SCHEDULE TO
This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 23, 2018 (collectively with Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the “Schedule TO”) by KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), relating to the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to 8,234,217 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), or approximately $90 million of Shares, subject to the Company’s ability to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the offer by up to, but not more than, 2% of the Company’s outstanding Shares (resulting in a commensurate increase in the number of Shares by up to approximately 1.3 million Shares) without amending or extending the offer in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, at a purchase price of $10.93 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The Company’s offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 23, 2018, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(i) and (a)(ii), respectively. This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(i) and (a)(ii), respectively, is incorporated into this Amendment No. 4 by reference in response to all the items of the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

(“DST”), the depositary, paying agent and information agent for the tender offer, a total of approximately 9,900,861 Shares were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer and rules promulgated by the SEC, the Company decided to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the offer by up to 1,294,910 Shares. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, the Company accepted for purchase 9,527,724 Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the tender offer at a purchase price of $10.93 per Share, or approximately $104.1 million of Shares, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer.
