Capital Activities and Balance Sheet Update
During the first quarter of 2012, Lexington repurchased and retired 34,800 shares of its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for $1.5 million, which was a $0.3 million discount to the liquidation preference.
As previously reported in January 2012, Lexington procured a $215.0 million secured seven-year term loan facility and refinanced its $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility with a new $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility which matures in January 2015, but can be extended for one year at Lexington’s option. Lexington used proceeds from these loans primarily to satisfy indebtedness, including the remaining balance of the $60.6 million term loans scheduled to mature in 2013 and the remaining $62.2 million of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes, which were repurchased pursuant to a holder option. Currently, $161.0 million is outstanding on the term loan and $50.0 million is outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Lexington entered into interest-rate swap agreements to fix LIBOR at a weighted-average 1.578% on $161.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the term loan through maturity. Accordingly, the blended interest rate on the $161.0 million of borrowings is 3.83% as of the date of this press release.
During the first quarter of 2012, Lexington satisfied $54.6 million of non-recourse mortgage loans on four properties which had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.35%.
Subsequent to quarter end, Lexington entered into a loan application to finance the Transamerica Tower in Baltimore, Maryland with a $55.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan which is expected to have an 11-year term and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.32%. Lexington can give no assurances that this financing will be consummated or these terms will be achieved.
In addition, on May 1, 2012, Lexington delivered a notice of redemption to the holders of its outstanding 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to redeem all outstanding shares on May 31, 2012 for $25.00 per share plus $0.335417 per share for accrued and unpaid dividends through May 31, 2012, which aggregate $69.4 million.
In connection with the expected redemption of its 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, Lexington also declared cash dividends of $0.8125 per share of its 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and $0.471875 per share of its 7.55% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Share dividend is payable on or about August 15, 2012, to shareholders of record of the Series C Preferred Shares as of July 31, 2012. The Series D Preferred Share dividend is payable on or about July 16, 2012, to shareholders of record of the Series D Preferred Shares as of June 29, 2012.
Concord Debt Holdings (Concord)
In May 2012, Lexington sold all of its interest in Concord and related entities for $7.0 million cash. This sale eliminated Lexington’s only source of excess inclusion income, which is generally required to be treated as “unrelated business taxable income”, or UBTI, by tax-exempt organizations.
Common Share Dividend/Distribution
Lexington declared a regular quarterly dividend/distribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $0.125 per common share/unit, which was paid on April 16, 2012 to common shareholders/unitholders of record as of March 30, 2012.

Lexington has the right to cause the borrower to refinance the construction loan with five-year financing meeting certain terms funded by foreign investors pursuant to the Employment-Based Immigration Fifth Preference visa program, also known as EB-5.
Leaseback Investments
Subsequent to quarter end, Lexington acquired an industrial property for $23.0 million (7.6% initial cap rate). The property encompasses 152 acres abutting a Union Pacific Railroad Line in Missouri City, Texas (Houston-Sugarland-Baytown, TX-CBSA) and is net-leased for a 20-year term.
2012 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Lexington increased its estimate of Company FFO by $0.02 per diluted share to a range of $0.92 to $0.95 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012. This guidance is forward looking, excludes the impact of certain items and is based on current expectations.

1 Lexington believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Lexington presents FFO because it considers FFO an important supplemental measure of Lexington’s operating performance. Lexington believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
FFO is determined in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as “net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” NAREIT recently clarified its computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges on depreciable real estate owned directly or indirectly. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Lexington includes in its calculation of FFO, which Lexington refers to as the “Company’s funds from operations” or “Company FFO,” Lexington’s operating partnership units, Lexington’s Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, and Lexington’s 6.00% Convertible Notes because these securities are convertible, at the holder’s option, into Lexington’s common shares. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties because Lexington presents Company FFO on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder’s option, into Lexington’s common shares, are converted. Since others do not calculate FFO in a similar fashion, Company FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
2 Reported Company Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) is calculated by making adjustments to Company FFO, as adjusted for (1) straight-line rent revenue, (2) lease incentive amortization, (3) amortization of above/below market leases, (4) cash paid for tenant improvements, (5) cash paid for lease costs, (6) non-cash general and administrative expenses, and (7) non-cash interest, net. Although FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, Lexington believes it provides a meaningful indication of its ability to fund cash needs. FAD is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of operating performance to net income, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity.
