Monitor the SSGT III stockholder vote, expected in Q4 2026. The merger is a consolidation of two non-traded REITs with common sponsorship, creating a larger entity but offering no premium to SSGT III holders. The lack of a public market for SST VI shares means liquidity for SSGT III stockholders will remain limited post-merger. Watch for any competing acquisition proposals or material adverse changes that could affect the deal's completion.
