Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Camden Property Trust (the “Company”) has formed Camden Multifamily Value Add Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”), a discretionary investment vehicle to make direct and indirect investments in multifamily real estate throughout the United States, primarily through acquisitions of operating properties and certain land parcels to be contributed by the Company to the Fund for development. The Fund will serve, until the earlier of (i) four years from the date of the final closing of the Fund or (ii) such time as 90% of the Fund’s committed capital is invested, as the exclusive vehicle through which the Company will acquire fully-developed multifamily properties, subject to certain exceptions. The term of the Fund is eight years, subject to two one-year extensions. The Company expects the Fund to have equity commitments of up to an aggregate of $300 million, and the ability to employ leverage through debt financings up to 70% on a portfolio basis, which would enable the Fund to invest up to approximately $1 billion. We have received commitments from an unaffiliated investor of $150 million as of December 31, 2007. One of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner of the Fund and the Company has committed 20% of the total equity of the Fund, up to $60 million. The Company expects the final closing on the equity funding to occur during 2008. There can be no assurance as to the timing of such closing or the size or investment performance of the Fund.
The interests in the Fund will not be or have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
