La Sal Peak Drive, Heber, Utah 84032, and bearing the legal 3 description appended hereto as Exhibit A (the “Heber Land”), and 2394 E. La Sal Peak Drive, Heber, 4 Utah 84032, and bearing the legal description appended hereto as Exhibit B (the “Heber House”) 5 with proceeds from the sale to be transferred from escrow directly to Geoff Winkler (the “Receiver”), 6 the Court-appointed receiver in the above-entitled action, is made by and between the Receiver, in 7 his capacity as receiver in the above-entitled action (“Seller”) and the plaintiff Securities and 8 Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on the one hand, and Defendant Shane M. Jager 9 (“Jager”), on the other hand, by and through their respective representatives, and with respect to the 10 following facts: 11 1. The Receiver was appointed on June 3, 2022 pursuant to this Court’s Order Appointing 2 Receiver [ECF No. 88] which was amended on July 28, 2022 [ECF 207] (collectively the 3 “Appointment Order”); 4 5 6 2. Among other things, the Appointment Order required the turnover of certain personal and real property to the Receiver, including the Heber House and Heber Land; 3. The proposed buyer for the Heber Land and Heber House (sometimes collectively, the 7 “Heber Properties”), is Tige Investments, LLC (“Buyer”). Buyer has agreed to purchase the Heber 18 Land for the sum of $700,000 in accordance with that certain Real Estate Purchase Contract dated 19 November 2, 2022, as amended by Addendums 1-5 (the “Land RSA”) with title to the Heber Land 20 being transferred to On Par, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. Per the Land RSA, the Buyer 21 has deposited $100,000 in a brokerage real estate trust account with Utah Executive Real Estate LC 22 (the “Land Deposit”); 23 4. Buyer has agreed to purchase the Heber House for the sum of $5,225,000 in 24 accordance with that certain Real Estate Purchase Contract dated November 2, 2022, as amended by 25 Addendums 1-7 (the “House RSA”) with title to the Heber House being transferred to Road Less 26 Taken, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. Per the terms of the House RSA, Buyer has deposited 27 $500,000 in a brokerage real estate trust account with Utah Executive Real Estate LC (the “House 28 Deposit; ACTIVE 684387437v3 2 Case 2:22-cv-00612-CDS-EJY Document 422 Filed 01/11/23 Page 3 of 12 1 5. 2 Deposit, and all proceeds of the foregoing sales shall be transmitted to the Receiver, via wire transfer, 3 immediately upon the closing of the sales. It is anticipated that the sales will close within thirty (30) 4 days of the Court’s approval of this Stipulation. The Receiver, Seller, and Jager understand that 5 Buyer’s offer represents fair market value for the Heber Properties; 6 10845 Griffith Peak Drive Suite 600 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 Telephone: (702) 792-3773 Facsimile: (702) 792-9002 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP The Buyer, Seller, Receiver, and Jager have agreed that the Land Deposit, the House 6. The Receiver is seeking to close the sale via this Stipulation in lieu of a receiver’s 7 auction process because recent changes and uncertainties in the real estate marketplace jeopardize the 8 sale of the Heber Properties, and the recovery of the maximum sale proceeds for the benefit of the 9 receivership estate in the immediate term. In most cases, transfers of title from the defendants in the 10 above-entitled action to the Receiver would be necessary in order for the Receiver to conduct the 11 auctions contemplated by 28 U.S.C. § 2001, and the sales procedures already approved by this Court 2 (which include sale pursuant to stipulation, in certain circumstances). However, delays in connection 3 with the closing of the sale that result from the auction process, and the time required by the title 4 company to underwrite title policies, have created untenable delays that could result in the Buyer 5 walking away from the sale; 6 7. The Receiver and his real estate broker believe that delays in the closing beyond the 7 timing contemplated by the Land RSA and the House RSA will jeopardize the sale. As noted above, 18 the market is deteriorating as a result of, among other things, the extraordinary rise in mortgage rates 19 over the past six months. It is possible that if this sale does not close, the Heber Properties may 20 remain on the market through the winter; 21 8. Jager has agreed that, after payment of closing costs and brokers’ commissions, as 22 reflected in the Land RSA and the House RSA, the Land Deposit, the House Deposit, and all sale 23 proceeds from the sale of the Heber Properties shall be wired directly to the Receiver. It is estimated 24 that the net proceeds of the sale, which will be wired to the Receiver, will be approximately 25 $5,545,988; 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// ACTIVE 684387437v3 3 Case 2:22-cv-00612-CDS-EJY Document 422 Filed 01/11/23 Page 4 of 12 1 9. 2 the Buyer’s offer, and anticipated market conditions for homes in this price range, the Receiver, Jager, 3 and the Commission have agreed to the immediate sale of the Heber Properties to the Buyer, on the 4 terms set forth in the Land RSA and House RSA; and 5 10845 Griffith Peak Drive Suite 600 Las Vegas, Nevada 89135 Telephone: (702) 792-3773 Facsimile: (702) 792-9002 10. Accordingly, in light of the unique facts and circumstances surrounding the proposed 6 sale of the Heber Properties including but not limited to the limited market for an “as is” sale of real 7 property, the all-cash terms of the sale, as well as the Receiver’s concerns that failing to immediately 8 move forward with this sale may lead to the receipt of significantly less recovery for the receivership 9 estate, the undersigned parties believe this Stipulation is necessary, and in the best interest of all 10 parties and the receivership estate. Therefore, the undersigned agree that it is appropriate to waive 11 any requirements imposed by 28 U.S.C. § 2001, et. seq. to the extent they are applicable to the offer, 2 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP Based upon the time that the Heber Properties have been on the market, the terms of the Land RSA and the House RSA, and the proposed sale. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the 3 4 undersigned counsel that: 5 A. 6 Seller may sell the Heber Properties pursuant to the offers reflected in the Land RSA and the House RSA; 7 B. 18 The deposits received relating to the Land RSA and the House RSA shall be wired directly to the Receiver; and 19 /// 20 /// 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// ACTIVE 684387437v3 4 Case 2:22-cv-00612-CDS-EJY Document 422 Filed 01/11/23 Page 5 of 12 1 C. 2 Land RSA and the House RSA, the net proceeds of the sales shall be wired directly 3 from escrow to the Receiver. 4 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 5 DATED this 11th day of January 2023.
