CALGARY, Dec. 15, 2017 /CNW/ - GP LPLP 2007 Inc., as general
partner of Limited Partnership Land Pool (2007) ("LPLP"), and Genesis Land Development Corp. ("Genesis") (TSX: GDC), as nominee,
are pleased to announce the closing of the sale of 319 acres of undeveloped lands located in the City
of Airdrie, Alberta (commonly referred to as the "Fowler Lands") on December 15, 2017 at the
sale price of $41,000,000. These lands were 100% beneficially owned by LPLP and were sold to
an arms-length third party.
The purchaser paid $20,500,000 (50% of the sale price) in cash on closing and the remaining 50%
of the sale price will be paid in three years (subject to certain pre-payment privileges), and is secured by an
interest-bearing vendor take back mortgage in the amount of $20,500,000 (the "VTB").
The net cash proceeds of this sale were used by LPLP as follows (1) $4,055,000 to repay in full
its credit facility with a third‑party lender, and (2) $15,547,000 to repay in part the loan from
Genesis to LPLP, all in accordance with its loan and related agreements. LPLP now has approximately $12,134,000 in debt outstanding to Genesis, which bears interest at the rate of Prime plus 3% and is secured by
a pledge of the VTB.
