UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, DC 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 OR 15(b) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported) October 13, 1998 (April 30, 1998) 001-12910 (Commission File Number) STORAGE USA, INC. (Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Tennessee 62-1251239 State or other jurisdiction of (I.R.S. Employer incorporation or organization Identification Number) 165 Madison Avenue, Suite 1300, Memphis, TN 38103 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code (901) 252-2000 ITEM 2: ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") consummated during the period April 30, 1998 through September 25, 1998, the acquisition of 35 self-storage facilities (the "Acquired Facilities") through SUSA Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"), a limited partnership in which the Company is the sole general partner and owns approximately a 91% interest as of the date of this report. The Acquired Facilities contain approximately 2,347,000 square feet, are located in 14 states and were purchased for approximately $180,123,000 in aggregate consideration. The acquisition of the Acquired Facilities was funded by cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First National Bank of Chicago and First Tennessee, the issuance of $200 million senior unsecured notes, units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership ("Units"), the assumption of mortgages and through the use of capital leases. Each of the Acquired Facilities was used by the seller as a self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company intends to continue such use of all the Acquired Facilities. The Company's management determined the contract price of each facility through arms-length negotiations, after taking into consideration such factors as: the age and condition of the facility; the projected amount of maintenance costs; anticipated capital improvements; the facility's current revenues; comparable facilities competing in the applicable market; market rental rates for comparable facilities; the occupancy rate of the facility; and the estimated amount of taxes, utility costs, personnel costs, and other anticipated expenses associated with the facility. Other than changes in these factors, the Company, after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material factors relating to the properties that would cause the historical financial information provided in Item 7 not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results for the applicable facilities. The following provides certain additional information concerning the Acquired Facilities: DATE OF LOCATION SELLER ACQUISITION - -------- ------ ----------- West Palm Beach, FL CMV Partners 4/30/98 Columbus, OH Grandview Storage Associates 5/4/98 Spring, TX CB Commercial 5/6/98 Tempe, AZ Mini Pockets, L.L.C. 5/28/98 West New York, NJ Hudson Mini Storage, Inc. 6/3/98 Las Vegas, NV Charleston/Jones Mini Storage 6/4/98 Pineville, NC Superior Storage, L.L.C. 6/26/98 Abington, MA Extraspace of Abington, L.C. 6/29/98 Henderson, NV Whitney Mesa Minis L.L.C. 6/29/98 Kendall, FL Budget Mini Storage, Inc. 6/30/98 Albuquerque, NM Tony O.
