Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 27, 2005, Kite Group Realty Trust (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Lehman Brothers Inc., Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer and sell 8,500,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share. The closing of this offering is expected to occur on or about October 3, 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,275,000 common shares of the Company. Such option has not yet been exercised. The Company made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants concerning the Company and the registration statement in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Some of the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company. Affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and KeyBanc Capital Markets, three of the Underwriters, are currently lenders under the Company’s $150 million secured revolving credit facility and will therefore receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering through the anticipated partial repayment of indebtedness under the credit facility.
