MVP REIT, Inc. Announces Increase in Monthly Distribution Rate and Completion of Acquisition of MVP American Securities by Its Chief Executive Officer
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (January 25, 2013) — MVP REIT, Inc., a publicly registered, non-traded hybrid real estate investment trust, announced today that its board of directors has approved an increase in its monthly distribution rate on its common shares to an annualized distribution rate of 6.2 percent, or $0.0558 per share, assuming a purchase price of $9.00 per share. The distribution, previously 6 percent, will increase beginning with the January distribution, to be paid to stockholders of record as of Jan. 24 on Feb. 10.
MVP REIT anticipates paying future distributions monthly in arrears, with a record date on the 24th of each month and distributions paid on the 10th day of the following month (or the next business day if the 10th is not a business day).
No assurance can be given that distributions will continue to be paid at this rate. The board of directors may at any time change the distribution rate or suspend payment of distributions if it determines that such action is in the best interest of MVP REIT and its shareholders. In addition, initial distributions may be paid from offering proceeds rather than funds from operations and therefore may represent a return of capital. MVP REIT’s long term strategy is to fund the payment of monthly distributions entirely from its funds from operations.
MVP REIT further announced that its Board of Directors has decreased the purchase price on its Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) from $9.00 to $8.73 per share to take into account that no commission is paid of shares purchased under the DRIP commencing with the January distribution paid in February.
MVP REIT also announced today that Mike Shustek, its chief executive officer and the principal executive officer of its advisor, completed his acquisition of the remaining 80% of the outstanding membership interests of Ashton Garnett Securities, LLC (now doing business as MVP American Securities), effective as of January 18, 2013. Mr. Shustek acquired 20% of the outstanding membership interests in July 2012, and had an option to acquire the remaining 80%, subject to FINRA approval. Ashton Garnett Securities, LLC dba MVP American Securities is a registered broker dealer engaged by MVP REIT as a selling agent for the offering of its shares.
