FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

RW HOLDINGS NNN REIT, INC. TO EXPLORE POTENTIAL ACQUISITION
OF RICH UNCLES REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST I

 

March 19, 2019, Costa Mesa, CA. In connection with the announcement on January 14, 2019 by Rich Uncles Real Estate Investment Trust I (“REIT I”) of REIT I’s decision to pursue strategic alternatives, including the potential sale of its real estate portfolio (the “REIT I Portfolio”), RW Holdings NNN REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that the Company intends to explore a potential acquisition of REIT I or the REIT I Portfolio. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has formed a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”), consisting solely of independent directors, that will evaluate the potential for a transaction with REIT I.

 

The Special Committee has engaged UBS Investment Bank as its financial advisor and Morris, Manning and Martin, LLP as its legal advisor to assist the Special Committee as it conducts a review of a potential acquisition of REIT I or the REIT I Portfolio.

 

The Company and REIT I are affiliated entities that are both sponsored by BrixInvest, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and are externally managed by affiliates of the Sponsor. The members of the Special Committee, comprising four of the Company’s six directors, have no affiliation with REIT I or the Sponsor. The Company currently owns an approximate 4.8% interest in REIT I.

 

The Special Committee has not set a definitive timetable for completion of its evaluation, and there can be no assurances that the review process will result in any transaction. The Company does not intend to provide any updates pertaining to its exploration of a potential acquisition of REIT I and shareholders should not expect any announcement from the Company until such time that an outcome has been reached with respect to any potential offer for REIT I or the REIT I Portfolio, except as required under applicable laws.
