Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

iStar Inc., the largest stockholder of Safety, Income and Growth, Inc. (the “Company”), trusts established by Jay Sugarman, the Company’s and iStar’s chairman and chief executive officer, and Geoffrey Jervis, the Company’s and iStar’s chief operating officer and chief financial officer, have entered into a 10b5-1 plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”) in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under which they may buy in the open market up to $25.0 million in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock.  Any purchases under the 10b5-1 Plan will occur during the period beginning after July 24, 2017 and ending on the earlier of the date on which all the capital committed to the plan is exhausted or November 10, 2017.  Shares will be purchased under the 10b5-1 Plan when the market price per share is below $20.00 and will accelerate with declines in the market price.  Purchases will be allocated 98% to iStar, 1% to the Sugarman trusts and 1% to Mr. Jervis.

 

Purchases of shares pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan are intended to satisfy the conditions of Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances.  Whether purchases will be made under the 10b5-1 Plan and how much will be purchased at any time is uncertain and dependent on prevailing market prices and trading volumes, all of which we cannot predict.  These activities may have the effect of maintaining the market price of the Company’s common stock or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the Company’s common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market.
