Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

We previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 20, 2022 that we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-267463) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed offering of our shares of common stock in conjunction with a contemplated listing of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or the Proposed Listing. In connection with the Proposed Listing, on November 15, 2022, we effected a one-for-four reverse stock split, or the Reverse Stock Split, of each issued and outstanding share of Class T common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Class I common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or our Common Stock, by filing articles of amendment to our charter, or the Stock Split Amendment. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were combined and converted into one new share of the respective class of Common Stock, par value $0.04 per share. Additionally, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split, we also filed articles of amendment to our charter to decrease the par value of each share of our Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split from $0.04 per share to $0.01 per share, or the Par Value Decrease Amendment.

In addition, equitable adjustments were made to the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to our Amended and Restated 2015 Incentive Award Plan, or the Plan, and the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of incentive stock options under the Plan, in each case, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of our Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Plan, and certain performance goals applicable to such awards, have also been equitably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split affected all of the stockholders of our Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the number of our authorized shares of Common Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the amendments to our charter are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stock Split Amendment and the Par Value Decrease Amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 16, 2022, we issued our Third Quarter 2022 Investor Update Letter to report third quarter 2022 financial results, the Reverse Stock Split, the suspension of our distribution reinvestment plan, or DRIP, and the suspension of our share repurchase plan, or SRP, as further discussed below in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the investor letter, which is hereby incorporated into this filing in its entirety, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the Proposed Listing, on November 14, 2022, our board of directors, or our Board, approved the suspension of our DRIP beginning with the distributions declared, if any, for the quarter ending December 31, 2022, until such time as our Board approves the reinstatement of our DRIP. As a result of the suspension of the DRIP, any future distributions to be paid to stockholders (including stockholders who are current DRIP participants), will be payable in cash. For individual retirement accounts and other qualified accounts, distributions will be remitted to the stockholder’s custodian of record.

Additionally on November 14, 2022, in connection with the Proposed Listing, our Board approved the suspension of our SRP effective with respect to all share repurchase requests for the quarter ending December 31, 2022. All share repurchase requests, including requests resulting from the death or qualifying disability of stockholders, outstanding as of the quarter ending December 31, 2022, shall not be processed, shall be considered cancelled in full and shall not be considered outstanding repurchase requests.

There can be no guarantee that the DRIP and/or the SRP will be reinstated by the Board.
