On December 24, 2013, the Company closed on the first settlement (the “December settlement”) of the Transaction.  The proceeds from the first settlement were $367.7 million and included 49 properties totalling approximately four million square feet and 140 acres of land.  The closing date for the remaining settlement is projected for late January 2014 (the “January settlement”).

 

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 presents our historical amounts, adjusted for the effects of the Transaction, as if the Transaction had occurred on September 30, 2013.

 

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position would have been had the Transaction actually occurred on September 30, 2013, nor does it purport to represent our future financial position.

 

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 present our historical amounts, adjusted for the effects of the Transaction, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2010.

 

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of what our actual results of operations would have been had the Transaction actually occurred on January 1, 2010, nor do they purport to represent our future results of operations.
