Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On April 29, 2019, a wholly owned subsidiary of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership subsidiary of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the “Company” and, together with the Operating Partnership, the “Armada Hoffler Parties”), entered into contribution agreements (the “Agreements”) to acquire Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in Virginia Beach, VA (the “Properties”) in an off-market transaction with Venture Realty Group, an unrelated third party (the “Transaction”).

The Agreements provide that the Operating Partnership will acquire both Properties for total consideration of $105 million, which is comprised of an aggregate of 4.1 million units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership valued at $15.55 per unit, the assumption of $36 million of mortgage debt and $5 million of cash. The Company anticipates completing both acquisitions in the second quarter of 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Properties as of April 29, 2019:

In connection with the Transaction, the Armada Hoffler Parties expect to enter into a tax protection agreement with the contributors pursuant to which the Armada Hoffler Parties will agree, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify the contributors for up to 10 years against certain tax liabilities incurred by them, if such liabilities result from a transaction involving a direct or indirect taxable disposition of either or both Properties or if the Operating Partnership fails to maintain and allocate to such holders for taxation purposes minimum levels of Operating Partnership liabilities.
