DALLAS, August 19, 2014 — Behringer announced today that the board of directors of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. has declared a special distribution of $0.50 per share of common stock. The special distribution is payable on September 18, 2014 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2014.

“We are pleased that the company’s continued strong performance has enabled this special distribution,” said Michael O’Hanlon, CEO of Behringer’s opportunity platform. “It reflects the successful sale of selected portfolio assets, the continued improvement in property operations, as well as the strength of the company’s balance sheet.”

O’Hanlon also said, “We may consider additional acquisitions positioned for full-cycling within the time frame outlined in the prospectus, as well as asset dispositions that could enable additional special distributions.”

In accordance with Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II’s valuation policy, the most recently estimated share value of $10.09, which was established in August 2013, will be adjusted by the amount of the special distribution to a revised share value of $9.59. The next estimated share valuation will be completed before the end of this calendar year.

When paid, the September 2014 special distribution of $0.50 per share will increase the total cumulative special distributions to $1.00 per share paid to shareholders to date. Moreover, for shareholders who invested on the date that subscriptions were first accepted, the company has paid to date cumulative regular distributions of $1.77 per share.

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II holds interests in six multifamily/student housing investments, three office investments, one hospitality investment, one self-storage investment and one mezzanine loan.
