Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 21, 2010, the Registrant (the “Trust” or “BRT”) issued a press release announcing its intention to commence a tender offer on or about September 22, 2010 for up to 2,500,000 shares of beneficial interest at a price per share of $6.30. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Trust has not yet commenced the tender offer. The full details of any tender offer, including complete instructions on how to tender shares, will be included in the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related materials, which will be mailed to BRT shareholders promptly following commencement of the tender offer. The solicitation of offers to sell the Trust’s shares of beneficial interest will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related materials. Shareholders should read carefully the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials when they are available because they will contain important information. Shareholders may obtain free copies, when available, of the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other related materials that will be filed by BRT with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. When available, shareholders also may obtain a copy of these documents, free of charge, from the Information Agent retained by BRT in connection with the offer.
