Moonee Ponds Sale Agreement

On October 15, 2013, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Moonee Ponds Pty Ltd, an affiliate of Leighton Properties Pty Ltd, for the sale of our properties located in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, Australia.  The agreement calls for a sale price of AUS$23.0 million payable in full on April 16, 2015.  Leighton Properties Pty Ltd. has guaranteed the purchaser’s performance.  Our attorney has received from the purchaser bank guaranties and checks to the value of AUS$2.3 million representing the agreed upon 10% deposit.  These amounts will be held by our attorney and released to us upon settlement on April 16, 2015. The contract is subject to approval by the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board.  While no assurances can be given, this approval process is currently not anticipated to take longer than thirty business days to complete from the agreement date.   Prior to settlement, Reading retains title to the properties, is responsible for their costs (including taxes and utilities), and is entitled to receive all of their revenues (the properties are currently used as a parking lot).   The properties comprise approximately 3.3 acres and are carried on our books at $11.6 million (AUS$12.4 million) at September 30, 2013.
