Prospectus Updates
Prospectus Summary
The following disclosure replaces the fourth bullet point under the section captioned “Prospectus Summary— Summary Conflicts of Interest,” which begins on page 21 of the prospectus.
| · | We rely on the real estate professionals employed by IREA and other affiliates of our sponsor to source potential investments in properties, real estate-related assets and other investments in which we may be interested. Inland maintains an investment committee that reviews each potential investment and determines whether the investment is acceptable for acquisition. In determining whether an investment is suitable, the investment committee considers, among other things, the investment objectives of each program currently advised by our sponsor or its affiliates. See “— Investment Approval and Allocation Policies and Procedures” below for additional discussion regarding our allocation and acquisition procedures. |
The following disclosure replaces the first three paragraphs under the section captioned “Prospectus Summary— Investment Approval and Allocation Policies and Procedures,” which is on page 24 of the prospectus.
We rely on the real estate professionals employed by IREA and other affiliates of our sponsor to source potential investments in properties, real estate-related assets and other investments in which we may be interested. Inland maintains an investment committee that reviews each potential investment and determines whether an investment is acceptable for acquisition. In determining whether an investment is suitable, the investment committee considers investment objectives, portfolio and criteria of all programs currently advised by our sponsor or its affiliates (collectively referred to as the “Programs”). Other factors considered by the investment committee may include cash flow, the effect of the acquisition on portfolio diversification, the estimated income or unrelated business tax effects of the purchase, policies relating to leverage, regulatory restrictions and the capital available for investment. Our Business Manager will not recommend any investments for us unless the investment is approved for consideration in advance by Inland’s investment committee. Once an investment has been approved for consideration by Inland’s investment committee, the Programs are advised and provided an opportunity to elect to acquire the investment.
If more than one of the Programs is interested in acquiring an investment, Inland’s allocation committee determines which Program is ultimately awarded the right to pursue the investment. The allocation committee is responsible for facilitating the investment allocation process and could face conflicts of interest in doing so. From time to time, other Programs may compete with us with respect to certain investments that we may want to acquire. Many investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for another Program. In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that is considered suitable for both us and another Program, then the Program that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was allocated and invested in a contested investment is awarded the investment by the allocation committee. Our board of directors will determine, at least annually, whether the method for allocating investment opportunities is applied fairly to us.
Risk Factors
The risk factor captioned “We rely on entities affiliated with IREIC to identify real estate assets.” on page 79 of the prospectus is hereby replaced with the following disclosure.

If more than one Program is interested in acquiring an investment, then the Program that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was allocated and invested in a contested investment is awarded the investment by the allocation committee. We may not, therefore, be able to acquire properties that we otherwise would be interested in acquiring. See “Conflicts of Interest — Investment Approval and Allocation Policies and Procedures” for additional discussion regarding our allocation and acquisition procedures.
