Item 5. Other Events
On July 9, 2004, Trizec Properties, Inc., or Trizec, announced the acceleration of its plans for the disposition of non-core properties consistent with its portfolio repositioning strategy. Trizec is required to estimate the fair market values of these properties and recognize as an impairment the excess, if any, of the current carrying values of these properties over their current estimated fair market values. As a result, Trizec will recognize an impairment charge on nine of these properties. Trizec will also recognize an impairment charge on one additional property, the Plaza of the Americas building located in Dallas, Texas, due to the recent sale of a 50% joint venture interest in this asset.
Consequently, Trizec will recognize an impairment charge of approximately $146.0 million related to the provisions for loss on real estate and investments with respect to these ten properties. In addition, Trizec will recognize approximately $6.0 million for losses on early debt retirement due to the recent refinancings of several of its properties. The impairment charge and the loss on early debt retirement, which will be approximately $152.0 million in the aggregate, will be reflected in Trizecs results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 9, 2004, Trizec announced that it will recognize, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004, an impairment charge associated with ten of its properties and a loss on early debt retirement due to its recent refinancings of several of its properties. A copy of Trizecs press release pursuant to which this announcement was made is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information contained under Item 12 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed or to be filed by Trizec under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
