Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 1, 2013, pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, dated as of May 15, 2013 (the "Agreement"), among DDR Corp. (the "Company") and certain affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (collectively, "Blackstone"),
the Company acquired sole ownership of a portfolio of 30 prime power centers (the "Acquisition") that were previously owned by BRE DDR Retail Holdings, LLC, a joint venture between the Company and Blackstone (the "Joint
Venture").
The Company acquired Blackstone's 95% interest in the properties, which are located in 18 states and represent an
aggregate of approximately 11.8 million square feet, of which 95% is leased. The Acquisition was valued at approximately $1.46 billion ($1.54 billion at 100%). On October 1, 2013, the Company made an approximately $566 million cash payment
to Blackstone. Furthermore, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company assumed Blackstone's 95% share of approximately $793 million of mortgage debt, of which approximately $139 million was repaid upon the closing of the
Acquisition. In addition, approximately $149 million of the preferred equity interest and mezzanine loan previously funded by the Company to the Joint Venture was repaid upon the closing of the Acquisition.
