Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
------------------------------------
On June 19, 1998, a majority owned subsidiary of The Macerich
Company (the "Registrant") acquired South Plains Mall in Lubbock,Texas, a
super regional mall containing approximately 1,107,000 square feet. The
seller of the asset was South Plains Mall Associates Ltd, a Texas Limited
Partnership ("Seller"). The assets acquired include, among other things, real
property, the buildings and improvements located thereon, certain lease
interests, tangible and intangible personal property and rights related
thereto.
The purchase price was approximately $115.7 million, and was
determined in good faith, arms length negotiations between Registrant and the
Seller. In negotiating the purchase price the Registrant considered, among
other factors, the mall's historical and projected cash flow, the nature and
term of existing tenancies and leases, the current operating costs, the
expansion availability, the physical condition of the property, and the terms
and conditions of available financing. No independent appraisals were
obtained by the Registrant. The purchase price was funded by assuming a
$29.4 million loan at fair market value, and $86.3 million in cash. The
Registrant intends to continue operating the mall as currently operated and
leasing the space therein to national and local retailers.
The description contained herein of the transaction described above
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Purchase Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
