Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 15, 2011, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc., (the "Company"), announced closing on its admission as a member into three existing entities that results in it acquiring substantially all of the economic interests from Cordish AC-1 Associates, LLC, Cordish AC-2 Associates, LLC and OCF Holdings LLC in Phase I & II of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk (Atlantic City, New Jersey) and Ocean City Factory Outlets (Ocean City, Maryland). The Company is also under contract to purchase substantially all of the economic interests in Phase III of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk, which it currently expects to close by the end of 2011 (collectively with Phase I & II of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk and Ocean City Factory Outlets, the "Properties").
We currently estimate that the combined acquisition price of the Properties will be approximately $199.3 million, which consists of approximately $125.8 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $73.5 million of indebtedness, the cash portion of which is subject to adjustment with respect to Phase III of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk depending on the leased status of that property.
The cash purchase price for Phase I and II of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk and Ocean City Outlets was funded by amounts available under our unsecured lines of credit. There can be no assurance that we will ultimately close on Phase III of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. These statements may include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimate of the combined purchase price and the timing of the closing on Phase III of Atlantic City Outlets The Walk, as well as other statements regarding management's beliefs, expectations, plans, estimates, intentions, and similar statements concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected due to various factors including, but not limited to, the risks associated with general economic and local real estate conditions, the company's ability to meet its obligations on existing indebtedness or refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, the availability and cost of capital, the company's ability to lease its properties, the company's inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise, and competition. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affect our operating results, interested parties should review the Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
