On December 27, 2012, Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), through its Comstock Redland Road, L.C. subsidiary (the “Borrower”), entered into a Purchase Money Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Deed of Trust Note, and related documents (the “Loan Documents”) with Eagle Bank (“Lender”) pursuant to which the Borrower secured a Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollar ($2,500,000) acquisition bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) to finance the Company’s acquisition of property directly adjacent to the Shady Grove Metro in Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland (the “Property”). The Company intends to build 36 townhome units, three single family moderately priced dwelling units, and a 117-unit multi-family residential building (the “Project”) on the Property. Under the terms of the Loan Documents, the Bridge Loan has a maturity date of ninety (90) days and provides for an interest rate of five percent (5%). The Bridge Loan is secured by a second deed of trust on the Project and the Company’s Eclipse project and is fully guaranteed by the Company, Comstock Potomac Yard, L.C. and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In connection with the maturity of the Bridge Loan and the Seller Financing, hereafter defined, the Lender has issued to the Borrower a commitment to provide the acquisition and development financing for the Project, the construction financing for the townhome and single family units and an affiliate of the Lender has issued a commitment for mezzanine financing for the Project.
