This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed by Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Registrant”), a Colorado corporation, in connection with the matters described herein.
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT;
Effective July 30, 2010, the Registrant entered into a Loan Sale and Assignment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Bank of America, N.A. (the “Seller”) to acquire from the Seller loan instruments secured by approximately 931 acres of land known as Sky Ranch. The Registrant is acquiring the promissory note payable by Sky Ranch, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Neumann Homes, Inc,) and the deed of trust granted by Sky Ranch, LLC to secure the promissory note from the Seller for a cash payment of $7.0 million. Concurrent with the signing of the Agreement the Registrant made an escrow payment totaling $700,000 to the Seller. The balance of the acquisition price, or $6.3 million, will be due and payable upon closing, which is expected to be within 60 days (the “Diligence Period”) of the date of this filing. The Registrant can terminate the Agreement during the Diligence Period for any reason without penalty other than paying escrow fees, which are immaterial. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Registrant intends to obtain private financing for this acquisition of Sky Ranch, the details of which have not been finalized.
The Registrant issued a press release discussing the signing of the Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 99.1:
