Olympia, Wash., Oct. 10 – Melcor Real Estate Investment Trust plans to redeem its outstanding $34.5 million 5.5% convertible debentures due Dec. 31, according to a press release.

The proposed redemption was announced along with the company’s agreement to acquire from an arm’s length third party a commercial property for about $54.8 million.

The REIT will issue $40 million of new 5.1% convertible debentures on a bought deal basis with up to an additional $6 million greenshoe. The conversion price will be $8.90, and the maturity date will be Dec. 31, 2024.
