Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2013, Physicians Realty Trust (the “Company”) through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, Physicians Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into a membership interest contribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with all 29 members (the “Sellers”) of Crescent City Surgical Centre Facility, LLC (the “CCSC Facility”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire CCSC Facility including its single asset, a surgical center building in the New Orleans, Louisiana metropolitan area for approximately $37.5 million. The Company funded the cash purchase price with proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering plus the issuance of 954,877, in the aggregate, of Operating Partnership common units (“OP units”) by the Operating Partnership to the Sellers. At closing, the Sellers caused CCSC Facility to pay off all debt incurred by CCSC Facility to develop the surgical center building.  The surgical center building will be leased to Crescent City Surgical Centre, LLC (“Crescent City Surgical”) until 2028 with initial rent equal to $3,000,000 per year, with annual rent escalations of 3%, representing an initial yield of 8%, excluding transaction costs.  Crescent City Surgical is also owned by the Sellers.

The Company closed on the acquisition on September 30, 2013.

A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The foregoing is only a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, copies of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.  Holders of the OP units will be entitled to certain redemption rights which allow them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the OP units in exchange for cash, or at the Operating Partnership’s option, for the Company’s common shares on a one-for-one basis.

The issuance of the OP units to the Sellers at the closing and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) thereof for transactions not involving a public offering.
