Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on August 31, 2018, Strategic Student & Senior Housing Trust, Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), through a special purpose entity wholly owned by our operating partnership (the “Borrower”), closed on the purchase of an existing 286-unit senior housing community, known as Courtyard at Mt. Tabor, located in Portland, Oregon, which contains land intended to be developed into an additional 23 units of memory care (the “Memory Care Expansion”). The acquisition was funded, in part, by the proceeds of a mortgage loan from KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) as a Freddie Mac Multifamily Approved Seller/Servicer, which is evidenced by a multifamily note (the “Freddie Mac Portland Note”).
Before commencing construction on the Memory Care Expansion, we were required to obtain approval from KeyBank, which we subsequently received on October 9, 2018. In connection with this approval, we executed a guaranty of completion for the benefit of KeyBank and any subsequent holder of the Freddie Mac Portland Note (the “Guaranty of Completion”). Such Guaranty of Completion is an absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty for the benefit of such noteholder, which (i) upon Borrower’s failure, obligates us to complete the construction of the Memory Care Expansion and (ii) upon our failure, allows the noteholder to complete the construction of the Memory Care Expansion, in each case at our expense.
The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Guaranty of Completion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Guaranty of Completion, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
