14. Subsequent Events

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” Griffin has evaluated all events or transactions occurring after November 30, 2016, the balance sheet date, and noted that there have been no such events or transactions which would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended November 30, 2016, other than the disclosures herein.

 

On January 24, 2017, as part of its common stock repurchase program (see Notes 8 and 13), Griffin repurchased 19,173 shares of its outstanding common stock for approximately $595, resulting in approximately $1,051 remaining available for additional stock repurchases under the current repurchase program.

 

On January 20, 2017, Griffin and People’s United Bank (“PUB”) agreed to terms for a new nonrecourse mortgage on two of Griffin’s buildings in NE Tradeport. The parties agreed to a loan amount up to $12,000 with a ten year term, principal payments based on a twenty-five year amortization schedule, and interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.95%. Griffin expects to enter into a new interest rate swap agreement with PUB that would fix the rate of this new mortgage loan for its full term. There is no guarantee that this mortgage loan will be completed in accordance with its current terms, or at all. 

 

On December 23, 2016, Griffin entered into an agreement to sell approximately 67 acres of an approximately 268 acre business park master planned by Griffin that straddles the town line between Windsor and Bloomfield, Connecticut. The purchase price is approximately $10,250 before transaction costs. Completion of this transaction is contingent on a number of factors, including the buyer obtaining all necessary final permits from governmental authorities for its development plans for the site it would acquire and the buyer receiving municipal and state economic development incentives it deems adequate. Under the current terms, Griffin expects to record a material pretax gain on this transaction. There is no guarantee that this transaction will be completed under the current terms, or at all.
