General

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC (“Brookfield DTLA Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, and an indirect subsidiary of Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”).

Prior to October 15, 2013, 333 South Hope Co. LLC (“333 South Hope”) and EYP Realty LLC (“EYP Realty”) were controlled by BPO through its indirect ownership interest in TRZ Holdings IV LLC (“TRZ”). TRZ owned 100% of the member units of 333 South Hope and EYP Realty, and BPO indirectly owned approximately 84% of the member units of TRZ.

On October 15, 2013, through a series of formation transactions, TRZ’s interests in 333 South Hope and EYP Realty were contributed to subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA in exchange for preferred and common interests in Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“New OP”) and a preferred interest in Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties III LLC (“DTLA OP”). 333 South Hope owned Bank of America Plaza (“BOA Plaza”) and EYP Realty owned Ernst & Young Plaza (“EY Plaza”). Both of these Class A commercial properties are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

MPG Acquisition

On October 15, 2013, Brookfield DTLA completed the acquisition of MPG (the “merger”) pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As part of the transaction, MPG was contributed to New OP in exchange for a preferred interest in New OP. In addition to BOA Plaza and EY Plaza, Brookfield DTLA now owns Wells Fargo Center–North Tower (also known as “Wells Fargo Tower”), Wells Fargo Center–South Tower (also known as “KPMG Tower”), Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, each of which are Class A office properties located in the LACBD that were formerly owned by MPG.

At the effective time of the merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of MPG common stock was automatically converted into, and canceled in exchange for, the right to receive $3.15 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding tax and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of MPG (the “MPG Preferred Stock”) automatically, and without a vote by the holders of MPG Preferred Stock, was converted into and canceled in exchange for, the right to receive one share of the Company’s Series A preferred stock.

In connection with the acquisition, DTLA Fund Holding Co., a subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings, made a tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of MPG Preferred Stock for cash consideration of $25.00 per share (the “offer price”). A total of 372,901 shares of MPG Preferred Stock were validly tendered into the offer and the holders thereof received the offer price for such shares. At the effective time of the merger, each share of MPG Preferred Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger, including each share of MPG Preferred Stock acquired by DTLA Fund Holding Co. in the offer, was exchanged for one share of Series A preferred stock of the Company with rights, terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the MPG Preferred Stock.
