On January 24, 2013, First Potomac Realty Trust (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing an update of its strategic and capital plan. In connection with this plan, the Company announced, among other things, that it is exploring the potential sale of its 24 industrial properties, consisting of approximately 4.3 million square feet. The Company can provide no assurances regarding the timing or pricing of the sale of these properties, or that such sales will occur at all. In particular, the Company may not receive offers for such properties at the price or on the terms that it deems acceptable, and any such acceptable offers could involve either the entire industrial portfolio or only a portion thereof. Moreover, if the Company does receive an offer that it considers acceptable, the completion of a definitive transaction would require the successful negotiation of a purchase and sale agreement and the approval of the Company’s Board of Trustees.
A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instructions B.2 and B.6 of Form 8-K, the information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto), shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Company under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
