("Fund I") and USGP II Investor, LP ("Fund II") and their respective constituent funds in connection with their partial liquidation. The Issuer's common stock and Partnership Units were acquired by Fund I and Fund II and their respective constituent funds as the result of the following transactions that were consummated concurrently with the Issuer's initial public offering on February 11, 2015: (i) Fund I contributed its interests in its property-owning subsidiaries to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Partnership Units, (ii) Fund I purchased from the Issuer shares of common stock for cash in a private placement,

The Reporting Person received 5,713 shares of common stock and 37,959 Partnership Units from Fund I, Fund II and their respective constituent funds. The liquidation and distribution were completed in accordance with the organizational documents of each of Fund I, Fund II and their respective constituent funds and no amounts were paid in connection with the distributions of these shares of common stock and Partnership Units.
