Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 6, 2009, Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“Lehman”) entered into a Satisfaction, Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties terminated their right, title and interest in, to and under the Loan and Security Agreement dated May 30, 2008 as amended and restated on September 10, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”), the associated note (the “Note”) and the other related documents (collectively with the Loan Agreement and the Note, the “Terminated Documents”) pursuant to which it financed the purchase of a single mezzanine loan (the “Collateral”). As of the termination, the Company had an $18.0 million outstanding obligation due under the Terminated Documents, and the Company’s recorded book value of the Collateral as of December 31, 2008 was $25.9 million.
Under the Termination Agreement, the Company consented to transfer to Lehman, and Lehman unconditionally accepted, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in the Collateral (the “Transfer”), and the Transfer unconditionally and fully satisfied all of the obligations of the Company under the Terminated Documents, including without limitation the obligations to pay all amounts due thereunder. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company and Lehman acknowledged that the Terminated Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, were terminated and of no further force and effect and that the Company and Lehman released and discharged each other from all of their respective obligations or liabilities under the Terminated Documents.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement, which will be attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009, which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2009.
