Forward-Looking Statement

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the press release furnished as an exhibit to this report, contains forward-looking statements, such as statements concerning the further acquisition of industrial properties by the Company, that are based on the Company’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks associated with the Company’s ability to consummate additional acquisitions and otherwise execute on its investment strategy, the availability of affordable financing, the Company’s ability to identify and time investments that will generate attractive returns for investors, customers’ ability to continue to comply with the terms of their respective leases, and those risks set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. Although these forward-looking statements reflect management’s belief as to future events, actual events or the Company’s investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. To the extent that the Company’s assumptions differ from actual results, the Company’s ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including its ability to consummate additional acquisitions and financings, to invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality real estate investments, and to generate attractive returns for investors, may be significantly hindered. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The Company cannot assure you that it will attain its investment objectives.
