Dear Fellow Stockholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., I cordially invite you to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., a Maryland corporation, to be held at its office located at 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202, on June 30, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time (the “Annual Meeting”). The matters to be considered by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the accompanying materials.

We have elected to furnish proxy materials to our stockholders primarily over the Internet pursuant to the “notice and access” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that providing our proxy materials over the Internet will expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs associated with our Annual Meeting, and conserve natural resources.

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials to certain of our stockholders over the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. On or about April [ ], 2020, we will mail (i) to certain of our stockholders, our proxy statement, a proxy card, and our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 and (ii) to other stockholders, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which will indicate how to access our proxy materials on the Internet. We believe that providing our proxy materials over the Internet will expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs associated with our Annual Meeting, and conserve natural resources.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE REPRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN OR WHETHER YOU ARE ABLE TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING IN PERSON. Unlike many public companies, no large brokerage houses or affiliated groups of stockholders own substantial blocks of our shares. As a result, in order to achieve a quorum and to avoid delays and additional costs, we need substantial stockholder voting participation by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. We urge you to vote as soon as possible. You may vote by authorizing a proxy over the Internet, by telephone or, if you received printed proxy materials, by completing, signing, and returning your proxy card in the envelope provided. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Sincerely,

Evan H. Zucker

We believe that this process will expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs associated with our Annual Meeting, and conserve natural resources.

We currently intend to hold the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person. However, we are actively monitoring developments with respect to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the advice and guidance of public health officials, including guidelines on limits to the number of people permitted to congregate in one location. We are sensitive to the public health and travel concerns our stockholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in person, we will announce any change in date, time or location of the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include postponing or adjourning the Annual Meeting of Stockholders or holding the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by means of remote communication. We will make any announcement regarding a change to the date, location or format of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by issuing a press release, by filing definitive additional materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and by taking all other steps necessary to inform our stockholders of the change. Please monitor our website at www.bcindustrialiv.com, news releases and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for updated information. If you are planning to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, please check the website one week prior to the meeting date. As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

What is the date and time of the Annual Meeting and where will it be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held on June 30, 2020, at the Company’s office located at 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202, at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on April 8, 2020 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 8, 2020 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares of common stock are outstanding?

As of the close of business on April 8, 2020, there were approximately [ ] shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Our shares of common stock consist of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, all of which are collectively referred herein as shares of common stock.

How many votes do I have?

You are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock that you held as of the record date.

What will I be voting on at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to:

•

elect six directors to serve until the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify;

•

ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020;

•

approve the proposed amendment to the Company’s charter to comply with a request from a state securities administrator;

•

permit our Board of Directors to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes for the proposal; and

•

act on any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on each proposal?

The Board of Directors recommends a vote:

•

FOR the election of the nominees to our Board of Directors;

•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020;

•

FOR the proposed amendment to the Company’s charter; and

•

FOR permitting our Board of Directors to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes for the proposals.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A quorum will be present if the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote are present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. If you have returned a valid proxy or, if you hold your shares in your own name as holder of record and you attend the Annual Meeting in person, your shares will be counted for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum. Broker “non-votes” are also counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares of our common stock for a beneficial owner is present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting until a quorum has been obtained.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors

The election of the nominees to our Board of Directors requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting once a quorum is established. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Withheld votes and broker “non-votes,” if any, will have the effect of votes against the election of the nominees to our Board of Directors.

Ratification of Auditors

The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting once a quorum is established. Abstentions and broker “non-votes,” if any, will have no effect on the result of the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2020.

Amendment to Charter

The approval of the proposed amendment to the Company’s charter requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. Withheld votes and broker “non-votes,” if any, will have the effect of votes against the amendment to our charter.

Adjournment of Annual Meeting

Permitting our Board of Directors to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes for the proposals, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes,” if any, will have no effect on the vote permitting our Board of Directors to adjourn the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How can I vote?

You can vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. If you hold your shares of our common stock in your own name as a holder of record, you have the following four options for submitting your vote by proxy:

if you received printed proxy materials, by signing, dating, and mailing the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided;

via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, as provided in the proxy card and the Internet Availability Notice;

by touch-tone telephone at the toll-free number, as provided in the proxy card and the Internet Availability Notice; or

by telephone at 1-833-795-8490 speaking to a live agent between 9:00am and 9:00pm EDT.

For those stockholders with Internet access, we encourage you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares via the Internet, since this method is quick, convenient and cost-efficient. When you authorize a proxy to vote your shares via the Internet or by telephone prior to the Annual Meeting date, your vote is recorded immediately and there is no risk that postal delays will cause your vote to arrive late and, therefore, not be counted.

If your shares of our common stock are held on your behalf by a broker, bank, or other entity that exercises fiduciary power in nominee name or otherwise, you will receive instructions from them that you must follow to have your shares voted at the Annual Meeting.

How will proxies be voted?

Shares represented by valid proxies will be voted as specified on the proxy unless it is properly revoked prior thereto. If no specification is made on the proxy as to any one or more of the proposals, the shares of our common stock represented by the proxy will be voted as follows:

•

FOR the election of the nominees to our Board of Directors;

•

FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020;

•

FOR the proposed amendment to the Company’s charter;

•

in the discretion of the proxy holder on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other matter to be raised at the Annual Meeting.

How can I change my vote or revoke a proxy?

If you hold shares of our common stock in your own name as a holder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the date and time of the Annual Meeting through any of the following methods:

•

send written notice of revocation, prior to the Annual Meeting, to our Managing Director, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, Mr. Joshua J. Widoff (the “Secretary”), at 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202;

•

log onto the Internet site provided in the proxy card, the Internet Availability Notice and in this Proxy Statement and authorize your proxy again; or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person.

Please note that merely attending the Annual Meeting, without further action, will not revoke your proxy. If shares of our common stock are held on your behalf by a broker, bank, or other entity that exercises fiduciary power in nominee name or otherwise, you must contact them to receive instructions as to how you may revoke your proxy.

Who is soliciting my proxy, and who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?

The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors. The expense of preparing, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxies solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by officers and directors, without additional remuneration, by personal interview, telephone, or otherwise. The Company will also request brokerage firms, nominees, custodians, and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record as of the close of business on the record date and will provide reimbursement for the cost of forwarding the materials.

The Company has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Services, Inc. (“Broadridge”) to solicit proxies for the Annual Meeting. The services to be performed by Broadridge will include consultation pertaining to the planning and organization of the solicitation, as well as assisting the Company in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The anticipated cost for such services is expected to be between $[ ] and $[ ].

Where can I find the voting results after the Annual Meeting?

American Election Services, LLC, our independent tabulating agent, will count the votes and act as the Inspector of Election. We will publish the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission within four business days after the Annual Meeting. We keep all proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations confidential as a matter of practice. We permit only our Inspector of Election, American Election Services, LLC, to examine these documents.

Where can I find the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K?

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Commission on March 5, 2020, will be included in our 2019 Annual Report that will be delivered, or made available on the Internet as provided in the Internet Availability Notice, to stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and is available without charge to stockholders upon written request to: Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attention: Investor Relations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of six directors, four of whom are independent, as determined by our Board of Directors. Our bylaws provide that a majority of the entire Board of Directors may establish, increase, or decrease the number of directors, provided that the number of directors shall never be less than three nor more than 15.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Marshall M. Burton, Charles B. Duke, Stanley A. Moore, and John S. Hagestad are independent within the meaning of the applicable (i) provisions set forth in our Charter, (ii) requirements set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable Commission rules, and (iii) although our shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), independence rules set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. To be considered independent under the NYSE rules, our Board of Directors must determine that a director does not have a material relationship with us and/or our consolidated subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with any of those entities, including BCI IV Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”) and its affiliates).

Our Charter defines an “independent director” as a person who has not been, directly or indirectly, associated with the Sponsor or BCI IV Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) within the previous two years by virtue of:

•

ownership interests in the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their affiliates;

•

employment by the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their affiliates;

•

service as an officer or director of the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their affiliates;

•

performance of services, other than as a director for us;

•

service as a director or trustee of more than three real estate investment trusts organized by the Sponsor or advised by the Advisor; or

•

maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their affiliates.

We refer to our directors who are not independent as our “interested directors.” Our Charter sets forth the material business or professional relationships that cause a person to be associated with us and therefore not eligible to serve as an independent director. A business or professional relationship is per se material if the prospective independent director received more than five percent of his annual gross income in the last two years from the Sponsor, the Advisor or any affiliate of the Sponsor or Advisor, or if more than five percent of his net worth, on a fair market value basis, has come from the Sponsor, the Advisor or any affiliate of the Sponsor or Advisor.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors has selected, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, our current directors as the director nominees to be re-elected to serve on our Board of Directors until the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify.

Each nominee has consented to being named in the Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. If, prior to the Annual Meeting, any nominee should become unavailable to serve, the shares of voting securities represented by a properly executed and returned proxy will be voted for such additional person as shall be designated by our Board of Directors, unless our Board of Directors determines to reduce the number of directors in accordance with our Charter and bylaws.

Set forth below is certain information regarding each of our directors, including their respective position, age, biographical information, directorships held in the previous five years, and the experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills that led our Board of Directors to determine that the person should serve as a director. For information regarding each director’s beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock or units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) of BCI IV Operating Partnership LP (the

“Operating Partnership”), see the “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” section, and the notes thereto, included in this Proxy Statement.

In 2019, our Board of Directors engaged, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”), an independent compensation consultant to conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of our independent director compensation. Upon our Board of Directors’ review of FW Cook’s assessment of our independent director compensation, our Board of Directors approved the following as of January 1, 2020:

We pay each of our independent directors $75,000 per quarter plus $2,500 for each Board of Directors or committee meeting attended in person or by telephone with an annual limit of $50,000. Each independent director also received an initial grant of $50,000 with immediate vesting in 2019 and an annual equity award with an aggregate grant value on the date of grant of $75,000, which will be in the form of a restricted stock award that will vest upon the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of grant and (ii) his or her re-election to our board following the date of grant. All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of our Board of Directors or of our committees. If a director is also one of our officers, we will not pay additional compensation for services rendered as a director.

•

$10,000 to the Chairperson of our Investment Committee; and

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Because the Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor will assume principal responsibility for managing our affairs, we have no employees, and our executive officers, in their capacities as such, do not receive compensation from us, nor do they work exclusively on our affairs. In their capacities as officers or employees of the Advisor or its affiliates, they will devote such portion of their time to our affairs as is required for the performance of the duties of the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The compensation received by our executive officers is not paid or determined by us, but rather by an affiliate of the Advisor based on all of the services provided by these individuals. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below for a summary of the fees and expenses payable to the Advisor and other affiliates.

Compensation Committee Report

We do not currently have a compensation committee, however, our compensation committee, if formed, would be comprised entirely of independent directors. In lieu of a formal compensation committee,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our independent directors perform an equivalent function. Our independent directors have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement (“CD&A”) with management. Based on the independent directors’ review of the CD&A and their discussions of the CD&A with management, the independent directors recommended to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors has approved, that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS:

Marshall M. Burton
Charles B. Duke
John S. Hagestad
Stanley A. Moore

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider-Participation

We do not currently have a compensation committee, however, we intend that our compensation committee, if formed, would be comprised entirely of independent directors. In lieu of a formal compensation committee, our independent directors perform an equivalent function. None of our independent directors has served as one of our officers or employees or as an officer or employee of any of our subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, or formerly served as one of our officers or as an officer of any of our subsidiaries. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, none of our executive officers served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire Board of Directors) of any entity that has one or more executive officers or directors serving as a member of our Board of Directors.

We do not expect that any of our executive officers will serve as a director or member of the compensation committee of any entity whose executive officers include a member of our compensation committee, if formed.

Equity Incentive Plan

Our amended and restated equity incentive plan, effective July 1, 2016 (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), for the grant of awards to our independent directors and to our employees (if any), as well as to any advisor or consultant who is a natural person performing bona fide services to us, provided that the services are not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital raising transaction, and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our stock. Participants may also be employees of the Advisor or the Property Manager, so long as any such employee is performing bona fide advisory or consulting services for us. Eligible individuals will be selected by our Board of Directors, including our independent directors, or, if formed, by our Compensation Committee, for participation in the equity incentive plan. Such awards may consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and/or other share-based awards; provided, that, the equity incentive plan prohibits the issuance of stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights unless and until our stock is listed on a national securities exchange. However, any such stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and/or other share-based awards to be issued to independent directors, employees, advisors and consultants shall not exceed an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the date of grant of any such stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and/or other share-based awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not issue options or warrants to our independent directors.

We have authorized and reserved for issuance under the equity incentive plan a total of 2.0 million shares of our common stock, and have also established an aggregate maximum of 5.0 million shares that may be issued upon grant, vesting or exercise of awards under the equity incentive plan. In addition, no more than 200,000 shares of our common stock may be made subject to options or stock appreciation rights to a single individual in a calendar year, and no more than 200,000 shares of our common stock may be made subject to share-based awards other than options or stock appreciation rights to a single individual in a

TABLE OF CONTENTS

calendar year. In the event of certain corporate transactions affecting our common stock, such as, for example, any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares or other property) recapitalization, stock-split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, our Board of Directors, or, if formed, our Compensation Committee, will have the sole authority to determine whether and in what manner to equitably adjust the number and type of shares and the exercise prices applicable to outstanding awards under the plan, the number and type of shares reserved for future issuance under the plan, and, if applicable, performance goals applicable to outstanding awards under the plan.

Our Board of Directors, including our independent directors, or, if formed, our Compensation Committee, will administer the Equity Incentive Plan, with sole authority to select participants, determine the types of awards to be granted, and all of the terms and conditions of the awards, including whether the grant, vesting or settlement of awards may be subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals. No awards will be granted under the plan if the grant, vesting and/or exercise of the awards would jeopardize our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or otherwise violate the ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under our charter. Our Board of Directors, or, if formed, our Compensation Committee, may also take action with respect to any awards in the event of a change in control, including a determination to pay cash equal to an amount that could have been obtained upon vesting or exercise of an award, a determination that awards cannot vest, be exercised or payable, a determination to accelerate vesting or exercise, or a determination that awards shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock of a successor or survivor corporation.

No award granted under the equity incentive plan will be transferable except through the laws of descent and distribution. Shares underlying awards once vested are transferable.

Private Placement Equity Incentive Plan

In September 2018, our Board of Directors adopted a private placement equity incentive plan (“Private Equity Incentive Plan”). The Private Equity Incentive Plan is substantially similar to the Equity Incentive Plan, except that under the Private Equity Incentive Plan, an eligible participant is defined as any person, trust, association, or entity to which the plan administrator desires to grant an award. An aggregate maximum of 2.0 million shares of our common stock may be issued upon grant, vesting or exercise of awards under the Private Equity Incentive Plan.

The following table gives information regarding the Equity Incentive Plan and the Private Equity Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2019:

Plan Category	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity incentive plans

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The Advisor initially purchased 20,000 Class I shares of our common stock in connection with our formation. The Sponsor contributed $1,000 to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 100 Special OP Units and is currently a limited partner of the Operating Partnership.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Advisory Agreement

We rely on the Advisor to manage our day-to-day activities and to implement our investment strategy. We, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor are parties to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (2019), dated as of June 12, 2019 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor is presently directly or indirectly majority owned, controlled and/or managed by the estate of John A. Blumberg, James R. Mulvihill and Evan H. Zucker, our Chairman of our Board of Directors, and/or their affiliates.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor performs the following services, subject to the oversight, review and approval of our Board of Directors:

•

Participate in formulating an investment strategy consistent with achieving our investment objectives;

•

Manage and supervise the offering process;

•

Research, identify, review and recommend for approval to our Board of Directors or Investment Committee, as applicable, real property, debt and other investments and dispositions consistent with our investment policies and objectives;

•

Structure the terms and conditions of transactions pursuant to which acquisitions and dispositions of investments will be made;

•

Actively oversee and manage our investment portfolio for purposes of meeting our investment objectives;

•

Manage our day-to-day affairs, including financial accounting and reporting, investor relations, marketing, informational systems and other administrative services on our behalf;

•

Select joint venture partners, structure corresponding agreements and oversee and monitor these relationships;

•

Arrange for financing and refinancing of our assets; and

•

Recommend various liquidity events to our Board of Directors when appropriate.

The above summary is provided to illustrate the material functions which the Advisor will perform for us as our advisor and it is not intended to include all of the services which may be provided to us by the Advisor or by third parties engaged by the Advisor.

The term of the Advisory Agreement ends June 12, 2020, subject to renewals by our Board of Directors for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. The independent directors will evaluate the performance of the Advisor before renewing the Advisory Agreement. The criteria used in such evaluation will be reflected in the minutes of such meeting. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated:

•

Immediately by us for “cause” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) or upon a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor;

•

Without cause or penalty by either the Advisor or a majority of our independent directors, in each case upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party;

•

With “good reason” (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) by the Advisor upon 60 days’ written notice; or

•

Immediately by us and/or the Operating Partnership in connection with a merger, sale of our assets or transaction involving us pursuant to which a majority of our directors then in office are replaced or removed.

“Good reason” is defined in the Advisory Agreement to mean either any failure by us to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform our obligations under the Advisory Agreement or any uncured material breach of the Advisory Agreement of any nature whatsoever by us that remains uncured for 30 days after written notice of such material breach has been provided to us by the Advisor. If the Advisor wishes to terminate the Advisory Agreement for “good reason,” the Advisor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

must provide us with 60 days’ written notice after we have failed to cure a material breach during the 30-day cure period described above. “Cause” is defined in the Advisory Agreement to mean fraud, criminal conduct or willful misconduct by the Advisor or a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor, which has not been cured within 30 days of such breach.

In the event of the termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor will cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested to assist our Board of Directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function. Before selecting a successor advisor, our Board of Directors must determine that any successor advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function and to justify the compensation it would receive from us.

Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates

We reimburse or pay certain fees to the Advisor and its affiliates in connection with services they provide to us. The Advisor may also, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through us or our subsidiaries), receive fees from our joint venture partners and co-owners of our properties (if any) for services provided to them with respect to their proportionate interests in the respective venture or co-ownership arrangement. Fees received from joint venture partners or co-owners of our properties and paid, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through us or our subsidiaries), to the Advisor may be more or less than similar fees that we pay to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. In the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated, the Advisor will be paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements earned prior to the date of termination. We will not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. See “— Compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates” below for detail regarding each of these fees, commissions and other forms of compensation.

The following summarizes the compensation and fees, including reimbursement of expenses, that are payable by us to the Advisor:

Advisory Fee. The advisory fee consists of a fixed component and a performance component. The fixed component of the advisory fee includes a fee that will be paid monthly to the Advisor for asset management services provided to us and a fee payable to the Advisor in connection with a disposition. The following table details the fixed component of the advisory fee.

	Fixed Component
% of aggregate cost of real property assets located in the U.S. (per annum)		0.80%
% of aggregate cost of real property assets located outside the U.S. (per annum)		1.20%
% of aggregate cost or investment of any interest in any other real estate-related entity or debt investment or other investment (per annum)		0.80%
% of total consideration paid in connection with the disposition of real property or a liquidity event involving gross market capitalization of the Company upon occurrence of a listing		1.00%

The performance component of the advisory fee, which generally will be paid to the Sponsor in its capacity as holder of a separate series of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership with special distribution rights (the “Special OP Units”), is a performance based amount in the form of an allocation and distribution. This amount will be paid to the Sponsor, so long as the Advisory Agreement has not been terminated, as a performance participation interest with respect to the Special OP Units or, at the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of this amount will be paid instead to the Advisor in the form of an allocation and distribution, as described in the Advisory Agreement. The performance component of the advisory fee is calculated as the lesser of: (1) 12.5% of (a) the annual total return amount less (b) any loss carryforward; and (2) the amount equal to (x) the annual total return amount, less (y) any loss carryforward, less (z) the amount needed to achieve an annual total return amount equal to 5.0% of the NAV per Fund Interest at the beginning of such year (the “Hurdle Amount”). The foregoing calculations are calculated on a per Fund Interest basis and multiplied by the weighted average Fund Interests outstanding during the year. In no event will the performance component of the advisory fee be less than zero. “Fund Interests” means the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and any OP Units held by third parties. Accordingly,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if the annual total return amount exceeds the Hurdle Amount plus the amount of any loss carryforward, then the Sponsor or the Advisor, as applicable, will earn a performance component equal to 100.0% of such excess, but limited to 12.5% of the annual total return amount that is in excess of the loss carryforward.

The “annual total return amount” referred to above means all distributions paid or accrued per Fund Interest plus any change in NAV per Fund Interest since the end of the prior calendar year, adjusted to exclude the negative impact on annual total return resulting from the Company’s payment or obligation to pay, or distribute, as applicable, the performance component of the advisory fee as well as ongoing distribution fees (i.e., the Company’s ongoing class-specific fees). If the performance component is being calculated with respect to a year in which the Company completes a liquidity event, for purposes of determining the annual total return amount, the change in NAV per Fund Interest will be deemed to equal the difference between the NAV per Fund Interest as of the end of the prior calendar year and the value per Fund Interest determined in connection with such liquidity event, as described in the Advisory Agreement. The “loss carryforward” referred to above tracks any negative annual total return amounts from prior years and offsets the positive annual total return amount for purposes of the calculation of the performance component of the advisory fee. The loss carryforward was zero as of December 31, 2019.

The performance component of the advisory fee is calculated as the lesser of: (i) 12.5% of (a) the annual total return amount less (b) any loss carryforward; and (ii) the amount equal to (x) the annual total return amount, less (y) any loss carryforward, less (z) the amount needed to achieve an annual total return amount equal to 5% of the NAV per fund interest at the beginning of such year. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the performance component of the advisory fee was issued to the Sponsor in the form of Class I OP Units. The 2018 performance component of the advisory fee in the amount of $0.7 million became payable to the Sponsor on December 31, 2018 and, on January 1, 2019, we issued 71,872 Class I OP Units to the Sponsor as payment for the 2018 performance component of the advisory fee. The 2019 performance component of the advisory fee in the amount of $2.9 million became payable to the Sponsor on December 31, 2019 and, on February 1, 2020, we issued 289,074 Class I OP units to the Sponsor as payment for the 2019 performance component of the advisory fee. In each case, the number of Class I OP Units issued was determined using the NAV per unit most recently determined by our board of directors as of the date of issuance.

Organization and Offering Expenses. The Advisor has agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf (including legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and expenses, due diligence expenses of participating broker dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, costs in connection with preparing sales materials, design and website expenses, fees and expenses of our escrow agent and transfer agent, fees to attend retail seminars sponsored by participating broker dealers and reimbursements for customary travel, lodging, and meals, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees) through December 31, 2019. We will reimburse the Advisor for all such advanced expenses ratably over the 60 months following December 31, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2020, we will reimburse the Advisor for any organization and offering expenses that it incurs on our behalf as and when incurred. After the termination of our primary offering and again after termination of the offering under our distribution reinvestment plan, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that the organization and offering expenses that we have incurred exceed 15% of our gross proceeds from the applicable offering. Any organization and offering expenses reimbursed by us which are deemed underwriting compensation will be subject to the 10% limit on underwriting compensation imposed by the FINRA.

Other Expense Reimbursements. Subject to certain limitations, we reimburse or otherwise pay the Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us, including, but not limited to personnel and related employment costs and overhead (including, but not limited to, allocated rent paid to both third parties and an affiliate of the Advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment, and other costs) incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates in performing the services under the Advisory Agreement, including, but not limited to, total compensation, benefits and other overhead of all employees involved in the performance of such services, including the compensation payable to our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer; provided, however, that we will not reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee.

Dealer Manager Agreement

We entered into the Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager in connection with our “best efforts” follow-on offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Reg. No. 333-229136). Pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement effective as of September 5, 2019, the Dealer Manager serves as the dealer manager for our follow-on public offering. The Dealer Manager is an affiliate of the Sponsor and a member firm of FINRA. The Dealer Manager was organized in December 2001 for the purpose of participating in and facilitating the distribution of securities of Black Creek Group affiliated entities. Under the current dealer manager agreement, the Dealer Manager provides certain sales, promotional and marketing services to us in connection with the distribution of the shares of common stock offered pursuant to our prospectus. Pursuant to the agreement, we pay the Dealer Manager a selling commission of up to 2.0% of the offering price and upfront dealer manager fees of up to 2.5% of the offering price of Class T shares. We will not pay selling commissions on Class W shares or Class I shares. In addition, we will pay a dealer manager fee to the Dealer Manager, all or a portion of which may be reallowed to unaffiliated participating broker dealers, and are equal to up to 2.5% of the offering price from the sale of Class T shares in the primary offering. We will not pay dealer manager fees on Class W shares or Class I shares. We will pay the Dealer Manager distribution fees that accrue daily and are calculated on outstanding Class T shares and Class W shares sold in the primary offering in an amount equal to 1.0% per annum and 0.5% per annum, respectively, of the NAV per Class T share or Class W share, respectively. We will cease paying the distribution fees with respect to individual Class T shares and Class W shares when they are no longer outstanding, including as a result of a conversion to Class I shares. Each Class T share or Class W share held within a stockholder’s account shall automatically convert into a number of Class I shares at the applicable conversion rate on the earliest of: (i) a listing of any of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) our merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; and (iii) the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager, in conjunction with our transfer agent, determines that the total upfront selling commissions, upfront dealer manager fees and ongoing distribution fees paid with respect to all shares of such class held by such stockholder within such account (including shares purchased through the distribution reinvestment plan or received as stock dividends) equals or exceeds 8.5% of the aggregate purchase price of all shares of such class held by such stockholder within such account and purchased in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager may also receive a portion of the organization and offering expense reimbursement amounts for non-accountable expenses and as marketing support fees. Our Dealer Manager is presently directly or indirectly majority owned by the estate of Mr. Blumberg, Mr. Mulvihill and Mr. Zucker, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and/or their affiliates.

Expense Support Agreement

On January 1, 2019, we and the Operating Partnership entered into the Second Amended and Restated Expense Support Agreement with the Advisor (the “Expense Support Agreement”). The Expense Support Agreement amended and restated the agreement that had been entered into by us, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor in October 2016, which was subsequently amended and restated as of July 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Advisor has agreed to defer certain fees and fund certain of our expenses, subject to the terms of the agreement. As amended, the Expense Support Agreement provides that, effective for each quarter commencing January 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020, the Advisor has agreed to defer payment of all or a portion of the fixed component of the advisory fee otherwise payable to it pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, if, for a particular quarter, the sum of (i) funds from operations (“FFO”), before taking into consideration any of the amounts paid to or by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, as disclosed in our quarterly and annual reports, (ii) our accrued acquisition expenses (net of any acquisition expenses paid by us or on our behalf), (iii) the performance component of the advisory fee, (iv) any adjustment that has been made in calculating FFO based on straight-line rent and amortization of above/below market leases, (v) organization and offering expenses reimbursed by us to the Advisor, and (vi) the fair market value gain amount (collectively, the “Expense Support Threshold”) is less than the aggregate gross cash distributions declared for such quarter, assuming all such cash distributions had been declared at the aggregate distribution rate for Class I shares authorized by our Board of Directors for such quarter (“Baseline Distributions”). For purposes of calculating the Expense Support Threshold, the “fair market value gain amount” is an amount equal to up to the total net realized and unrealized fair market value gain on our real property investments, derivative instruments, and debt for a quarter. The Advisor, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine the amount of such gain to be included in the calculation of the Expense Support Threshold each quarter; provided, that, in no event shall the Advisor determine to include an amount of such gain that causes our NAV per share, as calculated in accordance with its valuation procedures for such quarter, to decrease below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share and (ii) our most recently disclosed NAV per share. Further, for purposes of calculating the Expense Support Threshold, the amounts in each of subsections (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) of the definition will be a positive number if it was a deduction in calculating FFO for such quarter, and conversely will be a negative number if it was an addition in calculating its FFO for such quarter. For example, if straight-line rent and amortization of above/below-market leases was an addition in calculating FFO, then it would be a negative number in calculating the Expense Support Threshold. The amount of the fixed component of the advisory fee that will be deferred for a particular quarter, if any, will equal the lesser of (i) the difference between the Expense Support Threshold and Baseline Distributions for such quarter and (ii) the entire fixed component of the advisory fee payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement for such quarter.

In addition, if in a given calendar quarter, the Expense Support Threshold is less than Baseline Distributions for such quarter, and the deferred fixed component of the advisory fee is not sufficient to satisfy the shortfall for such quarter (a “Deficiency”) the Advisor will be required to fund certain of our or the Operating Partnership’s expenses in an amount equal to such Deficiency. In no event will the aggregate of the fixed component of the advisory fee deferred by the Advisor and the Deficiency support payments made by the Advisor between October 2016 and the termination or expiration of the Expense Support Agreement exceed $15,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”). Subject to certain conditions, the Advisor is entitled to reimbursement from us for any fixed component of the advisory fee that is deferred and any Deficiency support payments that the Advisor makes pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement; provided, that, other than under certain circumstances in connection with a liquidity event (described below), we will not be obligated to reimburse the Advisor for any amount not reimbursed by us to the Advisor within four years after the quarter in which such reimbursable amount originated. For any quarter in which the Expense Support Threshold exceeds Baseline Distributions for that quarter, the Expense Support Agreement requires that we reimburse the Advisor in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the difference between the Expense Support Threshold and Baseline Distributions and (ii) the sum of all outstanding reimbursable amounts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with the completion of a liquidity event, we will reimburse the Advisor for any outstanding reimbursable amounts that have not been repaid, including amounts that have not been reimbursed by us within four years after the quarter in which such reimbursable amount originated (the “Outstanding Reimbursable Amounts”); provided that we will reimburse the Advisor in these circumstances only if the “Annual Total Return Amount” exceeds the “Total Return Hurdle” (each as described below); and provided further that the amount of the reimbursement shall equal the lesser of (i) the sum of all Outstanding Reimbursable Amounts, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be reimbursed without causing the Annual Total Return Amount to be less than the Total Return Hurdle. For purposes of the Expense Support Agreement, “Annual Total Return Amount” means (i) a cumulative, non-compounded pre-tax rate of return equal to (a) the sum of (x) the cumulative gross distributions per share declared by us since the date on which it first issued shares to third-party retail investors in its public offering (the “Inception Date”), and (y) the “Ending NAV,” less $10.00 (the deemed NAV on the Inception Date), (b) divided by $10.00, (ii) divided by the number of years, including fractional years, between the Inception Date and the liquidity event. “Ending NAV” means the NAV per share determined in connection with a liquidity event. In connection with a listing, the Ending NAV will be an amount equal to the per share market value of the listed shares based upon the average closing price or, if the average closing price is not available, the average of the bid and asked prices, for the 30-day period beginning 90 days after such listing. Upon a liquidity event other than a listing, the Ending NAV shall be an amount equal to the per share consideration received by stockholders in connection with such liquidity event. For purposes of the Expense Support Agreement, “Total Return Hurdle” means a non-compounded, pre-tax annual rate of return equal to 5%. If Outstanding Reimbursable Amounts are payable to the Advisor, we will pay them prior to any payment of any other distribution to any other party in connection with a liquidity event. Further, in the event that we terminate the Advisory Agreement without cause and not in connection with a liquidity event, any reimbursable amounts that have not expired or been repaid pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support Agreement will become immediately due and payable to the Advisor. Our obligation to reimburse the Advisor will be non-interest bearing.

During the term of the Expense Support Agreement, we may be able to use cash flow from operations to pay distributions to its stockholders that would otherwise be used to pay the fixed component of the advisory fee or expenses. Although the Expense Support Agreement has an effective term through June 30, 2020, the Expense Support Agreement may be terminated prior thereto without cause or penalty by a majority of our independent directors upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Advisor. In addition, the Advisor’s obligations under the Expense Support Agreement will immediately terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination or non-renewal of the Advisory Agreement, (ii) our delivery of notice to the Advisor of its intention to terminate or not renew the Advisory Agreement, (iii) the completion of a liquidity event or (iv) the time the Advisor has deferred, waived or paid the Maximum Amount. Further, the Advisor may elect to immediately terminate its obligations under the Expense Support Agreement if we modify the calculation of FFO. Except with respect to the early termination events described above, any obligation of the Advisor to make payments under the Expense Support Agreement with respect to the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2020 will remain operative and in full force and effect through the end of such quarter.

When the Expense Support Agreement terminates, the Advisor will not have an obligation to defer fees or support expenses in order to support our cash distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts deferred or reimbursed pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration and remain subject to the reimbursement terms described above without modification.

The table below provides information regarding the fees deferred and expense support provided by the Advisor, pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate amount paid by the Advisor pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement was $13.6 million. No amounts had been reimbursed by us to the Advisor.

As of December 31, 2019, approximately $5.4 million was payable to the Advisor by us. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $0.7 million of expense support was payable to us by the Advisor.

Holdings of Shares of Common Stock, OP Units and Special OP Units

In connection with our formation, the Advisor initially purchased 20,000 shares of our Class I common stock for which it paid $200,000. The Advisor may not sell of its initial investment in 20,000 shares of our Class I common stock during the period it serves as the Advisor, but may transfer such shares to its affiliates. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. We contributed $200,000 received from the Advisor to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 20,000 OP Units. The Sponsor owns all of the Special OP Units, for which it contributed $1,000. As described above under “Advisory Fee,” so long as the Advisory Agreement has not been terminated, the performance component of the advisory fee will be paid in the form of an allocation and distribution to the Sponsor in its capacity as the holder of the Special OP Units or, at the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of this amount will be paid instead to the Advisor in the form of a fee, as described in the Advisory Agreement.

As described above under “— Advisory Agreement — Advisory Fee,” in January 2019, we issued 71,872 Class I OP Units to the Sponsor as payment for the 2018 performance component of the advisory fee and in February 2020, we issued 289,074 Class I OP Units to the Sponsor as payment for the 2019 performance component of the advisory fee. Subsequent to each issuance, the Sponsor made a pro rata distribution of these Class I OP Units to its members, resulting in Mr. Zucker owning 120,316 OP Units as of March 31, 2020.

The resale of any shares by our affiliates is subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule limits the number of shares that may be sold at any one time and the manner of such resale.

Policies and Procedures for Review of Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to our Charter, our independent directors evaluate at least annually whether the compensation that we contract to pay to the Advisor and its affiliates is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services performed. Our Charter also contains the following requirements relating to approval by our Board of Directors and independent director approval of transactions between us, on the one hand, and the Advisor or any of its affiliates (each, a “Related Party”), on the other hand:

•

We may purchase or lease an asset from a Related Party if a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, finds that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price no greater than the cost of the asset to the Related Party, unless there is substantial justification for the amount in excess of the cost to the Related Party and such excess is reasonable (as determined by a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent directors);

•

A Related Party may purchase or lease an asset from us if a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, determines that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us;

•

We may not borrow money from a Related Party unless a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve the transaction as fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties; and

•

Other transactions with a Related Party generally require a majority of our Board of Directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, to approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from an unaffiliated third party.

Our independent directors, acting as a group, will resolve potential conflicts of interest whenever they determine that the exercise of independent judgment by our Board of Directors or the Advisor or its affiliates

TABLE OF CONTENTS

could reasonably be compromised. However, the independent directors may not take any action which, under Maryland law, must be taken by the entire Board or which is otherwise not within their authority. The independent directors, as a group, are authorized to retain their own legal and financial advisors. Those conflict of interest matters that cannot be delegated to the independent directors, as a group, under Maryland law must be acted upon by both our Board of Directors and the independent directors.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CHARTER

On February 18, 2016, the SEC declared our registration statement for our initial public offering of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock effective. On September 5, 2019, our initial public offering was terminated immediately upon effectiveness of our registration statement for our follow-on public offering of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock, and our follow-on public offering commenced the same day. Under the follow-on public offering, we are offering up to $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock in the primary offering and up to $500.0 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares.

Because our shares of common stock are not listed on a national securities exchange, and therefore are not “Covered Securities” as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are required to register our public offering in each state in which we offer securities for sale. In offerings that are subject to their regulation, many states hold real estate investment trusts to the standards set forth in the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts promulgated by the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”). In connection with the registration of our follow-on public offering, the securities administrator in one state identified a provision in our charter that varies from the wording in the NASAA REIT Guidelines. As a condition to registering our ongoing public offering in this state, this securities administrator has required that we propose an amendment to our charter to conform this provision to the wording used in the NASAA REIT Guidelines.

Accordingly, our Board of Directors has proposed the following amendment to our charter, has declared it advisable, and has directed that this amendment be submitted for consideration by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. As described in more detail below, the proposed amendment would change language in one section of our charter to conform with the NASAA REIT Guidelines.

If the proposal is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the approved amendment will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”). We intend to make this filing promptly after the Annual Meeting if this proposal is approved. If the proposed amendment is not approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting, then the proposed amendment to our charter will not be implemented and the relevant sections of our charter will remain unchanged.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to amend our charter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of votes against the proposed charter amendment.

Proposed Amendment

Below, we show the proposed amendment to our charter by including excerpt from the relevant section of our charter with a single line through text we propose to delete and a single line underneath and bold text for what we propose to add. The proposed charter amendment consists of the following changes to Section 12.2 of our charter:

Section 12.2. Voting Rights of Stockholders. Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares then outstanding and the mandatory provisions of any applicable laws or regulations, the Stockholders of Common Shares shall be entitled to vote only on the following matters: (a) election or removal of Directors, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, as provided in Sections 12.1, 8.4 and 8.11 hereof; (b) amendment of the Charter, as provided in Article XIV hereof; (c) dissolution of the Corporation; (d) merger or consolidation of the Corporation into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; and (e) such other matters with respect to which the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution declaring that a proposed action is advisable and directing that the matter be submitted to the Stockholders for approval or ratification. Without the approval of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote on the matter, the Board may not (i) amend the Charter to adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Stockholders; (ii) amend provisions of the Charter relating to Director qualifications, fiduciary duties, liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or investment restrictions; (iii) liquidate or dissolve the Corporation other than before the initial investment in Property; (iv) sell

TABLE OF CONTENTS

all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business; or (v) cause the merger or reorganization of the Corporation.

This amendment would remove language that certain state securities administrators believe could be used to dilute common stockholder voting rights, in the event that we have classes or series of stock in the future with special voting rights. As we have no classes or series of stock with special voting rights, such as preferred stock, we do not expect this amendment to have a meaningful impact on us or our stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL NO. 4: ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will also vote to approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, including, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposals 1, 2 or 3 if there are not sufficient votes for these proposals.

Approval of the proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders who are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Proxies received will be voted FOR approval of this proposal to adjourn the special meeting unless stockholders designate otherwise.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING IF NECESSARY.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ADVANCE NOTICE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND
PROPOSALS FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING

Proposals received from stockholders are given careful consideration by us in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Stockholder proposals are eligible for consideration for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders if they are received by us on or before [December 14, 2020]. Any proposal should be directed to the attention of our Secretary at 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202.

For any proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders but is instead sought to be presented directly at the meeting, Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act permits our management to exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies we solicit unless we receive timely notice of the proposal in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws. Our current bylaws require that, in order for proposals of stockholders to be considered timely and eligible for consideration at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, such proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the bylaws, not later than 5:00 pm, Mountain Time, on [December 14, 2020] and not earlier than [November 14, 2020].

For additional requirements, a stockholder may refer to our bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained from our Secretary. If we do not receive timely notice pursuant to our bylaws, the proposal or nomination may be excluded from consideration at the meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board of Directors knows of no other business to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted on such matters in accordance with the discretion of the persons named as proxies therein, or their substitutes, present and acting at the meeting.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation not contained in this proxy statement, and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized. The delivery of this proxy statement shall not, under any circumstances, imply that there has not been any change in the information set forth herein since the date of the proxy statement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements, and other information with the Commission. Our Commission filings are also available to the public from commercial document retrieval services and on the website maintained by the Commission at www.sec.gov. Such information will also be furnished upon written request to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attention: Investor Relations, and can also be accessed through our website at www.bcindustrialiv.com.

The Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares, and we will promptly provide a separate copy. You can notify us by delivering an oral or written request to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc., 518 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1700, Denver, Colorado 80202, Attention: Investor Relations, or by telephone at (303) 228-2200.
