Statements
in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations
or projections relating to items such as the implementation of strategic
initiatives and the timing of payment of distributions are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect
to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and
future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward looking statements include the risks associated with the limitations on
the Company's share redemption program, the Company's ability to raise and
invest offering proceeds and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section
of Hines REIT’s Registration Statement on Form S-11, its Annual Report on Form
