You may return your properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Company via the prepaid return envelope included with the Offer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS




SUMMARY TERM SHEET
(Section references are to this Offer to Purchase)
This Summary Term Sheet highlights the material information concerning this Offer. For a more complete discussion of the terms and conditions of the Offer, you should read carefully the entire Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, which will be mailed to stockholders on October 3, 2017.
What is the Offer?
We are offering to purchase up to approximately $200 million of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares. The Offer is for cash at a price per share equal to the most recently determined NAV per share of $9.69 as of August 31, 2017 (the “Purchase Price”). The Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.
Why is Hines Global II offering to purchase the Shares?
The Offer is designed to provide liquidity to holders of our Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares who invested in our common stock prior to our proposed Follow-on Offering (as defined below). On August 18, 2017, we announced the suspension of our share redemption programs, effective August 18, 2017, in anticipation of our proposed Follow-on Offering and this Offer. Also on August 18, 2017, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File no. 333-220046) with the SEC to pursue our second public offering of common shares (the “Follow-on Offering”). The Registration Statement for the Follow-on Offering reflects that we intend to become a REIT without a finite date by which we must complete a liquidity event and reflects a restructuring that will impact, among other things, the share classes we intend to offer and the compensation to be paid to Hines Securities, Inc., the dealer manager for our public offerings (the “Dealer Manager”) and our Advisor (the “Restructuring”). See Section 2 for additional information concerning the Restructuring. As part of the Restructuring, we intend to amend our charter to redesignate our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and to reclassify our authorized but unissued common stock into four additional classes of common stock. The Follow-on Offering will consist of the four new classes of common stock. We do not intend to offer any of the Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares that are the subject of this Offer in our Follow-on Offering. The Follow-on Offering is subject to regulatory review, which may result in changes to certain of the proposed terms of the Follow-on Offering and may impact the timing of the commencement of the Follow-on Offering. In addition, our Board may delay the proposed Restructuring and the commencement of the Follow-on Offering until it deems it appropriate to do so and may decide, in its sole discretion, not to go forward at all with the proposed Restructuring and the Follow-on Offering.
Our Board unanimously approved (i) the suspension of sales of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering, effective as of September 30, 2017, and (ii) the tender offer for up to approximately $200 million of our issued and outstanding common stock, in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares.
We anticipate lifting the suspension and reinstating our share redemption programs on the later of December 4, 2017 or ten business days following the termination or expiration of the Offer. As there is no public market for Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares, the Offer is the only means of liquidity for holders of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares at this time. As noted in our prior filings with the SEC, there is no guarantee of a future liquidity event for the Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares. See Section 2 below.



1


When will the Offer expire, and may the Offer be extended?
The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on November 15, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended. We may extend the period of time the Offer will be open by issuing a press release or making some other public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day after the Offer otherwise would have expired. See Section 15 below.
Are there conditions to the Offer?
Yes. See Section 3 below.
How many Shares will Hines Global II purchase?
We are offering to purchase for cash up to 20,639,835 Shares in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares, at a purchase price equal to $9.69 per Share, or an aggregate of approximately $200 million of Shares, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase. Properly tendering Shares assures you that at least a portion of your Shares will be purchased so long as we purchase Shares under the Offer (subject to provisions relating to proration described in Section 1 below). In accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, we may determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by up to, but not more than, 2% of the outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. This could result in the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer increasing by up to approximately 0.8 million Shares.
We will announce the preliminary results of the Offer through an amendment to the Schedule TO, including the expected proration factor, if any, and pay the Purchase Price in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, for the Shares we accept for payment promptly after the Expiration Date. If we are required to pro rate, however, we expect it may take at least five business days after the Expiration Date to calculate the final proration factor and begin paying for Shares accepted for payment.
What if stockholders tender more than 20,639,835 Shares?
If more than 20,639,835 Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will purchase Shares properly tendered on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustments to avoid the purchase of fractional Shares.
Because of the proration provisions described in this Offer to Purchase, it is possible that we will not purchase all of the Shares that you tender. If the Offer is oversubscribed, the amount of Shares that we purchase from you will be prorated.
If we are required to pro rate, DST Systems, Inc., our transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), will determine the proration factor promptly following the Expiration Date. The proration factor will be based on the ratio of (i) 20,639,835 (or, if we determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer as described above, the increased aggregate number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Offer) to (ii) the total number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by all stockholders, with appropriate adjustments to avoid the purchase of fractional Shares. The number of Shares accepted for purchase for each stockholder will equal the number of Shares validly tendered by each stockholder multiplied by the proration factor. Because of the difficulty in determining the number of Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn, we expect that, if we are required to prorate, we will not be able to announce the final proration factor or commence payment for any Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer until at least five business days after the Expiration Date. The preliminary results of any proration will be announced through publicly filing an amendment to the Schedule TO as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. The number of Shares that we will purchase from a stockholder pursuant to the Offer may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the stockholder of the purchase and, therefore, may be relevant to a stockholder’s decision whether to tender

2


Shares. Each stockholder should consult with their tax advisor to evaluate the tax consequences of tendering or selling Shares in the Offer. See Section 1 below.
If I tender my Shares, and you accept the Shares I tender, will I receive distributions accrued before my Shares are accepted?
Yes, you will be entitled to receive any distributions that accrue prior to the date on which Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to this Offer to Purchase. Distributions declared by the Board will accrue on all of your Shares on a daily basis until the Expiration Date. For Shares validly tendered, distributions will cease to accrue on the date that such Shares are purchased through the Offer. Shares purchased in the Offer will therefore no longer be eligible to receive distributions except for any distributions declared to stockholders of record on a date prior to the date that we accept those Shares for payment. Distributions will continue to accrue in accordance with current practice for Shares not tendered or not accepted for purchase.
Distributions accrued for Shares validly tendered will be paid consistent with our current distribution payment practices. As described below, if you tender all of your Shares and have all of your Shares accepted for purchase through the Offer, the accrued distributions on such Shares will be paid to you in cash, regardless of whether you currently participate in our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”). If you continue to own Shares following the Offer, your accrued distributions on such Shares will be paid in accordance with your current distribution payment election of cash or participation in the DRP.
What if I participate in the DRP and want to tender all of my Shares?
If you are a participant in the DRP, any Shares you are entitled to receive through the DRP prior to the Expiration Date will be tendered if you indicate on the Letter of Transmittal that you elect to tender “ALL” of your Shares and we accept all of your Shares for payment in the Offer. Note that even if you tender all of your Shares, we may not accept all of them for payment. If the Offer is oversubscribed, we will prorate the number of Shares we purchase from tendering stockholders. See Section 1 below.
If you are a participant in the DRP, you tender all of your Shares, and we accept all of such Shares for payment, any distributions that are accrued on such Shares through the date we accept the Shares for payment will be made in cash. If we do not accept all of your Shares for payment, distributions that are accrued on any of your Shares until the Expiration Date, including tendered Shares that are accepted by us for payment, will be reinvested in Shares pursuant to the DRP. Daily distributions that have been declared for the month of October will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those participating in the DRP and will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day in November 2017. Furthermore, we expect that daily distributions for the month of November will be authorized by the Board on or before November 1, 2017 and will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those participating in the DRP and will be paid or issued, respectively, on the first business day in December 2017, which is after the Expiration Date.
What if I participate in the DRP and do not want to tender Shares I may receive in the DRP?
If you do not want to tender any Shares that you may receive through the DRP prior to the Expiration Date, then you should tender less than all of your Shares on the Letter of Transmittal by writing in a number of Shares that represents less than all whole Shares you own at the time you submit your Letter of Transmittal.
What will happen to my fractional Shares in connection with the Offer?
If you are tendering all of your Shares and the Offer is not over-subscribed, we will purchase your properly tendered Shares, including any fractional Share, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. If you tender less than all of your Shares by writing in a number of Shares on the Letter of Transmittal that represents less than all of the whole Shares you own at the time that you submit your Letter of Transmittal, any fractional Share that you own will not be tendered. If the Offer is over-subscribed and your tendered Shares are

3


subject to purchase on a pro rata basis, the proration will be adjusted to avoid the purchase of your fractional Share. See Section 11.
How do I tender my Shares?
If your Shares are registered in your name, you should obtain the Offer, which consists of the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and any amendments or supplements thereto, read the materials, and, if you should decide to tender, complete a Letter of Transmittal and submit any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. These materials must be received by us at the address listed on page 6 of this Offer to Purchase, in proper form, before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on November 15, 2017 (unless the Offer is extended by us, in which case the new deadline will be as stated in the public announcement of the extension). You may return your properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to us via the prepaid return envelope included with the Offer. If your Shares are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should contact such holder to obtain the package of information necessary to make your decision, and you can only tender your Shares by directing that firm to complete, compile and deliver the necessary documents for submission to us by 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on November 15, 2017 (or if the Offer is extended, the expiration date as extended). See Section 4 below.
Is there any cost to me to tender?
There is no cost charged by us in connection with the Offer. However, if you hold your Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee and that person tenders Shares on your behalf, that person may charge you a fee for doing so. We urge you to consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, custodian or other nominee to determine whether any such charges will apply. See Section 6 below.
May I withdraw my Shares after I have tendered them and, if so, by when?
Yes, you may withdraw your Shares at any time prior to the expiration of the Offer (including any extension period) by requesting a Notice of Withdrawal at (888) 220-6121 and submitting it to us at the address listed on page 6 of this Offer to Purchase. In addition, you may withdraw your tendered Shares any time after December 1, 2017 (which is 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer) if they have not been accepted for payment by that date. See Section 5 below.
How do I withdraw tendered Shares?
A Notice of Withdrawal must be timely received by us, which specifies the name of the stockholder who tendered the Shares, the number of Shares being withdrawn and other information. A Notice of Withdrawal is available upon request by contacting us at (888) 220-6121. See Section 5 below.
May I place any conditions on my tender of Shares?
No.
If I decide not to tender, how will the Offer affect the Shares I hold?
If you elect not to participate in the Offer, your Shares will remain outstanding. If we repurchase Shares pursuant to the Offer but you elect not to tender your Shares, your percentage ownership interest in the Company will increase after completion of the Offer, but will be diluted once we commence our Follow-on Offering and sell additional common stock. See Section 10 below.

Does Hines Global II have the financial resources to make payment for Shares accepted in the Offer?
Yes. See Section 7 below.
If Shares I tender are accepted by Hines Global II, when will payment be made?
Payment for properly tendered Shares (not timely withdrawn) will be made promptly following expiration of the Offer. See Section 6 below.
Is there any reason Shares tendered would not be accepted?
In addition to those circumstances described in Section 1 below regarding proration and in Section 3 below under which we are not required to accept tendered Shares, we have reserved the right to reject any and all tenders determined by us not to be in appropriate form. If a properly completed tender is not timely submitted prior to the Expiration Date, the Shares tendered will not be accepted. See Section 4 below.
Is my sale of Shares in the Offer a taxable transaction?
For most stockholders, yes. We anticipate that U.S. Stockholders (as defined below), other than those who are tax-exempt, who sell Shares in the Offer will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the cash they receive for the Shares sold and their adjusted basis in the Shares. The sale date for tax purposes will be the date we accept Shares for purchase. See Section 14 below for details, including the nature of the income or loss and the possibility of other tax treatment. Section 14 also discusses the treatment of Non-U.S. Stockholders (as defined below). We urge you to consult your tax advisor as well.
How will tendered Shares be accepted for payment?
Properly tendered Shares will be accepted for payment by us promptly following expiration of the Offer. See Section 6 below.
What action do I need to take if I decide not to tender my Shares?
None.
Does management encourage stockholders to participate in the Offer, and will they participate in the Offer?
No. None of the Company, the Board or our Advisor is making any recommendation to tender or not to tender Shares in the Offer. Based upon information provided or available to us, none of our directors, officers or affiliates intends to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Offer does not, however, restrict the repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer from any such person. See Section 9 below.

Section 1.      Purchase Price; Number of Shares; Expiration Date; Proration.
We are offering to purchase for cash up to 20,639,835 of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares, at a purchase price equal to $9.69 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $200 million in Shares. In addition, in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, we may determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by up to, but not more than, 2% of the outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. This could result in the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer increasing by up to approximately 0.8 million Shares. The Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. You will not receive interest on the Purchase Price under any circumstances.
As of September 29, 2017, there were 40,804,475 Shares issued and outstanding, consisting of 20,028,842 Class A Shares 20,684,136 Class T Shares and 91,496 Class I Shares.
The Offer will remain open until 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on November 15, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”), unless we, in our discretion, extend the period of time during which the Offer will remain open. If we extend the period of time during which the Offer remains open, the term “Expiration Date” will refer to the latest time and date at which the Offer expires. See Section 15 below for a description of our rights to extend, delay, terminate or amend the Offer.
If we materially change the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules require that the minimum period during which an offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the offer or information concerning the offer (other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of such terms or information. If (i) we increase or decrease the price to be paid for Shares, or we increase or decrease the number of Shares being sought and (ii) the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth (10th) business day from, and including, the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given, the Offer will be extended at least until the expiration of such period of ten (10) business days.
A “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time.
Stockholders properly tendering Shares can expect to have at least a portion of their Shares purchased if any Shares are purchased pursuant to the Offer (subject to provisions relating to proration described herein).
We will not accept or pay for any Shares that are subject to, and all Shares tendered in the Offer must be free and clear of, any liens, charges, encumbrances, security interests, claims, restrictions and equities whatsoever. We will acquire all rights and benefits arising from any Shares that we accept and pay for in the Offer, provided that any dividends or distributions which may be declared, paid, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the tendered Shares to stockholders of record on or prior to the date on which the Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be for the account of the tendering stockholder(s).
Proration

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Offer to Purchase, if more than 20,639,835 Shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, we will purchase all Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn on a pro rata basis, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional Shares, as described below, until we have purchased up to 20,639,835 Shares; provided that we may determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the number of Shares purchased by up to, but not more than, 2% of the outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer which, if we do so, could result in the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer increasing by up to approximately 0.8 million Shares.

The Transfer Agent will determine the proration factor following the Expiration Date, if required. Subject to adjustments to avoid the purchase of fractional Shares, the proration factor will be based on the ratio of (i) 20,639,835 (or, if we determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer as described above, the increased aggregate number of Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Offer) to (ii) the total number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by all stockholders. The number of Shares accepted for purchase for each stockholder will equal the number of Shares validly tendered by each stockholder multiplied by the proration factor. Because of the difficulty in determining the number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, if we are required to pro rate, we do not expect that we will be able to announce the final proration factor or commence payment for any Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer until at least five business days after the Expiration Date. The preliminary results of any proration will be announced through publicly filing an amendment to the Schedule TO as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date.
WHILE THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THIS OFFER, NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE BOARD OR THE ADVISOR IS EXPRESSING ANY OPINION AS TO WHETHER A STOCKHOLDER SHOULD ACCEPT OR REJECT THIS OFFER. THE BOARD RECOGNIZES THAT THE DECISION TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE OFFER IS AN INDIVIDUAL ONE THAT SHOULD BE BASED ON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, AND STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR PERSONAL ADVISORS IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR FINANCIAL OR TAX SITUATIONS.
Section 2.      Purpose of the Offer; Plans or Proposals of the Company.
The Offer is designed to provide liquidity to holders of our Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares who invested in our common stock prior to our proposed Follow-on Offering. On August 18, 2017, we announced the suspension of our share redemption programs, effective August 18, 2017, in anticipation of our proposed Follow-on Offering and this Offer. Also on August 18, 2017, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File no. 333-220046) with the SEC to pursue the Follow-on Offering. The Registration Statement for the Follow-on Offering reflects that we intend to become a REIT without a finite date by which we must complete a liquidity event and reflects a Restructuring that will impact, among other things, the share classes we intend to offer and the compensation to be paid to our Dealer Manager and our Advisor. As part of the Restructuring, we intend to amend our charter to redesignate our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and to reclassify our authorized but unissued common stock into four additional classes of common stock. The Follow-on Offering will consist of the four new classes of common stock. We do not intend to offer any of the Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares that are the subject of this Offer in our Follow-on Offering.
In addition, as described in our filings with the SEC on August 18, 2017, as part of the Restructuring and upon commencement of the Follow-on Offering, we intend to, among other things:
update our investment objectives (see Section 12 below);
revise the compensation we pay to our Dealer Manager in connection with our public offering to reduce broker dealer fees and expenses in connection with our public offerings;
revise the fees we pay to our Advisor, including the elimination of acquisition fees and disposition fees;
change the frequency with which we calculate the NAV per share from quarterly to monthly;
change the frequency with which we declare distributions from daily to monthly;
convert our current distribution reinvestment plan into an automatic enrollment distribution reinvestment plan; and
amend our share redemption program that is currently applicable to Class I Shares in order to make it applicable to all classes of shares, which will enhance liquidity for holders of Class A Shares and Class T Shares and will create a larger liquidity pool to benefit all stockholders.

The Follow-on Offering is subject to regulatory review, which may result in changes to certain of the proposed terms of the Follow-on Offering and may impact the timing of the commencement of the Follow-on Offering. In addition, our Board may delay the proposed Restructuring and the commencement of the Follow-on Offering until it deems it appropriate to do so and may decide, in its sole discretion, not to go forward at all with the proposed Restructuring and the Follow-on Offering.
Our Board unanimously approved (i) the suspension of sales of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering, effective as of September 30, 2017, and (ii) the tender offer for up to approximately $200 million of our issued and outstanding common stock, in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares.
We anticipate lifting the suspension and reinstating our share redemption programs on the later of December 4, 2017 or ten business days following the termination or expiration of the Offer. As there is no public market for Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares, the Offer is the only means of liquidity for holders of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares at this time. As noted in our prior filings with the SEC, we intend to operate as an entity without a finite date by which we must complete a liquidity event as of the commencement of the Follow-on Offering, and there is no guarantee of a future liquidity event for the Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares.
Except as disclosed herein, as previously disclosed by us or as may occur in the ordinary course of business, we do not have any present plans and are not engaged in any negotiations that relate to or would result in (i) any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving us or our subsidiaries; (ii) other than in connection with transactions in the ordinary course of our operations and for purposes of funding the Offer, any purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of our assets or our subsidiaries assets; (iii) any material change in our present dividend rate or policy, or our indebtedness or capitalization; (iv) any change in the composition of our Board or management, including, but not limited to, any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of members of our Board, to fill any existing vacancies on our Board or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer; (v) any class of our equity securities being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an automated quotations system operated by a registered national securities association; (vi) any class of our equity securities becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; (vii) the suspension of our obligation to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (viii) other than in connection with transactions in the ordinary course of our operations, the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; or (ix) any changes in our charter, bylaws or other governing instruments or other actions that could impede the acquisition of control of the Company.
Section 3.      Certain Conditions of the Offer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, we will not be required to purchase any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer if such repurchase will cause us to be in violation of the securities, commodities or other laws of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction. Further, we will not be required to purchase any Shares tendered in the Offer if there is any (i) material legal action or proceeding instituted or threatened which challenges, in the Board’s judgment, the Offer or otherwise materially adversely affects us, (ii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal, state or foreign authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States, the State of New York or in a foreign country which is material to us, (iii) limitation which affects us or the issuers of our portfolio securities imposed by federal, state or foreign authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions or on the exchange of foreign currencies, (iv) commencement of war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States or any foreign country that is material to us or (v) other event or condition which, in the Board’s judgment, would have a material adverse effect on us or our stockholders if Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer were purchased.
The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, and any such condition may be waived by us, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in our reasonable judgment. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be

9


deemed a waiver of any such right; the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts or circumstances; and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time; provided that any such waiver shall apply to all tenders of Shares. Any determination by us concerning the events described in this Section 3 shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge our determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. We reserve the right at any time during the pendency of the Offer, to amend, extend or terminate the Offer in any respect. See Section 15 below.
Section 4.      Procedures for Tendering Shares.
Participation in the Offer is voluntary. If you elect not to participate in the Offer, your Shares will remain outstanding. To participate in the Offer, you must complete and deliver the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (or, if your Shares are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, instruct such holder to do the same on your behalf) to:
Hines Global REIT II, Inc.
P.O. Box 219010
Kansas City, Missouri 64121

The Letter of Transmittal must be received by us at the address above before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date. You may return your properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to us via the prepaid return envelope included with the Offer.
(a)      Proper Tender of Shares and Method of Delivery .
For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal bearing original signature(s) for all Shares to be tendered and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal must be physically received by us at the address listed above before 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date. These materials may be sent via mail, courier or personal delivery. Stockholders who desire to tender Shares registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact that firm to effect a tender on their behalf.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. IF DOCUMENTS ARE SENT BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED.
Stockholders have the responsibility to cause their Shares to be tendered, the Letter of Transmittal properly completed and bearing original signature(s) and the original of any required signature guarantee(s), and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to be timely delivered. Timely delivery is a condition precedent to acceptance of Shares for purchase pursuant to the Offer and to payment of the Purchase Price. You may return your properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to us via the prepaid return envelope included with the Offer.
(b)      Determination of Validity .
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge our determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined not to be in appropriate form or to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or pay for, any Shares if, in the opinion of our counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such Shares would be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender, whether generally or with respect to any particular Share(s) or stockholder(s). Our interpretations, in

10


consultation with our counsel, of the terms and conditions of the Offer shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge our determination in a court of competent jurisdiction.
NONE OF THE COMPANY, THE BOARD, THE ADVISOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS OR WILL BE OBLIGATED TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY DEFECT OR IRREGULARITY IN ANY TENDER, AND NONE OF THEM WILL INCUR ANY LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO GIVE ANY SUCH NOTICE.
(c)      United States Federal Income Tax Withholding .
To prevent the imposition of U.S. federal backup withholding tax on the gross payments made pursuant to the Offer, prior to receiving such payments, each stockholder accepting the Offer who has not previously submitted to us a correct, completed and signed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (“Form W-9”) (for U.S. Stockholders) or IRS Form W-8BEN (“Form W-8BEN”), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (“Form W-8BEN-E”), IRS Form W-8IMY (“Form W-8IMY”), IRS Form W-8ECI (“Form W-8ECI”) or other applicable form (for Non-U.S. Stockholders), or otherwise established an exemption from such withholding, must submit the appropriate form to us. See Section 14 below. The applicable rate for backup withholding is currently 28%.
For this purpose, a “U.S. Stockholder” is, in general, a stockholder that is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of such income or (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and (B) one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. A “Non-U.S. Stockholder” is any stockholder other than a U.S. Stockholder.
Section 5.      Withdrawal Rights.
At any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date, and, if the Shares have not by then been accepted for payment by us, at any time after December 1, 2017 (which is 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer), any stockholder may withdraw any number of the Shares that the stockholder has tendered.
To be effective, a written Notice of Withdrawal must be timely received by us via mail, courier or personal delivery at the address listed on page 6 of this Offer to Purchase. Any Notice of Withdrawal must specify the name(s) of the stockholder having tendered the Shares to be withdrawn and the number of Shares to be withdrawn. A Notice of Withdrawal is available upon request by contacting us at (888) 220-6121.
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge our determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. Shares properly withdrawn will not thereafter be deemed to be tendered for purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Shares, however, may be re-tendered by following the procedures described in this Section 4 above prior to 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on the Expiration Date.
Section 6.      Payment for Shares.
Our acceptance of your Shares will form a binding agreement between you and the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Offer. We will have accepted for payment Shares validly submitted for purchase and not withdrawn, when we give oral or written notice to the Transfer Agent, of our acceptance for payment of such Shares pursuant to the Offer. You will not receive interest on the purchase price under any circumstances, even if there is a delay in making payment.
If we are required to pro rate, the Transfer Agent will determine the proration factor and pay for those tendered Shares accepted for payment promptly after the Expiration Date. We do not expect to be able to announce the final

11


results of any proration or commence payment for any Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer until at least five business days after the Expiration Date. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will not occur on any date on which a distribution is paid by us. All Shares tendered and not purchased due to proration will be returned to the tendering stockholders.
We will purchase 20,639,835 Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of September 29, 2017. We may determine, in our sole discretion, to increase the value of Shares purchased in the Offer and thereby increase the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer by no more than 2% of the outstanding Shares without amending or extending the Offer. If we do so, the number of Shares accepted for payment in the Offer will increase by up to approximately 0.8 million Shares.
If more than 20,639,835 Shares are duly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m. Central Time on the Expiration Date and proration is required as described in Section 1, we will not pay for any Shares tendered until after the final proration has been completed.
In all cases, payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by us of: (i) a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and bearing an original signature(s) and any required signature guarantee(s) and (ii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal. Stockholders may be charged a fee by a broker, dealer or other institution for processing the tender request. We will pay any transfer taxes payable on the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer. If, however, tendered Shares are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such person of such Shares will be deducted from the Purchase Price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted. We will not be obligated to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer under certain conditions, see Section 3 above.
Any tendering stockholder or other payee who has not previously submitted a correct, completed and signed Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8ECI or other appropriate form, as necessary, and who fails to complete fully and sign either the Form W-9 in the Letter of Transmittal or other appropriate form ( e.g. , Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI) and provide such properly completed form to us may be subject to federal backup withholding on the gross proceeds paid to such stockholder or other payee pursuant to the Offer. The applicable rate for backup withholding is currently 28%. See Section 14 regarding this tax as well as possible withholding at the rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on the amounts payable to tendering Non-U.S. Stockholders.
Section 7.      Source and Amount of Funds.
If this Offer is fully subscribed and we purchase approximately $200,000,000 in any combination of Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares at a price per share equal to $9.69 per Share, we will purchase 20,639,835 shares. However, the actual number of Shares to be repurchased, and therefore our total cost of repurchasing Shares pursuant to the Offer, is not determinable at this time. We intend to fund the purchase of Shares in this Offer and pay related costs by using our available cash, which is likely to include funds received from advances under the Restated Hines Credit Facility, as defined and described below. Our ability to draw on the Restated Hines Credit Facility is not a condition of this Offer. We contemplate repaying any borrowed funds out of cash from operations, proceeds from the disposition of assets, capital raised through our public offerings, and/or proceeds from new loans secured by one or more of our properties.
We intend to fund the purchase of the Shares under this Offer with advances from the uncommitted loan agreement dated as of October 2, 2017, between Hines Global REIT II Properties LP, as borrower, and Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”), as lender (the “Restated Hines Credit Facility”). Hines is our Sponsor. The Restated Hines Credit Facility is for a maximum principal amount of $240.0 million. Interest on each advance is charged monthly at a variable rate, which is the greater of (i) Hines’ then-current borrowing rate under its revolving credit facility and (ii) if the Operating Partnership enters into a revolving credit facility, the rate under such facility. As of October 3,

12


2017, the effective interest rate for advances under the Restated Hines Credit Facility was 2.98%. Each advance under the Restated Hines Credit Facility must be repaid within six months, subject to one six-month extension at the option of the Operating Partnership and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Restated Hines Credit Facility will terminate on the earlier of (a) the termination of the availability period as determined by Hines at its discretion (which will not impact the maturity date of any outstanding or previously approved advance under the credit facility); (b) December 31, 2018; and (c) the date Hines accelerates the repayment of the Restated Hines Credit Facility pursuant to any event of default. As of October 3, 2017, we had $35.0 million outstanding under the Restated Hines Credit Facility.
Notwithstanding that each advance under the Restated Hines Credit Facility matures six months after it is made, the Operating Partnership is required to repay each advance with proceeds from any capital raised , unless the Operating Partnership enters into a revolving credit facility (the "OP Facility"), at which point it may use proceeds from any capital raised to repay the OP Facility, if any, prior to repaying any advances under the Restated Hines Credit Facility. The Restated Hines Credit Facility also permits voluntary prepayment of principal and accrued interest.
The Restated Hines Credit Facility requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants including covenants concerning indebtedness to total asset value beginning the earlier of (a) September 30, 2018 or (b) the effective date of the OP Facility, if any. In addition, the Restated Hines Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, prohibit us and the Operating Partnership from: (i) merging with other companies or changing ownership interest; (ii) selling all or substantially all of our assets or properties; and (iii) if in default under the Restated Hines Credit Facility, paying distributions to our stockholders other than as required to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust. The Restated Hines Credit Facility also requires us to deliver to Hines certain quarterly and annual financial information.
The Restated Hines Credit Facility contains various customary events of default. As is customary in such financings, if an event of default occurs under the Restated Hines Credit Facility, Hines may accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Restated Hines Credit Facility and exercise other remedies subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of an applicable cure period.
Section 8.      Financial Statements.

The address of each person listed is c/o Hines Global REIT II, Inc., 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 5000, Houston, Texas 77056-6618.
(2)
For purposes of this table, “beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, pursuant to which a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of shares of our stock that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our stock held by each person or group of persons named in the table, any shares that such person or persons have the right to acquire within 60 days of September 29, 2017 are deemed to be outstanding, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other persons. .
(3)
Includes all common shares owned directly by Hines Global REIT II Investor Limited Partnership. Mr. Hines is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares owned by Hines Global REIT II Investor Limited Partnership.
(4)
This amount does not include the (i) 21,111 OP Units in the Operating Partnership and (ii) the Special OP Units owned by Hines Global REIT II Associates Limited Partnership. Mr. Hines and Gerald D. Hines indirectly own and/or control Hines Global REIT II Associates Limited Partnership. Limited partners in the Operating Partnership may request repurchase of their OP Units for cash or, at our option, common shares on a one-for-one basis, beginning one year after such OP Units were issued.

During the 60 days ended October 2, 2017, we sold an aggregate of 393,331 Class A Shares, 2,015,100 Class T Shares and 68,655 Class I Shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering for $4,100,217, $20,271,903 and $668,017, respectively. The Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares were sold pursuant to the terms of the registration statement for our initial public offering at a price per share of $10.64 per Class A Share, 10.06 per Class T Share and $9.65 per Class I Share. Also, during the 60 days ended October 2, 2017, we repurchased 422 Class A Shares, no Class T Shares and no Class I Shares, at an average price per share equal to $9.96.
On September 13, 2017, we entered into a Restricted Share Award Agreement with each of Humberto “Burt” Cabañas, Dougal A. Cameron and John O. Niemann, Jr., who serve as our independent directors. Pursuant to such agreements, each independent director elected or reelected to our Board (whether through a stockholder meeting or by directors to fill a vacancy on the board) will be granted $5,000 in restricted Class A Shares on or about the date of

14


election or reelection. These restricted Class A Shares will fully vest on the earlier to occur of: (i) the first anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the independent director serving continuously as an independent director through and until the first anniversary of the applicable grant date; (ii) the termination of service as an independent director due to the independent director’s death or disability; or (iii) a change in control of the Company, subject to the independent director serving continuously through and until the date of the change in control of the Company. The shares will be issued at the most recently determined NAV per share. Pursuant to these agreements, we issued an aggregate of 1,554.405 Class A Shares to our independent directors on September 13, 2017.
Except for transactions pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, based upon our records and upon information provided to us, there have been no other transactions involving the Shares that were effected during the past 60 days by us, by any of our executive officers or directors, by any person controlling us, by any executive officer or director of any corporation ultimately in control of us or by any associate or subsidiary of any of the foregoing including any executive officer or director of any such subsidiary. Except as set forth in the Offer, neither we nor, to the best of our knowledge, any of the above-mentioned persons, is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person relating, directly or indirectly, to the Offer with respect to any of our securities (including any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship concerning the transfer or the voting of any such securities, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of loans, guaranties against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, consents or authorizations). Based upon information provided or available to us, none of our directors, officers or affiliates intends to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer. The Offer does not, however, restrict the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer from any such person.
Section 10.      Certain Effects of the Offer.
The repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer may have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Company of stockholders who do not tender Shares. All stockholders remaining after the Offer will be subject to any increased risks associated with the reduction in the number of our outstanding Shares and the reduction in our assets resulting from payment for the tendered Shares. Depending on how many Shares are purchased, the Offer will decrease the amount of cash we have available for other purposes, such as making new investments, and will likely increase our leverage and our borrowing costs as we intend to finance a portion of the Offer with borrowings under the Hines Credit Facility. Stockholders who tender all of their Shares will give up the opportunity to participate in any potential future benefits from owning Shares, including the right to receive any future dividends or distributions that we may pay. All Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued Shares, which will be reclassified into four new classes of shares of our common stock as discussed in Section 2 above.
Section 11.      Treatment of Fractional Shares.
If you are tendering all of your Shares and the Offer is not over-subscribed, we will purchase your properly tendered Shares, including any fractional Share, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Offer to Purchase. If you tender a total number of whole Shares such that if this number was to be accepted by us you would be left with only a fractional Share on the our stock ledger, we will consider you to be tendering all of your Shares, including the fractional Share. If you tender less than all of your Shares by writing in a number of Shares on the Letter of Transmittal that represents less than all of the whole Shares you own at the time that you submit your Letter of Transmittal, any fractional Share that you own will not be tendered. If the Offer is over-subscribed and your tendered Shares are subject to purchase on a pro rata basis, the proration will be adjusted to avoid the purchase of your fractional Share.
Section 12.      Certain Information about the Company.
We are an externally managed corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. Our Advisor is responsible for identifying, evaluating and negotiating the structure of our investments and making investment decisions on our behalf, according to asset allocation and other guidelines set by our board of directors. In addition,

15


we have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
As part of our proposed Restructuring described in Section 2 above, we plan to update our primary investment objectives to consist of:
provide income in the form of regular, stable cash distributions to achieve an attractive distribution yield;
preserve and protect invested capital;
invest in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments across a range of asset types throughout the U.S. and internationally;
realize appreciation in NAV from proactive investment management and asset management;
provide an investment alternative for investors seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to commercial real estate with generally lower volatility than publicly traded real estate companies; and
qualify for and remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Section 14.      Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.
The following discussion is a general summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, rulings and administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, changes in which could affect the tax consequences described herein and could occur on a retroactive basis. This summary addresses only Shares held as capital assets. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, this summary does not address (i) any state, local or foreign tax considerations that may be relevant to a stockholder’s decision to tender Shares pursuant to the Offer; or (ii) any tax consequences to partnerships or entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes (or their partners or members) tendering Shares pursuant to the Offer. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer, as well as the effects of state and local tax laws. See Section 4(c) above.
(a)      U.S. Stockholders .
The sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, either as a “sale or exchange,” or, under certain circumstances, as a distribution by the Company potentially taxable as a “dividend.” Under Section 302(b) of the Code, a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer generally will be treated as a “sale or exchange” if the receipt of cash: (i) results in a “complete termination” of the stockholder’s interest in the Company, (ii) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the stockholder or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the stockholder. In determining whether any of these tests has been met, Shares actually owned, as well as Shares considered to be owned by the stockholder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code, generally must be taken into account. If any of these three tests for “sale or exchange” treatment is met, a stockholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the Offer and the tax basis of the Shares sold. The gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss. In general, capital gain or loss with respect to Shares sold will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for such Shares is more than one year. The maximum long-term capital gains rate applicable to individual stockholders is currently 20%. The ability to deduct capital losses is limited. Under the “wash sale” rules of the Code, recognition of a loss on Shares sold pursuant to the Offer will ordinarily be disallowed to the extent a stockholder acquires substantially identical Shares within thirty (30) days before or after the date the Shares are purchased by us pursuant to the Offer. In that event, the basis and holding period of the Shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Additionally, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gains dividends received by the stockholder (or amounts credited to the stockholder as undistributed capital gains) with respect to such Shares.
If none of the tests set forth in Section 302(b) of the Code are met, amounts received by a stockholder who sells Shares pursuant to the Offer will be treated as received by the stockholder as a distribution from the Company, and will be taxable to the stockholder as a “dividend” to the extent of such stockholder’s allocable share of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, and the excess of such amounts received over the portion that is taxable as a dividend will constitute a non-taxable return of capital (to the extent of the stockholder’s tax basis in the Shares sold pursuant to the Offer). Any amounts received in excess of the stockholder’s tax basis in such case will constitute taxable gain. If the amounts received by a tendering stockholder are treated as a “dividend,” the tax basis in the Shares tendered to the Company will be transferred to any remaining Shares held by such stockholder.
In addition, if a tender of Shares is treated as a “dividend” to a tendering stockholder, the IRS may take the position that a constructive distribution under Section 305(c) of the Code may result to stockholders whose proportionate interests in our earnings and assets of has been increased by such tender, e.g., non-tendering stockholders.

17


Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possibility of deemed distributions resulting from the sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
We may be required to withhold a portion of the gross proceeds paid to a U.S. Stockholder or other payee pursuant to the Offer unless the U.S. Stockholder has completed and submitted to us a Form W-9 providing the U.S. Stockholder’s employer identification number or social security number, as applicable, and certifying under penalties of perjury that: (a) such number is correct; (b) either (i) the U.S. Stockholder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the U.S. Stockholder has not been notified by the IRS that the U.S. Stockholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of an under-reporting of interest or dividends, or (iii) the IRS has notified the U.S. Stockholder that the U.S. Stockholder is no longer subject to backup withholding; or (c) an exception applies under applicable law. The applicable rate for backup withholding is currently 28%.
(b)      Non-U.S. Stockholders .
The U.S. federal income taxation of a Non-U.S. Stockholder on a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer depends on whether any resulting income is “effectively connected” with a trade or business carried on in the United States by the Non-U.S. Stockholder (and if an income tax treaty applies, on whether the Non-U.S. Stockholder maintains a U.S. permanent establishment) as well as the tax characterization of the transaction as either a sale of the Shares or a dividend distribution by us, as discussed above for U.S. Stockholders. We believe that we are a domestically controlled REIT, and that any gain from a sale of Shares therefore will not be treated as effectively connected income under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (“FIRPTA”). If we are a domestically controlled REIT and if a sale of Shares pursuant to the Offer gives rise to gain or loss rather than dividend treatment, any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Stockholder upon the tender of Shares pursuant to the Offer generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or to any U.S. tax withholding; provided , however , that such a gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be applicable under an income tax treaty) if the Non-U.S. Stockholder is a nonresident alien individual who is physically present in the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year of the sale. If, however, Non-U.S. Stockholders are deemed, for the reasons described above in respect of U.S. Stockholders, to receive a dividend distribution from us with respect to Shares they tender, the portion of the distribution treated as a dividend to the Non-U.S. Stockholder would be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be applicable under a tax treaty) if the dividend is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Stockholder.
If we are not a domestically controlled REIT, our Shares would be treated as U.S. real property interests under FIRPTA and any gain recognized upon sale of Shares would be treated as effectively connected income and FIRPTA withholding rules would apply. If income on the tender of Shares by a Non-U.S. Stockholder is considered to be effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Stockholder (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the Non-U.S. Stockholder maintains a U.S. permanent establishment), regardless of whether the tender is characterized as a sale or as giving rise to a dividend distribution from us for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the transaction will be treated and taxed in the same manner as if the Shares involved were tendered by a U.S. Stockholder.
Any dividends or gains received by a corporate Non-U.S. Stockholder that are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business in which the corporate stockholder is engaged (and if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the corporate Non-U.S. Stockholder) also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or lower applicable treaty rate.
Non-U.S. Stockholders should provide us with a properly completed Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY, Form W-8ECI or other applicable form in order to avoid backup withholding on the cash they receive from us regardless of how they are taxed with respect to their tender of the Shares involved.
The tax discussion set forth above is included for general information only. Each stockholder is urged to consult such stockholder’s own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to him or her of the Offer, including the applicability and effect of state, local and foreign tax laws.

The method of delivery of all documents is at the option and risk of the Signatory (as defined below) and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended.

3. Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal, Powers of Attorney and Endorsements .

(a) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares to be tendered, the signature(s) of the holder on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond exactly with the name(s) on the subscription agreement accepted by the Company in connection with the purchase of the Shares, unless such Shares have been transferred by the registered holder(s), in which event this Letter of Transmittal should be signed in exactly the same form as the name of the last transferee indicated on the stock ledger maintained in book-entry form by DST Systems, Inc., the Company’s transfer agent.

(b) If any Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

(c) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares listed, such person must so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of such person’s authority to so act must be submitted.

4. Withholding . The Company is entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to be made pursuant to the Offer to any stockholder whose Shares are accepted for tender by the Company any amounts that the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to making such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other provision of state, local, or foreign tax law. To the extent any amounts are withheld, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been made and attributable to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. To prevent the imposition of U.S. federal backup withholding tax on the gross payments made pursuant to the Offer, prior to receiving such payments, each stockholder accepting the Offer who has not previously submitted to the Company a correct, completed and signed Internal Revenue Service (“ IRS ”) Form W-9 (“ Form W-9 ”) or substituted Form W-9 (included with the original subscription)

2




(for U.S. Stockholders) or IRS Form W-8BEN (“ Form W-8BEN ”), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (“ Form W-8BEN-E ”), IRS Form W-8IMY (“ Form W-8IMY ”), IRS Form W-8ECI (“ Form W-8ECI ”), or other applicable form (for Non-U.S. Stockholders), or otherwise established an exemption from such withholding, must submit the appropriate form to the Company. This form requirement is intended to prevent the potential imposition of U.S. federal backup withholding tax on the gross payments made pursuant to the Offer, prior to receiving such payments. Certain persons holding Shares (including among others, most corporations and certain foreign persons) are exempt from backup withholding. The applicable rate for backup withholding is currently 28%. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person or persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained by an affected stockholder from the IRS. A stockholder should consult his or her tax advisor as to his or her qualification for exemption from the backup withholding requirements and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

5. Determinations of Validity . All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge the Company’s determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined not to be in appropriate form or to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or pay for, any Shares if, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such Shares would be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect in any tender, whether generally or with respect to any particular Share(s) or stockholder(s). The Company’s interpretations, in consultation with its counsel, of the terms and conditions of the Offer shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering stockholders to challenge the Company’s determination in a court of competent jurisdiction.

6. Cost Basis . The Company has elected the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method as the default for calculating cost basis for covered shares as defined in the Company’s offering documents. If you wish to change your cost basis method, please contact Hines Investor Relations at 888.220.6121.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT CHANGES TO
YOUR HINES GLOBAL REIT II INVESTMENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are excited to share with you some changes we are making to Hines Global REIT II. On August 18, 2017, we filed a registration statement with the SEC outlining our plan for our follow-on offering and restructuring that the board of directors believes are in the best interests of our shareholders.

The new structure will revise, reduce or eliminate certain fees payable to our advisor and its affiliates. It will also significantly increase liquidity for our shareholders and establish an operating structure which will allow us to acquire and manage our investment portfolio in a more active and flexible manner. We believe these structural changes could result in greater access to equity capital and thus drive greater diversity within the portfolio, more efficient operating scale and a stronger balance sheet. If we’re successful in raising a significant amount of additional capital in this revised structure, we believe our shareholders’ total returns will be enhanced.

As explained in Supplement No. 4 to our prospectus dated August 18, 2017, our board of directors has approved the following:

Eliminating asset acquisition fees (currently 2.25% of acquisition cost) and disposition fees (currently 1% of disposition price);
Implementing a cap on our current annualized asset management fee of 0.75% of the value of our real estate investments (calculated monthly) to limit it to 1.25% of our net asset value (NAV);
Replacing our current back-end incentive fee with an annual performance fee that aligns more closely with the annual performance of our portfolio;
Enhancing transparency by announcing a NAV per share monthly rather than quarterly;
Raising the cap on redemptions for all shareholders to an annual maximum of 20% of our aggregate NAV, providing a greater opportunity to exit your investment when you determine it is right for you, and;
Operating as a real estate investment trust (REIT) of indefinite duration.

There is no action needed on your part if you wish to remain invested in Hines Global REIT II.  Simply disregard this letter and the accompanying tender offer materials. However, the board of directors recognizes that some shareholders may not wish to benefit from the restructuring described above and is making a tender offer for shares via the enclosed materials.  Per the tender offer, we are offering to repurchase up to approximately $200 million of our issued and outstanding shares from tendering shareholders at 100% of the NAV of $9.69 per share announced on October 3, 2017 (a $0.04 per share increase from the $9.65 per share NAV announced in March 2017).

We always recommend that you consult with your financial advisor before making any significant investment decisions.

We are excited about these changes to the structure of Hines Global REIT II, and believe they will position us well for continued success moving forward. Thank you again for your investment and ongoing support.
        
With kind regards,

Exhibit 99(a)(1)(G)

FORM OF RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”), made as __________, 201___, is by and between Hines Global REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “ Company ”), and ___________ , an independent director of the Company (the “ Director ”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) has determined that the Director and each of the Company’s other independent directors, as of the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which the director is re-elected to serve as an independent director of the Company, commencing with the September 2017 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “ 2017 Annual Meeting ”), will automatically be granted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”) as set forth below; and

WHEREAS, such shares of Common Stock are subject to certain vesting and transfer restrictions as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Director agree as follows:

1. Grant of Shares . Subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, as of each of (i) September 13, 2017, the date of the initial grant (the “ Initial Grant Date ”), and (ii) the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders thereafter at which the Director is elected as an independent director of the Company (each an “ Annual Grant Date ”, and together with the Initial Grant Date, each a “ Grant Date ”), the Director will be automatically granted $5,000 in shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock (the “ Shares ”). The Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be Shares of Common Stock classified as Class A Shares in the Company’s charter; provided, that, if the charter is amended from time to time after the date of this Agreement to change the designation of the Class A Shares from “Class A” to an alternative class designation, any Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement thereafter shall be Shares bearing such alternative class designation. The number of Shares to be granted shall be determined by dividing $5,000 by the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock that was most recently disclosed by the Company on or before the applicable Grant Date. Pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Shares are subject to certain restrictions, which restrictions and possible risk of forfeiture will expire in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof. During the period that Shares remain subject to any of the restrictions under this Agreement, the Shares will be referred to herein as “ Restricted Shares ”.

2. Restrictions on Transfer . The Director shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares, at any time during the period (the “ Non-Assignment Period ”) that begins on the applicable Grant Date for the Restricted Shares and ends on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Grant Date applicable to the Restricted Shares, and (ii) the date on which Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in Appendix A) terminates by reason of the Director’s death or Disability (as defined in Appendix A). Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition of the Restricted Shares at any time during the Non-Assignment Period or otherwise in violation of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect and the Company shall have the right to disregard the same on its books and records and to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent.

3. Vesting . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall vest and become non-forfeitable as follows (but the Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions under Section 2 hereof until the last day of the Non-Assignment Period):

(a) One hundred percent (100%) upon the first anniversary of the applicable Grant Date ( i.e. , upon the first anniversary of the Initial Grant Date with respect to the Restricted Shares granted on the Initial Grant Date and upon the first anniversaries of each applicable Annual Grant Date for any Restricted Shares granted to the



Director on the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders), subject in each case to the Director remaining in Continuous Service through and until such vesting date.

(b) One hundred percent (100%) upon a termination of the Director’s Continuous Service (as defined on Appendix A) by reason of the Director’s death or Disability (as defined in Appendix A);

(c) One hundred percent (100%) on the effective date of the consummation of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix A), subject to the Director’s remaining in Continuous Service (as defined in Appendix A) through and until such vesting date.

(d) There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to the applicable vesting dates and all vesting will occur only on the appropriate vesting date.

4. Forfeiture . If the Director’s Continuous Service (as defined in Appendix A) terminates for any reason, the Director shall automatically forfeit any Restricted Shares that have not previously vested on or before the termination of Continuous Service and that do not become vested pursuant to Sections 3(b) or (c) by reason of such termination of Continuous Service, and the Company shall reacquire and cancel such forfeited Restricted Shares for no consideration. In addition, the Company may, in its discretion require that the Director repay to the Company the amount of any cash or other distributions received by the Director with respect to any Restricted Shares that are so forfeited.

5. Rights as a Holder of Restricted Shares . From and after the Grant Date, the Director shall have, with respect to the Restricted Shares, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote the Shares, to receive and, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 hereof, retain all regular cash distributions payable to holders of Shares of record on and after the Grant Date (although such distributions will be treated, to the extent required by applicable law, as additional compensation for tax purposes), and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Shares with respect to the Restricted Shares, with the exception that: (i) to the extent the Company issues a dividend in the form other than a cash distribution, including in the form of Shares or other property, such dividend will be subject to the same restrictions that are then applicable to the Restricted Shares and this Agreement and such restrictions will expire at the same time as the restrictions on the Restricted Shares expire; and (ii) the Director may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Shares during the Non-Assignment Period.
 
6. Taxes; Section 83(b) Election Shall Not Be Made; No Guaranty of Section 409A Compliance .
(a) The Director shall be solely responsible for all applicable foreign, Federal, state, local or other taxes with respect to the Restricted Shares; provided, however, that at any time the Company is required to withhold any such taxes, the Director acknowledges that (i) no later than the date on which any Restricted Shares will have become vested, the Director shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of, any Federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which will have become so vested; (ii) the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Director any Federal, state or local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Shares which will have become so vested, including that the Company may, but shall not be required to, sell a number of Restricted Shares sufficient to cover applicable withholding taxes; and (iii) in the event that the Director does not satisfy (i) above on a timely basis, the Company may, but shall not be required to, pay such required withholding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, treat such amount as a demand loan to the Director at the maximum rate permitted by law, with such loan, at the Company’s sole discretion and provided the Company so notifies the Director within thirty (30) days of the making of the loan, secured by the Restricted Shares and any failure by the Director to pay the loan upon demand will entitle the Company to all of the rights at law of a creditor secured by the Restricted Shares. The Company may hold as security any certificates representing any Restricted Shares and, upon demand of the Company, the Director shall deliver to the Company any certificates in his or her possession representing the Restricted Shares together with a stock power duly endorsed in blank.




(b) As a condition to each grant of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Director covenants and agrees that the Director shall not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any corresponding provisions of state tax laws, to be taxed on the value of the Restricted Shares on the Grant Date, and if the Director, attempts to make any such election, the Company, in its sole discretion, may revoke and cancel the award of the Restricted Shares for no consideration.

(c) Although the Company makes no guarantee with respect to the tax treatment of the Restricted Shares, the award of Restricted Shares pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and will be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. With respect to any distributions and other property issued in respect of the Shares, however, this Agreement is intended to comply with, or to be exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and will be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In no event whatsoever will the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Director by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

7. No Obligation to Continue Service . This Agreement is not an agreement of employment or service. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the issuance of the Restricted Shares hereunder constitute an agreement by the Company to employ or retain, or to continue to retain, the Director during the entire, or any portion of, the term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any period during which any Restricted Shares are outstanding, nor does it modify in any respect the Board’s right to modify the Director’s compensation and the right of the Company’s stockholders to terminate the Director’s service on the board.

8. Legend . In the event that a certificate evidencing the Restricted Shares is issued, the certificate representing the Restricted Shares will have endorsed thereon the following legends:

(a) “THE ANTICIPATION, ALIENATION, ATTACHMENT, SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE OR CHARGE OF THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND HINES GLOBAL REIT II, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) DATED AS OF ______________, 201__. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.”

(b) Any legend required to be placed thereon by applicable blue sky laws of any state.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be obligated to issue a certificate representing the Restricted Shares prior to vesting as set forth in Section 3 hereof.

9. Securities Representations . The Shares are being issued to the Director and this Agreement is being made by the Company in reliance upon the following express representations and warranties of the Director.

The Director acknowledges, represents and warrants that:

(a) the Director has been advised that the Director may be an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), currently or at the time the Director desires to sell the Shares following the vesting of the Restricted Shares, and in this connection the Company is relying in part on the Director’s representations set forth in this section.

(b) If the Director is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless an exemption from any applicable resale restrictions is available or the Company files an additional registration statement (or a “re-offer prospectus”) with regard to such Shares.

(c) The Company is under no obligation to register the Shares (or to file a “re-offer prospectus”).




(d) If the Director is deemed an affiliate within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act, the Director understands that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available unless (i) a public trading market then exists for the Common Stock, (ii) adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and (iii) other terms and conditions of Rule 144 or any exemption therefrom are complied with; and that any sale of the Shares may be made only in limited amounts in accordance with such terms and conditions.

10. Power of Attorney . The Company, its successors and assigns, is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, of the Director for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which such attorney-in-fact may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Company, as attorney-in-fact for the Director, may in the name and stead of the Director, make and execute all conveyances, assignments and transfers of the Restricted Shares provided for herein, and the Director hereby ratifies and confirms that which the Company, as said attorney-in-fact, will do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, the Director will, if so requested by the Company, execute and deliver to the Company all such instruments as may, in the judgment of the Company, be advisable for this purpose.

11. Miscellaneous .

(a) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal legal representatives, successors, trustees, administrators, distributees, devisees and legatees. The Company may assign to, and require, any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree in writing to perform this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Director may not assign this Agreement or any of the Director’s rights, interests or obligations hereunder.

(b) This award of Restricted Shares will not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or stockholders of the Company to make or authorize an adjustment, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure or the business of the Company, any merger or consolidation of the Company or subsidiaries, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Restricted Shares, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.
(c) The Director agrees that the award of the Restricted Shares hereunder is special incentive compensation and that it, any dividends paid thereon (even if treated as compensation for tax purposes) will not be taken into account as “salary” or “compensation” or “bonus” in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement or profit-sharing plan of the Company or any life insurance, disability or other benefit plan of the Company.
(d) No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

(e) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
(f) The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance by another party of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the right of such party to require performance of that provision, and any waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement.
(g) The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

(h) All notices, consents, requests, approvals, instructions and other communications provided for herein will be in writing and validly given or made when delivered, or on the second succeeding business day after being mailed by registered or certified mail, whichever is earlier, to the persons entitled or required to receive the same, addressed, in the case of the Company to the President of the Company at the principal office of the Company and, in the case of the Director, at the address most recently on file with the Company.




(i) This Agreement will be construed, interpreted and governed and the legal relationships of the parties determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland without reference to rules relating to conflicts of law.

(j) If any provision of this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

(k) This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any other documents expressly contemplated herein) and supersedes any prior agreements between the Company and the Director.
