Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Purchase and Sale Agreement for
Pescadero Distribution Center
On June 4, 2018, BCI IV Pescadero DC LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pescadero Land Holdings, LLC (the “Seller”) to acquire a 100% fee interest in one industrial building totaling approximately 382,000 square feet on approximately 19.5 acres (the “
Pescadero Distribution Center
”). The
Pescadero Distribution Center
is located in the Central Valley market in California, and is 100% occupied by two customers with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of approximately 5.4 years. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the customer lease agreements are expected to be assigned to and assumed by the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary. In general, the customers will be responsible for paying directly or reimbursing the landlord for their pro rata share of the real estate taxes, insurance, and repair and maintenance costs of the property.
The total purchase price is expected to be $45,750,000, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs. The Seller is not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates. In connection with the execution of the Agreement, the Company deposited $1,375,000 into an escrow account. The Company plans to fund this acquisition using proceeds from the Company’s public offering and borrowings from the Company’s corporate line of credit.
The acquisition of the
Pescadero Distribution Center
is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to purchase the
Pescadero Distribution Center
on the terms set forth herein. The consummation of the acquisition is subject to the Company’s completion of due diligence and various closing conditions to be met by the parties. If the Company does not close on the acquisition, there are circumstances under which it may forfeit the deposit it has funded.
