Key Contract Terms

  • Due Diligence: 45-day period from the effective date.
  • Closing Date: Targeted for October 1, 2017, with a hard stop of November 1, 2017, subject to conditions.
  • Escrow: A portion of the purchase price will be held in escrow for 18 months post-closing to cover Seller Indemnifiable Damages.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

  • Outlook: Management anticipates closing in the fourth quarter of 2017 but explicitly states no assurance that the closing will occur within this timeframe or at all.
  • Risks: The transaction is subject to substantial conditions to closing, including the satisfaction of due diligence requirements and the removal of monetary liens by sellers.
  • Contingencies: Closing is contingent on the successful execution of the Purchase Agreements and the availability of financing from the IPO and debt markets.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the final closing date and whether the transaction closed by November 1, 2017.
  • Confirm the actual funding sources (IPO proceeds vs. debt) utilized for the $117.5 million purchase.
  • Review the final occupancy rates and rent rolls delivered at the end of the due diligence period to ensure they met the threshold requirements.
  • Check for any subsequent filings regarding the payment of the acquisition fee to the affiliated advisor.
  • Monitor for any escrow releases or claims regarding Seller Indemnifiable Damages during the 18-month post-closing period.
