On November 22, 2017, Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) reinstated and amended a purchase and sale agreement, which it had previously terminated (the “Midwest Portfolio Agreement”), with unrelated third-parties to purchase fifteen (15) industrial properties, with approximately 3,027,987 square feet of rentable space, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $101,500,000. Thirteen (13) of the properties are located in the Chicago, Illinois area and the other two of which are located in the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The acquisition is expected to close on or about November 30, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that the pending acquisition will be consummated on the terms described herein, or at all. The earnest money deposit under the Midwest Portfolio Agreement is $2,000,000, $1,000,000 of which was delivered on November 14, 2017 and the other $1,000,000 was delivered on November 22, 2017. The deposit is not refundable unless the closing does not occur as a result of the sellers’ failure to satisfy certain conditions under the agreement. The Midwest Portfolio Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. During the period of nine (9) months from the date of recordation of the deed, the seller has agreed to indemnify the Company for any breaches of its representations, warranties and covenants under the agreement up to an aggregate amount of $3,000,000.

The purchase price consists of $20.3 million in cash and a loan of $81.2 million from an affiliate of the sellers.

A copy of the Midwest Portfolio Agreement is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein.
