Item 8.01 Other Items

June 2018 Distributions

The board of directors (the “Board”) of Hines Global REIT, Inc. has authorized the Company to declare distributions for the month of June 2018. These distributions will be calculated based on stockholders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2018 in an amount equal to $0.0541667 per month. All distributions will be paid in cash or reinvested in stock for those participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan on July 2, 2018. Of the amount described above, $0.02 of the per share, per month distribution will be designated by the Company as a return of a portion of the stockholders’ invested capital and, as such, will reduce the stockholders’ remaining investment in the Company. The designation of a portion of the distribution as a return of invested capital will not impact the tax treatment of the distributions to the Company’s stockholders.


Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to the timing and payment of distributions, are 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. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
