Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 11, 2015, Global Income Trust, Inc., through various operating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into an agreement on August 10, 2015 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Griffin Capital Corporation, a non-affiliated third party (the “Buyer”), for the sale to the Buyer or its affiliates of the then three remaining properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio (the “Properties”) for an aggregate sale price of approximately $93.7 million in cash, less the loans encumbering the properties, which were to be assumed by the Buyer at closing (the “Sale”).

On December 10, 2015, at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company at which a quorum was present, the stockholders approved the Sale and a plan that contemplates the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company following the Sale (the “Plan of Dissolution”). On December 11, 2015, the Company and the Buyer consummated the Sale, which resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $38.6 million. At the closing, the Buyer assigned all of its interest in the Properties to Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT, Inc., a public non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by the Buyer.

Pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, the Company will distribute to stockholders the net proceeds from the Sale, along with all other cash on hand after the disposition of remaining assets held by the Company and the payment of all liabilities. In addition, CNL Global Income Advisors, LLC, the Company’s advisor and an affiliate of CNL Financial Group, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, will make a direct payment to the stockholders in respect of previously paid reimbursements of certain organizational, offering and operating expenses (the “Direct Payment”). Stockholders will receive, including the Direct Payment, an aggregate of $7.01 for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock,which will be paid on or about December 31, 2015. The Company anticipates filing articles of dissolution, in accordance with the applicable provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law, prior to the end of 2015.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On or about December 31, 2015, the Company will send a letter to its stockholders, substantially in the form filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1, together with the Company’s payment of the final distribution and the Direct Payment from the Company’s advisor.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at September 30, 2015 illustrates the estimated effects of the Sale described in Item 2.01 above, as if the Sale had occurred on such date. The below unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (the “Pro Forma Periods”) include certain pro forma adjustments illustrating the estimated effects of the Sale, as if it had occurred prior to the first day of each of the Pro Forma Periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information below is presented for informational purposes only, does not purport to be indicative of the Company’s financial results as if the Sale had occurred on the date indicated or been in effect during the Pro Forma Periods, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

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.
