On August 18, 2017, a subsidiary of Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc. (the “Registrant”) executed a purchase and sale agreement with an unaffiliated third party (the “Palm Beach Gardens Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of a self storage facility to be located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida (the “Palm Beach Gardens Property”). The information in this Item 1.01 description is qualified in its entirety by the full Palm Beach Gardens Purchase Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The Palm Beach Gardens Property will be a newly constructed self storage property that is expected to contain approximately 77,300 net rentable square feet and approximately 770 rental units. The purchase price for the Palm Beach Gardens Property is approximately $18.9 million, plus closing and acquisition costs. The Registrant expects the acquisition of the Palm Beach Gardens Property to close in the third quarter of 2018 after construction is complete on the self storage facility and at or about the time a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the Palm Beach Gardens Property. The Registrant expects to fund such acquisition with a combination of net proceeds from the Registrant’s offering and, a credit facility or other debt financing.

Pursuant to the Palm Beach Gardens Purchase Agreement, the Registrant will be obligated to purchase the Palm Beach Gardens Property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. The Registrant will decide whether to acquire the Palm Beach Gardens Property generally based upon:

There can be no assurance that the Registrant will complete the acquisition of the Palm Beach Gardens Property. In some circumstances, if the Registrant fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to approximately $500,000 in earnest money on the Palm Beach Gardens Property.

Other properties may be identified in the future that the Registrant may acquire prior to or instead of the Palm Beach Gardens Property. Due to the considerable conditions to the consummation of the acquisition of the Palm Beach Gardens Property, the Registrant cannot make any assurances that the closing of the Palm Beach Gardens Property is probable.
