Note 17 - Sale and Leaseback of Premises

 

On January 30, 2024, the Bank entered into an agreement for the purchase and sale of real property (the "Sale Agreement") with Mountainseed Real Estate Services, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Mountainseed"), providing for the Bank’s sale to Mountainseed of up to six properties (the "Properties"). All of the Properties are currently operated as branches and located in Clallam County, Washington or Jefferson County, Washington. Upon signing the agreement, the Company classified the related properties as held for sale and presented them separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost, net of accumulated amortization.

 

The sale of all six properties was completed on May 7, 2024, for an aggregate cash sales price of $14.7 million. A pre-tax gain on sale of $7.9 million was recorded in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024. Premises and equipment, net of depreciation, decreased by $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Concurrent with the closing of the sale of the Properties, the Bank entered into triple net lease agreements (the "Lease Agreements") to lease back each of the Properties sold. Each Lease Agreement has an initial term of 15 years with one 15-year renewal option. Going forward, a monthly rent expense of $130,000 in the aggregate for all Properties will be recorded in Occupancy and Equipment. The total estimated rent expense for the leaseback of these properties for 2024 is $1.0 million. The annual increase in rent is expected to be partially offset by the elimination of annualized depreciation expense on the buildings of $204,000. The executed Lease Agreements also generated ROU assets totaling $12.2 million and lease liabilities of $12.2 million resulting in increases to other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets that was recorded during the second quarter of 2024.
