Reinstatement of Distribution Reinvestment Plan; Partial Reinstatement of Share Redemption Program
As previously disclosed, on March 7, 2022, in connection with its process for reviewing alternatives in order to provide liquidity to its stockholders, the board of directors (the “Board”) of SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the full suspension of: (i) the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”); and (ii) the operation of the Company’s share redemption program (“SRP”). Accordingly, the Company paid all subsequent distributions in cash.
On March 16, 2023, the Board determined that, while it continues to review alternatives for stockholder liquidity, it would be in the best interests of the Company to reinstate the DRP (the “DRP Reinstatement”). Accordingly, distributions for the month of March (which are paid in April) will be invested in shares of the Company’s common stock for those stockholders that previously elected into the DRP in such states where the DRP is able to be offered. In this regard, the Board approved $15.21 as the per share DRP price, which is the most recently published estimated net asset value per share (the “NAV”). The Board also determined to partially reinstate the SRP, solely for redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as that term is defined in the SRP), confinement to a long-term care facility or other exigent circumstances (the “Partial SRP Reinstatement”). All other redemptions shall remain suspended at this time. In connection with the Partial SRP Reinstatement, the Company intends to honor redemption requests previously made (and not subsequently revoked) while the SRP was fully suspended so long as such requests are (i) subsequently reconfirmed by its transfer agent and (ii) meet the foregoing eligibility criteria. Under the terms of the SRP, the redemption price per share shall be the NAV.
In the future, the Company may undertake to provide additional options for liquidity to its stockholders, including through a listing of its shares on a national securities exchange. The Company may also raise additional equity through the issuance of stock. If the Company undertakes any of the foregoing activities, there can be no assurances that the share price at such time will be greater than or equal to the NAV.
Rejection of Mini-Tender Offer
SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) sent a letter to its stockholders on March 17, 2023 recommending that they reject an unsolicited mini-tender offer received from a third party. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
