Business Updates
Pages 1 and 2 of this Earnings Release and Supplemental Financial Information provide an update on operations and 2022 guidance.
Investment Activity
In February 2022, we completed the acquisition of Blue Mesa Recreational Ranch, a 385-site membership Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) community located in Gunnison, Colorado, and Pilot Knob RV Resort a 247-site RV community located in Winterhaven, California for an aggregate purchase price of $15.9 million.
Balance Sheet Activity
On February 24, 2022, we elected to extend our current “at the market” (“ATM”) offering program by entering into new separate Equity Distribution Agreements, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million. The new Equity Distribution Agreements replace the equity distribution agreements for our prior ATM offering program which had an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million.
In April 2022, we closed on a secured refinancing transaction generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million. The loan is secured by one MH community, has a fixed interest rate of 3.36% per annum and matures in 12 years. The net proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all debt scheduled to mature in 2022, as well as, to repay amounts outstanding on the line of credit. As a result, we have no debt maturing for the remainder of 2022 and 15% of our outstanding debt matures over the next five years.
