Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 5, 2015, we issued a press release announcing that on December 29, 2014, Hudson First Financial Plaza, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, entered into an agreement of purchase and sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Douglas Emmett Management, LLC (“Purchaser”), an affiliate of Douglas Emmett, Inc., pursuant to which we agreed to sell our First Financial office property located in Encino, California to Purchaser for a purchase price of $89.0 million (before certain credits, proration and closing costs) (the “Transaction”).
