Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
As previously reported by Seritage Growth Properties (the "Company") in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 8, 2025, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "PSA") as of September 2, 2025 (the "effective date") with Boulevard Step Ventures LLC (the "Buyer") for the sale of the Company’s property located in Aventura, Florida (the "Aventura Property"). The purchase price for the sale of the Aventura Property was $131.0 million less a credit for unpaid leasing costs as of the closing date for existing leases.
The transaction closed on November 25, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the PSA.
The foregoing description of the PSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PSA, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Periodic Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 25, 2025, the Company, issued a press release announcing that it made a voluntary prepayment of $130 million toward its $1.6 billion senior secured term loan facility dated July 31, 2018, among the Company, Seritage Growth Properties, L.P. and Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (as amended by amendment no. 1, dated May 5, 2020, by amendment no. 2, dated November 24, 2021, by amendment no. 3, dated June 16, 2022, and by amendment no. 4, dated November 20, 2024, the "Term Loan Agreement"). The prepayment is being made from the proceeds of recent property sales including the sale of the Company's Aventura Property.
Following the prepayment, the Company has now repaid a total of $1.53 billion since December 2021 and $70 million remains outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement. The current prepayment will reduce the Company’s total annual interest expense related to the term loan facility by approximately $9.2 million.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, is being furnished to the SEC and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
