Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 24, 2014, certain subsidiaries of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), the operating partnership of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “General Partner”), entered into a series of ten Agreements of Sale and Purchase (the “Purchase Agreements”) with affiliates of Keystone Property Group, L.P. (each, a “Keystone Party” and collectively, the “Keystone Parties”) pursuant to which the Company and the Keystone Parties shall form joint ventures (each, a “Joint Venture” and collectively, the “Joint Ventures”) to acquire title to 15 of the Company’s properties located in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut (each, a “Property” and collectively, the “Properties”).  The Properties consist of 15 office buildings with an aggregate of approximately 2.3 million square feet of office space.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Properties will be sold for an aggregate of approximately $230.8 million, consisting of: (i) $201.7 million in cash; and (ii) subordinated equity interests in each of the properties being sold with capital accounts aggregating $22.2 million; and senior pari-passu equity interests in three of the properties being sold aggregating $6.9 million. The cash component of the purchase price is expected to be funded by an estimated $27.7 million aggregate cash contribution to the Joint Ventures by the Keystone Parties, and an estimated $174 million in financing to be secured by certain of the Properties and to be arranged by the Keystone Parties.

 

The Joint Ventures shall provide: (i) that the approval of the Company shall be required in connection with any major decisions; (ii) that the Company shall receive twenty percent (20%) of any management and construction fees paid to a Keystone Party with respect to any Property and eighty percent (80%) of leasing fees for providing leasing representation; and (iii) for distributions of cash first to the Keystone Parties and the Company until the return of their senior pari-passu equity plus a 15% internal rate of return (“IRR”), second to the Company until the return of its subordinated equity plus a 10% IRR and thereafter 50% to each of the Company and the Keystone Parties. Notwithstanding the cash distribution priority set forth above, distributions of cash will first be made to the members, pro rata, to return any additional cash contributions made by the members above the contributions and interests set forth above plus a 12% IRR. Additional cash contributions require the approval of all members and, if approved, can be made pro rata based upon residual membership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to contribute any additional capital to the Joint Ventures. All of the distribution provisions set forth above are on a venture-by-venture basis and are calculated on a separate basis for each Property.

 

The formation of the Joint Ventures and the completion of the sale of the Properties to the Joint Ventures are subject to the Keystone Parties’ completion of due diligence by March 31, 2014, which may be extended for two 30 day periods, and normal and customary closing conditions.  The consummation of the transactions between the Company and the Keystone Parties also is subject to the waiver or non-exercise of certain rights of first offer with respect to eleven of the Properties by certain affiliates of the Company and other third parties who are limited partners of the Company.
