Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously reported on December 1, 2014, a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) of CNL Growth Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement effective November 25, 2014 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party for the sale of the Joint Venture’s 258-unit Class A garden-style multifamily community located in Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, South Carolina (the “Long Point Property”). The Company owns and operates the Joint Venture together with its partner, WF Invest Long Point, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Woodfield”). The sale price for the Long Point Property was $55.5 million.

On January 15, 2015, the Joint Venture completed the sale of the Long Point Property to Windward Long Point Apartments LLC. The net cash to the Company from the sale of the Long Point Property is between approximately $12.2 million and $12.7 million, after repayment of approximately $28.6 million of debt and associated costs, any indemnification, and distributions to Woodfield in accordance with the provisions of the Joint Venture’s governing documents. The Company has not yet determined how the net proceeds from the sale of the Long Point Property will be utilized; however, the use of the proceeds could include the retirement of debt, the acquisition of interests held by joint venture partners, and/or a special distribution to stockholders.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Determination of Estimated Net Asset Value Per Share as of December 31, 2014

Background –2013 Year End Valuation

In July 2013 the Company adopted a valuation policy (the “Valuation Policy”) consistent with IPA Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, which was adopted by the Investment Program Association, a trade association for non-listed direct investment vehicles (the “IPA”) effective May 1, 2013 (the “IPA Guidelines”). In December 2013, in order to establish an annual, year-end schedule for determining the estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Company’s common shares, as recommended by the IPA Guidelines, the valuation committee of the Board, comprised solely of independent directors (the “Valuation Committee”) engaged CBRE Capital Advisors, Inc., an independent investment banking firm (“CBRE Cap”) to provide a valuation analysis of the Company as of December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Year End Valuation Report”). On the basis of the 2013 Year End Valuation Report, the Valuation Committee recommended to the Board and the full Board unanimously approved $9.90 as the estimated NAV per share of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Year End NAV”). The 2013 Year End NAV is reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 15, 2014.

Current Valuation – 2014 Year End Valuation

In accordance with the Company’s Valuation Policy and in order to assist brokers in providing information on customer account statements consistent with the requirements of NASD Notice 01-08 and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 2340, the Valuation Committee again engaged CBRE Cap to assist it and the Board in estimating the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock (the “2014 NAV per share”) as of December 31, 2014 (the “Valuation Date”). The Valuation Committee and the Board deemed it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to engage CBRE Cap to provide this latest valuation analysis, based upon CBRE Cap’s familiarity with the Company’s business model and portfolio of assets.

CBRE Cap prepared and provided to the Valuation Committee a report dated January 9, 2015 containing, among other information, a range of values for the Company’s common stock as of the Valuation Date (the “2014 Valuation Report”). On January 13, 2015, upon its receipt and review of the 2014 Valuation Report, the Valuation Committee met and concluded that CBRE Cap’s proposed range was reasonable, and recommended to the Board that it adopt $10.63 as the Company’s estimated 2014 NAV per share, which value falls within the range in the 2014 Valuation Report. At a special meeting of the Board held on January 13, 2015, on the basis of the 2014 Valuation Report and the recommendation of the Valuation Committee, the Board unanimously approved $10.63 as the Company’s estimated 2014 NAV per share.

The valuation process used by the Valuation Committee and the Board to determine the estimated 2014 NAV per share was designed to follow recommendations in the IPA Guidelines and the Company’s Valuation Policy.

Valuation Methodologies

In preparation of the 2014 Valuation Report, CBRE Cap conducted property level and aggregate valuation analyses of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and provided a range for the Company’s 2014 NAV per share. In preparation of the 2014 Valuation Report, CBRE Cap considered the IPA Guidelines and utilized operating information and financial materials and projections prepared by the Company’s senior management, CNL Global Growth Advisors, LLC, the Company’s advisor (the “Advisor”), and/or the Company’s joint venture partners.

CBRE Cap relied on the following sources in determining the major assumptions in the 2014 Valuation Report:

 

    Restricted-use appraisals (“MAI Appraisals”);

 

    Proprietary research of affiliates of CBRE Cap, including market and sector capitalization rate surveys;

 

    Third-party research, including Wall Street equity reports and online data providers;

 

    The Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Long Point Property;

 

    The Company’s public reports filed with the Commission; and

 

    Guidance from senior management of the Company and the Advisor.

MAI Appraisals of the Company’s properties were performed in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”). The MAI Appraisals were commissioned by CBRE Cap from CBRE Appraisal Group, an affiliate of CBRE Cap that conducts appraisals and valuations of real properties. Each of the MAI Appraisals was prepared by personnel who are members of the Appraisal Institute and have the Member of Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) designations. Discreet values were assigned to each property in the Company’s portfolio.

 

2


As of the Valuation Date, the Company owned interests in a total of 16 real estate properties, 15 of which were owned through joint venture arrangements. All of the multifamily properties were either recently developed or were currently under development. CBRE Cap categorized the Company’s real estate properties into three classifications: operating assets, development projects and assets held-for-sale. The following summarizes the valuation methodologies with respect to each asset class, which were applied by CBRE Cap and summarized in the 2014 Valuation Report:

Operating Assets. Discounted cash flow analyses were created for the Company’s operational properties utilizing an assumed holding period of four years from the date of acquisition. Actual cash flows for the operating properties were based on realized rents. Future operating cash flows for the operating properties were estimated utilizing historical cash flows from realized rents, with assumptions regarding stabilization for properties not yet stabilized.

Development Projects. Discounted cash flow analyses were calculated for each of the Company’s development projects assuming a holding period of four years from the date of acquisition. Future operating cash flow of each development project was estimated utilizing their respective development budgets and cash flow projections prepared by the respective projects’ joint venture development partners in conjunction with the Company’s senior management and the Advisor.

Estimated future cash flows of both the operating assets and the development projects were adjusted for the properties’ respective joint venture arrangements (after debt service and the repayment of debt) in order to reflect the Company’s economic interest in each asset. In addition, the estimated future cash flows assume a hypothetical sale of the properties and liquidation of the joint ventures in accordance with the governing agreements at the end of the holding periods described to derive a present equity value to the Company for each of the properties. For purposes of these calculations, CBRE Cap did not deduct disposition costs and fees and debt prepayment penalties, if any, for purposes of determining the estimated value of the Company’s interests, to be consistent with the IPA Guidelines.

Assets Held For Sale. As of the Valuation Date, the Company’s Long Point Property was under contract for sale to an unaffiliated third party purchaser (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), and accordingly, the Long Point Property was treated as held for sale for purposes of the 2014 Valuation Report. The Purchase and Sale Agreement provided for the sale of the Long Point Property for $55.5 million, and CBRE Cap estimated the value of the Long Point Property at $55.5 million based on the Purchase and Sale Agreement, then deducted current debt on the Long Point Property from the sale price and applied the net proceeds of the sale in accordance with the provisions of the Joint Venture’s governing documents, to derive an equity value to the Company for the Long Point property. On January 15, 2015, the sale of the Long Point Property closed. (See, Item 2.01 of this Current Report.)

Valuation Summary; Material Assumptions

In reaching estimated valuation ranges for the Company’s portfolio, CBRE Cap created a valuation range for each operating asset and each development project by varying the discount rate utilized and the terminal capitalization rate for each. CBRE Cap set the range at 50 basis points on the discount rate, and 30 basis points on the terminal capitalization rate of each asset, which represents an approximate 5% sensitivity on the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate ranges. A 5% decrease in the discount rate has a positive $0.10 impact on the net asset value per share; and a 5% increase in the discount rate has a negative $0.10 impact on the net asset value per share.

As the basis for the discount rates applied, CBRE Cap estimated the Company’s cost of equity using the capital asset pricing model (“CAPM”). A terminal capitalization rate, derived from the MAI Appraisals prepared for each of the operating assets and development projects and checked for reasonableness by CBRE Cap, was utilized to calculate terminal value at stabilization in the final year of the analysis. Terminal capitalization rates varied by asset based on the specific geographic location and other relevant factors.

The following table summarizes the key assumptions that were employed by CBRE Cap in the discounted cash flow models to estimate the value of the Company’s operating assets and development properties:

(2) Represents the weighted average terminal capitalization rates utilized in determining mid-point values.
(3) A holding period of four years from the date of the acquisition of the property was assumed for valuation purposes of the operating assets and the development projects.

In its 2014 Valuation Report, CBRE Cap included an estimate of the December 31, 2014 value of the Company’s assets other than real estate and its liabilities other than mortgage debt, including cash and select other assets net of accounts payable, and other accrued expenses and other liabilities. Such values were estimated by the Company’s Advisor and senior management using the most recently available internal balance sheet, adjusted for an estimate of activity through the Valuation Date.

The 2014 Valuation Report contained analyses of indicative values, including a range for the Company’s net asset value per share of $10.36 to $10.91 as of the Valuation Date, including deductions for subordinated incentive fees payable to the Company’s Advisor in a hypothetical liquidation. Taking into consideration the reasonableness of the valuation methodologies, assumptions and conclusions contained in the 2014 Valuation Report, the Board determined the Company’s net asset value to be approximately $239.4 million, after subordinated incentive fees payable to the Company’s Advisor in a hypothetical liquidation, or $10.63 per share, based on a share count of approximately 22.5 million shares issued and outstanding as of the Valuation Date, such values falling within the range of values contained in the 2014 Valuation Report. In determining $10.63 as the estimated net asset value per share, the Board considered the estimated amount of subordinated incentive fees in a hypothetical liquidation of the Company at the low and high ends of this range of between $0.01 and $0.11 per share, respectively.

As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies considered by the Valuation Committee and the Board, in reaching an estimate of the value of the Company’s shares, are based upon all of the foregoing estimates, assumptions, judgments and opinions that may, or may not, prove to be correct. The use of different estimates, assumptions, judgments or opinions may have resulted in significantly different estimates of the value of the Company’s shares.

Additional Information Regarding the 2014 Valuation, Limitations of Estimated Share Value, and the Engagement of CBRE Cap

Throughout the valuation process, the Valuation Committee, the Company’s Advisor, senior members of management and CBRE Cap reviewed, confirmed and approved the processes and methodologies and their consistency with real estate industry standards and best practices.

The 2014 Valuation Report was based upon market, economic, financial and other information, circumstances and conditions existing prior to the Valuation Date and any material change in such information, circumstances and/or conditions may have a material effect on the Company’s estimated NAV per share. CBRE Cap’s valuation materials were addressed solely to the Company to assist the Board and the Valuation Committee in establishing an estimated NAV for the Company’s common stock. CBRE Cap’s valuation materials were not addressed to the public and should not be relied upon by any other person to establish an estimated value of the Company’s common stock. The 2014 Valuation Report does not constitute a recommendation by CBRE Cap to purchase or sell any shares of the Company’s common stock. CBRE Cap is not responsible for the Board’s determination of the 2013 Year End NAV, the 2014 NAV per share, or any other estimated NAV per share of the Company’s common stock; and CBRE Cap did not participate in any determination of the offering price in the Company’s public offerings.

While CBRE Cap reviewed for reasonableness the information supplied or otherwise made available to it by the Company or the Company’s Advisor, CBRE Cap assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all such information and of all information supplied or otherwise made available to it by any other party, and did not undertake any duty or responsibility to verify independently any of such information. With respect to financial forecasts and other information and data provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with CBRE Cap, CBRE Cap assumed that such forecasts and other information and data were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the Company, and relied upon the Company to advise CBRE Cap promptly if any information previously provided became inaccurate or was required to be updated during the period of its review. In preparing its valuation materials, CBRE Cap did not, and it was not requested to, solicit third party indications of interest for the Company in connection with possible purchases of the Company’s securities or the acquisition of all or any part of the Company.

In performing its analyses, CBRE Cap made numerous assumptions as of various points in time with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and regulatory conditions, current and future rental market for the Company’s operating properties and those in development and other matters, many of which are necessarily subject to change and beyond the control of CBRE Cap and the Company. The analyses performed by CBRE Cap are not necessarily indicative of actual values, trading values or actual future results of the Company’s common stock that might be achieved, all of which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the 2014 Valuation Report. The analyses do not purport to reflect the prices at which the properties may actually be sold, and such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty. The actual value of the Company’s common stock may vary significantly depending on numerous factors that generally impact the price of securities, the financial condition of the Company and the state of the real estate industry more generally. Accordingly, with respect to the estimated net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock, neither the Company nor CBRE Cap can give any assurance that:

 

    a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at this estimated value;

 

    a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Company’s estimated net asset value per share upon liquidation of the Company’s assets and settlement of the Company’s liabilities or a sale of the Company;

 

    the Company’s shares would trade at a price equal to or greater than the estimated net asset value per share if the Company listed them on a national securities exchange; or

 

    the methodology used to estimate the Company’s net asset value per share would be acceptable to FINRA or under ERISA for compliance with its reporting requirements.

The estimated 2014 NAV per share was determined by the Board as of a date certain, December 31, 2014. The value of the Company’s shares, however, will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, developments related to individual assets and responses to the real estate and capital markets.

CBRE Group, Inc. (“CBRE”) is a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company headquartered in Los Angeles, California and one of the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firms. CBRE Cap, a FINRA registered broker-dealer and a subsidiary of CBRE, is an investment banking firm that specializes in providing real estate financial services. CBRE Cap and affiliates possess substantial experience in the valuation of assets similar to those owned by the Company and regularly undertake the valuation of securities in connection with public offerings, private placements, business combinations and similar transactions. For the preparation of the 2014 Valuation Report, the Company paid CBRE Cap a customary fee for services of this nature, no part of which was contingent relating to the provision of services or specific findings. Other than a valuation report as of June 30, 2013, the 2013 Year End Valuation Report, and the 2014 Valuation Report, the Company has not engaged CBRE Cap for any other services during the past two years, however, the Company engaged an affiliate of CBRE to assist the Company with the sale of the Gwinnett Center and the sale of the Long Point Property. In addition, during the past two years, certain of the Company’s affiliates engaged affiliates of CBRE primarily for various real estate-related services, and the Company anticipates that affiliates of CBRE will continue to provide similar real estate-related services in the future. In addition, certain affiliates of the Company’s Advisor have engaged or expect to engage CBRE Cap to serve as their third party valuation advisor, and the Company may in its discretion engage CBRE Cap to assist the Board in future determinations of the Company’s estimated net asset value. The Company is not affiliated with CBRE, CBRE Cap or any of their affiliates. While the Company and affiliates of the Advisor have engaged and may engage CBRE Cap or its affiliates in the future for valuations and commercial real estate-related services of various kinds, the Company believes that there are no material conflicts of interest with respect to the Company’s engagement of CBRE Cap.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not statements of historical fact, including statements about the purported value of the Company’s common stock, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, but reflect management’s current understandings, intentions, beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and/or predictions regarding the future of the Company’s business and its performance, statements of future economic performance, and other future conditions and forecasts of future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “continues,” “pro forma,” “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “should” and “could,” and words and terms of similar substance in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance, business strategy and portfolios, projected growth prospects, cash flows, costs and financing needs, legal proceedings, amount and timing of anticipated future distributions, estimated per share value of the Company’s common stock, and other matters. The Company’s forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. While the Company’s management believes its forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. As with any projection or forecast, forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data and/or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s inability to control or accurately predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.

For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business, and important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements, please refer to the factors listed and described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s documents filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, copies of which may be obtained from the Company’s website at http://www.cnlgrowthproperties.com.

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made; the Company undertakes no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or revise its forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed assumptions, the occurrence of subsequent events, or changes to future operating results over time unless otherwise required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company is presented as if the disposition of the Long Point Property described in Note 2. “Pro Forma Transaction” had occurred as of September 30, 2014. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company are presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (the “Pro Forma Periods”), and include certain pro forma adjustments to illustrate the estimated effect of the Company’s disposition, described in Note 2. “Pro Forma Transaction”, as if they had occurred as of the first day of the first period presented. The amounts included in the historical columns represent the Company’s historical balance sheet and operating results for the respective Pro Forma Periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). Pro forma financial information is intended to provide information about the continuing impact of a transaction by showing how a specific transaction or group of transactions might have affected historical financial statements. Pro forma financial information illustrates only the isolated and objectively measurable (based on historically determined amounts) effects of a particular transaction, and excludes effects based on judgmental estimates of how historical management practices and operating decisions may or may not have changed as a result of the transaction. Therefore, pro forma financial information does not include information about the possible or expected impact of current actions taken by management in response to the pro forma transaction, as if management’s actions were carried out in previous reporting periods.

This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the Company’s financial results or financial position as if the transactions reflected herein had occurred, or been in effect during the Pro Forma Periods. In addition, this unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should not be viewed as indicative of the Company’s expected financial results for future periods.

 

2. Pro Forma Transaction

On November 25, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Sentinel Acquisitions Corporation, an unaffiliated third party, for the sale of the Company’s Long Point Property. The purchase price for the Long Point Property is $55.5 million excluding transaction costs. The purchase and sale agreement provides for the consummation of the sale on January 15, 2015.

On January 15, 2015, the Company completed the sale of the Long Point Property.

 

3. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

The adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet represent adjustments needed to the Company’s historical balance sheet as if the disposition of the Long Point Property occurred as of September 30, 2014.

 

  (a) These adjustments reflect the net sales proceeds received from the sale of the Long Point Property and the elimination of the related account balances as if the sale was consummated as of September 30, 2014. Accumulated deficit has been increased to reflect the receipt of net cash proceeds and removal of assets and liabilities related to the sale, as follows:

 

Sale Price

$ 55,500,000   

Closing and transaction costs

  (1,065,245
  

 

 

 

Net sales proceeds

  54,434,755   

Net book value of the Long Point Property sold

  (26,999,402
  

 

 

 

Gain on sale

$ 27,435,353   
  

 

 

 


  (b) These adjustments reflect the use of a portion of the net cash proceeds received from the sale of the Long Point Property to pay down existing indebtedness, including related prepayment fee, accrued interest, and to eliminate loan costs and other assets related to the existing indebtedness.

 

4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations represent adjustments needed to the Company’s historical results to remove the historical operating results of the Long Point Property as if the property had been sold prior to January 1, 2011.

 

  (a) Except as described in (b) and (c) below, these amounts represent the elimination of the operations on the Long Point Property from the historical amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, to give effect to the sale of the Long Point Property as if the sale occurred on the first day of the first Pro Forma Period Presented. The Long Point Property was classified as held for sale in September 2014, as a result, the operations of these properties were included as part of income or loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are not shown in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations. The land was acquired in 2011, however, operations commenced in 2012. Therefore, there are no operations that require a pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

  (b) Amount includes the elimination of asset management fee expenses, calculated at 0.08334% monthly on the invested assets value of the Long Point Property for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. These fees were historically paid by the Company to its advisor and would not have been incurred subsequent to the disposition of these assets.

 

  (c) Represents the elimination of interest expense, loan cost amortization and the change in the fair market value of the interest rate cap to reflect the use of net cash proceeds from the sale of the Long Point Property to retire indebtedness that was collateralized the Long Point Property as if it occurred on the first day of the first Pro Forma Period presented.
