The Transaction is anticipated to close on or about January 18, 2018. The cash consideration for the Transaction will be funded with $16 million from the Partnership’s Series 2017-1 note securitization site acquisition account and the remainder from borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and available cash. The portfolio of tenant sites to be acquired in the Transaction have an average remaining real property interest term of approximately 78 years and lease term of approximately 22 years (including remaining renewal options).

The terms of the Transaction are set forth in the Contribution Agreement by and among LD 13, Fund H, Landmark and the Partnership and the Asset Purchase Agreement by and among LD 13, Fund H, Landmark and Landmark Infrastructure Operating Company LLC (“OpCo”), dated January 11, 2018 (the “Agreements”).

The Agreements generally contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Partnership, OpCo, Landmark, Fund H and LD 13. Fund H, LD 13 and Landmark, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and the Partnership or OpCo, as the case may be, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and other representatives against certain losses resulting from any breach of their representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Agreements, subject to certain limitations and survival periods. The indemnity obligations of Fund H, LD 13 and Landmark generally terminate one year from closing of the Transaction; provided, however that certain of these indemnity obligations do not terminate until 60 days after the applicable statute of limitations.

Fund H, LD 13, OpCo and the Partnership are affiliates of Landmark. As a result, certain individuals, including officers of Landmark and officers and directors of the General Partner, serve as officers and/or directors of one or more of such entities. Landmark, after giving effect to the issuance of Common Units as part of the Transaction, will own an approximate 14% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Landmark also owns a 50% interest in the General Partner, which owns the non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights.
