Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust Announces Amendments to Trust Agreement and Management Agreement and Update on Sales of Properties

--News Direct--

Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust (the “Trust”) announced today that it has obtained certificateholder approval to amend its Amended and Restated Pass Through Trust Agreement, dated January 30, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), to modify the definition of “Targeted Disposal Period” to extend the sales period for the retail properties to July 31, 2025. In addition, the certificateholders approved amending the Trust Agreement and the Trust’s Management Agreement, dated January 30, 2021, to modify the requirement that Hilco JCP LLC, the manager of the Trust, obtain a broker’s opinion of value for each property on a quarterly basis so long as the manager does not forgo obtaining a broker’s opinion of value for any property for two consecutive quarters. Copies of the amendments can be found in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, located under SEC Filings on the Trust’s website: www.ctltrust.net.

As previously announced, the Trust has adjusted its marketing and sales strategy to be consistent with these amendments. The Trust anticipates selling three of its retail properties to Copper Retail JV LLC, the Trust’s tenant (the “Tenant”) pursuant to rights-of-first offer with respect to these properties by the end of the third quarter of this year. There can be no assurance that such sales to the Tenant will close, however, the Trust expects that there will be substantial interest in these properties in the event that the sales to the Tenant do not close. In addition, the Trust has begun marketing its six warehouse distribution centers for sale and has already received significant interest in these properties. The Trust’s marketing process for these distribution centers is still in the early stages, but the Trust expects the sales to close by the end of the year. The Trust has also commenced marketing 25 retail properties containing landlord or tenant options to terminate to investors that are looking to develop these properties instead of operating them on a long-term basis pursuant to the existing master lease. The Trust has already received strong interest in these retail properties. There can be no assurance regarding the timing of the closing of the sales of any of these properties or that the prices obtained for the properties will be at prices acceptable to the Trust.
