Enterprise Diversified Announces the Sale of its Mt Melrose Real Estate Subsidiary

 

Richmond, VA—July 3, 2019—Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (OTCQB: SYTE) today announced that it has sold 65% of its Mt Melrose real estate subsidiary to a third party. Enterprise Diversified relinquished all operational control and will retain a passive stake in the subsidiary.

 

The company plans to deconsolidate the Mt Melrose financials in its 10-Q filing as of June 30, 2019. This deconsolidation, along with the previously disclosed sale of the company’s home services subsidiary, will reduce the approximately $8.1 million of reported debt as of March 31, 2019, by approximately $6.9 million. Roughly half of the remaining debt is associated with the company’s ongoing EDI Real Estate subsidiary.    

 

Enterprise Diversified’s executive chairman, Steven Kiel, made the following statement:

 

Over the last two months, the board of directors and I have been aggressively refocusing the company on our asset management subsidiary, specifically our interests in Bonhoeffer Fund and Alluvial Fund. The future of our company is in these investments and future investments focused on the emerging manager space.

 

We had an opportunity to accelerate Enterprise Diversified’s transformation with this transaction and with our previous sale of our home services subsidiary. We have been uncomfortable with the amount of debt and the debt service associated with the Mt Melrose subsidiary, and we did not want to continue to allocate resources to the subsidiary.

 

This transaction removes the obligation for Enterprise Diversified to provide additional financial support to Mt Melrose and eliminates our operational involvement.

 

Additional details on this transaction—and Enterprise Diversified as a whole—will be contained in a shareholder presentation to be released shortly.
