ITEM
1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL AGREEMENT
On
August 18, 2025, Educational Development Corporation (“EDC”, the “Company” or “Seller”) executed
a Commercial AG真人官方 Estate Sale Contract (“Contract”) with a Buyer for the Company’s headquarters and distribution warehouse
located at 5400-5402 South 122nd East Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146 (the “Hilti Complex”).
The
agreed upon sale price of the Hilti Complex per the executed Contract totaled $32,500,000. The proceeds from the sale will be utilized
to pay off the Term Loans and Revolving Loan outstanding in the Credit Agreement with the Company’s Bank. At closing, EDC will
assign the existing third-party tenant leases to the Buyer and will execute a separate Triple-Net Lease (the “Lease”) for
its occupied space in the Hilti Complex. The Agreement provides the buyer with an initial due diligence period of 45 days to complete
inspections after which the earnest money in the agreement becomes non-refundable. The Buyer will then have 45 days to complete the purchase.
The
terms of the lease will be 10 years, and the initial lease rate will be $8.00 per square foot, with 2.5% annual escalations. The Seller
will also have two five-year renewal and extension options with 2.5% increases annually in the base rental rate of the preceding year.
The Lease will also include triple-net terms, where the Seller and other tenants will be responsible for utilities, insurance, property
taxes, and regular maintenance..
The
foregoing descriptions are a summary of the material terms of the Contract and are not complete. These descriptions are qualified in
all respects subject to the actual provisions of the sale Contract and Lease with the Buyer.
