Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase Agreement
Dual escrow
On October 16, 2024, Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “LTI Purchase Agreement”) with LTI8000 LLC (the “Property Owner”), an unaffiliated third party. Under the terms of the LTI Purchase Agreement, the Property Owner agreed to sell its property located at 1607 Pine Street, Prescott, Wisconsin (the “Prescott Premises”) to the Issuer, for a total purchase price of $2.1 million plus closing costs. Edgebuilder Inc. (“Edgebuilder”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer currently leases the Prescott Premises from the Property Owner.
On October 18, 2024, the Issuer entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “DWG Purchase Agreement”) with DWG Capital Partners, LLC (“DWG”), an unaffiliated third party, pursuant to which the parties agreed to consummate a sale and leaseback transaction. Under the terms of the DWG Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell the Prescott Premises to DWG, for a total purchase price of $2.6 million. The net proceeds to be received by the Issuer from the DWG Purchase Agreement will be reduced by transaction commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the sale.
The LTI Purchase Agreement and DWG Purchase Agreement (collectively, “Prescott Purchase Agreements”) are to close contemporaneously, facilitated by a double escrow agreement.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the DWG Purchase Agreement, the Issuer, or its affiliate, will enter into a commercial single-tenant triple net lease (the “Lease Agreement”) with DWG, or its affiliate (collectively the “Buyer”), pursuant to which Edgebuilder will lease back from the Buyer the Prescott Premises for a term commencing upon the execution of the Lease Agreement and ending on the 20th anniversary thereof, unless earlier terminated or extended for two renewal periods for an additional 10 years each in accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, Edgebuilder will also be responsible for all monthly expenses related to the leased facilities, including insurance premiums, taxes and other expenses, such as utilities. The Issuer will guarantee the obligations of Edgebuilder under the Lease Agreement.
The Issuer anticipates that the closing of the Prescott Purchase Agreements, including the execution of the Lease Agreement will occur in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions and contingencies for transactions of this type. Such contingencies include satisfactory title and insurance commitment, satisfactory survey review, environmental condition review, the Buyer’s ability to obtain appropriate financing, and satisfaction of other due diligence items as set forth in the Prescott Purchase Agreements. There will be no disruption of the Seller’s operations as a result of the Prescott Purchase Agreements and Lease Agreement, as the Issuer will continue to operate a factory at the Prescott Premises pursuant to the Lease Agreement.
The foregoing summaries of the LTI Purchase Agreement and DWG Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference.
