TDG Adairsville, LLC, completed the sale and lease back of its warehousing facility located at 400 Princeton

Simultaneously with closing, a 10-year lease (including two options to extend for five years each) was entered into between the Purchaser and the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, TDG Operations, LLC. The lease is on a net basis with annual base rent for the first five years of $1,495,660 and for the last five years of $1,585,400 (with no rent for months 13 and 25). Performance of the lease is guaranteed by the Company. Included within the lease is a right of first refusal for the Company to purchase the property on the terms of any bona fide third- party offer.
