Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 15, 2015, Amerco Real Estate Company (“AREC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMERCO, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with 23rd and 11th Associates, L.L.C., for the sale of a portion of AREC’s real property and improvements thereon located in Manhattan, New York for $200.0 millionSuch agreement has been amended from time to time and was subject to several material regulatory contingencies. Such agreement will be filed as an exhibit to our upcoming annual report on Form 10-K. AREC believes that as of April 26, 2017, the last significant local regulatory contingency has been resolved and the closing of the sale of such property is reasonably expected to occur in August 2017.  AREC will maintain ownership of one building at the Manhattan location thus allowing U-Haul to serve the equipment rental needs of our customers in the area.  AREC’s book value of the property being sold is approximately $5 million.  The Company intends to reinvest the proceeds into its self-storage holdings via a 1031 exchange.
