Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Forward Purchase Agreement
On November 5, 2008, we executed a Master Terms and Conditions for Issuer for Forward Transactions between Citigroup Financial Products Inc., effective as of October 28, 2008 (the “Master Terms and Conditions”). Pursuant to the Master Terms and Conditions, we agreed to the forward purchase of 3.5 million of our common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.0001 per share (which we refer to as Common Shares), for a forward purchase price of $19.6 million, or $5.60 per share. The Common Shares were previously held by AP LXP Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate Advisors III, L.P. (see Item 8.01 below). The purchase is effective as of October 31, 2008.
As part of the forward purchase, we prepaid in cash 50% of the forward purchase price ($9.8 million) and agreed to make floating payments during the term of the forward purchase at LIBOR plus 250 basis points per annum. The forward purchase contract is required to be settled no later than October 28, 2011. We may settle the forward purchase contract by paying the balance of the purchase price and receiving the underlying shares. Alternatively, at our election, we may elect to net-settle the forward purchase contract either in cash or in Common Shares, or a combination of both.
