Item 8.01. Other Events.
Our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2013 contained disclosure regarding a pledge by Mr. Roskind to a third-party lender of certain units of limited partner interest in each of Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. and Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., which we refer to as OP units, that he beneficially owns. Mr. Roskind's pledge is for 1,192,299 OP units, which are currently convertible into approximately 1,342,529 common shares of beneficial interest of Lexington Realty Trust, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock, which we refer to as common shares.
We believe Mr. Roskind's pledge is mitigated by the following factors: (1) Mr. Roskind's pledge is additional collateral for a mortgage loan obtained by Mr. Roskind that had a balance of approximately $6.0 million at origination and is secured by three properties owned by Mr. Roskind with annual income equal to approximately nine times the debt service at origination, (2) Mr. Roskind's pledge will be released by the lender upon Mr. Roskind meeting certain conditions and (3) Mr. Roskind's pledge represents less than one percent of the 214,035,727 common shares outstanding as of May 3, 2013.
