The offering of the Shares was made under Sizeler's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-107043) (the "Registration Statement"), including a related prospectus dated July 12, 2004, as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement dated March 14, 2005, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Shares were delivered against payment of the purchase price on March 15, 2005.  The Shares were issued at a price below the current market price, based upon a determination by Sizeler's Board of Directors that the additional equity would aid the Company in achieving the strategic and financial objectives described in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.<p>The Purchase Agreement contains customary agreements and representations and warranties of Sizeler and customary conditions to closing and termination provisions.  <p>A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report.  <p>Also on March 14, 2005, the Company entered into a Placement Agent Agreement with Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors LLC ("Cohen & Steers") pursuant to which the Company engaged Cohen & Steers to act as exclusive placement agent for this transaction.
