RULE 13E-3 TRANSACTION STATEMENT Introduction This Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this "Transaction Statement") is filed pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is part of business combination being proposed as part of a court approved settlement (the "Settlement Agreement") of a lawsuit styled Jack Olive, et. al. v. National Income Realty Trust, et al, Case No. C89 4331 MHP pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Olive Litigation"). The claims in the Olive Litigation related to the operation and management of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and IOT. Defendants in the lawsuit included, among others, American Realty Trust, Inc. ("ART") (a subsidiary of ARL), TCI, IOT, Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") and Gene E. Phillips ("Mr. Phillips"). BCM is a contractual advisor that is responsible for managing the affairs of ARL, TCI and IOT and for advising the respective boards on setting the policies which guide ARL, TCI and IOT. 2 TCI and IOT Mergers As a result of the Settlement Agreement, ARL has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of TCI and IOT through the merger of TCI and IOT with two newly formed wholly-owned subsidiaries of ARL, with TCI and IOT each being the surviving corporations (the "Business Combination"). Structure of the Transactions As part of the mergers, stockholders (other than Mr. Phillips, BCM, ARL and ART (collectively the "Affiliated Entities") or their affiliates) are to receive $19 per share in cash for IOT common stock or $17.50 per share in cash for TCI common stock, which amounts shall be reduced by any dividends paid after January 2, 2002 on the TCI or IOT common stock, respectively. In the mergers, the stockholders of TCI and IOT not affiliated with the Affiliated Entities have the opportunity (but no obligation) to affirmatively elect to receive shares of 10% Series G redeemable convertible preferred stock of ARL having a liquidation value of $20 per share in exchange for TCI common stock or shares of 10% Series H redeemable convertible preferred stock of ARL having a liquidation value of $21.50 per share in exchange for IOT common stock, which amounts shall be reduced by any dividends paid after January 2, 2002 on the TCI or IOT common stock, respectively. In the mergers, the Affiliated Entities will receive shares of the ARL preferred stock for the shares of common stock of TCI and IOT held by them, provided, however, that shares of TCI and IOT common stock held by ARL and its subsidiaries will be cancelled. The purchase prices and liquidation values have been established under the Settlement Agreement. The cash consideration to be paid to the nonaffiliated TCI and IOT stockholders is to be guaranteed by and become an obligation of the Affiliated Entities. The mergers are to occur only after the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the approval of each merger by a majority of the shares held by the nonaffiliated TCI and IOT stockholders, as applicable, who vote by in person or by proxy at meetings of stockholders called for that purpose. The ARL board of directors has determined that it will not enter into the TCI and IOT mergers until, in each case, sufficient cash is available to ARL, either from its own resources or from TCI or IOT immediately after the mergers, to pay the cash merger consideration due as a result of the mergers.
