SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Acquisition Activity
On October 2, 2017, we added onto one of our existing farms by acquiring an adjacent, 1,280-acre farm in Baca County, Colorado ("JJ Road"), for $900,000. At closing, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with the seller for a 4-year, triple-net lease that includes one, 5-year extension option and provides for minimum annualized, straight-line rents of approximately $52,000. We will account for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 360.
Financing Activity
On October 13, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of JJ Road, we closed on a term loan from Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, for $540,000. The loan is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2022, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.59% per annum throughout its term.
Related-Party Activity
On October 17, 2017, our TRS entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Agricultural Lease (the "Assigned TRS Lease") with the previously-existing tenant on one of our farms located in Ventura County, California. The Assigned TRS Lease was then amended to shorten the lease term by two years (the new expiration date is July 31, 2018) and to remove any tenant renewal options. All other terms of the lease remained unchanged, including the rental amounts. In addition, in connection with the initial operations on the farm, on October 17, 2017, our TRS issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the Company that is scheduled to mature on July 31, 2018, and will bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum.
As a result of this transaction, the amount of rent and interest our TRS pays to us (as the parent-landlord) will not be qualifying income for purposes of certain of our REIT tests; however, we do not expect such amounts to be at a level where we would be at risk of not qualifying as a REIT. In addition, any taxable income generated by our TRS (whose operations are consolidated within our financial statements) will be subject to regular corporate income taxes, which we will account for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes." At this time, we are unable to estimate the amount of taxable income, if any, that will be generated by our TRS.
Equity Activity
Redemption of OP Units
On October 6, 2017, 121,875 OP Units were tendered for redemption, and, on October 13, 2017, we issued 121,875 shares of common stock in exchange for 121,875 OP Units.
ATM Program
Subsequent to September 30, 2017, through the date of this filing, we sold 31,038 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $13.39 per share under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $416,000 and net proceeds of approximately $409,000.
Distributions
On October 10, 2017, our Board of Directors declared the following monthly cash distributions to common stockholders and holders of our Term Preferred Stock:
The same amounts paid to common stockholders will be paid as distributions on each OP Unit held by non-controlling limited partners of the Operating Partnership as of the above record dates.
