Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 10, 2018, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) of Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Transamerica Loan Agreement”) with Transamerica Life Insurance Company providing for commercial mortgage loans to the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of $78.0 million (collectively, the “Transamerica Loan”).  The Transamerica Loan matures on August 1, 2028 and bears interest at the fixed rate of 4.35% per annum.  The promissory notes (the “Notes”) evidencing the Transamerica Loan require the borrowers to make monthly interest-only payments through August 2019 and thereafter the Transamerica Loan requires equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest based on a 30-year amortization period.  The Borrowers’ final payments on the Transamerica Loan, due on the maturity date, shall include all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest.  The Borrowers may repay the Transamerica Loan at any time following the first 12 full calendar months of the Transamerica Loan’s term, subject to paying a premium equal to the greater of (a) 1% of the prepayment amount and (b) the “Yield Protection Amount,” as defined in the Notes.  The Transamerica Loan Agreement and the Notes contain customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest and bankruptcy.  Any default under the Transamerica Loan Agreement or any Note will constitute a default under each of the other Notes.  Each Borrower has guaranteed the payment obligations of all the other Borrowers under the Notes.

 

A copy of the Transamerica Loan Agreement is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein.  The foregoing summary description of the Transamerica Loan Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirely by the complete text of the Transamerica Loan Agreement.

 

Item 1.02   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 10, 2018, the Company used the proceeds of the Transamerica Loan, along with additional working capital, to repay in full the loan (the “MWG Loan”) under the loan agreement entered into between certain of the Borrowers and Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC on November 30, 2017.  The MWG Loan was scheduled to mature on November 30, 2019 and its current interest rate was an amount per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.10%.  The proceeds of the MWG Loan were used to partially fund the Company’s acquisition of a portfolio of 15 industrial properties in the greater Chicago area.

4.4 Cross Guarantees

Each of the Borrowers (the “ Guaranteeing Borrower” ) hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Lender that all payment obligations of the other Borrowers, including, without limitation, all principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents, will be paid in the amounts, at the times and in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents, and that all of the terms, covenants and conditions required in the Loan Documents to be kept, observed or performed by each other Borrower will be performed at the time and in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. The payment and performance obligations set forth in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.” If a Borrower is released from its Obligations under the Loan in connection with a Release or a Substitution in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Borrower shall be released from the Guaranteed Obligations.

The guarantee of each of the Borrowers set forth in this Agreement is irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, and is one of payment and not just collection, and is subject only to the occurrence of a Default under the Loan Documents.

In any enforcement action against the Guaranteeing Borrower, Guaranteeing Borrower shall not assert or exercise against the Lender any right of setoff, recoupment, or counterclaim, whether such right is independent of, or derives from, the Borrower whose Default has given rise the enforcement action (the “ Defaulting Borrower ”).

No modification, limitation or discharge of any of the liabilities or obligations of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law initiated by or against the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower shall modify, limit, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of the Guaranteeing Borrower in any manner whatsoever, and the guarantee of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any such proceeding.

The Guaranteeing Borrower waives any right to require the Lender to: (i) proceed against the Defaulting Borrower or any other guarantor, (ii) proceed against any collateral, (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Lender’s power whatsoever, or (iv) notify the Guaranteeing Borrower of any default by the Defaulting Borrower in the payment of any amounts due under the Loan Documents or in the performance of any agreement of the Defaulting Borrower under the Loan Documents.

The Guaranteeing Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any of the following: (i) any disability or any counterclaim or right of set-off or other defense of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, (ii) any lack of authority of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents, (iii) the invalidity, illegality or lack of enforceability of the Loan Documents or any provision thereof from any cause whatsoever, including any action or inaction by the Lender, (iv) the failure of the Lender to perfect or maintain perfection of any security interest in any collateral, (v) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, (vi) that the Loan Documents shall be void or voidable as against the Defaulting Borrower, any other Borrower or any of the Defaulting Borrower’s or any other Borrower’s creditors, including a trustee in bankruptcy of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, by reason of any fact or circumstance, (vii) the delay or failure of the Lender to exercise any of its rights and remedies against the Defaulting Borrower, any other Borrower or any collateral or security for the Loan Documents or this Agreement, (viii) any event or circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guaranteeing Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Guaranteeing Borrower does not waive any defense arising from the due performance by the Defaulting

Borrower of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, (ix) all errors and omissions in connection with the Lender’s administration of all indebtedness guaranteed by this Agreement, except errors and omissions resulting from the Lender’s acts of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, (x) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, (xi) any act or omission of the Lender (except acts or omissions resulting from the Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) that changes the scope of the Guaranteeing Borrower’s or any other Borrower’s risk hereunder, and (xii) all other notices and demands otherwise required by law which the Guaranteeing Borrower may lawfully waive.

Until the payment of all amounts due under the Loan Documents and the performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions therein required to be kept, observed or performed by the other Borrowers, the Guaranteeing Borrower waives (i) any right to enforce any remedy that the Lender now has or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers, and (ii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lender.

The Guaranteeing Borrower waives all rights of subrogation against the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower, for the express purpose that the Guaranteeing Borrower shall not be deemed a “creditor” of the Defaulting Borrower or any other Borrower under applicable bankruptcy law with respect to the Defaulting Borrower’s or any other Borrower’s obligations to the Lender.

The Guaranteeing Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptances of this Agreement.

The Guaranteeing Borrower waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof.

The Guaranteeing Borrower hereby subordinates the payment and the time of payment of all indebtedness and obligations of the other Borrowers to the Guaranteeing Borrower of every kind and nature whatsoever whether now in existence or hereafter entered into (the “ Subordinated Indebtedness ”) to the payment of all obligations of the Guaranteeing Borrower under this Agreement. At such time as there is a Default, the Guaranteeing Borrower shall not receive any payment or distribution on account of, or accept any collateral or security for, or bring any action to collect, the Subordinated Indebtedness. The Guaranteeing Borrower shall not assign, transfer, pledge or dispose of the Subordinated Indebtedness while this Agreement is in effect.

If the Guaranteeing Borrower does receive any such payment or distribution, whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether or not under any state or federal bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, after a Default, then the Guaranteeing Borrower agrees and directs that any such payment or distribution shall be paid or delivered directly to the Lender for application to the obligations of the Guaranteeing Borrower under this Agreement (whether due or not and in such order and manner as the Lender may elect). If any such payment or distribution is received by the Guaranteeing Borrower after a Default, the Guaranteeing Borrower will deliver the same to the Lender, and until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guaranteeing Borrower as property of the Lender. As further assurance of the authorization herein given, the Guaranteeing Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Lender any power of attorney, assignment, endorsement, or other instrument as may be requested by the Lender to enable the Lender to enforce any claims upon the Subordinated Indebtedness and to collect and receive any payment or distribution with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness. The Guaranteeing Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Lender to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness and to file claims and take such other proceedings in the name of the Lender or in the name of the Guaranteeing

6. PREPAYMENTS, RELEASES AND TRANSFERS
6.1 Prepayments

The Borrowers shall have the collective right to voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part only by remitting to the Lender an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the Loan by $500,000 or more.

any of which may be waived from time to time. Neither any Borrower nor any other Obligor shall have any right to assign any of its rights under this Agreement or the Loan Documents to any party whatsoever.

8.8 Interpretation
(a) Headings and General Application

The section, subsection, paragraph and subparagraph headings of this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of the sections, subsections, paragraphs or subparagraphs. If the text requires, words used in the singular shall be read as including the plural, and pronouns of any gender shall include all genders.

(b) Sole Discretion

The Lender may take any action or decide any matter under the terms of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (including any consent, approval, acceptance, option, election or authorization) in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or for no reason, unless the related Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary. Any approval or consent which the Lender might withhold may be conditioned in any way.

(c) Result of Negotiations

This Agreement results from negotiations between the Borrowers and the Lender and from their mutual efforts. Therefore, it shall be so construed, and not as though it had been prepared solely by the Lender.

(d) Reference to Particulars

The scope of a general statement made in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall not be construed as having been reduced through the inclusion of references to particular items that would be included within the statement’s scope. Therefore, unless the relevant provision of a Loan Document contains specific language to the contrary, the term “include” shall mean “include, but shall not be limited to” and the term “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.”

8.9 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

8.10 Adjustment of Obligations

If any Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness becomes subject to avoidance under any fraudulent transfer law, including Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable laws of the State of Delaware, the State of Illinois or the State of Wisconsin, then the Indebtedness for which such Borrower will be liable and the amount of the Indebtedness for which its Parcel will constitute security will be limited to the largest amount that would not be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such fraudulent transfer laws. Further, at any time at the Lender’s sole option, the Lender may record among the applicable land records a complete or partial termination of any Mortgage evidencing the Lender’s election to treat such Mortgage as null and void with respect to one or more or all of the Parcels (a “ Terminated Parcel ”). Each Borrower, at the Lender’s request, must join in any such termination or partial termination, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the

Plymouth Industrial REIT Continues Improvement of its Capital Structure with $78 Million Refinancing of Variable Rate Debt on Chicago Portfolio

 

BOSTON—(July 16, 2018) Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: PLYM) today announced that it has closed on a new 10-year $78.0 million loan from Transamerica Life Insurance Company with a fixed interest rate of 4.35% and secured by 18 Chicago area properties. The proceeds of the loan, together with additional working capital, were used to repay in full the Company’s $79.8 million variable rate secured term loan from GS Special Situations Group scheduled to mature in December 2019 with a floating interest rate of 310 basis points over LIBOR. The previous loan was used to partially fund Plymouth’s acquisition of a 15-property industrial portfolio in the greater Chicago area from a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs in November 2017.

 

Daniel Wright, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “With this refinancing, we have 80% of our total debt at fixed rates maturing over the next 5 to 10 years with a weighted average interest rate of 4.13%. The new loan also results in annual direct interest savings in excess of $600,000.”

 

Jeff Witherell, Plymouth’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, added, “We have made great strides in 2018 to improve our capital structure. With this refinancing and the May 2018 prepayment of our mezzanine debt through KeyBank, we have significantly reduced our cost of debt while eliminating most of our variable rate debt exposure.”
