The stock rallied 16.5% following the announcement of a transformative contribution agreement with Industrial Realty Group, creating a scaled industrial REIT platform that significantly expands Sachem’s asset base and recurring cash flows.
- Sachem and IRG are merging assets to form IRG Realty Trust (IRGT), a $3.4 billion enterprise value industrial REIT with 98 industrial properties.
- IRG will own approximately 94% of IRGT post-transaction, with Sachem shareholders holding about 6%.
- The transaction includes a 20:1 reverse stock split, with a post-split reference price near $40 per share.
- IRGT will focus on industrial infrastructure supporting manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution with a tenant base diversified across top 10 tenants representing ~30% of base rent.
- The combined platform targets multiple growth levers including organic lease-up, rent mark-to-market, acquisitions, and expanded capital solutions, while targeting deleveraging from 8x to sub-6x over time.
