NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As discussed in Note 9 – Related Party and Other Financing Transactions, upon the dissolution of Justice in December 2021, Portsmouth assumed Justice’s note payable to InterGroup in the amount of $11,350,000. On December 31, 2021, Portsmouth and InterGroup entered into a loan modification agreement which increased Portsmouth’s borrowing from InterGroup as needed up to $16,000,000. On July 20, 2022, the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the balance of the loan was $14,200,000 and $6,650,000, net of loan amortization costs of zero, respectively, and are eliminated in the consolidated balance sheets of InterGroup.

 

On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Santa Fe pursuant to which the Company received 97,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Santa Fe, in exchange for its contribution to Santa Fe of 4,460 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Intergroup Woodland Village, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Transaction”). As a result of the contribution, Woodland Village became a wholly owned subsidiary of Santa Fe. Before the issuance of the stock referenced in the preceding sentence, the Company had the power to vote 86.3% of the voting shares of Santa Fe, which includes the power to vote 3.7% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe owned by the Company’s Chairman and CEO, John V. Winfield, pursuant to a voting trust agreement entered into on June 30, 1998. Subsequent to this issuance, the Company had the power to vote 87.4% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Santa Fe, which included the power to vote an approximately 3.7% interest in the common stock in Santa Fe under the aforementioned voting trust agreement. Mr. Winfield, Chairman of the Board of both the Company and Santa Fe, is a control person of both entities.

 

 

On February 5, 2020, after review by independent directors of the Company, and by the unanimous vote of all directors of the Company (with Mr. Winfield abstaining), the Board approved the entry into the Contribution Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction. The Company’s Board approved the Transaction after the receipt of a fairness opinion from a third-party independent firm. The Board was first made aware of the Transaction in early January 2020, received information to review on or about January 17, 2020 and was given multiple opportunities to discuss the materials with management before the February 5, 2020 Board meeting. The Contribution Agreement also contains a provision for a potential subsequent earn out to InterGroup pursuant to terms set forth therein.

 

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 note payable 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.

 

Effective February 19, 2021, the Company’s 83.7% owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Financial Corporation (“Santa Fe”), a public company (OTCBB: SFEF), was liquidated and all of its assets including its 68.8% interest in Portsmouth Square Inc. (“Portsmouth”), a public company (OTCBB: PRSI) was distributed to its shareholders in exchange for their Santa Fe common stock. InterGroup 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. The liquidation and distribution of Santa Fe did not have an impact on the consolidated statement of operations but rather on the consolidated balance sheets as a re-class between non-controlling interests and accumulated deficit. As of June 30, 2022, InterGroup owns approximately 75.0% of the outstanding common shares of Portsmouth. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John Winfield, owns approximately 2.5% of the outstanding common shares of Portsmouth. Mr. Winfield also serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Portsmouth.

 

In August 2004, the Company purchased an approximately two-acre parcel of unimproved land in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii for $1,467,000. In March 2021, in an effort to make both companies more efficient, InterGroup purchased back the 50% interest of InterGroup Uluniu Inc. from Portsmouth for $980,000, which represents Portsmouth’s carrying cost of the investment. No gains or losses were realized as a result of the transaction since it was a related-party transaction. As a related-party transaction, the fairness of the financial terms of the transactions were reviewed and approved by the independent director of each company.

 

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 and served in that position until the dissolution of Justice in December 2021. 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.
