Consolidated Tomoka Reports $9.7 Million Land Sale to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.

November 12, 2015

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE MKT: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced the sale of 38.93 acres of land located on the east side of Interstate 95, just south of LPGA Boulevard, to an affiliate of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE: SKT) (“Tanger”), at a sales price of $9.7 million, or approximately $249,000 per acre. The Company believes the transaction will result in a total estimated gain of approximately of $7.7 million, with an estimated gain of $2.2 million recognized at closing and the remaining gain of approximately $5.5 million expected to be recognized as the Company completes certain infrastructure improvements (the “Infrastructure Work”) at the 230 acre Tomoka Town Center (the “Town Center”). Pursuant to the agreement with Tanger and under the existing contracts with an affiliate of Sam’s Club (“Sam’s Club Buyer”) and with North American Development Group which together represent the potential sale of the remaining acreage in the Town Center (the “Potential Town Center Sales”), the Company is responsible for completion of the Infrastructure Work. The Infrastructure Work is currently estimated to cost between $12.5 million and $16.0 million and is expected to be completed over the next ten months. In connection with the transaction with Tanger, the Company expects to receive approximately $4.5 million for the portion of the Infrastructure Work attributable to the Tanger property from the Tomoka Town Center Community Development District (the “Town Center District”), a special purpose governmental entity, based upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the Infrastructure Work and the Tanger project, and when the Company dedicates the Infrastructure Work to the Town Center District. The payment of the $4.5 million will be recognized into revenue when earned. The Company expects to receive payments, in addition to the sales proceeds from each of the Tanger and Potential Town Center Sales agreements (the “Incremental Payments”), including certain fixed annual payments over the next ten years from two of the buyers which annual amounts are or would be included in the estimated gains from the transactions. In aggregate, the majority of the Incremental Payments and the payment received from the Town Center District are expected to largely offset the cost of the Infrastructure Work.

There can be no assurances regarding the likelihood or timing of either of the Potential Town Center Sales being completed or the final terms, including the acreage subject to the sale, the sales price and other financial terms.

John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “We are pleased to complete this transaction with Tanger, particularly given the expected impact that this upscale outlet shopping center will have on the economy of Volusia County and the City of Daytona Beach.” Mr. Albright further stated, “The development of this project will activate the 230 acre Tomoka Town Center, where the balance of the acreage is currently under contract with North American Development Group and Sam’s Club.” Mr. Albright also noted, “The proceeds from the sale will be utilized in a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 continuing our strategy of converting land into income producing properties.”
