August 1, 2020 Transaction Price – Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Share Redemption Program

Per the terms of the distribution reinvestment plan of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or "Hines Global"), distributions issued to participants in the plan will be reinvested in additional shares of the class of the Company’s common stock to which such distributions relate at a price equal to the transaction price applicable to such class of common shares on the date the shares are issued. In addition, subject to the limitations of and restrictions on the Company’s share redemption program, and subject to funds being available as described in the program, shares redeemed under the Company’s share redemption program will be redeemed at a price equal to the transaction price applicable to such class of common shares at the time the shares are redeemed; provided, that, shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95% of the transaction price (unless such 5% holding discount is waived under the limited circumstances described in the Company’s share redemption program).

Set forth below is the transaction price for each class of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2020, which is the transaction price (i) at which distributions declared for July 2020 will be reinvested as of the first business day of August 2020 and (ii) applicable to redemptions completed pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program as of July 31, 2020:

The transaction price for each of the Company's share classes is equal to such class’s net asset value ("NAV") per share as of June 30, 2020. The NAV per share as of June 30, 2020 is the same for each of the Company's share classes. A description of the calculation of the NAV per share is set forth below.

June 30, 2020 NAV Per Share

The Company's board of directors has appointed a valuation committee comprised of independent directors, which we refer to herein as the valuation committee, to be responsible for the oversight of the valuation process. The valuation committee has adopted a valuation policy, as approved by the Company's board of directors, and as amended from time to time, that contains a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of the Company's NAV which is more fully described below. The Company's most recent NAV per share for each share class, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on the Company's website at https://www.hinessecurities.com/current-offerings/hgit/ and is also available on the Company's toll-free information line at (888) 220-6121. Please see the Company's valuation policy, incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, for a more detailed description of the Company’s valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding interim real property valuations provided by Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP, the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") and reviewed by Altus Group U.S., Inc., or Altus, the independent valuation firm the Company has engaged to prepare appraisal reviews and carry out a review of the calculation of the NAV for the Company. All parties engaged by the Company in the calculation of its NAV, including its Advisor, are subject to the oversight of the Company's valuation committee. Generally, all of the Company's real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third party appraisal firms in accordance with the Company's valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by Altus. Altus reviewed the calculation of the new NAV per share of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2020, as set forth below, and concurred with the calculation of the new NAV per share.















The table below sets forth the calculation of the Company's NAV per share of each class of shares of its common stock as of June 30, 2020 and May 31, 2020 (the NAV per share is the same for each class of shares of the Company's common stock):

As previously disclosed, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. While it is difficult to ascertain the long term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and our investments, it presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the current and future performance and value of our investments. Investments in real properties and real estate-related securities have not been immune to the impact of the pandemic. However, we have invested in well leased, high-quality assets using modest leverage in markets positioned for value retention and resiliency and we believe our globally diversified fund is well-situated to weather this challenge.

Hines Global’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 includes a liability of $27.2 million related to distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to Hines Securities, Inc. (the "Dealer Manager") in future periods with respect to shares of its common stock. The NAV per share as of June 30, 2020 does not include any liability for distribution and stockholder servicing fees that may become payable after June 30, 2020, since these fees may not ultimately be paid in certain circumstances, including if Hines Global was liquidated or if there was a listing of its common stock.

The valuations of the Company's real properties as of June 30, 2020 were reviewed by Altus in accordance with the Company's valuation procedures. Certain key assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow analysis, which were determined by the Advisor, and reviewed by Altus, are set forth in the following table based on weighted-averages by property type. However, the table below excludes assumptions related to properties acquired in the past 12 months since the acquisition cost of these properties will serve as their value for a period of up to one year following their acquisition, in accordance with our valuation policy.

These distributions will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for stockholders participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Distributions reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will be reinvested in shares of the same class of shares as the shares on which the distributions are being made.  Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
