TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. On September 27, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), United Investors Income Properties, a Missouri limited partnership (the "Partnership"), entered into an agreement (as amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), with Bronson Place Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), which is affiliated with the general partner of the Partnership. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase Bronson Place Apartments, a 70-unit apartment complex located in Mountlake Terrace, Washington (the "Property"), for a gross purchase price of $3,800,000, subject to certain conditions (the "Purchase Price"). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, either party to the Purchase Agreement may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time prior to closing, acting in their sole discretion and for any reason or no reason, upon written notice to the other party. Upon further examination of the Property's market area and the Property's position within that market, the Partnership determined not to sell the Property at this time. On December 10, 2004, the Partnership delivered written notice to the Purchaser of its election to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to its terms. The following is a summary of the additional material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement. -The parties made limited representations and warranties, which were not to survive the closing. -In addition to customary closing conditions, the Partnership's obligations under the Purchase Agreement were conditioned upon the failure to receive objections to the proposed sale from limited partners owning a majority of the units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership not owned by the general partner or its affiliates. -The Partnership and the Purchaser agreed to provide to the limited partners of the Partnership contractual dissenters' appraisal rights that are based upon such rights afforded to shareholders in corporate mergers under the corporation laws of the state of Missouri. -If the Property was damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing and the cost of repair was more than $500,000, then the Purchaser would have had the option to terminate the Purchase Agreement or to proceed under the Purchase Agreement. If the damage was less than $500,000, the Purchaser would not have the option to terminate the Purchase Agreement. In either case where the Purchase Agreement is not terminated, the Purchaser would assume the responsibility for repair and would receive payment or assignment of all insurance proceeds together with any insurance deductible with respect to the insurance proceeds. -2- SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
