REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Rockpoint Transactions
On April 5, 2023, Veris Residential Trust (“VRT”), the Company’s former subsidiary through which the Company conducted its multifamily residential real estate operations prior to its transformation to a pure play multifamily REIT, exercised its right to purchase and redeem direct and indirect interests (the “Put/Call Interests”) in preferred units of limited partnership interests in VRLP (the "Preferred Units") from certain affiliates of Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. (Rockpoint Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates, collectively, “Rockpoint”). On April 6, 2023, Rockpoint exercised its right under the Veris Residential Partners, L.P. (“VRLP”) Partnership Agreement to defer the closing of VRT’s purchase and redemption of the Put/Call Interests for one year. The exercise of the call right resulted in a reclassification of Rockpoint's interests as mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests under the accounting guidance, and included within the Total liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Following this, subsequent changes in redemption value at each period end were recorded as interest cost, provided that the carrying value is not reduced below the initial measurement amount.
On July 25, 2023, VRT and the Operating Partnership entered into the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement with Rockpoint pursuant to which VRT and the Operating Partnership acquired from Rockpoint all of the Preferred Units that constituted the Put/Call Interests for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $520 million. Under the terms of the Rockpoint Purchase Agreement, the Original Investment Agreement and the Add On Investment Agreement have been terminated and are of no further force and effect (other than certain tax and related indemnification rights and obligations), Rockpoint ceased to be, direct or indirect, as applicable, members of VRLP, and all obligations of VRT and VRLP and all rights, title and interest of Rockpoint in and pursuant to the VRLP Partnership Agreement (except for certain tax, confidentiality and indemnification rights and obligations) and all other agreements by and between the General Partner, the Operating Partnership, VRT, VRLP and Rockpoint were terminated, including without limitation all provisions relating to the valuation and repurchase of the Put/Call Interests. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded the change in
redemption value for the year ended December 31, 2023, of approximately $34.8 million as Interest cost of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
