Item 8.01 Other Events

Developments Relating to Our Second Quarter Redemptions

Under our Class E Share Redemption Program (the “Class E SRP”) that is currently in effect, funds for redemptions made at the end of each quarter are generally limited to an amount equal to (i) funds received from the sale of Class E shares under our distribution reinvestment plan during such calendar quarter, plus (ii) 50% of the difference between (a) the proceeds (net of sales commissions) received by us from the sale of Class A, Class W and Class I shares in our public primary offering and under our distribution reinvestment plan during the most recently completed calendar quarter, and (b) the dollar amount used to redeem Class A, Class W and Class I shares during the most recently completed calendar quarter pursuant to the Class A, W and I Share Redemption Program, less (iii) funds used for redemptions of Class E shares in the most recently completed quarter in excess of such quarter’s applicable redemption cap due to qualifying death or disability requests of a stockholder during such calendar quarter. However, our board of directors may from time to time, but is not obligated to, authorize funds for redemptions of Class E shares in greater or lower amounts. In particular, our board of directors intends to make an additional approximately $20.8 million available for Class E share redemptions made at the end of the second quarter of 2013. We are not obligated to redeem shares of our common stock under the Class E SRP. The foregoing limitation is referred to as the “Quarterly Redemption Cap.”

The Quarterly Redemption Cap applicable to redemption requests in the second quarter of 2013 is expected to be approximately $23.8 million (the “Second Quarter Redemption Cap”), which includes the additional approximately $20.8 million the board of directors intends to make available. Through June 15, 2013 (the “Deadline”), the last day for second quarter 2013 redemption requests to be submitted under the Class E SRP, we had received requests to redeem approximately 15.8 million shares of common stock (the “Total Second Quarter Redemption Requests”), approximately 679,000 of which are for qualifying death and disability redemption requests. Based on application of the Second Quarter Redemption Cap, we expect that requesting stockholders whose requests were received on or before the Deadline will be redeemed pro rata.

Based on the June 26, 2013 NAV of $6.84 per Class E share, we expect to redeem, for the second quarter of 2013, approximately 27% of the Class E shares requested to be redeemed on or before the Deadline, including all shares requested pursuant to qualifying death and disability requests. We expect that Class E shares requested to be redeemed on or before the Deadline pursuant to requests other than qualifying death and disability requests will be satisfied on a pro rata basis and that approximately 23% of such shares (the “Pro Rata Percentage”) will be redeemed. The actual Pro Rata Percentage of redemptions will be determined, in part, based on the NAV per share on June 28, 2013 pursuant to the terms of the Class E SRP. A copy of the Class E SRP was mailed to stockholders, was included as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2012, and is also available on our web site at www.dividendcapitaldiversified.com. In accordance with the Class E SRP, any portion of a redemption request of a stockholder that is not honored will be deemed automatically withdrawn, and any such stockholder may resubmit a request in a subsequent quarter (subject to the applicable Quarterly Redemption Cap and all other terms and conditions of the Class E SRP). We will not retain redemption requests that are not honored.

The Second Quarter Redemption Cap, Total Second Quarter Redemption Requests and Pro Rata Percentage are preliminary figures that are subject to change. Pursuant to the terms of the Class E SRP, stockholders who submitted timely redemption requests may withdraw their requests, in whole or in part, by submitting a written request that we receive on or before June 28, 2013. In addition, any stockholder who has requested redemption and is a participant in our distribution reinvestment plan will remain a participant in the distribution reinvestment plan unless we receive written notice terminating the stockholder’s participation in accordance with the distribution reinvestment plan. Any stockholder that wishes to withdraw a redemption request or terminate their participation in the distribution reinvestment plan should submit the same in writing to:

Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Among the factors that may cause the Second Quarter Redemption Cap, Total Second Quarter Redemption Requests and Pro Rata Percentage to vary are future sales and redemptions of the Company’s shares of common stock and whether the Company’s board of directors authorizes funds for redemptions of Class E shares in greater or lower amounts than the standard Quarterly Redemption Cap. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
