Merger with Chambers Street

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company announced with Chambers Street a definitive agreement to merge, with the combined company having an expected enterprise value of approximately $5.7 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s shareholders will receive 3.1898 shares of Chambers Street common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. Upon closing, Chambers Street’s shareholders will own approximately 56% and the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 44% of the combined company. The merged company will be renamed Gramercy Property Trust and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GPT.” The stock-for-stock transaction is expected to be tax-free to shareholders. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

This combination brings together two complementary portfolios focused on industrial and office real estate, comprising 288 properties and approximately 52 million square feet in major markets throughout the U.S. and Europe. The combined company is expected to have larger size and scale, broader tenant diversification, increased financial flexibility, and a more efficient operating platform to drive growth.

 

Following the close of the transaction, the combined company also intends to pursue the disposition of certain suburban office properties in order to reduce the level of these holdings to approximately 25% of its total portfolio over the long term. In addition, the combined company expects to continue to be an active acquirer of single-tenant net leases and properties.

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the diluted weighted average calculation, which is the denominator in diluted earnings per share excludes potentially dilutive securities because they would have been anti-dilutive during those periods.  The denominator for diluted earnings per share, Core FFO per diluted share and AFFO per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are the same.  However, FFO per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 does not include potentially dilutive securities, while FFO per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2014, includes potentially dilutive securities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has used non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G in this press release. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure can be found on page 11 of this release.

 

Fund from operations (“FFO”): The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments, gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to non-controlling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 

Core FFO and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”): Core FFO and AFFO are presented excluding property acquisition costs, other-than-temporary impairments on retained bonds and other one-time charges. AFFO of the Company also excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of above and below market leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of lease inducement costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of free rent received at property acquisition and straight-line rent. The Company believes that Core FFO and AFFO are useful supplemental measures regarding the Company’s operating performances as they provide a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s operating results.

 

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Our calculation of FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
