Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Reference is made to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Strategic Storage Growth Trust,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Registrant"), SS Growth Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SSGT OP"), Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("SST II"), Strategic Storage
Operating Partnership II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SST II OP"), and SST II Growth Acquisition, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company ("Merger Sub").
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on January 24, 2019: (i) SST II acquired the Registrant by
way of a merger of the Registrant with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub being the surviving entity (the "REIT Merger"); and (ii) immediately after the REIT Merger, SSGT OP merged with and into SST II OP, with SST II OP continuing
as the surviving entity and a subsidiary of SST II (the "Partnership Merger" and, together with the REIT Merger, the "Mergers").
At the effective time of the REIT Merger (the "REIT Merger Effective Time"), each share of the Registrant's common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), outstanding immediately prior to the REIT Merger Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Registrant and its subsidiaries or SST II and its subsidiaries) was automatically converted into
the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $12.00, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). Immediately prior to the REIT Merger Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock that were
subject to vesting and other restrictions also became fully vested and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon the REIT Merger. The Merger Consideration is expected to be paid to the Registrant's stockholders within 10
business days of the closing of the Mergers.
At the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the "Partnership Merger Effective
Time"), each outstanding unit of partnership interest in SSGT OP ("OP Units") was converted automatically into 1.127 units of partnership interest in SST II OP (the "Partnership Merger Consideration").
The description of the REIT Merger, the Partnership Merger and the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 is a summary and is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form
8-K
filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on October 2, 2018, and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.03.
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders
The information set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Upon the REIT Merger Effective Time, each holder of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the REIT Merger
Effective Time ceased to have any rights as a stockholder of the Registrant (other than the right of the holders of Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration).
Upon the Partnership Merger Effective Time, each holder of OP Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger
Effective Time ceased to have any rights as a holder of OP Units (other than the right of the holders of OP Units to receive the Partnership Merger Consideration).
Item 5.01.
Change in Control of Registrant
The information set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
As a result of the completion of the REIT Merger, a change in control of the Registrant
occurred, and Merger Sub, as successor by merger to the Registrant, continued as a subsidiary of SST II. As a result of the completion of the Partnership Merger, a change in control of SSGT OP occurred, and SST II OP, as the surviving entity in the
Partnership Merger, continued as a subsidiary of SST II.
