Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by National Storage Affiliates Trust (the “Company”) on April 7, 2016 (the “Original Form 8-K”), as set forth below. In addition, this Current Report includes previously filed and new financial statements prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as set forth below.
ITEM 2.01.     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 1, 2016, the Company, through its operating partnership, NSA OP, LP (the "Operating Partnership"), completed its acquisition of a portfolio of 14 self-storage properties (the "Hide-Away Portfolio") from parties related to Hide-Away Storage Services, Inc. (“Hide-Away”) for approximately $115 million. Hide-Away will continue to manage the Hide-Away Portfolio as one of the Company's participating regional operators ("PROs"). In connection with this transaction, the Operating Partnership (i) issued 1,891,790 Class A common units of limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP units") and 1,467,387 Class B common units of limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership ("subordinated performance units") to Hide-Away; (ii) assumed $42.0 million in principal amount of mortgage debt with an estimated fair value of approximately $49 million; (iii) assumed and subsequently repaid in cash approximately $6.3 million in indebtedness; (iv) assumed approximately $0.9 million of other liabilities and (v) paid approximately $2.2 million in cash. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company's credit facility.
In connection with the acquisition of the Hide-Away Portfolio, the Company filed the Original Form 8-K describing the acquisition. The Company is now filing this amendment to include the historical financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, to amend and supplement the disclosures in the Original Form 8-K. The historical financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the Hide-Away Portfolio described in Item 9.01 below should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 8-K and this amendment.

In addition to the historical financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the Hide-Away Portfolio, set forth in Item 9.01 are historical financial statements prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X relating to individually significant groups of related properties that were previously included in the Company's Form S-11/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2015 and historical financial statements and pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X relating to the acquisition of 15 other properties acquired by the Company between January 1, 2016 and April 15, 2016, which were not individually considered significant within the meaning of Rule 3-14, but, in the aggregate, are significant under Rule 3-14.
