1.ORGANIZATION

Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. The Company conducts its business primarily through Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“Pacific Oak SOR BVI”), a private company limited by shares according to the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004, which was incorporated on December 18, 2015 and is authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000 common shares with no par value. Upon incorporation, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued one certificate containing 10,000 common shares with no par value to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 10, 2008. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 9, 2008, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, Pacific Oak SOR BVI and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

The Company generally finances its real estate investments using notes payable that are typically structured as non-recourse secured mortgages with maturities of approximately three to five years, with short term extension options available upon the Company meeting certain debt covenants. Each reporting period management evaluates the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by evaluating conditions and events, including assessing the liquidity needs to satisfy upcoming debt obligations and the ability to satisfy debt covenant requirements. Through the normal course of operations, as of July 1, 2023, the Company has $460.1 million of debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date. In order to satisfy obligations as they mature, management will evaluate its options and may seek to utilize extension options available in the respective loan agreements, may make partial loan paydowns to meet debt covenant requirements, may seek to refinance certain debt instruments, may sell real estate equity securities to convert to cash to make principal payments, may market one or more properties for sale or may negotiate a turnover of one or more secured properties back to the related mortgage lender and remit payment for any associated loan guarantee. Historically, the Company has successfully refinanced debt instruments or utilized extension options in order to satisfy debt obligations as they come due and has not negotiated a turnover of a secured property back to a lender, though the Company may utilize such option if necessary. Based upon these plans, management believes it will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations as they come due and to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance as to the certainty or timing of any of management’s plans. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Segments

The Company operates in three reportable business segments: opportunistic real estate and real estate-related investments, residential homes, and hotel, which is how the Company’s management manages the business. In general, the Company intends to hold its investments in opportunistic real estate and real estate-related assets for capital appreciation. Traditional performance metrics of opportunistic real estate and real estate-related assets may not be meaningful as these investments are generally non-stabilized and do not provide a consistent stream of interest income or rental revenue. These investments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. These investments typically involve a higher degree of risk and do not provide a constant stream of ongoing cash flows. As a result, the Company’s management views opportunistic real estate and real estate-related assets as similar investments and aggregates them into one reportable business segment. The Company owned residential homes in 18 markets, which are all aggregated into one reportable business segment due to the homes being stabilized, having high occupancy rates and having similar economic characteristics. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023 the Company owned one hotel, which is a separate reportable business segment due to the nature of the hotel business with short-term stays.

Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures

Any references to square footage, acreage, occupancy or annualized base rent are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements or recently adopted accounting guidance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned eight office properties, one office portfolio consisting of two office buildings and 25 acres of undeveloped land, encompassing, in the aggregate, approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet and these properties were 69% occupied. In addition, the Company owned one residential home portfolio consisting of 2,453 residential homes and encompassing approximately 3.5 million rental square feet and two apartment properties, containing 609 units and encompassing approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet, which were 95% and 93% occupied, respectively. The Company also owned one hotel property with 196 rooms, two investments in undeveloped land with approximately 671 developable acres and one office/retail development property. The following table summarizes the Company’s real estate held for investment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Land	$	258,570	$	267,634
Buildings and improvements	1,035,684		1,062,822

Total real estate, cost	1,315,191		1,358,452
Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(153,073)		(141,554)
Total real estate held for investment, net	$	1,162,118	$	1,216,898

Operating Leases

Certain of the Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2023, the leases, excluding options to extend, apartment leases and residential home leases, which have terms that are generally one year or less, had remaining terms of up to 12.1 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 3.7 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash and assumed in real estate acquisitions related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled $5.5 million and $6.5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, net of lease incentive amortization, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cumulative deferred rent receivable balance, including unamortized lease incentive receivables, was $20.2 million and $18.3 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $2.9 million and $2.8 million of unamortized lease incentives as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties, excluding apartment and residential leases which generally have initial terms of 12 months or less, under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023	$	31,253

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s commercial real estate properties were leased to approximately 300 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:

Industry	Number of Tenants	Annualized Base Rent (1) (in thousands)		Percentage of Annualized Base Rent
Public Administration	15	$	7,221	11.6	%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services	38	7,133		11.5	%
Computer Systems Design and Related Services	29	6,865		11.1	%
		$	21,219	34.2	%

_____________________

(1) Annualized base rent represents annualized contractual base rental income as of June 30, 2023, adjusted to straight-line any contractual tenant concessions (including free rent), rent increases and rent decreases from the lease’s inception through the balance of the lease term.

Geographic Concentration Risk

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s real estate investments in California and Georgia represented 20.4% and 10.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California and Georgia real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

Hotel Properties

The following table provides detailed information regarding the Company’s hotel revenues for its hotel property (the Springmaid Beach Resort was sold on September 1, 2022) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Real Estate Sale

In May 2023, the Company sold a vacant building within the Madison Square property in Phoenix, Arizona (“Madison Square School”) for proceeds of $6.4 million, before closing costs and credits. The Company recognized a gain on sale of $3.3 million related to the disposition of the Madison Square School, net of closing costs and adjustments. The purchaser is not affiliated with the Company nor the Advisor. As a result of the sale of the Madison Square School, certain assets were reclassified to held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Madison Square property had three office buildings remaining.

In February 2023, the Company sold approximately 71 developable acres of undeveloped land in North Las Vegas, Nevada (“Park Highlands”) for proceeds of $34.5 million, net of closing costs and credits of $1.9 million for future development obligations. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of real estate of $29.5 million related to the disposition within the consolidated statements of operations. The purchaser is not affiliated with the Company nor the Advisor.

In addition, the land parcels were held and sold through one of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for certain tax planning purposes and to ensure preservation of the Company’s REIT status. For purposes of the determination of U.S. federal and state income taxes, the Company’s TRS record current or deferred income taxes based on differences (both permanent and timing) between the determination of their taxable income and net income under GAAP. In connection with the Park Highlands sales, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.7 million at the TRS level. There were no state taxes related to this disposition. The U.S. federal statutory and effective income tax rate for the transaction’s taxable gain is 21%.

Impairment of Real Estate

The evolving office rental business environment and slowdown in economic growth due to rising interest rates led the Company to reassess its real estate and related intangibles. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges on real estate and related intangibles in the amounts of $18.9 million and $36.6 million, respectively, to write down the carrying value of two strategic opportunistic properties to their estimated fair values due to increases in the discount and cap rate assumptions and decreases in projected cash flows. There were no impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Included in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, deferred financing costs and debt discount and premium, net. Included in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of amortization on discount on notes and bonds payable, net.

The Company has extension options with respect to $70.3 million of the debt obligations outstanding that are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months; however, the Company cannot exercise these options if not then in compliance with certain financial covenants in the loans without making a cash payment and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to meet these requirements. All the Company’s debt obligations are generally non-recourse, subject to certain limited guaranty payments, as outlined in the table above, except for the Company’s Series B Debentures. The Company plans to utilize available extension options or refinance the notes payable. The Company may also choose to market the properties for sale or may negotiate a turnover of the secured properties back to the related mortgage lender.

The Company’s notes payable contains financial debt covenants, including minimum equity requirements and liquidity ratios. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of these debt covenants with the exception that the Park Centre Mortgage Loan, Lofts at NoHo Commons Mortgage Loan, Richardson Portfolio Mortgage Loan, and Lincoln Court Mortgage Loan were not in compliance with the debt service coverage requirement. As a result of such non-compliance, the Company is required to provide a cash sweep for the Lincoln Court Mortgage Loan, and the remaining loans are at-risk of cash sweeps and/or principal pay downs if in consecutive non-compliance.

The Company is in discussion with the lender regarding refinancing loans that have matured. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company did not fulfill the obligation to repay $86.5 million, the outstanding principal amount, of the two mortgage loans by the maturity dates, resulting in the accrual of penalty interest. The two mortgage loans are non-recourse to the Company. There are several potential outcomes, including negotiating a modification to the loans, refinancing the loans, or consensual short sales. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving any of these potential outcomes. If unsuccessful, the lenders would retain their right to exercise the remedies under the loans including, but not limited to, declaring the debt to be immediately payable and foreclosing on the assets.

Israeli Bond Financing

On February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of Series B debentures (the “Series B Debentures”) to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israel Securities Authority. The Series B Debentures bear interest at the rate of 3.93% per year. The Series B Debentures have principal installment payments equal to 33.33% of the face amount of the Series B Debentures on January 31st of each year from 2024 to 2026. Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued additional Series B Debentures subsequent to the initial issuance and as of June 30, 2023, 1.2 billion Israeli new Shekels (approximately $314.1 million as of June 30, 2023) were outstanding. The additional Series B Debentures have an equal level of security, pari passu, amongst themselves and between them and the initial Series B Debentures without any right of precedence or preference between any of them.

The deed of trust that governs the terms of the Series B Debentures contains various financial covenants. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

On July 6, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued 319.6 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $86.4 million) of Series C bonds (the “Series C Bonds”) to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israeli Securities Authority. Additionally, on July 17, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued an additional 20.7 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $5.6 million) of Series C bonds (the “Series C Expansion”). The Series C Expansion has an equal level of security, pari passu, amongst themselves and between them and the Series C Bonds without any right of precedence or preference between any of them. The deed of trust that governs the terms of the Series C Bonds and Series C Expansion contains various financial covenants. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion.

6. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which carrying amounts do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Face Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Face Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial liabilities (Level 3):
Notes payable	$	678,957	$	660,208	$	660,879	$	734,899	$	728,433	$	716,813
Financial liabilities (Level 1):
Pacific Oak SOR BVI Series B Debentures	$	314,130	$	315,634	$	296,389	$	331,213	$	316,276	$	304,758

Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. This has made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company measured the following assets at fair value (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Recurring Basis:
Real estate equity securities	$	30,474	$	30,474	$	—	$	—
Asset derivative - interest rate caps (1)	$	1,764	$	—	$	1,764	$	—

Impaired investment in unconsolidated entity (2)	$	26,290	$	—	$	—	$	26,290

_____________________

(1) Interest rate caps and foreign currency collars are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Amounts represent the fair value for real estate assets and investment in unconsolidated entity impacted by impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as of the date that the fair value measurement was made. The carrying value for the real estate asset may have subsequently increased or decreased from the fair value reflected due to activity that has occurred since the measurement date.

As of June 30, 2023, two of the Company’s real estate properties were measured at the estimated fair values. The two real estate properties were measured based on an income approach with the significant unobservable inputs used in evaluating the estimated fair value of these properties, including discount rates between 7.5 to 9.0% and terminal cap rates of 7.0 to 8.25%. One investment in unconsolidated entity was measured at the estimated value of the Company’s ownership calculated based on a hypothetical liquidation of the net assets, discounted for lack of marketability and control. The Company used a discount rate of 8.75% and a cap rate of 7.0% to estimate the fair value of the real estate, an interest rate adjustment of 0.15% to estimate the fair value of the debt, a discount rate of 20% for lack of marketability, and a discount rate of 20% for lack of control.

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities are reviewed for impairment annually or when conditions exist that may indicate that the decrease in the carrying amount of the investment has occurred and is other-than-temporary. Triggering events or impairment indicators for the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities may include recurring operating losses, change in economic environment, and weakening of the general market condition of the geographic area. Upon determination that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, an impairment is recognized in loss from unconsolidated entities, net to reduce the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in a joint venture was impaired by $14.8 million, primarily due to weakening market conditions of the geographic area.

Economic Dependency

The Company is dependent on the Advisor, PORA, and DMH Realty for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor, PORA, and DMH Realty are unable to provide these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

Environmental

As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations as of June 30, 2023. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and the possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

110 William Joint Venture

On July 5, 2023, in exchange for the Company’s 77.5% preferred interest ownership percentage in the 110 William Joint Venture, the Company agreed to make future capital contributions of up to $105.0 million to fund expenditures and improvements (the “Capital Contributions”). The 110 William Joint Venture also exchanged a mezzanine loan encumbering the property of approximately $85.7 million between 110 William Mezz III, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of 110 William Joint Venture, as a borrower and Invesco CMI Investments 110 William, LLC (“Invesco”) as lender, into Invesco’s 22.5% preferred equity interest in the 110 William Joint Venture. As part of the restructuring, SREF III 110 William JV, LLC’s previous 40% membership interest was diluted in exchange for contingent consideration of 10% of net cash received. Following the buyout of SREF III 110 William JV, LLC, the Company held 100% of the common interests in the joint venture for previously contributed capital.

110 William Joint Venture entered into an amended loan agreement, which restructured the original loan of $248.7 million (the “Original Loan”), and increased the supplemental loan by $56.7 million (the “Supplemental Loan”). The initial maturity date of the Original Loan and the Supplemental Loan are July 5, 2026, although the maturity date may be extended. The interest rate with respect to the Original Loan is the sum of SOFR plus a spread beginning at 2% and increasing up to 3% during the term of the loan and any extension period, and the interest rate with respect to the Supplemental Loan is the sum of SOFR plus a spread beginning at 3% and increasing up to 3.5% during the term of the loan and any extension period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

•We depend on our advisor to conduct our operations and eventually dispose of our investments.

•We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our property investments could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

•Our opportunistic investment strategy involves a higher risk of loss than would a strategy of investing in some other types of real estate and real estate-related investments.

•Inflation and increased interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including with respect to our ability to refinance maturing debt.

•We have paid distributions from financings and in the future, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have less funds available for investment in loans, properties and other assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.

•All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and other Pacific Oak-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other Pacific Oak-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. Fees paid to our advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.

•We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase our stockholders’ risk of loss.

•We have focused, and may continue to focus, our investments in non-performing real estate and real estate-related loans, real estate-related loans secured by non-stabilized assets and real estate-related securities, which involve more risk than investments in performing real estate and real estate-related assets.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Overview

We were formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in such manner. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Pacific Oak Capital Advisors”) is our advisor and as our advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of investments. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, except for our residential homes portfolio. Our residential homes portfolio, held through our subsidiary Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc. (“PORT”), is managed by Pacific Oak Residential Advisors, LLC (“PORA”), an affiliate of Pacific Oak Capital Advisors. The advisory duties are subject to the limitations in our charter and the direction and oversight of our board of directors. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have sought to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities, real estate equity securities and other real estate-related investments. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.

As of June 30, 2023, we consolidated eight office properties, one office portfolio consisting of two office buildings and 25 acres of undeveloped land, two apartment properties, one hotel property, one residential home portfolio consisting of 2,453 residential homes, two investments in undeveloped land with approximately 671 developable acres, one office/retail development property and owned three investments in unconsolidated entities and three investments in real estate equity securities.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets

Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is and will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments, payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses, payments under debt and funding obligations, redemptions and purchases of our common stock and payments of distributions to stockholders. To date, we have had six primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:

•Proceeds from the primary portion of our initial public offering; 

•Proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan;

•Proceeds from our public bond offering in Israel;

•Debt financing;

•Proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayment of real estate-related investments; and

•Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments. 

We sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had sold 6,851,969 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.5 million. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on November 14, 2012 and suspended offering shares under its dividend reinvestment plan as of March 28, 2023. To date, we have invested all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in real estate and real estate-related investments. We intend to use our cash on hand, proceeds from asset sales, proceeds from debt financing and, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.

Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. As of June 30, 2023, our office properties were collectively 68% occupied, our residential home portfolio was 95% occupied and our apartment properties were 93% occupied.

Our investment in the hotel property generates cash flow in the form of room, food, beverage and convention services, campground and other revenues, which are reduced by hotel expenses, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our hotel property is primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our hotel, the average daily rates and how well we manage our expenditures. The following table provides summary information regarding our hotel property for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

		Percentage Occupied for the Six Months Ended June 30,		Average Daily Rate for the Six Months Ended June 30,		Average Revenue per Available Room for the Six Months Ended June 30,
Property	Number of Rooms	2023	2022	2023	2022	2023	2022
Q&C Hotel	196	71.0%	66.3%	$190.77	$207.64	$135.45	$137.63

Investments in real estate equity securities generate cash flow in the form of dividend income, which is reduced by asset management fees. As of June 30, 2023, we had three investments in real estate equity securities outstanding with a total carrying value of $30.5 million.

Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2023 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our cash needs for capital expenditures, redemptions of common stock and debt requirements were met with proceeds from dispositions of real estate, proceeds from debt financing and cash on hand, except where otherwise noted. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments and cash on hand. As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $993.1 million, with a weighted-average remaining term of 1.7 years. As of June 30, 2023, we had a total of $460.1 million of debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date. We plan to exercise our extension options available under our loan agreements or pay down or refinance the related notes payable prior to their maturity dates. We have also agreed to fund expenditures and improvements in our 110 William Joint Venture of up to $105.0 million. We have begun conversations with our lenders about refinancing options upon maturity and we believe it is possible that we will be successful in refinancing the amounts outstanding. There can be no assurance that the refinancing will occur or on the terms currently contemplated. If sufficient refinancing cannot be arranged to satisfy our upcoming obligations, we believe we have other options to meet our obligations. These other options include but are not limited to, refinancing with other lending institutions, issuing additional debt, and selling properties and using net sales proceeds to satisfy the obligations. We believe that with these options we have sufficient cash on hand and availability to address our debt maturities and capital needs scheduled to mature within 12 months of June 30, 2023.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to operate as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum distribution level.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

As of June 30, 2023, we consolidated eight office properties, one office portfolio consisting of two office buildings and 25 acres of undeveloped land, two apartment properties, one hotel property, one residential home portfolio consisting of 2,453 residential homes, two investments in undeveloped land with approximately 671 developable acres, one office/retail development property and owned three investments in unconsolidated entities and three investments in real estate equity securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $9.4 million. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space that is currently unoccupied and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, our cash flows from operating activities may decrease to the extent that we dispose of additional assets.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily consisted of the following:

•Proceeds from sales of real estate of $40.8 million;

•Net cash paid on foreign currency derivative settlements of $18.0 million, as a result of purchase of foreign currency derivatives of $67.1 million and proceeds from disposition of foreign currency derivatives of $49.2 million;

•Proceeds from the sale of real estate equity securities of $13.6 million; and

•Improvements to real estate of $10.3 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $60.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily consisted of the following:

•$56.3 million of net cash used in debt and other financings as a result of principal payments on notes payable of $56.9 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and partially offset by proceeds from notes payable of $1.0 million; and

•$3.2 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock.

In order to execute our investment strategy, we utilize secured debt and we may, to the extent available, utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for any single investment. Our charter limits our total liabilities such that our total liabilities may not exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our common stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of June 30, 2023, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 64% of the cost of our tangible assets.

On February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of Series B debentures (the “Series B Debentures”) to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israel Securities Authority. The Series B Debentures bear interest at the rate of 3.93% per year. The Series B Debentures have principal installment payments equal to 33.33% of the face amount of the Series B Debentures on January 31st of each year from 2024 to 2026. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued additional Series B Debentures subsequent to the initial issuance and as of June 30, 2023, 1.2 billion Israeli new Shekels (approximately $314.1 million as of June 30, 2023) were outstanding. The additional Series B Debentures have an equal level of security, pari passu, amongst themselves and between them and the initial Series B Debentures, without any right of precedence or preference between any of them.

On July 6, 2023, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI completed a public offering to Israeli investors 319.6 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $86.4 million) Series C Bonds. Additionally, on July 17, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued an additional 20.7 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $5.6 million) of Series C Expansion. Refer to the Subsequent Events section for further discussion.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use or have used our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and our dealer manager. During our offering stage, these payments included payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees related to sales in our primary offering and payments to our dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses related both to the primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to continue to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us as well as for any dispositions of assets (including the discounted payoff of non-performing loans).

Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire or fund such investment and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property, and inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire such investment. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment, inclusive of our proportionate share of any fees and expenses related thereto. Investments made in or through PORT are excluded from the calculation of the asset management fee we pay to our advisor. In addition to other fees described in the advisory agreement between PORT and PORA, PORT pays PORA a quarterly asset management fee equal to 0.25% (1.0% annually) on the aggregate value of PORT’s assets, as determined in accordance with PORT’s valuation guidelines, as of the end of each quarter.

Results of Operations

Overview

As of June 30, 2023, we consolidated eight office properties, one office portfolio consisting of two office buildings and 25 acres of undeveloped land, two apartment properties, one hotel property, one residential home portfolio consisting of 2,453 residential homes, two investments in undeveloped land with approximately 671 developable acres, one office/retail development property and owned three investments in unconsolidated entities and three investments in real estate equity securities. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 may not be indicative of those in future periods due to acquisition and disposition activities. Additionally, the occupancy in our office properties has not been stabilized. As of June 30, 2023, our office properties were collectively 69% occupied, our residential home portfolio was 95% occupied and our apartment properties was 93% occupied. However, due to the amount of near-term lease expirations, we do not put significant emphasis on quarterly changes in occupancy (positive or negative) in the short run. Our underwriting and valuations are generally more sensitive to “terminal values” that may be realized upon the disposition of the assets in the portfolio and less sensitive to ongoing cash flows generated by the portfolio in the years leading up to an eventual sale. There are no guarantees that the occupancy of our assets will increase, or that we will recognize a gain on the sale of our assets. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and acquiring additional assets but decrease due to disposition activity.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus the three months ended June 30, 2022

The following table provides summary information about our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Rental income increased to $32.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $29.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the consolidation of Pacific Oak Residential Trust II, Inc. (“PORT II”) in July 2022, which accounted for approximately $3.7 million of rental income during the three months ended June 30, 2023. There were no significant changes to the occupancy rate and annualized base rent per square foot of our office properties held throughout both periods. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Hotel revenues decreased to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the disposition of the Springmaid Beach Resort in September 2022, which accounted for approximately $9.4 million of hotel revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Operating, maintenance, and management costs, and real estate taxes and insurance increased to $11.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $10.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the consolidation of PORT II, which accounted for approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million of operating, maintenance, and management costs, and real estate taxes and insurance, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect operating, maintenance, and management costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, increase occupancy of our real estate assets and due to general inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Hotel expenses decreased to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the disposition of the Springmaid Beach Resort during 2022, which accounted for approximately $4.6 million of hotel expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022

Asset management fees increased to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the consolidation of PORT II, which accounted for approximately $0.8 million increase during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

We recognized a $6.3 million foreign currency transaction loss, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $23.8 million of foreign currency transaction gain, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, related to the debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates and partially offset by results of foreign currency collars.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $12.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the disposition of the Springmaid Beach Resort, which accounted for approximately $0.5 million of depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and lease intangibles that were fully amortized during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and partially offset by the consolidation of PORT II, which accounted for $1.3 million of depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of lease intangibles related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.

Interest expense increased to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased one-month floating rates during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and partially offset by a decrease in the outstanding debt balance during three months ended June 30, 2023. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and pay down debt, including annual principal installment payments on the debentures.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized impairment charges of $18.9 million for our two real estate properties. There were no impairments recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Loss from unconsolidated entities, net increased to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to the impairment of an unconsolidated joint venture of $14.8 million and partially offset by income recognized from an unconsolidated joint venture, which accounted for $1.1 million of income from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Loss on real estate equity securities, net decreased to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was composed of $9.9 million unrealized loss on real estate equity securities held at June 30, 2023 and $5.8 million realized gain on real estate equity securities sold during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We expect gains and losses on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold a vacant building related to the Madison Square property in Phoenix, Arizona (“Madison Square School”) that resulted in a gain on sale of real estate of $3.3 million. There were no material dispositions during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Asset management fees increased to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the consolidation of PORT II, which accounted for approximately $1.5 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

We recognized a $3.6 million foreign currency transaction loss, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a $31.1 million foreign currency transaction gain, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022, related to the debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates and partially offset by results of foreign currency collars.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the disposition of the Springmaid Beach Resort, which accounted for approximately $1.0 million of depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and lease intangibles that were fully amortized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and partially offset by the consolidation of PORT II, which accounted for $2.2 million of depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of lease intangibles related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.

Interest expense increased to $31.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increased one-month floating rates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and partially offset by a decrease in the outstanding debt balance during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and pay down debt, including annual principal installment payments on the debentures.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized impairment charges of $36.6 million for our two real estate properties. There were no impairments recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Loss from unconsolidated entities, net increased to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to the impairment of an unconsolidated joint venture of $14.8 million and partially offset by income recognized from an unconsolidated joint venture, which accounted for $0.5 million of income from unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Loss on real estate equity securities, net decreased to $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was composed of $21.9 million unrealized loss on real estate equity securities held at June 30, 2023 and $5.8 million realized gain on real estate equity securities sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We expect gains and losses on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold approximately 71 acres of developable land and the Madison Square School and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $29.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold two office buildings related to the Richardson Portfolio and recognized a gain on sale of $3.6 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Funds from Operations, Modified Funds from Operations and Adjusted Modified Funds from Operations

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated entities. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.

Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.

In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO (“Adjusted MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance, as well as our dividend sustainability. Adjusted MFFO provides adjustments to reduce MFFO related to operating expenses that are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land. 

We believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are helpful as measures of ongoing operating performance because they exclude costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that excluding acquisition costs, prior to our early adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, from MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. MFFO and Adjusted MFFO also exclude non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provide investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies.  MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.

FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, amortization of premium or discount on bond and notes payable, mark to market foreign currency transaction adjustments and extinguishment of debt are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:

•Adjustments for straight-line rent.  These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;

•Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue.  Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate;

•Amortization of premium or discount on bond and notes payable. These are adjustments to interest expense as required by GAAP to recognize bond and notes payable discount and premiums on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective bond or notes payable. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our bond and notes payable and related interest expense;

•Loss or gain on extinguishment of debt. A loss or gain on extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the extinguishment of debt, represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the loss or gain from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses or gains do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance; and

•Mark-to-market foreign currency transaction adjustments. The U.S. Dollar is our functional currency. Transactions denominated in currency other than our functional currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured at each reporting date into the foreign currency at the exchange rate on that date. In addition, we have entered into foreign currency collars and foreign currency options that results in a foreign currency transaction adjustment. These amounts can increase or reduce net income. We exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.

Adjusted MFFO includes adjustments to reduce MFFO related to real estate taxes, property insurance and financing costs which are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land. We have included adjustments for the costs incurred necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, as these costs are recurring operating costs that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and not reflected in our net (loss) income, FFO and MFFO. In addition, adjusted MFFO includes an adjustment for income tax provision. We believe excluding this item appropriately presents the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculations of MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

(1) Reflects an adjustment to eliminate pre-tax gain on sale of real estate.

(2) Reflects adjustments to eliminate the noncontrolling interest holders’ share of the adjustments to convert our net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO.

(3) Reflects adjustments to add back our noncontrolling interest share of the adjustments and an impairment charge to an unconsolidated entity to convert our net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO for our equity investments in unconsolidated entities.

(4) Reflects real estate taxes, property insurance and financing costs that are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land and unconsolidated entity. During the periods in which we are incurring costs necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, certain normal recurring operating costs are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and not reflected in our net income (loss), FFO and MFFO.

FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO may also be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements and deferred leasing costs. We expect FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO to improve in future periods to the extent that we continue to lease up vacant space and acquire additional assets. We expect FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO to decrease as a result of dispositions.

Distributions

There were no distributions declared for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $77.1 million and our cash flows used in operations were $9.4 million. Our cumulative distributions paid and net loss attributable to common stockholders from inception through June 30, 2023 were $572.8 million. We have funded our cumulative distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with prior period cash flow from operating activities in excess of distributions paid and with cash from gains realized from the disposition of properties. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities, real estate equity securities and other real estate-related investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments and assumptions, requires estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and which are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2023.

Subsequent Events

We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

110 William

On July 5, 2023, in exchange for the Company’s 77.5% preferred interest ownership percentage in 110 William Joint Venture, the Company agreed to make future capital contributions of up to $105.0 million to fund expenditures and improvements (the “Capital Contributions”). The 110 William Joint Venture also converted a mezzanine loan encumbering the property of approximately $85.7 million between 110 William Mezz III, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of 110 Williams Joint Venture, as a borrower and Invesco CMI Investments 110 William, LLC (“Invesco”) as lender, into Invesco’s 22.5% preferred equity interest in the 110 William Joint Venture. As part of the restructuring, SREF III 110 William JV, LLC’s previous 40% membership interest was diluted in exchange for contingent consideration of 10% of net cash received. Following the buyout of SREF III 110 William JV, LLC, the Company held 100% of the common interests in the joint venture for contributed capital.

110 William Joint Venture entered into an amended loan agreement, which restructured the original loan of $248.7 million (the “Original Loan”), and increased the supplemental loan by $56.7 million (the “Supplemental Loan”). The initial maturity date of the Original Loan and the Supplemental Loan is July 5, 2026, although the maturity date may be extended. The interest rate with respect to the Original Loan is the sum of SOFR plus a spread beginning at 2% and increasing up to 3% during the term of the loan and any extension period, and the interest rate with respect to the Supplemental Loan is the sum of SOFR plus a spread beginning at 3% and increasing up to 3.5% during the term of the loan and any extension period. Pacific Oak SOR Properties, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company is the guarantor for all debt service under the amended loan agreement and the Capital Contributions.

Series C Bonds

On July 6, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI, completed a public offering to Israeli investors, of 319.6 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $86.4 million) of Series C bonds (the “Series C Bonds”). The Series C Bonds were issued and registered with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on July 9, 2023. The terms of the Series C Bonds are governed by a deed of trust, containing various financial covenants, among Pacific Oak SOR BVI and Reznik Paz Nevo Trusts Ltd., as trustee. The notes will bear interest at the rate of 9% per year. The Series C Bonds mature on June 30, 2026 and are collateralized by real estate held for investment.

On July 17, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued additional Series C bonds in the amount of 20.7 million Israeli new Shekels par value (the “Series C Expansion”). The Series C Expansion was issued at a 1.0% discount, resulting in a total consideration of 20.5 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $5.6 million). The Series C Expansion has an equal level of security, pari passu, amongst themselves and between them and the Series C Bonds, without any right of precedence or preference between any of them. The deed of trust that governs the terms of the Series C Bonds and Series C Expansion contains various financial covenants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

Certain transactions, assets, and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk. We monitor our foreign currency exposures to maximize the economic effectiveness of our foreign currency positions, including hedges. Principal currency exposure is Israeli New Shekel; in particular, we are exposed to the effects of foreign currency changes in Israel with respect to the Series B Debentures, the Series C Bonds and Series C Expansion issued to investors in Israel.

In addition, we are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity, fund distributions and to fund the refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and the acquisition of real estate securities. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes and foreign currency changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. In order to limit the effects of changes in foreign currency on our operations, we may utilize a variety of foreign currency hedging strategies such as cross currency swaps, forward contracts, puts or calls. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and the risk that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. Additionally, certain of these strategies may cause us to fund a margin account periodically to offset changes in foreign currency rates which may also reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock.

As of June 30, 2023, we held 39.8 million Israeli new Shekels and 24.7 million Israeli new Shekels in cash and restricted cash, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, we had bonds outstanding and the related interest payable in the amounts of 1.2 billion Israeli new Shekels and 19.1 million Israeli new Shekels, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Based solely on the remeasurement for the six months ended June 30, 2023, if foreign currency exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $23.5 million and $37.5 million, respectively, for the same period.

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of our Series B Debentures was $296.4 million and the outstanding principal balance was $314.1 million. As of June 30, 2023, excluding the Series B Debentures, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $219.7 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $233.5 million. The fair value estimate of the Series B Debentures was calculated using the quoted bond price as of June 30, 2023 on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange of 95.99 Israeli new Shekels, respectively. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of June 30, 2023. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting changes in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.

Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of June 30, 2023, we had entered into three separate interest rate caps with an aggregate notional of $156.6 million which effectively limits our exposure to increases in one-month SOFR above certain thresholds. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2023, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2022, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $2.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of June 30, 2023 were 4.1% and 7.5%, respectively. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2023 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of contractual floor rates, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2023 where applicable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)

We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our real estate equity securities. Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our real estate equity security prices. Our exposure to changes in real estate equity security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a real estate equity security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. In addition, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the real estate equity security being sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our real estate equity security price risk. As of June 30, 2023, we owned real estate equity securities with a book value of $30.5 million. Based solely on the prices of real estate equity securities as of June 30, 2023, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $3.1 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factor discussed below, please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, each as filed with the SEC.

In certain cases, financings for our investments may be recourse to us.

Generally, commercial real estate financings are structured as nonrecourse to the borrower. However, lenders customarily will require that a creditworthy parent entity enter so-called “recourse carveout” guarantees. For example, a lender might require guarantees from the guarantors for the completion of tenant improvements, payment of the guarantor’s obligation, or against certain bad acts. In addition, certain guarantees typically provide that the loan will be a full personal recourse obligation of the guarantor, for certain actions.

The change in the value of Israeli currency may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

On February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of Series B Debentures to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering, which bonds are denominated in Israeli new Shekels. The Series B Debentures bear interest at the rate of 3.93% per year. The Series B Debentures have principal installment payments equal to 33.33% of the face amount of the Series B Debentures on January 31st of each year from 2024 to 2026. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity BVI issued additional Series B Debentures subsequent to the initial issuance and as of June 30, 2023, 1.2 billion Israeli new Shekels (approximately $314.1 million as June 30, 2023) were outstanding.

On July 6, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI, completed a public offering to Israeli investors, of 319.6 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $86.4 million) Series C Bonds. The Series C Bonds were issued and registered with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on July 9, 2023. The terms of the Series C Bonds are governed by a deed of trust, among Pacific Oak SOR BVI and Reznik Paz Nevo Trusts Ltd., as trustee. The notes will bear interest at the rate of 9% per year. The Series C Bonds mature on June 30, 2026 and are collateralized by land. On July 17, 2023, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued additional Series C bonds in the amount of 20.7 million Israeli new Shekels par value. The Series C Bonds were issued at a 1.0% discount, resulting in a total consideration of 20.5 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $5.6 million). The additional Series C Expansion has an equal level of security, pari passu, amongst themselves and between them and the Series C Bonds, without any right of precedence or preference between any of them. The deed of trust that governs the terms of the Series C Bonds and Series C Expansion contains various financial covenants.

As a result, we are subject to foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between Israeli new Shekels and U.S. Dollars. More specifically, a significant change in the value of the Israeli new Shekels may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We have attempted to mitigate this foreign currency risk by using derivative contracts. However, there can be no assurance that those attempts to mitigate foreign currency risk will ultimately be successful.

Uncertain market conditions could cause us to sell our real estate investments or investments in unconsolidated entities at a loss in the future.

We intend to hold our real estate investments and investments in unconsolidated entities until such time as we determine that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives. We may exercise discretion as to whether and when to sell an investment, and we will have no obligation to sell at any particular time. We generally intend to hold our investments for an extended period of time, and we cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in the future. Because of the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect the future disposition of our investments, we may not be able to sell our investments at a profit in the future or at all. In addition, if we are unable to access the capital markets for financing in the future, we may need to sell some of our investments to raise capital. We may incur prepayment penalties in the event that we sell a property subject to a mortgage earlier than we otherwise had planned. Additionally, we could be forced to sell our investments at inopportune times which could result in us selling the affected investment at a substantial loss. Any inability to sell a property could adversely impact our ability to make debt payments as they come due.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

a)During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

b)Not applicable.

c)We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.

Pursuant to the share redemption program there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:

•Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held the shares for one year.

•During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.

•We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.

•During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we can purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided, however, that this limit may be increased or decreased by us upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. To the extent that we redeem less than the number of shares that we can purchase in any calendar year with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year plus any additional funds approved by us, such excess capacity to redeem shares during any calendar year shall be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares during the subsequent calendar year. We indefinitely suspended the dividend reinvestment plan as of March 28, 2023. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once we have received requests for redemptions, whether in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”, or otherwise, that if honored, and when combined with all prior redemptions made during the calendar year, would result in the amount of remaining funds available for the redemption of additional shares in such calendar year being $1.0 million or less, the last $1.0 million of available funds shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent that, in the last month of any calendar year, the amount of redemption requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” is less than the amount of available funds reserved for such redemptions in accordance with the previous sentence, any excess funds may be used to redeem shares not in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” during such month.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (Continued)

•We may not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that, in a given fiscal quarter, we redeem less than the sum of (a) $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) and (b) any excess capacity carried over to such fiscal quarter from a prior fiscal quarter as described below, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter will be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarter. We may increase or decrease this limit upon ten business days’ notice to stockholders.

We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice to our stockholders by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.

•During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we fulfilled redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order and funded redemptions under our share redemption program with cash on hand. We redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

Month	Total Number of Shares Redeemed	Average Price Paid Per Share (1)		Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available That May Yet Be Redeemed Under the Program
January 2023	75,025	$	10.50	(2)
February 2023	25,954	$	10.50	(2)
March 2023	42,806	$	10.50	(2)
April 2023	47,885	$	10.50	(2)
May 2023	47,410	$	10.50	(2)
June 2023	66,907	$	10.50	(2)
Total	305,987

_____________________

(1) On December 2, 2022, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.50. The change in the redemption price became effective for the January 2023 redemption date and is effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to update our estimated value per share no later than December 2023.

(2) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. During the six months ended June 2023, we redeemed $3.2 million of common stock under the program, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the June 2023 redemption date, except for the $146.8 million of shares in connection with redemption requests not made upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” which redemption requests will be fulfilled subject to the limitations described above. Based on the Twelfth SRP, we had $1.4 million available for redemptions in the remainder of 2023, as of June 30, 2023, and on May 11, 2023 and August 10, 2023, our board of directors approved additional $2.0 million and 4.0 million, respectively, all of which are in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations described above.
