This excerpt taken from the DRE 8-K filed Nov 14, 2006. (16) Subsequent Events
In January 2006, we announced the acquisition of approximately 5.1 million square feet of bulk industrial properties located at the Port of Savannah for a total purchase price of approximately $194.1 million. The portfolio consists of 18 buildings and is located near one of the fastest growing ports in the country. The properties are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 7.5 years. This transaction makes us the largest industrial property owner in the Savannah area and complements our industrial holdings across the Southeast. In addition, we have the option to acquire future completed development projects on 400 acres of land in the same market.
In January 2006, we issued $184 million of 6.95% Series M Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which replaced our $75 million 8.45% Series I Preferred Stock that we redeemed in February 2006.
In January 2006, we renewed our unsecured revolving credit facility. The new facility provides borrowing capacity up to $1 billion and, subject to certain conditions, may be increased to $1.3 billion. Under the new facility, which replaces the previous unsecured line of credit agreement, the interest rate has been reduced to LIBOR plus 52.5 basis points, the borrowing capacity has been increased by $500 million and the maturity date has been extended to January 25, 2010.
In February 2006, we issued $125.0 million of 5.5% senior notes due 2016.
In February 2006, we acquired 27 suburban office and light industrial buildings, encompassing more than 2.3 million square feet from the Mark Winkler Company for $619.0 million. The 27 buildings are part of a 32 building portfolio located in three primary submarkets in Northern Virginia. We will close on the remaining five buildings in the portfolio throughout the first and second quarters of 2006. In addition to the 27 buildings we also closed on approximately 166 acres of undeveloped land located in major business parks that can support the future development of approximately 3.7 million square feet of office and industrial buildings. In connection with the acquisition, we obtained a $700 million secured term loan priced at LIBOR plus 52.5 basis points with a scheduled maturity date of September 2006. Subject to Lenders approval, the maturity date may be extended to March 2007.
