(the “Corporation”), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $4.50 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) dated February 11, 2021 (the “Offer Date”) and the related Assignment Form, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. Any dividends paid after March 30, 2021, or such other date to which the Offer may be extended (the “Expiration Date”), by the terms of the Offer and as set forth in the Assignment Form, would be assigned by tendering Shareholders to the Purchaser. Comrit Investments Ltd. is being named as a bidder herein because it is deemed to control the Purchaser, but otherwise is not participating in the Offer.

 

Tender of Shares will include the tender of any and all securities into which the Shares may be converted and any securities distributed with respect to the Shares from and after the Offer Date. The Purchaser is entitled to all proceeds that are paid after the Expiration Date from or as a result of any claim, litigation, class or derivative action brought by or for the benefit of the tendering Shareholders with respect to the transferred Shares, regardless of when the claims asserted and such action accrued.

 

The Corporation reported approximately 58,296 holders of record owning an aggregate of approximately 309,427,537 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 13, 2020, and reported approximately 309.4 million shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 5, 2020 according to the Corporation’s proxy statement/prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2020 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Purchaser and its affiliates currently own approximately 262,107 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, or less than 0.1% of the common stock outstanding as of November 5, 2020. The 15,550,000 Shares subject to the Offer constitute approximately 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as of November 5, 2020. Consummation of the Offer, if all Shares sought are tendered, would require payment by the Purchaser of up to $69,975,000 in aggregate purchase price, which the Purchaser intends to fund out of its available cash on hand.

 

The address of the Corporation’s principal executive offices is 2398 East Camelback Road, 4th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, and its phone number is (602) 778-8700.
