Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 18, 2016, law enforcement authorities executed a search warrant at the corporate office of United Mortgage Trust (the “Trust”) in Grapevine, Texas. The search warrant was issued by a Magistrate Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. In addition, law enforcement officers served certain executive officers and employees of the Trust’s advisor and affiliates with grand jury subpoenas seeking the production of documents related to the operation of the Trust and its affiliates. The Trust does not believe that it or its officers, trustees or employees have violated any laws or regulations, and it intends to cooperate fully with the government’s investigation. The Trust cannot, however, predict what additional action, if any, government authorities might take in the future.
