20 August 2009 - 4:29PM
PR Newswire (US)
RADNOR, Pa., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brandywine Realty
Trust (NYSE:BDN) announced today the early tender date results of
the previously announced tender offer by its operating partnership,
Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), to purchase up to an aggregate of $100,000,000
principal amount of its 5.75% Guaranteed Notes due April 1, 2012
(the "2012 Notes") and 5.625% Guaranteed Notes due December 15,
2010 (the "2010 Notes") and terminated the tender offer announced
August 6, 2009 with respect to the 2010 Notes. The Operating
Partnership received early tenders in excess of $100,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 2012 Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on August 19, 2009, the early tender date and
withdrawal deadline for the tender offer. Because the aggregate
principal amount of the 2012 Notes tendered exceeds the
$100,000,000 maximum tender cap, the 2012 Notes validly tendered at
or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 2, 2009,
the expiration date with respect to the tender offer, will, if
accepted for purchase, be purchased on a pro rata basis as
described in the Offer to Purchase. Holders of 2012 Notes tendering
after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2009, will not
be entitled to receive the early tender payment. The proration
factor for the 2012 Notes cannot be determined until the expiration
date of the tender offer. Because the 2012 Notes have a purchase
acceptance priority over the 2010 Notes in the tender offer and the
aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes tendered exceeds the
$100,000,000 maximum tender cap, the Operating Partnership has
terminated the tender offer with respect to the 2010 Notes. Any
2010 Notes previously tendered will be promptly returned to the
tendering parties, and no 2010 Notes will be accepted for purchase.
The full terms and conditions of the tender offer are set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated August 6, 2009 and the related Letter
of Transmittal. Wells Fargo Securities acted as Lead Dealer Manager
for the tender offer. Citi and Deutsche Bank Securities served as
Co-Dealer Managers for the tender offer. This press release is
neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the
2010 or 2012 Notes nor is it a solicitation for acceptance of the
tender offer. About Brandywine Realty Trust Brandywine Realty Trust
