Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 23, 2018, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired a portfolio of commercial properties in Hawaii (the "Portfolio") from Terramar Retail Centers, LLC, for total consideration of $254.1 million, including assumed debt of $62.0 million. The Portfolio consists of three grocery-anchored shopping centers: (1) Laulani Village Shopping Center located in Ewa Beach, Oahu, (2) Hokulei Village Shopping Center located in Lihue, Kauai, and (3) Pu`unene Shopping Center located in Kahului, Maui. The Portfolio adds approximately 390,000 square feet of gross leasable area to the Company’s Commercial Real Estate portfolio.
The acquisition of the Portfolio was funded through proceeds from the sale of certain of its U.S. Mainland commercial properties via tax-deferred §1031 exchanges, the assumption of a $62.0 million promissory note (“Promissory Note”), and borrowings under the Company’s revolving senior credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) at the time of closing.
The Promissory Note bears interest at 3.93 percent and requires monthly interest payments of approximately $0.2 million until May 2020 and principal and interest payments of approximately $0.3 million thereafter. The Promissory Note matures on May 1, 2024 and is secured by the Laulani Village Shopping Center. In connection with the disposition of the U.S. Mainland commercial properties referenced above, the Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $22.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and a syndicate of other financial institutions that provides for a $50 million term loan facility (“Wells Fargo Term Facility”). The Company also drew $50 million under the Wells Fargo Term Facility on February 26, 2018 and used such term loan proceeds to repay amounts that were borrowed under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of the Portfolio. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo Term Facility bear interest at a stated rate, as defined, plus a margin that is determined based on a pricing grid using the ratio of debt to total assets ratio, as defined.
