Paramount Advantages
Extensive Acquisition Network. Paramount’s industry relationships afford proprietary
   access to attractive, off-market investment opportunities. Of the prior Paramount Funds’
   investments, 72% of transaction value has been deployed outside of the auction format.

Property Management Expertise. Paramount has a longstanding commitment to
   managing and leasing its properties. This devotion has resulted in a proven ability to
   grow property cash flow and add long-term value. In addition, our Property Management
   team is invaluable for the real-time market information it is able to provide to our
   Acquisitions team; our fully integrated real estate platform gives us a unique
   competitive advantage over the competition.

Sophisticated Underwriting Practice. Having invested through several real estate
   market cycles, the key professionals within Paramount’s Investment Committee have
   approximately 260 years of dedicated real estate underwriting experience. In addition,
   Paramount’s property management and leasing expertise significantly aids in
   projecting future property cash flows.

Comprehensive Due Diligence Methodology. Paramount’s presence in its target
   markets provides in-depth local market knowledge that can facilitate quick, thorough
   due diligence. In addition, Paramount has the ability to perform the vast majority of
   necessary due diligence functions in-house. This is especially important when
   underwriting off-market transactions in a compressed time frame.

Longstanding Lender Relationships. Paramount’s longstanding relationships with
   global real estate lenders allow its investments to be financed on particularly favorable
   terms. In times when debt financing is scarce, Paramount has nevertheless been able
   to attractively finance its acquisitions.

Creative Structuring Ability. Paramount professionals have expertise in fields such as
   capital markets, law, tax structuring, and accounting. This knowledge base provides a
   competitive advantage in complex situations that require creative solutions.
