ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
Disposition of Wesley Village
On November 6, 2012, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBS Legacy Partners Wesley LP, formerly known as KBS Legacy Partners Wesley LLC, purchased a 301-unit apartment complex on approximately 11.0 acres of land and, through a second indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBS Legacy Partners Wesley Land LLC (and, together with KBS Legacy Partners Wesley LP, the “Owner”), purchased the adjacent 3.8-acre parcel of undeveloped land located in Charlotte, North Carolina (“Wesley Village”).
On December 29, 2016, after the completion of the initial marketing of the Company’s portfolio and individual properties by Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., a leading provider of commercial real estate and capital markets services and an unaffiliated independent third party, in connection with the Company’s implementation of its strategic alternatives, the Owner entered into an agreement for purchase and sale (the “Wesley Village Agreement”) for the sale of Wesley Village to Bluerock Real Estate, LLC (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Wesley Village Agreement, the purchase price for Wesley Village was $58.0 million. The Wesley Village Agreement was subsequently terminated, reinstated and amended and the purchase price was reduced to $57.2 million. On March 9, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Wesley Village to the Purchaser for $57.2 million. The aggregate cost of Wesley Village was $49.9 million, which includes the initial purchase price of $45.8 million plus capital expenditures since acquisition of $3.5 million and acquisition fees and expenses of $0.6 million. In connection with the disposition of Wesley Village, the Company repaid the entire $26.7 million principal balance and all other sums due under a mortgage loan secured by Wesley Village (the “Wesley Village Mortgage Loan”), including a prepayment penalty of $0.3 million.
Gary T. Kachadurian, one of the Company’s independent directors, is also a director of a real estate investment trust sponsored by the Purchaser (the “Purchaser REIT”) and is Vice Chairman of the manager of the Purchaser REIT and as such, Mr. Kachadurian (i) recused himself from all of the Company’s deliberations relating to the disposition of Wesley Village, and (ii) informed the Company and the board of directors that he recused himself from all of the Purchaser REIT’s and its manager’s deliberations relating to the acquisition of Wesley Village.
The Company intends to use some of the net proceeds from the disposition of Wesley Village, after paying sale-related expenses and paying off the Wesley Village Mortgage Loan, to: (i) make renovations at certain remaining real estate properties, which the Company believes could increase property-level NOI and create additional stockholder value, (ii) pay a special distribution to its stockholders, and (iii) potentially provide additional availability under the Company’s share redemption program. Any future special distributions the Company pays from the net proceeds from the disposition of Wesley Village will reduce the Company’s estimated value per share. Any additional availability under the Company’s share redemption program would be available upon ten days notice to the Company’s stockholders as described in the share redemption program.
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing includes 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. These statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and members of its management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law. Such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. The Company makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a number of assumptions involving the judgment of management.
The Company can give no assurance (i) as to the amount or timing of any special distributions it may pay from the net proceeds of the disposition of Wesley Village, (ii) that its plan to renovate certain of its remaining properties will provide a return to stockholders that equals or exceeds the Company’s estimated value per share, or (iii) as to the amount of additional availability, if any, that would be provided under the Company’s share redemption program, or that such amount would be sufficient to redeem the shares of any stockholders that previously have requested that their shares be redeemed pursuant to the terms of the share redemption program and that have not withdrawn such request.
The forward-looking statements also depend on factors such as: future economic, competitive and market conditions; the Company’s ability to maintain occupancy levels and rental rates at its real estate properties; and other risks identified in Part I, Item IA of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC.
