ITEM 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

 

On March 30, 2005, TriNet Corporate Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was merged into iStar Financial Inc., a Maryland corporation.  Prior to the merger, TriNet was a wholly owned subsidiary of iStar.  iStar is the surviving corporation in the transaction and TriNet no longer exists as a separate entity.

 

As a result of the merger, iStar has become the obligor under TriNet’s 7.95% Senior Notes due 2006.  iStar has executed a supplemental indenture with respect to those notes to evidence its assumption of TriNet’s obligations under the notes.

 

On March 1, 2005, iStar completed an exchange offer in which iStar exchanged its 5.70% Series B Senior Notes due 2014 for 99.95% of TriNet’s outstanding 7.70% Senior Notes due 2017.  The remaining de minis principal amount of TriNet’s 7.70% Notes are being redeemed.
