News Release

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the acquisition of an approximately 18,120 square foot retail building in downtown Sarasota, Florida (the “Property”) for $4.1 million at a 7.1% cap rate. The Property is situated on approximately 1.20 acres and is 100% leased to an affiliate of Staples, Inc. under a triple-net lease with a remaining term of approximately five years. The Property is located along Fruitville Road, a major artery in Sarasota, and was built in 2012 as a build-to-suit for Staples. The property sits less than a mile from the Company’s multi-tenant property, The Shoppes at Sarasota Row, which includes a Whole Foods Market.

John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We’re pleased with our first acquisition in 2017, adding to our holdings in the Sarasota market with a solid urban infill location and a new tenant to the portfolio.”

In a separate transaction, on January 24, 2017, the Company acquired the land, previously leased by the Company from the City of Daytona Beach, Florida (the “City”), which comprises the golf courses at LPGA International Golf Club for approximately $1.5 million (the “Golf Course Land Purchase”). As a part of the Golf Course Land Purchase, the Company donated to the City three land parcels totaling approximately 14.3 acres located on the west side of Interstate 95 that are adjacent to the City’s Municipal Stadium. The Company had a cost basis of $0 in the donated land. Other terms of the Golf Course Land Purchase included the following:

• The Company is obligated to pay the City an annual surcharge of $1 per golf round played each year (the “Per-Round Surcharge”) with an annual minimum Per-Round Surcharge of $70,000 and a maximum aggregate amount of the Per-Round Surcharges paid equal to $700,000; and
• Within one year following the date of the closing of the Golf Course Land Purchase, unless extended due to weather related delays outside the Company’s control, the Company is obligated to renovate the greens on the Jones Course.

In conjunction with the Golf Course Land Purchase, the lease between the Company and the City was terminated. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s accrued liability related to the straight-line rent on the lease between the Company and the City was approximately $2.2 million. Effective as of the closing date, the accrued liability will be eliminated as there is no remaining commitment related to the lease. As a result of eliminating the accrued liability, the Company will recognize approximately $0.40 per share in non-cash earnings in the first quarter of 2017.
