Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay to the Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock. As of May 31, 2020, we estimated approximately $42.3 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We intend for our NAV to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. As such, we do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.

The valuation for our real properties as of May 31, 2020 was provided by the Independent Valuation Firm in accordance with our valuation procedures and determined by starting with the appraised value. Certain key assumptions that were used by the Independent Valuation Firm in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:

DISTRIBUTIONS

We have declared monthly distributions for each class of our common stock. To date, each class of our common stock has received the same gross distribution per share. Monthly gross distributions were $0.0454 per share for each share class for the month of May 2020. The net distribution per share is calculated as the gross distribution per share less any distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to Class T shares and Class W shares. Since distribution fees are not paid with respect to Class I shares, the net distributions payable with respect to Class I shares are equal to the gross distributions payable with respect to Class I shares. The table below details the net distributions for each class of our common stock for the period presented:

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The global pandemic and resulting shut down of large parts of the U.S. economy has created significant uncertainty and enhanced investment risk across many asset classes, including real estate. However, we believe we are well-positioned to navigate this unprecedented period. Our balance sheet as of May 31, 2020 was strong with over $500.0 million of cash and less than 30% leverage, calculated as our total borrowings outstanding divided by the fair value of our real property plus cash and cash equivalents. In addition, our portfolio was 97.2% leased as of May 31, 2020 and is diversified across 52 assets totaling 10.4 million square feet. Our buildings contain a diverse roster of 102 customers, large and small, spanning a multitude of industries and sectors across 17 markets. Our NAV as of May 31, 2020 is $10.06 per share, which is flat relative to the previous month’s NAV per share and our distribution represents a 5.17% annualized yield before the effect of annual distribution fees that are payable with respect to Class T shares and Class W shares.

Our tenured and experienced asset management teams are working directly with our customers to manage through these turbulent times. Within our existing portfolio, approximately 91% of our customers (based on gross May rent) continued to pay their rent for May 2020, compared to average annual collections of over 99% prior to the pandemic. We do not currently expect any material difference for collections in June 2020. However, many of our customers’ businesses have been disrupted and some of our more impacted customers are experiencing lost revenue. Our teams are working with these customers to ensure they take advantage of any available insurance and government stimulus programs, which may help them pay rent whether in full or in part. Where appropriate, we have restructured leases and may restructure additional leases to provide temporary rent relief needed by certain customers while positioning ourselves to recapture abated rent over time. As of the date of this filing, we had executed or agreed to such forbearance agreements with approximately 6% of our customers (based on gross rent). We can provide no assurances that we will be able to continue to collect rent at the same level that we did prior to the pandemic. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to recover unpaid rent.

While the uncertain length and depth of the damage from business disruptions remain a significant risk, we believe our NAV as of May 31, 2020 currently reflects this short-term uncertainty, as the Independent Valuation Firm has proactively increased credit loss reserves that may result from forbearance agreements or increased vacancies in the broader market. Going forward, the market disruption may slow our pace of deployment as sellers may be less willing to transact. Slower deployment of capital into income producing real estate further reduces cash flow generated to cover our distributions to our stockholders and may cause us to reduce our NAV in future periods in the absence of asset appreciation or expense support from the Advisor. However, we believe our strong balance sheet and ability as an operator will allow us to be a patient buyer of assets in order to maximize long-term total return and value creation for our stockholders.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the sixth risk factor in the section titled "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our General Business Operations and Our Corporate Structure” on page 69 of the Prospectus:

4


The current outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting impacts on the U.S. economy and financial markets has created extreme uncertainty and volatility with respect to the current and future values of real estate, and therefore our NAV per share, as well as the market value of our debt (including associated interest rate hedges). As a result, our NAV per share may not reflect the actual realizable value of our underlying properties at any given time or the market value of our debt (including associated interest rate hedges).

The current outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting impacts on the U.S. economy and financial markets have created extreme uncertainty and volatility with respect to the current and future values of real estate and real estate-related assets, borrowings and hedges. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue to have a significant impact on local, national and global economies and has resulted in a world-wide economic slowdown. The fallout from the ongoing pandemic on our investments is uncertain; however, it is expected to have a negative impact on the overall real estate market. In addition, slower transaction volume may result in less data for assessing real estate values. This increases the risk that our NAV per share may not reflect the actual realizable value of our underlying properties at any given time, as valuations and appraisals of our properties and real estate-related assets are only estimates of market value as of the end of the prior month and may not reflect the changes in values resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as this impact is occurring rapidly and is not immediately quantifiable. To the extent real estate values decline after the date we disclose our NAV, whether due to the COVID-19 outbreak or otherwise, (i) we may overpay to redeem our shares, which would adversely affect the investment of non-redeeming stockholders, and (ii) new investors may overpay for their investment in our common stock, which would heighten their risk of loss. Furthermore, because we generally do not mark to market our property-level mortgages and corporate-level credit facilities that are intended to be held to maturity or our associated interest rate hedges that are intended to be held to maturity, the realizable value of our company or our assets that are encumbered by debt may be higher or lower than the value used in the calculation of our NAV. This risk may be exacerbated by the current market volatility, which can lead to large and sudden swings in the fair value of our assets and liabilities. We currently estimate the fair value of our debt (inclusive of associated interest rate hedges) that was intended to be held to maturity as of May 31, 2020 was $4.4 million higher than par for such debt in aggregate, meaning that if we used the fair value of our debt rather than par (and treated the associated hedge as part of the same financial instrument), our NAV would be lower by approximately $4.4 million, or $0.04 per share, as of May 31, 2020.
