ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (“BNL”) today announced that it has successfully completed the internalization of its management pursuant to the previously announced transaction with Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (the “Former Manager”) and its affiliates through a series of transactions involving the acquisition of the Former Manager by BNL’s operating company, Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the “Internalization”).
As a result of the Internalization, approximately 69 employees, including BNL’s current executive officers, management team, and corporate staff, are now employees of BNL through a subsidiary, providing a seamless transition and clarity as to future senior leadership. Each of Christopher J. Czarnecki, Ryan M. Albano, Sean T. Cutt, and John D. Moragne entered into employment agreements to serve as BNL’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, respectively.
As previously announced in November 2019, the Internalization was approved by a special committee comprised entirely of independent and disinterested members of BNL’s Board of Directors, which retained independent legal and financial advisors, as well as BNL’s Board of Directors.
The Internalization was consummated for upfront consideration of $300 million, consisting of a combination of cash, common stock, and operating partnership units, with the potential for additional earnout consideration of up to $75 million over four tranches of increasing performance incentives. Additional information regarding the terms of the Internalization are available in the Current Report on Form8-K filed today by BNL with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
