DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT:CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the execution of a definitive agreement for the sale of a portfolio of 14 core income properties, along with the completion of the disposition of certain investment securities.
On March 28, 2016 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of a portfolio of 14 single-tenant income properties (the “Portfolio Sale”). The properties include nine properties leased to a subsidiary of Bank of America, located primarily in Orange County and also in Los Angeles County, California; two properties leased to a subsidiary of Walgreens, located in Boulder, Colorado and Palm Bay, Florida; a property leased to a subsidiary of CVS located in Tallahassee, Florida; a ground lease for a property leased to a subsidiary of Chase Bank located in Chicago, Illinois; and a ground lease for a property leased to Buffalo Wild Wings in Phoenix, Arizona. The sales price for the Portfolio Sale is approximately $51.6 million. The Portfolio Sale contemplates that the sales price includes the buyer’s assumption of the existing $23.1 million mortgage loan secured by the aforementioned properties. The Portfolio Sale, if completed, would result in an estimated gain of approximately $11.4 million, or approximately $1.22 per share, after tax. The Portfolio Sale is anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2016. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this sale as part of a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. The closing of the Portfolio Sale is subject to customary closing conditions.
In an unrelated matter, as of March 28, 2016, the Company completed the disposition of its remaining position in investment securities, including both common stock, as well as debt securities, of a publicly traded real estate company, with a total basis of approximately $6.8 million resulting in net proceeds of approximately $6.3 million. The Company expects to utilize the net proceeds to pay down its credit facility.
