Purchase showcases ability to leverage assets for non-dilutive funding

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures for residential, commercial, and point-of-care medicine, announced today that SG Echo LLC (“SG Echo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has purchased the Waldron manufacturing facility in Durant, Oklahoma, which SG Echo has been leasing.

The Waldron manufacturing facility, which has been under lease since November 2021, came with an option to purchase the facility for $1 million. Subsequent to the original lease agreement, the Company funded approximately $2.5 million of upgrades to the facility. As a result, the facility was recently appraised for $5.2 million, which is approximately $1.7 million over the Company’s all-in investment. In turn, SG Echo, LLC secured a $1.75 million commercial mortgage on Waldron and a $1.5 million financing agreement which funded the purchase of the facility as well as provided it with additional working capital.

Paul Galvin, Chairman and CEO of Safe & Green Holdings, commented, "Upon announcing our 2022 fiscal year-end results, we underscored our conviction that we could leverage our assets to obtain non-dilutive debt financing for the Company. This approach would significantly lessen our reliance on the equity markets to finance the Company’s growth. The purchase of the Waldron facility, financed by securing a mortgage against it, further exemplifies the worth of our substantial and expanding asset base.”

“We are now set to begin production at Waldron, which is expected to create 55-65 new U.S. jobs when running at full capacity. With the additional 58,000 square feet of manufacturing space and the addition of a new manufacturing line, this facility has the potential to reach up to $25 million in additional annualized revenue for SG Echo within the next 12 months. We anticipate that Moliving will be the Company’s first client within the Waldron campus. To further support SG Echo's growth, we will continue investing in new capacity, with a third manufacturing campus in Durant, Oklahoma, planned to come online later in 2023. Our experience in Oklahoma has been terrific and we look forward to continuing to build our presence here."
