2022 Fourth Quarter & Year End Update H. Michael Schwartz – Chairman and CEO This property is owned by Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein. Only the prospectus makes such an offer. The literature must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus in order to fully understand all of the implications and risks of the offering of securities to which it relates. Please read the Prospectus in its entirety before investing for complete information and to learn more about the risk associated with this offering. No offering is made to New York residents except by a Prospectus filled with the Department of Law of the State of New York. The Attorney General of the State of New York has not passed on or endorsed the merits of this offering. Shares Offered through Pacific Oak Capital Markets, LLC (Member of FINRA and SIPC).
Risk Factors & Other Information OTHER INFORMATION We encourage you to review our SEC filings at www.sec.gov. An investment in our shares is not suitable for all investors. An investment in our shares involves significant risks and is only suitable for persons who have adequate financial means, desire a relatively long-term investment and will not need immediate liquidity from their investment. Investors should only purchase shares if they can afford a complete loss of their investment. Generally, a purchaser of shares must have, excluding the value of a purchaser’s home, furnishings and automobiles, either: a net worth of at least $250,000: or a gross annual income of at least $70,000 and a net worth of at least $70,000. Please see the prospectus for a full description of suitability standards. Residents of Alabama, California, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Vermont should consult the prospectus for details regarding the more stringent suitability standards that apply to them based on their states of residence. We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” beginning on page 172 of our prospectus to read about limitations on transferability. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of our prospectus to read about the risks you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. The most significant risks include the following: An investment in this offering is speculative, illiquid and involves a high degree of risk, including loss of the entire investment. No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock and we may not list our shares on a national securities exchange before three to five years after completion of this offering, if at all; therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares. If you sell your shares, it will likely be at a substantial discount. Our charter does not require us to pursue a liquidity transaction at any time. Until we generate operating cash flows sufficient to pay distributions to you, we may pay distributions from financing activities, which may include borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows or the net proceeds of this offering (which may constitute a return of capital). Therefore, it is likely that some or all of the distributions that we make will represent a return of capital to you, at least in the first few years of operation. We are not prohibited from undertaking such activities by our charter, bylaws or investment policies, and we may use an unlimited amount from any source to pay our distributions, and it is likely that we will use offering proceeds to fund a majority of our initial distributions. This is an initial public offering; we have little operating history, and the prior performance of real estate programs sponsored by our sponsor or its affiliates may not be indicative of our future results. This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are unable to raise substantial funds in this offering, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments, and the value of your investment may fluctuate more widely with the performance of specific investments. We are a “blind pool” because we have not identified any properties to acquire with the net proceeds from this offering. As a result, you will not be able to evaluate the economic merits of our future investments prior to their purchase. We may be unable to invest the net proceeds from this offering on acceptable terms to investors, or at all. Investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution in their investment primarily because (i) we pay upfront fees in connection with the sale of our shares that reduce the proceeds to us, (ii) pursuant to our private offering, which terminated on March 17, 2022, we sold approximately 10.6 million shares of our Class P common stock at a weighted average purchase price of approximately $9.53 per share and received weighted average net proceeds of approximately $8.76 per share, and (iii) we paid organization and other offering expenses in connection with our private offering. There are substantial conflicts of interest among us and our sponsor, advisor, property manager, and transfer agent. Our advisor will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties, including conflicts with SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc., the parent company of our sponsor, and Strategic Storage Growth Trust III, Inc., and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could adversely affect our investment opportunities. We have no employees and must depend on our advisor to select investments and conduct our operations, and there is no guarantee that our advisor will devote adequate time or resources to us. We will pay substantial fees and expenses to our advisor, its affiliates and participating broker-dealers, which will reduce cash available for investment and distribution. We may incur substantial debt, which could hinder our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders or could decrease the value of your investment. We may fail to qualify as a REIT, which could adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions. We have incurred a net loss to date, have an accumulated deficit, and our operations may not be profitable in 2023 Our board of directors may change any of our investment objectives without your consent.

The performance of REITs sponsored by SRA do not share all of the same characteristics as those included in the data provided by NAREIT and, therefore, the total returns of such REITs will likely differ from the REITs included in the NAREIT data. Such differences of the REITs sponsored by SRA include, but are not limited to: (1) the REITs are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ nor is there a public market for shares of their common stock, nor may there ever be one, (2) the REITs may be smaller in size, (3) there is a lack of liquidity, and (4) the REITs do not have a free float. In addition, the REITs pay substantial fees and expenses to their advisor, its affiliates and participating broker-dealers, which reduces cash available for investment and distribution.

Equity Update Equity Update Approx. $162 Million raised as of 3/31/23 (public and private offerings) 57% Loan to value Approximately $4.3 Million in acquisition pipeline Distributions(1) SST VI pays a distribution rate of approximately $0.001698 per day per share (equivalent to $0.62 per share annually) to Class A, Class T and Class W stockholders of record. The T share distribution is reduced by an ongoing stockholder servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 1% of the T share purchase price. The W share distribution is reduced by an ongoing dealer manager servicing fee equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of the W share purchase price. (1) We have paid and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, therefore, we will have fewer funds available for acquisitions of properties and our stockholders overall return may be reduced. Future distributions are at the sole discretion of our board of directors and are not guaranteed. This property is owned by Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc.

We believe that NOI is useful for investors as it provides a measure of the operating performance of our operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the operation of the properties. Additionally, we believe that NOI (also referred to as property operating income) is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, our use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
