SECTION 8: OTHER EVENTS
Item 8.01
On July 5, 2013, Power REIT ("Trust")'s wholly-owned subsidiary,
PW Salisbury Solar, LLC ("PWSS") refinanced an $800,000
bridge loan made by Hudson Bay Partners, LP ("HBP"),
an affiliate of our Chairman and CEO. Proceeds from the bridge
loan were used to acquire approximately 55 acres of
land that is leased on a long-term basis to a solar farm in
Salisbury, Massachusetts. HBP waived the step-up in interest
rate that was due to occur on July 1, 2013, resulting in a 5.0%
interest rate during the entire term of the bridge
loan. There were no origination, prepayment or exit fees paid
to HBP in connection with the bridge loan.
The new term loan was made by a Northeastern regional bank
with a loan amount of $750,000. The 10-year term loan carries
a 5.0% interest rate and amortizes based on a twenty year
amortization schedule. Power REIT provided a parent guarantee
to secure the term loan. The balance of the HBP bridge loan
was refinanced with available cash.
A copy of a press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
