June 1, 2021 Transaction Price – Distribution Reinvestment Plan and Share Redemption Program

Per the terms of the distribution reinvestment plan of Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or "Hines Global"), distributions issued to participants in the plan will be reinvested in additional shares of the class of the Company’s common stock to which such distributions relate at a price equal to the transaction price applicable to such class of common shares on the date the shares are issued. In addition, subject to the limitations of and restrictions on the Company’s share redemption program, and subject to funds being available as described in the program, shares redeemed under the Company’s share redemption program will be redeemed at a price equal to the transaction price applicable to such class of common shares at the time the shares are redeemed; provided, that, shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95% of the transaction price (unless such 5% holding discount is waived under the limited circumstances described in the Company’s share redemption program).

Set forth below is the transaction price for each class of the Company’s common stock as of April 30, 2021, which is the transaction price (i) at which distributions declared for May 2021 will be reinvested as of the first business day of June 2021 and (ii) applicable to redemptions completed pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program as of May 31, 2021:
Class TClass SClass DClass IClass AXClass TXClass IXClass JX
Transaction Price (per share)$10.15 $10.15 $10.15 $10.15 $10.15 $10.15 $10.15 $10.15 

The transaction price for each of the Company's share classes is equal to such class’s net asset value ("NAV") per share as of April 30, 2021. The NAV per share as of April 30, 2021 is the same for each of the Company's share classes. A description of the calculation of the NAV per share is set forth below.

April 30, 2021 NAV Per Share

The Company's board of directors has appointed a valuation committee comprised of independent directors, which we refer to herein as the valuation committee, to be responsible for the oversight of the valuation process. The valuation committee has adopted a valuation policy, as approved by the Company's board of directors, and as amended from time to time, that contains a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of the Company's NAV which is more fully described below. The Company's most recent NAV per share for each share class, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on the Company's website at https://www.hinessecurities.com/current-offerings/hgit/ and is also available on the Company's toll-free information line at (888) 220-6121. Please see the Company's valuation policy, incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, for a more detailed description of the Company’s valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding interim real property valuations provided by Hines Global REIT II Advisors LP, the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") and reviewed by Altus Group U.S., Inc., or Altus, the independent valuation firm the Company has engaged to prepare appraisal reviews and carry out a review of the calculation of the NAV for the Company. All parties engaged by the Company in the calculation of its NAV, including its Advisor, are subject to the oversight of the Company's valuation committee. Generally, all of the Company's real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third party appraisal firms in accordance with the Company's valuation guidelines and such appraisals are reviewed by Altus. Altus reviewed the calculation of the new NAV per share of the Company's common stock as of April 30, 2021, as set forth below, and concurred with the calculation of the new NAV per share.












The table below sets forth the calculation of the Company's NAV per share of each class of shares of its common stock as of April 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 (the NAV per share is the same for each class of shares of the Company's common stock):

As previously disclosed, the Coronavirus pandemic continues to adversely impact global commercial activity. Although the outlook is improving in certain areas of the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, considerable uncertainty still surrounds the long term impact the pandemic will have on commercial real estate markets and the future performance and value of the Company's investments. Investments in real properties and real estate-related securities have been impacted by the pandemic and in some cases significantly. For example, the Company's portfolio has two retail properties that represent approximately 17% of its portfolio, based on the estimated value of its real estate investments as of March 31, 2021. The Company agreed to grant $3.8 million of rent relief to its retail tenants during the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of their lost revenues resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic at these properties. Such rent relief consisted of rental payments that were forgiven or reduced due to the conversion of fixed rental payments to rental payments based on a percentage of the tenant's revenues as well as rent payments that were deferred to future periods. While rent collections were adversely affected in the early months of the pandemic, consumer traffic at these properties has recovered to near pre-pandemic levels in recent months. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, rent collections had recovered to 95% of billed rent, which includes the collection of certain 2020 rent payments that were deferred to 2021.

Additionally, the Company refunded $2.2 million in rent to students across its international student housing portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2020 following the closing of nearby universities for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year. These universities later announced a mixture of in-campus and on-line learning for the 2020/2021 school year with a delayed start. Subsequent to this announcement, local governments closed in-campus learning in early 2021, which has resulted in $0.7 million in refunded rent to students from January through May 2021.

Values of the Company's retail and student housing properties have also been adversely impacted by the pandemic. While it is difficult to predict the potential long-term impacts the pandemic may have on its business, the Company has invested in well leased, high-quality assets using modest leverage in markets positioned for value retention and resiliency and believes its globally diversified fund is well-situated to weather this challenge.

Hines Global’s consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2021 includes a liability of $27.5 million related to distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to Hines Securities, Inc. (the "Dealer Manager") in future periods with respect to shares of its common stock. The NAV per share as of April 30, 2021 does not include any liability for distribution and stockholder servicing fees that may become payable after April 30, 2021, since these fees may not ultimately be paid in certain circumstances, including if Hines Global was liquidated or if there was a listing of its common stock.

The valuations of the Company's real properties as of April 30, 2021 were reviewed by Altus in accordance with the Company's valuation procedures. Certain key assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow analysis, which were determined by the Advisor, and reviewed by Altus, are set forth in the following table based on weighted-averages by property type. However, the table below excludes assumptions related to properties acquired in the past 12 months since the acquisition cost of these properties will serve as their value for a period of up to one year following their acquisition, in accordance with our valuation policy.

May 2021 Distributions

The Company's board of directors has authorized the Company to declare distributions for the month of May 2021. Distributions for each class of the Company’s common stock will be as follows (as rounded to the nearest three decimal places):
May 2021

Class T Shares$0.052 $0.008 $0.044 
Class S Shares$0.052 $0.008 $0.044

Class TX Shares$0.052 $0.008 $0.044 
Class IX Shares$0.052 $0.002 $0.050 

The net distributions for each class of shares of the Company’s common stock (which represents the gross distributions less the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for each applicable class of shares of common stock) will be payable to stockholders of record as of the last business day of May 2021, and will be paid on the first business day of June 2021. These distributions will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock for stockholders participating in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Distributions reinvested pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will be reinvested in shares of the same class of shares as the shares on which the distributions are being made.  Some or all of the cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operations.
