Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

In Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 14, 2022, February 28, 2022, March 21, 2022, April 25, 2022, May 2, 2022, May 27, 2022 and July 7, 2022 (each an “Acquisition 8-K” and collectively, the “Acquisition 8-Ks”), The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), reported, among other things, the acquisition through multiple closings, of 81 properties from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Sellers”) pursuant to a contract described below. A total of 56 properties were acquired through March 31, 2022 and 25 properties remained probable as of that date. On April 8, 2022, in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Initial Form 8-K/A”), the Company amended and supplemented the Acquisition 8-Ks that were filed on February 14, 2022, February 28, 2022 and March 21, 2022 to provide, among other things, the historical financial statements and unaudited pro forma information required by Item 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K with respect to the 56 acquired properties reported on those Acquisition 8-Ks.  As disclosed in the Acquisition 8-Ks filed on April 25, 2022, May 2, 2022, May 27, 2022 and July 7, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the 25 remaining properties from the Sellers. On June 24, 2022, in a Current report on Form 8-K/A (the “Second Form 8-K/A”), the Company amended and supplemented the Acquisition 8-Ks that were filed on April 25, 2022, May 2, 2022 and May 27, 2022 to provide, among other things, the historical financial statements and unaudited pro forma information required by Item 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K with respect to the 80 acquired properties reported on those Acquisition 8-Ks. All of the properties have been acquired as of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K provides historical financial statements and unaudited pro forma information required by Item 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K for the Acquired CIM Properties (defined below) and reported on those Acquisition 8-Ks and should be read in conjunction with all of the Acquisition 8-Ks, the Initial Form 8-K/A and the Second Form 8-K/A.

  

As previously disclosed, on December 17, 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, The Necessity Retail REIT Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire, in the aggregate, 81 properties (together, the “CIM Portfolio”), from the Sellers for approximately $1.3 billion. The CIM Portfolio consists of 79 power centers and grocery-anchored multi-tenant retail centers, two single-tenant retail properties and a detention pond parcel, located across 27 states and aggregating approximately 9.5 million square feet. As of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has acquired 81 power centers and grocery-anchored multi-tenant retail centers and a detention pond parcel at an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 billion including debt assumption of $352.8 million but excluding closing costs (the “Acquired CIM Properties”).

 

The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide the following financial information with respect to the Acquired CIM Properties: (1) the Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses of the Acquired CIM Properties for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (including the notes thereto) attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and (2) the Company’s Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements, which include the Company’s Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022 (including the notes thereto) and the Company’s Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (including the notes thereto), giving effect to the Acquired CIM Properties attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The Company’s Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company are qualified in their entirety and should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements of the Acquired CIM Properties for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company’s Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of certain assumptions and estimates described in the notes thereto and are subject to other uncertainties and do not purport to reflect what the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company would have been had the Acquired CIM Properties been acquired on the dates assumed for purposes of such pro forma financial statements or to be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the Company as of or for any future date or period. Additionally, the acquisition accounting used in preparing the pro forma adjustments included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are preliminary, and accordingly, the pro forma adjustments may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between these preliminary analyses and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements and the Company’s future results of operations and financial position giving effect to the acquisition of the Acquired CIM Properties. For further information, see Exhibit 99.2.

 

The statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to be materially different. The words “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the potential adverse effects of (i) the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, and (ii) the geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including related sanctions and other penalties imposed by the U.S. and European Union, and the related impact on the Company, the Company’s tenants and the global economy and financial markets, as well as those risks and uncertainties set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on February 24, 2022 and all other filings with the SEC after that date, as such risks, uncertainties and other important factors may be updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent reports. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required to do so by law.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

 

Note 1 — Organization

 

On December 17, 2021, American Finance Trust, Inc. (now known as “The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc.”), a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, American Finance Operating Partnership L.P. (now known as “The Necessity Retail REIT Operating Partnership L.P.”), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire, in the aggregate, 81 properties (the “CIM Portfolio”), from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Sellers”) for approximately $1.3 billion (the “Purchase Price”). The acquisition of the CIM Portfolio is referred to herein as the “Transaction” or the “Transactions.” The CIM Portfolio consists of 79 power centers and grocery-anchored multi-tenant retail centers, two single-tenant retail properties and a detention pond parcel, located across 27 states and aggregating approximately 9.5 million square feet. The 79 power or grocery-anchored centers are leased primarily to “necessity-based” retail tenants. Upon the closing of the Transactions, the Operating Partnership will acquire all of the rights, titles and interests in each of the acquired CIM Portfolio properties owned by the applicable Sellers. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company closed on 80 properties and subsequent to June 30, 2022 the Company closed on one property.

 

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the CIM Portfolio has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the provisions of SEC Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, which require certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC. The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the CIM Portfolio includes the combined historical revenues and certain expenses of the CIM Portfolio for the 80 properties acquired as of June 30, 2022 (includes revenues and certain expenses from January 1, 2022 through the respective property acquisition dates in the six months ended June 30, 2022) and the one property acquired subsequent to June 30, 2022 (together, the “Acquired Properties”).

 

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the CIM Portfolio is exclusive of items which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the CIM Portfolio subsequent to its acquisition by the Company. Material amounts that would not be directly attributable to future operating results of the CIM Portfolio are excluded, and the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses are not intended to be a complete presentation of the CIM Portfolio’s revenues and expenses. Items excluded consist primarily of interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense recorded in conjunction with the original purchase price accounting.

 

The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim period includes all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the CIM Portfolio’s results of operations and the Company is not aware of any other material factors that would cause the financial statements not to be indicative of future operating results. The results of operations for the unaudited interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of full year results of operations.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and certain expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from tenants is recognized on a straight-line basis. As such, the rental revenue for those leases that contain rent abatements and contractual increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable terms of the related lease.

 

Property Operating Expense

 

Property operating expense represents the direct expenses of operating the properties and consist primarily of repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, management fees, insurance, utilities and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in the proposed future operations of the properties.

 

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. There is no material litigation nor to management’s knowledge is any material litigation currently threatened against the property other than routine litigation, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

 

Note 5 — Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 9, 2022, the date on which the statement of revenues and certain expenses has been issued and has determined that there have not been any events that have occurred that would require adjustments to, or disclosure in, this financial statement.

THE NECESSITY RETAIL REIT, INC.

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

On December 17, 2021, The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("RTL" or the "Company”) and its subsidiary, Necessity Retail REIT Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire, in the aggregate, 81 properties (the “CIM Portfolio”), from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Sellers”) for approximately $1.3 billion (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment if certain of the existing tenants that have rights of first refusal to purchase an underlying property exercise those rights, if the Operating Partnership exercises limited rights to exclude certain properties not exceeding $200 million in value from those being acquired or if earn out amounts associated with certain leases are satisfied. The acquisition of the CIM Portfolio is referred to herein as the “Transaction” or the “Transactions.” The CIM Portfolio consists of 79 power centers and grocery-anchored multi-tenant retail centers, two single-tenant retail properties and a detention pond parcel, located across 27 states and aggregating approximately 9.5 million square feet. The 79 power and grocery-anchored centers are leased primarily to “necessity-based” retail tenants. Upon the closing of the Transactions, of which 80 properties were acquired in six closings as of June 30, 2022 and one property was acquired subsequent to June 30, 2022 (collectively, the "Acquired Properties"), the Operating Partnership has acquired all of the right, title and interest in each of the properties acquired in the CIM Portfolio owned by the applicable Sellers, which include certain leasehold interests in land parcels. The Company determined that the Transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions.

 

As previously announced, the Company expected to fund the Purchase Price through a combination, to be determined at each closing, of cash on the balance sheet, including net proceeds of $254.5 million from the sale of its Sanofi asset, borrowings under the Company’s credit facility, as well as debt currently encumbering certain of the properties that the Operating Partnership will seek to assume, and the issuance of $53.4 million in value of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Class A Common Stock”) to the Sellers. The Company funded the acquisition of the 81 properties with borrowings under its Credit Facility of $513.0 million, cash on hand of $365.8 million, which included net proceeds from the sale of its Sanofi asset and remaining proceeds from the issuance of its Senior Notes, the issuance of 6,450,107 shares of the Company's Class A common stock with a value of $53.4 million, the application of its $40.0 million deposit and the assumption of $352.8 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt.

 

The acquisition accounting includes certain valuations which have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments included herein are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information, and may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between the preliminary estimates reflected in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 included herein includes the impacts of the sale of the Company's Sanofi property (closed on January 6, 2022), the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the CIM Acquisition. The Company believes it is appropriate to make these adjustments since the completion of these transactions, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, provided the capacity needed under the Company's Credit Facility to fund a portion of the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 is presented as if the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio and other significant capital transactions were completed on June 30, 2022. Accordingly, this includes one property that was acquired subsequent to June 30, 2022 (the "Property Acquired Subsequent to June 30, 2022").

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented as if the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio and other significant capital transactions were completed on January 1, 2021. The historical results of RTL for the six months ended June 30, 2022 include the operating results of the 80 properties acquired in six closings as of June 30, 2022 from their respective acquisition dates through June 30, 2022. Also, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes adjustments for the pre-acquisition period historical operating results of the 80 properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the full year-to-date historical operating results of the Property Acquired Subsequent to June 30, 2022 (the "Acquired Property Results Not Included in June 30, 2022 RTL").

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 is presented as if the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio and other significant capital transactions were completed on January 1, 2021. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes adjustments for the full-year historical operating results for all 81 properties that have been acquired (the "Acquired Property Results Not Included in December 31, 2021 RTL").

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (including notes thereto) of the Company are qualified in their entirety and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2022 and the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and related notes thereto, included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2022. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company are qualified in their entirety and should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements of the CIM Portfolio for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company's Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 8, 2022, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and the related notes thereto. The combined financial statements of the CIM Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are included as part of this Form 8-K in Exhibit 99.1. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position and operating results would have been had the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio and the other significant capital transactions occurred on June 30, 2022 and January 1, 2021, respectively, nor are they indicative of future operating results of the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022:

 

(A)Reflects the historical consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (filed with the SEC on August 4, 2022), and only includes operating results from the respective property acquisition dates through June 30, 2022 for the 80 properties acquired in the first six months of 2022.

 

(B)Represents the historical operating results from January 1, 2022 through the respective property acquisition dates in the six months ended June 30, 2022 for the 80 properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the full six months historical operating results of the 1 Property Acquired Subsequent to June 30, 2022.

 

(C)This column represents pro forma accounting impacts of the acquisition of the CIM Portfolio as if the transaction was completed on January 1, 2021. For purposes of these pro forma financial statements, the Company has assumed that the transaction will be accounted for as an asset acquisition.

(E)This column reflects the removal of amounts related to the Company's Sanofi property, assumed to be sold on January 1, 2021 for the purposes of this pro forma financial statement. The sale closed in the first quarter of 2022.

 

(F)The pro forma weighted average common shares outstanding are calculated as if the issuance of the 6,450,107 shares that were issued to purchase the CIM Properties had occurred on January 1, 2021. These shares were issued in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

(G)Represents adjustments to estimated straight-line rent using the most recent data for lease terms, assuming an acquisition date of January 1, 2021 for all 81 properties of the CIM Portfolio acquisition.

(H)Represents the pro forma adjustment for depreciation and amortization expense, which is based on the Company’s basis in the assets that would have been recorded assuming the CIM Portfolio was acquired on January 1, 2021. Depreciation and amortization amounts were determined in accordance with the Company’s policies and are based on management’s valuation of the estimated useful lives of the property and intangibles. The amounts allocated to buildings and improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life (generally 40 years for buildings and 15 years or less for improvements), beginning on the assumed acquisition date of January 1, 2021, while the amounts allocated to lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases. The following table details the depreciation and amortization expense for all 81 properties of the CIM Acquisition:

Additional interest expense for actual borrowings under the Credit Facility through June 30, 2022 (3)   $ 488,000       2.51 %     Variable     $ 2,185  

   
(1) Represents estimated fair value of debt assumed for $313.8 million and $39.0 million of principal mortgage debt, respectively.

(2) Represents additional interest for the period from January 1, 2022 to the dates of the respective mortgage assumptions used to fund the acquisitions of the 80 properties completed during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Calculated using the weighted-average mortgage rates on the assumed mortgages during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(3) Represents additional interest for the period from January 1, 2022 to the dates of the respective borrowings under the Credit Facility used to fund the acquisitions of the 80 properties completed during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(J) The purchase and sale agreement included the planned issuance of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or Class A units in the Operating Partnership of up to $53.4 million in value. The number of shares issued (6,450,107) was based on the value of the shares that may have been issued divided by the per-share volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock measured over a five-day consecutive trading period immediately preceding (but not including) the date on which written notice is delivered, indicating the seller’s election to receive either shares or units, to the Operating Partnership (the price of which is to be limited by a 7.5% collar in either direction from the per share volume weighted-average price of the Company’s Class A common stock measured over a ten-day consecutive trading period immediately preceding (but not including) the effective date of the PSA, which was $8.34 per share. The Company concluded that this arrangement constituted an embedded derivative which requires separate accounting. The initial value of the embedded derivative was an asset upon the signing of the PSA of $1.7 million, and was a liability of $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021 in the Company’s balance sheet. Upon consummation, the stock portion of the transaction closed at values which were within the collar and accordingly, the liability for the derivative at closing should be reduced from $2.3 million to zero. The adjusted loss represents the original value of the embedded derivative (which is also part of purchase accounting). This is expected to be a non-recurring loss.

The number of shares issued (6,450,107) was based on the value of the shares that may have been issued divided by the per-share volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A common stock measured over a five-day consecutive trading period immediately preceding (but not including) the date on which written notice is delivered, indicating the seller’s election to receive either shares or units, to the Operating Partnership (the price of which is to be limited by a 7.5% collar in either direction from the per share volume weighted-average price of the Company’s Class A common stock measured over a ten-day consecutive trading period immediately preceding (but not including) the effective date of the PSA, which was $8.34 per share. The Company concluded that this arrangement constituted an embedded derivative which requires separate accounting. The initial value of the embedded derivative was an asset upon the signing of the PSA of $1.7 million, and was a liability of $2.3 million as of December 31, 2021 in the Company’s balance sheet. Upon consummation, the stock portion of the transaction closed at values which were within the collar and accordingly, the liability for the derivative at closing should be reduced from $2.3 million to zero. The adjusted loss represents the original value of the embedded derivative (which is also part of purchase accounting). This is expected to be a non-recurring loss.
