Item 8.01. Other Events.

Recent Developments

On September 14, 2017, we entered into an agreement with certain affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P., or Blackstone, pursuant to which we agreed to sell our 100% interest in Hudson MC Partners, LLC, which holds a 65% interest in the joint venture that owns the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties for a purchase price of $350.0 million. In connection with the sale, Blackstone has agreed to assume the current outstanding loan obligations of $129.0 million for Pinnacle I and $87.0 million for Pinnacle II. The Company expects to receive proceeds of approximately $87.1 million (before closing costs, prorations and adjustments) from the disposition of its indirect 65% interest in the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties.

Pinnacle I is located at 3400 West Olive Avenue in Burbank, California, totals 393,777 square feet and was 97% leased as of June 30, 2017. Pinnacle II is located at 3300 West Olive Avenue in Burbank California, totals 230,000 square feet and was 100% leased as of June 30, 2017.

The disposition of our indirect 65% interest in Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the disposition will close within the expected time frame or at all.

We have experienced significant internal growth in our office portfolio over the last eight quarters through strong leasing activity. The table below sets forth the percentage of rentable square feet leased and leasing spreads in our office portfolio as of and for the periods indicated. Leasing spreads are calculated by dividing initial straight-line rents on new and renewal leases by straight-line rents on expiring leases in the same space. New leases are only included if the same space was leased within the previous 12 months.

(1)  Rent data for our office properties is presented on an annualized basis without regard to cancellation options. Annualized base rent for office properties is calculated by multiplying (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements)) as of June 30, 2017, by (ii) 12. Annualized base rent does not reflect tenant reimbursements.


(2)  Annualized base rent per square foot for all lease expiration years is calculated as (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements)) under commenced leases, divided by (ii) square footage under commenced leases as of June 30, 2017.
(3)  Annualized base rent per square foot at expiration for all lease expiration years is calculated as (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements)) under commenced leases, divided by (ii) square footage under commenced lease as of June 30, 2017.
(4)  152,461 square feet expiring in 2017 have been re-leased pursuant to one or more new leases with respect to occupied space executed on or prior to June 30, 2017 but with commencement dates after June 30, 2017 and within the next eight quarters.
(5)  112,296 square feet expiring in 2018 have been re-leased pursuant to one or more new leases with respect to occupied space executed on or prior to June 30, 2017 but with commencement dates after June 30, 2017 and within the next eight quarters.
(6)  49,799 square feet expiring in 2019 have been re-leased pursuant to one or more new leases with respect to occupied space executed on or prior to June 30, 2017 but with commencement dates after June 30, 2017 and within the next eight quarters.
(7)  Annualized base rent per leased square foot and annualized base rent per square foot at expiration for signed leases not commenced reflects uncommenced leases for space not occupied as of June 30, 2017 and is calculated as (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements)) under uncommenced leases for vacant space as of June 30, 2017, divided by (ii) square footage under uncommenced leases as of June 30, 2017.
(8)  Total expiring square footage does not include 90,051 square feet of month-to-month leases.

(1)  EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of losses from discontinued operations, acquisition-related expenses, certain non-cash items and items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance that are set forth in the reconciliation below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements, including our ability to fund capital expenditures or make payments on our indebtedness. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.


The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

(2)  FFO represents net income or loss, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Further, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP

The following table reconciles net income (loss) to FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

The Company’s ratios of earnings to fixed charges are computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. The Company’s ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends are computed by dividing earnings by the sum of fixed charges and preferred dividends. For these purposes, “earnings” consist of pretax income (loss) from continuing operations before adjustment for equity investees (i.e., pretax income excluding the effects of income or loss from equity investees and discontinued operations), plus fixed charges, amortization of capitalized interest, and distributed income of equity investees, less interest capitalized and less noncontrolling interest in pretax income of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges. Pretax income (loss) from continuing operations is computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and includes such non-cash items as real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of above (below) market rents, and amortization of deferred financing costs and loan premium. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and amortization of deferred financing fees and loan premium, whether expensed or capitalized, interest within rental expense and preference security dividend requirements of the Operating Partnership’s series A preferred units. Interest income is not included in this computation. “Preferred dividends” consist of the amount of pretax earnings required to pay dividends on our series B preferred stock for the periods during which it was outstanding.

The following table sets forth the Operating Partnerships’ historical ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated.

The Operating Partnership’s ratios of earnings to fixed charges are computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For these purposes, “earnings” consist of pretax income (loss) from continuing operations before adjustment for equity investees (i.e., pretax income excluding the effects of income or loss from equity investees and discontinued operations), plus fixed charges, amortization of capitalized interest, and distributed income of equity investees, less interest capitalized and less noncontrolling interest in pre-tax income of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges. Pretax income (loss) from continuing operations is computed in accordance with GAAP and includes such non-cash items as real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of above (below) market rents, and amortization of deferred financing costs and loan premium. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and amortization of deferred financing fees and loan premium, whether expensed or capitalized, and interest within rental expense and.
