AEGIS REALTY, INC. ARRANGES A $40 MILLION LINE OF CREDIT
WITH BANKBOSTON, N.A.
New York, New York November 17, 1997 -- Aegis Realty, Inc. ("Aegis"), a
publicly traded diversified real estate investment trust, (AMEX:AER) has been
approved for a $40 million senior revolving credit facility from BankBoston N.A.
The facility's interest rate is expected to float 0.5% under BankBoston's base
rate but also may be fixed in 30-, 60-, 90- and 180-day periods at 1.625% over
the indicated Euro-contract rate. Leverage will not exceed 50% of Aegis' Total
Market Value as of the date incurred.
The credit facility will be used to finance acquisitions of retail and
multifamily properties, with a strong focus on neighborhood shopping centers.
Aegis' current diversified portfolio includes direct or indirect
interests in 14 neighborhood shopping centers, two garden apartment complexes
and three participating Federal Housing Administration (FHA) co-insured mortgage
loans. The portfolio has a net asset value of approximately $121,000,000.
"With the additional capital from the BankBoston facility, Aegis intends
to aggressively grow its portfolio through the acquisition of existing
properties," said J. Michael Fried, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief
Executive Officer of Aegis. "In the future, Aegis intends to increase the size
of the BankBoston credit facility to keep pace with the company's aggressive
acquisition program."
"This facility from BankBoston will provide us with the resources
necessary to implement our business plan to actively acquire retail and
multifamily properties," said Stuart J. Boesky, President and Chief Operating
Officer of Aegis. "Aegis will now be in a position to grow substantially over
the next year. With the facility in place, we plan on targeting properties that
will give us a yield that exceeds our cost of funds, which in turn will augment
Aegis' earnings."
Aegis and BankBoston intend to close the Facility in December although
no assurance can be given regarding the exact timing of such events.
