Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On June 25, 2010, iStar Financial Inc. completed the sale of 32 real properties, or interests therein, to various subsidiaries of Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. The properties are leased to a diverse group of corporate tenants, primarily on a triple net lease basis.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the portfolio was approximately $1.35 billion, before closing costs and customary prorations of taxes, operating expenses, leasing costs and other items. iStar Financial provided Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. with mezzanine loans totaling approximately $105.6 million as part of its financing for the transaction. The mezzanine loans bear interest at an initial blended rate of 8.8% per annum and have effective maturities of three and five years. The balance of the purchase price was received in cash. iStar Financial used the proceeds from this transaction to repay a $924.8 million loan collateralized by the properties being sold that was scheduled to mature in April 2011, as well as for general corporate purposes.

 

There are no material relationships between iStar Financial or any of its affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of such directors or officers, on the one hand, and Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc., on the other hand, other than in respect of the transaction described in this report.

iStar Financial Inc.

 

Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(unaudited)

 

Basis of Presentation

 

On June 25, 2010, iStar Financial Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale of 32 real properties, or interests therein (the “Portfolio”), to various subsidiaries of Dividend Capital Total Realty Trust Inc. (the “Buyer”). The properties are leased to a diverse group of corporate tenants, primarily on a triple net lease basis.

 

The aggregate purchase price for the portfolio was approximately $1.35 billion, before closing costs and customary prorations of taxes, operating expenses, leasing costs and other items. The Company provided the Buyer with mezzanine loans totaling approximately $105.6 million as part of its financing for the transaction. The mezzanine loans bear interest at an initial blended rate of 8.8% per annum and have effective maturities of three and five years. The balance of the purchase price was received in cash. The Company used the proceeds from this transaction to repay a $924.8 million loan collateralized by the properties being sold that was scheduled to mature in April 2011, as well as for general corporate purposes.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2010 has been prepared to reflect the effect of the disposition of the Portfolio as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are presented assuming the sale of the Portfolio had been completed on January 1, 2007.
