Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 19, 2021, Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "PSA") with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mapletree Industrial Trust, a real estate investment trust listed on the Singapore Exchange (collectively, the "Buyers"), for the sale of up to 29 data center properties (the "Properties") owned by the Company (the "Transaction"). The Properties constitute the entirety of the data center properties owned by the Company. The terms of the PSA provide that the total purchase price for the Properties will be approximately $1.32 billion, subject to certain potential purchase price adjustments.
Upon entering into the PSA, the Buyers made a deposit of $40 million (the "Deposit"). The Deposit is not refundable to the Buyers except as otherwise provided in the PSA. If the PSA is terminated due to the Company's default, then the Deposit will become refundable to the Buyers. The PSA contains covenants, representations and warranties that are customary of real estate purchase and sale agreements.
The Transaction may be consummated in one or more closings, subject to the completion of certain customary closing conditions, including no material adverse effect occurring or continuing with respect to the Properties,  individually or taken as a whole.  In the event of a material adverse effect on (i) any individual Property, the Buyers have the right to terminate the PSA with respect to such Property, and (ii) the Properties, taken as a whole, the Buyers have the right to terminate the PSA. The Buyers are obtaining a buy-side representations and warranties insurance policy. The Sellers will only indemnify the Buyers for losses associated with a breach of the representations and warranties up to $3,300,000.
The Transaction is expected to be consummated in one or more closings during the third quarter of 2021. Although the Company believes the Transaction will be consummated, there can be no assurance that the Transaction for any or all of the Properties close or that the timing of the closings is not delayed.
This description of the PSA and the Transaction contemplated by the PSA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete terms and conditions of the PSA, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than historical fact, including those regarding the ability to refund the Deposit and the closing(s) of the Transaction (and the related timing for such closing(s)), may be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided by the same. These statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs regarding operational strategies, anticipated events and trends, the economy, the financial condition of the Company's tenants, the Company's ability to continue to collect rent at current levels, the Company's ability to continue to cover its daily distributions, and other future conditions and are subject to a number of trends and uncertainties. No forward-looking statement is intended to, nor shall it, serve as a guarantee of future performance. You can identify the forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "outlook," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will" and other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions and forecasts of future results. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, but are not limited to, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's tenants and results of operation, the risk that the expected benefits, including long-term cost savings, of the internalization transaction are not achieved, the risk that the expected benefits of the Company's pure-play healthcare REIT
strategy are not achieved, the availability of suitable investment opportunities, changes in interest rates, the availability and terms of financing, general economic conditions, market conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely impact the business of the Company, and other factors, including those described under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2020 and the subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, copies of which are available at www.sec.gov.
