Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) has executed a Commercial Real Estate Contract to sell its Tulsa headquarters and distribution warehouse (Hilti Complex) for $32.5 million. The transaction, expected to close after a 45-day due diligence period, excludes an adjacent land parcel.
The complex spans 402,000 square feet with existing tenants Hilti (183,800 sq ft) and Crusoe AI (110,000 sq ft). EDUC will lease back its space at $8.00 per square foot with 2.5% annual increases under a 10-year triple-net lease agreement. The sale proceeds will be used to pay off the company's Term Loans and Revolving Loan, improving monthly cash flows as interest savings will exceed rental payments.
Educational Development Corporation (NASDAQ: EDUC) has secured a Ninth Amendment to its Credit Agreement with BOKF, NA, extending the Revolving Loan maturity date to September 19, 2025. The extension aligns the revolving loan maturity with the company's existing real estate term loans.
CEO Craig White indicated that the company is exploring multiple solutions to pay off the line of credit, including potential sale or refinancing of the Hilti Complex. The company continues to make scheduled principal and interest payments on both Revolving and Term Loans.
