ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
As noted in iStar Inc.'s (the "Company") Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017, in April 2017, institutional investors acquired a controlling interest in our ground lease business through the merger of a Company subsidiary and related transactions (the "Acquisition Transactions"). Shortly before the Acquisition Transactions, we completed a $227.0 million secured financing on our ground lease assets. As a result of the Acquisition Transactions, we deconsolidated the ground lease assets and the associated secured financing. The transactions described above involving our ground lease business qualified for discontinued operations.
In this Current Report on Form 8-K, we have recast certain historical financial information originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect the reclassification of our ground lease operations as discontinued operations. This reclassification as discontinued operations has no effect on the Company’s reported net income available to common shareholders as reported in prior SEC filings. Instead, it presents the revenues and expenses relating to our ground lease business as a single line item titled “Income from discontinued operations,” rather than presenting the revenues and expenses along with our other results of operations.
Items 6, 7 and 8 and Exhibits 12.3 and 100 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been recast for the discontinued operations described above, to the extent applicable, and are set forth on Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 100, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. We have not modified or updated any other disclosures presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. All other information in the Form 10-K remains unchanged.
