Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On November 10, 2016, National Storage Affiliates Trust (the "Company"), through its operating partnership, NSA OP, LP, completed its acquisition of a portfolio of 26 self storage properties, which was previously disclosed to be under contract, consisting of 1.8 million square feet with locations in four states, from unrelated third party sellers controlled by Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors, LLC ("Kayne Anderson") for approximately $185 million in cash, funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's credit facility.
Based on the Company’s underwriting, the Company believes the aggregate purchase price of the 26 properties acquired represents an underwritten capitalization rate of approximately 5.9%.
The Company calculates its underwritten capitalization rate by dividing the anticipated cash net operating income from the self storage properties acquired for the twelve months immediately following the acquisition date (based upon information provided by the sellers of these properties in the diligence process and certain assumptions applied by the Company related to anticipated occupancy, rental rates and expenses over such period), by the total aggregate purchase price plus anticipated capital expenditures for the twelve months immediately following the acquisition date. The Company calculated the anticipated cash net operating income by subtracting anticipated operating expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and supervisory and administrative fees) at each property from the anticipated cash income from the property.
The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the underwritten capitalization rate described above because it is based on information provided by the sellers of these properties in the diligence process and certain assumptions applied by the Company related to anticipated occupancy, rental rates and expenses over the twelve months immediately following the acquisition date and it is calculated on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, the actual capitalization rate may differ from the underwritten capitalization rate described above based on changes to the assumptions described above.
Item 9.01.    Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Properties Acquired
The financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K will be filed by amendment no later than 71 calendar days after the date this Current Report on Form 8-K is required to be filed.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K will be filed by amendment no later than 71 calendar days after the date this Current Report on Form 8-K is required to be filed.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Not applicable.
