Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On May 24, 2010, a subsidiary of Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global”), entered into a contract to acquire Southpark Commerce Center II ("Southpark"), an industrial complex of four buildings located in Southeast Austin. The seller, KBS Southpark Commerce Center II, LLC, is not affiliated with Hines Global or its affiliates. The buildings consist of 372,125 square feet of rentable area that is 94% leased. Travis Association for the Blind, a non-profit organization, leases 100,435 square feet or approximately 27% of the buildings' rentable area, under a lease that expires in August 2011. AT&T, Inc., a broadcast and communications provider, leases 94,451 square feet or approximately 25% of the buildings' rentable area, under a lease that expires in March 2017. Zarlink Semiconductor Inc., a Canadian-based semiconductor designer and manufacturer, leases 46,949 square feet or approximately 13% of the buildings' rentable area, under a lease that expires in May 2013. The remaining space is leased to five tenants, none of which leases more than 10% of the rentable area of the complex.
 
The contract purchase price for Southpark is expected to be approximately $31.3 million, exclusive of transaction costs, financing fees and working capital reserves. Hines Global expects to fund the acquisition using proceeds from its current public offering and the assumption of an existing $18 million mortgage loan. The mortgage loan matures in December 2016 and has a fixed interest rate of 5.67%. Hines Global expects the closing of this acquisition to occur during the 3rd quarter of 2010, subject to a number of closing conditions. There is no guarantee that this acquisition will be consummated, and if Hines Global elects not to close on the acquisition of Southpark, it may forfeit its $1.0 million earnest money deposit. This description is qualified in its entirety by Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to the potential acquisition of the property described herein and funding sources for the same, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
