Item 1.01.           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”), through four special purpose entities (the “Original Borrowers”), entered into an approximately $31.5 million financing with TCF National Bank (“TCF”) as lender pursuant to a term loan (the “Loan”). On September 2, 2020, the Company, the Original Borrowers and TCF amended the Loan by adding an additional borrower to the Loan and an additional property as collateral securing the Loan in exchange for an increase to the Loan commitment (the “Loan Amendment”).

Please see Item 2.03 below for a description of the Loan Amendment. The information set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

As described in Item 1.01, above, on September 2, 2020, the Company, the Original Borrowers and TCF entered into the Loan Amendment, whereby a special purpose entity of the Company owning an unencumbered property joined in and assumed the Loan as a co-borrower and pledged its property as additional collateral for the Loan. Accordingly, the Company received an increase of approximately $9.2 million to the Loan commitment, which was immediately drawn by the Company (the “Additional Proceeds”), for an aggregate commitment of approximately $40.8 million and a total outstanding Loan balance of approximately $40.2 million. The Company remains a limited recourse guarantor with respect to the Loan during the initial term. Other than as described in the foregoing, none of the other material terms of the Loan were changed by the Loan Amendment. The Company intends to use the Additional Proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on its revolving loan with KeyBank, National Association.
