KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), through its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a four-year secured mortgage loan with Bank of America, N.A., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to $72.5 million secured by the 1800 West Loop Building and the Iron Point Business Park (the &#8220;Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility&#8221;).  The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility is comprised of $59.5 million of revolving debt and $13.0 million of non-revolving debt available to be used for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents.  At closing, the Company had not drawn on the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility.  The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility matures on May 1, 2017, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2018,  subject to certain conditions contained in the loan documents.&#160; The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 225 basis points over one-month LIBOR.  Monthly payments are initially interest only. Beginning June 1, 2016, and to the extent that there are amounts outstanding under the non-revolving portion of the loan, monthly payments will include interest and principal amortization payments of $80,000 per month.  The remaining principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees will be due at maturity.&#160; The Company has the right to prepay the loan in whole at any time or in part from time to time, subject to the payment of certain expenses potentially incurred by the lender as a result of the prepayment and subject to certain other conditions contained in the loan documents. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">KBS SOR Properties, LLC, a separate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company indirectly owns all of its real estate assets (&#8220;KBS SOR Properties&#8221;), provided a limited guaranty of the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility with respect to certain potential deficiencies, losses or damages suffered by the lender resulting from certain intentional acts committed by the borrower or KBS SOR Properties in violation of the loan documents. KBS SOR Properties also provided a guaranty of the principal balance and any interest or other sums outstanding under the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility in the event of certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the borrower.  </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;">1</font></div></div><hr

ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF – BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF REGISTRANT
Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility
On May 1, 2013, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the "Company"), through its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a four-year secured mortgage loan with Bank of America, N.A., an unaffiliated lender, for borrowings of up to $72.5 million secured by the 1800 West Loop Building and the Iron Point Business Park (the "Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility").  The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility is comprised of $59.5 million of revolving debt and $13.0 million of non-revolving debt available to be used for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents.  At closing, the Company had not drawn on the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility.  The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility matures on May 1, 2017, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 1, 2018,  subject to certain conditions contained in the loan documents.  The Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 225 basis points over one-month LIBOR.  Monthly payments are initially interest only. Beginning June 1, 2016, and to the extent that there are amounts outstanding under the non-revolving portion of the loan, monthly payments will include interest and principal amortization payments of $80,000 per month.  The remaining principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees will be due at maturity.  The Company has the right to prepay the loan in whole at any time or in part from time to time, subject to the payment of certain expenses potentially incurred by the lender as a result of the prepayment and subject to certain other conditions contained in the loan documents.
KBS SOR Properties, LLC, a separate wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company indirectly owns all of its real estate assets ("KBS SOR Properties"), provided a limited guaranty of the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility with respect to certain potential deficiencies, losses or damages suffered by the lender resulting from certain intentional acts committed by the borrower or KBS SOR Properties in violation of the loan documents. KBS SOR Properties also provided a guaranty of the principal balance and any interest or other sums outstanding under the Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility in the event of certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving the borrower.
