Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 3, 2012, Clarion Partners Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among the Company, ING Investments Distributor, LLC, as the dealer manager for the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (the “Offering”), and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) for the Offering. Prior to the execution of the Amendment, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent was required to hold all proceeds from subscriptions for shares of the Company’s common stock in the Offering until the earlier of (1) November 12, 2011 (the “Maximum Extension Date”), or (2) the date the Company receives purchase orders for at least $10,000,000 (excluding purchase orders received from Pennsylvania and Tennessee investors), and the Company’s board of directors determines that it is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders to cause the proceeds to be released to the Company so that it may commence its operations. The Amendment was entered into in order to extend the Maximum Extension Date to November 12, 2012.
