Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 26, 2021, a subsidiary of Strategic Student & Senior Housing Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) executed an agreement of purchase and sale (the “Tallahassee Sale Agreement”) with 700 West Virginia Street (FL) Owner LLC, an affiliate of the Blackstone Group, Inc. (the “Buyer”) for the sale of the Registrant’s student housing property located in Tallahassee, Florida (the “Tallahassee Property”). The information in this Item 1.01 description is qualified in its entirety by the full Tallahassee Sale Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
The sale price for the Tallahassee Property is approximately $50 million, less closing costs. The Buyer has made an earnest money deposit of $1.5 million in connection with the execution of the Tallahassee Sale Agreement and on December 1, 2021, provided a notice to proceed with the sale after completing its due diligence. The existing mortgage loan encumbering the Tallahassee Property will be prepaid at closing with the Buyer paying the yield maintenance fees. The current outside closing date is during the first quarter of 2022. The Tallahassee Sale Agreement is subject to various contingencies and the Registrant cannot provide any assurance whether or when this transaction will occur.
The Tallahassee Property was purchased by the Registrant in the third quarter of 2017 for a purchase price of $47.5 million, excluding acquisition costs. The Registrant will use a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Tallahassee Property to pay down the KeyBank Bridge Loan and use the remainder of the proceeds for other corporate purposes. Under the terms of the Sixth Amendment to the KeyBank Bridge Loan, if the Buyer’s earnest money deposit is forfeited upon termination of the Tallahassee Sale Agreement, the deposit, less the fees and expenses incurred by the Registrant as a result of the termination, must be applied to pay down the KeyBank Bridge Loan.
Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 1, 2021, the Registrant issued a letter to its stockholders regarding certain operational and financial developments that occurred during the third quarter of 2021. A copy of the letter to stockholders is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein is deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
