Village Super Market Inc. has entered into a new financing agreement with Valley National Bank Community Investment Fund, LLC under the federal New Markets Tax Credit $(NMTC)$ program to support the construction of a replacement store in East Orange, New Jersey. As part of the transaction, VSM New Markets II LLC, an affiliate of Village Super Market, loaned $4.4 million at a 1.0% annual interest rate to an investment fund managed by Valley Bank. Valley Bank also contributed $1.9 million to the fund, which is expected to benefit from NMTC-related tax credits. The investment fund then provided $6 million to a certified community development entity $(CDE)$, which in turn loaned $5.6 million to a Village Super Market subsidiary at a 1.24% interest rate to help finance the project. The arrangement, including related party transactions, was approved by the company’s Audit Committee.
