Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On December 20, 2011, Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc., a Maryland corporation (which may be referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) entered into the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Behringer Harvard Opportunity Advisors I, LLC, an affiliated Texas limited liability company that serves as our advisor (the “Advisor”). The First Amendment is effective as of January 1, 2012. Under the First Amendment, the monthly asset management fee payable by us to the Advisor is reduced from one-twelfth of 0.75% of Aggregate Asset Value (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Management Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”)) to one-twelfth of 0.60% of Aggregate Asset Value.
Also on December 20, 2011, we renewed the Advisory Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, through December 31, 2012. However, either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days’ prior written notice. Other than as described above, the terms of the Advisory Agreement remain unchanged.

Item 8.01

Other Events.
|
On December 21, 2011, the Company sold a six-story office building containing approximately 157,000 rentable square feet, with a three-level attached parking garage, located on approximately 4.4 acres of land within a suburban submarket of Houston, Texas (“Regency Center”) through Behringer Harvard Regency LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP, our operating partnership, to an unaffiliated third party.
The contract sale price for Regency Center was $16.8 million, excluding transaction costs. We used $10.8 million of the sale proceeds to pay down our senior secured credit facility. The remaining proceeds from the sale, after customary selling costs and expenses, are being held in escrow by the lender as collateral for our senior secured credit facility.
