On October 20, 2022, KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc.'s (the "Company") board of directors authorized an October 2022 distribution in the amount of $0.04983333 per share on the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 21, 2022, which the Company expects to pay in November 2022.

Cancellation of All Unsatisfied Ordinary Redemption Requests for Calendar Year 2022

As previously disclosed, as of August 1, 2022, the Company had exhausted the funds available under the share redemption program for Ordinary Redemptions (defined below) for calendar year 2022. Ordinary Redemptions under the share redemption program are expected to resume for the January 31, 2023 redemption date. No Ordinary Redemption requests will be accepted or collected under the share redemption program until January 3, 2023, and all unsatisfied Ordinary Redemption requests for calendar year 2022 have been cancelled and must be resubmitted. For a stockholder's shares to be eligible for redemption or to withdraw a redemption request, the Company must receive a written notice from the stockholder or from an authorized representative of the stockholder in good order and on a form approved by the Company at least five business days before the redemption date, or January 24, 2023 in the case of the January 2023 redemption cycle.

Ordinary Redemptions are all redemptions other than those that qualify for the special provisions for redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder's death, "Qualifying Disability" or "Determination of Incompetence" (each as defined in the share redemption program and, together, "Special Redemptions"). As of October 21, 2022, the Company had approximately 291,000 shares available for Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2022.

The Company's board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the share redemption program upon ten business days' notice. There are several limitations on the Company's ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program. The complete share redemption program document is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022 and is available at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
