MVP REIT, Inc. (CVE:MVP) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on April 28, 2017, the special committee
of the board of directors of MVP REIT, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the “Company” or “MVP I”), accepted a
non-binding Letter of Intent from the special committee of the
board of directors of MVP REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(“MVP II”), setting forth the terms and conditions upon which
MVP II proposed to acquire the Company and its subsidiaries.
On May 26, 2017, the Company, MVP II, MVP Merger Sub, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of MVP II (“Merger Sub”), and MVP Realty Advisors, LLC, the
Company’s and MVP II’s external advisor (the “Advisor”),
entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger
Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger
Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub (the
“Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger (the
“Surviving Entity”), such that following the Merger, the
Surviving Entity will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of
MVP II. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization”
under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at
the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the
Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
“Company Common Stock”), will be automatically cancelled and
retired, and converted into the right to receive 0.365 shares of
common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of MVP II (“MVP II
Common Stock”) (such ratio, as it may be adjusted to the Merger
Agreement, the “Exchange Ratio”). Holders of shares of Company
Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Each share of Company Common Stock, if any, then held by any
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company or by MVP II or any of its
wholly owned subsidiaries will no longer be outstanding and will
automatically be retired and will cease to exist, and no
consideration will be paid, nor will any other payment or right
inure or be made with respect to such shares of Company Common
Stock in connection with or as a consequence of the Merger. In
addition, each share of the Company’s Non-Participating,
Non-Voting Convertible Stock, $0.001 par value per share
(“Company Convertible Stock”), all 1,000 of which are held by
the Advisor, will automatically be retired and will cease to
exist, and no consideration will be paid, nor will any other
payment or right inure or be made with respect to such shares of
Company Convertible Stock in connection with or as a consequence
of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains customary covenants, including
covenants prohibiting the Company and its subsidiaries and
representatives from soliciting, providing information or
entering into discussions concerning proposals relating to
alternative business combination transactions, subject to certain
limited exceptions. However, under the terms of the Merger
Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of the Merger
Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on
July 10, 2017 (the “Go Shop Period End Time”), the Company
(through the Company special committee and its representatives)
may initiate, solicit, provide information and enter into
discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business
combination transactions. For up to five business days after the
Go Shop Period End Time, the Company may continue to participate
in such discussions with a Go Shop Bidder (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) and may, subject to certain conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement regarding the proposal made by such
Go Shop Bidder, terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into an
agreement with a Go Shop Bidder with respect to the proposal made
by such Go Shop Bidder. The Merger Agreement also provides that,
at any time beginning on the sixth business day after the Go Shop
Period End Time and prior to the approval by the Company’s
stockholders of the Merger and the Charter Amendment (described
below) (such approvals, the “Stockholder Approvals”), the board
of directors of the Company may, in certain circumstances, make
an Adverse Recommendation Change (as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement), subject to complying with certain conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
to the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of MVP II (the
“MVP II Board”) will, effective as of the effective time of the
Merger, increase the number of directors comprising the MVP II
Board to eight and Nicholas Nilsen, Robert J. Aalberts and Shawn
Nelson will be elected to the MVP II Board.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain
circumstances, including, but not limited to, by either the
Company or MVP II (in each case, through their respective special
committees) if the Merger has not been consummated on or before
December 31, 2017, if a final and non-appealable order is entered
permanently restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, if
the Stockholder Approvals have not been obtained or upon a
material uncured breach by the other party that would cause the
closing conditions in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied.
In addition, the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement (i)
if the Company has properly accepted a “Superior Proposal” (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) from a Go Shop Bidder within
five business days of the Go Shop Period End Time to the terms of
the Merger Agreement or (ii) if the Company has properly accepted
a “Superior Proposal” from a Go Shop Bidder at any time
beginning on the sixth business day after the Go Shop Period End
Time and prior to receipt of the Stockholder Approvals to the
terms of the Merger
Agreement. MVP II may terminate the Merger Agreement at any time
following the date that is five business days after the Go Shop
Period End Time and prior to the receipt of the Stockholder
Approvals upon (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) the
Company’s board of directors approving, adopting or publicly
endorsing an Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement), (iii) the failure of the Company’s board of
directors to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer for
shares of the Company Common Stock that constitutes an
Acquisition Proposal, (iv) the failure of the Company’s board of
directors to include its recommendation in favor of the Merger
and the Charter Amendment in the proxy statement to be
distributed to the Company’s stockholders or (v) the Company’s
material violation of the provisions of the Merger Agreement
concerning solicitation of transactions.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated in connection with the
Company’s acceptance of a Superior Proposal, approval of an
Acquisition Proposal or making an Adverse Recommendation Change
at any time beginning on the sixth business day after the Go Shop
Period End Time, then the Company must pay to MVP II a
termination fee of $1,500,000 plus an expense reimbursement fee
of up to $500,000. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in
connection with the Company’s acceptance of a Superior Proposal
within five business days of the Go Shop Period End Time, then
the Company must pay to MVP II a termination fee of $750,000 plus
an expense reimbursement fee of up to $500,000.
The Merger Agreement contains certain representations and
warranties made by the parties thereto. The representations and
warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement and
are subject to certain important qualifications and limitations
set forth in confidential disclosure letters delivered by each of
the Company and MVP II. Moreover, the representations and
warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality
that may be different from what may be viewed as material to
stockholders.
The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is subject
to a number of conditions, including receipt of the Stockholder
Approvals, receipt of regulatory approvals, delivery of certain
documents and consents, the truth and correctness of the
representations and warranties of the parties, subject to the
materiality standards contained in the Merger Agreement, the
effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be
filed by MVP II to register the shares of MVP II Common Stock to
be issued as consideration in the Merger and the absence of a
material adverse effect with respect to either the Company or MVP
II.
In connection with the Merger, the Company intends to seek the
approval of its stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s
charter to remove certain provisions regarding roll-up
transactions (such amendment, the “Charter Amendment”). to the
Merger Agreement, approval by the Company’s stockholders of the
Charter Amendment is a condition to completing the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is only a
summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement,
which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, the
Company, the Advisor, MVP II and MVP REIT II Operating
Partnership, LP entered into a termination and fee agreement (the
“Termination Agreement”). to the Termination Agreement, at the
effective time of the Merger, the Advisory Agreement, dated
September 25, 2012, as amended, among the Company and the Advisor
will be terminated and MVP II will pay the Advisor an Advisor
Acquisition Payment (as such term is defined in the Termination
Agreement) of approximately $3.6 million, subject to adjustment
in the event that additional properties are acquired by the
Company prior to closing, which shall be the only fee payable to
the Advisor in connection with the Merger. In the event that the
Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the
Merger, the Termination Agreement will automatically terminate
and be of no further effect and no Advisor Acquisition Payment
will be owed or payable.
The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement is only a
summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Termination
Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 26, 2017, the board of directors of the Company approved
an amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws (the
