On December 8, 2008, the Greater Wenatchee Regional Events Center Public
Facilities District (the "Public Facilities District") purchased the Town Toyota
Center, an event center located in Wenatchee, Washington and owned by Wenatchee
Events Center, LLC ("Wenatchee LLC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global
Entertainment Corporation ("Global"). The purchase was made pursuant to the
terms of the Amended and Restated Lease with Purchase Option Agreement between
Wenatchee LLC and the Public Facilities District and City of Wenatchee, dated
May 30, 2007, which lease was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on August 29, 2008 as Exhibit 10.9 to Global's
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The purchase of the 4,300-seat, 161,000 square foot event center was
effected for a total cash consideration of $52,404,301.24.
Construction of the Town Toyota Center was funded pursuant to the terms of
the Construction-Term Loan Agreement (the "Construction Loan") by and among
Marshall Financial Group, LLC ("Marshall") and Wenatchee LLC, which loan
agreement was previously filed with the Commission on August 29, 2008 as Exhibit
10.8 to Global's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Construction Loan was
guaranteed by Global. Pursuant to the terms of the Construction Loan and related
documents, the sale of the Town Toyota Center caused all amounts owed by
Wenatchee LLC to Marshall under the Construction Loan to be immediately due and
payable. Accordingly, upon the closing of the sale of the Toyota Event Center,
Marshall was paid $48,919,254.85 in full satisfaction of the principal,
interest, and fees owed Marshall by Wenatchee LLC under the Construction Loan
and related promissory note.
