Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On October 17, 2016, UCP, Inc. (“UCP”), a 56.9% owned subsidiary of PICO Holdings, Inc. (“PICO”), and the entity through which PICO conducts its Real Estate Operations business, determined not to pursue the potential $25 million secured revolving acquisition, development and construction loan facility that it was negotiating at this time. Accordingly, after giving effect to the pending private offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 by UCP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, UCP, LLC and UCP Finance Corp. (the “Notes Offering”), the application of a portion of the net proceeds therefrom to repay all of UCP’s outstanding debt and the related termination of certain of UCP’s existing credit facilities, UCP would have had approximately $25 million of secured loan commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2016, of which approximately $11.8 million would have been available for additional borrowing. In light of the Notes Offering and UCP’s existing sources of financing, it determined that its business plan does not require, at this time, the additional liquidity that would be provided by the potential $25 million facility. No assurance can be given that the pending Notes Offering will be consummated, and, if the Notes Offering is not consummated, UCP will reevaluate its capital needs and sources of liquidity.
