Our business is dependent on the communications and information systems of our Advisor and other third-party service providers. Our Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and has implemented a cybersecurity program that applies to us and its operations.

Cybersecurity Program Overview

Our Advisor has instituted a cybersecurity program designed to identify, assess, and mitigate cyber risks applicable to us. The cyber risk management program involves risk assessments, implementation of security measures, and ongoing monitoring of systems and networks, including networks on which we rely. Our Advisor actively monitors the current threat landscape in an effort to identify material risks arising from new and evolving cybersecurity threats, including material risks faced by us.

Our Advisor has identified a Cyber Incident Response Team, or Response Team, who is responsible for providing appropriate oversight, strategic direction, and decision making for an event that potentially could cause a material impact to the business. The Response Team includes the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel, and our Vice President of Operations and these individuals are responsible for coordinating the incident response, including any required notification to the Audit Committee or Board of Directors.

We rely on our Advisor to engage external experts, including cybersecurity assessors, consultants, and auditors to evaluate cybersecurity measures and risk management processes, including those applicable to us.

Assessment of Cybersecurity Risk

In the past three years, we have not experienced a material cybersecurity breach and the potential impact of risks from cybersecurity threats on us are assessed on an ongoing basis, and how such risks could materially affect our business strategy, operational results, and financial condition are regularly evaluated. During the reporting period, we have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, that we believe have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, us, including its business strategy, operational results, and financial condition.
