Acquisition or Disposition of Assets Sovran Self Storage, Inc., (the "Company") has consummated the acquisition of 20 self-storage facilities through Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership, L.P. ("OP"), a limited partnership controlled by the Company. The 20 facilities totaling approximately 988,000 square feet are located in 8 states and were purchased for approximately $37 million. All of the facilities were acquired with cash from unaffiliated third parties. The acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company's lines of credit. Each of the facilities acquired was used by the seller as a self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company intends to continue the use of all facilities for that purpose. The Company's management determined the contract price through arms-length negotiations, after taking into consideration such factors as: the age and condition of the facility; the projected amounts 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.
