The Company calculates weighted average underwritten capitalization
rate by dividing the anticipated cash net operating income the
Company expects to derive from the self storage properties acquired
or under contract for the twelve months immediately following the
Company’s acquisition or expected acquisition date, as applicable
(based upon information provided to the Company by the sellers of
these properties in the diligence process and certain assumptions
applied by the Company related to anticipated occupancy, rental
rates and expenses over such period), by the total aggregate
purchase price plus anticipated capital expenditures for the twelve
months immediately following the acquisition date. The Company
calculated the anticipated cash net operating income by subtracting
anticipated operating expenses (before interest expense and
depreciation and amortization, and supervisory and administrative
fees) at each property from the anticipated cash income from the
property.

on purchase price.
The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the
Company’s weighted average underwritten capitalization rates for
the self storage properties the Company acquired since October 1,
2016 or have under contract because they are based on information
provided to the Company by the sellers of these properties in the
diligence process and certain assumptions applied by the Company
related to anticipated occupancy, rental rates and expenses over
the twelve months immediately following the Company’s acquisition
or expected acquisition date, as applicable, and they are
calculated on a non-GAAP basis. The Company’s experience operating
these properties may change the Company’s expectations with
respect to the Company’s weighted average underwritten
capitalization rates. In addition, the actual weighted average
capitalization rates may differ from the underwritten weighted
average capitalization rates described above based on numerous
factors, including the Company’s difficulties achieving assumed
occupancy and/or rental rates, unanticipated expenses, the results
of the Company’s final purchase price allocation and property tax
reassessments, as well as the risk factors set forth in the
Preliminary Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference
therein. The Company can provide no assurance that the actual
capitalization rates for these properties will be consistent with
the weighted average underwritten capitalization rates set forth
above.
