Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 15, 2006, Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Duke”), and Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the “Partnership”) of which Duke is the sole general partner, entered into a Terms Agreement (including the related Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2006, attached as Annex A thereto and made a part thereof, the “Terms Agreement”) with the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to purchase from Duke an aggregate of 4,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/10 of a 7.25% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share (par value $0.01 per share) (collectively, the “Series N Preferred Shares”). The Series N Preferred Shares were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Duke’s and the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-120492) (as may be amended, the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Pursuant to General Instruction F to the Commission’s Form 8-K, a copy of the Terms Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), and the information in the Terms Agreement is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
The Terms Agreement listed below and filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Report also is being filed pursuant to Item 601 of the Commission’s Regulation S-K in lieu of filing the otherwise required exhibits to the Registration Statement. This Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, and, as such, the Partnership is filing the Terms Agreement to cause it to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement as an exhibit thereto. By filing this Report, and the exhibit hereto, however, neither Duke nor the Partnership believes that any of the information set forth herein or in the exhibit hereto represent, either individually or in the aggregate, a “fundamental change” (as such term is used in Item 512(a)(1)(ii) of the Commission’s Regulation S-K) in the information set forth in, and incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement.
