Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition Assets.

On January 29, 2016, Forest City Realty Trust, Inc. through their investment in Nets Sports and Entertainment, LLC ("NS&E") sold its 55% ownership interest in the Barclays Center (“Arena”) and 20% ownership interest in the Brooklyn Nets (“Nets”), collectively (the "Disposal Group"), to Onexim Sports and Entertainment Holdings USA, Inc. ("Onexim"). On December 22, 2015, NS&E entered into an LLC Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Onexim where NS&E agreed to sell their 55% ownership interest in the Arena and their 20% ownership interest in the Nets. The sales proceeds before closing costs for the Arena was $162,600,000 payable in cash of $70,000,000 and a note receivable of $92,600,000 ("Arena Note"). The sales proceeds before closing costs for the Nets was $125,100,000 payable entirely in the form of a note receivable ("Nets Note"). The Arena Note bears interest at 4.50% per annum and matures on January 29, 2019. The Nets Note bears interest at 4.50% per annum and matures on January 29, 2021. Onexim held a 45% ownership interest in the Arena and an 80% ownership interest in the Nets prior to the close of this transaction and owns 100% of the Disposal Group subsequent to the closing.
