Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On January 25, 2013, Clarion Partners Property Trust Inc. (the “Company”) issued and sold all 125 shares of its newly designated 12.5% Series A Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, or $125,000 in the aggregate, to 125 accredited investors who were not affiliated with the Company (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). Customary advisory, set-up and administrative fees and commissions, including approximately $6,250 of brokerage or placement fees, were paid in connection with the Preferred Stock Offering. The Preferred Stock Offering was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from such registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferential cash distributions per share at a rate of 12.5% per annum of the total of $1,000, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon. The Company may not declare any distributions on any junior equity securities (including common stock) or redeem any such securities unless the cumulative dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and either (i) such distributions have been paid or (ii) sufficient funds for the payment thereof have been set aside. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time for a redemption price per share (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the sum of (i) $1,000, (ii) all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon and (iii) if the date of the redemption is on or before December 31, 2014, a redemption premium of $100. In addition, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the Redemption Price per share. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except with respect to certain specific matters that adversely affect their rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers.
