Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 16, 2015, certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) completed the previously-announced underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 17,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Brixmor Property Group Inc. (the “Company”). As a result of the Offering, Blackstone has ceased to own a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company. Accordingly, in order to ensure that Blackstone employees no longer constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors, Nadeem Meghji has informed the Company that, effective upon the consummation of the Offering, he has resigned from the Company’s board of directors.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The information set forth under Item 5.02 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
In connection with the Offering, Blackstone and the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company, BPG Subsidiary Inc., Brixmor Operating Partnership LP, Blackstone, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Underwriting Agreement, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as underwriters, agreed to purchase the Shares at a price of $26.00 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by Blackstone.
The above description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be a complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
