The stockholders of POSOR II approved the Merger (as defined below) contemplated by the Merger Agreement at POSOR II’s special meeting of stockholders held on October 1, 2020.
On October 5, 2020, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, POSOR II merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

The combined company after the Merger retains the name “Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.” The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
