Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Contribution Agreement
On February 6, 2025, Generation Income Properties, L.P., the operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Contribution and Subscription Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with (i) LMB Lewiston, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV One”), LMB Ft. Kent, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV Two”) and LMB Auburn Hills I, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV Three”; and together with SPV One and SPV Two, the “SPVs”); (ii) Lloyd M. Bernstein, as the sole member of each of the SPVs (the “Contributor”); and (iii) Lloyd M. Bernstein, as representative of the SPVs and the Contributor, for the acquisition by the Operating Partnership through certain of its subsidiaries (the “Affiliated Entities”) of Contributor’s right title and interest in 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of the SPVs (the “SPV Interests”). Pursuant to the acquisition of the SPV Interests, the Operating Partnership, through the Affiliated Entities, will acquire a portfolio of three retail properties (the “Contributed Properties”), each of which is owned directly by an SPV.
The Contribution Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each SPV and the Contributor pertaining to the SPVs and the Contributor, the SPV Interests, and the Contributed Properties. The Operating Partnership also made standard and customary representations and warranties to the Contributor.
.
In exchange for Contributor’s contribution of the SPV Interests, the Operating Partnership issued to Contributor approximately $4.2 million of its Series B-2 preferred units of limited partnership interests (the “OP Units”), consisting of approximately 698,465 OP Units, based on a valuation of $6.00 per OP Unit. The Operating Partnership acquired the SPV Interests, subject to existing indebtedness on the Contributed Properties loaned by Camden National Bank, a national banking association, and Valley National Bank, a national banking association in an aggregate principal amount of $7,023,895.00 (the “Existing Debt”).
The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Contribution Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Tax Protection Agreement
The contribution of the SPV Interests in exchange for OP Units contemplated by the Contribution Agreement is intended to be treated, in whole or in part, for federal income tax purposes as tax-deferred contributions to the Operating Partnership. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, on February 6, 2025, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a Tax Protection Agreement with the SPVs and the Contributor.
The Tax Protection Agreement is intended to protect the Contributor against certain federal, state and local income tax liabilities attributable to the “built-in” gain that existed with respect to the Contributed Properties as of the contribution date. Accordingly, the Tax Protection Agreement will obligate the Operating Partnership, under certain circumstances, to indemnify the Contributor with respect to such tax liabilities upon a disposition of any Contributed Property or upon the failure of the Operating Partnership to maintain a certain minimum level of debt secured by the Contributed Properties. For purposes of the indemnification obligation, the Contributor’s tax liabilities are reduced by the net present value of the reasonably estimated tax liabilities that would be due if the Operating Partnership, upon the termination of the tax protection period, sold the Contributed Properties or repaid the debt required to be maintained. The obligation to indemnify the Contributor will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the closing of the Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the Contributed Properties, provided that such obligation terminates earlier on the date on which the Contributor ceases to own, in the aggregate, 60% or more of the OP Units issued in connection with this transaction or upon a final determination by tax authorities that no part of the contribution transaction qualified as a tax-deferred contribution.
The foregoing description of the Tax Protection Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Tax Protection Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
LPA Amendment
On February 6, 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “LPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, issued partnership interests to the Contributor in the form of OP Units. The LPA Amendment sets forth the designations, rights, powers, preferences and duties and other terms of the newly designated class of OP Units. The OP Units were issued in exchange for the SPV Interests pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.
If and when determined by the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, in its sole discretion, holders of the OP Units will be paid cumulative cash distributions in the amount of $0.33 per OP Unit per year (as equitably adjusted in the Company’s sole discretion for any split, reverse split, dividend or similar recapitalization event), subject to prior payment of any preferred return on senior preferred units of the Operating Partnership. The Contributor will have the right after two years to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units for shares of the Company’s common stock or cash, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company, calculated as follows: (i) a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of OP Units being redeemed multiplied by 1.00 (the “REIT Shares Amount”) or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the value of the REIT Shares Amount, plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. The Contributor will also have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units after five years for cash in an amount equal to $4.00 per OP Unit, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon.
The foregoing description of the LPA Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the LPA Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
