Jackson Hsieh Steps Down from the Board of Trustees
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE: SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that on September 27, 2019, the Company closed on its previously-announced sale of a distribution center located in Katy, Texas leased to Academy Sports + Outdoors. In connection with the closing, the buyer assumed the outstanding CMBS debt; after closing costs, and the receipt of October rent, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.9 million.
“We are very pleased to announce the closing of the sale of the Academy Sports property, which provided approximately seven million of net proceeds to SMTA, after the transfer of $84 million of debt,” stated Ricardo Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMTA. “We will continue to market our remaining assets for sale, and thereafter in conjunction with our board will make distributions and begin our liquidation process. We will continue to communicate important milestones as they are reached in this ongoing process.”

Steven G. Panagos, Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee stated, “We thank Jackson for his focused and tireless effort as our Chairman since the inception of Spirit MTA. The Board and executive team will continue its efforts to sell the remaining assets, and return capital to shareholders.”

Spirit MTA REIT Announces Closing of Sale of Assets to Hospitality Properties Trust (9/20/19)
- Terminates Previous Asset Management Agreement and Enters into Interim Asset Management Agreement at Meaningfully Reduced Annual Fee
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE: SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company has completed its previously announced sale of assets to Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”) (NASDAQ: HPT). The Company also successfully recovered all amounts owed under the Shopko B-1 Term Loan, and on September 12, 2019, closed on the sale of its PwC property for net proceeds of $1.9 million.
“We are very pleased to announce the completion of our transaction with HPT, the key step in our ongoing strategic process,” stated Ricardo Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMTA. “We will continue to market our remaining assets for sale, with the goal to maximize shareholder value promptly and in the most efficient manner. We look forward to completing the sale of our Academy asset soon, and thereafter in conjunction with our board will make distributions and begin our liquidation process.”
Mr. Rodriguez continued, “We thank the entire team at Spirit Realty Capital for their tireless effort along with that of our board of trustees and advisors who provided sage advice, which contributed to the successful transaction. We thank the team at HPT for a well-coordinated and collaborative effort. Importantly, we thank our investors who supported us with their capital along the way, and who approved this course of action for our company. We will continue communicating important milestones as they are reached in this ongoing process.”
In connection with the closing, all of the then-outstanding notes collateralized by the assets of the Company’s Master Trust 2014 were redeemed in full. In addition, we repurchased the $150 million of the Company’s preferred shares held by a subsidiary of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (“Spirit”). The Company also terminated and paid the contractual termination fee of approximately $48.2 million under the Company’s existing asset management agreement with a subsidiary of Spirit. The Company has also called for redemption of all of the outstanding preferred shares of its SubREIT subsidiary. After taking into account the redemption of all preferred shares and termination payments, closing adjustments relating to the transaction with HPT, transfer and withholding taxes, and fees and other associated expenses with the sale, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $241 million from the HPT transaction.
Going forward, the Company (or the liquidating trust expected to be established) will receive management services in connection with its wind down from a subsidiary of Spirit under an interim asset management agreement. Under this agreement, SMTA will pay a significantly reduced annual fee of $1 million during an initial one-year term (increasing to $4 million for any annual renewal period thereafter), plus certain cost reimbursements. This agreement will be terminable at any time by SMTA (or the liquidating trust) and after the initial one year by Spirit, in each case without payment of a termination fee.
The Company anticipates that in early October the Board of Trustees will declare a cash distribution for payment in late October to shareholders of the Company. At some point thereafter, as determined by the Board of Trustees, in accordance with the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Trustees and shareholders, the Company will terminate its existence and transfer all of its remaining assets (including remaining cash) to a liquidating trust, which will assume all of the Company’s remaining obligations and liabilities.
In connection with the establishment of a liquidating trust, the Company’s outstanding shares will be cancelled (and will no longer be transferrable) and each shareholder will receive one share of a common beneficial interest in the liquidating trust for each share of the Company that shareholder owned immediately prior to the Company’s termination. Remaining net proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s assets (after paying costs and expenses and satisfying remaining liabilities and obligations) will be distributed by the liquidating trust to the holders of shares of common beneficial interests in the liquidating trust. The shares of common beneficial interest in the liquidating trust shall not be transferable (except by will, intestate succession or operation of law). The amount and timing of the expected cash distribution and the timing of the termination of the Company’s existence is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees in its sole discretion. The Company intends to provide shareholders with further information regarding the foregoing, including the expected date of the Company’s termination, in due course.

-Announces Amounts Recovered from Shopko for Term Loan and Expected Proceeds From Sale of Academy Sports Distribution Center
-Date and Time of Special Meeting of Shareholders to be Included in Final Proxy Statement
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE: SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company has filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to its agreement to sell its Owned Properties held in the Company’s Master Trust 2014 (the “Trust”) and three assets presently owned by Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. to Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”) (NASDAQ: HPT) for $2.4 billion in total cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments, as previously announced on June 3, 2019 (the “Sale”). The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of the approval of SMTA shareholders.
“We continue to execute on our accelerated strategic plan to maximize shareholder value, as we work to complete our transaction with HPT and generate incremental proceeds from the sale of additional assets owned outside the Master Trust and the recovery of amounts owed to us under the Shopko Term Loan with the ultimate goal of winding down our operations in an efficient and expeditious manner,” stated Ricardo Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMTA.
The preliminary proxy statement is now available on the Investor Relations section of SMTA’s website, as well as www.sec.gov. After receiving clearance from the SEC, the Company will file a definitive proxy statement, which will be sent to all SMTA shareholders. The definitive proxy statement will contain the date and time for the Special Meeting of Shareholders to vote on the Sale, as well as a Plan of Voluntary Liquidation.
SMTA also announced that, through July 12, 2019, the Company has recovered approximately $24 million on the Shopko B-1 Term Loan (the “Term Loan”). While there can be no assurances that the Company will recover all remaining amounts due under the Term Loan, the Company intends to continue to pursue all of its rights and remedies in connection with Shopko’s bankruptcy proceedings.
After a comprehensive marketing effort undertaken since January 2019, the Company also entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of its distribution center, owned by a subsidiary of the Company, Spirit AS Katy TX, LP, and leased to Academy Sports + Outdoors, for a gross purchase price of $94.0 million. The net proceeds to be received by SMTA from the sale, after accounting for transaction and loan assignment and assumption expenses, is approximately $10.0 million. In addition to the satisfaction of ordinary course real estate transaction conditions, the closing of the sale is contingent upon obtaining lender’s approval for buyer’s assumption of the outstanding CMBS debt encumbering the property, and release of SMTA and its subsidiary from all further obligations under the loan.

Spirit MTA REIT Reaches Agreement for Sale of Assets for $2.4 Billion (6/03/19)
- $2.345 Billion for the Sale of All of the Master Trust 2014 Owned Properties and $55 Million for the Concurrent Sale of Assets Currently Owned by Spirit Realty Capital
- At Closing, Expects to Terminate External Management Agreement and Enter Into Interim Agreement with Spirit Realty Capital for Substantially Lower Rate
Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE: SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that the Board of Trustees has reached a definitive agreement to sell the Owned Properties held in the Company’s Master Trust 2014 (the “Trust”) and three assets presently owned by Spirit Realty Capital, Inc to Hospitality Properties Trust (“HPT”) (NASDAQ: HPT) for $2.4 billion in total cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments. These three assets include the fee simple interests in three travel centers that previously had been subject to mortgage loans held by the Trust. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of the approval of SMTA stockholders, and is expected to occur in the later part or end of the third quarter of 2019. This transaction has been approved by the Board of Trustees of HPT and does not require HPT’s shareholders’ vote. HPT plans to finance this transaction through a new fully committed $2.0 billion term loan facility, availability on HPT’s existing revolving credit facility, certain asset sales and potential issuance of unsecured notes.
“As the external manager, Spirit has worked to maximize the value to shareholders by prudently managing the Company’s assets, protecting the Company from problem tenants and assisting in their accelerated strategic alternatives process. Today’s announcement represents the most critical step in the full wind-down of SMTA and looking ahead, Spirit will continue to partner with SMTA’s Board of Trustees to liquidate the few remaining assets and seek maximum recovery on the Shopko B-1 Term Loan,” said Jackson Hsieh, Chairman of SMTA and President and Chief Executive Officer of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc.
“Consistent with our announcement earlier this year that SMTA would accelerate its strategic plan, our Board has diligently explored multiple scenarios in our effort to maximize shareholder value. In assessing these scenarios, we took into account the pricing, timing, and certainty of various transactions. Ultimately, we concluded that a sale of the Trust to Hospitality Properties Trust represented the best possible outcome for our shareholders. We will continue our work to close the transaction in the coming months and realize cash value for the remainder of SMTA’s assets in order to provide special distributions to our shareholders,” stated Richard J. Stockton, Lead Independent Trustee of SMTA.
The transaction is structured such that HPT will pay $2.4 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments, to SMTA, which SMTA will use to redeem all of the then-outstanding notes collateralized by the assets of the Trust (the “Trust Notes”) in connection with the closing. As of March 31, 2019, the balance of the Trust Notes was approximately $1.93 billion. Under the terms of the transaction, HPT will also pay to SMTA the make-whole amounts payable in connection with the redemption of the Trust Notes. The make-whole amount is currently estimated at $72 million, assuming a closing during the third quarter, but it is subject to change primarily based on the applicable U.S. Treasury rates at the time of redemption.
Additionally, at the request of HPT, a subsidiary of SMTA has agreed to acquire from a subsidiary of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (NYSE: SRC) (“Spirit”), SMTA’s external manager, the fee interests in three travel center properties for $55 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. As part of this transaction, Spirit has agreed to repay SMTA the outstanding principal amount of six mortgage notes (the “Mortgage Loans in Master Trust 2014”) issued by Spirit’s subsidiaries and which are currently held in the Trust. As of March 31, 2019, the aggregate balance of the Mortgage Loans in Master Trust 2014 was approximately $27.1 million. The ownership of the three travel center properties will be transferred to HPT as part of the transaction, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
Net proceeds to SMTA from this transaction are expected to be approximately $450 million after taking into consideration (i) redemption of the Trust Notes, (ii) purchasing the three travel center properties from SRC, (iii) proceeds from the repayment of the Mortgage Loans in Master Trust 2014, (iv) cash released by the Trust upon redemption of the Trust Notes and (v) certain adjustments for working capital, interim Trust cash flows between signing and closing, and transaction costs.
Additionally, at closing, SMTA will repurchase from Spirit, at par value including accrued dividends, its $150 million preferred shares in the Company (SMTA Preferred Stock) in accordance with the terms of those shares, and approximately $5.6 million plus any accrued and unpaid dividends will be paid to satisfy the SubREIT preferred shares in accordance with their terms. Also at closing, the existing asset management agreement with Spirit (the “Asset Management Agreement”) and the Trust property management agreement will terminate. Under the existing terms of the Asset Management Agreement, SMTA will pay Spirit a termination fee of approximately $48 million in connection with such termination, however (i) as a result of Spirit’s termination, SMTA will not be required to deliver notice to Spirit 180 days in advance of termination or enter into an eight month transition services period, and (ii) Spirit has agreed to waive Spirit’s right to receive any promote as otherwise provided for under the Asset Management Agreement. Spirit and SMTA will then enter into an interim asset management agreement under which SMTA will pay Spirit a significantly reduced annual fee of $1 million during the initial one-year term, and $4 million for any renewal one-year term, plus certain cost reimbursements. This interim agreement will be terminable at any time by SMTA and after one year by Spirit without payment of a termination fee.
“This strategic transaction is the culmination of several months of continued effort to maximize the value of our assets with our stated goal of returning capital to SMTA’s shareholders and materially resolving the advisory relationship with Spirit. Under the terms of a further interim agreement with Spirit, at a significantly reduced cost, the balance of the Company will be liquidated in due course and, accordingly, we expect the shares to be delisted. We will provide more specifics regarding this transaction in our proxy statement,” added Ricardo Rodriguez, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMTA.
The Company remains focused on its efforts to generate additional cash proceeds through the sale of its remaining assets in the Other Properties segment, and to seek recovery of the amounts owed by Shopko under the Shopko B-1 Term Loan.
This transaction is a first step towards winding down and liquidation of the Company. As such, the Company intends to return net proceeds from this transaction and other asset sales when appropriate, after taking into account the payments in respect of the preferred equity stakes, intervening preferred dividend payments, the declared common dividend payment, the termination fee to Spirit, satisfaction of outstanding contingent liabilities and transaction costs associated with the sales.
Further relevant details on the transaction will be disclosed in the proxy statement for the transaction.

Spirit MTA REIT Accelerates Strategic Plan (1/16/19)
Board of Trustees to Explore Strategic Alternatives to Maximize Shareholder Value
Spirit MTA Comments on Bankruptcy of Specialty Retail Shops Holding Corp. et al. (“Shopko Stores”)
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE: SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that the Board of Trustees has elected to accelerate the Company’s previously announced strategic plan and has engaged advisors to explore strategic alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value. Strategic alternatives to be considered may include a sale of the Company or the Master Trust 2014, a merger or other potential alternatives.
As of September 30, 2018, SMTA’s portfolio of assets consisted of 784 properties held through the Master Trust 2014, including 5 assets leased to ShopKo Stores. In addition, SMTA had 100 properties held outside the Master Trust 2014, 85 of which were leased to ShopKo Stores and which are encumbered by the previously announced non-recourse mortgage loan. As of January 14, 2019, the Company had approximately $102 million of unrestricted cash and $16 million of restricted cash, providing the Company with sufficient liquidity as it considers strategic alternatives. In addition, the Company maintains a variable funding note in the Master Trust 2014 that is currently undrawn with a maximum capacity of $50 million (subject to collateral value availability) and with current available capacity in excess of $40 million. Ricardo Rodriguez, SMTA’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer stated, “Taking into account our recently announced dividends, we have returned a total of $1.66 per share to our shareholders since our inception less than eight months ago. Through the acceleration of our strategic plan, we will explore all available options to maximize shareholder value. Our Board of Trustees also intends to continue paying dividends equal to 100% of CAD.”
There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction or other alternative. The Company has not set a timetable for completion of the process, and it does not intend to comment further regarding the process unless a specific transaction or other alternative is approved by the Board of Trustees, the process is concluded or it is otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate or required by law.
SMTA has continued to monitor its ShopKo Stores related assets, including in connection with the filing by ShopKo Stores and its affiliates of petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on January 16, 2019. As previously announced, last year SMTA completed a $165 million non-recourse mortgage loan with a third party lender secured by SMTA’s ShopKo Stores assets held outside of the Master Trust 2014, of which $141.9 million was received by SMTA net of expenses and reserves. SMTA and its advisors are working with the lender under the non-recourse mortgage loan, including potentially to satisfy the loan by relinquishing to the lender the ShopKo Stores securing the loan. As of September 30, 2018, SMTA received $43.2 million in annualized contractual rent from ShopKo Stores, which represented 18.3% of SMTA’s total annualized contractual rent at the time. As a consequence of the filing by ShopKo Stores, SMTA does not expect to receive any additional cash flow going forward from any of the assets leased to ShopKo Stores, nor bear further meaningful expenses related to those assets.
SMTA also holds a secured loan previously made to ShopKo Stores in the amount of approximately $34.4 million. This secured loan has been accelerated due to the filing by ShopKo Stores. While the outcome of the ShopKo Stores Chapter 11 cases are uncertain and there can be no assurances that there will be a recovery in whole or in part with respect to the $34.4 million loan, SMTA intends to exercise and pursue all of its rights and remedies.
For more information, please refer to the risk factors related to ShopKo Stores in the Company’s recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Recorded statements from SMTA’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Ricardo Rodriguez have been posted to the Company’s website. This recording can also be accessed via phone by dialing (844) 512-2921 (Domestic) / (412) 317-6671 (International) and using access code 1132853.

Spirit MTA REIT Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend and Special Dividend for Common Stock and Authorization of $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program (12/05/18)
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE:SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Trustees (“Board”) has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, the Board declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per common share. Both dividends will be paid on January 15, 2019, to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2018. Pro forma for these dividend payments, SMTA’s liquidity position remains strong with approximately $105 million of unrestricted cash, approximately $13 million in the Master Trust 2014 Release Account and over $30 million of availability under the Master Trust 2014 variable funding note facility.
The Board has also authorized a stock repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock.
“Given the recent execution of the $165 million non-recourse loan which served to de-risk our Shopko portfolio, and consistent with our stated strategy to return capital to shareholders, our Board has elected to declare a special dividend in addition to a quarterly dividend. The Board has chosen to further demonstrate its commitment to shareholder value creation by authorizing a repurchase program,” stated SMTA Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Ricardo Rodriguez.
Repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made in open market transactions from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on management's ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, prevailing market prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under the stock repurchase program.
The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, or any at all, and may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion.

Spirit MTA REIT Significantly Enhances Structure with Two Key Financings (11/05/18)
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit MTA REIT (NYSE:SMTA) (“SMTA” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company has completed two key financings. The Company closed on a $165 million non-recourse mortgage loan, collateralized by 85 assets owned by subsidiaries of the Company and leased to Shopko that are held outside of the Company’s Master Trust. The Company also closed on a $50 million variable funding note, which provides the Company with an additional source of liquidity and allows for more efficient management of the ABS liabilities within its Master Trust.
“With the non-recourse Shopko financing, we were able to realize immediate cash value for our Shopko assets, while significantly de-risking our exposure. We believe this financing serves to protect shareholder value by securing a floor value for Shopko assets while allowing us to realize incremental proceeds from future sales. At the same time, our new variable funding note provides substantial funding flexibility, similar to a corporate revolver, allowing us to reduce some of the impact of scheduled principal amortizations in the Master Trust while providing a source of liquidity to the Company. With the closing of these two financings, we have meaningfully enhanced the capital position and financial flexibility of SMTA less than five months after our inception,” stated SMTA Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Ricardo Rodriguez.
Total proceeds from the non-recourse mortgage loan after fees, expenses and required reserves were $141.9 million. The loan is fully pre-payable, in whole or in part, and bears interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 750 basis points, with required scheduled principal amortization payments of $1 million per month. The initial term is one year with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their ability to continue selling Shopko assets, which can be released from the collateral pool subject to satisfying certain allocated loan amount repayments.
The variable funding note has a term of three years, is rated A+ by S&P and carries a funding rate of 210 basis points over the institutional lender’s specified rate that generally tracks LIBOR. The variable funding note is non-recourse to SMTA, and is pari-passu with existing Class A notes outstanding under the Master Trust ABS program. The note provides SMTA with up to $50 million in capacity that can be used to warehouse new acquisitions, partially offset Master Trust scheduled principal amortizations, and for general corporate purposes.
