Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company") has consummated, during the
period November 20, 1997 through February 20, 1998, acquisition of 11
self-storage facilities through Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership, a
limited partnership controlled by the Company. The 11 facilities totaling
approximately 758 thousand square feet are located in 6 states and were
purchased for approximately $36 million.
All of the facilities were acquired from unaffiliated third parties.
The acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations, borrowings under
the Company's line of credit and one facility was acquired through the issuance
of Common Stock of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. Each of the facilities acquired
was used by the seller as a self storage facility prior to its acquisition by
the Company, and the Company intends to continue the use of all facilities for
that purpose. The Company's management determined the contract price through
arms-length negotiations, after taking into consideration such factors as: the
age and condition of the facility, the projected amounts of maintenance costs;
anticipated capital improvements; the facility's current revenues; comparable
facilities competing in the applicable market; market rental rates for
comparable facilities; the occupancy rate of the facility; and the estimated
cost of taxes, utilities, personnel and other anticipated expenses.
The following provides certain additional information concerning the 11
facilities acquired:
