Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Totowa Commerce Center

On November 19, 2014, IPT Acquisitions LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Industrial Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Totowa Property Associates, LLC (the “Seller”) to acquire a 100% fee interest in one industrial building located in the New Jersey market totaling approximately 206,000 square feet on 10.9 acres (the “Totowa Commerce Center”). The Seller is not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates. The building is 100% leased to two customers with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 8.4 years. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the lease agreements are expected to be assigned to and assumed by the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary. In general, the customers will be responsible for paying directly or reimbursing the landlord for the customers’ pro-rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, and repair and maintenance costs of the property.

The total purchase price is expected to be approximately $26.3 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs. In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company deposited $0.5 million into an escrow account. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2014, by and among the Company, Industrial Property Operating Partnership LP, and Industrial Property Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), the Company expects to pay an acquisition fee to the Advisor equal to 2.0% of the purchase price of this transaction. The Company plans to fund this acquisition using proceeds from the Company’s public offering and borrowings from the Company’s corporate line of credit.

The acquisition of the Totowa Commerce Center is expected to close during the first quarter of 2015. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to purchase the Totowa Commerce Center on the terms set forth herein. The consummation of the acquisition is subject to the Company’s completion of due diligence and various closing conditions to be met by the parties. If the Company does not close on the acquisition, there are circumstances under which it may forfeit the deposit it has funded.

Forward-Looking Statement

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements (such as those concerning the potential acquisition of the Totowa Commerce Center) that are based on the Company’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks associated with the Company’s ability to complete an acquisition under contract, and those risks set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although these forward-looking statements reflect management’s belief as to future events, actual events or the Company’s investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. To the extent that the Company’s assumptions differ from actual results, the Company’s ability to meet such forward-looking statements may be significantly hindered. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The Company cannot assure you that it will attain its investment objectives.
