Concord Debt Holdings LLC Receives $100 Million Revolving Credit Facility 
As result of the foregoing, approximately 91% of Concord's debt obligations are subject to financing with maturity or redemption dates, after giving effect to extensions, ranging between approximately three and nine years.
Michael L. Ashner, the Chief Executive Officer of WRP Management LLC, the manager of Concord, stated, "We believe that the current difficulties in the credit markets required us to focus our efforts on extending the duration of Concord's short term financial obligations and locking in additional acquisition financing. With the new KeyBank revolving credit facility and the recent modification to our Master Repurchase Agreement with Column, we view Concord as now well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the current debt markets." Mr. Ashner continued, "We are quite pleased with Concord's performance to date and note that all of its assets are performing in accordance with their terms other than its $44 million interest in the most senior level mezzanine loan secured by a portfolio of four office buildings in New York City owned by an entity owned and controlled by Harry Macklowe, which went into default when the loan matured in February 2008. We believe that given our position in the most senior mezzanine loan that there is more than sufficient value in the properties collateralizing this loan to enable the loan to ultimately be satisfied in full."
