PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Plymouth Board Terminates Offering; Authorizes Negotiation of Engagement Letter with Investment Banking Firm

Boston, MA (January 14, 2014) – Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors, in conjunction with the ongoing exploration of strategic alternatives to enhance the growth of the Company's portfolio, has decided to terminate the Company's current offering of its common stock effective May 6, 2014.

"Our Board is committed to pursuing opportunities to increase our portfolio and to generate potential increase in value for our stockholders," stated Jeffrey Witherell, the Company's CEO and Chairman. "We believe that terminating our existing offering provides us with greater flexibility to explore alternative strategies."

In connection with pursuing strategic alternatives, which may include a listed public offering, the Company also announced that the Board of Directors has authorized the Company's advisor to negotiate an engagement letter with a nationally-recognized investment bank for financial advisory services.

In conjunction with the termination of the offering, the Company's Board of Directors also voted to terminate the distribution reinvestment plan (DRIP) and the Company's share redemption plan effective May 6, 2014.

Due to limitations under federal securities laws the Company is unable to provide further detail regarding possible strategic alternatives until further notice. There is no set timetable for the Board of Directors to review alternatives and there can be no assurances that the review process will result in any transaction(s) being announced or completed.
