Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT is a non-traded Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that closed its initial public offering on November 20, 2012. On October 01, 2020 Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II shareholders approved the merger into Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT. This REIT was designed to capitalize on the dislocation, lack of liquidity, and government intervention that exists in the commercial real estate markets by acquiring a diverse portfolio of opportunistic investments in discounted debt and distressed equity assets. The goal of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT is to provide stockholders attractive total returns through the purchase of non-performing loans at favorable prices and real estate from distressed sellers who are unable to come up with the capital to re-size maturing loans in the face of a reduced capital supply and tighter lending standards.
(1) Shares of Strategic Opportunity REIT are subject to risks. These risks may include changes in real estate value and other investments, changes in tax laws, impacts of COVID-19 or other pandemics, lack of liquidity due to no public market. See filings with the SEC for more information.

* On December 7, 2017, the REIT’s board of directors authorized the Special Dividend of $3.61 per share of common stock payable in either shares of the REIT’s common stock or cash to, and at the election of, the stockholders of record as of December 7, 2017 (the “Record Date”). The Special Dividend was paid on January 17, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date. If stockholders elected all cash, their election was subject to adjustment such that the aggregate amount of cash distributed by the REIT was a maximum of 20% of the total Special Dividend (the “Maximum Cash Distribution”), with the remainder paid in shares of common stock. The aggregate amount of cash paid by the REIT pursuant to the Special Dividend and the actual number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Special Dividend depended upon the number of stockholders who elected cash or stock and whether the Maximum Cash Distribution was met. Accordingly, on January 17, 2018, the REIT paid $37.6 million (20%) in cash and issued $150.3 million (80%) in stock pursuant to the Special Dividend.
Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT’s organizational documents do not restrict it from paying distributions from any source and do not restrict the amount of distributions it may pay from any source, including offering proceeds or borrowings. Distributions paid from sources other than current or accumulated earnings and profits may constitute a return of capital. A return of capital would reduce the amount the REIT would have for investment, which could reduce an investor’s return on their investment and subsequent investors will experience dilution. There are no guarantees Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT will continue to pay distributions or pay them at rates similar to those referenced above.
