4. Conditions to the Tender Offer

The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Terms of the Offer — Conditions to the Offer” is amended and supplemented by the following information:

The Financing Condition (as previously set forth on the front cover of this Offer to Purchase) has been satisfied as of September 30, 2010. In satisfaction of the Financing Condition, on September 30, 2010, we issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “New Notes”), resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $246.1 million after deducting the underwriters’ commission and estimated transaction expenses. The terms and conditions of the New Notes are set forth in the Officers’ Certificate Establishing the Terms of the Notes, dated as of September 23, 2010. The Offer remains subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase.

The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Terms of the Offer — Purpose of the Offer; Source of Funds” is amended and supplemented with the following information:

We announced on October 4, 2010 the final results of our cash tender offer to purchase up to $150,000,000 of our 5.95% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”). The tender offer expired at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on October 1, 2010. As of the expiration time, $56.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. We accepted for payment all 2011 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer for such notes and paid $59.3 million (including accrued and unpaid interest) pursuant to the terms of the tender offer. The Offer for the Convertible Notes is not affected by the completion of the tender offer for the 2011 Notes and continues in accordance with its terms as set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.

The last paragraph under the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Terms of the Offer — Conditions of the Offer” on page 8 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:

We also reserve the right to waive satisfaction of any or all of the conditions to the Offer. Our failure to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any other right and each right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted by us at any time and from time to time before the expiration of the offer.

The first paragraph under the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Terms of the Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders” on page 13 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:

5. Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements

A new subsection is added to the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “TERMS OF THE OFFER” on page 15 as follows:

Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements

We have entered into the following agreements with respect to the Convertible Notes.

Our outstanding debt securities are governed by a Senior Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1996, between the Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Senior Indenture was amended by a Supplemental Indenture dated July 3, 2007, between the Trust and the Trustee amending certain financial covenants.

On September 11, 2006, we issued $100.0 million of 3 7/8% convertible notes due 2026 in an underwritten public offering. On September 22, 2006, we issued an additional $10.0 million of the 3 7/8% convertible notes due 2026 in an underwritten public offering, upon the exercise by the underwriter of an over-allotment option granted by us. On January 22, 2007, we issued an additional $135.0 million of the 3 7/8% convertible notes due 2026 in an underwritten public offering. On January 30, 2007, we issued an additional $15.0 million of the 3 7/8% convertible notes due 2026 in an underwritten public offering, upon the exercise by the underwriter of an over-allotment option granted by us.

We have has entered into the following agreements with respect to our common shares.

The Trust is governed by a Declaration of Trust dated May 22, 1996. The Declaration of Trust was amended, with the approval of our shareholders (A) on September 21, 1998 to modify certain investment policies and to authorize the trustees to adopt future changes to the Declaration of Trust to preserve REIT status, (B) on June 24, 1999 to specify that (1) certain share ownership limitation provisions, or any other provision of the Declaration of Trust, will not preclude the settlement of any transaction entered through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system and (2) the occurrence of the settlement of any transaction will not negate the effect of the share ownership limitation provisions or any other provision of the Declaration of Trust and (C) on June 1, 2006 to increase the number of trustees that may be elected to the Board to eleven trustees. The Board of Trustees adopted amended and restated bylaws on October 22, 2009.

We may award our trustees, officers and non-officer employees restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares pursuant to our 2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Awards were previously made pursuant to a Share Grant Plan, which expired on December 15, 2007, as well as the 2001 Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Plan for Trustees. The shares and options granted pursuant to the above plans were not affected by the adoption of the 2007 Plan. However, if an award under the Share Grant Plan is forfeited or an award of options granted under the Option Plans expires without being exercised, the shares covered by those awards will not be available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.

Under the 2007 Plan, restricted share units are converted into our shares upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares. If an award under the 2007 Plan of restricted shares or restricted share units is forfeited or an award of options or any other rights granted under the 2007 Plan expires without being exercised, the shares covered by any such award would again become available for issuance under new awards.

 

3


Under the 2007 Plan, elected deferrals of short term incentive awards by officers are converted into restricted share units which vest immediately on the grant date and the Trust will match 25% of the deferred short term incentive in restricted share units, which vest at the end of three years. Dividends on these restricted share units are paid in the form of restricted share units valued based on the market value of our shares on the date dividends are paid.

The previous option plans provided for the grant of qualified and non-qualified options. Options granted under the plans were granted with exercise prices equal to the market price on the date of grant, vested 50% after year one and 50% after year two and expire ten years following the date of grant. Options granted to trustees were granted with exercise prices equal to the market price on the date of grant and were fully vested on the grant date. The last option awards to officers were in 2002, to non-officer key employees in 2003 and to trustees in 2004.

We previously maintained a Share Grant Plan for officers, trustees and other members of management. In 2004 and 2005, we granted awards to officers and other members of management in the form of restricted shares. Shares vest ratably over a five year period from the date of grant.

Beginning in 2005, we changed annual long-term incentive compensation for trustees from options of 2,000 shares plus 400 restricted shares to $30,000 in restricted shares. In May 2007, we increased the value of the restricted shares awarded to trustees to $55,000. These shares vest immediately and are restricted from sale for the period of the trustee’s service.

The 2007 Plan provides for the granting of restricted share units and performance share units to officers and other members of management, based upon various percentages of their salaries and their positions with the Trust. For officers, one-third of the award is in the form of restricted share units that vest 20% per year based upon continued employment and two-thirds of the award is in the form of performance share units subject to performance and market conditions. For other members of management, 100% of the award is in the form of restricted share units awarded based on one-year performance targets that vest ratably over five years from the grant date.

With respect to the officer performance share units that are subject to performance conditions, awards are based on three-year cumulative performance targets, for which targets will be set annually based on benchmarks with minimum and maximum payout thresholds. As the three-year cumulative performance targets are set independently each year, the grant date does not occur until all such targets are set and all of the significant terms of the award are known. With respect to the officer performance share units that are subject to market conditions, awards are based on a cumulative three-year market target which is set at the beginning of the three-year period. All performance share units awarded based on achievement of respective performance or market conditions cliff vest at the end of the three-year period. The program provides that participants who terminate prior to the end of the three-year performance period forfeit their entire portion of the award.

On November 12, 2009, we entered into a sales agency financing agreement with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC relating to the issuance and sale of up to $250.0 million of our common shares from time to time over a period of no more than 36 months, replacing a previous agreement made during the third quarter of 2008. Sales of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale.

We have entered into the following agreements in connection with other securities of the Trust:

On February 20, 1998, we issued $50.0 million of 7.25% unsecured notes due February 2028 in an underwritten public offering.

On March 17, 2003, we issued $60.0 million of 5.125% unsecured notes due March 2013 in an underwritten public offering.

On December 11, 2003, we issued $100.0 million of 5.25% unsecured notes due January 2014 in an underwritten public offering.

On April 26, 2005, we issued $50.0 million of 5.05% unsecured notes due May 2012 and $50.0 million of 5.35% unsecured notes due May 2015 in an underwritten public offering. On October 6, 2005, we issued an additional $100.0 million of the series of 5.35% unsecured notes due May 2015 in an underwritten public offering.

On June 6, 2006, we issued $100.0 million of 5.95% unsecured notes due June 2011 in an underwritten public offering. On July 26, 2006, we issued an additional $50.0 million of the series of 5.95% unsecured notes due June 2011 in an underwritten public offering.

On September 30, 2010, we issued $250.0 million of 4.95% senior notes due October 2020 in an underwritten public offering.

6. Financial Statements

A new subsection is added to the section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “TERMS OF THE OFFER” on page 15 as follows:
