Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 15, 2005, Mack-Cali Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the operating partnership of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “General Partner”), priced an offering of $100 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on January 15, 2016 and bear interest at 5.80%, with interest payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year outstanding, beginning July 15, 2006.  The Operating Partnership estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $99 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.  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 November 30, 2005.

 

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Operating Partnership and the General Partner entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (the “Underwriters”).  The terms of the Underwriting Agreement, which provide for the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters, are as set forth in the preceding paragraph.  Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters of this offering are lenders on the Operating Partnership’s $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1.

 

Item 7.01                                             Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On November 16, 2005, the General Partner issued a press release announcing the sale of the Notes. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
