Determination of Estimated Per Share NAV and Amendment and Restatement of Share Repurchase Program

Background and Conclusion of Estimated Per Share NAV

On March 5, the Company announced that its Board determined the Estimated Per Share NAV of its common stock and is providing such information to its stockholders and to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and their associated persons who participated in the Company's public offering in order to assist them in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations under the National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340.

To assist the Board in establishing the Estimated Per Share NAV, the Company engaged CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc., a FINRA registered broker dealer firm that specializes in providing real estate financial services ("CBRE Cap"). CBRE Cap provided an analysis of the Company's assets and liabilities (including individual property-level analyses), all of which was used to estimate a range of Estimated Per Share NAVs. A third-party financial risk management firm analyzed the fair market value of the Company's debt, and CBRE assessed the reasonableness of that valuation. The engagement of CBRE Cap was based on a number of factors, including CBRE Cap's expertise in valuation services and its, and its affiliates', breadth and depth of experience in real estate services. CBRE Cap engaged CBRE, Inc.'s Valuation & Advisory Services group, an affiliate of CBRE Cap that conducts appraisals and valuations of real properties (the "MAI Appraisals"), to perform cash flow projections and unlevered, ten-year discounted cash flow analyses from restricted-use appraisals for each of the Company's wholly-owned operating assets as of December 31, 2020 (the "Valuation Date"). Based on the MAI Appraisals, the Company's filings with the SEC and financial materials and other guidance provided by IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., the Company's business manager and advisor (the "Business Manager"), to CBRE Cap, CBRE Cap developed a valuation analysis of the Company's assets and liabilities and provided that analysis to the Board in a report presented on March 2, 2021 that contained, among other information, a range of per share net asset values for the Company's common stock as of the Valuation Date (the "Valuation Report"). There have been no changes between December 31, 2020 and the date of the Valuation Report that the Business Manager believes would materially impact the overall Estimated Per Share NAV as of December 31, 2020.

The Board reviewed the Valuation Report, met telephonically with representatives from CBRE Cap and considered the material assumptions and valuation methodologies applied and described therein. Taking into consideration the reasonableness of the valuation methodologies, assumptions, and the conclusions contained in the Valuation Report, on March 2, 2021, the Board determined the Company's total estimated net asset value to be approximately $651.3 million, or $18.08 per share, based on a share

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

count of approximately 36.0 million shares issued and outstanding as of the Valuation Date. The Valuation Report contained a range for the Company's Estimated Per Share NAV of $17.58 to $19.57. The mid-point of the range of values provided by CBRE Cap was $18.58. The Estimated Per Share NAV of $18.08 is lower than the mid-point of the range. Although the Company's portfolio is stabilized with an economic occupancy of 93.3%, the Board considered (i) the uncertainty created by the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, such as the ability of certain types of non-grocery retail tenants to pay rent, including rent deferred from 2020 to 2021, or continue in business and (ii) uncertainty regarding if and when base interest rates may rise and by how much, and the potential effects of interest rate changes on values of retail properties and debts. Additionally, retail real estate continues to experience volatility as a result of, among other things, shifting consumer shopping preferences and Internet competition. Approximately 37% of annualized base rent for leases in-place as of December 31, 2020 is generated from non-grocery big box retailers, a retail sector the Business Manager believes is currently impacted relatively more than certain other retail sectors by shifting consumer preferences and Internet competition. As a result, this retail sector was experiencing price dislocation even before the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to combat it, which have generally tended to exacerbate this price dislocation. In light of these factors, the Board selected an estimated per-share NAV lower than the mid-point of the range.

The Board's determination of the Estimated Per Share NAV was undertaken in accordance with the Company's valuation policy and the recommendations and methodologies of the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (formerly known as the Investment Program Association), a trade association for non-listed direct investment vehicles ("IPA"), as set forth in IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01 "Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs" (the "IPA Practice Guideline"). In accordance with the valuation policy and the IPA Practice Guideline, the Estimated Per Share NAV excludes any value adjustments due to the size and diversification of the Company's portfolio of assets.

The Estimated Per Share NAV represents a snapshot in time, will likely change over time, and may not represent the amount a stockholder would receive now or in the future for his or her shares of the Company's common stock. Stockholders should not rely on the Estimated Per Share NAV in making a decision to buy or sell shares of our common stock. The Estimated Per Share NAV is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and data that are inherently imprecise and susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, including changes to the value of individual assets as well as changes and developments in the real estate and capital markets, for example, market changes and developments that may result from the spread and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and changes in interest rates. Please see "Valuation Methodologies," and "Additional Information Regarding the Valuation, Limitations of the Estimated Per Share NAV and CBRE Cap" in this Current Report, below.

The Board, including all of the Board's independent members, and not CBRE Cap, is ultimately and solely responsible for the determination of the Estimated Per Share NAV. The Company currently expects to publish an updated Estimated Per Share NAV on at least an annual basis.

Valuation Methodologies

As of the Valuation Date, the Company's real estate portfolio was comprised of 44 retail properties, totaling approximately 6.5 million square feet. The weighted average period of time that the Company has owned the properties is 5.7 years as of the Valuation Date.

To estimate our per share value, CBRE Cap utilized the "net asset value" or "NAV" method, also known as the appraised value methodology, which is based on the fair value of real estate, real estate related investments and all other assets, less the fair value of total liabilities. The fair value estimate of our real estate assets is equal to the sum of their individual real estate values. Generally, CBRE Cap estimated the value of the Company's real estate assets using several methodologies, including a discounted cash flow, or "DCF," of projected net operating income, less lease-up discounts and deferred maintenance, as appropriate, for each property, for the ten-year period ending December 31, 2030, and applied a discount rate that it believed was consistent with the inherent level of risk associated with the asset. The other methodologies considered consisted of the "direct cap rate" and "sales comparison" approaches. CBRE Cap believed use of the DCF approach was more appropriate because the portfolio is comprised of multi-tenant assets.

The estimated value of the Company's real estate assets reflects an overall decrease of 6.6% compared to the Company's original cost of the real estate assets plus any capital expenditures invested in those real estate assets by the Company through December 31, 2020. For all other (non-real estate) assets, such as other current assets, fair value was determined separately based on book value. The Business Manager engaged a third-party financial risk management firm in determining the fair market value of the Company's debt by comparing current market interest rates to the contract rates on the Company's long-term debt and discounting to present value the difference in future payments. The fair market value of the Company's debt was reviewed by CBRE, Inc.'s Valuation & Advisory Services group for reasonableness and utilized in the Valuation Report. CBRE Cap determined that no incentive fee to the Business Manager would be payable under a hypothetical liquidation occurring within the range of values provided in the Valuation Report. CBRE Cap determined NAV in a manner consistent with the definition of fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles set forth in FASB's Topic ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Net asset value per share was estimated by subtracting the fair value of our total liabilities from the fair value of our total assets and dividing the result by the number of common shares outstanding as of the Valuation Date. CBRE Cap created a valuation

range by first establishing a discount rate and terminal capitalization rate for each real estate asset. CBRE Cap then applied a discount rate and terminal capitalization rate sensitivity analysis by varying the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate of each real estate asset by 2.5% in either direction, which represents an approximate 5% sensitivity on the discount rates and terminal capitalization rates, resulting in a value range equal to $17.58 to $19.57 per share. The mid-point in that range was $18.58. Discount rates and terminal capitalization rates were sourced from the MAI Appraisals and varied by location, asset quality and supply and demand metrics. The Estimated Per Share NAV determined by the Board of $18.08 assumes a weighted average discount rate equal to 7.96% and a weighted average terminal capitalization rate of 7.27%.

The terminal capitalization rate and discount rate have a significant impact on the estimated value under the net asset value method. The following chart presents the impact of changes to the Estimated Per Share NAV based on variations in the terminal capitalization rate and discount rate within the range of values determined by CBRE Cap.

The primary factors that impacted the Board's determination of the Company's Estimated Per Share NAV as compared to the Company's prior NAV determination as of December 31, 2019 were (i) a decrease in the value of the real estate assets due to the sale of three assets, higher terminal capitalization rates, and higher discount rates applied to certain assets and a decrease in rents at certain properties, (ii) an increase in cash and other assets, net of other liabilities, as a result of an increase in the cash balance, a decrease in distributions and share repurchase program payable of $0.37 per share because the Company suspended distributions and repurchases following the onset of the pandemic, offset by an increase in the fair value of derivatives liability due to a decrease in interest rates, (iii) a decrease in the fair market value of . . .
