Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

 

On January 10, 2013, American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through its sponsor, American Realty Capital III, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the fee simple interest in an institutional-quality office building located at 218 West 18th Street in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The seller of the property is GreenOak Real Estate Advisors. The seller does not have a material relationship with the Company and the acquisition is not an affiliated transaction.  

 

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company’s obligation to close upon the acquisition is subject to certain conditions customary to closing. Although the Company believes that the acquisition of the property is probable, there can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated. The purchase and sale agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the seller.

 

The contract purchase price of the property is $112.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. In connection with entering into the purchase and sale agreement, the Company was required to make a $7.6 million nonrefundable deposit within one business day of entering into the purchase and sale agreement. The Company intends to fund the purchase price with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering. The Company may seek financing on the property at or post-closing from a lender yet to be identified. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing on terms that it deems favorable or at all.

 

The property contains approximately 166,000 rentable square feet and is 84% leased to five tenants: Red Bull North America, Inc.; SAE Institute of Technology Corp.; Company 3, LLC; SYPartners; and Yammer, Inc.

 

The following table provides information relating to lease commencement and termination dates, rentable square feet, rental escalations, renewal options and cash rental income for the five tenants:
