Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 3, 2009, Brandywine Realty Trust, the sole general partner of Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), announced that the Operating Partnership has completed the purchase of $100,005,000 of its 5.75% Guaranteed Notes due April 1, 2012 (the “Notes”) which were validly tendered pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer for the Notes (the “Tender Offer”). The Notes accepted for purchase will be cancelled and represent 34.7% of the $287,830,000 principal amount of the Notes outstanding prior to the Tender Offer and effectively 100% of the stipulated $100,000,000 maximum tender cap (the “Maximum Tender Offer”). The Tender Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 2, 2009. Payment for Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer was made on Thursday, September 3, 2009 (the “Payment Date”). The amount of Notes accepted for purchase from each tendering note holder was pro rated at 72.2% due to the receipt of valid tenders in excess of the Maximum Tender Offer.
The aggregate consideration paid by the Operating Partnership for the Notes accepted for payment including accrued and unpaid interest was $100,432,739.19 which was funded under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and from available cash on hand. Following the completion of the Tender Offer, $187,825,000 of the Notes remain outstanding.
The Tender Offer was made pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s Offer to Purchase dated August 6, 2009 and the related Letter of Transmittal.
