DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: PINE) (the “Company”) announced today it has acquired a diversified portfolio of nine high-quality retail net lease properties, and is under agreement to acquire a tenth property (together, the “Portfolio”) for a total combined purchase price of $14.8 million.
The Portfolio consists of ten properties in eight states net leased to leading operators in e-commerce resistant and necessity-based retail industries, including the auto parts, auto service, quick service restaurant and dollar store sectors. Nearly 65% of the annualized base rent comes from properties leased to, or with leases guaranteed by investment grade-rated entities, and the properties operate under brands that include Circle K, Burger King, Dollar Tree, Schlotzsky’s, Advanced Auto Parts, Grease Monkey, Hardee’s, O’Reilly Auto Parts and Firestone Complete Auto Care.
The Company funded the acquisition of the nine acquired properties through the issuance of 424,951 operating partnership units (“OP Units”) at an $18.85 per OP Unit value, totaling $8.0 million. The OP Unit value was based on the Company’s trailing ten day average closing share price on the day of closing. The balance of the purchase price for the nine acquired properties was partly satisfied through the assumption of $1.6 million in mortgage liabilities, which the Company intends to repay with available cash, and the remaining $4.2 million was funded with available cash.
The Company anticipates it will acquire the tenth property in the next 30 days through the issuance of 54,689 OP Units at an $18.85 per OP Unit value, totaling $1.0 million.
“We are excited about the opportunity to acquire this high-quality portfolio and complete our first OP Unit transaction,” said John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alpine Income Property Trust. “This is a strong portfolio that provides excellent tenant, sector and geographic diversity to our already high-quality net lease portfolio and we appreciate US Restaurant Properties Inc.’s desire to make this strategic investment in PINE.”
The acquisition of the tenth property is subject to customary closing requirements and conditions. As a result, the Company can give no assurance that the acquisition of the tenth property will be completed within a specific time period, or at all.
