Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Facility

On December 18, 2014, Tier Operating Partnership LP (“Tier OP”), the operating partnership of TIER REIT, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Registrant,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for a senior secured credit facility with total financing of up to $475 million with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as agent and lender; JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent and lender; and the other lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”); Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as joint lead arrangers and bookrunners; and U.S. Bank National Association as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement allows Tier OP to borrow up to $250 million in a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and up to $225 million in a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facility”). Prior to the occurrence of a collateral release event (discussed below), outstanding borrowings under the Facility are limited to the lesser of (i) 65% of the aggregate as-is appraised value of the pool of properties securing the Facility and (ii) a debt service coverage amount with respect to such properties.

Subject to the satisfaction of conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, we may increase the Revolving Facility or receive additional loans under the Term Loan Facility by an additional $225 million in the aggregate. We used $59 million of the proceeds of the Revolving Facility to repay amounts outstanding under our previous credit facility and to pay costs associated with the closing of the Credit Agreement, and we currently expect to draw $125 million of the Term Loan Facility on December 31, 2014, and an additional $125 million on April 30, 2015. At closing, we had approximately $143.8 million of available borrowings under the Revolving Facility. We intend to use the Facility to repay upcoming debt maturities, to finance any future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes and have acted as a guarantor of the Facility.

The Term Loan Facility matures on December 18, 2019. The Revolving Loan Facility matures on December 18, 2018, and can be extended one additional year upon payment of an extension fee in an amount equal to 20 basis points based on the total commitment amount of the Revolving Facility and subject to certain conditions.

Loans under the Facility will bear interest at an annual rate that is equal to either, at Tier OP’s election, (1) the “base rate” (calculated as the greatest of (i) the agent’s “prime rate”; (ii) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Rate; or (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of one month plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 50 to 130 basis points for loans under the Revolving Facility and from 45 to 125 basis points for loans under the Term Loan Facility or (2) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 150 to 230 basis points for loans under the Revolving Facility and from 145 to 225 basis points for loans under the Term Loan Facility, with each applicable margin depending on the ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value. Following a collateral release event (discussed below), the applicable margin for “base rate” loans ranges from 40 to 120 basis points for loans under the Revolving Facility and from 35 to 115 basis points for loans under the Term Loan Facility, and for LIBOR loans ranges from 140 to 220 basis points for loans under the Revolving Facility and from 135 to 215 basis points for loans under the Term Loan Facility, with each applicable margin depending on the ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value. At closing, Tier OP chose the base rate with an applicable margin of 110 basis points as the interest rate for the initial borrowings of $59 million under the Revolving Facility. In October 2014, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate on the $250 million of anticipated borrowings under the Term Loan Facility to manage our exposure to future interest rate movements, which will fix the average interest rate at approximately 1.69% plus the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Facility.

Tier OP has the right to prepay any outstanding amounts of the Facility under the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium upon delivery of three business days prior written notice, provided that any partial payment is in a minimum amount of $1 million.

At closing, all amounts owed under the Facility are guaranteed by us and certain subsidiaries of Tier OP, and the Facility is secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest in a collateral pool initially consisting of the real property and improvements known as 111 Woodcrest in Cherry Hill, New Jersey; 1650 Arch Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Colorado Building in Washington, D.C.; Three Eldridge Place in Houston, Texas; Centreport Office Center in Fort Worth, Texas; 5104 Eisenhower Boulevard in Tampa, Florida; and FOUR40 in Chicago, Illinois. Upon certification by the Company that it has met certain financial covenants for two completed

2



quarters and satisfaction of certain other conditions in the Credit Agreement, the agent is authorized to release the liens on the collateral pool properties to effect the collateral release event.

Upon the occurrence of any “event of default,” as described below, all loans will bear interest payable on demand at a rate equal to 5% per annum above the base rate plus the applicable margin until the default is cured. In addition to Tier OP failing to pay amounts when due and breaching any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, events of default include, but are not limited to: (1) failure to pay when due any recourse indebtedness in excess of $10 million, non-recourse indebtedness in excess of $75 million or any derivatives contracts in excess of $10 million; (2) insolvency or bankruptcy by us, Tier OP or any of our subsidiaries to which more than 5% of our total asset value is attributable; (3) judgments against us, Tier OP or any other subsidiary in excess of $50 million; and (4) a change in control or change in management as set forth in the Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs and is not cured within any applicable grace period, the Lenders may accelerate the maturity of all outstanding loans and terminate their obligation to make any future loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, and requires payment of certain fees, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The information set forth above with respect to the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete in scope and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Amendment to Agreement of Sale

On December 19, 2014, Behringer Harvard South Riverside, LLC (“Tier Seller”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement of Sale dated as of October 23, 2014, as amended (the “Agreement”), by and among Tier Seller, Tier Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Tier Buyer”), RREEF America L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and unaffiliated third party (“RREEF Buyer”), and RREEF Sherry Lane L.P., a Texas limited partnership and unaffiliated third party (“RREEF Seller”), to set the cash portion of the purchase price for 222 South Riverside Plaza in Chicago, Illinois, as a result of adjustments for RREEF Buyer’s payment of lease obligations for the existing and new leases, completion of all alterations and repairs by RREEF Buyer, and the funding by RREEF Buyer of an escrow (“Escrow”) to complete the capital repairs necessary to satisfy the requirements of Chicago Union Station Company (“CUSCO”) contained in its estoppel letter (the “CUSCO Work”). Such adjustments for lease obligations, alterations and repairs, and the CUSCO Work in the aggregate amount of approximately $21.3 million constitute obligations that Tier Seller would have been required to pay at closing but is no longer required to pay as a result of the Amendment. We have no obligation to fund any additional amounts, and we will not be party to any contracts or agreements related to the CUSCO Work. Upon the completion of the CUSCO Work, any remaining funds in the Escrow shall be refunded to us.

The information set forth above with respect to the Amendment does not purport to be complete in scope and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On December 19, 2014, Tier Buyer assigned to 5950 Sherry Property, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, all of its rights and obligations in and to the Agreement, as amended, to the extent, but only to the extent, to which the Agreement, as amended, pertains to the 5950 Sherry Lane property in Dallas, Texas.

Item 1.02    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2014, Tier OP entered into an agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) to terminate its existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013 (the “Previous Credit Agreement”), with KeyBank and the other lenders thereto. In connection with our entry into the new Credit Agreement described under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we repaid the approximately $55 million of borrowings outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement with borrowings under the new Credit Agreement. We did not incur any prepayment penalties in connection with the repayment of borrowings outstanding under the Previous Credit Agreement or the termination of the Previous Credit Agreement.

Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 19, 2014, Tier Seller completed the sale of 222 South Riverside Plaza, a 34-story office building containing approximately 1.2 million square feet located in Chicago, Illinois (the “222 South Riverside Property”), to an unaffiliated buyer, RREEF Buyer. The contract sales price for the 222 South Riverside Property was (1) $247 million in cash, excluding transaction costs, credits, prorations and adjustments; and (2) the conveyance by RREEF Seller to Tier Buyer of a 9-story office building with approximately 197,000 square feet located at 5950 Sherry Lane in Dallas, Texas. Such adjustments to the cash portion of the purchase price include lease obligations, alterations and repairs, and the CUSCO Work in the aggregate amount of approximately $21.3 million that Tier Seller would have been required to pay at closing but is no longer required to pay as a result of RREEF Buyer’s agreement to assume such obligations pursuant to the Amendment.

In connection with the transaction, we defeased the debt secured by the 222 South Riverside Property of approximately $193.7 million and paid defeasance costs of approximately $14.3 million.

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

The information under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure.

Item 9.01    Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b)     Proforma financial information.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at September 30, 2014, illustrates the estimated effect of the transaction described in Item 2.01 above as if it had occurred on September 30, 2014.

Unaudited Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014.
a.
Reflects our historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014.
b.
Reflects the sale and the elimination of assets and liabilities of the 222 South Riverside Property, and includes the retirement of the associated property debt that had a balance of $194.3 million at September 30, 2014, and the related unamortized deferred financing fees, and the receipt of estimated net cash proceeds of $16.0 million.
c.
Reflects the addition of assets and liabilities acquired through the conveyance of 5950 Sherry Lane to the Company. We have preliminarily allocated a net purchase price of $63.0 million to the assets and liabilities listed below, and estimated useful lives of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities listed below (dollar amounts in thousands):

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their fair values.  The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the real estate property.  The assets acquired and liabilities assumed may consist of land, inclusive of associated rights, buildings, assumed debt, identified intangible assets and liabilities and asset retirement obligations.  Identified intangible assets generally consist of above-market leases, in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships.  Identified intangible liabilities generally consist of below-market leases.  Goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date and measured as the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.  Initial valuations are subject to change until our information is finalized, which is no later than twelve months from the acquisition date.
 
The fair value of the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and buildings.  Land values are derived from appraisals, and building values are calculated as replacement cost less depreciation or management’s estimates of the fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses or similar methods believed to be used by market participants.  The value of buildings is depreciated over the estimated useful life of 25 years using the straight-line method.
 
We determine the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to (a) the remaining non-cancelable lease term for above-market leases, or (b) the remaining non-cancelable lease term plus any below-market fixed rate renewal options that, based on a qualitative assessment of several factors, including the financial condition of the lessee, the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, are reasonably assured to be exercised by the lessee for below-market leases.  We record the fair value of above-market and below-market leases as intangible assets

10



or intangible liabilities, respectively, and amortize them as an adjustment to rental income over the determined lease term. 
The total value of identified real estate intangible assets acquired is further allocated to in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, in-place leasing commissions and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant.  The aggregate value for tenant improvements and leasing commissions is based on estimates of these costs incurred at inception of the acquired leases, amortized through the date of acquisition.  The aggregate value of in-place leases acquired and tenant relationships is determined by applying a fair value model.  The estimates of fair value of in-place leases include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods for the respective spaces considering current market conditions.  In estimating the carrying costs that would have otherwise been incurred had the leases not been in place, we include such items as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses as well as lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up period based on current market conditions.  The estimates of the fair value of tenant relationships also include costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal fees and tenant improvements as well as an estimate of the likelihood of renewal as determined by management on a tenant-by-tenant basis. We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases.  The tenant relationship values are amortized to expense over the initial term and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets or liabilities exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense.

Property management fees were adjusted to reflect the contractual management fee with HPT Management Services, LLC for a fee of 3% of gross revenue, as defined by the property management agreement.
