizes its board of directors to classify any unissued common stock or preferred stock, and to reclassify any previously classified
but unissued common stock and preferred stock of any series from time to time in one or more classes or series, as authorized by the board of directors. Prior to issuance of stock of each class or series, the board of directors is required by the
MGCL and Sotherly&#146;s charter to set forth each such class or series, subject to the provisions of the charter regarding the restriction on transfer of common stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each such class or series. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Power to Issue
Additional Common Stock </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the power to issue additional common stock and to classify or reclassify unissued common stock and thereafter
to issue the classified or reclassified stock provides us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs which might arise. These actions can be taken without stockholder approval,
unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which Sotherly&#146;s securities may be listed or traded. Although we have no current intention of doing so, we could issue
a class or series of stock that could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. </P>

qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year
for which Sotherly&#146;s REIT election became effective) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Also, not more than 50.0% of the value of the outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which Sotherly&#146;s REIT election became effective). In addition, we cannot receive significant amounts of rents
from tenants that are related to us, directly or constructively, through ownership. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because Sotherly&#146;s board of directors believes it is beneficial
at present for it to qualify as a REIT, Sotherly&#146;s charter, subject to certain exceptions, contains restrictions on the number of Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock that a person may own. Sotherly&#146;s charter provides that no person may own, or
be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.9% (the &#147;Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit&#148;) in value of its outstanding shares of stock. In addition, the charter prohibits any person from acquiring or
holding, directly or indirectly, shares of common stock in excess of 9.9% of the number of Sotherly&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock (the &#147;Common Stock Ownership Limit&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sotherly&#146;s charter prohibits (a)&nbsp;any person from beneficially or constructively owning its shares of stock that would result in us being
&#147;closely held&#148; under Section&nbsp;856(h) of the Code, (b)&nbsp;any person from transferring Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock if such transfer would result in Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock being owned by fewer than 100 persons,
(c)&nbsp;any transfer that would cause us to own, directly or indirectly, 10.0% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the Company (or a tenant of the Operating Partnership or any entity owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the
Operating Partnership) other than a taxable REIT subsidiary if the requirements of Section&nbsp;856(d)(8)(B) of the Code are satisfied and (d)&nbsp;any transfer that would cause any of our hotel management companies to fail to qualify as an
&#147;eligible independent contractor&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;856(d)(9) of the Code. Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock that will or may
violate any of the foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership, or any person who would have owned Sotherly&#146;s shares of stock that resulted in a transfer of shares to the Charitable Trust (as defined below), is required to give

beneficial or constructive ownership of which otherwise would cause such person to violate such limitations (rounded to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a trust (the &#147;Charitable Trust&#148;) for the exclusive

Beneficiary. Any dividend or other distribution paid prior to our discovery that shares of stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or distribution to the Trustee upon demand, and any dividend or
other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Trustee. Any dividend or distribution so paid to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sotherly may, at its option, elect to offer depositary shares rather than full shares of the Company&#146;s 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 the Company&#146;s preferred stock represented by the depositary shares will be deposited with a depositary named in the applicable prospectus supplement, under a deposit agreement, among the Company, the
depositary and the holders of the certificates representing depositary shares, or depositary receipts. 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> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified
in its entirety by, the provisions of the deposit agreement, Sotherly&#146;s charter and the form of articles supplementary for the applicable class or series of preferred stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividends </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary will distribute all cash
dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the series of Sotherly&#146;s 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 the Company 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; 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 the Company) that
it is not feasible to make such distribution, in which case the depositary may (with the Company&#146;s 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; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No
distribution will be made in respect of any depositary share to the extent that it represents any preferred stock transferred to a trust for the benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries. See &#147;Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer.&#148;

liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each depositary share will be entitled to the fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each share of the applicable series
of preferred stock as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption </B></P>

redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the shares of preferred stock held by the depositary. Whenever Sotherly redeems any preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary

the depositary receipts as of the record date for such meeting. Each such record holder of depositary receipts will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock
represented by such record holder&#146;s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote such preferred stock represented by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and the Company will agree to
take all action which may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will abstain from voting any of the preferred stock to the extent that it does not receive specific instructions from the
holders of depositary receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Withdrawal of Preferred Stock </B></P>

of the deposit agreement, the owner of the depositary shares represented 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 represent 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 representing such excess number of depositary shares. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such shares
under the deposit agreement or to receive depositary receipts representing depositary shares therefor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Amendment and Termination of Deposit Agreement

amended by agreement between Sotherly and the depositary. However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders (other than any change in fees) of depositary shares will not be effective unless 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
representing 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 provisions of applicable
law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The deposit agreement will be permitted to be terminated by Sotherly upon not less than 30 days&#146; prior written notice to the applicable
depositary if (1)&nbsp;such termination is necessary to preserve Sotherly&#146;s status as a REIT or (2)&nbsp;a majority of each series of preferred stock affected by such termination consents to such termination, whereupon such depositary will be

represented by such depositary receipts together with any other property held by such depositary with respect to such depositary receipts. The Company will agree that if the deposit agreement is terminated to preserve Sotherly&#146;s status as a

charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and initial issuance of the depositary shares, and redemption of the preferred stock and all withdrawals of preferred stock by owners of depositary shares.
Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and certain other charges as are provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. In certain circumstances, the depositary may refuse to
transfer depositary shares, may withhold dividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares represented by such depositary receipt if such charges are not paid. The applicable prospectus supplement will include information with respect to
fees and charges, if any, in connection with the deposit or substitution of the underlying securities, the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the underlying security, and the transferring,
splitting or grouping of receipts. The applicable prospectus supplement will also include information with respect to the right to collect the fees and charges, if any, against dividends received and deposited securities. </P>

which are received by the depositary as the holder of preferred stock. The applicable prospectus supplement will include information about the rights, if any, of holders of receipts to inspect the transfer books of the depositary and the list of
holders of receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither the depositary nor the Company assumes any obligation or will be subject to any liability under the deposit agreement to
holders of depositary receipts other than for its negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the depositary nor the Company will be liable if it is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations under
the deposit agreement. The obligations of the Company and the depositary under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of their duties thereunder, and they will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding
in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. The Company and the depositary may rely on written advice of counsel or accountants, on information provided by holders of the depositary receipts or
other persons believed in good faith to be competent to give such information and on documents believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event the depositary shall receive conflicting claims, requests or instructions from any holders of depositary receipts, on the one hand, and the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as
transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. &#147;Direct participants&#148; in DTC
include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the
holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also
available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will
receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records.
Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of
their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of
beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership
nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee will not change the
beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may
not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only
through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the
securities and the indenture may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and
indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by
lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such
other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such
securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the
persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment,
unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on
the securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and
corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is
the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name.&#148; Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements
in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of
payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will
not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities and the indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair

only a summary. For a complete description, we refer you to Maryland law and Sotherly&#146;s charter and bylaws. We have filed Sotherly&#146;s charter and bylaws as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sotherly&#146;s bylaws provide that the number of Sotherly&#146;s directors may be established by its board of directors. Sotherly currently has seven
directors. The board of directors may increase or decrease the number of directors by a vote of a majority of the members of the board of directors, provided that the number of directors shall never be less than the minimum number required by
Maryland law, nor more than fifteen (15), and that the tenure of office of a director shall not be affected by any decrease in the number of directors. Except as may be provided by the board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series
of preferred stock, any vacancy may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, or, if no directors remain, by Sotherly&#146;s stockholders. Any director elected to fill a
vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At each annual
meeting of stockholders, the holders of the common stock may vote to elect all of the directors on the board of directors. Holders of common stock have no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting
of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock are able to elect all of the directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Removal of Directors
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to rights of holders of one or more classes or series of preferred stock, including the Company&#146;s Series B Preferred Stock and any future
classes or series of preferred stock, to elect or remove one or more directors or the entire board of directors, Sotherly&#146;s charter provides that a director may be removed, with or without cause, upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors. Absent removal of all of Sotherly&#146;s directors, this provision, when coupled with the exclusive power of the board of directors to fill vacant directorships, precludes stockholders
from removing incumbent directors, except upon a substantial affirmative vote, and filling the vacancies created by such removal with their own nominees. </P>

interest as general partner and, as of June&nbsp;30, 2017, owned an approximately 89.1% interest as limited partner in the Operating Partnership. The partnership agreement provides that if the Operating Partnership requires additional funds at any
time in excess of funds available to the Operating Partnership from borrowing or capital contributions, Sotherly may borrow such funds from a financial institution or other lender and lend such funds to the Operating Partnership. Under the
partnership agreement, Sotherly is obligated to contribute the proceeds of any offering of shares of stock as additional capital to the Operating Partnership. Sotherly is authorized to cause the Operating Partnership to issue partnership interests
for less than fair market value if Sotherly has concluded in good faith that such issuance is in both the Operating Partnership&#146;s and Sotherly&#146;s best interests. If Sotherly contributes additional capital to the Operating Partnership, it
will receive additional units and Sotherly&#146;s percentage interest will be increased on a proportionate basis based upon the amount of such additional capital contributions and the value of the Operating Partnership at the time of such
contributions. Conversely, the percentage interests of the limited partners will be decreased on a proportionate basis in the event of additional capital contributions by Sotherly. In addition, if Sotherly contributes additional capital to the
Operating Partnership, we will revalue the property of the Operating Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by Sotherly) and the capital accounts of the partners will be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or
loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the capital accounts previously) would be allocated among the partners under the terms of the partnership agreement if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair
market value (as determined by us) on the date of the revaluation. The Operating Partnership may issue additional preferred partnership interests, in connection with acquisitions of property or otherwise, which could have priority over common
partnership interests with respect to distributions from the Operating Partnership, including the partnership interests Sotherly owns as the general partner. </P>

treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in such a partnership, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income

discusses the laws governing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its stockholders, which are highly technical and complex. In connection with this filing, we will receive an opinion of Baker&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;McKenzie LLP that we have
been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for the period commencing with our taxable year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and continuing through our taxable year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2016, and our current organization and method of operation will enable us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opinion of Baker&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;McKenzie LLP is based on various assumptions relating to our
organization and operations, and is conditioned upon factual representations made by us regarding our organization, assets, gross income and the past, present and future conduct of our business operations. The opinion of
Baker&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;McKenzie LLP is not binding on the IRS or any court, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge the conclusions set forth in such opinion. We have conducted our business operations each taxable
year since our formation in 2004 in conformity with the requirements for REIT qualification, and we intend to operate our business operations in conformity with these requirements so as to maintain our status as a REIT. Given the highly complex
nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, however, no assurance can be given by Baker&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;McKenzie LLP or by us that we will be able
to maintain our REIT status for any particular year. Baker&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;McKenzie LLP has no obligation to advise us or the holders of any of our or the Operating Partnership&#146;s securities of any subsequent change in the matters stated,
represented or assumed in the opinion, or of any subsequent change in the applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Maintenance of REIT status depends on our ability to meet, on a
continuing basis, through actual operating results, a number of requirements including quarterly asset, annual gross income and distribution, diversity of stock ownership and various other requirements imposed upon REITs by the Code. Satisfaction of
some of these asset requirements depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us, which values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A REIT that is a partner in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the
partnership and as being entitled to the income of the partnership attributable to such share and which share, for purposes of the REIT requirements of Code Section&nbsp;856 (including the REIT gross income and asset requirements), is determined in
accordance with its capital interest in the partnership. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership retains the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of such requirements. Accordingly, in applying
these REIT requirements (and for purposes of the discussion of these requirements below), our proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income of the Operating Partnership and any Operating Partnership Flow-Through Entity is
treated as our assets, liabilities and items of income. For purposes of this discussion, an &#147;Operating Partnership Flow-Through Entity&#148; means any direct or indirect subsidiary of ours or of the Operating Partnership that is a partnership,
joint venture, limited liability company or other entity that is treated as a partnership or &#147;disregarded entity&#148; for U.S. federal tax purposes and which is not owned either directly or indirectly by any taxable REIT subsidiary of ours or
any C corporation subsidiary in which we or the Operating Partnership has any direct or indirect interest. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While we intend to continue to operate in
conformity with the REIT requirements and in a manner that will allow us to maintain our REIT status, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our (and the Operating Partnership&#146;s) operations for any taxable year will allow us to
satisfy such requirements or that we will be able to maintain our status as a REIT. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Taxation of Sotherly </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a REIT, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of our taxable income that we distribute to stockholders. This treatment
substantially eliminates the &#147;double taxation&#148; (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from investment in a non-REIT &#147;C&#148; corporation. However, we are subject to U.S. federal tax as follows: </P>

&#147;foreclosure property&#148; (including foreign currency gain that is attributable to otherwise permitted income from foreclosure property) which is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or (b)&nbsp;other
nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, we are subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest U.S. federal corporate rate on such income. Foreclosure property generally is property acquired on foreclosure or otherwise on default on a loan
secured by such real property or a lease of such property. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">4. Fourth, if we have net income from a &#147;prohibited transaction,&#148;
such income is subject to a 100.0% excise tax &#150; generally, a &#147;prohibited transaction&#148; is a sale or other disposition of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property
and property involuntarily converted; for this purpose, we would be treated as holding primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business our proportionate share of any property so held by the Operating Partnership or any Operating

gross income requirement or the 95.0% gross income requirement that is required to be satisfied for REIT qualification (as discussed below), but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we
are subject to a 100.0% tax on an amount equal to (a)&nbsp;the gross income attributable to the greater of the amount by which we fail the 75.0% gross income test or the amount by which 95.0% of our gross income exceeds the amount of income
qualifying under the 95.0% gross income test multiplied by (b)&nbsp;a fraction intended to reflect our profitability. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">6. Sixth, if we

federal tax that would be the greater of (a)&nbsp;$50,000 or (b)&nbsp;an amount determined by multiplying the highest rate of U.S. federal income tax for corporations by the net income generated by the assets for the period beginning on the first
date of the failure and ending on the day we dispose of the assets (or otherwise satisfy the requirements for maintaining REIT qualification). </P>

and other than the asset requirements, but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because certain other requirements have been met, we may be subject to a $50,000 penalty for each failure. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">8. Eighth, if we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (1)&nbsp;85.0% of our ordinary income for such year,
(2)&nbsp;95.0% of our net capital gain income for such year, and (3)&nbsp;any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a nondeductible 4.0% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts
distributed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">9. Ninth, if we acquire any appreciated assets from a non-REIT C corporation (i.e., a corporation generally subject to full
corporate level tax) in a transaction in which the basis of the assets in our hands is determined by reference to the basis of the assets (or any other property) in the hands of the non-REIT C corporation, we may be subject to tax on such
appreciation at the highest U.S. federal corporate income tax rate then applicable if we recognize gain on a disposition of such assets during the 10-year period following their acquisition from the non-REIT C corporation. This tax is referred to as
the &#147;Built-in Gains Tax.&#148; The Built-in Gains Tax would not apply if the asset acquired in such manner was exchanged for a replacement property in a qualifying exchange under Code Section&nbsp;1031. However, a sale of the replacement
property within that same 10-year period would be subject to the Built-in Gains Tax. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">10. Tenth, we may be subject to a 100.0% excise tax

must elect to be taxed as a REIT and satisfy relevant filing and other administrative requirements, (3)&nbsp;it must be managed by one or more trustees or directors, (4)&nbsp;its beneficial ownership must be evidenced by transferable shares or by
transferable certificates of beneficial interest, (5)&nbsp;it must not be a financial institution or an insurance company subject to special provisions of the U.S. federal income tax laws, (6)&nbsp;it must use a calendar year for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, (7)&nbsp;it must have at least 100 beneficial owners for at least 335 days of each taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months, (8)&nbsp;it must not be closely held (i.e., at any
time during the last half of any taxable year, more than 50.0% in value of its outstanding capital stock must not be owned, directly or indirectly through the application of certain attribution rules, by five or fewer &#147;individuals,&#148; as

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To monitor compliance with the stock ownership requirements, a REIT is generally required to maintain records regarding the actual ownership of its stock. A
REIT must demand written statements each year from the record holders of 5.0% or more of its stock (or such lesser percentage as is required by applicable Treasury Regulations) pursuant to which the record holders must disclose the actual owners of
the stock (i.e., the persons required to include in gross income the dividends paid by the REIT). A REIT must maintain a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with this demand as part of its records. A REIT could be subject to monetary
penalties if it fails to comply with these record-keeping requirements. A stockholder who or that fails or refuses to comply with the demand is required by Treasury Regulations to submit a statement with his, her or its tax return disclosing such
stockholder&#146;s actual ownership of the REIT&#146;s stock and other information. If in any taxable year a REIT did not know, and with the exercise of reasonable diligence could not have known, that it failed to meet the requirement that it cannot
be closely held, the REIT will be treated as having met such requirement for such taxable year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We were organized as a Maryland corporation in August

under the lease, such that the entire rent received with respect to such real property and the personal property leased in connection therewith qualifies as rents from real property for purposes of the 75% gross income test, the value of such

requirements at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to satisfy the asset requirements because we acquire securities during a quarter, we can cure this failure by disposing of the non-qualifying assets
within 30 days after the close of that quarter. If we fail either the 5% Asset Requirement, 10% Voting Asset Requirement or 10% Value Asset Requirement at the end of any quarter, and such failure is not cured within 30 days thereafter, we may

non-permitted assets do not exceed the lesser of 1.0% of the total value of our assets at the end of the relevant quarter or $10,000,000. If we fail any of the other REIT asset requirements, or our failure of the 5% Asset Requirement, 10% Voting
Asset Requirement or 10% Value Asset Requirement is in excess of this amount, as long as the failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and, following our identification of the failure, we filed a schedule in accordance with the
Treasury Regulations describing each asset that caused the failure, we are permitted to avoid disqualification as a REIT, after the 30 day cure period, by taking steps to satisfy the requirements of the applicable REIT asset requirement within six

distribute all of our net capital gain or all of our other REIT taxable income, then we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the undistributed amount at regular U.S. federal corporate tax rates. However, for any of our net capital gain that
we elect not to distribute to stockholders, we can nonetheless elect to report such gain to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as if we had actually distributed said gain to them), in which case each of our stockholders would be
required to report on its own U.S. federal income tax return its pro rata share of such undistributed net capital gain income and would be allowed a credit for its proportionate share of the U.S. federal income tax imposed on us on such gain (but
which proportionate share of such tax would be deemed paid by such stockholder), and an adjustment would be made to increase such stockholder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax basis in our stock. Furthermore, if we should fail to distribute during each
calendar year at least the sum of (1)&nbsp;85.0% of our ordinary income for such year, (2)&nbsp;95.0% of our net capital gain income for such year, and (3)&nbsp;any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would be subject to a
non-deductible 4.0% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of the amounts actually distributed and the amount of any net capital gains we elected to retain and pay tax on. For these and other purposes, dividends that we
declare in October, November or December of one taxable year and which are payable to a stockholder of record on a specific date in any such month shall be treated as both paid by and received by the stockholder during such taxable year, provided

possible, however, that in the future we may not have sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the distribution requirements, including for example due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and actual payment of expenses
on the one hand, and the inclusion of such income and deduction of such expenses in computing our REIT taxable income on the other hand or because cash representing taxable income is required to be used to make a payment that, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, is either non-deductible (e.g., re-payment of loan principal) or must be capitalized. Further, as described below, it is possible that, from time to time, we may be allocated a share of net capital gain attributable to the sale
of depreciated property that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. To avoid any problem with the distribution requirements, we will closely monitor the relationship between our REIT taxable income and cash flow (including
amounts that the Operating Partnership is able and permitted to distribute to us) and, if necessary and feasible, we may borrow funds and/or issue stock (and/or we may cause the Operating Partnership and/or one or more of its direct and/or indirect

such share and which share, for purposes of the REIT requirements of Code Section&nbsp;856 (including the REIT gross income and asset requirements) is determined in accordance with its capital interest in the partnership. In addition, the character

subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary. In addition, if a taxable REIT subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, securities representing 35.0% or more of the vote or value of a subsidiary corporation, that subsidiary will automatically be treated as
a taxable REIT subsidiary of the parent REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax (where applicable), as a regular &#147;C&#148; corporation. </P>

parent REIT. Several provisions in the Code regarding the arrangements between a REIT and a taxable REIT subsidiary ensure, however, that the taxable REIT subsidiary will be subject to an appropriate level of U.S. federal income tax. For example,
the Code limits the ability of a taxable REIT subsidiary to deduct interest payments made to its parent REIT in excess of a certain amount. In addition, the Code imposes a 100.0% tax on transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent
REIT or the REIT&#146;s tenants that are not conducted on an arm&#146;s-length basis. Further, a 100% excise tax is imposed on the gross income of a TRS attributable to services provided to, or on behalf of, its parent REIT (other than income
attributable to services provided to a tenant of the REIT) that are not conducted on an arm&#146;s-length basis. Moreover, in taxable years beginning on or prior to December&nbsp;31, 2017, not more than 25.0% of the total value of our assets can be
represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries and in taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets may consist of the securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries.

income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100.0% excise tax. Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is a question of fact that depends on all of
the facts and circumstances of the particular transaction. Under a statutory safe harbor, however, we will not be subject to the 100.0% excise tax with respect to a sale of property if (the &#147;Prohibited Transaction Safe Harbor&#148;)
(1)&nbsp;the property has been held for at least two years for the production of rental income prior to the sale, (2)&nbsp;capitalized expenditures on the property in the two years preceding the sale are less than 30.0% of the net selling price of

Property </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Foreclosure property&#148; is real property (including interests in real property) and any personal property incident to such real
property (1)&nbsp;that is acquired by a REIT as a result of the REIT having bid in the property at foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced the property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a default (or default
was imminent) on a lease of the property or a mortgage loan held by the REIT and secured by the property, (2)&nbsp;for which the related loan or lease was made, entered into or acquired by the REIT at a time when default was not imminent or
anticipated and (3)&nbsp;for which such REIT makes an election to treat the property as foreclosure property. Treatment of property as foreclosure property generally continues until the end of the third taxable year following the year during which
the REIT acquires or takes possession of the property, but this period ends prematurely if, before the end of the third year, (1)&nbsp;the REIT makes a lease of the property under which it will receive rents not qualified for purposes of the 75.0%
gross income requirement, (2)&nbsp;the REIT begins construction on the property (other than by continuing a project at least 10.0% completed when default became imminent), or (3)&nbsp;the REIT uses the property in a trade or business on a day more
than 90 days after it acquired the property. The IRS may, however, extend the period if the REIT establishes to the IRS&#146;s satisfaction that an extension is necessary for the orderly liquidation of the REIT&#146;s interests in such property, but
no such extension may prolong the period beyond the sixth taxable year following the year during which the REIT acquires or takes possession of the property. </P>

from foreclosure property is the excess of (1)&nbsp;gain on sales and exchanges of foreclosure property that the REIT holds for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business and (2)&nbsp;gross income from foreclosure property other
than rents from real property, interest on real property mortgages, refunds of real property taxes and gains on dispositions of real property not held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, over deductions directly connected with
the production of the above income. Net income from foreclosure property constitutes &#147;qualifying income&#148; under both the 75.0% and the 95.0% gross income requirements described above. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">REITs must distribute to shareholders 90.0% of the excess of any net income from foreclosure property over the U.S. federal income tax on such income. Any
gain from the sale of property for which a foreclosure property election has been made will not be subject to the 100.0% excise tax on gains from prohibited transactions, even if the property is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of a trade or business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If there were to be a default on any lease of any property owned by us, the Operating Partnership or any Operating
Partnership Flow-Through Entity such that possession of the subject property is acquired by us, the Operating Partnership or Operating Partnership Flow-Through Entity, as applicable, and an election is made to treat such property as foreclosure
property, our net income from any foreclosure property should qualify under both the 75.0% and the 95.0% gross income requirements. We will be subject to U.S. tax on such net income, however. </P>

transactions&#148; is disregarded for purposes of the 75.0% and 95.0% gross income tests. Such hedging transactions are: (1)&nbsp;a hedging transaction to manage risk of interest rate or price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to
borrowings made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred by us to acquire or own real estate assets, which is clearly identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated or entered into,

of any portion of the property producing the REIT qualifying income that is hedged by the Currency Hedge. To the extent we (or the Operating Partnership or Operating Partnership Flow-Through Entity) enter into other types of hedging transactions,
the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both the 75.0% and 95.0% gross income tests. We intend that any hedging transaction that we (or the Operating Partnership or Operating Partnership

Capital gains recognized by individuals upon the sale or disposition of shares of our stock will generally be subject to a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 20.0% if such stock is held for more than 12 months, and will be taxed at ordinary

capital gain tax rates for non-corporate stockholders) to a portion of a capital gain realized by a non-corporate stockholder on the sale of REIT shares that would correspond to the REIT&#146;s &#147;unrecaptured Section&nbsp;1250 gain.&#148; Gains

our distribution of a capital gain dividend, a non-U.S. stockholder did not hold more than 10.0% of any class of our stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market, such dividend will, instead, be subject to U.S. withholding tax
as an ordinary dividend and, thus, subject to a U.S. withholding tax rate of 30.0% (or lower applicable treaty rate) pursuant to the rules discussed above under &#147;&#151;Ordinary Dividends.&#148; In addition, certain &#147;qualified foreign

The additional shares are purchased on the open market by the DRIP administrator. The share price of stock acquired pursuant to the DRIP is the average price of all shares purchased with the reinvested distributions by the DRIP administrator on
behalf of all DRIP participants relating to a particular distribution by us. The DRIP administrator charges participants under the DRIP commissions and other fees according to the fee schedule provided by AST in connection with any acquisition of
shares. We do not subsidize or otherwise provide any discount to DRIP participants in connection with the acquisition of shares of common stock under the DRIP. Stockholders who do not participate in the DRIP continue to receive cash distributions as
declared. Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRIP will incur tax liability for dividends reinvested even though they will receive no related cash. Specifically, stockholders will be treated as if they have received a cash dividend from us
and then applied such dividend to purchase additional common stock in the DRIP. A U.S. stockholder who reinvests dividends will be taxed on such dividends at ordinary income tax rates to the extent such dividends are made out of our current or

the Operating Partnership Flow-Through Entity is classified as either a partnership or &#147;disregarded entity&#148; for U.S. federal income tax purposes), rather than as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation. Under applicable
Treasury Regulations, which we refer to as the &#147;Check-the-Box-Regulations,&#148; an unincorporated domestic entity with at least two members may elect to be classified for U.S. federal tax purposes either as an association taxable as a
corporation or as a partnership and an unincorporated domestic entity having only one member may elect to be classified for U.S. federal tax purposes either as an association taxable as a corporation or a &#147;disregarded entity&#148;. If an
unincorporated domestic entity does not make any classification election, it generally will be treated either as a partnership (if it has at least two members) or a &#147;disregarded entity&#148; (if it has only one member) for U.S. federal income

U.S. federal income tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we might incur a U.S. federal income tax liability without any related cash distribution. Further, items of the Operating Partnership&#146;s income, gain, losses and
deduction would not pass through to us and its other partners, and we (and its other partners) would be treated as stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such instance, the Operating Partnership would be required to pay U.S. federal

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conduct substantially all our business through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership intends to hold its properties (through the Operating
Partnership Flow-Through Entities) for investment with a view to long-term appreciation. We believe that such properties should not be considered dealer property (i.e., property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business). Whether
property is dealer property is a question of fact that depends on the particular facts and circumstances with respect to that particular transaction, however. Our share of any gain realized by the Operating Partnership (or Operating Partnership
Flow-Through Entity) on the sale of any dealer property generally will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% excise tax (unless such sale qualified for the Prohibited Transaction Safe Harbor). See
&#147;Prohibited Transaction Rules&#148; above. Although we and the Operating Partnership will attempt to ensure that no property sale will be treated as a prohibited transaction, no assurance can be given of this treatment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>New Partnership Audit Legislation </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
November&nbsp;2, 2015, former President Obama signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the &#147;Budget Act&#148;). The Budget Act repeals the partnership tax audit laws that were enacted in 1982 by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act (&#147;TEFRA&#148;), as well as the audit rules and procedures dealing with &#147;electing large partnerships.&#148; The Budget Act contains provisions that set forth a brand new set of partnership audit rules and procedures (collectively, the
&#147;New Partnership Audit Rules&#148;) that will become mandatorily effective for tax returns filed for partnership taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017 (and elective for partnership taxable years beginning after November&nbsp;2,
2015 and before January&nbsp;1, 2018). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A central feature of the New Partnership Audit Rules is that, unlike prior law, partnership audit adjustments will
no longer be assessed and collected at the partner level, but will instead be assessed to, and the tax arising from such adjustments (referred to as the &#147;imputed underpayment&#148;) collected directly from, the partnership, unless the
Passthrough Adjustment Election or the Opt-Out Election (both defined below) is made. Moreover, any imputed underpayment imposed on a partnership from an audit adjustment will be imposed in the year that the audit adjustment is finalized (the
&#147;Adjustment Year&#148;), as opposed to the year that is audited (the &#147;Reviewed Year&#148;). This is the case even if a partner that is a partner in the partnership in the Adjustment Year was not a partner in the partnership during the
Reviewed Year. Accordingly, under the New Partnership Audit Rules partners in an Adjustment Year would be required to bear the cost of any partnership audit adjustments made with respect to a prior year that is the Reviewed Year. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The IRS will determine an imputed underpayment by netting partnership audit adjustments and multiplying the result by the highest marginal federal tax rate
(without regard to the character of any income or gain) in effect for the Reviewed Year. The imputed underpayment calculation will not take into consideration any partner-level tax attributes. Furthermore, to the extent that any audit adjustment
reallocates partnership items from one partner to another partner, such adjustment will not take into account any decrease in any item of income or gain, and any increase in any item of deduction, loss or credit. Accordingly, if an income
reallocation were made from one partner to another partner resulting in an imputed underpayment due to an increase in income to one partner, such assessment will not take into consideration any reduction in income to the other partner. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A partnership and the &#147;partnership representative&#148; (discussed below) have the ability to demonstrate that modifications to an imputed underpayment,
and a lower rate of tax, are appropriate. Specifically, a partnership and the partnership representative may provide to the IRS, within 270 days from the date of mailing of a &#147;Notice of Proposed Partnership Adjustment&#148; by the IRS, and
before the issuance of a &#147;Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment&#148; by the IRS, partner-specific information reflecting certain tax attributes of the partners (e.g., tax-exempt partners, individual partners subject to
favorable rates on capital gains and qualified dividends, non-U.S. partners and C-corporation partners (which are currently subject to tax at a rate that is lower than the maximum individual ordinary income rate)). Additionally, modifications and
reductions to an imputed underpayment may be made to the extent that a partner files an amended tax return for the Reviewed Year which </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
takes into account the partnership adjustments and includes the tax payment due. The Budget Act directs the IRS to establish rules to implement procedures with respect to the modification of
imputed underpayments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As an alternative to a partnership directly bearing the tax burden with respect to an imputed underpayment, the partnership may
affirmatively make an election to have adjustments from a partnership-level audit reflected on adjusted Schedules K-1 (which are provided to both the partners as well as the IRS) and paid at the partner level by those partners that were partners in
a Reviewed Year (the &#147;Passthrough Adjustment Election&#148;). The Passthrough Adjustment Election must be made no later than 45 days after the date of the issuance of a &#147;Notice of Final Partnership Administrative Adjustment,&#148; and once
made, the Passthrough Adjustment Election is revocable only with the consent of the IRS. The partners would be required to take the adjustments into account on their own tax returns in the Adjustment Year. Penalties would be determined at the
partnership level, but interest would be determined at the partner level at the short-term federal rate plus 5%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All partnerships will be subject to the
New Partnership Audit Rules unless they are eligible to opt out of these rules altogether and make an opt-out election every year (the &#147;Opt-Out Election&#148;). Partnerships that are eligible for the Opt-Out Election are those partnerships that
issue fewer than 100 Schedules K-1 a year and have as partners individuals, C corporations (including comparable non-U.S. entities), S corporations, or an estate of a deceased partner as partners. A C corporation partner that is a regulated
investment company (&#147;RIC&#148;) or a real estate investment trust (&#147;REIT&#148;) does not prevent the partnership from being able to elect out, provided the applicable requirements are met. Each S corporation shareholder is counted for
purposes of the 100-Schedule K-1 limit. Partnerships that have another partnership as a partner (i.e., tiered partnership structures) cannot make the Opt-Out Election. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The New Partnership Audit Rules eliminate the designation of a &#147;tax matters partner.&#148; Instead, a partnership will designate a &#147;partnership
representative&#148; who does not need to be a partner (but must have a substantial presence in the United States) and will have broad authority to resolve any partnership audit. The partnership representative&#146;s actions and decisions will bind
the partnership and all partners, and unlike the rules under TEFRA, partners will no longer have a statutory right to notice or to participate in any audit proceedings. Likewise, partners will no longer be able to initiate an administrative
adjustment request with respect to tax returns for prior years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are the &#147;tax matters partner&#148; of the Operating Partnership, and we (or a
party we designate) will serve as the &#147;partnership representative&#148; of the Operating Partnership for taxable years beginning after December&nbsp;31, 2017. We will determine the best course of action for the Operating Partnership to follow
under the New Partnership Audit Rules and the attendant implementing guidelines and procedures that are expected to be issued by the IRS and the Department of Treasury, including, but not limited to, (i)&nbsp;whether an Opt-Out Election or a
Passthrough Adjustment Election is available or appropriate for the Operating Partnership, and (ii)&nbsp;whether any modifications to imputed underpayments should be made and amended tax returns should be filed by the Operating Partnership. We will
make our determinations in a manner that takes into consideration the interests of both our shareholders and the partners of the Operating Partnership. <B><I>The above discussion presents some of the salient features of the New Partnership Audit
Rules, and does not contain an exhaustive description or analysis of these rules. The New Partnership Audit Rules represent a drastic and radical change from current law. Prospective investors are strongly urged to consult with their independent tax

transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale
transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those
derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a
post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such
financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities. </P>
