NOTE 18—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From January 1, 2016 through March 10, 2016, the Partnership purchased a total of 10,829 Depositary Receipts. The average price was $50.11 per receipt or $1,503.26 per unit. The total cost was $558,722. The Partnership is required to repurchase 86 Class B Units and 5 General Partnership Units at a cost of $128,874 and $6,783 respectively.

On January 7, 2016, Residences at Captain Parker, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Captain Parker”) entered into a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (the “Lender”). The manager of Captain Parker is NewReal, Inc. (“New Real”), the general partner of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”).  The Partnership is the sole member of Captain Parker. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan (the “Loan”) in the principal amount of $20,071,000.  The Loan is due on February 1, 2026 (the “Due Date”), unless the due date is accelerated in accordance with the Loan’s terms.  The proceeds of the Loan are being used to refinance existing indebtedness. The Partnership is a limited guarantor of certain of the Captain Parker obligations under the Loan Agreement.

 

Borrowings under the Loan will bear interest at rates equal to (i) the one month LIBOR rate for United States Dollar Deposits, determined monthly, plus 201 basis points. The interest rate increases upon an event of default. 

 

Captain Parker is required to repay the aggregate principal amount of the Loan by the Due Date. Interest payments on the Loans are payable monthly in arrears on specified dates set forth in the Loan Agreement. Principal payments on the Loan are also payable monthly commencing on March 1, 2021.  The note issued by Captain Parker in connection with the Loan Agreement (the “Note”) also contains provisions for optional prepayment with a penalty under certain circumstances.

 

The Loan is secured by, among other things, the Captain Parker Arms, a 94 unit apartment complex located at 7 Captain Parker Arms, Lexington, Massachusetts, previously acquired by Captain Parker and the rents that Captain Parker receives for the property.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants applicable to special purpose entities. The covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on:   (i) liens, (ii) dispositions of assets and (iii) mergers and consolidations.

 

The Loan Agreement and Note contain customary events of default, including a limited cross default provision and change of control provisions.

 

As a result of securing the financing, the Partnership used the proceeds of the loan and cash reserves of the Partnership to paydown the Line of Credit to zero. A payment was made on January 7, 2016 for $23,000,000, and another payment for $2,000,000 was made on January 15, 2016.
