Item 5. Other Events. On July 12, 1999, The Macerich Partnership, L.P. ("Macerich Partnership") and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board ("Ontario") acquired a 100% interest in the office component of Redmond Town Center, a mixed-use development located in Redmond, WA, through an asset sale. Macerich Partnership and Ontario acquired this interest through Pacific Premier Retail Trust, a real estate investment trust owned 51% by Macerich Partnership and 49% by Ontario. Acquisition of the office component of this property was part of the second phase of a two phase acquisition of properties from various Safeco Corporation entities (collectively, the "Seller") which was previously described in the Form 8-K dated March 4, 1999 (event date February 18, 1999). The assets acquired include, among other things, real property, the buildings and improvements located thereon, certain lease interests, tangible and intangible personal property and rights related thereto. Macerich Partnership and Ontario intend to continue operating the office component of this property as currently operated and leasing the space therein to office tenants. The purchase price for this acquisition was approximately $111 million and was determined in good faith, arms length negotiations between Macerich Partnership, Ontario and the Seller. Concurrent with this second phase closing, a ten-year $76.7 million mortgage with an interest rate of 6.77% was placed on Redmond Town Center. The balance of the purchase price was paid in cash. Macerich Partnership funded its share of the cash component of the purchase price from borrowings under its line of credit. The description contained herein of the transaction described above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase and Sale Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K dated March 4, 1999 (event date February 18, 1999). - 2 -
