March 31, 2021 NAV Per Share

We calculate NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our board of directors. Our NAV per share, which is updated as of the last calendar day of each month, is posted on our website at www.nuveenglobalreit.com. Please refer to “Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Guidelines” in the Prospectus for information on how our NAV is determined. The Advisor is ultimately responsible for determining our NAV. As of March 31, 2021, our properties have been appraised in accordance with our valuation guidelines and such appraisals were reviewed by our independent valuation advisor.

Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class T, Class S and Class D shares. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis as such fee is paid. Under GAAP, we accrue the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time we sell Class T, Class S and Class D shares. As of March 31, 2021, we have accrued under GAAP approximately $6.4 million of stockholder servicing fees payable to the Dealer Manager related to the Class T, Class S and Class D shares sold.
