Introductory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed by Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc. (formerly known as Reven Housing REIT, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30, 2019, as amended on September 20, 2019 and October 21, 2019 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, SOR PORT Holdings, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Parent”), and SOR PORT, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and, together with the Company and Parent, the “Parties”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on November 4, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (now known as Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., “SOR”).

The Merger became effective (the “Effective Time”) on the date and time at which Articles of Merger with respect to the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) were filed with, and accepted for record by, the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the “SDAT”), as described in more detail below in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information provided in Items 3.02 and 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On the Closing Date, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub completed the Merger pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (each, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) (excluding Unvested Company Restricted Stock Awards (as defined below)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to approximately $5.13 per Share (without interest and subject to applicable withholding of taxes) (the “Merger Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each award in respect of Shares subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (each, an “Unvested Company Restricted Stock Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became immediately and fully vested, all restrictions thereon lapsed, and such Unvested Company Restricted Stock Award was automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest thereon) equal to the product of the total number of Shares subject to such Unvested Company Restricted Stock Award and the Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholding of taxes.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 3, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference, as amended by the Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 20, 2019, by and among the Parties, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 20, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2019, by and among the Parties, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on October 22, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 4, 2019, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company notified NASDAQ Capital Markets (“NASDAQ”) of the completion of the Merger and requested that NASDAQ suspend trading in the Shares and file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting from NASDAQ and deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the outstanding Shares. As a result, all Shares were removed from trading on NASDAQ prior to the beginning of trading on NASDAQ on November 4, 2019. Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Shares. Once such measures become effective, the Company will no longer be required to prepare and file public reports and will cease to file reports with the SEC.
