Disclaimers and Risk Factors
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this material, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all 
such forward looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act 
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties, including known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore,
such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of
forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We 
cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward looking statements contained in this material, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect 
to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our
assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and
provide distributions to stockholders, and our ability to find suitable investment properties, may be significantly hindered.  All forward-looking statements should be read
in light of the risks identified in our prospectus and supplements.
See our Form 10-K and recent Form 10-Q for specific risks associated with an investment in Strategic Storage Trust, Inc..
As of September 30, 2012, our accumulated deficit was approximately $58 million, and our operations will not be profitable in 2012.
No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock and we may not list our shares on a national securities exchange before three to five years after
completion of this offering, if at all. It may be difficult to sell your shares. If you sell your shares, it will likely be at a substantial discount.
We have paid distributions from sources other than our cash flows from operations, including from the net proceeds from our initial public offering. We are not
prohibited from undertaking such activities by our charter, bylaws or investment policies, and we may use an unlimited amount from any source to pay our
distributions. Until we generate operating cash flows sufficient to pay distributions to you, we may pay distributions from the net proceeds of this offering or from
borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows. We also may be required to sell assets or issue new securities for cash in order to pay distributions. Any such actions
could reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in assets and negatively impact the amount of income available for future distributions.
We have no employees and must depend on our advisor to select investments and conduct our operations, and there is no guarantee that our advisor will devote
adequate time or resources to us.
Our board of directors may change any of our investment objectives, including our focus on self storage facilities.
We will pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor, its affiliates and participating broker-dealers, which will reduce cash available for investment and
distribution.
There are substantial conflicts of interest among us and our sponsor, advisor, property manager and dealer manager.
We may fail to remain qualified as a REIT, which could adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions.
We may incur substantial debt, which could hinder our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders or could decrease the value of your investment.
Future distribution declarations are at the sole discretion of our board of directors and are not guaranteed. Since our inception, our cumulative distributions have
exceeded cumulative GAAP earnings. We cannot assure you that we will achieve any of our investment objectives.
