The board of Hartman vREIT XXI Inc., a publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trust, has approved various changes to the company, which it believes will increase liquidity and transparency for investors.
The REIT plans to change the initial offering price (currently $10 per Class A share and $9.60 per Class T share, without application of any discounts) to the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2018, which will be determined by the board.
Hartman vREIT XXI will also amend its share redemption program to allow redemptions at NAV for shares held for three years or longer and removing the graduated redemption price discount (relative to the initial offering price of $10 per share) for redemptions for shares held between one and five years. The company also plans to change the distribution allocation between cash and stock for Class A and Class T shares.
“We believe these changes will make the program more attractive by increasing liquidity and transparency while mitigating the effects of dilution to existing investors,” said Al Hartman, chief executive officer and chairman.
The changes to the purchase price and the redemption price to the NAV per share will occur no later than 30 days after the board determines the new estimated NAV per share.
The changes to the holding period and graduated redemption price discount will be effective when the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the amended registration statement effective, which the company plans to file the registration statement during the first quarter of 2019.
The board agreed to honor sales of Class A shares at $10.00 and Class T shares at $9.60 for all sales made no later than 30 days after the board determines the new NAV per share. All sales made after the 30-day period will be made at NAV, pending the effectiveness of the registration statement.
Regarding the changes to the distribution allocation between cash and stock, beginning with the distributions to be paid in February 2019, the annualized distribution rate of 7.5 percent will remain unchanged, but will consist of 6 percent in cash (previously 5.5 percent) and 1.5 percent in stock (previously 2 percent) for Class A shares.
The annualized distribution rate of 6.5 percent for Class T shares will remain unchanged but will consist of 5 percent in cash (previously 4.5 percent) and 1.5 percent in stock (previously 2 percent).
