Prior Performance Summary

The “Prior Performance Summary” section of the prospectus is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

PRIOR PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The information presented in this section represents the historical experience of certain real estate programs sponsored by U.S. Commercial LLC, our sponsor, and other affiliates of our advisor, including certain officers and directors of our advisor. You should not assume that you will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in such prior real estate programs.

The information in this section and in the Prior Performance Tables included in this supplement as Appendix A show relevant summary information regarding programs sponsored or co-sponsored by our sponsor. As described below, our sponsor has sponsored or co-sponsored private offerings of real estate programs that have investment objectives, including particular investment types, that are considerably similar to ours. Some programs, remaining in operation, may acquire additional properties in the future. Our sponsor intends to continue to sponsor private offerings of real estate programs. To the extent that such future offerings or programs remaining in operation share the same or similar investment objectives or acquire properties in the same or nearby markets, such programs may be in competition with the investments made by us. See the “Conflicts of Interest” section of the prospectus for additional information. Programs that list substantially the same investment objectives as we do in the prospectus or private offering memorandum are considered to have investment objectives similar to ours, regardless of the particular emphasis that a program places on each objective.

The information in this summary represents the historical experience of U.S. Commercial LLC sponsored or co-sponsored programs. The Prior Performance Tables set forth information as of the dates indicated regarding certain of these prior programs as to: (1) experience in raising and investing funds (Table I); (2) compensation to sponsor (Table II); (3) annual operating results of prior real estate programs (Table III); (4) results of completed programs (Table IV); and (5) sale or disposals of properties by prior real estate programs (Table V). Additionally, Table VI, which is contained in Part II of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement and is not part of this supplement or the prospectus, provides certain additional information relating to properties acquired by the prior real estate programs. We will furnish copies of Table VI to any prospective investor upon request and without charge. The purpose of this prior performance information is to enable you to evaluate accurately our sponsor’s experience with like programs. The following discussion is intended to summarize briefly the objectives and performance of the prior real estate programs and to disclose any material adverse business developments sustained by them.

Private Programs — Overview

The prior privately-offered programs sponsored or co-sponsored by our sponsor include 11 single-asset real estate tenant-in-common offerings, two privately-offered REITs, three multi-asset Delaware Statutory Trust offerings, one single-asset Delaware Statutory Trust offering, and one single-asset real estate limited liability company. Limited partnership units were privately offered in conjunction with four of the aforementioned tenant-in-common offerings and limited liability company units were privately offered in conjunction with five of the aforementioned tenant–in-common offerings. Investors in these unit offerings acquired an undivided tenant-in-common interest in the property that was the subject of such offering. Investors in these 18 privately-offered programs had raised approximately $307 million of gross offering proceeds from approximately 1,578 investors. See Tables I and II of the Prior Performance Tables for more detailed information about the experience of the affiliates of our

advisor in raising and investing funds for private offerings closed during the previous three years and compensation paid to the sponsors of these programs.

With a combination of debt and offering proceeds, these privately-offered programs invested approximately $737 million (including acquisition and development costs) in 39 properties. Based on the aggregate amount of acquisition and development costs, approximately 95% was spent on existing or used properties and approximately 5% was spent on construction or redevelopment properties. Based on the aggregate amount of acquisition and development costs, our assets in these programs can be categorized as indicated in the chart below:

The following table shows a breakdown by percentage of the aggregate amount of the acquisition and development costs of the properties purchased by the prior private real estate programs:

   —      100.0 %   —

   —      73.5 %   26.5 %

See Table III of the Prior Performance Tables for more detailed information as to the operating results of such programs whose offerings closed during the previous five years. See Table IV of the Prior Performance Tables for detailed results of such programs that have completed operations during the previous five years. See Table V of the Prior Performance Tables for detailed results of the sale or disposals of properties by such programs within the most recent three years.

The percentage of these programs with investment objectives similar to ours is approximately 100.0%. These properties had an aggregate of approximately 5.3 million square feet of gross leasable space. For more detailed information regarding acquisitions of properties by such programs during the previous three years, see Table VI contained in Part II of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement of which is not a part of this supplement or the prospectus. Copies of Table VI will be provided to prospective investors upon request at no charge.

The investments of the above mentioned programs have all occurred during the previous four years. There were no investments made by these programs prior to this four year period and our sponsor did not sponsor or co-sponsor any programs prior to the four year period.

Certain properties have experienced, and may in the future experience, decreases in net income when economic conditions decline. Our sponsor, along with CB Richard Ellis Investors/U.S. Advisor, LLC, co-sponsored the offering of USA 615 North 48th ST, LLC, which together with other tenant-in-common interest holders, acquired an approximately 574,000 square foot single-tenant industrial property. The program experienced an involuntary bankruptcy of its single tenant, Le*Natures, Inc., as a result of alleged financial fraud by its senior executives, which in turn resulted in the lender commencing foreclosure proceedings. The bankruptcy trustee approved Le*Natures’ petition to terminate the lease with the tenant-in-common owners, resulting in a default on the first lien loan on the property and a receiver for the property has been appointed. Distributions to the investors have been suspended indefinitely since November 2006. The lien holder of the machinery within the facility was required to make the property lease payments, if the tenant was unable to do so, as long as the equipment remained in the facility. The owner of the equipment committed to making the lease payments through October 2007. Although situations may arise for the tenant-in-common interest holders to avoid foreclosure either through the releasing or sale of the property, our sponsor believes that distributions will remain suspended for the foreseeable future and the investors may lose some or all of their capital. In certain instances, the sponsor of these programs, or its affiliates, has agreed to make certain accommodations to benefit the

owners of these properties, such as the deferral of asset management fees otherwise payable to the sponsor or its affiliates. See Prior Performance Tables I (Experience in Raising and Investing Funds), II (Compensation to Sponsor) and III (Annual Operating Results of Prior Real Estate Programs) in Appendix A for further information regarding these prior real estate programs. Our business may be affected by similar conditions. Although certain prior programs sponsored or co-sponsored by our sponsor have been adversely affected by the cyclical nature of the real estate market and general risks associated with investments in real estate, at this time, we are not aware of any other adverse business developments other than those at USA 615 North 48th ST, LLC that would be material to investors in the prior programs.

No assurance can be made that our program or other programs sponsored by affiliates of our advisor will ultimately be successful in meeting their investment objectives. Below is a summary of the three private programs previously sponsored by our sponsor that we believe are most similar to this offering.

Section 13 of our Distribution Reinvestment Plan, included as Appendix C to the prospectus, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

APPENDIX A

PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES

The following Prior Performance Tables provide historical unaudited financial information relating to 17 private real estate investment programs sponsored or co-sponsored by U.S. Commercial LLC, our sponsor and an affiliate of our advisor (Prior Real Estate Programs). These Prior Real Estate Programs, with similar investment objectives to ours, include 11 single-asset real estate tenant-in-common offerings, three multi-asset Delaware Statutory Trust offerings, one single-asset Delaware Statutory Trust offering, one single-asset real estate limited liability company, and one privately-offered REIT. Limited partnership units were privately offered in conjunction with four tenant-in-common programs and limited liability company units were privately offered in conjunction with five tenant–in-common programs. Investors in each offering acquired an undivided tenant-in-common interest in the property that was the subject of such offering.

Our advisor is responsible for the acquisition, operation, maintenance and resale of our real estate properties. U.S. Commercial LLC is our sponsor and is the sponsor of the Prior Real Estate Programs and related companies. The Prior Real Estate Programs presented provide an indication of prior U.S. Commercial LLC managed real estate programs and the performance of these programs during the previous three years. However, the general condition of the economy, as well as other factors, can affect the real estate market and operations and impact the financial performance significantly.

The following tables are included herein:

Table I – Experience in Raising and Investing Funds – Table I summarizes information of the prior performance of our sponsor in raising funds for the Prior Real Estate Programs, the offerings of which closed during the previous three years. The information in Table I is unaudited.

Table II – Compensation to Sponsor – Table II summarizes the compensation paid to our sponsor and affiliates for the Prior Real Estate Programs, the offerings of which closed during the previous three years. The information in Table II is unaudited.

Table III – Annual Operating Results of Prior Real Estate Programs – Table III summarizes the operating results for the Prior Real Estate Programs, the offerings of which closed during the previous five years. The information in Table III is unaudited.

Table IV – Results of Completed Prior Real Estate Programs – Table IV summarizes the results for the Prior Real Estate Programs that have completed operations during the previous five years. The information in Table IV is unaudited.

Table V – Sales or Disposals of Properties for Prior Real Estate Programs – Table V includes all sales or disposals of properties by Prior Real Estate Programs within the most recent three years. The information in Table V is unaudited.

Additional information is contained in Table VI — Acquisitions of Properties by Programs, which is included in Part II of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Copies of Table VI will be provided to prospective investors at no charge upon request.

The investment objectives of the programs included in the “Prior Performance Summary” section of this supplement and presented in the Prior Performance Tables are considered to have similar investment objectives as ours. We intend to invest in income producing properties and achieve

 

A-1


appreciation in the value of our properties over the long-term with returns anticipated from income and any increase in the value of the properties. Our stockholders will not own any interest in any Prior Real Estate Program and should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in the Prior Real Estate Programs. Please see “Risk Factors — General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate.” Due to the risks involved in the ownership of and investment in real estate, there is no guarantee of any level of return on your investment in us and you may lose some or all of your investment.

These tables are presented on a tax basis rather than on a GAAP basis, with the exception of USA Self Storage REIT, Inc. which is presented on a GAAP basis. Tax basis accounting does not take certain income or expense accruals into consideration at the end of each fiscal year. Income may be understated in the tables as compared to GAAP, as GAAP accounting would require certain amortization or leveling of rental revenue, the amount of which is undetermined at this time. Expenses may be understated by monthly operating expenses, which are typically paid in arrears.

NOTES TO TABLE III

 

(1)

USA Self Storage REIT, Inc. maintains its books on a GAAP basis of accounting rather than a tax basis.

(2)

USA Self Storage REIT, Inc. calculates depreciation of real property on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging primarily from 5 to 40 years. The tenant-in-common and Delaware Statutory Trust offered programs do not report depreciation or amortization of the real property due to the nature of the co-tenancy interests held by the individual investors.

(3)

Operating expenses include the ongoing operating costs of the real estate and management fees paid to affiliates for such services as asset management, administrative and accounting.

(4)

The U.S. Commercial Exchange Entity programs, consisting of tenant-in-common ownership in real estate properties, maintain their books on a tax basis of accounting rather than a GAAP basis. There are several potential differences in tax and GAAP basis, including, among others: (a) tax basis accounting does not take certain income or expense accruals into consideration at the end of each fiscal year, (b) rental income is recorded on a tax basis as it is received rather than being accrued on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease for GAAP, (c) Operating expenses are generally recorded in the period in which they are paid, which may not be the period in which they were incurred. These differences generally result in timing differences between fiscal years but total income over the life of the real estate investment will not be significantly different between the two bases of accounting.

(5)

Cash generated from operations generally includes net income plus depreciation and amortization if applicable. Distributions in excess of cash flow from operations are generally funded by alternative sources such as releases from funded reserves, return of equity proceeds or other financing proceeds.

(6)

Special items consist of cash flows associated with capital contributions, mortgage debt proceeds and total acquisition costs (See Tables I and VI).

(7)

The offering involves a “Master Lease” of the property. The “Master Tenant”, an affiliate of the sponsor, is required to make stated rent payments on a monthly, triple net, basis to the investors under the terms of the “Master Lease”, whether or not property cash flows are sufficient to pay such stated rent (See note 5 in this section “Notes to Table III”). Special items consist of changes in escrow and reserve accounts and changes in other assets and liabilities.

(1)

The program included in this table is a tenant-in-common program involving investors generally engaged in tax deferred exchanges. Accordingly, each tenant-in-common investor has an individual tax basis for determining amortization and depreciation; therefore, there is no presentation of Federal Income Tax Results.

APPENDIX C

STRATEGIC STORAGE TRUST, INC.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

Amended As of April 28, 2008

Strategic Storage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), the terms and conditions of which are set forth below.

1. Distribution Reinvestment. As agent for the stockholders of the Company (“Stockholders”) who (A) purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), or (B) purchase Shares pursuant to any future offering of the Company (a “Future Offering”) and who elect to participate in the DRP (the “Participants”), the Company will apply all distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares held by each participating Stockholder (the “Distributions”), including Distributions paid with respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the DRP, to the purchase of the Shares for such participating Stockholders directly, if permitted under state securities laws and, if not, through the Dealer Manager or participating dealers registered in the participating Stockholder’s state of residence (“Participating Dealers”).

2. Effective Date. The DRP will become effective on the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering. Any amendment to the DRP shall be effective as provided in Section 12.

3. Eligibility and Procedure for Participation. Any Stockholder who purchases Shares pursuant to the Initial Public Offering or any Future Offering, and who has received a prospectus, as contained in the Company’s registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may elect to become a Participant by completing and executing the Subscription Agreement, an enrollment form or any other appropriate authorization form as may be available from the Company, the dealer manager or Participating Dealer. The Company may elect to deny a Stockholder participation in the DRP if the Stockholder resides in a jurisdiction or foreign country where, in the Company’s judgment, the burden or expense of compliance with applicable securities laws makes the Stockholder’s participation impracticable or inadvisable. Participation in the DRP will begin with the next Distribution payable after receipt of a Participant’s accepted subscription, enrollment or authorization.

Once enrolled, a Participant may continue to purchase stock under the DRP until all of the shares of stock registered have been sold, the Company has terminated a current offering, or the Company has terminated the DRP. A Participant can choose to have all or a portion of distributions reinvested through the DRP. A Participant may also change the percentage of distributions that will be reinvested at any time by completing a new enrollment form or other form provided for that purpose. Any election to increase a Participant’s level of participation must be made through a Participating Dealer or, if purchased other than through a Participating Dealer, through the Company’s dealer manager. Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the date that Distributions are paid by the Company.

Each Participant agrees that if, at any time prior to the listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or inclusion of the Shares for quotation on a national market system, he or she fails to meet the suitability requirements for making an investment in the Company or cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the Subscription Agreement, he or she will promptly so notify the Company in writing.

4. Purchase of Shares. Participants may acquire DRP Shares from the Company at a price equal to the higher of $9.50 per share or 95% of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock as estimated by the Company’s board of directors or a firm chosen by the Company’s board of directors, until the earliest of (i) the date that all of the DRP Shares registered have been issued or (ii) all offerings terminate and the Company elects to deregister with the SEC the unsold DRP Shares. The DRP Share price was determined by the Company’s board of directors in its business judgment. The Company’s board of directors may set or change the DRP Share price for the purchase of DRP Shares at any time in its sole and absolute discretion based upon such factors as it deems appropriate. Participants in the DRP may also purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares; however, a Participant will not be able to acquire DRP Shares to the extent that any such purchase would cause such Participant to exceed the ownership limit as set forth in the Company’s charter or otherwise would cause a violation of the share ownership restrictions set forth in the Company’s charter.

Shares to be distributed by the Company in connection with the DRP may (but are not required to) be supplied from: (a) the DRP Shares registered with the SEC in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, (b) Shares to be registered with the SEC in a Future Offering for use in the DRP (a “Future Registration”), or (c) Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the Company for the DRP in a secondary market (if available) or on a national stock exchange or national market system (if listed) (collectively, the “Secondary Market”).

Shares purchased in any Secondary Market will be purchased at the then-prevailing market price, which price will be used for purposes of issuing Shares in the DRP. Shares acquired by the Company in any Secondary Market or registered in a Future Registration for use in the DRP may be at prices lower or higher than the Share price which will be paid for the DRP Shares pursuant to the Initial Public Offering.

If the Company acquires Shares in any Secondary Market for use in the DRP, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to acquire Shares at the lowest price then reasonably available. However, the Company does not in any respect guarantee or warrant that the Shares so acquired and purchased by the Participant in the DRP will be at the lowest possible price. Further, irrespective of the Company’s ability to acquire Shares in any Secondary Market or to make a Future Offering for Shares to be used in the DRP, the Company is in no way obligated to do either, in its sole discretion.

5. No Commissions or Other Charges. No dealer manager fee and no commissions will be paid with respect to the DRP Shares.

6. Exclusion of Certain Distributions. The board of directors of the Company reserves the right to designate that certain cash or other distributions attributable to net sale proceeds will be excluded from Distributions that may be reinvested in shares under the DRP.

7. Taxation of Distributions. The reinvestment of Distributions in the DRP does not relieve Participants of any taxes which may be payable as a result of those Distributions and their reinvestment pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

8. Stock Certificates. The ownership of the Shares purchased through the DRP will be in book-entry form unless and until the Company issues certificates for its outstanding common stock.

9. Voting. A Participant may vote all shares acquired through the DRP.

10. Reports. Within 90 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company shall provide each Stockholder with an individualized report on his or her investment, including the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of Distribution payments and amounts of Distributions paid during the prior fiscal year.

11. Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate participation in the DRP at any time, without penalty by delivering to the Company a written notice. Prior to listing of the Shares on a national stock exchange or quotation on a national market system, any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the DRP with respect to the transferred Shares. Upon termination of DRP participation for any reason, Distributions paid subsequent to termination will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.

12. Amendment or Termination of DRP by the Company. The board of directors of the Company may be majority vote (including a majority of the Independent Directors) amend, modify, suspend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon 10 days’ written notice to the Participants; provided, however, no such amendment shall add compensation to the DRP or remove the opportunity for a Participant to terminate participation in the plan, as specified above.

13. Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or liability (a) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon such Participant’s death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death, or (b) with respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account. Any limitation of the Company’s liability under this Section 13 may be further limited by Section II.G. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts published by the North American Securities Administrators Association, as applicable. To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of a particular state, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC and certain state securities commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.
