ITEM 5 OTHER EVENTS.
On December 14, 2000, pursuant to a Terms Agreement dated December 14,
2000 and attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this report, AMB Property, L.P., in which
we are the sole general partner, priced $150 million aggregate principal amount
of senior unsecured notes under the medium-term note program that it commenced
on August 15, 2000. The notes, attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 to this
report, which mature on December 15, 2005 and bear interest at a rate of 7.20%
per annum, were sold to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc., as principal, with a settlement date of December 19, 2000. We have
guaranteed the $150 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes.
After deducting Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's and J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc.'s .600% commission on the trade and a .143% discount on the price to the
public, AMB Property, L.P. received net proceeds of $148,885,500. In addition,
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. agreed to reimburse
AMB Property, L.P. for certain expenses totaling $150,000. AMB Property, L.P.
intends to use these net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may
include the partial repayment of indebtedness, including amounts outstanding
under its unsecured credit facility, and the acquisition or development of
additional properties.
