NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nArkhouse Partners LLC, AS8888 LLC, an entity of The Sapir Organization, and 8F Investment Partners Pte. Ltd., which together beneficially own approximately 3.3% of Columbia Property Trust, Inc.\u2019s (NYSE: CXP) (\u201cColumbia\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) outstanding common stock, today sent the below letter to the Company\u2019s Board of Directors.\n<\/p>\n

\n***\n<\/p>\n

\nMarch 18, 2021\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Board of Directors
\n
Columbia Property Trust, Inc.
\n
315 Park Avenue South
\n
New York, New York 10010\n<\/p>\n

\nDear Members of the Board:\n<\/p>\n

\nArkhouse Partners LLC (together with its affiliates, \u201cArkhouse<\/span>\u201d), AS8888 LLC, an entity of The Sapir Organization (\u201cSapir<\/span>\u201d) and 8F Investment Partners Pte. Ltd. (together with its affiliates, \u201c8F<\/span>\u201d and together with Arkhouse and Sapir, \u201cwe<\/span>\u201d, \u201cus<\/span>\u201d or the \u201cInvestor Group<\/span>\u201d) are pleased to present a proposal to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Columbia Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CXP) (\u201cColumbia<\/span>\u201d or the \u201cCompany<\/span>\u201d) for $19.50 per share in cash. We are submitting this proposal to the Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard<\/span>\u201d) with the goal of facilitating a productive discussion and ultimately negotiating a mutually agreeable transaction that is in the best interest of stockholders.\n<\/p>\n

\nArkhouse is a specialized real estate investment firm with significant experience investing across the commercial property sector. The Sapir Organization is an established, multidisciplinary real estate investor, operator and developer that has owned, developed and managed more than 7 million square feet of Manhattan real estate. 8F is a diversified, global group with expertise in asset management, private market investments, advisory and capital raising. As of the date of this letter, the Investor Group beneficially owns approximately 3.3% of Columbia\u2019s outstanding common stock.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe are experienced real estate investors that believe in the long-term value of Columbia\u2019s high-quality office holdings. We have spent considerable energy and time evaluating Columbia\u2019s portfolio, operating markets, management and strategy, and have made a meaningful investment in the Company. However, we are concerned about the Company\u2019s lengthy track record of underperformance in the public market and challenges the Company faces on its current course. This general concern is compounded by Columbia\u2019s headwinds across geographies through 2021. The Company has recently guided a decrease in funds from operations, (14%-20%), a drop in same store net operating income (3%-5%) and a reduction in portfolio lease percentage (1%-6%). Ultimately, we have concluded that Columbia\u2019s stockholders are not likely to realize the value of the Company\u2019s assets in the foreseeable future if the Company remains on its current course in the public market.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe believe our proposal gives the Company\u2019s stockholders \u2013 many of whom have already suffered through years of value erosion \u2013 an attractive opportunity to obtain immediate liquidity at a full and fair valuation, with a premium of approximately 29% over the closing stock price on Friday, March 12, 2021. The Board is no doubt aware that many stockholders have been forced to endure negative returns and significant losses over several horizons, including one-year (-27%), three-year (-29%) and five-year (-25%) timeframes.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nIn our view, our proposal delivers full value that exceeds what the Company can be expected to achieve in the coming years based on the expected public market challenges and leadership\u2019s stated plans. We also believe our proposal would be beneficial to the Company\u2019s officers and employees, who we envision working with to grow the Company over the long-term in the more forgiving, stable private market. Notwithstanding our interest in acquiring 100% of the Company\u2019s outstanding stock, we are open to discussing the participation of the Company\u2019s officers and employees, and holders of units of Columbia Operating Partnership, L.P., in the proposed transaction (although such participation is not a condition to our proposal).\n<\/p>\n

\nWe have assembled a team of experienced advisors and counsel to assist us in moving quickly and efficiently toward consummating a transaction. We have executed a term sheet for financing with a global alternative investment management firm with approximately $50 billion in assets and a long track record of lending against and investing in all types of corporate and real estate transactions.2<\/sup> We are highly confident that we can arrange all necessary financing to complete the transaction, including refinancing or replacement of the Company\u2019s existing debt. Accordingly, any definitive agreement providing for the proposed transaction will not contain any financing contingencies.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe are prepared to move forward with confirmatory due diligence right away. This can be done while concurrently negotiating definitive documentation and finalizing and entering into definitive agreements. We believe this can occur within the next 45-60 days if the Board is prepared to promptly enter into a good faith process.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs you are aware, Arkhouse has nominated six highly-qualified candidates for election to the Board at the Company\u2019s upcoming 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Arkhouse\u2019s slate has considerable experience in the areas of corporate governance, finance, real estate investing, property management and strategic transactions. In an attempt to work constructively with the Board, Arkhouse opted to not announce its nomination for several weeks in an effort to commence a substantive, private discussion with Columbia\u2019s leadership about a mutually agreeable resolution that was in the best interest of stockholders. We remain willing to discuss a negotiated resolution involving the withdrawal of the nomination.\n<\/p>\n

\nPlease note that this letter represents a non-binding indication of interest, and the proposed transaction would be subject to completion of our confirmatory due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements containing customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type and size, and other customary conditions.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe believe that the next step would be for us to meet with you to discuss this opportunity, and we propose to arrange a meeting during the week of March 22, 2021.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe look forward to hearing from you and to working with you and your advisors to complete a negotiated transaction that is in the best interests of the Company\u2019s stockholders.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

\nSincerely,<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
