Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I Announces Net Asset Value

COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The board of trust managers of Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I (the "Company"), a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on investing in single-tenant revenue-producing real estate properties, today announced a $10.57 per share estimated net asset value ("NAV") of its common stock as of December 31, 2018.

"While the Company's real estate portfolio value remained comparable to the prior year, a decrease in our cash balances resulted in a $(0.09), or approximately 1% decrease in the NAV," said Aaron Halfacre, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The cash decrease was primarily due to funding our share repurchase program and other cash needs. We will continue our efforts to deliver dividends and also to maximize the value of the portfolio through active management."

Estimated NAV
The Company engaged Cushman & Wakefield Western, Inc. ("Cushman & Wakefield"), Valuation and Advisory Group, to assist the board of trust managers with determining a fair value range of the Company's real estate portfolio and a resultant estimated per share NAV. The estimated per share NAV disclosed above has been approved by the Company's board of trust managers, including all of the independent trust managers.

The valuation was based upon the estimated market value of the Company's assets, less the estimated market value of the Company's liabilities, divided by the total shares outstanding at December 31, 2018 and was performed consistent with the Company's previously-disclosed Net Asset Calculation and Valuation Procedures. The estimated NAV does not reflect any "portfolio premium," nor does it reflect an enterprise value for the Company. The board of trust managers intends to determine an estimated per share NAV on at least an annual basis going forward.
