Effective December 10, 2010, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) of CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), delivered election notices in response to exchange notices received November 10, 2010 from seven trusts for the benefit of members of the family of David H. Jacobs, covering an aggregate of 9,807,013 Series J special common units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership. In accordance with the Company’s right to deliver either shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) or their cash equivalent (as determined pursuant to the Partnership Agreement) to complete these exchanges, the Company has elected to issue an aggregate of 9,807,013 shares of Common Stock.
The closing of these transactions is scheduled to take place on Monday, December 20, 2010. We believe the issuance of these shares is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof because it does not involve a public offering or sale. No underwriters, brokers or finders were involved in these transactions.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
