Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 5, 2010, Tasty Baking Company (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with TKMG Associates, L.P. (“Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company will sell to Buyer (i) the Company’s former corporate office and distribution center located on Fox Street in Philadelphia, PA (the “Fox Street Property”) and (ii) the bakery property located on Hunting Park Avenue in Philadelphia, PA that the Company is vacating (the “Hunting Park Property” and together with the Fox Street Property, the “Properties”). The purchase price for the Properties is $6.0 million dollars. Buyer paid an initial deposit (“Initial Deposit”) of $100,000 in the form of an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit which will be held in escrow. This sale is being made in connection with the relocation of the Company’s Philadelphia, Pennsylvania operations to new leased facilities at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is subject to completion of due diligence by Buyer and the Company receiving a zoning change for the Properties from the City of Philadelphia. The Agreement provides Buyer an initial due diligence period ending July 4, 2010. Buyer may terminate the Agreement at any time during the due diligence period. If the Buyer terminates the Agreement during the initial due diligence period, the Initial Deposit will be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer has not terminated the Agreement, at the end of the due diligence period Buyer shall pay an additional deposit (“Additional Deposit”) of $500,000 in the form of an unconditional irrevocable letter of credit which will be held in escrow. Once the due diligence period expires, the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit will be non-refundable to Buyer. The Properties are being sold “as is where is” and the Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and closing conditions.
Unless the Agreement is terminated, the closing of the sale transaction will occur within sixty (60) days after the end of the due diligence period provided an agreed upon zoning change has been made. In the event the zoning has not been changed as required within a period ending 60 days after the due diligence period, the Company can extend the period to obtain the zoning for up to 6 months.
In addition, the Company may terminate the Agreement at any time in order to enter into an agreement to sell the Properties to a third party selected by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for a license to operate a slot machine gaming facility. The termination of the Agreement by the Company in connection with a gaming facility is subject to certain conditions, including the payment to Buyer of expenses plus and an additional sum of up to $1 million dollars. Further, if within two years after closing of the sale of the Properties to Buyer, Buyer sells or leases all or a portion of the Properties to a third party for the operation of a gaming facility, Buyer shall pay the Company an additional amount equal to the lesser of (i) $5 million dollars or (ii) 33.3% of Buyer’s net profit related to the lease or sale.
Buyer’s obligations and liabilities under the Agreement are guaranteed by Metro Development Company.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
