EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2017 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 1 of Part I “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” (ii) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (iii) Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures.” We have also updated the signature page, the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1, and our financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibit 101. During the performance of our year end procedures on the consolidated financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”), we identified incorrect allocations of net income between our stockholders and our joint venture partner in the Brindleyplace joint venture and incorrect classifications of certain redemptions as distributions pertaining to preferred equity securities of the Brindleyplace joint venture. As a result, we concluded that we should amend and restate our previously issued interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. Certain immaterial prior year corrections related to the incorrect allocation of net income described above also have been restated for the periods included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for comparative purposes.

We are amending and restating these items solely to reflect this correction of income allocation as well as the reclassification of certain distributions as redemptions. No other sections were affected, but for the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety, as amended, our Original Form 10-Q. This report on Form 10-Q/A is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described above. This restatement does not affect previously reported total assets, total liabilities, revenues, expenses or other components of net income, taxable income, total equity, total cash flows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities. In addition, these changes do not result in any changes to Funds from Operations (FFO), Modified Funds from Operations (MFFO), or amounts paid to our joint venture partners. Likewise, these changes do not impact the Company's business strategy, economic performance or its qualification as a REIT. For more detailed information regarding the specific items being restated, see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

1. ORGANIZATION

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in Hines Global REIT, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly and in conformity with GAAP the financial position of Hines Global REIT, Inc. as of March 31, 2017, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Hines Global REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), was formed as a Maryland corporation on December 10, 2008 under the General Corporation Law of the state of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments. The Company conducts most of its operations through Hines Global REIT Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Company operates in a manner to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The business of the Company is managed by Hines Global REIT Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), pursuant to the Advisory Agreement between the Company, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership (the “Advisory Agreement”).

The Company raised the equity capital for its real estate investments through two public offerings from August 5, 2009 through April 11, 2014. The Company continues to offer up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to an offering which commenced on April 24, 2014 (the “DRP Offering”). Collectively, through its public offerings, the Company has raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $3.0 billion, including the DRP Offering, all of which have been invested in the Company’s real estate portfolio.

In March 2015, the Company completed its investment of the proceeds raised through its public offerings. As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned interests in 40 real estate investments, consisting of the following types of investments:


•	Domestic office investments (11 investments)


•	Domestic other investments (8 investments)


•	International office investments (10 investments)


•	International other investments (11 investments)

Discussed below are additional details related to the Company’s investment in real estate-related debt as of March 31, 2017. This investment is included in the Company’s domestic other investments segment. All other investments are operating real estate investments.


•	Flagship Capital JV — 97% interest in a joint venture with Flagship Capital GP, which was formed to provide real estate loans. The joint venture has two loans receivable, totaling $15.3 million, outstanding as of March 31, 2017. The Company is not affiliated with Flagship Capital GP. See Note 4 — Real Estate Loans Receivable for additional information regarding these loans receivable.

Consolidated VIEs

The WaterWall Place JV, Aviva Coral Gables JV, and Flagship Capital JV were each determined to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary and the Company has consolidated these joint ventures accordingly. A summary of the assets and liabilities of these consolidated VIEs, as well as the maximum loss exposure of the Company from these consolidated VIEs, is as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents



	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Maximum risk of loss ⁽¹⁾	$	29,122	$	30,446
Assets held by VIEs	$	135,117	$	136,705
Assets held as collateral for debt	$	135,117	$	136,705
Liabilities held by VIEs	$	90,795	$	91,792


(1)	Represents the Company's contributions, net of distributions, made to the consolidated VIEs.

Restrictions on the use of a VIE’s assets are significant because they serve as collateral for such VIE’s debt, and the Company is generally required to obtain its partners’ approval in accordance with the respective joint venture agreements for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures on the Company’s consolidated financial statements primarily relate to (i) contributions for the funding of loans receivable or distributions related to the receipt of proceeds from the collection of loans receivable at the Flagship JV or (ii) operating distributions received from the WaterWall Place JV and the Aviva Coral Gables JV, respectively. The Company and its partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements for the VIEs, which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company received distributions of $1.3 million, net of capital contributions of $0.5 million in accordance with the Company’s respective joint venture agreements. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received capital distributions of $6.6 million, net of capital contributions of $0.1 million in accordance with the Company’s respective joint venture agreements. This activity is eliminated in consolidation of the VIEs, but increases, or decreases in the case of distributions received, the Company’s maximum risk of loss.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Described below are certain of the Company’s significant accounting policies. The disclosures regarding several of the policies have been condensed or omitted in accordance with interim reporting regulations specified by Form 10-Q. Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a complete listing of all of its significant accounting policies.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Hines Global REIT, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as the related amounts of noncontrolling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, the Company has determined that the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE. However, the Company meets the disclosure exemption criteria under ASU 2015-02, as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest.

Reclassifications

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-18 regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the statements of cash flows, the Company reclassified $3.8 million of restricted cash from investing activities on the statements of cash flows to the cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances in 2016 to be consistent with the 2017 presentation.

Tenant and Other Receivables

Tenant and other receivables are shown at cost in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.6 million and $2.5 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Table of Contents

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of direct costs incurred in obtaining debt financing (see Note 5 — Debt Financing). These fees are presented as a reduction to the related debt liability for permanent mortgages and as an asset for revolving credit arrangements. In total, deferred financing costs (net of amortization) were $9.8 million and $10.8 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These costs are amortized into interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were amortized into interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Other Assets

Other assets included the following (in thousands):



	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
Prepaid expenses	4,400		2,647
Deferred tax assets	13,613		11,259
Other⁽¹⁾	238		6,454
Other assets	$	18,251	$	20,360


(1)	Primarily consists of $6.3 million held by an escrow agent as of December 31, 2016. This amount was returned to the Company in January 2017.

Revenue Recognition

Rental payments are generally paid by the tenants prior to the beginning of each month or quarter to which they relate. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company recorded liabilities of $22.8 million and $27.3 million related to prepaid rental payments, which were included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivable was $53.6 million and $89.4 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenant and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provisions. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-01 to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted with prospective application. The Company expects that upon the adoption of this guidance most real estate transactions will be accounted for under the asset acquisition (or disposal) guidance and, accordingly, any future acquisition expenses related to these acquisitions will be capitalized. Under the asset acquisition guidance, the purchase price will be allocated based on the relative fair value of the various components.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

As of March 31, 2017, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value of $2.1 billion, was $2.1 billion. As of December 31, 2016, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value of $2.2 billion, was $2.2 billion. Management has utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its notes payable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of notes payable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of March 31, 2017, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of its fair market value of notes payable and has determined that they are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed values could be realized.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company estimated that the book values of its real estate loans receivable approximate their fair values. Management has utilized available market information, such as interest rate and spread assumptions of loans receivable with similar terms and remaining maturities, to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its real estate notes receivable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of real estate notes receivable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of March 31, 2017, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of its fair market value of real estate notes receivable and has determined that they are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed values could be realized.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, distributions receivable, tenant and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable. The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments (i.e., impairments) in certain circumstances. The inputs associated with the valuation of long-lived assets are generally included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, there were no events that have occurred which indicated that fair value adjustments of the Company’s long-lived assets were necessary.

9. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company’s investments in real estate are geographically diversified and management evaluates the operating performance of each at an individual investment level and considers each investment to be an operating segment. The Company has aggregated all of its operating segments into four reportable segments based on the location of the segment and the underlying asset class. Management has aggregated the Company's investments that are not office properties in “other” based on the geographic location of the investment, due to the Company's ownership of interests in various different types of investments that do not stand alone as their own reportable segment. The Company’s reporting segments consist of the following, based on the Company’s investments as of March 31, 2017:


•	Domestic office investments (11 investments)


•	Domestic other investments (8 investments)


•	International office investments (10 investments)


•	International other investments (11 investments)

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In November 2013, Dorsey & Whitney LLP signed a lease renewal for its space in 50 South Sixth located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with this renewal, the Company committed to fund $20.8 million of tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to its space, to be paid in future periods. As of March 31, 2017, $8.6 million of the Company’s commitment remained unfunded and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2016, Stinson Leonard Street LLP signed a new lease for its space in 50 South Sixth located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In connection with this lease, the Company committed to fund $12.2 million of tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to its space, to be paid in future periods. As of March 31, 2017, $10.9 million of the Company’s commitment remained unfunded and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance.

12. RESTATEMENT

During the performance of the Company’s year end procedures on the consolidated financial statements to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, management identified incorrect allocations of net income between the Company’s stockholders and the Company’s joint venture partner in the Brindleyplace joint venture (the “Brindleyplace JV”) and an incorrect classification of certain redemptions as distributions pertaining to preferred equity securities of the the Brindleyplace JV during the three months ended March 31, 2017. As a result, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A have been restated from the amounts previously reported to reflect the appropriate allocation of net income and redemptions related to the Brindleyplace JV.

Certain immaterial prior year corrections related to the incorrect allocation of net income described above also have been restated for the periods included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for comparative purposes.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Aviva Coral Gables

In April 2017, the Aviva Coral Gables JV, in which the Company owns an 83% interest, entered into a contract to sell Aviva Coral Gables, a multi-family property in Miami, Florida. The contract sales price for Aviva Coral Gables is $100.0 million. Although the Company expects the closing of this sale to occur in June 2017, there can be no assurances as to if or when this sale will be completed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Further, as described in Note 12 — Restatement, during the performance of our year end procedures on the consolidated financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, we identified incorrect allocations of net income between our stockholders and our joint venture partner in the Brindleyplace joint venture (the “Brindleyplace JV”) and an incorrect classification of certain redemptions as distributions pertaining to preferred equity securities of the Brindleyplace JV. As a result, our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and any references to the financial statements herein have been restated from the amounts previously reported to restate the allocated net income and redemptions related to the Brindleyplace JV. Certain immaterial prior year corrections related to the incorrect allocation of net income described above also have been restated for the periods included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for comparative purposes. See Item 4 —“Controls and Procedures” for a discussion of the impact of these corrections on our internal controls over financial reporting.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. Such statements include statements concerning future financial performance and distributions, future debt and financing levels, acquisitions and investment objectives, payments to Hines Global REIT Advisors Limited Partnership (the “Advisor”), and its affiliates and other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto as well as all other statements that are not historical statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, the availability of future financing and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, pay distributions to our shareholders and maintain the value of any real estate investments and real estate-related investments in which we may hold an interest in the future, may be significantly hindered.

Table of Contents

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:




—	Whether we will have the opportunity to invest debt proceeds and proceeds from the sale of assets to acquire properties or other investments or whether such proceeds will be needed to redeem shares or for other purposes, and if proceeds are available for investment, our ability to make such investments in a timely manner and at appropriate amounts that provide acceptable returns;

—	Competition for tenants and real estate investment opportunities, including competition with affiliates of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”);

—	Our reliance on our Advisor, Hines and affiliates of Hines for our day-to-day operations and the selection of real estate investments, and our Advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide service at a level acceptable to us;

—	Risks associated with conflicts of interests that result from our relationship with our Advisor and Hines, as well as conflicts of interests certain of our officers and directors face relating to the positions they hold with other entities;

—	The potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs or other capital expenditures, as well as increases in property operating expenses and costs of compliance with environmental matters or discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties;

—	The availability and timing of distributions we may pay is uncertain and cannot be assured;

—	Our distributions have been paid using cash flows from financing activities, including proceeds from our public offerings, proceeds from debt financings and cash from the waiver of fees, and some or all of the distributions we pay in the future may be paid from similar sources or sources such as cash advances by our Advisor or cash resulting from a deferral or waiver of fees. When we pay distributions from certain sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have less funds available for the acquisition of properties, and your overall return may be reduced;

—	Risks associated with debt and our ability to secure financing;

—	Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, which may affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate;

—	Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates;

—	The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments;

—	Changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company;

—	International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions;

—	The lack of liquidity associated with our assets; and

—	Our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

—	Risks related to the United Kingdom's pending exit from the European Union (“Brexit”), including, but not limited to the decline of revenue derived from, and the market value of, properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

—	Our ability to refinance or sell properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe may be impacted by the economic and political uncertainty following the approval of “Brexit” by a majority of votes in the United Kingdom in June 2016 and the subsequent notice of departure sent by the United Kingdom to the European Union in March 2017.

These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.

Executive Summary

Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we”, “us” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on December 10, 2008, primarily for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally. Hines Global raised the equity capital for its real estate investments through two public offerings from August 2009 through April 2014. Hines Global continues to offer up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock under its distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to an offering which commenced on April 24, 2014 (the “DRP Offering”). Hines Global has raised approximately $3.0 billion through its public offerings, including the DRP Offering. Hines Global engaged Hines Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of Hines, to serve as the dealer manager for its public offerings.

On February 27, 2017, our board of directors determined a new net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock of $10.03, based on the number of shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2016, which represents a 2.0% decrease over the previously determined NAV per share of $10.24 as of December 31, 2015. The new NAV per share reflects a 9.4% increase in the aggregate appraised value of our real estate investments when compared to the purchase price of our real estate investments excluding closing costs, transaction fees and additional capital investments since acquisition. This 9.4% net increase resulted from a 20.3% appreciation in the aggregate appraised values of our real estate investments as of December 31, 2016, which was offset by 10.9% dilution resulting from the devaluation of the Euro, Australian dollar, and British Pound against the U.S dollar. See our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017 for more information on the methodologies used to determine, and the limitations of, our NAV per share.

We have substantially completed our investment phase and have accomplished one of our primary investment objectives of investing in a real estate portfolio that is diversified by asset type, geographic area, lease expirations and tenant industries. We may make additional investments in the future, from time to time, but we expect these investments will be funded using proceeds from the dispositions of other real estate investments and debt proceeds. As of March 31, 2017, we owned interests in 40 real estate investments which contain, in the aggregate, 16.0 million square feet of leasable space. Our portfolio includes the following investments:


•	Domestic office investments (11 investments)


•	Domestic other investments (8 investments)


•	International office investments (10 investments)


•	International other investments (11 investments)

Our portfolio is comprised of approximately 65% domestic and 35% international investments (based on our pro rata share of the estimated value of each of the investments) and consists of a variety of real estate asset classes. Our current investment types encompass approximately 67% office, 20% retail, 10% industrial and 3% multi-family (based on our effective interests of the estimated value of each of the investments). We believe that this diversification is directly in-line with our investment strategies of maintaining a well-diversified real estate portfolio and providing additional diversification across currencies.

We commenced the process of evaluating various strategic alternatives to execute a liquidity event (i.e., a sale of our assets, our sale or merger, a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, a tender offer for our shares, or another similar transaction). That process is ongoing, and we are continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives. There is no set timetable for the execution of such an event, and there is no assurance that any such event will occur.

As part of our ongoing portfolio management, we continually evaluate the merits of selling certain assets based on their current and projected market valuations, property-specific leasing and other operational dynamics, and other portfolio and market considerations. As a result, we strategically elected to sell two properties during 2016 (@1377 and Komo Plaza), one property during the first quarter of 2017 (the Brindleyplace Project), and we have entered into a contract for the sale of Aviva Coral Gables, which we expect will close during the second quarter of 2017.

The following table provides additional information regarding each of the properties in which we owned an interest as of March 31, 2017.

(1)	Represents the percentage leased based on the effective ownership of the Operating Partnership in the properties listed. On March 31, 2017, the Company owned a 99.99% interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. Affiliates of Hines owned the remaining 0.01% interest in the Operating Partnership.


(2)	For acquisitions denominated in a foreign currency, amounts have been translated to U.S. dollars at a rate based on the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date.

(3)

The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined as of the date of acquisition by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year following the date of acquisition by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses includes all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees).

The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, and the actual economic performance of each property for our period of ownership

Table of Contents

may differ materially from the amounts used in calculating the estimated going-in capitalization rate. These include assumptions, with respect to each property, that in-place tenants will continue to perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the property. In addition, with respect to Hock Plaza, Southpark, Fifty South Sixth, the Poland Logistics Portfolio, the Minneapolis Retail Center, 465 Victoria, One Westferry Circus, Riverside Center, 825 Ann, the Campus at Playa Vista, The Markets at Town Center, the Avenue at Murfreesboro, 55 M Street, 818 Bourke and The Summit, the projected property revenues in excess of expenses include assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to re-leasing vacant space.


(4)	The Domestic Other Investments presented in the table excludes the Flagship Capital JV. This investment is described in more detail below under “Other Real Estate Investments.”

(5)

Construction has been completed for these multi-family development properties. The estimated going-in capitalization rate is based on the projected revenues in excess of expenses once the property’s operations have stabilized divided by the construction cost of the property. The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, and the actual economic performance of the property for our period of ownership may differ materially from the amounts used in calculating the estimated going-in capitalization rate. These include assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to leasing vacant space and assumptions that in-place tenants will continue to perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following stabilization of the property.


(6)	The Poland Logistics Portfolio is comprised of five industrial parks located in Warsaw, Wroclaw and Upper Silesia, Poland.


(7)	The Harder Logistics Portfolio is comprised of three logistic buildings located in Nuremberg, Karlsdorf and Duisburg, Germany.


(8)	This amount represents the percentage leased assuming we own a 100% interest in each of these properties. The percentage leased based on our effective ownership interest in each property is 93%.

Other Real Estate Investments


•	Flagship Capital JV — 97% interest in a joint venture with Flagship Capital GP, which was formed to provide real estate loans. The joint venture has two loans receivable, totaling $15.3 million, outstanding as of March 31, 2017. Flagship Capital GP owns the remaining 3% interest in the joint venture. We are not affiliated with Flagship Capital GP.

Critical Accounting Policies

Each of our critical accounting policies involves the use of estimates that require management to make assumptions that are subjective in nature. Management relies on its experience, collects historical and current market data, and analyzes these assumptions in order to arrive at what it believes to be reasonable estimates. In addition, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A disclosure of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during 2017.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, our most significant demands for funds have been related to the purchase of real estate properties and other real estate-related investments. Specifically, we funded $5.1 billion of real estate investments using $3.0 billion of proceeds from our public offerings, including the DRP offering, and debt proceeds. We invested all of the proceeds raised through our public offerings by the end of 2015. As a result, any subsequent real estate investments will be funded using proceeds from the dispositions of other real estate investments and debt proceeds. Other significant demands for funds include the payment of operating expenses, distributions and debt service. Generally, we expect to meet these operating cash needs using cash flows from operating activities.

We have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore some or all of our distributions may continue to be paid from other sources, such as proceeds from our debt financings, proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, proceeds from the sales of assets, cash advances by our Advisor, and cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these other sources.

We believe that the proper use of leverage can enhance returns on real estate investments. As of March 31, 2017, our portfolio was 42% leveraged, based on the values of our real estate investments. At that time, we had $2.1 billion of principal outstanding under our various loan agreements with a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%. Approximately $221.6 million of our loans are maturing during the next year. We generally expect to refinance these loans, but we may repay them using our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) or other available cash for strategic purposes or if we are unable to refinance them at satisfactory terms.

The discussions below provide additional details regarding our cash flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues, which are used to pay direct leasing costs, property-level operating expenses and interest payments. Property-level operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages of property management personnel, utilities, cleaning, insurance, security and building maintenance costs, property management and leasing fees, and property taxes. Additionally, we incur general and administrative expenses, acquisition fees and expenses and asset management fees.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $28.8 million compared to $30.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.0 million primarily due to our dispositions of Komo Plaza in December 2016 and the Brindleyplace Project in February 2017. The decreases due to these property sales were offset by timing of rental payments and a termination payment received from the largest tenant at 25 Cabot Square.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities generally includes payments made for the acquisition of our real estate investments and capital expenditures at our properties, proceeds from the sale of our real estate investments and activities related to our real estate loans receivable. Net cash from investing activities increased $293.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the sale of the Brindleyplace Project in February 2017. The primary factors that contributed to the change between the two periods are summarized below.

2017

•

We received proceeds of $299.2 million from the sale of the Brindleyplace Project. The Brindleyplace Project was sold for a contract sales price of £260.0 million (approximately $325.1 million based on an exchange rate of $1.25 per GBP as of the transaction date). The Brindleyplace JV acquired the property in July 2010 for £186.2 million (approximately $282.5 million based on an exchange rate of $1.52 per GBP as of the transaction date).


•	We paid $8.4 million in capital expenditures at our operating properties.

2016


•	We paid $2.0 million in capital expenditures at our operating properties.


•	We made real estate loans of $1.2 million and received proceeds from the collection of real estate loans receivable of $0.2 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Redemptions

As described previously, we ceased offering primary shares pursuant to our public offerings in April 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, we redeemed $19.9 million and $15.2 million in shares of our common stock through our share redemption program. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we also redeemed $52.6 million of Convertible Preferred Equity Certificates (“CPEC”) held by the non controlling interest owner in the Brindleyplace JV.

Distributions

We have declared distributions for the months of January 2016 through May 2017 at an amount equal to $0.0017808 per share, per day. Distributions are paid monthly on the first business day following the completion of each month to which they relate. All distributions were or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those participating in our distribution

reinvestment plan. Distributions paid to stockholders (including those reinvested in stock) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $44.5 million and $44.5 million, respectively.

Our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fully fund distributions paid to stockholders. We funded 39% and 32% of total distributions for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, with cash flows from financing activities, which may include proceeds from our public offerings and proceeds from our debt financings. See “— Results of Operations — Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations” for additional information regarding our performance.

Debt Financings

We utilize permanent mortgage financing to leverage returns on our real estate investments and use borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to provide funding for near-term investment or working capital needs. As mentioned previously, our portfolio was 42% leveraged as of March 31, 2017 (based on the values of our real estate investments) with a weighted average interest rate of 2.5%.

Below is additional information regarding our loan activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. See Note 5 — Debt Financing for additional information regarding our outstanding debt:

2017


•	We borrowed approximately $38.0 million and made payments of $10.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.


•	We made a payment of $151.4 million to fully pay down the secured mortgage loan related to the Brindleyplace Project upon the sale of the property in February 2017.


•	We made payments of $1.3 million on our remaining outstanding mortgage loans.

2016


•	We borrowed approximately $34.0 million and made payments of $35.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.


•	We made payments of $2.9 million on our remaining outstanding mortgage loans.

(1)	Property revenues in excess of expenses include total revenues less property operating expenses, real property taxes, and property management fees.


(2)	Includes the property revenues in excess of expenses for the Brindleyplace Project, which was sold in February 2017 and Komo Plaza, which was sold in December 2016.

In total, property revenues in excess of expenses of our same-store properties decreased by 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Set forth below is a description of the significant variances in our property revenues in excess of expenses at our same-store properties:


•	International office investments:


◦	Revenues in excess of expenses of Perspective Défense decreased $2.2 million primarily due to vacancies at the building. Perspective Défense was 47% leased at March 31, 2017, compared to 100% leased at March 31, 2016.

◦

Declines in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar continue to cause declines in the operating results of some of our international properties. Specifically, the British pound declined 14% against the U.S. dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with the same period in 2016. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

Other changes

The decrease in depreciation and amortization in the table above is primarily due to declining foreign currency exchange rates as described above, as well as sales of Komo Plaza in 2016 and the Brindleyplace Project in 2017.

The increase in the gain on sale of real estate investments in the table above is due to the gain recognized upon the sale of the Brindleyplace Project in February 2017. The gain recognized is net of foreign exchange losses that had been recognized as other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity, and reclassified into earnings upon sale of the project.

The decrease in interest expense in the table above is primarily due to our lower debt balance for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The change in income tax provision (benefit) is primarily due to a $1.8 million deferred tax benefit recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 in relation to our properties in Poland.

Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)

Our international real estate investments use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The financial statements for these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date while income statement amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. By contrast, gains and losses related to transactions denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are recorded in foreign currency gains (losses) on the consolidated statement of operations. An exception is made where an intercompany loan or advance is deemed to be of a long-term investment nature, in which instance foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, these gain/losses were primarily related to the effect of remeasuring our borrowings denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies and the changes to the related exchange rates between the date of the borrowing and the end of each period.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) widely recognized by investors and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a real estate company. FFO excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization, as applied in accordance with GAAP, implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and also assumes that such assets are adequately maintained and renovated as required in order to maintain their value. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions such as occupancy rates, rental rates, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, it is management’s view, and we believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone is insufficient. In addition, FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate and impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets and in-substance real estate equity investments, which we believe provides management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the historical performance of our real estate portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs. A property will be evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable (i.e. the carrying amount exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the property). Undiscounted future cash flows are based on anticipated operating performance, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, stockholders are cautioned that due to the limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

In addition to FFO, management uses Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), as defined by the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate our operating performance. The IPA has recommended the use of MFFO as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs to enhance the assessment of the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be useful as a measure of the long-term operating performance of our investments or as a comparative measure to

Table of Contents

other publicly registered, non-listed REITs if we do not continue to operate with a limited life and targeted exit strategy, as currently intended and described herein. MFFO includes funds generated by the operations of our real estate investments and funds used in our corporate-level operations. MFFO is based on FFO, but includes certain additional adjustments which we believe are appropriate. Such items include reversing the effects of straight-line rent revenue recognition, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and certain other items as described below. Some of these adjustments are necessary to address changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP such as the accounting for acquisition-related expenses from a capitalization/depreciation model to an expensed-as-incurred model that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP rules for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO. These changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP affected all industries, and as a result of these changes, acquisition fees and expenses have typically been accounted for as operating expenses under GAAP. Management believes these fees and expenses do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. These changes also have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in FFO, as defined. Such items include amortization of out-of-market lease intangible assets and liabilities and certain tenant incentives. We expect that once we adopt ASU 2017-01, any acquisition-related expenses related to real estate acquisitions that we make thereafter will be capitalized rather than expensed. Therefore, we will not include adjustments for acquisition-related expenses for any such acquisitions when calculating MFFO.

Other adjustments included in MFFO are necessary to address issues that are common to publicly registered, non-listed REITs. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, we believe that non-listed REITs like us are unique in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases.

The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, including acquisition fees and expenses, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to our stockholders. As noted above, with respect to acquisitions of real properties prior to our adoption of ASU 2017-01, MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses related to such acquisitions. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to our stockholders. In connection with any future acquisitions of real properties, unless our Advisor determines to waive the payment of any then-outstanding acquisition-related costs otherwise payable to our Advisor, such costs will be paid from additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. Since MFFO excludes acquisition fees and expenses related to all of our acquisitions, MFFO would only be comparable to the operations of non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics.

Management uses MFFO to evaluate the financial performance of our investment portfolio, including the impact of potential future investments. In addition, management uses MFFO to evaluate and establish our distribution policy and the sustainability thereof. Further, we believe MFFO is one of several measures that may be useful to investors in evaluating the potential performance of our portfolio following the conclusion of the acquisition phase, as it excludes acquisition fees and expenses, as described herein.

MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete. MFFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining MFFO.

FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of our performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO and MFFO are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Please see the limitations listed below associated with the use of MFFO:

•

MFFO excludes acquisition fees payable to our Advisor and acquisition expenses. Although these amounts reduce net income, we generally have funded such costs with proceeds from our public offerings and acquisition-related indebtedness (and, solely with respect to acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with our acquisition of the Brindleyplace Project in July 2010, equity capital contributions from our joint venture partner) and do not consider these fees and expenses in the evaluation of our operating performance and determining MFFO.

Table of Contents

•

We use interest rate swap contracts and interest rate caps as economic hedges against the variability of interest rates on variable-rate loans. Although we expect to hold these instruments to maturity, if we were to settle these instruments currently, it would have an impact on our operating performance. Additionally, these derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP. MFFO excludes gains (losses) related to changes in these estimated values of our derivative instruments because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.

•

We use foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates on certain international investments. These derivative instruments are typically short-term and are frequently settled at amounts that result in additional amounts paid or received. However, such gains (losses) are excluded from MFFO since they are not considered to be operational in nature. Additionally, these derivative instruments are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis in accordance with GAAP. MFFO excludes gains (losses) related to changes in these estimated values of our derivative instruments because such adjustments may not be reflective of ongoing operations or may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.


•	We utilize the definition of FFO as set forth by NAREIT and the definition of MFFO as set forth by the IPA. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs, if they use different approaches.


•	Our business is subject to volatility in the real estate markets and general economic conditions, and adverse changes in those conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and MFFO. Accordingly, the predictive nature of MFFO is uncertain and past performance may not be indicative of future results.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), NAREIT nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO attributable to common stockholders and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the period from inception (December 10, 2008) through March 31, 2017. As we have recently completed the acquisition phase of our life cycle, FFO and MFFO are not useful in comparing operations for the two periods presented below.

Notes to the table:

(1)

Represents the depreciation and amortization of various real estate assets. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that such depreciation and amortization may be of limited relevance in evaluating current operating performance and, as such, these items are excluded from our determination of FFO.


(2)	Represents the gain on disposition of certain real estate investments. Although this gain is included in the calculation of net income (loss), we have excluded it from FFO because we believe doing so appropriately presents the operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.


(3)	Includes income attributable to noncontrolling interests and all adjustments to eliminate the noncontrolling interests’ share of the adjustments to convert our net loss to FFO and MFFO.


(4)	Represents components of net loss related to the estimated changes in the values of our interest rate contract derivatives and foreign currency forwards. We have excluded these changes in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.


(5)	Represents components of net loss primarily resulting from the remeasurement of loans denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies. We have excluded these changes in value from our evaluation of our operating performance and MFFO because such adjustments may not be reflective of our ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on our operating performance.


(6)	Includes the following components of revenues and expenses that we do not consider in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,					Period from Inception (December 10, 2008) through March 31, 2017

Other	6		(36		)	2,683
	$	18,529	$	(4,376	)	$	(33,133	)

(a)

Represents the adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize minimum lease payments on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We have excluded these adjustments from our evaluation of our operating performance and in determining MFFO because we believe that the rent that is billable during the current period is a more relevant measure of our operating performance for such period.


(b)	Represents the amortization of lease incentives and out-of-market leases.


(7)	Represents acquisition expenses and acquisition fees paid to our Advisor that were expensed in our condensed consolidated statements of operations because the acquisitions were completed prior to our adoption of ASU 2017-01. We funded such costs with proceeds from our offering, and therefore do not consider these expenses in evaluating our operating performance and determining MFFO.

As noted previously, our cash flows from operations have been and may continue to be insufficient to fully fund distributions paid. Therefore, some or all of our distributions may continue to be paid from other sources, such as cash advances by the Advisor, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees, proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowings and/or proceeds from the DRP Offering. We have not placed a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources.

From inception through March 31, 2017, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $827.6 million, compared to total aggregate FFO of $610.3 million and cash flows from operating activities of $529.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $44.6 million, compared to total aggregate FFO of $48.5 million. For the

Table of Contents

three months ended March 31, 2017, we declared distributions to our stockholders totaling $44.5 million, compared to total aggregate FFO of $50.4 million. During our offering and investment stages, we incurred acquisition fees and expenses in connection with our real estate investments, which were recorded as reductions to net income (loss) and FFO. These fees and expenses totaled $223.1 million from inception through March 31, 2017.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with the Advisor, Dealer Manager and Hines or its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities during the various phases of our organization and operation. During the organization and offering stage, these include payments to our Dealer Manager for selling commissions and the dealer manager fee and payments to our Advisor for reimbursement of issuer costs. During the acquisition and operational stages, these include payments for certain services related to acquisitions, financing and management of our investments and operations provided to us by our Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into or anticipate entering into with these entities.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe that interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and real estate valuation risk are the primary market risks to which we are exposed.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. One of our interest rate risk management objectives is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. To achieve this objective, we may borrow at fixed rates or fix the variable rates of interest on variable interest rate borrowings through the use of interest rate swaps and caps. We have and may continue to enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to these contracts in the event of non-performance under the terms of the derivative contracts. In the event of non-performance by the counterparty, if we were not able to replace these contracts, we would be subject to the variability of interest rates on the total amount of debt outstanding under the mortgage.

At March 31, 2017, we had fixed-rate debt of $317.6 million and variable-rate debt of $1.8 billion. If interest rates were to increase by 1% and all other variables were held constant, we would incur $18.0 million in additional annual interest expense associated with our variable-rate debt. Additionally, we hedged approximately $407.3 million of our variable-rate debt using interest rate caps, which limit our exposure to rising interest rates. As of March 31, 2017, the variable interest rates did not exceed their capped interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently have real estate investments located in countries outside of the U.S. that are subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of each real estate investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Generally, we have entered into mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies for these investments, which provide natural hedges with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. The table below identifies the effect that a 10% immediate, unfavorable change in the exchange rates would have on our equity in these international real estate investments and their net income for the most recently completed period, by foreign currency (in thousands)⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾:



	Reduction in Book Value as of March 31, 2017	Reduction in Net Income (Loss) for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
AUD	$9,902	$177
EUR	$10,900	$578
GBP	$19,001	$5,321
RUB	$6,822	$121

(1)

Our real estate assets in Moscow, Russia were purchased in U.S. dollars and we expect that when we dispose of these assets, the sale transactions will also be denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we do not expect to have economic exposure to the Ruble upon disposition. However, changes in the exchange rate between the Ruble and the U.S. dollar could result in realized losses recorded in our consolidated statement of operations at the time of sale.


(2)	Our real estate assets in Warsaw, Wroclaw and Upper Silesia, Poland were purchased in Euros and we expect that when we dispose of these assets, the sale transactions will also be denominated in Euros. Accordingly, we do not expect to have Polish zloty exposure upon disposition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the performance of our year end procedures on the consolidated financial statements to be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”), we identified a material weakness in certain internal controls over financial reporting pertaining to convertible preferred equity certificates (“CPECs”) of the Brindleyplace JV, a joint venture formed in 2010 to purchase a mixed-use property located in England (the “Property”). The Company owned 60% of the Brindleyplace JV and consolidated the joint venture for financial reporting purposes. Approximately 99% of the partners’ capital of the Brindleyplace JV was issued in the form of CPECs. The Brindleyplace JV sold the Property in February 2017 at a substantial gain and, as required by the joint venture agreement, redeemed the CPECs and distributed the remaining proceeds to the partners.

During the preparation of our Annual Report, we identified incorrect allocations of net income between our stockholders and the joint venture partner and incorrect classifications of certain redemptions as distributions pertaining to the CPECs of the Brindleyplace JV. These amounts primarily related to the sale of the Property and the redemption of the CPECs. As a result, we determined that we should amend and restate our previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 to make the corrections described above. We concluded that since these items were not identified timely, they represent a material weakness in certain internal controls over financial reporting related to the CPECs of the Brindleyplace JV.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We believe this material weakness resulted from a deficiency in the design of our internal controls regarding the CPECs. Specifically, control activities were not designed to ensure that the income and distributions related to the CPEC structure, which were unique to our organizational structure, were properly reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a timely basis.

In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and after considering the material weakness described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As described above, we identified the need to amend and restate certain financial information related to the CPECs during the preparation of our Annual Report. Therefore, although our internal controls over financial reporting were effectively designed to identify material misstatements prior to the issuance of the Annual Report, they were not effectively designed to identify these incorrect allocations and classifications on a timely basis. However, since these items were identified prior to the issuance of our Annual Report and the CPECs were redeemed during 2017 and do not exist elsewhere in our organizational structure, the material weakness will no longer be relevant when we issue our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Change in Internal Controls

No change occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes. As of May 15, 2017, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. With the exception of the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The United Kingdom’s determination to exit the European Union could adversely affect market rental rates and commercial real estate values in the United Kingdom and Europe.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a non-binding referendum in which a majority of voters voted in favor of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, or “Brexit.” On March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom gave formal notice of its exit from the European Union and commenced the two-year period of negotiations to determine the terms of the United Kingdom’s relationship with the European Union after the exit, including, among other things, the terms of trade between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The effects of the exit will depend on any agreements the United Kingdom makes to retain access to European Union markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. The announcement of the Brexit vote caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we conduct business. In addition, the uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote and the notice of departure may:


•	adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions;


•	adversely affect commercial property market rental rates in the United Kingdom and continental Europe;


•	adversely affect commercial property market values in the United Kingdom and continental Europe;


•	adversely affect the availability of financing for commercial properties in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, which could reduce the price for which we are able to sell properties we have acquired in such geographic locations; and


•	create further instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the sterling and euro.

Each of these effects may occur before the United Kingdom departs from the European Union because the capital and credit markets are subject to volatility and disruption caused by the uncertainty introduced by the Brexit vote and the notice of departure. As of March 31, 2017, 9.6% of our real estate investment portfolio was located in London, England. A decline in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our portfolio, which could, among other things, adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we did not sell or issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We may redeem shares on a monthly basis if the shares were held for at least one year and meet certain other conditions. Any such redemptions will be limited to the amount required to redeem 5% of the shares outstanding as of the same date in the prior calendar year, and unless our board of directors determines otherwise, redemptions will be further limited to the amount of proceeds received from our distribution reinvestment plan in the month prior to the month in which the redemption request was received. Per the terms of our share redemption program, we may waive the one-year holding requirement and limitations described above for share redemption requests made in connection with the death or disability of a stockholder.
