LADERA RANCH, CA – (August 7, 2024) – Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”) announced today that its board of directors (the “Board”) has approved an estimated per share net asset value (“NAV”) of its Class P, Class A, Class T, Class W, Class Y and Class Z common stock of $10.00, calculated as of March 31, 2024.

“We are pleased to announce SST VI’s first estimated value per share of $10.00,” said H. Michael Schwartz, chairman, president and chief executive officer of SST VI. “The value of our existing assets have increased, and we believe that continuing to invest in stabilized and growth self storage assets will drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

On August 7, 2024, the Board approved the estimated per share NAV of $10.00 based on the estimated value of SST VI’s assets less the estimated value of its liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding on an adjusted fully diluted basis, calculated as of March 31, 2024.

Kroll, LLC (“Kroll”), an independent third-party real estate valuation and advisory firm, was engaged to provide valuation services of SST VI’s assets and liabilities. Upon SST VI’s nominating and corporate governance committee’s receipt and review of the Kroll valuation report, the committee concluded that the range in estimated net asset value per share of $7.45 to $11.00, with an approximate mid-range value per share of $9.44, was reasonable and recommended to the Board that it adopt, and the Board subsequently determined to adopt, $10.00 as the estimated net asset value per share for all shares. This determination was based on the Board’s assessment of SST VI’s portfolio, the growth remaining in various properties, and the estimated range of values provided by Kroll.

SST VI acquired its Real Estate Facilities for approximately $513.0 million (Canadian properties are translated based on the foreign exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2024). The total appraised value of the Real Estate Facilities as calculated by us with respect to an estimated net asset value per share of $10.00, which is based on the valuation provided by Kroll, is approximately $600.7 million (Canadian properties are translated based on the foreign exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2024), representing an approximate 17.1% increase in the total value over the aggregate purchase price.

The valuation was determined in compliance with Investment Program Association Practice Guideline 2013-01 regarding valuations of publicly registered non-listed REITs (“IPA guidelines”). Consistent with the IPA guidelines, the valuation does not include a portfolio premium that may reasonably be expected to accrue in a typical real estate valuation process conducted for transaction purposes, nor does it reflect an enterprise value.
