C O M The information contained herein should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the information in KBS Growth & Income Real Estate Investment Trust’s (the “Company or KBS Growth & Income REIT or KBS G&I REIT”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), including the “Risk Factors” contained therein. For a full description of the limitations, methodologies and assumptions used to value KBS G&I REIT’s assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of KBS G&I REIT’s estimated value per share, see KBS G&I REIT’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2020 (the “Valuation 8-K”). Important Disclosures 2 Certain statements contained herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The Company makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a number of assumptions involving the judgment of management. Forward-Looking Statements
W W W . K B S . C O M Important Disclosures The COVID-19 pandemic, together with the resulting measures imposed to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions on businesses and school closures, has had a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally. The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry, including the U.S. office real estate industry and the industries of the Company’s tenants, directly or indirectly. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s operations and those of its tenants, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. If tenants default on their rent and vacate, the ability to re-lease this space is likely to be more difficult if the economic slowdown continues and any long-term impact of this situation, even after an economic rebound, remains unclear. Further, reductions in property values related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the Company’s ability to draw on the revolving commitment under its term loan due to covenants described in the loan agreement. The Company may fund distributions from any source including, without limitation, from offering proceeds or borrowings. Distributions paid through December 31, 2020 have been funded in part with cash flow from operating activities, from the proceeds from the sale of real estate and in part with debt financing, including advances from the Company’s advisor. In addition, distributions have been funded with cash resulting from the advisor’s waiver and deferral of its asset management fee. There are no guarantees that the Company will continue to pay distributions or that distributions at the current rate are sustainable. Actual events may cause the value and returns on the Company’s investments to be less than that used for purposes of the Company’s estimated NAV per share. With respect to the NAV per share, the appraisal methodology used for the appraised properties assumes the properties realize the projected net operating income and expected exit cap rates and that investors would be willing to invest in such properties at yields equal to the expected discount rates. Though the appraisals of the appraised properties, with respect to Duff & Phelps, and the valuation estimates used in calculating the estimated value per share, with respect to Duff & Phelps, the Company’s advisor and the Company, are the respective party’s best estimates as of September 30, 2020, the Company can give no assurance in this regard. Even small changes to these assumptions could result in significant differences in the appraised values of the appraised properties and the estimated value per share. These statements herein also depend on factors such as: future economic, competitive and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain occupancy levels and rental rates at its real estate properties; the Company’s ability to sell its real estate properties at the times and at the prices it expects; and other risks identified in Part I, Item IA of the Company’s Annual Report.

W W W . K B S . C O M Depending upon the duration of the pandemic, the various measures imposed to help control the spread of the virus and the corresponding economic slowdown, some of Company’s tenants have or will seek rent deferrals or abatements in future periods or become unable to pay their rent. Through March 17, 2021, rent collections is as follows: Over the course of the COVID-19 crisis, the Company has received short-term rent relief requests from tenants who have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through December 2020, the Company had granted a total of $0.3 million in rent relief to eight tenants. The majority of the rent relief arrangements have been structured as temporary deferrals of base rent that will be paid back over a range of 12 to 24 months. In most cases, it is in the Company’s best interest to help its tenants remain in business and reopen when mandated closures or other restrictions are lifted. Rent relief requests to date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period. 8 Period of Rent Collected % of Rent Collected Q2 2020 95% Q3 2020 90% Q4 2020 93% January 2021 94% February 2021 93% COVID-19: Rent Collections
W W W . K B S . C O M 9 Distributions The Advisor continues to defer the collection of asset management fees, which results in more cash available to pay distributions. From January through June 2020, the Company's Board of Directors declared a monthly distribution equal to a 3% annualized rate based on the December 2019 net asset value per share. However, the Board has determined to adjust the distribution policy in response to the uncertainty caused by the ongoing public health crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations and those of its tenants. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s Board authorized a quarterly distribution equal to a 2% annualized rate based on the December 2019 net asset value per share, which was paid in November 2020.

W W W . K B S . C O M Due to the minimal amount of capital raise in the REIT, which had been substantially impacted early on by regulatory changes, and the inability to significantly improve its size and scale in order to help offset the sizeable G&A costs of operating a non-traded REIT, the Board formed a special committee to evaluate strategic alternatives for the REIT. Based upon the special committee’s assessment and recommendation, in August of 2020, the special committee directed the Company’s advisor, with the assistance of the independent financial advisor of the special committee, to develop a plan of liquidation for approval by the board and submission to our stockholders. The Company initially expected to present a plan of liquidation for a vote of the stockholders of the Company within six months from its determination to pursue a liquidation strategy. However, as a result of the adverse market conditions caused by the civil unrest and disruption in Portland and Chicago, where several of the Company’s properties are located, and the ongoing uncertainty and business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the board believes it is in the best interest of the stockholders to delay any proposal to liquidate the Company. The Company remains committed to pursuing a liquidation strategy when market conditions improve. 16 Update on Strategic Alternatives
