Item 8.01.   Other Events.

 

On May 3, 2005, Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Company”) executed an agreement for the benefit of the several underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Underwriters”), to extend the lock-up period prescribed by Section 5(i) of the Underwriting Agreement, dated August 10, 2004, by and among the Company and the Underwriters, for an additional 30-day period, such that the Company’s lock-up period will now expire on June 6, 2005, instead of May 7, 2005.

 

Additionally, on or about May 2, 2005, each of the trustees, officers and other shareholders of the Company who entered into lock-up agreements in connection with the Company’s initial public offering executed similar 30-day extensions of their individual lock-up agreements.  As a result of these extensions, the approximately 885,000 common shares of the Company that are held by these shareholders will not become available for sale in the public market until June 7, 2005, unless the representatives of the Underwriters released these shareholders from their lock-up agreements prior to such expiration.

 

Under NASD Rule 2711(f)(4), investment banks who have acted as manager or co-manager of a securities offering are restricted in their ability to publish or otherwise distribute research reports or make public appearances concerning a subject company for 15 days prior to or after the expiration, waiver or termination of a lock-up agreement restricting or prohibiting the sale of securities by the subject company or its shareholders after the completion of a securities offering.  In light of this NASD rule, and because the Company’s earnings conference call is scheduled for May 6, 2005, the Company and the shareholders mentioned above voluntarily agreed to extend their lock-up agreements.
