The total purchase price for the Property is $318.7 million, of which $223.1 million is payable at the first closing and $95.6 million is payable at the second closing. The closings are subject to due diligence, certain termination rights and customary closing conditions, including, in the case of the second closing, local governmental approval of the subdivision of a common lot. The first closing is expected to occur no later than January 21, 2018, and the second closing is expected to occur no later than October 31, 2018.
