Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 10, 2020, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with unrelated third parties to acquire a 10-building industrial property portfolio for $94.0 million (the “Ohio Acquisition”). The portfolio consists of approximately 2.1 million of rentable square feet and is located in the metro-Cleveland, Ohio area. The Ohio Acquisition is expected to close by November 30, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or that the Ohio Acquisition will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. A $2.0 million earnest money deposit has been made and is not refundable unless the closing does not occur as a result of the sellers’ failure to satisfy certain conditions under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. During the period of 180 days from the date of closing of the Ohio Acquisition, the sellers have agreed to indemnify the Buyer for certain breaches of the sellers’ representations, warranties and covenants under the Purchase Agreement up to a maximum aggregate amount of five percent (5%) of the purchase price.
