Item 8.01       Other Events.

 

Roberts Realty Investors, Inc., the registrant, conducts its business through Roberts Properties Residential, L.P.  On February 28, 2012, Roberts Properties Residential, L.P. renewed and extended its $3,000,000 Bradley Park land loan with Bank of North Georgia, a division of Synovus Bank, to October 31, 2013.  The loan had previously been scheduled to mature on April 30, 2012.  The loan is secured by the Bradley Park property, which is located in Cumming, Georgia and is zoned for 154 multifamily units.  The renewed loan removes the interest rate floor of 4.50%, and the new interest rate is 350 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR.  Under that formula, the effective interest rate would be 3.74% per annum.  The loan documents contain customary representations, covenants and default provisions, and the loan continues to be guaranteed by Roberts Realty Investors, Inc.
