Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 13, 2012, CPPT Darien LLC (“CPPT Darien”) a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Clarion Partners Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with SHR1 LLC (“SHR1”), a Connecticut limited liability company, which is not affiliated with the Company, its advisor or any of their respective affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, CPPT Darien agreed to purchase an 18,754 square foot single-tenant medical office building leased to Stamford Health System, Inc., a not-for-profit provider of comprehensive healthcare services, on a 1.27 acre site in Darien, Connecticut (the “Darien Property”) for a purchase price of $7.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Darien Property was constructed in 1997 and expanded in 2008.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CPPT Darien was required to pay an initial earnest money deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) of $720,000. Clarion Partners, LLC, the Company’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), paid the Initial Deposit on behalf of CPPT Darien. During the feasibility period, which expired on October 2, 2012, CPPT Darien had the right to terminate the Agreement for any reason, in which case the Sponsor would have been entitled to a refund of the Initial Deposit from SHR1.
On October 4, 2012, the Sponsor, on behalf of CPPT Darien, paid an additional earnest money deposit of $720,000 for a total deposit of $1,440,000, which will be applied towards the purchase price at the date of closing. The purchase of the Darien Property is expected to close on October 30, 2012, unless another date is mutually agreed to by the parties.
If CPPT Darien should fail to perform on its obligations under the Agreement, SHR1 would be entitled, as its sole remedy, to receive both deposits as liquidated damages. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties.
