The information reported in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On November 12, 2013, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carter/Validus Operating Partnership, LP, its operating partnership, entered into an agreement with Carter Validus Properties, LLC (the “Assignor”), an affiliated entity of the Company, to assume all of the Assignor’s right, title and interest in a Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with BellSouth Telecommunications, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company d/b/a AT&T Tennessee (the “Seller”), which is not affiliated with the Company, its advisor or affiliates, for the purchase of 100% of the Seller’s interest in a 347,515 square foot data center (the “AT&T Tennessee Data Center”), located on approximately forty-five acres of land in the Nashville, Tennessee metropolitan area, for a purchase price of $109,220,000, plus closing costs. The acquisition was funded by net proceeds from the Company’s ongoing initial public offering.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid an acquisition fee of $2,184,400, or 2% of the purchase price, to its advisor, Carter/Validus Advisors, LLC. The Company believes the AT&T Tennessee Data Center is adequately insured.
The AT&T Tennessee Data Center was constructed in 1975 with significant additions from 1980 to 1982 to expand the building to its current size. On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into a lease with AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T Services”). The lease is guaranteed by another wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T, Inc., AT&T Teleholdings, Inc. The tenant has deposited $1.7 million of restricted cash in the Company’s controlled escrow reserve account for future capital improvements and renovations. The Company will release the escrow funds to the tenant upon completion of such capital improvements.
The following table shows the current effective annual rental income, lease expiration and renewal options for the sole tenant of the AT&T Tennessee Data Center:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Base Rent | | | | |
| | Square | | Current Annual | | per Square | | Lease Term | | Renewal |
Tenant(2) | | Feet | | Base Rent(1) | | Foot | | Beginning | | Ending | | Options |
AT&T Services(3) | | 347,515 | | $ 7,645,330 | | $ 122.00 | | 11/12/13 | | 10/31/23 | | 3/10 yr |
| (1) | Rent increases annually by 2% of the then current annual base rent. |
| (2) | The tenant entered into a net lease pursuant to which the tenant is required to pay all operating expenses and capital expenditures of the building. |
| (3) | The tenant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T, Inc. (“AT&T”). AT&T has a Standard & Poor credit rating of A-. |
While the acquisition of the AT&T Tennessee Data Center is individually insignificant for purposes of the reporting requirements of Form 8-K, the property is related to the Company’s prior acquisition of the AT&T Wisconsin Data Center, and the two properties are significant in the aggregate.
On November 15, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining noncontrolling interests in the Philadelphia Data Center for a total cost of $18,750,000. As a result, the Philadelphia Data Center is a wholly-owned property of the Company.
