Item 1.01                                         Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 16, 2012, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, M2 Marketplace, Inc (the “Buyer”), entered into an agreement with Sarcom Properties, Inc. (the “Seller”), an unaffiliated third party, to buy certain real property from the Seller for a total cash sales price of $5,925,000.  The real property is located in Lewis Center, Ohio and includes approximately 12.4 acres of land together with a building of approximately 144,000 square feet.  One of our other subsidiaries is currently the tenant of the building.

 

Until June 14, 2012 (the “Due Diligence Period”), the Buyer is entitled to terminate the agreement for any reason while it conducts due diligence related to the property.  In addition, the Buyer may extend the Due Diligence Period for further environmental due diligence until July 20, 2012 if it determines in its sole discretion that further environmental due diligence is required.  The agreement also contains other customary closing conditions to the purchase and sale of the real property.

 

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Buyer shall make a $175,000 deposit into escrow.  The deposit is refundable to the Buyer until the earlier of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or the approval or waiver of all of the conditions precedent and the Buyer’s contingencies under the agreement.  Once the Due Diligence Period has expired, the obligation to purchase and sell the property on the terms and conditions provided in the agreement will become final and binding upon our subsidiary and the Seller with an anticipated closing date for the transaction after July 20, 2012.

 

Each party has the right under the agreement to structure the transaction as part of a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  We expect this transaction to be a part of such an exchange in connection with the sale of certain real property of the Buyer located in Santa Monica, California.  We will evaluate potential exchanges and purchases, but would expect that any exchanges/purchases we make would benefit us through direct ownership of facilities that are strategic to our operations, reductions in our lease obligations, and other ancillary benefits.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, upon the closing of the transaction the Buyer may elect to receive an assignment of the lease between the Seller and our affiliated subsidiary or to terminate that lease.
