Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 6, 2011, Trail Creek Apartments, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. ("PAC-OP"), entered into a Reinstatement and Second Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Oxford Trail JV, LLC to acquire a fee simple interest in a 204 unit apartment community on approximately 16.92 acres in Hampton, Virginia (the "Oxford Trail Apartments") for a purchase price of $23.5 million, exclusive of acquisition-related and financing-related transaction costs. The purchase price was determined in an open-market bidding process. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is the general partner of, and owner of a 99.99% interest in, PAC-OP. Williams Realty Fund I, LLC, a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, is an approximately 10% owner of Oxford Trail JV, LLC. There are currently seven other apartment communities in the area we believe are competitive with Oxford Trail Apartments, five of which are located within two to three miles of Oxford Trail Apartments. All of the leased space at Oxford Trail Apartments consists of residential leases ranging from an initial term of three months to one year. Oxford Trail Apartments was 97.3% leased at December 2010 and had an average annual rental rate per unit of $12,528 at December 2010. We do not currently plan to make any capital improvements to the property.
All the leased space is residential with leases ranging from an initial term of three months to one year. The average historical occupancy rate (determined by the total number of units actually occupied at the specified point in time indicated) for the last five years is as follows:
|
At December 31, 2010
|
97.3%
|
|
At December 31, 2009
|
94.8%
|
|
At December 31, 2008
|
92.1%
|
|
At December 31, 2007
|
69.3%
|
|
At December 31, 2006
|
7.2%
|
No tenants occupy 10% or more of Oxford Trail Apartments.
The average historical effective net annual rental rate per unit (including any tenant concessions and abatements) at the property is as follows:
|
Year ending December 31, 2010
|
$12,528
|
|
Year ending December 31, 2009
|
$12,336
|
|
Year ending December 31, 2008
|
$12,360
|
|
Year ending December 31, 2007
|
$11,808
|
|
Year ending December 31, 2006
|
$12,180

Property taxes paid on Oxford Trail Apartments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were $240,893. Oxford Trail Apartments was subject to a tax rate of 1.04% of its assessed value.
We expect that the initial basis in the property for federal income tax purposes will be equal to the purchase price. We plan to depreciate the property for federal income tax purposes on a straight-line basis using an estimated useful life of 27.5 years.
The material terms of the Purchase Agreement provide for: (i) an initial deposit of $1,000,000, which became non-refundable on April 11, 2011; (ii) a due diligence period that expired on April 11, 2011; and (iii) a closing date to occur on April 29, 2011, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The Purchase Agreement also contains additional covenants, representations and warranties that are customary of real estate purchase and sale agreements. Therefore, the Company can give no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.
The Company expects to fund the acquisition with proceeds from its initial public offering and concurrent private placement transaction and from planned debt financing. In connection with the acquisition, Trail Creek Apartments, LLC entered into a rate lock agreement for a non-recourse first mortgage loan (the "Loan") on the property from Freddie Mac at approximately 65% of the total purchase price of the property, or approximately $15.3 million. In connection with the rate lock agreement, Trail Creek Apartments, LLC paid a fee equal to 2% of the anticipated proceeds of the Loan, or approximately $305,500, which payment will be reimbursed at the closing of the Loan. The Loan will have a 30-year amortization period, mature in seven years, and will bear interest on a floating rate with a spread of 2.80% per annum over 30-day LIBOR. The Loan will require monthly installments of interest only through the first three years and monthly installments of principal and interest throughout the remainder of the stated term. The Loan will only be secured by Oxford Trail Apartments and there will be no guaranties by the Company or PAC-OP. The Loan will mature in May 2018, at which time the balance of approximately $14.3 million will be due on the Loan, assuming no prior principal prepayment on the Loan.
Additional information regarding the proposed acquisition, Oxford Trail Apartments, is set forth in Exhibit 99 to this current report on Form 8-K.
