Third Quarter Dividend Set At 7.8 Cents Per Common Share

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Regency Affiliates, Inc. (OTC Pink: RAFI) ("Regency") today announced that it will pay a quarterly dividend of 7.8 cents per common share on October 8, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of trading on September 30, 2024.

Management Comments

"We are pleased to declare a quarterly dividend of 7.8 cents per common share reflecting a 4% increase over the quarterly dividend paid in October 2023," commented Laurence Levy, Chairman, CEO and CFO of Regency. "We continue to be comfortable with this dividend level particularly as we benefit from the cash flows generated by the portfolio of self-storage assets in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and our cash resources."

"Regency owns five stand-alone self-storage facilities in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania vicinity acquired for a total purchase price of $35MM of which $25.3MM was financed via a non-recourse ten-year debt financing, with a four-year interest only period that ended in May 2020 and thereafter a thirty-year amortization schedule. The debt financing has a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum and matures on May 6, 2026. The facilities were purchased via a joint venture with SSCP Management LLC ("SSCP"). Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture, Regency earns a 7.5% per annum preferred distribution on its $11.2MM capital contribution. Surplus cash flow after the preferred distribution is allocated 80% to Regency and 20% to SSCP."

"Surplus cash is currently retained within the venture. Such surplus cash exceeds $3.85MM and is invested in short-term US Treasuries. We remain pleased with the continued strong occupancy and related cash flows at our self-storage facilities."

"Our Security West investment represents a 50% limited partnership interest in real estate previously occupied under a lease with the United States General Services Administration ("GSA"). On September 30, 2021, Security Land and Development Company Limited Partnership received a notice under GSA's lease to terminate the lease and vacate the building effective November 1, 2023."

"While the lease termination by GSA creates uncertainty about Regency's investment in Security West, we have several reasons to be optimistic about this investment. Security West management is currently working with a team of professional real estate advisors and is evaluating alternative uses for the facility and real estate. On June 30, 2024, the partnership was debt free and held cash of approximately $7MM which provides significant financial flexibility. Security West's manager has expressed confidence that, based on current markets conditions and other factors, there should be demand for Security West's space or real estate from private sector tenants or investors. We will keep our shareholders updated about future developments at Security West."

"From time to time Regency and the general partner of Security West have engaged in discussions intended to settle the tax dispute between the partners in Security West and any related liability for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties. No such settlement has been achieved to date and no assurance can be given that the parties will ever reach a settlement of the dispute."

"We are continuing to review and evaluate further investment and cost reduction opportunities for Regency and intend to grow the company by acquiring or otherwise investing in other attractive long-term businesses that meet our investment characteristics and valuation criteria."

In order to facilitate efficient processing of the dividend, management strongly suggests all shareholders with shares held in certificate form contact our transfer agent, Transfer Online, Inc. at (503) 227-2950 and confirm that the registration information is correct
