IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SPECIAL DIVIDEND EXPECTED TO BE PAID IN DECEMBER 2018 The enclosed Election Form should be completed only by holders of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the "Company") common stock as of November 12, 2018.

The election period expires midnight, Central Time, on December 7, 2018 (the "Election Deadline"). The Election Deadline is more fully explained in the "Questions and Answers" included with the Election Form. THE ELECTION IS EXPRESSLY SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, THE LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

ALL COMPANY COMMON STOCK ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPECIAL DIVIDEND WILL BE ISSUED WITHOUT CERTIFICATES.

IF YOU DO NOT TIMELY RETURN A PROPERLY COMPLETED ELECTION FORM OR TIMELY MAKE AN ELECTION BY TELEPHONE, YOUR SPECIAL DIVIDEND ELECTION WILL BE SET TO THE DEFAULT ELECTION OF ALL CASH AS SET BY THE COMPANY, SUBJECT TO THE MAXIMUM CASH DISTRIBUTION NOT HAVING BEEN EXCEEDED. BECAUSE THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF CASH TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY THE COMPANY IS 20% OF THE TOTAL SPECIAL DIVIDEND, THE LIKELY RESULT OF A CASH ELECTION OR DEFAULT ELECTION IS THE RECEIPT OF 20% CASH AND 80% SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, UNLESS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS ELECT TO RECEIVE THE SPECIAL DIVIDEND AS 100% STOCK.

ELECTION FORM Please review the attached instructions for completing this form and then complete this form and sign below:

IMPORTANT: If you (1) do not elect one of these options or (2) select more than one option, then your special dividend election will be set to the DEFAULT ELECTION of all cash. ELECTION OPTIONS (check only ONE of the boxes below)

ALL STOCK ELECTION: I elect to receive ONLY shares of common stock of KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.

ALL CASH ELECTION: I elect to receive ONLY cash (subject to the Maximum Cash Distribution having not being exceeded).

The aggregate amount of cash paid by the Company pursuant to the special dividend and the actual number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the special dividend will depend upon the number of stockholders electing cash or stock and whether the Maximum Cash Distribution is met. The number of shares issued will be calculated based upon the estimated value per share of the Company's common stock determined within two weeks of payment (which the Company expects will be unchanged from that determined by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2018).

If any cash is due to you, you will receive cash in accordance with your cash distribution payment instructions on file with the Company's transfer agent (which will be your address of record if you are a participant in the dividend reinvestment plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for custodial held accounts, cash distributions will be paid directly to the custodian.

If the Election Form is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorneyin-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing and must give his or her full title in such capacity. Special dividend elections by custodial held accounts require the custodian's approval and signature below.
