The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 17950 Preston Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75252.

This Amendment No. 14 to the Schedule 13D Filing (this “Amendment No. 14”) is being filed in connection with the announcement by the Company of the results of its rights offering, which expired on June 23, 2021 (the “Rights Offering”), and the closing of the Rights Offering.

Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Schedule 13D Filing remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 14 shall have the respective meanings set forth with respect thereto in the Schedule 13D Filing.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby amended by adding the following immediately after the second paragraph thereof:

Each of CIM Manager, CIM Urban Sponsor, LLC and CIM Capital, LLC acquired Common Shares in the Rights Offering using the liquidity of their shared parent entity. CIM Manager acquired 5,219,750 Common Shares for $48,282,687.50, CIM Urban Sponsor, LLC acquired 316,305 Common Shares for $2,925,821.25 and CIM Capital, LLC acquired 410,394 Common Shares for $3,796,144.5.

A wholly owned subsidiary of a trust formed by Mr. Ressler for the benefit of his family members for which he serves as trustee acquired 112,409 Common Shares for $1,039,783.25 using cash on hand of such trust.

The Shemesh Family Trust, of which Mr. Shemesh is the indirect beneficial owner, acquired in the Rights Offering 40,216 Common Shares for $371,998.00 using cash on hand of such trust.

The Kuba Family Trust, of which Mr. Kuba is the indirect beneficial owner, acquired in the Rights Offering 40,216 Common Shares for $371,998.00 using cash on hand of such trust.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D Filing is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Each of the Reporting Persons exercised in full their subscription rights to acquire one Common Share for each Common Share owned by such Reporting Person as of the record date of the Rights Offering, and also exercised to varying degrees their rights to oversubscribe for the unsubscribed Common Shares in the Rights Offering. The Company by press release on June 25, 2021 announced that the Rights Offering had expired and that it expected to issue Common Shares in respect of all subscriptions received in the Rights Offering. As a result of the closing of the Rights Offering on June 28, 2021, each of the Reporting Persons received all Common Shares subscribed for by such Reporting Person in the Rights Offering. The Reporting Persons believe that the Common Shares are undervalued and acquired Common Shares in the Rights Offering for investment purposes and to provide the Issuer with capital to execute on its strategic plans.

As reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2021, it is likely that the Issuer will seek to pay some or part of the asset management fees payable to

CIM Capital, LLC for part of 2021 in shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer in lieu of cash payment.

As permitted by law, the Reporting Persons may purchase additional Common Shares or related securities or may dispose of all or a portion of the Common Shares or related securities that they now beneficially own or may hereafter acquire in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including to and/or from CIM Group and its affiliates.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. However, Messrs. Ressler, Shemesh and Kuba are members of the board of directors of the Issuer and, as such, may, from time to time, be involved in discussions which relate to one or more of such matters. Each of Messrs. Ressler, Shemesh and Kuba disclaims any obligation to report on any plan or proposal with respect to any of such matters that develops or occurs as a result of his role as a director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer’s actions.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported Common Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of such shares in this Amendment No. 14 shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for any purpose.

The information set forth in this Amendment No. 14 sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons as of June 28, 2021 and assumes there are 23,369,331 Common Shares outstanding as of such date, based on the number of Common Shares outstanding as reported by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2021.
