Item 8.01 |
Other Events. |
(i) On November 24, 2006, we prepaid a secured note (the Defeased Note) having an outstanding balance of $180.1 million. As previously disclosed by us in other filings with the SEC, the Defeased Note had a maturity date of February 2007 and related to a voluntary defeasance of secured debt by Prentiss Properties Trust (Prentiss) in the fourth quarter of 2005. We acquired Prentiss by merger on January 5, 2006. Pursuant to the defeasance, Prentiss transferred the secured debt to an unrelated entity together with funds to acquire U.S. Treasury Securities sufficient to provide for the payment in full of debt service (including interest and principal) on the Defeased Note from the defeasance date through the loan maturity date. Proceeds from the sale of the U.S. Treasury Securities, which had been shown on our balance sheet as investment in marketable securities, of approximately $182.1 million were used to prepay the Defeased Note.
(ii) On November 29, 2006, we gave notice of redemption of the $300 million floating rate guaranteed notes due 2009 (the 2009 Notes) issued by Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. on January 2, 2007. The operating partnership issued the 2009 Notes on March 28, 2006. As previously disclosed by us in other filings with the SEC, on October 4, 2006, the operating partnership issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% exchangeable guaranteed notes due 2026 (the Exchangeable Notes) and issued an additional $45.0 million of Exchangeable Notes on October 16, 2006 to cover over-allotments. The operating partnership invested a portion of the net proceeds from the Exchangeable Notes in short-term securities pending their application to fund the redemption of the 2009 Notes in January 2007.
