Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 12, 2005, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), priced an offering of $150 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on January 15, 2015 and bear interest at 5.125%, with interest payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year outstanding, beginning July 15, 2005.  The Operating Partnership estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $148.1 million from the sale of the Notes which are intended to be used to reduce outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.  The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes at any time upon payment of a make-whole amount.  The closing of the offering is expected to occur on January 25, 2005.

 

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Wachovia Capital Markets Inc. for themselves and as representatives of the underwriters named on Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”).  The material terms of the Underwriting Agreement provide for the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters on the terms set forth in the preceding paragraph and include certain representations, warranties and covenants, conditions to closing and other obligations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters that are customary in an underwritten public offering.

 

Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters of this offering are lenders on the Company’s $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  In addition, Vincent Tese, a member of the board of directors of the Company, currently serves as a member of the board of directors of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., an affiliate of one of the Underwriters.

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby files the following documents:
