Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 26, 2010, Cullen Agricultural Holding Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Sales Contract (“Agreement”) with Wilbert Roller (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company will sell to Buyer approximately 1,070 acres of land for $2 million. The number of acres being sold represents approximately 35% of the acres of land owned by the Company. Cullen Inc. Holdings Ltd. (“Cullen Holdings”), an entity affiliated with Eric J. Watson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, holds a mortgage on the land being sold and has agreed to release the Company from such mortgage in order for the Company to consummate the sale. The Company intends to use substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the land to repay a portion of the existing promissory note held by Cullen Holdings, currently in the amount of $4.1 million.
The Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions including the Buyer obtaining commercially reasonable financing within 45 days from the date of execution of the Agreement. It is anticipated that the closing of the purchase will take place no later than 60 days after the Buyer obtains the necessary financing for the purchase.
