Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The information required by Item 1.01 related to the financing of the acquisition described below under Item 2.01 is included in Item 2.03 below and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.01.                                        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On November 23, 2010, Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Registrant,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), through a joint venture formed between Behringer Harvard Interchange, LLC, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and CT Interchange, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, (the “Interchange Joint Venture”) acquired a four-building, Class A industrial property (the “Interchange Business Center”) located in San Bernardino, California from IBS Industrial Properties, LLC, an unaffiliated third party.  The purchase price for the Interchange Business Center, excluding closing costs, was $30 million, which we funded with proceeds from a loan from an unaffiliated lender and proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering of common stock.

 

The Interchange Business Center contains an aggregate of approximately 802,000 rentable square feet and is situated on an approximate 41.1-acre parcel of land.  As of November 18, 2010, the Interchange Business Center was approximately 29% leased to two tenants:  FTDI Supply Chain Management (12%) and Genco (17%).  The aggregate annualized base rent as of November 18, 2010, calculated annualizing the current, in-place monthly base rent for the leases, was approximately $71,000.  The weighted-average remaining lease term for the tenants was approximately 3.2 years.

 

We believe that the Interchange Business Center is suitable for its intended purpose and adequately covered by insurance.  Based on its current condition, we do not believe it will be necessary to make significant renovations to the Interchange Business Center.  The Interchange Business Center is located in a submarket where there are a number of comparable properties that might compete with it.

 

Item 2.03              Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Interchange Business Center, on November 23, 2010, the Interchange Joint Venture entered a loan agreement with PCCP Capital I, LLC (the “Lender”), an unaffiliated third party, to borrow $21.5 million. The initial advance under the loan was $18.1 million. The Interchange Loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 5.0%, provided that in no event shall LIBOR be less than 2.5%.  As required by the loan agreement, the Interchange Joint Venture has entered into an interest rate protection agreement that caps LIBOR at 3.5% for the entire term of the loan.  Monthly payments are interest-only with the entire principal and any accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity.  The maturity date is December 1, 2013, which may be extended until December 1, 2014.  The loan may be prepaid in whole or in part with the payment of a fee in the amount 1.5% of the amount being prepaid.  The Interchange Loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on the assets of the Interchange Business Center, including the land, fixtures, improvements, leases, rents, and reserves.

 

Item 5.02        Departure of Director or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

Our board of directors appointed Kymberlyn Janney as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer effective as of November 22, 2010.  In connection with Ms. Janney’s appointment, Gary S. Bresky resigned as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company effective as November 22, 2010.  Mr. Bresky will remain as the Company’s Executive Vice President; however, his resignation will allow him more time to focus on his responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer of Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC,  the Company’s sponsor, and other Behringer Harvard initiatives.  In addition, as of November 22, 2010, Ms. Janney will serve as the Company’s principal accounting officer following Bryan A.

(“Opportunity REIT I”), another Behringer Harvard sponsored program.  She has served as the Senior Vice President — Financial Administration of the Company’s advisor, Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors II, LLC, and Opportunity REIT I’s advisor since July 2010.  Ms. Janney has over 25 years of experience in commercial real estate related accounting and financial activities, including over 20 years of management-level experience.  Prior to joining Behringer Harvard, from October 2009 until July 2010, Ms. Janney served as a consultant for Meridian Realty Advisors, a full service real estate management and advisory company focused on senior living and healthcare related real estate investment opportunities.  From February 2007 to September 2009, Ms. Janney was
