Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 6, 2014, we renewed our $5,500,000 North Springs land loan with North Springs Financial, LLC as permitted under the terms of the July 18, 2013 loan documents. The renewal extended the maturity date to October 17, 2014. The renewed loan continues to require monthly interest only payments at an interest rate of 13% per annum. Upon the renewal, we paid a 1.0% extension fee and increased the interest reserve by $178,750 to pay the monthly interest only payments during the extension term. We can extend the loan for an additional three months to January 17, 2015 by paying a 1.0% extension fee and funding the interest reserve during the additional extension term. The loan is secured by our North Springs rail station property. As previously disclosed, we have retained Jones Lang LaSalle, a global full service real estate firm, to market and sell our North Springs transit-oriented, mixed-use property. The North Springs property is a 10-acre site located on Peachtree Dunwoody Road across the street from the North Springs rail station in Sandy Springs. The Perimeter Center/Sandy Springs market is one of the most dynamic markets in the southeastern United States. Perimeter Center is Atlanta’s largest employment center outside of downtown Atlanta and includes approximately 40 million square feet of office and retail space. The area currently has over 123,000 jobs with major employers such as UPS, AT&T Mobility, State Farm, Cox Enterprises, Newell Rubbermaid, Axiall, InterContinental Hotels Group, First Data, AFC Enterprises and Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc., all of which have a headquarters located in this area. Just south of the Perimeter Center/Sandy Springs business district is the largest concentration of medical research and medical care facilities in the Southeast, employing over 14,000 health care professionals. Northside Hospital, Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta – Scottish Rite attract patients from across Georgia and the Southeast. The North Springs property is zoned for a mixed-use development consisting of 356 multifamily units, 210,000 square feet of office space, and 56,000 square feet of retail space. North Springs has an independent appraised value of $16,350,000 and is listed for sale with Jones Lang LaSalle for $16,000,000. We believe the current market and demand for a transit-oriented, mixed-use site like North Springs provides us with an excellent opportunity to sell this asset. Upon the sale of the North Springs property, we will pay off the $5,500,000 loan and will pay the lender a 1% repayment fee.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Consistent with our previous disclosure, we continue to pursue and work on strategic alternatives that would enhance shareholder value through a sale, merger, or other business combination. We remain in active discussions with companies that have expressed a desire to become a public company through a transaction with Roberts Realty.
