Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 14, 2023, Life Storage, Inc. (the “Company”) and Life Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into (i) an Amendment No. 2 to Note Purchase Agreement (2016) dated July 14, 2023 by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Obligors and (ii) an Amendment No. 5 to Note Purchase Agreement (2014) dated July 14, 2023 by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Obligors (the “Amendments”). The Amendments revised provisions related to prepayment of the notes to allow prepayment concurrently with the closing of the potential merger with Extra Space Storage Inc. pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
The above summary of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendments. A copy of the Amendments are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form
8-K.
 
Item 5.07.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on July 18, 2023. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on two proposals, each of which is described in further detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 6, 2023. Stockholder action on a third proposal, to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to another date, time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Merger Agreement Proposal (as defined below) (the “Adjournment Proposal”), was not required and no vote was taken on that proposal.
As of the close of business on May 23, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 85,093,805 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) outstanding, which were each entitled to one vote with respect to each proposal at the Special Meeting. Holders of 71,302,444 shares of Common Stock were present at the Special Meeting virtually or by proxy, representing 83.79% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, which constituted a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered and voted on the following matters:
 
   
a proposal to approve the merger of Eros Merger Sub, LLC with and into the Company (the “Company Merger”) pursuant to, and on the terms and conditions set forth in, the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2023, as amended on May 18, 2023 and as it may be further amended from time to time, by and among the Company, Life Storage LP, Extra Space Storage Inc. (“Extra Space”), Extra Space Storage LP, Eros Merger Sub, LLC and Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC (the “Merger Agreement”), and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement Proposal”); and
 
   
A
non-binding
advisory proposal to approve the compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the Company Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Advisory Compensation Proposal”).
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the Merger Agreement Proposal. Because there were sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal, stockholder action on the Adjournment Proposal was not required and
no
vote was taken on that proposal.
The final voting results for each proposal are set forth below.
 

Merger Agreement Proposal
At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal. The table below sets forth
the
voting results for this proposal:
 
Votes For
  
Votes Against
  
Abstentions
70,951,299
  
149,601
  
201,544
Advisory Compensation Proposal
At the Special Meeting, the Advisory Compensation Proposal did not receive the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders and therefore was not approved. The table below sets forth the voting results for this proposal:
 
Votes For
  
Votes Against
  
Abstentions
10,500,238
  
60,478,889
  
323,317
Because none of the proposals were “routine” matters, there were no broker
non-votes
occurring in connection with these proposals at the Special Meeting.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the closing of the transaction in the Merger Agreement, the transaction is expected to be completed on July 20, 2023.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Extra Space Mergers, the Obligors have requested the consent of the holders of the Notes to amend certain provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein effective on the Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 17.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement, any amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement to (A) change the time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or change the time of payment of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, or (B) amend Section 8 (including the amendments pursuant to Section 2 hereof) requires the written consent of the Obligors and all of the holders of the Notes at the time outstanding affected thereby; and

WHEREAS, the Obligors and the holders of the Notes party hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The above Recitals are hereby confirmed by the parties hereto and incorporated into this Amendment in their entirety.

 

1


Section 2. Amendments to Note Purchase Agreement. Upon the Amendment Effective Date, the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

  (a)

Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. The Obligors may, at their option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus, in the event of prepayment prior to the 90 day period ending on the final scheduled maturity date of the Notes, the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Obligors will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that, solely with respect to any optional prepayment in full of all Notes under this Section 8.2 in connection with the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, such written notice (an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice) (x) may be provided to holders at any time prior to the Business Day prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, (y) may be conditional on the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, and (z) shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under Section 8.3 (Prepayment of Notes Upon Change of Control) hereunder with respect to delivery of a notice of a Change of Control and offer to prepay the Notes arising in connection with the Extra Space Mergers. Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. If the Obligors deliver an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice that is conditional upon the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, the Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice shall state that, in the Obligors discretion, the prepayment date may be delayed until such time as such condition shall be satisfied, or such prepayment may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that such condition shall not have been satisfied by the prepayment date, or by the prepayment date so delayed. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Obligors shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date; provided that if such certificate is delivered pursuant to an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice, such certificate need only be provided to each holder of Notes one Business Day prior to the specified prepayment date and may be conditional on the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers. Any notices, certificates or other information that are required to be delivered by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 8.2 may be delivered to each holder of a Note by e-mail or by any other electronic means, and shall be deemed to have been given at the time such notice, certificate or other information was first sent by the Obligors; provided that for informational purposes only, the Obligors shall on the same day send a confirming copy of such notice, certificate or other information by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid).

 

  (b)

Section 8.3 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended by the addition of the following Section 8.3(f) to read in its entirety as follows:

(f) Deemed Change in Control Offer. A notice delivered by the Obligors pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8.2 in connection with the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under this Section 8.3 with respect to delivery of a notice of a Change of Control and offer to prepay the Notes arising in connection with the Extra Space Mergers.

 

2


  (c)

The first sentence of Section 18 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

“Except as provided in Section 7.4 and Section 8.2, all notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid).”

 

  (d)

The last sentence of Section 18 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

Except as provided in Section 8.2, notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received.”

 

  (e)

Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following term in its entirety as follows:

Extra Space Mergers” shall mean the mergers of (i) Eros Merger Sub, LLC with and into LSI, with LSI continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space Storage Inc., and (ii) Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC with and into LSLP, with LSLP continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Extra Space Storage LP.

Section 3. Optional Prepayment in Relation to Extra Space Mergers.

 

  (a)

Subject to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 herein, prior to the date on which the Extra Space Mergers are consummated, the Obligors may provide written notice to holders of the Notes of the exercise of the option to prepay the Notes in full in cash in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby (the “Prepayment Notice”).

 

  (b)

On the date fixed for prepayment specified in the Prepayment Notice (the “Prepayment Date”), if such notice has not been rescinded in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, the Obligors shall prepay the Notes in full in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.

 

  (c)

The holders of the Notes agree that, in exchange for, and conditioned upon the Obligors’ payment of the principal, interest and applicable Make-Whole Amount as required in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby (the “Pay-Off Amount”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the holders of the Notes shall surrender all Notes to the Obligors in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement promptly following receipt of the Pay-Off Amount.

 

  (d)

Upon such payment of the Pay-Off Amount by the Obligors directly to the holders pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the debt represented by the Notes shall be satisfied and discharged in full and the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement shall cease to have effect (other than those that shall survive by their express terms).

 

  (e)

The prepayment, including the Prepayment Notice to be delivered hereunder, by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 3 shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under Section 8.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to a Change of Control arising from the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers.

1


Section 2. Amendments to Note Purchase Agreement. Upon the Amendment Effective Date, the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

  (a)

Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. The Obligors may, at their option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus, in the event of prepayment prior to the 90 day period ending on the final scheduled maturity date of the Notes, the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Obligors will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment; provided that, solely with respect to any optional prepayment in full of all Notes under this Section 8.2 in connection with the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, such written notice (an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice) (x) may be provided to holders at any time prior to the Business Day prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, (y) may be conditional on the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, and (z) shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under Section 8.3 (Prepayment of Notes Upon Change of Control) hereunder with respect to delivery of a notice of a Change of Control and offer to prepay the Notes arising in connection with the Extra Space Mergers. Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. If the Obligors deliver an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice that is conditional upon the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers, the Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice shall state that, in the Obligors discretion, the prepayment date may be delayed until such time as such condition shall be satisfied, or such prepayment may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that such condition shall not have been satisfied by the prepayment date, or by the prepayment date so delayed. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Obligors shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date; provided that if such certificate is delivered pursuant to an Extra Space Mergers Prepayment Notice, such certificate need only be provided to each holder of Notes one Business Day prior to the specified prepayment date and may be conditional on the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers. Any notices, certificates or other information that are required to be delivered by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 8.2 may be delivered to each holder of a Note by e-mail or by any other electronic means, and shall be deemed to have been given at the time such notice, certificate or other information was first sent by the Obligors; provided that for informational purposes only, the Obligors shall on the same day send a confirming copy of such notice, certificate or other information by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid).

 

  (b)

Section 8.3 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended by the addition of the following Section 8.3(f) to read in its entirety as follows:

 

2


(f) Deemed Change in Control Offer. A notice delivered by the Obligors pursuant to the second sentence of Section 8.2 in connection with the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under this Section 8.3 with respect to delivery of a notice of a Change of Control and offer to prepay the Notes arising in connection with the Extra Space Mergers.

 

  (c)

The first sentence of Section 18 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

“Except as provided in Section 7.4 and Section 8.2, all notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid).”

 

  (d)

The last sentence of Section 18 to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be replaced in its entirety as follows:

Except as provided in Section 8.2, notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received.”

 

  (e)

Schedule B to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended by adding the following term in its entirety as follows:

Extra Space Mergers” shall mean the mergers of (i) Eros Merger Sub, LLC with and into LSI, with LSI continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Extra Space Storage Inc., and (ii) Eros OP Merger Sub, LLC with and into LSLP, with LSLP continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Extra Space Storage LP.

Section 3. Optional Prepayment in Relation to Extra Space Mergers.

 

  (a)

Subject to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 herein, prior to the date on which the Extra Space Mergers are consummated, the Obligors may provide written notice to holders of the Notes of the exercise of the option to prepay the Notes in full in cash in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby (the “Prepayment Notice”).

 

  (b)

On the date fixed for prepayment specified in the Prepayment Notice (the “Prepayment Date”), if such notice has not been rescinded in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, the Obligors shall prepay the Notes in full in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.

 

  (c)

The holders of the Notes agree that, in exchange for, and conditioned upon the Obligors’ payment of the principal, interest and applicable Make-Whole Amount as required in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby (the “Pay-Off Amount”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the holders of the Notes shall surrender all Notes to the Obligors in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement promptly following receipt of the Pay-Off Amount.

 

  (d)

Upon such payment of the Pay-Off Amount by the Obligors directly to the holders pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the debt represented by the Notes shall be satisfied and discharged in full and the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement shall cease to have effect (other than those that shall survive by their express terms).

 

3


  (e)

The prepayment, including the Prepayment Notice to be delivered hereunder, by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 3 shall be deemed to satisfy all of the obligations of the Obligors under Section 8.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to a Change of Control arising from the consummation of the Extra Space Mergers.

All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that EXR or LSI expects or anticipates will occur in the future — including statements relating to any possible transaction between EXR and LSI, acquisition and development activity, disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where EXR or LSI operate, timing and amount of dividend payments and EXR’s and LSI’s respective debt, capital structure and financial position — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although EXR and LSI believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, neither EXR nor LSI can give assurance that its expectations will be attained and, therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) EXR’s and LSI’s ability to complete the proposed transaction on the proposed terms or on the anticipated timeline, or at all, including satisfaction of other closing conditions to consummate the proposed transaction; (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement relating to the proposed transaction; (iii) risks related to diverting the attention of EXR and LSI management from ongoing business operations; (iv) failure to realize the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; (v) significant transaction costs and/or unknown or inestimable liabilities; (vi) the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the proposed transaction, including resulting expense or delay; (vii) the risk that LSI’s business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (viii) risks related to future opportunities and plans for the combined company, including the uncertainty of expected future financial performance and results of the combined company following completion of the proposed transaction; (ix) the effect of the announcement of the proposed transaction on the ability of EXR and LSI to operate their respective businesses and retain and hire key personnel and to maintain favorable business relationships; (x) risks related to the market value of the EXR common stock to be issued in the proposed transaction; (xi) other risks related to the completion of the proposed transaction and actions related thereto; (xii) national, international, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (xiii) changes in global financial markets and interest rates; (xiv) increased or unanticipated competition for EXR’s or LSI’s properties; (xv) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties, including increased development costs due to additional regulatory requirements related to climate change; (xvi) maintenance of Real Estate Investment Trust status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (xvii) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that EXR and LSI maintain and their credit ratings; (xviii) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (xix) risks related to the coronavirus pandemic; and (xx) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in EXR’s and LSI’s respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Neither EXR nor LSI undertakes any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this communication except as may be required by law.
