Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Fox Strategic Housing Income Partners, a California limited partnership (the “Registrant”), owns The Views at Vinings Mountain, a 180-unit apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia. On September 11, 2008, the Registrant refinanced the mortgage debt encumbering The Views at Vinings Mountain. The refinancing replaced the existing mortgage debt, which at the time of refinancing had a principal balance of approximately $4,754,000, with a new mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13,800,000. The new mortgage loan bears interest at 5.77% per annum and requires monthly payments of interest only of approximately $66,000 beginning on November 1, 2008 through October 1, 2009. Beginning on November 1, 2009, the new mortgage loan will require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $81,000, through the September 11, 2013 maturity date. The new mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $13,045,000 due at maturity. On September 11, 2010, if the Registrant does not meet a prescribed debt service coverage ratio, the Registrant will be required to make an additional payment of principal to reduce the outstanding principal balance to the prescribed debt service coverage ratio. The Registrant may prepay the mortgage loan at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender, subject to a prepayment penalty.
In accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, payment of the loan may be accelerated at the option of the lender if an Event of Default, as defined in the loan agreement, occurs. Events of default include nonpayment of monthly principal and interest by the due date and nonpayment of amounts outstanding on or before the maturity date.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Promissory Note and Deed of Secure Debt, Security Agreement and Assignment of Leases and Rents, copies of which are filed as exhibits 10.7 and 10.8 to this report.
In accordance with the Registrant’s partnership agreement, the Registrant’s managing general partner has determined that the net proceeds will be used to repay outstanding loans and payables to an affiliate of the Registrant’s managing general partner.
