TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: SILA) (“Sila”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”), a net lease real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with a strategic investment focus on the significant, growing, and resilient healthcare sector, today announced the preliminary results of its modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase for cash up to $50 million in value of shares of the Company’s common stock, which expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2024.

Based on the preliminary results by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depositary”), approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock were validly tendered at the final purchase price of $22.60 per share and not properly withdrawn.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, and based on the preliminary results reported by the Depositary, the Company expects to purchase approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $22.60 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $50 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer.

Based on these preliminary results, the number of shares of common stock that the Company expects to purchase in the Offer represents approximately 3.9% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of July 19, 2024. Immediately following payment for the shares of common stock purchased in the Offer, the Company expects to have approximately 55.0 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Due to the oversubscription of the Offer, based on the preliminary results described above, the Company will accept for purchase on a pro rata basis approximately 42% of the shares of common stock properly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the purchase price of $22.60 per share (other than “odd lot” holders, whose shares of common stock will be purchased in full on a priority basis).

The number of shares of common stock expected to be purchased by the Company, the purchase price information and the proration information are preliminary and subject to change.
