DDR Corp. (DDR) announced an agreement to acquire a portfolio of prime power centers from its existing joint venture with Blackstone Real Estate Partners VII (BX). The acquisition, which is expected to close in Q4 subject to customary closing conditions, will significantly increase DDR's cash flow generated by very high quality, large format prime power centers located in top MSA's in the United States. The joint venture between Blackstone and DDR currently owns 44 shopping centers, and DDR has executed a purchase and sale agreement to acquire Blackstone's 95% common equity ownership interest in 30 of these shopping centers for $1.46B. DDR intends to fund this acquisition through a combination of the assumption of $398M in existing debt, nearly $150M from the repayment of preferred equity and mezzanine loans previously funded by DDR and proceeds from the issuance of common equity and unsecured debt. As part of the consideration, DDR has the right, subject to certain conditions, to issue common shares to Blackstone in an amount not to exceed $250M. | | | 16:07 EDT | | BX | DDR Corp. acquires select prime power centers from its Blackstone JV for $1.46B
