Gladstone Land Corporation Files for Public Offering of 6.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
February 20 2020 - 4:30PM
Gladstone Land Corporation (Nasdaq: LAND) (the “Company”) today
announced that it has filed a new prospectus supplement with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for a
continuous public offering of up to 400,000 shares (the “Offering”)
of its newly-designated 6.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at an offering
price of $25.00 per share (the “Primary Offering”), and up to
120,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a dividend
reinvestment plan at a price of $22.75 per share to those
stockholders who participate in such dividend reinvestment plan
(the “DRIP Offering”). The Company expects up to $10.00 million in
gross proceeds from the Primary Offering and up to $2.73 million
from the DRIP Offering and an aggregate of approximately $11.83
million in net proceeds, after payment of dealer manager fees and
selling commissions and estimated expenses of the offering payable
by the Company, assuming all shares of the Series C Preferred Stock
are sold in the Primary Offering and the DRIP Offering.
Gladstone Securities, LLC, an affiliate of the Company (“Gladstone
Securities”), will serve as the Company’s exclusive dealer manager
in connection with the Offering. The Series C Preferred Stock is
being offered by Gladstone Securities on a “reasonable best
efforts” basis pursuant to a Dealer Manager Agreement dated as of
February 20, 2020, entered into between the Company and Gladstone
Securities (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). The Dealer Manager
Agreement provides for the sale of up to 20,000,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock in the Primary Offering and up to
6,000,000 in the DRIP Offering and the Company intends to file a
new registration statement on Form S-3 and a related prospectus
supplement in March of 2020 in order to register and offer for sale
the entire amount of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms
of the Dealer Manager Agreement.
The Company expects that the offering of Series
C Preferred Stock will terminate on the date that is the earlier of
(1) June 1, 2025 (unless earlier terminated or extended by our
Board of Directors) and (2) the date on which all 20,000,000 shares
of Series C Preferred Stock offered in the Primary Offering are
sold. The offering period for the dividend reinvestment plan will
terminate on the earlier of (1) the issuance of all 6,000,000
shares of Series C Preferred Stock under the dividend reinvestment
plan and (2) the listing of the Series C Preferred Stock on the
Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) or another national securities
exchange. There is currently no public market for shares of Series
C Preferred Stock. The Company intends to apply to list the Series
C Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange
within one calendar year of the Termination Date, however, there
can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such
timeframe, or at all.
The offering is currently being conducted as a
public offering under the Company’s effective shelf registration
statement, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-217042), which became
effective on April 12, 2017. To obtain a copy of the final
prospectus supplement and the related base prospectus for this
offering, please contact: Gladstone Securities, LLC, 1521
Westbranch Drive, Suite 100 McLean, Virginia, Attn: John Kent.

to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
state or other jurisdiction.
