Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 24, 2016, a subsidiary of Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) executed a purchase and sale agreement (the “San Antonio Sale Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party (the “Buyer”) for the sale of a self storage facility and industrial warehouse/office space included therein located in San Antonio, Texas (the “San Antonio Property”). The information in this Item 1.01 description is qualified in its entirety by the full San Antonio Sale Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The sale price for the San Antonio Property is approximately $15.65 million, less closing costs and disposition fees payable to the Registrant’s advisor. The Buyer is obligated to make a deposit of $250,000 in connection with the execution of the San Antonio Sale Agreement. The San Antonio Sale Agreement provides for a due diligence period of approximately three months during which the Buyer may terminate the San Antonio Sale Agreement (with a full return of the earnest money), for any reason. The current outside closing date is during the fourth quarter of 2016, although such closing may occur earlier upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The San Antonio Sale Agreement is subject to various contingencies and the Registrant cannot provide assurance whether or when this transaction will occur.

The San Antonio Property was purchased by the Registrant in the first quarter of 2016 as part of a portfolio of four properties. Pursuant to the purchase agreement for the portfolio of properties, the Registrant allocated approximately $12.3 million of the total purchase price of the four properties to the San Antonio Property, excluding acquisition costs. The Registrant will use a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the San Antonio Property to pay down a portion of the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility. The Registrant will use the remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the San Antonio Property (1) to redeem a portion of the Preferred Units of its operating partnership currently outstanding, and/or (2) for other corporate purposes such as to pay distributions and acquire properties.
