Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes certain statements that may be deemed 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”). Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, economic conditions that may impact our operations, our ability to effectively liquidate our assets and pay liquidating distributions to our investors in the expected time frame or at all, our future leverage and financial position, our future capital expenditures, future distributions, other developments and trends in the commercial real estate industry and our business strategy. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are based on our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to our investors and maintain the value of the real estate properties in which we hold an interest, may be significantly hindered.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:

— ~~Whether we will be able to complete the sale of all or substantially all of our assets as expected; —~~ Unanticipated difficulties, expenditures or delays relating to our implementation of our plan of liquidation and dissolution, which may reduce or delay our payment of additional liquidating distributions to our investors; — Risks associated with ~~the potential response of tenants, business partners and competitors to our adoption and implementation of our plan of liquidation and dissolution; — Risks associated with~~ legal proceedings that may be instituted against us and others related to the plan of liquidation; — Competition for tenants, including competition with affiliates of Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”); — Our reliance on Hines Global REIT Advisors LP (the “Advisor”), Hines and affiliates of Hines for our day-to-day operations and the management and disposition of our remaining real estate investments, and our advisor’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide service at a level acceptable to us; — Risks associated with conflicts of interest that result from our relationship with our Advisor and Hines, as well as conflicts of interests certain of our officers and directors face relating to the positions they hold with other entities; — The potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs or other capital expenditures, as well as increases in property operating expenses and costs of compliance with environmental matters or discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties; — The amount and timing of additional liquidating distributions we may pay is uncertain and cannot be assured; — Risks associated with debt and our ability to secure or maintain compliance with covenants associated with financing; — Risks associated with adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including pandemics such as COVID-19 (more commonly referred to as the Coronavirus), terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, which may negatively affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate; — Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks; and our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates; — The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to fund our operating expenses and other capital expenditures; and — Changes in governmental, ~~tax, real estate~~ and ~~zoning~~tax laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance and increases in our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company; — International investment risks, including the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and the uncertainty of such laws, the tax treatment of transaction structures, political and economic instability, foreign currency fluctuations, and inflation and governmental measures to curb inflation may adversely affect our operations and our ability to successfully dispose of our two remaining international assets; and — The lack of liquidity associated with our assets.

These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in light of, all of the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report.

Our investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement in this Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Form 10-K, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Form 10-K may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Form 10-K will be achieved.

Item 1. Business

General Description of Business and Operations

Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Laws on December 10, 2008, primarily for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally. Hines Global raised the equity capital for its real estate investments through two public offerings from August 2009 through April 2014, and through its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP Offering”) from April 2014 through August 2018. Collectively, through its public offerings, Hines Global raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $3.1 billion, including the DRP Offering, all of which was invested in the Company’s real estate portfolio.

We invested the proceeds from our public offerings into a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. At the peak of our acquisition phase, we owned interests in 45 properties. In recent years, we have concentrated our efforts on actively managing our assets and exploring a variety of strategic opportunities focused on enhancing the composition of our portfolio and its total return potential for its investors. On April 23, 2018, in connection with its review of potential strategic alternatives available to the Company, our board of directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its investors to sell all or substantially all of our properties and assets and for the Company to liquidate and dissolve pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”). The principal purpose of the liquidation is to provide liquidity to our investors by selling the Company’s assets, making payments on property and corporate level debt, and distributing the net proceeds from liquidation to our investors. As required by Maryland law and our charter, the Plan of Liquidation was approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on July 17, 2018.

While we anticipated the completion of the sale of all the Company’s assets by July 17, 2020, which is the 24-month period imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for execution of the Plan, the economic disruption and uncertainty resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic have had a significant impact on the process and timing of the Plan’s completion. On June 30, 2020, Hines Global and the Trustees identified below entered into an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Liquidating Trust Agreement”) in connection with the formation of HGR Liquidating Trust, a Maryland statutory trust (the “Liquidating Trust” or the “Trust”). The purpose of the Trust is to complete the liquidation of Hines Global’s assets in accordance with the ~~its~~ plan of liquidation and dissolution (the “Plan”) that was previously approved by Hines Global’s stockholders in July 2018. The trustees of the Trust consist of certain members of Hines Global’s board of directors: Jeffrey C. Hines, Charles M. Baughn, Jack L. Farley, Thomas L. Mitchell, John S. Moody and Peter Shaper; and David L. Steinbach, the Company’s Chief Investment Officer (collectively, the “Trustees”). Pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Trust and received units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the “Units”) equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on June 30, 2020. Immediately thereafter, the Company distributed the Units pro rata to its stockholders such that one Unit was distributed for each share of the Company’s common stock and all stockholders of the Company are now unitholders and beneficiaries of the Trust.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides that the Trust will terminate upon the earliest of (a) such time as termination is required by the applicable laws of the State of Maryland, (b) the determination of the Board to terminate the Trust following the distribution of all its assets in accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement, or (c) the expiration of a period of three years from June 30, 2020. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may continue the existence of the Trust beyond the three-year term if the Board in its reasonable discretion determines that an extension is necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Trust, provided that the Board has requested and obtained no-action assurance from the SEC regarding relief from registration and reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) prior to any such extension.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement further provides that the Board has the discretion to make distributions of available cash to the investors as and when they deem such distributions to be in the best interests of the investors, taking into account the administrative costs of making such distributions, anticipated costs and expenses of the Trust and such other factors as they may consider appropriate.

All references to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns herein mean Hines Global REIT, Inc. for periods prior to June 30, 2020, when Hines Global REIT, Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HGR Liquidating Trust, and mean HGR Liquidating Trust for periods subsequent thereto. All references to “the Trust” mean HGR Liquidating Trust. In addition, all references to "investors" mean the stockholders of Hines Global for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the ~~unitholders of the Trust for periods subsequent thereto. Similarly,~~

unitholders of the Trust for periods subsequent thereto. Similarly, all references to the "Board" mean the board of directors of Hines Global for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the board of trustees of the Trust for periods subsequent thereto.

We sold interests in 3539 of properties with an aggregate sale price of $5.04 billion from 2017 through ~~2020~~2021. AsWe owned one property, Minneapolis Retail Center, as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021.

Additionally, we sold our final remaining property on March 10, 2022, and declared and paid a special distribution of $0.62 per Unit in March 2022. The per Unit NAV was reduced to $0.04 as of March 17, 2022, following this distribution. See Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for additional information related to our NAV.

General Business Information

We conduct most of our activities through, and most of our real estate investments ~~are~~were held directly or indirectly by, Hines Global REIT Properties, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed on January 7, 2009. Hines Global contributed the proceeds it received from the issuance of common shares to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership in turn issued general partner interests to Hines Global. The Trust became the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership on June 30, 2020 in connection with the transfer of all of Hines Global’s assets and liabilities to the Trust. The general partner interests entitle HGR Liquidating Trust to receive its share of the Operating Partnership’s earnings or losses and distributions of cash flow.

We have no employees. Our business is managed by our Advisor, an affiliate of our sponsor, Hines, under the terms and conditions of an advisory agreement between us, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor , effective as of June 30, 2020 (the “Advisory Agreement”). From January 1, 2020 until June 30, 2020, Hines Global, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor were parties to an advisory agreement (the "Prior Advisory Agreement"), pursuant to which the Advisor managed Hines Global's day-to-day operations in substantially the same manner that the Advisor now manages the Trust's day-to-day operations. As compensation for these services, we pay or have paid the Advisor fees and we reimburse certain of the Advisor’s expenses incurred on our behalf in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. Hines or affiliates of Hines ~~manage~~managed the leasing and operations of most of the properties in which we ~~invest~~invested and, accordingly, we ~~pay~~paid property management and leasing fees in connection with these services. Hines is owned and controlled by, or for the benefit, of Jeffrey C. Hines, the Chairman of our Board. Hines and its 4,~~800~~850 employees have over 60 years of experience in the areas of investment selection, underwriting, due diligence, portfolio management, asset management, property management, leasing, disposition, finance, accounting and investor relations.

Our office is located at 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 5000, Houston, Texas 77056-6118. Our telephone number is 1-888-220-6121. Our web site is www.HinesSecurities.com/HGRLiquidatingTrust. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

Distribution Objectives

We declared distributions of $0.70 per share, per year for the period from October 2009 through December 2011 and $0.65 per share, per year from January 2012 through December 2018, totaling $6.09 per share in aggregate. Approximately $0.45 per share of these distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2018 were designated as a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital as described further below. Additionally, we have declared special distributions and/or liquidating distributions to date totaling $79.0002 per share, each of which is described further below. In aggregate, we have paid total distributions of $1315.0911 per share to our investors from the inception of our fund to date.

From 2018 through ~~2020~~March 2022, we paid aggregate return of capital distributions or liquidating distributions to investors totaling approximately $79.4547 per share, which represented a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital. These distributions reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company and were made up of the following:

•a $1.05 per share special distribution declared to all investors of record as of December 30, 2017 and paid in January 2018. The special distribution was funded with a portion of the net proceeds received from the strategic sale of six assets during 2017.

•$0.12 per share resulting from a portion of the monthly distributions declared for the months of January 2018 through June 2018, (approximately $0.02 per share, per month), which were designated by our Board as a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital and, as such, reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company.

•Approximately $0.33 per share resulting from the monthly liquidating distributions declared for the months of July 2018 through December 2018 (approximately $0.0541667 per share, per month), which reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company.

•a $2.50 per share liquidating distribution declared to all investors of record as of February 13, 2019 and paid in February 2019.

•a $1.00 per ~~unit~~Unit liquidating distribution declared to all investors of record as of July 15, 2020 and paid in July 2020.

•a $2.45 per ~~unit~~Unit special distribution declared to all investors of record as of September 14, 2020 and paid in September 2020.

•a $0.80 per Unit special distribution declared to all investors of record as of September 29, 2021 and paid in September 2021.

•a $0.60 per Unit special distribution declared to all investors of record as of January 12, 2022, and paid in January 2022.

•a $0.62 per Unit special distribution declared to all investors of record as of March 17, 2022, and paid on or around March 22, 2022.

Tax Status

The Liquidating Trust is intended to qualify as a “liquidating trust” for federal income tax purposes that is treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes and accordingly, is not subject to federal income tax on any income earned or gain recognized by it. The Liquidating Trust may recognize taxable income or loss, as the case may be, from the operation of the properties prior to their disposition, and taxable gain or loss as and when its assets are disposed of for an amount greater or less than the fair market value of such assets at the time of the initial distribution of the Units in the Liquidating Trust on June 30, 2020. Our beneficiaries will be treated as the owners of a pro rata portion of each remaining asset, including cash, received by and held by us and will be required to report on their federal and state income tax return their pro rata share of taxable income, including gains and losses recognized by the Liquidating Trust.

The Trustees will provide to each holder of Units after each year end a detailed itemized statement that reports on a per unit basis the holder’s allocable share of all the various categories of revenue and expense of the Liquidating Trust for the year. Each holder of Units is urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the filing requirements and the appropriate tax reporting of this information on their tax returns.

Competition

Numerous real estate companies, real estate investment trusts and U.S. institutional and foreign investors compete with us in obtaining creditworthy tenants to occupy our properties, including, but not limited to, Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Global Income Trust”), and other real estate investment vehicles sponsored by Hines. Many of these entities have significant financial and other resources, allowing them to compete effectively with us. Principal factors of competition include leasing terms (including rent and other charges and allowances for inducements and tenant improvements), the quality and breadth of tenant services provided, and reputation as an owner and operator of commercial real estate investments in the relevant market. Additionally, our ability to compete depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants, availability and cost of capital, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and demographic trends.

Tenants

We are dependent upon the ability of current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as the rents become due. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we did not earn more than 10% of total rental revenues from any individual tenant.

Available Information

Investors may obtain copies of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), free of charge from the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or from our website at ~~https://~~www.~~hinessecurities~~HinesSecurities.com/~~hgrliquidatingtrust~~HGRLiquidatingTrust. Further, a copy of ~~this~~our ~~Our~~ filings will be available on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such materials with the SEC. However, the information from our website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully read and consider the risks described below together with all other information in this report. If certain of the following risks actually occur, our results of operations and ability to pay additional liquidating distributions would likely suffer materially, or could be eliminated entirely. ~~As a result, the value of our common shares may decline, and our investors could lose all or part of the money they paid to buy our common shares.~~

Risks Related to the Liquidation of the ~~Company~~Trust

There can be no assurances concerning the prices at which our properties will be sold or the timing of such sales.

We cannot give any assurances as to the prices at which any of our properties ultimately will be sold, or the timing of such sales. Real estate market values are constantly changing and fluctuate with changes in interest rates, availability of financing, changes in general economic conditions and real estate tax rates, competition in the real estate market, the availability of suitable buyers, the perceived quality, consistency and dependability of income flows from tenancies and a number of other local, regional and national factors. In addition, environmental contamination, potential major repairs which are not presently contemplated, increased operating costs or other unknown liabilities, including in connection with non-compliance with applicable laws, if any, at the Company’s properties may adversely impact the sales price of those assets. As a result, the actual prices at which we are able to sell our properties may be lower than the amounts we have assumed for purposes of determining the new per unit NAV as of December 31, 2020, which would result in the amount of additional distributions being lower than such per unit NAV. The amount available for distributions may also be reduced if the expenses we incur in selling our properties are greater than anticipated. When we commenced the Plan of Liquidation, we assumed that we will be able to find buyers for all of our assets at amounts based on our estimated range of market values for each property. However, for a variety of reasons, some of which are outside of our control, we overestimated the sales prices that we will ultimately be able to obtain for certain of these assets. For example, in order to find buyers in a timely manner, we may be required to lower our asking price below the low end of our current estimate of the property’s market value. If we are not able to find buyers for these assets in a timely manner or if we have overestimated the sales prices we will receive, additional distributions to our investors would be delayed or reduced. We can provide no assurances regarding the amount of the aggregate distributions that will ultimately be paid to our investors in connection with the execution of the Plan of Liquidation.

If we are unable to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and lease currently available space, if tenants default under their leases or other obligations to us during the liquidation process or if our cash flow during the liquidation is otherwise less than we expect, additional distributions to our investors may be delayed or reduced.

The inability of a single major tenant or a number of smaller tenants to meet their rental obligations would adversely affect our income. Tenants may have the right to terminate their leases upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default and, in other circumstances, may not renew their leases or, because of market conditions, may be able to renew their leases on terms that are less favorable to us than the terms of the current leases. The COVID-19 (more commonly known as the Coronavirus) pandemic has caused significant economic uncertainty and disruption, which could negatively impact the financial condition of one or more of our tenants. It has adversely impacted many of our retail tenants (other than grocery tenants), as government instructions regarding social distancing and mandated closures reduced and, in some cases, eliminated customer foot traffic for several months during 2020, causing many of our retail tenants to temporarily close their brick and mortar stores. The weakening of the financial condition of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants and vacancies caused by defaults of tenants or the expiration of leases, may adversely affect the liquidation. Some of our properties are leased to significant tenants and, accordingly, may be suited to the particular or unique needs of such tenants. We may have difficulty replacing such a tenant if the floor plan of the vacant space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

To the extent that we receive less rental income than we expect during the liquidation process, or have difficulty selling certain of our properties due to such reduced rental income, additional distributions to investors will be reduced.

If any of the parties to our sale agreements breach such agreements or default thereunder, or if the sales do not otherwise close, additional distributions may be delayed or reduced.

We will seek to enter into binding sale agreements for our properties. The consummation of the potential sales will be subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. When the transactions contemplated by these sale agreements do not close because of a buyer breach or default, failure of a closing condition or for any other reason, such as a potential buyer walking away as a result of the economic uncertainty and disruption created by the Coronavirus pandemic, we need to locate a new buyer for the

assets, which we may be unable to do promptly or at prices or on terms that are as favorable as the original sale agreement. We will also incur additional costs involved in locating a new buyer and negotiating a new sale agreement for the assets. These additional costs may exceed amounts included in our projections. In the event that we incur these additional costs, additional distributions to our investors could be delayed or reduced.

We cannot determine the timing or amount of additional distributions to our investors because there are many factors, some of which are outside of our control, which could affect our ability to make such distributions.

Although we have paid distributions to our investors in connection with the Plan of Liquidation, we cannot determine the timing or amount of additional distributions to our investors at this time. These distributions will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the length of time it takes to fully implement the Plan of Liquidation, the ~~price and timing of transactions entered into in the future, the~~ cost of operating the Trust through the date of our final dissolution, general business and economic conditions, and other matters. In addition, before making the final distribution, we will need to pay or arrange for the payment of all of our transaction costs in the liquidation, all other costs and all valid claims of our creditors. Our Board may also decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us, for which we would pay a premium which has not yet been determined. Our Board may also decide to provide for any unknown and outstanding liabilities and expenses, which may include the establishment of a reserve fund to pay contingent liabilities and ongoing expenses in an amount to be determined as information concerning such contingencies and expenses becomes available. The amount of transaction costs in the liquidation is not yet final, ~~including prepayment penalties with respect to indebtedness on the properties,~~ so we have used estimates of these costs in calculating the amounts of our originally projected aggregate distributions. To the extent that we have underestimated these costs, additional distributions ~~may~~will likely be lower than our most recently determined NAV. In addition, if the claims of our creditors are greater than what we have anticipated or if we decide to acquire one or more insurance policies covering unknown or contingent claims against us, our final distribution may be delayed or reduced. Further, if a reserve fund is established to pay contingent liabilities, payment of additional distributions to our investors may be delayed or reduced.

The sales of our assets pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation will not be subject to further investor approval.

Following the approval of the Plan of Liquidation by our investors in July 2018, our Board has the authority to sell any and all of the Company’s assets on such terms and to such parties, including affiliated parties, as our Board determines appropriate, even if such terms are less favorable than those assumed for the purposes of estimating our range of additional distributions in connection with our Plan of Liquidation. Notably, our investors will have no subsequent opportunity to vote on such matters and will, therefore, have no right to approve or disapprove the terms of such sales.

There can be no assurances regarding the aggregate amount of distributions you will ultimately receive in connection with the Plan of Distribution, including the timing of any additional distributions. Your total return will depend on the amount you paid for your investment, the date on which you made your investment, and our ability to effectively complete the Plan of Liquidation. Investors should consult their financial advisors for more information about their potential total return.

If there are any lawsuits in connection with the Plan of Liquidation, it may be costly and may prevent the Plan of Liquidation from being completed or from being completed within the expected timeframe.

Our investors may file lawsuits challenging the Plan of Liquidation, which may name the ~~Company~~Trust or our Board as defendants. As of the date of this report, no such lawsuits challenging the Plan of Liquidation are pending, or to our knowledge, threatened. However, if such a lawsuit is filed, we cannot assure you as to the outcome of any such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending any such claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with such claims. If any plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting us from completing the Plan of Liquidation, such an injunction may delay the ~~Plan~~completion of ~~Liquidation~~the orPlan ~~prevent~~of ~~it from being completed~~Liquidation. Whether or not any plaintiff’s claim is successful, this type of litigation often results in significant costs and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business and reduce the funds available for additional distributions to our investors.

Investors may be liable to our creditors for the amount received from us if our reserve fund or the assets remaining in the ~~Liquidating~~ Trust are inadequate.

Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, we intend to ~~dispose of our assets,~~ discharge our liabilities, ~~and~~ distribute to our investors any remaining assets and complete our wind-down as soon as practicable. In the event that it should not be feasible, in the opinion of our Board, for the Trust to pay, or adequately provide for, all of our debts and liabilities, or if our Board shall determine it is advisable, our Board may establish a reserve fund or retain certain assets in the Liquidating Trust.

Any reserve fund or assets remaining in the Liquidating Trust may not be adequate to cover any contingent expenses and liabilities. Under Maryland law, if we make distributions and fail to maintain an adequate reserve fund or fail to retain adequate assets in the Liquidating Trust for payment of our contingent expenses and liabilities, each investor could be held liable for payment to our creditors of such amounts owed to creditors which we fail to pay. The liability of any investor would be limited to the amount of distributions previously received by such investor from us in connection with the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly, in such event, an investor could be required to return all such distributions received from us. On December 31, 2021, the Trust had outstanding liabilities of approximately $31.7 million. Most of these obligations were paid prior to March 11, 2022 and the rest are expected to be paid in full prior to our wind-down. We will continuously monitor expenses and any other foreseeable liabilities we may incur as we complete the Plan of Liquidation in the coming months in order to seek to ensure that an adequate reserve fund is maintained or adequate assets are retained in the Liquidating Trust to discharge these liabilities in full.

Accordingly, in such event, an investor could be required to return all such distributions received from us. On December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding liabilities of approximately $127.9 million, of which approximately $65.7 million consisted of loans secured by properties we owned. All of these obligations are expected to be paid in full in connection with the sales of our properties. We will continuously monitor expenses and any other foreseeable liabilities we may incur in implementing the Plan of Liquidation to seek to ensure that an adequate reserve fund is maintained or adequate assets are retained in the Liquidating Trust to discharge these liabilities in full.5

Risks Related to ~~Our~~Adverse ~~Business~~Changes in General Economic Conditions

A prolonged national or world-wide economic downturn or volatile capital market conditions could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our investors.

If prolonged disruptions in the capital and credit markets continue for a prolonged period, they could adversely affect our ability to obtain loans, credit facilities, debt financing and other financing, or, when available, to obtain such financing on reasonable terms, which could negatively impact our ability to execute our Plan of Liquidation in a manner that is accretive to our investors. See “[t]he ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread have disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain” for a further discussion of the risks related to Coronavirus pandemic and its potential impact on our financial results and the completion of our Plan of Liquidation.

If these disruptions in the capital and credit markets should continue as a result of, among other factors, uncertainty and disruption caused by the impact of the Coronavirus, changing regulation, changes in trade agreements, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions, our access to liquidity could be significantly impacted. Prolonged disruptions could result in us selling our remaining assets at lower than expected prices, which could reduce or eliminate the additional distributions we make to our investors.

We believe the risks associated with our business are more severe during periods of economic downturn if these periods are accompanied by declining values in real estate. For example, a prolonged economic downturn could negatively impact our property investments as a result of increased customer delinquencies and/or defaults under our leases, generally lower demand for rentable space, potential oversupply of rentable space leading to increased concessions, and/or customer improvement expenditures, or reduced rental rates to maintain occupancies.

Our operations could be negatively affected to a greater extent if an economic downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe, which could significantly harm our revenues, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and our ability to make distributions to our investors and may result in a decrease in the value of our investors’ investment.

The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread have disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain.

The Coronavirus pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on overall market conditions and our disposition process. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including in Poland and Russia and in the states across the U.S. where our assets are located, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. While operations in certain areas have been allowed to fully or partially re-open, some areas, including Poland, are experiencing new closures or restrictions subsequent to re-opening due to rising numbers of new cases, and no assurance can be given that such closures or restrictions will not continue to occur. These restrictions have significantly disrupted business activity globally, and could have an adverse impact on the performance of certain of our investments, as well as the timing of the disposition of our remaining assets. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the Coronavirus and its potential effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level by government authorities and businesses.

While it is difficult to ascertain the long-term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and the successful disposition of our remaining assets, the pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the current and future performance and value of our investments. Our remaining real property investments have been impacted by the pandemic and in some cases significantly. Our tenants operate in industries which are being adversely affected by the disruption to business

caused by the outbreak of the Coronavirus. From time to time during the pandemic, many of our tenants have been subject to shelter in place and other quarantine restrictions, and the restrictions were in place for an extended period of time in some cases. These restrictions have had a particularly adverse impact on our retail tenants (other than grocery tenants), as government instructions regarding social distancing and mandated closures have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated customer foot traffic, causing some of our retail tenants to temporarily close their brick and mortar stores. As of December 31, 2020, we owned three retail properties in the U.S., which comprised approximately 75% of our remaining portfolio (based on the estimated value of each real estate investment as of December 31, 2020). While rent collections were adversely affected in the early months of the pandemic, consumer traffic at these properties has recovered to near pre-pandemic levels in recent months and rent collections recovered to 99% of billed rent by the end of the year ended December 31, 2020. However, rising infection rates and the potential for additional government mandated shutdowns could reduce consumer traffic at our retail properties and negatively impact future rent collections and our ability to dispose of these properties at the time and at the price that we believe is appropriate.

The Coronavirus pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. We cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of borrowings, renewals or refinancings.

The extent of the Coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the timing and success of our disposition process will depend on future developments, including the duration and lingering impact of the pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and speed of their distribution, continued resurgences in Coronavirus cases, and the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business or our disposition process, but any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, as well as the timing and amount of additional distributions to our investors.

Yields on and safety of deposits may be lower if there are to extensive declines in the financial markets.

We may hold funds in investments, including money market funds, bank money market accounts and CDs or other accounts at third-party depository institutions. Unusual declines in the financial markets similar to those experienced during the Great Recession, could result in a loss of some or all of these funds. In particular, money market funds may experience intense redemption pressure inat such ~~years~~times and have difficulty satisfying redemption requests. As a result, we may not be able to access the cash in our money market investments. In addition, current yields from these investments are minimal.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only insures amounts up to $250,000 per depositor. It is likely that we will have cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we deposit funds ultimately fails, we may lose any amount of our deposits over federally insured levels. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute ~~or invest~~ and could ~~result~~reduce ~~in a decline in~~ the ~~value~~amount of ~~our~~additional ~~investors’~~distributions ~~investments~~to investors.

From time to time, we may have a substantial amount of indebtedness. In the event we do not repay or refinance such indebtedness, we could face substantial liquidity issues and the lenders will be able to accelerate the debt and foreclose on the assets securing them, which will materially and adversely affect our ability to make liquidating distributions to our investors.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $65.7 million of outstanding indebtedness, all of which is scheduled to mature within a year and which, upon final maturity, we will need to refinance or repay. In evaluating our current and projected sources of liquidity to meet the obligations of such debt, we have assessed our available options and have determined that our plan is to refinance these loans or to repay such obligations with proceeds from the sale of assets pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and available cash on hand. If we are unable to pay our debt at maturity, the lenders will be able to accelerate the debt and foreclose on the assets securing them, which will materially and adversely affect our ability to make additional distributions to our investors. See Note 4 — Debt Financing for additional information regarding our outstanding debt.

Economic conditions and the credit markets have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, periods of volatility, uncertainty, or weakness that could impact the availability or cost of debt financing.

If we are unable to repay or refinance our debt, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to generate enough cash flows from operations or that we will be able to obtain enough capital to service our debt, fund our planned capital expenditures or pay future distributions at expected levels or at all. In such an event, we could face substantial liquidity issues and might be required to sell some of our assets to meet our debt payment obligations. Failure to repay or refinance indebtedness when required could result in a default under such indebtedness. If we incur additional indebtedness, any such indebtedness could exacerbate the risks described above.

The phase-out of LIBOR and transition to SOFR as a benchmark interest rate could have adverse effects on our business.

In July 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”), announced their intention to cease sustaining LIBOR after 2021. The FCA has statutory powers to require panel banks to contribute to LIBOR where necessary. The FCA has decided not to ask, or to require, that panel banks continue to submit contributions to LIBOR beyond the end of 2021. The administrator of LIBOR has announced it will consult on its intention to cease the publication of the one week and two month LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The U.S. Federal Reserve System, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have issued guidance encouraging market participants to adopt alternatives to LIBOR in new contracts as soon as practicable and no later than December 31, 2021, and the FCA has indicated that market participants should not rely on LIBOR being available after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. At this time, it is not possible to predict how markets will respond to SOFR or other alternative reference rates as the transition away from LIBOR is anticipated in coming years.

As of December 31, 2020, 100% of our outstanding debt bore interest at floating rates based on LIBOR. Although the loan has a maturity date prior to December 31, 2021, it provides for procedures for determining a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. The discontinuation or modification of LIBOR could result in interest rate increases on our debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow, operating results and ability to make distributions to our stockholders at expected levels or at all.

Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants that relate to or otherwise limit our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our investors, to replace the Advisor or to otherwise achieve our investment objectives.

When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan agreements we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage property, discontinue insurance coverage, or make distributions under certain circumstances. In addition, provisions of our loan agreements may deter us from replacing the Advisor because of the consequences under such agreements and may limit our ability to replace the property manager or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to the property. These or other limitations may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment objectives.

We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, various financial instruments for purposes of “hedging” or reducing our risks, which may be costly and ineffective and may reduce our cash available for distribution to our investors.

We have, and may continue to enter into foreign currency forward contracts or similar hedging or derivative transactions or arrangements, in order to manage or mitigate our risk of exposure to the effects of currency changes as a result of our international investments. Similarly, we have, and may continue to enter into interest rate swaps and caps, or similar hedging or derivative transactions or arrangements, in order to manage or mitigate our risk of exposure to the effects of interest rate changes due to variable interest rate debt that we may have. No hedging strategy can adequately offset all of our risk related to foreign currency and interest rate volatility and protect us completely from loss. Any of the derivative and other hedging transactions that we have entered into and that we may enter into in the future may not be effective in mitigating risk in all market conditions or against all types of risk (including unidentified or unanticipated risks), thereby resulting in losses to us. Further, engaging in derivative and other hedging transactions may result in a poorer overall performance for us than if we had not engaged in any such transaction, and our Advisor may not be able to effectively hedge against, or accurately anticipate, certain risks that may adversely affect our portfolio.

Our success will be dependent on the performance of Hines as well as key employees of Hines. If any such key employees were to cease to work at Hines, our business could suffer.

Our ability to effectively complete the disposition of our remaining assets and pay additional distributions to investors is dependent upon the performance of Hines and its affiliates, as well as key employees of Hines, in the marketing of our remaining assets, the negotiation of sale agreements, the maintenance of lease and occupancy at our real properties, the determination of any financing arrangements, the management of our assets and the operation of our day-to-day activities. Our Board and the Advisor have broad discretion when managing our investments and determining the timing and terms of any asset dispositions. You will have no opportunity to evaluate the terms of transactions or other economic or financial data concerning our disposition activity. We will rely on the management ability of Hines and the oversight of our Board.

Hines may not be able to retain its key employees. To the extent we are unable to retain and/or find qualified successors for key employees that depart from Hines, our results of operations may be adversely impacted. Our officers and the management of the Advisor also serve in similar capacities for numerous other entities. If Hines or any of its key employees are distracted by these other activities or suffer from adverse financial or operational problems in connection with operations unrelated to us, the ability of Hines and its affiliates to allocate time and/or resources to our operations may be adversely affected. If Hines is unable to allocate sufficient resources to oversee and perform our operations for any reason, our results of operations would be adversely impacted and the completion of our Plan of Liquidation could be delayed. We will not provide key-man life insurance policies for any of Hines’ key employees.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest or war may affect the markets in which we operate our operations and our profitability.

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence, civilian unrest or war may negatively affect our operations and our investors’ investments in our shares. Certain of our real estate investments are located in areas that may be susceptible to attack. In addition, any kind of terrorist activity or violent criminal acts, including terrorist acts against public institutions or buildings or modes of public transportation (including airlines, trains or buses) could have a negative effect on our business. These events may directly impact the value of our assets through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. We may not be able to obtain insurance against the risk of terrorism because it may not be available or may not be available on terms that are economically feasible. Further, even if we do obtain terrorism insurance, we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage to fund any losses we may incur. Risks associated with potential acts of terrorism in the areas in which we own properties could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims and could negatively impact our ability to dispose of a property.

We may be subject to litigation which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We may be subject to litigation, including claims relating to our Plan of Liquidation or operations, offerings, unrecognized pre-acquisition contingencies and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our payment of significant fines or settlements, which, if not insured against, or if these fines and settlements exceed insured levels, would adversely impact our earnings and cash flows. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.

Our business could suffer in the event the Advisor, our transfer agent or any other party that provides us with services essential to our operations experiences system failures or cyber incidents or a deficiency in cybersecurity.

The Advisor, our transfer agent and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information resources. More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that may include, but is not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, steal assets or misappropriate confidential information, such as confidential investor records. As reliance on technology in our industry has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced. In addition, the risk of a cyber incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and instructions from around the world have increased. Affiliates of our Advisor have in the past experienced cyber incidents impacting their information technology systems or relating to software that they utilize, and, while none to date have had an impact on us or our operations, we expect such breaches could to occur in the future.

11The remediation costs and lost revenues experienced by a victim of a cyber incident may be significant and significant resources may be required to repair system damage, protect against the threat of future security breaches or to alleviate problems, including reputational harm, loss of revenues and litigation, caused by any breaches. There also may be liability for any stolen assets or misappropriated confidential information. Any material adverse effect experienced by the Advisor, our transfer agent and other parties that provide us with services essential to our operations could, in turn, interrupt our operations, damage our reputation and brand, damage our competitive position, make it difficult for us to attract and retain tenants, and subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties that could adversely affect our ability to pay additional distributions to investors. While we maintain cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for certain risks arising out of system failures or cyber incidents, there is no assurance that such insurance would cover all or a significant portion of the costs or consequences associated with a cyber incident.

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Geographic concentration of our portfolio may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the real estate markets of those areas.

We have sold 40 of our 45 real estate investments in recent years. Our remaining five properties are each located in separate markets. As a result, our operating results and ability to make distributions may be impacted by economic changes affecting the real estate in those markets. Consequently, our financial condition and ability to dispose of our assets and make additional distributions could be materially and adversely affected by any significant adverse developments in those markets.

Industry concentration of our tenants may make us particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in these industries.

In the event we have a concentration of tenants in a particular industry, our operating results and ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by adverse developments in these industries and we will be subject to a greater risk to the extent that our tenants are not diversified by industry. For example, based on our pro rata share of space leased to tenants as of December 31, 2020, 63% of our space is leased to tenants in the retail industry, 10% is leased to tenants in the hospitality industry, 9% is leased to tenants in the manufacturing industry, and 4% is leased to tenants in other professional services, and 4% is leased to tenants in other services.

We depend on tenants for our revenue, and therefore our revenue is dependent on the success and economic viability of our tenants. Our reliance on single or significant tenants in certain buildings may decrease our ability to lease vacated space.

Rental income from real property constitutes a significant portion of our income. Delays in collecting accounts receivable from tenants could adversely affect our cash flows and financial condition. In addition, the inability of a single major tenant or a number of smaller tenants to meet their rental obligations would adversely affect our income. Therefore, our financial success is indirectly dependent on the success of the businesses operated by the tenants in our properties or in the properties securing loans we may own. Tenants may have the right to terminate their leases upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default and, in other circumstances, may not renew their leases or, because of market conditions, may be able to renew their leases on terms that are less favorable to us than the terms of the current leases. The weakening of the financial condition or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants and vacancies caused by defaults of tenants or the expiration of leases, may adversely affect our operations and our ability to pay distributions.

Generally, under U.S. bankruptcy law, a debtor tenant has 120 days to exercise the option of assuming or rejecting the obligations under any unexpired lease for nonresidential real property, which period may be extended once by the bankruptcy court. If the tenant assumes its lease, the tenant must cure all defaults under the lease and may be required to provide adequate assurance of its future performance under the lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, we will have a claim against the tenant’s bankruptcy estate. Although rent owing for the period between filing for bankruptcy and rejection of the lease may be afforded administrative expense priority and paid in full, pre-bankruptcy arrears and amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be afforded general unsecured claim status (absent collateral securing the claim). Moreover, amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be capped. Other than equity and subordinated claims, general unsecured claims are the last claims paid in a bankruptcy and therefore funds may not be available to pay such claims in full. In addition, while the specifics of the bankruptcy laws of international jurisdictions may differ from the U.S. bankruptcy laws described herein, the bankruptcy

or insolvency of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants at any of the international properties we may acquire, may similarly adversely impact our operations and our ability to pay distributions.

Some of our properties may be leased to a single or significant tenant and, accordingly, may be suited to the particular or unique needs of such tenant. We may have difficulty replacing such a tenant if the floor plan of the vacant space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

We may suffer adverse consequences if our revenues decline, since our operating costs do not necessarily decline in proportion to our revenue.

We earn a significant portion of our income from renting our properties. Our operating costs, however, do not necessarily fluctuate in proportion to changes in our rental revenue. As a result, our costs will not necessarily decline even if our revenues do. Similarly, our operating costs could increase while our revenues stay flat or decline. In either such event, we may be forced to borrow funds to cover our costs, we may incur losses or we may not have cash available to service our debt, all of which could negatively impact the timing and amount of additional distributions to investors.

Due to the risks involved in the ownership of real estate investments, a return on investment is not guaranteed, and our investors may lose some of their investment.

Our investors will be subjected to significant risks associated with owning and operating real estate investments. The performance of and ultimate return they realize on their investment in us will be subject to such risks, including:

•changes in the general economic climate;

•changes in local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reduction in demand for real estate;

•changes in interest rates and the availability of financing;

•changes in property level operating expenses due to inflation or otherwise;

•changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes; and

•changes due to factors that are generally outside of our control, such as pandemics like COVID-19, terrorist attacks and international instability, natural disasters and acts of God, over-building, adverse national, state or local changes in applicable tax, environmental or zoning laws and a taking of any of the properties which we own or in which we otherwise have interests by eminent domain.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, our ability to make additional distributions to our investors and the return realized on their investment.

Our use of borrowings to fund improvements on properties or other cash needs could result in foreclosures and unexpected debt service expenses upon refinancing, both of which could have an adverse impact on our operations and cash flow.

We are relying and intend to continue to rely in part on borrowings under our credit facilities and other external sources of financing to fund the costs of any capital expenditures and other items. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks that our cash flow will not be sufficient to cover required debt service payments and that we will be unable to meet other covenants or requirements in the credit agreements.

If we cannot meet our required debt obligations, the property or properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed upon by, or otherwise transferred to, our lender, with a consequent loss of income and asset value to us. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but we may not receive any cash proceeds. Additionally, we may be required to refinance our debt subject to “lump sum” or “balloon” payment maturities on terms less favorable than the original loan or at a time we would otherwise prefer to not refinance such debt. A refinancing on such terms or at such times could increase our debt service payments, which would decrease the amount of cash we would have available for operations, new investments and distribution payments and may cause us to determine to sell one or more properties at a time when we would not otherwise do so.

Uninsured losses relating to real property may adversely impact the value of our portfolio.

We attempt to ensure that all of our properties are adequately insured to cover casualty losses. However, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, which are uninsurable, are not economically insurable or are only insurable subject to limitations. Examples of such catastrophic events include acts of war or terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and pollution or environmental matters. We may not have adequate coverage in the event we or our buildings suffer casualty losses. If we do not have adequate insurance coverage, the value of our assets will be reduced as the result of, and to the extent of, any such uninsured losses. Additionally, we may not have access to capital resources to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damage to a property.

We operate in a competitive business, and many of our competitors have significant resources and operating flexibility, allowing them to compete effectively with us.

Numerous real estate companies that operate in the markets in which our remaining assets are located will compete with us in obtaining creditworthy tenants to occupy such properties and may make it more difficult to dispose of our properties. Such competition could adversely affect our business. Many of these entities have significant financial and other resources, including operating experience, allowing them to compete effectively with us. In addition, our ability to charge premium rental rates to tenants may be negatively impacted. This increased competition may lower our occupancy rates and the rent we may charge tenants. In addition, the arrival of new competitors in the immediate areas where we have assets could require unplanned investments in our assets, which may adversely affect us and the proceeds realized upon a disposition. We may also have difficulty in renewing leases or in leasing to new tenants, since the proximity of new competitors could divert existing or new tenants to such competitors, resulting in vacancies. This could negatively affect the price we are able to obtain in a disposition of such properties, and, accordingly, additional distributions to investors.

Potential liability as the result of, and the cost of compliance with, environmental matters could adversely affect our operations and ability to pay additional distributions to investors.

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.

We have invested in properties historically used for industrial, manufacturing and commercial purposes. These properties are more likely to contain, or may have contained, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances. All of these operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Leasing properties to tenants that engage in industrial, manufacturing, and commercial activities will cause us to be subject to increased risk of liabilities under environmental laws and regulations. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings.

Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which properties may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Such laws may be amended so as to require compliance with stringent standards which could require us to make unexpected, substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. We may be potentially liable for such costs in connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties in the United States. In addition, we may invest in properties located in countries that have adopted laws or observe environmental management standards that are less stringent than those generally followed in the United States, which may pose a greater risk that releases of hazardous or toxic substances have occurred to the environment. The cost of defending against claims of liability, compliance with environmental regulatory requirements or remediating any contaminated property could be substantial and require a material portion of our cash flow.

Our properties are subject to property taxes that may increase in the future, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Our properties are subject to real and personal property taxes that may increase as property tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. We anticipate that most of our leases will generally provide that the property taxes or increases therein, are charged to the lessees as an expense related to the properties that they occupy. As the owner of the properties, however, we are ultimately responsible for payment of the taxes to the government. If property taxes increase, our tenants may be unable to make the required tax payments, ultimately requiring us to pay the taxes. In addition, we will generally be responsible for property taxes related to any vacant space. If we purchase residential properties, the leases for

such properties typically will not allow us to pass through real estate taxes and other taxes to residents of such properties. Consequently, any tax increases may adversely affect our results of operations at such properties.

Changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a particular area may adversely affect the value of the properties we own, which would lower the potential sales price of such properties.

The real estate industry is subject to market forces and we are unable to predict certain market changes including changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in a particular area. If demand for the types of real estate assets we are seeking to sell were to sharply decrease or supply of those assets were to sharply increase, the prices of those assets could fall significantly. Any potential sale of an undervalued asset could decrease our rate of return on these investments and result in lower additional distributions to investors.

Retail properties depend on anchor tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of a key anchor tenant and trends in the retail sector generally.

Three of the five properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2020 are retail properties. Retail properties, like other properties, are subject to the risk that tenants may be unable to make their lease payments or may decline to extend a lease upon its expiration. A lease termination by a tenant that occupies a large area of a retail center (commonly referred to as an anchor tenant) could impact leases of other tenants. Other tenants may be entitled to modify the terms of their existing leases in the event of a lease termination by an anchor tenant, or the closure of the business of an anchor tenant that leaves its space vacant even if the anchor tenant continues to pay rent. Any such modifications or conditions could be unfavorable to us as the property owner and could decrease rents or expense recoveries. Additionally, major tenant closures may result in decreased customer traffic, which could lead to decreased sales at other stores. In the event of default by a tenant or anchor store, we may experience delays and costs in enforcing our rights as landlord to recover amounts due to us under the terms of our agreements with those parties.

The retail environment and the market for retail space have been, and in the future could be, adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional, and local economies, such as has been seen with respect to the Coronavirus pandemic, the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets, and increasing competition from discount retailers, outlet malls, internet retailers, and other online businesses. Increases in consumer spending via the internet may significantly affect our retail tenants’ ability to generate sales in their stores. New and enhanced technologies, including new digital technologies and new web services technologies, may increase competition for certain of our retail tenants.

Leases with retail properties’ tenants may restrict us from re-leasing space.

Most leases with retail tenants contain provisions giving the particular tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center. These provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants interested in leasing space in a particular retail property.

We purchased assets at a time when the commercial real estate market was experiencing substantial influxes of capital investment and competition for properties, and the real estate we purchased may not appreciate or may decrease in value.

Real estate investment transaction volume has increased since 2010, and estimated going-in capitalization rates, or cap rates (ratio of the net projected operating income of a property in its initial fiscal year divided by the net purchase price), have fallen relative to their post-recession peaks in late 2009. At that time, there was a significant amount of investment capital pursuing high-quality, well-located assets that generated stable cash flows, causing aggressive competition and pricing for assets which matched our investment strategy. This drove prices higher, resulting in lower cap rates and returns. We purchased real estate in this environment and are subject to the risks that the value of our assets may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets.

We depend on the availability of public utilities and services, especially for water and electric power. Any reduction, interruption or cancellation of these services may adversely affect us.

Public utilities, especially those that provide water and electric power, are fundamental for the operation of our assets. The delayed delivery or any material reduction or prolonged interruption of these services could result in tenants terminating their leases or result in an increase in our costs, as we may be forced to use backup generators, which also could be insufficient to fully operate our properties. Accordingly, any interruption or limitation in the provision of these essential services may adversely affect us.

Risks Related to International Investments

We are subject to additional risks from our international investments.

Two of the remaining properties in our portfolio are located outside the United States, specifically in Poland and Russia. These investments may be affected by factors particular to the laws and business practices of the jurisdictions in which the properties are located. These laws and business practices may expose us to risks that are different from and in addition to those commonly found in the United States. Foreign investments pose the following risks:

•the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;

•changing governmental rules and policies, including changes in land use and zoning laws, more stringent environmental laws or changes in such environmental laws;

•existing or new laws relating to the foreign ownership of real property or loans and laws restricting the ability of foreign persons or companies to remove profits earned from activities within the country to the person’s or company’s country of origin;

•the potential for expropriation;

•possible currency transfer restrictions;

•imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes;

•changes in real estate and other tax rates and changes in other operating expenses in particular countries;

•possible challenges to the anticipated tax treatment of the structures that allow us to acquire and hold investments;

•adverse market conditions caused by pandemics such as COVID-19, terrorism, civil unrest and changes in national or local governmental or economic conditions;

•the willingness of domestic or foreign lenders to make loans in certain countries and changes in the availability, cost and terms of loan funds resulting from varying national economic policies;

•general political and economic instability in certain regions;

•the potential difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries; and

•Hines’ limited experience and expertise in foreign countries relative to its experience and expertise in the United States.

Our real estate investment in Poland subjects us to foreign currency risks, which may adversely affect distributions.

The acquisition of our investment in Poland was denominated in Euros and we anticipate that when we dispose of the investment, the disposition will also be denominated in Euros. Therefore we will be subject to foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between Euros and the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in exchange rates of Euros to the U.S. dollar may affect the amount of additional distributions we pay to investors and may also affect the book value of the asset.

Lack of compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

We are subject to the FCPA, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including potential competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions. Fraudulent practices, including corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and others, occur from time-to-time in countries in which we may do business. If people acting on our behalf or at our request are found to have engaged in such practices, severe penalties and other consequences could be imposed on us that may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and our ability to make additional distributions to our investors and the value of their investment.

Risks Related to Organizational Structure

Hines’ ability to cause the Operating Partnership to purchase the units of the Operating Partnership that it or its affiliates hold in connection with the termination of our Advisory Agreement may deter us from terminating our Advisory Agreement.

Under certain circumstances, if we are not advised by an entity affiliated with Hines, Hines or its affiliates may cause the Operating Partnership to purchase some or all of the units of the Operating Partnership then held by such entities. Under these circumstances if the amount necessary to purchase Hines’ and its affiliates’ interests in the Operating Partnership is substantial, these rights could discourage or deter us from terminating our Advisory Agreement under circumstances in which we would otherwise do so.

Risks Related to Potential Conflicts of Interest

We may compete with other investment vehicles affiliated with Hines for tenants.

Hines and its affiliates, including Hines Global Income Trust, Inc., are not prohibited from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any other business or from possessing interests in any other business venture or ventures, including businesses and ventures involved in the acquisition, development, ownership, management, leasing or sale of real estate projects. Hines or its affiliates own and/or manage properties in most, if not all, geographical areas in which our remaining real estate assets are located. Therefore, our properties compete for tenants with other properties owned and/or managed by Hines and its affiliates. Hines may face conflicts of interest when evaluating tenant opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and/or managed by Hines and its affiliates and these conflicts of interest may have a negative impact on our ability to attract and retain tenants.

Employees of the Advisor and Hines will face conflicts of interest relating to time management and allocation of resources.

We do not have employees. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and other agreements with affiliates of the Advisor, we rely on employees of Hines and its affiliates to manage and operate our business and they are contractually bound to devote the time and attention reasonably necessary to conduct our business in an appropriate manner. Our officers and the officers and employees of the Advisor, Hines and its affiliates hold similar positions in numerous entities and they may from time to time allocate more of their time to service the needs of such entities than they allocate to servicing our needs. Hines is not restricted from acquiring, developing, operating, managing, leasing or selling real estate through entities other than us and Hines will continue to be actively involved in real estate operations and activities other than our operations and activities. Hines currently controls and/or operates other entities that own properties in many of the markets in which we own and are seeking to dispose of real properties. Hines spends a material amount of time managing these other properties and other assets unrelated to our business. We lack the ability to manage it without the time and attention of Hines’ employees.

Hines and its affiliates are general partners and sponsors of other investment vehicles having legal and financial obligations similar to ours. Because Hines and its affiliates have interests in other investment vehicles and also engage in other business activities, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and resources among our business and these other activities. Our officers and directors, as well as those of the Advisor, own equity interests in entities affiliated with Hines to whom we may sell properties. These individuals may make substantial profits in connection with such transactions, which could result in conflicts of interest. As a result of these interests, they could pursue transactions that may not be in our best interest.

Hines may face conflicts of interest if we sell properties to Hines.

We may in the future sell properties to Hines and affiliates of Hines. Hines, its affiliates and its employees (including our officers and directors) may make substantial profits in connection with such transactions. Hines may owe fiduciary and/or other duties to the purchaser in these transactions and conflicts of interest between us and the purchaser could exist in such transactions. Because we are relying on Hines, these conflicts could result in transactions based on terms that are less favorable to us than we would receive from a third party.

Hines and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in our investors’ best interest.

Hines, the Advisor and their affiliates receive substantial fees from us in return for their services and these fees could influence the Advisor’s advice to us.

Asset management fees paid to the Advisor and property management and leasing fees paid to Hines and its affiliates would be paid irrespective of the quality of the underlying real estate during the term of the related agreement. The Advisor is also entitled to a fee equal to a percentage of the total consideration paid in connection with a disposition. This fee may incentivize the Advisor to recommend the disposition of a property or properties through a sale, merger, or other transaction that may not be in our best interests at the time. In addition, the premature disposition of an asset may add additional concentration risk to the portfolio or may be at a price lower than if we held the property. Moreover, the Advisor has considerable discretion with respect to the terms and timing of disposition and leasing transactions. In evaluating investments and other management strategies, the opportunity to earn these fees may lead the Advisor to place undue emphasis on criteria relating to its and its affiliates’ compensation at the expense of other criteria, in order to achieve higher short-term compensation. Considerations relating to compensation from us to the Advisor and its affiliates could result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our investors, which could hurt our ability to pay our investors additional distributions and result in a decline in the value of our investors’ investment.

Hines may face conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our day-to-day operations and in the enforcement of agreements between Hines and its affiliates.

Hines and the Advisor manage our day-to-day operations and properties pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. This agreement was not negotiated at arm’s-length and certain fees payable by us under such agreement are paid regardless of our performance.

Hines and its affiliates may encounter conflicts of interest with respect to position as to matters relating to this agreement. Areas of potential conflict include the computation of fees and reimbursements under such agreements, the enforcement and/or termination of the agreements and the priority of payments to third parties as opposed to amounts paid to affiliates of Hines. These fees may be higher than fees charged by third parties in an arm’s-length transaction as a result of these conflicts.

Risks Related to Taxes

Holders of Trust Units may recognize taxable income as a result of their ownership of Trust Units.

The ~~Liquidating~~ Trust is intended to qualify as a “liquidating trust” for federal income tax purposes that is treated as a “grantor trust” for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, each Unit represents ownership of an undivided proportionate interest in all of the assets and liabilities of the Liquidating Trust, and each holder of Units will be treated for federal income tax purposes as receiving or paying directly a pro rata portion of all income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Liquidating Trust. A holder of Units will be taxed each year on its share of revenues from the Liquidating Trust, net of such holder’s share of expenses of the Liquidating Trust whether or not the holder of Units receives a distribution of cash from the Liquidating Trust that year. The long-term or short-term character of any capital gain or loss recognized in connection with the sale of the Liquidating Trust’s assets will be determined based upon a holding period commencing at the time of the acquisition by each holder of Units.

long-term or short-term character of any capital gain or loss recognized in connection with the sale of the Liquidating Trust’s assets will be determined based upon a holding period commencing at the time of the acquisition by each holder of Units.

If the Liquidating Trust fails to qualify as a liquidating trust for federal income tax purposes, it would instead be taxable as a partnership rather than as a grantor trust. If the Liquidating Trust is taxable as a partnership, the tax consequences to holders of Units generally will be similar to those that would be experienced if the Liquidating Trust were a grantor trust.

If the Company failed to qualify as a REIT during its short taxable year ended June 30, 2020, our ability to pay distributions to our investors may be adversely impacted.

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We believe the Company was organized and operated in a manner that allowed it to qualify as a REIT until June 30, 2020 when it transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Liquidating Trust. In order to maintain its REIT status, the Company was required to annually distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of share ownership. Provided that the Company qualified for taxation as a REIT, it was generally not subject to corporate level federal income tax on the earnings distributed to its shareholders that it derived from its REIT qualifying activities. The Company was still subject to state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income for years in which it qualified as a REIT. If the Company were to have failed to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year prior to June 30, 2020, and it was unable to avail itself of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at the regular corporate rates and its cash available for distribution would be reduced.

from its REIT qualifying activities. The Company was still subject to state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income for years in which it qualified as a REIT. If the Company were to have failed to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year prior to June 30, 2020, and it was unable to avail itself of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at the regular corporate rates and its cash available for distribution would be reduced.

If the Operating Partnership is classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under the Code, our operations and our ability to pay distributions to our investors could be adversely affected.

We believe that the Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership, and not as an association or a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In this regard, the Code generally classifies “publicly traded partnerships” (as defined in Section 7704 of the Code) as associations taxable as corporations (rather than as partnerships), unless substantially all of their taxable income consists of specified types of passive income. In order to minimize the risk that the Code would classify the Operating Partnership as a “publicly traded partnership” for tax purposes, we placed certain restrictions on the transfer and/or repurchase of partnership units in the Operating Partnership. However, if the IRS successfully determined that the Operating Partnership should be taxed as a corporation, the Operating Partnership would be required to pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on its net income, its partners would be treated as investors of the Operating Partnership and distributions to partners would constitute non-deductible distributions in computing the Operating Partnership’s taxable income. In addition, weit could cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT for one or more taxable years prior to June 30, 2020, and result in the imposition of a corporate tax on the Operating Partnership, which would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our investors.

1.For acquisitions denominated in a foreign currency, amounts have been translated at a rate based on the rate in effect on the acquisition date.

2.The estimated going-in capitalization rate is determined as of the date of acquisition by dividing the projected property revenues in excess of expenses for the first fiscal year following the date of acquisition by the net purchase price (excluding closing costs and taxes). Property revenues in excess of expenses includes all projected operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, parking and any other property-related income) less all projected operating expenses (property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes, insurance and property management fees).

The projected property revenues in excess of expenses includes assumptions which may not be indicative of the actual future performance of the property, and the actual economic performance of each property for our period of ownership may differ materially from the amounts used in calculating the estimated going-in capitalization rate. These include assumptions, with respect to each property, that in-place tenants will continue to perform under their lease agreements during the 12 months following our acquisition of the property. In addition, with respect to the Minneapolis Retail Center and the Markets at Town Center, the projected property revenues in excess of expenses include assumptions concerning estimates of timing and rental rates related to re-leasing vacant space.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, we had 262.4 million Units outstanding, held by a total of approximately 57,~~400~~600 investors. The number of investors is based on the records of our registrar and transfer agent. There is no established public trading market for our Units. For purposes of this section and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the term “Units” means shares of the Company’s common stock for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and Units of beneficial interest in the Trust for the period subsequent to June 30, 2020.

OnOur ~~March 30, 2021, our~~ Board determined a per Unit NAV of $20.0966 as of ~~December~~March 3111, ~~2020~~2022. This per Unit NAV is $1.43 lower than the previously determined per Unit NAV of $52.5809 as of ~~July 15~~December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the $31.4540 per Unit ~~liquidating~~special distributions paid by the Company since that time. These distributions followed the sales of four of the five remaining properties in our real estate portfolio. See below for a description of how the ~~new~~ per Unit NAV as of March 11, 2022 was determined.

Additionally, we sold our final remaining property on March 10, 2022 and declared a special distribution of $0.62 per unit to all unitholders of record as of March 17, 2022, which was paid on or around March 22, 2022. The per Unit NAV was reduced to $0.04 as of March 17, 2022, following this distribution.

The per Unit NAV of $0.04 as of March 17, 2022 is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that (i) an investor would ultimately realize distributions per Unit equal to the per Unit NAV upon the completion of our wind-down; (ii) the methodologies used to determine the per Unit NAV would be acceptable to FINRA. In addition, we can make no claim as to whether the estimated value will or will not satisfy the applicable annual valuation requirements under ERISA and the Code with respect to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Code that are investing in our Units.

The aggregate value of our five remaining real estate property investments owned as of December 31, 2020 also represented a 46.7% decrease compared to their aggregate net purchase price. The table below sets forth the calculation of our per Unit NAV as of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and February 14, 2019:

(1)In February 2019, the Company declared and paid a liquidating distribution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation of $2.50 per Unit.

(2)This new per Unit NAV is approximately 10% lower than the per Unit NAV of $6.17 previously determined as of February 14, 2019. This decrease is primarily the result of declines in value of the Trust’s four remaining retail assets, including the most recent negative impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(3)In July 2020 and September 2020, the Trust declared and paid a per unit liquidating distribution pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation of $1.00 and $2.45, respectively. These liquidating distributions, in aggregate of $3.45 per unit, were the primary cause of the reduction of the per share NAV as of December 31, 2020, compared to the per share NAV as of June 30, 2020.

Our Board determined the per share NAV by (i) utilizing the values of our real estate property investments of approximately $597.0 million and adding our other assets comprised of our cash, tenant and other receivables and other assets of $46 million, (ii) subtracting the values of our debt obligations and other liabilities comprised of our accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to affiliates, other liabilities and an estimate of costs in excess of income expected to be realized prior to the sale of the remaining properties of $80.0 million, (iii) subtracting an estimate of closing costs that we would expect to incur in relation to the liquidation of our remaining properties of $13.0 million, and (iv) dividing the total by our Units outstanding as of December 31, 2020 of 262.0 million, resulting in a per Unit NAV of $2.09.

Other than with respect to the values of our real estate property investments, the values of the assets and liabilities described above were determined based on their cost and included an estimate of closing costs that we expect to incur in relation to the liquidation of our remaining properties, including disposition fees payable to affiliates of Hines. There can be no assurances of the time frame in which the Company expects to liquidate its remaining properties or that the costs related to the liquidation of our remaining properties would be incurred in the amount estimated by the Company. No adjustments were made related to the period from January 1, 2021 through March 30, 2021, because the Company did not believe they would have a material effect on its per Unit NAV.

The estimated liquidation values described above were determined primarily by using methodologies that are commonly used in the commercial real estate industry. For our domestic real estate property investments, these methodologies included discounted cash flow analyses and reviews of current, historical and projected capitalization rates for properties comparable to those owned by us and assume a 10-year holding period. For our international real estate investments, these methodologies included cash flow analyses and going-in capitalization rates for properties comparable to those owned by us. The tables below summarize the key assumptions that were used in the valuations of our real estate property investments.

As with any valuation methodology, the methodology used to determine the per share NAV was based upon a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. Further, different parties using different property-specific and general real estate and capital market assumptions, estimates, judgments and standards could derive a per share NAV that could be significantly different from the per share NAV determined by our board of directors. While our Board believes that the assumptions used in determining the appraised values of our real estate property investments are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of such values. For example, assuming all other factors remained unchanged, an increase in the average discount rate of 25 basis points would yield a decrease in the appraised values of our domestic real estate property investments of 2.0%, while a decrease in the average discount rate of 25 basis points would yield an increase in the appraised values of our domestic real estate property investments of 1.9%. Likewise, an increase in the average exit capitalization rate of 25 basis points would yield a decrease in the appraised values of our domestic real estate property investments of 2%, while a decrease in the average exit capitalization rate of 25 basis points would yield an increase in the appraised values of our domestic real estate property investments of 2.1%. Additionally, an increase in the average going-in capitalization rate of 25 basis points would yield a decrease in the appraised values of our international real estate property investments of 4.9%, while a decrease in the average going-in capitalization rate of 25 basis points would yield an increase in the appraised values of our international real estate property investments of 4.8%.

The per Unit NAV determined by our Board is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that (i) an investor would ultimately realize distributions per Unit equal to the per Unit NAV upon our the completion of the liquidation of our remaining investments; (ii) the methodologies used to determine the per Unit NAV would be acceptable to FINRA. In addition, we can make no claim as to whether the estimated value will or will not satisfy the applicable annual valuation requirements under ERISA and the Code with respect to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the Code that are investing in our Units.

Further, the per Unit NAV was calculated as of a moment in time, and, although the value of Units will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets, and sales of additional assets and the payment of fees and closing costs in connection therewith, changes in the real estate and capital markets, the distribution of sales proceeds to our investors (if any) and changes in corporate policies, we do not undertake to update the per Unit NAV on a regular basis. As a result, investors should not rely on the per Unit NAV as an accurate measure of the then-current value of Units.

Distributions

We declared distributions of $0.70 per share, per year for the period from October 2009 through December 2011 and $0.65 per share, per year from January 2012 through December 2018 totaling $6.09 per share in aggregate. Approximately $0.45 per share of these distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2018 were designated as a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital as described further below. Additionally, we have declared special distributions and/or liquidating distributions to date totaling $79.0002 per share, each of which is described further below. In aggregate, we have paid total distributions of $1315.0911 per share to our investors from the inception of our fund to date.

•the $1.05 per share special distribution declared to all investors of record as of December 30, 2017 and paid in January 2018. The special distribution was funded with a portion of the net proceeds received from the strategic sale of six assets during 2017.

Executive Summary

As described more completely in “Item 1. Business”, Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global”) was formed in 2008, primarily for the purpose of investing in a diversified portfolio of quality commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments located throughout the United States and internationally. Hines Global raised $3.1 billion of equity capital through various public offerings of its common stock from 2009 through 2018, all of which was invested in a diverse portfolio of 45 real estate investments.

In recent years, we ~~have~~had concentrated our efforts on actively managing our assets and exploring a variety of strategic opportunities focused on enhancing the composition of our portfolio and its total return potential for its investors. Our stockholders approved a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation” or the “Plan”) in July 2018. The principal purpose of the Plan was to provide liquidity to our investors over a two-year period by selling Hines Global’s assets, making payments on property and corporate level debt, and distributing the net proceeds from liquidation to our investors.

While we anticipated a completion of the sale of our assets by July 17, 2020, which is the end of the 24-month period imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for execution of the Plan of Liquidation, the economic disruption and uncertainty resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic have had a significant impact on the process and timing of the Plan’s completion. In June 2020, Hines Global and the members of the Board formed HGR Liquidating Trust, a Maryland statutory trust (the “Liquidating Trust” or the “Trust”). The purpose of the Trust is to complete the liquidation of Hines Global’s assets in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. On June 30, 2020, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Trust and received units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the “Units”) equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on June 30, 2020. Immediately thereafter, the Company distributed the Units pro rata to its stockholders such that one Unit was distributed for each share of the Company’s common stock and all stockholders of the Company are now unitholders and beneficiaries of the Trust. For purposes of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we refer to this transaction that occurred on June 30, 2020 as the Company's "conversion" to the Liquidating Trust.

All references to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns herein means Hines Global REIT, Inc. for periods prior to June 30, 2020, when Hines Global REIT, Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HGR Liquidating Trust, and means HGR Liquidating Trust for periods subsequent thereto. All references to “the Trust” mean HGR Liquidating Trust. In addition, all references to "investors" mean the stockholders of Hines Global for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the unitholders of the Trust for periods subsequent thereto. Similarly, all references to the "Board" mean the board of directors of Hines Global for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the board of trustees of the Trust for periods subsequent thereto.

This per Unit NAV is $1.43 lower than the ~~board~~previously determined per Unit NAV of ~~trustees~~$2.09 as of December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the ~~Trust~~$1.40 per Unit of special distributions paid by the Company since that time. These distributions followed the sales of four of the five remaining properties in our real estate portfolio. We sold our final remaining property on March 10, 2022 and declared a special distribution of $0.62 per Unit that was paid in March 2022. The per Unit NAV was reduced to $0.04 as of March 17, 2022 following this distribution. See Item 5. Market for ~~periods~~Registrant’s ~~subsequent~~Common ~~thereto~~Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for additional information.

We sold interests in 35 of properties with an aggregate sale price of $5.0 billion from 2017 through 2020. As of December 31, 2020, our real estate portfolio consisted of five properties: three U.S. retail properties and two international office properties. 12

Additionally, the Company declared distributions of $0.70 per Unit per year for the period from October 2009 through December 2011 and $0.65 per Unit per year from January 2012 through December 2018 totaling $6.09 per Unit in aggregate. Approximately $0.45 per Unit of these distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2018 were designated as a return

of a portion of the investors’ invested capital. Further, the Company has declared special distributions and/or liquidating distributions to date totaling $7.00 per Unit. In aggregate, the Company has paid total distributions of $13.09 per Unit to the investors from the inception of the Company to date. See “Note 6 — Distributions” for additional information regarding these distributions.

Comparability of Financial Data From Period to Period

We adopted the liquidation basis of accounting on July 1, 2020, upon our conversion to the Liquidating Trust. As described further below, the liquidation basis of accounting requires assets and liabilities to be recorded at amounts that approximate their ultimate value at liquidation. In prior periods, our financial statements were prepared on the going concern basis including the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows. As a result of the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the amounts and results presented in these financial statements are not comparable to the amounts and results presented in our consolidated statement of net assets and statement of changes in net assets. Therefore, we will not describe changes between the periods before and after our adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting. Changes in the liquidation value of our assets are discussed below under Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

Further, we ~~have~~ sold 40 of our 45 real estate investments ~~and~~prior ~~have~~to December 31, 2020 and distributed available proceeds. We ~~expect~~sold tofour ~~sell~~of the five remaining properties inthroughout 2021 and the ~~near~~final ~~term~~property in March 2022. As a result, we are no longer reporting funds from operations or modified funds from operations or other operating metrics as we no longer consider these to be key performance measures.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - Liquidation Basis

As a result of our conversion to the Liquidating Trust, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP as of July 1, 2020 and for the periods subsequent to July 1, 2020. Accordingly, on July 1, 2020, assets were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of cash that we expect to collect. Estimated costs to dispose of assets have been presented separately from the real estate assets, net in the consolidated statement of net assets. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due or estimated settlement amounts. The liquidation value of our net assets is presented on an undiscounted basis.

We accrue expenses and income that we expect to incur and earn through the end of liquidation to the extent we have a reasonable basis for their estimation. These amounts are classified as a liability for estimated expenses in excess of estimated income during liquidation in the consolidated statement of net assets. Actual expenses and income may differ from amounts reflected in the financial statements because of inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material.

Net assets in liquidation represents the estimated liquidation value available to investors upon liquidation. Due to the uncertainty in the timing of the anticipated sale dates and the estimated cash flows, actual operating results and sale proceeds may differ materially from the amounts estimated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, application of our accounting policies involves exercising judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following is a discussion of our critical accounting policies. For a discussion of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Investment Property and Lease Intangibles - Going Concern Basis

Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment each reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the individual property may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison will be made of the current and projected operating cash flows and expected proceeds from the eventual disposition of each property on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, it would be written down to the estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. The determination of whether investment property is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of the evaluation.

basis to the carrying amount of such property. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, it would be written down to the estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. The determination of whether investment property is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of the evaluation.

In July 2019, we determined that all of our real estate properties and their related assets and associated liabilities should be classified as held for sale. As a result of the held for sale classification, amounts related to assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their current carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Also, as a result of the held for sale classification, we have stopped recording depreciation and amortization to the assets held for sale and their related liabilities as of July 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, and ~~years~~year ended December 31, 2019 ~~and 2018~~, we recorded total impairment charges of $18.6 million, and $122.6 million, ~~and $19.2 million,~~ respectively.

Deferred Leasing Costs - Going Concern Basis

Direct leasing costs, primarily consisting of third-party leasing commissions and tenant inducements are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease. Tenant inducement amortization is recorded as an offset to rental revenue and the amortization of other direct leasing costs is recorded in amortization expense. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include: (i) whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; (ii) whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements; (iii) the uniqueness of the improvements; (iv) the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the term of the lease; and (v) who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements for accounting purposes is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination, we consider all of the above factors. No one factor, however, necessarily establishes any determination. Further, as a result of the held for sale designation, no amortization was recorded after July 2019.

Revenue Recognition and Valuation of Receivables - Going Concern Basis

We are required to recognize minimum rent revenues on a straight-line basis over the terms of tenant leases, including rent holidays and bargain renewal options, if any. Revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant’s lease provision. Leases are not uniform in dealing with such cost reimbursements and there are many variations to the computation. We make quarterly accrual adjustments, positive or negative, to tenant reimbursement revenue to adjust the recorded amounts to our best estimate of the final amounts to be billed and collected with respect to the cost reimbursements. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term and are included in other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. To the extent our leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, we will record a receivable for rent not yet due under the lease terms. Accordingly, our management must determine, in its judgment, to what extent the unbilled rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectible. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, we assess whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels and current economic trends. The uncollectible portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, an allowance for the uncollectible portion of tenant and other receivables was determined and recognized based upon an analysis of the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion regarding recent accounting pronouncements and the potential impact, if any, on our financial statements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically our most significant demands for funds were related to the purchase of real estate properties and other real estate-related investments. Specifically, we funded $5.1 billion of real estate investments using $3.1 billion of proceeds from our public offerings, including the DRP offerings, and debt proceeds. We invested all of the proceeds raised through our public offerings by the end of 2015. As a result, any real estate investments we made since that time were funded using proceeds from the dispositions of other real estate investments, debt proceeds, or our distribution reinvestment plan.

In recent years, our primary demands for funds include debt repayment and liquidating distributions to our investors and, to a lesser extent, the payment of operating expenses and capital expenditures of our remaining properties. Generally, we expect to meet these cash needs using the proceeds from the sales of our remaining investment properties, cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand.

As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $187.7 million. Our net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2021 was $330.6 million.

Principal Sources and Uses of Funds

Our primary non-operating sources of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 include the following:

•$218.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of The Rim in May 2021.

•$35.6 million of net proceeds from the sale of Gogolevsky 11 in November 2021.

•$86.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of Markets at Town Center in November 2021.

•$24.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of New City in December 2021.

Our primary non-operating uses of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 include the following:

•$209.9 million of liquidating distributions to our unitholders, which consisted of the $0.80 per Unit distribution declared in September 2021.

•$3.2 million of amortization payments on the principal balance of our secured mortgage loan. The loan was assumed by the buyer of New City in November 2021.

•$4.4 million of disposition fees paid in 2021 related to the sales described above.

•$8.9 million in payments for capital expenditures at our real estate investment properties in 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $27.3 million. Our net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2020, was $549.7 million.

Principal Sources and Uses of Funds

Our primary non-operating sources of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 include the following:

•$222.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of Riverside Center in January 2020.

•$58.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of Perspective Defense in February 2020.

•$64.7 million of net proceeds from the sale of Campus at Marlborough in June 2020.

Results of Operations

Changes in Net Assets for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021

The table below includes information regarding changes in our net assets for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, including explanations for significant changes.



	(In thousands)

Net assets in liquidation, beginning of period	$	549,706
Change in liquidation value of investments in real estate	(8,073)
Remeasurement of assets and liabilities, including costs in excess of estimated income	(1,096)
Net decrease in liquidation value	$	(9,169)
Liquidating distributions to unitholders	(209,917)
Changes in net assets in liquidation	(219,086)
Net assets in liquidation, end of period	$	330,620

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $219.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The reduction during the period is primarily due to liquidating distributions paid to investors totaling $209.9 million or $0.80 per Unit. These distributions were funded from proceeds from the sale of four properties with an aggregate sale price of $433.0 million.

Additionally, the estimated value of our real estate investments decreased by $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to market conditions resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic and its effect on our one remaining retail

property, Minneapolis Retail Center. The estimated liquidation value of this property was based on the contract sale price as of

December 31, 2021.

Lastly, during the year ended December 31, 2021, there was a $1.1 million decrease related to remeasuring assets and liabilities, including the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated income during liquidation.

The remaining undistributed net assets in liquidation is $330.6 million as of December 31, 2021 or approximately $1.26 per Unit. This estimate included projections as of December 31, 2021 regarding the timing of the completion of the sale of our remaining property and the amount of sales proceeds that would be generated, as well as costs and expenses to be incurred during liquidation. Since December 31, 2021, the Company sold its final remaining property and paid distributions totaling

$1.22 per Unit to investors. Our remaining per Unit NAV was $0.04 as of March 17, 2022, which

we expect to pay to investors after our wind-down is completed, later this year. There can be no certainty

regarding the timing or the amount of any future distributions.

Changes in Net Assets for the period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020

The table below includes information regarding changes in our net assets for the period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, including explanations for significant changes.



	(In thousands)

Net assets in liquidation, beginning of period	$	1,463,820
Change in liquidation value of investments in real estate	(31,699)
Remeasurement of assets and liabilities, including costs in excess of estimated income	22,851
Net decrease in liquidation value	$	(8,848)
Liquidating distributions to unitholders	(905,266)
Changes in net assets in liquidation	(914,114)
Net assets in liquidation, end of period	$	549,706

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $914.1 million during the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The reduction during the period is primarily due to liquidating distributions paid to investors totaling $905.3 million or $3.45 per Unit. These distributions were funded from proceeds from the sale of five properties with an aggregate sale price of $1.1 billion.

Additionally, the estimated value of our real estate investments decreased by $31.7 million between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, including the effect of properties sold during that period. The decrease was primarily due to adverse effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on market conditions. The estimated liquidation values of the Company’s remaining properties are based on negotiated sale prices or other market conditions and assumptions as of December 31, 2020. The net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2020 includes five properties valued at $597.2 million.

Lastly, during the period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, there was a $22.9 million increase related to remeasuring assets and liabilities, including the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated income during liquidation.

The remaining undistributed net assets in liquidation is $549.7 million as of December 31, 2020 or approximately $2.09 per Unit. This estimate ~~includes~~included projections as of December 31, 2020 of timing and amounts of future sales, as well as costs and expenses to be incurred during liquidation. ~~The~~ actual timing and amount of these future sales proceeds may differ materially from our current projection, which could adversely impact the timing and amount of any additional distributions to investors, which cannot be guaranteed. For example, the impact of potential risks, or public perception of risks, related to the recent Coronavirus pandemic could have a material impact on the liquidation value of remaining properties and timing of liquidation. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, including timing and amount of future sales proceeds, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Due to our conversion to the Liquidating Trust on June 30, 2020, we are no longer reporting funds from operations or modified funds from operations, as we no longer consider these to be key performance measures given our expectation to sell our remaining properties in the near term.17

Going Concern Basis of Accounting - Six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019

The table below includes information regarding changes in our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, including explanations for significant changes and any significant or unusual activity. The primary driver of the decreases in the revenues and expenses were due to the sale of four properties in 2019, and the sale of three additional properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Amounts reported for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were originally reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and are being provided for comparative purposes only. All amounts are in thousands, except for percentages:

Total revenues, property operating expenses, real property taxes, and property management fees: These amounts are related directly to the operations of our real estate investments. The decrease in these amounts is primarily due to the disposition of real estate investments during 2019 and 2020. We disposed of three real estate investments during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and four real estate investments during the year ended December 31, 2019, including two investments sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, the performance of our retail properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was adversely impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. We granted rent relief to many of our tenants at our retail properties in the form of rent concessions, rent deferrals and conversion of fixed rental payments to rental payments that are based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. As a result, revenues of our retail properties decreased by $6.3 million or approximately 17% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, excluding the effect of the sale of several outparcels of the Rim in early 2020.

Depreciation and amortization: The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to the disposition of real estate investments during 2019 and 2020, as described above.

Asset management fees: We pay monthly asset management fees to the Advisor. For the periods through June 30, 2020, the monthly asset management fee was calculated based on an annual fee of 1.5% of the net equity capital invested in real estate, and for the period after June 30, 2020, the Advisor agreed to reduce the asset management fee rate, to demonstrate its alignment with investors, such that the new rate is calculated based on an annual fee of 1.125% of the net equity capital invested in real estate. The net equity capital invested in real estate may be affected by the timing of the property sales, amounts of equity invested in properties that are sold, capital expenditures and changes in the leverage of our properties. Asset management fees decreased during six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the seven property dispositions in 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses include legal and accounting fees, printing and mailing costs, insurance costs, costs and expenses associated with our board of directors and other administrative expenses. The decrease is due to the sale of seven properties during 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Impairment losses: For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded an impairment loss totaling $18.6 million on three of our properties based on such assets having carrying values that exceeded their estimated sales price less costs to sell based on the offers received. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, prior to the designating our properties as held for sale, we determined that one of our investment properties was impaired based on deteriorating market conditions. As a result, an impairment loss of $7.2 million was recorded to write down the carrying values to fair value as of June 30, 2019.

Gain (loss) on derivative instruments: The gain on derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling between the dates we entered into British pound sterling forward contracts and the date they were settled.

Gain on sale of real estate: The gain on sale of real estate investments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was due to the sale of three properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and two properties during the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Foreign currency gains (losses): During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, these gains/losses were primarily related to the effect of remeasuring our borrowings denominated in currencies other than our functional currencies and the changes to the related exchange rates between the date of the borrowing and the end of each period. These gains or losses exclude $7.8 million of losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which related to the sale of our properties and were included in the “gain (loss) on sale of real estate investments” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest expense: The decrease in the interest expense in the table above is primarily due to our lower total debt principal in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Benefit (provision) for income taxes: The change in provision for the year ended six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the year ended six months ended June 30, 2019 is a result of changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities related to book / tax timing differences at our international subsidiaries.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with the Advisor, and Hines or its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to these entities during the various phases of our operation. During the disposition and liquidation stages, these include payments for certain services related to management of our investments and operations provided to us by the Advisor and Hines and its affiliates pursuant to various agreements we have entered into or anticipate entering into with these entities. See Note 78 — Related Party Transactions to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information concerning our Related-Party Transactions and Agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Liquidating Distribution

In March 2022, our Trustees declared and paid a liquidating distribution of $0.62 per Unit, following the sale of Minneapolis Retail Center. As a result of the $0.62 per Unit liquidating distribution, the per Unit NAV was reduced to $0.04 as of March 17, 2022.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. In pursuing our business plan, we believe that interest rate risk, currency risk and real estate valuation risk ~~are~~were the primary market risks to which we ~~are~~were exposed. Due to the sale of all of our international real estate investments and repayment of all of our outstanding debt, we no longer have exposure to these risks.

~~Interest Rate Risk~~19

We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. One of our interest rate risk management objectives is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. To achieve this objective, we may borrow at fixed rates or fix and cap the variable rates of interest on variable interest rate borrowings through the use of interest rate swaps and caps. We have and may continue to enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to these interest rate swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the derivative contracts. In the event of non-performance by the counterparty, if we were not able to replace these swaps, we would be subject to the variability of interest rates on the total amount of debt outstanding under the mortgage.

At December 31, 2020, we had one secured mortgage note with principal outstanding $65.7 million, that is subject to variable interest rates. If interest rates were to increase by 1% and all other variables were held constant, we would incur $0.7 million in additional annual interest expense associated with our variable-rate debt. Additionally, we have an interest rate cap in place related to this loan with a notional amount of approximately $55.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, the variable interest rate did not exceed the capped interest rate, but if interest rates rise in the future, this interest rate cap would limit our total exposure.

Foreign Currency Risks

We currently have one remaining real estate investment located in a country outside of the U.S. that is subject to the effects of exchange rate movements between the foreign currency of the real estate investment and the U.S. dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows as well as amounts translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Generally, we have entered into mortgage loans denominated in foreign currencies for these investments, which provide natural hedges with regard to changes in exchange rates between the foreign currencies and U.S. dollar and reduces our exposure to exchange rate differences. Additionally, we are typically a net receiver of these foreign currencies, and, as a result, our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar.

As of December 31, 2020, our two remaining properties located in countries outside of the U.S. included an office property in Moscow, Russia and an office property in Warsaw, Poland. Our property located in Moscow, Russia was purchased in U.S. dollars and we expect that when we dispose of the asset, the sale transaction will also be denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we do not expect to have economic exposure to the ruble upon disposition. Our property located in Warsaw, Poland was purchased in Euros and we expect that when we dispose of this asset, the sale transaction will also be denominated in Euros. We have entered into a foreign currency forward on the value of our equity in the asset. Accordingly, we have reduced our economic exposure to exchange rate variability prior to the disposition of the property.

HGR LIQUIDATING TRUST

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Hines Global REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), was formed as a Maryland corporation on December 10, 2008 under the General Corporation Law of the state of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and owning commercial real estate properties and other real estate investments. The Company raised the equity capital for its real estate investments through two public offerings from August 2009 through April 2014, and through its distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP Offering”) from April 2014 through August 2018. Collectively, through its public offerings, the Company raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $3.1 billion, including the DRP Offering, all of which was invested in the Company’s real estate portfolio. The Company invested the proceeds from its public offerings into a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. At the peak of its acquisition phase, the Company owned interests in 45 properties. In recent years, the Company has concentrated its efforts on actively managing its assets and exploring a variety of strategic opportunities focused on enhancing the composition of its portfolio and its total return potential for its investors. On April 23, 2018, in connection with its review of potential strategic alternatives available to the Company, the Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its investors to sell all or substantially all of its properties and assets and for the Company to liquidate and dissolve pursuant to the Company's Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”). The principal purpose of the liquidation is to provide liquidity to investors by selling the Company’s assets, making payments on property and corporate level debt, and distributing the net proceeds from liquidation to the Company's investors. As required by Maryland law and the Company's charter, the Plan of Liquidation was approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Company’s annual meeting held on July 17, 2018.

As required by Maryland law and the Company’s charter, the Plan of Liquidation was approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon at the Company’s annual meeting of investors held on July 17, 2018. While the Company anticipated a completion of the sale of all of its assets by July 17, 2020, which is the 24-month period imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for execution of the Plan, the economic disruption and uncertainty resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic have had a significant impact on the process and timing of the Plan of Liquidation’s completion. On June 30, 2020, Hines Global and the Trustees identified below entered into an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Liquidating Trust Agreement”) in connection with the formation of HGR Liquidating Trust, a Maryland statutory trust (the “Liquidating Trust” or the “Trust”). The purpose of the Trust is to complete the liquidation of Hines Global’s assets in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. The trustees of the Trust consist of certain members of Hines Global’s board of directors: Jeffrey C. Hines, Charles M. Baughn, Jack L. Farley, Thomas L. Mitchell, John S. Moody and Peter Shaper; and David L. Steinbach, the Company’s Chief Investment Officer (collectively, the “Trustees”). Pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Trust and received units of beneficial interest in the Trust (the “Units”) equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on June 30, 2020. Immediately thereafter, the Company distributed the Units pro rata to its stockholders such that one Unit was distributed for each share of the Company’s common stock and all stockholders of the Company are now unitholders and beneficiaries of the Trust.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides for an orderly sale of the Company's remaining assets, payment of the Company's liabilities and other obligations, and the winding up of operations and dissolution of the Company. The Company may sell any and all of its assets without further approval of the investors and provides that liquidating distributions be made to

4225

the investors as determined by the Board. The Liquidating Trust expects to pay or provide for all of the Company’s liabilities and distribute any remaining net proceeds from the sale of its remaining assets to the holders of interests in the Liquidating Trust.

The dissolution process and the amount and timing of distributions to investors involves significant risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the timing or aggregate amount which will ultimately be distributed to investors, and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate of net assets presented in the consolidated statement of net assets.

All references to the “Company,” means Hines Global REIT, Inc. for periods prior to June 30, 2020, when Hines Global REIT, Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HGR Liquidating Trust, and means HGR Liquidating Trust for periods subsequent thereto. In addition, all references to "investors" mean the stockholders of Hines Global REIT, Inc. for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the unitholders of the Trust for the period subsequent thereto. Similarly, all references to the "Board" mean the board of directors of Hines Global for periods prior to June 30, 2020 and mean the board of trustees of the Trust for the period subsequent thereto. Further, all references to "Units" means the units of beneficial interest in the Trust for the period subsequent to June 30, 2020 and means, to the extent applicable, the shares of Hines Global REIT, Inc. for periods through June 30, 2020.

Approximately $0.45 per Unit of these distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2018 were designated as a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital. Further, the Company has declared special distributions and/or liquidating distributions to date totaling $79.0002 per Unit. In aggregate, the Company has paid total distributions of $1315.0911 per Unit to the investors from the inception of our fund to date. See “Note 67 — Distributions” for additional information regarding these distributions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting - Liquidation Basis

The Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of July 1, 2020 and for the period subsequent to July 1, 2020 as a result of the entering in to the Liquidating Trust Agreement on June 30, 2020. Accordingly, on July 1, 2020 the carrying value of the Company’s assets were adjusted to their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, which represents the estimated amount of cash that the Company reasonably expects to collect from their sale. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due or estimated settlement amounts. The liquidation value of the Company’s net assets is presented on an undiscounted basis. Due to the uncertainty in the timing of the anticipated sale amounts and dates and the estimated cash flows, actual operating results and sale proceeds may differ materially from the amounts estimated.

Additionally, the Company accrues costs and income that it expects to incur and earn through the end of the liquidation period, to the extent it has a reasonable basis for estimation. This also includes estimated costs to dispose of assets. These amounts are classified as a liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated income during liquidation in the consolidated statement of net assets. Actual costs and income may differ from amounts reflected in the financial statements because of inherent uncertainty in estimating future events. These differences may be material.

As a result of the change to the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 are presented using the liquidation basis of accounting. Additionally, the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented using two different presentations. For the liquidation basis of accounting, a consolidated statement of net assets is presented, which represents the estimated liquidation value available to trustees upon liquidation. In addition, a consolidated statement of changes in net assets reflects changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 and from the original estimated values as of July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

The consolidated ~~balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the consolidated~~ statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statement of changes in equity and statements of cash flow for the periods ended June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 ~~and 2018~~ included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented based on a going concern basis, which contemplated the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company no longer presents a Consolidated Balance Sheet, a Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), a Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity or a Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, application of the Company’s accounting policies involves exercising judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Hines Global REIT, Inc. or HGR Liquidating Trust, the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the joint ventures as well as amounts related to noncontrolling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluates the need to consolidate joint ventures in accordance with GAAP. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will consolidate joint ventures that are determined to be variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. Further, partially owned real estate joint ventures over which the Company has a controlling financial interest are consolidated in its financial statements. In determining if the Company has a controlling financial interest, it considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in these factors, to determine if the consolidation treatment remains appropriate. Partially owned real estate joint ventures where the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, but has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.

Coronavirus pandemic

The Coronavirus pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on overall market conditions and the Company’s disposition process. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including in Poland and Russia and in the states across the U.S. where the Company’s assets are located, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. While operations in certain areas have been allowed to fully or partially re-open, some areas, including Poland, are experiencing new closures or restrictions subsequent to re-opening due to rising numbers of new cases, and no assurance can be given that such closures or restrictions will not continue to occur. These restrictions have significantly disrupted business activity globally, and could have an adverse impact on the performance of certain of the Company’s investments, as well as the timing of the disposition of its remaining assets. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the Coronavirus and its potential effects on the population, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken on a national and local level by government authorities and businesses.

While it is difficult to ascertain the long-term impact it will have on commercial real estate markets and the successful disposition of the Company’s remaining assets, the pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the current and future performance and value of its investments. The Company’s remaining real property investments have been impacted by the pandemic and in some cases significantly. The Company’s tenants operate in industries which are being adversely affected by the disruption to business caused by the outbreak of the Coronavirus. From time to time during the pandemic, many of the Company’s tenants have been subject to shelter in place and other quarantine restrictions, and the restrictions were in place for an extended period of time in some cases. These restrictions have had a particularly adverse impact on the Company’s retail tenants (other than grocery tenants), as government instructions regarding social distancing and mandated closures have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated customer foot traffic, causing some of its retail tenants to temporarily close their brick and mortar stores. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s owned three retail properties in the U.S., which comprised of approximately 75.0% of its remaining portfolio (based on the estimated value of each real estate investment as of December 31, 2020). While rent collections were adversely affected in the early months of the pandemic, consumer traffic at these properties has recovered to near pre-pandemic levels in recent months and rent collections recovered to 99% of billed rent by the end of the year ended December 31, 2020. However, rising infection rates and the potential for additional government mandated shutdowns could reduce consumer traffic at the retail properties and negatively impact future rent collections and the Company’s ability to dispose of these properties at the time and at the price that it believes is appropriate.

The Coronavirus pandemic has also caused, and is likely to continue to cause, severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide. The Company cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that its access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of borrowings, renewals or refinancings.

The extent of the Coronavirus pandemic’s effect on the timing and success of the Company’s disposition process will depend on future developments, including the duration and lingering impact of the pandemic, the effectiveness of vaccines and speed of their distribution, continued resurgences in Coronavirus cases, and the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, the Company is not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on its business or its disposition process, but any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, as well as the timing and amount of additional distributions to its investors.

International Operations

The British pound (“GBP”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Russian ruble (“RUB”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Russia, the Polish zloty (“PLN”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Poland, the Australian dollar (“AUD”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Australia and the Euro (“EUR”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Germany and France.

These subsidiaries have translated their financial statements into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date while income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign currency gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and result from the effect of changes in exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than a subsidiary’s functional currency, including transactions between consolidated subsidiaries.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold Perspective Defense. Upon the disposal of this property, the Company realized a loss of $7.8 million related to the currency translation adjustment, which was included in the gain (loss) on the sale of real estate investments in its consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not own any international real estate investments.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale - Going Concern Basis

As described above, in connection with the execution of the Plan of Liquidation, the Company is actively working to sell its remaining properties. Accordingly, in July 2019, the Company determined that all of its real estate properties and their related assets and associated liabilities should be classified as held for sale in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10. ASC 360-10 requires amounts related to assets held for sale to be recorded at the lower of their current carrying value or their estimated net realizable value (i.e. fair value less costs to sell). As a result, the Company recorded impairment losses on six of its properties during the six months ended June 30, 2019 based on the offers received and third party broker consultations, which were obtained in conjunction with its marketing process. See Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding these impairment charges.

As ASC 360-10 requires the separate presentation of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, the Company has aggregated and presented these assets and liabilities each as one line on the Consolidated Balance Sheet (“assets held for sale” and “liabilities associated with assets held for sale”, respectively), which are described further in the tables below. Further, as a result of the held for sale designation, no depreciation or amortization related to the properties was recorded after July 2019. These assets did not qualify to be classified as discontinued operations, because the sale of these assets does not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, assets held for sale consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Investment property, net	$	814,541	$	1,179,770
Restricted cash	6,233		12,780

Total assets held for sale	$	1,124,792	$	1,551,858

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, liabilities associated with assets held for sale consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	32,203	$	48,459

(1)Includes outstanding liabilities related to the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, which is collateralized by several of the remaining properties and must be repaid after the sale of those properties.

Investment Property and Lease Intangibles - Going Concern Basis

Real estate assets acquired by the Company are stated at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 10 years for furniture and fixtures, 15-20 years for electrical and mechanical installations and 40 years for buildings. Major replacements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases are the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, the Company evaluates the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation will include an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense.

Acquired out-of-market lease values (including ground leases) are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of fair market value lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized out-of-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue (or ground lease expense, as applicable) over the remaining terms of the respective leases, which include periods covered by bargain renewal options. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the out-of-market lease value is charged to rental revenue.

Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the outstanding principal balance of the note will be amortized over the life of the mortgage note payable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company determined that three of its remaining properties were impaired asby a$18.6 million ~~result~~based ofon such assets having carrying values that exceeded their estimate sales price less costs to sell based on the offers received (level 2 inputs). See Note 9 — Fair Value Measurement for more information.

As a result of the Company’s remaining real estate properties meeting the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2019, the Company determined that six of its remaining properties were impaired by $115.4 million based on such assets having carrying values that exceeded their estimated sales price less costs to sell based on the offers received (level 2 inputs) and third party broker consultations (level 3 inputs), which were obtained in conjunction with the Company’s marketing process during the period. Of this amount, $46.9 million is attributable to the requirement when real estate properties are classified as held for sale to include cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments (“cumulative CTA”) in the carrying value for two of the Company’s foreign denominated assets within the impairment tests in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. These impairment losses are limited to the carrying amount of each asset.

Prior to designating its properties as held for sale, investment properties were reviewed for impairment at each reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During the year ended year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that one of its properties was impaired by $7.2 million as a result of deteriorating market conditions and valued it using level 3 inputs. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that three of its properties were impaired as a result of deteriorating market conditions. As a result, an impairment loss of $19.2 million was recorded to write down its carrying value to its fair value for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

~~The~~Restricted ~~Company~~cash ~~has~~was ~~restricted~~$19.3 million ~~cash~~at ~~primarily~~December 31, 2021, which related to ~~certain~~amounts ~~escrow~~escrowed ~~accounts~~for ~~required~~the bypayment ~~several~~ of Value-Added Taxes (“VAT”) related to the ~~Company’s~~sale ~~mortgage~~of ~~agreements~~New City in November 2021. The Company paid the VAT liability in January 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. Management regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions in an effort to manage the Company’s exposure to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

In addition, as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, the Company had $106.58 million of cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions located in the United Kingdom, ~~Russia,~~ Poland, Australia, and France. Management regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions in an effort to manage its exposure to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents.

Tenant and Other Receivables

Receivable balances consist primarily of base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to straight-line rent, and are carried at cost. Upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, individual leases are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents is not probable, accrued rent and accounts receivables are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, the Company assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels and current economic trends. The uncollectible portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues.

Deferred Leasing Costs - Going Concern Basis

The Company had no tenant inducement amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Tenant inducement amortization ~~were~~was $8.9 million ~~and $19.5 million~~ for the ~~years~~year ended December 31, 2019 ~~and 2018~~, ~~respectively,~~ and was recorded as an offset to rental revenue. The Company recorded no amortization expense related to other direct leasing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Amortization expense related to other direct leasing costs were $2.4 million ~~and $4.5 million~~ for the ~~years~~year ended December 31, 2019 ~~and 2018, respectively~~. In addition, no amortization was recorded after July 2019 due to the Company’s properties being classified as held for sale.

Deferred Financing Costs - Going Concern Basis

Deferred financing costs consist of direct costs incurred in obtaining debt financing (see Note 46 — Debt Financing). These fees are presented as a reduction to the related debt liability for permanent mortgages and presented as an asset for revolving credit arrangements. In total, deferred financing costs (net of amortization) were $2.0 million ~~and $2.0 million~~ as of June 30, 2020 ~~and December 31, 2019~~. These costs are amortized into interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the obligations. The Company had no amortized interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, $1.9 million and $4.2 million, were amortized into interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, respectively. In addition, no amortization was recorded after July 2019 due to the Company’s properties being classified as held for sale.

Other Assets

Other assets included the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Prepaid expenses	$	1,253	$	1,580
Deferred tax assets	7,280		10,056
Other	218		228
Other assets (1)	$	8,751	$	11,864

(1)As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, with the exception of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to corporate level activities, these amounts were included in other assets within assets held for sale.

Revenue Recognition

~~FASB issued~~ ASU 2014-09 ~~which superseded the revenue recognition requirements under previous guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09~~ requires the use of a ~~new~~ five-step model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers. The five-step model requires that the Company identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations. Management has concluded that the majority of the Company’s total revenue, with the exception of gains and losses from the sale of real estate, consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the standard. Excluding gains and losses on the sale of real estate (as discussed further below), the Company concluded that its remaining revenue streams were immaterial and, as such, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

below), the Company concluded that its remaining revenue streams were immaterial and, as such, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2018, the Company began accounting for the sale of real estate properties under ASU 2017-05 and provides for revenue recognition based on completed performance obligations, which typically occurs upon the transfer of ownership of a real estate asset.

Rental payments are generally paid by the tenants prior to the beginning of each month. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Company recorded liabilities of $7.9 million and $12.4 million related to prepaid rental payments which were included in liabilities associated with assets held for sale as of June 30, 2020 and other liabilities as of December 31, 2019 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivable was $34.9 million and $40.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in assets held for sale as of June 30, 2020 and in tenant and other receivables as of December 31, 2019 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provisions. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term.

Other revenues consist primarily of parking revenue, tenant reimbursements and interest on loans receivable. Parking revenue represents amounts generated from contractual and transient parking and is recognized in accordance with contractual terms or as services are rendered. Other revenues relating to tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period that the expense is incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) through June 30, 2020, when it transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the Liquidating Trust. The Company’s management believes that the Company operated in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT until June 30, 2020. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and ~~years~~year ended December 31, 2019 ~~and 2018~~ in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In ~~2020~~2021, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~ 2019 income tax expense recorded by the Company was primarily comprised of foreign income taxes related to the operation of its international properties. All periods from December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2021 are open for examination by the IRS. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits requiring disclosure.

periods from December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020 are open for examination by the IRS. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits requiring disclosure.

Redemption of Common Stock

The Company complies with FASB ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. When approved, the Company will reclassify such obligations from equity to an accrued liability based upon their respective settlement values. The Company had no recorded liabilities as of June 30, 2020 and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2019 in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets related to shares tendered for redemption and approved by the board of directors, but which were not redeemed until the subsequent month. Such amounts have been included in redemption of common shares in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity.

Per Share Data

Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common investors for each period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. Net income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis is the same because the Company has no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - Going Concern Basis

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which requires companies that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities (“ASC 842”). The accounting by companies that own the assets leased by the lessee (the lessor) remains largely unchanged from earlier guidance under ASC 840. The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, and is using the modified retrospective approach. No adjustment to opening retained earnings was required.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which allows lessors to account for lease and non-lease components by class of underlying assets, as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. Also, the new standard indicates that companies are permitted to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption in lieu of restating prior periods in accordance with ASC 842 and provides other optional practical expedients.

Upon adoption, the Company elected the following practical expedients:

•The transition method in which the application date of January 1, 2019 is the beginning of the reporting period that the Company first applied the new guidance.

•The practical expedient package which allows an entity not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases.

•As an accounting policy election, a lessor may choose not to separate the non-lease components, by class of underlying assets, from the lease components and instead account for both types of components as a single component under certain conditions.

Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company identified the following changes resulted from the adoption of ASC 842:

Lessor Accounting

•The Company is entitled to receive tenant reimbursements for operating expenses for common area maintenance (“CAM”). Based on guidance in these ASUs, CAM reimbursement revenue is defined as a non-lease component, which would be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. However, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component.

•Capitalization of leasing costs is limited to initial direct costs. Initial direct costs have been defined as incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Legal costs are no longer capitalized, but expensed as incurred. There is no change in the Company’s accounting for lease inducements and commissions.

•The Company’s existing leases continue to be classified as operating leases, however, leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2019 may be classified as either operating or sales-type leases, based on specific classification criteria. The Company believes all of its leases will continue to be classified as operating leases, and all operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as under current GAAP.

•The Company believes there is low risk of inadequate residual values of its leased assets upon the termination of these leases due to the Company’s ability to re-lease the spaces for the assets, the long-lived nature of its real estate assets and the nature of real estate assets to hold their value over a long periods of time.

~~Lessee Accounting~~31

•The Company has a ground lease agreement in which the Company is the lessee for land underneath New City that is currently accounted for as an operating lease. The lease currently ends in December 2089 and has fixed payments. The rental expense associated with this lease was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company previously recognized an amount related to this ground lease as part of the allocation of the purchase price of New City, which was recorded to intangible lease assets, net. Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $3.6 million in right-of-use asset, net and other liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified an additional 65.1 million Polish zloty (“PLN”) (approximately $17.3 million converted using an exchange rate of $0.27 per PLN on January 1, 2019) from intangible lease assets, net to right-of-use asset in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining balances were included as a right-of-use asset within assets held for sale and in other liabilities within liabilities associated with assets held for sale.

The Company’s estimate of the amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability included assumptions for the discount rate, which is based on the incremental borrowing rate of the lease contract. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease. Since the term of the New City ground lease is much longer than a typical borrowing, the Company derived the incremental borrowing rate of 6.4%, as the spread in a current financing quote for the property plus the applicable base rate corresponding to the longest term available in the base rate market. A reconciliation of the Company’s lease liabilities on an undiscounted cash flow basis for the ground lease at New City for each of the years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

	Lease Payments
2021	$	223
2022	223
2023	223
2024	223
2025	223
Thereafter	14,294
Total	$	15,409
Lease liabilities (1)	$	3,449
Undiscounted excess amount	$	11,960

(1) As of June 30, 2020, these amounts were included in other liabilities within liabilities associated with assets held for sale.

3. LIABILITY FOR ESTIMATED COSTS IN EXCESS OF ESTIMATED INCOME DURING LIQUIDATION

The liquidation basis of accounting requires the Company to accrue estimated income and costs associated with the completion of its liquidation. As a basis for its assumptions, the Company has used ~~December~~September 311, ~~2021~~2022 as the date by which it currently expects to ~~sell its remaining properties~~liquidate, although there can be no assurance that it will meet such timing. Additionally, these estimates can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing of property sales, direct costs incurred to complete the sales, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities and the costs associated with the winding up of operations. The table below summarizes changes in the liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated income between ~~July~~January 1, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (in thousands):

(1)The decrease in the net rental income is primarily due to changes in the projected sale timing of certain of the Company's properties.

4. NET ASSETS IN LIQUIDATION

The following is a reconciliation of investors’ equity under the going concern basis of accounting as of June 30, 2020 to net assets in liquidation under the liquidation basis of accounting as of July 1, 2020 (in thousands):


Total Equity as of June 30, 2020	$	1,321,734
Increase due to adjustment of net realizable value of real estate investments	426,859
Decrease due to adjustment of assets and liabilities to net realizable value	(261,535)
Liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated income during liquidation	(23,238)
Adjustment to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting	142,086
Estimated value of net assets in liquidation as of July 1, 2020	$	1,463,820

The values of the Company’s assets and liabilities ~~values~~ were adjusted from the going concern basis as June 30, 2020, to the liquidation basis as of July 1, 2020. The net increase of $142.1 million was mostly attributed to remeasuring the Company’s remaining seven properties as well as other assets and liabilities at their the net realizable value. The net realizable value of the ~~as of~~ Companies properties was based on third party appraisals and other assets and liabilities were based on their estimated net realizable value.

Changes in Net Assets

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $~~914~~219.1 million during the ~~period~~year ~~from~~ended ~~July 1, 2020 to~~ December 31, ~~2020~~2021. The reduction ~~during the period~~ is primarily due to liquidating distributions paid to ~~trustees~~investors totaling $~~905~~209.39 million or $30.4580 per share. These distributions were funded from proceeds from the sale of ~~five~~four properties with an aggregate sale price of $1433.10 ~~billion~~million.

Additionally, the estimated value of our real estate investments decreased by $318.71 million ~~between~~for ~~July~~the 1,year ~~2020~~ended ~~and~~ December 31, ~~2020~~2021, primarily due to market conditions resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. ~~The~~and ~~estimated~~its ~~liquidation~~effect ~~values~~on ofour ~~the~~one ~~Company’s~~ remaining ~~properties~~retail ~~are~~property, ~~based~~Minneapolis onRetail ~~negotiated~~Center. ~~sale~~The ~~prices~~estimated orliquidation ~~other~~value ~~market~~of ~~conditions~~this ~~and~~property ~~assumptions~~was asbased ofon ~~December~~the ~~31,~~contract ~~2020.~~sale ~~The~~price ~~net~~as ~~assets~~of ~~in liquidation at~~ December 31, ~~2020, presented on an undiscounted basis, includes five real estate investments valued at $597~~2021.2 ~~million.~~

52Lastly, during the year ended December 31, 2021, there was a $1.1 million decrease related to the remeasurement of assets and liabilities, including the estimate of costs in excess of income during liquidation.

The remaining undistributed net assets in liquidation was $330.6 million as of December 31, 2021 or approximately $1.26 per Unit. This estimate included projections as of December 31, 2021 regarding the timing of the completion of the sale of the Company’s remaining property and the amount of sales proceeds that would be generated, as well as costs and expenses to be incurred during liquidation. Since December 31, 2021, the Company sold its final remaining property and paid distributions totaling $1.22 per Unit to the unitholders. The Company’s remaining per Unit NAV was $0.04 as of March 17, 2022, which the Company expects to pay to unitholders after the Company’s wind-down is completed, later this year. There can be no certainty regarding the timing or the amount of any future distributions.

Net assets in liquidation decreased by $914.1 million during the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The reduction is primarily due to liquidating distributions paid to investors totaling $905.3 million or $3.45 per share. These distributions were funded from proceeds from the sale of five properties with an aggregate sale price of $1.1 billion.

Additionally, the estimated value of our real estate investments decreased by $31.7 million between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, primarily due to market conditions resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic. The estimated liquidation values of the Company’s remaining properties as of December 31, 2020 was based on negotiated sale prices or other market conditions and assumptions as of December 31, 2020. The net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2020, presented on an undiscounted basis, includes five real estate investments valued at $597.2 million.

Lastly, during the period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, there was a $22.9 million increase related to the remeasurement of assets and liabilities, including the estimate of costs in excess of income during liquidation.

The remaining undistributed net assets in liquidation iswas $549.7 million as of December 31, 2020 or approximately $2.09 per ~~unit~~Unit. This estimate of liquidating distributions ~~includes~~included projections of timing and amounts of the future sales, as well as costs and expenses to be incurred during liquidation ~~The actual timing and amount of these future sales proceeds may differ materially from our current projection~~. For example, the impact of potential risks, or public perception of risks, related to the recent Coronavirus pandemic could have a material impact on the liquidation value of remaining properties and timing of liquidation. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, including timing and amount of future sales proceeds, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was no amortization expense of in-place leases. Amortization expense of in-place leases was $9.9 million and $50.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, there was no amortization of out-of-market leases. Amortization of out-of-market leases resulted in an increase to rental revenue of approximately $2.7 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Leases

The Company’s leases are generally for terms of 15 years or less and may include multiple options to extend the lease term upon tenant election. The Company’s leases typically do not include an option to purchase. Generally, the Company does not expect the value of its real estate assets to be impacted materially at the end of any individual lease term, as the Company is typically able to release the space and real estate assets tend to hold their value over a long period of time. Tenant terminations prior to the lease end date occasionally result in a one-time termination fee based on the remaining unpaid lease payments including variable payments and could be material to the tenant. Many of the Company’s leases have increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In addition, the majority of the Company’s leases provide for separate billings for variable rent, such as, reimbursements of real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance and may include an amount based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Total billings related to expense reimbursements from tenants for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $20.5 million, which is included in rental revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company has entered into non-cancelable lease agreements with tenants for space. As of December 31, 2020, the approximate fixed future minimum rentals for each of the years ending December 31, 2021 through 2025 and thereafter were as follows (in thousands):34

As a result of the suspension of the distribution reinvestment plan, all distributions paid after August 31, ~~2020~~2018 have been paid to investors in cash. Additionally, the Company declared special distributions and/or liquidating distributions to date totaling $559.202 ~~million~~per Unit, each of which is described further below. In aggregate, the ~~outstanding~~Company ~~secured~~has ~~mortgage~~paid ~~loan~~total ~~was~~distributions ~~capped~~of at$15.11 aper ~~strike~~Unit ~~rate~~to our investors from the inception of 0our fund to date.~~00%.~~

~~Hines~~From ~~Credit~~2018 ~~Facility~~through March 2022, the Company paid aggregate Return of Capital Distributions or Liquidating Distributions to investors totaling approximately $9.47 per Unit, which represented a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital. These Return of Capital Distributions reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company and were made up of the following:

In September 21, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Hines, an affiliate of the Advisor, with a maximum principal amount of $35.0 million. Interest on each advance is charged monthly at a variable rate, which is Hines’ then-current borrowing rate under its revolving credit facility (the “Hines Credit Facility”). However, (i) in the event of a replacement or a refinancing of the Hines Credit Facility, interest on each advance will be charged at the rate at which Hines may then borrow funds pursuant to any such new credit facility; or (ii) if the Hines Credit Facility is terminated, the same interest rate paid by Hines under the Hines Credit Facility immediately prior to such termination. Each advance under the loan agreement must be repaid within six months, subject to one six-month extension at the option of the Company and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company may borrow amounts pursuant to the loan agreement from time to time for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The loan agreement will terminate on the earlier of (i) the termination of the availability period as determined by Hines at its discretion (which will not impact the maturity date of any outstanding or previously approved advance under the loan agreement); (ii) March 31, 2021, subject to one or more 6-month extensions; and (iii) the date Hines accelerates the repayment of the loan agreement pursuant to any event of default.

The loan agreement also permits voluntary prepayment of the principal balance and accrued interest.

The loan agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants, which include covenants concerning indebtedness to total asset value. In addition, the loan agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, prohibit the Company from: (i) merging with other companies or converting into another entity; (ii) amending its organizational documents in any material respect that would adversely affect the Company’s obligations under the loan agreement; and (iii) if in default under the loan agreement, paying distributions to unitholders. The loan agreement also requires the Company to deliver to Hines certain annual financial information.

The loan agreement contains various customary events of default, which are described therein. As is customary in such financings, if an event of default occurs under the loan agreement, Hines may accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding under the loan agreement and exercise other remedies subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of an applicable cure period.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings of $6 million and made payments of $6 million under the Hines Credit Facility. The Company has no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020 or the date of this report.

Financial Covenants

The Company's mortgage agreement and other loan documents for the debt described in the table above as outstanding as of December 31, 2020 contain customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements and bankruptcy-related defaults, and customary covenants, including limitations on liens and indebtedness and maintenance of certain financial ratios. In addition, the Company has executed customary recourse carve-out guarantees of certain obligations under its mortgage agreements and the other loan documents. The Company is not aware of any instances of noncompliance with financial covenants on any of its loans as of December 31, 2020.

Principal Payments on Debt

The Company is required to make the following principal payments on its outstanding note payable for each of the years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2025 and for the period thereafter. Amounts are in thousands:

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had entered into several interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap contracts in connection with certain of its secured mortgage loans in order to limit its exposure against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company’s interest rate swaps economically fixed the interest rates on each of the loans to which they related and the interest rate cap agreements economically limited the interest rate on each of the loans to which they related. The Company did not designate any of these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company did not enter into a master netting arrangement with its third-party counterparties and did not offset on its consolidated balance sheets the fair value amount recorded for its derivative instruments. See Note 6 — Debt Financing for additional information on the interest rate cap associated with one of the Company’s variable rate loans and Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate contracts.

The Company has also entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates related to certain cash flows of some of its international investments. These forward contracts fixed the currency exchange rates on each of the investments to which they related. The Company did not designate any of these contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

The table below provides additional information regarding the Company’s foreign currency forward contract that was outstanding as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands).

8. DISTRIBUTIONS

As described previously, the Company declared distributions of $0.70 per Unit, per year for the period from October 2009 through December 2011 and $0.65 per Unit, per year from January 2012 through December 2018 totaling $6.09 per Unit in aggregate. Approximately $0.45 per Unit of these distributions declared for the year ended December 31, 2018 were designated as a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital as described further below. Further, on July 17, 2018, in connection with the investor approval of the Plan of Liquidation, the board of directors determined to suspend indefinitely the distribution reinvestment plan effective as of August 31, 2018. As a result of the suspension of the distribution reinvestment plan, all distributions paid after August 31, 2018 have been paid to investors in cash.

From 2018 through 2020, the Company paid aggregate Return of Capital Distributions or Liquidating Distributions to investors totaling approximately $7.45 per Unit, which represented a return of a portion of the investors’ invested capital. These Return of Capital Distributions reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company and were made up of the following:

•a $1.05 per Unit special distribution (the “Special Distribution”) declared to all investors of record as of December 30, 2017 and paid in January 2018. The Special Distribution was funded with a portion of the net proceeds received from the strategic sale of six assets during 2017.

•Approximately $0.33 per Unit resulting from the monthly liquidating distributions declared for the months of July 2018 through December 2018 ($0.0541667 per share, per month), which were designated as liquidating distributions and, as such, reduced the investors’ remaining investment in the Company.

Summit Development Agreement

In March 2019, the Company entered into a Development Management Agreement with Hines, the Company’s sponsor, for the construction and development of an office building at the Summit in Bellevue, Washington. Hines was paid a project administration fee equal to 2.5% of the qualified construction costs. In December 2019, The Summit, including the office building in development, was sold and the Company was no longer a party to this agreement.

The WaterWall Place JV

In December 2011, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement with an affiliate of Hines for the formation of the WaterWall Place JV, for the purpose of developing a residential/living project in Houston, Texas. Hines serves as the initial general partner and as the development partner and the subsidiary of the Operating Partnership is the initial limited partner. The Company had owned a 93 % interest in this joint venture. An affiliate of Hines owned the remaining 7% interest in this joint venture. In September 2018, the WaterWall Place JV sold WaterWall Place. See Note 5 — Investment Property for information regarding the sale.

Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company is required to pay the following fees and expense reimbursements:

Asset Management Fee – For the periods through June 30, 2020, the Advisor received an asset management fee equal to 0.125% per month of the net equity capital invested by the Company in real estate investments as of the end of each month. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trust assumed the Company’s interest in the Advisory Agreement, dated August 3, 2009 (as amended, the “Advisory Agreement”), by and among the Company, Hines Global REIT Advisors LP (the “Advisor”) and Hines Global REIT Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”). On June 30, 2020, immediately following the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Trust, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “A&R Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Advisory Agreement, the Advisor agreed to reduce the annual asset management fee payable under the Advisory agreement by 25% from 1.50% to 1.125% of net equity invested in real estate investments, reflecting the Advisor’s continued commitment to the investors as the Trust works toward completion of the liquidation of the Company’s former assets.

60Disposition Fee – The Advisor or its affiliates were paid a disposition fee of 1.0% of the sales price of any real estate investments sold or 1.0% of the Company’s pro rata share of the sales price with respect to the Company’s indirect investments. The Company’s disposition fees related to the sales of wholly-owned properties are included in the Gain (loss) on sale of real estate investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (loss).

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred asset management fees of $10.8 million, $26.4 million and $34.3 million, respectively. Additionally, after the conversion to the Liquidating Trust in June 2020, the Company incurred additional asset management fees of $5.1 million for a total of $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Disposition Fee – The Advisor or its affiliates also will be paid a disposition fee of 1.0% of the sales price of any real estate investments sold or 1.0% of the Company’s pro rata share of the sales price with respect to the Company’s indirect investments. The Company’s disposition fees related to the sales of wholly-owned properties are included in the Gain (loss) on sale of real estate investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (loss).

Special OP Units – Hines Global REIT Associates Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Hines, owns the special units of the Operating Partnership (“Special OP Units”), which entitle them to receive distributions in an amount equal to 15% of distributions, including from sales of real estate investments, refinancings and other sources, but only after the Company’s investors have received, or are deemed to have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their invested capital plus an 8.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual pre-tax return on such invested capital. It is not expected that this hurdle will be achieved and therefore no distributions will be paid to the holder of the Special OP Units.

The Company reimburses the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company.

Property Management and Leasing Agreements

The Company ~~pays~~paid Hines fees for the management and leasing of some of its properties. Property management fees ~~are~~were equal to a market-based percentage of the gross revenues of the properties managed by Hines or the amount of property management fees recoverable from tenants of the properties managed by Hines under their leases. In addition, if Hines ~~provides~~provided leasing services with respect to a property, the Company ~~will~~paid ~~pay~~ Hines leasing fees which are usual and customary for that type of property in that geographic area. The Company generally ~~will~~was be required to reimburse Hines for certain operating costs incurred in providing property management and leasing services pursuant to the property management and leasing agreements. Included in this reimbursement of operating costs ~~will~~was be the cost of personnel and overhead expenses related to such personnel located at the property as well as off-site personnel located in Hines’ headquarters and regional offices, to the extent the same ~~relate~~related to or ~~support~~supported the performance of Hines’ duties under the agreement.

~~Hines~~From ~~may~~time ~~perform~~to time, Hines performed construction management services for the Company for both re-development activities and tenant construction. These fees are considered incremental to the construction effort and ~~will~~were be capitalized to the associated real estate project as incurred. Costs related to tenant construction ~~will~~were be depreciated over the estimated useful life. Costs related to redevelopment activities ~~will~~were be depreciated over the estimated useful life of the associated project. Leasing activities ~~will~~were generally be performed by Hines on the Company’s behalf. Leasing fees ~~will~~were be capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease. Generally, as compensation for providing development management services, Hines ~~will~~was be paid a fee equal to 3% of the development project costs and as compensation for providing construction management services, an affiliate of Hines ~~also~~was ~~will be~~ paid a contractor’s fee of 5% of the total construction costs of the project.

Fees for Other Services

The Company retains certain of the Advisor’s affiliates, from time to time, for services relating to the Company’s investments or operations, which may include corporate services, statutory services, transaction support services (including but not limited to coordinating with brokers, lawyers, accountants and other advisors, assembling relevant information, conducting financial and market analyses, and coordinating closing procedures) and loan management and servicing, and within one or more such categories, providing services in respect of asset and/or investment administration, accounting, technology, tax preparation, finance (including but not limited to budget preparation and preparation and maintenance of corporate models), treasury, operational coordination, risk management, insurance placement, human resources, legal and compliance, valuation and reporting-related services, as well as services related to mortgage servicing, group purchasing, healthcare, consulting/brokerage, capital markets/credit origination, property, title and/or other types of insurance, management consulting and other similar operational matters. Any fees paid to the Advisor’s affiliates for any such services ~~will~~did not reduce the asset management fee otherwise payable to the Advisor. Any such arrangements will be at market rates.

619. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - Going Concern Basis

10. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS - Going Concern Basis

In December 2011, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement with an affiliate of Hines for the formation of Hines One WaterWall Holdings LP (the “WaterWall Place JV”), a Delaware limited liability company, for the purpose of developing a residential/living project in Houston, Texas. Hines serves as the initial general partner and as the development partner and the subsidiary of the Operating Partnership is the initial limited partner. The Company has a 93 % interest in this joint venture. An affiliate of Hines owns the remaining 7% interest in this joint venture. The WaterWall Place JV declared distributions to the noncontrolling interest partner for the years ended December 31, 2018 of $11.8 million. The distributions in the year ended December 31, 2018 include distributions declared as a result of the sale of WaterWall Place in September 2018.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

The Company entered into several interest rate contracts as economic hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties, Bank Zachnodni WBK and ING Capital Markets. In adjusting the fair values of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company ~~has~~ assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and ~~has~~ determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuations of its derivatives. As a result, the Company ~~has~~ determined its derivative valuations ~~are~~were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Additionally, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. The valuation of these forward contracts is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including currency exchange rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company has determined its foreign currency forward contracts valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are based on observable inputs but are not traded in active markets.

Financial Instruments Fair Value Disclosures

As of June 30, 2020, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value (excluding any unamortized discount or premium and deferred financing costs) of $222.6 million, was $222.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company estimated that the fair value of its notes payable, which had a book value (excluding any unamortized discount or premium) of $537.8 million, was $538.0 million. Management has utilized available market information, such as interest rate and spread assumptions of notes payable with similar terms and remaining maturities, to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its notes payable fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit quality adjustments associated with its fair value of notes payable utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit quality adjustments on the overall valuations of its fair market value of notes payable and has determined that they are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed values could be realized.

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable. The carrying value of these items reasonably approximates their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and Level 2 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of the remaining financial instruments.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments (i.e., impairments) in certain circumstances. The fair value methodologies used to measure long-lived assets are described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Investment Property and Lease Intangibles. The inputs associated with the valuation of long-lived assets are generally included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as discussed below.

Impairment of Investment Property

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company determined that three of its remaining properties were impaired by $18.6 million based on such assets having carrying values that exceeded their estimated sales price less costs to sell based on the offers received (level 2 inputs).

As a result of the Company’s remaining real estate properties meeting the criteria to be classified as held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that six of its remaining properties were impaired by $115.4 million based on such assets having carrying values that exceeded their estimated sales price less costs to sell based on the offers received (level 2 inputs) and third party broker consultations (level 3 inputs), which were obtained in conjunction with its marketing process. Of this amount, $46.9 million is attributable to the requirement when real estate properties are classified as held for sale to include cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments (“cumulative CTA”) in the carrying value for two of the Company’s foreign denominated assets within the impairment tests in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

Prior to designating its properties as held for sale, investment properties were reviewed for impairment at each reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that one of its properties was impaired by $7.2 million as a result of deteriorating market conditions and valued it using level 3 inputs. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined that three of its properties (two of which were measured using executed purchase and sale agreements which are considered level 2 inputs, and one of which was measured using level 3 inputs) were impaired as a result of deteriorating market conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that one of its properties was impaired as a result of deteriorating market conditions.

63The changes in assumptions resulted in the net book value of the assets exceeding the projected undiscounted cash flows for the property. As a result, the assets were written down to fair value. The following table summarizes activity for the Company’s assets measured at fair value, on a non-recurring basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and year ended December 31, 2019 (in thousands).

The Company’s estimated fair value of the investment properties measured using level 3 inputs were based on comparisons of recent market activity and discounted cash flow models, which include estimates of property-specific inflows and outflows over a specific holding period. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of the investment property for the period ended December 31, 2019 include: a discount rate of 8.80%; a capitalization rate of 6.50%; stabilized occupancy rate of 91.7%; and current market rental rates ranging from $12.00 to $47.00 per square foot. These inputs are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, and management’s knowledge and expertise in real estate.

1210. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS - Going Concern Basis

Prior to the conversion to the Liquidating Trust in June 2020, management viewed each of its real estate investments as an operating segment and aggregated them into four reportable segments based on the location of the segment and the underlying asset class. Subsequent to the conversion to the Liquidating Trust, the Company’s business has been, and will continue to be, to sell its assets in an orderly fashion. ~~Although~~and ~~the~~therefore ~~Company still holds five real estate investments,~~ it ~~will~~determined to no longer make operating decisions or assess performance in separate segments ~~as all assets are expected to be sold in the near term~~. Accordingly, the Company has only one reporting and operating segment subsequent to June 30, 2020.

Listed below is information regarding the Company’s reportable segments for periods prior to the conversion to the Liquidating Trust:

•Domestic other investments (4 investments)

•International office investments (3 investments)

The Company has also owned properties in the Domestic Office and International Other segments in prior periods, which were sold prior to June 30, 2020.

The tables below provide additional information related to each of the Company’s segments, geographic location and a reconciliation to the Company’s net income (loss), as applicable. “Corporate-Level Accounts” includes amounts incurred by the corporate-level entities which are not allocated to any of the reportable segments (all amounts are in thousands, except for percentages):

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our system of internal controls over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control system as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021 was based on the framework for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, as of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts non-accelerated filers from the auditor attestation requirement of section 404 (b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

March 31, ~~2021~~2022

Change in Internal Controls

No changes have occurred in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Subsequent to the formation of the Liquidating Trust on June 30, 2020, our independent trustees were paid a pro rata portion of an annual retainer of $50,000. Additionally, subsequent to June 30, 2020, there were no committees of our Board and, accordingly, no additional committee retainers or fees were paid thereafter.

All trustees are reimbursed by us for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board or committee meetings.

Audit Committee

We do not have an audit committee or other committee that performs similar functions and, consequently, have not designated an audit committee financial expert. Due to our limited operations and level of activity, which primarily consists of the leasing and sale of the remaining assets and the payment of outstanding obligations, our trustees believe that the services of an audit committee financial expert are not warranted.

Trustee Nominations

We currently do not provide any procedure for our investors to recommend nominees to our Board.

Executive Compensation

We have no employees. Our day-to-day management functions are performed by our Advisor and its affiliates. All of our executive officers are employed by and receive compensation from our Advisor or its affiliates, for all of their services to the Hines organization, including their service as our executive officers. The compensation received by our executive officers is not paid or determined by us, but rather by our Advisor or affiliates of our Advisor based on all the services provided by these individuals to the Hines organization, including us. As a result, we do not have and our compensation committee has not considered, a compensation policy or program for our executive officers and have not included a “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” or “Compensation Committee Report” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” for a discussion of fees and expenses payable to our Advisor and its affiliates.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

~~For~~Subsequent to the ~~six~~formation ~~months ended June 30, 2020, our Compensation Committee consisted~~ of ~~Messrs. Farley, Mitchell, Moody and Shaper, our four independent directors. None of our executive officers served as a director or member of~~ the ~~compensation~~Liquidating ~~committee~~Trust ofon ~~an entity whose executive officers included a member of our Board or Compensation Committee. Following~~ June 30, 2020, when Hines Global REIT, Inc. transferred all of its assets and liabilities to us, we no longer have a Compensation Committee. The functions of the Compensation Committee are now administered by our independent trustees.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our board of trustees has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to our trustees and officers, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and other persons performing similar functions, whether acting in their capacities as our officers or in their capacities as officers of our Advisor or its general partner. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers topics including conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information, full and fair disclosure, reporting of violations and compliance with laws and regulations. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available, free of charge, on the Corporate Governance section of our website, www.hinessecurities.com/hgrliquidatingtrust. You may also obtain a copy of this code by writing to: Hines Global REIT Investor Relations, 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Suite 5000, Houston, Texas 77056-6118. Waivers from our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are discouraged, but any waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that relate to any executive officer or director must be approved by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and will be posted on our website at www.hinessecurities.com/hgrliquidatingtrust within four business days of any such waiver.

We do not have employees. Subject to the supervision of our board of trustees, our day-to-day operations are conducted by our Advisor in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. Our Advisor is an affiliate of Hines and is wholly-owned, indirectly, by, or for the benefit of, Jeffrey C. Hines, one of our trustees. All of our executive officers are employed by, and all of our executive officers actively participate in, the management of our Advisor and its affiliates. Jeffrey C. Hines serves as the Chairman of the Managers of the general partner of our Advisor and Charles M. Baughn ~~serves~~and asDavid aL. ~~Manager~~Steinbach serve as Managers of the general partner of our Advisor.

Our executive officers have control and primary responsibility for the management decisions of our Advisor, including the disposition of properties to be recommended to our Board, the negotiations for these dispositions, and the property management and leasing of properties remaining in our portfolio. The Advisory Agreement was entered into as of June 30, 2020, and shall continue in force throughout the duration of our existence and shall terminate as of the date of our termination. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated with cause immediately by us or by our Advisor. For the period from January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, the Advisor, the Operating Partnership and Hines Global were parties to the Prior Advisory Agreement, as defined in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Advisor and its affiliates receive compensation and are reimbursed for certain expenses in connection with services provided to us. These payments are summarized below. In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated, our Advisor will be paid all earned, accrued and unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements within 30 days. Upon termination, we may also be obligated to purchase certain ownership interests owned by our Advisor or other affiliates of Hines under certain circumstances.

The following summarizes fees our Advisor earned under the Advisory Agreement and the Prior Advisory Agreement during ~~2020~~2021:

•Under the ~~Prior~~ Advisory Agreement, we ~~paid~~pay our Advisor ~~from January 2020 through June 30, 2020~~ a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.125% of the net equity capital we had invested in real estate investments at the end of each month. Beginning July 2020, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the monthly asset management fee paid to our Advisor decreased to 0.09375% of the net equity capital we have invested in real estate investments at the end of each month. The Advisor earned $156.94 million in asset management fees during the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021.

•Under the ~~Prior~~ Advisory Agreement ~~and the Advisory Agreement~~, we pay our Advisor a disposition fee equal to 1.0% of (i) the sales price of any real estate investments sold, held directly by us, or (ii) when we hold investments indirectly through another entity, our pro rata share of the sales price of the real estate investment sold by that entity. The Advisor earned $114.14 million in disposition fees during the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 related to the sale of ~~five~~four of our properties.

•Likewise, under the ~~Prior~~ Advisory Agreement ~~and the Advisory Agreement~~, we may reimburse our Advisor and its affiliates for certain expenses they incur in connection with administrative and operating services they provide to us. In ~~2020~~2021, our Advisor incurred $14.9 million in expenses, such as general and administrative expenses, on our behalf, which were reimbursed by us. See “Hines - Property Management Agreements” below for additional information concerning expense reimbursements to Hines.

We also agreed to indemnify our Advisor against losses it incurs in connection with its performance of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, subject to terms and conditions in the Advisory Agreement.

Hines

Property Management Agreements

Hines or its affiliates ~~manage~~managed some of our properties. We ~~pay~~paid Hines property management fees, leasing fees, tenant construction fees and other fees customarily paid to a property manager. Hines is wholly-owned by Jeffrey C. Hines.

During the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021, Hines earned the following amounts pursuant to property management agreements under which Hines ~~manages~~managed some of our properties:

•$1.92 million in property management fees;

•$0.35 million in leasing commissions; and

Ownership Interests

The Operating Partnership

We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned a 99.99 % interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, ~~2020~~2021. Hines Global REIT Associates Limited Partnership, an affiliate of Jeffrey C. Hines, owned a 0.01 % interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, ~~2020~~2021. An affiliate of Jeffrey C. Hines also owns 1,111.111 shares of our common units.

Policies and Procedures for Review of Related Party Transactions

Potential conflicts of interest exist among us, Hines, our Advisor and other affiliates of Hines in relation to our existing agreements and how we will operate. Currently, four of our seven trustees are independent trustees. The board of trustees reviews and approves all matters it believes may involve conflicts of interest.

The board of trustees also must review and approve any transaction between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and any trustee (including any independent trustee) or the trustee’s affiliates or related persons on the other hand. All related party transactions must be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of trustees. Any related party agreement or arrangements must be on terms no less favorable to us than those available to us in similar agreements or arrangements with unaffiliated third parties.

Trustee Independence

Our board of trustees has determined that each of our independent trustees is independent within the meaning of the applicable (i) provisions set forth in our Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which defines an independent trustee as: a person who is not on the date of determination, and within the two years prior to the date of determination has not been, directly or indirectly associated with the Advisor by virtue of (i) ownership of an interest in the Advisor or any of its affiliates, (ii) employment by the Advisor or any of its affiliates, (iii) service as an officer or director of the Advisor or any of its affiliates, (iv) performance of services, other than as a director or trustee, for Hines Global or the Trust, (v) service as a director or trustee of more than three real estate investment trusts organized by or advised by any affiliate of the Advisor, or (vi) maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with the Advisor or any of its affiliates.

A business or professional relationship is considered “material” if the aggregate gross revenue derived by the trustee from the Advisor and its affiliates exceeds five percent of either the trustee’s annual gross revenue during either of the last two years or the trustee’s net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect association with the Advisor shall include circumstances in which a trustee’s spouse, parent, child, sibling, mother- or father-in-law, son- or daughter-in-law or brother- or sister-in-law is or has been associated with the Advisor, any of its affiliates, the Trust or Hines Global.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
