Purchase and Sale Agreement with B2K Smithtown LLC

 

On July 30, 2025, GSD Flowerfield LLC, a New York limited liability company (“GSD”) wholly-owned by the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “B2K Agreement”) for the sale of an approximately 49 acre parcel of vacant land to B2K Smithtown LLC (“B2K”), an affiliate of B2K Development LLC, which property forms a portion of the Company’s Flowerfield complex in St. James, New York, for a purchase price of between $24,000,000 and $28,740,000, subject to conditions and contingencies set forth in the B2K Agreement. Included among the conditions set forth in the B2K Agreement is receipt of subdivision and site plan approval. Based on the terms of the B2K Agreement, we estimate the gross value of the B2K Agreement is $28,740,000, contingent on a pending site plan submission, which we believe will be approved by the Smithtown Planning Department. Under the terms of the B2K Agreement, the Company is required to issue B2K a credit at closing for the industrial park’s proportionate share of costs for a sewer treatment plant (“STP”) and on-site infrastructure costs aggregating $4,020,222, which is included in the Company’s estimated costs in excess of receipts. The incremental value impact, if any, to the industrial building lots associated with access to an on-site STP is not estimable at this time as it is contingent on many unknown factors, including but not limited to the markets assessment of the probability of closing of the B2K transaction, timing for completion of the STP, and the future associated market demand for suite usage requiring an STP amenity.

 

Among other provisions, the B2K Agreement provides for: (i) an earnest money deposit of $250,000 to be delivered to the escrow agent, subject to a 90-day investigation period, during which time B2K will have the right to terminate the B2K Agreement by written notice to GSD if B2K will not be fully satisfied, in B2K’s sole discretion, as to the status of title, suitability of the Premises and all factors concerning same, prior to the expiration of the investigation period, in which case B2K will have the right to receive a refund of its earnest money deposit; and (ii) unless B2K terminates the B2K Agreement on or prior to the end of the investigation period (the “Investigation Period Notice Date”), the closing to occur on the earlier of: (A) that certain date that is no later than eight (8) months after the Town of Smithtown grants Site Plan Approval (as defined in the B2K Agreement), or (B) sixty (60) days after B2K waives the Site Plan Approval contingency. Such closing date is estimated to occur no later than October 2028 or alternatively by June 30 2029 if B2K exercises both of its site plan extension options. Based on the above, the Company is extending its estimated timeline to complete the liquidation to December 31, 2028.

 

The B2K Agreement is also contingent on the receipt of Subdivision Approval (as defined in the B2K Agreement) and B2K obtaining, at B2K’s sole cost and expense, certain other required approvals (the “Approvals”) beyond all relevant appeal periods within 18 months following the later of: (i) a designated number of days following the Investigation Period Notice Date or (ii) a designated number of days following the issuance of Subdivision Approval (the “Approval Period”).

 

If B2K fails to obtain the Approvals prior to the expiration of the Approval Period (subject to certain extension rights), B2K may terminate the B2K Agreement or waive the foregoing approval contingencies and close title within 60 days.

 

The B2K Agreement also contains additional customary covenants, conditions, representations and warranties.

 

The foregoing description of the B2K Agreement is only a summary of its material terms, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the B2K Agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on August 4, 2025.

 

On October 28, 2025, the Company entered into the first amendment to the B2K Agreement which extends the investigation period to December 5, 2025.

 

On January 6, 2026, the Company entered into the second amendment to the B2K Agreement which among other provisions provides as follows:

 

 

On-Site Improvements. At closing, the Company will credit B2K $1,520,222 toward the purchase price for specified on-site improvements to Lots 1 and 3 of Flowerfield (which is in addition to the $2.5 million cap for the Company’s proportionate share of the STP as reflected in the original agreement), with no increase if additional work is required.B2K will be responsible for constructing all common facilities and offsite improvements, while the Company will use commercially reasonable effects to cooperate by providing access at no cost to the Company.

 

Investigation Period. The parties acknowledge that the investigation period, as extended, has expired and that B2K’s right to terminate the Agreement under Section 3.1(D) of the Agreement is null and void and of no further force nor effect.
