Item 5. Other Events.
On September 25, 2000, the Registrant announced that it had entered into a
definitive Master Contribution Agreement (the "Agreement") with an affiliate of
The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. ("Jacobs"), pursuant to which the Registrant
will acquire a portfolio of 21 regional malls and two associated centers for a
purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion. The purchase price includes
approximately $106 million in cash, the assumption of approximately $733.8
million in primarily fixed rate non-recourse debt at an average interest rate of
8.25% and the issuance of 11.932 million SCUs (special common units) of the
Registrant's operating partnership. Closing of the transaction, which is subject
to CBL stockholder approval and the obtaining of certain Jacobs partner and
lender consents, is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2001.
In addition, under the Agreement, the Registrant agreed to seek stockholder
approval of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to modify the
ownership limits with respect to ownership of CBL shares by the Lebovitz and
Jacobs families. This stockholder approval, however, is not a condition of
closing.
A copy of the Registrant's press release announcing the transaction on
September 25, 2000 and a transcript of the Registrant's conference call relating
to the transaction held on September 26, 2000 are filed herewith as Exhibits
99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
