Item 2.01.Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As reported earlier, on April 18, 2018, a subsidiary of Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement with unaffiliated third parties for the acquisition of a portfolio of seven self storage facilities located in the State of Texas (the “Houston Portfolio”). On October 10, 2018, the Registrant closed on the purchase of six of the seven self storage facilities in the Houston Portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $51.5 million, plus closing and acquisition costs, which was funded with a combination of proceeds from the Registrant’s public offering, an assumption of an existing loan with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $2.3 million, which is secured by a deed of trust on the Katy property listed in the table below, and a drawdown of $40 million under the Registrant’s existing credit facility with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), which is described in Item 2.03 below (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”). These six self storage facilities consist of approximately 3,600 storage units, which includes RV spaces, and approximately 483,000 net rentable square feet of storage space.

A summary of the six self storage facilities acquired in the Houston Portfolio is as follows:

As reported earlier, we expect to close on the seventh property in the Houston Portfolio (located at 8415 Queenston Blvd, Houston, Texas 77095) in the fourth quarter of 2018. Whether we close on the seventh property is subject to satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions and other matters, such as the assumption or defeasance of an existing loan encumbering the property.

Item 2.03.Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, under the terms of a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank, we, through various special purpose entities (the “Borrower”), previously borrowed $17 million. We had the ability to borrow up to a maximum of $70 million under the KeyBank Credit Facility, subject to certain financial covenants and requirements with respect to both the Borrower and the “Pool” of “Mortgaged Properties” (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement). In connection with the closing described in Item 2.01, above, we added the five unencumbered properties from the Houston Portfolio, as well as our property located in Naples, Florida that we acquired on August 1, 2018, to the Pool of Mortgaged Properties, which allowed us to draw an additional $40 million under the KeyBank Credit Facility.

Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Registrant issued a press release announcing the acquisition of six self storage facilities in the Houston Portfolio. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 7.01 disclosure.

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the information in this Item 7.01 disclosure, including Exhibit 99.1 and information set forth therein, is deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 9.01.Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Since it is impracticable to provide the required financial statements for the acquired real property described in Item 2.01 at the time of this filing and no financials (audited or unaudited) are available at this time, the Registrant hereby confirms that it intends to file the required financial statements on or before December 26, 2018 by amendment to this Form 8-K.

See paragraph (a) above.
