Item 7.01        Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On September 14, 2010, the Board declared the third quarter 2010 distribution of $0.05 per share, payable on October 8, 2010, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2010.  This represents the fourth consecutive quarter-to-quarter increase in distribution rates and equates to a 2.0% annualized yield assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share or a 2.9% annualized yield based upon the December 31, 2009 ERISA value of $6.85 per share.  Each distribution is determined quarterly by our Board and the annualized yield is not necessarily indicative of future distributions.
