Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
September 17, 2020, Power REIT (“Power REIT” or the “Trust”), through a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Trust (“PropCo”), in connection with the acquisition of a 3.0 acre property located in York County, Maine (the “505
Property”), entered into a triple-net lease (the “Lease”) with Sweet Dirt (the “Tenant”). The Lease
provides that Tenant is responsible for paying
all expenses related to the Property, including maintenance expenses, insurance and taxes. The
Lease requires the Tenant to maintain a medical cannabis license and operate in accordance with all Maine regulations with respect
to its operations.
As
part of the agreement, the Trust agreed to fund the construction of an approximately 9,900 square feet of processing building
and the renovation of an existing 2,738 square foot building on the Property for $1.56 million.
The
Lease is structured whereby after a nine month period, the additional rental payments provide PropCo with a full return of its
original invested capital over the next three years and thereafter, provide a 13.2% return increasing 3% rate per annum.
In
addition, on August 25, 2020, Power REIT has entered into an agreement for expansion of a property located in Southern Colorado
(“Sherman 6”) owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust (“Sherman 6 PropCo”) and leased to Green
Street LLC (“Tenant”) pursuant to a lease (the “Lease”).
The
expansion consists of approximately 2,520 square feet of additional greenhouse/headhouse space. The Tenant is responsible for
implementing the expansion and Sherman 6 PropCo will fund the cost of such expansion up to a total of $151,301, with
any additional amounts funded by Tenant. Once completed, Power REIT’s total investment in Sherman 6 will be $1,995,101.
As
part of the agreement, Sherman 6 PropCo and Tenant have amended the Lease whereby after a nine month period, the additional
rental payments provide Sherman 6 PropCo with a full return of its original invested capital over the next three years
and thereafter, provide a 12.9% return increasing 3% rate per annum.
The
foregoing descriptions of the leases do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete
text of the Leases, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated into this
Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On
September 18, 2020, the Trust, through PropCo, completed the acquisition of the 505 Property which is a 3.0 acre Property in York,
Maine for $400,000. The Property is adjacent to a property (the “495 Property) acquired by PropCo on May 15, 2020 that is
leased to the Tenant. PropCo exercised its option it received at the time of the acquisition of the 495 Property to purchase the
505 Property. Power REIT’s total investment in the 505 Property at the completion of funding will be approximately $1.96
million.
Item
