PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus. This prospectus includes
information regarding our business and detailed financial data,
as well as information about the common stock we are offering.
You should read this prospectus in its entirety, including
Risk Factors and the financial statements and
related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, before
deciding to purchase our common stock.
Our
Company
Campus Crest Communities, Inc. is a self-managed,
self-administered and vertically-integrated developer, builder,
owner and manager of high-quality, purpose-built student
housing. Prior to this offering, our business was conducted
through Campus Crest Group, which is wholly-owned and controlled
by Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief executive officer,
and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment
officer, and certain members of their families. We intend to
elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust,
or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes
commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010.
We believe that we are one of the largest vertically-integrated
developers, builders, owners and managers of high-quality,
purpose-built student housing properties in the United States
based on beds owned and under management. Upon completion of
this offering and our formation transactions, we will own
interests in 27 student housing properties containing
approximately 5,048 apartment units and 13,580 beds. All of our
properties are recently built, with an average age of
approximately 2.2 years as of August 31, 2010. Twenty-one
of our properties will be wholly-owned and six will be owned
through a joint venture with HSRE, in which we will own a 49.9%
interest. We recently completed construction of three of our
joint venture properties, each of which commenced operations in
August 2010.
Our 21 wholly-owned properties contain approximately:
|
|
|
|
|
3,920 apartment units; and
|
|
|
|
10,528 beds.
|
Our six joint venture properties contain approximately:
|
|
|
|
|
1,128 apartment units; and
|
|
|
|
3,052 beds.
|
As of September 15, 2010, our 27 properties had:
|
|
|
|
|
average occupancy of approximately 90%; and
|
|
|
|
average monthly rental revenue per occupied bed of approximately
$467.
|
We were formed to continue and expand the student housing
business of Campus Crest Group, which has been engaged in this
business since 2004. Our properties are located in 11 states,
primarily in medium-sized college and university markets, which
we define as markets located outside of major U.S. cities
that have nearby schools generally with overall enrollment of
approximately 8,000 to 20,000 students. We believe such
markets are underserved and are generally experiencing
enrollment growth. All of our properties have been developed,
built and managed by Campus Crest Group, generally based upon a
common prototypical building design. We believe that our use of
this prototypical building design, which we have built
approximately 410 times at our 27 student housing properties
(approximately 15 of such residential buildings comprise one
student housing property), allows us to efficiently deliver a
uniform and proven student housing product in multiple markets.
All of our properties operate under The
Grove®
1
brand, and we believe that our brand and the associated
lifestyle are effective differentiators that create higher
visibility and appeal for our properties within their markets.
In addition to our existing properties, we actively seek new
development opportunities. We expect that, subject to completion
of this offering, we will commence building seven new student
housing properties, four of which are expected to be
wholly-owned by us and three of which are expected to be owned
by a new joint venture with HSRE in which we expect to own a 20%
interest. We are currently targeting completion of these seven
properties for the
2011-2012
academic year. For each of these projects, we have conducted
significant pre-development activities and are in the process of
obtaining the necessary zoning and site plan approvals. In
total, we have identified over 200 markets and approximately 80
specific sites within these markets as potential future
development opportunities, and our current business plan
contemplates the development of approximately five to seven new
student housing properties per year. No assurance can be given
that we will not adjust our business plan as it relates to
development, or that any particular development opportunity will
be undertaken or completed in accordance with our current
expectations.
We are led by our co-founders Ted W. Rollins and Michael S.
Hartnett, each of whom has over 25 years of real estate
investment and operating experience, including the development,
construction and management of over 13,000 student housing beds.
They are supported by over 500 full and part time employees who
carry out our development, construction, property management and
asset management activities.
Our principal executive offices are located at 2100 Rexford
Road, Suite 414, Charlotte, NC 28211. Our telephone number
is
(704) 496-2500.
Our website is located at www.gogrove.com. The information on
our website is not part of this prospectus. We have included our
website address only as an inactive textual reference and do not
intend this to be an active link to our website.
Market
Opportunity
We believe that attractive investment opportunities exist in the
student housing market due to various factors impacting the
supply, demand and profit potential of this market in the United
States. These factors include:
Significant and Sustainable Growth in College
Enrollments. Based on information from the National
Center for Education Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau,
college enrollments are projected to grow at a faster rate than
the overall population through 2017. This growth is expected to
be driven primarily by: (i) the significant growth of the
college-aged population in the U.S. fueled by the Echo Boom
generation (i.e., the children of the Baby Boomers);
(ii) an increase in the percentage of graduating high
school students choosing to enroll in college; and (iii) a
trend toward longer college enrollments.
Outsourcing Pressure Due to Institutional Budgetary
Constraints. We believe that budget shortfalls and
funding constraints at colleges and universities have reduced
the availability of capital to build new student housing supply
commensurate with enrollment increases. Thus, colleges and
universities are increasingly relying on private developers to
offer on-campus and off-campus student housing options to
support enrollment growth.
Obsolescence of Existing Dormitory-Style Student
Housing. Increasingly, on-campus, dormitory-style
student housing facilities are becoming obsolete and are in need
of significant renovation or replacement. Traditional
dormitory-style housing typically consists of shared rooms,
communal bathroom facilities and limited (if any) amenities and
parking. We believe that such facilities do not meet the needs
and preferences of
modern-day
college students,
2
who generally have a higher standard of living and an increased
focus on privacy, amenities and other lifestyle considerations
than previous generations of students.
Highly Fragmented Ownership with Diminishing Competition and
Costs. The student housing industry is highly
fragmented, which provides opportunities for consolidation.
Moreover, the recent economic environment has reduced the
availability of construction financing, which has restricted the
number of new competitors entering the industry and created
opportunities for well-capitalized firms specializing in student
housing. Meanwhile, as competition has become constrained,
excess capacity in the residential and commercial construction
markets has lowered material and labor costs for firms able to
access capital for new projects.
Availability of Attractive, Long-Term Financing through
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Despite tightening credit
markets, stabilized student housing properties continue
generally to have access to long-term debt financing through
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie
Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or
Fannie Mae.
Our
Competitive Strengths
We believe that we distinguish ourselves from other developers,
builders, owners and managers of student housing properties
through the following competitive strengths:
Experienced Management Team with Demonstrated Track
Record. Our management team is led by
Messrs. Rollins and Hartnett, each of whom has over
25 years of real estate investment, advisory and management
experience. Our management team has overseen the financing,
development, construction and management of all of our student
housing properties with an aggregate cost of approximately
$500 million.
Modern, Well-Located Portfolio. The average age of
our student housing properties is approximately 2.2 years
as of August 31, 2010, and all of our properties are
located in close proximity to the campuses of the schools from
which they draw student-tenants, with an average distance to
campus of approximately 0.6 miles.
Attractive, Branded Properties. All of our
properties operate under The
Grove®
brand, and all of our properties feature private bedrooms with
en suite bathrooms, full furnishings, state-of-the-art
technology, ample parking, and a broad array of other
on-site
amenities, such as resort-style swimming pools, basketball and
volleyball courts, and community clubhouses with regularly
planned social activities. We strive to offer not just an
apartment but an entire lifestyle and community experience
designed to appeal to the
modern-day
college student.
Proven and Scalable Business Model. We believe that
our vertically-integrated business model enables us to deliver
properties economically while maintaining consistency in our
building design, construction quality and amenity package. We
continue to refine our processes and systems in an effort to
reduce costs and improve quality, having overseen the
construction of the same prototypical residential building
approximately 410 times during the last six years.
Focus on Underserved College Markets. We generally
focus on medium-sized college and university markets. While
total enrollments in these markets are generally lower than
enrollments in larger educational markets, we believe that the
overall market dynamics are often more favorable (e.g.,
higher enrollment growth rates and fewer purpose-built
student housing competitors).
Conservative Capitalization. Upon completion of this
offering, application of the net proceeds therefrom and our
formation transactions, our debt to total market capitalization
ratio will be approximately 22.7%, which we believe will provide
us with incremental financing capacity to fund identified future
growth opportunities. In addition, we have entered into a credit
agreement with Citibank, N.A. and certain other parties thereto
relating to a three-year, $125 million senior secured
revolving credit facility, or our revolving credit
facility, which will become effective immediately upon
completion of this offering and
3
satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions. This facility
may be used for general corporate purposes, payment of
distributions and to finance, among other things, identified
future growth opportunities, including the seven properties that
we expect to commence building upon completion of this offering,
four of which are expected to be wholly-owned by us and three of
which are expected to be owned by a new joint venture that we
expect to establish with HSRE and in which we expect to own a
20% interest. Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit
facility will be subject to the terms and conditions of our
credit agreement, including those relating to the
facilitys borrowing base. See Managements

OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesPrincipal
Capital Resources.
Our
Business and Growth Strategies
Our objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders
through the pursuit of the following business and growth
strategies:
Utilize Our Vertically-Integrated Platform. Our
vertically-integrated platform performs each key function in the
student housing value chain: project development, project
construction, property management and asset management. We
believe that the ongoing feedback and accountability facilitated
by our vertically-integrated platform allow us to improve
efficiency, reduce costs, control project timing and enhance the
overall quality of our properties.
Target Attractive Markets. We utilize a proprietary
underwriting model with over 60 inputs to evaluate the relative
attractiveness of each potential development market. We
generally focus on markets that exceed certain student
enrollment thresholds and exhibit favorable student housing
supply-demand dynamics. Our due diligence process is designed to
identify markets in which we can operate successfully.
Optimize Our Properties and Brand Value. We employ a
consistent set of operating principles across our properties in
order to optimize the student lifestyle experience and enhance
the value and recognition of our brand. We believe that our
focus on enhancing student lifestyle and promoting a sense of
community at our properties drives improved occupancy and allows
us to charge premium rents.
Development Growth. We believe that our
vertically-integrated platform generally allows us to generate
more favorable returns by developing new properties versus
acquiring existing properties from third parties, and we
therefore anticipate that in-house development will remain the
primary driver of our growth. Our current business plan
contemplates the development of approximately five to seven new
student housing properties per year from our identified pipeline
of opportunities, including the seven properties that we expect
to commence building upon completion of this offering.
Acquisition Growth. We may also seek to grow by
selectively acquiring student housing properties from third
parties. Generally, we anticipate that any properties acquired
from third parties would meet our investment criteria for
development properties and fit into our overall strategy in
terms of property quality, proximity to campus, bed-bath parity,
availability of amenities and return on investment.
Summary
Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves various risks. You
should carefully consider the matters discussed in Risk
Factors beginning on page 25 of this prospectus
before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Some of
the risks include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Developing properties will expose us to additional risks beyond
those associated with owning and operating student housing
properties, and could materially and adversely affect us.
|
4
|
|
|
|
|
Adverse economic conditions and dislocation in the credit
markets have had a material and adverse effect on us and may
continue to materially and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
We rely on our relationships with the colleges and universities
from which our properties draw student-tenants and the policies
and reputations of these schools; any deterioration in our
relationships with such schools or changes in the schools
admissions or residency policies or reputations could materially
and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
Our results of operations are subject to risks inherent in the
student housing industry, such as an annual leasing cycle and
limited leasing period, which could materially and adversely
affect us.
|
|
|
|
Competition from other student housing properties, including
on-campus housing and traditional multi-family housing located
in close proximity to the colleges and universities from which
we draw student-tenants, may reduce the demand for our
properties, which could materially and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is
not guaranteed, and their departure could materially and
adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
The current economic environment could reduce enrollments and
limit the demand for our properties, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
In each of the past five fiscal years, we have experienced
significant net losses; if this trend continues, we could be
materially and adversely affected.
|
|
|
|
If we are unable to acquire properties on favorable terms, our
future growth could be materially and adversely affected.
|
|
|
|
Our strategy of investing in properties located in medium-sized
college and university markets may not be successful, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
Our indebtedness exposes us to a risk of default and will reduce
our free cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect
us.
|
|
|
|
Joint venture investments could be materially and adversely
affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our
reliance on our co-venturers financial condition and
disputes between our co-venturers and us.
|
|
|
|
Our management team has not previously operated a REIT, and this
inexperience could materially and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
Our performance and the value of our properties are subject to
risks associated with real estate and with the real estate
industry, which could materially and adversely affect us.
|
|
|
|
Provisions of our charter allow our board of directors to
authorize the issuance of additional securities, which may limit
the ability of a third party to acquire control of us through a
transaction that our stockholders believe to be in their best
interest.
|
|
|
|
Provisions of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third
party to acquire control of us, which, in turn, may negatively
affect our stockholders ability to realize a premium over
the market price of our common stock.
|
5
|
|
|
|
|
The ownership limitations in our charter may restrict or prevent
you from engaging in certain transfers of our common stock,
which may delay or prevent a change in control of us that our
stockholders believe to be in their best interest.
|
|
|
|
We may not be able to make our initial distributions or maintain
our initial, or any subsequent, distribution rate.
|
|
|
|
A public market for our common stock may never develop and your
ability to sell your shares of our common stock may be limited.
|
|
|
|
Common stock eligible for future sale may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock.
|
|
|
|
Future offerings of debt or equity securities ranking senior to
our common stock may limit our operating and financial
flexibility and may adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.
|
|
|
|
We have not obtained appraisals of our properties in connection
with this offering and the price we pay to our existing
investors for their interests in our predecessor entities may
exceed our properties market value.
|
|
|
|
Our failure to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT could have
a material and adverse effect on us and the market price of our
common stock.
|
|
|
|
To qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, we will likely rely
on the availability of equity and debt capital to fund our
business.
|
|
|
|
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo otherwise
attractive investment opportunities, which could materially and
adversely affect us.

Subject to completion of this offering, we expect to commence
building three properties, which are expected to be owned by a
new joint venture that we expect to establish with HSRE and in
which we expect to own a 20% interest. Although we have entered
into a non-binding letter of intent with HSRE relating to this
potential joint venture, we have not entered into definitive
documentation, and we do not plan to commence construction of
these three properties until such time as a definitive agreement
is reached with HSRE. We are currently targeting
8
completion of these three properties for the
2011-2012
academic year. Information with respect to these expected joint
venture developments is included in the following table:

Actual costs may vary significantly
from estimated costs. Under certain circumstances, we expect
that we will be responsible for funding the amount by which
actual development costs for a project pursued by the venture
exceed the budgeted development costs of such project (without
any increase in our interest in the project).

Development activities involve significant risks and
uncertainties, including risks of delays, cost overruns and the
potential expenditure of funds on projects that are not
ultimately completed. No assurance can be given that these
developments will be undertaken as currently expected or, if
undertaken, that they will be completed in accordance with our
current expectations, including those with respect to targeted
completion and estimated cost. Further, if these properties are
developed, there can be no assurance that we will be successful
in achieving attractive occupancy levels or rental rates.
Additionally, our ability to commence construction of these
properties will depend upon obtaining property-specific
construction financing or financing these developments through
other means. For additional information, see Business and
PropertiesExpected 2011 Development Properties.
Our
Financing Strategy
Upon completion of this offering, application of the net
proceeds therefrom and our formation transactions, we will have
total consolidated indebtedness of approximately
$106.0 million (including $45.2 million that we expect
to borrow under our revolving credit facility upon completion of
this offering). In addition, subject to satisfaction of
customary loan closing conditions, we will have a three-year,
$125 million senior secured revolving credit facility,
which will become effective immediately upon completion of this
offering. Amounts outstanding under our revolving credit
facility will bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at our
election, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined
in our revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The spread will
depend upon our leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to
3.50% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 1.75% to
2.50% for Base Rate based borrowings. Immediately upon
completion of this offering, we expect to use approximately
$45.2 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility,
together with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering,
to repay in full our mortgage loan with Silverton Bank that is
currently secured by six of our properties. In addition, we
expect to use approximately $1.6 million of our revolving
credit facility to issue letters of credit relating to
indebtedness secured by The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at
MobilePhase II and The Grove at Las Cruces. We anticipate
that a portion of our revolving credit facility will be used, in
conjunction with project-specific construction debt, to finance
the construction of the four wholly-owned and three joint
venture properties that we expect to commence building upon
completion of this offering. In addition, we may fund
distributions to our stockholders with borrowings under our
revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow from time to
time under this facility will be subject to certain conditions
and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. Our
revolving credit facility will also contain covenants that will
restrict our ability to pay dividends or other amounts to our
stockholders unless certain financial tests are satisfied. See

Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital
ResourcesPrincipal Capital Resources.

We generally intend to limit our ratio of debt to total market
capitalization to not greater than 50%, although our charter
places no limit on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur
and we may exceed this level from time to time. We intend to
finance our long-term growth with common and preferred equity
issuances and debt financing having staggered maturities. Our
debt may include mortgage debt secured by our properties, as
well as unsecured debt, and such debt may require us to pay
fixed or floating rates of interest. We will seek to utilize
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae long-term debt financing for
stabilized properties to the extent possible. We may also seek
to finance development projects through unconsolidated joint
ventures with third parties, such as the three properties that
we intend to develop in a new joint venture that we expect to
establish with HSRE and in which we expect to own a 20% interest.
Structure
and Formation
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on March 1, 2010.
Our operating partnership was formed as a Delaware limited
partnership on March 4, 2010. Through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Campus Crest Communities GP, LLC, we are the sole
general partner of our operating partnership, and we will
conduct substantially all of our business through our operating
partnership. Upon completion of this offering and our formation
transactions, we will own a 98.5% limited partnership interest
in our operating partnership. MXT Capital, which is wholly-owned
and controlled by Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief
executive officer, and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and
chief investment officer, and certain members of their families,
will own a 0.8% limited partnership interest in our operating
partnership. Mr. Hartnett, in addition to his indirect
ownership interest in our operating partnership through his
ownership interest in MXT Capital, will own a 0.5% interest in
our operating partnership. Certain third-party investors, who
owned interests in our predecessor entities prior to the
consummation of our formation transactions, will in the
aggregate own a 0.2% limited partnership interest in our
operating partnership.
Certain of our officers, certain members of our management team
and our directors will own restricted common stock, representing
approximately 0.3% of our common stock outstanding after
completion of this offering.
Formation
Transactions
Prior to our formation transactions, all of the interests in our
properties were owned by Campus Crest Group and third-party
investors, including the Ricker Group and HSRE. The value of
these interests was determined by our executive officers based
on a capitalization rate analysis, an internal rate of return
analysis, an assessment of the fair market value of the
properties and the consideration of other factors, such as per
bed value and the liquidation preference with respect to certain
interests. We did not obtain third-party appraisals or
valuations in connection with the formation transactions.
Immediately upon completion of this offering, we will engage in
the following formation transactions, which are designed to:
|
|
|
|
|
consolidate the ownership of our properties and the student
housing business of Campus Crest Group into our operating
partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
complete the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our
mortgage loan with Silverton Bank that is currently secured by
six of our properties (as described in this prospectus, we will
repay, in aggregate, approximately $287.1 million of
indebtedness with the (i) net proceeds from this offering and
(ii) $45.2 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility);
|
10
|
|
|
|
|
facilitate this offering; and
|
|
|
|
enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010.
|
Set forth below is an overview of our formation transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the terms of a contribution agreement, MXT Capital
will contribute to our operating partnership its student housing
business and interests in the predecessor entities in exchange
for approximately $3.3 million (which will immediately be
used to make capital contributions to certain entities, which
will in turn immediately use such capital contributions solely
to repay indebtedness) and 232,593 OP units, representing a 0.8%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership.
|
In its contribution agreement, MXT Capital provides us with
certain real estate, ownership and operational representations,
warranties and covenants with respect to its student housing
business and interests in the predecessor entities being
contributed to our operating partnership. For a more detailed
description of the representations, warranties and covenants
being provided by MXT Capital, see Structure and
FormationFormation Transactions. MXT Capital will
indemnify us with respect to losses resulting from breaches of
its representations, warranties and covenants and for any real
estate transfer or mortgage recording tax liabilities that we
may incur; these indemnification obligations generally are
subject to a $250,000 deductible and capped at an amount equal
to the aggregate equity consideration received by MXT Capital
pursuant to the contribution agreement (other than the tax
liability indemnity, which is not subject to either the
deductible or the cap) and are generally limited to claims
brought within 18 months from the completion of this offering
(with certain claims surviving indefinitely).
|
|
|
|
|
Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital its interests
in two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million, on
which we have decided not to build student housing properties;
MXT Capital has agreed not to build student housing properties
on these parcels in the future.
|
|
|
|
Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital its interest
in an entity that will own a minority interest in a 1999 Pilatus
PC-12 single-engine turboprop airplane. Upon completion of this
offering, we will lease this aircraft on payment terms
structured to equal our pro rata carrying and operating costs of
the aircraft based on our actual usage.
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the terms of a contribution agreement, the Ricker
Group will contribute to our operating partnership its interests
in the predecessor entities and the entire ownership interest in
the entities that own fee interests in certain properties that
were subject to ground leases with the Ricker Group prior to the
completion of our formation transactions in exchange for
approximately $17.4 million.
|
In its contribution agreement, the Ricker Group provides us with
certain ownership and limited real estate and operational
representations, warranties and covenants. For a more detailed
description of the representations, warranties and covenants
being provided by the Ricker Group, see Structure and
FormationFormation Transactions. The Ricker Group
will indemnify us with respect to losses resulting from breaches
of its representations, warranties and covenants; these
indemnification obligations generally are subject to a $250,000
deductible and capped at an amount equal to the aggregate
consideration received by the Ricker Group pursuant to the
contribution agreement with respect to certain ownership matters
and
11
$7.5 million with respect to all other matters and are
generally limited to claims brought within 18 months from the
completion of this offering (with certain claims surviving
indefinitely).

Pursuant to the terms of contribution agreements and purchase
and sale agreements, certain third-party investors will
contribute to our operating partnership all of their interests
in the predecessor entities in exchange for approximately
$10.7 million and 53,000 OP units, representing a 0.2%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership. Under
the terms of these agreements, these third-party investors will
also provide us with certain limited representations and
warranties with respect to their ownership interests being
contributed to our operating partnership, including the
authority to enter into the agreement, the absence of claims or
litigation involving the contributed interest and the obtaining
of any necessary consents to the contribution of the interests.
The third-party investors also provide covenants under the
agreements, including not to transfer or dispose of any of their
contributed interests, and will indemnify us for any losses
resulting from breaches of their representations, warranties and
covenants.

|
|
|
In exchange for approximately $24.0 million, HSRE will sell
to our operating partnership (i) all of its interests in
each of The Grove at Milledgeville, The Grove at San Marcos
and The Grove at Carrollton, with the result that we will own a
100% interest in each of these properties and (ii) a 49.8%
interest in a joint venture that will own 100% of each of The
Grove at Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence,
The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo and The Grove
at Statesboro, with the result that we will own a 49.9% interest
in these properties and HSRE will own a 50.1% interest in these
properties. In addition, we will make a preferred investment in
an aggregate amount of approximately $4.8 million in
special-purpose subsidiaries of this joint venture that own The
Grove at Moscow and The Grove at San Angelo, for which we
will be entitled to a cumulative return of 9% compounded
annually.
|
|
|
|
We will use approximately $45.2 million borrowed under our
revolving credit facility, together with a portion of the net
proceeds from this offering, to repay in full our mortgage loan
with Silverton Bank that is secured by six of our properties. As
described in this prospectus, we will repay, in aggregate,
approximately $287.1 million of indebtedness with the (i)
net proceeds from this offering and (ii) $45.2 million
borrowed under our revolving credit facility.
|
|
|
|

CC-Encore joint venture for $3.9 million and terminate
CC-Encore.
|

parties specified above have been fixed and are not subject to
change based upon the public offering price of the common stock

facility); and
|

Benefits
to Related Parties
In connection with this offering and our formation transactions,
MXT Capital, the Ricker Group and certain of our executive
officers, members of our management team and members of
14
our board of directors will receive material financial and other
benefits, as described below. Each of Ted W. Rollins, our
co-chairman and chief executive officer, and Michael S.
Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment officer, will,
through his respective ownership of MXT Capital, be entitled to
participate in the benefits realized by MXT Capital in
connection with our formation transactions. In addition, Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. will, through his ownership in the Ricker
Group, be entitled to participate in the benefits realized by
the Ricker Group in connection with our formation transactions.
We have included the Ricker Group as a related party due to the
substantial investment that it held in our predecessor entities
and the substantial returns paid to it by our predecessor
entities. For a more detailed discussion of these benefits, see
Management and Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
Our operating partnership will issue to MXT Capital 232,593 OP
units in exchange for MXT Capitals contribution to our
operating partnership of the interests owned by MXT Capital in
the predecessor entities and its student housing business.
|
|
|
|
MXT Capital will enter into a tax protection agreement with us.
Pursuant to the tax protection agreement, we will agree to
maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of $56.0 million
for a period of ten years beginning upon the closing date of
this offering, or the
ten-year
tax protection period, in order to allow a sufficient
amount of debt to be allocable to MXT Capital to avoid certain
adverse tax consequences. If we fail to maintain such minimum
indebtedness throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period, we will be required to make indemnifying
payments to MXT Capital, in an amount equal to the federal,
state and local taxes, if any, imposed on its members as a
result of any income or gain recognized by them by reason of
such failure. The amount of such taxes will be computed based on
the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal tax
rates, as well as any grossed up taxes imposed on
such payments. This requirement may restrict our ability to
reduce leverage when we otherwise might wish to do so and
generally reduce our flexibility in managing our capital
structure. The tax protection agreement will not require us to
make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital by reason of any
built-in gain allocated to its members upon the disposition of
any of our properties.
|
|
|
|
We will enter into a registration rights agreement with MXT
Capital pursuant to which we will agree, among other things, to
register the resale of any common stock that may be exchanged
for the OP units issued in our formation transactions. This
agreement requires us to seek to register all common stock that
may be exchanged for OP units effective as of that date which is
12 months following completion of this offering on a shelf
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or the Securities Act.
|
|
|
|
MXT Capital will receive Campus Crest Groups interests in
two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million, on
which we have decided not to build student housing properties.
|
|
|
|
We will pay the Ricker Group approximately $17.4 million of
the net proceeds from this offering in exchange for the Ricker
Groups contribution to our operating partnership of the
interests owned by the Ricker Group in the predecessor entities
and in the entities that have entered into ground leases with us
relating to eight of our properties. As a result of our
acquisition of the entities that previously had entered into
ground leases with us relating to eight of our properties, we
will have fee simple title to the real estate that is the
subject of such leases.
|
|
|
|
Approximately $6.0 million of the net proceeds from this
offering will be used to repay indebtedness owed by us to RHR,
LLC, an entity owned by MXT Capital and the Ricker
|
15
|
|
|
|
|
Group; RHR, LLC will, in turn, immediately repay an equal amount
of indebtedness owed by it to an unaffiliated third party on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the loan from
RHR, LLC to us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Approximately $4.0 million of the net proceeds from this
offering will be used to repay our indebtedness to Capital Bank,
an entity in which the Ricker Group has an ownership interest
and of which Carl H. Ricker, Jr. is a director.
|
|
|

Each of Ted W. Rollins, Michael S. Hartnett and Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to mortgage and construction
indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$243.3 million in the case of each of Messrs. Rollins
and Hartnett and approximately $205.9 million in the case
of Mr. Ricker, and from personal guarantees with respect to
the RHR, LLC and Capital Bank indebtedness described above, and
the MXT Capital indebtedness described below. Each of Messrs.
Rollins and Hartnett will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to the preferred membership interest in
CC-Encore.
|
|
|
|
Indebtedness incurred by two entities through which MXT Capital
conducts aspects of its business will be repaid by MXT Capital.
MXT Capital will receive $3.3 million of the net proceeds
from this offering, which it will immediately use to make
capital contributions to these entities. These entities will, in
turn, immediately use the capital contributions received from
MXT Capital solely to repay indebtedness.
|
|
|
|
Our executive officers, directors and certain members of our
management team will receive material benefits, including:
|
|
|
|

financial officer, Earl C. Howell, our president and chief
operating officer, and Howard J. Weissman, a senior vice

|
Restrictions
on Ownership of Our Capital Stock
Our charter, subject to certain exceptions and after the
application of certain attribution rules, prohibits any person
from directly or indirectly owning more than 9.8% by vote or
value, whichever is more restrictive, of either our outstanding
common stock or our outstanding capital stock in the aggregate,
which we refer to in this prospectus collectively as the stock
ownership limits. Our charter also prohibits any person from
directly or indirectly owning any class of our capital stock if
such ownership would result in us being closely held
under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, or the Internal Revenue Code, or
otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
Our charter generally provides that any capital stock owned or
transferred in violation of the foregoing restrictions will be
deemed to be transferred to a charitable trust for the benefit
of a charitable beneficiary, and the purported owner or
transferee will acquire no rights in such stock. If the
foregoing is ineffective for any reason to prevent a violation
of these restrictions, then our charter provides that the
transfer of such shares will be void.
No person may transfer our capital stock or any interest in our
capital stock if the transfer would result in our capital stock
being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons on or
after the first day of our second taxable year. Our charter
provides that any attempt to transfer our capital stock in
violation of this minimum will be void.
Lock-up
Agreements
We, each of our executive officers and directors and MXT Capital
have agreed with the underwriters not to offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock
(including OP units) or any rights to acquire common stock for a
period of one year after the date of this prospectus, without
the prior written consent of Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs
& Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC Capital Markets
Corporation, subject to limited exceptions.
Our
Distribution Policy
We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our common
stockholders. We intend to pay a pro rata initial distribution
with respect to the period commencing on the completion of this
offering and ending December 31, 2010, based on $0.16 per
share for a full quarter. On an annualized basis, this would be
$0.64 per share, or an initial annual distribution rate of
approximately 5.1% based on the initial public offering price of
$12.50 per share. Our ability to fund this distribution will
depend, in part, upon continued successful leasing of our
existing portfolio, expected future development activity and fee
income from development, construction and management services.
To the extent these sources are insufficient, we intend to use
our working capital or borrowings under our revolving credit
facility to fund these distributions. To the extent we use
working capital or borrowings under our revolving credit
facility to fund these
17
distributions, our cash available for investment in our
business, including for property development and acquisition
purposes, will decrease.
In addition, in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must
make annual distributions to stockholders of at least 90% of our
REIT taxable income. If our cash available for distribution is
not sufficient to meet the annual distribution requirements
applicable to REITs, we would be required to fund the minimum
required distribution from other sources, which could include
asset sales or borrowings. Funding a distribution through asset
sales or borrowings could reduce our cash flow from operations,
increase our interest expense and decrease our cash available
for investment in our business. We may also choose to meet this
distribution requirement by distributing a combination of cash
and shares of our common stock. Under recent Internal Revenue
Service, or IRS, guidance, up to 90% of any such
distribution may be made in shares of our common stock. If we
choose to make a distribution consisting in part of shares of
our common stock, the holders of our common stock may be subject
to adverse tax consequences. See Risk FactorsRisks
Related to this OfferingWe may not be able to make an
initial distribution or maintain any initial, or any subsequent,
distribution rate and we may be required to fund the minimum
distribution necessary to qualify as a REIT from sources that
could reduce our cash flows.
Our Tax
Status
In connection with this offering, we intend to elect to be
treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the
Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ending
December 31, 2010. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon
our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual
investment and operating results, various complex requirements
under the Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things,
the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of
our assets, our distribution levels and the diversity of
ownership of our stock. We believe that we will be organized in
conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation
as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and that our intended
manner of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT.
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on our taxable income that we distribute currently to
our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable
year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions,
we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular
corporate rates and generally will be precluded from qualifying
as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the
year during which we lost our REIT qualification. Accordingly,
our failure to qualify as a REIT could materially and adversely
affect us, including our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders in the future. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may
be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on
our income or property and the income of our taxable REIT
subsidiaries, or TRSs, will be subject to taxation
at normal corporate rates. See Federal Income Tax
Considerations.

information contained in this section is not intended to replace
the audited and unaudited financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
Our Predecessor shall mean certain entities and
their consolidated subsidiaries controlled by Campus Crest
Group, LLC, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which carried out
the development, construction, ownership and management of the
properties that we will own interests in upon completion of this
offering, including its interests in two joint ventures with
HSRE.
The summary selected historical combined statements of
operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 and the summary selected historical combined
balance sheet information as of June 30, 2010 have been
derived from the unaudited historical combined financial
statements of our Predecessor, included elsewhere in this
prospectus. The unaudited historical combined financial
statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited
historical combined financial statements and, in the opinion of
our management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of this
information. The results for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a
full year. The summary selected historical combined statements
of operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and the summary selected
historical combined balance sheet information as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been derived from the
audited historical combined financial statements of our
Predecessor, included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary
selected pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for
the year ended December 31, 2009 and the summary selected
pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of
June 30, 2010 have been derived from our unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial statements, included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
The summary selected pro forma condensed consolidated statements
of operations and balance sheet information set forth below has
been adjusted to reflect our formation transactions, the sale of
the common stock offered hereby, the receipt of the estimated
net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the
underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses
payable by us, and the use of the estimated net proceeds as
described under Use of Proceeds. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information for the year
ended December 31, 2009 and as of and for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 is presented as if this offering, the
use of net proceeds therefrom and our formation transactions all
had occurred as of the last day of the period presented for the
purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet information and on the first day of the period
presented for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
The summary selected historical combined and pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information set forth below and the
financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus do
not necessarily reflect what our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows would have been if we had
operated as a stand-alone company during all periods presented,
and, accordingly, such information should not be relied upon as
an indicator of our future performance, financial condition or
liquidity.

FFO is used by industry analysts
and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure
for REITs. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition
that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or
NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net
income (loss) determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
or GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined
under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously
depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified
non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental
performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related
depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property
dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when
compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates,
rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a
widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs,
FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our
operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because
FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither
the changes in the value of our properties that result from use
or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures
necessary to maintain the operating performance of our
properties, all of which have real economic effects and could
materially and adversely impact our results from operations, the
utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. While
FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use
different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly,
FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to
FFO published herein. Therefore, we believe that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating
results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income
(loss) as presented in the combined financial statements and the
other financial statements included elsewhere in this
prospectus. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an
indicator of the properties financial performance or to
cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with
GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of
funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to
pay dividends or make distributions.

RISK
FACTORS
Investment in our common stock involves significant risks.
You should therefore carefully consider the material risks of an
investment in our common stock that are discussed in this
section, as well as the other information contained in this
prospectus, before making an investment decision. The occurrence
of any of the following risks could materially and adversely
affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash
flow, per share trading price and ability to satisfy our debt
service obligations and pay dividends or distributions to you
and could cause you to lose all or a significant part of your
investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including
statements in the following risk factors, constitute
forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section entitled
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Properties
Developing
properties will expose us to additional risks beyond those
associated with owning and operating student housing properties,
and could materially and adversely affect us.
Our future growth will depend, in part, upon our ability to
successfully complete the seven properties that we expect to
commence building upon completion of this offering and to
successfully identify and plan additional development
opportunities. Our development activities, particularly those
relating to the seven properties that we expect to develop with
completion targeted for the 2011-2012 academic year, may be
adversely affected by:
|
|
|
|
|
abandonment of development opportunities after expending
significant cash and other resources to determine feasibility,
requiring us to expense costs incurred in connection with the
abandoned project;
|
|
|
|
construction costs of a project exceeding our original estimates;
|
|
|
|
failure to complete development projects on schedule or in
conformity with building plans and specifications;
|
|
|
|
lower than anticipated occupancy and rental rates at a newly
completed property, which rates may not be sufficient to make
the property profitable; and
|
|
|
|
failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining, necessary zoning,
land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental
permits and authorizations.
|
The
construction activities at our student housing properties expose
us to liabilities and risks beyond those associated with the
ownership and operation of student housing
properties.
The construction of our student housing properties, including
the seven properties that we expect to develop with completion
targeted for the 2011-2012 academic year, involves risks
associated with construction activities, including liability for
workplace safety, such as injuries and accidents to persons and
property occurring during the construction process. Construction
activities also subject us to obligations relating to
environmental compliance, such as management of storm water
discharge and run-off, material handling,
on-site
storage of construction materials and off-site disposal of
construction materials. These risks are in addition to those
associated with owning or operating student housing properties,
and the realization of any of these risks could materially and
adversely affect us.
25
Our
development activities are subject to delays and cost overruns,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
Our development activities, including those related to the seven
properties targeted to be completed for the 2011-2012 academic
year, may be adversely affected by circumstances beyond our
control, including: work stoppages; labor disputes; shortages of
qualified trades people, such as carpenters, roofers,
electricians and plumbers; changes in laws or other governmental
regulations, such as those relating to union organizing
activity; lack of adequate utility infrastructure and services;
our reliance on local subcontractors, who may not be adequately
capitalized or insured; inclement weather; and shortages, delay
in availability, or fluctuations in prices of building
materials. Any of these circumstances could give rise to delays
in the start or completion of, or could increase the cost of,
developing one or more of our properties. If we are unable to
recover these increased costs by raising our lease rates, our
financial performance and liquidity could be materially and
adversely affected.
We may
not realize a return on our development activities in a timely
manner, which could materially and adversely affect
us.
Due to the amount of time required for planning, constructing
and leasing of development properties, we may not realize a
significant cash return for several years. Therefore, if any of
our development activities are subject to delays or cost
overruns, our growth may be hindered and our results of
operations and cash flows may be adversely affected. In
addition, new development activities, regardless of whether or
not they are ultimately successful, typically require
substantial time and attention from management. Furthermore,
maintaining our development capabilities involves significant
expense, including compensation expense for our development
personnel and related overhead. To the extent we cease or limit
our development activity, this expense will not be offset by
revenues from our development activity. Therefore, if we do not
realize a return on our development activities in a timely
manner in order to offset these costs and expenses, we could be
materially and adversely affected.
Adverse
economic conditions and dislocation in the credit markets have
had a material and adverse effect on us and may continue to
materially and adversely affect us.
We have recently experienced unprecedented levels of volatility
in the capital markets, a reduction in the availability of
credit and intense recessionary pressures, which have had an
adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to
borrow funds. For example, lenders are generally imposing more
stringent lending standards and applying more conservative
valuations to properties. This has limited the amount of
indebtedness we have been able to obtain, and has impeded our
ability to develop new properties and to replace construction
financing with permanent financing. If these conditions
continue, our business and our growth strategy, including our
ability to develop the seven properties that we contemplate
completing for the 2011-2012 academic year, may be materially
and adversely affected. Although our business strategy
contemplates access to debt financing (including our revolving
credit facility and construction debt) to finance the
construction of the seven properties we expect to commence
building upon completion of this offering and to fund future
development and working capital requirements, there can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on
favorable terms or at all. Additionally, immediately upon
completion of this offering we will borrow approximately
$45.2 million under our revolving credit facility and issue
letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $1.6 million
under such facility. The amounts outstanding under our revolving
credit facility immediately upon completion of this offering
will reduce the amount that we can borrow under this facility
for other purposes. Giving effect to the foregoing uses and our
expected borrowing base, we expect to have approximately
$55.6 million of borrowing capacity available under our
revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed under our revolving
credit facility will be due at the facilitys maturity,
which is scheduled for the third anniversary of the completion
of this offering. This indebtedness, as well as our mortgage and
construction loans of approximately $60.8 million,
26
will subject us to risks associated with debt financing as
described below under Our indebtedness exposes us to
a risk of default and will reduce our free cash flow, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
The challenging economic environment may continue to adversely
affect us by, among other things, limiting or eliminating our
access to financing, which would adversely affect our ability to
develop and refinance properties and pursue acquisition
opportunities. Significantly more stringent lending standards
and higher interest rates may reduce our returns on investment
and increase our interest expense, which could adversely affect
our financial performance and liquidity. Additionally, the
limited amount of financing currently available may reduce the
value of our properties, limit our ability to borrow against
such properties and, should we choose to sell a property, impair
our ability to dispose of such property at an attractive price
or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.
Certain
of our properties are subject to liens and claims, which could
materially and adversely affect us.
Twelve of our properties are subject to liens or claims for
materials or labor relating to disputes with subcontractors or
other parties that were involved in the development and
construction process. We have recorded a liability of
approximately $2.3 million related to these liens and
claims as of June 30, 2010. There can be no assurance that
we will not be required to pay amounts greater than our
currently recorded liability in order to obtain the release of
the liens or settle these claims. Further, we may not be able to
obtain new financing for these properties until the liens are
released.
Developing
properties in new markets may materially and adversely affect
us.
We may develop properties in markets within the United States in
which we do not currently operate, including the seven markets
in which we currently contemplate developing properties with
completion targeted for the 2011-2012 academic year. To the
extent we choose to develop properties in new markets, we will
not possess the same level of familiarity with development in
these markets, as we do in our current markets, which could
adversely affect our ability to develop such properties
successfully or at all or to achieve expected performance, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
We
rely on our relationships with the colleges and universities
from which our properties draw student-tenants and the policies
and reputations of these schools; any deterioration in our
relationships with such schools or changes in the schools
admissions or residency policies or reputations could materially
and adversely affect us.
We rely on our relationships with colleges and universities for
referrals of prospective student-tenants or for mailing lists of
prospective student-tenants and their parents. Many of these
schools own and operate on-campus student housing which compete
with our properties for student-tenants. The failure to maintain
good relationships with these schools could therefore have a
material adverse effect on us. If schools refuse to provide us
with referrals or to make lists of prospective student-tenants
and their parents available to us or increase the cost of these
lists, the lack of such referrals, lists or increased cost could
have a material adverse effect on us.
Changes in admission and housing policies could adversely affect
us. For example, if a school reduces the number of student
admissions or requires that a certain class of students
(e.g., freshman) live in on-campus housing, the demand
for beds at our properties may be reduced and our occupancy
rates may decline. While we may engage in marketing efforts to
compensate for any such policy changes, we may not be able to
effect such marketing efforts prior to the commencement of the
annual
lease-up
period, or our additional marketing efforts may not be
successful, which could reduce the demand for our properties and
materially and adversely affect us.
27
It is also important that the schools from which our properties
draw student-tenants maintain good reputations and are able to
attract the desired number of incoming students. Any degradation
in a schools reputation could inhibit its ability to
attract students and reduce the demand for our properties.
Our
results of operations are subject to risks inherent in the
student housing industry, such as an annual leasing cycle and
limited leasing period; which could materially and adversely
affect us.
We generally lease our properties for 11.5-month terms, and the
related leases provide for 12 equal monthly payments of rent.
Therefore, our properties must be entirely re-leased each year,
exposing us to more leasing risk than property lessors that
lease their properties for longer terms. Student housing
properties are also typically leased during a limited leasing
period that generally begins in January and ends in August of
each year. We are therefore highly dependent on the
effectiveness of our marketing and leasing efforts and personnel
during this leasing period. We will be subject to heightened
leasing risk at properties under development and at properties
we may acquire in the future due to our lack of experience
leasing such properties. Any significant difficulty in leasing
our properties would adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition and ability to pay distributions on our
common stock and would likely have a negative impact on the
trading price of our common stock.
Additionally, student-tenants may be more likely to default on
their lease obligations during the summer months, which could
further reduce our revenues during this period. Although we
typically require a student-tenants lease obligations to
be guaranteed by a parent, we may have to spend considerable
effort and expense in pursuing payment upon a defaulted lease,
and our efforts may not be successful.
Competition
from other student housing properties, including on-campus
housing and traditional multi-family housing located in close
proximity to the colleges and universities from which we draw
student-tenants may reduce the demand for our properties, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Our properties compete with properties owned by universities,
colleges, national and regional student housing businesses and
local real estate concerns. On-campus student housing has
inherent advantages over off-campus student housing (such as the
majority of our properties), due to its physical location on the
campus and integration into the academic community, which may
cause student-tenants to prefer on-campus housing to off-campus
housing. Additionally, colleges and universities may have
financial advantages that allow them to provide student housing
on more attractive terms than we are able to. For example,
colleges and universities can generally avoid real estate taxes
and borrow funds at lower interest rates than private,
for-profit real estate concerns, such as us.
There are a number of student housing properties that are
located near or in the same general vicinity of many of our
properties and that compete directly with our properties. Such
competing student housing properties may be newer, located
closer to campus, charge less rent, possess more attractive
amenities, offer more services or offer shorter lease terms or
more flexible lease terms than our properties. Competing
properties could reduce demand for our properties and materially
and adversely affect us.
Revenue at a particular property could also be adversely
affected by a number of other factors, including the
construction of new on-campus and off-campus housing, decreases
in the general levels of rents for housing at competing
properties, decreases in the number of students
28
enrolled at one or more of the colleges or universities from
which the property draws student-tenants and other general
economic conditions.
Although we believe no participant in the student housing
industry holds a dominant market share, we will compete with
larger national companies, colleges and universities that have
greater resources and superior access to capital. Furthermore,
we believe that a number of other large national companies with
substantial financial and marketing resources may be potential
entrants in the student housing business. The activities of any
of these companies, colleges or universities could cause an
increase in competition for student-tenants and for the
acquisition, development and management of other student housing
properties, which could reduce the demand for our properties.
Our
success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not
guaranteed, and their departure could materially and adversely
affect us.
We are dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel,
particularly those of Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief
executive officer, and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and
chief investment officer. These individuals have extensive
experience in our business, including sourcing attractive
investment opportunities, development activities, financing
activities, university relations and leasing.
Messrs. Rollins and Hartnett have directed the operations
of our predecessor entities and each has over 25 years of
experience in providing service-enriched housing and
approximately seven years of student housing experience. The
loss of the services of either Mr. Rollins or
Mr. Hartnett could materially and adversely affect us.
The
current economic environment could reduce enrollments and limit
the demand for our properties, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
A continuation of ongoing economic conditions that adversely
affect household disposable income, such as high unemployment
levels, weak business conditions, reduced access to credit,
increasing tax rates and high fuel and energy costs, could
reduce overall student leasing or cause student-tenants to shift
their leasing practices as students may determine to forego
college or live at home and commute to college.
In addition, as a result of general economic weakness, many
students may be unable to obtain student loans on favorable
terms. If student loans are not available or their costs are
prohibitively high, enrollment numbers for schools from which we
draw student-tenants may decrease, resulting in a decrease in
the demand for, and consequently the occupancy rates at and
rental revenue from, our properties. Accordingly, the
continuation or deterioration of current economic conditions
could materially and adversely affect us.
In
each of the past five fiscal years, we have experienced
significant net losses; if this trend continues, we could be
materially and adversely affected.
We have incurred significant net losses in each of the past five
fiscal years. These results have had a negative impact on our
financial condition. Although we anticipate that upon completion
of this offering and our formation transactions we will be
adequately capitalized and be able to resume our historical
levels of development activity, there can be no assurance that
our business will become profitable in the future and additional
losses will not be incurred. If this trend continues in the
future, our financial performance, liquidity and our ability to
operate our business as a going concern could be materially and
adversely affected.
29
If we
are unable to acquire properties on favorable terms, our future
growth could be materially and adversely affected.
Our future growth will depend, in part, upon our ability to
acquire new properties on favorable terms. Acquisition
opportunities may not be available to us on terms that we deem
acceptable, and we may be unsuccessful in consummating
acquisition opportunities. Our ability to acquire properties on
favorable terms and successfully operate them may be adversely
affected by:
|
|
|
|
|
an inability to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all;
|
|
|
|
competition from other real estate investors;
|
|
|
|
increased purchase prices and decreased expected yields due to
competition from other potential acquirers;
|
|
|
|
the need to make significant and unexpected capital expenditures
to improve or renovate acquired properties;
|
|
|
|
an inability to quickly and efficiently integrate acquisitions,
particularly any acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into
our existing operations;
|
|
|
|
market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy
rates and lower than expected rental rates at acquired
properties; and
|
|
|
|
acquisition of properties subject to liabilities but without any
recourse, or with only limited recourse, to the sellers, or with
liabilities that are unknown to us, such as liabilities for
clean-up of
undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants,
vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of our
properties.
|
Our failure to identify and consummate property acquisitions on
attractive terms or the failure of any acquired properties to
meet our expectations could materially and adversely affect our
future growth.
Our
strategy of investing in properties located in medium-sized
college and university markets may not be successful, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Our business strategy involves investing in properties located
in medium-sized college and university markets, which are
smaller than larger educational markets. Larger educational
markets, such as Boston, Massachusetts or Washington, D.C.,
often have multiple colleges and universities that have larger
enrollments than schools located in medium-sized college and
university markets and attract students nationally and
internationally. The colleges and universities that our
properties draw student-tenants from typically have smaller
enrollments than schools in larger educational markets and tend
to attract students from within the region in which the school
is located. If the schools in our markets experience reduced
enrollment, for example due to adverse economic conditions, or
are unable to attract sufficient students to achieve a desired
class size, the pool of prospective student-tenants for our
properties will be reduced. This could have the result of
reducing our occupancy and lowering the revenue from our
properties, which could materially and adversely affect our
financial performance and liquidity.
30
Our
indebtedness exposes us to a risk of default and will reduce our
free cash flow, which could materially and adversely affect
us.
Upon completion of this offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom, our total consolidated indebtedness will be
approximately $106.0 million, but does not include any
indebtedness we may incur in connection with any future
distributions. We also expect to incur significant additional
indebtedness in connection with the development activities that
we expect to undertake upon completion of this offering. Our
debt service obligations will expose us to the risk of default
and reduce cash available to invest in our business or pay
distributions that are necessary to qualify and remain qualified
as a REIT. Although we intend to limit the sum of the
outstanding principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness to
not more than 50% of our total market capitalization, our board
of directors may modify or eliminate this limitation at any time
without the approval of our stockholders. Furthermore, our
charter does not contain any limitation on the amount of
indebtedness that we may incur. In the future we may incur
substantial indebtedness in connection with the development or
acquisition of additional properties and for other working
capital needs, or to fund the payment of distributions to our
stockholders.
In addition, the tax protection agreement will require us to
maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of $56.0 million
throughout the ten-year tax protection period in order to allow
a sufficient amount of debt to be allocable to MXT Capital to
avoid certain adverse tax consequences. If we fail to maintain
such minimum indebtedness throughout the ten-year tax protection
period, we will be required to make indemnifying payments to MXT
Capital, in an amount equal to the federal, state and local
taxes, if any, imposed on its members as a result of any income
or gain recognized by them by reason of such failure. The amount
of such taxes will be computed based on the highest applicable
federal, state and local marginal tax rates, as well as any
grossed up taxes imposed on such payments. This
requirement may restrict our ability to reduce leverage when we
otherwise might wish to do so and generally reduce our
flexibility in managing our capital structure. The tax
protection agreement will not require us to make indemnifying
payments to MXT Capital by reason of any built-in gain allocated
to its members upon the disposition of any of our properties.
Our indebtedness and the limitations imposed on us by our
indebtedness could have significant adverse consequences,
including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on
favorable terms;
|
|
|
|
we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or
the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of
the indebtedness being refinanced;
|
|
|
|
we may be forced to dispose of one or more of our properties,
possibly on disadvantageous terms;
|
|
|
|
we may default on our payment or other obligations as a result
of insufficient cash flow or otherwise, which may result in a
cross-default on our other obligations, and the lenders or
mortgagees may foreclose on our properties that secure their
loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases;
|
|
|
|
to the extent that we incur unhedged floating rate debt, we will
have exposure to interest rate risk; and
|
31
|
|
|
|
|
foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying
cash proceeds, a circumstance which could hinder our ability to
meet the distribution requirements necessary to enable us to
qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT.
|
Compliance with the provisions of our debt agreements, including
the financial and other covenants, such as the maintenance of
specified financial ratios, could limit our flexibility, and a
default under these agreements could result in a requirement
that we repay indebtedness, which could severely affect our
liquidity and increase our financing costs, which could
materially and adversely affect us. We are currently not in
compliance with certain covenants under the loan documentation
relating to various lending arrangements to which we are party.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital
ResourcesConsents or Waivers Under our Loan
Documents. We have obtained waivers for these covenant
violations and intend to repay a substantial portion of our
outstanding indebtedness with a portion of the net proceeds from
this offering; upon completion of this offering and the
application of the net proceeds therefrom, we expect to be in
compliance with all applicable debt covenants. However, if we do
not complete this offering, we would need to access alternative
capital resources to meet our cash requirements, and there is no
assurance that we would be successful in doing so. An inability
to refinance maturing indebtedness or obtain alternative
financing would have a material adverse affect on our business
and financial condition.
Our
secured credit facility will restrict our ability to engage in
some business activities.
We anticipate that our revolving credit facility will contain
customary negative covenants and other financial and operating
covenants that, among other things will:
|
|
|
|
|
restrict our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
restrict our ability to make certain investments;
|
|
|
|
restrict our ability to effect certain mergers;
|
|
|
|
restrict our ability to make distributions to
stockholders; and
|
|
|
|
require us to maintain certain financial coverage ratios.
|
These limitations will restrict our ability to engage in some
business activities, which could adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share
trading price of our common stock. In addition, failure to
comply with any of these covenants, including the financial
coverage ratios, could cause an event of default under
and/or
accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which would have a
material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, our secured credit
facility will contain certain cross-default provisions with
respect to specified other indebtedness, giving the lenders the
right to declare a default if we are in default under other
loans in some circumstances.
Joint
venture investments could be materially and adversely affected
by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on
our co-venturers financial condition and disputes between
our co-venturers and us.
Our properties located in Lawrence, Kansas, Moscow, Idaho,
San Angelo and Huntsville, Texas, Conway, Arkansas and
Statesboro, Georgia, comprising approximately 22.5% of our beds,
will be held in a joint venture with HSRE, in which we will own
a 49.9% interest upon completion of this offering. Additionally,
we anticipate that we will enter into a new joint venture with
HSRE, in which we will own a 20% interest and through which we
expect to develop three properties with completion targeted for
the
2011-2012
academic year. We anticipate that we may
32
enter into other joint ventures with other parties in the
future. We may not have a controlling interest in a joint
venture and may share responsibility with our co-venturer for
managing the property held by the joint venture. Under such
circumstances, we may not have sole decision-making
authority regarding the joint ventures property.
Investments in joint ventures, under certain circumstances,
involve risks not present when we invest in a property without
the involvement of a third party. For example, our co-venturer
may have economic or other business interests or goals which are
inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in
a position to take actions contrary to our preferences, policies
or objectives. Additionally, it is possible that our co-venturer
might become bankrupt, fail to fund its share of required
capital contributions or block or delay decisions that we
believe are necessary. Such investments may also have the
potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as sales, because
neither we nor our co-venturers may have full control over the
joint venture. Disputes between us and our co-venturer may
result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our
expenses and divert the attention of our officers and directors
from other aspects of our business. Consequently, actions by or
disputes with our co-venturers might result in subjecting
properties owned by the joint venture vehicle to additional
risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for
the actions of our third-party co-venturers. Any of foregoing
factors could materially and adversely affect our joint-venture
investments.
No
assurance can be given that we will be successful in
establishing a new joint venture with HSRE or that any projects
pursued by such a venture will be successful.
Although we have entered into a non-binding letter of intent
with HSRE relating to a potential new joint venture in which we
expect to own a 20% interest, no assurance can be given that we
will reach a definitive agreement with HSRE regarding this joint
venture or that the terms of any such agreement will not be
materially different from those currently contemplated by the
letter of intent. We expect to develop three new student housing
properties through this joint venture with completion targeted
for the
2011-2012
academic year; however, no assurance can be given that we will
be successful in developing any of these three or other student
housing properties developed through this joint venture. No
assurance can be given that these developments will be
undertaken as currently expected or, if undertaken, that they
will be completed in accordance with our current expectations,
including those with respect to targeted completion and
estimated cost. In addition, under certain circumstances, we
expect that we will be responsible for funding the amount by
which actual development costs for a project pursued by the
venture exceed the budgeted development costs of such project
(without any increase in our interest in the project), which
could materially and adversely affect the fee income realized
from any such project. Finally, there can be no assurance that
any properties developed through this joint venture will be
successful in achieving attractive occupancy levels or rental
rates.
Our
management team has not previously operated either a REIT or a
public company, and this inexperience could materially and
adversely affect us.
Our management team has not operated a business that has sought
to qualify for taxation as a REIT or in compliance with the
numerous technical restrictions and limitations set forth in the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to REITs. Managing a portfolio
of assets under the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code may limit the types of investments we are able to make or
the activities that we may undertake. Furthermore, our
management team has not previously operated a public company.
The various regulatory requirements applicable to public
companies will involve a significant investment of management
time, since these requirements were not previously applicable to
us as a closely held private company. Both federal laws and
regulations and the New York Stock Exchange, or
NYSE, rules impose numerous requirements relating to
a public companys corporate governance and disclosure
obligations. We may be required to spend additional time
addressing governance and disclosure obligations due to our
inexperience, and we
33
will be subject to fines and other penalties if we fail to
comply in a timely manner with these obligations. Additionally,
we may need to replace or supplement our existing management or
staff in order to maintain operations as a public company, which
may increase our costs of operations or delay implementation of
our business strategies. We may not be able to operate a REIT or
a public company as successfully or as efficiently as a more
experienced management team.
Our
investment in properties subject to ground leases with
unaffiliated third parties exposes us to the potential loss of
such properties upon the expiration or termination of the ground
leases, and the realization of such loss could materially and
adversely affect us. Our properties at the University of South
Alabama are also subject to a right of first refusal that may
inhibit our ability to sell them.
Our properties located on the campus of the University of South
Alabama are subject to ground leases with affiliates of the
university. We have another property located in Moscow, Idaho
which is also subject to a ground lease with an unaffiliated
third party. In addition, we may invest in additional properties
that are subject to ground leases with unaffiliated third
parties. As the lessee under a ground lease with an unaffiliated
third party, we are exposed to the possibility of losing our
leasehold interest in the land on which our buildings are
located. A ground lease may not be renewed upon the expiration
of its current term or terminated by the lessor pursuant to the
terms of the lease if we do not meet our obligations thereunder.
In the event of an uncured default under any of our existing
ground leases, the lessor may terminate our leasehold interest
in the land on which our buildings are located. Any termination
of our existing ground leases with unaffiliated third parties,
unless in conjunction with the exercise of a purchase option,
would also result in termination of our management agreement
relating to the property. If we lose the leasehold interest in
any of our properties, we could be materially and adversely
affected.
Our properties located at the University of South Alabama are
also subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the
ground lessor entity related to the university has a right to
purchase our leasehold interest in the relevant property in the
event we decide to accept an offer to sell either property to a
third party. This may inhibit our ability to sell these
properties. Further, our right to transfer one of the on-campus
properties is subject to the consent of the ground lessor, which
consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
We may
face risks associated with purchasing undeveloped land, and the
occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely
affect us.
We typically do not hold land for future development. We
do, however, enter into purchase and sale agreements for
undeveloped land from time to time in anticipation of obtaining
construction financing and commencing development activities. A
delay in obtaining construction financing may result in a delay
in closing the acquisition of undeveloped land pursuant to a
purchase and sale agreement. This may require us to pay to the
seller of the land additional money in the form of an earnest
money deposit, which may not be refundable or applicable against
the purchase price.
It is possible that we will purchase property for development
based on an erroneous estimate of the demand for student housing
in the relevant market. This could result in us paying a
purchase price for a property that ultimately proves to be in
excess of such propertys value. As a result, we may
acquire land for development at a cost that we may not be able
to recover fully or on which we cannot build and develop a
profitable student housing property. Real estate markets are
highly uncertain and the value of such undeveloped land may
fluctuate as a result of
34
changing market conditions. Carrying costs can be significant
and can result in losses or reduced margins. As a result, we may
incur impairments on any land we acquire.
We may
incur losses on interest rate swap and hedging arrangements,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
We may in the future enter into agreements to reduce the risks
associated with increases in interest rates. Although these
agreements may partially protect against rising interest rates,
they also may reduce the benefits to us if interest rates
decline. If an arrangement is not indexed to the same rate as
the indebtedness that is hedged, we may be exposed to losses to
the extent the rate governing the indebtedness and the rate
governing the hedging arrangement change independently of each
other. Finally, nonperformance by the other party to the
arrangement may subject us to increased credit risks. The
occurrence of any of the foregoing could materially and
adversely affect us.
Our
inability to pass-through increases in taxes or other real
estate costs to our
student-tenants
could materially and adversely affect our financial performance
and liquidity.
We generally are not able to pass through to our student-tenants
under existing leases increases in taxes, including real estate
and income taxes, or other real estate related costs, such as
insurance or maintenance. Consequently, unless we are able to
off-set any such increases with sufficient revenues, our
financial performance and liquidity may be materially and
adversely affected by any such increases.
The
prior performance of our predecessor entities may not be
indicative of our future performance.
All of our properties have been acquired or developed by our
predecessor entities within the past six years and have limited
operating histories. Consequently, the historical operating
results of our properties and the financial data set forth in
this prospectus may not be indicative of our future performance.
The operating performance of the properties may decline and we
could be materially and adversely affected.
As a
result of operating as a public company, we will incur
significant increased costs and our management will be required
to devote substantial time to new compliance requirements, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
We have never operated as a public company. As a public company,
we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses,
as well as expend significant management time, relating to
various requirements applicable to public companies that were
not applicable to our Predecessor as a closely held private
company. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the NYSE rules impose
numerous requirements relating to a public companys
corporate governance and disclosure obligations. Compliance with
these requirements will require us to hire additional employees,
adopt new policies, procedures and controls, and cause us to
incur significant costs. For example, we will be required to
have specified board committees, adopt internal controls over
financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, and
file annual, quarterly and other reports and information with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.
If our prior history of incurring significant net losses
continues following this offering, we will be unable to expend
the funds necessary to hire additional employees and otherwise
comply with our increased disclosure and reporting obligations.
Our lack of prior experience in the operation of a public
company may reduce the likelihood that we will be able to
identify compliance and disclosure issues on a timely basis and
our failure to address these issues could materially and
adversely affect us due to fines and penalties associated with
compliance failure, an inability to
35
utilize certain SEC forms and offering methods to access the
public equity and debt markets quickly and the inability to
otherwise enjoy the benefits associated with our status as a
public company. If we identify any issues in complying with
requirements applicable to public companies, we would likely
incur additional costs remediating those issues and such costs
could be significant, and the existence of those issues could
materially and adversely affect us, our reputation or investor
perception of us. Failure to remediate compliance issues,
whether due to cost or otherwise, may result in negative action
against us, including fines, civil and criminal penalties or
delisting from the NYSE. Identification of these types of
compliance issues could also make it more difficult and
expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability
insurance, and we could be required to accept reduced policy
limits and insurance coverage or incur substantially higher
costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it
could become more difficult for us to attract and retain
qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as
executive officers. Any of the foregoing costs or factors could
materially and adversely affect us.
We
will be subject to the requirements of Section 302 and 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will be costly and
challenging.
Our management will be required to deliver a report that
assesses the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, pursuant to Section 302 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as of December 31 subsequent to the year in
which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part becomes effective. Internal controls are intended to
allow management or employees in the normal course of performing
their functions to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely
basis. A deficiency in internal controls exists when their
design or operation does not permit such prevention or detection
on a timely basis. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
requires our independent registered public accounting firm to
deliver an attestation report on the operating effectiveness of
our internal controls over financial reporting in conjunction
with their opinion on our audited financial statements as of the
same date.
Substantial work on our part is required to implement
appropriate processes, document the system of internal control
over key processes, assess their design, remediate any
deficiencies identified and test their operation. This process
is expected to be both costly and challenging. Our Predecessor
had not previously prepared consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, the financial statements of some of the entities
that are included in our Predecessors financial statements
were not individually audited. Consequently, it was necessary to
consolidate numerous financial statements, some of which were
unaudited, in anticipation of the audit of our
Predecessors financial statements. In the course of such
audit, it became necessary to prepare and record a number of
adjustments to correct the initial combined financial
statements. It was determined that these adjustments arose from
weaknesses within our internal control over financial reporting,
specifically our lack of policies, procedures and review
controls with respect to consolidation and the financial
reporting process and our lack of processes and procedures with
respect to the application of GAAP to certain transactions.
As a closely held private company, our Predecessor has not been
required to operate in compliance with the foregoing
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will be required to
design, implement and effectively execute and monitor additional
controls in order to comply with these requirements and
remediate any identified deficiencies. We have implemented
measures to address weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting and intend to bring our operations into
compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act within one
year following the completion of this offering as required, and
comply with the other mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, but
there can be no assurance that such compliance will be achieved
or maintained. If we are unable to implement and monitor
effective controls, we may be unable to comply with the
requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act within the required time period.
36
We cannot give any assurances that we will successfully
remediate any material weaknesses identified in connection with
our compliance with the provisions of Sections 302 and 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The existence of any material
weakness would preclude a conclusion by management and our
registered independent public accounting firm that we maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting. Our
management may be required to devote significant time and incur
significant expense to remediate any material weaknesses that
may be discovered and may not be able to remediate any material
weaknesses in a timely manner. The existence of a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could
also result in errors in our financial statements that could
require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail
to meet our reporting obligations and cause stockholders to lose
confidence in our reported financial information, any of which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Reporting
of on-campus crime statistics required of colleges and
universities may negatively impact our properties.
Federal and state laws require colleges and universities to
publish and distribute reports of on-campus crime statistics,
which may result in negative publicity and media coverage
associated with crimes occurring in the vicinity of, or on the
premises of, our on-campus properties. Reports of crime or other
negative publicity regarding the safety of the students residing
on, or near, our properties may have an adverse effect on both
our on-campus and off-campus properties.
We may
be subject to liabilities from litigation which could materially
and adversely affect us.
We may become involved in legal proceedings, including consumer,
employment, tort or commercial litigation that, if decided
adversely to or settled by us and not adequately covered by
insurance, could result in liabilities that could materially and
adversely affect us.
Risks
Related to the Real Estate Industry
Our
performance and the value of our properties are subject to risks
associated with real estate and with the real estate industry,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
Our ability to make distributions to our stockholders depends on
our ability to generate cash revenues in excess of our expenses,
including expenses associated with our development activities,
indebtedness and capital expenditure requirements. The
occurrence of certain events and conditions that are generally
applicable to owners and operators of real estate, many of which
are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect
us. These events and conditions include:
|
|
|
|
|
adverse national, regional and local economic conditions;
|
|
|
|
rising interest rates;
|
|
|
|
oversupply of student housing in our markets, increased
competition for student-tenants or reduction in demand for
student housing;
|
|
|
|
inability to collect rent from student-tenants;
|
|
|
|
vacancies at our properties or an inability to lease our
properties on favorable terms;
|
|
|
|
inability to finance property development and acquisitions on
favorable terms;
|
|
|
|
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums,
utilities and real estate taxes;
|
37
|
|
|
|
|
the need for capital expenditures at our properties;
|
|
|
|
costs of complying with changes in governmental regulations;
|
|
|
|
the relative illiquidity of real estate investments; and
|
|
|
|
civil unrest, acts of God, including earthquakes, floods,
hurricanes and other natural disasters, which may result in
uninsured losses, and acts of war or terrorism.
|
In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, such as
the one the global economy is currently experiencing, rising
interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the
public perception that any of these events may occur, could
result in a general decline in occupancy rates and rental
revenue or an increased incidence of defaults under our existing
leases, which could impair the value of our properties or reduce
our cash flow.
Illiquidity
of real estate investments could significantly impede our
ability to sell our properties or otherwise respond to adverse
changes in the performance of our properties, which could
materially and adversely affect us.
From time to time, we may determine that it is in our best
interest to sell one or more of our properties. However, because
real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we may
encounter difficulty in finding a buyer in a timely manner
should we desire to sell one of our properties, especially if
market conditions are poor at such time. Selling real estate has
been difficult recently, since the availability of credit has
become more limited, as lending standards have become more
stringent. As a result, potential buyers have experienced
difficulty in obtaining financing necessary to purchase a
property. In addition, our properties are specifically designed
for use as student housing, which could limit their
marketability or affect their values for alternative uses.
Consequently, should we desire to sell one or more of our
properties, our ability to do so promptly or on terms that we
deem to be acceptable may be limited, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
We also may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to
make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot
assure you that we will have funds available to correct any such
defects or to make any such improvements. In connection with any
future property acquisitions, we may agree to provisions that
materially restrict our ability to sell the property for a
period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a
limitation on the amount of debt that can be secured by or
repaid with respect to such property.
In addition, in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT and to
maintain such qualification, the Internal Revenue Code limits
our ability to sell properties held for less than two years,
which may cause us to incur losses thereby reducing our cash
flows. These factors and any others that would impede our
ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of any
of our properties or a need for liquidity could materially and
adversely affect us.
Increases
in property taxes would increase our operating costs, which
could materially and adversely affect our financial performance
and liquidity.
Each of our properties will be subject to real and personal
property taxes. These taxes may increase as tax rates change and
as the properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing
authorities. If property taxes increase, our operating costs
will increase, and therefore our financial performance and
liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.
38
We
could incur significant costs related to government regulation
and private litigation over environmental matters, which could
materially and adversely affect us.
Under various environmental laws, including the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or
CERCLA, a current or previous owner or operator of
real estate may be liable for contamination resulting from the
release or threatened release of hazardous or toxic substances
or petroleum at that property. Additionally, an entity that
arranges for the disposal or treatment of a hazardous or toxic
substance or petroleum at another property may be held jointly
and severally liable for the cost of investigating and cleaning
up such property or other affected property. Such parties are
known as potentially responsible parties, or PRPs. These
environmental laws often impose liability regardless of whether
the PRP knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the
contaminants, and the costs of any required investigation or
cleanup of these substances can be substantial. PRPs may also be
liable to parties who have claims for contribution in connection
with any such contamination, such as other PRPs or state and
federal governmental agencies. The liability is generally not
limited under such laws and therefore could easily exceed the
propertys value and the assets of the liable party.
The presence of contamination, hazardous materials or
environmental issues, or the failure to remediate such
conditions, at a property may expose us to third-party liability
for personal injury or property damage, remediation costs or
adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop the
property or to borrow using the property as collateral, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Environmental laws also impose ongoing compliance requirements
on owners and operators of real estate. Environmental laws
potentially affecting us address a wide variety of matters,
including, but not limited to, asbestos-containing building
materials, or ACBMs, storage tanks, storm water and
wastewater discharges, lead-based paint, radon, wetlands and
hazardous wastes. Failure to comply with these laws could result
in fines and penalties or expose us to third-party liability,
which could materially and adversely affect us. Some of our
properties may have conditions that are subject to these
requirements and we could be liable for such fines or penalties
or liable to third parties, as described below in Business
and PropertiesRegulationEnvironmental Matters.
The
conditions at some of our properties may expose us to liability
and remediation costs related to environmental matters, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Certain of our properties may contain, or may have contained,
ACBMs. Environmental laws require that ACBMs be properly managed
and maintained, and may impose fines and penalties on building
owners and operators for failure to comply with these
requirements. Also, some of our properties may contain, or may
have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that
may contain or may have contained storage tanks for the storage
of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Any of these conditions create the potential for the release of
these contaminants. Third parties may be permitted by law to
seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury or
property damage arising from such tanks. Additionally, third
parties may be permitted by law to seek recovery from owners or
operators for personal injury or property damage associated with
exposure to these or other contaminants that may be present on,
at or under the properties. Furthermore, some of our properties
include regulated wetlands on undeveloped portions of such
properties and mitigated wetlands on or near our properties, the
existence of which can delay or impede development or require
costs to be incurred to mitigate the impact of any disturbance.
Absent appropriate permits, we can be held responsible for
restoring wetlands and be required to pay fines and penalties,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
Over the past several years there have been an increasing number
of lawsuits against owners and operators of properties alleging
personal injury and property damage caused by the presence
39
of mold in real estate. Mold growth can occur when excessive
moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials,
particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is
not addressed over a period of time. Concern about indoor
exposure to mold has been increasing as some molds have been
shown to produce airborne toxins and irritants and exposure to
these and other types of molds may lead to adverse health
effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions.
Some of our properties may contain microbial matter such as mold
and mildew. The presence of significant mold at any of our
properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation
program to contain or remove the mold from the affected property
and could expose us to liability from student-tenants, employees
and others if property damage or health concerns arise, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
If any of our properties are not properly connected to a water
or sewer system, or if the integrity of such systems are
breached, microbial matter or other contamination can develop.
If this were to occur, we could incur significant remedial costs
and we could also be subject to private damage claims and
awards, which could be material. If we become subject to claims
in this regard, it could materially and adversely affect us and
our insurability for such matters in the future.
Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I
environmental site assessments on all of our properties. These
Phase I environmental site assessments are intended to evaluate
information regarding the environmental condition of the
surveyed property and surrounding properties based generally on
visual observations, interviews and the review of publicly
available information. These assessments do not typically take
into account all environmental issues including, but not limited
to, testing of soil or groundwater, a comprehensive asbestos
survey or an invasive inspection for the presence of lead-based
paint, radon or mold contamination. As a result, these
assessments may have failed to reveal all environmental
conditions, liabilities, or other compliance issues affecting
our properties. Material environmental conditions, liabilities,
or compliance issues may have arisen after the assessments were
conducted or may arise in the future.
In addition, future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose
material additional environmental liabilities. We cannot assure
you that the cost of future environmental compliance or remedial
measures will not affect our ability to make distributions to
our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures
will not be material to us.
In the event we decided to sell one of our properties, the
presence of hazardous substances on such property may limit our
ability to sell it on favorable terms or at all, and we may
incur substantial remediation costs.
The discovery of material environmental liabilities at one or
more of our properties could subject us to unanticipated
significant costs, which could materially and adversely affect
us.
We may
incur significant costs complying with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Act and similar laws, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the
ADA, all public accommodations must meet various
federal requirements related to access and use by disabled
persons. Compliance with the ADAs requirements may require
modifications to our properties, such as the removal of access
barriers or restrict our ability to renovate or develop our
properties in the manner we desire. In addition, in June 2008,
the Department of Justice proposed a substantial number of
changes to the accessibility guidelines under the ADA. In
January of 2009, President Obama suspended final publication and
implementation of these regulations, pending
40
comprehensive review by his administration. If implemented as
proposed, the new guidelines could cause some of our properties
to incur costly measures to become fully compliant.
Additional federal, state and local laws may also require us to
make similar modifications or impose similar restrictions on us.
For example, the Fair Housing Act, or FHA, requires
apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to
be accessible to the handicapped.
We have not conducted an audit or investigation of all of our
properties to determine our compliance with present requirements
of the ADA, FHA or any similar laws. Noncompliance with any of
these laws could result in us incurring significant costs to
make substantial modifications to our properties or in the
imposition of fines or an award or damages to private litigants.
We cannot predict the ultimate amount of the cost of compliance
with the ADA, FHA or other legislation. If we incur substantial
costs to comply with the ADA, FHA or any other legislation, we
could be materially and adversely affected.
We may
incur significant costs complying with other regulatory
requirements, which could materially and adversely affect
us.
Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local
regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life
safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these various
requirements, we might incur governmental fines or private
damage awards. Furthermore, existing requirements could change
and require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
Uninsured
losses or losses in excess of insured limits could materially
and adversely affect us.
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage,
terrorism and rental loss insurance covering all of our
properties. Our insurance includes coverage for earthquake
damage to properties located in seismically active areas,
windstorm damage to properties exposed to hurricanes, and
terrorism insurance on all of our properties. In each case, we
believe the coverage limits and applicable deductibles are
commercially reasonable. All insurance policies are subject to
coverage extensions that are typical for our business. We do not
carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from
riots or acts of God.
In the event we experience a loss which is uninsured or which
exceeds our policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in
the damaged property as well as the anticipated future cash
flows from such property. In addition, we might nevertheless
remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial
obligations related to the property. Inflation, changes in
building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and
other factors might also keep us from using insurance proceeds
to replace or renovate a property after it has been damaged or
destroyed. Under such circumstances, the insurance proceeds we
receive might be inadequate to restore our economic position
with respect to the damaged or destroyed property. Furthermore,
in the event of a substantial loss at one or more of our
properties that is covered by one or more policies, the
remaining insurance under these policies, if any, could be
insufficient to adequately insure our other properties. In such
event, securing additional insurance policies, if possible,
could be significantly more expensive than our current policies.
Any loss of these types may materially and adversely affect us.
41
Future
terrorist attacks in the U.S. or an increase in incidents of
violence on college campuses could reduce the demand for, and
the value of, our properties, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
Future terrorist attacks in the U.S., such as the attacks that
occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on
September 11, 2001, and acts of war, or threats of the
same, could reduce the demand for, and the value of, our
properties. Any such event in any of the markets in which our
properties are located would make it difficult for us to
maintain the affected propertys occupancy or to re-lease
the property at rates equal to or above historical rates, which
could materially and adversely affect us.
Incidents of violence on college campuses could pose similar
problems, with respect to the potential for a reduction of
demand for our properties if such an incident were to occur on a
college campus in one of our markets. Such an event in any of
our markets could not only adversely affect our occupancy rates,
but would also likely lead to increased operating expenses for
such properties due to increased security costs, which would
likely be necessary to reassure our student-tenants in the wake
of such an incident. Any such increase in operating expenses may
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of
the affected property.
In addition, terrorist attacks or violent incidents could
directly impact the value of our properties through damage,
destruction or loss and the availability of insurance for such
acts may be limited or prohibitively expensive. If we receive
casualty proceeds, we may not be able to reinvest such proceeds
profitably or at all, and we may be forced to recognize taxable
gain on the affected property, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
Risks
Related to Our Company and Structure
Provisions
of our charter allow our board of directors to authorize the
issuance of additional securities, which may limit the ability
of a third party to acquire control of us through a transaction
that our stockholders believe to be in their best
interest.
Upon completion of this offering, our charter will authorize our
board of directors to issue up to 90,000,000 shares of
common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. In addition, our board of directors may, without
stockholder approval, amend our charter to increase the
aggregate number of our shares or the number of shares of any
class or series that we have the authority to issue and to
classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred
stock and to set the preferences, rights and other terms of the
classified or reclassified stock. As a result, our board of
directors may authorize the issuance of additional stock or
establish a series of common or preferred stock that may have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of us, including through a transaction at a premium over
the market price of our common stock, even if our stockholders
believe that a change in control through such a transaction is
in their best interest.
Provisions
of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third party to
acquire control of us, which, in turn, may negatively affect our
stockholders ability to realize a premium over the market
price of our common stock.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, or
the MGCL, may have the effect of inhibiting a third
party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a
change in
42
control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our
stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the
market price of our common stock, including:
|
|
|
|
|
The Maryland Business Combination Act that, subject to
limitations, prohibits certain business combinations between us
and an interested stockholder (defined generally as
any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power
of our voting capital stock) or an affiliate of any interested
stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which
the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and
thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and special
stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
|
|
|
|
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act that provides
that our control shares (defined as shares which,
when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder,
entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing
ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a
control share acquisition (defined as the direct or
indirect acquisition of ownership or control of control
shares) have no voting rights except to the extent
approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter,
excluding all interested shares.
|
By resolution of our board of directors, we have opted out of
the business combination provisions of the MGCL and provided
that any business combination between us and any other person is
exempt from the business combination provisions of the MGCL,
provided that the business combination is first approved by our
board of directors (including a majority of directors who are
not affiliates or associates of such persons). Pursuant to a
provision in our bylaws, we have opted out of the control share
provisions of the MGCL. However, our board of directors may by
resolution elect to opt in to the business combination
provisions of the MGCL and we may, by amendment to our bylaws,
opt in to the control share provisions of the MGCL in the future.
Additionally, Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits our
board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless
of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to
implement certain takeover defenses, such as a classified board,
some of which we do not yet have. These provisions may have the
effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition
proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change
in control of us that otherwise could provide our stockholders
with the opportunity to realize a premium over the market price
of our common stock.
The
ownership limitations in our charter may restrict or prevent you
from engaging in certain transfers of our common stock, which
may delay or prevent a change in control of us that our
stockholders believe to be in their best interest.
In order for us to qualify as a REIT for each taxable year after
2010, no more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of our
common stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or
fewer individuals (as defined in the federal income tax laws to
include various kinds of entities) during the last half of any
taxable year. Attribution rules in the Internal Revenue Code
determine if any individual or entity actually or constructively
owns our common stock under this requirement. Additionally, at
least 100 persons must beneficially own shares of our
common stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year for
each taxable year after 2010. To assist us in qualifying as a
REIT, our charter contains a stock ownership limit which
provides that, subject to certain exceptions, no person or
entity may beneficially own, or be deemed to own by virtue of
the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, more than 9.8% by vote or value, whichever is more
restrictive, of either our outstanding common stock or our
outstanding capital stock in the aggregate. Generally, any of
our shares of common stock owned by affiliated owners will be
added together for purposes of the stock ownership limit.
43
If anyone transfers shares of our stock in a way that would
violate the stock ownership limit or prevent us from qualifying
as a REIT under the federal income tax laws, those shares
instead will be transferred to a trust for the benefit of a
charitable beneficiary and will be either redeemed by us or sold
to a person whose ownership of the shares will not violate the
stock ownership limit or we will consider the transfer to be
null and void from the outset, and the intended transferee of
those shares will be deemed never to have owned the shares.
Anyone who acquires shares of our common stock in violation of
the stock ownership limit or the other restrictions on transfer
in our charter bears the risk of suffering a financial loss when
the shares are redeemed or sold if their market price falls
between the date of purchase and the date of redemption or sale.
The constructive ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code
are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively
by a group of related individuals or entities to be owned
constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the
acquisition of less than 9.8% of our stock (or the acquisition
of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or
constructively, our stock) by an individual or entity, could,
nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another
individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% of
our outstanding stock and therefore they would be subject to the
stock ownership limit. Our charter, however, allows exceptions
to be made to this limitation if our board of directors
determines that such exceptions will not jeopardize our tax
status as a REIT.
In addition, the stock ownership limit and the other
restrictions on transfer in our charter may have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from acquiring
control of us, whether such a transaction involved a premium
price for our common stock or otherwise was in the best interest
of our stockholders.
Our
rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against
our directors and officers are limited, which could limit the
recourse available in the event actions are taken that are not
in the best interest of our stockholders.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in
connection with the directors management of the business
and affairs of a corporation if he or she performs his or her
duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes
to be in the best interests of the corporation and with the care
that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use
under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter exculpates
our directors and officers from liability to us and our
stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting
from actual receipt of an improper benefit in money, property or
services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our
charter authorizes us to indemnify our directors and officers
for actions taken by them in those capacities to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law. Our bylaws require us to
indemnify each director or officer, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by
reason of his or her service to us. In addition, we may be
obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors
and officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more
limited rights against our directors and officers, which could
limit the recourse available in the event actions are taken that
are not in our stockholders best interest.
Our
charter contains provisions that make removal of our directors
difficult, which could make it difficult for our stockholders to
effect changes to our management that our stockholders believe
to be in their best interest.
Our charter provides that a director may be removed only for
cause (as defined in our charter) and then only by the
affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to
be cast generally in the election of directors. Our charter also
provides that vacancies on our board of
44
directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining
directors in office, even if less than a quorum. These
requirements prevent stockholders from removing directors except
for cause and with a substantial affirmative vote and from
replacing directors with their own nominees. As a result, a
change in our management that our stockholders believe is in
their best interest may be delayed, deferred or prevented.
Our
board of directors has approved very broad investment guidelines
for us and will not review or approve each investment decision
made by our management team.
Our management team is authorized to follow broad investment
guidelines and, therefore, has great latitude in determining
which are the proper investments for us, as well as the
individual investment decisions. Our management team may make
investments with lower rates of return than those anticipated
under current market conditions
and/or may
make investments with greater risks to achieve those anticipated
returns.
The
ability of our board of directors to change some of our policies
without the consent of our stockholders may lead to the adoption
of policies that are not in the best interest of our
stockholders.
Our major policies, including our policies with respect to
investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and
capitalization, will be determined by our board of directors or
those committees or officers to whom our board of directors may
delegate such authority. Our board of directors will also
establish the amount of any dividends or distributions that we
may pay to our stockholders. Our board of directors or the
committees or officers to which such decisions may be delegated
will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other
policies at any time without stockholder vote. Accordingly, our
stockholders may not have control over changes in our policies,
and we may adopt policies that may not prove to be in the best
interests of our stockholders.
As a
result of our formation transactions, which were not negotiated
on an arms length basis, our existing investors will
receive substantial economic benefits from this
offering.
MXT Capital will receive 232,593 OP units for the
contribution of its interests in the predecessor entities and
its student housing business and $3.3 million of the net
proceeds from this offering, which will be used for the
repayment of certain indebtedness. Ted W. Rollins, our
co-chairman and chief executive officer, and Michael S.
Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment officer, by
virtue of their indirect ownership in MXT Capital, and therefore
the various entities that own interests in the predecessor
entities, will be entitled to receive a significant portion of
the benefits of this offering received by MXT Capital. MXT
Capital, through Campus Crest Group, and the Ricker Group were
the principal prior owners of our predecessor entities and MXT
Capital played a significant role in structuring our formation.
In the course of structuring our formation, MXT Capital had the
ability to influence the type and level of benefits that it and
our executive officers would receive from us. It also had the
ability to influence the other terms of our formation
transactions, including, without limitation, the representations
and warranties that it made to us in our formation transactions
and the indemnities that it provided to us for breaches of such
representations and warranties. In addition, as a result of this
offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom,
Mr. Rollins and Mr. Hartnett will each be released
from certain personal guarantees with respect to mortgage and
construction indebtedness with, in each case, an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $243.3 million, and from
personal guarantees with respect to the RHR, LLC and Capital
Bank indebtedness described below, and the MXT Capital
indebtedness described above. Each of Messrs. Rollins and
Hartnett will be released from certain personal guarantees with
respect to the preferred membership interest in CC-Encore. MXT
Capital will also receive Campus Crest Groups interests in
two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of
45
approximately $1.9 million, on which we have decided not to
build student housing properties. In addition, we will enter
into a registration rights agreement with MXT Capital pursuant
to which we will agree, among other things, to register the
resale of any common stock that may be exchanged for the OP
units issued in our formation transactions.
The Ricker Group will receive approximately $17.4 million
from the net proceeds from this offering for the contribution of
its interests in the predecessor entities and its interest in
the entities that own fee interests in certain properties that
were subject to ground leases such that our operating
partnership will have, following the completion of this offering
and our formation transactions, fee simple title to the real
estate that is the subject of the leases. Following this
transfer, none of the predecessor entities other than Campus
Crest at Mobile, LLC and Campus Crest at Mobile Phase II, LLC
(which own The Grove at Mobile in Mobile, AL) and Campus Crest
at Moscow, LLC (which owns The Grove at Moscow in Moscow,
ID) shall be subject to any ground lease with an
unaffiliated third party. In addition, as a result of this
offering and the use of the net proceeds therefrom,
Mr. Ricker will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to mortgage and construction
indebtedness in an aggregate amount of approximately
$205.9 million, and from personal guarantees with respect
to the RHR, LLC and Capital Bank indebtedness described below,
and the MXT Capital indebtedness described above.
Certain third-party investors will receive in aggregate
approximately $10.7 million from the net proceeds from this
offering and approximately 53,000 OP units for the
contribution of their interests in the predecessor entities.
We will use approximately $4.0 million of the net proceeds
from this offering to repay our indebtedness to Capital Bank, an
entity in which the Ricker Group has an ownership interest and
of which Carl H. Ricker, Jr. is a director.
We will use approximately $6.0 million of the net proceeds
from this offering to repay indebtedness owed by us to RHR, LLC,
an entity owned by MXT Capital and the Ricker Group. RHR, LLC
will, in turn, immediately repay an equal amount of indebtedness
owed by it to an unaffiliated third party on substantially the
same terms and conditions as the loan from RHR, LLC to us.
Since we did not conduct arms length negotiations with our
existing investors with respect to the terms of our formation
transactions, the terms of the agreements we reached with these
investors may not be as favorable to us as if they were so
negotiated.
Members
of our management and board of directors will be holders of OP
units, and their interests may differ from those of our
stockholders.
After the consummation of this offering, members of our
management and board of directors will also be direct or
indirect holders of OP units. As holders of OP units, they may
have conflicting interests with our stockholders. For example,
they may have different tax positions from our stockholders,
which could influence their decisions regarding whether and when
to dispose of assets, whether and when to incur new indebtedness
or refinance existing indebtedness and how to structure future
transactions. As a result, our management and board of directors
may implement policies or make decisions that are not in the
best interest of our stockholders.
Members
of our management will be beneficiaries of a tax protection
agreement that may require us to maintain indebtedness that we
otherwise would not.
MXT Capital will enter into a tax protection agreement with us.
Pursuant to the tax protection agreement, we will agree to
maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of $56.0 million
throughout the ten-year tax protection period in order to allow
a sufficient amount of debt to be
46
allocable to MXT Capital to avoid certain adverse tax
consequences. If we fail to maintain such minimum indebtedness
throughout the ten-year tax protection period, we will be
required to make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital, in an
amount equal to the federal, state and local taxes, if any,
imposed on its members as a result of any income or gain
recognized by them by reason of such failure. The amount of such
taxes will be computed based on the highest applicable federal,
state and local marginal tax rates, as well as any grossed
up taxes imposed on such payments. This requirement may
restrict our ability to reduce leverage when we otherwise might
wish to do so and generally reduce our flexibility in managing
our capital structure The tax protection agreement will not
require us to make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital by
reason of any built-in gain allocated to its members upon the
disposition of any of our properties.
We
will enter into employment agreements with certain of our
executive officers that will require us to make payments in the
event such officers employment is terminated by us without
cause or by such officer for good reason. This may make it
difficult for us to effect changes to our management or limit
the ability of a third party to acquire control of us that would
otherwise be in the best interest of our
stockholders.
The employment agreements that we will enter into with certain
of our executive officers upon completion of this offering
provide benefits under certain circumstances that could make it
more difficult for us to terminate these officers. Therefore,
even if we sought to replace these officers, it may not be
economically viable for us to do so. Furthermore, because an
acquiring company would likely seek to replace these officers
with their own personnel, these employment agreements could have
the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
control of us that would otherwise be in the best interest of
our stockholders.
After
the consummation of this offering and our formation
transactions, our primary assets will be our general partner
interest in our operating partnership and OP units and, as a
result, we will depend on distributions from our operating
partnership to pay dividends and expenses.
After the consummation of this offering and our formation
transactions, we will be a holding company and will have no
material assets other than our general partner interest and OP
units. We intend to cause our operating partnership to make
distributions to its limited partners, including us, in an
amount sufficient to allow us to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes and to pay all our expenses. To the extent
we need funds and our operating partnership is restricted from
making distributions under applicable law, agreement or
otherwise, or if our operating partnership is otherwise unable
to provide such funds, the failure to make such distributions
could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and
our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We
operate through a partnership structure, which could materially
and adversely affect us.
Our primary property-owning vehicle is our operating
partnership, of which we are the sole general partner. Our
acquisition of properties through our operating partnership in
exchange, in part, for OP units may permit certain tax deferral
advantages to the sellers of those properties. Since the
properties contributed to our operating partnership may have
unrealized gain attributable to the difference between the fair
market value and adjusted tax basis in such properties prior to
contribution, the sale of such properties could cause material
and adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who
contributed such properties. Although we, as the sole general
partner of our operating partnership, generally have no
obligation to consider the tax consequences of our actions to
any limited partner, we have agreed to indemnify MXT Capital for
certain tax consequences related to our properties and there can
be no assurance that our
47
operating partnership will not acquire properties in the future
subject to material restrictions designed to minimize the
adverse tax consequences to the limited partners who contribute
such properties. Such restrictions could result in significantly
reduced flexibility to manage our properties, which could
materially and adversely affect us.
We
have fiduciary duties as sole general partner of our operating
partnership which may result in conflicts of interest in
representing your interests as our stockholders.
After the consummation of this offering, conflicts of interest
could arise in the future as a result of the relationship
between us, on the one hand, and our operating partnership or
any partner thereof, on the other. We, as the sole general
partner of our operating partnership, will have fiduciary duties
to the other limited partners in our operating partnership under
Delaware law. At the same time, our directors and officers have
duties to us and our stockholders under applicable Maryland law
in connection with their management of us. Our duties as the
sole general partner of our operating partnership may come in
conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to us and
our stockholders. For example, those persons holding OP units
will have the right to vote on certain amendments to the
partnership agreement (which require approval by a majority in
interest of the limited partners, including us) and individually
to approve certain amendments that would adversely affect their
rights. These voting rights may be exercised in a manner that
conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. We are unable
to modify the rights of limited partners to receive
distributions as set forth in the partnership agreement in a
manner that adversely affects their rights without their
consent, even though such modification might be in the best
interest of our stockholders. Our partnership agreement will
provide that if there is a conflict between the interests of our
stockholders, on one hand, and the interests of the limited
partners, on the other, we will endeavor in good faith to
resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our
stockholders or the limited partners; provided, however, that
for so long as we own a controlling interest in our operating
partnership, we have agreed to resolve any conflict that cannot
be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders
or the limited partners in favor of our stockholders.
Changes
in accounting rules, assumptions and/or judgments could
materially and adversely affect us.
Accounting rules and interpretations for certain aspects of our
operations are highly complex and involve significant
assumptions and judgment. These complexities could lead to a
delay in the preparation and public dissemination of our
financial statements. Furthermore, changes in accounting rules
and interpretations or in our accounting assumptions
and/or
judgments, such as asset impairments, could significantly impact
our financial statements. Under any of these circumstances, we
could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks
Related to this Offering
We may
not be able to make an initial distribution or maintain any
initial, or any subsequent, distribution rate, and we may be
required to fund the minimum distribution necessary to qualify
for taxation as a REIT from sources that could reduce our cash
flows.
We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our common
stockholders and intend to pay a pro rata initial distribution
with respect to the period commencing on the completion of this
offering and ending December 31, 2010. Our ability to fund
this distribution will depend, in part, upon continued
successful leasing of our existing portfolio, expected future
development activity and fee income from development,
construction and management services. To the extent these
sources are insufficient, we intend to use our working capital
or borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund these
distributions. If we need to fund future distributions with
borrowings under our revolving credit facility or from working
capital, or if we reduce our
48
distribution rate, our stock price may be adversely affected. In
addition, to the extent that we fund any distributions with
borrowings under our revolving credit facility or from working
capital, our cash available for investment in our business,
including for property development and acquisition purposes,
will decrease.
In addition, in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT, among
other requirements, we must make distributions to stockholders
aggregating annually 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding
net capital gains. To the extent that, in respect of any
calendar year, cash available for distribution to our
stockholders is less than our REIT taxable income, we would be
required to fund the minimum distribution necessary to qualify
for taxation as a REIT from other sources, which could include
asset sales or borrowings. Funding a distribution through asset
sales or borrowings could reduce our cash flow from operations,
increase our interest expense and decrease our cash available
for investment in our business. We may also choose to meet this
distribution requirement by distributing a combination of cash
and shares of our common stock. Under recent IRS guidance, up to
90% of any such distribution may be made in shares of our common
stock. If we choose to make a distribution consisting in part of
shares of our common stock, the holders of our common stock may
be subject to adverse tax consequences. See Federal
Income Tax Risk FactorsWe may in the future choose to pay
dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to
pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you
receive below.
Any distributions in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits will not be taxable to a holder to the
extent that they do not exceed the adjusted basis of the
holders shares in respect of which the distributions were
made, but rather, will reduce the adjusted basis of these
shares. To the extent that such distributions exceed the
adjusted basis of a stockholders shares, they will
generally be included in income as capital gains. For a more
complete discussion of the tax treatment of distributions to our
stockholders, see Federal Income Tax Considerations.
A
public market for our common stock may never develop and your
ability to sell your shares of our common stock may be
limited.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. Our common stock has been approved for listing on
the NYSE under the symbol CCG, subject to
official notice of issuance. However, an active trading market
for our common stock may never develop or, even if one does
develop, may not be sustained. In the absence of an active
trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate an
investment in shares of our common stock at a favorable price or
at all. The initial public offering price has been determined by
us and the underwriters. We cannot assure you that the price at
which the common stock will sell in the public market after the
closing of this offering will not be lower than the price at
which they are sold by the underwriters.
Common
stock eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of
shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our
common stock for future sale on the market price of our common
stock. Any sales of a substantial number of shares of our common
stock in the public market (including shares issued to our
directors and officers), or the perception that such sales might
occur, may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We, each of our directors and executive officers and
MXT Capital have agreed, with limited exceptions, that we
and they will not, without the prior written consent of Raymond
James & Associates, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC
49
Capital Markets Corporation, for a period of one year after the
date of this prospectus (subject to extension under certain
circumstances), among other things, directly or indirectly,
offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of our
common stock or securities that are convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of common stock or file a registration
statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of
our common stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
In addition, we have agreed with the underwriters that we will
not, during the same period of time, issue any shares of our
common stock in exchange for any OP units. However, the
underwriters named above may, at any time, release all or any
portion of the shares of common stock subject to the foregoing
lock-up
provisions. If these restrictions are waived, the affected
shares of common stock may be available for sale into the market
which could reduce the market price of our common stock.
Under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan, we have the ability to
issue options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs,
restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance shares,
performance units, dividend equivalents, restricted OP units and
other stock-based awards to our executive officers, employees
and non-employee directors. In connection with this offering, we
intend to file a registration statement on
Form S-8
to register all shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan, and once we register these
shares, they can be freely sold in the public market after
issuance, subject to the terms of the plan and the
lock-up
provisions discussed above. MXT Capital will enter into a
registration rights agreement with us. Pursuant to that
agreement, we will agree, among other things, to register the
resale of any common stock that may be exchanged for the OP
units issued in our formation transactions. This agreement
requires us to seek to register all common stock that may be
exchanged for OP units effective as of that date which is
12 months following completion of this offering on a shelf
registration statement under the Securities Act. We also may
issue from time to time common stock or cause our operating
partnership to issue OP units in connection with the acquisition
of properties and we may grant demand or piggyback registration
rights in connection with these issuances. Registration of the
sales of these shares of our common stock would facilitate their
sale into the public market. Sales of substantial amounts of our
common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may
have the effect of reducing the market price of our common stock
and impeding our ability to raise future capital. In addition,
any future sales of shares of our common stock may dilute the
value of our common stock.
The
market price of our common stock may be volatile due to numerous
circumstances, some of which are beyond our
control.
Even if an active trading market develops for our common stock,
the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and
subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance,
government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates and
market conditions in general could have a significant impact on
the market price of our common stock. Some of the factors that
could negatively affect the market price or result in
fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:
|
|
|
|
|
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating
results;
|
|
|
|
changes in our financial performance or earnings estimates;
|
|
|
|
increases in market interest rates;
|
|
|
|
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
|
|
|
|
adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we incur in the
future;
|
|
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
50
|
|
|
|
|
actions by our stockholders;
|
|
|
|
speculation in the press or investment community;
|
|
|
|
general market, economic and political conditions, including the
recent economic slowdown and dislocation in the global credit
markets;
|
|
|
|
our issuance of additional shares of common stock or other
securities;
|
|
|
|
the performance of other similar companies;
|
|
|
|
changes in accounting principles;
|
|
|
|
passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that
adversely affect us or our industry; and
|
|
|
|
the potential impact of the recent economic slowdown on the
student housing industry and related budgets of colleges and
universities.
|
Market
interest rates may adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.
One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding
whether to buy or sell our common stock will be the dividend
yield on our common stock as a percentage of our stock price,
relative to market interest rates. An increase in market
interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of our common
stock to expect a higher dividend yield in order to maintain
their investment, and higher interest rates would likely
increase our borrowing costs which would reduce our cash flow,
cash available to service our indebtedness or invest in our
business and adversely affect our ability to make distributions
to our stockholders. As a result, higher market interest rates
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Future
offerings of debt or equity securities ranking senior to our
common stock may limit our operating and financial flexibility
and may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
If we decide to issue debt or equity securities in the future
ranking senior to our common stock or otherwise incur
indebtedness, it is possible that these securities or
indebtedness will be governed by an indenture or other
instrument containing covenants restricting our operating
flexibility and limiting our ability to make distributions to
our stockholders. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable
securities that we issue in the future may have rights,
preferences and privileges, including with respect to
distributions, more favorable than those of our common stock and
may result in dilution to owners of our common stock. Because
our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future
offering or otherwise incur indebtedness will depend on then
current market conditions and other factors beyond our control,
we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of
our future offerings or financings, any of which could adversely
affect the market price, and dilute the value of, our common
stock.
51
We
have not obtained appraisals of our properties in connection
with this offering. As a result, the price we pay to our
existing investors for their interests in our predecessor
entities, including the interests we intend to purchase from MXT
Capital, which was not negotiated in an arms length
transaction, may exceed our properties market
value.
We have not obtained appraisals of our properties in connection
with this offering. The consideration we have agreed to pay to
our existing investors for their interests in our predecessor
entities, including MXT Capital, which was not negotiated in an
arms length transaction, was determined by our executive
officers based upon a capitalization rate analysis, an internal
rate of return analysis, an assessment of the fair market value
of the properties and the consideration of other factors, such
as per bed value and the liquidation preference with respect to
certain interests. As a result, this consideration may exceed
our properties individual market values.
The initial public offering price of our common stock was
determined in consultation with the underwriters and does not
necessarily bear any relationship to the book value or the
market value of our properties. Factors considered in
determining the initial public offering price included the
valuation multiples of publicly traded companies that the
underwriters believe to be comparable to us, our financial
information, the history of, and the prospects for, us and the
industry in which we compete, an assessment of our management,
its past and present operations, and the prospects for, and
timing of, our future revenues, the present state of our
development, and the above factors in relation to market values
and various valuation measures of other companies engaged in
activities similar to ours. As a result, our value, as
represented by the initial public offering price of our common
stock, may exceed the market value of our individual properties.
Purchasers
of our common stock in this offering will experience immediate
and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price of our common stock is
substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share
of our common stock immediately after this offering. As of
June 30, 2010, the aggregate historical combined net
tangible book value of the interests and assets to be
transferred to our operating partnership was approximately
$(53.4) million, or $(187.14) per share of our common stock
on a fully-diluted basis. The pro forma net tangible book value
per share of our common stock after the consummation of this
offering and our formation transactions will be less than the
initial public offering price. You will therefore experience
immediate dilution of $4.13 per share immediately after this
offering.
In
addition to the underwriting discount and other fees, our
underwriters and certain associated persons will receive other
benefits from this offering.
In addition to the underwriting discount and other fees to be
received by our underwriters in connection with this offering,
we expect that affiliates of Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman,
Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC Capital
Markets Corporation will be lenders under our revolving credit
facility that will become effective immediately upon completion
of this offering and satisfaction of customary loan closing
conditions. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. is also
entitled to a payment of $1.5 million for services rendered
in connection with various financing and purchase and sale
arrangements. In addition, we will purchase the preferred
membership interest of CC-Encore for $3.9 million out of
the net proceeds of this offering from RJRC, LLC, an entity
owned by certain associated persons of Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Encore and other third-party investors. These
transactions create a potential conflict of interest because
certain of the underwriters and certain associated persons of
the underwriters have interests in the successful completion of
this offering beyond the underwriting discount that the
underwriters will receive. These interests may influence the
52
decision regarding the terms and circumstances under which the
offering and our formation transactions are completed. See
UnderwritingOther Relationships.
The underwriters have engaged in commercial and investment
banking transactions with our contributors in the ordinary
course of their business and may in the future engage in
commercial and investment banking transactions with us
and/or our
affiliates in the ordinary course of their business. They have
received, and expect to receive, customary compensation and
expense reimbursement for these commercial and investment
banking transactions.
Federal
Income Tax Risk Factors
Our
failure to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT could have a
material and adverse effect on us and the market price of our
common stock.
We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify
as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the
Internal Revenue Code. We have not requested and do not plan to
request a ruling from the IRS, that we qualify as a REIT, and
the statements in this prospectus are not binding on the IRS or
any court. If we fail to qualify or lose our qualification as a
REIT, we will face serious tax consequences that would
substantially reduce the funds available for distribution to our
stockholders for each of the years involved because:
|
|
|
|
|
we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to
stockholders in computing our taxable income and we would be
subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate
rates;
|
|
|
|
we also could be subject to the U.S. federal alternative
minimum tax and possibly increased state and local
taxes; and
|
|
|
|
unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory
provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four
taxable years following a year during which we were disqualified.
|
In addition, if we lose our qualification as a REIT, we will not
be required to make distributions to stockholders, and all
distributions to our stockholders will be subject to tax as
regular corporate dividends to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits. This means that our
U.S. individual stockholders would be taxed on our
dividends at a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate
currently at 15%, and our corporate stockholders generally would
be entitled to the dividends received deduction with respect to
such dividends, subject, in each case, to applicable limitations
under the Internal Revenue Code.
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly
technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions and
regulations promulgated thereunder for which there are only
limited judicial and administrative interpretations. Even a
technical or inadvertent violation could jeopardize our ability
to qualify as a REIT. The complexity of these provisions and of
the applicable U.S. Treasury Department regulations, or
Treasury Regulations, that have been promulgated
under the Internal Revenue Code is greater in the case of a REIT
that, like us, holds its assets through a partnership. The
determination of various factual matters and circumstances not
entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as
a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number
of requirements on a continuing basis, including requirements
regarding the composition of our assets, sources of our gross
income and stockholder ownership. Also, we must make
distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90%
of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains.
As a result of these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT
could materially and adversely affect us and the market price of
our common stock.
53
To
qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, we will likely rely on
the availability of equity and debt capital to fund our
business.
To qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, we generally must
distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable
income each year, excluding net capital gains, and we will be
subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we
distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income each year.
In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax
on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any
calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary
income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our
undistributed income from prior years. Because of REIT
distribution requirements, we may be unable to fund capital
expenditures, such as our developments, future acquisitions or
property upgrades or renovations from operating cash flow.
Therefore, we may be dependent on the public equity and debt
capital markets and private lenders to fund our growth and other
capital expenditures. However, we may not be able to obtain this
capital on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party
sources of capital depends, in part, on:
|
|
|
|
|
general market conditions;
|
|
|
|
our current debt levels and the number of properties subject to
encumbrances;
|
|
|
|
our current performance and the markets perception of our
growth potential;
|
|
|
|
our cash flow and cash dividends; and
|
|
|
|
the market price of our common stock.
|
If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not
be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic
opportunities exist, satisfy our debt service obligations or
make the cash distributions to our stockholders, including those
necessary to qualify or maintain our qualification as a REIT,
which could materially and adversely affect us.
Even
if we qualify as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that
have a material and adverse affect on our financial performance
and liquidity.
Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to
certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets,
including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from
some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and
state or local income, property and transfer taxes. Any of these
taxes would cause our operating costs to increase, and therefore
our financial performance and liquidity could be materially and
adversely affected.
In particular, various services provided at our properties are
not permitted to be provided directly by our Operating
Partnership, but must be provided through TRSs that are treated
as fully taxable corporations. Although we do not anticipate
this to be the case, it is possible that the income that is
derived by, and subject to corporate income tax in the hands of,
such TRSs may be significant.
To
qualify or remain qualified as a REIT, we may be forced to limit
the activities of our taxable REIT subsidiaries, which could
materially and adversely affect us.
To qualify or remain qualified as a REIT, no more than 25% of
the value of our total assets may consist of the securities of
one or more TRSs. Certain of our activities, such as our
third-party development, construction, management and leasing
services, must be conducted through our TRSs for us to qualify
or remain qualified as a REIT. In addition, certain
non-customary
54
services must be provided by a TRS or an independent contractor.
If the revenues from such activities create a risk that the
value of our TRSs, based on revenues or otherwise, approaches
the 25% threshold, we will be forced to curtail such activities
or take other steps to remain under the 25% threshold. Since the
25% threshold is based on value, it is possible that the IRS
could successfully contend that the value of our TRSs exceeds
the 25% threshold even if our TRSs account for less than 25% of
our consolidated revenues, income or cash flow. After our
formation transactions, our third-party services will be
performed by our TRSs. Consequently, income earned from our
third-party services and non-customary services will be subject
to regular federal income taxation and state and local income
taxation where applicable, thus reducing the amount of cash
available for distribution to our stockholders.
A TRS is not permitted to directly or indirectly operate or
manage a hotel, motel or other establishment more than
one-half of the dwelling units in which are used on a transient
basis. We have been advised by counsel that the proposed
method of operating our TRSs will not be considered to
constitute such an activity. Future Treasury Regulations or
other guidance interpreting the applicable provisions might
adopt a different approach, or the IRS might disagree with the
conclusion of our counsel. In such event we might be forced to
change our method of operating our TRSs, or one or more of the
TRSs could fail to qualify as a TRS, which could cause us to
fail to qualify as a REIT. Any of the foregoing circumstances
could materially and adversely affect us.
If our
operating partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT
and we could be materially and adversely affected.
We believe that our operating partnership will qualify to be
treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a
partnership, our operating partnership will not be subject to
federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners,
including us, will be required to pay tax on its allocable share
of our operating partnerships income. No assurance can be
provided, however, that the IRS, will not challenge its status
as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a
court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were
successful in treating our operating partnership as a
corporation for tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross
income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs
and, accordingly, cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure
of the our operating partnership to qualify as a partnership
would cause it to become subject to federal state and corporate
income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of cash
available for debt service and for distribution to its partners,
including us.
Dividends
payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates
available for some dividends, which could materially and
adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
The maximum tax rate applicable to income from qualified
dividends payable to U.S. stockholders that are
individuals, trusts and estates has been reduced by legislation
to 15% (through the end of 2010). Dividends payable by REITs,
however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates.
Although this does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or
dividends payable by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable
to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors
who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments
in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in
the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which
could materially and adversely affect the market price of the
stock of REITs, including shares of our common stock.
55
We may
in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which
case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the
cash dividends you receive.
We may in the future distribute taxable dividends that are
payable in cash and shares of our common stock at the election
of each stockholder. Under Revenue Procedure
2010-12
(which extends guidance previously issued by the IRS in Revenue
Procedure
2009-15), up
to 90% of any such taxable dividend through 2011 could be
payable in our stock. Taxable stockholders receiving such
dividends will be required to include the full amount of the
dividend as ordinary income to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax
purposes. As a result, stockholders may be required to pay
income taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the
cash dividends received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the
stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax,
the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in
income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market
price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore,
with respect to certain
non-U.S. stockholders,
we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to
such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such
dividend that is payable in stock. In addition, if a significant
number of our stockholders determine to sell shares of our
common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put
downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
Further, while Revenue Procedure
2010-12
applies only to taxable dividends payable in cash or stock
through 2011, it is unclear whether and to what extent we will
be able to pay taxable dividends in cash and stock in later
years. Moreover, various aspects of such a taxable cash/stock
dividend are uncertain and have not yet been addressed by the
IRS. No assurance can be given that the IRS will not impose
additional requirements in the future with respect to taxable
cash/stock dividends, including on a retroactive basis, or
assert that the requirements for such taxable cash/stock
dividends have not been met.
Complying
with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge
effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities, which
could materially and adversely affect our financial performance
and liquidity.
The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code substantially
limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Any income from a
hedging transaction we enter into to manage risk of interest
rate changes with respect to borrowings made or to be made to
acquire or carry real estate assets generally does not
constitute gross income for purposes of the 75%
gross income test or the 95% gross income test, if certain
requirements are met. To the extent that we enter into other
types of hedging transactions, the income from those
transactions is likely to be treated as
non-qualifying
income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a
result, we might have to limit our use of advantageous hedging
techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could
increase the cost of our hedging activities because a domestic
TRS would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater
risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would
otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in our TRSs will
generally not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried
forward against future taxable income in the respective TRS.
These increased costs could materially and adversely affect our
financial performance and liquidity.
Complying
with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo otherwise
attractive investment opportunities, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
To qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
we continually must satisfy tests concerning, among other
things, the sources of our income, the type and diversification
of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and
the ownership of our stock. We may be unable to pursue
investments that would be otherwise advantageous to us in order
to satisfy the
source-of-income,
asset-diversification or distribution requirements for
qualifying as a REIT. Thus,
56
compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to
make certain attractive investments, which could materially and
adversely affect us.
The
ability of our board of directors to revoke our REIT election
without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to
our stockholders.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or
otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of
our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our
best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to
qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to federal income tax
on our taxable income and would no longer be required to
distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders, which
may have adverse consequences on the total return to our
stockholders.
New
legislation, regulation or administrative or judicial action, in
each instance potentially with retroactive effect, could make it
more difficult or impossible for us to qualify as a
REIT.
The present U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs may
be modified, possibly with retroactive effect, by legislative,
regulation, administrative or judicial action at any time, which
could affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an
investment in our common stock. The U.S. federal income tax
rules that affect REITs are under constant review by persons
involved in the legislative process, the IRS and the
U.S. Treasury Department, which results in statutory
changes as well as frequent revisions to regulations and
interpretations. Revisions in U.S. federal tax laws and
interpretations thereof could cause us to change our investments
and commitments, which could also affect the tax considerations
of an investment in our common stock.

USE OF
PROCEEDS
We estimate we will receive gross proceeds from this offering of
approximately $354.2 million or approximately
$407.3 million if the underwriters overallotment
option is exercised in full. After deducting the underwriting
discount and other estimated fees and expenses payable by us, we
expect net proceeds from this offering of approximately
$325.8 million or approximately $375.7 million if the
underwriters overallotment option is exercised in full.
We will contribute the net proceeds from this offering to our
operating partnership. Assuming no exercise of the
underwriters overallotment option, we intend to use the
net proceeds from this offering and approximately
$45.2 million of borrowings under our revolving credit
facility as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
approximately $287.1 million to reduce outstanding mortgage
and construction loan indebtedness and pay associated costs, as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
$104.0 million outstanding under our mortgage loan with
Silverton Bank (this loan, or the Silverton Bank Mortgage Loan,
is secured by six of our properties and has an aggregate
outstanding principal amount of approximately
$104.0 million, as of June 30, 2010, an interest rate
of 6.4% per annum and a maturity date of February 28, 2013);
|
|
|
|
$15.6 million outstanding under our construction loan with
Wachovia Bank relating to The Grove at Mobile-Phase II
(this loan, or The Grove at Mobile-Phase II Construction Loan,
is secured by The Grove at Mobile-Phase II, has an aggregate

$15.6 million, as of June 30, 2010, an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 300 basis points (with a 5.5% interest rate floor)
and a maturity date of October 31, 2010);
|
|
|
|
$150.2 million to Wachovia Bank as it relates to nine of
our properties (this loan, or the Wachovia Bank Nine Property
Construction Loan, is secured by nine of our properties and has
an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately
$148.9 million, as of June 30, 2010, an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 280 basis points (with a 6.00% interest rate floor
through October 31, 2010 with respect to approximately
$136.4 million), a maturity date of January 31, 2011
and an additional loan extension fee of $1.3 million);
|
|
|
|
$14.9 million outstanding under our construction loan with
Wachovia Bank as it relates to The Grove at San Marcos (this
loan, or the Wachovia Bank Three Property Construction Loan, is
secured by three of our properties and has an aggregate
outstanding principal amount of approximately
$14.9 million, as of June 30, 2010, an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 250 basis points (with a 5.94% interest rate
floor) and a maturity date of May 15, 2011); and
|
|
|
|
$2.4 million to pay costs associated with the termination
of interest rate swaps and hedges relating to the repayment of
this debt (based on the settlement value as of June 30,
2010);
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately $4.8 million to fund preferred investments in
asset-owning entities that will use the net proceeds from such
investments to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the
Wachovia Bank Three Property Construction Loan that is secured,
in part,
|
60
|
|
|
|
|
by The Grove at San Marcos, in connection with our purchase of
The Grove at San Marcos and its removal from the collateral pool
securing such loan;
|
|
|
|
|
|
approximately $4.0 million to repay indebtedness owed to
Capital Bank, which has an interest rate of prime plus 1.0% and
a maturity date of October 15, 2010 with a commitment from
the lender to extend the maturity date to November 5, 2010;
|
|
|
|
approximately $6.0 million to repay unsecured indebtedness
owed by us to RHR, LLC, an entity owned by MXT Capital and the
Ricker Group, which has an interest rate of 12% and a maturity
date of April 30, 2011; RHR, LLC will, in turn, immediately
repay an equal amount of indebtedness owed by it to an
unaffiliated third party on substantially the same terms and
conditions as the loan from RHR, LLC to us;
|
|
|
|
approximately $3.3 million to MXT Capital, which will
immediately use such amount to make capital contributions to
certain entities that will, in turn, immediately use the capital
contributions solely to repay indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
approximately $24.0 million to acquire interests in our
properties from HSRE;
|
|
|
|
approximately $17.4 million to acquire interests in our
properties from the Ricker Group;
|
|
|
|
approximately $10.7 million to acquire interests in our
properties from certain third-party investors;
|
|
|
|
approximately $3.4 million to acquire land on which we
expect to commence building four properties following the
completion of this offering;
|
|
|
|
$3.9 million to acquire the preferred membership interest
in CC-Encore (which includes repayment of the $2.35 million loan
from CC-Encore to Campus Crest Ventures I, LLC, or CCV
I); and
|
|
|
|
approximately $6.4 million for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
|
Under certain circumstances, we have the option to cause Encore
to purchase an additional preferred membership interest in
CC-Encore in an amount not to exceed $2.5 million. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsOverviewOur
Relationship with Encore. We have not exercised this
option, we have no intent to exercise this option and our right
to cause Encore to purchase an additional preferred membership
interest, as well as CC-Encore itself, will be terminated upon
completion of this offering and our repurchase of the currently
outstanding preferred interest. However, to the extent we did
exercise this option and Encore purchased an additional
$2.5 million preferred interest, we would be obligated to
purchase this additional interest for approximately
$3.75 million upon completion of this offering. We would
use a portion of the net proceeds to complete this purchase,
which would reduce the amount of net proceeds available for
working capital and general corporate purposes by
$3.75 million.
If the underwriters overallotment option is exercised, we
expect to use the additional net proceeds (which, if the
underwriters overallotment is exercised in full, will be
approximately $49.9 million) to pay down borrowings under
our revolving credit facility and for working capital and
general corporate purposes, which may include funding a portion
of our expected development activity and other growth strategies
and distributions to our stockholders.
61
Pending application of any portion of the net proceeds from this
offering, we will invest it in interest-bearing accounts and
short-term, interest-bearing securities as is consistent with
our intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes. Such investments may include, for example,
obligations of the U.S. federal government and governmental
agency securities, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing
bank deposits.
The following table provides information related to the expected
sources and uses of the proceeds from this offering (assuming
the underwriters overallotment option is not exercised)
and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

OUR
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to our common
stockholders. We intend to pay a pro rata initial distribution
with respect to the period commencing on the completion of this
offering and ending December 31, 2010, based on $0.16 per
share for a full quarter. On an annualized basis, this would be
$0.64 per share, or an initial annual distribution rate of
approximately 5.1% based on the initial public offering price of
$12.50 per share. Our ability to fund this distribution will
depend, in part, upon continued successful leasing of our
existing portfolio, expected future development activity and fee
income from development, construction and management services.
To the extent these sources are insufficient, we intend to use
our working capital or borrowings under our revolving credit
facility to fund these distributions. This estimate is based on
our historical operating results, adjusted as described below,
and does not take into account the four wholly-owned and three
joint venture properties that we expect to commence building
upon completion of this offering, with completion targeted for
the 2011-2012 academic year, nor does it take into account any
unanticipated expenditures we may have to make or any new debt
we may have to incur.
Our estimate of cash available for distribution does not reflect:
|
|
|
|
|
fee income from development, construction and management
services that we may provide with respect to future joint
venture properties, including the three joint venture properties
that we expect to develop through a new joint venture that we
expect to establish with HSRE, with completion targeted for the
2011-2012 academic year (see Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsFactors Expected to Affect Our Operating
ResultsDevelopment, Construction and Management
Services);
|
|
|
|
cash to be used for capital expenditures, such as development
and construction activities (including four wholly-owned
properties and three joint venture properties that we expect to
commence building upon completion of this offering) and property
acquisitions, other than an estimate of recurring capital
expenditures at our combined properties and our uncombined joint
venture properties; or
|
|
|
|
cash estimated to be used for financing activities, other than
scheduled amortization payments on mortgage indebtedness that
will be outstanding upon completion of this offering.
|
During the 12 months ending June 30, 2011, we expect to
incur capital expenditures in connection with the development
and construction of four student housing properties that we
expect to build for our own account, with completion and
occupancy targeted for the
2011-2012
academic year. In addition, we expect to pay a pro rata share of
capital expenditures incurred by a joint venture in which we
expect to own a 20% interest relating to the construction of
three student housing properties, also with completion and
occupancy targeted for the 2011-2012 academic year. We intend to
fund these expenditures primarily with borrowings under our
revolving credit facility and new construction indebtedness. As
a result, we do not expect that these development activities
will have a meaningful effect on our estimate of cash available
for distribution for the 12 months ending June 30,
2011.
Although we currently have no additional commitments with
respect to investing or financing activities, we may choose to
undertake additional investing
and/or
financing activities in the future, which may have a material
effect on our estimate of cash available for distribution.
Because we have made the assumptions set forth above in
estimating cash available for
63
distribution, we do not intend this estimate to be a projection
or forecast of our actual results of operations or our
liquidity, and have estimated cash available for distribution
for the sole purpose of determining our initial annual
distribution amount and corresponding payout ratio. Our estimate
of cash available for distribution should not be considered as
an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (computed
in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity or
our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. In addition,
the methodology upon which we made the adjustments described
below is not necessarily intended to be a basis for determining
future distributions.
We intend to maintain our initial distribution rate for the
12-month period following completion of this offering unless
actual results of operations, economic conditions or other
factors differ materially from the assumptions used in our
estimate. Distributions made by us will be authorized and
determined by our board of directors out of funds legally
available therefor and will depend upon a number of factors,
including restrictions under applicable law or contained in
agreements relating to our indebtedness (including our revolving
credit facility) or any future preferred stock. We believe that
our estimate of cash available for distribution constitutes a
reasonable basis for setting the initial distribution; however,
no assurance can be given that the estimate will prove accurate,
and actual distributions, if any, may therefore be significantly
different from the expected distributions. We do not intend to
reduce the expected distribution per share if the
underwriters overallotment option is exercised; however,
this could require us to pay distributions from the net proceeds
of this offering.
We anticipate that, at least initially, our distributions will
exceed our then current and then accumulated earnings and
profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes
due to non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and
amortization charges that we expect to incur. Therefore, a
portion of these distributions will represent a return of
capital for federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess
of our current and accumulated earnings and profits and not
treated by us as a dividend will not be taxable to a taxable
U.S. stockholder under current federal income tax law to
the extent those distributions do not exceed the
stockholders adjusted tax basis in such common stock, but
rather will reduce the adjusted basis of the common stock.
Therefore, the gain (or loss) recognized on the sale of that
common stock or upon our liquidation will be increased (or
decreased) accordingly. To the extent those distributions exceed
a taxable U.S. stockholders adjusted tax basis in
such common stock, they generally will be treated as a capital
gain realized from the taxable disposition of those shares. We
expect that approximately 47% of our estimated initial annual
distribution will represent a return of capital for federal
income tax purposes. The percentage of our stockholder
distributions that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings
and profits may vary substantially from year to year. For a more
complete discussion of the tax treatment of distributions to
holders of our common stock, see Federal Income Tax
Considerations.
We cannot assure you that our estimated distributions will be
made at all, or at the rate estimated below, or if made, that
such distributions will be sustained. Any distributions we pay
in the future will depend upon our actual results of operations,
economic conditions and other factors that could differ
materially from our current expectations. Our actual results of
operations will be affected by a number of factors, including
the revenue we receive from our properties and our development,
construction and management services, our operating expenses and
interest expense, the ability of our student-tenants to meet
their obligations and unanticipated expenditures. For more
information regarding risk factors that could materially and
adversely affect our actual results of operations, see
Risk Factors.
If our properties do not generate sufficient cash flow with
which to pay our estimated distributions, we will be required
either to fund distributions from working capital or borrowings
under our revolving credit facility or to reduce our
distributions. Our revolving credit facility will
64
contain covenants that restrict our ability to pay distributions
or other amounts to our stockholders unless certain financial
tests are satisfied and will limit distributions to the greater
of 90% of our FFO or the amount required for us to qualify and
maintain our status as a REIT. In addition, our revolving credit
facility will contain certain provisions restricting or limiting
our ability to draw funds under the facility.
Federal income tax law requires that a REIT distribute annually
at least 90% of its REIT taxable income determined without
regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital
gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the
extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its REIT
taxable income, including capital gains. For more information,
please see Federal Income Tax Considerations. We
anticipate that our estimated cash available for distribution
and our estimated initial annual distribution will exceed the
annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. However,
if our cash available for distribution does not exceed such
requirements, we may be required to pay distributions in excess
of cash available for distribution. In such a case, we would be
required to fund the minimum required distribution from other
sources, which could include asset sales or borrowings. Funding
a distribution through asset sales or borrowings could reduce
our cash flow from operations, increase our interest expense and
decrease our cash available for investment in our business. We
may also choose to meet such distribution requirement by
distributing a combination of cash and shares of our common
stock, which may subject the holders of our common stock to
adverse tax consequences. See Risk FactorsRisks
Related to this OfferingWe may not be able to make an
initial distribution or maintain any initial, or subsequent,
distribution rate, and we may be required to fund the minimum
distribution necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT from
sources that could reduce our cash flows.

The following table reflects the economic impact on the
12 months ending June 30, 2011 resulting from
anticipated changes in contractual development and construction
services revenue and expenses, as compared to the 12 months
ended June 30, 2010. Revenue and expenses from development
and construction services for the 12 months ending
June 30, 2011 relate primarily to the completion of the
three joint venture properties that opened in August 2010 for
the 2010-2011 academic year. |

Adjustment reflects the net increase in contractual management
fee revenues for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011
compared to the 12 months ended June 30, 2010 from
contracts in place during the 12 months ended June 30,
2010. The increase in revenue from management services for the

joint venture properties that opened in August 2009 and the
initiation of management services for the three joint venture
properties that opened in August 2010. |

(a) |
|
Occupancy for the historical 12 months ended June 30,
2010 reflects the average occupancy during that period, which
generally includes one month of occupancy results from the
2008-2009
academic year (i.e., July 2009) and 11 months
of occupancy results from the
2009-2010
academic year (i.e., August 2009 through June 2010). |
|
(b) |
|
Executed lease status for the
2010-2011
academic year is based on the number of executed leases in hand
for the
2010-2011
academic year as of September 15, 2010. |
|
(c) |
|
Occupancy for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011 is
generally based on one month (i.e., July 2010) of
in-place occupancy as of June 30, 2010 and
11 months (i.e., August 2010 through June 2011) of
occupancy based on executed leases in hand for the 2010-2011
academic year as of September 15, 2010. For Ellensburg,
Washington and Cheney, Washington, occupancy for the
12 months ending June 30, 2011 is based on two months
(i.e., July and August 2010) of in-place occupancy as of
June 30, 2010 and 10 months (i.e.,
September 2010 through June 2011) of occupancy based
on executed leases in hand for the 2010-2011 academic year as of
September 15, 2010. |
|
(d) |
|
Impact on net income before depreciation for the 12 months
ending June 30, 2011 is based on the increase or decrease
in occupancy assuming average monthly rental revenue per
occupied bed for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011 is
equal to average monthly rental revenue per occupied bed for the
12 months ended June 30, 2010. |

(a) |
|
Average monthly rental revenue per occupied bed for the
historical 12 months ended June 30, 2010 generally
includes one month of results from the
2008-2009
academic year (i.e., July 2009) and 11 months
of results from the
2009-2010
academic year (i.e., August 2009 through June 2010). |
|
(b) |
|
Total beds leased and average monthly rental revenue per leased
bed for the
2010-2011
academic year is based on executed leases in hand for the
2010-2011
academic year as of September 15, 2010 and is net of the
economic impact of any lease concessions. |
|
(c) |
|
Estimated average monthly rental revenue per leased bed for the
12 months ending June 30, 2011 is generally based on
one month (i.e., July 2010) of in-place average monthly
rental revenue per occupied bed as of the month ended
June 30, 2010 and 11 months (i.e., August
2010 through June 2011) of estimated average monthly rental
revenue per leased bed based on executed leases in hand for the
2010-2011 academic year as of September 15, 2010. For
Ellensburg, Washington and Cheney, Washington, economic
occupancy for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011 is based
on two months (i.e., July and August 2010) of in-place
average monthly rental revenue per occupied bed as of
June 30, 2010 and 10 months (i.e., September 2010
through June 2011) of estimated average monthly rental revenue
per leased bed |
68
|
|
|
|
|
based on executed leases in hand for the 2010-2011 academic year
as of September 15, 2010. |
|
(d) |
|
Impact on net income before depreciation is based on the
difference between the estimated average monthly rental revenue
per leased bed for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011
and the historical average monthly rental revenue per occupied
bed for the 12 months ended June 30, 2010, multiplied
by the number of executed leases in hand as of
September 15, 2010, multiplied by 12 months. |
|
(e) |
|
Adjusted to reflect: (i) impact of increase in management fee
expense resulting from expected increase in revenue and net
income before depreciation; and (ii) equity method of accounting
assuming 49.9% ownership of each property. |
|
|
|
(6) |
|
The following table reflects the economic impact on the
12 months ending June 30, 2011 resulting from a full
years operation of two consolidated properties that opened
in August 2009 (The Grove at Murfreesboro and The Grove at
San Marcos). |

economic impact of any lease concessions. |
|

11 months (August 2010 through June 2011) multiplied
by the number of signed leases. |

ended June 30, 2010 related to the write-off of capitalized
expenditures for projects that were commenced but not completed
due to unforeseen events, including significant limitations in
the availability of debt financing to fund construction costs.
We expect, subject to completion of this offering, to commence
building four wholly-owned and three joint venture properties
with completion targeted for the
2011-2012
academic year, and we anticipate obtaining adequate financing to
fund our developments over the next 12 months through our
revolving credit facility and construction debt. Therefore, we
do not anticipate having to write-off significant
pre-development expenditures for the 12 months ending
June 30, 2011 as a result of the unavailability of
financing. |

expenditures were estimated based on a weighted average of
capital expenditures per bed for the three fiscal years ended

beds at our three joint venture properties that opened in August
2010, which we |
70
|
|
|
|
|
anticipate will not require material recurring capital
expenditures for the 12 months ending June 30, 2011).

DILUTION
Purchasers of our common stock in this offering will experience
an immediate and substantial dilution of net tangible book value
of their common stock from the initial public offering price. At
June 30, 2010, we had a tangible net book value of
approximately $(53.4) million or $(187.14) per share of
common stock assuming the issuance of the OP units in our
formation transactions and the exchange of the OP units into
shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. After giving
effect to the sale of the shares of our common stock offered
hereby, the deduction of the underwriting discount and other
estimated fees and expenses, the receipt by us of the net
proceeds from this offering and the use of these net proceeds by
us as described under Use of Proceeds and the
consummation of our formation transactions, the pro forma net
tangible book value at June 30, 2010 would have been
$241.6 million or $8.37 per share of common stock. This
amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book
value of $195.51 per share to existing holders of our common
stock and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book
value of $4.13 per share from the initial public offering price
of $12.50 per share to purchasers of common stock in this
offering. The following table illustrates this per share

Net tangible book value per share
before our formation transactions and this offering is
determined by dividing the net book value of the tangible assets
of our Predecessor by the number of shares of our common stock
held by continuing investors after this offering, assuming the
exchange in full of 285,593 OP units (excludes OP units to be
granted to Mr. Hartnett pursuant to his employment
agreement) to be issued to the continuing investors for shares
of our common stock on a
one-for-one
basis.

payable by us.

SELECTED
HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
You should read the following selected historical and pro forma
financial information in conjunction with

historical combined financial statements of our Predecessor,
included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited historical
combined financial statements have been prepared on the same
basis as our audited historical combined financial statements
and in the opinion of our management, reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of this information. The results for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for a full year. The selected historical combined
statements of operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and the selected
historical combined balance sheet information as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been derived from the
audited historical combined financial statements of our

historical combined statements of operations for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the selected historical
combined balance sheet data for the years ended

the common stock offered hereby, the receipt of the estimated

described under Use of Proceeds. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated financial information for the year
ended December 31, 2009 and as of and for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 is presented as if this offering, the
use of net proceeds therefrom and our formation transactions all

purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet information and on the first day of the period
presented for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
The selected historical combined and pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information set forth below and the
financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus do
not necessarily reflect what our results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows would have been if we had
operated as a stand-alone company during all periods presented,
and, accordingly, such information should not be relied upon as
an indicator of our future performance, financial condition or
liquidity.

FFO is used by industry analysts
and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure
for REITs. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition
that was adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. FFO, as
defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in
accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined
under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously
depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified
non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental
performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related
depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property
dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when
compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates,
rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a
widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs,
FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our
operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because
FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither
the changes in the value of our properties that result from use
or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures
necessary to maintain the operating performance of our
properties, all of which have real economic effects and could
materially and adversely impact our results from operations, the
utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. While
FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use
different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly,
FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to
FFO published herein. Therefore, we believe that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating
results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income
(loss) as presented in the combined financial statements and the
other financial statements included elsewhere in this
prospectus. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an
indicator of the properties financial performance or to
cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with
GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of
funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to
pay dividends or make distributions.
|
|

|
|
When considering our FFO, we
believe it is also a meaningful measure of our performance to
adjust FFO to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate
derivatives and the write-off of development costs. Excluding
the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives and
development cost write-offs adjusts FFO to be more reflective of
operating results prior to capital replacement or expansion,
debt amortization of principal or other commitments and
contingencies. This measure is referred to herein as
FFOA.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial
Information, Structure and Formation, our pro
forma condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes and the historical combined financial statements and
related notes of our Predecessor. Where appropriate, the
following discussion includes an analysis of the effects of our
formation transactions and this offering. These effects are
reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements located elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion
also analyzes the effects of certain matters that may occur
following the completion of this offering.
Overview
Our
Company
We are a self-managed, self-administered and
vertically-integrated developer, builder, owner and manager of
high-quality, purpose-built student housing. We believe that we
are one of the largest vertically-integrated developers,
builders, owners and managers of high-quality, purpose-built
student housing properties in the United States based on beds
owned and under management.
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on March 1, 2010
and our operating partnership, of which we, through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Campus Crest Communities GP, LLC, are
the sole general partner, was formed as a Delaware limited
partnership on March 4, 2010. As of the date of this
prospectus, we have a single stockholder, MXT Capital. Upon
completion of this offering and our formation transactions, we
will own a 98.5% limited partnership interest in our operating
partnership.
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will own interests in 27 student housing properties
containing approximately 5,048 apartment units and 13,580 beds.
All of our properties are recently built, with an average age of
approximately 2.2 years as of August 31, 2010.
Twenty-one of our properties, containing approximately 3,920
apartment units and 10,528 beds, will be wholly-owned and six,
containing approximately 1,128 apartment units and 3,052 beds,
will be owned through a joint venture with HSRE, in which we
will own a 49.9% interest. We recently completed construction of
three of our joint venture properties, which commenced
operations in August 2010. All of our communities contain modern
apartment units with many resort-style amenities.
We derive substantially all of our revenue from student housing
leasing, student housing services, construction and development
services and management services. As of September 15, 2010,
the average occupancy for our 27 properties was
approximately 90%. Our properties are primarily located in
medium-sized college and university markets, which we define as
markets located outside of major U.S. cities that have nearby
schools generally with overall enrollment of approximately 8,000
to 20,000 students. We believe such markets are underserved and
are generally experiencing enrollment growth.
Following this offering, we intend to pay regular quarterly
distributions to our common stockholders in amounts that meet or
exceed the requirements for our qualification as a REIT.
Although we currently anticipate making distributions to our
common stockholders in cash to the extent cash is available for
such purpose, we may, in the sole discretion of our board of
directors, make a distribution of capital or of assets or a
taxable distribution of our stock (as part of a distribution in
which stockholders may elect to receive stock or, subject to a
limit measured as a percentage of the total distribution, cash).
See Our Distribution Policy.

Our
Business Segments
Management evaluates operating performance through the analysis
of results of operations of two distinct business segments:
(i) student housing operations and (ii) development,
construction and management services. Management evaluates each
segments performance by net operating income, which we
define as operating income before depreciation and amortization.
The accounting policies of our reportable business segments are
described in more detail in the summary of significant
accounting policies footnote to the combined financial
statements of our Predecessor. Intercompany fees are reflected
at the contractually stipulated amounts, as adjusted to reflect
our proportionate ownership of unconsolidated entities.
Student
Housing Operations
Our student housing operations are comprised of leasing and
other service revenues, such as application fees, pet fees and
late payment fees. We opened our first student housing property
in Asheville, North Carolina in 2005 for the
2005-2006
academic year. We subsequently opened three additional
properties in 2006 for the
2006-2007
academic year, six additional properties in 2007 for the
2007-2008
academic year and nine additional properties in 2008 for the
2008-2009 academic year. In 2009, we opened one additional
property that was combined by our Predecessor and four
additional properties that were owned by a joint venture in
which we have a noncontrolling interest. Due to the continuous
opening of new properties in consecutive years and annual lease
terms that do not coincide with our reported fiscal years, the
comparison of our consolidated financial results from year to
year may not provide a meaningful measure of our operating
performance. For this reason, we divide the results of
operations in our student housing operations segment between new
property operations and same-store operations, which
we believe provides a more meaningful indicator of comparative
historical performance.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Development and Construction Services. In addition
to our wholly-owned properties, all of which were developed and
built by us, we also provide development and construction
services to uncombined joint ventures in which we have an
ownership interest. We act as a general contractor on all of our
construction projects. When building properties for our own
account (i.e., for entities that are combined in our
financial statements), construction revenues and expenses are
eliminated for accounting purposes and construction costs are
ultimately reflected as capital additions. Thus, building
properties for our own account does not typically generate any
revenues or expenses in our development, construction and
management services segment on a combined basis. Alternatively,
when performing these services for uncombined joint ventures, we
recognize construction revenues based on the costs that have
been contractually agreed to with the joint venture for the
construction of the property and expenses based on the actual
costs incurred. Construction revenues are recognized using the
percentage of completion method, as determined by construction
costs incurred relative to total estimated construction costs,
as adjusted to eliminate our proportionate ownership of each
entity. Actual construction costs are expensed as incurred and
are likewise adjusted to eliminate our proportionate ownership
of each entity. Operating income generated by our development
and construction activities generally reflects the development
fee and construction fee income that is realized by providing
these services to uncombined joint ventures (i.e., the
spread between the contractual cost of construction
and the actual cost of construction).
Management Services. In addition to our wholly-owned
properties, all of which are managed by us, we also provide
management services to uncombined joint ventures in which we
have an ownership interest. We recognize management fees from
these entities as earned in accordance with the property
management agreement with these entities, as adjusted to
eliminate our proportionate ownership of each entity.

Our
Relationship With HSRE
We have entered into three joint venture arrangements with HSRE.
HSRE is a real estate private equity firm founded in 2005 that
owns approximately $2.1 billion in real estate assets,
including student housing properties, senior housing/assisted
living units, self-storage units, boat storage facilities and
medical office space. As described below, we have developed
seven properties in partnership with HSRE with total aggregate
cost of approximately $130.4 million.
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will be party only to one of the foregoing joint venture
arrangements relating to six properties, in which we will own a
49.9% interest and which will be accounted for as an investment
in an unconsolidated joint venture. Additionally, we expect to
establish a new joint venture with HSRE, in which we expect to
own a 20% interest, that will build three student housing
properties with completion targeted for the
2011-2012
academic year.
HSRE I. Our first joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus
Crest I, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE I, indirectly
owns 100% interests in the following seven properties: The Grove
at Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The
Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo, The Grove at
San Marcos and The Grove at Statesboro. We own a 0.1%
interest in HSRE I and HSRE owns the remaining 99.9% (prior to
the March 2010 transactions described below, we owned a 10%
interest in HSRE I and HSRE owned the remaining 90%).
In general, we are responsible for the
day-to-day
management of HSRE Is business and affairs, provided that
major decisions must be approved by us and HSRE. In addition to
distributions to which we are entitled as an investor in
HSRE I, we receive or have in the past received fees for
providing services to the properties held by HSRE I pursuant to
development and construction agreements and property management
agreements. We have granted to an entity related to HSRE I a
right of first opportunity with respect to certain development
or acquisition opportunities identified by us. This right of
first opportunity will terminate at such time as HSRE shall have
funded at least $40 million of equity to HSRE I
and/or
certain related ventures. As of August 31, 2010, HSRE has
funded approximately $35 million of the $40 million
right of first opportunity. HSRE I will dissolve upon the
disposition of substantially all of its assets or the occurrence
of certain events specified in the agreement between us and
HSRE. As described in Additional HSRE Joint
Venture, we expect that HSRE will release us from this
right of first opportunity.
Through the HSRE I joint venture, we developed the following
seven properties: The Grove at Conway, The Grove at Huntsville,
The Grove at Lawrence, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro. Information regarding the cost of developing these
properties is set forth in the following table ($ in thousands):

HSRE II. Our second joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus
Crest II, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE II, indirectly owns a
100% interest in The Grove at Milledgeville. In November 2009,
an entity in which we hold a 50% interest sold a 100% interest
in The Grove at Milledgeville to HSRE II, and retained an
ownership interest in HSRE II of 10%. Upon completion of this
offering and our formation transactions, HSRE II will be
dissolved, and we will own 100% of The Grove at Milledgeville.
HSRE III. Our third joint venture with HSRE,
HSRE-Campus
Crest III, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE III, indirectly owns a
100% interest in The Grove at Carrollton. In September 2010, an
entity in which we hold a 38% interest sold a 100% interest in
The Grove at Carrollton to HSRE III, and retained an
ownership interest in HSRE III of 0.1%. Upon completion of
this offering and our formation transactions, HSRE III will
be dissolved, and we will own 100% of The Grove at Carrollton.
March 2010 Transactions. In March 2010, we consummated
the following transactions with HSRE, for which we received cash
proceeds of approximately $2.25 million:
|
|
|
|
|
the sale of a 9.9% interest in HSRE I to HSRE; and
|
|
|
|
the pre-payment by HSRE to us of management fees relating to the
following properties: The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at
Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The
Grove at Milledgeville, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro.
|
All of the transactions that we entered into with HSRE in
March 2010 were for the purpose of providing short-term
financing for our ongoing working capital needs, including the
costs of our corporate overhead, development and construction
staffs, pre-development expenditures with respect to our
expected 2011 development properties, and certain costs incurred
in connection with this offering.
Post-Offering Transactions. Upon completion of this
offering, we have agreed to consummate the following
transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
purchase a 49.8% interest in HSRE I from HSRE, with the result
that we will own 49.9% of HSRE I;
|
|
|
|
purchase a 50.1% interest in The Grove at San Marcos from
HSRE I, with the result that we will own 100% of The Grove
at San Marcos;
|
|
|
|
purchase approximately $4.8 million of preferred interests
in special-purpose subsidiaries of HSRE I that own The Grove at
Moscow and The Grove at San Angelo, with the net proceeds
of such investments together with net proceeds from our purchase
of a 50.1% interest in The Grove at San Marcos from
HSRE I, used to reduce the outstanding principal balance
under our Wachovia Bank Three Property Construction Loan (that
is currently secured by The Grove at San Marcos, The Grove
at Moscow and The Grove at San Angelo) by approximately
$19.7 million, in connection with our purchase of HSRE
Is interest in The Grove at San Marcos and its
removal from the collateral pool securing such loan;
|
|
|
|
purchase HSREs entire interest in HSRE II, with the result
that we will own 100% of The Grove at Milledgeville; and
|
|
|
|
purchase HSREs entire interest in HSRE III, with the
result that we will own 100% of The Grove at Carrollton.
|
82
The foregoing will result in a payment to HSRE out of the net
proceeds from this offering, subject to certain adjustments, of
approximately $24.0 million.
Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, we will own:
|
|
|
|
|
a 49.9% interest in HSRE I, which will own 100% interests
in the following six properties: The Grove at Conway, The Grove
at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The Grove at Moscow, The
Grove at San Angelo and The Grove at Statesboro; and
|
|
|
|
100% interests in The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at
Milledgeville and The Grove at San Marcos.
|
New HSRE Joint Venture. We expect to enter into a new
joint venture with HSRE, to which HSRE will contribute up to
$50 million, that will develop and operate additional
purpose-built student housing properties. We currently expect
that we will own a 20% interest in this venture and that
affiliates of HSRE will own the balance.
In general, we expect that we will be responsible for the
day-to-day
management of the ventures business and affairs, provided
that major decisions (including deciding to pursue a particular
development opportunity) must be approved by us and HSRE. In
addition to distributions to which we would be entitled as an
investor in the venture, we expect that we will receive fees for
providing services to the venture pursuant to development and
construction agreements and property management agreements. In
general, we expect to earn development fees equal to
approximately 4% of the total cost of each property developed by
the venture (excluding the cost of land and financing costs),
construction fees equal to approximately 5% of the construction
costs of each property developed by the venture and management
fees equal to approximately 3% of the gross revenues and 3% of
the net operating income of operating properties held by the
venture. In addition, we expect to receive a reimbursement of a
portion of our overhead relating to each development project at
a negotiated rate. Under certain circumstances, we expect that
we will be responsible for funding the amount by which actual
development costs for a project pursued by the venture exceed
the budgeted development costs of such project (without any
increase in our interest in the project), which could materially
and adversely affect the fee income realized from any such
project. We expect to grant the venture a right of first
opportunity to develop all future student housing development
opportunities identified by us that are funded in part with
equity investments by parties unaffiliated with us, until such
time as affiliates of HSRE have invested $50 million in the
venture or caused the venture to decline three development
opportunities in any calendar year. In connection with granting
the foregoing right of first opportunity, we expect that HSRE
will release us from the right of first opportunity currently
contained in our HSRE I joint venture agreement, under which
HSRE has the right to invest approximately $5 million of
additional equity. The terms of this potential venture would not
prohibit us from developing a wholly-owned student housing
property for our account.
Subject to obtaining adequate financing, we expect that this new
venture will build three new student housing properties with
completion targeted for the
2011-2012
academic year. We expect that such properties will be located in
Denton, Texas, Orono, Maine and Valdosta, Georgia, will contain
an aggregate of approximately 1,788 beds and will have an
estimated cost of approximately $70.3 million.
Although we have entered into a non-binding letter of intent
with HSRE relating to this potential joint venture, no assurance
can be given that we will reach a definitive agreement with HSRE
regarding this potential new joint venture or that the terms of
any such agreement will not be materially different from those
described above. Similarly, no assurance can be given that, if
such a joint venture is consummated, it will be successful in
building the currently identified or other student housing
properties. Further, if these three or other properties are
developed, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
achieve attractive occupancy levels or rental rates.

Our
Relationship with Encore
On August 2, 2010, subsidiaries of MXT Capital entered into
an agreement with Encore for the formation of CC-Encore. Encore
contributed $2.5 million to CC-Encore in exchange for a
preferred membership interest, and subsidiaries of
MXT Capital contributed to
CC-Encore
and pledged to Encore interests in certain properties and
subsidiaries. The Ricker Group also is a party to this
agreement, and it contributed to CC-Encore and pledged to Encore
interests that it owned in certain properties. Subsidiaries of
MXT Capital contributed to CC-Encore the following ownership
interests:
|
|
|
|
|
49% of Campus Crest at Abilene, LP;
|
|
|
|
49% of Campus Crest at Nacogdoches, LP;
|
|
|
|
47% of Campus Crest at Ellensburg, LLC;
|
|
|
|
39% of Campus Crest at Greeley, LLC;
|
|
|
|
49% of Campus Crest at Mobile, LLC; and
|
|
|
|
49% of Campus Crest at Jacksonville, AL, LLC.
|
Additionally, subsidiaries of MXT Capital and the Ricker Group,
collectively, contributed to CC-Encore rights to distributions
from the following entities:
|
|
|
|
|
90% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Las Cruces, LLC;
|
|
|
|
100% of any distributions from Campus Crest at MobilePhase
II, LLC;
|
|
|
|
62% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Asheville, LLC;
|
|
|
|
51% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Abilene, LP;
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
51% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Ellensburg, LLC;
|
|
|
|
51% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Greeley, LLC;
|
|
|
|
51% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Mobile, LLC;
|
|
|
|
51% of any distributions from Campus Crest at Jacksonville, AL,
LLC; and
|
|
|
|
100% of any distributions from The Grove Student Properties, LLC.
|
Upon our purchase of the preferred membership interest in
CC-Encore
with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, CC-Encore
will distribute the ownership interests in the contributed
entities to the parties that contributed them, and our operating
partnership will acquire such interests from MXT Capital and the
Ricker Group in connection with the formation transactions.
CC-Encore loaned the net proceeds of $2.35 million from
Encores contribution, after payment to Encore of $150,000
in origination fees, to CCV I. The loan has an interest rate of
0.7% per annum, and all principal and interest is payable on
January 1, 2014 unless CC-Encore exercises a payment demand
prior to such date. CC-Encore may demand the repayment of the
loan to CCV I at any time upon the determination of a
majority of its managers to do so, which Encore effectively
controls as it has appointed two of the three managers of
CC-Encore. In the event that the demand right is exercised, CCV
I is obligated to repay the outstanding balance of the loan plus
accrued interest to
CC-Encore.
The purpose of this transaction with Encore was to provide
short-term financing for our ongoing working capital needs,
including the costs of our corporate overhead, development and
construction staffs, pre-development expenditures with respect
to our expected 2011 development properties, and certain costs
incurred in connection with this offering. The effect of this
transaction with Encore was that we acquired short-term
financing in the amount of $2.35 million and incurred an
obligation to repay the financing in the amount of
$3.9 million.
84
We are obligated to purchase the preferred membership interest
upon completion of this offering for $3.9 million, at which
time the joint venture with Encore will be terminated. Upon our
purchase of the preferred membership interest in CC-Encore, the
distribution of the ownership interests in the contributed
entities to the parties that contributed them, the termination
of CC-Encore, the termination of the pledge of interests to
Encore and the transactions set forth in the contribution
agreements entered into by MXT Capital, the Ricker Group and
certain third party investors, we will own 100% of the interests
contributed to
CC-Encore
and pledged to Encore. The $3.9 million purchase price to be
paid by us for the preferred membership interest was the result
of an arms length negotiation between Encore (an
unaffiliated third party) and us at the time of Encores
purchase of the preferred membership interest and, in our
determination, represented a market transaction at the time of
its consummation for a preferred equity financing by CC-Encore,
a private company whose sole assets consist of interests in
private operating companies and student housing properties.
Prior to the completion of this offering and while the preferred
membership interest remains outstanding, we are subject to
financial and other covenants under the terms of the agreement
pursuant to which Encore purchased the preferred membership
interest, and we have the right to repurchase the preferred
membership interest under certain circumstances. In addition,
while the preferred membership interest remains outstanding
through December 31, 2013, Encore has agreed to purchase,
at our option, an additional preferred membership interest in
CC-Encore (subject to a maximum additional preferred investment
of $2.5 million) equal to the amount of net operating
income in excess of $1.9 million multiplied by 1.35 generated by
the following entities: Campus Crest at Las Cruces, LLC; Campus
Crest at MobilePhase II, LLC; Campus Crest at Asheville,
LLC; Campus Crest at Abilene, LP; Campus Crest at Nacogdoches,
LP; Campus Crest at Ellensburg, LLC; Campus Crest at Greeley,
LLC; Campus Crest at Mobile, LLC; and Campus Crest at
Jacksonville, AL, LLC. We do not expect that we will exercise
our option to cause Encore to purchase any additional preferred
membership interest in CC-Encore. However, if Encore were to
make the maximum additional preferred investment of
$2.5 million in CC-Encore, we would be obligated to
purchase this additional interest for approximately
$3.75 million upon completion of the offering and we would
use additional net proceeds from this offering to do so.
Subsequent to the formation of
CC-Encore,
Encore assigned its preferred membership interest to RJRC, LLC.
See UnderwritingOther Relationships.
Revolving
Credit Facility
We have entered into a credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. and
certain other parties thereto relating to a three-year, $125
million senior secured revolving credit facility, which will
become effective immediately upon completion of this offering
and satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions, which are
expected to include, among other things, satisfactory review by
lenders of appraisals, environmental reports, engineering
reports, other company- and property-level diligence, successful
completion of this offering, absence of material adverse
changes, payment of fees, and the negotiation, execution and
delivery of definitive documentation satisfactory to Citibank,
N.A. and other lenders. For additional information regarding the
secured credit facility, please refer to Liquidity
and Capital ResourcesPrincipal Capital Resources
below.
Income
Taxation
In connection with this offering, we intend to elect to be
treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the
Internal Revenue Code commencing with our taxable year ending on
December 31, 2010. Our qualification as a REIT depends upon
our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual
investment and operating results, various complex requirements
under the Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things,
the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of
our assets, our distribution levels and the diversity of
ownership of our stock. We believe that we will be organized in
conformity with the requirements for qualification and
85
taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and that our
intended manner of operation will enable us to meet the
requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on our REIT taxable income that we distribute
currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT
in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory
relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax at regular corporate rates and may be precluded from
qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years
following the year during which we lost our REIT qualification.
Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to some
U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income or
property.
Factors
Expected to Affect Our Operating Results
Unique
Leasing Characteristics
Student housing properties are typically leased by the bed on an
individual lease liability basis, unlike multi-family housing
where leasing is by the unit. Individual lease liability limits
each student-tenants liability to his or her own rent
without liability for a roommates rent. A parent or
guardian is required to execute each lease as a guarantor unless
the student-tenant provides adequate proof of income. The number
of lease contracts that we administer is therefore equivalent to
the number of beds occupied rather than the number of units.
Due to our predominantly private bedroom accommodations, the
high level of student-oriented amenities offered at our
properties and the individual lease liability for our
student-tenants and their parents, we believe that we typically
command higher
per-unit and
per-square foot rental rates than many multi-family properties
located in the markets in which we operate. We are also
typically able to charge higher rental rates than on-campus
student housing, which generally offers fewer amenities.
Unlike traditional multi-family housing, most of our leases
commence and terminate on the same dates. In the case of our
typical 11.5-month leases (which provide for 12 equal monthly
payments), these dates coincide with the commencement of the
fall academic term and typically terminate at the completion of
the last subsequent summer school session. As such, we must
re-lease each property in its entirety each year, resulting in
significant turnover in our tenant population from year to year.
As a result, we are highly dependent upon the effectiveness of
our marketing and leasing efforts during the annual leasing
season that typically begins in January and ends in August of
each year. Our properties occupancy rates are therefore
typically relatively stable during the August to July academic
year, but are susceptible to fluctuation at the commencement of
each new academic year, which may be greater than the
fluctuation in occupancy rates experienced by traditional
multi-family properties. For most of our properties, the primary
leasing season concludes by the end of August (our properties
located in Ellensburg, Washington and Cheney, Washington are
exceptions, where the primary leasing season typically extends
into September, as the academic year for the primary university
served by each of these properties typically starts in late
September).
Development,
Construction and Management Services
The amount and timing of revenues from development, construction
and management services will typically be contingent upon the
number and size of development projects that we are able to
successfully structure and finance in our current and future
uncombined joint ventures. In particular, subject to completion
of this offering, we expect to enter into a new joint venture
with HSRE, in which we expect to have a 20% interest, that will
build three student housing properties with completion targeted
for the
2011-2012
academic year. Subject to negotiating definitive terms relating
to this joint venture, we expect to receive fees for providing
development and construction services to this joint venture.
Similarly, we expect to receive management fees for managing
properties owned by this joint venture once they are placed in
86
service. No assurance can be given that we will reach a
definitive agreement with HSRE regarding this potential joint
venture or the terms of any such agreement. Similarly, no
assurance can be given that if such a joint venture is entered
it will be successful in developing student housing properties
as currently contemplated.
Results
of Operations
We have not had any corporate activity since our formation,
other than the issuance of one share of common stock to MXT
Capital in connection with our initial capitalization and
activities in preparation for this offering. Accordingly, we
believe that a discussion of our results of operations would not
be meaningful, and we have therefore set forth a discussion
regarding the historical results of operations of our
Predecessor only. The historical results of operations presented
below should be reviewed along with the pro forma financial
information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, which
includes adjustments related to the effects of the repayment of
certain indebtedness and the completion of this offering and our
formation transactions.
Comparison
of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009
As of June 30, 2010, our property portfolio consisted of 20
combined properties, containing approximately 3,728 apartment
units and 10,024 beds, four operating properties held in
uncombined joint ventures, containing approximately 748
apartment units and 2,012 beds, and three properties under
construction and held in an uncombined joint venture, containing
approximately 572 apartment units and 1,544 beds. In November
2009, we sold The Grove at Milledgeville to HSRE II, an
affiliate of HSRE, and we retained an indirect ownership
interest of 5%. Since we have the contractual ability and intend
to repurchase those ownership interests in The Grove at
Milledgeville which we had previously sold, we have not
accounted for this transaction as a sale for financial reporting
purposes. Accordingly, The Grove at Milledgeville has been
combined for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Student
Housing Operations
Revenues (which include student housing leasing and student
housing service revenues) and operating expenses in the student
housing operations segment increased by approximately
$3.6 million and approximately $2.0 million,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily due to
the inclusion of results from The Grove at Murfreesboro for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 as well as increases in
occupancy and monthly revenue per bed at our other combined
properties. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due
to increases in property-level payroll expenses, utilities,
repairs and maintenance and real estate taxes.
New Property Operations. In August of 2009, we
opened five new properties that were developed by us. As of
June 30, 2010, four of these properties were owned by an
uncombined joint venture in which we had a 0.1% ownership
interest, while the remaining property, The Grove at
Murfreesboro, was reflected in our combined operating results.
The Grove at Murfreesboro contributed approximately
$1.3 million of revenues and approximately
$0.7 million of operating expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to no contribution to revenues
and operating expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The other four properties that opened in 2009 are
discussed below under the heading Equity in Loss of
Uncombined Entities.
Same-Store Property Operations. We had
19 properties that were operating for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009. These properties contributed
approximately $24.6 million of revenues and approximately
$12.8 million of operating expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to approximately
$22.2 million of revenues and approximately
$11.4 million of operating
88
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Average
occupancy at our same-store properties increased to
approximately 88.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2010
as compared to approximately 80.1% for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and average monthly revenue per occupied bed
increased to approximately $488 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to approximately $486 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily due to increases in property-level
payroll expenses, utilities, repairs and maintenance and real
estate taxes.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Revenues and operating expenses in the development, construction
and management services segment decreased by approximately
$6.5 million and approximately $7.0 million,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our
development, construction and management services segment
recognizes revenues and operating expenses for development,
construction and management services provided to uncombined
joint ventures in which we have an ownership interest. We
eliminate revenue and related expenses on such transactions with
our uncombined entities to the extent of our ownership interest.
The decreases in development, construction and management
services revenues and operating expenses were primarily due to a
decreased level of construction activity on the three uncombined
joint venture properties under construction for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the four uncombined
joint venture properties under construction for the six months
ended June 30, 2009.
We continued to generate development, construction and
management services revenues and operating expenses in 2010 with
respect to the three uncombined joint venture properties that
opened in August 2010. Our ability to generate revenues and
expenses related to future development and construction projects
will depend upon our ability to enter into and provide services
to new joint ventures, including our expected joint venture with
HSRE through which we expect to develop three properties with
completion targeted for the 2011-2012 academic year, as well as
our proportionate ownership of any such joint ventures. We
intend to commence building four additional student housing
properties for our own account upon completion of this offering,
which will be included in our consolidated financial statements
and will not generate development, construction and management
services revenues and operating expenses for us on a
consolidated basis.
General
and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from approximately
$2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to
approximately $2.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to increased
professional fees for accounting and legal services, partially
offset by a decrease in travel related expenses. Approximately
$0.5 million of general and administrative expense incurred
during the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to audits
conducted in 2010 related to prior years. We anticipate that
general and administrative expenses will increase in 2010 as
compared to prior periods as a result of the incremental costs
associated with being a public company.
Ground
Leases
Ground lease expense remained flat at approximately
$0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and the six months ended June 30, 2010. We currently are
party to ground leases with unaffiliated third parties related
to two of our combined properties, Mobile Phase I and Mobile
Phase II, both on the campus of the University of South Alabama.
We expect ground lease expense to remain relatively flat for the
remainder of 2010, unless we enter into additional ground leases
with unaffiliated third parties with respect to future
development properties.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased from
approximately $9.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 to approximately $9.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily
due to depreciation and amortization related to The Grove at
89
Murfreesboro, which opened in 2009. We expect depreciation and
amortization to increase in 2010 due to the full year impact of
depreciation and amortization for The Grove at Murfreesboro and
the inclusion of The Grove at San Marcos in our
consolidated results for a part of 2010.
Equity
in Loss of Uncombined Entities
Equity in loss of uncombined entities, which represents our
share of the net loss from uncombined entities in which we have
a noncontrolling interest, increased from $0 for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 to a loss of approximately
$0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
This increase was primarily due to a loss from our real estate
venture with HSRE, which owned four properties that commenced
operations in August 2009.
Nonoperating
Income (Expenses)
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from
approximately $7.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 to approximately $10.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was primarily
due to interest expense associated with related party loans,
which was $1.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to $0 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and $1.2 million of loan extension fees
incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Additionally, interest previously capitalized during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 related to The Grove at
Murfreesboro was expensed during the six month period ended
June 30, 2010.
Change in Fair Value of Interest Rate
Derivatives. Change in fair value of interest rate
derivatives decreased from a gain of approximately
$2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to
a gain of approximately $0.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to
monthly net cash settlements paid on interest rate swaps of
approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to $0.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009.
Other Income/(Expense). Other expense, net was
approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 as compared with other income, net of
approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. Other income increased primarily as a result
of slightly higher interest earned on invested cash balances.
Comparison
of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008
As of December 31, 2009, our property portfolio consisted
of 20 combined properties, containing approximately 3,728
apartment units and 10,024 beds, four operating properties held
in uncombined joint ventures, containing approximately 748
apartment units and 2,012 beds, and three properties under
construction and held in an uncombined joint venture, containing
approximately 572 apartment units and 1,544 beds. In November
2009, we sold The Grove at Milledgeville to HSRE II, an
affiliate of HSRE, and we retained an indirect ownership
interest of 5%. Since we have the contractual ability and intend
to repurchase those ownership interests in The Grove at
Milledgeville which we had previously sold, we have not
accounted for this transaction as a sale for financial reporting
purposes. Accordingly, The Grove at Milledgeville has been
combined for the full year ended December 31, 2009.

Student
Housing Operations
Revenues (which include student housing leasing and student
housing service revenues) and operating expenses in the student
housing operations segment increased by approximately
$14.4 million and approximately $8.2 million,
respectively, in 2009 as compared to 2008. These increases were
primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of operations in
2009 for the nine properties opened in 2008, whereas the 2008
results included only five months of operations for eight of
these properties and four months of operations for the remaining
property.
New Property Operations. In August and September of 2008,
we opened nine new properties that were developed by us. These
properties contributed approximately $20.5 million of
revenues and approximately $10.8 million of operating
expenses in 2009 as compared to approximately $7.3 million
of revenues and approximately $3.5 million of operating
expenses in 2008. The average occupancy at these properties was
approximately 84.9% for the five months ended December 31,
2009, as compared to approximately 72.6% for the five months
ended December 31, 2008.
In August of 2009, we opened five new properties that were
developed by us. As of December 31, 2009, four of these
properties were owned by an uncombined joint venture in which we
had a 10% ownership interest, while the remaining property, The
Grove at Murfreesboro, was reflected in our combined operating
results. The Grove at Murfreesboro contributed approximately
$1.1 million of revenues and approximately
$0.5 million of operating expenses in 2009 as compared to
no contribution to revenues and operating expenses in 2008. The
other four
91
properties that opened in 2009 are discussed further below under
the heading Equity in Loss of Uncombined
Entities.
Same-Store Property Operations. We had ten
properties that were operating for the full year during both
2009 and 2008. These properties contributed approximately
$24.3 million of revenues and approximately
$11.8 million of operating expenses in 2009 as compared to
approximately $24.3 million of revenues and approximately
$11.4 million of operating expenses in 2008. Average
occupancy at our same-store properties decreased to
approximately 86.4% in 2009 as compared to approximately 86.5%
in 2008, and average monthly revenue per occupied bed increased
to approximately $473 in 2009 as compared to approximately $472
in 2008. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to
increases in marketing, administration, taxes and insurance
costs, which were partially offset by decreases in utilities and
professional fees.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Revenues and operating expenses in the development, construction
and management services segment increased by approximately
$58.2 million and approximately $58.1 million,
respectively, in 2009 as compared to 2008. Our development,
construction and management services segment recognizes revenues
and operating expenses for development, construction and
management services provided to uncombined joint ventures in
which we have an ownership interest. We eliminate revenue and
related expenses on such transactions with our uncombined joint
ventures to the extent of our ownership interest. During 2009,
we completed the construction of four properties owned by
uncombined joint ventures and also commenced construction of
three additional properties owned by uncombined joint ventures,
which opened in August 2010. The significant increases in
development, construction and management services revenues and
operating expenses were primarily due to our development,
construction and management activities related to these new
properties.
General
and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from approximately
$5.4 million in 2008 to approximately $5.6 million in
2009. This increase was primarily due to increased payroll
expense partially offset by a decrease in corporate travel and
other administrative costs. Approximately $0.2 million of
general and administrative expense incurred during the year
ended December 31, 2009 related to audits conducted in 2009
related to prior years. We anticipate that general and
administrative expenses will increase in 2010 as a result of the
incremental costs associated with being a public company.
Ground
Leases
Ground lease expense increased from approximately
$0.2 million in 2008 to approximately $0.3 million in
2009, primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of expense
in 2009 for the ground lease with an unaffiliated third party
relating to Phase II of our Mobile property, which
commenced in 2008.
Write-off
of Pre-Development Costs
Write-off of pre-development costs increased from approximately
$0.2 million in 2008 to approximately $1.2 million in
2009 as a result of events that occurred in 2009 which led
management to conclude that several pre-development projects
would not result in either the acquisition of a site or
commencement of construction.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased from approximately
$13.6 million in 2008 to approximately $18.4 million
in 2009. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of a
full year of depreciation and amortization in 2009 for the nine
properties opened in 2008. We expect
92
depreciation and amortization to increase in 2010 due to the
full year impact of depreciation and amortization for The Grove
at Murfreesboro and the inclusion of The Grove at
San Marcos in our consolidated results for a part of 2010.
Equity
in Loss of Uncombined Entities
Equity in loss of uncombined entities, which represents our
share of the net loss from our joint ventures in which we have a
noncontrolling interest, increased from approximately $0 in 2008
to a loss of approximately $0.1 million in 2009. This
increase was primarily due to a loss from our joint venture with
HSRE, which owned four properties that commenced operations in
2009.
Nonoperating
Income (Expenses)
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from
approximately $14.9 million in 2008 to approximately
$15.9 million in 2009. This increase was primarily due to
an increase in the outstanding principal balance on the
construction loan related to our 2008 property deliveries, which
was partially offset by a decrease in interest rates.
Change in Fair Value of Interest Rate Derivatives. Change
in fair value of interest rate derivatives increased from a loss
of approximately $8.8 million in 2008 to a gain of
approximately $0.8 million in 2009. This increase was
primarily due to the increase in the fair value, or
mark-to-market
value, of our interest rate swaps, which was partially offset by
higher monthly net cash settlement costs on these instruments in
2009.
Other Income / (Expense). Other income, net was
approximately $0.1 million in 2009 as compared with other
expense, net of approximately $0.1 million in 2008. Other
income increased primarily as a result of higher interest income
earned on invested cash balances.
Comparison
of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007
As of December 31, 2008, our property portfolio consisted
of 20 combined properties, containing approximately 3,728
apartment units and 10,024 beds (including one property, The
Grove at Murfreesboro, that was under construction), and three
properties under construction and held in uncombined joint
ventures, containing approximately 576 apartment units and 1,512
beds. These figures exclude The Grove at Lawrence, which
commenced construction in early 2009.

Student
Housing Operations
Revenues (which include student housing leasing and student
housing service revenues) and operating expenses in the student
housing operations segment increased by approximately
$15.9 million and approximately $7.4 million,
respectively, in 2008 as compared to 2007. These increases were
primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of operations in
2008 for the six properties opened in 2007, whereas the 2007
results included only five months of operations for five of
these properties and four months of operations for the remaining
property.
New Property Operations. In August and September of 2007,
we opened six new properties that were developed by us. These
properties contributed approximately $14.8 million of
revenues and approximately $7.0 million of operating
expenses in 2008 as compared to approximately $6.6 million
of revenues and approximately $2.6 million of operating
expenses in 2007. The average occupancy at these properties was
approximately 80.7% for the five months ended December 31,
2008 as compared to approximately 95.7% for the five months
ended December 31, 2007.
94
In August and September of 2008, we opened nine new properties
that were developed by us and reflected in our 2008 combined
operating results. These properties contributed approximately
$7.3 million of revenues and approximately
$3.5 million of operating expenses in 2008 as compared to
no contribution to revenues and operating expenses in 2007.
Same-Store Property Operations. We had four
properties that were operating for the full year during both
2008 and 2007. These properties contributed approximately
$9.5 million of revenues and approximately
$4.4 million of operating expenses in 2008 as compared to
approximately $9.1 million of revenues and approximately
$4.8 million of operating expenses in 2007. Average
occupancy at our same-store properties decreased to
approximately 87.0% in 2008 as compared to approximately 87.9%
in 2007, while average monthly revenue per occupied bed
increased to approximately $474 in 2008 as compared to
approximately $448 in 2007. The decrease in operating expenses
was primarily due to decreases in administration and maintenance
costs, which were partially offset by increases in utilities
costs, taxes and insurance.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Revenues and operating expenses in the development, construction
and management services segment increased by approximately
$2.5 million and approximately $2.1 million,
respectively, in 2008 as compared to 2007. Our development,
construction and management services segment recognizes revenues
and operating expenses for development, construction and
management services provided to uncombined joint ventures in
which we have an ownership interest. We eliminate revenue and
related expenses on such transactions with our uncombined real
estate ventures to the extent of our ownership interest. During
2008 and the early part of 2009, we commenced the construction
of four properties owned by uncombined joint ventures, which
were completed in 2009. The increases in development,
construction and management services revenues and operating
expenses were primarily due to our development, construction and
management activities relating to these new properties. During
2007 we had no material construction and development services
revenues or operating expenses related to uncombined joint
ventures.
General
and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased from
$3.5 million in 2007 to approximately $5.4 million in
2008. This increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll,
travel and associated overhead expenses related to the increase
in the size and scope of our business.
Ground
Leases
Ground lease expense increased from less than $0.1 million
in 2007 to approximately $0.2 million in 2008, primarily
due to the new ground lease with an unaffiliated third party
executed in 2008 for the land at The Grove at Mobile Phase II.
Write-off
of Pre-Development Costs
Write-off of pre-development costs increased from $0 in 2007 to
approximately $0.2 million in 2008 as a result of events
that occurred in 2008 which led management to conclude that
several pre-development projects would not result in either the
acquisition of a site or commencement of construction.
95
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased from approximately
$5.8 million in 2007 to approximately $13.6 million in
2008. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of a full
year of depreciation and amortization in 2008 for the six
properties opened in 2007, as well as the inclusion of partial
year depreciation and amortization in 2008 for the nine
properties that opened in the fall of 2008.
Nonoperating
Income (Expenses)
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from
approximately $6.6 million in 2007 to approximately
$14.9 million in 2008. This increase was primarily due to
an increase in the outstanding principal balance on mortgage and
construction loans, which was partially offset by a decrease in
interest rates throughout 2008.
Change in Fair Value of Interest Rate Derivatives: Change
in fair value of interest rate derivatives decreased from
approximately $(2.1) million in 2007 to approximately
$(8.8) million in 2008. This fluctuation was primarily due
to the change in the fair value, or
mark-to-market
value, of our interest rate swaps, due to a decrease in interest
rates throughout 2008.
Other Income / (Expense). Other income, net was
approximately $0.1 million in 2007 as compared with other
expense, net of approximately $0.1 million in 2008. Other
income decreased in 2008 primarily as a result of lower interest
income earned on invested cash balances.
Cash
Flows
Comparison
of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009
Operating
Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to approximately $2.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately
$0.6 million. Changes in working capital accounts provided
approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 while approximately $0.9 million was
used by working capital accounts for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, representing an increase in cash provided of
approximately $3.2 million. This change was driven by
improvement in the timing of construction cash collections
during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Investing
Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately
$2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to approximately $12.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately
$10.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to
significantly curtailed development and construction activity
related to combined properties in the six months ended
June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2009. Investing activities in 2009 related
primarily to the completed construction of The Grove at
Murfreesboro as well as investments in uncombined joint ventures.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately
$0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to approximately $5.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately
$5.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to
significantly less development and construction activity related
to combined properties and lower
96
corresponding debt financing activity. Financing activities for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 included borrowings to
fund the construction of The Grove at Murfreesboro and
borrowings to fund other debt repayment.
Comparison
of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008
Operating
Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$4.4 million in 2009 as compared to approximately
$1.3 million in 2008, an increase of approximately
$3.1 million. Changes in working capital accounts provided
approximately $2.7 million in 2009 as compared to
approximately $4.3 million in 2008, an increased use of
approximately $1.6 million. This change was driven by
increased investment in our platform infrastructure as a result
of the growth in our business from 2008 to 2009.
Investing
Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately
$23.6 million in 2009 as compared to approximately
$148.4 million in 2008, a decrease of approximately
$124.8 million. This decrease was primarily due to
significantly curtailed development and construction activity
related to combined properties in 2009 as compared to 2008.
Investing activities in 2009 related primarily to the completed
construction of The Grove at Murfreesboro as well as investments
in our joint ventures. Investing activities in 2008 related
primarily to the construction activity related to the nine
combined properties that were opened in the fall of 2008.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately
$11.1 million in 2009 as compared to approximately
$144.8 million in 2008, a decrease of approximately
$133.7 million. This decrease was primarily due to
significantly less development and construction activity related
to combined properties and correspondingly lower debt financing
activity. Financing activities in 2009 included borrowings to
fund the construction of The Grove at Murfreesboro and
borrowings to fund other debt repayment. Financing activities in
2008 included borrowings to fund the construction activity of
the nine new properties opened in 2008 and borrowings to repay
construction financing on the six properties opened in 2007.
Comparison
of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007
Operating
Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$1.3 million in 2008 as compared to approximately
$1.2 million used in operating activities in 2007,
representing an increase in cash provided of approximately
$2.5 million. Changes in working capital accounts provided
approximately $4.3 million in 2008 while approximately
$0.7 million was used by working capital accounts in 2007,
representing an increase in cash provided of approximately
$5.0 million. This change was primarily due to the increase
in the number of operating properties in 2008 as compared to
2007.
Investing
Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately
$148.4 million in 2008 as compared to approximately
$113.0 million in 2007, an increase of approximately
$35.4 million. This increase was primarily due to increased
development and construction activity in 2008 as compared to
2007. Investing activities in 2008 related primarily to the
completed construction of the nine combined
97
properties that were opened in the fall of 2008. Investing
activities in 2007 related primarily to the completed
construction of the six combined properties that were opened in
2007 as well as the commencement of construction on the nine
combined properties that were opened in 2008.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately
$144.8 million in 2008 as compared to approximately
$126.1 million in 2007, an increase of approximately
$18.7 million. This increase was primarily due to increased
development and construction activity and correspondingly higher
debt financing activity. Financing activities in 2008 included
borrowings to fund the completed construction of the nine new
properties opened in the fall of 2008 and borrowings to repay
construction financing on the six properties opened in the fall
of 2007. Financing activities in 2007 included borrowings to
fund the construction of six new properties opened in the fall
of 2007 and borrowings to fund the commencement of construction
on the nine new properties opened in the fall of 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As a REIT, we generally must distribute annually at least 90% of
our REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, in
order for corporate income tax not to apply to earnings that we
distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution
requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable
income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income
tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be
subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount
that we distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is
less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal
income tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our
stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code and to avoid paying corporate tax on undistributed
income. In addition, as discussed under Our Distribution
Policy, we intend to make distributions that exceed these
requirements. We may need to obtain financing to meet our
distribution requirements because:
|
|
|
|
|
our income may not be matched by our related expenses at the
time the income is considered received for purposes of
determining taxable income; and
|
|
|
|
non-deductible capital expenditures, creation of reserves or
debt service requirements may reduce available cash but not
taxable income.
|
In these circumstances, we may be forced to obtain third-party
financing on terms we might otherwise find unfavorable, and we
cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing.
Alternatively, if we are unable or unwilling to obtain
third-party financing on the available terms, we could choose to
pay a portion of our distributions in stock instead of cash, or
we may fund distributions through asset sales.
Upon completion of this offering, the application of the net
proceeds therefrom and our formation transactions, we will have
approximately $106.0 million of total consolidated
indebtedness (which does not include any indebtedness we may
incur in connection with any future distributions or any other
unanticipated borrowings under our revolving credit facility),
representing an initial debt to total market capitalization
ratio of approximately 22.7%. We define our debt to total market
capitalization ratio as our total outstanding consolidated
indebtedness divided by the sum of the market value of our
outstanding common stock and preferred stock (which may
decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total market
capitalization ratio), including shares of restricted stock or
restricted stock units that we may issue to our officers and
directors under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan, plus the
aggregate value of OP units, plus the book value of our total
consolidated indebtedness (excluding indebtedness encumbering
our current and
98
future joint venture properties). As of June 30, 2010, on a
pro forma basis, our pro rata share of indebtedness encumbering
properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures was
approximately $38.7 million.
Principal
Capital Resources
We have entered into a credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. and
certain other parties thereto relating to a three-year,
$125 million senior secured revolving credit facility,
which will become effective immediately upon completion of this
offering and satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions.
This facility will be secured by 12 of our properties.
Affiliates of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. will act as
administrative agent, collateral agent, lead arranger and book
running manager, and affiliates of Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman,
Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC Capital
Markets Corporation (together with other financial institutions)
will act as lenders under our revolving credit facility. We
expect to use approximately $45.2 million borrowed under
our revolving credit facility, together with a portion of the
net proceeds from this offering, to repay in full our mortgage
loan with Silverton Bank that is currently secured by six of our
properties. In addition, we expect to use approximately
$1.6 million of our revolving credit facility to issue
letters of credit relating to indebtedness secured by The Grove
at Carrollton, The Grove at MobilePhase II and The
Grove at Las Cruces. Upon completion of this offering and giving
effect to the foregoing uses and our expected borrowing base, we
expect to have approximately $55.6 million of borrowing
capacity available under our revolving credit facility. Amounts
drawn under our revolving credit facility immediately upon
completion of this offering will reduce the amount that we can
borrow under this facility for other purposes. We also intend to
use this facility for general corporate purposes and to finance,
among other things, future growth opportunities, including the
seven properties that we expect to commence building upon
completion of this offering, four of which are expected to be
wholly-owned by us and three of which are expected to be owned
by a new joint venture that we expect to establish with HSRE and
in which we expect to own a 20% interest.
The amount available for us to borrow under the facility will be
based on a percentage of the appraisal value of our properties
that form the borrowing base of the facility. Upon completion of
this offering, we expect to be able to borrow up to
approximately $102.4 million of the $125 million of
commitments under the facility. We will use approximately
$45.2 million borrowed under our revolving credit facility,
together with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering,
to repay in full our mortgage loan with Silverton Bank that is
secured by six of our properties. In addition, we will issue
letters of credit with an aggregate amount of approximately
$1.6 million relating to indebtedness secured by The Grove
at Carrollton, The Grove at MobilePhase II and The
Grove at Las Cruces. Giving effect to the foregoing, we will
have approximately $55.6 million of borrowing capacity
under our revolving credit facility. We intend to pursue
alternative, longer-term financing for some or all of the
properties currently securing our mortgage loan with Silverton
Bank when they are released from the lien of the mortgage in
connection with our formation transactions. For eligible
properties, this may include debt financing provided by Freddie
Mac or Fannie Mae. Additionally, the facility will have an
accordion feature that allows us to request an increase in the
total commitments of up to $75 million to
$200 million. Amounts outstanding under our revolving
credit facility will bear interest at a floating rate equal to,
at our election, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as
defined in our revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The
spread will depend upon our leverage ratio and will range from
2.75% to 3.50% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from
1.75% to 2.50% for Base Rate based borrowings.
99
Our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility will
be subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of customary
financial covenants, including:
|
|
|
|
|
a maximum leverage ratio of 0.60 : 1.00;
|
|
|
|
a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 : 1.00;
|
|
|
|
a minimum ratio of fixed rate debt and debt subject to hedge
agreements to total debt of 66.67%;
|
|
|
|
a maximum secured recourse debt ratio of 20%; and
|
|
|
|
a minimum tangible net worth of the sum of 75% of our tangible
net worth plus an amount equal to 75% of the net proceeds of any
additional equity issuances.
|
Under our revolving credit facility, our distributions may not
exceed the greater of (i) 90.0% of our FFO or (ii) the
amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a
REIT. If a default or event of default occurs and is continuing,
we may be precluded from making certain distributions (other
than those required to allow us to qualify and maintain our
status as a REIT).
We expect that we and certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee
the obligations under our revolving credit facility and that we
and certain of our subsidiaries will pledge specified assets
(including real property), stock and other interests as
collateral for our revolving credit facility obligations.
The commitments from the lenders are subject to closing
conditions that are expected to include, among other things,
satisfactory review by lenders of appraisals, environmental
reports, engineering reports, other company- and property-level
diligence, successful completion of this offering, absence of
material adverse changes, payment of fees, and the negotiation,
execution and delivery of definitive documentation satisfactory
to Citibank, N.A. and the other lenders. Although we currently
expect to meet these requirements, there can be no assurance
that all of the closing conditions will be satisfied.
The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of our
revolving credit facility that will become effective immediately
upon completion of this offering and satisfaction of customary
loan closing conditions. For more information, see the credit
agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part.
In addition to borrowings under our revolving credit facility,
we may also use non-recourse mortgage financing to make
acquisitions or refinance short-term borrowings under our
revolving credit facility. We may also seek to raise additional
capital through the issuance of our common stock, preferred
stock, OP units and debt or other securities or through property
dispositions or joint venture transactions. Any debt incurred or
issued by us may be secured or unsecured,
long-term or
short-term, fixed or variable interest rate and may be subject
to such other terms as we deem prudent. Our ability to access
the lending and capital markets will be dependent on a number of
factors, including general market conditions for REITs, our
historical and anticipated financial condition, liquidity,
results of operations and FFO and market perceptions about us
and our competitors.
We derive the majority of our cash flow from operations from
student-tenants who lease beds from us at our properties.
Therefore, our ability to generate cash flow from operations is
dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect
from our tenants. General economic downturns or downturns in the
markets in which we own properties may adversely affect the
100
ability of our student-tenants to meet their lease obligations
to us. In that event, our cash flow from operations could be
materially and adversely affected.
Short-Term
Liquidity Needs
The nature of our business, coupled with the requirement imposed
by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our
REIT taxable income on an annual basis in order for us to
qualify as a REIT, will cause us to have substantial liquidity
needs. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds
necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our
properties, recurring capital expenditures, development costs,
interest expense, scheduled debt service payments and expected
distribution payments (including distributions to persons who
hold OP units). We expect to meet our short-term liquidity needs
through cash flow from operations and, to the extent necessary,
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Assuming
completion of this offering and the application of the net
proceeds therefrom, we expect that cash flow from operations and
borrowings under our anticipated revolving credit facility will
be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least
the next 12 months. In the event that we do not complete
this offering, we would likely reduce our capital expenditures
and development plans and pursue alternative financing
arrangements, that may include selling operating properties, as
necessary in order to meet our cash requirements for the next
12 months.
Recurring
Capital Expenditures
Our properties require periodic investments of capital for
general maintenance. These recurring capital expenditures vary
in size annually based upon the nature of the maintenance
required for that time period. For example, recently developed
properties typically do not require major maintenance such as
the replacement of a roof. In addition, capital expenditures
associated with newly acquired or developed properties are
typically capitalized as part of their acquisition price or
development budget, so that such properties typically begin to
require recurring capital expenditures only following their
first year of ownership.

Total number of beds is as of
January 1 of the year indicated, excluding beds at combined
properties that commenced operations during the year indicated,
as they did not require material recurring capital expenditures.
|
In 2007, we had four properties with 1,924 beds and an average
age of approximately 0.6 years, excluding properties which
commenced operation in that year, that required maintenance
capital expenditures. Such expenditures included large scale
furniture replacements in common areas associated with an
updated layout at two properties. In 2008, we had ten properties
with 4,966 beds and an average age of approximately
0.9 years, excluding properties which commenced operation
in that year, that required maintenance capital expenditures.
Such expenditures included furniture, fitness equipment,
landscaping and a major ADA-related renovation at one of our
properties which we have included as a maintenance capital
expenditure because this amount was not part of the initial
construction budget for this property and is not considered
revenue enhancing. In 2009, we had 19 properties with 9,520 beds
and an average age of approximately 1.2 years, excluding
properties which commenced operation in that year, that required
maintenance capital expenditures. Such expenditures included
furniture replacement.
101
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will have 27 properties with 13,580 beds. We
estimate that we will incur approximately $35.31 of maintenance
capital expenditures per bed during 2010 at our combined
properties. Such expenditures are estimated to be primarily for
furniture replacement. The differential in per bed recurring
maintenance capital expenditures from 2007 through our 2010
estimate is a function of the uneven nature of the timing of
such expenditures and the amplified effects of these costs over
a smaller base of beds historically.
Additionally, we are contractually required to fund reserves for
capital repairs at certain mortgaged properties. In particular,
our indebtedness relating to our Asheville property requires us
to fund a monthly reserve of $5,000 for capital repairs and our
indebtedness relating to our Carrollton, Las Cruces and
Milledgeville properties requires us to fund a monthly reserve
of $5,125 per property for capital repairs. Indebtedness
relating to our Conway property, in which we will own a 49.9%
interest, requires a monthly reserve of $4,167 for capital
repairs, subject to a maximum reserve of $150,000.
Development
Expenditures
Our development activities have historically required us to fund
pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees,
engineering fees and earnest deposits. Because the closing of a
development projects financing is often subject to various
delays, we cannot always predict accurately the liquidity needs
of these activities. We frequently incur these pre-development
expenditures before a financing commitment has been obtained
and, accordingly, bear the risk of the loss of these
pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be
arranged on acceptable terms.
We expect that, subject to completion of this offering, we will
commence building seven new student housing properties, four of
which are expected to be wholly-owned by us and three of which
are expected to be owned by a new joint venture that we expect
to establish with HSRE and in which we expect to own a 20%
interest. We are currently targeting completion of these seven
properties for the 2011-2012 academic year. For each of these
projects, we have conducted significant pre-development
activities and are in the process of obtaining the necessary
zoning and site plan approvals. We estimate that the cost to
complete all four wholly-owned properties will be approximately
$87.9 million. Additionally, we will be obligated to fund
our pro rata portion of the development costs of our expected
joint venture with HSRE, and we estimate that the cost to
complete the three joint venture properties will be
approximately $70.3 million and our pro rata share will be
approximately $14.1 million. No assurance can be given that
we will complete construction of these seven properties in
accordance with our current expectations (including the
estimated cost thereof). We expect to finance the construction
of these seven properties through borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, new project-specific construction indebtedness
and contributions from HSRE. However, we may not be able to
obtain financing on terms acceptable to us.
Long-Term
Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds
necessary to pay for long-term development activities,
non-recurring capital expenditures, potential acquisitions of
properties and payments of debt at maturity. Long-term liquidity
needs may also include the payment of unexpected contingencies,
such as remediation of unknown environmental conditions at our
properties or at additional properties that we develop or
acquire, or renovations necessary to comply with the ADA or
other regulatory requirements. We do not expect that we will
have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of our long-term
liquidity needs. We will therefore seek to satisfy these needs
through cash flow from operations, additional long-term secured
and unsecured debt, including borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, the issuance of debt securities, the issuance
of equity securities and
equity-related
securities (including OP units), property dispositions and joint
venture transactions. We believe that we will have access to
these
102
sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements,
but, as a new public company, we cannot make any assurance that
this will be the case, especially in difficult market conditions.
We have identified over 200 markets and approximately 80
specific sites within these markets as potential future
development opportunities, and our current business plan
contemplates the development of approximately five to seven new
student housing properties per year. No assurance can be given
that we will not adjust our business plan as it relates to
development, or that any particular development opportunity will
be undertaken or completed in accordance with our current
expectations.

immediately upon completion of this offering; this amount will
bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the
Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in our
revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The spread will depend
upon our leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to 3.50% for
Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 1.75% to 2.50% for
Base Rate based borrowings.

In connection with completion of this offering, we expect to
assume the indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $60.8 million described in the above table
that is secured by mortgages on The Grove at Asheville, The
Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at Las Cruces and The Grove at
Milledgeville. We have obtained approvals necessary to assume
this debt, subject to customary closing conditions, including
title endorsements, delivery of legal opinions, borrower
certifications regarding the absence of defaults and no adverse
change in each propertys operating performance and payment
of costs incurred in connection with the transfer. While we have
no reason to believe that we will not be able to satisfy all of
the conditions necessary for our assumption of this
indebtedness, no assurance can be given that we will
successfully meet all these conditions.
Following this offering, the pro forma weighted average annual
interest rate on our total long-term indebtedness as of
June 30, 2010 will be approximately 4.81%, and all of our
outstanding indebtedness will be fixed rate except for any
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. After completion
of this offering and our formation transactions, our ratio of
debt to total market capitalization will be approximately 22.7%
(12.8% if the underwriters over-allotment option is
exercised in full), excluding indebtedness encumbering our
current and future joint venture properties. However, we expect
to incur additional indebtedness, consistent with our financing
policy, in connection with our development activities following
this offering. For further information concerning our long-term
indebtedness, see Policies with Respect to Certain
ActivitiesFinancing Policies.

Consents
or Waivers Under our Loan Documents
At June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, we were not in compliance with covenants relating to
(a) unresolved liens and claims for materials or labor, and
(b) debt service coverage under the Wachovia Bank Nine
Property Construction Loan (which is secured by The Grove at
Cheney, The Grove at Jonesboro, The Grove at Lubbock, The Grove
at Murfreesboro, The Grove at Stephenville, The Grove at Troy,
The Grove at Waco, The Grove at Wichita and The Grove at Wichita
Falls). On May 7, 2010, we received a commitment
(i) allowing us until August 31, 2010 to bond over
and/or cause
to be released all remaining unresolved liens, (ii) waiving
our non-compliance with the debt service coverage covenant as of
December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 and substituting
a debt yield covenant in lieu of a debt service covenant and
(iii) committing to extend the maturity of the construction
loan to January 31, 2011. On August 16, 2010, we
entered into an agreement, the execution of which memorializes
the terms and conditions of the May 7, 2010 commitment, as
extended from time to time, including a waiver of non-compliance
with the debt service coverage covenant as of June 30,
2010. On August 31, 2010, we entered into an agreement
allowing us until October 31, 2010 to bond over
and/or cause
all remaining unresolved liens to be released. We intend to
repay the indebtedness under this credit facility in full with a
portion of the net proceeds from this offering.
At December 31, 2009, we were not in compliance with the
covenant relating to unresolved liens and claims for materials
or labor under the Wachovia Bank Three Property Construction
Loan (which is secured by The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo and The Grove at San Marcos). On
May 12, 2010, the lender under this construction loan
acknowledged and consented to our proposal for the satisfaction
of the liens and claims with a portion of the net proceeds from
this offering, and waived our non-compliance with the covenant.
On August 31, 2010, we entered into an agreement allowing
us until October 31, 2010 to satisfy the liens and claims
with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering.
We were not in compliance with covenants under the Silverton
Bank Mortgage Loan (which is secured by The Grove at Abilene,
The Grove at Ellensburg, The Grove at Greeley, The Grove at
Jacksonville, The Grove at MobilePhase I and The Grove at
Nacogdoches) for the borrowing quarters ended October 31,
2009, January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2010 as a result
of non-compliance with the debt service coverage covenant and
debt yield percentage covenant set forth in the loan documents.
Additionally, based on current operating projections, we do not
expect to satisfy either covenant through the end of 2010. On
April 9, 2010, we received a waiver of non-compliance with
these covenants from the lender under this mortgage loan for the
borrowing quarters ended October 31, 2009 and
January 31, 2010. On May 13, 2010, we received a
waiver of non-compliance with the covenants from the lender
under this mortgage loan for the borrowing quarter ended
April 30, 2010. We have also obtained a waiver of
non-compliance for the borrowing quarters ended July 31,
2010 and a forward waiver of non-compliance for the borrowing
quarters ending October 31, 2010 and January 31, 2011.
We intend to repay the indebtedness under this credit facility
in full with a portion of the net proceeds of this offering and
borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Upon completion of this offering and the application of a
portion of the net proceeds therefrom to reduce outstanding
indebtedness, as described above, we expect to be in compliance
with all applicable debt covenants. However, if we do not
complete this offering we would need to access alternative
capital resources, and there is no assurance that we would be
successful in doing so. An inability to refinance maturing
indebtedness or obtain alternative financing would have a
material adverse affect on our business and financial condition.
105
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
HSRE
Joint Venture
We use joint venture arrangements to finance certain of our
properties. As discussed above, we have entered into three joint
venture arrangements with HSRE. Upon completion of this offering
and our formation transactions, we will be party only to one of
the foregoing joint venture arrangements relating to six
properties, in which we will own a 49.9% interest and which will
be accounted for as an investment in an unconsolidated joint
venture. Additionally, we expect to establish a new joint
venture with HSRE, in which we expect to own a 20% interest that
will build three student housing properties with completion
targeted for the
2011-2012
academic year. As of June 30, 2010, on a pro forma basis,
our pro rata share of indebtedness encumbering properties
held in the unconsolidated entity in which we own a 49.9%
interest was approximately $38.7 million.
Funds
From Operations (FFO)
FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental
operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate FFO in
accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of
Governors of NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net
income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding
extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses
from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate
assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in
excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization and
gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a
performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures
trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses.
We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the
performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a
basis to compare our operating performance with that of other
REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and
amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of
our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the
level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the
operating performance of our properties, all of which have real
economic effects and could materially and adversely impact our
results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our
performance is limited.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating
performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use
different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly,
FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to
FFO published herein. Therefore, we believe that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating
results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income
(loss) as presented in the combined financial statements and the
other financial statements included elsewhere in this
prospectus. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an
indicator of our properties financial performance or to
cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with
GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of
funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to
pay dividends or make distributions.
106
The following table presents a reconciliation of our FFO to our
net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
and years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

In addition to FFO, we believe it is also a meaningful measure
of our performance to adjust FFO to exclude the change in fair
value of interest rate derivatives and the write-off of
development costs. Excluding the change in fair value of
interest rate derivatives and development cost write-offs
adjusts FFO to be more reflective of operating results prior to
capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or
other commitments and contingencies. This measure is referred to
herein as FFOA.

Inflation
Our leases do not typically provide for rent escalations.
However, they typically do not have terms that extend beyond
12 months. Accordingly, although on a short-term basis we
would be required to bear the impact of rising costs resulting
from inflation, we have the opportunity to raise rental rates at
least annually to offset such rising costs. However, a weak
economic environment or declining student enrollment at our
principal colleges and universities may limit our ability to
raise rental rates.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Following this offering, all of our outstanding indebtedness
will have a fixed rate of interest except for amounts
outstanding under our revolving credit facility that will become
effective immediately upon completion of this offering and
satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions, which will
bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the
Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in our
revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The spread will depend
upon our leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to 3.50% for
Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 1.75% to 2.50% for
Base Rate based borrowings.
We may in the future use derivative financial instruments to
manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to such variable
rate borrowings. We do not, and do not expect to, use
derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and we expect
to enter into contracts only with major financial institutions.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that
management believes are critical to the preparation of the
historical combined financial statements included in this
prospectus. Certain of these accounting policies are
particularly important for an understanding of the financial
position and results of operations presented in the historical
combined financial statements included in this prospectus. These
policies require the application of judgment and assumptions by
management and, as a result, are subject to a degree of
uncertainty. Actual results could differ as a result of such
judgment and assumptions.
Our historical combined financial statements include the
accounts of all investments, which include joint ventures in
which we have a controlling interest, and the combined
subsidiaries of the Predecessor. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions combined that affect amounts reported
in our historical combined financial statements and related
notes. In preparing these combined financial statements,
management has utilized all available information, including its
past history, industry standards and the current economic
environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and
judgments of certain amounts included in the historical combined
financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality.
Our estimates may not be ultimately realized. Application of the
critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of
judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and,
as a result, actual results will differ from these estimates. In
addition, other companies in similar businesses may utilize
different estimation policies and methodologies, which may
impact the comparability of our results of operations and
financial condition to those companies.
Valuation
of Investment in Real Estate
Investment in real estate is recorded at historical cost.
Pre-development expenditures include items such as entitlement
costs, architectural fees and deposits associated with the
pursuit of partially-owned and wholly-owned development
projects. These costs are capitalized until such time that
management believes it is probable that a contract will be
executed
and/or
construction will commence. Management evaluates the status of
projects where we have not yet acquired the target property or
where we have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis
and writes off any pre-development costs related to projects
whose current status indicates the commencement of construction
is not probable. Such write-offs are included within operating
expenses in the accompanying combined statements of operations.
108
Management assesses whether there has been impairment in the
value of our investment in real estate whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of investment in
real estate is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of a student housing property to the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the
property. The estimation of expected future cash flows is
inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current
and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions
change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of our
long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which
conditions change. To the extent that a property is impaired,
the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its
estimated fair value is charged to operating earnings. Fair
value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the
property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as
considered necessary.
Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized in
the balance sheet at cost and are subsequently adjusted to
reflect our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the
entity, distributions received, contributions, and certain other
adjustments, as appropriate. When circumstances indicate there
may have been a loss in value of an equity method investment, we
evaluate the investment for impairment by estimating our ability
to recover the investment from future expected discounted cash
flows. If we determine the loss in value is other than
temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the
investment at fair value.
Student
Housing Revenue
Students are required to execute lease contracts with payment
schedules that vary from annual to monthly payments. We
recognize revenues and related lease incentives on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease contracts.
Generally, each executed contract is required to be accompanied
by a signed parental guaranty. Amounts received in advance of
the occupancy period are recorded as deferred revenues and
included in other liabilities on the accompanying combined
balance sheets. Service revenue is recognized when earned.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Development and construction service revenue is recognized using
the percentage of completion method, as determined by
construction costs incurred relative to total estimated
construction costs. Any changes in significant judgments
and/or
estimates used in determining construction and development
revenue could significantly change the timing or amount of
construction and development revenue recognized.
Development and construction service revenues are recognized for
contracts with entities we do not combine. For projects where
the revenue is based on a fixed price, any cost overruns
incurred during construction, as compared to the original
budget, will reduce the net profit ultimately recognized on
those projects. Profit derived from these projects is eliminated
to the extent of the predecessor entities ownership
interest in the uncombined entity. Any incentive fees, net of
the impact of our ownership interest if the entity is an
uncombined entity, are recognized when the project is complete
and performance has been agreed upon by all parties, or when
performance has been verified by an independent third party.
When total development or construction costs at completion
exceed the fixed price set forth within the related contract,
such cost overruns are recorded as an additional investment in
the uncombined entity.
Management fees, net of elimination to the extent of our
ownership in uncombined entities, are recognized when earned in
accordance with each management contract for entities we do not
combine. Incentive management fees are recognized when the
incentive criteria are met.
109
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Allowances for student receivables are established when
management determines that collections of such receivables are
doubtful. Balances are considered past due when payment is not
received on the contractual due date. When management has
determined receivables are uncollectible, they are written off
against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
In certain instances, interest rate swap agreements used to
manage floating interest rate exposure are executed with respect
to amounts borrowed, or forecasted to be borrowed, under credit
facilities. These contracts effectively exchange existing or
forecasted obligations to pay interest based on floating rates
for obligations to pay interest based on fixed rates. All
derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or
liabilities on the combined balance sheet at their respective
fair values. Our derivatives have not met the requirements for
hedge accounting treatment; therefore, all gains and losses
related to derivative instruments are recorded in the combined
statements of operations.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, investments, student receivables, accounts payable,
mortgages, construction notes payable and lines of credit. The
carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, investments, student
receivables and accounts payable are representative of their
respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. The estimated fair values of mortgages,
construction notes payable and lines of credit are determined by
comparing current borrowing rates and risk spreads offered in
the market to the stated interest rates and spreads on our
current mortgages, construction notes payable and lines of
credit.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using
widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash
flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable
market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied
volatilities and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.
On January 1, 2008, we adopted guidance for accounting for
fair value measurements of financial assets and financial
liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial
items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
combined financial statements on a recurring basis. On
January 1, 2009, we adopted guidance for fair value
measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized
and disclosed at fair value in the combined financial statements
on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to measurements involving significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets at
the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as
quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are
observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability.
|
110
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data
and which the Predecessor makes its own assumptions about how
market participants would price the asset or liability.
|
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when
selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date
(exit price). In instances where inputs used to measure fair
value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based
on the lowest level input significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance
of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the
asset or liability.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
FASB, issued new accounting guidance which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to
as minority interest). It also requires that a retained
noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary
be initially measured at its fair value. We are required to
report any noncontrolling interests as a separate component of
equity and present any net income allocable to noncontrolling
interests and net income attributable to the Predecessor
separately in the combined statements of operations. As
required, we adopted this new guidance beginning January 1,
2009. As a result of the adoption, the former minority interest
classification was eliminated and related amounts are now
reflected as a component of equity. Additionally, during 2009,
noncontrolling interests were attributed the full amount of
their portion of any net losses. Previously, they were only
allocated losses up to their remaining investment balance. It
requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure
requirements for existing minority interests. All other
requirements are applied prospectively.
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring
enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. The Predecessor adopted
the new guidance beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption
did not have a significant effect on our combined financial
statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring
disclosure of the fair value of all financial instruments
(recognized or unrecognized) when practicable to do so. These
fair value disclosures must be presented together with the
related carrying amount of the financial instruments in a manner
that clearly distinguishes between assets and liabilities and
indicates how the carrying amounts relate to the amounts
reported on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
adoption did not have a material impact on our combined
financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance regarding
subsequent events. The new guidance sets forth the period after
the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements, and disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet
date. The Predecessor adopted this guidance during 2009 and the
adoption did not have a material impact on our combined
financial statements.
111
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance changing
the consolidation analysis for variable interest entities, or
VIEs, and requiring a qualitative analysis to
determine the primary beneficiary. The determination of the
primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether the entity has
the power to direct matters which most significantly impact the
activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses,
or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE which could
potentially be significant to the VIE. It requires additional
disclosures for VIEs, including disclosures about a reporting
entitys involvement with VIEs, how a reporting
entitys involvement with a VIE affects the reporting
entitys financial statements, and significant judgments
and assumptions made by the reporting entity to determine
whether it must combine the VIE. It is effective for us
beginning on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating
what impact, if any, its adoption will have on our combined
financial statements.

INDUSTRY
OUTLOOK
The following information is derived from a market study
prepared for us by MGA in connection with this offering. The
forecasts and projections are based on MGAs experience and
data published by the U.S. Department of Education and
other sources, and there is no assurance that any of the
projections will be accurate. We believe that the study is
reliable, but we have not independently verified the information
in the study nor have we ascertained any underlying assumptions
relied upon therein. While we are not aware of any misstatements
regarding the industry data presented herein, estimates involve
risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on
various factors, including those discussed under the heading
Risk Factors.
Understanding
Student Housing
Student housing is broadly defined to include housing designed
to accommodate students enrolled in either full-time or
part-time post-secondary, public and private four-year colleges
and universities, including those that offer advanced degrees.
The student housing market generally does not seek to address
the housing needs of students enrolled in two-year community
colleges and technical colleges, as these institutions do not
generate sufficient and consistent demand for student housing.
The student housing market is a specialized segment of the
residential real estate market. The residential real estate
market is comprised of single-family and multi-family products.
The single-family market is primarily a for-sale market,
although single-family dwellings can also be offered for rent,
particularly as housing market conditions deteriorate and the
ability to sell houses declines. The multi-family market can be
divided into the for-sale market (i.e., condominiums) and
the for-rent market (i.e., apartments), with the latter
category generally considered as a crossover with commercial
real estate, in that such properties are constructed as
income-generating properties, similar to retail, office or
industrial properties. Both single-family for-rent and
multi-family apartments compete directly with student housing.
Overall, the student housing market has certain unique
characteristics that distinguish it from other segments of the
housing market. First, student housing is aimed only at those
persons enrolled in college and not at the general population of
renters. Second, the leasing cycle for student housing
properties is defined by the academic calendar, which results in
a finite leasing window and relatively low
month-to-month
turnover following the start of the academic year. Finally,
student housing properties are designed to accommodate and
appeal to the college lifestyle, which is significantly
different from the lifestyle of a typical multi-family renter.
There are two major types of student housing properties:
on-campus and off-campus. On-campus housing is generally owned
and operated by educational institutions and is located on
school property near or adjacent to classroom buildings and
other campus facilities. Off-campus housing is generally owned
and operated by private investors and is located in close
proximity to campus (i.e., generally within a
two-mile
radius of the campus).
Purpose-built student housing refers to off-campus housing that
is specifically designed and constructed as student housing with
a view towards accommodating the unique characteristics of the
student-tenant. While purpose-built student housing is
classified as a multi-family housing product, it is
significantly different from and more specialized than
traditional multi-family housing products, which are offered to
the broader pool of multi-family renters. Key features of
113
purpose-built student housing that differentiate such properties
from traditional multi-family apartments include:
|
|
|
|
|
by the bed lease terms and rental rates (as opposed
to by the unit apartment leases);
|
|
|
|
bed/bath parity with private en suite baths;
|
|
|
|
fully furnished units;
|
|
|
|
bundled pricing, which typically includes utilities, cable and
Internet;
|
|
|
|
enhanced security features, including keyed bedroom locks and
gated entrances;
|
|
|
|
resort-style amenities (e.g., oversized pools,
volleyball / basketball courts, clubhouses
etc.); and
|
|
|
|
active residence life and student support programs.

Student
Housing Demand Drivers
We believe that increasing demand for student housing will be
driven primarily by four factors: population and enrollment
growth, changing student preferences, institutional
considerations and economic factors.
Population
and Enrollment Growth
The primary driver of demand for student housing is college
enrollment growth, which is in turn driven by population growth,
family formation, birth rate and college attendance rates.
College enrollment growth has been increasing steadily since the
early 1990s as the Echo Boom generation started to
reach college age. The Echo Boom generation is comprised of
children of the Baby Boomers. The term Baby Boomer
generally refers to individuals born in the U.S. between
1946 and 1964, a period of time during which there was a
dramatic increase in births (i.e., a baby
boom), and the term Echo Boomers refers to the
children of Baby Boomers born between the mid-1970s and the end
of the century. While the Echo Boomers can be considered to have
started to turn 18 in the early 1990s through roughly 2020, as
the graph below shows, the main period is estimated to be
between approximately 1996 and 2012.
114
U.S. Population
Turning 18
(1960-2020)
Another major driver of college enrollments is the increasing
percentage of graduating high school students attending college.
Following the original Baby Boom, the U.S. birth rate
declined significantly and reached a trough in the mid-1970s.
Despite this decline in birth rate and the corresponding decline
in the number of people turning 18 through the 1980s and early
1990s, college enrollments actually continued to increase during
this period, as a higher percentage of 18 to 24 year-olds
went to college. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the
share of 18 to 24 year-old high school graduates choosing
to attend college increased from 31.8% in 1980 to 46.1% in 2007,
a trend which is expected to continue.
As of 2008, an estimated 18.7 million students were
enrolled in colleges and universities, representing an increase
of 28.9% from 10 years earlier. The Department of Education
projects that college enrollments in the U.S. will further
increase to 20.4 million by 2017, representing a total
increase of 1.7 million students, or 9.1%, over the 2008
enrollment estimates.
115
College
Enrollments
(1957-2012)
Several other trends are also expected to influence college
enrollments and the demand for student housing, including an
increase in the percentage of full-time (versus part-time)
enrollments and a trend toward longer enrollments.
Full-time
Undergraduate Enrollments as % of Total Undergraduate
Enrollments
(2000-2016)
As illustrated below, only 29% of students that enrolled in
public colleges in 2000 graduated within four years, and 55%
graduated within six years. This trend toward longer time to
degree
116
completion has led to an increase in overall college enrollments
and a corresponding increase in demand for student housing.
Time to
Completion of Undergraduate Degree (Based on Enrollments in
2000)
Changing
Student Preferences
We believe that other major factors driving the growth of the
student housing market are the evolving preferences of student
consumers and the perceived impact of student housing on the
overall college experience. Modern-day college students tend to
have a higher standard of living than previous generations of
students, and such students are increasingly attracted to
housing alternatives that offer a superior level of
accommodations and amenities relative to traditional on-campus,
dormitory style residence halls. Traditional
on-campus housing alternatives have generally consisted of
shared rooms, communal bathroom facilities and extremely limited
(if any) amenities and parking. However, todays college
student is increasingly consumer-oriented and averse to the
utilitarian and largely outdated design of traditional
dormitory-style facilities. This ongoing evolution of student
preferences should drive increased demand for purpose-built
student housing, which is specifically designed to appeal to the
modern day college student with broad amenities, enhanced
privacy and a focus on improving the overall student lifestyle
experience.
Institutional
Considerations
While indications of overall demand trends can be measured using
national statistics, student housing is ultimately a localized
market with unique characteristics among individual local
markets. Thus, when evaluating the attractiveness of a
particular geographic market, it is important to consider the
growth trends specific to the local college(s) in that market as
well as the available housing stock (both on-campus and
off-campus) within the market. Ultimately, institutional growth
rates and their corresponding impact on student housing demand
are dependent upon two important factors: student choice and
institutional enrollment limits.
Students typically apply to more than one college in a
prioritized hierarchy from a first choice institution through a
sequence of descending choices. When first choice institutions
are
117
filled, students are forced to attend their second, third or
other choice. As a result, enrollment limits and, in certain
cases, the smaller increases in capacity at first
choice institutions, are driving increasing numbers of
students to enroll in schools located in alternative,
medium-sized college markets. Thus, while large and established
universities typically have the largest need for student housing
in terms of absolute numbers, the most favorable growth
characteristics are often found at schools located in
medium-sized college markets.
Economic
Factors
Macroeconomic variables can also play a significant role in
college enrollment trends. Generally, economic expansion leads
to job creation and drives the need for a more highly trained
and well-educated workforce, which has been a key driver of the
increase in the percentage of high school graduates choosing to
enroll in college. However, college enrollments have also
historically demonstrated some counter-cyclical characteristics
that have yielded strong enrollment growth even during
recessionary periods. During periods of high unemployment and
limited job creation, more people are inclined to pursue higher
education, often as a means to upgrade their employment
prospects. As shown in the shaded areas below, college
enrollments have consistently increased during recessionary
periods.
Enrollment
Growth and Recessions
(1969-2008)
Economic conditions can also impact a students choice of
college. As families come under increasing financial pressure,
college-bound students are often forced to re-evaluate their
options with a view toward finding more affordable educational
alternatives. According to a survey referenced in US News and
World Report (December 2008), out of 2,500 prospective college
students nationwide, 57% indicated that they were considering a
more affordable college because they were concerned about cost.
As cost becomes a key consideration in the evaluation of college
alternatives, students are increasingly considering schools
located in alternative, medium-sized
118
college markets, which can offer an attractive educational
experience often for a fraction of the cost of private or
flagship public institutions.

Tuition at Public and Private Institutions
(1964-2008)
Student
Housing Supply Considerations
The supply of student housing has continued to decline due to
several key factors, including institutional capital allocation
policies and preferences, state budget cuts and other economic
factors.
Institutional
Capital Allocation
While colleges and universities are generally obligated to
provide adequate classroom facilities and educational resources
to accommodate their student bodies, these institutions are
generally not required to provide housing options commensurate
with enrollment levels. Similarly, college students are
generally not required to live on-campus (although some smaller
private colleges do have on-campus residency requirements). Due
to budget cuts and capital allocation policies, institutions
have increasingly limited their expenditures on the construction
and renovation of on-campus housing, preferring instead to
invest in programs and facilities that enhance their educational
and research capabilities. As a result, a significant and
increasing percentage of college students satisfy their housing
needs with off-campus, private-market alternatives.

On-Campus
Housing Capacity as a % of Undergraduate Enrollments at
Public Universities
On-campus housing capacity is a measure of the amount of
dormitory space available relative to the total number of
students enrolled. As seen in the above chart, on-campus student
housing capacity at public universities has declined since 1990.
As of 2004, U.S. public universities had, on average,
capacity to provide housing to only 24.8% of their undergraduate
populations. This trend is expected to continue as state budget
deficits increase and the financial ability of institutions to
invest in new housing capacity remains constrained.

Educational
Budget Cuts
As state deficits increase, governments face difficult budget
choices that often result in educational budget cuts. Budget
cuts limit the ability of public institutions to invest in
non-core assets such as on-campus student housing, thereby
shifting the burden of providing student housing to the private
sector. In the recent recessionary period, 38 states cut
their educational budgets, while only 11 states increased
their funding of higher education. Even well-funded private
institutions are coping with budgetary pressures, as they seek
to recoup significant endowment losses through reduced spending.
As educational budgets continue to come under pressure and as
student housing slips further down the list of spending
priorities, the supply of suitable on-campus student housing is
expected to continue to decline despite significantly increased
enrollments.
% Change
in Total Higher Education Funding by State (FY 2009 to FY
2010)
Other
Economic Factors
As on-campus housing stock continues to decline in relation to
enrollments, students are increasingly reliant on private-sector
development to satisfy housing needs. However, funding for new
development projects has become increasingly constrained amid
the current economic environment. Refinancing initiatives have
also been difficult as banks continuously look to reduce their
exposure to commercial real estate loans. Together, these
factors create a material restriction on the available supply of
student housing, while demand for such housing continues to
increase.
121
The
Future of Student Housing
While the current accelerated growth in enrollments is projected
to stabilize by 2016, as the Echo Boomer phase of population
growth completes its cycle, college and university enrollments
are nevertheless projected to continue rising over the next four
decades throughout the first half of the century. Colleges and
universities will have to find new ways to supply student
housing as the supply of on-campus housing becomes obsolete and
institutions are unable to fund the replacement of these beds.
This should provide opportunities for private development and
ownership of high-quality, purpose-built student housing.
122
BUSINESS
AND PROPERTIES
Our
Company
Campus Crest Communities, Inc. is a self-managed,
self-administered and vertically-integrated developer, builder,
owner and manager of high-quality, purpose-built student
housing. Prior to this offering, our business was conducted
through Campus Crest Group, which is wholly-owned and controlled
by Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief executive officer,
and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment
officer, and certain members of their families. We intend to
elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal
income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ending
December 31, 2010.
We believe that we are one of the largest vertically-integrated
developers, builders, owners and managers of high-quality,
purpose-built student housing properties in the United States
based on beds owned and under management. Upon completion of
this offering and our formation transactions, we will own
interests in 27 student housing properties containing
approximately 5,048 apartment units and 13,580 beds. Our
properties are located in 11 states and are all recently
built, with an average age of approximately 2.2 years as of
August 31, 2010. Twenty-one of our properties, containing
approximately 3,920 apartment units and 10,528 beds, will be
wholly-owned. Six of our properties, containing approximately
1,128 apartment units and 3,052 beds, will be owned through a
joint venture with HSRE, in which we will own a 49.9% interest.
We recently completed construction of three of our joint venture
properties, each of which commenced operations in August 2010.
As of September 15, 2010, the average occupancy for our
27 properties was approximately 90% and the average monthly
rental revenue per occupied bed was approximately $467. Our
properties are primarily located in medium-sized college and
university markets, which we define as markets located outside
of major U.S. cities that have nearby schools generally with
overall enrollment of approximately 8,000 to 20,000 students. We
believe such markets are underserved and are generally
experiencing enrollment growth.
We were formed to continue and expand the student housing
business of Campus Crest Group, which has been engaged in this
business since 2004. All of our properties have been developed,
built and managed by Campus Crest Group, generally based upon a
common prototypical building design. We believe that our use of
this prototypical building design, which we have built
approximately 410 times at our 27 student housing
properties (approximately 15 of such residential buildings
comprise one student housing property), allows us to efficiently
deliver a uniform and proven student housing product in multiple
markets. All of our properties operate under The
Grove®
brand, and we believe that our brand and the associated
lifestyle are effective differentiators that create higher
visibility and appeal for our properties within their markets.
In addition to our existing properties, we actively seek new
development opportunities. We expect that, subject to completion
of this offering, we will commence building seven new student
housing properties, four of which are expected to be
wholly-owned by us and three of which are expected to be owned
by a new joint venture with HSRE in which we expect to own a 20%
interest. We are currently targeting completion of these seven
properties for the 2011-2012 academic year. For each of these
projects, we have conducted significant pre-development
activities and are in the process of obtaining the necessary
zoning and site plan approvals. In total, we have identified
over 200 markets and approximately 80 specific sites within
these markets as potential future development opportunities, and
our current business plan contemplates the development of
approximately five to seven new student housing properties per
year. No assurance can be given that we will not adjust our
business plan as it relates to development, or that any
particular development opportunity will be undertaken or
completed in accordance with our current expectations.
123
Our
Competitive Strengths
We believe that we distinguish ourselves from other developers,
builders, owners and managers of student housing properties
through the following competitive strengths:
Experienced Management Team with Demonstrated Track
Record. Our management team is led by
Messrs. Rollins and Hartnett, each of whom has over
25 years of real estate investment, advisory and management
experience. Our management team has overseen the financing,
development, construction and management of all of our student
housing properties with an aggregate cost of approximately
$500 million and has grown our business to approximately
13,580 beds since 2004.
Modern, Well-Located Portfolio. The average age of
our student housing properties is approximately 2.2 years
as of August 31, 2010, which we believe is generally lower
than most of our competitors properties. Our properties
have all been developed and constructed based on a prototypical
building design to essentially the same specifications. All of
our properties (i) offer student-tenants bed-bath parity
(private bathrooms), which we believe provides an advantage over
older properties that generally have 3-2 and 4-2 bed bath
configurations, (ii) have been configured with the latest
Internet connectivity, which is critical to attracting
student-tenants and (iii) offer a variety of modern
amenities, which are designed to enhance the lifestyle of our
student-tenants and facilitate a sense of community. In
addition, our properties are located in close proximity to the
campuses of the schools from which they draw student-tenants,
with an average distance to campus of approximately
0.6 miles, thereby offering the best of both
worldsamenity-rich, apartment-style living and near,
or on, campus convenience. We believe that our properties are
generally among the most appealing in their respective markets,
and we further believe that replication of our properties by
existing local competitors would be difficult and expensive to
effect.
Attractive, Branded Properties. All of our
properties operate under The
Grove®
brand, and use the federally registered trademarks, The
Grove®
or The GroveFully Loaded College
Living®
to identify and promote the properties. All of our properties
offer our student-tenants private bedrooms with en suite
bathrooms, full furnishings, full kitchens with modern
appliances, washers and dryers inside each unit,
state-of-the-art
technology, ample parking, and a broad array of other
on-site
amenities, such as resort-style swimming pools, tanning booths,
basketball and volleyball courts, game rooms, coffee bars and
community clubhouses with regularly planned social activities.
We strive to offer not just an apartment but an entire lifestyle
and community experience designed to appeal to the
modern-day
college student. This experience is anchored by our
RockStar / Community Assistant program,
through which we seek to employ local students who demonstrate
leadership on campus (e.g., student council members,
student athletes, extracurricular club officers) to help manage
our student lifestyle programs and support our leasing efforts.
We believe that The
Grove®
experience, coupled with our focused branding and marketing
initiatives, differentiates our properties from those of our
competitors.
Proven and Scalable Business Model. We believe that
our vertically-integrated business model enables us to deliver
properties economically while maintaining consistency in our
building design, construction quality and amenity package. We
believe that our use of a prototypical building design and
volume purchasing, as well as our established relationships with
student-housing focused regional subcontractors, provide us with
an ability to achieve economies that may not be available to
many competitors. We continue to refine our processes and
systems in an effort to reduce costs and improve quality, having
overseen the construction of the same prototypical residential
building approximately 410 times during the last six years.
124
Focus on Underserved College Markets. We generally
focus on medium-sized college and university markets. While
total enrollments in these markets are generally lower than
enrollments in larger educational markets, we believe that the
overall market dynamics are often more favorable. For example,
the enrollment growth rates in these markets often tend to be
higher than in the larger educational markets as capacity
constraints at larger universities and economic considerations
are increasingly driving students toward these more accessible
and affordable schools. Moreover, the supply of competitive
alternative housing stock, both multi-family apartments and
purpose-built student housing, often tends to be lower in these
markets, which we believe allows us to achieve favorable leasing
results on a relatively limited marketing and incentive budget.
Conservative Capitalization. Upon completion of this
offering, application of the net proceeds therefrom and our
formation transactions we will have total consolidated
indebtedness of approximately $106.0 million (including
$45.2 million that we expect to borrow under our revolving
credit facility upon completion of this offering), resulting in
a debt to total market capitalization ratio of approximately
22.7%, which we believe will provide us with incremental
financing capacity to fund future growth opportunities. In
addition, subject to satisfaction of customary loan closing
conditions, we will have a three-year, $125 million senior
secured revolving credit facility, which will become effective
immediately upon completion of this offering. Amounts
outstanding under our revolving credit facility will bear
interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the
Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in our
revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The spread will depend
upon our leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to 3.50% for
Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 1.75% to 2.50% for
Base Rate based borrowings. We expect that this facility will be
used for repaying a portion of our mortgage loan with Silverton
Bank, general corporate purposes and to finance, among other
things, identified future growth opportunities, including the
seven properties that we expect to commence building upon
completion of this offering, four of which are expected to be
wholly-owned by us and three of which are expected to be owned
by a new joint venture that we expect to establish with HSRE and
in which we expect to own a 20% interest. Our ability to borrow
under our revolving credit facility will be subject to the terms
and conditions of our credit agreement, including those relating
to the facilitys borrowing base. See

Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital

Our
Business and Growth Strategies
Our objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders
through the pursuit of the following business and growth
strategies:
Utilize Our Vertically-Integrated Platform. Our
vertically-integrated platform performs each key function in the
student housing value chain: project development, project
construction, property management and asset management. Campus
Crest Development, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability
company, or Campus Crest Development, identifies
markets, selects sites and acquires all entitlements; Campus
Crest Construction, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability
company, or Campus Crest Construction, oversees the
design and construction of each project; The Grove Student
Properties, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company
doing business as Campus Crest Real Estate Management, or
The Grove Student Properties, serves as our
marketing, leasing and property management arm; and Campus Crest
Asset Management, a division of Campus Crest Group, or
Campus Crest Asset Management, oversees our capital
structure, investment underwriting and investor relations. Our
vertically-integrated platform allows us to become familiar with
every facet of our student housing properties. We believe that
the ongoing feedback and accountability
125
facilitated by our vertically-integrated platform allow us to
improve efficiency, reduce costs, control project timing and
enhance the overall quality of our properties.
Target Attractive Markets. Prior to investing in a
market, we conduct extensive due diligence to assess the
markets attractiveness (e.g., demographics and
student population trends), as well as the available supply of
on- and off-campus housing alternatives. We utilize a
proprietary underwriting model with over 60 inputs to evaluate
the relative attractiveness of each potential development
market. While our market strategy considers a variety of
factors, we generally focus on markets where: (i) total
student enrollment exceeds 8,000; (ii) a majority of the
student population resides off-campus; and (iii) sites that
are in close proximity to campus can be purchased or leased at a
reasonable cost. Our due diligence process is designed to
identify markets in which we can operate successfully.
Optimize Our Properties and Brand Value. A key
element of our strategy is to optimize the student lifestyle
experience at our properties and enhance the value and
recognition of our brand, The
Grove®,
through a consistent set of operating principles. We strive to
offer properties that are designed to meet the unique needs of
student-tenants, and to offer a variety of social activities and
other programs that build a sense of community at our
properties. Our property management group continually works with
our RockStar / Community Assistant teams
to design student lifestyle programs involving social, cultural,
outreach, recreational, educational and spiritual activities,
which we refer to as our SCORES program. We believe
that our focus on enhancing student lifestyle and promoting a
sense of community at our properties drives improved occupancy
and allows us to charge premium rents.
Development Growth. We believe that our
vertically-integrated platform generally allows us to generate
more favorable returns by developing new properties versus
acquiring existing properties from third parties. For these
reasons, among others, we anticipate that in-house development
will remain the primary driver of our growth. We expect that,
subject to completion of this offering, we will commence
building seven new student housing properties, four of which are
expected to be wholly-owned by us and three of which are
expected to be owned by a new joint venture with HSRE in which
we expect to own a 20% interest. We are currently targeting
completion of these seven properties for the 2011-2012 academic
year. Additionally, our current business plan contemplates the
development of approximately five to seven new student housing
properties per year from our identified pipeline of
opportunities, including the four
wholly-owned
properties and three joint venture properties discussed above.
No assurance can be given that we will not adjust our business
plan as it relates to development, or that any particular
development opportunity will be undertaken or completed in
accordance with our current expectations. See
Expected 2011 Development Properties.
Acquisition Growth. We may also seek to grow by
selectively acquiring student housing properties from third
parties. Generally, we anticipate that any properties acquired
from third parties would meet our investment criteria for
development properties and fit into our overall strategy in
terms of property quality, proximity to campus, bed-bath parity,
availability of amenities and return on investment. However, we
may also seek to make opportunistic acquisitions of properties
that we believe we can purchase at attractive pricing,
reposition and operate successfully.
History
Campus Crest Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was
formed on March 1, 2010, at the direction of MXT Capital to
continue and expand the student housing business of our
predecessor entities that have been engaged in the student
housing business since 2004. Our
126
operating partnership, Campus Crest Communities Operating
Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on
March 4, 2010.
Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief executive officer, and
Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment
officer are our initial directors, and MXT Capital is our sole
stockholder. Accordingly, MXT Capital and Messrs. Rollins
and Hartnett may be considered our promoters. From 2004 to 2010,
our predecessor entities operated primarily as owners of student
housing and providers of related development, construction and
management services; our predecessor entities developed 27
properties, including three properties that opened in August
2010.
Our
Properties
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions
we will own interests in 27 properties. All of our properties
are less than six years old and more than half of our properties
are less than three years old. No single property accounts for
more than 10% of our total assets or gross revenue as of and for
the six months ended June 30, 2010 or as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2009.
We have focused our investment activities on properties located
in medium-sized college and university markets where we believe
the overall market dynamics are favorable. We believe that 11 of
our properties are the only purpose-built student housing
properties serving the schools from which they draw
student-tenants. All of our properties are modern facilities
with private baths for each bedroom and are largely uniform
throughout the portfolio, with each property having a similar
appearance and amenities package along with The
Grove®
branding. We own and maintain federal trademark registrations on
The
Grove®
and The Grove Fully Loaded College
Living®,
each of which we registered on November 20, 2007. Both
registrations are valid for a term of ten years from the
registration date, provided that between the fifth and sixth
anniversary of the registration date we file affidavits and
evidence of continued use under the Lanham Trademark Act. All of
our properties are operated under the brand The
Grove®.
Our brand provides an identity for our marketing and selling
activities, our operations and other on-site activities. The
brand figures prominently on our web site, promotional materials
and local signage and all of our properties, in general, have
been based upon our common prototypical design.
Amenities at our properties generally include: a resort style
swimming pool, basketball courts, beach volleyball courts, fire
pits and barbeque areas and a large clubhouse featuring a
24-hour
fitness center, library and computer center, tavern style game
room with billiards and other games, tanning beds, coffee shop
and study areas. All of our properties are fully furnished with
ultrasuede upholstered couches and chairs and durable wood case
goods, and have full kitchens as well as washers and dryers.
Each student-tenant at our properties executes an individual
lease agreement with us that is generally guaranteed by a parent
or guardian. Lease terms are generally 11.5 months, which
provides us with approximately two weeks to prepare a unit for a
new tenant if the current tenant is vacating upon the expiration
of the lease. Rent is payable monthly in 12 equal installments.
In addition to unlimited use of all the property amenities
listed above, each tenant is entitled to cable, water/sewer and
a $30 per month electricity allowance. Student-tenants are
prohibited from subletting units without our prior written
consent, which is conditional on, among other things, the
payment of a transfer fee. Student-tenants are responsible for
the outstanding lease obligations in the event that they are
denied admission to, withdraw from or are placed on academic
suspension or dismissed by, the college or university that our
property services.

The University of North Carolina Asheville, or UNCA,
is located in Asheville, North Carolina. As of the 2009 fall
semester, UNCA had an overall enrollment of 3,695 students, with
a full-time undergraduate enrollment of 3,132 students. All
first year UNCA students are required to live on campus, and
UNCA has capacity to house students on campus in several
suite-style options. We do not believe that UNCA has any plans
to renovate any of its existing beds or to develop any
additional beds.
The Asheville, North Carolina student housing market is limited
in scope due to the smaller size of UNCA. The properties we
consider to be our main competitors are conventional
multi-family options that rent by the unit. The Grove at
Asheville is the markets only purpose-built off-campus
student housing community. We are not aware of any existing beds
being renovated or additional beds being developed to serve this
market.

The University of West Georgia, or UWG, is located
in Carrollton, Georgia, approximately 50 miles southwest of
Atlanta, Georgia. As of the 2009 fall semester, UWG had an
overall enrollment of 11,500 students, with a full-time
undergraduate enrollment of 8,126 students. All UWG freshmen are
required to live on campus, and UWG has capacity to house
students on campus in traditional dormitory-style, suite-style,
and apartment-style options. We do not believe that UWG has any
plans to renovate any of its existing beds or develop any
additional beds.
The Carrollton, Georgia student housing market offers several
purpose-built options in addition to traditional multi-family
options that compete with The Grove at Carrollton. We are not
aware of any existing beds being renovated or any additional
beds being developed to serve this market.

The University of South Alabama, or USA, is located
in Mobile, Alabama. As of the 2009 fall semester, USA had an
overall enrollment of 14,522 students, with a full-time
undergraduate enrollment of 8,527 students. USA does not have a
policy requiring students to live on campus. USA has capacity to
house students on campus in suite-style and apartment-style
options. USA has plans to build a 300-bed residence hall
targeted for completion in the summer of 2011.
The Mobile, Alabama student housing market is primarily
comprised of traditional multi-family and single-family options
that compete with The Grove at Mobile.
The Grove at MobilePhase I opened in August of 2007. The
Grove at MobilePhase II opened in August of 2008.
Both properties were built on campus-owned land and operate
under a long-term ground lease with USA. Each phase has a
separate ground lease, and these ground leases are coterminous.
A cross easement agreement allows all student-tenants full
access to amenities in both phases. The physical structure of

Discussion
of Mobile, AL Ground Leases
We currently own two on-campus properties where we hold the land
under ground lease agreements from USA Research and Technology
Corporation, or USART, a related entity of USA, in
Mobile, Alabama. USART leases the land from USA. Under the terms
of these arrangements, our subsidiaries lease the real estate
from USART and fund the development and construction costs
generally with financing that is secured by our leasehold
interest. Legal title to the real estate is owned by USA and
legal title to the leasehold interest and the improvements is
owned by us. We manage both properties in a manner consistent
with all of our other properties.
Phase
I Ground Lease Summary
|
|
|
|
|
Term: The initial term ends October 31, 2046,
with a
20-year
first renewal term and a
15-year
second renewal term.
|
|
|
|
Rent: The annual base rent for the first
five years of the initial term shall be equal to 8.5% of
the appraised fair market value of the land. Beginning with the
sixth year of the initial term and every five years
thereafter until the termination of the lease, the annual base
rent is subject to a Consumer Price Index, or CPI,
increase that is not less than 5% or more than 7.5%. Annual base
rent for the first five years of the first renewal term
shall be equal to 8.5% of the then-appraised fair market value
of the land. Annual base rent during the remainder of the
renewal terms shall be adjusted every five years as
provided above using the CPI for the last month of the initial
term.
|
|
|
|
Property Manager: The manager of this property is
The Grove Student Properties. The management agreement has an
initial
10-year
term, and thereafter is automatically renewed on a
month-to-month
basis with mutual termination rights upon 90 days
notice. Our duties as manager are similar to those as a manager
of our owned properties. The management agreement terminates
upon termination of our ground lease.
|
|
|
|
Transferability: USARTs consent is not
required for us to assign or sublease the premises. Prior to any
assignment or subleasing to a third party other than one of our
affiliates or a current USA student then leasing a portion of
the premises, USART has the right of first opportunity to lease
the premises under the same terms as those offered to the third
party.
|

Subject to completion of this offering, we expect to commence
building three properties, which are expected to be owned by a
new joint venture that we expect to establish with HSRE and in
which we expect to own a 20% interest. Although we have entered
into a non-binding letter of intent with HSRE relating to this
potential joint venture, we have not entered into definitive
documentation, and we do not plan to commence construction of
these three properties until such time as a definitive agreement
is reached with HSRE. We are currently targeting completion of
these three properties for the
2011-2012
academic year. Information with respect to these expected joint
venture developments is included in the following table:

Actual costs may vary significantly
from estimated costs. Under certain circumstances, we expect
that we will be responsible for funding the amount by which
actual development costs for a project pursued by the venture
exceed the budgeted development costs of such project (without
any increase in our interest in the project).

Development activities involve significant risks and
uncertainties, including risks of delays, cost overruns and the
potential expenditure of funds on projects that are not
ultimately completed. Additionally, we expect to develop three
properties through a new joint venture with HSRE, and no
assurance can be given that we will reach a definitive agreement
with HSRE regarding this joint venture or that the terms of any
such agreement will not be materially different from those
currently contemplated. We do not plan to commence construction
of these three properties until such time as a definitive
agreement is reached with HSRE.
For each of our expected 2011 development properties, we have
conducted significant pre-development activities and are in the
process of obtaining the necessary zoning and site plan
approvals, as well as other required permits. Additionally, our
ability to commence construction of these properties will depend
upon obtaining property-specific construction financing or
financing these developments through other means. We have
entered into agreements to acquire or ground lease the land
necessary for the development of these properties, but we do not
expect to close on the agreements until after the closing of
this offering. No assurance can be given that these developments
will be undertaken as currently expected, or, if undertaken,
that they will be
159
completed in accordance with our current expectations, including
those with respect to targeted completion and estimated cost. In
addition, with respect to any properties developed through the
new joint venture that we expect to establish with HSRE, we
expect that we will be responsible for funding the amount by
which actual development costs for a project pursued by the
venture exceed the budgeted development costs of such project
(without any increase in our interest in the project). Moreover,
no assurance can be given that these properties, if completed,
will perform in accordance with our expectations. See Risk

operating student housing properties, and could materially and

Property
Management and Monitoring
We maintain an
on-site
staff at each property, including a General Manager, Sales
Manager and Facilities Manager. The
on-site
staff is responsible for all aspects of the propertys
operations, including marketing, leasing administration,
business administration, financial reporting, ongoing property
maintenance, capital projects and residence life and student
development. In addition, each property typically has nine
student-tenants that live
on-site and
work for us on a part-time basis. These individuals, who we
refer to as Community Assistants or
RockStars, assist in developing lifestyle
programming, among other things. We provide oversight to each
property on an area basis, with each area typically
comprised of six properties. Each area is staffed with an Area
Manager, Area Sales Manager and Area Business Manager. The roles
of our various staff members are described in greater detail
below.
General Managers, Sales Managers and Facilities Managers.
The General Manager is responsible for all facets of a
propertys operation, including the development and
implementation of student lifestyle programs, annual budgeting,
collection of rents, administration of accounts payable,
implementation of the annual marketing plan, administration of
all leasing and marketing functions, coordination of property
maintenance, asset preservation and capital improvement
projects. The General Manager also supervises the residence life
program and conducts all hiring, termination, and staff
development of
on-site
personnel. The Sales Manager supports the General Manager and
focuses on the leasing and lifestyle programs at the property.
The Facilities Manager is responsible for coordinating all
maintenance activity at the property and serving as a liaison
for larger capital projects in concert with our in-house
facilities group.
Community Assistants (CAs or
RockStars). At each of our properties, we also
have a work/live program, typically consisting of nine part-time
positions for student staff members, who we refer to as our CAs
or RockStars. At each property we generally maintain a ratio of
50-70
students per CA/RockStar. Our CAs/RockStars are selected by our
management based upon a set of criteria, including interpersonal
skills, leadership capabilities, responsibility, maturity and
willingness to meet the challenges and expectations of the
position. We use these positions to interface on a peer basis
with our student-tenants and to assist with various duties at
the properties. Further, we use this position as a feeder for
us, which allows us to evaluate these part-time employees for
potential full-time managerial positions with us after they
graduate. It is
160
a position that fits well with many students academic
goals while affording them opportunities for personal growth and
leadership development. The CAs/RockStars perform the duties of
their position in exchange for their room and a stipend.
CAs/RockStars are trained to provide support and assistance to
our student-tenants on a variety of issues. The CAs/RockStars
act as community facilitators by developing an atmosphere that
promotes a sense of belonging, support and affiliation. In
addition, the CAs/RockStars participate actively in developing
and implementing the propertys programs and events in
connection with our SCORES program. At all times, our
CAs/RockStars are expected to be role models and maintain the
highest standards of personal conduct. Through observation and
interaction with the community, the CAs/RockStars help to
identify potential problems and make appropriate referrals so
that students may overcome obstacles to their academic
achievement. Through their efforts to provide timely, accurate
and thorough information in the appropriate format,
CAs/RockStars contribute to the smooth and effective operations
of our properties. We believe that this position is critical to
the success of our properties.
Area Managers, Area Sales Managers, and Area Business
Managers. The Area Manager is responsible for all facets of
the operations of properties in his or her area, typically six
properties per area. He or she monitors the performance of the
properties and the compliance of each of the General Managers
with our programs and policies to preserve operational standards
across all of the properties in his or her area. The Area
Manager is the conduit between centralized planning at our
corporate level and decentralized execution at each of the
properties. Similar to the property-level Sales Manager,
the Area Sales Manager provides support to the leasing and
lifestyle programming at all the properties in his or her area.
As the corporate marketing departments liaison to area and
property operations, the Area Sales Manager monitors the
consistency of The
Grove®
brand across the properties and collaborates with the Area and
General Managers to market each property effectively. The Area
Business Manager is a specialist in accounts receivable who
reports to the Area Manager. He or she administers all charges
and payments on resident accounts, performs daily deposits and
bank statement reconciliations, manages collection efforts for
both current and former residents, and supports the properties
in matters of customer service.
Leasing
and Marketing
Student housing properties are typically leased by the bed on an
individual lease liability basis, unlike multi-family housing
where leasing is by the unit. Individual lease liability limits
each student-tenants liability to his or her own rent
without liability for a roommates rent. A parent or
guardian is required to execute each lease as a guarantor unless
the student-tenant provides adequate proof of income. The number
of lease contracts that we administer is therefore equivalent to
the number of beds occupied rather than the number of units
occupied.
Unlike traditional multi-family housing, most of our leases
commence and terminate on the same dates each year. In the case
of our typical 11.5-month leases, these dates coincide with the
commencement of the universities fall academic term and
typically terminate at the completion of the last subsequent
summer school session. As such, we must re-lease each property
in its entirety each year, resulting in significant turnover in
our tenant population from year to year. As a result, we are
highly dependent upon the effectiveness of our marketing and
leasing efforts during the annual leasing season that typically
begins in January and ends in August of each year.
Each year we implement a marketing and leasing plan to re-lease
each property. We advertise through various media, including
print advertising in newspapers, magazines and trade
161
publications; direct mailers; radio advertising; promotional
events and supporting public relation campaigns. We typically
compete in the off-campus student housing market on the basis of:
|
|
|
|
|
the quality of our facilities, including their proximity to
campus, as well as our properties physical location, the
size and layout of units and the types of amenities offered;
|
|
|
|
rental terms, including price, which varies based on the market
in which the property is located, and per-bed rental (individual
lease liability), which allows individual student-tenants to
avoid responsibility for the rental of an entire apartment unit;
|
|
|
|
community environment, including community facilities, amenities
and programming, which is overseen by our staff of
CAs/RockStars; and
|
|
|
|
our relationships with colleges and universities, which may
result in our properties being recommended or listed in
recruiting and admissions literature provided to incoming and
prospective students.
|
Student
Programming / SCORES Program
We believe that our success has been driven, in part, by our
focus on student lifestyle programming, including our SCORES
program. Our SCORES program is designed to enhance the student
lifestyle by facilitating activities at our properties in the
following areas:
|
|
|
|
|
Social: parties, group events, movie
nights, bonfires, concerts, tavern/game nights, tailgating and
homecoming events;
|
|
|
|
Cultural: attending plays, concerts,
readings, art galleries and open microphone nights;
|
|
|
|
Outreach: blood drives, big
brother/big sister programs, mentoring, food drives/themed
activities;
|
|
|
|
Recreational: intramural sports teams
and volleyball and basketball tournaments;
|
|
|
|
Educational: CPR training, resume
writing workshops, nutrition classes, self-defense training and
job interview rehearsals; and
|
|
|
|
Spiritual: bible studies, sing-alongs,
campus church, guest speakers and reading groups.
|
We believe that our student programming enhances the lifestyle
of our student-tenants and helps to create an environment that
is conducive to academic and social success. We do not approach
our properties as simply a place for students to live, but
rather we seek to assist our student-tenants in building
connections with their fellow student-tenants, their communities
and the colleges and universities that they attend. We believe
that our focus on student lifestyle programming differentiates
us from our competitors and makes our properties more attractive
to prospective student-tenants and their parents.
GO
Team (Grove Outreach)
The Grove Outreach Team, or GO Team, is our service
program that supports the various charitable initiatives that we
implement at our properties and our corporate office. GO Teams
are groups of student-tenants and non-student-tenants that
support charitable work in the communities in which we operate.
We believe that the GO Team creates emotional attachments to our
communities through service while contributing to the areas in
which we operate.
162
Transportation
Arrangements
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will enter into certain transportation arrangements. We will
lease an automobile for each of Messrs. Rollins, Hartnett,
Howell, and Bobbitt and Ms. King, with a cost not to exceed
$12,000 per year per officer. We will also lease two aircraft
from entities in which Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief
executive officer, and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and
chief investment officer, have indirect minority interests. Our
payments under the leases are structured to equal our pro rata
carrying and operating costs of the aircraft based on our actual
usage. As such, it is not expected that the lessors of the
aircraft will receive any material profit from the lease
payments.
We will own interests in 27 student housing properties located
in 11 states. Additionally, our current business plan
contemplates the development of approximately five to seven new
student housing properties per year. Our properties are located
in, and we expect that properties that we develop in the future
likely will be located in, medium-sized college and university
markets, many of which are not easily accessible by commercial
airline service. Our senior officers and management are
frequently required to travel to our properties, development
sites and potential development sites on short notice in
connection with the performance of their obligations to us. We
believe that our leased aircraft provide an efficient and
appropriate means for our management team to monitor our
operating properties and supervise our development activities,
as well as identify and perform diligence on sites for potential
future development.
Competition
and Competitive Advantages
Competition
from Universities and Colleges
We are subject to competition for student-tenants from on-campus
housing owned by universities and colleges. On-campus student
housing has inherent advantages over off-campus student housing
(such as the majority of our properties) in integration with the
academic community, which may cause student-tenants to prefer
on-campus housing to off-campus housing. Additionally, colleges
and universities may have financial advantages that allow them
to provide student housing on more attractive terms than we are
able to. For example, colleges and universities can generally
avoid real estate taxes and borrow funds at lower interest rates
than private, for profit real estate concerns, such as us.
However, residence halls owned and operated by the primary
colleges and universities in the markets in which we operate
typically charge lower rental rates but offer fewer amenities
than those offered at our properties.
Despite the inherent advantages of on-campus housing, most
universities are able to house only a small percentage of their
overall enrollment, and are therefore highly dependent on the
off-campus market to provide housing for their students.
High-quality and well run off-campus student housing can
therefore be a critical component of an institutions
ability to attract and retain students. Accordingly,
universities and colleges often have an interest in encouraging
and facilitating the construction of modern off-campus housing
alternatives.
Competition
from Private Owners
We also compete with other regional and national owner-operators
of off-campus student housing in a number of markets as well as
with smaller local owner-operators. Currently, the industry is
fragmented with no participant holding a dominant market share.
There are a number of student housing properties that are
located near or in the same general vicinity of many of our
properties and that compete directly with our properties. We
believe that a number of other large national companies with
substantial financial and marketing resources may be potential
entrants in the student housing business. The activities of any
of these companies could cause an increase
163
in competition for student-tenants and for the acquisition,
development and management of other student housing properties,
which could reduce the demand for our properties.
University
Relations Advisory Board
We are in the process of forming a university relations advisory
board that we expect will be effective upon completion of this
offering. This board will be charged with facilitating our
communication with the academic community, further developing
our relationships with colleges and universities, and improving
our understanding of the evolving needs and preferences of our
student tenants. The advisory board will be chaired by Mr.
Howell, who will be our president and chief operating officer
upon completion of this offering, and is expected to have at
least three additional members that will be selected from the
faculties and administrations of various universities. We expect
that the advisory board will meet semi-annually to discuss and
evaluate opportunities to enhance our business model and to
better serve our college, university and student constituents.
Members of the advisory board will not be compensated for their
services; however, we will reimburse members who are not
employees of the company for their out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with attending board meetings. We have
identified and confirmed the intended participation of the
following individuals: Jacquelyn Carr McHargue, Dean of
Students, The University of North Carolina at Asheville; Herbert
Reeves, Dean of Student Services, Troy University; and John W.
Smith, Vice President for Student Affairs, University of South
Alabama. While we believe that the advisory board will be a
useful resource in continuing to refine our business model and
student housing product, no assurance can be given that we will
be successful in forming our advisory board or, if formed, that
such advisory board will lead to increased opportunities for us.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage,
terrorism and rental loss insurance covering all of the
properties in our portfolio. Our insurance includes coverage for
earthquake damage to properties located in seismically active
areas, windstorm damage to properties exposed to hurricanes, and
terrorism insurance on all of our properties. In each case, we
believe the coverage limits on applicable deductibles are
commercially reasonable. All insurance policies are subject to
coverage extensions that are typical for our business. We do not
carry insurance for generally uninsured losses such as loss from
riots or acts of God. We believe the policy specifications and
insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss,
the cost of the coverage and industry practice and, in the
opinion of our management, the properties in our portfolio are
adequately insured. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to
the Real Estate IndustryUninsured losses or losses in
excess of insured limits could materially and adversely affect
us.
Regulation
General
Student housing properties are subject to various laws,
ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to
common areas. We believe that each of our operating properties
has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.
Apartment community properties are subject to various laws,
ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to
recreational facilities, such as swimming pools, activity
centers and other common areas.
Americans
With Disabilities Act
Our properties must comply with Title III of the ADA, to
the extent that such properties are public
accommodations as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require
removal of structural
164
barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain
public areas of our properties where such removal is readily
achievable. We believe that our properties are in substantial
compliance with the ADA and that we will not be required to make
substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of
the ADA. However, noncompliance with the ADA could result in
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants.
The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an
ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and
to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
Fair
Housing Act
The FHA, its state law counterparts and the regulations
promulgated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, or HUD, and various state agencies,
prohibit discrimination in housing on the basis of race or
color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status
(including children under the age of 18 living with parents or
legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of
children under 18) or handicap (disability) and, in some
states, on financial capability. A failure to comply with these
laws in our operations could result in litigation, fines,
penalties or other adverse claims, or could result in
limitations or restrictions on our ability to operate, any of
which could have an adverse effect on our cash flows from
operations. We believe that our properties are in substantial
compliance with the Federal Fair Housing Act.
Environmental
Matters
Some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are
adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or
currently contain storage tanks for the storage of petroleum
products or other hazardous or toxic substances. These
operations create a potential for the release of petroleum
products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Third parties
may be permitted by law to seek recovery from owners or
operators for personal injury or property damages arising from
releases from such tanks. Additionally, third parties may be
permitted by law to seek recovery from owners or operators for
personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to
other contaminants that may be present on, at or under the
properties, including, but not limited to, petroleum products
and hazardous or toxic substances. Also, some of the properties
include regulated wetlands on undeveloped portions of such
properties and mitigated wetlands on or near our properties, the
existence of which can delay or impede development or require
costs to be incurred to mitigate the impact of any disturbance.
Absent appropriate permits, we can be held responsible for
restoring wetlands and be required to pay fines and penalties.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building
materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture
problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period
of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants.
Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as
exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects
and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. Some of our
properties may contain microbial matter such as mold and mildew.
The presence of significant mold at any of our properties could
require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain
or remove the mold from the affected property. The presence of
significant mold could expose us to liability from
student-tenants, employees and others if property damage or
health concerns arise.
If any property in our portfolio is not properly connected to a
water or sewer system, or if the integrity of such systems are
breached, microbial matter or other contamination can develop.
If this were to occur, we could incur significant remedial costs
and we may also be subject to private damage claims and awards,
which could be material. If we become subject to claims in this
regard, it could materially and adversely affect us and our
insurability for such matters in the future.
165
Independent environmental consultants conducted Phase I
environmental site assessments on all of our properties. Phase I
environmental site assessments are intended to evaluate
information regarding the environmental condition of the
surveyed property and surrounding properties based generally on
visual observations, interviews and certain publicly available
databases. These assessments do not typically take into account
all environmental issues including, but not limited to, testing
of soil or groundwater, comprehensive asbestos survey or an
invasive inspection for the presence of mold contamination. In
some cases where prior use was a concern, additional study was
undertaken.
These assessments may have failed to reveal all environmental
conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns. Material
environmental conditions, liabilities, or compliance concerns
may have arisen after the assessments were conducted or may
arise in the future. In addition, future laws, ordinances or
regulations may impose material additional environmental
liability. The costs of future environmental compliance may
affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and
such costs or other remedial measures may be material to us.
We cannot assure you that costs of future environmental
compliance will not affect our ability to pay distributions to
our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures
will not be material to us. See Risk FactorsRisks
Related to the Real Estate IndustryThe conditions at some
of our properties may expose us to liability and remediation
costs related to environmental matters, which could materially
and adversely affect us.
Employees
As of August 31, 2010, we had approximately
527 employees, consisting of:
|
|
|
|
|
approximately 466
on-site
employees, including 334 Community Assistants/RockStars (who we
employ on a part-time basis);
|
|
|
|
approximately 15 persons in The Grove Student Properties;
|
|
|
|
two persons in Campus Crest Development;
|
|
|
|
approximately 20 persons in Campus Crest Construction and
its facilities division; and
|
|
|
|
approximately 24 executive, corporate administration and
financial personnel.
|
Our employees are not currently represented by a labor union.
Offices
Our principal executive offices are located at 2100 Rexford
Road, Suite 414, Charlotte, NC 28211. We also have
management offices at each of our properties.
Legal
Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we are subject to claims,
lawsuits and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to
ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, we believe that
the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of
amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a
material adverse effect on our financial position or results of
operations. We are not involved in any material litigation nor,
to our knowledge, is any material litigation currently
threatened against us or our properties or subsidiaries, other
than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business.

Executive
Compensation Program Objectives
The primary objective of our executive compensation program will
be to attract, motivate and retain talented, high-caliber
executives necessary to lead us in achieving business success.
We believe that our executive compensation program will support
these objectives by providing our named executive officers with
a base salary and the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus,
as well as awards under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
Annual
Base Salary
Our named executive officers will receive an annual base salary
based on position-specific responsibilities, taking into account
competitive market compensation for similar positions, the
skills and experience of the individual, internal equity among
executive officers and individual performance. Under the terms
of the employment agreements we will enter into with each of our
named executive officers, we will pay each of
Messrs. Rollins and Hartnett an annual base salary of
$300,000, Mr. Howell an annual base salary of $260,000,
Mr. Bobbitt an annual base salary of $250,000 and
Ms. King an annual base salary of $200,000, subject, in the
case of Messrs. Rollins, Hartnett, Howell and Bobbitt, to
increase in accordance with our normal executive compensation
practices and, in the case of Ms. King, to modification
commensurate with her assigned duties as determined in the
discretion of our chief executive officer, president and chief
operating officer and our board of directors. In particular,
pursuant to employment agreements with Messrs. Rollins,
Hartnett and Howell, we have agreed to increase each such
officers salary to $360,000 per year, effective on
January 1, 2012, and, pursuant to an employment agreement
with Mr. Bobbitt, we have agreed to increase
Mr. Bobbitts salary to $275,000 per year, effective
on January 1, 2012. Upon the expiration of these employment
agreements, we anticipate that our compensation committee will
analyze the base salaries paid to our named executive officers
and provide our board with recommended compensation levels for
these executives.
Annual
Cash Bonus
Annual cash bonuses are designed to incentivize our named
executive officers at a variable level of compensation based on
our and such individuals performance. In connection with
our annual cash bonus program, we expect that our compensation
committee will determine annual performance criteria that are
flexible and that change with the needs of our business. Our
annual cash bonus program will be designed to reward the
achievement of specific financial and operational objectives.
For 2010, each of our named executive officers are eligible for
a cash bonus of between 50% and 100% of their base salary, pro
rated for the period of time from the completion of this
offering through December 31, 2010, with the amount of such
bonus dependent on meeting certain performance-based criteria.
In addition, upon completion of this offering,
Messrs. Bobbitt, Howell and Weissman will each be paid a
cash bonus of $250,000, $150,000 and $150,000, respectively.
Equity
Awards
We will provide equity awards to our named executive officers
pursuant to our 2010 Incentive Award Plan. Time-vested equity
awards are designed to focus and reward our named executive
officers in accordance with our long-term goals and enhance
stockholder value. In determining equity awards, we anticipate
that our compensation committee will take into account our
overall financial performance. In addition, our 2010 Incentive
Award Plan will replace a DCP which was previously used by
Campus Crest Group for executive compensation and which will be
terminated prior to the completion of this offering. Certain of
our named executive officers will be issued shares in
satisfaction of their vested interests in awards under the
terminated DCP. In particular, Mr. Bobbitt and
Ms. King will be issued 8,056 and 7,789 vested shares of
restricted
173
common stock, respectively, one year after the termination of
the DCP in satisfaction of their vested interests in awards that
were outstanding under the DCP.
Upon completion of this offering, Messrs. Howell and
Bobbitt and Ms. King will receive an aggregate of
51,764 shares of restricted common stock (worth
approximately $0.6 million based on the initial public
offering price of $12.50) under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
In addition, upon completion of this offering Mr. Hartnett
will receive 150,000 restricted OP units (worth approximately
$1.9 million based on the initial public offering price of
$12.50) under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan. For further
information on these grants and our 2010 Incentive Award Plan,
see Initial Public Offering Grants of Plan-Based
Awards and 2010 Incentive Award Plan
below.
Benefits
and Perquisites
Each of our named executive officers may participate in the
standard company benefits that we offer to all full-time
employees. These benefits include medical, dental and vision
insurance, life insurance, paid time off and a 401(k) retirement
plan, to which we intend to make matching contributions. Our
senior officers and management may use our leased aircraft for
personal travel, provided that they reimburse us for our
incremental cost associated with their actual usage. In
addition, we will lease an automobile for each of our named
executive officers, with a cost not to exceed $12,000 per year
per officer.
Severance
Under their employment agreements, each of our named executive
officers will be entitled to receive severance payments and
benefits under certain circumstances in the event that his or
her employment is terminated by us without cause or
by the executive for good reason, or in the event of
a change of control of us (each as defined in the
applicable employment agreement). These severance payments and
benefits are designed to protect and compensate our named
executive officers under those circumstances. These
circumstances, payments and benefits are described below under
Employment AgreementsPotential Payments Upon
Termination or Change of Control.

Summary
of Executive Compensation Table
The following table sets forth the compensation expected to be
paid in fiscal year 2010 on an annualized basis to our named
executive officers following the completion of this offering.
Because we were only recently organized and our named executive
officers were not entitled to any compensation from us prior to
the completion of this offering, compensation information for
prior periods is not applicable. As discussed below under
Employment Agreements, we will enter into
employment agreements with each of our named executive officers
upon completion of this offering. Following the completion of
this offering, we will assign certain of the rights and
obligations under the employment agreements with the applicable
named executive officers to our operating partnership, which
will also employ the named executive officers and will pay their
compensation.

Confidentiality
and Noncompetition Agreements
Upon completion of this offering, we will enter into
confidentiality and noncompetition agreements with each of our
named executive officers under which they will agree not to,
directly or indirectly: (i) engage in any business
activities involving the development, construction,
180
acquisition, sale, marketing or management of facilities whose
primary function and purpose is student housing
and/or the
provision of third-party student housing services to providers
of student housing, whether individually or as principal,
partner, officer, director, consultant, contractor, employee,
stockholder or manager of any person, partnership, corporation,
limited liability company or any other entity; or (ii) own
interests in student housing properties that are competitive,
directly or indirectly, with any business carried on by us
(provided, however, each of our named executive officers may,
directly or indirectly, own, solely as an investment, securities
of any competing entity that is publicly traded on a national or
regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market,
provided that such executive officer is not a controlling person
of, or member of a group which controls, such entity and such
executive officer does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or
more of any class of securities of any such entity).
Each of Messrs. Rollins, Hartnett, Howell and Bobbitt will
be bound by the foregoing non-competition covenant for so long
as he is serving in his capacity as a named executive officer
and for a two-year tail period thereafter.
Ms. King will be bound by a similar noncompetition
covenant, but for a 180 day tail period after
the end of her service as an executive vice president and our
chief marketing officer.
In addition, pursuant to these agreements, each of our named
executive officers will agree that, without the prior written
consent of our board of directors, except to the extent required
by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena
from an appropriate government agency, in which event, such
executive will use his best efforts to consult with our board of
directors prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and
except as required in the performance of his duties under his
employment agreement, they shall not disclose any confidential
or proprietary trade secrets, customer lists, drawings, designs,
information regarding product development, marketing plans,
sales plans, manufacturing plans, management organization
information, operating policies or manuals, business plans,
financial records, packaging design or other financial,
commercial, business or technical information either relating to
us or that we may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or
others who do business with us. This confidentiality obligation
shall not apply to any information which is (i) known
publicly, (ii) in the public domain at the time of
execution of the agreements or thereafter enters the public
domain without the breach of the executive officers
confidentiality obligation, (iii) known to the executive
officer prior to the receipt of such information from us or
(iv) disclosed to the executive officer by a third party
not under an obligation of confidence to us after termination of
their employment.
Indemnification
Agreements
Upon completion of this offering, we will enter into
indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers
and directors that will indemnify them to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law. The indemnification agreements will
provide that:
If a director or executive officer is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
proceeding, other than a derivative proceeding by or in the
right of us, by reason of the directors or executive
officers status as a director, officer or employee of us
(or, if applicable, such other enterprise at which such director
or executive officer is or was serving at our request), we must
indemnify the director or executive officer against all
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and
all expenses incurred by the director or executive officer or on
behalf of the director or executive officer, in connection with
such proceeding, unless it is established that:
|
|
|
|
|
the act or omission of the director or executive officer was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was
committed in bad faith or was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty;
|
181
|
|
|
|
|
the director or executive officer actually received an improper
personal benefit in money, property or services; or
|
|
|
|
with respect to any criminal proceeding, the director or
executive officer had reasonable cause to believe that his or
her conduct was unlawful.
|
If a director or executive officer is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
derivative proceeding by or in the right of us to procure a
judgment in our favor by reason of the directors or
executive officers status as a director or executive
officer of us (or, if applicable, such other enterprise at which
such director or executive officer is or was serving at our
request), we must indemnify the director or executive officer
for all amounts paid in settlement and all expenses incurred by
him or her, or on his or her behalf, in connection with such
proceeding, unless it is established that:
|
|
|
|
|
the act or omission of the director or executive officer was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was
committed in bad faith or was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty; or
|
|
|
|
the director or executive officer actually received an improper
personal benefit in money, property or services.
|
Notwithstanding, and without limiting, any other provisions of
the agreements, if a director or executive officer is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of
the directors or executive officers status as a
director, officer or employee of us, and the director or
executive officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as
to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in
such proceeding, we must indemnify the director or executive
officer for all expenses incurred by him or her, or on his or
her behalf, in connection with each successfully resolved claim,
issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate
basis, including any claim, issue or matter in such a proceeding
that is terminated by dismissal, with or without prejudice.
We must pay or reimburse all indemnifiable expenses in advance
of the final disposition of any proceeding if the director or
executive officer furnishes us with a written affirmation of the
directors or executive officers good faith belief
that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by us
has been met and a written undertaking to reimburse us if a
court of competent jurisdiction determines that the director or
executive officer is not entitled to indemnification. We must
pay all indemnifiable expenses to the director or executive
officer within 20 days following the date the director or
executive officer submits such affirmations and evidence of the
expenses to us.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
2010
Incentive Award Plan
Immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, we
intend to adopt the 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
Purpose. The purposes of the 2010 Incentive Award
Plan will be to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom,
in large measure, our sustained progress, growth and
profitability will depend, to motivate the participants to
achieve long-term company goals and to more closely
182
align the participants interests with those of our other
stockholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in
our growth and performance.
Eligibility. The 2010 Incentive Award Plan permits
the grant of incentive awards to our executive officers,
employees, consultants and non-employee directors of us and our
affiliates as determined by the compensation committee. No
employee is eligible under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan for any
award subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
that is a stock right (as such term is defined in
1.409A-1(c)(1)(H) of the Treasury Regulations) if the employee
is eligible to receive a distribution of a stock right from the
DCP subsequent to its termination until the date that is three
years following the date that all necessary action was taken to
irrevocably terminate and liquidate the DCP.
Aggregate Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided
in the 2010 Incentive Award Plan, the aggregate number of shares
of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted
under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan is 2,500,000. Upon
completion of this offering, we will issue an aggregate of
94,988 restricted shares of common stock and
150,000 restricted OP units to our independent
directors, certain named executive officers and certain other
members of our management team, leaving 2,255,012 shares of
common stock available for issuance under the plan.
Additionally, we have reserved an aggregate of 521,238 shares of
restricted common stock under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan for
issuance (i) one year after the termination of the DCP in
satisfaction of vested interests in awards that were outstanding
under the DCP; and (ii) in 2012 and 2013 pursuant to
employment agreements, to our named executive officers and
certain other members of our management team, and, upon their
issuance, we will have 1,733,774 shares of common stock
available for issuance under the plan.
Committed Awards. Mr. Hartnett is to receive
150,000 restricted OP units (worth approximately
$1.9 million based on the initial public offering price of
$12.50) upon completion of this offering. Messrs. Rollins,
Hartnett, Howell and Bobbitt and Ms. King, respectively,
are to receive 198,156, 198,156, 77,776, 55,554, and
15,579 shares of restricted common stock, including shares
to be issued upon completion of this offering, on
January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013 (worth
approximately $2.5 million, $2.5 million,
$1.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, based on the initial public offering price of
$12.50; for awards scheduled to be granted in 2012 and 2013, the
actual trading price of our common stock on the date of each
grant may be higher or lower than the amount used to estimate
these amounts, and the foregoing amounts are not necessarily
indicative of the compensation expense that we will recognize in
connection with such grants). We have also agreed to grant other
members of our management team an aggregate of
37,670 shares of restricted common stock, including shares
to be issued upon completion of this offering, on
January 1, 2012 and in satisfaction of vested awards under
the terminated DCP (worth approximately $0.5 million based
on the initial public offering price of $12.50). Finally, we
will grant to our independent directors an aggregate of 33,335
shares of restricted common stock upon completion of this
offering (worth approximately $0.4 million based on the
initial public offering price of $12.50; for awards scheduled to
be granted in 2012 and 2013, the actual trading price of our
common stock on the date of each grant may be higher or lower
than the amount used to estimate these amounts, and the
foregoing amounts are not necessarily indicative of the
compensation expense that we will recognize in connection with
such grants). For further information on the number of
restricted shares of common stock granted and the vesting of
these shares, see Executive
CompensationInitial Public Offering Grants of Plan-Based
Awards and Employment Agreements above.
Administration. The 2010 Incentive Award Plan will
be administered by our compensation committee, which will
interpret the plan and have broad discretion to select the
eligible persons
183
to whom awards will be granted, as well as the type, size and
terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise price
of stock options, the number of shares subject to awards and the
expiration date of, and the vesting schedule or other
restrictions applicable to, awards. The compensation committee
may establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it
may deem advisable to administer the 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
The board of directors may at any time administer the 2010
Incentive Award Plan. If it does so, it will have all the powers
of the compensation committee.
Permissible Awards. The 2010 Incentive Award Plan
allows us to grant the following types of awards:
|
|
|
|
|
options to purchase shares of common stock (non-qualified and
incentive stock options);
|
|
|
|
SARs;
|
|
|
|
restricted stock and restricted stock units;
|
|
|
|
performance shares;
|
|
|
|
performance units;
|
|
|
|
dividend equivalents;
|
|
|
|
restricted OP units; and
|
|
|
|
other stock-based awards.
|
Minimum Vesting Requirements. Any award of stock
(other than an option) granted under the 2010 Incentive Award
Plan unrelated to the DCP will either (i) be subject to a
minimum vesting period of three years (which may include
graduated vesting within such three-year period), or one year if
the vesting is based on performance criteria other than
continued service, or (ii) be granted solely in exchange
for foregone cash compensation.
Stock Options. The compensation committee is
authorized to grant incentive stock options or non-qualified
stock options under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan. The terms of
an incentive stock option must meet the requirements of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise
price of an option may not be less than the fair market value of
the underlying stock on the date of grant and no option may have
a term of more than 10 years.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The compensation
committee may also grant SARs. These provide the holder the
right to receive the excess, if any, of the fair market value of
one share of common stock on the date of exercise, over the base
price of the SAR as determined by the compensation committee,
which will not be less than the fair market value of one share
of common stock on the grant date. SARs may be payable in cash
or shares of common stock or a combination thereof. No SAR may
be exercised more than 10 years from the grant date.
Restricted Stock Awards. The compensation committee
may make awards of restricted stock to participants, which will
be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions as the compensation committee may impose
(including, without limitation, limitations on the right to vote
restricted stock or the right to receive dividends, if any, on
the restricted stock).
Restricted Stock Units. The compensation committee
may make awards of restricted stock units to non-employee
directors, which will be subject to such restrictions on
transferability and other restrictions as the compensation
committee may impose. Upon lapse of such restrictions, shares of
common stock or cash may be issued to the participant in
settlement of the restricted stock units.
184
Performance Awards. The compensation committee may
grant performance awards that are designated in cash
(performance units) or in shares of common stock (performance
shares). The compensation committee will have the complete
discretion to determine the number of performance awards granted
to any participant and to set performance goals and other terms
or conditions to payment of the performance awards in its
discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met,
will determine the number and value of performance awards that
will be paid to the participant.
Dividend Equivalents. The compensation committee is
authorized to grant dividend equivalents to participants subject
to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the
compensation committee. Dividend equivalents entitle the
participant to receive payments equal to dividends with respect
to all or a portion of the shares of common stock subject to an
award, as determined by the compensation committee.
Restricted OP Units. The compensation committee
may grant awards of restricted units in our operating
partnership to participants, which will be subject to such
restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the
compensation committee may impose (including, without
limitation, limitations on the right to vote restricted units or
the right to receive dividends, if any, on the restricted
units). Upon lapse of such restrictions, such units are
convertible into shares of common stock.
Other Stock-Based Awards. The compensation committee
may, subject to limitations under applicable law, grant to
participants such other awards that are payable in, valued in
whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or
related to shares of common stock as deemed by the compensation
committee to be consistent with the purposes of the 2010
Incentive Award Plan, including, without limitation, shares of
common stock awarded purely as a bonus and not subject to any
restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debt
securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into shares
of common stock, and awards valued by reference to book value of
shares of common stock or the value of securities of or the
performance of specified parents or subsidiaries. The
compensation committee will determine the terms and conditions
of any such awards, subject to the minimum vesting requirements
discussed above.
Performance Goals. Options and SARs granted under
the 2010 Incentive Award Plan will automatically qualify as
performance-based awards that are fully deductible by us without
regard to the $1 million deduction limit imposed by
§ 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
compensation committee may designate any other award under the
2010 Incentive Award Plan (such as, for example, a cash
incentive bonus or restricted stock award) as a qualified
performance-based award in order to make the award fully
deductible under Internal Revenue Code § 162(m). If an
award is so designated, the compensation committee must
establish objectively determinable performance goals for the
award based on one or more performance criteria, which may be
expressed in terms of company-wide objectives or in terms of
objectives that relate to the performance of a division,
affiliate, region, department or function within us or an
affiliate. Performance criteria may be specified in absolute
terms, in percentages, or in terms of growth from period to
period or growth rates over time, as well as measured relative
to an established or specially created index of company
competitors or peers. Performance criteria for qualified
performance-based awards will be limited to specified levels or
increases in:
|
|
|
|
|
earnings per share or other corporate measure;
|
|
|
|
profit (net profit, gross profit, operating profit, economic
profit or other profit measures);
|
|
|
|
net income;
|
185
|
|
|
|
|
revenue;
|
|
|
|
stock price or performance;
|
|
|
|
total stockholder return;
|
|
|
|
return measures (return on assets, capital, equity or revenue);
|
|
|
|
FFO;
|
|
|
|
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization);
|
|
|
|
market share;
|
|
|
|
expenses;
|
|
|
|
business expansions or consolidation;
|
|
|
|
internal rate of return; and
|
|
|
|
planning accuracy.
|
For a qualified performance-based award, the compensation
committee must establish such goals prior to the beginning of
the period for which such performance goal relates (or such
later date as may be permitted under applicable tax regulations)
and the compensation committee may not increase any award or,
except in the case of certain qualified terminations of
employment, waive the achievement of any specified goal. Any
payment of an award granted with performance goals will be
conditioned on the written certification of the compensation
committee in each case that the performance goals and any other
material conditions were satisfied.
Limitations on Transfer; Beneficiaries. No award
will be assignable or transferable by a participant other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, except in
the case of an incentive stock option, pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; provided, however, that the
compensation committee may (but need not) permit other transfers
where the compensation committee concludes that such
transferability does not result in accelerated taxation, does
not cause any option intended to be an incentive stock option to
fail to qualify as such, and is otherwise appropriate and
desirable. No award may be transferred for value. A participant
may, in the manner determined by the compensation committee,
designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the
participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any
award upon the participants death.
Acceleration Upon Certain Events. Unless otherwise
provided in an award agreement, if a participant is terminated
without cause (as such terms are defined in the 2010
Incentive Award Plan) within 24 months after a change in
control of us (as defined in the 2010 Incentive Award Plan), all
of such participants outstanding options and SARs will
become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on his
or her outstanding restricted stock awards will lapse. In each
of the above cases except retirement, the compensation committee
also may (but need not) waive the achievement of performance
goals under the participants Internal Revenue Code
§ 162(m) performance-based awards. The compensation
committee may accelerate awards for any other reason. The
compensation committee may discriminate among participants or
among awards in exercising such discretion.
186
Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided
in an award agreement, all awards that are unvested, vested and
unexercised shall automatically be forfeited if a
participants employment is terminated for
cause as defined in the 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
An option or SAR that is not vested on the date of a
participants termination of employment shall lapse. For
options and SARs that are vested at termination of employment,
the period for exercising the option or SAR shall end
90 days after termination of employment other than by
reason of death, disability or retirement at or after
age 65. If a participant terminates employment on account
of disability, the exercise period shall end one year after
termination of employment. If a participant terminates
employment on account of death or dies during the applicable
ninety-day
or one-year period described above, the exercise period shall
end one year after the date of the participants death. If
a participant terminates employment by reason of retirement on
or after age 65, the exercise period shall be the original
term of the option or SAR.
In the case of restricted stock and restricted stock units as to
which the restrictions have not lapsed or any performance shares
or performance units that have not been fully earned, the awards
will be forfeited unless the compensation committee otherwise
determines upon termination of employment other than on account
of death, disability or retirement on or after age 65. Such
awards shall become immediately vested and earned as of a
participants termination of employment on account of death
or disability. For terminations on account of retirement at or
after age 65, any such awards shall become vested and
earned in proportion to the period of time from grant date to
retirement to the total period in the original term of the award.
Adjustments. In the event of a stock-split, a stock
dividend, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding
common stock into a lesser number of shares, the authorization
limits under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan will automatically be
adjusted proportionately, and the shares then subject to each
award will automatically be adjusted proportionately without any
change in the aggregate purchase price. In the event the common
stock will be changed into or exchanged for a different number
or class of shares of our stock or securities or of another
corporation, the authorization limits under the 2010 Incentive
Award Plan will automatically be adjusted proportionately, and
there will be substituted for each such share of common stock,
the number or class of shares into which each outstanding share
of common stock will be so exchanged, all without any change in
the aggregate purchase price.
Termination and Amendment. The board of directors or
the compensation committee may, at any time and from time to
time, terminate or amend the 2010 Incentive Award Plan without
stockholder approval; but if an amendment to the 2010 Incentive
Award Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the board or the
compensation committee, materially increase the benefits
accruing to participants, materially increase the number of
shares of stock issuable under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan,
expand the types of awards, materially modify the requirements
for eligibility, materially expand the term of the 2010
Incentive Award Plan, or otherwise constitute a material
amendment requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws,
policies or regulations, then such amendment will be subject to
stockholder approval. In addition, the board or the compensation
committee may condition any amendment on the approval of the
stockholders for any other reason, including necessity or
advisability under tax, securities or other applicable laws,
policies or regulations. No termination or amendment of the 2010
Incentive Award Plan may adversely affect any award previously
granted under the 2010 Incentive Award Plan without the written
consent of the participant. The compensation committee may amend
or terminate outstanding awards. However, such amendments may
require the consent of the participant and, unless approved by
the stockholders or otherwise permitted by the antidilution
provisions of the 2010 Incentive Award Plan, the exercise price
of an outstanding option may not be reduced, directly or
indirectly, and the original term of an option may not be
extended.
187
Certain
Federal Tax Effects.
Nonqualified Stock Options. There will be no
federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to us upon
the grant of a nonqualified stock option under the 2010
Incentive Award Plan. When the optionee exercises a nonqualified
option, however, he or she will recognize ordinary income in an
amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
common stock received upon exercise of the option at the time of
exercise over the exercise price, and we will be allowed a
corresponding deduction. Any gain that the optionee realizes
when he or she later sells or disposes of the option shares will
be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on how long
the shares were held.
Incentive Stock Options. There typically will
be no federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to us
upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the
optionee holds the option shares for the required holding period
of at least two years after the date the option was granted or
one year after exercise, the difference between the exercise
price and the amount realized upon sale or disposition of the
option shares will be long-term capital gain or loss, and we
will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction. If the
optionee disposes of the option shares in a sale, exchange, or
other disqualifying disposition before the required holding
period ends, he or she will recognize taxable ordinary income in
an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price,
and we will be allowed a federal income tax deduction equal to
such amount. While the exercise of an incentive stock option
does not result in current taxable income, the excess of the
fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise
over the exercise price will be an item of adjustment for
purposes of determining the optionees alternative minimum
taxable income.
Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant
receiving a SAR will not recognize income, and we will not be
allowed a tax deduction, at the time the award is granted. When
the participant exercises the SAR, the amount of cash and the
fair market value of any shares of common stock received will be
ordinary income to the participant and we will be allowed as a
corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject
to any applicable limitations under Internal Revenue Code
§ 162(m).
Restricted Stock. Unless a participant makes
an election to accelerate recognition of the income to the date
of grant as described below, the participant will not recognize
income, and we will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time
a restricted stock award is granted. When the restrictions
lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to
the fair market value of the common stock as of that date (less
any amount he or she paid for the stock), and we will be allowed
a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time,
subject to any applicable limitations under Internal Revenue
Code § 162(m). If the participant files an election
under Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) within
30 days after the date of grant of the restricted stock, he
or she will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant
equal to the fair market value of the stock as of that date
(less any amount paid for the stock), and we will be allowed a
corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject
to any applicable limitations under Internal Revenue Code
§ 162(m). Any future appreciation in the stock will be
taxable to the participant at capital gains rates. However, if
the stock is later forfeited, the participant will not be able
to recover the tax previously paid pursuant to the Internal
Revenue Code § 83(b) election.
Restricted Stock Units. The recipient will
not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax
deduction, at the time a restricted stock unit award is granted.
Upon issuance of shares of common stock in settlement of a
restricted stock unit award, the recipient will recognize
ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the common
stock as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the
stock), and we will be allowed a corresponding federal income
tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable
limitations under Internal Revenue Code § 162(m).
188
Restricted OP Units. Unless a
participant makes an election to accelerate recognition of the
income to the date of grant as described below, the participant
will not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax
deduction, at the time a restricted OP unit award is granted.
When the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize
ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the unit
(generally, the value of the common stock into which the unit
could be converted into as of that date, and we will be allowed
a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time,
subject to any applicable limitations under Internal Revenue
Code § 162(m). If the participant files an election
under Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) within
30 days after the date of grant of the restricted OP unit,
he or she will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant
equal to the fair market value of the units as of that date, and
we will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction
at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under
Internal Revenue Code § 162(m). Any future
appreciation in the value of a unit for which such an election
is made will be taxable to the participant at capital gains
rates. However, if the units are later forfeited, the
participant will not be able to recover the tax previously paid
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code § 83(b) election.
Performance Awards. A participant generally
will not recognize income, and we will not be allowed a tax
deduction, at the time performance awards are granted, so long
as the awards are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
When the participant receives or has the right to receive
payment of cash or shares under the performance award, the cash
amount of the fair market value of the shares of stock will be
ordinary income to the participant, and we will be allowed a
corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject
to any applicable limitations under Internal Revenue Code
§ 162(m).

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Contribution
Agreement with MXT Capital
We and MXT Capital have entered into a contribution agreement
pursuant to which our operating partnership will pay to MXT
Capital approximately $3.3 million (which will immediately
be used to make capital contributions to certain entities, which
will in turn immediately use such capital contributions solely
to repay indebtedness) and will issue to MXT Capital
232,593 OP units in exchange for MXT Capitals
contribution to our operating partnership of the interests owned
by MXT Capital in the predecessor entities and its student
housing business.
Other
Formation Transactions with MXT Capital
Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital its interests
in two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million, on
which we have decided not to build student housing properties.
MXT Capital has agreed not to build student housing properties
on these parcels in the future.
In addition, Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital
its interest in an entity that will own a minority interest in a
1999 Pilatus
PC-12
single-engine turboprop airplane. Upon completion of this
offering, we will lease this aircraft on payment terms
structured to equal our pro rata carrying and operating costs of
the aircraft based on our actual usage.
Contribution
Agreement with the Ricker Group
We and Carl H. Ricker, Jr. have entered into a contribution
agreement pursuant to which we will pay the Ricker Group
approximately $17.4 million of the net proceeds from this
offering in exchange for the Ricker Groups contribution to
our operating partnership of the interests owned by the Ricker
Group in the predecessor entities and in the entities that have
entered into ground leases with us relating to eight properties.
Leased
Aircraft
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will lease two aircraft from entities in which Ted W.
Rollins, our
co-chairman
and chief executive officer, and Michael S. Hartnett, our
co-chairman
and chief investment officer, have indirect minority interests.
A company in which Carl H. Ricker, Jr. has an interest owns a
majority interest in one of the lessors. Our payments under the
leases are structured to equal our pro rata carrying and
operating costs of the aircraft based on our actual usage. As
such, it is not expected that the lessors of the aircraft will
receive any material profit from the lease payments.
Repayment
of Indebtedness
Approximately $6.0 million of the net proceeds from this
offering will be used to repay indebtedness owed by us to RHR,
LLC, an entity owned by MXT Capital and the Ricker Group. RHR,
LLC will, in turn, immediately repay an equal amount of
indebtedness owed by it to an unaffiliated third party on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the loan from
RHR, LLC to us. In addition, approximately $4 million of
the net proceeds from this offering will be used to repay our
indebtedness to Capital Bank, an entity in which the Ricker
Group has an ownership interest and of which Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. is a director.
191
Release
of Personal Guarantees
Each of Ted W. Rollins, Michael S. Hartnett and Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to mortgage and construction
indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$243.3 million in the case of each of Messrs. Rollins
and Hartnett and approximately $205.9 million in the case
of Mr. Ricker, and from personal guarantees with respect to
the RHR, LLC and Capital Bank indebtedness and the MXT Capital
indebtedness described above. Each of Messrs. Rollins and
Hartnett will be released from certain personal guarantees with
respect to the preferred membership interest in CC-Encore.
Tax
Protection Agreement
MXT Capital will enter into a tax protection agreement with us.
Pursuant to the tax protection agreement, we will agree to
maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of $56.0 million
throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period in order to allow a sufficient amount of debt
to be allocable to MXT Capital to avoid certain adverse tax
consequences. If we fail to maintain such minimum indebtedness
throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period, we will be required to make indemnifying
payments to MXT Capital, in an amount equal to the federal,
state and local taxes, if any, imposed on its members as a
result of any income or gain recognized by them by reason of
such failure. The amount of such taxes will be computed based on
the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal tax
rates, as well as any grossed up taxes imposed on
such payments. This requirement may restrict our ability to
reduce leverage when we otherwise might wish to do so and
generally reduce our flexibility in managing our capital
structure. The tax protection agreement will not require us to
make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital by reason of any
built-in gain allocated to its members upon the disposition of
any of our properties.
Registration
Rights Agreement
We will enter into a registration rights agreement with MXT
Capital pursuant to which we will agree, among other things, to
register the resale of any common stock that may be exchanged
for the OP units issued in our formation transactions. This
agreement requires us to seek to register all common stock that
may be exchanged for OP units effective as of that date which is
12 months following completion of this offering on a shelf
registration statement under the Securities Act. We will also
grant the holders of OP units the right to include such common
stock in any registration statements we may file in connection
with any future public offerings, subject to the terms of the
lock-up agreements described herein and subject to the right of
the underwriters of those offerings to reduce the total number
of such shares of common stock to be sold by selling
shareholders in those offerings.
In connection with this offering, we intend to file a
registration statement on
Form S-8
to register the total number of shares of common stock that may
be issued under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan.
Initial
Public Offering Bonus Payments
Upon completion of this offering we have agreed to pay to Donald
L. Bobbitt, Jr., an executive vice president and our chief
financial officer, Earl C. Howell, our president and chief
operating officer, and Howard J. Weissman, a senior vice
president and our corporate controller, cash bonuses of
$250,000, $150,000 and $150,000, respectively.
192
Employment
Agreements
We will enter into employment agreements with our named
executive officers as described in
ManagementEmployment Agreements that will
become effective upon completion of this offering. These
agreements provide for salary, bonuses and other benefits,
including, potentially, severance benefits upon a termination of
employment, as well as for grants of shares of restricted stock
and cash bonuses. For a full summary of these agreements, see
ManagementEmployment Agreements.
Director
Compensation
We will pay a $10,000 annual directors fee to each of our
independent directors in cash. Each independent director will
also receive a fee of $2,500 for attendance at every in-person
meeting of our board of directors and committee of our board of
directors and a fee of $1,000 for attendance at every telephonic
meeting of our board of directors and committee of our board of
directors, up to a maximum of $15,000 per year. We will also pay
additional annual fees to the chairs of our audit committee,
compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance
committee. In addition, we will grant 6,667 shares of
restricted common stock to each of our independent directors
which will vest ratably over five years on each anniversary of
the date of the grant. For a full summary of the compensation
payable to our directors, see ManagementDirector
Compensation.
Indemnification
Our charter and our bylaws obligate us to indemnify each of our
officers and directors who are made or threatened to be made a
party to any proceeding by reason of his or her service in that
capacity, and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses
in advance of the final disposition of such a proceeding, to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Our charter and bylaws
also permit us to provide such indemnification and advancement
of expenses to individuals who served our predecessor entities
as an officer or director, as well as the right to provide
indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee or
agent of such entities or us. In addition, the partnership
agreement includes provisions providing for the indemnification
of us as the general partner, and our directors, officers,
employees and agents in connection with such proceedings.
Finally, we intend to enter into agreements with our directors
and executive officers providing for indemnification and
advancement or reimbursement of the expenses of such directors
and officers, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law,
in connection with such proceedings.
Grants of
Awards Under Our 2010 Incentive Award Plan
Under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan the aggregate number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to
equity-based awards is 2,500,000, which represents approximately
8.7% of our issued and outstanding common stock (on a
fully-diluted basis and excluding shares to be sold pursuant to
the exercise in full of the underwriters overallotment
option).
We intend to grant an aggregate of 94,988 restricted shares
of common stock to our independent directors, certain of our
executive officers and certain members of our management team
and 150,000 restricted OP units to Mr. Hartnett, under
our 2010 Incentive Award Plan, representing approximately 0.9%
of our issued and outstanding common stock (on a fully-diluted
basis after giving effect to the shares issued in this offering
but excluding any shares to be sold pursuant to the
underwriters exercise of their overallotment option).
Additionally, we have reserved an aggregate of
521,238 shares of restricted common stock under the 2010
Incentive Award Plan for issuance (i) one year after the
termination of the DCP in satisfaction of vested interests in
awards that were outstanding under the DCP; and (ii) in
2012 and 2013 pursuant to employment
193
agreements, to our named executive officers and certain other
members of our management team. For information regarding these
grants and their vesting terms, see
ManagementExecutive Compensation.
Distributions payable on these awards will accrue and be paid to
the holder upon the vesting of such awards.
Review
and Approval of Future Transaction with Related
Persons
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will adopt a written policy for the review and approval of
related person transactions requiring disclosure under
Rule 404(a) of
Regulation S-K.
We expect this policy to provide that the nominating and
corporate governance committee will be responsible for reviewing
and approving or disapproving all interested transactions,
meaning any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which
(i) the amount involved may be expected to exceed $120,000
in any fiscal year, (ii) we will be a participant and
(iii) a related person has a direct or indirect material
interest. A related person will be defined as an executive
officer, director or nominee for election as director, or a
greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or an
immediate family member of the foregoing. The policy may deem
certain interested transactions to be pre-approved.
194
STRUCTURE
AND FORMATION
Our
Organizational Structure
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on March 1, 2010.
We are a self-managed, self-administered and
vertically-integrated developer, builder, owner and manager of
high-quality, purpose-built student housing. Our operating
partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on
March 4, 2010. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Campus
Crest Communities GP, LLC, we are the sole general partner of
our operating partnership, and we will conduct substantially all
of our business through our operating partnership. Upon
completion of this offering and our formation transactions, we
will own a 98.5% limited partnership interest in our operating
partnership. MXT Capital, which is wholly-owned and controlled
by Ted W. Rollins, our co-chairman and chief executive officer,
and Michael S. Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment
officer, and certain members of their families, will own a 0.8%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership.
Mr. Hartnett, in addition to his indirect ownership
interest in our operating partnership through his ownership
interest in MXT Capital, will own a 0.5% interest in our
operating partnership. Certain third-party investors, who owned
interests in our predecessor entities prior to the consummation
of our formation transactions, will in the aggregate own a 0.2%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership.
The
Operating Partnership
Upon completion of this offering and our formation transactions,
we will own substantially all of our wholly-owned properties and
conduct substantially all of our operations through our
operating partnership. We will contribute the net proceeds from
this offering to our operating partnership in exchange for OP
units therein. Our interest in our operating partnership will
entitle us to share in cash distributions from, and in the
profits and losses of, our operating partnership in proportion
to our percentage ownership. Because the sole general partner of
our operating partnership is our wholly-owned subsidiary, we
will generally have the exclusive power to manage and conduct
the business of the operating partnership, subject to certain
limited approval and voting rights of the other limited partners
described more fully below in Our Operating Partnership
and the Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, our board of
directors will manage our affairs by directing the affairs of
our operating partnership.
The
Services Companies
In order to qualify as a REIT, a specified percentage of our
gross income must be derived from real property sources, which
would generally exclude our income from providing development,
construction and management services to third parties as well as
our income from certain services afforded student-tenants in our
owned properties. See Federal Income Tax
ConsiderationsTaxation of Our Company. Therefore, we
will conduct our development, construction and management
services through The Grove Student Properties, Inc., Campus
Crest Construction, Inc. and Campus Crest Development, Inc.,
respectively, which we refer to collectively as the
Services Companies and each individually as a
Services Company. Each of the Services Companies
will elect, together with us, to be treated as our TRS. Each of
our Services Companies will be wholly-owned and controlled by
our operating partnership. The income earned by each Services
Company will be subject to regular federal corporate income or
franchise tax and state and local income tax where applicable
and will therefore be subject to an additional level of tax as
compared to the income earned from our properties.
195
Formation
Transactions
Prior to our formation transactions, all of the interests in our
properties were owned by Campus Crest Group and third-party
investors, including the Ricker Group and HSRE. The formation
transactions will result in the contribution by MXT Capital, the
Ricker Group and certain third-party investors to our operating
partnership of the limited liability company and limited
partnership interests in the entities that make up the business,
interests and related properties of our predecessor entities.
The amount of cash and OP units that we will pay, or issue,
in exchange for the interests in our predecessor entities was
determined by our executive officers based on a capitalization
rate analysis, an internal rate of return analysis, an
assessment of the fair market value of the properties and the
consideration of other factors, such as per bed value and the
liquidation preference with respect to certain interests. No
single factor was given greater weight than any other in valuing
the properties, and the values attributed to the properties do
not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value for the
applicable property. We did not obtain any recent third-party
property appraisals of the properties to be contributed to us in
our formation transactions, or any other independent third-party
valuations or fairness opinions in connection with our formation
transactions. As a result, the consideration we pay for these
properties and other assets in our formation transactions may
exceed their fair market value.
Immediately upon completion of this offering, we will engage in
the following formation transactions, which are designed to:
|
|
|
|
|
consolidate the ownership of our properties and the student
housing business of Campus Crest Group into our operating
partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries;
|
|
|
|
complete the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our
mortgage loan with Silverton Bank that is currently secured by
six of our properties (as described in this prospectus, we will
repay, in aggregate, approximately $287.1 million of
indebtedness with the (i) net proceeds from this offering
and (ii) $45.2 million borrowed under our revolving
credit facility);
|
|
|
|
facilitate this offering; and
|
|
|
|
enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes
commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010.
|
Set forth below is an overview of our formation transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the terms of a contribution agreement, MXT Capital
will contribute to our operating partnership its entire student
housing business, which is principally comprised of The Grove
Student Properties, Campus Crest Development and Campus Crest
Construction, and all of its ownership interests in each of our
21 wholly-owned properties and each of our six joint venture
properties. In exchange, MXT Capital will receive approximately
$3.3 million (which will immediately be used to make
capital contributions to certain entities, which will in turn,
immediately use such capital contributions solely to repay
indebtedness) and 232,593 OP units, representing a 0.8%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership.
|
In its contribution agreement, MXT Capital provides us with
certain real estate, ownership and operational representations,
warranties and covenants. These representations and warranties
relate to, among other things, ownership of the assets to be
contributed to us,
196
|
|
|
|
|
MXT Capitals authority to enter into the contribution
agreement, the absence of litigation relating to the interests
to be contributed, the existence of required permits and
consents, tax matters and real estate matters. MXT Capital
has also covenanted not to sell any of the assets to be
contributed pursuant to the contribution agreement, or permit
entities through which it holds the assets to be contributed to
engage in material transactions not in the ordinary course of
business (in each case, other than pursuant to the contribution
agreement) or to permit any such entity to make any
distributions or pay any dividends.
|
MXT Capital will indemnify us with respect to losses resulting
from breaches of its representations, warranties and covenants
and for any real estate transfer or mortgage recording tax
liabilities that we may incur. These indemnification obligations
generally are subject to a $250,000 deductible and capped at an
amount equal to the aggregate equity consideration received by
MXT Capital pursuant to the contribution agreement (other than
the tax liability indemnity, which is not subject to either the
deductible or the cap) and are generally limited to claims
brought within 18 months from the completion of this
offering (with certain claims surviving indefinitely).
|
|
|
|
|
Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital its interests
in two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million, on
which we have decided not to build student housing properties.
MXT Capital has agreed not to build student housing properties
on these parcels in the future. Campus Crest Group will not
receive any consideration from this transaction other than the
release of the indebtedness associated with the two parcels and
MXT Capitals agreement regarding the use of the parcels in
the future.
|
|
|
|
Campus Crest Group will distribute to MXT Capital its interest
in an entity that will own a minority interest in a 1999 Pilatus
PC-12 single-engine turboprop airplane. Upon completion of this
offering, we will lease this aircraft on payment terms
structured to equal our pro rata carrying and operating costs of
the aircraft based on our actual usage.
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the terms of a contribution agreement, the Ricker
Group will contribute to our operating partnership all of its
ownership interests in each of our 21 wholly-owned properties,
as well as all of its ownership interests in The Grove at Moscow
and The Grove at San Angelo. In addition, it will contribute its
entire ownership interest in the entities that own fee interests
in The Grove at Murfreesboro, The Grove at Stephenville, The
Grove at Cheney, The Grove at Troy, The Grove at Waco, The Grove
at Jonesboro, The Grove at Wichita and The Grove at Wichita
Falls, all of which were subject to ground leases with the
Ricker Group prior to the completion of our formation
transactions. In exchange, the Ricker Group will receive
approximately $17.4 million.
|
|
|
|
In its contribution agreement, the Ricker Group provides us with
certain ownership and limited real estate and operational
representations, warranties and covenants. These representations
and warranties relate to, among other things, ownership of the
interests to be contributed to us, the Ricker Groups
authority to enter into the contribution agreement, the absence
of litigation relating to the interests to be contributed, the
existence of required permits and consents, tax matters and real
estate matters. The Ricker Group has also covenanted not to sell
any of the interests to be contributed pursuant to the
contribution agreement, or permit entities through which it
holds the interests to be contributed to engage in material
transactions not in the ordinary course of business (in each
case, other than pursuant to the contribution agreement) or to
permit any such entity to make any distributions or pay any
dividends. The Ricker Group will indemnify us with respect to
losses resulting from breaches of its representations,
warranties and covenants.
|
197
|
|
|
|
|
These indemnification obligations generally are subject to a
$250,000 deductible and capped at an amount equal to the
aggregate consideration received by the Ricker Group pursuant to
the contribution agreement with respect to certain ownership
matters and $7.5 million with respect to all other matters
and are generally limited to claims brought within
18 months from the completion of this offering (with
certain claims surviving indefinitely).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to the terms of contribution agreements and purchase
and sale agreements, certain third-party investors will
contribute to our operating partnership all of their ownership
interests in The Grove at Abilene, The Grove at Asheville, The
Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at Cheney, The Grove at
Ellensburg, The Grove at Greeley, The Grove at Jacksonville, The
Grove at Jonesboro, The Grove at Lubbock, The Grove at Las
Cruces, The Grove at Mobile-Phase I, The Grove at Mobile-Phase
II, The Grove at Nacogdoches and The Grove at Wichita. In
exchange, these third-party investors will receive approximately
$10.7 million and 53,000 OP units, representing a 0.2%
limited partnership interest in our operating partnership. Under
the terms of these agreements, these third-party investors will
also provide us with certain limited representations and
warranties with respect to their ownership interests being
contributed to our operating partnership, including the
authority to enter into the agreement, the absence of claims or
litigation involving the contributed interest and the obtaining
of any necessary consents to the contribution of the interests.
The third-party investors also provide covenants under the
agreements, including not to transfer or dispose of any of the
interests to be contributed, and will indemnify us for any
losses resulting from breaches of their representations,
warranties and covenants.

|
|
In exchange for approximately $24.0 million, HSRE will sell
to our operating partnership: (i) all of its interests in each
of The Grove at Milledgeville, The Grove at San Marcos and
The Grove at Carrollton, with the result that we will own a 100%
interest in each of these properties and (ii) a 49.8% interest
in a joint venture that will own 100% of each of The Grove at
Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The
Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo and The Grove at
Statesboro, with the result that we will own a 49.9% interest in
these properties and HSRE will own a 50.1% interest in these
properties. The Grove at San Marcos, The Grove at Moscow and The
Grove at San Angelo, each of which is owned by HSRE I, are
pledged as collateral under our Wachovia Bank Three Property
Construction Loan. In connection with our purchase of our joint
venture partners interest in The Grove at San Marcos, the
outstanding principal balance of the loan will be required to be
reduced by approximately $19.7 million. This repayment will
be funded, in part, with the net proceeds of preferred
investments, with an aggregate amount of approximately
$4.8 million, that we will make in special-purpose
subsidiaries of HSRE I that own The Grove at Moscow and The
Grove at San Angelo. We will be entitled to a cumulative return
of 9%, compounded annually, on these preferred investments.
|
|
|
|
We will use approximately $45.2 million borrowed under our
revolving credit facility, together with a portion of the net
proceeds from this offering, to repay in full our mortgage loan
with Silverton Bank that is secured by six of our properties. As
described in this prospectus, we will repay, in aggregate,
approximately $287.1 million of indebtedness with the
(i) net proceeds from this offering and
(ii) $45.2 million borrowed under our revolving credit
facility.
|
|
|
|
We will purchase the preferred membership interest in our
CC-Encore joint venture for $3.9 million and terminate
CC-Encore.
|

The number of OP units and cash amounts to be received by the

Benefits
to Related Parties
In connection with this offering and our formation transactions,
MXT Capital, the Ricker Group and certain of our executive
officers, members of our management team and members of our
board of directors will receive material financial and other
benefits, as described below. Each of Ted W. Rollins, our
co-chairman and chief executive officer, and Michael S.
Hartnett, our co-chairman and chief investment officer, will,
through his respective ownership of MXT Capital, be entitled to
participate in the benefits realized by MXT Capital in
connection with our formation transactions. In addition, Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. will, through his ownership in the Ricker
Group, be entitled to participate in the benefits realized by
the Ricker Group in connection with our formation transactions.
We have included the Ricker Group as a related party due to the
substantial investment that it held in our predecessor entities
and the substantial returns paid to it by our predecessor
entities. For a more detailed discussion of these benefits, see
Management and Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
Our operating partnership will issue to MXT Capital 232,593 OP
units in exchange for MXT Capitals contribution to our
operating partnership of the interests owned by MXT Capital in
the predecessor entities and its student housing business.
|
|
|
|
MXT Capital will enter into a tax protection agreement with us.
Pursuant to the tax protection agreement, we will agree to
maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of $56.0 million
throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period in order to allow a sufficient amount of debt
to be allocable to MXT Capital to avoid certain adverse tax
consequences. If we fail to maintain such minimum indebtedness
throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period, we will be required to make indemnifying
payments to MXT Capital, in an amount equal to the federal,
state and local taxes, if any, imposed on its members as a
result of any income or gain recognized by them by reason of
such failure. The amount of such taxes will be computed based on
the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal tax
rates, as well as any grossed up taxes imposed on
such payments. This requirement may restrict our ability to
reduce leverage when we otherwise might wish to do so and
generally reduce our flexibility in managing our capital
structure. The tax protection agreement will not require us to
make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital by reason of any
built-in gain allocated to its members upon the disposition of
any of our properties.
|
|
|
|
We will enter into a registration rights agreement with MXT
Capital pursuant to which we will agree, among other things, to
register the resale of any common stock that may be exchanged
for the OP units issued in our formation transactions. This
agreement requires us to seek to register all common stock that
may be exchanged for OP units effective as of that date which is
12 months following completion of this offering on a shelf
registration statement under the Securities Act.
|
201
|
|
|
|
|
MXT Capital will receive Campus Crest Groups interests in
two parcels of land consisting of 20.2 acres, with
associated indebtedness of approximately $1.9 million, on
which we have decided not to build student housing properties.
|
|
|
|
We will pay the Ricker Group approximately $17.4 million of
the net proceeds from this offering in exchange for the Ricker
Groups contribution to our operating partnership of the
interests owned by the Ricker Group in the predecessor entities
and in the entities that have entered into ground leases with us
relating to eight of our properties. As a result of our
acquisition of the entities that previously had entered into
ground leases with us relating to eight of our properties, we
will have fee simple title to the real estate that is subject to
such leases.
|
|
|
|
Approximately $6.0 million of the net proceeds from this
offering will be used to repay indebtedness owed by us to RHR,
LLC, an entity owned by MXT Capital and the Ricker Group; RHR,
LLC will, in turn, immediately repay an equal amount of
indebtedness owed by it to an unaffiliated third party on
substantially the same terms and conditions as the loan from
RHR, LLC to us.
|
|
|
|
Approximately $4.0 million of the net proceeds from this
offering will be used to repay our indebtedness to Capital Bank,
an entity in which the Ricker Group has an ownership interest
and of which Carl H. Ricker, Jr. is a director.
|
|
|
|
Each of Ted W. Rollins, Michael S. Hartnett and Carl H.
Ricker, Jr. will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to mortgage and construction
indebtedness with an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$243.3 million in the case of each of Messrs. Rollins
and Hartnett and approximately $205.9 million, in the case
of Mr. Ricker, and from personal guarantees with respect to
the RHR, LLC and Capital Bank indebtedness described above, and
MXT Capital indebtedness described below. Each of Messrs.
Rollins and Hartnett will be released from certain personal
guarantees with respect to the preferred membership interest in
CC-Encore.
|
|
|
|
Indebtedness incurred by two entities through which MXT Capital
conducts aspects of its business will be repaid by MXT Capital.
MXT Capital will receive $3.3 million of the net proceeds
from this offering, which it will immediately use to make
capital contributions to these entities. These entities will, in
turn, immediately use the capital contributions received from
MXT Capital solely to repay indebtedness.
|
|
|
|
Our executive officers, directors and certain members of our
management team will receive material benefits, including:
|
|
|
|
|

management team and an aggregate grant of 33,335 shares of
restricted common stock to our independent directors);
|
|

203
POLICIES
WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
The following is a discussion of certain of our investment,
financing and other policies. These policies have been adopted
by our board of directors and, in general, may be amended or
revised from time to time by our board of directors without a
vote of our stockholders.
Investment
Policies
Investment
in Properties or Interests in Properties
We will conduct all of our investment activities through our
operating partnership and its affiliates. Our investment
objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders
through quarterly cash distributions and long-term capital
appreciation through increases in our value. For a discussion of
our properties and our growth strategies, see Business and
Properties.
We expect to pursue our investment objective primarily through
the ownership by our operating partnership, directly or
indirectly, of the properties to be acquired by us in our
formation transactions and other properties we may develop or
acquire in the future. We currently intend to acquire property
primarily for income. We currently intend to own, develop and
acquire existing student housing properties, and other
properties that we believe have potential as student housing.
Although we generally focus on medium-sized college and
university markets, future development or investment activities
will not be limited to any particular market, geographic area,
or product type or to a specified percentage of our assets. We
intend to engage in such future development or investment
activities in a manner that is consistent with our intention to
qualify for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
In addition, we may purchase or lease income-producing
properties for long-term investment, expand and improve the
properties we presently own or other acquired properties, or
sell such properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances
warrant.
We also expect to participate with third parties in property
ownership through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.
We will not, however, enter into a joint venture or other
partnership arrangement to make an investment that would not
otherwise meet our investment policies. We may also acquire
properties or interests in properties in exchange for the
issuance of common stock or OP units and may grant registration
rights in connection with these issuances.
Investments in properties may be subject to existing mortgage
financing and other indebtedness or to new indebtedness which
may be incurred in connection with acquiring or refinancing
these properties. Debt service on such financing or indebtedness
will have a priority over any distributions with respect to our
common stock. Any investments in securities will be subject to
our policy not to be treated as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or the Investment Company Act.
Investments
in Real Estate Mortgages
While our current portfolio consists of, and our business
objective emphasizes, equity investments in student housing
properties, we may, at the discretion of our board of directors,
invest in mortgages and other types of real estate interests
consistent with our intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT.
We do not presently intend to invest in mortgages or deeds of
trust, but may invest in participating or convertible mortgages
if we conclude that we may benefit from the gross revenues or
any appreciation in value of the related property. Investments
in real estate mortgages run the risk that one or more borrowers
may default under certain mortgages and that the collateral
securing certain mortgages may not be sufficient to enable us to
recoup our full investment.
204
Investments
in Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in
Real Estate Activities and Other Issuers
Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross
income tests necessary for REIT qualification, we may invest in
securities of other REITs, other entities engaged in real estate
activities or securities of other issuers, including for the
purpose of exercising control over such entities.
Dispositions
We do not currently intend to dispose of any of our properties,
although we reserve the right to do so if, based upon
managements periodic review of our portfolio, we determine
that such action would be in the best interest of our
stockholders. In addition, we may elect to enter into joint
ventures or other types of co-ownership with respect to
properties that we already own, either in connection with
acquiring interests in other properties (as discussed above in
Investment PoliciesInvestment in Properties or
Interests in Properties) or raising equity capital from
investors. Certain of our executive officers who directly or
indirectly hold OP units may have their decision as to the
desirability of a proposed disposition influenced by the tax
consequences to them resulting from the disposition of a certain
property. Any decision to dispose of a property would require
the approval of our board of directors.
Financing
Policies
We intend to limit our ratio of debt to total market
capitalization to not greater than 50%, although our charter
places no limit on the amount of indebtedness that we may incur
and we may exceed this level from time to time. Our total market
capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our
outstanding common stock and preferred stock (which may
decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total market
capitalization ratio), including shares of restricted stock or
restricted stock units that we may issue to our officers and
directors under our 2010 Incentive Award Plan, plus the
aggregate value of OP units, plus the book value of our total
consolidated indebtedness (excluding indebtedness encumbering
our current and future unconsolidated joint venture properties).
Since this ratio is based, in part, upon market values of
equity, it will fluctuate with changes in the price of our
common stock. We believe, however, that this ratio provides an
appropriate indication of leverage for a company whose assets
are primarily real estate. Upon completion of this offering,
application of the net proceeds therefrom and our formation
transactions, we will have a debt to total market capitalization
ratio of approximately 22.7% (12.8% if the underwriters
overallotment option is exercised in full).
We intend to finance our long-term growth with common and
preferred equity issuances and debt financing having staggered
maturities. Our debt may include mortgage debt secured by our
properties, as well as unsecured debt, and such debt may require
us to pay fixed or floating rates of interest. We will seek to
utilize Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae long-term debt financing for
stabilized properties to the extent possible. In addition to our
three joint ventures properties opened in August 2010, We
may also seek to finance development projects through joint
ventures with third parties, such as the three properties that
we intend to develop in a new joint venture that we expect to
establish with HSRE and in which we expect to own a 20% interest.
We have entered into a credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. and
certain other parties thereto relating to a three-year,
$125 million senior secured revolving credit facility,
which will become effective immediately upon completion of this
offering and satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions.
Amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility will
bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the
Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate plus a spread. The spread will
depend upon our leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to
3.50% for Eurodollar Rate based
205
borrowings and from 1.75% to 2.50% for Base Rate based
borrowings. We expect to use approximately $45.2 million
borrowed under our revolving credit facility, together with a
portion of the net proceeds from this offering, to repay in full
our mortgage loan with Silverton Bank that is currently secured
by six of our properties. In addition, we anticipate that this
revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate
purposes and to finance, among other things, identified future
growth opportunities including the four wholly-owned and three
joint venture properties that we expect to commence building
upon completion of this offering, with completion targeted for
the 2011-2012 academic year. In addition, we may fund
distributions to our stockholders with borrowings under our
revolving credit facility.
Our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount or percentage of
indebtedness that we may incur. Our board of directors may from
time to time modify our debt policy in light of
then-current
economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of our properties, general conditions in the
market for debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the
market price of our common stock, growth and acquisition
opportunities and other factors. Accordingly, our board of
directors may increase or decrease our ratio of debt to total
market capitalization beyond the limits described above. If
these policies were changed, we could become more highly
leveraged, resulting in an increased risk of default on our
obligations and a related increase in debt service requirements
that could adversely affect our financial condition and results
of operations and our ability to pay distributions to our
stockholders. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our
Business and Properties. Our indebtedness exposes us to
the risk of default and will reduce our free cash flow, which
could materially and adversely affect us. See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital
Resources. Finally, the tax protection agreement will
require us to maintain a minimum level of indebtedness of
$56.0 million throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period in order to allow a sufficient amount of debt
to be allocable to MXT Capital to avoid certain adverse tax
consequences. If we fail to maintain such minimum indebtedness
throughout the
ten-year tax
protection period, we will be required to make indemnifying
payments to MXT Capital, in an amount equal to the federal,
state and local taxes, if any, imposed on its members as a
result of any income or gain recognized by them by reason of
such failure. The amount of such taxes will be computed based on
the highest applicable federal, state and local marginal tax
rates, as well as any grossed up taxes imposed on
such payments. This requirement may restrict our ability to
reduce leverage when we otherwise might wish to do so and
generally reduce our flexibility in managing our capital
structure. The tax protection agreement will not require us to
make indemnifying payments to MXT Capital by reason of any
built-in gain allocated to its members upon the disposition of
any of our properties.
Conflict
of Interest Policies
Generally
Certain of our directors and executive officers may be subject
to certain conflicts of interest in fulfilling their
responsibilities to us. We intend to adopt certain policies that
are designed to eliminate or minimize certain potential
conflicts of interest. In addition, our board of directors is
subject to certain provisions of Maryland law, which are also
designed to eliminate or minimize conflicts. However, there can
be no assurance that these policies or provisions of our charter
and law will always be successful in eliminating the influence
of such conflicts, and if they are not successful, decisions
could be made that might fail to reflect fully the interests of
all stockholders.
206
Sale
or Refinancing of Properties
Upon the sale or refinancing of certain of the properties to be
acquired by us in our formation transactions, some holders of OP
units, including certain of our executive officers, may suffer
different and more adverse tax consequences than our common
stockholders. Consequently, holders of OP units may have
differing objectives regarding the appropriate pricing and
timing of any such sale or repayment of indebtedness. Through
our wholly-owned subsidiary, Campus Crest Communities GP, LLC,
the sole general partner of our operating partnership, we will
have the exclusive authority under the partnership agreement to
determine whether, when, and on what terms to sell a property or
when to refinance or repay indebtedness, and any such decision
would require the approval of our board of directors. See
Our Operating Partnership and the Partnership
Agreement.
Interested
Director and Officer Transactions
Under the MGCL, a contract or other transaction between us and a
director or between us and any other corporation or other entity
in which any of our directors is a director or has a material
financial interest is not void or voidable solely on the grounds
of the common directorship or interest. The common directorship
or interest, the presence of such director at the meeting at
which the contract or transaction is authorized, approved or
ratified or the counting of the directors vote in favor
thereof will not render the transaction void or voidable if:
|
|
|
|
|
the material facts relating to the common directorship or
interest and as to the transaction are disclosed to, or known
by, our board of directors or a committee of our board, and our
board of directors or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies
the transaction or contract by the affirmative vote of a
majority of disinterested directors, even if the disinterested
directors constitute less than a quorum;
|
|
|
|
the material facts relating to the common directorship or
interest and as to the transaction are disclosed to, or known
by, our stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by a majority of
the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote other than
the votes of stock owned of record or beneficially by the
interested director, corporation or other entity; or
|
|
|
|
the transaction or contract is fair and reasonable to us at the
time it is authorized, approved or ratified.
|
Furthermore, under Delaware law (where our operating partnership
is formed), as the sole general partner we have a fiduciary duty
to our operating partnership and, consequently, such
transactions also are subject to the duties of care and loyalty
that the sole general partner of our operating partnership owes
to limited partners in our operating partnership (to the extent
such duties have not been eliminated pursuant to the terms of
the partnership agreement). We intend to adopt a policy which
requires that all contracts and transactions between us, our
operating partnership or any of our subsidiaries, on the one
hand, and any of our directors or executive officers or any
entity in which such director or executive officer is a director
or has a material financial interest, on the other hand, must be
approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
disinterested directors even if less than a quorum. Where
appropriate in the judgment of the disinterested directors, our
board of directors may obtain a fairness opinion or engage
independent counsel to represent the interests of nonaffiliated
security holders, although our board of directors will have no
obligation to do so.
207
Business
Opportunities
Pursuant to Maryland law, each director is obligated to offer to
us any business opportunity (with certain limited exceptions)
that comes to him or her in his or her capacity as a director
and that we reasonably could be expected to have an interest in
pursuing.
Policies
with Respect to Other Activities
We have authority to offer common stock, OP units, preferred
stock or options to purchase stock in exchange for property and
to repurchase or otherwise acquire our common stock or other
securities in the open market or otherwise, and we may engage in
such activities in the future. As described in Our
Operating Partnership and the Partnership Agreement, we
expect, but are not obligated to issue shares of common stock to
holders of OP units upon exercise of their redemption rights.
Except in connection with our initial capitalization, we have
not issued common stock, OP units or any other securities in
exchange for property or any other purpose. However, as
discussed above in Investment
PoliciesInvestment in Properties or Interests in
Properties we may elect to do so. Our board of directors
has no present intention of causing us to repurchase any common
stock although we may do so in the future. We may issue
preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series, as
authorized by our board of directors without the need for
stockholder approval. See Description of Capital
Stock. We have not engaged in trading, underwriting or
agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers other
than our operating partnership and do not intend to do so. At
all times, we intend to make investments in such a manner as to
qualify as a REIT, unless because of circumstances or changes in
the Internal Revenue Code, or the Treasury Regulations, our
board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best
interest to qualify as a REIT. We have not made any loans to
third parties, although we may in the future make loans to third
parties, including, without limitation, to joint ventures in
which we participate. We intend to make investments in such a
way that we will not be treated as an investment company under
the Investment Company Act.
Reporting
Policies
After this offering, we will become subject to the information
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Pursuant to those
requirements, we will be required to file periodic reports,
proxy statements and other information, including audited
financial statements, with the SEC. See Where You Can Find
More Information.
208
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
We are a Maryland corporation. Your rights as a stockholder
are governed by Maryland law, including the MGCL, and our
charter and bylaws. The following is a summary of the material
terms of our capital stock. You should read our charter and
bylaws, copies of which are exhibits to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part, for complete
information. See Where You Can Find More
Information.
General
Authorized Shares. Our charter provides that we may issue
up to 90,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par
value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$0.01 par value per share. Upon completion of this
offering, 28,428,321 shares of our common stock (or
32,678,321 shares if the underwriters exercise their
overallotment option in full) and no shares of preferred stock
will be issued and outstanding.
Authority of Our Board of Directors Relating to Authorized
Shares. Our charter authorizes our board of directors to
amend our charter to increase or decrease the total number of
our authorized shares, or the number of shares of any class or
series of capital stock that we have authority to issue, without
stockholder approval. Our board of directors also has the
authority, under our charter and without stockholder approval,
to classify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock
into one or more classes or series of stock and to reclassify
any previously classified but unissued shares of any series of
our common or preferred stock. If, however, there are any laws
or stock exchange rules that require us to obtain stockholder
approval in order for us to take these actions, we will contact
our stockholders to solicit that approval.
We believe that the power to issue additional shares of common
stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify unissued
shares of common or preferred stock and then issue the
classified or reclassified shares provides us with increased
flexibility in structuring possible future financings and
acquisitions and in meeting other needs that may arise in the
future. The additional classes or series, as well as the
additional shares of stock, will be available for issuance
without further action by our stockholders, unless stockholder
approval is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock
exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities
may be listed or traded.
Terms and Conditions of Authorized Shares. Prior to
issuance of shares of each class or series, our board of
directors is required by Maryland law and our charter to set,
subject to the provisions of our charter regarding restrictions
on transfer of stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or
conditions of redemption for each class or series. As a result,
our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of
common stock or preferred stock with terms and conditions that
could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
transaction or a change of control that would involve a premium
price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be favorable
to them.
Stockholder Liability. Applicable Maryland law provides
that our stockholders will not be personally liable for our acts
and obligations and that our funds and property will be the only
recourse for our acts and obligations.
Common
Stock
All shares of our common stock offered hereby will be, in the
opinion of our counsel, Saul Ewing LLP, duly authorized, fully
paid and nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of
209
any other class or series of stock and to the provisions of our
charter regarding restrictions on transfer of stock, holders of
shares of our common stock are entitled to receive distributions
on such stock if, as and when authorized by our board of
directors out of assets legally available for the payment of
distributions, and declared by us, and to share ratably in our
assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders in
the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after
payment of or adequate provision for all of our known debts and
liabilities.
Subject to the provisions of our charter regarding restrictions
on ownership and transfer of stock and except as may otherwise
be specified in the terms of any class or series of common
stock, each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the
holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders, including the election of directors and, except as
provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the
holders of our common stock will possess the exclusive voting
power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our
directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of the
directors then standing for election and the holders of the
remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Under
Maryland law, the holders of a plurality of the votes cast at a
meeting at which directors are to be elected is sufficient to
elect a director unless a corporations charter or bylaws
provide otherwise. Our bylaws provide for such plurality voting
in the election of directors.
Holders of shares of our common stock have no preference,
conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal
rights and have no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for
any of our securities. Subject to the provisions of our charter
regarding the restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock,
shares of our common stock will have equal dividend, liquidation
and other rights.
Our charter authorizes our board of directors to reclassify any
unissued shares of our common stock into other classes or series
of classes of stock and to establish the number of shares in
each class or series and to set the preferences, conversion and
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or
conditions of redemption for each such class or series.
Preferred
Stock
Under our charter, our board of directors may from time to time
establish and issue one or more series of preferred stock
without stockholder approval. Prior to issuance of shares of
each series, our board of directors is required by Maryland law
and our charter to set, subject to the provisions of our charter
regarding restrictions on transfer of stock, the terms,
preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other
distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of
redemption for each series. Thus, our board of directors could
authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock that have
priority over our common stock with respect to dividends or
rights upon liquidation or with terms and conditions which could
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
transaction or a change of control of us that might involve a
premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in
their best interests. As of the date hereof, no shares of
preferred stock are outstanding and we have no present plans to
issue any preferred stock.
Restrictions
on Ownership and Transfer
In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code, our stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more
persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of
12 months (other than the first year for which an election
to be a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a
shorter taxable year. Also, not more than 50% of the value of
the outstanding shares of stock may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities such as
qualified pension plans)
210
during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first
year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). To
qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy other requirements as well.
See Federal Income Tax ConsiderationsRequirements
for Qualification.
Our charter contains restrictions on the ownership and transfer
of our stock which are intended to assist us in complying with
these requirements and continuing to qualify as a REIT. The
relevant sections of our charter provide that, subject to the
exceptions described below, no person or entity may beneficially
own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable
constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
more than 9.8% by vote or value, whichever is more restrictive,
of either our outstanding common stock or our outstanding
capital stock in the aggregate. We refer to these restrictions,
collectively, as the ownership limit. A person or
entity that becomes subject to the ownership limit by virtue of
a violative transfer that results in a transfer to a trust, as
set forth below, is referred to as a purported beneficial
transferee if, had the violative transfer been effective,
the person or entity would have been a record owner and
beneficial owner or solely a beneficial owner of our stock, or
is referred to as a purported record transferee if,
had the violative transfer been effective, the person or entity
would have been solely a record owner of our stock.
The constructive ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code
are complex and may cause stock owned actually or constructively
by a group of related individuals
and/or
entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity.
As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% by vote or value,
whichever is more restrictive, of either our outstanding common
stock or our outstanding capital stock in the aggregate (or the
acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or
constructively, our stock) by an individual or entity, could,
nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another
individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 9.8% by
vote or value, whichever is more restrictive, of either our
outstanding common stock or our outstanding capital stock in the
aggregate and thereby violate the applicable ownership limit.
Our board of directors must waive the ownership limit with
respect to a particular stockholder if it:
|
|
|
|
|
determines that such ownership will not cause any
individuals beneficial ownership of shares of our stock to
violate the ownership limit and that any exemption from the
ownership limit will not jeopardize our status as a
REIT; and
|
|
|
|
determines that such stockholder does not and will not own,
actually or constructively, an interest in a tenant of ours (or
a tenant of any entity whose operations are attributed in whole
or in part to us) that would cause us to own, actually or
constructively, more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in
Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) in such
tenant or that any such ownership would not cause us to fail to
qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
|
As a condition of our waiver, our board of directors may require
the applicant to submit such information as the board of
directors may reasonably need to make the determinations
regarding our REIT status and additionally may require an
opinion of counsel or IRS ruling satisfactory to our board of
directors,
and/or
representations or undertakings from the applicant with respect
to preserving our REIT status.
In connection with the waiver of the ownership limit or at any
other time, our board of directors may increase the ownership
limitation for some persons and decrease the ownership limit for
all other persons and entities; provided, however, that the
decreased ownership limit will not be effective for any person
or entity whose percentage ownership in our stock is in excess
of such decreased ownership limit until such time as such person
or entitys percentage of
211
our stock equals or falls below the decreased ownership limit,
but any further acquisition of our stock in excess of such
percentage ownership of our common stock will be in violation of
the ownership limit. Additionally, the new ownership limit may
not allow five or fewer stockholders to beneficially or
constructively own more than 49.9% in value of our outstanding
stock.
Our charter provisions further prohibit:
|
|
|
|
|
any person from beneficially or constructively owning shares of
our stock that would result in our being closely
held under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code (without regard to whether the stockholders interest
is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise
cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT; and
|
|
|
|
any person from transferring shares of our stock if such
transfer would result in shares of our stock being beneficially
owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without
reference to any rules of attribution).
|
Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire
beneficial or constructive ownership of shares of our stock that
will or may violate any of the foregoing restrictions on
transferability and ownership will be required to give notice
immediately to us and provide us with such other information as
we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer
on our status as a REIT. The foregoing provisions on
transferability and ownership will not apply if our board of
directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests
to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT.
Pursuant to our charter, any attempted transfer of our stock
which, if effective, would result in our stock being
beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons will be void
ab initio. Any attempted transfer of our stock or any
other event which, if effective, would result in any person
violating the ownership limits or such other limit as permitted
by our board of directors, will be void and of no force or
effect as to that number of shares in excess of the ownership
limit (rounded up to the nearest whole share). That number of
shares in excess of the ownership limit will be automatically
transferred to, and held by, a trust for the exclusive benefit
of one or more charitable organizations selected by us. The
automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business
on the business day prior to the date of the purported transfer
or other event that results in a transfer to the trust. Any
dividend or other distribution paid to the purported record
transferee, prior to our discovery that the shares had been
automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be
repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the
beneficiary of the trust. If the transfer to the trust as
described above is not automatically effective, for any reason,
to prevent violation of the applicable ownership limit or as
otherwise permitted by our board of directors, then our charter
provides that the transfer of the excess shares will be void
ab initio.
Shares of our stock transferred to the trustee are deemed
offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share
equal to the lesser of: (i) the price paid by the purported
record transferee for the shares (or, if the event which
resulted in the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase
of such shares of our stock at market price, the last reported
sales price reported on the NYSE on the trading day immediately
preceding the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of
such shares of our stock to the trust); and (ii) the market
price on the date we, or our designee, accepts such offer. We
have the right to accept such offer until the trustee has sold
the shares of our stock held in the trust pursuant to the
clauses discussed below. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the
charitable beneficiary in the shares sold terminates and the
trustee must distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the
purported record transferee and any dividends or other
distributions held by the trustee with respect to such stock
will be paid to the charitable beneficiary.
If we do not buy the shares, the trustee must, within
20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of
shares to the trust, sell the shares to a person or entity
designated by the trustee
212
who could own the shares without violating the ownership limits
and the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of our
stock contained in our charter. After that, the trustee must
distribute to the purported record transferee an amount equal to
the lesser of: (i) the price paid by the purported record
transferee or owner for the shares (or, if the event which
resulted in the transfer to the trust did not involve a purchase
of such shares at market price, the last reported sales price
reported on the NYSE on the trading day immediately preceding
the relevant date); and (ii) the sales proceeds (net of
commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the trust
for the shares. The purported beneficial transferee or purported
record transferee has no rights in the shares held by the
trustee.
The trustee shall be designated by us and shall be unaffiliated
with us and with any purported record transferee or purported
beneficial transferee. Prior to the sale of any excess shares by
the trust, the trustee will receive, in trust for the
beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid by us
with respect to the excess shares, and may also exercise all
voting rights with respect to the excess shares.
Subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the
shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee shall
have the authority, at the trustees sole discretion:
|
|
|
|
|
to rescind as void any vote cast by a purported record
transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been
transferred to the trust; and
|
|
|
|
to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee
acting for the benefit of the beneficiary of the trust.
|
However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action,
then the trustee may not rescind and recast the vote.
Every owner of 5% or more (or such lower percentage as required
by the Internal Revenue Code or regulations promulgated
thereunder) of our stock, within 30 days after the end of
each taxable year, must give us written notice, stating the
persons name and address, the number of shares of each
class and series of our stock that the person beneficially owns
and a description of the manner in which the shares are held.
Each such owner also must provide us with any additional
information we may request in order to determine the effect, if
any, of the persons beneficial ownership on our status as
a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limit. In
addition, any person or entity that is a beneficial owner or
constructive owner of shares of our stock and any person or
entity (including the stockholder of record) who is holding
shares of our stock for a beneficial owner or constructive owner
must, on request, disclose to us in writing such information as
we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such
stockholders actual and constructive ownership of shares
of our stock on our status as a REIT and to comply, or determine
our compliance with, the requirements of any governmental or
taxing authority.
All certificates representing shares of our stock will bear a
legend referring to the restrictions described above.
These restrictions on ownership and transfer could delay, defer
or prevent a transaction or a change of control of us that might
involve a premium price for our stock or otherwise be in the
best interest of our stockholders.

CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND
BYLAWS
The following description summarizes the material terms of
certain provisions of Maryland law, including the MGCL, and our
charter and bylaws. You should review the MGCL, our charter and
our bylaws for complete information. We have filed our charter
and bylaws as exhibits to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part. See Where You Can Find More
Information.
Our Board
of Directors, Vacancies on Our Board of Directors and Removal of
Directors
Number and Election of Directors. Our bylaws provide that
the number of our directors will be fixed by a majority of our
entire board of directors, but may not be fewer than the minimum
number permitted under Maryland law or more than fifteen. In
establishing the number of directors, the board of directors may
not alter the term of office of any director in office at that
time.
Pursuant to our charter, each of our directors is elected to
serve until the next annual meeting of our stockholders and
until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Holders
of shares of our common stock will have no right to cumulative
voting in the election of directors. Our bylaws provide that at
each annual meeting of stockholders, a plurality of votes cast
will be able to elect the directors standing for election.
Vacancies on Our Board of Directors. In our charter, we
have elected to be subject to
Section 3-804(c)
of the MGCL, and subject to the rights of holders of one or more
classes or series of preferred stock, any vacancy may be filled
only by an affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors in office, even if the remaining directors do not
constitute a quorum, and any director elected to fill a vacancy
will serve for the full term of the directorship in which such
vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies.
Removal of Directors. Our charter provides that, except
for any directors elected by holders of a class or series of
shares other than common stock, a director may be removed by the
stockholders only with the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the
election of directors and only for cause. In our
charter, cause means, with respect to any particular
director, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction holding that such director caused
demonstrable, material harm to us through bad faith or active
and deliberate dishonesty. This provision, when coupled with the
exclusive power of our board of directors to fill vacant
directorships, may preclude stockholders from removing incumbent
directors and filling the vacancies created by such removal with
their own nominees.
Amendment
of Our Charter
Our charter generally provides that charter amendments requiring
stockholder approval must be declared advisable by our board of
directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders
entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast
on the matter. However, our charters provisions regarding
removal of directors, restrictions on ownership and transfer of
our stock and the number of votes required to amend either of
these sections may be amended only if such amendment is declared
advisable by our board of directors and approved by the
affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast not less than
two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
214
Bylaw
Amendments
Our board of directors has the exclusive power to adopt, alter
or repeal any provision of our bylaws and to make new bylaws.
Transactions
Outside the Ordinary Course of Business
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not merge with or
into another entity, sell all or substantially all of its
assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar
transactions outside the ordinary course of its business unless
the transaction or transactions are recommended by a majority of
the entire board of directors and approved by the affirmative
vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of all of the
votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, a Maryland
corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these
matters by a lesser percentage of the shares entitled to vote on
the matter, but not less than a majority of all of the votes
entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for
approval of these matters by at least a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast. However, because operating assets may be
held by a corporations subsidiaries, as in our situation,
this may mean that one of our subsidiaries could transfer all of
its assets without any vote of our stockholders.
Dissolution
A proposal that we dissolve must be recommended by a majority of
the entire board of directors and approved by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least a majority of all of the votes
entitled to be cast on the matter.
Advance
Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide for advance notice by a stockholder or
stockholders wishing to have certain matters considered and
voted upon at a meeting of stockholders.
With respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations
of persons for election to our board of directors and the
proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be
made only:
|
|
|
|
|
pursuant to our notice of the meeting;
|
|
|
|
by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
|
|
|
|
by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has
complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our
bylaws.
|
These procedures generally require the stockholder to deliver
notice to our secretary not earlier than the 150th day nor later
than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the
first anniversary of the date of mailing of the notice for the
preceding years annual meeting. If the date of the annual
meeting is advanced by more than 30 days from the date of
the preceding years meeting or if we did not hold an
annual meeting the preceding year, notice must be delivered not
earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of
the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as
originally convened, or the 10th day following the day on
which disclosure of the date of the meeting is made.
215
With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the
business specified in our notice of meeting may be brought
before the meeting of stockholders. Nominations of persons for
election to our board of directors may be made only:
|
|
|
|
|
pursuant to our notice of the meeting;
|
|
|
|
by or at the direction of our board of directors; or
|
|
|
|
provided that our board of directors has determined that
directors shall be elected at such meeting, by a stockholder who
is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the
advance notice provisions set forth in our bylaws.
|
Notice must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day
prior to the date of the special meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the
date of the special meeting or the 10th day following the
day on which disclosure of the date of the special meeting is
made.
The postponement or adjournment of an annual or special meeting
to a later date or time will not commence any new time periods
for the giving of the notice described above. Our bylaws contain
detailed requirements for the contents of stockholder notices of
director nominations and new business proposals.
Ownership
Limit
Our charter provides that no person or entity may beneficially
own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable
constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
more than 9.8% by vote or value, whichever is more restrictive,
of either our outstanding common stock or our outstanding
capital stock in the aggregate. We refer to this restriction as
the ownership limit. Our charter, however, permits
exceptions to be made to this limitation if our board of
directors determines that such exceptions will not jeopardize
our tax status as a REIT. See Description of Capital
StockRestrictions on Ownership and Transfer.
Business
Combinations
The Maryland Business Combination Act establishes special
requirements for business combinations (including a
merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in certain
circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification
of equity securities) between a Maryland corporation and any
person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or
more of the voting power of the corporations shares or an
affiliate of the corporation who, at any time within the
two-year period prior to the date in question and after the date
on which the corporation had 100 or more beneficial owners of
its stock, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting
stock of the corporation or an Interested
Stockholder. A corporation may not engage in any business
combinations with an Interested Stockholder, or an affiliate of
such an Interested Stockholder for a period of five years after
the most recent date on which the Interested Stockholder becomes
an Interested Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business
combination must be recommended by the board of directors of
such corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at
least (i) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders
of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and
(ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders
of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the
Interested Stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate) the
business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
conditions, the corporations common stockholders receive a
minimum price (as defined in Maryland law) for their shares and
the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as
previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its shares.
Under
216
the MGCL, a person is not considered an Interested Stockholder
under the statute if our board of directors approved in advance
the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become
an Interested Stockholder.
These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to
business combinations that are approved or exempted by
resolution of our board of directors provided that the exemption
would not apply to a business combination with a particular
Interested Stockholder unless the resolution is adopted prior to
the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder. Pursuant to the MGCL, our board of directors has by
resolution exempted business combinations between us and any
person, provided that such business combination is first
approved by our board of directors (including a majority of our
directors who are not affiliates or associates of such person).
Consequently, the five year prohibition and the supermajority
vote requirements will not apply to business combinations
between us and any person described above. As a result, any
person described above may be able to enter into business
combinations with us that may not be in the best interests of
our stockholders without compliance by us with the supermajority
vote requirements and other provisions of the statute. Should
our board of directors opt back into the statute or otherwise
fail to approve a business combination, the business combination
statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of
us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Our charter provides that any business combinations must be
approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the
votes entitled to be cast by holders of our voting stock.
Control
Share Acquisitions
The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that
control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in
a control share acquisition have no voting rights
except to the extent approved at a special meeting by the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast
on the matter, excluding shares of stock in a corporation in
respect of which any of the following persons is entitled to
exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of shares of
stock of the corporation in the election of directors:
(i) a person who makes or proposes to make a control share
acquisition; (ii) an officer of the corporation; or
(iii) an employee of the corporation who is also a director
of the corporation. Control shares are voting shares
of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of
stock previously acquired by the acquirer or in respect of which
the acquirer is able to exercise or direct the exercise of
voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy),
would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing
directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
(i) one-tenth or more but less than one-third;
(ii) one-third or more but less than a majority; or
(iii) a majority or more of all voting power. Control
shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then
entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained
stockholder approval. A control share acquisition
means the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of ownership of,
or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect
to, control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a control share
acquisition, upon satisfaction of certain conditions (including
an undertaking to pay expenses), may compel our board of
directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held
within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of
the shares. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation
may itself present the question at any stockholders
meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the
acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement
as required by the statute, then, subject to certain conditions
and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the
control shares (except those for which voting rights have
previously been approved) for fair value determined, without
regard to the
217
absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date
of the last control share acquisition by the acquirer or of any
meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such
shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for
control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and
the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares
entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal
rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes
of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price
per share paid by the acquirer in the control share acquisition.
The control share acquisition statute does not apply (i) to
shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if
the corporation is a party to the transaction or (ii) to
acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of
the corporation and adopted at any time before the acquisition
of the shares.
Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland
Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any
person of our common stock. There can be no assurance that our
board of directors will not amend or eliminate this provision of
our bylaws in the future.
Maryland
Unsolicited Takeovers Act
The Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act permits Maryland
corporations that have classes of equity securities registered
under the Exchange Act and have at least three independent
directors to elect by resolution of the board of directors or by
provision in their charter or bylaws to be subject to certain
corporate governance provisions, even if such provisions may be
inconsistent with the corporations charter and bylaws.
Under the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act, a board of
directors may create classes of directors without the vote of
stockholders. Further, the board of directors may, by electing
into applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding any
contrary provisions in the charter or bylaws:
|
|
|
|
|
provide that a special meeting of the stockholders will be
called at the request of stockholders only if requested by
stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast at the meeting;
|
|
|
|
reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors;
|
|
|
|
provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of the
holders of two-thirds of the stock entitled to vote; and
|
|
|
|
provide that any vacancies on the board of directors may be
filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors in office, even if the remaining directors
do not constitute a quorum, for the remainder of the full term
of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and
until a successor is elected and qualified.
|
A board of directors may implement all or any of these
provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without
stockholder approval. Our charter provides that pursuant to an
election under
Section 3-804(c)
of the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act, vacancies on our board
of directors may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining directors then in office for the full
term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.
Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to the
Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act, we already (i) allow the
removal of any director from our board of directors but only for
cause and then only with the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock,
(ii) vest in our board the exclusive power to fix the
number of directorships and (iii) require, unless called by
one of our co-chairmen, our president, our chief executive
officer or
218
our board of directors, the request of holders of a majority of
outstanding shares to call a special meeting.
Anti-Takeover
Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Our Charter
and Bylaws
The provisions of our charter on removal of directors,
provisions that vacancies on our board of directors may be
filled only by the remaining directors for the full term of the
class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, and the
advance notice provisions of our bylaws could delay, defer or
prevent a transaction or a change of control of us that might
involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or
otherwise be in their best interest. Likewise, if our board of
directors were to repeal the applicable resolution opting out of
the business combination provisions of Maryland law or if the
provision in our bylaws opting out of the control share
acquisition provisions of Maryland law were rescinded, these
provisions of Maryland law could have similar anti-takeover
effects.
Indemnification
and Limitation of Directors and Officers
Liability
Our charter and bylaws provide for indemnification of our
officers and directors against liabilities to the fullest extent
permitted by Maryland law.
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its
charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and
officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money
damages except for liability resulting from (i) actual
receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or
services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty that is
established by a final judgment as being material to the cause
of action. Our charter contains such a provision that limits
such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
The MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter
provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a
director or officer who has been successful in the defense of
any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be
made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity.
The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they
may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their
service in those or other capacities unless it is established
that: (1) the act or omission of the director or officer
was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and
(A) was committed in bad faith or (B) was the result
of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2) the director or
officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money,
property or services; or (3) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not
indemnify a director or officer in a suit by or in the right of
the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged
liable to the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the
basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court
may order indemnification if it determines that the director or
officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification,
even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed
standard of conduct, was adjudged liable to the corporation or
was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received. However, indemnification for an adverse
judgment in a suit by us or in our right, or for a judgment of
liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
received, is limited to expenses.
In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance
reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the
corporations receipt of: (1) a written affirmation by
the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he
or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for
219
indemnification by the corporation; and (2) a written
undertaking by the director or officer or on the directors
or officers behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed
by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the
director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct.
Our charter authorizes us to obligate ourselves and our bylaws
obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in
effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a
preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to
indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance
of final disposition of a proceeding to: (1) any present or
former director or officer who is made or threatened to be made
a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in
that capacity; or (2) any individual who, while a director
or officer of us and at our request, serves or has served as a
director, officer, partner, member, manager or trustee of
another corporation, REIT, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any
other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a
party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that
capacity.
Our charter and bylaws also permit us to, with approval of our
board of directors, indemnify and advance expenses to any person
who served a predecessor of ours in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of us or a
predecessor of us.
The partnership agreement provides that we, our officers and our
directors are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by
law. See Our Operating Partnership and the Partnership
AgreementIndemnification and Limitation of Liability.
Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of
directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability
arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that, in
the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
Indemnification
Agreements
Upon completion of this offering, we will enter into an
indemnification agreement with each of our executive officers
and directors as described in
ManagementIndemnification Agreements.
REIT
Qualification
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or
otherwise terminate our REIT election, without approval of our
stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best
interests to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a
REIT.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future

elapsed since the date of acquisition of the shares of common
stock from us or any of our affiliates and (ii) the holder

Rule 144s current public information requirement but
without regard to the volume limitations, manner of sale
provisions or notice requirements under such rule.
221
In addition, under Rule 144, if (i) one year (or,
subject to us being a reporting company under the Exchange Act
for at least the preceding 90 days, six months) has elapsed
since the date of acquisition of the shares common stock from us
or any of our affiliates and (ii) the holder is an
affiliate of ours or has been an affiliate of ours at any time
during the three months preceding the proposed sale, such holder

OUR
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the
Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Campus
Crest Communities Operating Partnership, LP, which we refer to
as the partnership agreement. For more detail, you
should refer to the partnership agreement itself, a copy of
which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part. For purposes of this section,
references to we, our, us
and our company refer to Campus Crest Communities,
Inc.
Management
of Our Operating Partnership
Our operating partnership is a Delaware limited partnership that
was formed on March 4, 2010. Through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Campus Crest Communities GP, LLC, we are the sole
general partner of our operating partnership and conduct
substantially all of our business in or through the operating
partnership. As sole general partner of our operating
partnership, we exercise exclusive and complete responsibility
and discretion in its
day-to-day
management and control. We have the power to cause our operating
partnership to enter into certain major transactions, including
acquisitions, dispositions and refinancing, subject to certain
limited exceptions. The limited partners of our operating
partnership may not transact business for, or participate in the
management activities or decisions of, our operating
partnership, except as provided in the partnership agreement and
as required by applicable law. Certain restrictions under the
partnership agreement restrict our ability to engage in a
business combination, as more fully described in
Termination Transactions below.
Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the limited
partners of our operating partnership expressly acknowledge that
we, as general partner of our operating partnership, are acting
for the benefit of the operating partnership, the limited
partners and our stockholders collectively. We are under no
obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the
limited partners or our stockholders in deciding whether to
cause our operating partnership to take or decline to take any
actions. If there is a conflict between the interests of our
stockholders on one hand and the limited partners on the other,
we will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a
manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited
partners; provided, however, that for so long as we own a
controlling interest in our operating partnership, any conflict
that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our
stockholders or the limited partners shall be resolved in favor
of our stockholders. We are not liable under the partnership
agreement to our operating partnership or to any partner for
monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or
benefits not derived by limited partners in connection with such
decisions, provided that we have acted in good faith.
All of our business activities, including all activities
pertaining to the acquisition and operation of properties, must
be conducted through our operating partnership, and our
operating partnership must be operated in a manner that will
enable us to satisfy the requirements for being classified as a
REIT.
Transferability
of Interests
Except in connection with a transaction described in
Termination Transactions below, we, as general
partner, may not voluntarily withdraw from our operating
partnership, or transfer or assign all or any portion of our
interest in our operating partnership, without the consent of
the holders of a majority of the limited partnership interests,
including our 98.5% interest therein.
223
Amendments
to the Partnership Agreement
Amendments to the partnership agreement may be proposed by us,
as general partner, or by limited partners owning at least 25%
of the OP units held by limited partners.
Generally, the partnership agreement may be amended, modified or
terminated with the approval of partners holding two-thirds of
all outstanding OP units (including the OP units held by us). As
general partner, we will have the power to unilaterally make
certain amendments to the partnership agreement without
obtaining the consent of the limited partners as may be required
to:
|
|
|
|
|
add to our obligations as general partner or surrender any right
or power granted to us as general partner for the benefit of the
limited partners;
|
|
|
|
reflect the issuance of additional OP units or the admission,
substitution, termination or withdrawal of partners in
accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement;
|
|
|
|
reflect a change of an inconsequential nature that does not
adversely affect the limited partners in any material respect,
or cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provisions of
the partnership agreement not inconsistent with law or with
other provisions of the partnership agreement, or make other
changes concerning matters under the partnership agreement that
will not otherwise be inconsistent with the partnership
agreement or law;
|
|
|
|
satisfy any requirements, conditions or guidelines contained in
any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal
or state agency or contained in federal or state law;
|
|
|
|
reflect changes that are reasonably necessary for us to maintain
our status as a REIT; or
|
|
|
|
modify the manner in which capital accounts are computed.
|
Amendments that would, among other things, convert a limited
partners interest into a general partners interest,
modify the limited liability of a limited partner, alter a
partners right to receive any distributions or allocations
of profits or losses, or materially alter or modify the
redemption rights described below must be approved by each
limited partner that would be adversely affected by such
amendment.
In addition, without the written consent of the holders of a
majority of the limited partnership interests, we, as general
partner, may not do any of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or
limitation contained in the partnership agreement;
|
|
|
|
enter into or conduct any business other than in connection with
our role as general partner of the operating partnership and our
operation as a REIT;
|
|
|
|
withdraw from the operating partnership or transfer any portion
of our general partnership interest; or
|
|
|
|
be relieved of our obligations under the partnership agreement
following any permitted transfer of our general partnership
interest.
|
224
Distributions
to Holders of OP Units
The partnership agreement provides that holders of OP units are
entitled to receive quarterly distributions of available cash on
a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage
interests.
Redemption/Exchange
Rights
On or after the date which is 12 months after the closing
of this offering with respect to OP units acquired on or
contemporaneously with the closing date for this offering or
such later date as is expressly set forth in any separate
agreement between the operating partnership and a limited
partner, limited partners who acquire OP units will have the
right to require our operating partnership to redeem part or all
of their OP units for cash based upon the fair market value of
an equivalent number of shares of our companys common
stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect
to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of our common
stock. Our acquisition will be on a
one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock
dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary
distributions and similar events. Limited partners who hold OP
units may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in
whole or in part, except when, as a consequence of shares of our
common stock being issued, any persons actual or
constructive stock ownership would exceed our ownership limits,
or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise
determined by our board of directors as described under the
section entitled Description of Capital
StockRestrictions on Ownership and Transfer.
Issuance
of Additional Units, Common Stock or Convertible
Securities
As sole general partner, we have the ability, without the
consent of the other limited partners, to cause the operating
partnership to issue additional OP units representing general
and limited partnership interests. These additional OP units may
include profits interests units and preferred limited
partnership units. In addition, we may issue additional shares
of our common stock or convertible securities, but only if we
cause our operating partnership to issue to us partnership
interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or
exchangeable securities of our operating partnership having
designations, preferences and other rights, so that the economic
interests of our operating partnership interests issued are
substantially similar to the securities that we have issued and
we contribute the net proceeds from the issuance of such shares
to our operating partnership as a capital contribution.
Tax
Matters
As sole general partner, we have authority to make tax elections
under the Internal Revenue Code on behalf of our operating
partnership. In addition, we are the tax matters partner of our
operating partnership.
Allocations
of Net Income and Net Losses to Partners
The net income or net loss of our operating partnership will
generally be allocated to us, as general partner, and the
limited partners in accordance with our respective percentage
interests in our operating partnership. However, in some cases
losses may be disproportionately allocated to partners who have
guaranteed debt of our operating partnership. The allocations
described above are subject to special allocations relating to
depreciation deductions and to compliance with the provisions of
Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and
the associated Treasury Regulations.
225
Operations
The partnership agreement requires that our operating
partnership be operated in a manner that enables us to satisfy
the requirements for being classified as a REIT for federal tax
purposes.
The partnership agreement provides that we, as general partner,
will determine and distribute all available cash,
which includes, without limitation, the net operating cash
revenues of our operating partnership, as well as the net sales
and refinancing proceeds, quarterly, pro rata in accordance with
the partners percentage interests.
The partnership agreement provides that our operating
partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse us for
payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the operations
of, or for the benefit of, our operating partnership.
Termination
Transactions
The partnership agreement provides that we may not engage in any
merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another
person, any sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or a
termination transaction, unless in connection with a
termination transaction either:
(a) all limited partners will receive, or have the right to
elect to receive, for each OP unit an amount of cash,
securities, or other property equal to the product of:
(i) the number of shares of our common stock into which
each OP unit is then exchangeable; and
(ii) the greatest amount of cash, securities or other
property paid to the holder of one share of our common stock in
consideration of one share of our common stock pursuant to the
termination transaction; or
(b) the following conditions are met:
(i) substantially all of the assets of the surviving entity
are held directly or indirectly by our operating partnership or
another limited partnership or limited liability company which
is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of
assets with our operating partnership;
(ii) the holders of OP units own a percentage interest of
the surviving entity based on the relative fair market value of
the net assets of our operating partnership and the other net
assets of the surviving entity immediately prior to the
consummation of the termination transaction;
(iii) the rights, preferences and privileges of such OP
unit holders in the surviving entity are at least as favorable
to those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the
transaction and as those applicable to any other limited
partners or non-managing members of the surviving
entity; and
(iv) the limited partners may exchange their interests in
the surviving entity for cash on terms equivalent to those in
effect with respect to the OP units immediately prior to the
consummation of such transaction.
226
Term
Our operating partnership will continue in full force and effect
until it is dissolved in accordance with the terms of the
partnership agreement or as otherwise provided by law.
Indemnification
and Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the partnership
agreement indemnifies us, as general partner, and our officers,
directors, employees, agents and any other persons we may
designate from and against any and all claims that relate to
operations of our operating partnership in which any indemnitee
may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, unless it is established that:
|
|
|
|
|
the act or omission of the indemnitee was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad
faith or fraud or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty;
|
|
|
|
the indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in
money, property or services; or
|
|
|
|
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful.
|
In any event, we, as general partner of our operating
partnership, and our officers, directors, agents or employees,
are not liable or accountable to our operating partnership for
losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived
as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or
any act or omission so long as we acted in good faith.
227

This summary assumes that you will hold our stock as a capital
asset. The statements in this section are based on the Internal
Revenue Code, its legislative history, current and proposed
regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings
and court decisions. This summary describes the provisions of
these sources of law only as they are currently in effect. All
of these sources of law may change at any time, and any change
in the law may apply retroactively. We cannot assure you that
new laws, interpretations of law or court decisions, any of
which may take effect retroactively, will not cause any
statement in this section to be inaccurate.
228
This section is not a substitute for careful tax planning. We
urge you to consult your tax advisor regarding the specific tax
consequences to you of ownership of our common stock and of our
election to be taxed as a REIT. Specifically, you should consult
your tax advisor regarding the federal, state, local, foreign,
and other tax consequences to you regarding the purchase,
ownership and sale of common stock. You should also consult with
your tax advisor regarding the impact of potential changes in
the applicable tax laws.
Taxation
of Our Company
We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with our
taxable year ending December 31, 2010.
Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP has provided us an opinion that
commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2010,
we will have been organized in conformity with the requirements
for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code, and our proposed method of operation will enable
us to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and
taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. You should
be aware, however, that opinions of counsel are not binding upon
the IRS or any court. In providing its opinion, Bradley Arant
Boult Cummings LLP is relying, as to certain factual matters,
upon the statements and representations contained in
certificates provided to Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP by us.
Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our continuing
satisfaction of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
relating to qualification for REIT status. Some of these
requirements depend upon actual operating results, distribution
levels, diversity of stock ownership, asset composition, source
of income and record keeping. Accordingly, while we intend to
continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, the actual results of
our operations for any particular year might not satisfy these
requirements. Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP will not monitor
our compliance with the requirements for REIT qualification on
an ongoing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that
the actual results of our operation for any particular taxable
year will satisfy such requirements. For a discussion of the tax
consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT, see
Failure to Qualify as a REIT below.
The sections of the Internal Revenue Code relating to
qualification and operation as a REIT, and the federal income
taxation of a REIT and its stockholders, are highly technical
and complex. The following discussion sets forth only the
material aspects of those sections. This summary is qualified in
its entirety by the applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions
and the related rules and regulations.
As a REIT, we generally will be entitled to a federal income tax
deduction for dividends that we pay and therefore will not be
subject to federal income tax on the taxable income that we
distribute to our stockholders. The benefit of this tax
treatment is that it avoids the double taxation, or
taxation at both the corporate and stockholder levels, that
generally results from owning shares in a corporation. Our
distributions, however, will generally not be eligible for
(i) the lower rates of tax applicable under current law to
dividends received by individuals or (ii) the corporate
dividends received deduction. Further, we will be subject to
federal tax in the following circumstances:
|
|
|
|
|
First, we will have to pay tax at regular corporate rates on any
undistributed real estate investment trust taxable income,
including undistributed net capital gains.
|
|
|
|
Second, under certain circumstances, we may have to pay the
alternative minimum tax on items of tax preference.
|
229
|
|
|
|
|
Third, if we have (a) net income from the sale or other
disposition of foreclosure property, as defined in
the Internal Revenue Code, which is held primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of business or (b) other
non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we will have to
pay tax at the highest corporate rate on that income.
|
|
|
|
Fourth, if we have net income from prohibited
transactions, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, we
will have to pay a 100% tax on that income. Prohibited
transactions are, in general, certain sales or other
dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of
business. We do not currently intend to dispose of any of our
properties and do not intend to engage in prohibited
transactions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will only
make sales that satisfy the requirements of the safe harbors or
that the IRS will not successfully assert that one or more of
such sales are prohibited transactions.
|
|
|
|
Fifth, if we should fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or
the 95% gross income test, as discussed below under
Requirements for Qualification, but we have
nonetheless maintained our qualification as a REIT because we
have satisfied other requirements necessary to maintain REIT
qualification, we will have to pay a 100% tax on an amount equal
to the greater of the amount of gross income by which we fail
either the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test,
multiplied by a fraction which is our taxable income over our
gross income determined with certain modifications.
|
|
|
|
Sixth, if we should fail to satisfy any of the asset tests other
than a de minimis failure of the 5% and 10% asset tests, as
discussed below under Requirements for
Qualification, but we have nonetheless maintained our
qualification as a REIT because we have satisfied other
requirements necessary to maintain REIT qualification and our
failure to satisfy a test or tests is due to reasonable cause
and not due to willful neglect, we will be subject to an excise
tax equal to the greater of (i) $50,000 for each taxable
year in which we fail to satisfy any of the asset tests or
(ii) the amount of net income generated by the assets that
caused the failure (for the period from the start of such
failure until the failure is resolved or the assets that caused
the failure are disposed of), multiplied by the highest
corporate tax rate.
|
|
|
|
Seventh, if we should fail to distribute during each calendar
year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our real estate
investment trust ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of
our real estate investment trust capital gain net income for
that year and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from
prior periods, we would have to pay a 4% excise tax on the
excess of that required dividend over the amounts actually
distributed.
|
|
|
|
Eighth, if we fail to satisfy one or more requirements for REIT
qualification, other than the gross income tests and asset
tests, we will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each
such failure.
|
|

Ninth, if we acquire any appreciated asset from a C corporation
in certain transactions in which we must adopt the basis of the
asset or any other property in the hands of the C corporation as
our basis of the asset in our hands, and we recognize gain on
the disposition of that asset during the
10-year
period beginning on the date on which we acquired that asset,
then we will have to pay tax on the built-in gain at the highest
regular corporate rate. In general, a C corporation means a
corporation that has to pay full corporate-level tax.

Tenth, if we receive non-arms length income from one of
our TRSs (as defined under Requirements for
Qualification), we will be subject to a 100% tax on the
amount of our non-arms length income.
|
Requirements
for Qualification
To qualify as a REIT, we must elect to be treated as a REIT, and
we must meet various (i) organizational requirements,
(ii) gross income tests, (iii) asset tests and
(iv) annual dividend requirements.
Organizational
Requirements
The Internal Revenue Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust
or association:
|
|
|
|
|
that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;
|
|
|
|
the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable
shares, or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;
|
|
|
|
that would be taxable as a domestic corporation, but for the
special Internal Revenue Code provisions applicable to REITs;
|
|
|
|
that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company
to which certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code apply;
|
|
|
|
the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;
|
|
|
|
during the last half of each taxable year, not more than 50% in
value of the outstanding stock of which is owned, directly or
constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code to also include certain
entities); and
|
|
|
|
that meets certain other tests, described below, regarding the
nature of its income and assets.
|
The Internal Revenue Code provides that the conditions described
in the first through fourth bullet points above must be met
during the entire taxable year and that the condition described
in the fifth bullet point above must be met during at least
335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a
proportionate part of a taxable year of less than
12 months. The conditions described in the fifth and sixth
bullet points do not apply until after the first taxable year
for which a REIT election is made.
We expect that we will satisfy the conditions described in the
first through fifth bullet points of the preceding paragraph
within the appropriate time periods and believe that we will
also satisfy the condition described in the sixth bullet point
of the preceding paragraph. In addition, our charter provides
for restrictions regarding the ownership and transfer of our
common stock. These restrictions are intended to assist us in
continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements described
in the fifth and sixth bullet points of the preceding paragraph.
The ownership and transfer restrictions pertaining to the common
stock are described earlier in this prospectus under the heading
Description of Capital StockRestrictions on
Ownership and Transfer.
For purposes of determining share ownership under the sixth
bullet point, an individual generally includes a
supplemental unemployment compensation benefits plan, a private
foundation, or a portion of a trust permanently set aside or
used exclusively for charitable purposes. An
231
individual, however, generally does not include a
trust that is a qualified employee pension or profit sharing
trust under the federal income tax laws, and beneficiaries of
such a trust will be treated as holding our shares in proportion
to their actuarial interests in the trust for purposes of the
sixth bullet point.
A corporation that is a qualified REIT subsidiary,
or QRS, is not treated as a corporation separate
from its parent REIT. All assets, liabilities, and items of
income, deduction, and credit of a qualified REIT
subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities, and items
of income, deduction, and credit of the REIT. A qualified
REIT subsidiary is a corporation, all of the capital stock
of which is owned by the REIT. Thus, in applying the
requirements described herein, any qualified REIT
subsidiary that we own will be ignored, and all assets,
liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of such
subsidiary will be treated as our assets, liabilities, and items
of income, deduction, and credit.
An unincorporated domestic entity, such as a limited liability
company, that has a single owner, generally is not treated as an
entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes.
An unincorporated domestic entity with two or more owners is
generally treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a
partnership, the REIT is treated as owning its proportionate
share of the assets of the partnership and as earning its
allocable share of the gross income of the partnership for
purposes of the applicable REIT qualification tests.
If, as in our case, a REIT is a partner in a partnership,
Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own
its proportionate capital share of the assets of the partnership
and will be deemed to be entitled to the income of the
partnership attributable to that capital share. In addition, the
character of the assets and gross income of the partnership will
retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes
of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code, including
satisfying the gross income tests and the asset tests. Thus, our
proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of
income of our operating partnership, which will be our principal
asset, will be treated as our assets, liabilities and items of
income for purposes of applying the requirements described in
this section. In addition, actions taken by our operating
partnership or any other entity that is either a disregarded
entity (including a qualified REIT subsidiary) or partnership in
which we own an interest, either directly or through one or more
tiers of disregarded entities (including qualified REIT
subsidiaries) or partnerships such as our operating partnership,
can affect our ability to satisfy the REIT income and assets
tests and the determination of whether we have net income from
prohibited transactions. Accordingly, for purposes of this
discussion, when we discuss our actions, income or assets we
intend that to include the actions, income or assets of our
operating partnership or any entity that is either a disregarded
entity (including a qualified REIT subsidiary) or partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which we maintain
an interest through multiple tiers of disregarded entities
(including qualified REIT subsidiaries) or partnerships. It is
our intention to exercise our authority as the sole general
partner of our operating partnership, and to cause our operating
partnership to exercise its authority as general partner of
those partnerships in which it owns an interest, so that all
such partnerships operate in a manner that will allow us to
maintain our status as a REIT.
Gross Income Tests
We must satisfy two gross income tests annually to maintain our
qualification as a REIT.
First, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year
must consist of defined types of income that we derive, directly
or indirectly, from investments relating to real property or
232
mortgages on real property or qualified temporary investment
income. Qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income
test generally includes:
|
|
|
|
|
rents from real property;
|
|
|
|
interest on debt secured by mortgages on real property, or on
interests in real property;
|
|
|
|
dividends or other distributions on, and gain from the sale of,
shares in other REITs;
|
|
|
|
gain from the sale of real estate assets; and
|
|
|
|
income derived from the temporary investment of new capital that
is attributable to the issuance of our shares of beneficial
interest or a public offering of our debt with a maturity date
of at least five years and that we receive during the one year
period beginning on the date on which we received such new
capital.
|
Second, in general, at least 95% of our gross income for each
taxable year must consist of income that is qualifying income
for purposes of the 75% gross income test, other types of
interest and dividends, gain from the sale or disposition of
stock or securities, or any combination of these.
We may directly or indirectly receive distributions from TRSs or
other corporations that are not REITs or qualified REIT
subsidiaries. These distributions will be classified as dividend
income to the extent of the earnings and profits of the
distributing corporation. Such distributions will generally
constitute qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross
income test, but not under the 75% gross income test. Any
dividends received by us from a REIT, however, will be
qualifying income for purposes of both the 95% and 75% income
tests.
Gross income from our sale of property that we hold primarily
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business is
excluded from both the numerator and the denominator in both
income tests. The following paragraphs discuss in greater detail
the manner in which the gross income tests will apply to us.
Rents from Real Property. Rent that we receive from
our real property will qualify as rents from real
property, which is qualifying income for purposes of the
75% and 95% gross income tests, only if the following conditions
are met:
|
|
|
|
|
First, the rent must not be based in whole or in part on the
income or profits of any person. Participating rent, however,
will qualify as rents from real property if it is
based on percentages of receipts or sales and the percentages:
(i) are fixed at the time the leases are entered into;
(ii) are not renegotiated during the term of the leases in
a manner that has the effect of basing rent on income or
profits; and (iii) conform with normal business practice.
|
More generally, rent will not qualify as rents from real
property if, considering the relevant lease and all of the
surrounding circumstances, the arrangement does not conform with
normal business practice, but in reality is used as a means of
basing the rent on income or profits. We intend to set and
accept rents which are fixed dollar amounts, and not to any
extent by reference to any persons income or profits, in
compliance with the rules described above.
|
|
|
|
|
Second, we must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or more
of the stock or the assets or net profits of any lessee,
referred to as a related party tenant, other than a TRS. The
constructive ownership rules generally provide that, if 10% or
more in value of our
|
233
|
|
|
|
|
shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for any person,
we are considered as owning the stock owned, directly or
indirectly, by or for such person.
|
We do not own any stock or any assets or net profits of any
lessee directly, except that we may lease office or other space
to our Services Company or another TRS. We believe that each of
the leases will conform with normal business practice, contain
arms length terms and that the rent payable under those
leases will be treated as rents from real property for purposes
of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. However, there can be no
assurance that the IRS will not successfully assert a contrary
position or that a change in circumstances will not cause a
portion of the rent payable under the leases to fail to qualify
as rents from real property. If such failures were
in sufficient amounts, we might not be able to satisfy either of
the 75% or 95% gross income tests and could lose our REIT
status. In addition, if the IRS successfully reapportions or
reallocates items of income, deduction, and credit among and
between us and a TRS in which we directly or indirectly own an
interest with respect to a lease or any intercompany transaction
because it determines that doing so is necessary to prevent the
evasion of taxes or to clearly reflect income, we could be
subject to a 100% excise tax on those amounts. As described
above, we may own one or more TRSs. Under an exception to the
related-party tenant rule described in the preceding paragraph,
rent that we receive from a TRS will qualify as rents from
real property as long as (i) at least 90% of the
leased space in the property is leased to persons other than
TRSs and related party tenants and (ii) the amount paid by
the TRS to rent space at the property is substantially
comparable to rents paid by other tenants of the property for
comparable space. If we receive rent from a TRS, we will seek to
comply with this exception.
|
|
|
|
|
Third, rent attributable to personal property leased in
connection with a lease of real property must not be greater
than 15% of the total rent received under the lease.
|
The rent attributable to personal property under a lease is the
amount that bears the same ratio to total rent under the lease
for the taxable year as the average of the fair market values of
the leased personal property at the beginning and at the end of
the taxable year bears to the average of the aggregate fair
market values of both the real and personal property covered by
the lease at the beginning and at the end of such taxable year,
or the personal property ratio. With respect to each
of our leases, we believe that the personal property ratio
generally is less than 15%. Where that is not, or may in the
future not be, the case, we believe that any income attributable
to personal property will not jeopardize our ability to qualify
as a REIT.
|
|
|
|
|
Fourth, we cannot furnish or render noncustomary services to the
tenants of our properties, or manage or operate our properties,
other than through an independent contractor who is adequately
compensated and from whom we do not derive or receive any
income. However, we need not provide services through an
independent contractor, but instead may provide
services directly to our tenants, if the services are
usually or customarily rendered in connection with
the rental of space for occupancy only and are not considered to
be provided for the tenants convenience. In addition, we
may provide a minimal amount of noncustomary
services to the tenants of a property, other than through an
independent contractor, as long as our income from the services
does not exceed 1% of our income from the related property.
Finally, we may own up to 100% of the stock of one or more TRSs,
which may provide noncustomary services to our tenants without
tainting our rents from the related properties.
|
We do not intend to perform any services other than customary
ones for our lessees, other than services provided through
independent contractors or TRSs.
If a portion of the rent we receive from a property does not
qualify as rents from real property because the rent
attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total rent
for a
234
taxable year, the portion of the rent attributable to personal
property will not be qualifying income for purposes of either
the 75% or 95% gross income test. If rent attributable to
personal property, plus any other income that is nonqualifying
income for purposes of the 95% gross income test, during a
taxable year exceeds 5% of our gross income during the year, we
would lose our REIT status.
By contrast, in the following circumstances, none of the rent
from a lease of property would qualify as rents from real
property: (i) the rent is considered based on the
income or profits of the lessee; (ii) the lessee is a
related party tenant or fails to qualify for the exception to
the related-party tenant rule for qualifying TRSs; or
(iii) we furnish noncustomary services to the tenants of
the property, or manage or operate the property, other than
through a qualifying independent contractor or a TRS, and our
income from the services exceeds 1% of our gross income from the
related property (for purposes of this test, the income received
from such noncustomary services is deemed to be at least 150% of
the direct cost of providing the services).
Tenants may be required to pay, in addition to base rent,
reimbursements for certain amounts we are obligated to pay to
third parties (such as utility and telephone companies),
penalties for nonpayment or late payment of rent, lease
application or administrative fees. These and other similar
payments should qualify as rents from real property.
Interest. The term interest generally
does not include any amount received or accrued, directly or
indirectly, if the determination of the amount depends in whole
or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an
amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from
the term interest solely because it is based on a
fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales.
Furthermore, in the case of a shared appreciation mortgage, any
additional interest received on a sale of the secured property
will be treated as gain from the sale of the secured property.
Prohibited Transactions. A REIT will incur a 100%
tax on the net income derived from any sale or other disposition
of property, other than foreclosure property, that the REIT
holds primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of
a trade or business. We do not have any current intention to
sell any of our properties. Even if we do sell any of our
properties, we believe that none of our assets will be held
primarily for sale to customers and that a sale of any of our
assets will not be in the ordinary course of our business.
Whether a REIT holds an asset primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business
depends, however, on the facts and circumstances in effect from
time to time, including those related to a particular asset.
Nevertheless, we will attempt to comply with the terms of safe-
harbor provisions in the federal income tax laws prescribing
when an asset sale will not be characterized as a prohibited
transaction.
Foreclosure Property. We will be subject to tax at
the maximum corporate rate on certain income from foreclosure
property. We do not own any foreclosure properties and do not
expect to own any foreclosure properties in the future. This
situation could only change in the future if we were to make
loans to third parties secured by real property.
Hedging Transactions. From time to time, we may
enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of
our assets or liabilities. Our hedging activities may include
entering into interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, options to
enter into any such arrangements, and futures and forward
contracts. Any periodic income or gain from the disposition of
any financial instrument for these or similar transactions to
hedge indebtedness we incur to acquire or carry real
estate assets should not count as gross income for
purposes of the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income
test, provided that certain requirements are met, including that
the instrument is properly identified within specified time
periods as a hedge along with the risk that it hedges.
235
Otherwise, the income and gain from hedging transactions will
generally constitute non-qualifying income both for purposes of
the 75% gross income test and the 95% gross income test. Since
the financial markets continually introduce new and innovative
instruments related to risk-sharing or trading, it is not
entirely clear which such instruments will generate income which
will be considered qualifying income for purposes of the gross
income tests. We intend to structure any hedging or similar
transactions so as to avoid jeopardizing our status as a REIT.
Failure to Satisfy Gross Income Tests
If we fail to satisfy one or both of the gross income tests for
any taxable year, we nevertheless may qualify as a REIT for that
year if we qualify for relief under certain provisions of the
federal income tax laws. Those relief provisions generally will
be available if:
|
|
|
|
|
our failure to meet the income tests was due to reasonable cause
and not due to willful neglect;
|
|
|
|
we attach a schedule of the sources of our income to our tax
return; and
|
|
|
|
any incorrect information on the schedule is not due to fraud
with intent to evade tax.
|
We cannot with certainty predict whether any failure to meet
these tests will qualify for relief. As discussed above in
Taxation of Our Company, even if the relief
provisions apply, we would incur a 100% tax on the gross income
attributable to the greater of the amounts by which we fail the
75% and 95% gross income tests, multiplied by a fraction
intended to reflect our profitability.
Asset Tests
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we also must satisfy
the following asset tests at the end of each quarter of each
taxable year:
|
|
|
|
|
first, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must
consist of: (i) cash or cash items, including certain
receivables; (ii) government securities;
(iii) interests in real property, including leaseholds and
options to acquire real property and leaseholds;
(iv) interests in mortgages on real property;
(v) stock in other REITs and (vi) investments in stock
or debt instruments during the one year period following our
receipt of new capital;
|
|
|
|
second, of our investments not included in the 75% asset class
other than TRSs, the value of our interest in any one
issuers securities may not exceed 5% of the value of our
total assets;
|
|
|
|
third, of our investments not included in the 75% asset class
other than TRSs, we may not own more than 10% of the voting
power of any one issuers outstanding securities;
|
|
|
|
fourth, of our investments not included in the 75% asset class
other than TRSs, we may not own more than 10% of the value of
any one issuers outstanding securities;
|
|
|
|
fifth, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may
consist of the securities of one or more TRSs; and
|
|
|
|
sixth, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may
consist of the securities of TRSs and other non-TRS taxable
subsidiaries and other assets that are not qualifying assets for
purposes of the 75% asset test.
|
236
For purposes of the fourth asset test above, the term
securities does not include any of the following:
(i) equity interests in a partnership; (ii) any loan
made to an individual or an estate; (iii) certain rental
agreements in which one or more payments are to be made in
subsequent years (other than agreements between a REIT and
certain persons related to the REIT); (iv) any obligation
to pay rents from real property; (v) securities issued by
governmental entities that are not dependent in whole or in part
on the profits of (or payments made by) a non-governmental
entity; (vi) any security issued by another REIT;
(vii) any debt instrument issued by a partnership if the
partnerships income is of a nature that it would satisfy
the 75% gross income test described above; and
(viii) straight debt securities. Straight debt
generally is defined as a promise to pay a sum certain with
interest that is not contingent on profits and which is not
convertible. A security will not qualify as straight
debt where a REIT (or a controlled TRS of the REIT) owns
other securities of the issuer of that security that do not
qualify as straight debt, unless the value of those other
securities constitute, in the aggregate, 1% or less of the total
value of that issuers outstanding securities. In applying
the 10% value test described above, a debt security issued by a
partnership to a REIT is not taken into account to the extent,
if any, of the REITs proportionate equity interest in the
partnership.
Certain relief provisions are available to a REIT that does not
satisfy the asset requirements. One such provision allows a REIT
which fails one or more of the asset requirements for a
particular quarter (other than de minimis violations of the 5%
and 10% asset tests as described below) to nevertheless maintain
its REIT qualifications if (i) it provides the IRS with a
description of each asset causing the failure for such quarter,
(ii) the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect, (iii) the REIT pays a tax equal to the greater of
(a) $50,000 per failure, and (b) the product of the
net income generated by the assets that caused the failure
multiplied by the highest applicable corporate tax rate
(currently 35%), and (iv) the REIT either disposes of the
assets causing the failure within 6 months after the last
day of the quarter in which it identifies the failure, or
otherwise satisfies the relevant asset tests within that time
frame.
In the case of the de minimis violations of the 10% and 5% asset
tests, a REIT may maintain its qualifications if (i) the
value of the assets causing the violation does not exceed the
lesser of 1% of the REITs total assets or $10 million
and (ii) the REIT either disposes of the assets causing the
failure within 6 months after the last day of the quarter
in which it identifies the failure, or the relevant tests are
otherwise satisfied within that time frame.
We will monitor the status of our assets for purposes of the
various asset tests and will manage our portfolio in order to
comply at all times with such tests. If we fail to satisfy the
asset tests at the end of a calendar quarter, we will not lose
our REIT status if:
|
|
|
|
|
we satisfied the asset tests at the end of the preceding
calendar quarter; and
|
|
|
|
the discrepancy between the value of our assets and the asset
test requirements arose from changes in the market values of our
assets and was not wholly or partly caused by the acquisition of
one or more non-qualifying assets.
|
If we did not satisfy the condition described in the second
item, above, we still could avoid disqualification by
eliminating any discrepancy within 30 days after the close
of the calendar quarter in which it arose.
Distribution
Requirements
Each taxable year, we must distribute dividends, other than
capital gain dividends and deemed distributions of retained
capital gains, to our stockholders in an aggregate amount not
less than the sum of: (i) 90% of our REIT taxable
income, computed without regard to the
237
dividends-paid deduction or our net capital gain or loss; and
(ii) 90% of our after-tax net income, if any, from
foreclosure property, minus the sum of certain items of non-cash
income.
We must pay such dividends in the taxable year to which they
relate, or can pay such dividends in the year subsequent to the
year to which they relate in the following two situations:
(i) we declare the dividend before we timely file our
federal income tax return for the year and pay the dividend on
or before the first regular dividend payment date after such
declaration; or (ii) we declare the dividend during, and
set the record date in, the last three months of a calendar year
while paying the dividend in January of the following year.
To the extent that we do not distribute all of our net capital
gains or distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our
real estate investment trust taxable income, as adjusted, we
will have to pay tax on those amounts at regular ordinary and
capital gains corporate tax rates. Furthermore, if we fail to
distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of
(i) 85% of our ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95%
of our capital gain net income for that year and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we would have
to pay a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of the
required dividend over the amounts actually distributed.
We may elect to retain and pay income tax on the net long-term
capital gains we receive in a taxable year. See
Taxation of Taxable U.S. Stockholders. If
we so elect, we will be treated as having distributed any such
retained amount for purposes of the 4% excise tax described
above. We intend to make timely dividends sufficient to satisfy
the annual dividend requirements and to avoid corporate income
tax and the 4% excise tax.
It is possible that, from time to time, we may experience timing
differences between the actual receipt of income and actual
payment of deductible expenses and the inclusion of that income
and deduction of such expenses in arriving at our REIT taxable
income. As a result of the foregoing, we may have less cash than
is necessary to distribute all of our taxable income and thereby
avoid corporate income tax and the excise tax imposed on certain
undistributed income. In such a situation, we may need to borrow
funds or issue additional common or preferred shares or pay
dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends.
Under certain circumstances, we may be able to correct a failure
to meet the distribution requirements for a year by paying
deficiency dividends to our stockholders in a later
year. We may include such deficiency dividends in our deduction
for dividends paid for the earlier year. Although we may be able
to avoid income tax on amounts distributed as deficiency
dividends, we will be required to pay interest and a penalty
based upon the amount of any deduction we take for deficiency
dividends.
Recordkeeping
Requirements
We must maintain certain records in order to qualify as a REIT.
In addition, to avoid paying a penalty, we must request on an
annual basis information from our stockholders designed to
disclose the actual ownership of the outstanding common stock.
We have complied and intend to continue to comply with these
requirements.
Accounting
Period
In order to elect to be taxed as a REIT, we must use a calendar
year accounting period. We intend to and will use the calendar
year as our accounting period for federal income tax purposes
for each and every year we intend to operate as a REIT.
238
Failure
to Qualify as a REIT
If we failed to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and no
relief provision applied, we would have the following
consequences. We would be subject to federal income tax and any
applicable alternative minimum tax at rates applicable to
regular C corporations on our taxable income, determined without
reduction for amounts distributed to stockholders. We would not
be required to make any distributions to stockholders, and any
dividends to stockholders would be taxable as ordinary income to
the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits
(which may be subject to tax at preferential rates to individual
stockholders). Corporate stockholders could be eligible for a
dividends-received deduction if certain conditions are
satisfied. Unless we qualified for relief under specific
statutory provisions, we would not be permitted to elect
taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year
during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT.
Taxable
REIT Subsidiaries
A TRS is any corporation in which a REIT directly or indirectly
owns stock, provided that the REIT and that corporation make a
joint election to treat that corporation as a TRS. The election
can be revoked at any time as long as the REIT and the TRS
revoke such election jointly. In addition, if a TRS holds
directly or indirectly, more than 35% of the securities of any
other corporation (by vote or by value), then that other
corporation is also treated as a TRS. A corporation can be a TRS
with respect to more than one REIT. We intend to make a TRS
election for our Services Companies. We will conduct our
development, construction and management services for third
parties through our Services Companies. We also will conduct
certain management services for own properties through our
Services Companies as necessary to satisfy the gross income
tests described below. The income earned by each Services
Company will be subject to regular federal corporate income or
franchise tax and state and local income tax where applicable
and will therefore be subject to an additional level of tax as
compared to the rental income earned from our properties. The
taxes imposed on our Services Companies may be material in
amount.
A TRS is subject to federal income tax at regular corporate
rates (maximum rate of 35%), and may also be subject to state
and local taxation. Any dividends paid by any one of our TRSs or
deemed received by us from any one of our TRSs will also be
subject to tax, either (i) to us if we do not pay the
dividends received to our stockholders as dividends, or
(ii) to our stockholders if we do pay out the dividends
received to our stockholders. Further, the rules impose a 100%
excise tax on transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT or
the REITs tenants that are not conducted on an arms
length basis. We may hold more than 10% of the stock of a TRS
without jeopardizing our qualification as a REIT notwithstanding
the rule described above under Requirements for
QualificationAsset Tests that generally precludes
ownership of more than 10% (by vote or value) of any
issuers securities. However, as noted below, in order for
us to qualify as a REIT, the securities of all of the TRSs in
which we have invested either directly or indirectly may not
represent more than 25% of the total value of our assets. We
expect that the aggregate value of all of our interests in TRSs
will represent less than 25% of the total value of our assets,
and will, to the extent necessary, limit the activities of the
Services Companies or take other actions necessary to satisfy
the 25% value limit. We cannot, however, assure that we will
always satisfy the 25% value limit or that the IRS will agree
with the value we assign to the Services Companies and any other
TRS in which we own an interest.
A TRS is not permitted to directly or indirectly operate or
manage a lodging facility. A lodging
facility is defined as a hotel, motel or other
establishment more than one-half of the dwelling units in which
are used on a transient basis. We have been advised by
counsel that our Services Company will not be considered to
operate or manage a lodging facility. Although the Services
Company is expected to lease certain of our student housing
properties on a short term
239
basis during the summer months and occasionally during other
times of the year, we have been advised that such limited short
term leasing will not cause the Services Company to be
considered to directly or indirectly operate or manage a lodging
facility. Counsels opinion is based in part on Treasury
Regulations interpreting similar language applicable to other
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Treasury Regulations or
other guidance specifically adopted for purposes of the TRS
provisions might take a different approach, and, even absent
such guidance, the IRS might take a view contrary to that of
counsel. In such an event, we might be forced to change our
method of operating the Services Company, which could adversely
affect us, or could cause the Services Company to fail to
qualify as a TRS, in which event we could fail to qualify as a
REIT.
We may engage in activities indirectly though a TRS as necessary
or convenient to avoid receiving the benefit of income or
services that would jeopardize our REIT status if we engaged in
the activities directly. In particular, we would likely engage
in activities through a TRS for providing services that are
non-customary and services to unrelated parties (such as our
third-party construction, development and management services)
that might produce income that does not qualify under the gross
income tests described below. We might also hold certain
properties in the Services Company, such as our interest in
certain of the leasehold properties if we determine that the
ownership structure of such properties may produce income that
would not qualify for purposes of the REIT income tests
described below.
Taxation
of Taxable U.S. Stockholders
As used in this section, the term
U.S. stockholder means a holder of common stock
who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:
|
|
|
|
|
a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
|
|
|
|
a domestic corporation;
|
|
|
|
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income
taxation regardless of its source; or
|
|
|
|
a trust if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision
over the trusts administration and one or more
U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust.
|
As long as we qualify as a REIT, distributions made by us out of
our current or accumulated earnings and profits, and not
designated as capital gain dividends, will constitute dividends
taxable to our taxable U.S. stockholders as ordinary
income. Under current law, individuals receiving qualified
dividends, dividends from domestic and certain qualifying
foreign subchapter C corporations, may be entitled to the new
lower rates on dividends (at rates applicable to long-term
capital gains, currently at a maximum rate of 15%) provided
certain holding period requirements are met. However,
individuals receiving dividend distributions from us, a REIT,
will generally not be eligible for the lower rates on dividends
except with respect to the portion of any distribution which
(i) represents dividends being passed through to us from a
corporation in which we own shares (but only if such dividends
would be eligible for the lower rates on dividends if paid by
the corporation to its individual stockholders), including
dividends from our TRS, (ii) which is equal to our REIT
taxable income (taking into account the dividends paid deduction
available to us) less any taxes paid by us on these items during
our previous taxable year or (iii) are attributable to
built-in gains realized and recognized by us from disposition of
properties acquired by us in non-recognition transaction, less
any taxes paid by us on these items during our previous taxable
year. Dividends of this kind will not be eligible for the
dividends received deduction in the case of taxable
U.S. stockholders that are corporations.
240
Dividends made by us that we properly designate as capital gain
dividends will be taxable to taxable U.S. stockholders as
gain from the sale of a capital asset held for more than one
year, to the extent that they do not exceed our actual net
capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period
for which a taxable U.S. stockholder has held his common
stock. Thus, with certain limitations, capital gain dividends
received by an individual taxable U.S. stockholder may be
eligible for preferential rates of taxation. Taxable
U.S. stockholders that are corporations may, however, be
required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as
ordinary income.
To the extent that we make distributions in excess of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits, these
distributions will be treated first as a non-taxable return of
capital to each taxable U.S. stockholder. Thus, these
distributions will reduce the basis which the taxable
U.S. stockholder has in our common stock for tax purposes
by the amount of the distribution, but not below zero. Such
distributions in excess of a taxable
U.S. stockholders basis in his or her common stock
will be taxable as capital gains, provided that the common stock
has been held as a capital asset.
Dividends authorized by us in October, November, or December of
any year and payable to a stockholder of record on a specified
date in any of these months will be treated as both paid by us
and received by the stockholder on December 31 of that year,
provided that we actually pay the dividend in January of the
following calendar year. Stockholders may not include in their
own income tax returns any of our net operating losses or
capital losses.
We may elect to retain, rather than distribute, all or a portion
of our net long-term capital gains and pay the tax on such
gains. If we make such an election, we will designate amounts as
undistributed capital gains in respect of your shares or
beneficial interests by written notice to you which we will mail
out to you with our annual report or at any time within
60 days after December 31 of any year. When we make such an
election, taxable U.S. stockholders holding common stock at
the close of our taxable year will be required to include, in
computing their long-term capital gains for the taxable year in
which the last day of our taxable year falls, the amount that we
designate in a written notice mailed to our stockholders. We may
not designate amounts in excess of our undistributed net capital
gain for the taxable year. Each taxable U.S. stockholder
required to include the designated amount in determining the
stockholders long-term capital gains will be deemed to
have paid, in the taxable year of the inclusion, the tax paid by
us in respect of the undistributed net capital gains. Taxable
U.S. stockholders to whom these rules apply will be allowed
a credit or a refund, as the case may be, for the tax they are
deemed to have paid. Taxable U.S. stockholders will
increase their basis in their common stock by the difference
between the amount of the includible gains and the tax deemed
paid by the stockholder in respect of these gains.
Dividends made by us and gain arising from a taxable
U.S. stockholders sale or exchange of our common
stock will not be treated as passive activity income. As a
result, taxable U.S. stockholders generally will not be
able to apply any passive losses against that income or gain.
When a taxable U.S. stockholder sells or otherwise disposes
of our common stock, the stockholder will recognize gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair
market value of any property received on the sale or other
disposition and (ii) the holders adjusted basis in
the common stock for tax purposes. This gain or loss will be
capital gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held the
common stock as a capital asset. The gain or loss will be
long-term gain or loss if the U.S. stockholder has held the
common stock for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of
an individual taxable U.S. stockholder is generally taxed
at preferential rates. The highest marginal individual income
tax rate is currently 35%. The current maximum tax rate on
long-term
241
capital gains applicable to individuals is 15% for sales and
exchanges of assets held for more than one year. The maximum tax
rate on long-term capital gains from the sale or exchange of
section 1250 property (i.e., generally,
depreciable real property) is 25% to the extent the gain would
have been treated as ordinary income if the property were
section 1245 property (i.e., generally,
depreciable personal property). We generally may designate
whether a distribution we designate as capital gain dividends
(and any retained capital gain that we are deemed to distribute)
is taxable to non-corporate stockholders at a 15% or 25% rate.
The characterization of income as capital gain or ordinary
income may affect the deductibility of a stockholders capital
losses. A non-corporate taxpayer may deduct capital losses not
offset by capital gains against its ordinary income only up to a
maximum of $3,000 annually and may carry unused capital losses
forward indefinitely. A corporate taxpayer must pay tax on its
net capital gains at corporate ordinary-income rates. A
corporate taxpayer may deduct capital losses only to the extent
of capital gains, with unused losses carried back three years
and forward five years. In general, any loss recognized by a
taxable U.S. stockholder when the stockholder sells or
otherwise disposes of our common stock that the stockholder has
held for six months or less, after applying certain holding
period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to
the extent of dividends received by the stockholder from us
which were required to be treated as long-term capital gains.
Information Reporting Requirements and Backup
Withholding
We will report to our stockholders and to the IRS the amount of
dividends we pay during each calendar year and the amount of tax
we withhold, if any. A stockholder may be subject to backup
withholding at a rate of 28% with respect to dividends unless
the holder:
|
|
|
|
|
is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories
and, when required, demonstrates this fact; or
|
|
|
|
provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no
loss of exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise
complies with the applicable requirements of the backup
withholding rules.
|
A stockholder who does not provide us with its correct taxpayer
identification number also may be subject to penalties imposed
by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup withholding will be
creditable against the stockholders U.S. federal
income tax liability. In addition, we may be required to
withhold a portion of capital gain dividends to any stockholders
who fail to certify their non-foreign status to us. For a
discussion of the backup withholding rules as applied to
non-U.S. stockholders,
see Taxation of
Non-U.S. Stockholders.
Taxation
of Tax-Exempt Stockholders
Amounts distributed as dividends by a REIT generally do not
constitute unrelated business taxable income when received by a
tax-exempt entity. Provided that a tax-exempt stockholder is not
one of the types of entity described in the next paragraph and
has not held its common stock as debt financed
property within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code,
and the common stock is not otherwise used in a trade or
business, the dividend income from the common stock will not be
unrelated business taxable income to a tax-exempt stockholder.
Similarly, income from the sale of common stock will not
constitute unrelated business taxable income unless the
tax-exempt stockholder has held the common stock as debt
financed property within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code or has used the common stock in a trade or business.
Income from an investment in our common stock will constitute
unrelated business taxable income for tax-exempt stockholders
that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations,
supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group
legal services plans exempt from
242
federal income taxation under the applicable subsections of
Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, unless the
organization is able to properly deduct amounts set aside or
placed in reserve for certain purposes so as to offset the
income generated by its common stock. Prospective investors of
the types described in the preceding sentence should consult
their own tax advisors concerning these set aside
and reserve requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a portion of the
dividends paid by a pension-held REIT will be
treated as unrelated business taxable income to any trust which:
|
|
|
|
|
is described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;
|
|
|
|
is tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code; and
|
|
|
|
holds more than 10% (by value) of the equity interests in the
REIT.
|
Tax-exempt pension, profit-sharing and stock bonus funds that
are described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code are referred to below as qualified trusts. A
REIT is a pension-held REIT if:
|
|
|
|
|
it would not have qualified as a REIT but for the fact that
Section 856(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code provides
that stock owned by qualified trusts will be treated, for
purposes of the not closely held requirement, as
owned by the beneficiaries of the trust (rather than by the
trust itself); and
|
|
|
|
either (a) at least one qualified trust holds more than 25%
by value of the interests in the REIT or (b) one or more
qualified trusts, each of which owns more than 10% by value of
the interests in the REIT, hold in the aggregate more than 50%
by value of the interests in the REIT.
|
The percentage of any REIT dividend treated as unrelated
business taxable income to a qualifying trust is equal to the
ratio of (i) the gross income of the REIT from unrelated
trades or businesses, determined as though the REIT were a
qualified trust, less direct expenses related to this gross
income, to (ii) the total gross income of the REIT, less
direct expenses related to the total gross income. An exception
applies for years in which the percentage is less than 5%. We do
not expect to be classified as a pension-held REIT, but this
cannot be guaranteed.
The rules described above in Taxation of Taxable
U.S. Stockholders concerning the inclusion of our
designated undistributed net capital gains in the income of our
stockholders will apply to tax-exempt entities. Thus, tax-exempt
entities will be allowed a credit or refund of the tax deemed
paid by these entities in respect of the includible gains.
Taxation
of
Non-U.S. Stockholders
The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of
nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign
partnerships, and other foreign stockholders are complex. This
section is only a summary of such rules. We urge
non-U.S. stockholders
to consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact of
federal, state, and local income tax laws on ownership of common
stock, including any reporting requirements.
Ordinary Dividends. Dividends paid to
non-U.S. stockholders,
other than dividends that are distributions treated as
attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by us of
U.S. real property interests, or USRPI, as
discussed below, generally will be, to the extent that they are
made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits,
subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of
243
the gross amount of the dividend, unless an applicable tax
treaty reduces that tax. However, if income from the investment
in the common stock is treated as effectively connected with the
non-U.S. stockholders
conduct of a U.S. trade or business or is attributable to a
permanent establishment that the
non-U.S. stockholder
maintains in the United States, if that is required by an
applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting the
non-U.S. stockholder
to U.S. taxation on a net income basis, tax at graduated
rates will generally apply to the
non-U.S. stockholder
in the same manner as U.S. stockholders are taxed with
respect to dividends, and the 30% (or lower treaty rate) branch
profits tax may also apply if the stockholder is a foreign
corporation. We expect to withhold U.S. tax at the rate of
30% on the gross amount of any dividends, other than dividends
treated as attributable to gain from sales or exchanges of
USRPIs, paid to a
non-U.S. stockholder,
unless (i) a lower treaty rate applies and the required
form evidencing eligibility for that reduced rate (ordinarily,
IRS
Form W-8
BEN) is filed with us or the appropriate withholding agent
(ii) the recipient is a foreign sovereign, or an agency or
instrumentality of a foreign sovereign and the requested form
(IRS
Form W-8BEN)
is filed with us to claim exemption from withholding, or
(iii) the
non-U.S. stockholder
files an IRS
Form W-8
ECI or a successor form with us or the appropriate withholding
agent claiming that the dividends are effectively connected with
the
non-U.S. stockholders
conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Dividends to a
non-U.S. stockholder
that are designated by us at the time of dividend as capital
gain dividends which are not attributable to or treated as
attributable to the disposition by us of a USRPI interest
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income
taxation, except as described below.
Non-Dividend Distributions. If, as we anticipate,
our common stock does not constitute a USRPI (as described under
Sale of Common Stock), distributions by us
which are not dividends out of our earnings and profits will not
be subject to U.S. income tax. If it cannot be determined
at the time at which a distribution is made whether or not the
distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and
profits, the distribution will be subject to withholding at the
rate applicable to dividends. A
non-U.S. stockholder
may apply to the IRS for a refund of the amounts withheld if it
is subsequently determined that the distribution was in excess
of our current and accumulated earnings and profits.
If our stock constitutes a USRPI, as described below under
Sale of Common Stock distributions in excess
of our earnings and profits, to the extent they exceed a
non-U.S. stockholders
basis in common stock, will be treated as gain from the sale or
exchange of such stock and be taxed under the Foreign Investment
in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, or
FIRPTA, as a gain from the sale of the common stock.
Distributions Attributable to Gains from Sales of
USRPIs. For any year in which we qualify as a REIT,
dividends that are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges
by us of USRPIs will be taxed to a
non-U.S. stockholder
under FIRPTA. These dividends are taxed to a
non-U.S. stockholder
as if the gain were effectively connected with a
U.S. business, thereby taxing
non-U.S. stockholders
on these dividends at the normal capital gain rates applicable
to U.S. stockholders, subject to the alternative minimum
tax rates applicable to
non-U.S. stockholders
that are individuals (20% of the lesser of the gains or
alternative minimum taxable income not in excess of $175,000 and
28% of such amount in excess of $175,000). We are required to
withhold at the maximum tax rate applicable to corporations
(currently 35%) of any such distribution attributable to gains
from sales or exchanges of USRPIs. The
non-U.S. stockholder
may credit the amount withheld against its U.S. tax
liability and apply for a refund to the extent the amount
withheld exceeds the
non-U.S. stockholders
U.S. tax liability.
A distribution that otherwise would have been subject to
withholding under the rules described in the preceding
paragraph, is not treated as gain from the sale of a
U.S. real property interest taxed at normal capital gain
rates applicable to U.S. stockholders, and will instead by
244
treated the same as an ordinary dividend, provided that (i) the
capital gain dividend is received with respect to a class of
stock that is regularly traded on an established securities
market located in the United States, and (ii) the recipient
non-U.S. stockholder
does not own more than 5% of that class of stock at any time
during the one-year period ending on the date on which the
capital gain dividend is received.
Sale of Common Stock. Gain recognized by a
non-U.S. stockholder
on the sale of stock in a U.S. corporation may be subject
to tax under FIRPTA if the stock constitutes a USRPI. Stock in a
U.S. corporation generally constitutes a USRPI if 50% or
more of the corporations assets consists of interests in
real property. Gain recognized by a
non-U.S. stockholder
upon a sale or exchange of our common stock generally will not
be taxed under the FIRPTA if we are a domestically
controlled REIT, defined generally as a REIT, less than
50% in value of whose stock is and was held directly or
indirectly by foreign persons at all times during a specified
testing period. We believe that we will be a domestically
controlled REIT, and, therefore, the sale of stock by a
non-U.S. stockholder
will not be subject to U.S. tax. Because our stock is
publicly traded, however, no assurance can be given that we will
qualify as a domestically controlled REIT at any time in the
future.
Even if we were not a domestically controlled REIT, FIRPTA would
not apply to a
non-U.S. stockholders
sale of common stock if the selling
non-U.S. stockholder
owned 5% or less of the class of common stock sold at any time
during a specified period. This period is generally the shorter
of the period that the
non-U.S. stockholder
owned the common stock sold or the
five-year
period ending on the date when the
non-U.S. stockholder
disposed of the common stock. If FIRPTA applies to a
non-U.S. stockholders
sale of our common stock, the
non-U.S. stockholder
would be subject to the same treatment as applicable to
U.S. stockholders with respect to the gain, subject to any
applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative
minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals.
Gain resulting from the sale of our common stock by a
non-U.S. person
that is not subject to FIRPTA is not taxable to a
non-U.S. stockholder
unless its investment in the common stock is treated as
effectively connected with the
non-U.S. stockholders
U.S. trade or business or is attributable to a permanent
establishment that the
non-U.S. stockholder
maintains in the United States, if that is required by an
applicable income tax treaty as a condition for subjecting the
non-U.S. stockholder
to U.S. taxation on a net income basis, in which cases, the
same treatment will apply to the
non-U.S. stockholder
as to U.S. stockholders with respect to the gain. In
addition, gain to which the FIRPTA does not apply will be
taxable to a
non-U.S. stockholder
if the
non-U.S. stockholder
is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United
States for 183 days or more during the taxable year to
which the gain is attributable.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
The sale of our common stock by a
non-U.S. stockholder
through a
non-U.S. office
of a broker generally will not be subject to information
reporting or backup withholding. The sale generally is subject
to the same information reporting applicable to sales through a
U.S. office of a U.S. or foreign broker if the sale of
common stock is effected at a foreign office of a broker that is:
|
|
|
|
|
a U.S. person;
|
|
|
|
a controlled foreign corporation for U.S. tax purposes;
|
|
|
|
a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income is
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business for a specified three-year period; or
|
245
|
|
|
|
|
a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year:
(i) one or more of its partners are
U.S. persons, as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations, who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the
income or capital interest in the partnership; or (ii) such
foreign partnership is engaged in the conduct of a
U.S. trade or business,
|
Backup withholding generally does not apply if the broker does
not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a
United States person and the applicable documentation
requirements are satisfied. Generally, a
non-U.S. stockholder
satisfies the information reporting requirements by providing
IRS
form W-8BEN
or an acceptable substitute. The application of information
reporting and backup withholding varies depending on the
stockholders particular circumstances, and therefore a
non-U.S. stockholder
is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the applicable
information reporting and backup withholding.
Tax
Aspects of Our Investments in Our Operating
Partnership
The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to our direct or indirect investment
in our operating partnership and any subsidiary partnerships or
limited liability companies we form or acquire, each
individually referred to as a partnership and, collectively, as
partnerships. The following discussion does not address state or
local tax laws or any federal tax laws other than income tax
laws.
Classification
as Partnerships
We are entitled to include in our income our distributive share
of each partnerships income and to deduct our distributive
share of each partnerships losses only if such partnership
is classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership,
rather than as a corporation or an association taxable as a
corporation. An organization with at least two owners or
partners will be classified as a partnership, rather than as a
corporation, for federal income tax purposes if it:
|
|
|
|
|
is treated as a partnership under the Treasury Regulations
relating to entity classification, or the
check-the-box
regulations; and
|
|
|
|
is not a publicly traded partnership.
|
Under the
check-the-box
regulations, an unincorporated entity with at least two owners
or partners may elect to be classified either as an association
taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. If such an entity
does not make an election, it generally will be treated as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.
We intend that each partnership in which we own an interest will
be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
(or as a disregarded entity where there are not at least two
separate beneficial owners).
A publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests
are traded on an established securities market or are readily
tradable on a secondary market (or a substantial equivalent). A
publicly traded partnership is generally treated as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, but will not be so
treated for any taxable year for which at least 90% of the
partnerships gross income consists of specified passive
income, including real property rents, gains from the sale or
other disposition of real property, interest, and dividends, or
the 90% passive income exception. Treasury
regulations provide limited safe harbors from treatment as a
publicly traded partnership. Pursuant to one of those safe
harbors, or private placement exclusion, interests in a
partnership will not be treated as readily tradable on a
secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if
(i) all interests in the partnership were issued in a
transaction or transactions
246
that were not required to be registered under the Securities
Act, and (ii) the partnership does not have more than 100
partners at any time during the partnerships taxable year.
We expect that each partnership we own an interest in will
qualify for the private placement exclusion, one of the other
safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership,
and/or will
satisfy the 90% passive income exception.
Income
Taxation of the Partnerships and their Partners
We own interests in our operating partnership and certain
subsidiary partnerships. Entities in which we own 100% of the
interests (directly or through other disregarded entities) will
be disregarded for federal income tax purposes and will be
treated as a division of our business. In addition we may hold
interests in partnerships or limited liability companies that
are not disregarded entities, or partnership or
partnerships.
Partners, Not the Partnerships, Subject to Tax. A
partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax
purposes. We will therefore take into account our allocable
share of each partnerships income, gains, losses,
deductions, and credits for each taxable year of the partnership
ending with or within our taxable year, even if we receive no
distribution from the partnership for that year or a
distribution less than our share of taxable income. Similarly,
even if we receive a distribution, it may not be taxable if the
distribution does not exceed our adjusted tax basis in our
interest in the partnership.
Partnership Allocations. Although a partnership
agreement generally will determine the allocation of income and
losses among partners, allocations will be disregarded for tax
purposes if they do not comply with the provisions of the
federal income tax laws governing partnership allocations. If an
allocation is not recognized for federal income tax purposes,
the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in
accordance with the partners interests in the partnership,
which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts
and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the
partners with respect to such item. Each partnerships
allocations of taxable income, gain, and loss are intended to
comply with the requirements of the federal income tax laws
governing partnership allocations.
The partnerships basis for federal income tax purposes in
property contributed to the partnership pursuant to the
contribution agreements with MXT Capital and the third-party
investors will be determined in whole or in part by reference to
the basis of the property prior to the contributions, rather
than the fair market value of the property on the date of the
contributions. However, the partnerships basis in property
contributed to the partnership pursuant to the contribution
agreement will be increased by $3.3 million that MXT
Capital receives from the net proceeds of this offering (which
will be used entirely to repay indebtedness), allocated among
the various assets contributed by MXT Capital in accordance with
their fair market values at the time of contribution. The
partnerships depreciation deductions with respect to the
property will be the applicable percentage of its federal income
tax basis in the property. The partnership is required to
account for the difference between its basis in property and the
fair market value on the date of contribution under one of the
methods prescribed by Treasury Regulations promulgated under
Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The tax
protection agreement will require the partnership to use the
traditional method as defined in the applicable Treasury
Regulations with respect to the student housing properties that
have
built-in
gain as of the closing date of this offering. Under the
traditional method, the depreciation deductions allocable to us
will be limited to the depreciation deductions allowable to the
partnership for federal income tax purposes and might cause the
depreciation for federal income tax purposes allocated to us to
be less than the depreciation that would have been allocated to
us had the partnership used one of the other methods allowed
under the Treasury Regulations, thereby increasing our taxable
income.
247
Sale of a Partnerships Property. Generally,
any gain realized by a partnership on the sale of property held
for more than one year will be long-term capital gain, except
for any portion of the gain treated as depreciation or cost
recovery recapture. Conversely, our share of any partnership
gain from the sale of inventory or other property held primarily
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the
partnerships trade or business will be treated as income
from a prohibited transaction subject to a 100% tax. Income from
a prohibited transaction may have an adverse effect on our
ability to satisfy the gross income tests for REIT status. See
Requirements for Qualification. We do not
presently intend to acquire or hold, or to allow any partnership
to acquire or hold, any property that is likely to be treated as
inventory or property held primarily for sale to customers in
the ordinary course of our, or the Partnerships, trade or
business.
State
and Local Taxes
We and/or
our stockholders may be subject to taxation by various states
and localities, including those in which we or a stockholder
transacts business, owns property or resides. The state and
local tax treatment may differ from the federal income tax
treatment described above. Consequently, stockholders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and
local tax laws upon an investment in our common stock.
248
ERISA
CONSIDERATIONS
A fiduciary of a pension, profit sharing, retirement or other
employee benefit plan, or plan, subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or
ERISA, should consider the fiduciary standards under
ERISA in the context of the plans particular circumstances
before authorizing an investment of a portion of such
plans assets in our common stock.
Accordingly, such fiduciary should consider (i) whether the
investment satisfies the diversification requirements of
Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, (ii) whether the
investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments
governing the plan as required by Section 404(a)(1)(D) of
ERISA and (iii) whether the investment is prudent under
ERISA. In addition to the imposition of general fiduciary
standards of investment prudence and diversification, ERISA, and
the corresponding provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
prohibit a wide range of transactions involving the assets of
the plan and persons who have certain specified relationships to
the plan (parties in interest within the meaning of
ERISA, disqualified persons within the meaning of
the Internal Revenue Code). Thus, a plan fiduciary considering
an investment in our common stock also should consider whether
the acquisition or the continued holding of the shares might
constitute or give rise to a direct or indirect prohibited
transaction that is not subject to an exemption issued by the
Department of Labor, or the DOL. Similar
restrictions apply to many governmental and foreign plans which
are not subject to ERISA. Thus, those considering investing in
the shares on behalf of such a plan should consider whether the
acquisition or the continued holding of the shares might violate
any such similar restrictions.
The DOL has issued final regulations, or the DOL
Regulations, as to what constitutes assets of an employee
benefit plan under ERISA. Under the DOL Regulations, if a plan
acquires an equity interest in an entity, which interest is
neither a publicly offered security nor a security
issued by an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act, the plans assets would include, for purposes
of the fiduciary responsibility provision of ERISA, both the
equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the
entitys underlying assets unless certain specified
exceptions apply. The DOL Regulations define a publicly offered
security as a security that is widely held,
freely transferable, and either part of a class of
securities registered under the Exchange Act, or sold pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
(provided the securities are registered under the Exchange Act
within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the
issuer during which the public offering occurred). The shares
are being sold in an offering registered under the Securities
Act and will be registered under the Exchange Act.
The DOL Regulations provide that a security is widely
held only if it is part of a class of securities that is
owned by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of
one another. A security will not fail to be widely
held because the number of independent investors tails
below 100 subsequent to the initial public offering as a result
of events beyond the issuers control. We expect our common
stock to be widely held upon completion of this
offering.
The DOL Regulations provide that whether a security is
freely transferable is a factual question to be
determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances,
the DOL Regulations further provide that when a security is part
of an offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or
less, as is the case with this offering, certain restrictions
ordinarily will not, alone or in combination, affect the finding
that such securities are freely transferable. We
believe that the restrictions imposed under our declaration of
trust on the transfer of our shares are limited to the
restrictions on transfer generally permitted under the DOL
Regulations and are not likely to result in the failure of the
common stock to be freely transferable. The DOL
249
Regulations only establish a presumption in favor of the finding
of free transferability, and, therefore, no assurance can be
given that the DOL will not reach a contrary conclusion.
Assuming that the common stock will be widely held
and freely transferable, we believe that our common
stock will be publicly offered securities for purposes of the
DOL Regulations and that our assets will not be deemed to be
plan assets of any plan that invests in our common
stock.
Each holder of our common stock will be deemed to have
represented and agreed that its purchase and holding of such
common stock (or any interest therein) will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

approximately $5.3 million. We will pay Raymond
James & Associates, Inc. a fee of $1,465,000 for

Overallotment
Option
We have granted an option to the underwriters to purchase up to
4,250,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public
offering price, less the underwriting discount. The underwriters
may exercise this option for 30 days from the date of this
prospectus solely to cover any overallotments. If the
underwriters exercise this option, each will be obligated,
subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement,
to purchase a number of additional shares of our common stock
proportionate to that underwriters initial amount
reflected in the above table.
Purchases
by Directors, Officers and Employees
At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to five
percent (5%) of the shares of our common stock offered by this
prospectus for sale to our directors, officers, employees and
certain other persons associated with us at the public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. These
persons must commit to purchase from an underwriter or selected
dealer at the same time as the general public. The number of
shares of our common stock available for sale to the general
public will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase the
reserved shares of our common stock. Any reserved shares of our
common stock purchased by our directors or executive officers in
this offering will be subject to the
lock-up
agreements described below. We are not making loans to any of
our directors, employees or other persons to purchase such
shares of our common stock.
No Sales
of Similar Securities
We, each of our executive officers and directors and MXT Capital
have agreed with the underwriters not to offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock
(including OP units) or any rights to acquire common stock for a
period of one year after the date of this prospectus without
first obtaining the written consent of Raymond James &
Associates, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs
& Co., Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC Capital Markets
Corporation.
252
Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with
certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly:
|
|
|
|
|
offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any common stock;
|
|
|
|
sell any option or contract to purchase any common stock;
|
|
|
|
purchase any option or contract to sell any common stock;
|
|
|
|
grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any common
stock;
|
|
|
|
lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock;
|
|
|
|
request or demand that we file a registration statement related
to the common stock; or
|
|
|
|
enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole
or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any common
stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by
delivery of shares of our common stock or other securities, in
cash or otherwise.
|
This lock-up
provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with common
stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or acquired
later by the person executing the agreement or for which the
person executing the agreement later acquires the power of
disposition.
In the event that either (i) during the last 17 days
of the
lock-up
period referred to above, we issue an earnings release or
material news or a material event relating to us occurs or
(ii) prior to the expiration of the
lock-up
period, we announce that we will release earnings results or
become aware that material news or a material event will occur
during the
16-day
period beginning on the last day of the
lock-up
period, the restrictions described above shall continue to apply
until the expiration of the
18-day
period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the
occurrence of the material news or material event.
New York
Stock Exchange Listing
Our common stock has been approved for listing on the NYSE under
the symbol CCG, subject to official notice of
issuance. In order to meet the requirements for listing on that
exchange, the underwriters have undertaken to sell a minimum
number of shares of our common stock to a minimum number of
beneficial owners as required by that exchange.
Determination
of Offering Price
Before this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. The initial public offering price will be
determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters.
In addition to prevailing market conditions, the factors to be
considered in determining the initial public offering price are:
|
|
|
|
|
the valuation multiples of publicly traded companies that the
underwriters believe to be comparable to us;
|
|
|
|
our financial information;
|
|
|
|
the history of, and the prospects for, us and the industry in
which we compete;
|
253
|
|
|
|
|
an assessment of our management, its past and present
operations, and the prospects for, and timing of, our future
revenues;
|
|
|
|
the present state of our development; and
|
|
|
|
the above factors in relation to market values and various
valuation measures of other companies engaged in activities
similar to ours.
|
An active trading market for our common stock may not develop.
It is also possible that after this offering our common stock
will not trade in the public market at or above the initial
public offering price.
The underwriters do not expect to sell more than 5% of the
shares in the aggregate to accounts over which they exercise
discretionary authority.
Price
Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
Until the distribution of our shares of common stock is
completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group
members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock.
However, the underwriters may engage in transactions that
stabilize the price of the common stock, such as bids or
purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase
and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions
may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover
positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of shares of our common stock than they are required to
purchase in this offering. Covered short sales are
sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters
overallotment option described above. The underwriters may close
out any covered short position by either exercising their
overallotment option or purchasing shares of our common stock in
the open market. In determining the source of shares of our
common stock to close out the covered short position, the
underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of
shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open
market as compared to the price at which they may purchase
shares of our common stock through the overallotment option.
Naked short sales are sales in excess of the
overallotment option. The underwriters must close out any naked
short position by purchasing shares of our common stock in the
open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created
if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward
pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market
after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase
in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various
bids for or purchases of shares of our common stock made by the
underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this
offering.
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of
the underwriting discount received by it because the
underwriters have repurchased shares sold by or for the account
of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions.
Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters
purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect
of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock
or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our
common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be
higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open
market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the
NYSE, in the
over-the-counter
market or otherwise.
254
Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation
or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect
that the transactions described above may have on the price of
our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the
underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will
engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once
commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Electronic
Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares
In connection with this offering, certain of the underwriters or
securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic
means, such as
e-mail. In
addition, the underwriters may facilitate Internet distribution
for this offering to certain of its Internet subscription
customers. The underwriters may allocate a limited number of
shares of our common stock for sale to their online brokerage
customers. An electronic prospectus may be available on websites
maintained by the underwriters. Other than the prospectus in
electronic format, the information on the underwriters
websites is not part of this prospectus.
Other
Relationships
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full
service financial institutions engaged in various activities,
which may include securities trading, commercial and investment
banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment
research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage
activities. Some of the underwriters and their respective
affiliates have in the past and may in the future engage in
investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary
course of business with us or our affiliates and may in the
future receive customary fees and commissions for these
transactions. We will also pay Raymond James & Associates,
Inc. a fee of $1,465,000 for services rendered in connection
with various financing and purchase and sale arrangements.
In addition to the underwriting discount to be received by our
underwriters in connection with this offering, we expect that
affiliates of Raymond James & Associates, Inc.,
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Barclays Capital Inc. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation will
be lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility
that will become effective immediately upon completion of this
offering and satisfaction of customary loan closing conditions.
In addition, on August 4, 2010, the preferred membership
interest issued by CC-Encore was assigned by Encore to RJRC, LLC
for consideration of $2.35 million. RJRC, LLC is a limited
liability company established to make investments in real estate
and related financial instruments, and is owned by certain
associated persons of Raymond James & Associates,
Inc., Encore and other third party investors. We will purchase
the preferred membership interest for $3.9 million out of
the net proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, due to the
ownership interest of associated persons of Raymond
James & Associates, Inc. in RJRC, LLC, the
$1.55 million difference in the amount that RJRC, LLC paid
for the preferred membership interest and the amount that RJRC,
LLC will sell the preferred membership for is an item of value
to Raymond James & Associates, Inc. under the
applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the
underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a
broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial
instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for
the accounts of their customers, and such investment and
securities activities may involve securities
and/or
instruments of ours. The underwriters and their respective
affiliates may also make investment recommendations
and/or
publish or express independent
255
research views in respect of such securities or instruments and
may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire,
long and/or
short positions in such securities and instruments.

subject to obtaining the prior consent of the underwriters for
any such offer; or
(iv) in any other circumstances which do not require the
publication by the issuer of a prospectus pursuant to
Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

offer of shares to the public in relation to any
shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in
any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms
of the offer and the shares to be offered so as to enable an
investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the shares, as the
same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure
implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member
State and the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive
2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in
each Relevant Member State.
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:
(i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated
and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an
invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000, or the FSMA) received by it in

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010
and for the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented as
if this offering by Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (the
Company) of approximately 28,333,333 million
shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (this
offering), our formation transactions and the debt
repayment transactions all had occurred on June 30, 2010
for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated balance sheet and on the first day of the periods
presented for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements have been adjusted to give effect to:
|
|
|
|
|
the historical financial results of Campus Crest Communities
Predecessor (as defined below), including Campus Crest
Communities, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2010
(unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 2009;
|
|
|
|
our formation transactions;
|
|
|
|
the repayment of indebtedness and other use of proceeds from
this offering;
|
|
|
|
borrowings under the Companys line of credit;
|
|
|
|
the acquisition of certain noncontrolling interests of the
Predecessor;
|
|
|
|
the incremental general and administrative expenses to be
incurred to operate as a public company;
|
|
|
|
the probable 2010 acquisition by the Company of certain entities
owned by one or more real estate ventures in which the
Predecessor is a member;
|
|
|
|
the probable 2010 acquisition by the Company of certain land
under contract; and
|
|
|
|
the election by certain of the Companys subsidiaries to be

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements include adjustments relating to acquisitions only
when it is probable that the Company will acquire the properties.
You should read the information below along with all other
financial information and analysis presented in this prospectus,
including the sections captioned Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and the Predecessor combined financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
actual financial position of the Company as of June 30,
2010 or what the actual results of operations of the Company
would have been assuming this offering and our formation
transactions had been completed on the first day of the periods
presented, nor are they indicative of the results of operations

sheet. In March 2010, the Predecessor sold 99% of its ownership

connection with our purchase of The Grove at San Marcos and
its removal from the collateral pool securing such loan.
Consideration for the acquisition of the interests in these
properties, the repayment of related party debt and other
closing costs are expected to total approximately

reflect construction activity; however, it is expected that each
of these four projects would be completed for the 2011-2012
academic year.

leverage ratio and will range from 2.75% to 3.50% for Eurodollar
Rate based borrowings and from 1.75% to 2.50% for Base Rate
based borrowings. For the purpose of this adjustment, LIBOR was
assumed to be 0.26%.

NOTES TO
BALANCE SHEETS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Maryland and
capitalized with the issuance of one share at par on
March 1, 2010. The Company intends to file a registration
statement on
Form S-11
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
this offering. The Company will own, through both general
partner and limited partner interests, Campus Crest Communities
Operating Partnership, LP (the Operating
Partnership).
The Company has had no operations since its formation. Our
formation transactions are designed to:
|
|
|
|
|
consolidate the ownership of our properties and the student
housing business of the Predecessor into the Operating
Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
|
facilitate this offering.
|
The Operating Partnership will own interests in 27 student
housing properties. If this offering is successfully concluded,
the Company will become a publicly owned corporation that
intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes commencing with its taxable year ending
December 31, 2010.
In connection with this offering, the Company intends to elect
to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of
the Internal Revenue Code commencing with the Companys
taxable year ending on December 31, 2010. The
Companys qualification as a REIT depends upon its ability
to meet on a continuing basis, through actual investment and
operating results, various complex requirements under the
Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things, the
sources of the Companys gross income, the composition and
values of its assets, its distribution levels and the diversity
of ownership of its stock. The Company believes that it will be
organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification
and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and that
the Companys intended manner of operation will enable it
to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a
REIT.
As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that it
distributes currently to its stockholders. If the Company fails
to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify
for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company will be
subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate
rates and generally will be precluded from qualifying as a REIT
for the subsequent four taxable years following the year during
which it lost its REIT qualification. Accordingly, the
Companys failure to qualify as a REIT could materially and
adversely affect it, including its ability to make distributions
to its stockholders in the future. Even if the Company qualifies

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Campus Crest Communities Predecessor:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of
Campus Crest Communities Predecessor as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the related combined statements of
operations, changes in equity (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2009. In connection with our audits of the combined financial
statements, we also have audited financial statement
Schedule III. These combined financial statements and
financial statement Schedule III are the responsibility of
the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these combined financial statements and financial
statement Schedule III based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Campus Crest Communities Predecessor as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in
our opinion, the related financial statement Schedule III,
when considered in relation to the basic combined financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

In November 2009, we sold 90% of
our ownership interest in Campus Crest at Milledgeville, LLC.
The transaction did not qualify as a sale under U.S. GAAP and
Campus Crest at Milledgeville, LLC remained a combined entity as
of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009.
See note 7.

|

|
|
In March 2010, we sold 99% of our
ownership interest in the uncombined real estate venture that
owns these entities. The transaction did not qualify as a sale
of an interest under U.S. GAAP and the affected entities are
accounted for at their pre-sale net ownership interests as of
June 30, 2010. See notes 14 and 15.
|
Campus Crest Communities, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated in the State of Maryland on March 1, 2010. The
Company intends to file a registration statement on
Form S-11
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
this offering. The Company will own, through both general
partner and limited partner interests, Campus Crest Communities
Operating Partnership, LP (the Operating
Partnership).
The Company has had no operations since its formation. Our
formation transactions are designed to:
|
|
|
|
|
consolidate the ownership of our properties and the student
housing business of the Predecessor into the Operating
Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; and
|
|
|
|
facilitate this offering.
|
The Operating Partnership will own interests in 27 student
housing properties. If this offering is successfully concluded,
the Company will become a publicly owned corporation that
intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes commencing with its taxable year ending
December 31, 2010.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Basis
of Presentation
The Predecessor reflects a combination of certain student
housing related activities that are commonly controlled by CCG.
Due to their common control, the financial statements of the
separate entities which own the properties are presented on a
combined basis. The accompanying combined financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States
(U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and include the accounts of the Predecessor
and its subsidiaries, including ventures in which we have a
controlling interest. Interests in the consolidated entities
which are not wholly owned by the Predecessor are reflected as
noncontrolling interests in the combined financial statements.
We also have an interest in an uncombined entity which has
ownership in several property owning entities which is accounted
for under the equity method. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant assumptions and estimates are used by management in
recognizing construction and development revenue under the
percentage of completion method, useful lives of student housing
properties, valuation of investment in real estate, fair value
of financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, and
allowance for doubtful accounts. It is at least reasonably
possible that these estimates could change in the near term.
Investment
in Real Estate
Investment in real estate is recorded at historical cost. Major
improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized
and depreciated over a period equal to the shorter of the life
of the improvement or the remaining useful life of the asset.
The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Buildings
|
|
|
40 years
|
|
Improvements
|
|
|
20 years
|
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
|
|
|
3-10 years
|
|
The cost of buildings and improvements includes all
pre-development, entitlement and project costs directly
associated with the development and construction of a real
estate project, which include interest, property taxes, and
deferred financing costs recognized while the project is under
construction. Additionally, the Predecessor capitalizes certain
internal costs related to the development and construction of
its student housing properties. All costs are capitalized as
development in process until the asset is ready for its intended
use, which is typically at the completion of the project. Upon
completion, costs are transferred into the applicable asset
category and depreciation commences. Interest totaling
approximately $0.4 million, $1.8 million and
$1.9 million was capitalized during the years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Pre-development costs are capitalized until such time that
management believes it is no longer probable that a contract
will be executed
and/or
construction will commence. Because we frequently incur these
pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment
and/or
required permits and authorizations have been obtained, we bear
the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if
financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or
we are unable to successfully obtain the required permits and
authorizations. As such, management evaluates the status of
projects where we have not yet acquired the target property or
where we have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis
and writes off any pre-development costs related to projects
whose current status indicates the acquisition or commencement
of construction is not probable. Such write-offs are included
within operating expenses in the accompanying combined
statements of operations. As of June 30, 2010 (unaudited)
and December 31, 2009 and 2008, we have deferred
approximately $3.6 million, $3.3 million and
$2.9 million, respectively, in pre-development costs
related to development projects that have not yet been acquired
or for which construction has not commenced. Such costs are
included in development in process on the accompanying combined
balance sheets.

NOTES TO
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
Management assesses whether there has been impairment in the
value of our investment in real estate whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of investment in
real estate is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of a student housing property to the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the
property. The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is
inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current
and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions
change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of our
long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which
conditions change. To the extent that a property is impaired,
the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its
estimated fair value is charged to operating earnings. Fair
value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the
property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as
considered necessary.
Ground
Leases
Ground lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the related lease.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We
maintain cash balances in various banks. At times our balances
may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). As of June 30, 2010
(unaudited), December 31, 2009 and 2008, our deposits were
covered under FDIC insurance. We do not believe cash and cash
equivalents expose us to any significant credit risk.
Restricted
Cash and Investments
Restricted cash includes escrow accounts held by lenders and
resident security deposits as required by law in certain states.
In certain instances, restricted cash consists of funds,
required by a counter-party to our derivative contracts, to
serve as collateral for future settlements of those derivative
contracts. These funds are held in an interest bearing account
covered under FDIC insurance. Restricted investments include
certificates of deposit that do not qualify as cash equivalents
and are required to be maintained by our lenders.
Deferred
Financing Costs
We defer costs incurred in obtaining financing and amortize the
costs over the terms of the related loans using the effective
interest method. Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a
material change in the terms of the underlying debt agreement,
any unamortized costs are charged to earnings. Deferred
financing costs, net of amortization, are included in other
assets on the accompanying combined balance sheets.
Noncontrolling
Interest
Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity in the
Predecessors combined subsidiaries which is not
attributable to the owner. Accordingly, noncontrolling interests
are reported as a component of equity in the accompanying
combined balance sheets but separate from owners deficit.
On the combined statements of operations, operating results are
reported at the combined amount, including both the amount
attributable to us and to noncontrolling interests.

Real
Estate Ventures
We hold interests in all properties, both under development and
in operation, through interests in both combined and uncombined
real estate ventures. The Predecessor assesses its investments
in real estate ventures in accordance with applicable guidance
under U.S. GAAP to determine if a venture is a Variable
Interest Entity (VIE). We consolidate entities that
are defined as VIEs and for which we are determined to be the
primary beneficiary. In instances where we are not the primary
beneficiary, we do not consolidate the entity for financial
reporting purposes. For entities that are not defined as VIEs,
management first considers whether we are the general partner or
a limited partner (or the equivalent in such investments which
are not structured as partnerships). We consolidate entities
where we are the general partner (or the equivalent) and the
limited partners (or the equivalent) in such investments do not
have rights which would preclude control and, therefore,
consolidation for financial reporting purposes.
For entities where we are the general partner (or the
equivalent) but do not control the real estate venture, as the
other partners (or the equivalent) hold substantive
participating rights, we use the equity method of accounting.
For entities where we are a limited partner (or the equivalent),
management considers factors such as ownership interest, voting
control, authority to make decisions, and contractual and
substantive participating rights of the partners (or the
equivalent) to determine if the presumption that the general
partner controls the entity is overcome. In instances where
these factors indicate we control the entity, we consolidate the
entity; otherwise we record our investment using the equity
method of accounting.
Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized in
the balance sheet at cost and are subsequently adjusted to
reflect our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the
entity, distributions received, contributions, and certain other
adjustments, as appropriate. When circumstances indicate there
may have been a loss in value of an equity method investment, we
evaluate the investment for impairment by estimating our ability
to recover the investment from future expected discounted cash
flows. If we determine the loss in value is other than
temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the
investment at fair value.

Student
Housing Revenue
Students are required to execute lease contracts with payment
schedules that vary from annual to monthly payments. We
recognize revenues and related lease incentives on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease contracts.
Generally, each executed contract is required to be accompanied
by a signed parental guaranty. Amounts received in advance of
the occupancy period are recorded as deferred revenues and
included in other liabilities on the accompanying combined
balance sheets. Service revenue is recognized when earned.
Segments
We have identified two reportable business segments: student
housing operations and development, construction and management
services. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments
based on operating income (loss). All inter-segment sales
pricing is based on current market conditions. Operating
segments that do not individually meet the aggregation criteria
described in the accounting guidance may be combined with other
operating segments that do not individually meet the aggregation
criteria to form a separate reportable segment. We have combined
all of our operating segments that do not individually meet the
aggregation criteria established in the accounting guidance to
form the unallocated corporate amounts segment for
our segment reporting. Unallocated corporate amounts include
general expenses associated with managing our two reportable
operating segments.
Development,
Construction and Management Services
Development and construction service revenue is recognized using
the percentage of completion method, as determined by
construction costs incurred relative to total estimated
construction costs. Any changes in significant judgments
and/or
estimates used in determining construction and development
revenue could significantly change the timing or amount of
construction and development revenue recognized. Costs in excess
of construction billings are expected to be collected within one
year.
Development and construction service revenue is recognized for
contracts with entities we do not combine. For projects where
the revenue is based on a fixed price, any cost overruns
incurred during construction, as compared to the original
budget, will reduce the net profit ultimately recognized on
those projects. Profit derived from these projects is eliminated
to the extent of the Predecessors ownership interest in
the uncombined entity. Any incentive fees, net of the impact of
our ownership interest if the entity is an uncombined entity,
are recognized when the project is complete and performance has
been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been
verified by an independent third party. When total development
or construction costs at completion exceed the fixed price set
forth within the related contract, such cost overruns are
recorded as additional investment in the uncombined entity.
Management fees, net of elimination to the extent of our
ownership in uncombined entities, are recognized when earned in
accordance with each management contract for entities we do not
combine. Incentive management fees are recognized when the
incentive criteria are met.

respectively.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
In certain instances, interest rate swap agreements used to
manage floating interest rate exposure are executed with respect
to amounts borrowed, or forecasted to be borrowed, under credit
facilities. These contracts effectively exchange existing or
forecasted obligations to pay interest based on floating rates
for obligations to pay interest based on fixed rates. All
derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or
liabilities on the combined balance sheet at their respective
fair values. Our derivatives have not met the requirements for
hedge accounting treatment; therefore, all gains and losses
related to derivative instruments are recorded in the combined
statements of operations as a component of change in fair value
of interest rate derivatives. Also included within this line
item are any required monthly settlements on the swaps as well
as all cash settlements paid.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents, investments, student receivables, interest rate
swaps, accounts payable, mortgages, construction notes payable
and lines of credit. The carrying value of cash, cash
equivalents, investments, student receivables, accounts payable
and lines of credit and other debt are representative of their
respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. The estimated fair values of mortgages,
construction loans and lines of credit are determined by
comparing current borrowing rates and risk spreads offered in
the market to the stated interest rates and spreads on our
current mortgages, construction loans and lines of credit. The
fair value of mortgage and construction loans as well as lines
of credit are disclosed in note 9.

CAMPUS
CREST COMMUNITIES PREDECESSOR
NOTES TO
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using
widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash
flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This
analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable
market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied
volatilities and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.
On January 1, 2008, the Predecessor adopted guidance for
accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and
financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of
nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the combined financial statements on a recurring basis.
On January 1, 2009, the Predecessor adopted guidance for
fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are
recognized and disclosed at fair value in the combined financial
statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a
fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements)
and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three
levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in
active markets at the measurement date for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2Other inputs that are observable directly or
indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active
or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly,
for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Unobservable inputs for which there is little
or no market data and which the Predecessor makes its own
assumptions about how market participants would price the asset
or liability.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when
selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date
(exit price). In instances where inputs used to measure fair
value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair
value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based
on the lowest level input significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance
of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the
asset or liability.

Commitments
and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims,
assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are
recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are
expensed as incurred.
Income
Taxes
The combined entities of the Predecessor are all limited
liability companies or limited partnerships and have elected to
be taxed as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded since
all income and losses of the Predecessor are allocated to the
owners for inclusion in their respective tax returns.
Other
Comprehensive Income
We have no elements of other comprehensive income. As a result,
there is no difference between net loss as shown in the combined
statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to
as minority interest). It also requires that a retained
noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary
be initially measured at its fair value. We are required to
report any noncontrolling interests as a separate component of
equity and present any net income allocable to noncontrolling
interests and net income attributable to the Predecessor
separately in the combined statements of operations. As
required, we adopted this new guidance beginning January 1,
2009. As a result of adoption, the former minority interest
classification was eliminated and related amounts are now
reflected as a component of equity. Additionally, during 2009,
noncontrolling interests were attributed the full amount of
their portion of any net losses. Previously, they were only
allocated losses up to their remaining investment balances. It
requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure
requirements for existing minority interests. All other
requirements are applied prospectively.
In March 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring
enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for, and how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. The Predecessor adopted
the new guidance beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption
did not have a significant effect on our combined financial
statements.

CAMPUS
CREST COMMUNITIES PREDECESSOR
NOTES TO
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring
disclosure of the fair value of all financial instruments
(recognized or unrecognized) when practicable to do so. These
fair value disclosures must be presented together with the
related carrying amount of the financial instruments in a manner
that clearly distinguishes between assets and liabilities and
indicates how the carrying amounts relate to the amounts
reported on the balance sheet. The new guidance is effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
adoption did not have a material impact on our combined
financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance regarding
subsequent events. The new guidance sets forth the period after
the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements, and disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet
date. The Predecessor adopted this guidance during 2009, and the
adoption did not have a material impact on our combined
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance changing
the consolidation analysis for VIEs and requiring a qualitative
analysis to determine the primary beneficiary. The determination
of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether the
entity has the power to direct matters which most significantly
impact the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to
absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE
which could potentially be significant to the VIE. It requires
additional disclosures for VIEs, including disclosures about a
reporting entitys involvement with VIEs, how a reporting
entitys involvement with a VIE affects the reporting
entitys financial statements, and significant judgments
and assumptions made by the reporting entity to determine
whether it must combine the VIE. It is effective for us
beginning on January 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating
what impact, if any, its adoption will have on our combined
financial statements.
Unaudited
Interim Financial Information
The combined financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim
periods have been included. The results of operations and cash
flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for other interim periods or the full year.

Each of these leases allows us the option to purchase the
property, subject to certain conditions, at any time after the
fifth anniversary of the lease effective date for fair market
value. Consolidation of these VIEs resulted in recording land
related to student housing properties of $13.0 million as
of June 30, 2010 (unaudited), December 31, 2009, 2008
and 2007.
In addition to ground leases discussed in note 4, we
entered into two ground lease agreements, both on the campus of
the University of South Alabama, for the purpose of developing,
constructing and operating student housing facilities. Initial
lease terms are 38 and 40 years. Our future commitments are
included in note 13. We have the right to encumber our
leasehold interests with specific property mortgages for the
purposes of constructing, remodeling or making improvements on
or to the properties. Title to all improvements paid for and

NOTES TO

The portion of ownership interests attributable to the
third-party owners in these entities is classified as
noncontrolling interest within equity on the accompanying
combined balance sheets. Accordingly, the third-party
owners share of the income or loss of the entities is
reported on the combined statements of operations as net loss
attributable to noncontrolling interest.
Prior to January 1, 2009, losses and distributions were
allocated to third-party owners up to, but not in excess of the
third-party owners investments. Losses and distributions
in excess of third-party owners investments were
recognized entirely by the Predecessor. Beginning on
January 1, 2009, in accordance with new accounting
guidance, third-party owners were allocated losses in excess of
their investment. The attribution of these losses to
noncontrolling interest resulted, in certain instances, the
third-party owner having a deficit or negative noncontrolling
interest balance, even in situations when it was not required to
fund this balance. The following table presents the pro forma
effect on net income if the prior method of allocating losses to
noncontrolling interest had been applied in 2009 (amounts in

Sale of
Student Housing Property
|
In November 2009, we sold 90% of our interest in The Grove at
Milledgeville to an affiliate of Harrison Street Real Estate
(HSRE). In addition, we executed an agreement with
HSRE which provides us the ability to repurchase our interest in
The Grove at Milledgeville. Upon completion of this offering,
the Predecessor does intend to repurchase this interest. Because
of our continuing involvement in this asset and because this
transaction has financing elements, we did not record this
transaction as a sale for financial reporting purposes. The
proceeds were recorded as a related party loan and we continue
to combine the balance sheet and operations of Campus Crest at
Milledgeville, LLC, the entity which owns the property. The
difference between the sale proceeds and contracted repurchase
price is recorded as a discount to the related party loan. This
discount is being amortized and recorded as interest expense on
the accompanying combined statement of operations. For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2010 (unaudited), interest
expense related to this transaction totaled approximately
$1.0 million. For the year-ended December 31, 2009,
interest expense related to this transaction totaled
approximately $0.3 million. We received proceeds from the
sale of our interest in this property of approximately
$3.9 million.

Investment
in Uncombined Entity
|
We have an investment in an uncombined entity with HSRE. At
December 31, 2009, this entity had an investment in seven
student housing properties. Four of these properties, The Grove
at Lawrence, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo,
and The Grove at San Marcos, opened in 2009. The remaining
three properties were under construction at December 31,
2009. We held a 10% noncontrolling interest in this uncombined
entity at December 31, 2009 and 2008. Our effective
ownership of these seven student housing properties ranges from
5% to 10%.
Our investment of approximately $3.3 million,
$3.0 million and $0.8 million in these entities at
June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, is included in investment
in uncombined entities in the accompanying combined balance

This amount represents the
aggregate difference between our historical cost basis and the
basis reflected at the entity level, which is typically
amortized over the life of the related asset. The basis
differential occurs primarily due to the capitalization of
additional investment in the uncombined entity offset by the
elimination of service related revenue to the extent of our
percentage ownership.

Mortgage
Loans
In 2009 and in 2008, we had in place secured permanent financing
of approximately $164.8 million for 10 combined properties.
The loans for The Grove at Asheville, The Grove at Carrollton,
The Grove at Milledgeville and The Grove at Las Cruces generally
require interest only payments, plus certain reserves and
escrows, are payable monthly for a period of five years. Monthly
payments of principal and interest, plus certain reserve and
escrow amounts, are due thereafter until maturity when all
principal is due. Each of these loans has a
30-year
amortization and is a non-recourse obligation subject to
customary or immaterial exceptions. None of these loans are
cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with any other
indebtedness. The loans generally may not be prepaid prior to
maturity; in certain cases, prepayment is allowed, subject to
prepayment penalties.
The other mortgage loan is secured by six properties and has
interest only payments with a balloon maturity date of
February 28, 2013. This mortgage loan does not cross
collateralize, nor is it cross defaulted to, any of the other
debt facilities.

Construction
Loans
In June 2007, we closed a construction loan in a principal
amount of $145.0 million of which $10.0 million is
included to be available for the issuance of letters of credit.
The construction loan has a maturity date of October 31,
2010, has a weighted average interest rate of 2.47% and 2.37% as
of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009 and
requires interest only payments until loan maturity. At
December 31, 2009, approximately $136.4 million of the
$148.3 million outstanding loan balance is hedged with a
floating to fixed interest rate swap. We have a commitment from
the lender to extend the maturity date of this loan to
January 31, 2011 and the parties have agreed to amend the
loan documents to effect this extension of the maturity date not
later than May 31, 2010 (note 15).
In 2007, we entered into agreements for debt totaling
approximately $12.5 million, which is included in the
construction loan amount outstanding above, with a related party
who holds a portion of the noncontrolling interests and is party
to certain of our ground leases with VIEs as described in
note 4. The loans accrue interest at LIBOR plus 1.80% and
are paid monthly with all principal and accrued interest due on
October 31, 2010. We have a commitment from the lender to
extend the maturity date of this loan to January 31, 2011
and the parties have agreed to amend the loan amounts to effect
this extension of the maturity date not later than May 31,
2010 (note 15).
In December 2009, we modified and extended the property
construction loan for The Grove at Mobile-Phase II.
Modifications to the loan included: (i) the face/commitment
amount was reduced to $15.9 million from
$16.4 million, (ii) the interest rate was changed from
LIBOR plus 1.80% to the greater of LIBOR plus 3.00% or a floor
rate of 5.50% and (iii) the maturity date was extended to
October 31, 2010. Payment terms include monthly principal
payments of $37,500 and interest prior to a reduction of
principal in the amount of $1.0 million on or before
June 30, 2010, and monthly principal payments of $25,000
and interest subsequent to the payment of the $1.0 million
reduction of principal (note 15). The loan is a full
recourse loan secured by The Grove at Mobile-Phase II. For
managements plan to address maturity of this facility, see
Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Lines
of Credit and Other Debt
In March 2007, we entered into a line of credit of
$2.0 million that was due in October 2008. This line of
credit was subsequently increased to $4.0 million in May
2008. In October 2008, we converted the balance of this line of
credit (approximately $2.7 million) to a term loan with an
interest rate of one month LIBOR plus 3.00%. Interest only
payments were required commencing in November 2008 with
principal payments required to be paid on a quarterly basis
beginning on January 31, 2009. All principal and accrued
interest was due and paid in October 2009.
The Predecessor obtained a $6.0 million line of credit in
May 2007 with an interest rate of 10.50% per annum. Ownership of
the lender includes the Predecessors owner and a
third-party investor in all of our combined property owning
entities. Interest only payments were due August 1, 2007
and continuing quarterly thereafter with the entire principal
balance, including accrued interest, due and payable in full
April 30, 2009. In April 2009, the terms of the line of
credit were amended. The new terms extended the maturity date to
April 30, 2011 and increased the interest rate to 12.00%
per annum. At June 30, 2010 (unaudited), December 31,
2009 and 2008, $6.0 million was outstanding on this line of
credit.

labor under our construction loan with Wachovia Bank secured by
The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo and The Grove
at San Marcos. On May 12, 2010, the lender under this
construction loan acknowledged and consented to our proposal for
the payment and satisfaction of the liens out of the net
proceeds from the Companys offering and waived our
non-compliance with the covenant (note 15).
At December 31, 2009, we were not in compliance with
covenants under our $104.0 million mortgage loan with
Silverton Bank, secured by six of our properties, for the
quarters ended October 31, 2009, January 31, 2010 and
April 30, 2010 as a result of failing to meet the specified
debt service coverage and debt yield percentage covenants set
forth in the loan documents. Additionally, based on current
operating projections, the Predecessor does not expect to
satisfy either covenant through the end of 2010. On
April 9, 2010, we received a waiver of non-compliance with
the covenants from the lender under this mortgage loan for the
periods ended October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010.
On May 13, 2010, we received a waiver of non-compliance
with the covenants from the lender under this mortgage loan for
the period ended April 30, 2010. We have also obtained a
forward waiver of
non-compliance
for the periods ending July 31, 2010, October 31, 2010
and January 31, 2011.
We have three credit facilities maturing in fiscal 2010,
consisting of the $148.4 million construction loan facility
secured by nine properties, a $4.0 million line of credit
and a $15.9 million construction loan. We received an
executed commitment from our current lender on May 7, 2010
to extend the maturity of the $148.4 million construction
loan facility to January 31, 2011. Additionally, we
anticipate retiring the $4.0 million line of credit out of
cash flows from operations. We expect to refinance the principal
amount of the $15.9 million construction loan, less the
fiscal 2010 principal amortization of $1.0 million, based
on current refinancing underwriting standards. The current
challenging economic climate may also lead to our need to sell
one or more of our operating properties in order to provide the
needed liquidity to service our debt and operating obligations
during 2010 (note 15).
We believe that our existing capital resources, which include
cash flow from operations and the potential sale of operating
properties, will be adequate to satisfy our anticipated
liquidity requirements throughout 2010. If available liquidity
is not sufficient to meet our operating and debt service
obligations as they come due, we expect to pursue alternative
financing arrangements, reduce expenditures, or sell additional
operating properties, as necessary, in order to meet our cash
requirements throughout 2010.
Additionally, we generate construction, development and
management fee revenue from real estate ventures and will
attempt to enter into new real estate ventures during fiscal
2010, although our ability to secure venture partners or other
equity sources, as well as necessary construction financing, is
not assured. Additional new real estate ventures would provide
fee revenue that helps to provide necessary liquidity.
Our operations have historically generated net losses primarily
due to significant amounts of interest expense, depreciation and
amortization expense. We expect that our operations will
continue to generate net losses due to the amounts of interest
expense, depreciation and amortization expense that are
projected.

NOTES TO
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
There is no assurance that if required, we would be able to
raise additional capital, refinance maturing credit facilities,
sell one or more operating properties or reduce discretionary
spending sufficient to provide the required liquidity. Failure
to achieve sufficient liquidity or otherwise address further
compliance issues under our credit facilities within the
timeframe permitted may have a material adverse affect on our
business, results of operations and financial position, and may
materially affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
|
We use significant variable rate debt to finance our
construction of student housing properties. These debt
obligations expose us to variability in cash flows due to
fluctuations in interest rates. From time to time, management
enters into derivative contracts to limit variability for a
portion of our interest payments and to manage exposure to
interest rate risk. We use derivative financial instruments,
specifically interest rate swaps, for non-trading purposes.
As of June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and 2008, the
fair value of derivative contracts is recorded within other
liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheets with
changes in the fair value of derivatives recorded within the
combined statements of operations. The fair value of interest
rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology
of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or
payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or
receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on
an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived
from observable market interest rate curves. We incorporate
credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect our own
nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys
nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting
the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, we consider the impact of netting and any
applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings,
thresholds and guarantees.
The following table is a summary of the terms and the estimated
fair value of the derivative contracts we were a party to at
June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009

In October 2008, the counterparty to our swap agreements
required us to deposit cash collateral into escrow for future
settlements in the amount of approximately $1.4 million.
This amount is included in the restricted cash line item in the
accompanying December 31, 2008 combined balance sheet. No
amounts were required to be escrowed for future settlements at
June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009.
Periodic swap settlements of $0.1 million,
$0.7 million and $0 were capitalized to student housing
properties for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively.

that are both combined and not combined. Campus Crest
Development, LLC (Development) serves as the
developer and project manager for the same entities prior to and
through the properties substantial completion. Campus
Crest Construction, LLC (Construction) serves as the
general contractor for entities we have an ownership interest
in, including uncombined entities. The Grove Student Properties,
LLC (d/b/a Campus Crest Real Estate Management)

from entities that have common ownership with the Predecessor.
At June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009 and
2008, we were owed approximately $1.7 million,
$1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Commitments
In the normal course of business, we enter into various
development and construction related purchase commitments with
parties that provide development and construction related goods
and services. In the event we were to terminate development or
construction services prior to the completion of projects, we
could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding or
uncompleted purchase orders with such parties. At
December 31, 2009, management does not anticipate any
material deviations from schedule or budget related to
development projects currently in progress.
In the ordinary course of business, certain liens related to the
construction of the student housing real estate property may be
attached to the assets of the Company by contractors or
suppliers. Campus Crest Construction, LLC is responsible as the
general contractor for resolving these liens. At June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, there were unresolved liens or
claims for materials or labor for The Grove at Cheney, The Grove
at Jonesboro, The Grove at Lubbock, The Grove at Murfreesboro,
The Grove at Stephenville, The Grove at Troy, The Grove at Waco,
The Grove at Wichita and The Grove at Wichita Falls. The liens
and claims relate to the role of Campus Crest Construction, LLC
as general contractor in connection with the construction of
these nine properties. As of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and
December 31, 2009, we have recorded a liability of
approximately $2.0 million and $2.2 million relating
to these liens and claims, however, there can be no assurances
that we will not be required to pay amounts greater than our
currently recorded liabilities in order to obtain the release of
the liens or settle these claims.
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were
unresolved liens or claims for materials or labor for The Grove
at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo and The Grove at
San Marcos. The liens and claims relate to the role of
Campus Crest Construction, LLC as general contractor in
connection with the construction of these three properties. As
of June 30, 2010 (unaudited) and December 31, 2009, we
have recorded a liability of approximately $303,000 and $430,000
relating to these liens and claims, however, there can be no
assurances that we will not be required to pay amounts greater
than our currently recorded liabilities in order to obtain the
release of the liens or settle these claims.

Rent expense totaled $0.5 million, $0.5 million and

2008 and 2007, respectively.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to claims,
lawsuits and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to
ascertain the ultimate outcome of all such matters, management
believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any,
in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not
have a material adverse effect on the combined financial
position or combined results of operations of the Predecessor.
We are not involved in any material litigation nor, to
managements knowledge, is any material litigation
currently threatened against us or our properties or
subsidiaries, other than routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business.
We are not aware of any environmental liability with respect to
the properties that could have a material adverse effect on our
business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be
no assurance that such a material environmental liability does
not exist. The existence of any such material environmental
liability could have an adverse effect on our results of
operations and cash flows.
HSRE
Real Estate Ventures
As of December 31, 2009, we have two real estate venture
arrangements with HSRE. On March 26, 2010, we entered into
an agreement with HSRE for the formation of a third real estate
venture arrangement that is contingent upon the receipt of
certain lender consents described below. Upon completion of the
Companys offering and the transactions described below,
however, we will be party only to one real estate venture
arrangement relating to six properties, in which we will own a
49.9% interest and which will be accounted for as an investment
in an unconsolidated real estate venture.

CAMPUS

NOTES TO
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
HSRE I. Our first real estate venture with HSRE,
HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE I,
indirectly owns 100% interests in the following seven
properties: The Grove at Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The
Grove at Lawrence, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro. As of March 26, 2010, we own a 0.1% interest in
HSRE I and HSRE owns the remaining 99.9% (prior to the March
2010 transactions described below, we owned a 10% interest in
HSRE I and HSRE owned the remaining 90%).
In general, we are responsible for the
day-to-day
management of HSRE Is business and affairs, provided that
major decisions must be approved by us and HSRE. In addition to
distributions to which we are entitled as an investor in
HSRE I, we receive or have in the past received fees for
providing services to the properties held by HSRE I pursuant to
development and construction agreements and property management
agreements. We have granted to an entity related to HSRE I a
right of first opportunity with respect to certain development
or acquisition opportunities identified by us. This right of
first opportunity will terminate at such time as HSRE shall have
funded at least $40 million of equity to HSRE I
and/or
certain related ventures. As of July 30, 2010, HSRE has
funded approximately $35 million of the $40 million
right of first opportunity. HSRE I will dissolve upon the
disposition of substantially all of its assets or the occurrence
of certain events specified in the agreement between us and HSRE.
HSRE II. Our second real estate venture with HSRE,
HSRE-Campus Crest II, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE II,
indirectly owns a 100% interest in The Grove at Milledgeville.
In November 2009, an entity in which we hold a 50% interest sold
a 100% interest in The Grove at Milledgeville to HSRE II, and
retained an ownership interest in HSRE II of 10%. Upon
completion of the Companys offering and the formation
transactions, HSRE II will be dissolved, and the Company will
own 100% of The Grove at Milledgeville.
HSRE III. On March 26, 2010, we entered into an
agreement with HSRE to form a third real estate venture,
HSRE-Campus Crest III, LLC, which we refer to as HSRE III,
predicated upon the receipt of certain lender consents described
below. HSRE III currently does not own any assets and will
indirectly acquire a 100% interest in The Grove at Carrollton,
subject to receiving certain lender consents relating to
indebtedness secured by The Grove at Carrollton. If these
consents are obtained, upon HSRE IIIs acquisition of The
Grove at Carrollton, we will own a 0.1% interest in HSRE III and
HSRE will own the remaining 99.9%. Upon completion of the
Companys offering and the formation transactions, HSRE III
will be dissolved, and the Company will own 100% of The Grove at
Carrollton (note 15).
HSRE
Transactions
March 2010 Transactions. In March 2010, we consummated
the following transactions with HSRE, for which we received
proceeds of approximately $2.25 million:
|
|
|
|
|
the sale of a 9.9% interest in HSRE I to HSRE; and
|
|
|
|
the pre-payment by HSRE to us of management fees relating to the
following properties: The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at
Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The
Grove at Milledgeville, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro.
|
In addition, we agreed to sell a 9.9% interest in HSRE II to
HSRE and a 100% interest in The Grove at Carrollton to HSRE III,
which will result in aggregate cash proceeds to us of
approximately

$1.7 million; although neither of the foregoing
transactions has been consummated and both are subject to
receiving certain lender consents relating to indebtedness
secured by the respective properties.
Post-Offering Transactions. Upon completion of
the Companys offering, we have agreed to consummate the
following transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
Purchase a 49.8% interest in HSRE I from HSRE;
|
|
|
|
Purchase a 50.1% interest in The Grove at San Marcos from
HSRE I, with the result that we will own 100% of The Grove
at San Marcos;
|
|
|
|
Purchase HSREs entire interest in HSRE II, with the result
that we will own 100% of The Grove at Milledgeville;
|
|
|
|
Purchase a 99.9% interest in HSRE III from HSRE, with the result
that we will own 100% of The Grove at Carrollton (note 15);
and
|
|
|
|
Repay to HSRE the pre-paid management fees relating to the
following properties: The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at
Conway, The Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The
Grove at Milledgeville, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro (note 15).

Unaudited
Interim Transactions
|
As discussed in Note 14, in March 2010, we sold 99% of our
interest in HSRE I, which represents a 9.9% interest in the HSRE
I venture, to HSRE, and HSRE prepaid to us management fees
related to certain properties. The total proceeds received from
these transactions were $2.25 million. We also executed an
agreement with HSRE whereby we have agreed to repurchase the
sold interest in HSRE I. Upon completion of this offering, the
Predecessor will repurchase this interest in HSRE I and will
repay the prepaid management fees at a stipulated repayment
amount. Due to these facts and because these transactions have
financing elements, the transactions were accounted for as a
related party loan. The difference between the total proceeds
received and the total contracted repurchase and repayment
amounts is accreted and recorded as interest expense on the
accompanying combined statements of operations. For the six
months ended June 30, 2010 (unaudited), interest expense
related to these transactions totaled approximately $384,000.
Since June 1, 2010, we executed a series of agreements with
the lender on our Wachovia Bank construction loan described in
note 9, which further extended the May 7, 2010
commitment. On August 16, 2010, we entered into an
agreement, the execution of which memorializes the terms and
conditions of the May 7, 2010 commitment, as extended from
time to time, including a waiver of non-compliance with the debt
service coverage covenant as of June 30, 2010. On
August 31, 2010, we executed an agreement with the lender
on our Wachovia Bank construction loan described in Note 9,
allowing us until October 31, 2010 to bond over and/or
cause all remaining unresolved liens to be released.
On August 2, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Encore
Interests, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Encore) for
the formation of CC-Encore, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (CC-Encore), and we contributed to
CC-Encore
and pledged to Encore interests in certain of our properties and
subsidiaries. Carl H. Ricker, Jr. also is a party to this
agreement, and Mr. Ricker and his affiliated entities
contributed to
CC-Encore
and pledged to Encore interests that they owned in certain of
our properties. Encore contributed $2.5 million to
CC-Encore in exchange for a preferred membership interest.
CC-Encore loaned the net proceeds from Encores

purposes. The loan has an interest rate of 0.7% per annum and
all principal and interest is payable on January 1, 2014 if
CC-Encore does not exercise a payment demand prior to such date.
We are obligated to purchase the preferred membership interest
upon completion of this offering for $3.9 million, at which
time the joint venture with Encore will be terminated and we
will own 100% of the interests contributed to
CC-Encore
and pledged to Encore. The $3.9 million purchase price for
the preferred membership interest to be paid by us was the
result of an arms length negotiation between Encore, an
unaffiliated third party, and us at the time of Encores
purchase of the preferred membership interest. Prior to the
completion of this offering and while the preferred membership
interest remains outstanding, we are subject to financial and
other covenants under the terms of the agreement pursuant to
which Encore purchased the preferred membership interest, and we
have the right to repurchase the preferred membership interest
under certain circumstances. In addition, while the preferred
membership interest remains outstanding, Encore has agreed to
purchase up to an additional $2.5 million preferred
membership interest in
CC-Encore if
the properties related to the interests contributed to CC-Encore
meet certain financial and operating performance targets. If
this offering is completed, it is not expected that Encore will
purchase any additional interests in CC-Encore beyond its
initial $2.5 million interest.
On August 5, 2010, we executed an agreement with the lender
on our $4.0 million line of credit that was set to mature
on that date. The agreement extended the lines maturity
date to October 5, 2010. Additionally, the interest rate
floor changed from 5.0% to 5.5%. On September 29, 2010, we
executed an amendment with the lender on our $4.0 million
line of credit. The amendment extended the lines maturity
date to October 15, 2010. The lender on our
$4.0 million line of credit has committed to enter into an
agreement to further extend the lines maturity date to
November 5, 2010.
On August 16, 2010, we executed a modification of the terms
of the property construction loan for The Grove at
MobilePhase II. The modification provides for an
extension of the $1.0 million principal reduction payment
(discussed in the Construction Loans section of note 9) to
the earliest to occur of the completion of this offering, the
completion of a private placement of the equity interests in MXT
Capital, LLC or CCG, or October 31, 2010.
On August 31, 2010, we executed an agreement with the
lender on our joint venture construction loan with Wachovia Bank
secured by The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at San Angelo and The
Grove at San Marcos described in Note 9, allowing us until
October 31, 2010 to satisfy the liens and claims with a
portion of the net proceeds from this offering.
On September 28, 2010, an entity in which we hold a 38%
interest sold a 100% interest in The Grove at Carrollton to
HSRE III, and retained an ownership interest in
HSRE III of 0.1%. Upon completion of this offering and our
formation transactions, HSRE III will be dissolved, and we
will own 100% of The Grove at Carrollton.
On October 4, 2010, we executed an amendment to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement which includes a provision whereby
we are no longer required to repay to HSRE management fees
prepaid to us by HSRE in March 2010 relating to the following
properties: The Grove at Carrollton, The Grove at Conway, The
Grove at Huntsville, The Grove at Lawrence, The Grove at
Milledgeville, The Grove at Moscow, The Grove at
San Angelo, The Grove at San Marcos and The Grove at
Statesboro.
On October 4, 2010, we executed an amendment to the HSRE I
operating agreement whereby we cancelled our option to purchase
HSREs post-formation transaction 50.1% interest in The
Grove at Conway, The Grove at Huntsville and The Grove at
Statesboro for an aggregate purchase price of $13.1 million
(plus the assumption of $44.4 million of mortgage
indebtedness), which was exercisable at our option at any time
through December 31, 2010. Upon completion of the offering
and our formation transactions, these three assets will be held
by a joint venture with HSRE in which we will have a 49.9%
ownership interest.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Campus Crest Communities, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue
and certain expenses of HSRE Properties for the year ended
December 31, 2009. This combined financial statement is the
responsibility of the management of Campus Crest Communities,
Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined
financial statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and for inclusion in the registration statement on
Form S-11
of Campus Crest Communities, Inc., as described in note 2
to the combined financial statement. It is not intended to be a
complete presentation of HSRE Properties revenue and
expenses.
In our opinion, the combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the revenue and expenses as described in note 2
of HSRE Properties for the year ended December 31, 2009, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses includes the rental and property operations of the HSRE
Properties for the year ended December 31, 2009. Only one

and for the year ended December 31, 2009 were prepared for

HSRE
PROPERTIES
NOTES TO
COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN
EXPENSES(Continued)
a complete presentation of the actual operations of the
properties for the six months ended June 30, 2010
(unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 2009, as
certain expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses to
be incurred in the proposed future operations of the properties
have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of interest
expense on certain loans that will not be assumed by the
Company, depreciation, amortization and other expenses not
directly related to the proposed future operations of the
properties.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of the combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and
certain expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Students are required to execute lease contracts with payment
schedules that vary from annual to monthly payments. Revenue and
related lease incentives are recognized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the leases. Generally, each executed contract
is required to be accompanied by a signed parental guaranty.
Service revenue is recognized when earned.
Student
Housing Operating Expenses
Student housing operating expenses represent the direct expenses
of operating the properties and consist primarily of payroll,
utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, property taxes
and other operating expenses that are expected to continue in
the proposed future operations of the properties.
Commitments
and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims,
assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources, are
recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are
expensed as incurred. HSRE Properties is not subject to any
material litigation nor to managements knowledge is any
material litigation currently threatened against HSRE Properties
other than routine litigation, claims and administrative
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
Unaudited
Interim Financial Information
The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 is unaudited. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial information for this interim period have been
included. The revenues and certain expenses for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for other
interim periods or the full year.
