GENERATION INCOME PROPERTIES, INC.
ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF PORTFOLIO WITH PENDING $7.1 MILLION UPREIT TRANSACTION
Tampa, FL – July 17, 2019 - Generation Income Properties, Inc. (OTCQB: GIPR) (“GIP” or the “Company”) announced the signing of a definitive UPREIT agreement to acquire a 35,000-square-foot, single tenant office building in Norfolk, Virginia for total consideration of $7.1 million.
GIP expects to fund the transaction with the issuance of 400,000 operating partnership units in Generation Income Properties LP (a subsidiary of GIP), priced at $5.00 per unit, for a total value of $2,000,000 plus an additional $100,000 in cash, and the assumption of approximately $5 million of existing mortgage debt. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and due diligence, as well as satisfactory assumption of the existing mortgage debt. The Company also anticipates refinancing the debt once the property is contributed to the Company.
An UPREIT allows current owners of a property to defer paying income taxes on the transfer of property to an operating partnership owned by a REIT, while providing the option to convert ownership in the partnership into shares of the REIT.
David Sobelman, President and Chief Executive Officer of GIP, noted, “We are truly honored to be held in such esteem that our UPREIT program is resonating so well with owners and partnerships. We look forward to working through this process to add this single tenant asset to our portfolio”.
