Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 27, 2018, Pillarstone Capital REIT (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Whitestone Industrial-Office, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, sold a portfolio of three properties in Houston, Texas consisting of Main Park located at 11205 S. Main Street, Dairy Ashford Business Park located at 12654-12674 Goar Road, and Westbelt Plaza located at 1450 W. Sam Houston Parkway North (collectively, the "Portfolio") to HMC Fuller Main Park, LLC, HMC Filler Dairy Ashford, LLC and HMC Fuller Westbelt, LLC, respectively, (collectively, the "Buyer") for $15.8 million in the aggregate (the "Disposition"). The Buyer is an unaffiliated third party. The Company does not have a material relationship with the Buyer, and the Disposition was not an affiliated transaction.

Net proceeds, after customary closing deductions, were used to pay off mortgage debt on the Portfolio, and after the Disposition, the Company repaid $8.0 million of the Company’s $14.5 million loan from Whitestone REIT Operating Partnership, a company affiliated with certain members of Company's management team and Board of Trustees.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
Set forth in this Item 9.01(b) are the following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements illustrating the estimated effect of the Disposition described in Item 2.01 above as if the Disposition had previously occurred on the dates specified below:


The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 has been prepared as if the Disposition had occurred as of that date.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 have been prepared as if the Disposition occurred as of January 1, 2017.
