Forward-Looking Statements The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the information in the KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Commission Exchange (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2016 (the “Annual Report”), and in KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016, filed with the SEC on November 14, 2016, including the “Risk Factors” contained therein. For a full description of the limitations, methodologies and assumptions used to value KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s estimated value per share, see KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on December 15, 2016. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The valuation methodology for KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s real estate investments assumes that its properties realize the projected cash flows and exit cap rates and that investors would be willing to invest in such properties at cap rates equal to the cap rates used in the valuation. Though the appraisals and valuation estimates used in calculating the estimated value per share are Duff & Phelps and Landauer Services’ best estimates as of September 30, 2016, and/or KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s and KBS Capital Advisors LLC’s (“the Advisor”) best estimates as of December 8, 2016, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT can give no assurance that these estimated values will be realized by KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT. These statements also depend on factors such as future economic, competitive and market conditions, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s ability to maintain occupancy levels and rental rates at its properties, and other risks identified in Part I, Item IA of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and its subsequent quarterly reports. Actual events may cause the value and returns on KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s investments to be less than that used for purposes of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s estimated value per share. 2

 Estimated value per share2 calculated using information as of September 30, 2016 • Net asset value; no enterprise (portfolio) premium or discount applied • Considered potential participation fee that would be due to the advisor in a hypothetical liquidation if the required shareholder return thresholds are met.  KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT followed the IPA Valuation Guidelines, which included independent third-party appraisals for all of its consolidated properties and one of its two unconsolidated joint venture investments in real estate properties. Duff & Phelps and Landauer Services, LLC were engaged to provide appraisals of the estimated market values of real estate assets. Duff & Phelps provided appraisals of all investments in consolidated real estate properties (excluding undeveloped land) and 110 William Street, and Landauer provided appraisals of all investments in undeveloped land. The appraisals were performed in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Profession Practice set forth by the Appraisal Institute and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). • The valuation of the Company’s real estate properties were based on (i) on appraisals of such investments performed by third-party valuation firms and (ii) in the case of one office property, the appraised value of the property reduced by valuation information provided by the Advisor related to the marketing of the property subsequent to the appraisal date.  Non-controlling interest liability due to our joint venture partners calculated by assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the underlying real estate properties at their current appraised values and the payoff of any related debt at its fair value, based on the profit participation thresholds contained in the joint venture agreements. 1For more information, see KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2016. 2The estimated value of the REIT’s assets less the estimated value of the REIT’s liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2016.
