Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 15, 2014, Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) reinstated the purchase and sale agreement it had previously entered into (as amended, the “South Bend Agreement”) with unrelated third parties to purchase six (6) industrial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $26,700,000. The properties consist of an aggregate of approximately 667,000 rentable square feet and are located in South Bend, Indiana. The acquisition is expected to close on or before February 10, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that the pending acquisition will be consummated on the terms described herein, or at all. The earnest money deposit under the South Bend Agreement is $250,000. The deposit becomes non-refundable on January 15, 2015 unless the closing does not occur as a result of the sellers' failure to satisfy certain conditions under the agreement. The South Bend Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. During the period of nine (9) months from the date of recordation of the deed, the sellers have agreed to indemnify the Company for any breaches of its representations, warranties and covenants under the agreement.
A copy of the South Bend Agreement is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary description of the South Bend Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the South Bend Agreement.
