The sale price for the Property is $21,500,000, $500,000 of which was paid as a nonrefundable deposit to the title company, with the remainder due at closing.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for transactions of this type. Closing is tentatively set for June 21, 2022.

The Purchase Agreement also contemplates that BTU will lease back the premises from Buyer at closing, the terms of which will be based on a market “absolute triple net” lease for a two-year term at a base rent of $1,500,000 per year.
