Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 23, 2021, CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (the “Company” or “CTO”) completed the acquisition of a mixed-use center in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas Metropolitan Area ( “The Shops at Legacy”) from an affiliate of an investment management company (the “Shops at Legacy Seller”) for a purchase price of $72.5 million. There is no material relationship between the Company or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any director or officer of the Company, and the Shops at Legacy Seller, other than with respect to the Company’s acquisition of The Shops at Legacy. The acquisition was funded using (a) available cash, (b) 1031 like-kind exchange proceeds generated from certain of the Company’s previously completed property dispositions, (c) proceeds from the Company’s partial exercise of its accordion option on its existing term loan, and (d) proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility, and was structured as a reverse like-kind exchange in order to account for possible future dispositions of income properties by the Company.

There is no material relationship between the Company or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any director or officer of the Company, and the Beaver Creek Seller, other than with respect to the Company’s acquisition of Beaver Creek Crossings.
