Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On May 11, 2016, CKX Lands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement to Purchase and Sell Real Estate (the “Agreement”) with Mikie M. Groscurth, Carol D. Sewell, David Dartez, Marilyn Richard, Annie B. Worthy, Connie L. Latiolais, and Madelyn W. Ward to purchase approximately 880 acres of land located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company was not obligated to purchase the land until July 15, 2016. The Company anticipates the purchase and sale of the land will close no later than July 20, 2016.

 

Management has estimated that approximately $408,000 of standing timber exists on the acquired land, and that amount will be allocated to timber on the Company’s balance sheet. The remainder of the purchase price, $1,492,000, will be allocated to land on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, 50% of all mineral rights will be conveyed to the Company on the closing date. The Company paid cash for the purchase of this land.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s 10-Q.
