RECORD DATE SET FOR CONTINGENT DISTRIBUTIONS
BOSTON, March 20, 2000 - Beacon Capital Partners, Inc. announced today that it
has set March 22, 2000 as the record date for a distribution to be made to its
unitholders and stockholders of record as of such date. Written materials
describing the distributions will be sent out during April 2000 to unitholders
and stockholders.
The distribution by Beacon will be of interests in a Voting Trust of which an
affiliate of Beacon will serve as trustee. Initially, the assets of the Voting
Trust will consist of all of the shares of preferred stock of CO Space, Inc.
("CO Space") held by Beacon. Beacon purchased these shares in 1999 for an amount
of approximately $8 million. Beacon Capital Partners currently anticipates
making such distributions, valued at approximately $.336 per share and unit, on
March 24, 2000.
Certain matters discussed in this announcement may constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Federal securities laws. Although Beacon
Capital Partners, Inc. believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company
can give no assurances that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include the timing of the actual distribution of the CO Space shares, the
ability of unitholders and stockholders of Beacon Capital Partners to
participate in the proposed distribution of interests, general economic
conditions, the financial condition of the Company and other risks detailed from
time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Beacon Capital Partners, Inc., founded in January 1998, is structured as a real
estate investment trust (REIT). The Company is headquartered in Boston and has a
regional office in Los Angeles.
