Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 8, 2017, Hines Global REIT II, Inc. (“Hines Global II”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary of its operating partnership, entered into a contract with Ziggurat Montrose Ireland (the “Seller”), to acquire Montrose Student Residences (“Montrose”), a Class-A student housing asset located in Dublin, Ireland. The Seller is not affiliated with Hines Global II or its affiliates.
Montrose, originally developed as a hotel in 1964, was completely renovated between 2013 and 2015 and converted into student housing. Montrose consists of 205 beds and is 100% leased.
The contract purchase price for Montrose is €37.68 million (approximately $40.3 million assuming a rate of $1.07 per EUR as of the contract date), exclusive of transaction costs and working capital reserves. Hines Global II expects to fund the acquisition using proceeds from its public offering, borrowings from its credit facility with Hines Interests Limited Partnership and a secured mortgage from a third party. Hines Global II funded a €1.9 million (approximately $2.0 million assuming a rate of $1.08 per EUR as of the transaction date) earnest money deposit on February 8, 2017, which may not be refunded if it does not close on this acquisition. Hines Global II expects the closing of this acquisition to occur on or about March 22, 2017, subject to a number of closing conditions. There is no guarantee that this acquisition will be consummated nor that third-party financing will be obtained.
Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to the acquisition and funding sources for the same described herein, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, tenant performance, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks associated with Hines Global II’s ability to obtain third-party financing and to consummate the acquisition and other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of Hines Global II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as updated by its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
