Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Purchase of Dallas Office Building. On November 25, 2002, we completed the
acquisition of the Chateau Plaza office building (the "Property"). The Property
is located in Dallas, Texas, contains approximately 171,000 rentable square feet
and is located on approximately one acre of land. The aggregate purchase price
for the Property was $22,000,000, which was paid with $15,400,000 from the
proceeds of a loan from Fleet National Bank (the "Fleet Loan") and the balance
paid in cash from a portion of the proceeds of our May 2002 public offering.
The Property was purchased from WXI/CHA Real Estate L.P. (the "Seller"), an
unrelated party. The purchase price of the Property was determined through
negotiations between the Seller and us.
The Fleet Loan represents the second draw on a $30,000,000 revolving credit
facility from Fleet National Bank. The original draw was used to purchase the
Centerra office building located in Denver, Colorado and the facility is cross
collateralized by mortgages on both properties. The Fleet Loan bears interest at
LIBOR plus 275 basis points, due in monthly installments of interest only, with
the principal balance and accrued interest due on November 12, 2005. This loan
may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
For a more complete description of this transaction, please see the Agreement of
Purchase and Sale between us and the Seller dated September 24, 2002 (the
"Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and
our press release dated November 26, 2002, a copy of which is attached to this
Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The schedules and exhibits to the Purchase Agreement, a listing of which are
included therein, have not been filed herewith. The schedules and exhibits will
be furnished supplementally to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon
request.
