ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on September 18, 2008, as a Maryland corporation. Effective August 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from TNP Strategic Retail Trust, Inc. to Strategic Realty Trust, Inc. The Company believes it qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and has elected REIT status beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2009, the year in which the Company began material operations.
Since the Company’s inception, its business has been managed by an external advisor. The Company has no direct employees and all management and administrative personnel responsible for conducting the Company’s business are employed by its advisor. Currently, the Company is externally managed and advised by SRT Advisor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an advisory agreement with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) initially executed on August 10, 2013, and subsequently renewed in August 2014, August 2015 and August 2016. The current term of the Advisory Agreement terminates on August 10, 2017. The Advisor is an affiliate of Glenborough, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Glenborough”), a privately held full-service real estate investment and management company focused on the acquisition, management and leasing of commercial properties.
Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Strategic Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”). During the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”), as the Company accepted subscriptions for shares of its common stock, it transferred substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering to the OP as a capital contribution. The Company is the sole general partner of the OP. As of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owned 96.3% of the limited partnership interests in the OP.
The Company’s principal demand for funds has been for the acquisition of real estate assets, the payment of operating expenses, interest on outstanding indebtedness, the payment of distributions to stockholders, and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as well as development of properties. Substantially all of the proceeds of the completed Offering have been used to fund investments in real properties and other real estate-related assets, for payment of operating expenses, for payment of interest, for payment of various fees and expenses, such as acquisition fees and management fees, and for payment of distributions to stockholders. The Company’s available capital resources, cash and cash equivalents on hand and sources of liquidity are currently limited. The Company expects its future cash needs will be funded using cash from operations, future asset sales, debt financing and the proceeds to the Company from any sale of equity that it may conduct in the future.
The Company invests in and manages a portfolio of income-producing retail properties, located in the United States, real estate-owning entities and real estate-related assets, including the investment in or origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans related to commercial real estate. The Company has invested directly, and indirectly through joint ventures, in a portfolio of income-producing retail properties located throughout the United States, with a focus on grocery anchored multi-tenant retail centers, including neighborhood, community and lifestyle shopping centers, multi-tenant shopping centers and free standing single-tenant retail properties. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company invested, through joint ventures, in two significant retail projects under development.
As of March 31, 2017, in addition to the development projects, the Company’s portfolio of properties was comprised of 13 properties, including one property held for sale, with approximately 601,000 rentable square feet of retail space located in five states. As of March 31, 2017, the rentable space at the Company’s retail properties was 89% leased.
