Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 1, 2012, G REIT Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), as seller, and The American Recovery Property Trust, Inc. (“ARPT”), as purchaser, entered into an Agreement of Sale (the “Agreement”) with respect to certain real property located 6000-61000 Western Place, Fort Worth, Texas and commonly known as Western Place I & II (“Western Place”) and certain personal property associated therewith and relating thereto. Western Place is the larger of the Trust’s two remaining consolidated properties and accounted for approximately 87.5% of gross leasable area and 84.9% of annual rents received in fiscal 2011.

The Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2012, provides for the sale by the Trust of its undivided 78.5% tenant-in-common (“TIC”) interest in Western Place, together with certain additional Property (as that terms is defined in the Agreement) and operating reserves, to ARPT, for $20,000,000 in cash plus non-voting common stock of ARPT (the “ARPT Shares”). The cash portion of the consideration is subject to adjustment for prorations and other adjustments as provided in the Agreement. The number of ARPT Shares issuable to the Trust shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $12,000,000, as adjusted as provided in the Agreement, by (y) $10.00. The transaction will be conducted as an exempt offering under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Pursuant to a Securities Matters Agreement (the “Securities Matters Agreement”) to be entered into by the parties at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), the ARPT Shares shall remain non-voting until such time, if any, that the ARPT Shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and such registration statement is declared effective by the Commission; however, ARPT is under no obligation to register the ARPT Shares. The ARPT Shares are not transferable by the Trust unless (i) there is in effect a registration statement covering the distribution of the ARPT Shares or (ii) the ARPT Shares can be transferred under applicable securities law and the Trust has delivered to ARPT an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to ARPT, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.

The Trust has the right to put (the “Put Right”) all, but not less than all, of the ARPT Shares to ARPT on the date that is one day prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Securities Matters Agreement) for $12,000,000, provided (i) as of the Put Date (as defined in the Securities Matters Agreement) no registration statement has been filed under the Securities Act covering the ARPT Shares or, as of the Put Date, such registration statement is no longer in effect; (ii) the Trust shall have provided written notice to ARPT on or before the day that is sixty (60) days prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Put Notice Date”) of its intention to exercise its Put Right without condition or qualification; and (iii) the Trust is able to represent and warrant to ARPT, as of the Put Date, that it holds good and marketable title to the Shares and is able to transfer the Shares free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.

 

2


If no registration statement has been filed under the Securities Act covering the ARPT Shares or such registration statement is no longer in effect and the Trust has not otherwise exercised its Put Right, ARPT shall have the right to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the ARPT Shares (i) on any date prior to and including the second anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) on any date on or after September 30, 2014 and prior to and including December 31, 2014, for $12,000,000, less any cost to remove or extinguish any lien or encumbrance which may affect the ARPT Shares at the time of such repurchase.

Among the conditions to Closing under the Agreement, ARPT shall also have entered into (i) purchase agreements with the minority owners of the remaining 21.5% TIC interests in Western Place and (ii) a purchase agreement with NNN Realty Investors, LLC (“NNRI”), the Trust’s advisor, with respect to another property not owned by the Trust. ARPT is also assuming a loan made by the Trust to the minority owners of TIC interests in Western Place concurrently with the acquisition of the minority owners’ interests.

The Agreement contains standard representations, warranties, covenants and conditions for an agreement of this nature, and contains additional provisions typical of such a transaction, including without limitation the use of an escrow agent, provisions for title insurance, allocation of closing expenses and mutual releases. The risk of loss on Western Place prior to the Closing remains on the Trust. Disputes under the Agreement shall be settled by arbitration and/or mediation.

The Closing is anticipated to occur on or about May 15, 2012, but may be extended by up to 60 days.

The Closing is not subject to approval by the holders of units of beneficial interest of the Trust. The sale and purchase of Western Place is a related party transaction. Todd A. Mikles, the President of ARPT, is also Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the controlling shareholder of Sovereign Capital Management Group, Inc. (“Sovereign”). Sovereign and Infinity Urban Century (“IUC”) control IUC-SOV, LLC (“IUC-SOV”), which is the owner of Daymark Realty Advisors Inc. (“Daymark”), the parent company of NNRI, our advisor. Additionally, it is a condition to Closing that NNRI enter into an agreement to sell to ARPT another property that is not owned by the Trust.

Prior to entering into the Agreement, the Trust obtained an independent appraisal of Western Place. Pursuant to a Summary Restricted Use Appraisal Report dated February 8, 2012, Western Place had an appraised value of $31,070,000 and the excess land appurtenant thereto had an appraised value of $480,000, for a total value of $31,550,000.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Closing with respect to the sale of Western Place by the Trust to ARPT occurred on June 15, 2012. The terms and conditions of the transaction are described in Item 1.01 hereinabove.

The Trust received $20,000,000 in cash and 1,200,000 ARPT Shares at the Closing. Certain rights with respect to, and other terms and conditions of, the ARPT Shares are described in Item 1.01 hereinabove.

As described in Item 1.01 hereinabove, the sale and purchase of Western Place is a related party transaction. Todd A. Mikles, the President of ARPT, is also Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and the controlling shareholder of Sovereign. Sovereign and IUC control IUC-SOV, which is the owner of Daymark, the parent company of NNRI, the Trust’s advisor.

The Trust determined that the fair market value of the Property was $32,000,000, based upon internal valuation and the above-mentioned appraisal. Based upon the amount of new financing available to ARPT, it was determined that consideration for the purchase would be a combination of cash and ARPT Shares. Allowing for sufficient additional cash to pay associated transaction costs and other property obligations, $20,000,000 of a new $24,000,000 loan obtained by ARPT (described in the following paragraph) was used as the cash component of the total consideration paid to the Trust. The remaining $12,000,000 of the purchase price was paid in the form of 1,200,000 ARPT Shares, valued at $10.00 per share. The per share price of ARPT Shares was established by the Board of Directors of ARPT, in consultation with its advisors, by dividing the total net equity in ARPT after the purchase of Western Place by the total number of issued and outstanding ARPT shares after the Closing.

In connection with this transaction, ARPT acquired a new loan in the principal amount of $24,000.000 from an unaffiliated third party financial institution. The loan is a five-year commercial mortgage-backed security loan, bearing an interest rate of 4.95% per annum. Of the total principal amount of the loan, $20,000,000 was paid to the Trust as cash consideration for the purchase and the remaining $4,000,000 was utilized to satisfy transaction costs, closing costs, and holdbacks required by the new lender for items such as tenant improvement obligations, reserves and taxes.

In addition, American Recovery Property Advisors, LLC (“Advisor”), the advisor to ARPT in the transaction, earned fees in the amount of $1,152,000, payable by ARPT. Advisor is an affiliate of ARPT, in that both entities are under the common control of Todd A. Mikles. ARPT is also an affiliate of the Trust, as described in Item 1.01 hereinabove.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and For the Year Ended December 31, 2011

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted as discussed in the notes below.

(A) As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

(B) Adjustments have been made for the sale of the Western Place property and, therefore, our real estate held for sale would have been decreased by the amount related to the Western Place property. Also, our cash balance would have increased by the pro forma amount of net proceeds received upon sale of $20,000,000, less the pro forma amount of property-level cash reserves surrendered, as well as the receipt of securities valued at $12,000,000. Additionally, our related party receivables would have been eliminated as a result of the forgiveness of the amounts due from the minority owners of the property. Other adjustments to our assets and liabilities have also been made to reflect this disposition.

(C) These adjustments reflect the elimination of the changes in net assets in liquidation attributable to the Western Place property, as if the disposition occurred on December 31, 2010.

(D) The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of net assets as of December 31, 2011 is presented as if the disposition of the Western Place property had occurred on December 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2011 is presented as if the disposition of the Western Place property had occurred on December 31, 2010. As such, there is a difference in the net assets in liquidation as of December 31, 2011 between these two statements.
