RMR Mortgage Trust Closes $39.2 Million First Mortgage Bridge Loan for the Acquisition of Two Cold Storage Facilities in New Hampshire

NEWTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–RMR Mortgage Trust (Nasdaq: RMRM) today announced the closing of a $39.2 million first mortgage floating-rate bridge loan financing the acquisition of two Class A cold storage industrial buildings located at 6 Rockingham Road and 219 Rockingham Road in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Upon closing, the properties were leased back to Highwood Cold Storage and Londonderry Freezer Warehouse, respectively. RMRM’s manager, Tremont Realty Capital, was introduced to the transaction by Cushman and Wakefield, which advised the sponsor, KPR.

An initial advance of approximately $34.2 million was funded at closing with future advances of up to $5.0 million available for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures. The loan is structured with a three-year initial term and two one-year extension options, subject to the borrower meeting certain requirements.

Tom Lorenzini, President of RMRM, made the following statement:

“This first mortgage loan secured by two well positioned cold storage industrial properties continues our growth and real estate sector diversification of RMRM’s investment portfolio. It further demonstrates our ability to offer flexible financing to owners of middle market and transitional commercial real estate.”

RMR Mortgage Trust (Nasdaq: RMRM) is a real estate finance company that originates and invests in first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate. RMRM is managed by an affiliate of The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR).

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever RMRM uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, RMRM is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon RMRM’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by RMRM’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond RMRM’s control. For example:

  • This press release references continued momentum expanding and diversifying RMRM’s investment portfolio, which may imply that RMRM will close additional loans and that its business will continue to improve as a result. However, RMRM’s business and ability to execute loans are subject to various risks, including the competitive nature of the industry in which it operates, as well as other factors, many of which are outside its control, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. These risks and other factors may prevent RMRM from successfully closing additional loans, executing its new business and realizing its investment objective. Further, once RMRM invests or commits its remaining capital, its ability to continue to grow and fund loans will be subject to its ability to obtain additional cost-effective capital or its redeploying proceeds from repayments of its loan investments.

The information contained in our “Summary of Principal Risk Factors” included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, identifies other important factors that could cause RMRM’s actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by RMRM’s forward looking statements. RMRM’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, RMRM does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Texas Pacific Land Corporation Announces Chris Steddum to Succeed Robert Packer as Chief Financial Officer

Texas Pacific Land Corporation Announces Chris Steddum to Succeed Robert Packer as Chief Financial Officer

Stephanie Buffington to Assume New Role of Chief Accounting Officer

Deloitte & Touche LLP is Selected as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE: TPL) (the “Company” or “TPL”) today announced that, effective May 31, 2021, Chief Financial Officer Robert Packer will retire after a distinguished 10-year career with the Company. Chris Steddum, TPL’s current Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations, will succeed Mr. Packer as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Company has also appointed Stephanie Buffington, TPL’s current Vice President, Accounting, to the newly created role of Chief Accounting Officer. Both appointments will become effective on June 1, 2021. Mr. Packer will serve as an advisor to the Company through the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition.

“On behalf of all of us at TPL, I want to thank Robert for his exceptional service to our Company over the last decade,” said Tyler Glover, TPL’s Chief Executive Officer. “In his role, Robert has been essential in helping TPL achieve many transformational growth milestones, from the formation of our Texas Pacific Water Resources business in 2017 to TPL’s recent reorganization from a business trust structure to a Delaware corporation. He has played an integral role across all facets of our evolving business and displayed an unwavering commitment to TPL’s success. We are all deeply grateful for Robert’s contributions and wish him nothing but the best as he enjoys his well-deserved retirement.”

“It has been my honor and pleasure to be a part of the TPL story over the past ten years, and I am tremendously proud of all that we have accomplished – previously as Texas Pacific Land Trust and now as Texas Pacific Land Corporation,” said Mr. Packer. “While I always envisioned retiring at this time in my life to spend more time with my family, the completion of our reorganization provided a natural opportunity to hand the reins over to Chris and Stephanie, two impressive individuals who have the skill, passion and financial expertise to protect TPL’s storied legacy and take TPL to new heights. I will stay on the next several months to ensure a smooth transition, but I am confident in their ability to continue TPL’s strong success.”

Chris Steddum brings extensive corporate and sell-side experience within the oil and gas industry. Mr. Steddum has served as TPL’s Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations since 2019, leading TPL’s investor relations activities and financial analysis of development opportunities across TPL’s oil and gas royalties, surface, water resources and renewables businesses. Prior to joining TPL, Mr. Steddum held investment banking roles at Stifel Financial Corporation, where he most recently headed Energy Sponsors Coverage, as well as for GMP Securities’ Oil & Gas Group and Credit Suisse Securities’ Global Energy Group. While at Stifel, Mr. Steddum served as a lead strategic advisor to TPL as it underwent its corporate reorganization, and he advised TPL on multiple M&A transactions including surface acreage and royalty assets acquisitions and divestitures.

Stephanie Buffington will work closely with Mr. Steddum in her new role of Chief Accounting Officer and brings over 20 years of public company experience as a results-driven senior accounting professional. As a certified public accountant, Ms. Buffington has a wealth of experience leading complex accounting initiatives for public oil and gas, real estate, and insurance companies, particularly those undergoing constant change, and she is a proven leader in aligning accounting processes with evolving organizational needs. Prior to joining TPL in 2017, Ms. Buffington served as Vice President of Financial Reporting for Monogram Residential Trust, Inc., SEC Controller for Behringer Harvard and Director of Financial Reporting for Tarragon Corporation.

In addition to these leadership changes, TPL also announced that it has retained Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as its Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the calendar year ending in 2021. The Company’s long time auditors Lane Gorman Trubitt, LLC informed the Company that the firm would not stand for re-election. The Company’s Audit Committee conducted an extensive selection process which included evaluating factors such as: audit quality, technical competency, industry expertise, use of technology and methods of communication. The Audit Committee selected Deloitte from several other well qualified candidates.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s future prospects and the Board’s review of potential strategic alternatives, the timing of such review, and the possible outcomes of such review. The Company’s actual results or outcomes and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those discussed in any forward-looking statements, including as a result of the uncertainty associated with being able to identify, evaluate and complete any strategic transaction or alternative, the impact of the announcement of the Board’s review of strategic alternatives, as well as any strategic transaction or alternative that may be pursued, on the Company’s business, including its financial and operating results and its employees and clients. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in the Company’s clients’ preferences, prospects and the competitive conditions prevailing in the industries in which the Company operates; the Company’s substantial indebtedness; risks associated with the potential effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s business; risks that the recently-acquired Kandy Communications business will not be integrated successfully; ability to retain key personnel; the potential impact of consummation of the Kandy Communications acquisition on relationships with third parties, including customers, employees and competitors; conditions in the capital markets; and those factors discussed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this report. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
