Effective June 28, 2013, Amy L. Boyle resigned as the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President and Treasurer of Clarion Partners Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”).

 

Ms. Boyle did not have any disagreements with management or the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company related to the Company’s practices, policies, or strategy.

 

Item 8.01                   Other Events

 

On June 28, 2013, the Board voted to approve a liquidation and dissolution of the Company. In connection therewith, the Board also approved the termination of sales of the Company’s common stock pursuant to its public offering as of June 28, 2013, the termination of the daily NAV calculations as of June 28, 2013, and the termination of distribution payments to the Company’s stockholders after the previously approved distribution, in respect of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013, is made. The liquidation and dissolution of the Company must be approved by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Board has scheduled a special meeting of stockholders to vote on the liquidation and dissolution of the Company for on or around August 16, 2013 and has set the close of business on June 28, 2013 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. The Company expects to mail proxy materials for the meeting as promptly as practicable after the June 28, 2013 record date. Assuming stockholders approve the liquidation and dissolution of the Company at the August 16, 2013 special meeting, the Company will pay its remaining liabilities and distribute cash to stockholders. Clarion Partners LLC, the Company’s sponsor, owns approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and has stated it will vote to approve the liquidation and dissolution of the Company.

 

The Company’s redemption plan will remain open until July 31, 2013, pursuant to which stockholders may request that the Company redeem their shares at a price equal to the NAV as of June 28, 2013, which was $10.17 per share. The amount of the distribution paid to stockholders for each of their shares upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Company may reflect liquidation expenses and be less than the NAV of $10.17 per share as of June 28, 2013.
