Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and Exhibits
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.
