Elme Communities has filed updated pro forma financials reflecting its previously completed sale of Echo Sub LLC, which held 19 multifamily properties, for an aggregate contract sale price of $1.606 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments. After this portfolio sale, Elme now owns 10 remaining properties that are expected to be sold under a Plan of Sale and Liquidation approved by shareholders on October 30, 2025. On November 12, 2025, Elme used the sale proceeds to repay or discharge all obligations under its revolving credit facility, term loan and private placement notes, and to fully defease its 7.25% senior notes due 2028. The company simultaneously entered into a new senior secured term loan of $520.0 million secured by the 10 remaining properties, and its pro forma statements show larger net losses driven mainly by property dispositions, debt extinguishment and related costs, alongside suspension of future regular quarterly dividends.
