Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. Purchase and Sale Agreement On May 26, 2026, First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey, Inc. (the “Trust” or the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an affiliate of Regency Centers Corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Seller will sell to the Purchaser 100% of Seller’s ownership interests in the Westwood Plaza shopping center located at 700 Broadway in Westwood, New Jersey (“Westwood Plaza”) in exchange for the purchase price of $28,800,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Upon signing the Agreement, the Purchaser delivered into escrow a deposit in the amount of $1,200,000 (the “Initial Westwood Plaza Deposit”), which is refundable during a 120-day due diligence period immediately following the signing. After the expiration of this period on September 23, 2026, the Initial Westwood Plaza Deposit becomes non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Agreement. If the Purchaser elects to proceed with the transaction after the expiration of the initial 120-day due diligence period, the Purchaser is obligated to deposit into escrow an additional amount of $1,000,000, which is non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Agreement. Upon expiration of the initial 120-day due diligence period, the Purchaser has the option of entering into a second due diligence period for up to an additional nine months. The Purchaser is obligated to pay to the Seller $50,000 for each month that it elects to engage in due diligence during the second due diligence period. Payments made by the Purchaser to extend the due diligence period are non-refundable except in the event of a breach by Seller and are not applied to the purchase price at closing. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnity provisions. The parties’ respective obligations under the Agreement are subject to certain customary conditions and termination rights, including the right of either the Seller or the Purchaser to terminate the Agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before August 15, 2027. There is no financing contingency under the Agreement. The Board of Directors of the Trust unanimously approved the Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby. The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement has been included as an exhibit to provide information regarding its terms. The inclusion of the Agreement as an exhibit is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Trust or the Purchaser. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement as of the specific date therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
