Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 7, 2012, Lexington Realty Trust, which we refer to as the Trust, completed the acquisition of all of the limited partner interests in Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P., which we refer to as NLS, pursuant to the Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated August 31, 2012, among the Trust, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., an operating partnership subsidiary of the Trust, which we refer to as LCIF, Inland American (Net Lease) Sub, LLC, which we refer to as Inland, LMLP GP LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, and NLS.

The purchase price, in the amount of $9,438,348, was paid by the Trust and LCIF to Inland at the closing on September 7, 2012. The assignment of Inland's interest in NLS was effective as of September 1, 2012. Following the closing under the Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Trust, including through LCIF, controls 100% of NLS.

A description of the assets of NLS is set forth in Item 2 of the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2012, under the heading “LEXINGTON NON-CONSOLIDATED PORTFOLIO PROPERTY CHART, As of December 31, 2011” (except for the Fort Collins, CO property, which was sold subsequent to December 31, 2011, and the Russellville, AR and Fort Wayne, IN properties which are owned by separate non-consolidated partnerships), which description is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K, which we refer to as this Current Report.

The foregoing description of the Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the Trust's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
In connection with the acquisition described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report, all indebtedness of NLS is now consolidated with the indebtedness of the Trust. As of June 30, 2012, NLS had approximately $259.0 million of consolidated indebtedness, which consisted primarily of non-recourse mortgage loans.

The information provided under Item 2.01 in this Current Report regarding the closing under the Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
