Exhibit 99.4

April 11, 2019

Dear Valued Stockholder,

We are writing to inform you of an exciting development related to your investment in Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. (“CVMC REIT II”). On April 11, 2019, after a thorough due diligence and negotiation process conducted by the special committee of CVMC REIT II’s board of directors (the “Board”), made up entirely of independent members of CV REIT II’s Board, and upon approval by CV REIT II’s Board, CVMC REIT II entered into a definitive agreement (“Merger Agreement”) to merge with Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (“CVMC REIT I”) in a stock and cash transaction, creating a combined company (“Combined Company”) with an enterprise value of approximately $3.2 billion (the “Merger”).

Terms of the Merger

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger is consummated, CVMC REIT II will pay $1.00 per share in cash and issue 0.4681 shares of CVMC REIT II Class A common stock (“Class A Shares”) in exchange for each share of CVMC REIT I common stock that is issued and outstanding. It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Merger, CVMC REIT II stockholders will own approximately 61 percent of the Combined Company. CVMC REIT I has a period of 45 days from April 11, 2019, the execution date of the Merger Agreement, to solicit superior proposals. If CVMC REIT I terminates the transaction in order to enter into a superior proposal during the 45-day period, it must pay a $14.4 million termination fee to CVMC REIT II. Generally, if CVMC REIT I terminates the transaction in order to enter into a superior proposal after the 45-day period, it must pay a $28.8 million termination fee to CVMC REIT II. We expect the Merger to close in the second half of 2019, subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the CVMC REIT I stockholders.

Liquidity and Anticipated Transaction Benefits

The Merger is expected to generate significant benefits for stockholders, including cost savings, increased operating efficiencies, increased diversification of tenancy and geography and increased future potential liquidity alternatives. The increased size and scale is expected to further enhance access to the capital markets and reduce the overall cost of debt capital.

Share Repurchase Program

In conjunction with entering into the Merger Agreement, CVMC REIT II’s Board adopted the Sixth Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “Sixth A&R SRP”), which will be effective May 11, 2019, and will apply beginning with repurchases made on the 2019 third quarter Repurchase Date. The purpose of the Sixth A&R SRP is to limit share repurchases to repurchase requests made in connection with the death, qualifying disability, or involuntary exigent circumstance (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) of a stockholder, subject to certain terms and conditions specified in the Sixth A&R SRP.

Upon consummation of the Merger, we will communicate the terms of the Combined Company’s Share Repurchase Program, which will be determined by the Board at a future time.
