Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 13, 2014, Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc. (the “Company”) has an investment in a limited liability company, 720 University, LLC (“720 University”), which owns a commercial retail property located in Greeley, Colorado (the “720 University Property”) The Company receives 65% of the profits and losses in 720 University after priority return on partner contributions is allocated at the rate of 10% per annum. The Company has a note payable in the principal amount of approximately $9,757,000 as of November 12, 2014 with a bank through its investment in 720 University (the “University Note”), which is secured by the 720 University Property.
On November 10, 2014, 720 University entered into a Real Estate Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Alberta Development Partners, LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which 720 University has agreed to sell the 720 University Property for $21.0 million.
Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the 720 University Property is subject to a number of conditions including their satisfactory completion of due diligence during a 30 day period (the “Due Diligence Period”) commencing on the date of the Purchase Agreement. Purchaser has paid an initial deposit into escrow of $500,000. This initial deposit is refundable at the election of the Purchaser prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. If the Purchaser elects to continue with the transaction after the Due Diligence Period an additional deposit of $500,000 will be made and such deposits are thereafter non-refundable unless the Refinancing Loan described below does not occur.
Within 30 days after completion of due diligence, an initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) will be held for the purpose of refinancing the University Note. At the Initial Closing, Purchaser or its affiliate will extend a new loan (the “Refinancing Loan”) to [720 University] in an amount sufficient to refinance the [University Note], and the University Note will be paid off. The closing of the Refinancing Loan is subject to certain conditions and will be made pursuant to customary loan documents to be negotiated and prepared by the parties prior to the Initial Closing date. The principal amount of the Refinancing Loan will not exceed the lower of $9,771,213 and the principal balance of the University Note, and such principal amount shall accrue interest at 6% per annum. In the event that loan documents for the Refinancing Loan are not approved by Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period the Sale Agreement may be terminated and the deposit returned to Purchaser.
The principal and accrued interest on the Refinancing Loan will be repaid on the date of the Final Closing of the sale of the 720 University Property. The Company currently anticipates that the Final Closing will occur on or about May 28, 2015; however, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to consummate the Refinancing Loan or the sale of the 720 University Property. The parties have made customary representations and warranties to each other in the Sale Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of a press release announcing the entry into the Sale Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
