GYRODYNE ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF SALE
OF FAIRFAX MEDICAL CENTER
ST. JAMES, NY - May 6, 2016 - Gyrodyne, LLC (NASDAQ: GYRO), an owner and manager of a diversified portfolio of real estate properties ("Gyrodyne"), today announced that it completed the sale of its Fairfax Medical Center in Fairfax, Virginia for a gross sale price of $14.015 million (the "Purchase Price"), or approximately $243.23 per square foot, to JAG Associates, L.L.C., a Virginia limited liability company. Fairfax Medical Center consists of two office buildings situated on 3.5 acres with 57,621 square feet of rentable space.
Gyrodyne's predecessor Gyrodyne Company of America, Inc. (the "Corporation") acquired Fairfax Medical Center on March 31, 2009 for a purchase price of $12.891 million (or $224 per square foot), of which $4.891 million was paid in cash and $8 million was financed. The acquisition of this property qualified for the deferral treatment under Section 1033 of the Internal Revenue Code and completed the tax-efficient reinvestment of the $26.3 million advance payment received in connection with the condemnation of 245 acres of Gyrodyne's Flowerfield property. The balance of the mortgage loan was prepaid in full in December 2012 and assumed by a subsidiary of the Corporation which was settled in full as part of the August 31, 2015 merger of the Corporation and Gyrodyne Special Distribution, LLC into Gyrodyne.
Frederick C. Braun III, Chief Executive Officer
of Gyrodyne, stated: "We're pleased to announce this very successful conclusion to our efforts to sell our Fairfax property. This is but one further step in implementing our strategic plan of an orderly liquidation over a reasonable period of time. We will now continue that process. Our Board of Directors will also consider an appropriate special dividend to our shareholders, which we hope to announce at our annual shareholders meeting on June 3, if not sooner".
Gyrodyne had previously announced the completion of the sale of two buildings in its Port Jefferson Professional Park, and the execution of purchase and sale agreements to sell a third and fourth building in the Park.
