Re-opening of Unsecured Bonds due 2035

In June 2011, we re-opened our 5.875% senior unsecured bonds due 2035, or the 2035 Bonds, and issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of these 2035 Bonds. The price to the investor for the 2035 Bonds was 94.578% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 6.318%. The 2035 Bonds constituted an additional issuance of, and a single series with, the $100 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured bonds that we issued in March 2005. The net proceeds of approximately $140.1 million will be used to fund a portion of our previously announced property acquisitions aggregating approximately $544 million.

The price to the investor for the 2021 Notes was 99.404% of the principal amount for an effective yield of 5.826%. The net proceeds of approximately $246.3 million from this offering were used to repay borrowings under our acquisition credit facility, which were incurred to finance the acquisition of our properties under triple-net lease agreements with Diageo Chateau & Estates Wine Company and guaranteed by Diageo plc.
