EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-K/A amends Items 1.01 and 2.03 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2006.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 30, 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement with HSH Nordbank AG, New York Branch, for a temporary credit facility that we will use during the offering period to facilitate our acquisitions of properties in anticipation of the receipt of offering proceeds. The Credit Agreement permits us to borrow up to $50,000,000 secured by real property at a borrowing rate based on LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.35% and requires payment of a usage premium of up to 0.15% and an annual administrative fee. We may use the entire credit facility to acquire real estate investments and we may use up to 10% of the credit facility for working capital. We are entitled to prepay the obligations at any time without penalty. The principal balance is due on June 30, 2008. The obligations under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated in the event of a default as defined in the Credit Agreement. In connection with documentation and closing the Credit Agreement, we paid and expect to pay fees and expenses totaling approximately $900,000.
Consistent with our borrowing policies, during our offering, we will borrow periodically to acquire properties and for working capital. We will determine whether to use the proceeds of the offering to repay amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement depending on a number of factors including the investments which are available to us for purchase at the time and the cost of the credit facility. Following the closing of our offering, we will endeavor to repay all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement which are secured by our properties and which have not previously been paid. To the extent sufficient proceeds from our offering are unavailable to repay the indebtedness secured by properties within a reasonable time following the closing of our offering as determined by our board of directors, we may sell properties or raise equity capital to repay the secured debt so that we will own our properties all-cash, with no permanent acquisition financing.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information reported under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference under this Item 2.03.
