Item 32. | Sales to Special Parties |
During the past six months, our operating partnership sold securities to affiliates of RAIT, and affiliates of RAIT have exchanged common units in our operating partnership for shares of our common stock, as set forth in Item 33 below.
Item 33. | Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities |
Wholly owned subsidiaries of RAIT Financial Trust received units in our operating partnership as follows: (i) $39,215,000 in common units at $10.00 per unit as consideration for the contribution of six properties to us on April 29, 2011; (ii) $11,900,000 in common units at $10.00 per unit as consideration for the contribution of one property to us on December 16, 2011; (iii) $1,250,000 in common units at $10.00 per unit in exchange for cash on April 29, 2011; (iv) $382,000 in common units at $10.00 per unit in exchange for cash on December 16, 2011; and (v) $3,500,000 in Series B preferred units at $10,000 per unit in exchange for cash on October 11, 2012. On May 7, 2013, all of the common units held by RAIT and its affiliates were exchanged for 5,274,900 shares of our common stock and IRT Limited Partner, LLC contributed $1,000 to our operating partnership and was issued 100 common units, which were not exchanged. No sales commission or other consideration was paid in connection with such sales or exchanges, which were consummated without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Act as transactions not involving any public offering. In connection with this offering, our operating partnership intends to redeem its Series B preferred units for $3,500,000.
On January 3, 2012, we classified 125 shares of our preferred stock as 12.5% Series A cumulative non-voting preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, which we refer to as Series A preferred stock. On January 4, 2012, we issued and sold all of the shares of the Series A preferred stock in a private offering, which we refer to as the preferred stock offering, for $1,000 per share, or $125,000 in the aggregate, to 125 accredited investors
who are not affiliated with us. Customary advisory, set-up and administrative fees and commissions, including approximately $6,250 of brokerage or placement fees, were paid in connection with the preferred stock offering. The preferred stock offering was not registered under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from such registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The proceeds from the sale of the Series A preferred stock were used to pay a portion of the purchase price of a property. In connection with this offering, we intend to redeem our Series A preferred stock (and our operating partnership intends to redeem the related Series A preferred units) for $137,500.
Item 34. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision.
The Maryland General Corporation Law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The Maryland General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses.
In addition, the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporations receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, our charter authorizes us to obligate our company and our bylaws obligate us to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former director or officer and (b) any individual who, while a director or officer and at our request, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, member, manager, or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise (such persons being referred to herein as an Indemnitee) from and against any claim or liability to which an Indemnitee may become subject or which the Indemnitee may incur by reason of his, her or its service in such capacities. Our charter and bylaws also permit us to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a predecessor of our company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of our company or a predecessor of our company.
Our charter and bylaws provide that neither the amendment, nor the repeal, nor the adoption of any other provision of the charter or bylaws will apply to or affect, in any respect, an indemnified persons right to indemnification for any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.
II-2
To the extent that the indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 37. | Undertakings |
(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
II-3
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
II-4
