NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 23, 2016) - Global Self Storage, Inc. (
Under the purchase agreement, Global Self Storage will pay Tuxis an aggregate of $7.8 million, which includes $5.925 million in cash, $975,000 of Global Self Storage common stock, and, contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the purchase agreement related to the expansion of the Millbrook self storage facility, an additional $900,000 cash payment.
The closing of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions precedent under the purchase agreement including, among others, approval by Tuxis stockholders.
"Both of these facilities fit our current acquisition criteria as they are performing well and located in secondary and/or tertiary cities where new development is muted," said president and chief executive officer of Global Self Storage Mark C. Winmill, who also serves as president, chief executive officer, and a director of Tuxis. "After a thorough review and evaluation by a special committee of independent directors, we believe these two stores will be very complementary to our existing portfolio of self storage facilities."
"This transaction would allow Tuxis to pursue other real estate development and management opportunities," Winmill added.
