Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by CTO Realty Growth, Inc. on June 23, 2021. The filing discloses two significant corporate transactions: the entry into a material definitive agreement to sell remaining undeveloped land assets and the completion of an acquisition of a mixed-use retail property.
Key Financial Metrics and Transactions
- Land Venture Sale: Entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell approximately 1,600 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida, for $67.0 million. Estimated net proceeds to CTO are approximately $25.6 million (after distributions to other members and before taxes).
- Property Acquisition: Completed the acquisition of "The Shops at Legacy," a mixed-use center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, for a purchase price of $72.5 million.
- Funding Sources: The acquisition was funded via available cash, 1031 like-kind exchange proceeds, a partial exercise of an accordion option on an existing term loan, and the revolving credit facility.
- Financial Statements: The filing includes historical audited financial statements for the acquired property and unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2021. Specific revenue, profit, or margin figures for the Company's ongoing operations are not provided in this text.
Material Changes and Unusual Items
The filing represents a material change in the Company's asset portfolio. The Company is divesting its remaining interest in the "Land Venture" (originally 5,300 acres, with 1,600 acres remaining) while simultaneously expanding its income-producing real estate portfolio with the Dallas-Fort Worth acquisition. The land sale is structured as a disposition of non-core assets, while the property purchase is structured as a reverse like-kind exchange.
