Note 14. Subsequent Events

 

In addition to the subsequent events discussed elsewhere in the notes to the financial statements, the following events occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022:

 

On January 30, 2023, SSSR Preferred Investor, LLC (the “Preferred Investor”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc. (“SST VI”) and Strategic Storage Operating Partnership VI, L.P. (“SST VI OP”). An indirect subsidiary of the Company serves as the sponsor of SST VI. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Preferred Investor purchased 600,000 units of limited partnership interest in SST VI OP (the “Preferred Units”) for an aggregate of $15 million (the “Preferred Investment”). Upon the closing of the Preferred Investment, the Preferred Investor was due an investment fee equal to 1% of the investment amount. The Preferred Investor will receive distributions, payable monthly in arrears, at a rate of 7.0 % per annum from the date of issuance until the second anniversary of the date of issuance, 8.0% per annum commencing thereafter until the third anniversary of the date of issuance, 9.0% per annum commencing thereafter until the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance, and 10% per annum thereafter, payable storage acquisition, development, and improvement activities, and working capital or other general partnership purposes. Each Preferred Unit has a liquidation preference of $25.00, plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions. The Preferred Units may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of SST VI OP at any time or from time to time following the second anniversary of the initial date of issuance at a price equal to the sum of the Liquidation Amount plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon.

 

Issuance of Equity Awards

 

In February 2023, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the 2023 executive compensation terms for our executives, which included (1) performance-based equity grants in the form of either, at the election of the executive, restricted stock awards or LTIP Units, and (2) time-based equity grants in the form of either, at the election of the executive, restricted stock awards or LTIP Units.

 

In February 2023 an aggregate of 271,199 LTIP Units were issued to our executive officers in connection with performance-based equity grants. With respect to performance-based equity grants, the number of LTIP Units granted as of the grant date was equal 200% of the targeted award. These are non-vested grants which shall vest based on ranges from a threshold of 0% to a maximum of 200% of the targeted equity award set for each executive by the compensation committee, with such percentage being determined based upon our ranking as compared to a peer group of publicly traded self storage REITs in terms of the average same-store revenue growth, analyzed over a three-year period.

 

Similarly, in February 2023 an aggregate of 275,308 LTIP Units were issued to our executive officers in connection with time-based equity grants. These are non-vested grants which shall vest ratably over four years, with the first tranche vesting on December 31, 2023, subject to the recipient’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
