FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: April 2, 2020 Ashley Spitz [email protected] 917-882-9229 OUT OF THE BOX VENTURES TAKES COMPASSIONATE CAPITALISM APPROACH Retail Landlord Chooses To Support Tenants By Slashing Rents Miami, FL – Out of the Box Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Miami-based global real estate development firm, Lionheart Capital, is taking a unique and compassionate approach toward their tenants’ obligations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of the Box Ventures is supporting their tenants during this unprecedented economic situation as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic by significantly reducing rents for most tenants during this challenging time. This translates to a rent drop for these tenants of 60% to 70%. In addition, the company is committed to passing along any further savings they may be able to receive from governmental or private institutions. These reductions will not take the form of a loan or promissory note, but instead will represent partial rent forgiveness for at least the next sixty days. OOTBV has announced that along with decreasing operational expenses to a minimum it will forgo profits for the duration of the closures. “At Out of the Box we are taking different approach,” says Founder and CEO Ophir Sternberg. “We believe that we are in the same boat as our tenants. Their success is our success. Therefore, we are offering our tenants rent relief. We have committed to withhold corporate profit taking, charge tenants the minimum rent possible, and pass along any additional savings that may be available from public or private entities. We are asking that the tenants who elect to participate in this offering only pay their share of common area maintenance fees and taxes with no obligation to repay the balance of their rent for April and May,” announced Sternberg.
