As described under Item 5.07 below, on October 1, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Merger (as defined herein) contemplated by the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting (as defined below).
On October 5, 2020, the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as an indirect subsidiary of POSOR I (the “Merger”). At such time, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act, the separate existence of the Company ceased.
At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (or a fraction thereof), $0.01 par value per share (the “POSOR II Common Stock”), converted into 0.9643 shares of POSOR I’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “POSOR I Common Stock”).
The combined company after the Merger retains the name “Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.” The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A copy of the Articles of Amendment is included as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On October 1, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which its stockholders were asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to approve the Merger (the “Merger Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to approve the amendment of the charter of the Company to remove the provisions related to “Roll-Up Transactions” in connection with the Merger (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Merger Proposal and/or the Charter Amendment Proposal if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal and/or the Charter Amendment Proposal, if necessary and as determined by the chair of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The Company previously filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and related materials pertaining to the Special Meeting, which describe in detail each of the proposals submitted to the Company’s stockholders to be voted on at the Special Meeting.
