Item 1.01             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 5, 2015, Physicians Realty Trust (the “Company”), through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, Physicians Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into and closed a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Minnetonka Medical Building, LLC, an affiliate of The Davis Group (“MMB”), and another investor also associated with The Davis Group (together with MMB, the “Contributors”), to acquire a medical office building in Minnetonka, Minnesota (the “Minnetonka MOB”) in exchange for approximately $26 million payable in newly designated Series A Participating Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (“Series A Preferred Units”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Mark Davis acquired a less than 1% minority interest in the property holding entity that was acquired by a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The Minnetonka MOB has approximately 63,500 square feet, and is 100% occupied by North Memorial Healthcare, a comprehensive health care system, on a long-term triple net lease.

 

On February 5, 2015, the Operating Partnership entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) which provides for the designation and issuance of the Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units will have priority over all other partnership interests of the Operating Partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation. In addition, the Series A Preferred Units will be redeemable at the option of the Contributors on or after the one year anniversary of their issuance, which redemption obligation may be satisfied, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of its common stock. The foregoing description of the Partnership Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Partnership Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01             Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information set forth above under Items 1.01 and 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the acquisition of properties and facilities, including the Minnetonka MOB, is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02             Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the purchase of the Minnetonka MOB is incorporated herein by reference. Holders of the Series A Preferred Units issued in connection with the acquisition of the Minnetonka MOB will be entitled to certain redemption rights under the Partnership Agreement which allow them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the Series A Preferred Units in exchange for cash, or at the Operating Partnership’s option, for the Company’s common shares, pursuant to a formula provided in the Partnership Agreement and currently on an approximately one for 12.65 basis. Approximately 44,685 Series A Preferred Units were issued in the transaction to acquired the Minnetonka MOB. The investors in the The Series A Preferred Units have agreed not cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Series A Preferred Units prior to February 5, 2016.

 

In addition, on January 28, 2015, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership closed the acquisition of three medical office buildings in Greenwood, Indiana, and, as part of the transaction, approximately 420,963 common units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Common Units”) were issued, which comprised an approximately $7.3 million portion of the purchase price for the properties. Holders of Common Units are also entitled to certain redemption rights under the Partnership Agreement which allow them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the Common Units in exchange for cash, or at the Operating Partnership’s option, for the Company’s common shares, currently on a one for one basis. The investors in the Common Units have agreed not cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Series A Preferred Units prior to January 28, 2016.

 

The Series A Preferred Units and Common Units were issued (a) in private placements in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and

regulations promulgated thereunder and (b) to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

Item 3.03             Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01             Other Events.

 

In addition to the acquisition of the Minnetonka MMB, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership entered into and closed seven purchase and sale or contribution agreements with other affiliates of The Davis Group and investors associated with The Davis Group to acquire six medical office facilities located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan area and one additional medical office facility located in Jamestown, North Dakota. The Davis Group acquired or retained a less than 1% minority interest in five property holding entities that otherwise were wholly acquired by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The final building in the portfolio is under an executed purchase and sale agreement for $10.9 million and is expected to close by the end of the February. The properties acquired to date, which includes the Minnetonka MOB, were acquired for approximately $89.9 million of cash and, for the Minnesota MOB, 44,685 newly designated Series A Preferred Units.
