The seller, Holaw (472) Limited, had no material relationship with the Company and the acquisition was not an affiliated transaction. The Company purchased the fee simple interest in the Aviva Property using (i) available cash on hand from the Company’s ongoing initial public offering in the amount of $26.3 million, and (ii) a loan of $26.2 million from the Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited, as described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Aviva Property contains 131,614 rentable square feet and is 100% leased to Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited. Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited is a subsidiary of Aviva International Insurance Limited, a leading provider of life and general insurance in Europe that also guarantees the lease.

The original lease, as amended, has an approximately 36.5-year term which commenced in December 1992 and terminates in June 2029, with base rent increases every five years to the extent market rates are higher than the existing base rent. The lease is net whereby the tenant is required to pay substantially all operating expenses, including costs to maintain and repair the roof and structure, in addition to base rent. The annualized straight line rental income for the Aviva Property is $4.6 million.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The Aviva Loan provides for quarterly interest payments with all principal outstanding being due on the maturity date in March 2019. The Aviva Loan bears interest at a stated rate of 3.8%, fixed by an interest rate swap entered into with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
