Item 8.01. Other Events
Strategic Storage Trust, Inc. (the "Registrant") previously disclosed that it expected the primary offering portion of its follow-on offering would close on or around September 22, 2013. On September 22, 2013, the Registrant will cease offering shares under the follow-on offering; however, the Registrant will accept subscriptions for a short period of time after September 22, 2013 under certain limited circumstances.
In connection with the pending close-down of the follow-on offering described above and in light of current market conditions, the board of directors of the Registrant has been exploring certain strategic alternatives to create stockholder liquidity. On May 30, 2013, the Registrant engaged Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as its investment banker to assist the Registrant in analyzing these strategic alternatives.
