Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 27, 2008 we agreed to sell five properties in Oakland, California for an
aggregate gross sales price of $412.5 million. The five properties contain
approximately 1.7 million net rentable square feet and are comprised of: One
Kaiser Plaza ("The Ordway"); 1901 Harrison Street; 1333 Broadway; 2101 Webster
Street; and 2100 Franklin Street. As of May 31, 2008 the properties (other than
2100 Franklin Street) were 88.7% occupied. 2100 Franklin is a newly-developed,
unoccupied office property. The purchase also includes our condominium interest
in a parking garage at 2353 Webster Street. The purchaser of the portfolio, an
affiliate of the CIM Group ("CIM"), is unaffiliated with us and the terms of
sale were determined through arm's-length negotiation.
We expect closing of the sale to occur in the third quarter of 2008, subject to
customary closing conditions. We cannot provide assurance that all conditions to
closing will be satisfied or that closing will occur in the third quarter of
2008.
The sales agreement provides for the purchaser to fund the purchase price
through (i) the assumption of three mortgage loans expected to aggregate
approximately $95.6 million at August 31, 2008; (ii) an interest free loan of
$40 million, due in August 2010 which is secured by 2101 Webster Street and 2100
Franklin Street (the "$40.0 million loan") ; and (iii) a cash payment to us of
approximately $276.9 million (or approximately $269.9 million after estimated
transaction costs), subject to customary closing pro rations. The proceeds of
the sale will be used for the repayment of existing debt and to provide cash
balances for general corporate purposes.
We have also agreed to grant CIM a 15 year purchase option (the "purchase
option") for the Two Kaiser Plaza land parcel adjacent to The Ordway and we have
committed to lease to CIM 150 parking spaces on that same parcel for the benefit
of The Ordway's tenants. We will manage and lease the five properties for one
year following the closing in exchange for a market based fee.
Upon our entry into the sales agreement on June 27, 2008 we concluded that under
generally accepted accounting principles we would recognize an approximately
$7.0 million non-cash impairment charge with respect to the properties for the
quarter ending June 30, 2008. We based our conclusion upon the sales price for
the properties and our assessment of current market conditions and the physical
condition and the financial operating performance of the properties.
Approximately, $3.2 million of this impairment loss is attributable to imputed
interest on the $40.0 million loan, while $0.5 million is attributable to the
value assigned to the purchase option.
