On August 14, 2009, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Company”), the operating partnership of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “General Partner”), completed the sale of $250 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).  The Notes were priced on August 5, 2009, mature on August 15, 2019 and bear interest at 7.750%, with interest payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year outstanding, beginning on February 15, 2010.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $245.6 million from the sale of the Notes which are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the purchasing or retiring of some of the Company’s outstanding debt securities.  The Company may redeem the Notes at any time upon payment of a make-whole amount.

 

The Notes are being issued under an indenture dated as of March 16, 1999 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Company, as issuer, the General Partner, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by supplemental indenture no. 14 dated as of August 14, 2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) by and between the Company and Trustee.  The material terms of the Indenture, as amended by the Supplemental Indenture, provide for the issuance of the Notes on the terms set form in the preceding paragraph and include certain representations, warranties and covenants, conditions to closing and other obligations of the Company, the General Partner and the Trustee that are customary in an underwritten public offering, including those terms and conditions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
