Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 4, 2015, Washington Prime Group, L.P. (“WPGLP” or "Borrower"), a majority owned subsidiary of WP Glimcher Inc. (the “Company” or "WPG"), entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) for an unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") of $500 million with a syndicate of banks, as lenders, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or its affiliates, PNC Bank, National Association, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers. On June 4, 2015, the Borrower used the proceeds to repay in full the remaining outstanding amount under the 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2015 (the “Bridge Loan”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and for other general corporate purposes.
The Term Loan matures on March 2, 2020, at which time the Borrower must repay the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement. Interest accrued under the Term Loan Agreement is calculated and payable on a monthly basis and shall be payable in arrears and, if not paid in full, on the maturity date. Voluntary prepayments under the Term Loan Agreement are permitted at any time without premium or penalty, other than the reimbursement of customary breakage payments relating to LIBOR-based borrowings, subject to a minimum dollar requirement and certain notice requirements.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR screen rate or the base rate as defined in the Term Loan Agreement plus, in each case, a specified margin based initially upon the Borrower’s debt rating in effect from time to time. The applicable margin with respect to the term loan will, at the Borrower's election, thereafter be governed by either a leverage based or ratings based pricing grid.
The obligations under the Term Loan Agreement will be unsecured obligations of the Borrower and will not be guaranteed by the Company or any other entity. The Term Loan Agreement has customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, reporting obligations and limitations on the Company or the Borrower's ability, as applicable, to enter into transactions relating to mergers or consolidations, sales of assets, certain distributions and investments, and incurrence of certain indebtedness and liens. In addition, the Borrower is required to comply with various financial maintenance covenants, including maximum total leverage ratio, maximum unsecured leverage ratio, maximum secured leverage ratio, minimum combined equity value, minimum combined debt service coverage ratio and minimum unsecured interest expense ratio, each as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement.
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, covenant defaults, bankruptcy defaults, judgment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, changes in control, the failure of the Company to remain a publicly listed company and to maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and the failure of the Borrower, or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or Simon Property Group, L.P., or its subsidiaries or affiliates, to provide, collectively, property management and leasing services for at least 33% of the total number of shopping centers in which the Borrower will have an ownership interest.
Certain of the lenders and agents and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking, commercial banking and other services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Term Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On June 1, 2015, the Company, through certain of its affiliates, completed the previously announced sale to O’Connor Mall Partners, L.P. (“O’Connor”), an affiliate of O’Connor Capital Partners, of a 49% partnership interest in three newly formed limited partnerships (the “JVs”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.684 billion, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company applied all net sale proceeds from the transaction equal to approximately $430 million to repay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Bridge Loan.
The Company owns the remaining 51% partnership interest in each of the JVs. The JVs collectively own the following properties and certain related out-parcels: The Mall at Johnson City located in Johnson City, Tennessee; Pearlridge Center located in Aiea, Hawaii; Polaris Fashion Place located in Columbus, Ohio; Scottsdale Quarter located in Scottsdale, Arizona and Town Center Plaza (which consists of Town Center Plaza and the adjacent Town Center Crossing), located in Leawood, Kansas. The Company will continue to lease and manage the properties.
In connection with the sale of the interest in the JVs to O’Connor, the Company has reduced its pro rata share of debt by approximately $800 million by (i) repaying a portion of the Bridge Loan with approximately $430 million of net sale proceeds from the JV transaction; and (ii) allocating to O’Connor its 49% interest in existing joint venture property-level debt.
Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, the Company and O’Connor entered into a limited partnership agreement (“LPA”) with respect to each JV. The Company will generally manage and conduct the day-to-day operations of the JVs, except that certain major decisions will require the consent of both the Company and O’Connor. The LPA for each JV contains certain restrictions on each party’s ability to transfer its interest in the JV, including an initial lock-up period of five years, after which period, subject to certain other restrictions on transfer and certain other limitations, either party has certain rights to transfer its interest in the JV. The LPA also provides that each of the Company and O’Connor will not own, develop or manage competing malls within a certain specified radius of each of the properties owned by the JV, subject to certain exceptions.

99.1 Press Release of WPG, dated June 1, 2015.
99.2 Press Release of WPG, dated June 4, 2015.
Introduction
On January 15, 2015, the Company acquired Glimcher Realty Trust ("Glimcher") pursuant to a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") among Glimcher Realty Trust ("Glimcher"), Glimcher Properties Limited Partnership ("GPLP"), Washington Prime Group Inc. ("WPG"), Washington Prime Group, L.P. ("WPGLP"), WPG Subsidiary Holdings I, LLC ("Merger Sub I") and WPG Subsidiary Holdings II Inc. ("Merger Sub II"), in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $4.2 billion, including the assumption of debt (the "Merger"). In the Merger, Glimcher merged with and into Merger Sub I, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of WPGLP.
In the Merger, Glimcher common shareholders received, for each outstanding Glimcher common share (other than certain common shares as set forth in the Merger Agreement), $14.02 consisting of: (x) $10.40 in cash and (y) 0.1989 of a WPG common share valued at $3.62 per Glimcher common share, based on the closing price of WPG common shares on the Merger closing date. Approximately 29.9 million shares of WPG common stock were issued to Glimcher shareholders in connection with the Merger. Of these shares issued, approximately 1.1 million related to restricted units that were issued to certain Glimcher executives.
Additionally, (i) each outstanding Glimcher 8.125% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share of Beneficial Interest (the "Glimcher Series G Preferred Shares") was converted into one share of 8.125% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of WPG (the "WPG Series G Preferred Shares"), (ii) each outstanding Glimcher 7.5% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share of Beneficial Interest (the "Glimcher Series H Preferred Shares") was converted into one share of 7.5% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of WPG (the "WPG Series H Preferred Shares") and (iii) each outstanding Glimcher 6.875% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share of Beneficial Interest (the "Glimcher Series I Preferred Shares") was converted into one share of 6.875% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of WPG (the "WPG Series I Preferred Shares"). In all cases, the WPG Series G Preferred Shares, the WPG Series H Preferred Shares, and the WPG Series I Preferred Shares have the preferences, rights and privileges substantially identical to their corresponding GRT preferred shares.
The Merger Agreement also provided for the merger of Merger Sub II, a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub I, with and into GPLP. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) each GPLP operating partnership unit issued and outstanding (other than certain GPLP units as set forth in the Merger Agreement and the GPLP Series I-1 preferred limited partnership units as described below) converted into the right to receive 0.7431 of a newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable WPGLP unit and (ii) each GPLP Series I-1 preferred limited partnership unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to such effective time converted into one preferred unit of WPGLP having the preferences, rights and privileges substantially identical to the preference, rights and privileges of the Glimcher Series I-1 preferred limited partnership unit prior to such Merger. Approximately 1.6 million units of WPGLP were issued to GPLP unit holders in connection with the Merger.
Concurrent with the closing of the Merger, GPLP sold (i) the equity interests in the owner of Jersey Gardens, a regional mall located in Elizabeth, New Jersey ("Jersey Gardens") and (ii) the equity interests in the owner of University Park Village, an open-air center located in Fort Worth, Texas ("University Park") to Simon Property Group, L.P. for $1.09 billion, including the assumption of $405.0 million of associated mortgage debt (the "Property Sale").
On September 16, 2014, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, WPG entered into a debt commitment letter, which was amended and restated on September 23, 2014 pursuant to which parties agreed to provide a $1.25 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility (the "Bridge Loan"). In connection with the Merger, WPG borrowed approximately $1.2 billion under the Bridge Loan.
On March 24, 2015, WPGLP closed on the private placement of $250 million of 3.850% senior unsecured notes (the "Bonds Payable") at a 0.028% discount due April 1, 2020. WPGLP received net proceeds from the offering of $248.4 million, which it used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Bridge Loan. The Bonds Payable contain certain customary covenants and events of default which, if any such event of default occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the then-outstanding Bonds Payable to be declared immediately due and payable (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods).
On April 15, 2015, the Company redeemed all of the 4,700,000 issued and outstanding WPG Series G Preferred Shares using cash on hand.
On June 1, 2015, the Company through certain of its affiliates sold through a purchase, sale and escrow agreement (the “JV Purchase Agreement”) with O'Connor Mall Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("OC"), a 49% partnership interest in three newly formed limited partnerships (collectively the “JV”) to OC, with the remaining 51% partnership interest held by WPG. The JV owns all of the membership interests in certain newly formed limited liability companies, which intend to qualify as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) (the “WPG-OC REITs”), which own the following properties (the “Properties” or each a “Property”) and certain related out-parcels, which are valued at approximately $1.625 billion: The Mall at Johnson City located in Johnson City, Tennessee; Pearlridge Center located in Aiea, Hawaii; Polaris Fashion Place® located in Columbus, Ohio; Scottsdale Quarter® located in Scottsdale, Arizona and Town Center Plaza (which consists of Town Center Plaza and the adjacent Town Center Crossing) located in Leawood, Kansas. Additionally, the Company was reimbursed $58.6 million for costs relating to development activity at Scottsdale Quarter. Prior to the completion of the JV transaction, each of the Properties were wholly owned by the Company, other than the parcels held by Crescent SDQ III Venture, LLC, in which the Company held a 25% interest. The Company received net cash proceeds from the transaction of approximately $432 million, which it used to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance on the Bridge Loan.
On June 4, 2015, the Company borrowed $500 million under a new term loan (the “Term Loan”), pursuant to a commitment received from bank lenders. The Term Loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.15% and will mature in March 2020. The Company used the proceeds to repay all of the outstanding balance on the Bridge Loan and for general corporate purposes.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been adjusted, where applicable, to give effect to the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares, and have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the following:
• | the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements; |
• | The historical unaudited financial statements of WPG as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 7, 2015. |
• | the historical audited consolidated and combined financial statements of WPG as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in WPG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015; and |
• | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Glimcher as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, which were filed as an exhibit to WPG's 8-K/A that was filed on February 27, 2015. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 give effect to the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares as if they occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 gives effect to the JV Transaction, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares as if they occurred on March 31, 2015. The historical consolidated financial statements of Glimcher have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform to WPG's financial statement presentation.
In addition to adjustments to give effect to the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Preferred Shares, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments to give effect to:
• | the Property Sale as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2014 for purposes of the pro forma statements of operations; |
• | Glimcher's 2014 acquisition of certain retail centers and development land located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Glimcher's consolidated statements of operations as if this transaction occurred on January 1, 2014 (the "OKC Transaction"); and |
• | WPG's 2014 acquisition of controlling interests in nine shopping centers on WPG's consolidated and combined statements of operations as if these transactions occurred on January 1, 2014. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, with WPG considered the acquirer of Glimcher. The purchase price is allocated to the underlying Glimcher tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and acquired intangibles based on preliminary estimates of their respective fair values, which includes the JV Properties. The JV transaction has been accounted for in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Major decisions with respect to the JV require the mutual consent of both JV partners.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The historical consolidated and combined financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, the WPG Series G Preferred Share redemption, the Property Sale, the OKC Transaction, and WPG's 2014 acquisition of controlling interests in nine shopping centers, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the combined results of WP Glimcher. This information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the combined operating results or financial position that would have occurred if such transactions had occurred on the dates and in accordance with the assumptions described herein, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of WPG under one set of assumptions, do not reflect opportunities to earn additional revenue, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares, and do not attempt to predict or suggest future results. By way of example, the projected operating synergies of the Merger are approximately $12 - $16 million in combined annual cost savings (these synergies have not been reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations). The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements also exclude the effects of costs associated with any restructuring or integration activities or asset dispositions which may occur (other than the Property Sale or the JV transaction), as they are currently not known, and to the extent they occur, are expected to be non-recurring and were not incurred at the closing date of the Merger. However, such costs could affect WP Glimcher following the Merger in the period the costs are incurred or recorded. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of WP Glimcher following the Merger, the JV transaction, the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
1. Overview
The Merger has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles applied in the United States to account for the Merger with WPG as the acquiring entity. Accordingly, the total purchase price is allocated to the Glimcher tangible acquired assets and liabilities assumed, and identifiable intangible assets of Glimcher based on preliminary estimates of their respective fair values, as described further below.
In addition to adjustments to give effect to the Merger, the JV transaction (which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting), the issuance of the Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments to give effect to, where applicable:
• | the Property Sale as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2014 for purposes of the pro forma statements of operations; |
• | Glimcher's 2014 acquisition of a shopping center located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Glimcher's consolidated statements of operations as if this transaction occurred on January 1, 2014; and |
• | WPG's 2014 acquisition of controlling interests in nine shopping centers on WPG's consolidated and combined statements of operations as if these transactions occurred on January 1, 2014. |
To the extent identified, certain reclassifications have been reflected in the pro forma adjustments to conform Glimcher's financial statement presentation to that of WPG, as described in Note 2.
The pro forma adjustments represent WPG management's estimates based on information available and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the impact of possible revenue or earnings enhancements, cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies, or future asset dispositions. Also, the pro forma financial statements do not contemplate possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities, or transaction or other costs following the Merger that are not expected to have a continuing impact.
The pro forma statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 combine the historical consolidated and combined statements of operations of WPG (after giving effect to WPG's 2014 property acquisitions) and Glimcher (after giving effect to a 2014 acquisition, as well as dispositions that were previously recognized within discontinued operations in the historical financial statements of Glimcher), giving effect to the Merger, the Property Sale, the JV transaction, the issuance of Bonds Payable, the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, and the redemption of the WPG Series G Preferred Shares, as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The March 31, 2015 pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the WPG Series G Preferred Share redemption, the JV transaction, and the receipt of funds from the Term Loan, as if they had occurred on that date.
