Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 20, 2016, Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an equity underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “Underwriter”), to issue and sell 2,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 412,500 shares of Common Stock. The Company expects to receive approximately $64.0 million in proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter’s option). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities. The shares are being offered pursuant to the Company’s prospectus supplement, dated July 21, 2016, and the accompanying base prospectus, dated September 24, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-198664) (the “Registration Statement”), which was initially filed with the SEC on September 9, 2014 and declared effective on September 24, 2014. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about July 26, 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is only a brief description of certain terms therein and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the offering, Miles & Stockbridge P.C. has provided the Company with an opinion regarding the legality of the shares and Baker & McKenzie LLP has provided the Company with an opinion as to certain tax matters. Copies of the opinions are attached to this report as Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements on the Company’s expectations regarding the completion and anticipated proceeds of the offering. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. No assurance can be given that the offering discussed above will be completed on the terms described, or at all. Completion of the offering on the terms described, and the application of net proceeds, are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in or incorporated by reference into the Risk Factors section of the Registration Statement. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes except as required by law.
