Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement to Accept Interests in Satisfaction of Obligations, (the “Agreement to Accept Interests”) by and among Belpointe PREP, LLC (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), BPOZ 1991 Main QOZB, LLC (“BPOZ 1991 Main QOZB”), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Company, and Belpointe Investment Holding, LLC (“BI Holding”), an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Brandon Lacoff (“Lacoff”), and sponsor, Belpointe, LLC, BPOZ 1991 Main QOZB acquired a 99.99% interest (the “Interest”) in BPOZ 1991 Main, LLC (“BPOZ 1991 Main”), the principal asset of which is a real property located at 1991 Main Street, Sarasota, Florida (“1991 Main”).
BI Holding had originally acquired the Interest from Belpointe REIT, Inc. (“Belpointe REIT”), and, in connection therewith, Belpointe REIT lent BI Holding $24,773,000 pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 5% per annum calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and due and payable on September 14, 2022 (the “Secured Note”). BI Holding used the proceeds of the Secured Note to acquire the Interest.
As previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 21, 2021, by and among and Belpointe REIT, the Company and BREIT Merger, LLC (“BREIT Merger”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Belpointe REIT converted from a Maryland corporation into a Maryland limited liability company named BREIT, LLC (“BREIT”), and, effective October 14, 2021, BREIT merged with and into BREIT Merger, with BREIT Merger surviving (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, we acquired the Secured Note as successor in interest to Belpointe REIT and BREIT.
On November 30, 2021, BI Holding made a payment to the Company in the amount of $262,946.29 representing the interest accrued under the terms of the Secured Note through November 30, 2021.
On December 10, 2021, following approval of the conflicts committee of our board of directors, we acquired the Interest from BI Holding in satisfaction of its remaining obligations under the terms of Secured Note.
1991 Main, a 5.3-acre site located at the intersection of Main Street and Links Avenue in downtown Sarasota, Florida, will be redeveloped into a 418-apartment home community consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and a limited number of four-bedroom townhome-style penthouse apartments, with approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space located on the first level. We anticipate that 1991 will consist of two high-rise buildings with 7-stories in the front and 10-stories in the rear. We anticipate that amenities at each building will include a clubroom, fitness room, center courtyard with heated, saltwater pool, grills and seating and roof top amenities including a community room and a private dining area for private events as well as outdoor grills and seating. Adjacent to the roof top amenities at each building, will be three guest units available to guests or families of residents for a fee. Each building will have its own leasing office located at the entry lobby. Approximately 715 parking spaces will serve the 2 buildings including 590 from an existing parking garage and 125 new spaces at the ground level. Retail space is anticipated to include a 23,000 square foot grocer, 12,000 square foot food hall and several smaller spaces for cafes and restaurants.
1991 Main was originally acquired by Belpointe REIT for a purchase price of approximately $20,701,000, inclusive of transaction costs and deferred financing fees. A portion of the acquisition costs were funded from a secured loan from First Florida Integrity Bank (the “Acquisition Loan”), the current outstanding principal balance of which is $10,800,000. The Acquisition Loan is payable in consecutive monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal balance plus any accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on May 6, 2022. The Acquisition Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum and is guaranteed by Lacoff.
The foregoing description of the Agreement to Accept Interests does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement to Accept Interests, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
