MVP REIT and MVP REIT II Merger Approved By Shareholders

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 2, 2017) – MVP REIT, Inc. and MVP REIT II, Inc. announced today that at its 2017 Annual Meeting held on September 27, 2017, its shareholders voted to approve their previously announced proposed merger. With this approval, MVP I will merge with and into a wholly-owned merger subsidiary of MVP II with the merger subsidiary continuing as the surviving entity. In addition, the combined company will be renamed The Parking REIT, Inc.
"This merger represents a significant step in the evolution of our company. We believe there is a tremendous opportunity to consolidate assets in this truly unique and attractive category of properties," said Michael Shustek, chairman and chief executive officer of MVP I, and president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of MVP II. "With this merger, The Parking REIT is singularly positioned with the platform, scale and expertise to be the leading owner of parking lots and garages in order to maximize value for our shareholders. This important milestone enhances our ability to acquire additional properties, taking advantage of a favorable supply/demand imbalance, while pursuing our next step of listing our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange."
