ACCURACY OF PERSONAL DATA

BGO IREIT will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal data collected by BGO IREIT is accurate and complete as reasonably required in connection with the purposes, including where personal data is likely to be used by BGO IREIT to make a decision that affects the individual to whom the personal data relates or if the personal data is likely to be disclosed to a third party.

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

BGO IREIT takes steps to ensure the security of your personal data, regardless of the format in which it is held, while in its custody is appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including physical security measures (such as the use of locked cabinets and storage facilities) and technological security measures (such as the use of passwords and encryption).

BGO IREIT will take appropriate steps to protect personal data disclosed to third parties, such as by contractual agreements stipulating the confidentiality and security of the information and the purpose for which it is to be used.

PERSONAL DATA TRANSFER

Visitors to this website who reside outside of the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to and processed in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the country in which you initially provided the information, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice.

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Once personal data is no longer required to fulfill the purposes and is no longer required or permitted to be retained for legal or business purposes, it will be destroyed or made anonymous.

ACCESS TO PERSONAL DATA

Under certain circumstances, you may have rights under local data protection laws in relation to your personal data. To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you may request access to the personal data we maintain about you or request that we correct, amend, delete or block the information by contacting us as indicated below.

An individual may, upon written request to BGO IREIT's Privacy Officer, access the personal data about the individual that is in the custody of BGO IREIT. Within 30 days of such request (or such longer time as permitted by law), BGO IREIT will inform the individual of existence, use, and disclosure of such information.

An individual may, upon written request to BGO IREIT, request a correction to an error or omission in any personal data that is under BGO IREIT's control. BGO IREIT will, as appropriate, amend the information as requested and use its best efforts to send the corrected personal data to each third party to which it has disclosed the information during the preceding year.

The written request must provide sufficient detail to enable BGO IREIT, with a reasonable effort, to identify the individual and the personal data or correction being sought.

An individual's rights to access his or her personal data are not absolute. BGO IREIT may deny access when denial of access is required or permitted by law. If we deny an individual's request for access to, or refuse a request to correct personal data, we will explain why, to the extent permitted by law.

Disclaimers/References/Legal

This sales and advertising literature is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. An offering is made only by the prospectus. This 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 the prospectus relates. A copy of the prospectus must be made available to you in connection with any offering. No offering is made except by a prospectus filed with the Department of Law of the State of New York. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Attorney General of the State of New York nor any other state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of our common stock, determined if the prospectus is truthful or complete or passed on or endorsed the merits of the offering. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Financial data is estimated and unaudited. The words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to IREIT by BGO, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including BGO REIT Operating Partnership LP, unless the context requires otherwise.

Opinions expressed reflect the current opinions of IREIT by BGO as of the date appearing in the materials only and are based on IREIT by BGO’s opinions of the current market environment, which is subject to change. Stockholders, financial professionals and prospective investors should not rely solely upon the information presented when making an investment decision and should review the most recent prospectus, as supplemented, available at www.bgoireit.com. Certain information contained in the materials discusses general market activity, industry or sector trends, or other broad-based economic, market or political conditions and should not be construed as research or investment advice.

An investment in shares of common stock of BGO Industrial Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“IREIT”) involves a high degree of risk. These securities should only be purchased if you can afford to lose your complete investment. Please read the prospectus for a description of the material risks associated with an investment in IREIT by BGO. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • We have no operating history and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully achieve our investment objectives.
  • This is a “blind pool” offering. Other than the Seed Joint Venture (as defined in the prospectus), you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them.
  • Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares.
  • Our share repurchase plan will provide stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any month. In addition, repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend for any period of time or indefinitely our share repurchase plan if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, such as when repurchase requests would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us that would outweigh the benefit of repurchasing our shares. Upon suspension of our share repurchase plan, our share repurchase plan requires our board of directors to consider at least quarterly whether the continued suspension of the plan is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders; however, we are not required to authorize the recommencement of the share repurchase plan within any specified period of time. Our board of directors cannot terminate our share repurchase plan absent a liquidity event which results in our stockholders receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange or where otherwise required by law. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
  • We are a perpetual-life REIT. While we may consider a liquidity event at any time in the future, we are not obligated by our charter or otherwise to effect a liquidity event at any time.
  • We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of or repayments under our assets, borrowings, return of capital and offering proceeds, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
  • The purchase price and repurchase price for shares of our common stock will generally be based on our prior month’s NAV (subject to material changes as described above) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.
  • We have no employees and are dependent on the Adviser to conduct our operations. The Adviser will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and Other BGO Accounts (as defined in the prospectus), the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the substantial fees that we will pay to the Adviser.
    This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected.
  • On acquiring shares, you will experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of your investment.
    There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares. See “Description of Capital Stock—Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer” in the prospectus.
  • If we fail to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
  • We do not own the BGO name, but we are permitted to use it as part of our corporate name pursuant to a trademark license agreement with an affiliate of BentallGreenOak. Use of the name by other parties or the termination of our trademark license agreement may harm our business.

This sales and advertising literature contains forward-looking statements about IREIT by BGO’s business, including, in particular, statements about its plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words or the negatives thereof. These statements include IREIT by BGO’s plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond IREIT by BGO’s control. Although IREIT by BGO believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and IREIT by BGO’s actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by IREIT by BGO or any other person that its objectives and plans, which IREIT by BGO considers to be reasonable, will be achieved.

You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that IREIT by BGO believes are material to its business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, IREIT by BGO does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
