Item 1.01
On March 29, 2007, the Registrant executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, under which the Registrant agreed to sell approximately 63.1931 acres of real estate located in Harris County, Texas (the “Real Estate”) to R.L.R. Investments, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Purchaser”). The purchase price is $7,569,901.
Purchaser has until on or about May 28, 2007 to determine if the Real Estate is suitable for Purchaser’s intended use. If the Purchaser, in its sole judgment, determines that the Real Estate is not suitable, Purchaser may terminate the Agreement without penalty. If all conditions are satisfied, the transaction is anticipated to close in June, 2007.
Upon the closing, Registrant will lease back from Purchaser approximately 20 acres of the Real Estate for a 10 year term at a monthly rental rate of $1,000 per acre. The lease is a “net” lease with Registrant being responsible for taxes, maintenance, insurance and utilities. It is anticipated that Registrant will use the leased property for its threaded product operations.
