Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, SS Growth Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership of Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”), and certain property-owning special purpose entities wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “Borrower”), obtained a senior secured revolving loan (the “KeyBank Facility”) from KeyBank, National Association, as administrative agent (“KeyBank”), and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to a credit agreement, dated July 31, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), for the purpose of funding real property acquisitions.  On July 26, 2017, the maturity date under the Credit Agreement was extended to September 29, 2017, on September 29, 2017, the maturity date under the Credit Agreement was extended to November 30, 2017, and on November 30, 2017, the maturity date under the Credit Agreement was extended to December 14, 2017.  The maximum potential amount the Registrant may borrow under the KeyBank Facility is $40 million.

The Borrower and KeyBank are in the process of negotiating a new revolving loan, which is intended to replace the Credit Agreement. In the meantime, however, the parties have entered into the Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement that further extends the maturity date under the Credit Agreement to December 31, 2017.  The remaining terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement continue in full force and effect.  

The foregoing description of the Eighth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eighth Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
