Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby supplemented by adding the following immediately after the sixth paragraph thereof:

CIM Real Assets & Credit Fund, a registered closed-end management investment company and an affiliate of CIM Group (“CIM RACR”), intends to acquire for investment purposes Common Shares through secondary market transactions, based on a belief that, among other things, the Common Shares are presently undervalued. Such acquisitions are expected to be funded by working capital of CIM RACR and/or the proceeds of the continuous offering launched by CIM RACR on May 4, 2020. The execution of such proposed acquisitions is subject to market and industry conditions, the market price of the Common Shares and other factors as may be considered from time to time by CIM RACR.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The supplementary information set forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 15 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

As reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2021, the Issuer has paid and it is likely that the Issuer will continue to seek to pay some or part of the asset management fees payable to CIM Capital, LLC during 2021 in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in lieu of cash payment.

The Reporting Persons acquired their Common Shares for investment purposes. As permitted by law, the Reporting Persons, individually or in the aggregate, may acquire or cause to be acquired additional Common Shares, shares of Series A Preferred Stock or related securities or may dispose of all or a portion of the Common Shares, shares of Series A Preferred Stock or related securities that they now beneficially own or may hereafter acquire in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including to and/or from CIM Group and its affiliates.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, Messrs. Ressler, Shemesh and Kuba are members of the board of directors of the Issuer and, as such, may, from time to time, be involved in discussions that relate to one or more of such matters. Each of Messrs. Ressler, Shemesh and Kuba disclaim any obligation to report on any plan or proposal with respect to any of such matters that develops or occurs as a result of his role as a director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer’s actions.
