Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On July 29, 2010, we announced that, as part of LNR Property Corporation’s (“LNR”) recapitalization, we acquired a 26.2% equity interest in LNR for a new investment of $116 million in cash and conversion into equity of our $15 million mezzanine loan (current carrying amount) made to LNR’s parent. The recapitalization involved an infusion of a total of $417 million in new cash equity and the reduction of LNR’s total debt to $425 million from $1.3 billion.
We will account for our equity interest in LNR under the equity method of accounting from the date of acquisition. During the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, LNR reported net losses of $717.5 million and $415 million, respectively. These net losses included impairment and other losses aggregating $726.4 million and $391.6 million, respectively.
On July 30, 2010, we issued a press release announcing our equity investment in LNR. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
