With the
authorization of its board of directors, Hines Global REIT, Inc. ("Hines Global
REIT") declared distributions for the months of January - March 2010. These
distributions will be calculated based on stockholders of record each day
from January through March 2010 in an amount equal to $0.00191781 per
share, per day. Distributions for the months of January and February will be
paid on March 1, 2010 and distributions for the month of March 2010
will be paid on April 1, 2010. All distributions will be paid in cash
or reinvested in stock for those participating in Hines Global REIT's dividend
reinvestment plan.
Statements
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations
or projections relating to the timing of payment of distributions, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements include the risks associated with Hines
Global REIT's ability to pay distributions to its stockholders and the sources
of such distribution payments, Hines Global REIT's ability to locate and make
suitable investments, and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of
Hines Global REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-11.
