The following unaudited table summarizes the Company's pro forma revenues and net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 as if the acquisition of the properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2014 was completed on January 1, 2013 (unaudited and $ in thousands):
Pro forma total revenues | $ | 449,449 |
Pro forma net income | 15,351 |
From the date of acquisition in May 2014 through December 31, 2014, $8.3 million in total revenues and $2.9 million in net loss of the acquiree are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The pro forma revenues and net income are presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the transaction occurred on January 1, 2013, nor do they purport to represent the Company’s results of operations for future periods. Disposition of Ground Lease Business—In April 2017, institutional investors acquired a 51% controlling interest in the Company's GL business through the merger of a Company subsidiary and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). The Company's GL business was a component of the Company's net lease segment and consisted of 12 properties subject to long-term net leases including seven GLs and one master lease (covering five properties). The acquiring entity was a newly formed unconsolidated entity named Safety, Income and Growth, Inc. ("SAFE"). The carrying value of the Company's GL assets was approximately $161.1 million. Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, the Company completed a $227.0 million secured financing on its GL assets (the "2017 Secured Financing"). The Company received all of the proceeds of the 2017 Secured Financing. The Company received an additional $113.0 million of proceeds in the Acquisition Transactions, including $55.5 million that the Company contributed to SAFE in its initial capitalization. As a result of the Acquisition Transactions, the Company will deconsolidate the 12 properties and the associated 2017 Secured Financing and account for its investment in SAFE as an equity method investment. The carrying value of the 12 properties is classified in "Real estate available and held for sale" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. SAFE completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") raising $205.0 million in gross proceeds and concurrently completed a $45.0 million private placement to the Company. In addition, the Company committed to pay up to $25.0 million in organization and offering costs in connection with the Offering and concurrent private placement, including commissions payable to the underwriters and other offering expenses. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will be the external manager of SAFE and will be entitled to a management fee, payable solely in shares of SAFE's common stock, equal to the sum of 1.0% of SAFE's total equity up to $2.5 billion and 0.75% of SAFE's total equity in excess of $2.5 billion. The Company is not entitled to receive any performance or incentive compensation. The Company is also entitled to receive expense reimbursements, payable solely in shares of SAFE's common stock, for its personnel that perform certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that third-party professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform.
