Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 18, 2015, Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP (the “Partnership”) acquired LD Acquisition Company 11 LLC, an entity owning 193 tenant sites and related real property interests that consist of wireless communication, outdoor advertising and renewable power generation sites, from Landmark Dividend Growth Fund — E LLC (“Fund E”), an affiliate of Landmark Dividend LLC (“Landmark”), in exchange for (i) 1,998,852 common units (“Common Units) representing limited partner interests in the Partnership; and (ii) cash consideration of approximately $34.9 million, of which approximately $29.2 million was used to repay Fund E’s indebtedness (the “Transaction”).  The cash consideration for the Transaction was funded with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The portfolio of tenant sites has a 100% occupancy rate and an average remaining real property interest and lease term of approximately 77 years and 20 years (including remaining renewal options), respectively.

 

The terms of the Transaction, which are set forth in a Membership Interest Contribution Agreement, dated August 18, 2015, by and among Fund E, the Partnership and Landmark (the “Contribution Agreement”), were unanimously approved by the board of directors (the “Board”) of Landmark Infrastructure Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), and the conflicts committee of the Board (the “Conflicts Committee”), which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Conflicts Committee retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the Transaction.

 

The Contribution Agreement generally contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Partnership and Fund E. Fund E and Landmark, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and the Partnership, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other representatives against certain liabilities and losses resulting from any breach of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Contribution Agreement, subject to certain limitations and survival periods. The indemnity obligations of Fund E and Landmark generally terminate on August 18, 2016; provided, however that certain of these indemnity obligations do not terminate until 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations.

 

Fund E and the Partnership are affiliates of Landmark. As a result, certain individuals, including officers of Landmark and officers and directors of the General Partner, serve as officers and/or directors of one or more of such entities. Landmark, after giving effect to the issuance of Common Units in the Transaction, owns an approximate 26% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Landmark also owns a 100% interest in our General Partner, which owns the non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights.

 

The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement and the Transaction is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 in its entirety by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On August 18, 2015, the Partnership issued 1,998,852 Common Units to Fund E as partial consideration for the Transaction as described above.  The Common Units had an aggregate value at the time of closing of approximately $31.5 million, based on the volume weighted daily average price of the Partnership’s common units for the five day trading period ending two trading days prior to the close of the Transaction.  The Common Units were issued in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.  The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
