Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company") consummated during the period
September 29, 1998 through February 17, 1999, the acquisition of 11 self-storage
facilities (the "Acquired Facilities") through Sovran Acquisition Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), a limited partnership controlled by
the Company. The 11 facilities totaling approximately 638,000 square feet are
located in 5 states and were purchased for approximately $27.3 million.
All of the facilities were acquired from unaffiliated third parties.
The acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations and borrowings
under the Company's line of credit and term note. 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.
The following provides certain additional information concerning the 11
Acquired Facilities.
