Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 1, 2013, SL Green Realty Corp. (the “Company”) completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 2,600,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The shares were sold to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), at a price of $95.94 per share.  In connection with the Offering, the Company has granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 390,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company estimates that net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $248.9 million ($286.4 million if the Underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full), after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to contribute the net proceeds from the offering to SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for additional units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, which have substantially identical economic terms as the Common Stock. The Company expects the Operating Partnership to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include new investments and repayment of outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated October 28, 2013, among the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriter. The Underwriter and its affiliates have from time to time provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and other services to the Company and its affiliates for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

 

The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02.                                        Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above with respect to the Operating Partnership’s issuance of units of limited partnership interest is incorporated by reference herein. The units of limited partnership interest will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 9.01.                                        Financial Statements and Exhibits.
