Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 1, 2022, (the “Closing Date”), CMFT Real Estate Securities I, LLC (the “Seller”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust (the “Company”), entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Buyer”), in which the Buyer and Seller may agree to transfer securities or other assets (“Securities”) against the transfer of funds by the Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by the Buyer to transfer to Seller such Securities at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by the Seller.
Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the initial purchase price for an asset is the price at which Securities are transferred by Seller to Buyer (the “Purchase Price”) and thereafter, except where Buyer and Seller agree otherwise, such price increased by the amount of any cash transferred as a margin deficit or margin excess. The repurchase price of a purchased asset is equal to the sum of the Purchase Price and a pricing rate designated by the Buyer in its sole discretion (“Price Differential”) as of the date of such determination.
The foregoing summary of the Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Repurchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
| | | | | |
Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
As previously reported, on December 20, 2021, certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller”) of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “CMFT”) entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, as amended (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), with American Finance Trust, Inc. (now known as The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc.) (NASDAQ: RTL) (“RTL”), American Finance Operating Partnership, L.P. (now known as The Necessity Retail REIT Operating Partnership, L.P.) (“RTL OP”), and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser is not affiliated with the Seller. Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell to the Purchaser 79 shopping centers and two single-tenant properties encompassing approximately 9.5 million gross rentable square feet of commercial space across 27 states for total consideration of $1.32 billion (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price includes the Purchaser’s option to seek the assumption of certain existing debt, and Purchaser’s issuance of up to $53.4 million in value of RTL’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“RTL Common Stock”), or Class A units in RTL OP, subject to certain limits described more fully in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The sale of 80 properties under contract for sale pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement closed in tranches during the first and second quarters of 2022 for total consideration of $1.28 billion, which consisted of $1.22 billion in cash proceeds (inclusive of $23.5 million in earnout proceeds) and $53.4 million of RTL Common Stock, which shares are restricted and subject to certain registration rights as described in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The remaining property pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement is expected to close during the second quarter of 2022.
The Company previously reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 15, 2022, that it completed the disposition of 44 properties on February 11, 2022 (the “First Closing Properties”).
After the total repayment and assumptions of approximately $843.2 million of debt and $10.9 million of transaction costs, the Company will redeploy approximately $437.1 million of net sale proceeds into investments in senior secured loans and credit leases, consistent with its core business strategy as a credit-focused real estate investment trust.

Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03 in its entirety.
| | | | | |
Item 9.01 | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
Explanatory Note
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company is providing the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 related to the sale of 36 properties subsequent to February 11, 2022, along with the First Closing Properties and the expected sale of one remaining property.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2022 is presented as if the closing of all 81 properties (the “Closing”) had occurred on March 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 are presented as if the Closing had occurred on January 1, 2021.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the pro forma financial position and results of operations of the Company as of and for the periods indicated; however, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred nor do they purport to represent the financial position or results of operations for future periods. The retrospectively adjusted financial position and results of operations for the indicated periods when reported in the post-sale periodic reports may differ from the pro forma financial statements presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes accompanying the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations do not include the impact of any strategies that management may have considered in order to efficiently manage the Company's operations had the sale occurred on January 1, 2021. Pro forma adjustments have not been made in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company for the estimated gain on disposition resulting from the sale, for any reimbursements or payments resulting from the sale, or for the use of proceeds resulting from the sale.
