Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 22, 2004, we terminated, and repaid all amounts outstanding under, our $320 million term loan credit agreement (2007) that became effective as of September 21, 2004 by and among Brandywine Realty Trust, our sole general partner, us and certain of our subsidiaries, and Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent and as a lender, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as syndication agent and as a lender (a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 21, 2004). We used a portion of the proceeds of the public offering of debt securities described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K to repay the term loan credit agreement (2007). In the ordinary course of their respective business, affiliates of Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and/or investment banking transactions with us or our affiliates. J.P. Morgan Securities was a co-arranger of our revolving credit facility established in May 2004 and one of its affiliates is the administrative agent under that facility. Affiliates of Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank served as underwriters of the debt securities described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 19, 2004, we entered into an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Pricing Agreements described therein, in connection with our public offering of $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our unsecured 4.50% notes due November 1, 2009 (the “2009 Notes”) and $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our unsecured 5.40% notes due November 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes” and, together with the 2009 Notes, the “Notes”). Our sole general partner, Brandywine Realty Trust, and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of principal of and interest on the notes. We consummated the sale of the Notes on October 22, 2004.
