BOSTON, June 2, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- FUR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Winthrop Realty Trust (NYSE: FUR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) acquired today: (i) a first mortgage loan secured by a 19 story, 289,000 square foot office building located at 160 Spear Street, San Francisco, California; and (ii) a first mortgage loan secured by a two-building four story office complex containing 116,000 square feet located at 3737 & 3877 North 7th Street, Phoenix, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price, after giving effect to an additional advance of $850,000 on the 160 Spear loan, of $44 million.

The 160 Spear loan has an outstanding principal balance of $73,795,919 (after giving effect to the $850,000 advance), bears interest at a rate of 6.48215% ($4,850,000 per annum), and matures on June 9, 2012, subject to a one-year extension which extension requires the payment of a $850,000 extension fee. In addition, the borrower has the right to prepay the loan at any time for a discounted payoff amount of $50 million plus any further advances made by Winthrop to the borrower. Winthrop has further agreed to make additional advances to the borrower over the next two years in equal quarterly installments in arrears of $600,000 ($4,800,000 in the aggregate), which additional advances will bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, will be coterminous with the current loan and will be secured by the property.

The Phoenix loan has an outstanding principal balance of $7,218,670, bears interest at 9.8375% ($720,000 per annum) and matures on June 9, 2012. In addition, the borrower has the right to prepay the loan at any time for a discounted payoff amount of $5.5 million.

Based on the $44 million purchase price, the effective annual unlevered yield to Winthrop, excluding the additional $4,800,000 future funding obligation, is 12.6% and the unlevered yield to maturity is 17.65%, again excluding the additional $4,800,000 funding obligation and assuming both loans are paid at their maturity at the discounted payoff amounts.

Winthrop acquired both loans from its Concord Debt Holdings joint venture and financed the purchase from $35 million drawn on its credit line with KeyBank and the balance from its cash reserves.
