Based on the shares issued in the offering as of April 7, 2020, aggregate trailing dealer manager fees of $1,537 per month are payable to the dealer manager as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Offering Supplement.  As of April 7, 2020, the Company has paid an aggregate of $229 in trailing dealer manager fees.

Risk Factors

The following disclosure is added immediately below the first paragraph in the “Risk Factors” section of the Offering Supplement:

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is expected to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The spread of COVID-19 in the United States and the resulting increase of restrictions on and cancellations of travel, meetings and social gatherings are expected to adversely impact the operations of our hotel in Sacramento, California. For the fourth quarter of 2019, the net operating income of our hotel constituted approximately 22% of our total segment net operating income. Based on current expectations, it is likely that the net operating income of our hotel will be negative for the second quarter and possibly the third quarter of 2020 and, as a result, contributions by the hotel to our funds from operations during such period are expected to be significantly impacted.  Additionally, the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 will adversely affect the operations of our office portfolio to the extent of, among other things: (i) the inability of our tenants to pay rents, (ii) the deferral of rent payments by our tenants, (iii) an increase in early lease terminations or decrease in renewals and (iv) our inability to re-lease vacant space in our office portfolio due to “shelter in place” or similar orders or a decrease in demand.  At this time, however, as the situation is evolving rapidly, we cannot predict the significance, extent or duration of any adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Outstanding Capital Stock

As of April 7, 2020, there were issued and outstanding 14,602,149 shares of Common Stock, 4,867,224 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 4,603,287 warrants to purchase 1,194,159 shares of Common Stock (as described in “Description of Warrants—Series A Warrants” in the Base Prospectus), 6,580 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 5,387,160 shares of Series L Preferred Stock.
