Potential Property Acquisitions
We are currently considering acquiring the properties listed below. Our decision to acquire these properties will generally depend upon:
- no material adverse change occurring relating to the underlying properties, the tenants or in the local economic conditions;
- our receipts of sufficient net proceeds from our offering and financing proceeds to make this acquisition; and
- our receipt of satisfactory due diligence information including appraisals, environmental reports and lease information.
Other properties may be identified in the future that we may acquire before or instead of these underlying properties. We cannot guarantee that we will complete this acquisition.
In evaluating these properties as potential acquisitions and determining the appropriate amount of consideration to be paid for each property, we have considered a variety of factors including, overall valuation of net rental income, location, demographics, quality of tenant, length of lease, price per square foot, occupancy and the fact that overall rental rate at the shopping center is comparable to market rates. We believe that these properties are well located, have acceptable roadway access, are well maintained and have been professionally managed. These properties will be subject to competition from similar shopping centers within their market area, and their economic performance could be affected by changes in local economic conditions. We did not consider any other factors materially relevant to our decision to acquire these properties.
