Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
iStar purchased for cash 2,775,000 of the Shares reported on this Schedule 13D on April 14, 2017 from the Issuers predecessor, SIGI Acquisition, Inc. (SIGI), at a price per share of $20.00, or $55.5 million in the aggregate, using working capital. SIGI was renamed Safety, Income and Growth, Inc. on April 14, 2017 upon consummation of the acquisition, by merger, by SIGI of a wholly-owned subsidiary of iStar. Concurrently with the Issuers initial public offering (the IPO) on June 27, 2017, iStar purchased the remaining 2,250,000 of the Shares reported on this Schedule 13D in a private placement at a price per share equal to the initial public offering price of $20.00 per share, or $45.0 million in the aggregate, using working capital (the Concurrent Private Placement).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
iStar acquired the Shares held by it in the transactions described in Item 3 above.
Jay Sugarman, the chairman and chief executive officer and a director of iStar, is the chairman and chief executive and a director of the Issuer and the chief executive officer of the Issuers external manager. Robin Josephs, a director of iStar, is a director of the Issuer. Nina Matis, the chief investment officer and chief legal officer of iStar, and Geoffrey Jervis, the chief operating officer and chief financial officer of iStar, each holds a similar position with the Issuer and the Issuers external manager. A subsidiary of iStar serves as the external manager of the Issuer pursuant to the management agreement described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D.
iStar does not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as otherwise set forth in this Schedule 13D or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed in this Schedule 13D. iStar may from time to time, depending on market conditions and other considerations, including the relevant securities laws and any agreement or agreements that have been or may be entered into with the Issuer, purchase additional Shares or dispose of some or all of the Shares held by it, and iStar reserves the right to change its intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. iStar may enter into one or more 10b5-1 trading plans to execute purchases and/or dispositions of Shares from time to time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) iStar owns 5,025,000 Shares directly, or approximately 27.6% of the outstanding Shares. Annex A sets forth the number of Shares and the aggregate percentage of the outstanding Shares beneficially owned by each of iStars executive officers and directors.
(b) iStar and each of the persons listed in Annex A has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Shares beneficially owned by iStar or such person, as applicable.
(c) On April 14, 2017, iStar purchased 2,775,000 of the Shares it beneficially owns for cash from a precedessor of the Issuer as further described in Item 3 above. On June 27, 2017, iStar acquired the remaining 2,250,000 Shares it beneficially owns in the Concurrent Private Placement as further described in Item 3 above. Annex B hereto sets forth any transactions in Shares that were effected during the past 60 days by the executive officers and directors of iStar.
(d) Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of iStar, no other person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by iStar.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between or among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person named on Annex A, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
On the closing date of the IPO, the Issuers manager, a wholly-owned iStar subsidiary, entered into a management agreement with the Issuer. During the first year of the management agreement, the Issuer will pay no management fee to the manager. Thereafter, the manager will receive a management fee, payable solely in Shares, equal to the sum of 1.0% of the Issuers total equity up to $2.5 billion and 0.75% of the Issuers total equity in excess of $2.5 billion.
On the closing date of the IPO, iStar entered into an option agreement with a subsidiary of the Issuer granting the Issuer the right to acquire a future ground net lease asset from iStar for a purchase price of approximately $35.0 million. The option agreement provides that iStar and the Issuer may agree that the purchase price will be paid in Shares or securities convertible into Shares instead of cash.
