Item 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On February 15, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “N.

Central Ave., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), whereby the Company agreed to purchase that certain tract of real property identified as containing building with a physical address of 3535 North Central Avenue, Chicago, IL 60634, and more particularly described in Exhibit “A” to the N. Central Ave. PSA (the “N. Central Ave. Property”). Seller is a related party in that RMP’s sole manager and member is CWS BET Seattle, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, a company controlled and owned by Frank Kavanaugh, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. Kavanaugh is also RMP’s president. The purchase price for the N. Central Ave. Property is $2,400,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”) subject to the prorations and adjustments described in the N. Central Ave. PSA. The Purchase Price is to be paid by the Company to Seller at Closing (as that term is defined in the N. Central Ave. PSA) in a combination of (i) Operating Partnership Units in Medalist Diversified Holdings, LP, a Maryland limited partnership (the “OP Units”) valued at $5.75 per OP Unit; and (ii) cash sufficient to cover Seller’s transaction costs (such as prorated rent, commissions, title/escrow fees, transfer taxes, legals fees, etc.). The Company is required to make an earnest money deposit of $15,000.00 (“Deposit”) within 15 days of the Effective Date.

 

The N. Central Ave. PSA contains provisions, representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and indemnities that are customary and standard for the real estate industry and the sale of commercial real property. Several conditions to closing on the sale remain to be satisfied, and there can be no assurance that we will complete the transaction on the general terms described above or at all. Under certain conditions the Deposit may not be returned to the Company.

 

On February 16, 2024, MDR Hanover Square, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Outparcel PSA”), a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2, with the Company’s tenant-in-common partner, PMI Hanover SQ, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), whereby Buyer agreed to purchase Seller’s 16% tenant-in-common interest in that certain tract of real property identified as tax parcel number 8714-63-9931 and more particularly described in Exhibit “A” to the Outparcel PSA (the “Hanover Outparcel Property”). The sale price for the Hanover Outparcel Property is $98,410.94 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is due no later than seven (7) days after the closing date of the purchase of the real property located at 7230 Bell Creek Road, Mechanicsville, Virginia 23111 and bearing the Hanover County Parcel Number 8714-64-9344 pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 29, 2023, by and between Buyer, Seller and Prudent Growth Partners, LLC.

 

The Outparcel PSA contains provisions, representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that are customary and standard for the real estate industry and the sale of commercial real property.
