Sila Realty Trust, Inc. amends its Offer to Purchase to clarify disclosures regarding ownership limitations

TAMPA, Fla.--()--Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: SILA) (“Sila” or the “Company”), in connection with a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer (the “Offer”), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an Offer to Purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) on June 13, 2024 (which was subsequently amended on June 13, 2024 and July 3, 2024). Today, July 15, 2024, Sila further amended the Offer to Purchase to delete disclosures relating to the risk that the constructive and beneficial ownership limitations in the Company’s charter could impact stockholders. As explained further below, given the lack of concentrated ownership of any stockholder, it is mathematically impossible for the beneficial or constructive ownership limitations in the Company’s charter to apply to any stockholder as a result of the Offer (assuming (a) the Company’s stockholders have complied with applicable securities laws and rules regarding beneficial ownership reporting and (b) the beneficial ownership determination for securities purposes and the beneficial or constructive ownership determination for purposes of the Company’s charter and applicable tax provisions yield substantially identical results for the purposes of the Company, as it fully and reasonably believes).

Under Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, along with Regulation 13D-G, an investor who beneficially owns more than 5.0% of a covered class of equity securities of the Company is required to publicly file either a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, as applicable. According to EDGAR filings, no stockholder has filed either a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G reporting ownership of over 5.0% of the Company’s common stock. Thus, assuming stockholders have complied with the required filings relating to beneficial ownership, no stockholder owns more than 5.0% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. Assuming that the Offer results in the most shares of common stock being bought at the lowest purchase price of $22.60, a hypothetical stockholder owning 5.0% of the shares of common stock before the Offer, and who did not tender any shares in the Offer or purchase any shares during such time period, would hold merely 5.2% of shares of common stock after the Offer.

As a result, assuming stockholders have complied with the required filings relating to beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock, there is no mathematical possibility that any stockholder would exceed the 9.8% beneficial or constructive ownership limitations set forth in the Company’s charter as a result of the Offer.
