Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 8, 2013, the board of directors of Plymouth Opportunity REIT, Inc. declared a stock distribution of 1.5% of each outstanding share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, to the stockholders of record at the close of business on June 28, 2013. Such stock distributions are to be paid on July 15, 2013.

We believe that the stock distribution should be a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 305(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the adjusted tax basis of each share of “old” and “new” Common Stock should be computed by dividing the adjusted tax basis of the old Common Stock by the total number of shares, old and new. The holding period of the Common Stock received in such a non-taxable distribution is expected to begin on the date the taxpayer acquired the Common Stock which is the date that the distribution was made. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of this stock distribution.
