Item 8.01 Other Events
Changes to our Share Redemption Program and Distribution Reinvestment Plan
In February 2009 the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) issued a regulatory notice stating that securities broker-dealers may no longer use the offering price, or “par value,” of shares on a customer account statement more than 18 months following the conclusion of an offering, unless an appraisal of the program’s assets and operations yields the same value. In an effort to assist participating broker-dealers in complying with this account statement disclosure requirement, we have agreed to provide our broker-dealers with an estimated value per share. We currently intend to provide the estimated value per share on or about March 7-14, 2011. The estimated value per share must be developed from data that is no more than 18 months old.
In response to our intent to provide this estimated value per share, on February 2, 2011, our board of directors adopted certain changes to our share redemption program (the “Share Redemption Program”) and our distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP Plan”). The purpose of the changes to the Share Redemption Program and the DRIP Plan are to clarify terms of each of the plans and to make changes in light of the information mandated by the FINRA regulatory notice. These changes are discussed in more detail in a letter and notice sent to our stockholders on February 4, 2011. A copy of this letter, the revised Share Redemption Program and the revised DRIP Plan are filed herein as exhibits and are also available on our web site atwww.totalrealtytrust.com.
