ITEM 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Northgate Mall Acquisition
On April 27, 2005, two wholly owned subsidiaries of Feldman Equities Operating Partnership, LP, the operating partnership subsidiary of Feldman Mall Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into (i) an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the membership interests in the owner of real property and improvements constituting the Northgate Mall (the “Mall”) in Colerain Township, a northwest suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, and (ii) an agreement to purchase a parcel of land adjacent to the Mall (the “Parcel,” and together with the Mall, the “Property”). The Property does not include land and improvements owned by three of the Mall’s anchor tenants. Concurrently with the signing of the Purchase Agreement, the Company made a $3.0 million cash deposit on the Property. The aggregate purchase price of the Property is approximately $110.0 million, consisting of the assumption of approximately $79.6 million in mortgage debt on the Property and $27.4 million in cash to be paid at closing with proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering in December 2004 and a mortgage loan on one of its other properties. The transaction is expected to close in the summer of 2005, and is subject to customary conditions, including lender consent to the Company’s assumption of the mortgage debt on the Property.
The Mall is a 1.1 million square foot super-regional mall and has an overall occupancy of approximately 93% (including anchor tenants) with a shop occupancy of approximately 78% (excluding temporary tenants and anchor tenants). The Mall has four major anchor tenants including Macy’s, Dillard’s, Sears and JC Penney.
