Explanatory Note.

On May 30, 2017, Whitestone REIT (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to report the completion of the acquisition of BLVD Place, a property that meets the Company's Community Centered Property™ strategy, on May 26, 2017. On August 1, 2017, the Company filed an amendment (the “Form 8-K/A”) to the Original Form 8-K for the sole purpose of filing financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016 and pro forma financial information as of March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, as required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed for the sole purpose of filing pro forma financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 8-K and the Form 8-K/A. After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any other material factors relating to BLVD Place that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results.
