Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously reported, on November 4, 2014, Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company”) through its operating partnership, Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into an agreement with a third-party seller to acquire an industrial portfolio consisting of three fully occupied properties aggregating 344,425 square feet, located within the Los Angeles – Mid-Counties and Inland Empire West sub-markets (the “Portfolio”). The terms “us,” “we,” and “our,” refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including our Operating Partnership).

On December 3, 2014, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, completed the acquisition of two of the three properties in the Portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of $16.7 million.  The acquisition was funded through borrowings on our revolving credit facility and available cash on hand.  The completion of the acquisition of the third property, which is currently encumbered by approximately $5.4 million of mortgage debt, is subject to the lender’s approval of the loan assumption and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
