Item    8.01    Other Events.
Background
As previously reported, on December 16, 2013, Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Inland Diversified Cumming Market Place, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company (“Market Place”), and Bulwark Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of the Company (“Bulwark”), entered into two Purchase and Sale Agreements with Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation and unaffiliated third party purchaser (the “Purchaser”), collectively providing for the sale of a total of 84 single tenant, net-leased properties to the Purchaser.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Bulwark, the Company and the Purchaser (the “Bulwark Agreement”) provides for the sale by Bulwark to the Purchaser of 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests in certain Delaware limited liability companies owned by Bulwark (collectively, the “Bulwark Entities”) which own, directly or indirectly, a portfolio of nine net-leased commercial real estate properties (collectively, the “Bulwark Properties”).
The Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among the Company, Market Place, and the Purchaser (as amended, the “Net-Lease Purchase Agreement”) provides for (1) the sale by the Company to the Purchaser of 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests (collectively, the “Purchased Interests”) in certain Delaware limited liability companies (collectively, the “Purchased Entities”) which own, directly or indirectly, a portfolio of 74 net-leased commercial real estate properties (collectively, the “Net-Lease Properties”), and (2) the sale by Market Place to the Purchaser of fee simple title to a single net-leased commercial real estate property (the “Market Place Property”). The Net-Lease Purchase Agreement provides that the Purchased Interests and the Market Place Property will be sold to the Purchaser in two separate tranches. The closing of the sale of the first tranche of Purchased Interests pursuant to the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement occurred on January 31, 2014, resulting in the sale by the Company to the Purchaser of Purchased Interests in Purchased Entities which own a total of 46 of the Net-Lease Properties for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $202.0 million. The sale of the second tranche of Purchased Interests pursuant to the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement (referred to herein as “Tranche II”) is being completed at two separate closings, the first of which occurred on April 1, 2014 (as described below under “Initial Tranche II Closing”). The second Tranche II closing is expected to occur by the end of April 2014 or soon thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions.
Bulwark Closing
The closing of the sale of the Bulwark Interests (the “Bulwark Closing”) occurred on March 31, 2014, resulting in the sale by Bulwark to the Purchaser of the Bulwark Entities which own, directly or indirectly, all nine of the Bulwark Properties for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $72.3 million. The purchase price paid by the Purchaser at the Bulwark Closing was subject to customary adjustments for a transaction of this type, including proration for rent, expenses, deposits, taxes and other customary items. Pursuant to the Bulwark Agreement, the Company paid certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Bulwark Closing, including all transfer, excise, documentary, stamp or similar taxes triggered by the sale.
Initial Tranche II Closing
The initial Tranche II closing pursuant to the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement occurred on April 1, 2014, resulting in the sale to the Purchaser by the Company and Market Place of (1) Purchased Interests in Purchased Entities which own a total of 12 of the Net-Lease Properties and (2) the Market Place Property (collectively, the “Initial Tranche II Properties”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.6 million. The purchase price paid by the Purchaser at the initial Tranche II closing reflects customary adjustments for a transaction of this type, including for mortgage indebtness secured by certain of the Initial Tranche II Properties assumed by the Purchaser and proration for rent, expenses, deposits, taxes and other customary items. Pursuant to the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement, the Company paid certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing, including all costs and expenses, including lenders’ attorney fees, in connection with the Purchaser’s assumption of mortgage loans secured by certain of the Initial Tranche II Properties and all transfer, excise, documentary, stamp or similar taxes triggered by the sale. The Company anticipates that the second Tranche II closing, at which the Purchased Interests in the Purchased Entities which own the remaining Net-Lease Properties will be sold to the Purchaser, will occur by the end of April 2014 or soon thereafter, subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions.
The foregoing descriptions of the Bulwark Agreement and the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Bulwark Agreement and the Net-Lease Purchase Agreement, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 17, 2013.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements,” which are not historical facts, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include statements about the properties that will be sold in the transactions discussed herein and the anticipated timing for the completion of those transactions. The Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the ability of the closing conditions to be satisfied and the risks discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If the Company updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
