Note A — Organization and Business Operations

 

The Parking REIT, Inc., formerly known as MVP REIT II, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a Maryland corporation formed on May 4, 2015 and has elected to be taxed, and subject to the discussion below under the heading Income Taxes in Note B, has operated in a manner that allowed the Company to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2019. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has entered into temporary lease amendments with some of its tenants. The income generated under these lease amendments do not constitute qualifying REIT income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests, and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with the annual REIT income tests for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. These REIT income tests are measured on an annual basis, and we are evaluating options and strategies that may enable us to maintain our REIT status for our taxable year ending December 31, 2020 notwithstanding our inability to comply with these income tests in the past two quarters. If implemented, these options and strategies, may have negative ancillary impacts on our business and operations, including potentially increasing our overall tax liability. If we determine that the potential negative impacts of these options outweigh the benefits of potentially maintaining our REIT status, we may choose not to implement any of these options. Moreover, even if we choose to implement any of these options, no assurances can be given that our implementation will be successful or that these options will in fact enable us to maintain our status as a REIT for our taxable year ending December 31, 2020. Accordingly, unless we choose, and are able, to successfully implement an alternative operating strategy, it is highly likely that the Company will no longer qualify as a REIT for the year ending December 31, 2020. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, we would no longer be required to make distributions of our annual taxable income in order to maintain our REIT status and any distributions we make would not be deductible. Moreover, unless entitled to relief under specific statutory or administrative provisions, we would be ineligible to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years following 2020. We believe that we may not be entitled to this statutory relief, and there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such relief.

 

The Company was formed to focus primarily on investments in parking facilities, including parking lots, parking garages and other parking structures throughout the United States and Canada. To a lesser extent, the Company may also invest in parking properties that contain other sources of rental income, potentially including office, retail, storage, residential, billboard or cell towers.

 

The Company is the sole general partner of MVP REIT II Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MVP REIT II Holdings, LLC, is the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership. The operating agreement provides that the Operating Partnership is operated in a manner that enables the Company to (1) satisfy the requirements to qualify and maintain qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability and (3) ensure that the Operating Partnership is not classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which classification could result in the Operating Partnership being taxed as a corporation.

 

The Company utilizes an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) structure to enable the Company to acquire real property in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership from owners who desire to defer taxable gain that would otherwise normally be recognized by them upon the disposition of their real property or transfer of their real property to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock or cash.

 

The Company’s former advisor is MVP Realty Advisors, LLC, dba The Parking REIT Advisors (the “former Advisor”), a Nevada limited liability company, which is owned 60% by Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. (“VRM II”) and 40% by Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. (“VRM I”). Prior to the Internalization (as defined below), the former Advisor was responsible for managing the Company’s affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making investments on the Company’s behalf pursuant to a second amended and restated advisory agreement among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the former Advisor (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”), which became effective upon consummation of the Merger (as such term is defined below). VRM II and VRM I are Maryland corporations that trade on the OTC pink sheets and were managed by Vestin Mortgage, LLC, an affiliate of the former Advisor, prior to being internalized in January 2018.

 

As part of the Company’s initial capitalization, 8,000 shares of common stock were sold for $200,000 to an affiliate of the former Advisor (as defined below).

 

Merger of MVP REIT with Merger Sub, LLC

 

On May 26, 2017, the Company, MVP REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“MVP I”), MVP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and the former Advisor entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which MVP I would merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). On December 15, 2017, the Merger was consummated. Following the Merger, the Company contributed 100% of its equity interests in Merger Sub to the Operating Partnership.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of MVP I common stock, par value $0.001 per share, that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (the “MVP I Common Stock”), was converted into the right to receive 0.365 shares of Company common stock. A total of approximately 3.9 million shares of Company common stock were issued to former MVP I stockholders, and former MVP I stockholders, immediately following the Merger, owned approximately 59.7% of the Company's common stock. The Company was subsequently renamed “The Parking REIT, Inc.”
