Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 14, 2009, Capital Trust, Inc. (the "Company") reached an agreement with Kodiak CDO II, Ltd., Talon Total Return QP Partners LP, Talon Total Return Partners LP, GPC 69, LLC, HFR RVA Opal Master Trust and Mr. Paul Strebel (collectively, the "TRUPS Holders") who together held all of the remaining trust preferred securities issued through the Company's statutory trust subsidiary CT Preferred Trust II (the "Trust Securities"), to issue new junior subordinated notes in exchange for $21.875 million face amount of Trust Securities. The Trust Securities were backed by and recorded as junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company with terms that mirror the Trust Securities.
Pursuant to an exchange agreement, dated as of May 14, 2009, by and among the Company and the TRUPS Holders (the "Exchange Agreement"), the Company issued $25.159 million aggregate principal amount of new junior subordinated notes due on April 30, 2036 (an amount equal to 115% of the current aggregate face amount of the Trust Securities being exchanged). The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.
The new junior subordinated notes contain the same terms as, and rank equally with, the junior subordinated notes issued on March 16, 2009. The interest rate payable under the new subordinated notes is 1% per annum from May 14, 2009, through and including April 29, 2012, which is referred to as the modification period. After the modification period, the interest rate will increase to a rate of 7.23% per annum, through and including April 29, 2016, and thereafter a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to three month LIBOR plus 2.44% until maturity. The new junior subordinated notes mature on April 12, 2036 and are freely redeemable by the Company at par at any time. The new junior subordinated notes contain a covenant that through April 30, 2012, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may not declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase or acquire any equity interests, except to the extent necessary to maintain the Company's status as a real estate investment trust. Except for the foregoing, the new junior subordinated notes contain substantially similar provisions as the Trust Securities, including, with respect to events of default.
As part of the agreement with the TRUPS Holders, the Company also agreed to pay a transaction fee of 0.50% of the principal amount of the Trust Securities held by such TRUPS Holder to cover third party fees and costs incurred in connection with the exchange transaction.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement and the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of May 14, 2009, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively.
