The information in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03. | Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
On April 23, 2015, Invacare Corporation (the "Company") consummated a sale and leaseback transaction (the “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated February 24, 2015 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) between the Company and Industrial Realty Group, LLC (“IRG”). In the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company sold to IRG’s assignees its properties located at (1) One Invacare Way and 1200 Taylor Street, Elyria, Ohio; (2) 1166 Taylor Street, Elyria, Ohio; (3) 39400 Taylor Parkway, North Ridgeville, Ohio; and (4) 2101 East Lake Mary, Sanford, Florida (collectively, the “Real Property”), for a purchase price of $23 million.
At the closing of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction on April 23, 2015, the Company entered into four lease agreements (each, a “Lease Agreement”) with Elyria Taylor, LLC and ICP One, LLC, each affiliates of IRG, with respect to the Company’s lease back of each of the five facilities comprising the Real Property for a term of 20 years. Under the Lease Agreements, the Company’s financial obligations will include annual base rent and responsibility for all costs of ownership and property-related expenses. The Lease Agreements include cross default provisions whereby a default under any individual Lease Agreement will constitute a default under all of the Lease Agreements. The total annual rent for the Real Property will be $2,275,000 for the first year of the term, and will increase annually based on the applicable geographical consumer price index.
Each Lease Agreement has three 10-year renewal options, which will be deemed automatically renewed unless the Company elects to terminate any such tenancy upon not less than 18 months’ prior written notice. Annual rent during each option term will be based upon the greater of (1) the then fair market rental rate for each individual property and (2) the then current rent, and will continue to increase annually based on the applicable geographical consumer price index.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Lease Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the form of Lease Agreement, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
