1. ORGANIZATION

KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and it intends to continue to operate in such manner. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through KBS Limited Partnership III (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. KBS REIT Holdings III LLC (“REIT Holdings III”), the limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings III.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company is externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company entered into with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). On January 26, 2010, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock to the Advisor at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. As of March 31, 2023, the Advisor owned 20,857 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company owns a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. As of March 31, 2023, the Company owned 16 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of Prime US REIT, a Singapore real estate investment trust (the “SREIT”).
The Company commenced its initial public offering (the “Offering”) on October 26, 2010. Upon commencing the Offering, the Company retained KBS Capital Markets Group LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Company, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, as amended and restated (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in the primary Offering on May 29, 2015 and terminated the primary Offering on July 28, 2015.
The Company sold 169,006,162 shares of common stock in the primary Offering for gross proceeds of $1.7 billion. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had also sold 45,125,410 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $462.5 million. Also as of March 31, 2023, the Company had redeemed or repurchased 73,620,252 shares sold in the Offering for $780.0 million.
Additionally, on October 3, 2014, the Company issued 258,462 shares of common stock for $2.4 million in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company continues to offer shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan. In some states, the Company will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue its dividend reinvestment plan offering. The Company may terminate its dividend reinvestment plan offering at any time.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings III, the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and condensed notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Per Share Data
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Distributions declared per common share were $0.115 and $0.149 in the aggregate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day that was a record date for distributions and were based on a monthly record date for each month during the periods commencing January 2022 through March 2022 and January 2023 through March 2023. For each monthly record date for distributions during the period from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.04983333 per share. For each monthly record date for distributions during the period from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.03833333 per share.
Segments
The Company has invested in core real estate properties and real estate-related investments with the goal of acquiring a portfolio of income-producing investments. The Company’s real estate properties exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics to each other. Accordingly, the Company aggregated its investments in real estate properties into one reportable business segment.

Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Square footage, occupancy, number of tenants and other measures, including annualized base rent and annualized base rent per square foot, used to describe real estate investments included in these condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU No. 2020-04”) to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Modified contracts that meet the following criteria are eligible for relief from the modification accounting requirements under GAAP: (1) the contract references LIBOR or another rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform, (2) the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace the reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform, and (3) any contemporaneous changes to other terms (i.e., those that do not directly replace or have the potential to replace the reference rate) that change or have the potential to change the amount and timing of contractual cash flows must be related to the replacement of the reference rate. For a contract that meets the criteria, the guidance generally allows an entity to account for and present modifications as an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. That is, the modified contract is accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract. In addition, ASU No. 2020-04 provides various optional expedients for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-04 are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, to extend the temporary accounting relief provided under ASU No. 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in ASU No. 2020-04 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020.
For eligible contract modifications that were modified from LIBOR to SOFR, the Company adopted the temporary optional expedients described in ASU No. 2020-04. The optional expedients for hedging relationships described in ASU No. 2020-04 are not expected to have an impact to the Company as the Company has elected not to designate its derivative instruments as a hedge.

3. REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)
Operating Leases
The Company’s office and office/retail properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of March 31, 2023, the leases, including leases that have been executed but not yet commenced, had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 16.2 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 5.8 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the term of the leases, options for early termination for all or a part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $9.6 million and $9.3 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cumulative deferred rent balance was $93.9 million and $89.9 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $17.6 million and $17.3 million of unamortized lease incentives as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties under its non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):
April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023$149,983

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s office and office/retail properties were leased to approximately 560 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:

3. REAL ESTATE (CONTINUED)
As of March 31, 2023, no other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent and no tenant accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s net investments in real estate in California, Illinois and Texas represented 22.5%, 18.5% and 16.5% of the Company’s total assets, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California, Illinois and Texas real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
Impairment of Real Estate
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $27.0 million to write down the carrying value of 201 Spear Street (located in San Francisco, California) to its estimated fair value as a result of continued market uncertainty due to rising interest rates, increased vacancy rates as a result of slow return to office in San Francisco and declining values of comparable sales in the market, all of which impacted ongoing cash flow estimates and leasing projections, which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows to be lower than the net carrying value of the property. As of March 31, 2023, 201 Spear Street was 65.1% occupied. The Company is projecting longer lease-up periods for the vacant space, and increased tenant turnover for currently occupied space, as demand for office space in San Francisco has significantly declined as a result of the continued work-from-home arrangements, which increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the economic slowdown and the current rising interest rate environment. The Company did not record any non-cash impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

5. REAL ESTATE EQUITY SECURITIES
Investment in Prime US REIT
In connection with the Company’s sale of 11 properties to the SREIT on July 18, 2019 (the “Singapore Portfolio”), on July 19, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (“REIT Properties III”), acquired 307,953,999 units in the SREIT at a price of $271.0 million, or $0.88 per unit, representing a 33.3% ownership interest in the SREIT (such transactions, the “Singapore Transaction”). On August 21, 2019, REIT Properties III sold 18,392,100 of its units in the SREIT for $16.2 million pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of the SREIT’s offering, reducing REIT Properties III’s ownership in the SREIT to 31.3% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date. On November 9, 2021, REIT Properties III sold 73,720,000 of its units in the SREIT for $58.9 million, net of fees and costs, reducing REIT Properties III’s ownership in the SREIT to 18.5% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date. As of March 31, 2023, REIT Properties III held 215,841,899 units of the SREIT which represented 18.2% of the outstanding units of the SREIT. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate book value and fair value of the Company’s investment in the units of the SREIT was $69.1 million, which was based on the closing price of the SREIT units on the SGX-ST of $0.320 per unit as of March 31, 2023.
On November 9, 2021, upon the Company’s sale of 73,720,000 units in the SREIT, the Company determined that based on its ownership interest of 18.5% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date, it no longer had significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the SREIT. Accordingly, effective November 9, 2021, the Company’s investment in the units of the SREIT represent an investment in marketable securities and is therefore presented at fair value at each reporting date based on the closing price of the SREIT units on the SGX-ST on that date and dividend income is recognized as it is declared based on eligible units as of the ex-dividend date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $6.5 million and $7.3 million of dividend income from its investment in the SREIT, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on real estate equity securities of $18.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively.

(9) Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”).
(10) As of March 31, 2023, the Park Place Village Mortgage Loan has two 12-month extension options, subject to certain terms, conditions and fees as described in the loan documents. Monthly payments are interest only during the initial term and the first extension option. During the second extension option, certain future monthly payments due under the Park Place Village Mortgage Loan also include amortizing principal payments.
The maturity dates of certain notes payable may be extended beyond their current maturity dates; however, the extension options are subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents some of which are more stringent than the Company’s current loan compliance tests. As a result, in order to qualify for certain loan extensions, the Company may be required to reduce the loan commitment amount or make paydowns on certain loans, which would reduce the Company’s liquidity. Additionally, continued increases in interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on the Company’s ability to meet such tests and may further reduce the available liquidity under the Company’s loan agreements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s interest expense related to notes payable was $26.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, which excludes the impact of interest rate swaps and caps put in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. See Note 7, “Derivative Instruments.” Included in interest expense was the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $8.9 million and $8.0 million of interest expense were payable, respectively.
The following is a schedule of maturities, including principal amortization payments, for all notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero.
The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has entered into 20 interest rate swaps and one interest rate cap, which were not designated as hedging instruments. The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s interest rate swaps and interest rate cap as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The notional amount is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands):

8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using a combination of market quotes, pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. The Company evaluates several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Real estate equity securities: At March 31, 2023, the Company’s investment in the units of the SREIT was presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the units of the SREIT was based on a quoted price in an active market on a major stock exchange. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 1 inputs.
Derivative instruments: The Company’s derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, the Company classifies these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit risks to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. The fair value of interest rate caps (floors) are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments (receipts) which would occur if variable interest rates rise above (below) the strike rate of the caps (floors). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected payments (receipts) on the cap (floors) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves and volatilities.

8. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)
Notes payable: The fair values of the Company’s notes payable are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company measures fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. The Company classifies these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
The following were the face values, carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s notes payable as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which carrying amounts generally do not approximate the fair values (in thousands):

Disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to the Company as of the period end and requires a significant amount of judgment. Low levels of transaction volume for certain financial instruments have made the estimation of fair values difficult and, therefore, both the actual results and the Company’s estimate of value at a future date could be materially different.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company, together with KBS REIT II, KBS Growth & Income REIT, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, had entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage were shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. In June 2022, the Company renewed its participation in the program, and the program is effective through June 30, 2023. At renewal on June 30, 2022, due to its liquidation, KBS REIT II elected to cease participation in the program and obtained separate insurance coverage.

_____________________
(1) See “Asset Management Fees” below.
(2) Reimbursable operating expenses primarily consists of internal audit personnel costs, accounting software costs and cybersecurity related expenses incurred by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. These amounts totaled $25,000 and $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were the only type of employee costs reimbursed under the Advisory Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company currently does not reimburse for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition or origination fees or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) and other than future payments pursuant to the Bonus Retention Fund (see below, “--Asset Management Fees”), the Company does not reimburse the Advisor for the salaries or benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers and affiliated directors. In addition to the amounts above, the Company reimburses the Advisor for certain of the Company’s direct costs incurred from third parties that were initially paid by the Advisor on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was charged $0.8 million by certain vendors for services for which the Company believes it was either overcharged or which were never performed. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $1.6 million of legal and accounting costs related to the investigation of this matter. The Advisor agreed to reimburse the Company for any amounts inappropriately charged to the Company for these vendor services, including legal and accounting costs incurred related to the investigation of this matter. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded a receivable of $0.3 million related to the reimbursement of these overpayments and also recorded a credit against the liability for asset management fees that were deferred in prior periods of $0.5 million that would have been due by the Company to the Advisor in those periods as a result of the increase in the Company’s net income and MFFO for such periods, and corresponding decrease in expenses, related to the charges that the Company should not have incurred. As of December 31, 2022, the Advisor had reimbursed the Company $1.9 million in cash for amounts inappropriately charged to the Company and for legal and accounting costs related to the investigation of this matter and the Company recorded an additional receivable of $2,000 and $10,000 from the Advisor as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for this matter.
In connection with the Offering, Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber agreed to provide additional indemnification to one of the participating broker-dealers.  The Company agreed to add supplemental coverage to its directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to insure Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber’s obligations under this indemnification agreement in exchange for reimbursement by Messrs. Bren, Hall, McMillan and Schreiber to the Company for all costs, expenses and premiums related to this supplemental coverage. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Advisor did not incur any costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by the Company.

Asset Management Fees
For asset management services, the Company pays the Advisor a monthly fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excludes acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment (but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor). With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto, but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to the Advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to the Advisor), as of the time of calculation. The Company currently does not pay any asset management fees in connection with the Company’s investment in the equity securities of the SREIT.
Notwithstanding the foregoing on November 8, 2022, the Company and the Advisor renewed the Advisory Agreement and amended certain provisions related to the payment of asset management fees (the “Renewed Advisory Agreement”), among other provisions. Pursuant to the Renewed Advisory Agreement, commencing with asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022, the Company pays $1.15 million of the monthly asset management fee to the Advisor in cash and the Company deposits the remainder of the monthly asset management fee into an interest bearing account in the Company’s name, which amounts will be paid to the Advisor from such account solely as reimbursement for payments made by the Advisor pursuant to the Advisor’s employee retention program (such account, the “Bonus Retention Fund”). The Bonus Retention Fund was established in order to incentivize and retain key employees of the Advisor. The Company will be deemed to have fully funded the Bonus Retention Fund once the Company has deposited $8.5 million in cash into such account, at which time the monthly asset management fee will be payable in full to the Advisor. The Advisor has acknowledged and agreed that payments by the Advisor to employees under the Advisor’s employee retention program that are reimbursed by the Company from the Bonus Retention Fund will be conditioned on (a) the Company’s liquidation and dissolution; (b) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of the Company in which (i) the Company is not the surviving entity and (ii) the Advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; (c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (d) the non-renewal or termination of the Renewed Advisory Agreement without cause; or (e) the termination of the employee without cause. To the extent the Bonus Retention Fund is not fully paid out to employees as set forth above, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that the residual amount will be deemed additional Deferred Asset Management Fees (defined below) and be treated in accordance with the provisions for payment of Deferred Asset Management Fees. Two of the Company’s executive officers, Jeff Waldvogel and Stacie Yamane, and one of the Company’s directors, Marc DeLuca, participate in and have been allocated awards under the Advisor’s employee retention program, which awards would only be paid as set forth above. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has deposited $3.3 million of restricted cash into the Bonus Retention Fund and the Company had not made any payments to the Advisor from the Bonus Retention Fund.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Prior to entering the Renewed Advisory Agreement, the Advisory Agreement had provided that with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, the Advisor would defer, without interest, the Company’s obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by the Company, excluding asset management fees, did not exceed the amount of distributions declared by the Company for record dates of that month. The Company remained obligated to pay the Advisor an asset management fee in any month in which the Company’s MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeded the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus was deferred under the Advisory Agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeded the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus was applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the Advisory Agreement.
Pursuant to the Renewed Advisory Agreement, asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022 are no longer subject to the deferral provision described above. Asset management fees that remained deferred as of September 30, 2022 are “Deferred Asset Management Fees.” As of September 30, 2022, Deferred Asset Management Fees totaled $8.5 million. The Renewed Advisory Agreement also provides that the Company remains obligated to pay the Advisor outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in any month to the extent that MFFO for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, a “RMFFO Surplus”); provided however, that any amount of outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in excess of the RMFFO Surplus will continue to be deferred.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $11.8 million and $10.2 million of asset management fees, respectively, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and $3.3 million and $1.7 million were related to asset management fees that were restricted for payment and deposited in the Bonus Retention Fund as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Consistent with the prior Advisory Agreement, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as the Company’s stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of the Company’s stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for the Advisor to receive Deferred Asset Management Fees.
In addition, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will also be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of:
(i)    a listing of the Company’s shares of common stock on a national securities exchange;
(ii)    the Company’s liquidation and dissolution;
(iii)    a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of the Company in which (y) the Company is not the surviving entity and (z) the Advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; and
(iv)    the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The Renewed Advisory Agreement has a term expiring on September 27, 2023 but may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Company and the Advisor. The Renewed Advisory Agreement may be terminated (i) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty by either the Company (acting through the conflicts committee) or the Advisor or (ii) immediately by the Company for cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor. If the Renewed Advisory Agreement is terminated without cause, then the Advisor will be entitled to receive from the Company any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees, provided that upon such non-renewal or termination the Company does not retain an advisor in which the Advisor or its affiliates have a majority interest. Upon termination of the Renewed Advisory Agreement, all unpaid Deferred Asset Management Fees will automatically be forfeited by the Advisor, and if the Renewed Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause, any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees will also automatically be forfeited by the Advisor.
Lease to Affiliate
On May 29, 2015, the indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Lessor”) of the Company that owns 3003 Washington Boulevard entered into a lease with an affiliate of the Advisor (the “Lessee”) for 5,046 rentable square feet, or approximately 2.4% of the total rentable square feet, at 3003 Washington Boulevard. The lease commenced on October 1, 2015 and was amended on March 14, 2019 (the “Amended Lease”) to extend the lease period commencing on September 1, 2019 and terminating on August 31, 2024 and set the annual base rent during the extension period. The annualized base rent from the commencement of the Amended Lease is approximately $0.3 million, and the average annual rental rate (net of rental abatements) over the term of the Amended Lease through its termination is $62.55 per square foot.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $83,000 and $83,000 of revenue related to this lease, respectively.
Prior to their approval of the lease and the Amended Lease, the Company’s conflicts committee and board of directors determined the lease to be fair and reasonable to the Company.
Portfolio Sale
On July 18, 2019, the Company sold the Singapore Portfolio to the SREIT, which is affiliated with Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., a director and executive officer of the Company. See Note 5, “Real Estate Equity Securities” for information related to the Company’s investment in the SREIT. The SREIT is externally managed by an entity (the “Manager”) in which Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. currently holds an indirect ownership interest. Mr. Schreiber is also a former director of the Manager. The SREIT pays the Manager an annual base fee of 10% of annual distributable income and an annual performance fee of 25% of the increase in distributions per unit of the SREIT from the preceding year. For acquisitions other than the Singapore Portfolio, the SREIT pays the Manager an acquisition fee of 1% of the acquisition price. The SREIT will also pay the Manager a divestment fee of 0.5% of the sale price of any real estate sold and a development management fee of 3% of the total project costs incurred for development projects. A portion of the fees paid to the Manager are paid to KBS Realty Advisors LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Schreiber, for sub-advisory services. The Schreiber Trust, a trust whose beneficiaries are Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. and his family members, and the Linda Bren 2017 Trust also acquired units in the SREIT. The Schreiber Trust agreed it will not sell any portion of its units in the SREIT unless it has received the consent of the Company’s conflicts committee. The Linda Bren 2017 Trust has agreed it will not sell $5.0 million of its investment in the SREIT unless it has received the consent of the Company’s conflicts committee.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no other business transactions occurred between the Company and KBS REIT II, KBS Growth & Income REIT, the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or other KBS-affiliated entities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, KBS Limited Partnership III, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. These include statements about our plans, strategies and prospects and these statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the continued disruptions in the financial markets impacting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
•The ongoing challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings, continues to be one of the most significant risks and uncertainties we face. The combination of the continued economic slowdown, rapidly rising interest rates and significant inflation (or the perception that any of these events may continue) as well as a lack of lending activity in the debt markets have contributed to considerable weakness in the commercial real estate markets. Upcoming and recent tenant lease expirations amidst the aforementioned headwinds coupled with slower than expected return-to-office, most notably in the San Francisco Bay Area where we own several assets, have had direct and material impacts on our ability to access certain credit facilities. Additionally, due to disruptions in the financial markets, it is becoming increasingly difficult to refinance maturing debt obligations as lenders are hesitant to make new loans in the current market environment with so many uncertainties surrounding asset valuations, especially in the office real estate market. While we have extension options on all debt obligations maturing in 2023, these extensions are subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents some of which are more stringent than our current loan compliance tests. As a result, in order to qualify for certain loan extensions, we may be required to reduce the loan commitment amount or make paydowns on certain loans. Additionally, continued increases in interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on our ability to meet such tests and may further reduce our available liquidity under our loan agreements. Due to this potential reduction in loan commitment and ongoing capital expenditure needs in our real estate portfolio, we may need to evaluate selling certain assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage our liquidity needs, which would likely impact the ultimate sale price. Continued disruptions in the financial markets and economic uncertainty could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to stockholders and our ability to sustain our current distribution rate. Further, potential changes in customer behavior, such as continued work-from-home arrangements, which increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space, adversely impacting our operations.
•We are dependent on KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”), our advisor, to conduct our operations.
•All of our executive officers, our affiliated directors and other key professionals are also officers, affiliated directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our advisor and/or other KBS-affiliated entities. As a result, these individuals, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including conflicts created by our advisor’s and its affiliates’ compensation arrangements with us and other KBS programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in action or inaction that is not in the best interests of our stockholders.
26

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
•Our advisor and its affiliates currently receive fees in connection with transactions involving the purchase or origination, management and disposition of our investments. Acquisition and asset management fees are based on the cost of the investment, and not based on the quality of the investment or the quality of the services rendered to us. We may also pay significant fees during our listing/liquidation stage. Although most of the fees payable during our listing/liquidation stage are contingent on our stockholders first enjoying agreed-upon investment returns, the investment return thresholds may be reduced subject to approval by our conflicts committee and our charter limitations. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase the risk of loss to our stockholders.
•We cannot guarantee that we will pay distributions or that distributions at the current rate are sustainable. We have and may in the future fund distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. We have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
•We may incur debt until our total liabilities would exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), and we may exceed this limit with the approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors. High debt levels could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of an investment in us.
•We depend on tenants for the revenue generated by our real estate investments. Revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases), rent deferrals or abatements, tenants becoming unable to pay their rent and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to meet our debt service obligations and limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Since March 2020, we have granted rent relief to a number of tenants as a result of the pandemic, and these tenants or additional tenants may request rent relief in future periods, become unable to pay rent or early terminate or not renew existing leases.
•Our significant investment in the equity securities of Prime US REIT (the “SREIT”), a traded Singapore real estate investment trust, is subject to the risks associated with real estate investments as well as the risks inherent in investing in traded securities, including, in this instance, risks related to the quantity of units held by us relative to the trading volume of the units. Due to the disruptions in the financial markets, since March 2020, the trading price of the common units of the SREIT has experienced substantial volatility.
•Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other KBS programs or investors, our advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of investments.
•We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes. If such funds are not available, we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could further limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.
•Our charter does not require us to liquidate our assets and dissolve by a specified date, nor does our charter require our directors to list our shares for trading by a specified date. No public market currently exists for our shares of common stock. There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares. Our shares cannot be readily sold and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares, they would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount.
•Stockholders may have to hold their shares an indefinite period of time. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to provide additional liquidity to stockholders. Since 2019, due to the limitations on redemptions under our share redemption program, our pursuit of strategic alternatives and/or disruptions in the financial markets impacting the U.S. office market, we have either exhausted the funds available for Ordinary Redemptions (defined below) under our share redemption program or implemented suspensions of Ordinary Redemptions under our share redemption program for all or a portion of the calendar year. Since 2019, we have redeemed 18,896,332 shares under our share redemption program, which is approximately 13% of our current outstanding shares. On January 17, 2023, our board of directors determined to suspend Ordinary Redemptions under our share redemption program to preserve capital in the current market environment. Ordinary Redemptions are all redemptions other than those that qualify for the special provisions for redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Qualifying Disability” or “Determination of Incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program and, together, “Special Redemptions”). We cannot predict future redemption demand with any certainty. If Ordinary Redemptions are resumed and future redemption requests exceed the redemption limitations under our share redemption program, the number of rejected redemption requests will increase over time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A herein.

Overview
We were formed on December 22, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner. We conduct our business primarily through our Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our business is managed by our advisor pursuant to an advisory agreement and our advisor conducts our operations and manages our portfolio of real estate investments. Our advisor owns 20,857 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees.
We have invested in a diverse portfolio of real estate investments. As of March 31, 2023, we owned 16 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of the SREIT.
On February 4, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of up to 280,000,000 shares, or up to $2,760,000,000 of shares, of common stock for sale to the public, of which up to 200,000,000 shares, or up to $2,000,000,000 of shares, were registered in our primary offering and up to 80,000,000 shares, or up to $760,000,000 of shares, were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on May 29, 2015 and terminated the primary offering on July 28, 2015.
We sold 169,006,162 shares of common stock in our now-terminated primary initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $1.7 billion. As of March 31, 2023, we had also sold 45,125,410 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $462.5 million. Also as of March 31, 2023, we had redeemed or repurchased 73,620,252 shares for $780.0 million.
Additionally, on October 3, 2014, we issued 258,462 shares of common stock, for $2.4 million, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
We continue to offer shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. In some states, we will need to renew the registration statement annually or file a new registration statement to continue the dividend reinvestment plan offering. We may terminate our dividend reinvestment plan offering at any time.
Section 5.11 of our charter requires that we seek stockholder approval of our liquidation if our shares of common stock are not listed on a national securities exchange by September 30, 2020, unless a majority of the conflicts committee of our board of directors, composed solely of all of our independent directors, determines that liquidation is not then in the best interest of our stockholders. Pursuant to our charter requirement, the conflicts committee considered the conflicts committee’s and the board of directors’ assessment of alternatives available to us, market conditions, uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on work-from-home arrangements and the impact of such arrangements on the U.S. office market, the debt capital markets, and the lack of liquidity in the marketplace, and on September 28, 2022, our conflicts committee unanimously determined to postpone approval of our liquidation. Section 5.11 of our charter requires that the conflicts committee revisit the issue of liquidation at least annually.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets. Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. Further, revenues from our properties could decrease due to a reduction in occupancy (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases), rent deferrals or abatements, tenants being unable to pay their rent and/or lower rental rates. Increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates will prevent us from refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not fixed through interest rate swap agreements or limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. The current rising interest rate environment has had a downward impact on real estate values, and the lack of financing available in the current environment, especially for commercial office buildings, has significantly impacted the amount of transaction activity in the commercial real estate market and made valuing such assets increasingly difficult. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure in this challenging environment.
The ongoing challenges affecting the U.S. commercial real estate industry, especially as it pertains to commercial office buildings, continues to be one of the most significant risks and uncertainties we face. The combination of the continued economic slowdown, rapidly rising interest rates and significant inflation (or the perception that any of these events may continue), as well as a lack of lending activity in the debt markets, have contributed to considerable weakness in the commercial real estate markets. The usage and leasing activity of our assets in several markets (most notably the greater San Francisco Bay Area) remains lower than pre-pandemic levels, and we cannot predict when economic activity and demand for office space will return to pre-pandemic levels. Further, potential changes in customer behavior, such as continued work-from-home arrangements, which increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space, adversely impacting our operations. Both upcoming and recent tenant lease expirations amidst the aforementioned headwinds coupled with slower than expected return-to-office, most notably in the San Francisco Bay Area where we own several assets, have had direct and material impacts on our ability to access certain credit facilities (see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below), which, in large part, provide liquidity to manage redemption requests and capital expenditures needed to manage our real estate assets.
We have concluded that it is critical to preserve capital given the current state of the markets. On January 17, 2023, our board of directors determined to suspend Ordinary Redemptions under our share redemption program and reduce the distribution rate from that of prior periods. These actions were a direct result of the factors discussed above.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $27.0 million to write down the carrying value of 201 Spear Street (located in San Francisco, California) to its estimated fair value as a result of continued market uncertainty due to rising interest rates, increased vacancy rates as a result of slow return to office in San Francisco and declining values of comparable sales in the market, all of which impacted ongoing cash flow estimates and leasing projections, which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows to be lower than the net carrying value of the property. As of March 31, 2023, 201 Spear Street was 65.1% occupied. We are projecting longer lease-up periods for the vacant space, and increased tenant turnover for currently occupied space, as a result of the factors discussed above.
We have also made a significant investment in the common units of the SREIT. Due to the disruptions in the financial markets discussed above, since early March 2020, the trading price of the common units of the SREIT has experienced substantial volatility. As of May 11, 2023, the aggregate value of our investment in the units of the SREIT was $44.2 million, which was based solely on the closing price of the units on the SGX-ST of $0.205 per unit as of May 11, 2023, and did not take into account any potential discount for the holding period risk due to the quantity of units we hold. This is a decrease of $0.675 per unit from our initial acquisition of the SREIT units at $0.880 per unit on July 19, 2019.
Continued disruptions in the financial markets and economic uncertainty could adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy and generate returns to stockholders and our ability to sustain our current distribution rate. Overall, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the timing and duration of the economic recovery, which precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the current disruptions in the markets may have on our business. However, we believe that our cash flow from operations, cash on hand, current availability under our loan facilities, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, current and anticipated financing activities and anticipated asset sales will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds during the short and long-term are and will be for operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses; payments under debt obligations; redemptions of common stock; and payments of distributions to stockholders. Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements are as follows:
•Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments;
•Debt financings (including amounts currently available under existing loan facilities);
•Proceeds from the sale of our real estate properties and real estate-related investments; and
•Proceeds from common stock issued under our dividend reinvestment plan.
Our real estate properties generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures, capital expenditures, debt service payments, the payment of asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. Cash flow from operations from our real estate properties is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectability of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures. Due to uncertainties in the U.S. office real estate market, most notably in the greater San Francisco Bay Area where we own certain assets, we anticipate that our future cash flows from operations may be impacted due to lease rollover and reduced demand for office space.
Our investment in the equity securities of the SREIT generates cash flow in the form of dividend income, and dividends are typically declared and paid on a semi-annual basis, though dividends are not guaranteed. As of March 31, 2023, we held 215,841,899 units of the SREIT which represented 18.2% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date.
As of March 31, 2023, we had mortgage debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $1.7 billion, with a weighted-average remaining term of 0.8 years. As of March 31, 2023, we had $1.4 billion of notes payable maturing during the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, all of which have extension options beyond the next 12 months, subject to conditions specified in the loan agreements. As of March 31, 2023, our debt obligations consisted of $123.0 million of fixed rate notes payable and $1.6 billion of variable rate notes payable. As of March 31, 2023, the interest rates on $1.0 billion of our variable rate notes payable were effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements.
The maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond their current maturity dates; however, the extension options are subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents some of which are more stringent than our current loan compliance tests. As a result, in order to qualify for certain loan extensions, we may be required to reduce the loan commitment amount or make paydowns on certain loans. Additionally, continued increases in interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on our ability to meet such tests and may further reduce our available liquidity under our loan agreements. Due to this potential reduction in loan commitment and ongoing capital expenditure needs in our real estate portfolio, we may need to evaluate selling certain assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage our liquidity needs, which would likely impact the ultimate sale price.
We paid cash distributions to our stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2023 using cash flow from operations from current and prior periods and proceeds from debt financing. Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our current distribution rate. We have experienced a reduction in our net cash flows from operations in recent periods primarily due to lease expirations in our portfolio and a resulting decrease in occupancy. In January 2023, our board of directors reduced our distribution rate from prior periods due to the continued impact of the economic slowdown on our cash flows. Our management team and our board of directors will continue to monitor our results of operations and operating cash flows, and based on an analysis of our cash flows and projected cash flows, as well as other liquidity needs in the portfolio, may consider a further reduction to our distribution rate in a future period. See “—Distributions” below.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, cash on hand, current availability under our loan facilities, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan, current and anticipated financing activities and anticipated asset sales will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2023 did not exceed the charter-imposed limitation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities was lower during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily as a result of higher interest expense and a decrease in dividend income received from the SREIT, offset by the timing of payments of property tax and receipts of prepaid rent.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $23.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to improvements to real estate.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 million and primarily consisted of the following:
•$14.1 million of net cash provided by debt financing as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $15.0 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes payable of $0.4 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million;
•$11.3 million of net cash distributions, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $7.4 million;
•$2.9 million of cash used for redemptions and repurchases of common stock; and
•$1.5 million provided by interest rate swap settlements for off-market swap instruments.
We expect that our debt financing and other liabilities will be between 45% and 65% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves). There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for the purchase of any single asset. We limit our total liabilities to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets (before deducting depreciation and other non-cash reserves), meaning that our borrowings and other liabilities may exceed our maximum target leverage of 65% of the cost of our tangible assets without violating these borrowing restrictions. We may exceed the 75% limit only if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of this limitation and we disclose such borrowings to our stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. To the extent financing in excess of this limit is available on attractive terms, our conflicts committee may approve debt in excess of this limit. From time to time, our total liabilities could also be below 45% of the cost of our tangible assets due to the lack of availability of debt financing. As of March 31, 2023, our borrowings and other liabilities were approximately 58% of the cost (before deducting depreciation and other noncash reserves) and 60% of the book value (before deducting depreciation) of our tangible assets, respectively. This leverage limitation is based on cost and not fair value, and our leverage may exceed 75% of the fair value of our tangible assets.
We also expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We currently make payments to our advisor in connection with the acquisition of investments, the management of our investments and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us. We also pay fees to our advisor in connection with the disposition of investments. We reimburse our advisor and dealer manager for certain stockholder services. In addition, our advisor is entitled to an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals.
Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property. This amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excludes acquisition fees paid or payable to our advisor). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee is determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment (but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to our advisor). With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment (which amount includes any portion of the investment that was debt financed and is inclusive of acquisition or origination expenses related thereto but is exclusive of acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor) and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the acquisition or origination expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (excluding acquisition or origination fees paid or payable to our advisor), as of the time of calculation. We currently do not pay asset management fees to our advisor on our investment in units of the SREIT.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Notwithstanding the foregoing on November 8, 2022, we and our advisor renewed the advisory agreement and amended certain provisions related to the payment of asset management fees (the “Renewed Advisory Agreement”), among other provisions. Pursuant to the Renewed Advisory Agreement, commencing with asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022, we pay $1.15 million of the monthly asset management fee to our advisor in cash and we deposit the remainder of the monthly asset management fee into an interest bearing account in our name, which amounts will be paid to our advisor from such account solely as reimbursement for payments made by our advisor pursuant to our advisor’s employee retention program (such account, the “Bonus Retention Fund”). The Bonus Retention Fund was established in order to incentivize and retain key employees of our advisor. We will be deemed to have fully funded the Bonus Retention Fund once we have deposited $8.5 million in cash into such account, at which time the monthly asset management fee will be payable in full to our advisor. Our advisor has acknowledged and agreed that payments by our advisor to employees under our advisor’s employee retention program that are reimbursed by us from the Bonus Retention Fund will be conditioned on (a) our liquidation and dissolution; (b) a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of us in which (i) we are not the surviving entity and (ii) our advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; (c) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; (d) the non-renewal or termination of the Renewed Advisory Agreement without cause; or (e) the termination of the employee without cause. To the extent the Bonus Retention Fund is not fully paid out to employees as set forth above, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that the residual amount will be deemed additional Deferred Asset Management Fees (defined below) and be treated in accordance with the provisions for payment of Deferred Asset Management Fees. Two of our executive officers, Mr. Waldvogel and Ms. Yamane, and one of our directors, Mr. DeLuca, participate in and have been allocated awards under our advisor’s employee retention program, which awards would only be paid as set forth above.
Prior to entering the Renewed Advisory Agreement, the advisory agreement had provided that with respect to asset management fees accruing from March 1, 2014, our advisor would defer, without interest, our obligation to pay asset management fees for any month in which our modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for such month, as such term is defined in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 and interpreted by us, excluding asset management fees, did not exceed the amount of distributions declared by us for record dates of that month. We remained obligated to pay our advisor an asset management fee in any month in which our MFFO, excluding asset management fees, for such month exceeded the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, an “MFFO Surplus”); however, any amount of such asset management fee in excess of the MFFO Surplus was deferred under the advisory agreement. If the MFFO Surplus for any month exceeded the amount of the asset management fee payable for such month, any remaining MFFO Surplus was applied to pay any asset management fee amounts previously deferred in accordance with the advisory agreement.
Pursuant to the Renewed Advisory Agreement, asset management fees accruing from October 1, 2022 are no longer subject to the deferral provision described above. Asset management fees that remained deferred as of September 30, 2022 are “Deferred Asset Management Fees.” As of September 30, 2022, Deferred Asset Management Fees totaled $8.5 million. The Renewed Advisory Agreement also provides that we remain obligated to pay our advisor outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in any month to the extent that MFFO for such month exceeds the amount of distributions declared for the record dates of that month (such excess amount, a “RMFFO Surplus”); provided however, that any amount of outstanding Deferred Asset Management Fees in excess of the RMFFO Surplus will continue to be deferred.
Consistent with the prior advisory agreement, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will become immediately due and payable at such time as our stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) an 8.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such net invested capital (the “Stockholders’ 8% Return”) and (ii) a return of their net invested capital, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by any amounts to repurchase shares pursuant to our share redemption program. The Stockholders’ 8% Return is not based on the return provided to any individual stockholder. Accordingly, it is not necessary for each of our stockholders to have received any minimum return in order for our advisor to receive Deferred Asset Management Fees.
32

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
In addition, the Renewed Advisory Agreement provides that any and all Deferred Asset Management Fees that are unpaid will also be immediately due and payable upon the earlier of:
(i)     a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange;
(ii)    our liquidation and dissolution;
(iii)    a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, either directly or indirectly, of us in which (y) we are not the surviving entity and (z) our advisor is no longer serving as an advisor or asset manager to the surviving entity in such transaction; and
(iv)    the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.
The Renewed Advisory Agreement may be terminated (i) upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty by either us (acting through the conflicts committee) or our advisor or (ii) immediately by us for cause or upon the bankruptcy of our advisor. If the Renewed Advisory Agreement is terminated without cause, then our advisor will be entitled to receive from us any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees, provided that upon such non-renewal or termination we do not retain an advisor in which our advisor or its affiliates have a majority interest. Upon termination of the Renewed Advisory Agreement, all unpaid Deferred Asset Management Fees will automatically be forfeited by our advisor, and if the Renewed Advisory Agreement is terminated for cause, any residual amount of the Bonus Retention Fund deemed to be additional Deferred Asset Management Fees will also automatically be forfeited by our advisor.
As of March 31, 2023, we had accrued $11.8 million of asset management fees, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees. Included in accrued asset management fees as of March 31, 2023 is $3.3 million of restricted cash deposited into the Bonus Retention Fund. We had not made any payments to our advisor from the Bonus Retention Fund as of March 31, 2023.
Debt Obligations
The following is a summary of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

_____________________
(1) Amounts include principal payments only based on maturity dates as of March 31, 2023. The maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond their current maturity dates; however, the extension options are subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents some of which are more stringent than our current loan compliance tests. As a result, in order to qualify for certain loan extensions, we may be required to reduce the loan commitment amount or make paydowns on certain loans, which would reduce our liquidity. Additionally, continued increases in interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on our ability to meet such tests and may further reduce our available liquidity under our loan agreements.
(2) Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts, maturity dates and interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2023 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2023, where applicable).
(3) We incurred interest expense related to notes payable of $25.7 million, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs totaling $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
(4) Projected interest payments on interest rate swaps are calculated based on the notional amount, effective term of the swap contract, and fixed rate net of the swapped floating rate in effect as of March 31, 2023. In the case where the swapped floating rate (one-month LIBOR or one-month Term SOFR) at March 31, 2023 is higher than the fixed rate in the swap agreement, interest payments on interest rate swaps in the above debt obligations table would reflect zero as we would not be obligated to make any interest payments on those swaps and instead expect to receive payments from our swap counter-parties.
(5) We incurred net realized gains related to interest rate swaps of $6.6 million, excluding unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $13.7 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we owned 16 office properties, one mixed-use office/retail property and an investment in the equity securities of the SREIT. The following table provides summary information about our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Other interest income42 14 28 200 %


Rental income from our real estate properties increased from $68.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $69.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to lease commencements subsequent to March 31, 2022. We expect rental income to vary based on occupancy rates and rental rates of our real estate investments and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets and to increase due to tenant reimbursements related to operating expenses to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office. See “Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets.”
Dividend income from our real estate equity securities decreased from $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to a decrease in the dividend rate per unit declared by the SREIT.
Other operating income increased from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in other operating income was primarily due to an increase in parking revenues as employees return to the office. We expect other operating income to vary in future periods based on occupancy rates and parking rates at our real estate properties and to the extent of continued uncertainty in the real estate and financial markets.
Operating, maintenance and management costs increased from $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating, maintenance and management costs was primarily due to an overall increase in repairs and maintenance costs and operating costs, including janitorial and security costs, as a result of general inflation and an increase in physical occupancy. We expect operating, maintenance and management costs to increase in future periods as a result of general inflation and to the extent physical occupancy increases as employees return to the office.
Real estate taxes and insurance increased from $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in property taxes due to a higher assessed property value for Accenture Tower. We expect real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods as a result of general inflation and general increases due to future property tax reassessments for properties that we continue to own.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Asset management fees increased from $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to capital improvements at our real estate properties. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods as a result of any improvements we make to our properties and to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties. As of March 31, 2023, there were $11.8 million of accrued asset management fees, of which $8.5 million were Deferred Asset Management Fees. For a discussion of Deferred Asset Management Fees, see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to professional fees incurred related to our conflicts committee’s and board of directors’ evaluation of various alternatives available to us during the three months ended March 31, 2022. General and administrative costs consisted primarily of portfolio legal fees, board of directors fees, third party transfer agent fees, financial advisor consulting fees for 2022 and audit costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to vary in future periods.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in capital improvements as a result of lease expansion at a property and acceleration of depreciation and amortization for early lease terminations. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of additional capital improvements, offset by a decrease in amortization related to fully amortized tenant origination and absorption costs.
Interest expense increased from $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Included in interest expense was (i) $7.7 million and $25.7 million of interest expense payments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and (ii) the amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to draws on our revolving debt and higher one-month LIBOR, one-month BSBY and one-month Term SOFR during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the related impact on interest expense related to the portion of our variable rate debt. In general, we expect interest expense to vary based on fluctuations in interest rates (for our variable rate debt) and the amount of future borrowings.
We recognized net loss on derivative instruments of $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Included in net loss on derivative instruments was unrealized loss on interest rate swaps of $13.7 million and fair value loss on interest rate cap of $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, offset by realized gain on interest rate swaps of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 We recognized net gain on derivative instruments of $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in net gain on derivative instruments was unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, offset by $4.3 million of realized loss on interest rate swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net loss on derivative instruments was primarily due to changes in fair values with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In general, we expect net gains or losses on derivative instruments to vary based on fair value changes with respect to our interest rate swaps that are not accounted for as cash flow hedges.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $27.0 million to write down the carrying value of 201 Spear Street (located in San Francisco, California) to its estimated fair value as a result of continued market uncertainty due to rising interest rates, increased vacancy rates as a result of slow return to office in San Francisco and declining values of comparable sales in the market, all of which impacted ongoing cash flow estimates and leasing projections, which resulted in the future estimated undiscounted cash flows to be lower than the net carrying value of the property. As of March 31, 2023, 201 Spear Street was 65.1% occupied. We are projecting longer lease-up periods for the vacant space, and increased tenant turnover for currently occupied space, as demand for office space in San Francisco has significantly declined as a result of the continued work-from-home arrangements, which increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the economic slowdown and the current rising interest rate environment. We did not record any non-cash impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded unrealized losses on real estate equity securities of $18.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively, as a result of the decrease in the closing price of the units of the SREIT on the SGX-ST.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), gains and losses from change in control, impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on real estate equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses MFFO as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the IPA in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
We believe that MFFO is helpful as a measure of ongoing operating performance because it excludes costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that excluding acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses) from MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time. MFFO also excludes non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue. Additionally, we believe that MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance. MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs. MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
FFO and MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO and MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO and MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO and MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of adjustments for straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, and unrealized losses (gains) on derivative instruments are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented. We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
•Adjustments for straight-line rent. These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
•Amortization of above- and below-market leases. Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate; and
•Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments. These adjustments include unrealized losses (gains) from mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap. The change in fair value of interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap not designated as a hedge are non-cash adjustments recognized directly in earnings and are included in interest expense. We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the economic impact of our interest rate swap agreements.
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculation of MFFO, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

_____________________
(1) Assumes share was issued and outstanding on each monthly record date for distributions during the period presented. For each monthly record date for distributions during the period from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023, distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.03833333 per share.
(2) Distributions are generally paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for the monthly record date of a given month are generally paid on or about the first business day of the following month.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid aggregate distributions of $18.8 million, including $11.3 million of distributions paid in cash and $7.5 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $66.4 million. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7.4 million and cash flow from operating activities was $5.2 million. See the reconciliation of FFO to net income above. We funded our total distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and dividends reinvested by stockholders, with $5.2 million of cash flow from current operating activities, $8.3 million of cash flow from operating activities in excess of distributions paid during prior periods and $5.3 million of proceeds from debt financing. For purposes of determining the source of our distributions paid, we assume first that we use cash flow from operating activities from the relevant or prior periods to fund distribution payments.
In January 2023, we reduced the distribution rate from that of prior periods due to the continued impact of the economic slowdown on our cash flows. See “– Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” and “– Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities – Distribution Information” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC. Our management team and our board of directors will continue to monitor our results of operations and operating cash flows, and based on an analysis of our cash flows and projected cash flows, as well as other liquidity needs in the portfolio, may consider a further reduction to our distribution rate in a future period.
Over the long-term, we generally expect our distributions will be paid from cash flow from operating activities from current periods or prior periods (except with respect to distributions related to sales of our assets and distributions related to the sales or repayment of real estate-related investments). From time to time during our operational stage, we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operating activities, in which case distributions may be paid in whole or in part from debt financing. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced. Further, our operating performance cannot be accurately predicted and may deteriorate in the future due to numerous factors, including the future operating performance of our real estate investments in the existing real estate and financial environment; the success and economic viability of our tenants; our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at comparable terms; changes in interest rates on any variable rate debt obligations we incur; the level of participation in our dividend reinvestment plan; and continued disruptions in the financial markets, including the current economic slowdown, the rising interest rate environment and inflation (or the public perception that any of these events may continue) as well as potential changes in the demand for office properties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertain economic conditions. In the event our FFO and/or cash flow from operating activities decrease in the future, the level of our distributions may also decrease. In addition, future distributions declared and paid may exceed FFO and/or cash flow from operating activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2023.

Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Distributions Paid
On April 3, 2023, we paid distributions of $5.7 million, which related to distributions in the amount of $0.03833333 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2023. On May 1, 2023, we paid distributions of $5.7 million, which related to distributions in the amount of $0.03833333 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 20, 2023.
Distributions Authorized
On May 10, 2023, our board of directors authorized a May 2023 distribution in the amount of $0.03833333 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 19, 2023, which we expect to pay in June 2023 and a June 2023 distribution in the amount of $0.03833333 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 20, 2023, which we expect to pay in July 2023.
Investors may choose to receive cash distributions or purchase additional shares through our dividend reinvestment plan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity and to fund the acquisition, expansion and refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the future acquisition and origination of mortgage and other loans. Our profitability and the value of our real estate investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by utilizing a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for the payment of distributions to our stockholders and that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt, unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $119.7 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $123.0 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt is calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loan was originated as of March 31, 2023. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity (unless the property securing the debt is sold and the loan is repaid) and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on our variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of variable rate instruments. As of March 31, 2023, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $566.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding after giving consideration to the impact of interest rate swap agreements on approximately $1.0 billion of our variable rate debt. We also had an interest rate cap for a notional amount of $125.0 million. Based on interest rates as of March 31, 2023, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $5.7 million.
The interest rate and weighted-average effective interest rate of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of March 31, 2023 were 3.7% and 4.9%, respectively. The weighted-average effective interest rate represents the actual interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2023 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2023 where applicable.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)
We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our investment in the SREIT (SGX-ST Ticker: OXMU). Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our investment’s security price. Our exposure to changes in security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from our carrying value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. The SREIT’s units were first listed for trading on the SGX-ST on July 19, 2019. If an active trading market for the units does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult to sell our units. The market for Singapore REITs may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of our investment in the SREIT difficult. Even if an active trading market develops or we are able to negotiate block trades, if we or other significant investors sell or are perceived as intending to sell a substantial amount of units in a short period of time, the market price of our remaining units could be adversely affected. In addition, as a foreign equity investment, the trading price of units of the SREIT may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in the Singapore and Asian markets, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies. Furthermore, we may be limited in our ability to sell our investment in the SREIT if our advisor and/or its affiliates are deemed to have material, non-public information regarding the SREIT. Charles J. Schreiber, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, our President and our affiliated director, is a former director of the external manager of the SREIT, and Mr. Schreiber currently holds an indirect ownership interest in the external manager of the SREIT. An affiliate of our advisor serves as the U.S. asset manager to the SREIT. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our investment’s security price risk. As of March 31, 2023, we held 215,841,899 units of the SREIT which represented 18.2% of the outstanding units of the SREIT as of that date. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate value of our investment in the units of the SREIT was $69.1 million, which was based solely on the closing price of the SREIT units on the SGX-ST of $0.320 per unit as of March 31, 2023, and did not take into account any potential discount for the holding period risk due to the quantity of units held by us relative to the normal level of trading volume in the units. Based solely on the closing price per unit of the SREIT units as of March 31, 2023, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $6.9 million.
For a discussion of the interest rate risks related to the current capital and credit markets, see Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets” herein and the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, as well as the risks identified in Part II, Item 1A herein.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risks discussed below, please see the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (now a division of First Citizens Bank) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver, and which has been followed by the collapse of Signature Bank, Silvergate Capital Corp. and First Republic Bank. Although we do not have direct exposure to these financial institutions, if a depository institution in which we deposit funds is adversely impacted from conditions in the financial or credit markets or otherwise, it could impact access to our cash or cash equivalents and could adversely impact our financial condition. Our cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of March 31, 2023. In addition, if any parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. Although we assess our banking relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
a).During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
b).Not applicable.
c).We have a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. The restrictions of our share redemption program will limit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares should they require liquidity and will limit our stockholders’ ability to recover an amount equal to our estimated value per share. Further, on January 17, 2023, our board of directors determined to suspend Ordinary Redemptions (defined below) under our share redemption program to preserve capital in the current market environment. We will continue to evaluate the markets and our overall liquidity profile as we determine when to potentially remove the suspension on Ordinary Redemptions, though we can give no assurance in this regard. During the suspension of Ordinary Redemptions, all Ordinary Redemption requests that have been received were canceled, and no Ordinary Redemption requests will be accepted or collected. However, any redemptions sought in connection with and meeting the requirements for Special Redemptions (defined below) will still be eligible for redemption and will continue to be processed in accordance with the current share redemption program.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (continued)
There are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program:
•Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Qualifying Disability” or “Determination of Incompetence” (each as defined in the share redemption program, and together with redemptions sought in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions;” all redemptions that do not meet the requirements for a Special Redemption are “Ordinary Redemptions”), we may not redeem shares unless the stockholder has held the shares for one year.
•During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we could purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year, provided that once we have received requests for redemptions, whether in connection with Special Redemptions or otherwise, that if honored, and when combined with all prior redemptions made during the calendar year, would result in the amount of remaining funds available for the redemption of additional shares in such calendar year being $10.0 million or less, the last $10.0 million of available funds shall be reserved exclusively for Special Redemptions. Notwithstanding anything contained in our share redemption program to the contrary, we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders.
•During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
•We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
For purposes of determining the time period a redeeming stockholder has held each share, the time period begins as of the date the stockholder acquired the share; provided, that shares purchased by the redeeming stockholder pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan or received as a stock dividend will be deemed to have been acquired on the same date as the initial share to which the dividend reinvestment plan shares or stock dividend shares relate. The date of the share’s original issuance by us is not determinative.
For a stockholder’s shares to be eligible for redemption in a given month, the administrator must receive a written redemption request from the stockholder or from an authorized representative of the stockholder setting forth the number of shares requested to be redeemed at least five business days before the redemption date. We redeem shares on the last business day of each month, except that the first redemption date following our establishment of an estimated value per share shall be no less than ten business days after our announcement of such estimated value per share in a filing with the SEC and the redemption date shall be set forth in such filing. If we cannot redeem all shares presented for redemption in any month because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in our share redemption program, then we will honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis, except that if a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase requirement described in our currently effective, or the most recently effective, registration statement, as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented, then we would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares.
Except during the current suspension of Ordinary Redemption under the share redemption program, if we do not completely satisfy a redemption request on a redemption date because the program administrator did not receive the request in time, because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in our share redemption program or because of a suspension of our share redemption program, then we will treat the unsatisfied portion of the redemption request as a request for redemption at the next redemption date funds are available for redemption, unless the redemption request is withdrawn. Any stockholder can withdraw a redemption request by sending written notice to the program administrator, provided such notice is received at least five business days before the redemption date.
Upon a transfer of shares, any pending redemption requests with respect to such transferred shares will be canceled as of the date we accept the transfer. Stockholders wishing us to continue to consider a redemption request related to any transferred shares must resubmit their redemption request.
Pursuant to our share redemption program, redemptions made in connection with Special Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of our common stock as of the applicable redemption date.

Ordinary Redemptions are made at a price per share equal to 96% of our most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date.
On September 28, 2022, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $9.00 (unaudited) based on (i) appraisals of our 17 real estate properties as of July 31, 2022, the estimated value of our investment in units of the SREIT (SGX-ST Ticker: OXMU) as of September 20, 2022 and the estimated value of our other assets as of June 30, 2022 less (ii) the estimated value of our liabilities as of June 30, 2022, all divided by the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022. Effective for the October 2022 redemption date, which was October 31, 2022, and until the estimated value per share is updated, the redemption price for all shares eligible for redemption will be calculated based on the September 28, 2022 estimated value per share.
We currently expect to utilize an independent valuation firm to update our estimated value per share no later than December 2023. We will report the estimated value per share of our common stock in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC. We will also provide information about our estimated value per share on our website, www.kbsreitiii.com (such information may be provided by means of a link to our public filings on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov).
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon ten business days’ notice to stockholders, and consistent with SEC guidance and interpretations, we may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to our share redemption program upon ten business days’ notice. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) in a separate mailing to our stockholders. The complete share redemption program document is filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022 and is available at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we funded redemptions under our share redemption program with the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and from debt financing. We redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

(1) We announced the adoption and commencement of the program on October 14, 2010. We announced amendments to the program on March 8, 2013 (which amendment became effective on April 7, 2013), on March 7, 2014 (which amendment became effective on April 6, 2014), on May 9, 2018 (which amendment became effective on June 8, 2018), on July 16, 2021 (which amendment became effective on July 30, 2021), on March 18, 2022 (which amendment became effective on March 31, 2022) and on April 14, 2022 (which amendment became effective on April 27, 2022).
(2) The prices at which we redeem shares under the program are as set forth above.
(3) As discussed above, in January 2023, our board of directors determined to suspend Ordinary Redemptions under our share redemption program to preserve capital in the current market environment. However, any redemptions sought in connection with and meeting the requirements for Special Redemptions are still eligible for redemption and will continue to be processed in accordance with the share redemption program, subject to the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during 2022, or $33.4 million, including the reserve for Special Redemptions. As of May 1, 2023, we had $29.1 million available for redemptions for the remainder of 2023 under the share redemption program, including the reserve for Special Redemptions.
For the months of January 2023 through March 2023, we fulfilled all Special Redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order. See note (3) above.
In addition to the redemptions under the share redemption program described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased an additional 417 shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.00 per share for an aggregate price of $3,753.
