Item 8.01 Other Events.
Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. (referred to herein as the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to disclose the most recent transaction price and net asset value ("NAV") per share, as determined in accordance with the Company’s valuation procedures, for each of its classes of common stock.
August 1, 2018 Transaction Price
The transaction price for each share class of our common stock for subscriptions to be accepted as of August 1, 2018 (and distribution reinvestment plan issuances following the close of business on July 31, 2018 and share redemptions as of July 31, 2018) is as follows:
Share Class | Transaction Price (per share) | |||
Class T | $ | 10.0086 | ||
Class W | $ | 10.0086 | ||
Class I | $ | 10.0086 | ||
The transaction price for each of our share classes is equal to such class’s NAV per share as of June 30, 2018. A calculation of the NAV per share is set forth below. The purchase price of our common stock for each share class equals the transaction price of such class, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
June 30, 2018 NAV Per Share
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. Our most recent NAV per share for each share class, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.blackcreekindustrialiv.com and is also available on our toll-free, automated telephone line at (888) 310-9352. Please see our valuation procedures, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding real property valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Firm”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including the Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Generally, all of our real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation procedures and such appraisals are reviewed by our Independent Valuation Firm.
As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with the partnership units in our operating partnership (“OP Units”) held by third parties (if any), and “Aggregate Fund NAV” means the NAV of all of the Fund Interests.
The following table sets forth the components of total NAV as of June 30, 2018 and May 31, 2018:
(in thousands) | As of June 30, 2018 | As of May 31, 2018 | ||||||
Real estate properties | $ | 150,850 | $ | 49,700 | ||||
Cash and other assets, net of other liabilities | 2,624 | 12,053 | ||||||

Aggregate Fund NAV | $ | 74,974 | $ | 61,753 | ||||

The valuation for our real properties as of June 30, 2018 was provided by the Independent Valuation Firm in accordance with our valuation procedures and determined starting with the acquisition price of our real properties, which was adjusted based on subsequent events and assumptions used by the Independent Valuation Firm. Certain key assumptions that were used by our Independent Valuation Firm in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:
Weighted-Average Rates | |||
Exit capitalization rate | 5.30 | % | |
Discount rate/internal rate of return | 6.20 | % | |
In addition, the Independent Valuation Firm assumed a weighted-average holding period for our real properties of 11.2 years.
A change in the rates used would impact the calculation of the value of our real properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on the value of our real properties:
Input | Hypothetical Change | Increase (Decrease) to the NAV | |||
Exit capitalization rate (weighted-average) | 0.25% decrease | 3.21 | % | ||
0.25% increase | (2.92 | )% | |||
Discount rate (weighted-average) | 0.25% decrease | 2.20 | % | ||
0.25% increase | (2.14 | )% | |||
The valuation of our debt obligations as of June 30, 2018 was in accordance with fair value standards under GAAP. The key assumption used in the discounted cash flow analysis was the market interest rate. Market interest rates relating to the underlying debt obligations are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which we have determined to be our best estimate of current market interest rates of similar instruments. The weighted-average market interest rate used in the June 30, 2018 valuation was 3.69%.
A change in the market interest rates used would impact the calculation of the fair value of our debt obligations. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, a decrease in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would not have an impact on the fair value of our debt obligations. Alternatively, assuming all other factors remain constant, an increase in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would decrease the fair value of our debt obligations by approximately 0.54%.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities
3
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements include forward-looking assumptions and methodologies used to determine our NAV per share. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “continue,” or the negative of these words, or other similar words or terms. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Among the factors that may cause our results to vary are general economic and business (particularly real estate and capital market) conditions being less favorable than expected, the business opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us, changes in laws or regulations (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)), risk of acquisitions, availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, availability of capital (debt and equity), interest rate fluctuations, competition, supply and demand for properties in our current and any proposed market areas, tenants’ ability to pay rent at current or increased levels, accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs, environmental, regulatory and/or safety requirements, tenant bankruptcies and defaults, the availability and cost of comprehensive insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For a further discussion of these factors and other risk factors that could lead to actual results materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.
