Aimco Announces Expansion of Process to Maximize Shareholder Value Following Agreement to Sell Brickell Properties

, /PRNewswire/ -- As previously announced on December 30, 2024, Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco" or the "Company") (NYSE: AIV) entered into an agreement to sell the properties located at 1001 Brickell Bay Drive and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive in Miami, Florida (together referred to as the "Brickell Assemblage") for a gross price of $520 million. The buyer has completed due diligence and has made a non-refundable deposit of $38 million. Aimco intends to return the majority of the net proceeds from the transaction, after accounting for the associated property-level debt and deferred tax liability, to shareholders. The pending sale of the Brickell Assemblage marks an important step in Aimco's efforts to simplify its holdings and to unlock value for shareholders. Upon closing of the Brickell Assemblage transaction, which is subject to certain closing conditions and extension options, Aimco will primarily consist of a portfolio of more than 5,200 well-located apartment homes that we believe is well-positioned to experience strong revenue growth, nearly 1,000 newly constructed apartment homes that are expected to be occupancy stabilized within the next 12 months, one active development project located on Miami's waterfront, and a deep pipeline for future growth that includes more than 7.7 million square feet of development potential. Since the spin-off of Apartment Income REIT Corp. in December of 2020, Aimco has delivered consistently strong operational performance with average annual same store NOI growth of greater than 7.6%, successfully completed more than $1.3 billion of development projects, secured attractively priced long-dated financing, significantly improved corporate governance, and pro forma for the Brickell sale, will have closed more than $1.7 billion of asset sales and returned substantial capital to shareholders, including the special dividend slated for January 31, 2025, as previously announced. These results were achieved by a dedicated and experienced team that is active in its approach to investment and portfolio management and prudent in the allocation of shareholder capital. We are pleased with the transformation of the Aimco portfolio and the objective results delivered over the past four years. However, our shares continue to trade at a meaningful discount to our estimate of the private market value of our assets and investment platform, which we believe has limited our ability to fund new investment opportunities and accelerate growth. Therefore, the Aimco Board of Directors has decided to explore additional alternatives in an effort to further unlock and maximize shareholder value. The exploration will expand upon Aimco's ongoing efforts such as reducing exposure to development activity and monetizing certain assets, and include, but not be limited to, exploration of potential sales of the major components of the business (in one or a series of transactions), an acceleration of individual asset sales, or a sale or merger of the Company as a whole. Our guiding principle will be to produce an outcome that delivers maximum value to Aimco shareholders. The strategic process is being overseen by Aimco's Investment Committee, comprised of four independent Aimco Board Members. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor to Aimco. There can be no assurance that this expanded strategic process will result in any transaction or transactions or other strategic changes or outcomes, and the timing or outcome of any such event is similarly uncertain. Aimco does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to the foregoing unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
