On December 17, 2018, a subsidiary of Strategic Storage Trust IV, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unaffiliated third party (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the acquisition of a self storage facility located in Newark, New Jersey (the “Property”). The information in this Item 1.01 description is qualified in its entirety by the full Purchase Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The Property is a self storage facility that contains approximately 101,600 net rentable square feet of storage space and 1,900 rental units, as well as warehouse space of approximately 60,000 square feet. The purchase price for the Property is $31 million, plus closing and acquisition costs. The Registrant expects the acquisition of the Property to close in the first quarter of 2019 and expects to fund such acquisition with a combination of net proceeds from the Registrant’s initial public offering and potential future debt financing.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Registrant will be obligated to purchase the Property only after satisfactory completion of agreed upon closing conditions. The Registrant will decide whether to acquire the Property generally based upon:

There can be no assurance that the Registrant will complete the acquisition of the Property. In some circumstances, if the Registrant fails to complete the acquisition, it may forfeit up to approximately $500,000 in earnest money on the Property.

Other properties may be identified in the future that the Registrant may acquire prior to or instead of the Property. Due to the considerable conditions to the consummation of the acquisition of the Property, the Registrant cannot make any assurances that the closing of the Property is probable.
