Altisource Residential Corporation Announces Agreement to Acquire up to 3,500 Single Family Rental Homes; Completes
Initial Closing of 757 Stabilized Rental Properties
Continues to Execute on Stated Growth Plan
CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, March 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Altisource Residential Corporation ("RESI" or "the
Company") (NYSE:RESI) today announced that it has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to acquire up to 3,500 single family rental properties from entities sponsored by Amherst Holdings, LLC. On
March 30, 2017, the Company completed the first closing under the Purchase Agreement with the acquisition of 757 stabilized rental properties for an aggregate purchase price of $106.5 million. Under the Purchase Agreement, RESI will
purchase up to approximately 2,750 additional stabilized rental properties from the sellers in additional closings in 2017.
The homes purchased in this
transaction will significantly increase the size of the Company's stabilized single family rental portfolio in strategic target markets and will be consistent with RESI's existing portfolio of quality, affordable rental homes.
"RESI continues to execute on its stated objectives. This second large acquisition from Amherst is further evidence of our ongoing commitment to strong
growth and our ability to identify and acquire the right rental properties to capitalize on attractive single-family rental economics", said George Ellison, Chief Executive Officer of RESI. "These properties are an excellent fit for the
RESI brand, and we will focus on our cost-effective property management and financing structures to operate the portfolio efficiently and generate long-term value for our stockholders".
The seller financing for this initial closing represented 75% of the purchase price and was provided pursuant to a loan agreement with a term of up to five
years and a floating interest rate of
one-month
LIBOR plus a fixed spread of 2.75%. Each subsequent acquisition under the Purchase Agreement will be subject to the same seller financing terms as the initial
loan agreement. In connection with the acquisition, RESI has again engaged the current property manager for the portfolio, Main Street Renewal, LLC, for the acquired properties. Hunton & Williams LLP acted as legal counsel to RESI for the
transaction.
