ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL AGREEMENT
On August 18, 2025, Educational Development Corporation (“EDC”, the “Company” or “Seller”) executed a Commercial Real Estate Sale Contract (“Contract”) with a Buyer for the Company’s headquarters and distribution warehouse located at 5400-5402 South 122nd East Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146 (the “Hilti Complex”).
The agreed upon sale price of the Hilti Complex per the executed Contract totaled $32,500,000. The proceeds from the sale will be utilized to pay off the Term Loans and Revolving Loan outstanding in the Credit Agreement with the Company’s Bank. At closing, EDC will assign the existing third-party tenant leases to the Buyer and will execute a separate Triple-Net Lease (the “Lease”) for its occupied space in the Hilti Complex. The Agreement provides the buyer with an initial due diligence period of 45 days to complete inspections after which the earnest money in the agreement becomes non-refundable. The Buyer will then have 45 days to complete the purchase.
The terms of the lease will be 10 years, and the initial lease rate will be $8.00 per square foot, with 2.5% annual escalations. The Seller will also have two five-year renewal and extension options with 2.5% increases annually in the base rental rate of the preceding year. The Lease will also include triple-net terms, where the Seller and other tenants will be responsible for utilities, insurance, property taxes, and regular maintenance..
The foregoing descriptions are a summary of the material terms of the Contract and are not complete. These descriptions are qualified in all respects subject to the actual provisions of the sale Contract and Lease with the Buyer.
