To fund the redemption of limited partnership interests and to repay the prior mortgage of $42,940,000, Justice obtained a $97,000,000 mortgage loan and a $20,000,000 mezzanine loan in December 2013. The mortgage loan is secured by the Partnership’s principal asset, the Hotel. The mortgage loan bears an interest rate of 5.275% per annum with interest only payments due through January 2017. Beginning in February 2017, the loan began to amortize over a thirty-year period through its maturity date of January 2024. Outstanding principal balance on the loan was $91,130,000 and $92,292,000 as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. As additional security for the mortgage loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by Portsmouth in favor of the mortgage lender. The mezzanine loan is secured by the Operating membership interest held by Mezzanine and is subordinated to the Mortgage Loan. The mezzanine interest only loan had an interest rate of 9.75% per annum and a maturity date of January 1, 2024. As additional security for the mezzanine loan, there is a limited guaranty executed by Portsmouth in favor of the mezzanine lender. On July 31, 2019, Mezzanine refinanced the mezzanine loan by entering into a new mezzanine loan agreement (“New Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) with Cred Reit Holdco LLC in the amount of $20,000,000. The prior Mezzanine Loan which had a 9.75% per annum interest rate was paid off. Interest rate on the new mezzanine loan is 7.25% and the loan matures on January 1, 2024. Interest only payments are due monthly.

Effective May 11, 2017, InterGroup agreed to become an additional guarantor under the limited guaranty and an additional indemnitor under the environmental indemnity for Justice Investors limited partnership’s $97,000,000 mortgage loan and the $20,000,000 mezzanine loan. Pursuant to the agreement, InterGroup is required to maintain certain net worth and liquidity. As of March 31, 2021, InterGroup is in compliance with both requirements. However, due to the Hotel’s current low occupancy and its negative impact on the Hotel’s cash flow, Justice Operating Company, LLC may not meet certain of its loan covenants such as the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) which would trigger the creation of a lock-box by the Lender for all cash collected by the Hotel. However, such lockbox has been created and utilized from the loan inception and will be in place up to loan maturity regardless of the DSCR.

On July 2, 2014, the Partnership obtained from InterGroup an unsecured loan in the principal amount of $4,250,000 at 12% per year fixed interest, with a term of 2 years, payable interest only each month. InterGroup received a 3% loan fee. The loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The loan was extended to July 1, 2021. On December 16, 2020, Justice and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Justice’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed up to $10,000,000 from its current loan balance of $3,000,000 due to InterGroup. The balance of this loan was $5,950,00 and $3,000,000 as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, and is eliminated in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In July 2018, InterGroup obtained a revolving $5,000,000 line of credit (“RLOC”) from CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). On July 31, 2018, $2,969,000 was drawn from the RLOC to pay off the mortgage note payable at Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc. (“Woodland Village”) and a new mortgage note payable was established at Woodland Village due to InterGroup for the amount drawn. Woodland Village holds a three-story apartment complex in Santa Monica, California and is a subsidiary of Santa Fe and the Company. The RLOC carries a variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 3%. Interest is paid on a monthly basis. The RLOC and all accrued and unpaid interest were due in July 2019. In July 2019, the Company obtained a modification from CIBC which increased the RLOC by $3,000,000 and extended the maturity date from July 24, 2019 to July 23, 2020. The $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup carries same terms as InterGroup’s RLOC. In July 2020, InterGroup entered into a second modification agreement with CIBC which extended the maturity date of its RLOC to July 21, 2021. The $2,969,000 mortgage due to InterGroup was also extended to July 1, 2021. On August 28, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 27-unit apartment complex located in Santa Monica, California for $15,650,000 and received net proceeds of $12,163,000 after selling costs and repayment of InterGroup’s RLOC of $2,985,000. Furthermore, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between Santa Fe and InterGroup, Santa Fe paid InterGroup $662,000 from the sale.

On November 23, 2020, Santa Fe sold its 2-unit apartment complex in West Los Angeles, California to InterGroup for $1,530,000 in exchange for a reduction of $1,196,000 of its obligation to InterGroup. Santa Fe acquired the property on February 1, 2002 for $785,000. Outstanding mortgage on the property for $334,000 was simultaneously transferred to InterGroup. Santa Fe realized a gain on the sale of approximately $901,000, which was eliminated in consolidation at InterGroup. The sales price of the property represents its current value as of the sale date as appraised by a licensed independent third-party appraiser. The fairness of the sale terms of the transaction were reviewed and approved by the independent directors of Santa Fe and InterGroup, and unanimously approved by the entire Board of Directors of both companies.

As disclosed in its Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed with the SEC on January 25, 2021, Santa Fe received shareholder approval to distribute its assets, as described and subsequently dissolve, all as set forth in the Information Statement. As InterGroup formerly owned 83.7% of the outstanding common stock of Santa Fe, the Company received cash of $5,013,000 and 422,998 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. As a former 3.7% shareholder of Santa Fe, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, received cash of $221,000 and 18,641 shares of Portsmouth common stock in March 2021 as a result of the liquidation of Santa Fe. On April 12, 2021, Santa Fe received a filed stamped copy of its Articles of Dissolution from the State of Nevada, and Santa Fe is effectively fully dissolved and no longer in legal existence.

Four of the Portsmouth directors serve as directors of InterGroup.

As Chairman of the Executive Strategic Real Estate and Securities Investment Committee, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), John V. Winfield, directs the investment activity of the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the Board of Directors. Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity of Portsmouth. Effective June 2016, Mr. Winfield became the Managing Director of Justice. Depending on certain market conditions and various risk factors, the Chief Executive Officer and Portsmouth may, at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests. Such investments align the interests of the Company with the interests of related parties because it places the personal resources of the Chief Executive Officer and the resources of Portsmouth, at risk in substantially the same manner as the Company in connection with investment decisions made on behalf of the Company.
