KBS REIT III reduces distribution to $0.03833/sh and suspends ordinary share redemptions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Board authorized January and February 2023 distributions of $0.03833333 per share, reduced from prior periods due to economic slowdown.
- Ordinary share redemptions suspended indefinitely; all pending requests canceled and no new requests accepted.
- Suspension driven by rising interest rates, inflation, tenant lease expirations, and weakness in commercial office, especially San Francisco Bay Area.
- Company cites need to preserve capital to manage portfolio; special redemptions (death, disability) will still be processed.
