ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On July 16, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc. and PMI Greensboro, LLC (together, the “Hampton Inn Sellers”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement of Sale (the “Agreement”) with an unaffiliated purchaser (the “Purchaser”), a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1, related to the sale of the Greensboro Airport Hampton Inn (the “Hampton Inn”), as previously disclosed. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Hampton Inn Sellers have agreed to provide certain estoppel certificates prior to closing, and the Purchaser has agreed to waive its right to terminate the Agreement. The Purchaser has made its final non-refundable earnest money deposit of $200,000. Several conditions to closing on the sale remain to be satisfied, and there can be no assurance that we will complete the transaction on the general terms described above or at all.
