Color Up, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), is offering to purchase shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), of common stock of The Parking REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to that Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of January 8, 2021, by and among the Company, MVP REIT II Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), Michael V. Shustek (“Shustek”), Vestin Realty Mortgage I, Inc. (“VRMI”), Vestin Realty Mortgage II, Inc. (“VRMII” and together with VRMI and Shustek, the “Advisor”) and Purchaser. Purchaser is offering to purchase up to 900,506 Shares (the “Maximum Aggregate Amount”) as of the Expiration Time (as defined below), at a price of $11.75 per Share, to the sellers in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding tax (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). The Offer is also being made pursuant to a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release entered into on April 6, 2021 as approved by the Circuit Court for Baltimore County for the resolution of putative class action litigation in which the Company was a defendant.
Purchaser was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including the Offer, and investing in the Shares. Manuel Chavez, III (“Chavez”), a Manager and the Chief Executive Officer of Purchaser, was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors (“the Board”) and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective August 25, 2021. Stephanie Hogue (“Hogue”), a Manager and the President of Purchaser, was elected President of the Company and a member of the Board effective August 25, 2021. Both Chavez and Hogue are Managing Partners of Bombe Asset Management LLC, an Ohio-based alternative asset management firm that invests in transportation, infrastructure and real estate assets (“Bombe”). Jeffrey Osher (“Osher”), also a Manager of Purchaser, was elected to the Board effective August 25, 2021. Osher is a control person of HSCP Strategic III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and member of Purchaser (“HS3”), and is Portfolio Manager of No Street GP LP, a registered investment adviser.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on August 25, 2021, Purchaser acquired: (a) 1,549,324 Shares from the Advisor and its affiliates (the “Advisor Shares”); (b) 175,000 Shares from a settlement trust (the “Settlement Trust Shares”) established in accordance with a settlement of claims of certain putative class action litigation in which the Company was a defendant (as described below) (the “Settlement Trust”); and (c) warrants to purchase 1,702,128 shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”) from the Company. Purchaser paid the Advisor $11.75 per share for the Advisor Shares and paid the Settlement Trust $11.75 per share for the Settlement Trust Shares. As of the date hereof, Purchaser’s ownership of the Advisor Shares and the Settlement Trust Shares constitutes approximately 22.3% of the currently outstanding Shares. The Warrants are exercisable at $11.75 per share after a “Liquidity Event” as defined in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below). If Purchaser acquires the full 900,506 Shares it is seeking in the Offer, together with the Advisor Shares and the Settlement Trust Shares, Purchaser would own 2,624,830 Shares (the “Purchased Shares”) representing approximately 33.9% of the Company’s outstanding Shares. If in addition to acquiring the Purchased Shares it acquired all of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, Purchaser would beneficially own 4,326,958 Shares, representing approximately 45.8% of the Company’s outstanding Shares.
