Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 13, 2012, CapLease, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the extension of the mortgage debt on the three warehouse properties leased to Nestlé USA, Inc. (leases guaranteed by Nestlé Holdings, Inc.). A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Company obtained an up to five year extension of the $106 million non-recourse mortgage debt inclusive of one 18-month extension option and two one year extension options. The face amount of the note and the note coupon of 6.32% were not modified by the extension. The Company contributed $3 million into a reserve with the lender for future re-tenanting costs at the Fort Wayne, Indiana property. Any amount remaining in the reserve after the property is re-leased and re-tenanting costs paid will be used to reduce the principal balance of the note. Pursuant to the extension option provisions of the note, the Company may not extend the loan maturity date beyond August 2015 unless it has fully leased the Fort Wayne, Indiana property. The extension option rights if exercised also require the Company to make the following principal payments on the note:
|
|
·
|
$7.5 million during the first extension option term;
|
|
|
·
|
$7.5 million during the second extension option term; and
|
|
|
·
|
$5 million during the third extension option term.
|
Pursuant to the loan modification, the Company agreed with the lender that any cash flow shortfalls from the properties after debt service during the loan term will be funded through an approximately $5 million reserve previously deposited with the lender. The Company also agreed to pay substantially all excess cash flows from the properties to reduce the principal amount of the debt. The Company may prepay the loan at any time without payment of a penalty or premium to the lender.
