Item 8.01. Other Events
------------
On November 9, 2004, American Mortgage Acceptance Company ("AMAC"), together
with two other co-lenders, provided a commitment (the "Commitment") to fund up
to $122 million to finance the proposed acquisition by Prime/Mansur Investment
Partners, LLC (the "Borrower") of all of the common shares and operating
partnership units of Prime Group Realty Trust and Prime Group Realty, L.P.
(collectively, "Prime") pursuant to a merger agreement entered into by Prime and
the Borrower and certain affiliates of the Borrower on October 27, 2004 (the
"Merger"). AMAC will be responsible for funding up to $74.5 million and the
co-lenders will be responsible for funding up to $47.5 million.
In connection with providing the Commitment, AMAC received a commitment fee of
$435,000.
Prime is a publicly traded real estate investment trust that invests in office
and industrial properties, predominately in the Metropolitan Chicago area.
There can be no assurance that the Commitment will be funded especially in light
of the fact that on November 10, 2004, Prime issued a press release stating that
the Merger terminated automatically in accordance with the terms of the merger
agreement because the Borrower did not obtain a financing commitment that
satisfied the requirements of the merger agreement. Prime went on to say that it
will continue its ongoing process of exploring a possible strategic transaction
involving Prime.
