INCREASE IN OFFERING PRICE

On October 19, 2016, we increased our public offering price from $8.90 per share to $9.00 per share. This increase in our public offering price will be effective as of our October 20, 2016 weekly closing. In accordance with our share pricing policy, our board of directors determined that an increase in the public offering price per share was warranted following an increase in our estimated net asset value per share in order to ensure that our net asset value per share does not exceed our net offering price per share. As a result of the increase in our public offering price per share, our maximum combined sales commission and dealer manager fee per share and the net proceeds per share will correspondingly increase from $0.89 to $0.90 and $8.01 to $8.10, respectively.
