NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation, incorporated on July 27, 2010, that elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the partnership interests in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership.

On November 13, 2017, VEREIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“VEREIT OP”), a former affiliated entity of the Company’s sponsor, CCO Group (as defined below), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with CCA Acquisition, LLC (“CCA”), a newly-formed affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM”), pursuant to which CCA agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Cole Capital Advisors, Inc., the direct or indirect owner of Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (“CR IV Advisors”), Cole Capital Corporation and CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), the Company’s external advisor, dealer manager and property manager, respectively (the “Transaction”).

On February 1, 2018, the Transaction was completed. Immediately following the completion of the Transaction, Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. and the Company’s dealer manager were each converted into Delaware limited liability companies, Cole Capital Advisors, Inc.’s name was changed to CCO Group, LLC, and the dealer manager’s name was changed to CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”). As a result of the Transaction, CIM owns and/or controls CCO Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CCO Group”), and CCO Group, LLC owns and controls CR IV Advisors, CCO Capital and CREI Advisors, the Company’s external advisor, dealer manager for the Offerings (as defined below) and property manager, respectively.

In addition, as part of the Transaction, VEREIT OP and CCO Group, LLC entered into a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which VEREIT OP will continue to provide certain services to CCO Group and to the Company, Cole Credit Property Trust V, Inc. (“CCPT V”), Cole Office & Industrial REIT (CCIT II), Inc. (“CCIT II”), Cole Office & Industrial (CCIT III), Inc. (“CCIT III”) and Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (“Cole Income NAV Strategy”) (CCPT V, CCIT II, CCIT III, Cole Income NAV Strategy and the Company, collectively, the “Cole REITs^®”), including operational real estate support. VEREIT OP will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) (the “Initial Services Term”) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by CCO Group, LLC.

Despite the indirect change of ownership and control of the Company’s advisor, dealer manager, property manager and sponsor, the Company expects that, during the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, the advisory, dealer manager and property management services the Company receives will continue without any material changes in personnel (except as supplemented by the management oversight of CIM personnel) or material change in service procedures. CCO Group, LLC is evaluating and intends to effectuate during the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement an appropriate transition of VEREIT OP’s services under the Services Agreement to other CIM affiliates or third parties with the goal of ensuring continuity and minimizing disruption.

On January 26, 2012, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-169533) (the “Registration Statement”) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of up to a maximum of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”). On November 25, 2013, the Company reallocated $400.0 million in shares from the distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) portion of the Offering to the primary portion of the Offering, and on February 18, 2014, the Company reallocated an additional $23.0 million in shares from the DRIP portion of the Offering to the primary portion of the Offering. As a result of these reallocations, the Offering offered up to a maximum of approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share in the primary portion of the Offering and up to approximately 5.5 million additional shares pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering under which the Company’s stockholders could have elected to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share.

The Company ceased issuing shares in the Offering on April 4, 2014. At the completion of the Offering, a total of approximately 297.4 million shares of common stock had been issued, including approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering and approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock issued pursuant to the DRIP portion of the Offering. The remaining approximately 404,000 unsold shares from the Offering were deregistered.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In

the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Consolidated Joint Venture in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations.

For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a VIE.

A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates any VIEs when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it using the equity method could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate any VIEs based on standards set forth in GAAP as described above.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company determined that it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and therefore met the GAAP requirements for consolidation.

Reclassifications

In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”) and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-15, the Company reclassified $41,000 of proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Under ASU 2016-18, transfers to or from restricted cash, which have previously been shown in the Company’s investing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, are now required to be shown as part of the total change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This change resulted in a decrease in cash flows from investing activities of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company adopted ASU 2017-12, as defined in “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated distributions in excess of earnings of $488,000.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:



Buildings	40 years
Site improvements	15 years
Tenant improvements	Lesser of useful life or lease term
Intangible lease assets	Lease term

Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017. The Company is in the process of determining if anticipated holding periods for certain properties may materially differ from the initial intended holding periods for such properties, which could result in an impairment charge in the future.

Assets Held for Sale

When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their respective fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.

The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

In April 2017, the Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Beginning in April 2017, all real estate acquisitions qualified as asset acquisitions, and as such, acquisition-related fees and certain acquisition-related expenses related to these asset acquisitions were capitalized and allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as described above. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in April 2017, all of the Company’s real estate acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and, as such, acquisition-related expenses related to these business combination acquisitions were expensed as incurred. Prior to April 2017, acquisition-related expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations primarily consisted of legal, deed transfer and other costs related to real estate purchase transactions, including costs incurred for deals that were not consummated. The Company expects its future acquisitions to qualify as asset acquisitions and, as such, the Company will allocate the purchase price to acquired tangible assets and identified intangible assets and liabilities on a relative fair value basis.

Investment in Held-to-Maturity Securities

The Company has investments classified as held-to-maturity securities, which consist of revenue bonds acquired in connection with the purchase of an anchored shopping center. The bonds have a 9.0% interest rate and mature on November 1, 2044. As of June 30, 2018, the Company classified these investments as held-to-maturity as the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These investments are initially recognized in derivative assets, prepaid expenses, revenue bonds and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are subsequently measured using amortized cost.

The Company’s investments in revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in events or circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment structure. The Company will record an impairment charge if it is determined that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment will be held to maturity. The analysis of determining whether the impairment of a security is deemed to be other-than-temporary requires significant judgments and assumptions. The use of alternative judgments and assumptions could result in a different conclusion.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture

On June 27, 2014, the Company completed the formation of the Consolidated Joint Venture. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the joint venture partner has a right to exercise an option (the “Option”), which became effective on June 27, 2016, whereby the Company will be required to purchase the ownership interest of the joint venture partner at fair market value. As of June 30, 2018, the Option has not been exercised. The Company determined it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and, therefore, met the GAAP requirements for consolidation. The Company recorded net income of $67,000 and paid distributions of $134,000 related to the noncontrolling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company recorded the noncontrolling interest of $2.3 million and $2.4 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, due to the ability to exercise the Option being outside the control of the Company.

Restricted Cash

The Company had $9.9 million and $9.1 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $3.4 million and $3.7 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $6.5 million and $5.4 million held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Certain properties have leases where the minimum rental payment increases during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis when earned and collectability is reasonably assured. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. The Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Expected reimbursements from tenants for

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in tenant reimbursement income in the period when such costs are incurred. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 and requires an entity to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company records revenue for real estate taxes and insurance reimbursed by its tenants on the leased properties, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as the Company has concluded it is the primary obligor. The Company has identified its revenue streams as rental income from leasing arrangements and tenant reimbursement income, which are outside of the scope of Topic 606. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach and determined it does not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants, and determines their collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of a receivable is uncertain, the Company will record an increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $720,000 and $1.5 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in this update require that most lease obligations be recognized as a right of use asset with a corresponding liability on the balance sheet. The guidance also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 and subsequent amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance, including optional practical expedients, should be implemented for the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the inventory of its leases that will be impacted by adoption of the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the accounting treatment of the Company’s net leases, which are the primary source of the Company’s revenues.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). The targeted amendments in this ASU are designed to help simplify certain aspects of hedge accounting and result in a more accurate portrayal of the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 applies to the Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. Upon adoption of ASU 2017-12, all changes in the fair value of highly effective cash flow hedges will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income rather than recognized directly in earnings. Under current GAAP, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of cash flow hedges is recognized directly in earnings. This eliminates the requirement to separately measure and disclose ineffectiveness for qualifying cash flow hedges. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2017-12 is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated distributions in excess of earnings of $488,000.

NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

Notes payable and credit facility — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of June 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $2.44 billion, compared to a carrying value of $2.46 billion. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2017 was $2.48 billion, compared to a carrying value of $2.49 billion.

Derivative instruments — The Company’s derivative instruments are comprised of interest rate swaps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Contingent consideration arrangements — The contingent consideration arrangements are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of additional consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of properties subject to contingent consideration arrangements is determined based on key assumptions, including, but not limited to, rental rates, discount rates and the estimated timing and probability of successfully leasing vacant space subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of certain properties.

Revenue bonds — The fair value estimates of the Company’s revenue bonds are based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, including the period to maturity, and uses unobservable market-based inputs, including discount rates ranging from 7.75% to 9.0%. As a result, the Company has determined that its revenue bonds are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Company’s revenue bonds was $2.1 million.

Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities.

(1)	The interest rate consists of the underlying index swapped to a fixed rate and the applicable interest rate spread as of June 30, 2018.

Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. The notional amount under the interest rate swap agreements is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges in order to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income, with a portion of the amount subsequently reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the amounts reclassified were a gain of $1.5 million and a loss of $951,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the amounts reclassified were a gain of $2.0 million and a loss of $2.4 million, respectively. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $5.5 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, resulting in an acceleration of payment. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value, inclusive of interest payments and accrued interest. As of June 30, 2018, all derivatives were in an asset position. Therefore, there was no termination value as of June 30, 2018. In addition, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The Company records credit risk valuation adjustments on its interest rate swaps based on the credit quality of the Company and the respective counterparty. There were no termination events or events of default related to the interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2018.

NOTE 7 — NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT FACILITY

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $2.4 billion of debt outstanding, including net deferred financing costs, with weighted average years to maturity of 3.8 years and a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%. The weighted average years to maturity is computed using the scheduled repayment date as specified in each loan agreement where applicable. The weighted average interest rate is computed using the interest rate in effect until the scheduled repayment date. Should a loan not be repaid by its scheduled repayment date, the applicable interest rate will increase as specified in the respective loan agreement. The following table summarizes the debt balances as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the debt activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2018, the fixed rate debt outstanding of $1.2 billion included $193.4 million of variable rate debt that is fixed through interest rate swap agreements, which has the effect of fixing the variable interest rates per annum through the maturity date of the variable rate debt. The fixed rate debt has interest rates ranging from 2.6% to 5.0% per annum. The fixed rate debt outstanding matures on various dates from September 1, 2019 through October 1, 2025. The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the fixed rate debt outstanding was $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2018. Each of the mortgage notes payable, comprising the fixed rate debt, is secured by the respective properties on which the debt was placed. As of June 30, 2018, the variable rate debt outstanding of $20.5 million had a weighted average interest rate of 5.2%. The variable rate debt outstanding matures on February 26, 2020. The aggregate balance of gross real estate assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, securing the variable rate debt outstanding was $40.8 million as of June 30, 2018.

The Company has a second amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (“JPMorgan Chase”), and the other lenders party thereto that provides for borrowings of up to $1.40 billion, which includes a $1.05 billion unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and up to $350.0 million in unsecured revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans” and, collectively with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Loan matures on March 15, 2022 and the Revolving Loans mature on March 15, 2021; however, the Company has the right to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Loans to March 15, 2022.

Depending upon the type of loan specified and overall leverage ratio, the Credit Facility bears interest at (i) the one-month, two-month, three-month or six-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) multiplied by the statutory reserve rate (the “Eurodollar Rate”) plus an interest rate spread ranging from 1.65% to 2.25% or (ii) a base rate, ranging from 0.65% to 1.25%, plus the greater of: (a) JPMorgan Chase’s Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%; or (c) the one-month LIBOR multiplied by the statutory reserve rate plus 1.00%. As of June 30, 2018, the Revolving Loans outstanding totaled $199.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.9%. As of June 30, 2018, the Term Loan outstanding totaled $1.05 billion, $811.7 million of which is subject to interest rate swap agreements (the “Swapped Term Loan”). The interest rate swap agreements had the effect of fixing the Eurodollar Rate per annum of the Swapped Term Loan. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average all-in rate for the Swapped Term Loan was 3.2%. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $1.25 billion outstanding under the Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 3.4% and $149.2 million in unused capacity, subject to borrowing availability.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains provisions with respect to covenants, events of default and remedies customary for facilities of this nature. In particular, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth greater than or equal to the sum of (i) $2.0 billion plus (ii) 75% of the equity issued minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any redemptions or similar transaction from the date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a leverage ratio less than or equal to 60%, a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.50, an unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value ratio equal to or less than 60%, an unsecured debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.75, a secured debt ratio equal to or less than 40% and the amount of secured debt that is recourse debt at no greater than 15% of total asset value. The Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Second Amended

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation and claims. The Company is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business, to which the Company is a party or of which the Company’s properties are the subject.

Environmental Matters

In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. In addition, the Company may own or acquire certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. Generally, the seller of the property, the tenant of the property and/or another third party is responsible for environmental remediation costs related to a property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants may agree to indemnify the Company against future remediation costs. The Company also carries environmental liability insurance on its properties that provides limited coverage for any remediation liability and/or pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and/or property damage claims for which the Company may be liable. The Company is not aware of any environmental matters which it believes are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 11 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has incurred fees and expenses payable to CR IV Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.

Acquisition fees and expenses

The Company pays CR IV Advisors or its affiliates acquisition fees of up to 2.0% of: (1) the contract purchase price of each property or asset the Company acquires; (2) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset the Company acquires; (3) the purchase price of any loan the Company acquires; and (4) the principal amount of any loan the Company originates. In addition, the Company reimburses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for acquisition-related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Company’s independent directors, as commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

Advisory fees and expenses

The Company pays CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average invested assets, which, effective January 1, 2018, is based on the estimated market value of such assets used to determine the Company’s estimated per share NAV as of December 31, 2017, as discussed in Note 1 — Organization and Business, and for those assets acquired subsequent to December 31, 2017, is based on the purchase price. The monthly advisory fee is equal to the following amounts: (1) an annualized rate of 0.75% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $0 and $2.0 billion;

Table of Contents

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2018 (Unaudited) – (Continued)

(2) an annualized rate of 0.70% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are between $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion; and (3) an annualized rate of 0.65% paid on the Company’s average invested assets that are over $4.0 billion.

Operating expenses

The Company reimburses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for certain expenses CR IV Advisors or its affiliates paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for any amount by which the operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of: (1) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (2) 25.0% of net income excluding any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. The Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for the salaries and benefits paid to personnel in connection with the services for which CR IV Advisors receives acquisition fees, and the Company will not reimburse CR IV Advisors for salaries and benefits paid to the Company’s executive officers.

Disposition fees

If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more properties (or the Company’s entire portfolio), the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliates a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the real estate or brokerage commission paid by the Company to third parties on the sale of such property, not to exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the total disposition fees paid to CR IV Advisors, its affiliates and unaffiliated third parties exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6.0% of the contract sales price. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, no disposition fees were incurred for any such services provided by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates.

Subordinated performance fees

If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after stockholders have received, from regular distributions plus special distributions paid from proceeds of such sale, a return of their net capital invested and an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus all distributions paid by the Company prior to listing, exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from stockholders and the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to stockholders. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to the fee to which CR IV Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, no subordinated performance fees were incurred related to any such events.

The Company recorded fees and expense reimbursements as shown in the table below for services provided by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates related to the services described above during the periods indicated (in thousands):

NOTE 12 — ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged and may in the future engage CR IV Advisors or its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and stockholder relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon CR IV Advisors or its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with these services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Services Agreement

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, VEREIT OP will continue to provide certain services to CCO Group and to the Company, including operational real estate support. VEREIT OP will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by CCO Group, LLC.

Despite the indirect change of ownership and control of the Company’s advisor, dealer manager, property manager and sponsor, the Company expects that, during the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, the advisory, dealer manager and property management services the Company receives will continue without any material changes in personnel (except as supplemented by the management oversight of CIM personnel) or material change in service procedures. During the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, CCO Group, LLC intends to evaluate and effectuate an appropriate transition of VEREIT OP’s services under the Services Agreement to other CIM affiliates or third parties with the goal of ensuring continuity and minimizing disruption.

NOTE 13 — OPERATING LEASES

The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2018, the leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 9.3 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants.

As of June 30, 2018, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s real estate assets under non-cancelable operating leases, assuming no exercise of renewal options for the succeeding five fiscal years and thereafter, was as follows (in thousands):

Definitions

We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:

The phrase “annualized rental income” refers to the straight-line rental revenue under our leases on operating properties owned as of the respective reporting date, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any bad debt allowances and any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.

Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. The tenant generally agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as either triple-net or double-net. Triple-net leases typically require the tenant to pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, including roof, structure and parking lot). Double-net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance).

Overview

We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We commenced our principal operations on April 13, 2012, when we satisfied the conditions of our escrow agreement regarding the minimum offering and issued approximately 308,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CR IV Advisors. On February 1, 2018, the Transaction, as discussed in Note 1 — Organization and Business to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, was completed. As a result of the Transaction, CIM indirectly owns and/or controls CR IV Advisors; our dealer manager, CCO Capital; our property manager, CREI Advisors; and CCO Group.

As part of the Transaction, pursuant to the Services Agreement, VEREIT OP will continue to provide certain services to CCO Group and to us, including operational real estate support. VEREIT OP will continue to provide such services through March 31, 2019 (or, if later, the date of the last government filing other than a tax filing made by any of the Cole REITs with respect to its 2018 fiscal year) and will provide consulting and research services through December 31, 2023 as requested by CCO Group, LLC.

Despite the indirect change of ownership and control of our advisor, dealer manager, property manager and sponsor, we expect that, during the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, the advisory, dealer manager and property management services we receive will continue without any material changes in personnel (except as supplemented by the management oversight of CIM personnel) or material change in service procedures. During the Initial Services Term of the Services Agreement, CCO Group, LLC intends to evaluate and effectuate an appropriate transition of VEREIT OP’s services under the Services Agreement to other CIM affiliates or third parties with the goal of ensuring continuity and minimizing disruption.

We ceased issuing shares in our Offering on April 4, 2014 and in the Initial DRIP Offering effective as of June 30, 2016, but will continue to issue shares of common stock under the Secondary DRIP Offering until certain liquidity events occur, such as the listing of our shares on a national securities exchange or the sale of our company, or the Secondary DRIP Offering is otherwise terminated by the Board. We expect that property acquisitions in 2018 and future periods will be funded by proceeds from financing of the acquired properties, cash flows from operations and the strategic sale of properties and other asset acquisitions.

On September 27, 2015, the Board established an estimated value of our common stock, as of August 31, 2015, of $9.70 per share for purposes of assisting broker-dealers that participated in the Offering in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations under National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340. On November 10, 2016, the Board established an updated estimated per share NAV of our common stock, as of September 30, 2016, of $9.92 per share. On March 24, 2017, the Board established an updated estimated per share NAV of our common stock, as of December 31, 2016, of $10.08 per share. On March 29, 2018, the Board established an updated estimated per share NAV of our common stock, as of December 31, 2017, of $9.37 per share.

Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our indebtedness and acquisition and operating expenses. Rental and other property income accounted for 87% and

Table of Contents

89% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 86% and 88% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As 96.3% of our rentable square feet was under lease, including any month-to-month agreements, as of June 30, 2018, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.3 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. CR IV Advisors regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing each tenant’s financial results, any available credit rating agency reports on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment and other information for changes and possible trends. If CR IV Advisors identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease.

Revenue

Our revenues consist primarily of rental and other property income from net leased commercial properties. We also incur certain operating expenses that are subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which results in tenant reimbursement income.

The increase in revenue of $2.9 million and $7.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to the acquisition of 15 rental income-producing properties, offset by the disposition of 16 properties, subsequent to June 30, 2017. Rental income from net leased commercial properties accounted for 87% and 86% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 89% and 88%, respectively, for the same periods in 2017. We also incurred certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $14.1 million and $29.6 million of tenant reimbursement income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $11.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

The primary general and administrative expense items are operating expense reimbursements to our advisor, escrow and trustee fees, state franchise and income taxes, office expenses and accounting fees.

The increase in general and administrative expenses of $130,000 and $39,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to increases in operating expense reimbursements to our advisor, offset by lower professional fees incurred, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses such as property repairs, maintenance and property-related insurance include both reimbursable and non-reimbursable property expenses. We are reimbursed by tenants for certain property operating expenses in accordance with the respective lease agreements.

The decrease in property operating expenses of $350,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to the disposition of 16 properties subsequent to June 30, 2017 and a decrease in property-level bad debt during the three months ended June 30, 2018, offset by the acquisition and management of 15 additional rental-income producing properties subsequent to June 30, 2017, as well as recognizing a full period of property operating expenses on the 23 properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The increase in property operating expenses of $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to the acquisition and management of 15 additional rental income-producing properties, offset by the disposition of 16 properties subsequent to June 30, 2017, as well as recognizing a full period of property operating expenses on the 27 properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Real Estate Tax Expenses

The increase in real estate tax expenses of $445,000 and $647,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to the acquisition of 15 additional rental income-producing properties, offset by the disposition of 16 properties subsequent to June 30, 2017, as well as recognizing a full period of real estate tax expenses on the 23 and 27 properties acquired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Advisory Fees and Expenses

Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets up to $2.0 billion, one-twelfth of 0.70% of the average invested assets over $2.0 billion up to $4.0 billion and one-twelfth of 0.65% of the average invested assets over $4.0 billion. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement.

The decrease in advisory fees and expenses of $48,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was due to a decrease in our average invested assets to $5.4 billion over the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $5.5 billion over the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The decrease in advisory fees and expenses of $271,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was due to a decrease in our average invested assets to $5.4 billion over the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $5.5 billion over the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Acquisition-Related Expenses

We reimburse CR IV Advisors or its affiliates for acquisition-related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring a property or the origination or acquisition of a loan, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of our independent directors, as commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to us. In April 2017, we adopted ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Our acquisitions made after the adoption of ASU 2017-01 qualify as asset acquisitions, and as such, acquisition-related fees and certain acquisition-related expenses related to these asset acquisitions are capitalized. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in April 2017, all of our costs related to property acquisitions, including acquisition fees described below, were expensed as incurred, and all of our acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations. Prior to April 2017, acquisition-related expenses primarily consisted of legal, deed transfer and other costs related to real estate purchase transactions, including costs incurred for deals that were not consummated. We also pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliates acquisition fees of up to 2.0% of: (1) the contract purchase price of each property or asset we acquire; (2) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset we acquire; (3) the purchase price of any loan we acquire; and (4) the principal amount of any loan we originate.

The increase in acquisition-related expenses of $5,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to an increase in advisor reimbursements. Acquisitions made during the three months ended June 30, 2017 were all accounted for as asset acquisitions, and as such, acquisition costs were capitalized.

The decrease in acquisition-related expenses of $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to the acquisition of 27 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $186.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, four of which which were accounted for as business combinations. No such costs were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Depreciation and Amortization

The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.3 million and $2.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to the acquisition of 15 additional rental income-producing properties, offset by the disposition of 16 properties, subsequent to June 30, 2017, as well as recognizing a full period of depreciation and amortization expenses on the 23 and 27 properties acquired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense and Other, Net

Interest expense and other, net also includes amortization of deferred financing costs.

The increase in interest expense and other, net of $1.2 million and $2.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate amount of debt outstanding to $2.47 billion and $2.48 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, from $2.45 billion and $2.38 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Same Store Properties

We review our stabilized operating results, measured by contract rental revenue, from properties that we owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year reporting periods, referred to as “same store” properties. Contract rental revenue is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance. Contract rental revenue is considered by management to be a helpful supplemental performance measure, as it provides a consistent method for the comparison of our properties. In determining the same store property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods, except for properties during the current or prior year that were under development or redevelopment.

“Non-same store” properties, for purposes of the table below, includes properties acquired on or after April 1, 2017 and any properties under development or redevelopment. As shown in the table below, contract rental revenue on the 859 same store properties for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $693,000 to $86.4 million, compared to $87.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Tenant bankruptcies at 11 same store properties account for $1.3 million of the net decrease in contract rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The same store properties were 96.1% occupied as of June 30, 2018 and 97.9% occupied as of June 30, 2017. The following table shows the contract rental revenue from properties owned for both of the entire three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, along with a reconciliation to rental income, calculated in accordance with GAAP (dollar amounts in thousands):

“Non-same store” properties, for purposes of the table below, includes properties acquired on or after January 1, 2017 and any properties under development or redevelopment. As shown in the table below, contract rental revenue on the 855 same store properties for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased $1.2 million to $170.7 million, compared to $171.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Tenant bankruptcies at 11 same store properties account for $2.1 million of the net decrease in contract rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The same store properties were 96.1% occupied as of June 30, 2018 and 97.9% occupied as of June 30, 2017.

Distributions

The Board authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001711452 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, we had distributions payable of $16.0 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we paid distributions of $97.0 million and $97.1 million, respectively, including $47.1 million and $51.7 million, respectively, through the issuance of shares pursuant to the DRIP Offerings. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $109.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $106.1 million and reflected a reduction for real estate acquisition-related expenses incurred of $1.4 million in accordance with GAAP. Our distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, including shares issued pursuant to the DRIP Offerings, were fully funded by net cash provided by operating activities.

Share Redemptions

Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering, net of shares redeemed to date. In addition, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. We received redemption requests of approximately 14.9 million shares for $139.1 million in excess of the net proceeds we received from the issuance of shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Management, in its discretion, limited the amount of shares redeemed for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to an amount equal to net proceeds we received from the sale of shares pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering during the respective period. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we received valid redemption requests under our share redemption program totaling approximately 32.5 million shares, of which we redeemed 2.5 million shares as of June 30, 2018 for $23.6 million (at an average redemption price of $9.37 per share) and 2.5 million shares were redeemed subsequent to June 30, 2018 for $23.2 million at an average redemption price of $9.37 per share. The remaining redemption requests relating to approximately 27.5 million shares went unfulfilled. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of our share redemption program then in effect. The share redemptions were funded with proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We expect to utilize funds from cash flow from operations and future proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions and for general corporate uses. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by the rental income received from current and future leased properties.

Our Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $1.40 billion, which includes a $1.05 billion unsecured Term Loan and up to $350.0 million in unsecured Revolving Loans. As of June 30, 2018, we had $149.2 million in unused capacity under the Credit Facility, subject to borrowing availability. As of June 30, 2018, we also had cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related assets and the payment of acquisition-related fees and expenses, operating expenses, distributions, redemptions and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings, including principal repayments of $486,000 within the next 12 months. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our future acquisitions. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. We believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from sources other than those described above within the next 12 months.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related assets and the payment of tenant improvements, acquisition-related fees and expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on any current and future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from cash flow from operations, borrowings on the Credit Facility, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders, and proceeds raised pursuant to the Secondary DRIP Offering.

We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we have used, and may continue to use, other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including borrowings on the Credit Facility and/or future borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower than expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Offerings or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions and redemptions to our stockholders.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2018, we had $2.5 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%. See Note 7 — Notes Payable and Credit Facility to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding.

Our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

(1)	The table does not include amounts due to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates pursuant to our advisory agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable.

Table of Contents


(3)	As of June 30, 2018, we had $193.4 million of variable rate debt effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swap agreements. We used the effective interest rates fixed under our interest rate swap agreements to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods.


(4)	As of June 30, 2018, we had variable rate debt outstanding of $20.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2%. We used the weighted average interest rate to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods.


(5)	As of June 30, 2018, the Term Loan outstanding totaled $1.05 billion, $811.7 million of which is subject to interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted average all-in interest rate for the Swapped Term Loan was 3.2%. The remaining $437.3 million outstanding under the Credit Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% as of June 30, 2018.

We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and other real estate-related assets. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our borrowings will not exceed 75% of the cost of our gross assets (or 300% of net assets) as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with justification for such excess borrowing. The Board has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing. Our advisor has set a target leverage ratio of 40% to 50% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets. Fair market value is based on the estimated market value of our real estate assets as of December 31, 2017 that were used to determine our estimated per share NAV, and for those assets acquired from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 is based on the purchase price. As of June 30, 2018, our ratio of debt to the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our gross assets was 48.7% and our ratio of debt to the fair market value of our gross assets was 45.8%.

Our management reviews net debt as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage, and we therefore believe that the presentation of net debt provides useful information to stockholders. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure used to show our outstanding principal debt balance, excluding certain GAAP adjustments, such as premiums or discounts, financing and issuance costs, and related accumulated amortization, less all cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2018, our net debt leverage ratio, which is the ratio of net debt to total gross real estate assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 48.6%. The following table provides a reconciliation of the notes payable and credit facility, net balance, as reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, to net debt as of June 30, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.5 million to $109.6 million, compared to $106.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change was primarily due to the acquisition of 15 additional rental income-producing properties, partially offset by the disposition of 16 properties subsequent to June 30, 2017, resulting in an increase in net income after non-cash adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net, of $5.6 million. This increase was offset by a decrease in the write-off of deferred financing costs of $866,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of the amended and restated Credit Facility that was entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, the increase of net cash provided by operating activities was offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $578,000 and a net decrease in the changes in working capital accounts of $607,000. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.

Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash provided by investing activities was $14.8 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $175.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change was primarily due to the disposal of 12 properties for an aggregate gross sales price of $17.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the acquisition of 27 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $186.7 million and the disposition of 11 properties for an aggregate sales price of $17.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $124.0 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $71.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings on notes payable and the Credit Facility of $209.3 million, offset by a decrease in deferred financing costs paid of $13.2 million.

Election as a REIT

We elected to be taxed, and currently qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).

If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:

Table of Contents


•	Recoverability of Real Estate Assets; and


•	Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets.

A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2017 and related notes thereto.

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that we consider include, but are not limited to: bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors; a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations; vacancies; co-tenancy clauses; reduced lease rates; changes in anticipated holding periods; or other circumstances. We are in the process of determining if anticipated holding periods for certain properties may materially differ from the initial intended holding periods for such properties, which could result in an impairment charge in the future.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with CR IV Advisors or its affiliates whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates such as acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, leasing fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 11 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Conflicts of Interest

Richard S. Ressler, our chief executive officer, president and the chairman of our board of directors, who is also a founder and principal of CIM and certain of its affiliates as well as a director of CCIT III and Cole Income NAV Strategy, and Nathan D. DeBacker, our chief financial officer and treasurer, act as executive officers and/or a director of one or more other programs sponsored by CCO Group. One of our directors, W. Brian Kretzmer, also serves as a director of CCIT III and Cole Income NAV Strategy. In addition, certain affiliates of CR IV Advisors act as advisors to CCPT V, CCIT II, CCIT III, Cole Income NAV Strategy, and/or other real estate offerings in registration, all of which are or intend to be public, non-listed REITs offered, distributed and/or managed by affiliates of CR IV Advisors. As such, there may be conflicts of interest where CR IV Advisors or its affiliates, while serving in the capacity as sponsor, general partner, officer, director, key personnel and/or advisor for CIM or another real estate program sponsored or operated by CCO Group, including other real estate offerings in registration, may be in conflict with us in connection with providing services to other real estate-related programs related to property acquisitions, property dispositions, and property management, among others. The compensation arrangements between affiliates of CR IV Advisors and these other real estate programs sponsored or operated by CCO Group could influence the advice provided to us. See Part I, Item 1. Business — Conflicts of Interest in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2018, we had variable rate debt of $457.8 million, excluding any debt subject to interest rate swap agreements, and therefore, we are exposed to interest rate changes in LIBOR. As of June 30, 2018, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $2.3 million per year.

As of June 30, 2018, we had 11 interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which mature on various dates from August 2018 through July 2021, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion and an aggregate fair value of the net derivative asset of $19.5 million. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads. As of June 30, 2018, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a change of $11.7 million to the fair value of the net derivative asset, resulting in a net derivative asset of $31.2 million. A decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a $11.9 million change to the fair value of the net derivative asset, resulting in a net derivative asset of $7.6 million.

As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2018, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.

These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs and assume no other changes in our capital structure.

Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We are subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these tenants, states or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.

The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants and mitigation options.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2018 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2018, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we are a party or to which our properties are the subject.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.


Item 2.	Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to significant conditions and limitations. Under our share redemption program, we will not redeem in excess of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid. Funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the cumulative net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering, net of shares redeemed to date. In addition, generally we will limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. We received redemption requests of approximately 14.9 million shares for $139.1 million in excess of the net proceeds we received from the issuance of shares under the Secondary DRIP Offering during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Management, in its discretion, limited the amount of shares redeemed for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to shares received from the Secondary DRIP Offering during the period. The estimated per share NAV of $9.37 determined by the Board as of December 31, 2017 serves as the most recent estimated value for purposes of the share redemption program, effective March 29, 2018, until such time as the Board determines a new estimated per share NAV.

In general, we redeem shares on a quarterly basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we redeemed shares, including those redeemable due to death, as follows:



Period	Total Number of Shares Redeemed	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
April 1, 2018 - April 30, 2018	—	$	—	—	(1)
May 1, 2018 - May 31, 2018	2,515,286	$	9.37	2,515,286	(1)
