The offering consists of four classes of common stock, including Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shares. During the escrow period, the shares will be priced at $10.00 each with different selling commissions, dealer manager fees and ongoing stockholder servicing fees that will not exceed 8.75 percent.
Class T shares, available through brokerage and transactional-based accounts, are priced at $10.35 and include a 3.0 percent selling commission, a 0.5 percent dealer manager fee, and an annual 0.85 percent stockholder servicing fee comprised of a 0.65 percent advisor fee and a 0.20 percent dealer fee.
