(the “Company”), the Company closed its continuous public offering of common stock (the “Offering”) to new investors effective September 30, 2017. Through September 30, 2017, the Company raised approximately $172.0 million in the Offering, including proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $45.4 million.

Following the closing of the Offering, the Company expects that, subject to the discretion of the board of directors and applicable law, (i) the Company will no longer offer newly issued shares of common stock of the Company to new investors on a continuous basis, (ii) the Company will continue to conduct quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program, (iii) the Company will declare and pay distributions on a quarterly basis and (iv) the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will remain in effect.

Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
