Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2015, four agreements (collectively, the “Agreement”) previously entered into by Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”) is the sole general partner, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Seller”), and SOF-X U.S. Acquisitions, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), a joint venture between an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group and affiliates of Vanderbilt Partners and Trinity Capital Advisors, became binding obligations of the Seller and the Buyer. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to purchase all of Seller’s right, title and interest in a real estate portfolio, which constitutes all of the Company’s wholly-owned suburban office properties located in Nashville, Raleigh, South Florida and St. Louis and consists of 62 buildings that have an aggregate of 6.9 million square feet and 57 acres of undeveloped land. The aggregate purchase price, which was determined through arm’s length negotiations between the parties, will be approximately $1.12 billion to be paid at closing in a combination of approximately $920 million in cash and approximately $200 million in seller financing, subject to adjustment for closing pro-rations, allocations and adjustments. As of January 28, 2015, the Buyer had paid a nonrefundable earnest money deposit of $30 million.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. There are no assurances that the conditions will be met or that the transaction will be consummated. The parties to the Agreement anticipate that the closing of the transaction will occur on or about April 1, 2015, except for the one property currently under construction, which is expected to close upon completion in late 2015. Neither the Operating Partnership nor the other Sellers, nor any affiliates of the Operating Partnership or other Sellers, have a material relationship with the Buyer.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 28, 2015, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

On January 29, 2015, the Company also held a conference call to discuss the Company’s financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Form 8-K, a copy of the transcript from the conference call (the “Transcript”) is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by this reference. The Transcript has been selectively edited to facilitate the understanding of the information communicated during the conference call.
