Volt Information Sciences Completes Sale of Office Properties
Sale of company-owned real estate in Orange and San Diego, CA generates aggregate net cash proceeds of $29 million;
Orange facility to remain occupied by Volt in sale-leaseback transaction
NEW YORK, NY, March 8, 2016 - Volt Information Sciences, Inc. ("Volt" or "the Company") (NYSE-MKT:VISI),
an international provider of staffing services and information technology infrastructure services, today announced it has completed a sale-leaseback transaction for its office property in Orange, CA with Glassell Acquisition Partners LLC, a limited liability company formed by Hines, a global real estate investment management firm, and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P. The facility is currently utilized by Volt. In addition, the Company also completed the sale of its idle office facility in San Diego to a private commercial real estate investor.
The Orange, CA facility comprises four buildings totaling approximately 191,000 square feet of Class A office space. Terms of the transaction included a $35.9 million purchase price and a concurrent leaseback agreement with an initial term of 15 years, plus multiple renewal options. The property will continue to house approximately 400 Volt employees. After the repayment of mortgage indebtedness on the property along with transaction-related expenses and fees, Volt received net cash proceeds of approximately $27.1 million from the sale of the property.
The San Diego, CA office facility has approximately 19,000 square feet and generated a purchase price of $2.1 million. There was no mortgage on the property and net proceeds to Volt, after transaction-related expenses and fees, totaled $2.0 million.
"We are pleased to announce the completion of the sale-leaseback of the Orange facility and the sale of the idle office property in San Diego", said Michael Dean, Volt's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The divestiture of non-core assets, including real estate, is a key aspect of our initiative to streamline Volt's corporate structure and operational focus. Importantly, aggregate net cash proceeds of $29 million from the transactions, along with other actions to strengthen our balance sheet, have significantly improved our financial flexibility as we work to execute our turn-around strategy".
