Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I Announces Net Asset Value (NAV) per Share

 

 

Costa Mesa, CA, January 19, 2018 – The board of trust managers of Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I (the “Company”), a publicly registered non-listed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on investing in single-tenant income-producing corporate properties, today announced a $10.66 per share estimated net asset value (“NAV”) of its common stock as of December 31, 2017.

 

“We are pleased with the performance of the Company and the strength of its real estate portfolio,” said Harold Hofer, the Company’s chief executive officer. “We will continue our efforts to deliver dividends and to maximize the value of the portfolio through active management.”

 

Estimated NAV

The Company engaged Cushman and Wakefield Western, Inc., Valuation and Advisory Group (“Cushman & Wakefield”), to assist the board of trust managers with determining a fair value range of the Company’s real estate portfolio and a resultant estimated per share NAV. The estimated per share NAV disclosed above has been approved by the Company’s board of trust managers, including its independent trust managers.

 

The valuation was based upon the estimated market value of the Company’s assets, less the estimated market value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the total shares outstanding at December 31, 2017 and was performed in accordance with the valuation guidelines established by the Investment Program Associates Practice Guideline 3013-01, Valuation of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs. The estimated NAV does not reflect any “portfolio premium”, nor does it reflect an enterprise value for the Company. The estimated NAV also does not reflect costs associated with selling or liquidating the Company in the future, included fees that may be owed to the Company’s adviser in a sale or liquidation scenario. This is the first estimated NAV valuation that the Company has conducted. The board of trust managers intends to determine an estimated per share NAV on at least an annual basis going forward.
