On May 13, 2011, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), on the one hand, and Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. and us, on the other. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, we agreed to sell to the Underwriters 10,000,000 of our shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock (“Common Shares”), and we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Common Shares, to cover over-allotments, at the same price.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by us. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Underwriters and us for certain losses or damages arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Common Shares.
The offering was made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-157858) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and effective as of September 4, 2009, a preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Common Shares dated May 12, 2011, and a final prospectus supplement relating to the Common Shares dated May 13, 2011. The closing of the offering occurred May 18, 2011.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement.
On May 12 and 13, 2011, we issued press releases relating to the offering of the Common Shares. Copies of the press releases are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
