Offering Related

On October 4, 2016, our Advisor, as defined below, acquired 111.11 shares of our common stock for $1,000 and became our initial stockholder. On January 27, 2017, pursuant to a confidential private placement memorandum (the “Private Placement Memorandum”), we commenced a private offering of up to $100,000,000 in shares of our common stock (the “Primary Private Offering”) and 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (collectively, the “Private Offering” and together with the Public Offering described below, the “Offerings”). Our Private Offering terminated on March 15, 2018. We raised offering proceeds of approximately $91.5 million from the issuance of approximately 10.7 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the Private Offering.

On May 1, 2018, our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-220646) (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Registration Statement registered up to $1.0 billion in shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Primary Offering”) consisting of three classes of shares — Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class W shares — and up to $95,000,000 in shares of common stock for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (together with the Primary Offering, the “Public Offering”). On June 21, 2019, we suspended the sale of Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class W shares in the Primary Offering and registered two new classes of common stock (Class Y shares and Class Z shares) with the SEC, and effective as of July 10, 2019, we began offering Class Y shares (up to $700 million in shares) and Class Z shares (up to $300 million in shares) in our Primary Offering.

On March 30, 2020, our board of directors approved the suspension of the Primary Offering based upon various factors, including the uncertainty relating to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its potential impact on us and our overall financial results. Our board of directors also approved the suspension of our share redemption program (see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail) and the suspension of distributions to our stockholders, which suspension included the distribution reinvestment plan, both of which remain suspended as of June 30, 2025. The termination of our Primary Offering occurred on May 1, 2021. Through our Primary Offering, we raised offering proceeds of approximately $17.1 million from the issuance of approximately 362,000 Class A shares, approximately 70,000 Class T shares, approximately 83,000 Class W shares, approximately 1.1 million Class Y shares, and approximately 165,000 Class Z shares. Through our distribution reinvestment plan, we issued approximately 610,000 Class A shares, approximately 8,000 Class T shares, approximately 3,000 Class W shares, approximately 10,000 Class Y shares, and approximately 1,000 Class Z shares for gross proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. Primarily as a result of the termination of our Primary Offering, we currently do not have the equity capital needed to acquire additional properties at this time and we are focusing our efforts on managing our existing properties. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, no sales were made pursuant to the Primary Offering.

On January 10, 2025, our board of directors, upon recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee, approved an estimated value per share of $6.35 for our Class A shares, Class T shares, Class W shares, Class Y shares, and Class Z shares based on the estimated value of our assets less the estimated value of our liabilities, or net asset value, divided by the number of shares outstanding on an adjusted fully diluted basis, calculated as of September 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, we owned four senior housing properties. On July 31, 2024, we sold our sole remaining student housing property located in Fayetteville, Arkansas (the “Fayetteville Property”) for $72.25 million. In conjunction with the sale, we repaid the $34.5 million Fayetteville Mortgage Loan and repaid the $25.4 million KeyBank Bridge Loan.

Our operating partnership, SSSHT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”), was formed on October 5, 2016. On October 5, 2016, our Advisor acquired a limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership for $1,000 (111.11 partnership units) and we contributed the initial $1,000 capital contribution to our Operating Partnership in exchange for the general partner interest. In addition, on September 28, 2017, our Advisor acquired additional limited partnership interests (25,447.57 partnership units) in our Operating Partnership for $199,000, resulting in total capital contributions of $200,000 by our Advisor in our Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership owns, directly or indirectly through one or more special purpose entities, all of our student housing and senior housing properties. As of

June 30, 2025, we owned approximately 99.8% of the common units of limited partnership interest of our Operating Partnership. The remaining approximately 0.2% of the common units are owned by our Advisor. We will conduct certain activities directly or indirectly through our taxable REIT subsidiary, SSSHT TRS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “TRS”) which was formed on October 6, 2016, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of our Operating Partnership. See Note 7 – Preferred Equity in our Operating Partnership.

Other Corporate History

Strategic Asset Management I, LLC (f/k/a SmartStop Asset Management, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company organized in 2013 (our “Sponsor”), was the sponsor of our Offerings. Our Sponsor provides real estate advisory, asset management, and property management services. In June 2019, our Sponsor entered into a series of transactions with SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (f/k/a Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc.) (“SmartStop”) in which SmartStop acquired the self storage advisory, asset management, property management, investment management, and certain joint venture interests of our Sponsor. As a result of the transactions, our Sponsor and its subsidiaries own limited partnership units in the operating partnership of SmartStop, and our Sponsor is now focused primarily on student and senior housing. Our Sponsor owns approximately 97.5% of the economic interests (and 100% of the voting membership interests) of our Advisor and owns 100% of our Property Manager, each as defined below.

We have no employees. Our advisor is SSSHT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Advisor”), which was formed on October 3, 2016. The majority of the officers of our Advisor are also officers of us and our Sponsor. Our Advisor is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, as defined elsewhere herein. Please see Note 9 – Related Party Transactions for additional detail.

SSSHT Property Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Property Manager”), was formed on October 3, 2016. Our Property Manager derives substantially all of its income from the property management oversight services it performs for us. We have entered into property management agreements directly with third party property managers and our Property Manager provides oversight services with respect to such third party property managers. Please see Note 9 – Related Party Transactions for additional detail.

Our student housing property was managed by a third-party student housing property manager. Our senior housing properties are managed by a third-party senior housing operator. Please see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional detail.

Our dealer manager was Select Capital Corporation, a California corporation (our “Former Dealer Manager”). We terminated the Dealer Management Agreement on June 16, 2020 in accordance with its provisions. Our Former Dealer Manager was responsible for marketing our shares offered pursuant to our offerings. Our Sponsor previously owned, through a wholly-owned limited liability company, a 15% non-voting equity interest in our Former Dealer Manager. Affiliates of our Former Dealer Manager own a 2.5% non-voting membership interest in our Advisor, which they acquired on January 1, 2018. Please see Note 9 – Related Party Transactions for additional detail.

Our Sponsor owns 100% of the membership interests of Strategic Transfer Agent Services, LLC, our former transfer agent (our “Former Transfer Agent”). Our Former Transfer Agent provided transfer agent and registrar services to us that are substantially similar to what a third party transfer agent would provide in the ordinary course of performing its functions as a transfer agent. Please see Note 9 – Related Party Transactions for additional detail. Prior to May 1, 2018, our Advisor provided services on our behalf similar to those provided by our Former Transfer Agent. On January 27, 2025, we terminated the agreement with our Former Transfer Agent and transitioned the transfer agent function to a third party. In lieu of a termination fee and in recognition of the additional cost and expenses incurred by our former transfer agent in connection with the transition, we paid our former transfer agent a transition fee of $50,000.

As we accepted subscriptions for shares of our common stock, we transferred all of the net offering proceeds to our Operating Partnership as capital contributions in exchange for additional limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership. However, we were deemed to have made capital contributions in the amount of gross proceeds received from investors, and our Operating Partnership was deemed to have simultaneously paid the sales commissions and other costs associated with the Offering. In addition, our Operating Partnership is structured to make distributions with respect to limited partnership units that are equivalent to the distributions we make to stockholders. Finally, a limited partner in our Operating Partnership may later exchange his or her limited partnership units in our Operating Partnership for shares of our common stock at any time after one year following the date of issuance of their limited partnership units, subject to certain restrictions

outlined in the limited partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”). Our Advisor is prohibited from exchanging or otherwise transferring its limited partnership units so long as it is acting as our Advisor pursuant to our Advisory Agreement.
