Two More Hartman Non-Traded REITs to Merge

The boards of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX Inc. and Hartman vREIT XXI Inc., two affiliated publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trusts, have voted to merge Hartman XX into Hartman vREIT XXI, with Hartman vREIT XXI as the surviving company.

The boards of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX Inc. and Hartman vREIT XXI Inc., two affiliated publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trusts, have voted to merge Hartman XX into Hartman vREIT XXI, with Hartman vREIT XXI as the surviving company. The news follows a separate recent merger transaction of three Hartman REITs, where Hartman XX was the surviving entity.

“The merger of these two publicly registered non-traded REITs will create a significantly larger base of assets and synergies that will increase shareholder value for both companies and move all of the Hartman publicly registered programs to a perpetual REIT model, where shareholders can redeem their shares at NAV and also allow us to offer multiple options and share classes for new investors,” said Al Hartman, chief executive officer of both companies.

The REITs anticipate a stock-for-stock consideration, but terms of the merger are still in negotiations and are expected to be reached in the next few months as new net asset values are calculated for each company.

An S-4 proxy and registration statement will be filed with the SEC and a shareholder vote is tentatively scheduled during the late second quarter or third quarter of 2021, depending on federal and state regulatory approvals.

Late last month, Hartman Income REIT (HI-REIT), Hartman Short Term Income Properties XIX Inc. (Hartman XIX) merged into Hartman XX, with a combined asset value of approximately $655 million.
