Final Distributions Declared

On December 23, 2019, the board of trust managers (the “Board”) of Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I (“REIT I”) declared a distribution (the “Distribution”) of $0.00203804 per share per day during the period from October 1, 2019 to the later of (i) December 31, 2019 or (ii) the day that immediately precedes any effectiveness date (the “Merger Date”) of the transactions described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 19, 2019, by and among REIT I, RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc., Rich Uncles NNN REIT Operating Partnership and Katana Merger Sub, LP (the “Merger”). Shareholders of record of REIT I’s outstanding common stock on the close of business on the later of (i) December 31, 2019 or (ii) the day that immediately precedes any Merger Date shall be entitled to receive the Distribution, which REIT I expects to pay on December 31, 2019 or any such later Merger Date. The Distribution represents aggregate per day distributions from October 1, 2019 to the day that immediately precedes any Merger Date and, therefore, reflects an annualized distribution of $0.75 per share, which remains unchanged from prior distributions.

On December 23, 2019, the Board updated REIT I’s net asset value per share to equal the $10.16 value of the Merger consideration and opened the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to allow shareholders to reinvest their final distribution in REIT I shares and therefore receive additional shares of RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc.’s Class C common stock as consideration upon closing of the Merger.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than historical facts, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). REIT I intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and other applicable law. Such statements include, in particular, statements about the occurrence of the Merger Date, the exact timing of which remains uncertain, and the payment date of the Distribution. Therefore, such statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond REIT I’s control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “can,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words.

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in REIT I’s other filings with the SEC. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s view only as of the date this Current Report on Form 8-K is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. REIT I makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained hereunder. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, REIT I undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
