On August 11, 2017, the Board approved and adopted Articles of Amendment, effective August 14, 2017 (the “Increase Articles of Amendment”), to amend the Company’s charter to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, from 200,000,000 to 400,000,000, such that, after including the previously-authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, the aggregate number of shares of stock which the Company has the authority to issue is 450,000,000 shares.

 

Immediately following its approval of the Increase Articles of Amendment, the Board approved and adopted Articles of Amendment, effective August 14, 2017 (the Class Name Change Articles of Amendment”), to rename and redesignate the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, as “Class C” common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class Name Change Amendment”).

 

Immediately following its approval of the Class Name Change Articles of Amendment, the Board approved and adopted Articles Supplementary, effective August 14, 2017 (the “Articles Supplementary”), to reclassify and designate 100,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, $0.001 par value per share, as “Class S” common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Reclassification”).

 

The Class Name Change Amendment and Reclassification are intended to facilitate an offering by the Company of shares of Class S common stock exclusively to non-U.S. persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under and in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act (the “Class S Offering”). As described in the Articles Supplementary, shares of Class S common stock have similar features and rights as shares of Class C common stock, including with respect to voting and liquidation, except that shares of Class S common stock offered in the Class S Offering may be sold through brokers or other persons who may be paid upfront and deferred selling commissions and fees.

The Class S DRP provides any holder of Class S common stock who elects to participate (a “Participant”) the ability to reinvest the dividends and other distributions declared and paid in respect of a Participant’s Class S shares to the purchase of additional Class S shares for such Participant, subject to the procedures and other provisions outlined therein. The Class S Repurchase Program provides eligible holders of Class S common stock purchased from time to time in the Class S Offering with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to present for repurchase all or a portion of their Class S shares to the Company in accordance with the procedures and other provisions outlined therein.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Charter.

 

Class S Common Shares

 

Section 1. Designation and Number . A class of stock of the Corporation, designated as “Class S Common Stock” (the “Class S Common Shares”), is hereby established. The total number of authorized Class S Common Shares shall be one-hundred million (100,000,000).

 

Section 2. Preferences and Rights .

Holders of the then outstanding Class S Common Shares shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment thereof, dividends and other distributions. Dividends and other distributions shall be made with respect to the Class S Common Shares at the same time as those made with respect to the Class C Common Shares. The dividends and other distributions with respect to Class S Common Shares may vary from dividends and other distributions with respect to each other class of stock of the Corporation to reflect, among other things, differences among the net asset values per share of each such class or series and to such extent and for such purposes as the Board may deem appropriate. The dividends and other distributions with respect to Class S Common Shares may vary among the holders of Class S Common Shares to account for differences in the fees and expenses that may be payable to selling agents with respect to such Class S Common Shares.

 

 

 

 

Section 4. Voting Rights . Each outstanding Class S Common Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

The holders of Class S Common Shares shall have exclusive voting rights on any amendment to the Charter (including the terms of the Class S Common Shares set forth herein) that would alter only the contract rights of the Class S Common Shares and no holders of any other class or series of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to vote thereon. The holders of Class S Common Shares shall have no right to vote on any amendment to the Charter (including the terms of the Class C Common Shares) that would alter only the contract rights of the Class C Common Shares.

 

Section 5. Application of the Charter . All provisions of the Charter applicable to the Class C Common Shares, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5.11, Section 5.12, Articles 6, Article 7, Section 8.5, Section 8.9, Section 8.10 and Section 9.1, shall apply to the same extent to the Class S Common Shares.

 

Section 6. Status of Redeemed Shares . Any Class S Common Shares that shall at any time have been redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall, after such redemption or acquisition, have the status of authorized but unissued Class S Common Shares.

 

SECOND: The Class S Common Shares have been classified and designated by the Board under the authority contained in the Charter.

 

THIRD: These Articles Supplementary have been approved by the Board in the manner and by the vote required by law.

 

FOURTH: The undersigned acknowledges these Articles Supplementary to be the corporate act of the Corporation and, as to all matters or facts required to be verified under oath, the undersigned acknowledges that, to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, these matters and facts are true in all material respects and that this statement is made under the penalties of perjury.

The Advisor or its Affiliates may subcontract the performance of its property management duties to third parties and pay all or a portion of its property management fee to the third parties with whom it contracts for these services.

 

(e) Leasing Commissions . If any Property of the Company becomes unleased and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates provides a substantial amount of the services (as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors) in connection with the Company’s leasing of such Property to unaffiliated third parties, then the Company shall pay to the Advisor (or such Affiliate) leasing commissions equal to 6.0% of the rents due under such lease for the first ten years of the lease term; provided, however (i) if the term of the lease is less than ten years, such commission percentage will apply to the full term of the lease and (ii) any rents due under a renewal of a lease of an existing tenant upon expiration of the initial lease agreement (including any extensions provided for thereunder) shall accrue a commission of 3.0% in lieu of the aforementioned 6.0% commission.

(i) 30% of the product of (a) the difference of (x) the Preliminary NAV per share minus (y) the Highest Prior NAV per share of such Applicable Class, multiplied by (b) the number of shares outstanding of such Applicable Class as of December 31 of the relevant annual period, but only if this results in a positive number, plus

 

(ii) 30% of the product of: (a) the amount by which aggregate cash distributions to holders of such Applicable Class during the annual period, excluding return of capital distributions, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the annual period, exceed the Preferred Return, multiplied by (b) the weighted average number of shares of such Applicable Class outstanding for the annual period calculated on a monthly basis; provided, however, that the Advisor shall cause an amount equal to one-third of the pro rata portion of its Subordinated Participation Fee attributable to Large Investors to be rebated to the Large Investors, on a pro rata basis based on each such Large Investor’s pro rata investment in the Company.

The Company may not borrow money from the Advisor or any Affiliate of the Advisor, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.

12. Other Services. Should the Directors request that the Advisor or any director, officer or employee thereof render services for the Company other than set forth in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors of the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(a) Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including, without limitation, the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee, or stockholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other participant therein. The Advisor shall report to the Directors the existence of any condition or circumstance, existing or anticipated, of which it has knowledge, which creates or could create a conflict of interest between the Advisor’s obligations to the Company and its obligations to or its interest in any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor or its Affiliates shall disclose to the Directors knowledge of such condition or circumstance in accordance with Section 13(d) hereof. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as the Company, it shall be the duty of the Directors (including the Independent Directors) to adopt the methods, if any, set forth in the Prospectus and the Offering Memorandum or another reasonable method by which properties are to be allocated to the competing investment entities and to use their best efforts to apply such method fairly to the Company.

 

13  

 

 

(b) The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to the Company which is consistent with the investment policies and objectives of the Company, but neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company.

 

(c) In the event that the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment which might be made by the Company and by another investment entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor and its Affiliates shall consider the investment portfolio of each entity, cash flow of each entity, the effect of the acquisition on the diversification of each entity’s portfolio, rental payments during any renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity, the policies of each entity relating to leverage, the funds of each entity available for investment and the length of time such funds have been available for investment. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available which is suitable for both the Company and a public or private entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates are Affiliated, then the entity which has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered the investment opportunity. For purposes of this conflict resolution procedure, an investment opportunity will be considered “offered” to the Company when an opportunity is presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration.

 

(d) The Advisor shall inform the conflicts committee of the Company’s Board of Directors each quarter of the investments that have been purchased by other Rich Uncles-sponsored programs and Rich Uncles-advised investors for whom the Advisor or one of its Affiliates serves as an advisor so that the conflicts committee can evaluate whether the Company is receiving its fair share of opportunities.

In the event of the termination of this Agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and take all reasonable steps requested to assist the Directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

17. Assignment to an Affiliate. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case such successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement.

In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-l(b)(2)(n)(d)(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.2(b(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.2(b)(iii) were not in this Agreement. This allocation is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be construed in accordance with the requirements thereof.

(iv) Gross Income Allocation . In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4,2(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been made as if Sections 4.2(b)(iii) and 4.2(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

 

(v) Nonrecourse Deductions . Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(vi) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions . Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

4.3 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 4.1(b) and 4.2 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations” ) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.3 . Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the general rules of Section 4.1 . In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.3 , the Partners shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.2(b)(i) and 4.2(b)(ii) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 4.2(b)(v) and 4.2(b)(iv) .

4.5 Distributions. Subject to Section 4.8, the Partnership shall make all distributions in accordance with the Partners’ Percentage Interests and at such times and in such amounts as determined by the General Partner.

Subject to Section 3.4 , each of the following shall be treated as a return of the Partners' Capital Contributions: (a) any distribution in excess of Net Profits; (b) any distribution in full or partial redemption of a Partner's Interest; and, to the extent determined by the General Partner, (c) any payment by the Partnership of Class S Offering Expenses.

 

4.6 Tax Withholdings. To the extent the Partnership is required by federal, state or local law or any tax treaty to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Partner, the Partnership shall withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required. The amount of such payments shall constitute an advance by the Partnership to such Partner and shall be repaid to the Partnership by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Partner or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Partner or, if such proceeds are insufficient, such Partner shall pay to the Partnership the amount of such insufficiency.

Alternatively, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, treat such advance as a return of capital pursuant to Section 4.5(c) , above.

Exhibit 99.1

 

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

 

Rich Uncles NNN REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRP”) applicable to its Class S Common Stock (the “Shares”), the terms and conditions of which are set forth below. Capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation unless otherwise defined herein.

 

1.  Number of Shares Issuable. The number of Shares authorized for issuance under the DRP is 10,000,000.

 

2.  Participants. “Participants” are holders of the Company’s Shares who elect to participate in the DRP.

 

3.  Dividend Reinvestment. The Company will apply that portion (as designated by a Participant) of the dividends and other distributions (“Distributions”) declared and paid in respect of a Participant’s Shares to the purchase of additional Shares for such Participant. Such Shares will be sold directly by the Company to the Participant in the same manner in which the Company sold the underlying Shares to which the Distributions relate unless the Participant makes a new election through a different distribution channel. The Company will not pay selling commissions on Shares purchased in the DRP.

 

4.  Procedures for Participation. Qualifying stockholders may elect to become Participants by completing and executing the Stock Purchase Agreement, an enrollment form or any other Company-approved authorization form as may be available from the Company. To increase their participation, Participants must complete a new enrollment form. Participation in the DRP will begin with the next Distribution payable after receipt of a Participant’s subscription, enrollment or authorization. Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the date that the Company makes a Distribution. Distributions will be paid as authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors.

 

5.  Purchase of Shares. Until the Company establishes an estimated value per Share that is not based on the price to acquire a Share in the Company’s primary offering or a follow-on offering, Participants will acquire Shares at a price of $10.00 per share. Beginning December 31, 2017, and thereafter annually on each December 31, the Company’s board of directors will annually adjust the offering price of Shares to a Net Asset Value per Class S Share (“NAV”) estimated by the Company. Upon the Company’s announcement that the Company has established an estimated NAV, Participants will acquire Shares at a price equal to the estimated NAV as updated annually. Participants in the DRP may purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. However, a Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the DRP to the extent such purchase would cause it to exceed limits set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

 

6.  Taxation of Distributions. The reinvestment of Distributions in the DRP does not relieve Participants of any taxes that may be payable as a result of those Distributions and their reinvestment pursuant to the terms of this DRP.

 

 

 

 

7.  Share Certificates. The Shares issuable under the DRP shall be uncertificated until the board of directors determines otherwise.

 

8.  Voting of DRP Shares. In connection with any matter requiring the vote of the Company’s stockholders, each Participant will be entitled to vote all Shares acquired by the Participant through the DRP.

 

9.  Termination by Participant. A Participant may terminate participation in the DRP at any time by delivering to the Company a written notice. To be effective for any Distribution, such notice must be received by the Company at least ten business days prior to the last day of the month to which the Distribution relates. Any transfer of Shares by a Participant will terminate participation in the DRP with respect to the transferred Shares.

 

10.  Amendment or Termination of DRP by the Company. The Company may amend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon ten days’ notice to the Participants. The Company may provide notice by including such information in a separate mailing to Participants.

 

11.  Liability of the Company. The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act.

 

12.  Governing Law. The DRP shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

Exhibit 99.2

 

Share Repurchase Program (Class S Common Stock)

 

The Corporation’s shares of Class S common stock (the “Shares”) are currently not listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on a national securities market, and currently there is no intention to list the Shares. In order to provide the Corporation’s stockholders with some liquidity, this Share Repurchase Program (the “Program”) has been adopted to enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Corporation in limited circumstances. Stockholders may present for repurchase all or a portion of their Shares to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Program. Upon such presentation, the Corporation may, subject to the conditions and limitations described below, repurchase the Shares presented for cash to the extent there are sufficient funds available for the repurchase. No fees will be paid to the Advisor or its affiliates to complete any transactions under the Program.

 

Repurchase Price

 

Provided the Shares have been held by the stockholder for at least one year, the Shares will be repurchased at a price equal to 100% of the most recently published NAV per Share, or in the absence of a published NAV per Share, then $10.00 per Share.

 

However, at any time we are engaged in an offering of shares, the price at which we will repurchase shares will never be greater than the applicable per-share offering price.

 

For purposes of determining the time period a stockholder has held each Share, the time period begins as of the date the stockholder acquired the Share.

 

The initial NAV and NAV per Share will be determined annually in January of each year as of December 31 of the prior year, beginning in January 2018 and calculated as of December 31, 2017. In addition, the NAV may be updated at any time between annual calculations of NAV to reflect significant events that have been determined have had a material impact on NAV.

 

NAV per Share will be published as follows:

 

(a)       in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or

 

(b)       in a supplement to an Offering Memorandum for the offering of the Shares

 

(c)       in a separate written notice to the stockholders; and

 

(d)       information about the NAV per Share will be posted on the Corporation’s website (such information may be provided by means of a link to our public filings on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov) and on the Corporation’s toll-free information line: (1-855-742-4862); and

 

(e)       in the event that NAV and NAV per Share change during any given year, the new NAV per Share will be announced no later than ten (10) business days prior to the second-to-last business day of the month in which such adjustment occurs.

 

Limitations on Repurchase

 

The Corporation may, but is not required to, use available cash not otherwise dedicated to a particular use to pay the repurchase price, including cash proceeds generated from the distribution reinvestment plan, securities offerings, operating cash flow not intended for distributions, borrowings and capital transactions, such as asset sales or refinancings.

 

In addition, the Corporation may not repurchase shares in an amount that would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.

 

Additional limitations on Share repurchases under the Program are as follows:

 

Pre-NAV Calculation.

 

Until the initial calculation of NAV and NAV per Share, to the extent the Board determines that there is sufficient available cash for Share repurchases, such repurchases shall be subject to the limit that, during any 12-month period, aggregate Share repurchases will not exceed 5% of the weighted-average number of Shares outstanding during the prior 12 months.

 

 

 

 

Post-NAV Calculation.

 

Following the initial calculation of NAV and NAV per Share currently scheduled to be calculated as of December 31, 2017, the Program will be subject to the following limitations on the number of Shares that may repurchased:

 

· Repurchases per month will be limited to no more than 2% of our most recently determined aggregate NAV, which is currently intended to be calculated on an annual basis beginning with a calculation as of December 31, 2017, and for any calendar quarter to no more than 5% of the most recently determined aggregate NAV, which means the Corporation will be permitted to repurchase Shares with a value of up to an aggregate limit of approximately 20% of aggregate NAV in any 12-month period.

 

· The foregoing repurchase limitations will be based on “net repurchases” during a quarter or month, as applicable. The term “net repurchases” means the excess of Share repurchases (capital outflows) over the proceeds from the sale of Shares (capital inflows) for a given period. Thus, for any given calendar quarter or month, the maximum amount of repurchases during that quarter or month will be equal to (1) 5% or 2% (as applicable) of the most recently determined aggregate NAV, plus (2) proceeds from sales of new shares in the current offering (including purchases pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) since the beginning of a current calendar quarter or month, less (3) repurchase proceeds paid since the beginning of the current calendar quarter or month.

 

· Alternatively, the Board may choose whether the 5% quarterly limit will be applied to “gross repurchases,” meaning that amounts paid to repurchase Shares would not be netted against capital inflows. If repurchases for a given quarter are measured on a gross basis rather than on a net basis, the 5% quarterly limit could limit the amount of shares redeemed in a given quarter despite the Corporation receiving a net capital inflow for that quarter.

 

· In order for the Board to change the basis of repurchases from net to gross, or vice versa, the Corporation will provide notice to stockholders (i) in a supplement to the Offering Memorandum for the offering of the Shares or current or periodic report filed with the SEC; and (ii) in a press release or on our website, at least ten (10) days before the first business day of the quarter for which the new test will apply. The determination to measure repurchases on a gross basis, or vice versa, will only be made for an entire quarter, and not particular months within a quarter.

 

Procedures for Repurchase

 

Qualifying stockholders who desire to have their Shares repurchased must give notice as provided on their personal on-line dashboard at www.RichUncles.com . All requests for repurchase must be received by the Advisor at least two (2) business days prior to the end of a month. Shares repurchase requests may be withdrawn, provided they are received by the Advisor at least two (2) business days prior to the end of a month. Shares will be repurchased on the 3rd business day after the end of a month in which a request for repurchase was received and not withdrawn.

 

Any determination to repurchase less Shares than requested during any month due to the lack of sufficient funds shall be disclosed to the Corporation’s current and prospective stockholders.

 

In the event that some but not all of the Shares submitted are repurchased in a given period, Shares submitted for repurchase during such period will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. If, in each of the first two (2) months of a quarter, the 2% monthly repurchase limit is reached and repurchases are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will be less than 2% of NAV because repurchases for that month, combined with repurchases for the two previous months, cannot exceed 5% of aggregate NAV.

 

All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted at the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the Program (in the event of its suspension), as applicable, to be eligible for repurchase in a later month.

 

Amendment, Suspension or Termination of Program and Notice

 

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Program without approval of holders of the Shares upon 30 days’ notice, if the Board believes such action is in the best interests of stockholders and the Corporation, including because Share repurchases place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations, adversely affect stockholders whose shares are not repurchased, or if the Board determines that the funds otherwise available to fund our Share repurchases are needed for other purposes. In addition, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Program due to changes in law or regulation, or if the Board becomes aware of undisclosed material information that it believes should be publicly disclosed before shares are repurchased. Material modifications, including any reduction to the monthly or quarterly limitations on repurchases, and suspensions of the stock repurchase program, will be promptly disclosed (i) in a supplement to the Offering Memorandum for the offering of the Shares, or (ii) in a current or periodic report filed with SEC; and (iii) on the Corporation’s website.
