Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As reported earlier, on August 14, 2014, Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc. (the “Registrant”), through 26 wholly-owned subsidiaries of its operating partnership, Strategic Storage Operating Partnership II, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), executed 26 partial assignments of the purchase and sale agreement originally executed by a subsidiary of the Registrant’s sponsor on July 9, 2014, with unaffiliated third parties (the “26 Property Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of a portfolio of 26 self storage facilities (the “26 Property Portfolio”). The 26 Property Portfolio consists of 14 self storage facilities located in California; four self storage facilities located in Michigan; three self storage facilities located in Colorado; two self storage facilities located in Illinois and one self storage facility located in each of New Jersey, Washington and Maryland. The aggregate purchase price for the 26 Property Portfolio is approximately $129.4 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees. As reported earlier: on January 23, 2015, the Registrant closed on the purchase of the first phase (the “First Phase”) of the 26 Property Portfolio which consisted of seven self storage facilities for approximately $26.3 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees; on January 29, 2015, the Registrant closed on the purchase of the second phase (the “Second Phase”) of the 26 Property Portfolio which consisted of five self storage facilities for approximately $28.6 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees; on February 5, 2015, the Registrant closed on the purchase of the third phase (the “Third Phase”) of the 26 Property Portfolio which consisted of seven self storage facilities for approximately $45.8 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees; on February 19, 2015, the Registrant closed on the purchase of the fourth phase (the “Fourth Phase”) of the 26 Property Portfolio which consisted of two self storage facilities for approximately $10.9 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees; and on May 8, 2015, the Registrant closed on the purchase of the fifth phase (the “Fifth Phase) of the 26 Property Portfolio which consisted of three self storage facilities located in Michigan for a purchase price of approximately $11.9 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees.

On May 21, 2015, the Registrant closed on one self storage facility located in Michigan, representing the sixth phase (the “Sixth Phase”) of the acquisition of the 26 Property Portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $3.9 million, plus closing costs and acquisition fees, which was funded with the application of a portion of the earnest money deposit in connection with the 26 Property Portfolio. The Registrant incurred acquisition fees of approximately $70,000 in connection with the Sixth Phase of the acquisition of the 26 Property Portfolio. The property acquired in the Sixth Phase consists of approximately 460 units and approximately 57,900 net rentable square feet of storage space. The average physical occupancy of the property acquired in the Sixth Phase was approximately 84% as of the date of acquisition.

A summary of the property acquired in the Sixth Phase of the 26 Property Portfolio is as follows:
