ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Completion of Merger

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2020, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (the “Company” or “POSOR II”), Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“POSOR I”), and Pacific Oak SOR II, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of POSOR I (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on February 19, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”).

As described under Item 5.07 below, on October 1, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the Merger (as defined herein) contemplated by the Merger Agreement at the Special Meeting (as defined below).

On October 5, 2020, the Company merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as an indirect subsidiary of POSOR I (the “Merger”). At such time, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Maryland Limited Liability Company Act, the separate existence of the Company ceased.

At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (or a fraction thereof), $0.01 par value per share (the “POSOR II Common Stock”), converted into 0.9643 shares of POSOR I’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “POSOR I Common Stock”).

The combined company after the Merger retains the name “Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.” The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the advisory agreement between POSOR II and the Advisor (the “POSOR II Advisory Agreement”) was terminated at the effective time of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Termination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.03 MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

As a result of and at the effective time of the Merger, holders of POSOR II Common Stock immediately prior to such time ceased having any rights as stockholders of the Company (other than their right to receive 0.9643 shares of POSOR I Common Stock per share under the Merger Agreement).

The information set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company ceased to exist and Merger Sub continued as the surviving corporation. All members of the board of directors of the Company ceased to be directors at the effective time of the Merger by operation of the Merger. The departure of the directors was in connection with the Merger and was not due to any disagreement or dispute with the Company on any matter.

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

On October 1, 2020, at the Special Meeting (as defined below), the Company’s stockholders approved Articles of Amendment to the charter of the Company (the “Articles of Amendment”) to remove certain provisions related “Roll-Up Transactions” (and the associated definitions) from the Company’s charter. For a further description of the Articles of Amendment, please refer to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company with the SEC on July 20, 2020.

On October 2, 2020, the Company filed the Articles of Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, and the Articles of Amendment became effective upon filing. A copy of the Articles of Amendment is included as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.07 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On October 1, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which its stockholders were asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to approve the Merger (the “Merger Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to approve the amendment of the charter of the Company to remove the provisions related to “Roll-Up Transactions” in connection with the Merger (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Merger Proposal and/or the Charter Amendment Proposal if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal and/or the Charter Amendment Proposal, if necessary and as determined by the chair of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The Company previously filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and related materials pertaining to the Special Meeting, which describe in detail each of the proposals submitted to the Company’s stockholders to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

At the Special Meeting, there were present, in person or by proxy, stockholders holding an aggregate of approximately 17,198,259 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 57.2% of the total number of 30,063,749 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of July 14, 2020, the record date for the Special Meeting, and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
