Storage Deluxe Property Acquisition

 

On April 25, 2012, as part of the Company’s $560 million acquisition of 22 Storage Deluxe Class A self-storage facilities located primarily in the greater New York City area, the Company closed on the purchase of one of the remaining two Storage Deluxe facilities that the Company had not yet acquired as of March 31, 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $59.3 million (including the assumption of approximately $24.7 million in liabilities).  The Company used borrowings under its $100 million unsecured term loan due 2017 and under its unsecured revolving credit facility to fund this acquisition.
