This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on IITs current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, IITs ability to consummate additional acquisitions and otherwise execute on its investment strategy, the availability of affordable financing, IITs ability to identify and time investments that will generate attractive returns for investors and those risks set forth in the Risk Factors section of IITs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (available at www.industrialincome.com).
