Disclaimer and Risk Factors

Risk Factors – Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc. (SST II)

•

As of December 31, 2014, our accumulated decit was approximately $2.4 million, and we anticipate that our operations will not be protable in 2015.

•

We have paid distributions from sources other then our cash ows from operations, including from the net proceeds of this oering. 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 distributitions. Until we generate cash flows sucient to pay distributions to you, we may pay distributions from the net proceeds of this opering or from borrowings in anticipation of future cash ows.

•

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 ve years after completion of this opering, if at all; therefore, it may be dicult to sell your shares. If you sell your shares, it will likely be at a substantial discount. Our charter does not require us to pursue a liquidity transacCon at any time.

•

This is an initial public opering; we have little prior operating history, and the prior performance of real estate programs sponsored by aliates of our sponsor may not be indicative of our future results.

•

This is a “best eorts” opering. If we are unable to raise substantial funds in this oering, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate--related investments, and the value of your investment may puctuate more widely with the performance of specic investments.

•

We are a “blind pool” because we have not identied any properties to acquire with the net proceeds from this opering. As a result, you will not be able to evaluate the economic merits of our future investments prior to their purchase. We may be unable to invest the net proceeds from this oering on acceptable terms to investors, or at all.

•

There are substantial conicts of interest among us and our sponsor, advisor, property manager and dealer manager.

•

Our advisor will face conicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties, including conicts with our sponsor and Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc., and such conicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could adversely aect our investment opportunities.

•

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.

•

We will pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor, its aliates and participating broker--dealers, which will reduce cash available for investment and distribution. We may be required to pay our advisor a signicant distribution if our advisor agreement is involuntarily terminated.

•

We may incur substantial debt, which could hinder our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders or could decrease the value of your investment.

•

We may fail to qualify as a REIT, which could adversely aect our operations and our ability to make distributions.

•

Our board of directors may change any of our investment objectives without your consent.

Self Storage

•

Fastest--growing sector of the U.S. commercial real estate industry over the last 35 years(1)

•

Self storage properties historically produce stable revenue streams(2)

(1) Self Storage Association “Industry Fact Sheet” (6/13). Although self storage is the fastest–growing sector in U.S. commercial real estate, there is no guarantee that SST2 will experience similar growth.

(2) “Demand for storage is driven by major demographic trends which are going to happen regardless of GDP growth rates, unemployment or what the S&P 500 is doing. . . accordingly, [self] storage is recession resistant.” Source: “Gates: Recession--resistant property is best for investors” -- Austin Business Journal by Cody Lyon, Sta Writer, September 2011. Past performance is no indication of future results. It is possible to lose money on this investment. While the self storage industry may be resistant to recessions, there is no guarantee that a related investment will realize a prot or prevent against loss. Distributions are not guaranteed. Diversication does not ensure a prot or guarantee against a loss.
