Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On May 4, 2012, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) closed the acquisition of the fee simple interest in three parcels of real estate located at 1100 Kings Highway in Brooklyn, New York. The Company acquired the property though an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of its operating partnership. The sellers of the property were 1100-1114 Kings Highway LLC, 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue LLC and 2067-2073 Coney Island Avenue LLC. The sellers do not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction.  

 

The contract purchase price of the property was approximately $36.7 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded the purchase price with (i) proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering in the amount of $8.2 million and (ii) a drawdown of $28.5 million on its senior unsecured revolving $40 million credit facility with Capital One, National Association. The Company may seek to obtain financing on the property post-closing. However, there is no guarantee that it will be able to obtain financing on terms it believes are favorable, if at all.

 

The property contains 61,318 rentable square feet, including four retail spaces and one office space. The property is 100% leased to five tenants– The Dress Barn Inc. (a brand of Ascena Retail Group, Inc.) (NASDAQ: ASNA); which carries an investment grade rating as determined by major credit rating agencies; JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA., a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), which carries an investment grade rating as determined by major credit rating agencies; Annie Sez (a brand of Big M, Inc.); DEJ Associates, Inc. (known as Special Touch Home Care Services, Inc.); and Home Décor on Coney Island Avenue, Ltd.

 

The following table provides, for each of the leases with the five major tenants, information relating to lease commencement and termination dates, rentable square footage and annualized rental income.
