Item 8.01.  Other Events

Savage Town Square Acquisition

On June 19, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased a shopping center containing 87,181 rentable square feet and located on approximately 11.4 acres of land in Savage, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul (“Savage Town Square”), for approximately $15.0 million, exclusive of closing costs.  The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from its initial public offering.  Savage Town Square was purchased collectively from MN Savage 1, LLC, MN Savage 2, LLC, MN Savage 3, LLC, MN Savage 4, LLC, MN Savage 5, LLC, MN Savage 6, LLC, MN Savage 7, LLC, MN Savage 8, LLC, MN Savage 9, LLC, MN Savage 10, LLC, MN Savage 11, LLC, MN Savage 12, LLC, MN Savage 13, LLC, MN Savage 14, LLC, MN Savage 15, LLC, and MN Savage 16, LLC, all of which are not affiliated with the Company.

 Savage Town Square is 100% leased to ten tenants, including a Cub Foods grocery store that occupies approximately 80.0% of the total rentable square feet.  Based on the current condition of Savage Town Square, the Company does not believe that it will be necessary to make significant renovations to the property. The Company’s management believes that Savage Town Square is adequately insured.
