Exhibit 99.1
![img139739192_0.jpg](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0000950170-24-117161/img139739192_0.jpg)
the BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU do not sell (TENDER) your shares to WEST 4 CAPITAL
If you are considering selling your shares to West 4 Capital LP, please read all the information below
Dear InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income Stockholder,
I am writing to you on behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”) of InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc. (“InPoint”) to notify you about an unsolicited third-party mini-tender offer (the “West 4 Offer”) being made for your shares of InPoint Class P common stock by West 4 Capital LP (“West 4”), in what we believe is an opportunistic attempt to purchase your shares. West 4 is offering to purchase up to an aggregate of 375,000 shares of InPoint’s Class P common stock at a low price of $7.65 per share (the “Shares”). This is not an offer from InPoint.
InPoint is required by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations to inform you of its position, if any, with respect to the West 4 Offer. In evaluating the West 4 Offer, the Board considered, among other things, the following factors:
(i)The West 4 Offer price of $7.65 per share is approximately 53.6% lower than the InPoint’s most recent estimated net asset values (“NAV”) of Class P common stock of $16.4883 as of September 30, 2024.1
(ii)The West 4 Offer represents an opportunistic attempt by West 4 to purchase the Shares and make a large profit, by buying your shares at a deeply discounted price relative to the most recent NAV thereby depriving you of the potential opportunity to realize the full, long-term value of your investment in InPoint.
After carefully evaluating the West 4 Offer and consulting with InPoint’s management and such advisors as deemed appropriate by the Board, the Board recommenDS THAT YOU DO NOT SELL (tender) YOUR SHARES TO WEST 4.
Please note that stockholders who tender their shares will lose their right to receive any future distributions that are paid after the conclusion of the West 4 Offer. InPoint currently pays distributions at an annual gross distribution rate of $1.25 per common share. While there are no guarantees of future distributions or liquidity and there can be no certainty regarding the long-term value of InPoint’s common stock because the value is dependent on a number of factors, stockholders who tender their shares pursuant to the West 4 Offer would give up their rights to any future distributions after the conclusion of the West 4 Offer as well as their rights to receive any proceeds in the future.
As stated by West 4, the West 4 Offer is being made “for investment purposes and with the intention of making a profit from the ownership of the Shares.” West 4 determined the West 4 Offer price pursuant to its own analysis and states that it has “not made an independent appraisal of the Shares or [InPoint’s] assets in connection with the Offer and is not qualified to appraise real estate.” Hence, West 4 acknowledges that its offer price was established based on West 4’s own analysis and objectives without consideration of your financial objectives.
We urge you to consult your financial advisor and exercise caution with respect to this and other mini-tender offers. The SEC has cautioned investors about these kinds of offers in an investor alert, as they are often made in an attempt to profit at investors’ expense. The SEC noted that these offers “have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard,” and cautioned that investors need to scrutinize these types of offers carefully. To read more about the risks of “mini-tender” offers, please review the alert at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
SEC rules permit third parties, such as West 4, to distribute unsolicited mini-tender offers to stockholders of public companies. However, in order to maintain the confidentiality of our stockholders, InPoint has only provided stockholder mailing information needed to distribute the West 4 Offer materials to a third-party financial printer that is unaffiliated with West 4. Therefore, West 4 will not have access to any additional stockholder information unless the stockholder agrees to accept the tender offer by West 4. None of InPoint’s directors or executive officers intends to tender any shares in the West 4 Offer.
While the Board recommends that you do not sell your shares to West 4, the Board is aware that in light of the current suspension of the share redemption plan that some stockholders may need near-term liquidity. The Board understands that you must make your own independent decision whether to tender or refrain from tendering your shares. We strongly urge you to carefully consider all aspects of the West 4 Offer in light of your own circumstances, including (i) your investment objectives, (ii) your financial circumstances, including your tolerance for risk and need for immediate liquidity that cannot be satisfied by other means, (iii) other financial opportunities available to you, (iv) your own tax position and tax consequences, and (v) other factors you determine are relevant to your decision. You should carefully review all of the West 4 Offer documents sent to you by West 4, as well as InPoint’s publicly available annual, quarterly and other reports filed with the SEC at www.sec.gov, and consult with your own financial, tax and other advisors in evaluating the West 4 Offer before deciding whether to tender your shares.
PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE IMPACT OF A SALE ON YOUR OWN PARTICULAR SITUATION.
If you have any questions or need further information about your options, please feel free to contact our Investor Services team at 866-My-Inland (866-694-6526).
If you do not wish to tender your shares, simply IGNORE the West 4 Offer materials and DO NOT RESPOND.
We appreciate your trust in InPoint and the Board and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
![img139739192_1.jpg](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0000950170-24-117161/img139739192_1.jpg)
