Third Quarter 2016 Distributions
On July 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared normal monthly distributions for the third quarter of 2016 as set forth below:

The Company has adopted an opt-out distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of its shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash distribution, shareholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash.
