(2	)	recent real property investments.

Status of Our Public Offering

The registration statement for our initial public offering of 300,000,000 shares of common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2012. Of these shares, we are offering up to 250,000,000 shares in a primary offering and up to 50,000,000 shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. During the month of June 2013, we accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 7.0 million shares of our common stock in the offering (including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $69.6 million. As of June 28, 2013, we had accepted investors’ subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 67.5 million shares of our common stock in the offering (including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $673.4 million.

We will offer shares of our common stock pursuant to the offering until January 26, 2014, unless all shares being offered have been sold, in which case the offering will be terminated. If all of the shares we are offering in the offering have not been sold by January 26, 2014, we may extend the offering as permitted under applicable law. In addition, at the discretion of our board of directors, we may elect to extend the termination date of our offering of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan until we have sold all shares allocated to such plan through the reinvestment of distributions, in which case participants in the plan will be notified. The offering must be registered in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed or otherwise extended annually. We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time prior to the stated termination date.

The properties generally were acquired through the use of proceeds from our initial public offering and from available borrowings. We acquired 15 properties between June 4, 2013 and June 21, 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $88.3 million, consisting of approximately 619,000 gross rentable square feet. In connection with the purchases of these properties, we paid an affiliate of our advisor aggregate acquisition fees of approximately $1.8 million.
