NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events for disclosure and/or recognition in the financial statements through the date that the financial statements were issued.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

On January 12, 2022, the Company awarded approximately 25,000 shares of restricted stock to five employees.

 

Issuance of Series A Bonds

 

On February 6, 2022, the Company issued $102.7 million of its new  4.72% Series A Bonds due 2027, or the 2027 Bonds, in an offering to investors in Israel. The Company received $98.7 million, net of offering expenses. The 2027 Bonds are unsecured obligations of the Company denominated in Israeli shekels (NIS) and were issued pursuant to a Deed of Trust dated January 31, 2022 between the Company and Reznik Paz Nevo Trusts Ltd., an Israeli trust company, as trustee. The 2027 Bonds will pay interest at a rate of 4.72% per year. Interest on the 2027 Bonds is payable semi-annually on August 31, 2022, and on February 28 and August 31 of the years 2023-2026 (inclusive) and on the final maturity date of February 28, 2027. The principal and interest will be linked to the U.S. Dollar. In the event of a future downgrade by two or more notches in the rating of the 2027 Bonds or a failure by the Company to comply with certain covenants in the Deed of Trust, the interest rate on the 2027 Bonds will be subject to increase. However, any such increases, in the aggregate, would not exceed 1.25% per annum.

 

Under the Deed of Trust, the Company has the right to redeem the 2027 Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time on or after 60 days from February 9, 2022, the date on which the 2027 Bonds were listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”). Any such voluntary early redemption by the Company will require payment of the applicable early redemption amount calculated in accordance with the Deed of Trust. Upon the occurrence of an event of default or certain other events, including a delisting of the 2027 Bonds by the TASE, the Company may be required to effect an early repayment or redemption of all or a portion of the 2027 Bonds at their par value plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Deed of Trust permits the Company, subject to certain conditions, to issue additional 2027 Bonds without obtaining approval of the holders of the 2027 Bonds.

 

The 2027 Bonds are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The Deed of Trust includes certain customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain ratios of debt to net operating income, to shareholders equity and to earnings, and customary events of default.

 

The 2027 Bonds were offered solely to investors outside the United States and were not offered to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933).

 

Listing of Common Stock on the TASE

 

On February 8, 2022, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on the TASE. Trading of the common stock on the TASE began on February 9, 2022.

 

MREIC

 

On February 17, 2022, the shareholders of MREIC approved a proposed sale of MREIC pursuant to a merger agreement with a third party, whereby such third party would acquire MREIC in an all-cash merger and the Company and MREIC’s other shareholders would receive a cash payment of $21.00 per share in cancellation of their MREIC common shares. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned 2.7 million shares of MREIC common stock. This transaction is expected to be consummated by February 28, 2022.
