in each case, plus such indeterminate number of Shares as may have been issuable to prevent dilution resulting from one or more stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions in accordance with Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the terms of the Plan.
On January 27, 2026, pursuant to its previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 24, 2025, by and among the Registrant, Plymouth Industrial OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), PIR Ventures LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Parent"), PIR Industrial REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("REIT Merger Sub"), and PIR Industrial OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned by REIT Merger Sub ("OP Merger Sub"), (i) the Operating Partnership merged with and into OP Merger Sub, with OP Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of REIT Merger Sub and (ii) the Registrant merged with and into REIT Merger Sub, with REIT Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the "Mergers").
As a result of the Mergers, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its Shares pursuant to the Registration Statements. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of each Registration Statement and, in accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all Shares that were registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof.
