The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 28, 2011

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

$250,000,000

LOGO

Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.

Exchange Offer for

8.750% Senior Notes due 2019

 

 

We are offering to exchange up to $250,000,000 of our new 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019, which are wholly and unconditionally guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., and certain subsidiaries of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “exchange notes”), which will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for any and all of our outstanding 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019, which are wholly and unconditionally guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., and certain subsidiaries of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., (the “outstanding notes”). We are offering to exchange the exchange notes for the outstanding notes to satisfy our obligations contained in the registration rights agreement that we entered into when the outstanding notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Exchange Offer

 

   

We will exchange all outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of exchange notes that are freely tradable, except in limited circumstances as described below.

 

   

You may withdraw tenders of outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

 

   

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on             ,         , unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

 

   

The exchange of the outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

   

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

The Exchange Notes

 

   

The terms of the exchange notes to be issued in the exchange offer are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be freely tradable, except in limited circumstances described below.

Resales of the Exchange Notes

 

   

The exchange notes may be sold in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or through a combination of such methods. We do not plan to list the notes on any securities exchange or market.


Table of Contents

All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the related indenture. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we currently do not anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before participating in the exchange offer.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. In addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

If you are our affiliate or are engaged in, or intend to engage in, or have an agreement or understanding to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, you cannot rely on the applicable interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and you must comply with the registration requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is             ,         .

Our Company

Founded in 1977, we are a diversified, international real estate investment and services firm. We are a vertically-integrated real estate operating company with over 300 professionals in 23 offices throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. As of September 30, 2011, we had real estate assets with an estimated value of approximately $10 billion under our management totaling over 50 million square feet of properties throughout the U.S., Europe and Japan. This amount includes ownership interests in 12,738 multifamily apartment units, of which 204 units are owned by our consolidated subsidiaries and 12,534 are held in joint ventures.

Our operations are comprised of two core business units: KW Investments and KW Services.

We have an integrated business model in which our services and investments segments complement each other and drive business across the platform. Our clients consist of a broad range of financial institutions (including banks and insurance companies) and real estate owners who require a full complement of real estate services. We have developed a network of established industry relationships through our services platform, which we believe provides us access to off-market investments, which we source primarily from financial institutions. Since January 1, 2010, approximately 80% of our deals, many of which originated from distressed situations at the seller, have been sourced directly from banks as opposed to competitive auction processes. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we generated Adjusted EBITDA of $58.4 million and $41.6 million, respectively.

Our Business Segments

KW Investments invests our capital and our equity partners’ capital in multifamily, residential and office properties as well as loans secured by real estate. KW Services provides a full array of real estate-related services to investors and lenders, with a focus on financial institution clients.

KW Investments

We invest our capital and our equity partners’ capital in real estate assets through joint ventures, separate accounts and commingled funds. We are an investment manager that typically acts as the general partner in these investment vehicles with ownership interests ranging from approximately 5% to 50% of the total equity investment in such vehicles. Our equity partners are not affiliated with us and include financial institutions, foundations, endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional investors. We often get promoted interests in the profits of our investments beyond our ownership percentage.

Our investment philosophy is based on three core fundamentals:

 

   

significant proprietary deal flow from an established network of industry relationships, particularly with financial institutions;

 

 

1


Table of Contents
   

focus on a systematic research process with a disciplined approach to investing; and

 

   

superior in-house operating execution.

Our target investment markets include California, Washington, Hawaii, Japan and certain markets in Europe, which we have identified as areas with dense populations, high barriers to entry, scarcity of land and supply constraints. We typically focus on the following opportunities:

 

   

real estate owners or lenders seeking liquidity;

 

   

under-managed or under-leased assets; and

 

   

repositioning opportunities.

Since 1999, we and our equity partners have invested in 213 transactions, deploying approximately $9.7 billion of capital, including over $4.2 billion of equity. We have liquidated our interests in 95 of these transactions, which have generated an internal rate of return, or IRR, of 42% and an equity multiple (excluding our promoted interest) of 1.64x. Since January 1, 2010, we and our equity partners have acquired over $4.5 billion of real estate assets, with approximately $2.1 billion of equity. Of these acquisitions, 54% were in loans secured by real estate, 38% were in multifamily assets, and 8% were in other real estate assets. As of September 30, 2011, our portfolio consisted of 115 investments totaling over $3.8 billion of capital, including over $1.5 billion of equity provided by our equity partners and us.

Recently, we established Kennedy Wilson Europe, or KWE, by acquiring the Bank of Ireland’s Real Estate Investment Management division, or BOI REIM, which resulted in the addition of real estate investments with an estimated value of $2.3 billion to the real estate assets under our management. KWE, with offices in Dublin and London, is currently staffed with 16 real estate professionals who were previously at BOI REIM and is led by Peter Collins, who has extensive real estate experience in Europe. Between 2004 and 2009, while at BOI REIM, our KWE professionals collectively acquired approximately $4 billion of real estate assets, primarily in Western Europe, including $1.5 billion in the United Kingdom.

Our expansion into Europe is based on the same strategy we used to establish operations in Japan nearly two decades ago. Following the global recession of the early 1990s, we began doing business in Japan in 1993 by purchasing loans and real estate assets primarily from Japanese financial institutions, which culminated in the initial public offering of Kennedy Wilson Japan (our Japanese asset management division) in 2002. We subsequently sold our ownership interest in Kennedy Wilson Japan and formed KW Residential, a private company that currently owns 50 multifamily assets in Japan comprising 2,410 units. Today, we own 41.5% of KW Residential with the balance held by subsidiaries of Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited.

(1) Includes for-sale residential, properties, condominiums and residential land.

As of December 15, 2011, our investment account had increased to approximately $664.4 million, primarily as a result of our participation in the acquisition of a loan portfolio in the United Kingdom, our purchase of 180.2 million units of ordinary stock of the Bank of Ireland and our participation in the acquisition of four office buildings in Los Angeles.

KW Services

KW Services offers a comprehensive line of real estate services for the full lifecycle of real estate ownership and investment to clients that include financial institutions, developers, builders and government agencies. KW Services has three business lines: real estate auction and conventional sales, property management services and real estate investment management. These three business lines generate revenue for us through commissions and fees.

Since our inception, we have sold more than $10 billion of real estate through our auction platform and are considered one of the leaders in real estate auction marketing, conducting live and online auctions. Our auction group executes accelerated marketing programs for all types of residential and commercial real estate. From January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011, we auctioned and conventionally sold approximately $200 million of properties in California, Oregon, Washington, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Utah, and North Carolina.

Table of Contents

We manage over 50 million square feet of properties for institutional clients and individual investors in the U.S., Japan and Europe, including 12,738 multifamily apartment units, of which 204 units are owned by our consolidated subsidiaries and 12,534 are held in joint ventures. With 23 offices throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan, including five regional hubs, we have the capabilities and resources to provide property management services to real estate owners globally. In addition, through our investment management business, we provide acquisition, asset management and disposition services to our equity partners and to third parties. As of September 30, 2011, we had real estate assets with an estimated value of approximately $10 billion under our management, including approximately $2.3 billion in Europe. As of December 15, 2011, the estimated value of our real estate assets under management had increased to approximately $12 billion, primarily as a result of our participation in the acquisition of a loan portfolio in the United Kingdom.

Additionally, KW Services plays a critical role in supporting our investment strategy by providing local market intelligence and real-time data for evaluating and valuing investments, generating proprietary transaction flow and creating value through efficient implementation of asset management or repositioning strategies.

Market Opportunity

We operate our business in three real estate markets, the United States, Japan and Europe. We believe that these three markets provide us and our capital partners compelling investment opportunities to execute and realize substantial returns.

United States

We believe that the recent economic, capital and credit markets events have and will continue to create substantial buying opportunities as properties or loans secured by real estate may be purchased at significant discounts to historical cost. Many asset and loan dispositions will result from: (i) highly leveraged property owners who will have loans coming due in 2011 and 2012 but will be unable to refinance; (ii) assets and loan sales directly from financial institutions; and (iii) companies reducing real estate portfolios to raise cash and shore up their balance sheets.

Following the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, financial institutions continue to face significant pressure on their balance sheets. We believe that, as financial institutions remain under pressure to move assets off of their balance sheets, our strong sourcing relationships will position us to acquire properties at discounts often prior to public auction processes. We believe these institutions will look to firms with whom they have long-standing relationships and that can execute acquisitions quickly and discreetly. Additionally, we have long-standing relationships with regional and international lenders who have demonstrated an ability and willingness to offer financing for investments.

Over the past several years, many U.S. real estate markets have experienced a downturn in occupancy and property values. Unlike the last cycle, this recent downturn was driven by a lack of liquidity and a tightening of credit markets rather than by an oversupply of newly developed real estate. We believe that underlying real estate fundamentals have remained strong, particularly in major metropolitan and downtown areas where supply constraints exist.

Europe

Given the significant deleveraging that is currently taking place across the European Union, we believe that Europe presents significant opportunities for both our KW Investments and KW Services segments. Before the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009, European banks were significant lenders in both the European and U.S. real estate markets. Now that these institutions are facing similar pressure on their balance sheets as U.S. financial institutions, we believe it is likely that they will seek to sell some of their real estate assets, which will lead to increased transaction flow and opportunities for acquisition and investment.

Table of Contents

Japan

Japan’s current demographic trends include an influx of migration to major cities, creating strong demand for housing. Our research shows that real estate fundamentals have remained strong in greater Tokyo’s residential market and, in particular, in Tokyo’s three major wards: Minato-ku, Shibuy-ku, and Setagaya-ku. With diminishing supply of new inventory due to stricter building regulations imposed in 2007, rents for quality assets are expected to remain strong while vacancy rates remain stable. We expect that properties in the greater Tokyo area that are newer and of higher quality will remain acquisition targets for many institutional investors.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we have a unique platform from which to execute our investment and services strategy. We believe the combination of a service business and an investment platform provides us with significant competitive advantages and allows us to generate superior risk adjusted returns. We use our service platform to facilitate the origination of investment opportunities, enhance the investment process and ensure the alignment of interest with our investors. Our competitive strengths include:

 

   

Experienced Senior Management Team with Strong Alignment of Interests. Our senior management team has over 125 years of combined real estate experience and has been working together on average for over 15 years. Specifically, our Chief Executive Officer, William McMorrow, has over 30 years of real estate experience, including 22 years at the company, as well as substantial experience as a credit officer for various banking institutions prior to the acquisition of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. in 1988. Additionally, Mary Ricks, our Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the commercial investment group has over 23 years of real estate investment and management experience, including 20 years at the company. Members of the executive committee have collectively acquired, developed and managed in excess of $15 billion of real estate investments in the United States and Japan through multiple economic cycles. Our management team, which owns approximately 37% of our outstanding shares, is fully aligned with all of our stakeholders. Furthermore, our Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team also typically contribute personal funds to investments.

 

   

Extensive Network of Deep Industry Relationships. We have an established network of long-standing relationships with financial institutions, developers, builders and government agencies that drives significant proprietary deal flow. We have developed these relationships over many years as a result of our long operating history, the significant experience of our senior management team and our local presence and reputation in nearly every major metropolitan market on the West Coast of the United States, as well as in Japan. Also, we recently established operations in Europe through the acquisition of BOI REIM and the establishment of KWE. We believe that our relationship with the Bank of Ireland and our local presence in Europe will facilitate further relationships and deal flow. Additionally, we have typically developed these relationships through our services platform, where we have conducted business with various divisions of our clients, providing us with significant insight and multiple points of contact. In particular, we have developed strong relationships with a network of financial institutions from which we have directly sourced approximately 80% of our acquisition activity since January 1, 2010.

 

   

Proven Track Record. Since 1999, we have successfully liquidated our interests in 95 investments generating a gross IRR of 42% and an equity multiple (excluding our promoted interest) of 1.64x. In addition, we have typically generated a higher return and equity multiple on our invested equity given the structure of our investments, which often entitles us to earn asset, property and/or acquisition fees, together with a promoted interest beyond our ownership percentage upon a sale of the investment.

 

   

Investment Discipline and Risk Protection. We maintain a strong culture of investment discipline and risk management. We have engaged in increased investment activity during real estate downturns, when

Table of Contents
 

we believe the best opportunities are available. For example, since January 1, 2010, we and our equity partners purchased or are under contract to purchase approximately $5.1 billion of real estate and loans secured by real estate resulting in an increase of our investment account from $212 million as of December 31, 2009 to approximately $664.4 million as of December 15, 2011. We also diversify our portfolio by generally investing in smaller transactions. Since January 1, 2010, the more than $4.5 billion of purchases by our equity partners and us were spread over 196 investments (including each individual loan purchased through loan pools), representing an average transaction size of approximately $23 million. Additionally, we implement a rigorous underwriting process on all of our investments that leverages the full capabilities of our combined services and investment platform. We undertake a thorough examination of property economics and ensure that we possess a critical understanding of market dynamics and risk management strategies in order to mitigate risk and enhance our chances for success.

 

   

Conservative Balance Sheet. We seek to maintain a conservative balance sheet with significant liquidity and limited near-term maturities. Our experience through multiple real estate cycles drives our strategy of maintaining a flexible balance sheet, which we believe provides us with a competitive advantage under adverse market conditions by allowing us to quickly capitalize on investment opportunities as they arise. As of September 30, 2011, we had a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.5%, net of cash, and a net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.2x. In addition, our equity investment account is substantial relative to our debt obligations. As of September 30, 2011, our equity investment account plus cash was $644.3 million while our total debt was $327.6 million.

Our Business Strategy

Our primary business objectives are to increase operating cash flows, maximize the value of our investments and provide best-in-class services to our clients. Specifically, we intend to pursue the following strategies to achieve these objectives:

 

   

Leverage the Full Capabilities of our Platform. The combination of a service business (including auctions) and an investment platform provides significant competitive advantages over other real estate buyers operating stand-alone service or investment-focused firms, which we believe allows us to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. The KW Services and KW Investments segments leverage their respective expertise to originate unique investment opportunities, implement a thorough underwriting process and risk mitigation procedures, and create value through intensive, hands-on management. Specifically, we consistently leverage our property management services business and other locally focused services businesses to gain discreet market information on potential investment opportunities. For example, in February 2010, we acquired a loan pool from a regional bank in an off-market transaction as a result of our long-standing relationship as the regional bank’s leasing and property manager for its entire branch banking network. Also, in 2010, we acquired a multifamily community in the San Francisco Bay area in an off-market transaction as a result of our ongoing role as the manager of the asset.

 

   

Maintain Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. We target undervalued investment opportunities where (i) real estate owners or lenders are seeking liquidity, (ii) assets are under-managed or under-leased or (iii) assets can be repositioned. We successfully executed this strategy during the recent downturn by positioning ourselves to be acquisitive when we believed real estate and real estate loans were most undervalued.

 

   

Cultivate and Maintain Relationships Throughout Client Organizations. Both our services and investments businesses maintain relationships at all levels of our clients’ organizations. We believe that these relationships provide us with additional insight into opportunities for investment and offer us access to proprietary deal flow. We have been able to access off-market proprietary deals through our long-standing relationships, many of which are with financial institutions. Since January 1, 2010, approximately 80% of our deals have been sourced directly from these relationships with financial institutions.

Table of Contents
   

Invest through Joint Ventures. We typically invest our capital through joint ventures, separate accounts and commingled funds where we are the general partner with ownership interests ranging from 5% to 50%. As discussed above, our equity partners include financial institutions, foundations, endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional investors. As a general partner we generally oversee the day-to-day operations of our investments and earn asset management and/or property management fees and often earn a promoted interest upon disposition of the investment. Additionally, we typically obtain mortgage debt on our properties with loan-to-cost ratios ranging from 50% to 65% that is generally non-recourse to us and our equity partners. For example, in 2010 we formed a new joint venture platform, which provides for a capital commitment from a joint venture partner in the amount of $250 million, together with our commitment of $28 million. The commitment from the partner includes a three-year investment period and we have the right to earn asset management, property management and acquisition fees, in addition to our pro rata share of cash flow from operations, sales proceeds and a promoted interest above a specified return threshold. As of September 30, 2011, the partner had contributed $218 million of capital into five joint ventures.

 

   

Apply Property Management Expertise to Improve Portfolio Operations. We consistently work to increase our portfolio’s operating efficiencies by applying our property management expertise, which we believe enhances the value of our properties and produces more compelling returns for us and our equity partners. Upon acquiring a property we typically assess the need for improvements and will invest between 5% and 50% of the property value, allowing for further asset appreciation. Additionally, our service capabilities provide us with significant insight into market conditions and trends, which allows us to evaluate and implement the optimal asset management strategy.

 

   

Maintain a Flexible Balance Sheet. We intend to maintain moderate leverage at all times given the cyclical nature of the real estate industry and our desire to be nimble and liquid during downturns. We believe such flexibility will allow us to capitalize on attractive investment opportunities. Although our debt-to-book equity increased to 0.93x at September 30, 2011 from 0.41x at December 31, 2010, we remain focused on prudently investing our cash to generate returns that will reduce that multiple.

See “Description of the Notes.” The term “exchange notes” refers to our 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and the related guarantees, as registered under the Securities Act, offered by this prospectus. The term “notes” refers, collectively, to the outstanding notes and the exchange notes.

The summary below describes the principal terms of the exchange offer. See also the section of this prospectus titled “The Exchange Offer,” which contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer.

 

General

In connection with the two private placements, we entered into two registration rights agreements with the purchasers in which we agreed, among other things, to deliver this prospectus to you and to obtain the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this prospectus is a part within 270 days after the date of original issuance of the outstanding notes. The terms of these Registration Rights Agreements were substantially similar. You are entitled to exchange in the exchange offer your outstanding notes for exchange notes, which are identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes except:

 

   

the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act;

 

   

the exchange notes are not entitled to any registration rights that are applicable to the outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement; and

 

   

the provisions of the registration rights agreements that provide for payment of additional amounts upon a registration default are no longer applicable.

 

The Exchange Offer

We are offering to exchange up to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and the related guarantees, which have been registered under the Securities Act, for any and all of our outstanding 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and the related guarantees.

 

  Outstanding notes may be exchanged only in denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, we will exchange the exchange notes for all outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will cause the exchange to be effected promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

 

Resale

Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the exchange notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for outstanding notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you (unless you are our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405

under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

 

   

you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

 

   

you have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

 

  If you are a broker-dealer and receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you must acknowledge that you will deliver this prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Expiration Date

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     ,                 , unless extended by us. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

 

Withdrawal

You may withdraw any tender of your outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will return to you any of your outstanding notes that are not accepted for any reason for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

 

Interest on the Exchange Notes and the Outstanding Notes

Each exchange note bears interest at the rate of 8.750% per annum from the original issuance date of the outstanding notes or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the notes. The interest on the notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. No interest will be paid on outstanding notes following their acceptance for exchange.

 

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may assert or waive. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

 

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes

If you wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, according to the instructions contained in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal. You must then mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, together with the outstanding notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent at the address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal.

 

 

If you hold outstanding notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and wish to participate in the exchange offer, you must comply with the procedures under DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program by which you will agree to be bound by the letter of

transmittal. By signing, or agreeing to be bound by, the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

 

   

you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes;

 

   

you are not our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

   

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes;

 

 

   

you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

 

   

if you are a broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for your own account in exchange for outstanding notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities, that you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of such exchange notes.

 

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners

If you are a beneficial owner of outstanding notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender those outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender those outstanding notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your outstanding notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date.

 

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your outstanding notes and your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents, or you cannot comply with the procedures under DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program for transfer of book-entry interests, prior to the expiration date, you must tender your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described under “The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

 

Effect on Holders of Outstanding Notes

As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of all validly tendered outstanding notes pursuant to the terms of, the exchange offer, we will have fulfilled a covenant under the registration rights agreements. Accordingly, there will be no increase in the interest rate on the outstanding notes under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreements. If you do not tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be entitled to all the rights and limitations applicable to the outstanding notes as set forth in the indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued, except we will not have any further obligation to you to

Table of Contents
 

provide for the exchange and registration of the outstanding notes and related guarantees under the applicable registration rights agreement. To the extent that outstanding notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for outstanding notes could be adversely affected.

 

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer

The exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for United States federal income tax purposes. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

 

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of exchange notes in the exchange offer. See “Use of Proceeds.”

 

Exchange Agent

The Exchange Notes

The summary below describes the principal terms of the exchange notes. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The “Description of the Notes” section of this prospectus contains more detailed descriptions of the terms and conditions of the outstanding notes and the exchange notes. The exchange notes will have terms identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional payments upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreements.

 

Issuer

Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.

 

Securities Offered

$250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 8.750 % Senior Notes due 2019 and the related guarantees.

 

Maturity

April 1, 2019

 

Interest Rate

The exchange notes bear interest at a rate of 8.750% per annum.

 

Interest Payment Dates

The interest on the exchange notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Interest accrues from the original issuance date of the outstanding notes or from the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the notes.

 

Guarantees

The exchange notes will be guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and, subject to certain exceptions, each material existing and future domestic subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. The guarantees by the guarantors of the notes will rank equal in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors and senior in right of payment to any of the guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

 

Ranking

The exchange notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will:

 

   

rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness;

 

   

rank equally in right of payment with all our future senior indebtedness;

 

   

be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt; and

 

   

be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us or one of our subsidiaries).

 

  As of September 30, 2011, we and our subsidiaries that are guarantors, had approximately $259.5 million of total senior indebtedness outstanding, of which:

 

   

$9.5 million consisted of secured non-recourse mortgage indebtedness;

 

   

$250 million consisted of the outstanding notes; and

 

 

12


Table of Contents
   

we had no indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, and would have $75 million of availability thereunder.

 

  As of September 30, 2011, we had $40 million of subordinated indebtedness consisting entirely of our junior subordinated debentures due 2037 (the “2037 debentures”).

 

  In addition, as of such date, we had $21.4 million aggregate principal amount of guarantees that we provided in connection with loans secured by assets held in various joint ventures which are recourse to us.

 

  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenues of our non-guarantor subsidiaries constituted approximately 18.8% of our consolidated revenues and the operating income of such non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $0.6 million. As of September 30, 2011, the total assets of such subsidiaries constituted approximately 9.2% of our consolidated total assets, and such subsidiaries had $28.7 million of secured non-recourse mortgage indebtedness, of which none is recourse to us.

 

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to April 1, 2015, we may redeem the exchange notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, as described under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

 

  At any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2015, we may redeem the exchange notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices specified under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption,” plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

  Until April 1, 2015, we can choose to redeem the exchange notes in an amount not to exceed in aggregate 35% of the original principal amount of the exchange notes together with any additional notes issued under the indenture with money we or Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. raise in certain equity offerings as described under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

 

Fundamental Change

Upon a fundamental change (as defined under “Description of the Notes”), we will be required to make an offer to purchase the exchange notes. The purchase price will equal 101% of the principal amount of the exchange notes on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may not have sufficient funds available at the time of any fundamental change to make any required debt repayment (including repurchases of the notes). See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a fundamental change offer.”

Table of Contents

 

(1) EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, our share of interest expense included in income from investments in joint ventures and loan pool participations, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from investments in joint ventures, loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt and income taxes. We do not adjust EBITDA for gains or losses on the extinguishment of mortgage debt as we are in the business of purchasing discounted notes secured by real estate and, in connection with these note purchases, we may resolve these loans through discounted payoffs with the borrowers. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Our presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. EBITDA is not calculated under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our overall profitability or liquidity. Our management believes EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations.

 

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted to exclude merger related expenses and stock based compensation expense. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze our business because it adjusts EBITDA for items we believe do not have an accurate reflection of the nature of our business going forward. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations.

 

(3) Investment Account is defined as investments in joint ventures plus real estate plus notes receivable plus loan pool participations less mortgage debt.

 

(4) These financial ratios are presented on a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 as if the incurrence of $250 million of indebtedness from the issuance of our 8.750% senior notes ($200 million of which we incurred on April 5, 2011 and $50 million of which we incurred on April 12, 2011) and the related use of proceeds to pay down other indebtedness had occurred on January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2010, respectively.

 

(5) Corporate interest expense is defined as total interest expense less our share of joint venture interest expense.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you should consider the risks described below and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In any such case, the market price of our exchange notes could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. In addition, we may not be able to make payments of interest and principal on the exchange notes.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, the transfer restrictions currently applicable to your outstanding notes will remain in force and the market price of your outstanding notes could decline.

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, then you will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions on the outstanding notes as set forth in the offering memoranda distributed in connection with the private offerings of the outstanding notes. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered, or exempt from registration, under the Securities Act (including pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as and when available) and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreements, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act. You should refer to “Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Offer” and “The Exchange Offer” for information on how to tender your outstanding notes.

The tender of outstanding notes under the exchange offer will reduce the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, which may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market prices of the outstanding notes due to reduction in liquidity. In addition, if you do not exchange your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will no longer be entitled to exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes registered under the Securities Act and you will no longer be entitled to have your outstanding notes registered for resale under the Securities Act.

Your ability to transfer the exchange notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the exchange notes.

We do not intend to apply for listing of the exchange notes on a securities exchange or market. The exchange notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. The initial purchasers in the private offering of the outstanding notes have advised us that they intend to make a market in the exchange notes as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, the initial purchasers are not obligated to make a market in any of the exchange notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. In addition, such market-making activity may be limited during the pendency of the exchange offer. Therefore, an active market for any of the exchange notes may not develop or, if developed, it may not continue. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the exchange notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.

Risks Relating to the Notes

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes.

As of September 30, 2011, we and our subsidiaries had $328.2 million of outstanding indebtedness, of which $38.2 million was secured non-recourse mortgage indebtedness, $250 million was senior indebtedness,

 

19


Table of Contents

consisting of the outstanding notes, and $40.0 million was subordinated in right of payment to the notes. In addition, as of such date, we had $21.4 million aggregate principal amount of guarantees that we provided in connection with loans secured by assets held in various joint ventures which are recourse to us. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences for you including:

 

   

it may limit our ability to borrow money or sell stock to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements;

 

   

it may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business;

 

   

we may be more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage;

 

   

it may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy;

 

   

the debt service requirements of our other indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to make payments on the notes;

 

   

a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations could be dedicated to the repayment of our indebtedness and would not be available for other purposes; and

 

   

there would be a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition if we were unable to service our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, as needed.

In addition, the indenture governing the notes, the indenture governing our 2037 debentures and our unsecured revolving credit facility contain financial and restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts.

Despite our substantial indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more debt. This could exacerbate the risks described above.

The terms of the indenture governing the notes and our unsecured revolving credit facility permit us and our subsidiaries to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $75.0 million available for additional borrowing under our unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to certain conditions.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a fundamental change offer.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), which includes a change of control event or a delisting of our common stock, we will be required to offer to repurchase all the notes. We cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds available for us to make any required repurchases of the notes upon a change of control. In addition, our unsecured revolving credit facility provides that the occurrence of a change of control constitutes a default. Our failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute a default under the indenture governing the notes,which, in turn, would constitute a default under the credit facility. See “Description of the Notes—Fundamental Change.”

In the event of a change of control or termination of trading of our common stock, our Series A and Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the stockholders thereof.

Under the indenture governing the notes, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture), which includes a change of control event or a delisting of our common stock, each noteholder will have the right to require us to purchase such noteholder’s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The occurrence of a fundamental change will also trigger a redemption right held by the holders of our series A and series B preferred stock under the applicable certificate of designation. Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, we may not make any

 

20


Table of Contents

restricted payment to redeem the series A and series B preferred stock, unless we have restricted payment capacity or we have previously made an offer to noteholders to purchase their notes. If the noteholders, however, fail for any reason to tender their notes under our offer to purchase them and our preferred stockholders accept our offer to purchase the series A and series B preferred stock, we will be required to use cash to fund the purchase of our series A and series B preferred stock. In the event this occurs, it may make it more difficult for us to make scheduled payments on the untendered notes. See “Description of the Notes—Fundamental Change.” In addition, we may not redeem the series A and series B preferred stock without the consent of the lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility. Our failure to purchase Series A and B preferred stock could give the holders thereof a legal claim against us.

A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.

Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a subsidiary guarantee can be voided, or claims under the subsidiary guarantee may be subordinated to all other debts of that subsidiary guarantor if, among other things, the subsidiary guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its subsidiary guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the subsidiary guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the subsidiary guarantee and:

 

   

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

 

   

was engaged in a business or transaction for which the subsidiary guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

 

   

intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

A subsidiary guarantee may also be voided, without regard to the above factors, if a court finds that the subsidiary guarantor entered into the subsidiary guarantee with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

A court would likely find that a subsidiary guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its subsidiary guarantee if the subsidiary guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes. If a court were to void a subsidiary guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the subsidiary guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from the subsidiary guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

 

   

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

 

   

the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute and mature; or

 

   

it could not pay its debts as they became due.

Each subsidiary guarantee will contain a provision intended to limit the subsidiary guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its subsidiary guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the subsidiary guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law.

Table of Contents

The notes will not be guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries.

The notes will not be guaranteed by a number of our subsidiaries. To the extent that any of our subsidiaries do not guarantee the notes, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations, including indebtedness, of such non-guarantor subsidiaries. The claims of creditors of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors, will have priority as to the assets of those subsidiaries. As a result, if we default on our obligations under the notes, you will not have any claims against any of our subsidiaries that do not provide guarantees of the notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenues of our non-guarantor subsidiaries constituted approximately 18.8% of our consolidated revenues, and the operating income of such non-guarantor subsidiaries was approximately $0.6 million. As of September 30, 2011, the total assets of such subsidiaries constituted approximately 9.2% of our consolidated total assets, and such subsidiaries had $28.7 million of secured non-recourse mortgage indebtedness, of which none is recourse to us.

We may not have access to the cash flow and other assets of our subsidiaries and our joint ventures that may be needed to make payment on the notes.

Although our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, our subsidiaries and joint ventures are not obligated to make funds available to us for payment on the notes. Accordingly, our ability to make payments on the notes is dependent on the earnings and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries and joint ventures. Furthermore, our subsidiaries will be permitted under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, our unsecured revolving credit facility and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to us. We cannot assure you that the agreements governing the future indebtedness of our subsidiaries will permit our subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans to fund scheduled interest and principal payments on these notes when due.

To service our indebtedness, including the notes, we will require a significant amount of cash. The ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that current capital spending projects will not require significant additional funds to complete or be successful, or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we consummate an acquisition, our debt service requirements could increase. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the notes on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our unsecured revolving credit facility and the notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market will be maintained for the notes.

The liquidity of the trading market in the notes and the market price quoted for the notes may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for high yield securities and by changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the financial performance or prospects of companies in our industry generally. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active trading market will be maintained for the notes. If an active market is not maintained, the market price of the notes may decline and the liquidity of the notes may be limited.

Ratings of the notes may affect the market price and marketability of the notes.

The notes are rated B1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and BB- Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. Such ratings are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. An explanation of the

 

22


Table of Contents

significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such credit ratings will be issued or remain in effect for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency’s judgment, circumstances so warrant. It is also possible that such ratings may be lowered in connection with future events, such as future acquisitions. Holders of notes will have no recourse against us or any other parties in the event of a change in or suspension or withdrawal of such ratings. Any lowering, suspension or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price or marketability of the notes.

Our debt agreements contain restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

The indenture governing the notes and our unsecured revolving credit facility contain various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur additional debt;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions;

 

   

redeem stock;

 

   

issue stock of subsidiaries;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates; and

 

   

merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

Additionally, the agreement governing our unsecured revolving credit facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the indenture governing the notes and the agreement governing our unsecured revolving credit facility. We may also be unable to take advantage of business opportunities that arise because of the limitations imposed on us by the restrictive covenants under our indebtedness.

Risks Relating to Our Business

The success of our business is significantly related to general economic conditions and the real estate industry and, accordingly, our business could be harmed by an economic slowdown and downturn in real estate asset values, property sales and leasing activities.

Our business is closely tied to general economic conditions in the real estate industry. As a result, our economic performance, the value of our real estate and real estate secured notes, and our ability to implement our business strategies may be affected by changes in national and local economic conditions. The condition of the real estate markets in which we operate tends to be cyclical and related to the condition of the economy in the U.S., Europe and Japan as a whole and to the perceptions of investors of the overall economic outlook. Rising interest rates, declining employment levels, declining demand for real estate, declining real estate values or periods of general economic slowdown or recession or the perception that any of these events may occur have negatively impacted the real estate market in the past and may in the future negatively affect our performance. In addition, the economic condition of each local market where we operate may be dependent on one or more industries. Our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions is limited. Certain significant expenditures, such as debt service costs, real estate taxes, and operating and maintenance costs are generally not reduced when market conditions are poor. These factors would impede us from responding quickly to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have experienced in past years, and expect in the future to be

 

23


Table of Contents

negatively impacted by, periods of economic slowdown or recession, and corresponding declines in the demand for real estate and related services, within the markets in which we operate. The previous recession and the downturn in the real estate market have resulted in and/or may result in:

 

   

a general decline in rents due to defaulting tenants or less favorable terms for renewed or new leases;

 

   

fewer purchases and sales of properties by clients, resulting in a decrease in property management fees and brokerage commissions;

 

   

a decline in actual and projected sale prices of our properties resulting in lower returns on the properties in which we have invested;

 

   

higher interest rates, higher loan costs, less desirable loan terms and a reduction in the availability of mortgage loans and mezzanine financing, all of which could increase costs and could limit our ability to acquire additional real estate assets; and

 

   

a decrease in the availability of lines of credit and other sources of capital used to purchase real estate investments and distressed notes.

If the economic and market conditions that prevailed in 2008 and 2009 were to return, our business performance and profitability could deteriorate. If this were to occur, we could fail to comply with certain financial covenants in our unsecured revolving loan agreement which would force us to seek an amendment with our lenders. No assurance can be given that we would be able to obtain any necessary waivers or amendments on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, in an extreme deterioration of our business, we could have insufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations when they come due in future years.

Adverse developments in the credit markets may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Disruptions in the credit markets may adversely affect our business of providing advisory services to owners, investors and occupiers of real estate in connection with the leasing, disposition and acquisition of property. If our clients are unable to procure credit on favorable terms, there may be fewer completed leasing transactions, dispositions and acquisitions of property. In addition, if purchasers of real estate are not able to procure favorable financing resulting in the lack of disposition opportunities for our funds and projects, our services businesses will generate lower incentive fees and we may also experience losses of co-invested equity capital if the disruption causes a permanent decline in the value of investments made.

In 2008 and 2009, the credit markets experienced a disruption of unprecedented magnitude. This disruption reduced the availability and significantly increased the cost of most sources of funding. In some cases, these sources were eliminated. While the credit market has shown signs of improving since the second half of 2009, liquidity remains constrained and it is impossible to predict when the market will return to normalcy. This uncertainty may lead market participants to continue to act more conservatively, which may amplify decreases in demand and pricing in the markets we serve.

We could lose part or all of our investment in the real estate assets we have interests in, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

There is the inherent possibility in all of our real estate investments that we could lose all or part of our investment. Real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to change our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions. Moreover, regarding our investment in real estate, we may not be able to unilaterally decide the timing of the disposition of an investment, and as a result, we may not control when and whether any gain will be realized or loss avoided. The value of our investments can also be diminished by:

 

   

civil unrest, acts of war and terrorism and acts of God, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses);

 

24


Table of Contents
   

the impact of present or future legislation in the U.S., Europe and Japan (including environmental regulation, changes in laws concerning foreign ownership of property, changes in real estate tax rates, changes in zoning laws and laws requiring upgrades for disabled persons) and the cost of compliance with these types of legislation; and

 

   

liabilities relating to claims to the extent insurance is not available or is inadequate.

The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan may adversely affect our business in Japan, which may negatively affect our operating results.

In March 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the Tohoku region in northern Honshu, Japan, which also triggered multiple tsunamis along the Pacific coast of Japan, North America and South America, causing thousands of casualties and injuries as well as severe damage to roads, buildings and infrastructure. Moreover, nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan melted down resulting in hydrogen explosions and radiation leakage.

As of September 30, 2011, we held ownership interests in 51 properties in Japan, and our Adjusted EBITDA in Japan accounted for approximately 22% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

We cannot assure you that we will not suffer from the long-term impact of the earthquake and the tsunami. The catastrophic loss of lives, businesses and infrastructure may have an indirect impact on us by affecting our employees, customers, and the overall economy in Japan, and may reduce the demand for our products and services. Japan historically has been vulnerable to natural disaster risks, including tsunamis and earthquakes. Further earthquakes, aftershocks therefrom or other disasters in Japan may cause a decline in our revenues. Any of the above events or developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unsuccessful in renovating the properties we acquire resulting in investment losses.

Part of our investment strategy is to locate and acquire real estate assets that we believe are undervalued and to improve them to increase their resale value. We face risks arising from the acquisition of properties not yet fully developed or in need of substantial renovation or redevelopment, particularly the risk that we overestimate the value of the property and the risk that the cost or time to complete the renovation or redevelopment will exceed the budgeted amount. Such delays or cost overruns may arise from:

 

   

shortages of materials or skilled labor;

 

   

a change in the scope of the original project;

 

   

the difficulty in obtaining necessary zoning, land-use, environmental, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorization;

 

   

the discovery of structural or other latent defects in the property once construction has commenced; and

 

   

delays in obtaining tenants.

Any failure to complete a redevelopment project in a timely manner and within budget or to sell or lease the project after completion could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operation and financial condition.

We may not recover all or any of our investment in the mezzanine loans we make or acquire due to a number of factors including the fact that such loans are subordinate to the interests of senior lenders.

We have made and expect to continue to make or acquire mezzanine loans, which are loans that are secured by real property, but are subject to the interests of lenders who are senior to us. These mezzanine loans are

 

25


Table of Contents

considered to involve a high degree of risk compared to other types of loans secured by real property. This is due to a variety of factors, including that a foreclosure by the holder of the senior loan could result in its mezzanine loan becoming uncollectible. Accordingly, we may not recover the full amount, or any, of our investment in mezzanine loans. In addition, mezzanine loans may have higher loan to value ratios than conventional term loans.

The expansion of our business into Europe may expose us to risks related to conducting our business in a new international market.

We may have difficulty managing our expansion into Europe where, in comparison with the U.S. and Japan, our knowledge and understanding of the local economies is not as robust, we have fewer business relationships and less familiarity with the local real estate, zoning and development regulations and other governmental procedures and regulations.

In addition, there are risks inherent in conducting business internationally, which include:

 

   

restrictions and problems relating to the repatriation of profits;

 

   

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;

 

   

the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws;

 

   

laws restricting foreign companies from conducting business and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

   

the impact of different business cycles and economic instability;

 

   

political instability and civil unrest;

 

   

greater difficulty in perfecting our security interests, collecting accounts receivable, foreclosing on security and protecting our interests as a creditor in bankruptcies in certain geographic regions;

 

   

potentially adverse tax consequences;

 

   

share ownership restrictions on foreign operations;

 

   

the tax and tariff regimes of the countries in which we do business; and

 

   

geographic, time zone, language and cultural differences between personnel in different areas of the world.

Our operations in Japan subject us to social, political and economic risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, which may materially adversely effect our business and results of operations.

One of our strategies for the future is to continue our operations in Japan. The scope of our international operations may lead to more volatile financial results and difficulties in managing our businesses. This volatility and difficulty could be caused by many of the same risks described above in the risk factor “The expansion of our business into Europe may expose us to risks related to conducting our business in a new international market.”

Our joint venture activities subject us to unique third-party risks, including risks that other participants may become bankrupt or take action contrary to our best interests.

We have utilized joint ventures for large commercial investments and real estate developments. We plan to continue to acquire interests in additional limited and general partnerships, joint ventures and other enterprises, collectively referred to herein as “joint ventures,” formed to own or develop real property or interests in real property or note pools. It is our strategy in Japan to invest primarily through joint ventures. We have acquired

 

26


Table of Contents

and may acquire minority interests in joint ventures and we may also acquire interests as a passive investor without rights to actively participate in management of the joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures involve additional risks, including the possibility that the other participants may become bankrupt or have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with ours, that we will not have the right or power to direct the management and policies of the joint ventures and that other participants may take action contrary to our instructions or requests and against our policies and objectives. Should a participant in a material joint venture act contrary to our interest, it could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we cannot be certain that we will continue these investments, or that we can identify suitable joint venture partners and form new joint ventures in the future.

We purchase distressed loans and loan portfolios that have a higher risk of default and delinquencies than newly originated loans and as a result, we may lose part or all of our investment in such loans and loan portfolios.

We may purchase loans and loan portfolios that are unsecured or secured by real or personal property. These loans and loan portfolios are generally non-performing or sub-performing, and often are in default at the time of purchase. In general, the distressed loans and loan portfolios we acquire are highly speculative investments and have a greater than normal risk of future defaults and delinquencies as compared to newly originated loans. Returns on loan investments depend on the borrower’s ability to make required payments or, in the event of default, our security interests, if any, and our ability to foreclose and liquidate whatever property that secure the loans and loan portfolios. We cannot be sure that we will be able to collect on a defaulted loan or foreclose on security successfully or in a timely fashion. There may also be instances when we are able to acquire title to an underlying property and sell it, but not make a profit on its investment.

We may not be successful in competing with companies in the real estate services and investment industry, some of which may have substantially greater resources than we do.

Real estate investment and services businesses are highly competitive. Our principal competitors include both large multinational companies and national and regional firms, such as Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. and CBRE Group, Inc. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and a broader global presence than we do. We compete with companies in the U.S., and to a limited extent, in Europe and Japan, with respect to:

 

   

selling commercial and residential properties on behalf of customers through brokerage and auction services;

 

   

leasing and property management, including construction and engineering services;

 

   

purchasing commercial and residential properties, as well as undeveloped land for our own account; and

 

   

acquiring secured and unsecured loans.

Our services operations must compete with a growing number of national firms seeking to expand market share. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete effectively, maintain current fee levels or arrangements, continue to purchase investment properties profitably or avoid increased competition.

If we are unable to maintain or develop new client relationships, our service business and financial condition could be substantially impaired.

We are highly dependent on long-term client relationships and on revenues received for services with third-party owners and related parties. A considerable amount of our revenues are derived from fees related to our service business. The majority of our property management agreements are cancelable prior to their expiration by the client for any reason on as little as 30 to 60 days’ notice. These contracts also may not be renewed when their respective terms expire. If we fail to maintain existing relationships, fail to develop and maintain new client relationships or otherwise lose a substantial number of management agreements, we could experience a material adverse change in our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

27


Table of Contents

Decreases in the performance of the properties we manage are likely to result in a decline in the amount of property management fees and leasing commissions we generate.

Our property management fees are generally structured as a percentage of the revenues generated by the properties that we manage. Similarly, our leasing commissions typically are based on the value of the lease commitments. As a result, our revenues are adversely affected by decreases in the performance of the properties we manage and declines in rental value. Property performance will depend upon, among other things, our ability to control operating expenses (some of which are beyond our control), and financial conditions generally and in the specific areas where properties are located and the condition of the real estate market generally. If the performance or rental values of the properties we manage decline, the management fees and leasing commissions we derive from such properties could be materially adversely affected.

Our leasing activities are contingent upon various factors, including tenant occupancy and rental rates, which if adversely affected, could cause our operating results to suffer.

A significant portion of our property management business involves facilitating the leasing of commercial space. In certain areas of operation, there may be inadequate commercial space to meet demand and there is a potential for a decline in the number of overall lease and brokerage transactions. In areas where the supply of commercial space exceeds demand, we may not be able to renew leases or obtain new tenants for our owned and managed rental properties as leases expire. Moreover, the terms of new leases and renewals (including renovation costs or costs of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current leases. Our revenues may be adversely affected by the failure to promptly find tenants for substantial amounts of vacant space, if rental rates on new or renewal leases are significantly lower than expected, or if reserves for costs of re-leasing prove inadequate. We cannot be sure that we can continue to lease properties for our clients and for our own account in a profitable manner.

Our ability to lease properties also depends on:

 

   

the attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

 

   

competition from other available space;

 

   

our ability to provide adequate maintenance and obtain insurance and to pay increased operating expenses which may not be passed through to tenants;

 

   

the availability of capital to periodically renovate, repair and maintain the properties, as well as for other operating expenses; and

 

   

the existence of potential tenants desiring to lease the properties.

If we are unable to identify, acquire and integrate suitable acquisition targets, our future growth will be impeded.

Acquisitions and expansion have been, and will continue to be, a significant component of our growth strategy for the future. While maintaining our existing business lines, we intend to continue to pursue a sustained growth strategy by increasing revenues from existing clients, expanding the breadth of our service offerings, seeking selective co-investment opportunities and pursuing strategic acquisitions. Our ability to manage our growth will require us to effectively integrate new acquisitions into our existing operations while managing development of principal properties. We expect that significant growth in several business lines occurring simultaneously will place substantial demands on our managerial, administrative, operational and financial resources. We cannot be sure that we will be able to successfully manage all factors necessary for a successful expansion of our business. Moreover, our strategy of growth depends on the existence of and our ability to identify attractive and synergistic acquisition targets. The unavailability of suitable acquisition targets, or our inability to find them, may result in a decline in business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is highly dependent upon the economy and real estate market in California, which have recently experienced a significant downturn and are vulnerable to future decline.

We have a high concentration of our business activities in California. Consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon general trends in California’s economy and real estate market. California’s economy has experienced a significant downturn in the recent recession and a sustained decline in the value of California real estate. Real estate market declines in California have become so severe that the market value of a number of properties securing loans has become significantly less than the outstanding balances of those loans. Real estate market declines may negatively affect our ability to sell property at a profit. In addition, California historically has been vulnerable to certain natural disaster risks, such as earthquakes, floods, wild fires and erosion-caused mudslides. The existence of adverse economic conditions or the occurrence of natural disasters in California could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We own real estate properties located in Hawaii, which subjects us to unique risks relating to, among other things, the current recession in Hawaii, Hawaii’s economic dependence on fluctuating tourism, the isolated location of Hawaii and the potential for natural disasters.

We conduct operations and own properties in Hawaii. Consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon and affected by general trends in Hawaii’s economy and real estate market. Hawaii’s economy has experienced a significant downturn in the current recession and a sustained decline in the value of Hawaiian real estate. Real estate market declines may negatively affect our ability to sell property at a profit. In addition, Hawaii’s economy is largely dependent upon tourism, which is subject to fluctuation and has recently experienced a significant drop. Hawaii historically has also been vulnerable to certain natural disaster risks, such as tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes, which could cause damage to properties owned by us or property values to decline in general. Hawaii’s remote and isolated location also may create additional operational costs and expenses, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

Our auction services business has historically been countercyclical and, as a result, our operating results may be adversely affected when general economic conditions are improving.

Our results of operations are dependent on the performance of our auction services group, which historically has been countercyclical. Our auction services group has recently experienced an increase in revenues due to, among other things, the substantial increase in the number of foreclosures stemming from the current economic crisis. Improvements in general economic conditions may cause auction service revenues to decrease, which could cause a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

If we fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable to us in our role as a real estate broker, property/facility manager or developer, we may incur significant financial penalties.

We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and non-U.S. laws and regulations specific to the services we perform in our business, as well as laws of broader applicability, such as tax, securities and employment laws. Brokerage of real estate sales and leasing transactions and the provision of property management and valuation services require us to maintain applicable licenses in each U.S. state and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions in which we perform these services. If we fail to maintain our licenses or conduct these activities without a license, or violate any of the regulations covering our licenses, we may be required to pay fines (including treble damages in certain states) or return commissions received or have our licenses suspended or revoked.

We have certain obligations in connection with our real estate brokerage services which could subject us to liability in the event litigation is initiated against us for an alleged breach of any such obligation.

As a licensed real estate broker, we and our licensed employees are subject to certain statutory due diligence, disclosure and standard-of-care obligations. Failure to fulfill these obligations could subject us or our

 

29


Table of Contents

employees to litigation from parties who purchased, sold or leased properties they brokered or managed. In addition, we may become subject to claims by participants in real estate sales claiming that we did not fulfill our statutory obligations as a broker.

We may become subject to claims for construction defects or other similar actions in connection with the performance of our property management services.

In our property management capacity, we hire and supervise third-party contractors to provide construction and engineering services for our properties. While our role is limited to that of a supervisor, we cannot be sure that we will not be subjected to claims for construction defects or other similar actions. Adverse outcomes of property management litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to potential environmental liability.

Under various foreign, federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cleanup of hazardous or toxic substances and may be liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by governmental entities or third parties in connection with the contamination. Such laws typically impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances, even when the contaminants were associated with previous owners or operators. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly remediate those substances, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent the affected property or to borrow using the property as collateral. The presence of contamination at a property can impair the value of the property even if the contamination is migrating onto the property from an adjoining property. Additionally, the owner of a site may be subject to claims by parties who have no relation to the property based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site.

In connection with the direct or indirect ownership, operation, management and development of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of those properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Therefore, we may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs.

Certain foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances also govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials during construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with asbestos-containing materials. We may be potentially liable for those costs for properties that we own. In the past, we have been required to remove asbestos from certain buildings that we own or manage. There can be no assurance that in the future we will not be required to remove asbestos from our buildings or incur other substantial costs of environmental remediation.

Before consummating the acquisition of a particular piece of real property, it is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct an environmental review of the real property, including performing a Phase I environmental review. These assessments have included, among other things, a visual inspection of the real properties and the surrounding area and a review of relevant federal, state and historical documents. It is possible that the assessments we commissioned do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are currently unaware. There can be no assurance that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of those properties, or by unrelated third parties. There can be no assurance that federal, state and

 

30


Table of Contents

local agencies or private plaintiffs will not bring any actions in the future, or that those actions, if adversely resolved, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may incur unanticipated expenses relating to laws benefiting disabled persons.

The Americans with Disabilities Act, or the ADA, generally requires that public accommodations such as hotels and office buildings be accessible to disabled people. If our properties are not in compliance with the ADA, the U.S. federal government could fine us or private litigants could sue us for money damages. If we are required to make substantial alterations to one or more of our properties, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may incur significant costs complying with laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and operations.

The properties in our portfolio and our operations are subject to various covenants and federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Such laws and regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic, asbestos-cleanup or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulations will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our failure to obtain required permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our property insurance coverages are limited and any uninsured losses could cause us to lose part or all of our investment in our insured properties.

We carry comprehensive general liability coverage and umbrella coverage on all of our properties with limits of liability which we deem adequate and appropriate under the circumstances (subject to deductibles) to insure against liability claims and provide for the cost of legal defense. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses that may be either uninsurable, or that are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against those losses. Should any uninsured loss occur, we could lose our investment in, and anticipated revenues from, a property, which loss or losses could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Currently, we also insure some of our properties for loss caused by earthquake in levels we deem appropriate and, where we believe necessary, for loss caused by flood. We cannot be sure that the occurrence of an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Company

If we are unable to raise additional debt and equity capital, our results of operations could suffer.

We depend upon third-party equity and debt financings to acquire properties through our investment business, which is a key driver of future growth. We estimate that in the next 12 to 18 months our acquisition plan will require between approximately $800 million and $1.3 billion in third-party equity and between approximately $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion in third-party debt. We expect to obtain debt financing from seller financing, the assumption of existing loans, government agencies and financial institutions. We expect to obtain equity financing from equity partners, which include pension funds, family offices, financial institutions, endowments and money managers. Our access to capital funding is uncertain. Our inability to raise additional capital on terms reasonably acceptable to us could jeopardize the future success of our business.

The loss of one or more key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our continued success is dependent to a significant degree upon the efforts of our senior executives, who have each been essential to our business. The departure of all or any of our executives for whatever reason or the inability of all or any of them to continue to serve in their present capacities or our inability to attract and retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our executives have built highly regarded reputations in the real estate industry. Our executives attract business opportunities and assist both in negotiations with lenders and potential joint venture partners and in the representation of large and institutional clients. If we lost their services, our relationships with lenders, joint ventures and clients would diminish significantly.

In addition, certain of our officers have strong regional reputations and they aid in attracting and identifying opportunities and negotiating for us and on behalf of our clients. In particular, we view the establishment and maintenance of strong relationships through certain officers as critical to our success in the Japanese market. As we continue to grow, our success will be largely dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of business. We cannot be sure that we will be able to continue to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel to support or keep pace with our planned growth.

The loss of our chief executive officer, or CEO, could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our continued success is dependent to a significant degree upon the efforts of our CEO, who is essential to our business. The departure of our CEO for whatever reason or the inability of our CEO to continue to serve in his present capacity could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our CEO has built a highly regarded reputation in the real estate industry. Our CEO attracts business opportunities and assists both in negotiations with lenders and potential joint venture partners and in the representation of large and institutional clients. If we lost his services, our relationships with lenders, joint ventures and clients would diminish significantly. Furthermore, the departure of our CEO for whatever reason or the inability of our CEO to continue to serve as our Chairman and CEO would be an event of default under our unsecured revolving loan agreement.

Our revenues and earnings may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations.

Our revenues from non-U.S. operations have been primarily denominated in the local currency where the associated revenues were earned. Thus, we may experience significant fluctuations in revenues and earnings because of corresponding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, our foreign currency exposure has been limited to the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the Pound Sterling. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we will be subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, there can be no assurance that we will not experience currency losses in the future, nor can we predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. Our management may decide to use currency hedging instruments from time to time including foreign currency forward contracts, purchased currency options (where applicable) and foreign currency borrowings. The economic risks associated with these hedging instruments include unexpected fluctuations in inflation rates, which could impact cash flow relative to paying down debt, and unexpected changes in our underlying net asset position. There can be no assurance that any hedging will be effective.

Our operating results are subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter as a result of the varied timing and magnitude of our strategic acquisitions and dispositions.

We have experienced a fluctuation in our financial performance from quarter to quarter due in part to the significance of revenues from the sales of real estate on overall performance. The timing of purchases and sales of our real estate investments has varied, and will continue to vary, widely from quarter to quarter due to

 

32


Table of Contents

variability in market opportunities, changes in interest rates, and the overall demand for residential and commercial real estate, among other things. While these factors have contributed to our increased operating income and earnings in the fourth quarter in past years, there can be no assurance that we will continue to perform well in the fourth quarter. In addition, the timing and magnitude of brokerage commissions paid to us may vary widely from quarter to quarter depending upon overall activity in the general real estate market and the nature of our brokerage assignments, among other things.

We have in the past incurred and may continue in the future to incur significant amounts of debt to finance acquisitions, which could negatively affect our cash flows and subject our properties or other assets to the risk of foreclosure.

We have historically financed new acquisitions and property purchases with cash derived from secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit. For instance, we typically purchase real property with loans secured by a mortgage on the property acquired. We anticipate the continuation of this trend. We do not have a policy limiting the amount of debt that we may incur. Accordingly, our management and board of directors have discretion to increase the amount of our outstanding debt at any time. We could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service costs that could adversely affect results of operations and increase the risk of default on debt. We may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase. If we are required to seek an amendment to our credit agreement, our debt service obligations may be substantially increased.

Some of our debt bears interest at variable rates. As a result, we are subject to fluctuating interest rates that may impact, adversely or otherwise, results of operations and cash flows. We may be subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including that cash flow will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest; that existing indebtedness on our properties will not be able to be refinanced or our leverage could increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions, placing us at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that are less leveraged; that our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the commercial real estate services industry; that our failure to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, results in foreclosure on substantially all of our assets; and that the terms of available new financing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are unable to satisfy the obligations owed to any lender with a lien on one of our properties, the lender could foreclose on the real property or other assets securing the loan and we would lose that property or asset. The loss of any property or asset to foreclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., rate our significant outstanding debt. These ratings and any downgrades thereof may impact our ability to borrow under any new agreements in the future, as well as the interest rates and other terms of any future borrowings, and could also cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. We cannot be certain that our earnings will be sufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations. If we do not have sufficient earnings, we may be required to seek to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell more securities, none of which we can guarantee that we will be able to do and which, if accomplished, may adversely impact our stock price.

Our debt obligations impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities and taking certain actions.

Our existing debt obligations impose, and future debt obligations may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to:

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

 

33


Table of Contents
   

repay indebtedness (including our senior notes due 2019 and our 2037 debentures) prior to stated maturities;

 

   

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions;

 

   

make acquisitions or investments;

 

   

create or incur liens;

 

   

transfer or sell certain assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies;

 

   

enter into certain transactions with affiliates;

 

   

sell stock in our subsidiaries;

 

   

restrict dividends, distributions or other payments from our subsidiaries; and

 

   

otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities.

In addition, our unsecured revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our 2037 debentures require us to maintain compliance with specified financial covenants, including maximum balance sheet leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these covenants. These covenants could adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs and pursue available business opportunities. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default in respect of the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing that indebtedness.

We have guaranteed a number of loans in connection with various equity partnerships which may result in us being obligated to make substantial payments.

We have provided guarantees associated with loans secured by assets held in various joint venture partnerships. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) we could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $21.4 million at September 30, 2011. The guarantees expire through 2015 and our performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the property. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

We have a number of equity partnerships that are subject to obligations under certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that may be triggered in the future.

Most of our real estate properties within our equity partnerships are encumbered by traditional non-recourse debt obligations. In connection with most of these loans, however, we entered into certain “nonrecourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for the loans to become partially or fully recourse against us if certain triggering events occur. Although these events are different for each guarantee, some of the common events include:

 

   

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy;

 

   

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity; and

 

   

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property.

In the event that any of these triggering events occur and the loans become partially or fully recourse against us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price could be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents

The deteriorating financial condition and/or results of operations of certain of our clients could adversely affect our business.

We could be adversely affected by the actions and deteriorating financial condition and results of operations of certain of our clients if that led to losses or defaults by one or more of them, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Any of our clients may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its results of operations and financial condition. As a result, a client may fail to make payments when due, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any client bankruptcy or insolvency, or the failure of any client to make payments when due, could result in material losses to our company. A client bankruptcy would delay or preclude full collection of amounts owed to us. Additionally, certain corporate services and property management client agreements require that we advance payroll and other vendor costs on behalf of clients. If such a client were to file bankruptcy or otherwise fail, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for those costs or for the severance obligations we would incur as a result of the loss of the client.

We may incur expenses associated with defending lawsuits filed by former holders of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.’s stock.

On November 13, 2009, our wholly owned subsidiary, KW Merger Sub Corp., merged with and into Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. Prior to the merger, a small percentage of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. outstanding common stock was owned by holders who were not known to our management. If one or more of these holders were to bring a claim alleging that members of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with approving the merger, we would incur costs defending and/or settling such claim.

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $36.2 million of federal and $41.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. We have not performed a detailed analysis to determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code has previously occurred or will occur as a result of this offering. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

General

We are offering to exchange a like principal amount of exchange notes for any or all outstanding notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and accompanying letter of transmittal. We refer to the offer as the “exchange offer.” You may tender some or all of your outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

As of the date of this prospectus, $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 is outstanding. This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is first being sent to all registered holders of outstanding notes known to us on or about             ,             . Our obligation to accept outstanding notes for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” below. We anticipate that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that no waivers will be necessary.

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

We issued $200 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes on April 5, 2011 (the “original issue date”) and an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount on April 12, 2011. In connection with the two separate private offerings and sales of the outstanding notes, we and the guarantors of the notes entered into two registration rights agreements, each with substantially the same terms, with the initial purchasers of the outstanding notes in which we agreed, under certain circumstances, to file a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the outstanding notes for exchange notes. The following description of the registration rights agreements is only a brief summary of the agreements. It does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the registration rights agreements. For further information, please refer to the registration rights agreements attached as exhibits to our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2011 and April 13, 2011 and listed in the exhibit index in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement relating to the exchange notes to be declared effective within 270 days after the original issue date and to cause the exchange offer to be consummated within 310 days after the original issue date. The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional payments upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Pursuant to the registration rights agreements and under the circumstances set forth below, we and the guarantors of the notes agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the outstanding notes within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement and to keep the shelf registration statement effective for up to two years after the effective date of the shelf registration statement. These circumstances include:

 

   

if we determine that this exchange offer is not permitted because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC;

 

   

if for any other reason the exchange offer is not consummated within 310 days after the original issue date;

 

   

any holder is prohibited by law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer and the holder requests that a shelf registration statement be filed;

 

   

any holder may not resell the exchange notes acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that this prospectus is not appropriate or available for such resales by such holder; or

Table of Contents
   

any holder is a broker-dealer and holds outstanding notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.

If we fail to comply with specified obligations under the registration rights agreements, we will be required to pay additional interest to holders of the outstanding notes. These obligations include:

 

   

the obligation to cause the exchange offer registration statement or a shelf registration statement, if required, to be filed within the applicable timeframes required by the registration rights agreements;

 

   

the obligation to cause the exchange offer registration statement or a shelf registration statement, if required, to be declared effective within the applicable timeframes required by the registration rights agreements;

 

   

the obligation to consummate the exchange offer within 40 days after the SEC declares the registration statement effective; and

 

   

the obligation to keep the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement, as the case may be, effective and usable during the periods specified in the registration rights agreements.

If you wish to exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following written representations:

 

   

you will acquire the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business;

 

   

at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer, you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act;

 

   

you are not our “affiliate” or an “affiliate” of any guarantor of the notes, as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if you are an “affiliate,” you will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable; and

 

   

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where the broker-dealer acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Resale of Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations by the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer exchange notes issued in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

 

   

you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business;

 

   

you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes;

 

   

you are not our “affiliate” or an “affiliate” of any guarantor of the notes as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and

 

   

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

 

41


Table of Contents

If you are our “affiliate,” or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business, then:

 

   

you cannot rely on the position of the SEC set forth in Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling, dated July 2, 1993, or similar no-action letters; and

 

   

in the absence of an exception from the position stated immediately above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, or for the resale or other transfer of exchange notes only as specifically set forth in this prospectus. With regard to broker-dealers, only broker-dealers that acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of exchange notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letters of transmittal, we will accept for exchange in the exchange offer any outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date. Outstanding notes may only be tendered in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. We will issue $2,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 of exchange notes in exchange for a corresponding principal amount of outstanding notes surrendered in the exchange offer. In exchange for each outstanding note surrendered in the exchange offer, we will issue exchange notes with a like principal amount.

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional payments upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The exchange notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the indenture that authorized the issuance of the outstanding notes. For a description of the indenture, see “Description of the Notes.”

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.

As of the date of this prospectus, $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 is outstanding. This prospectus and the letters of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of outstanding notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of outstanding notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreements, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Outstanding notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits that such holders have under the indenture relating to such holders’ series of outstanding notes and the applicable registration rights agreement, except we will not have any further obligations to provide for the registration of the outstanding notes under the applicable registration rights agreement.

 

42


Table of Contents

We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered outstanding notes when we have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us and delivering exchange notes to holders. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreements, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept outstanding notes for exchange upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

If you tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.

Expiration Date; Extensions, Amendments

As used in this prospectus, the term “expiration date” means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     ,                 . However, if we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term “expiration date” will mean the latest time and date to which we shall have extended the expiration of such exchange offer.

To extend the period of time during which an exchange offer is open, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by written notice, followed by notification by press release or other public announcement to the registered holders of the outstanding notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

 

   

to delay accepting for exchange any outstanding notes (only in the case that we amend or extend the exchange offer);

 

   

to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied by giving written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and

 

   

subject to the terms of the registration rights agreements, to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the offer period, if necessary, so that at least five business days remain in such offer period following notice of the material change.

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by written notice to the registered holders of the outstanding notes. If we amend an exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose the amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of applicable outstanding notes of that amendment.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any outstanding notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus prior to the expiration date if in our reasonable judgment:

 

   

the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder violates any applicable law or interpretation of the SEC; or

 

   

any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in writing in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that, in our judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.

 

43


Table of Contents

In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the outstanding notes of any holder that has not made to us:

 

   

the representations described under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer” and “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” and “Plan of Distribution;” and

 

   

any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations, or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the exchange notes under the Securities Act.

We expressly reserve the right at any time or at various times to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any outstanding notes by giving oral or written notice of such extension to their holders. We will return any outstanding notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any outstanding notes not previously accepted for exchange upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. We will give oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the outstanding notes as promptly as practicable. In the case of any extension, such notice will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times prior to the expiration date in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration date.

In addition, we will not accept for exchange any outstanding notes tendered, and will not issue exchange notes in exchange for any such outstanding notes, if at such time any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes

To tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you must comply with either of the following:

 

   

complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, have the signature(s) on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date; or

 

   

comply with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described below.

 

   

In addition, you will comply with either of the following conditions:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive certificates for outstanding notes along with the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date;

 

   

the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent’s message prior to the expiration date; or

 

   

you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Your tender, if not withdrawn prior to the expiration date, constitutes an agreement between us and you upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

 

44


Table of Contents

The method of delivery of outstanding notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. We recommend that instead of delivery by mail, you use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You should not send letters of transmittal or certificates representing outstanding notes to us. You may request that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee effect the above transactions for you.

If you are a beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are held in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and you wish to tender your outstanding notes, you should promptly instruct the registered holder to tender outstanding notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender the outstanding notes yourself, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your outstanding notes, either:

 

   

make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name; or

 

   

obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of outstanding notes.

The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date.

Signatures on the letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d)-15 under the Exchange Act unless the outstanding notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

 

   

by a registered holder of the outstanding notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Registration Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

for the account of an eligible guarantor institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed on the outstanding notes, such outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the outstanding notes and an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

If the letter of transmittal or any certificates representing outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should also indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.

Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program to tender. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an

agent’s message to the exchange agent. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that:

 

   

DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that is tendering outstanding notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation;

 

45


Table of Contents
   

the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, or in the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery; and

 

   

we may enforce that agreement against such participant.

DTC is referred to herein as a “book-entry transfer facility.”

Acceptance of Exchange Notes

In all cases, we will promptly issue exchange notes for outstanding notes that we have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

 

   

outstanding notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility; and

 

   

a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent’s message.

By tendering outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will represent to us that, among other things:

 

   

you are not our “affiliate” or an “affiliate” of any guarantor of the notes within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

   

you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; and

 

   

you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business.

In addition, each broker-dealer that is to receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes must represent that such outstanding notes were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letters of transmittal and the instructions to the letters of transmittal, and our resolution of all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of outstanding notes tendered for exchange will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any particular outstanding notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular outstanding notes if the acceptance might, in our or our counsel’s judgment, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular outstanding notes prior to the expiration date.

Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes for exchange must be cured within such reasonable period of time as we determine. Neither we, the exchange agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of outstanding notes for exchange, nor will we or any of them incur any liability for any failure to give notification. Any outstanding notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedures

Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC and, as the book-entry transfer facility, for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the outstanding notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the facility in accordance with the facility’s procedures for such transfer. To be timely, book-entry delivery of outstanding notes requires receipt of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, a “book-entry confirmation,” prior to the expiration date. In addition, although delivery of outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, the letter of transmittal or a manually signed facsimile thereof, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an “agent’s message,” as defined below, in connection with a book-entry transfer, must, in any case, be delivered or transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date to receive exchange notes for tendered outstanding notes, or the guaranteed delivery procedure described below must be complied with. Tender will not be deemed made until such documents are received by the exchange agent. Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Holders of outstanding notes who are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility or all other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date must tender their outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your outstanding notes, but your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or comply with the procedures under DTC’s Automatic Tender Offer Program in the case of outstanding notes, prior to the expiration date, you may still tender if:

 

   

the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution;

 

   

prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible guarantor institution either a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail, or hand delivery or a properly transmitted agent’s message and notice of guaranteed delivery, that (1) sets forth your name and address, the certificate number(s) of such outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered; (2) states that the tender is being made thereby; and (3) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the outstanding notes or a book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent; and

 

   

the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as certificate(s) representing all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation of transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Withdrawal Rights

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of outstanding notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive a written notice, which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile or letter, of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent;” or

 

   

you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program system.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

 

   

specify the name of the person who tendered the outstanding notes to be withdrawn;

 

   

identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of the outstanding notes; and

 

   

where certificates for outstanding notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such outstanding notes were registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

If certificates for outstanding notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit:

 

   

the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and

 

   

a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution unless you are an eligible guarantor institution.

If outstanding notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn outstanding notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, and eligibility, including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any outstanding notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder, without cost to the holder, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, the outstanding notes will be credited to an account at the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

Exchange Agent

Wilmington Trust, National Association has been appointed as the exchange agent for the exchange offer. Wilmington Trust, National Association, (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB) also acts as trustee under the indenture governing the notes.

Fees and Expenses

The registration rights agreements provide that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the exchange notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of outstanding notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.

We have not retained any dealer manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person for soliciting tenders of outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the exchange notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of the exchange offer. We will capitalize the expenses of the exchange offer and amortize them over the life of the notes.

Transfer Taxes

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchanges of outstanding notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:

 

   

certificates representing outstanding notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of outstanding notes tendered;

 

   

tendered outstanding notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding notes under the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed to that tendering holder.

Holders who tender their outstanding notes for exchange will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. However, holders who instruct us to register exchange notes in the name of, or request that outstanding notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be required to pay any applicable transfer tax.

Table of Contents

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes under the exchange offer, your outstanding notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of such outstanding notes:

 

 

   

as set forth in the legend printed on the outstanding notes as a consequence of the issuance of the outstanding notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and

 

   

as otherwise set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes.

In general, you may not offer or sell your outstanding notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

Other

Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to participate. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

We may in the future seek to acquire untendered outstanding notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any outstanding notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered outstanding notes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The outstanding notes were issued in two separate private placements. $200 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes were issued on April 5, 2011 (the “Original Issue Date”) and $50 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes were issued on April 12, 2011. The outstanding notes were issued, and the exchange notes will be issued, under the Indenture (the “Indenture”) among Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Issuer”), the Guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB), as trustee (the “Trustee”). We refer to the outstanding notes and the exchange notes, collectively, as the “Notes” in this section. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for all of the terms of the Notes.

The following description of the Notes summarizes the material provisions of the Indenture. It is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture. We urge you to read the Indenture because that agreement, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the Notes. A copy of the Indenture is attached as an exhibit to Kennedy-Wilson Holding, Inc.’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2011. You may request a copy of the Indenture at our address shown under the heading “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

The definitions of certain terms used in the following summary are set forth below under “—Certain Definitions.” For purposes of this summary, references to “the Issuer,” “we,” “our” and “us” and other similar references are to Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

Brief Description of the Notes

These Notes:

 

   

are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer;

 

   

are senior in right of payment to all existing and any future Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer; and

 

   

are guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”) and each Subsidiary Guarantor on a senior basis.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuer issued the Notes initially with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250 million. The Notes are issued in denominations of $2,000 and any greater integral multiple of $1,000. The Notes will mature on April 1, 2019. Subject to our compliance with the covenant described under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness,” we are permitted to issue more notes under the Indenture in an unlimited aggregate principal amount (the “Additional Notes”), provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for United States federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The Notes offered and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single series of Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Holders of the Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will vote as one class under the Indenture. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of the Notes,” references to the Notes include any Additional Notes actually issued.

Interest on these Notes accrues at the rate of 8.750% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2011. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record of these Notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15.

Interest on these Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Additional interest may accrue on the Notes in certain circumstances pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements.

Optional Redemption

Except as set forth below, we will not be entitled to redeem the Notes at our option.

On and after April 1, 2015, we will be entitled at our option to redeem all or a portion of these Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 1 of the years set forth below:

     100.000

In addition, before April 1, 2014, we will be entitled at our option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount ) of 108.750%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that if the Equity Offering is an offering by Parent, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Notes is contributed to the equity capital of the Issuer); provided that

 

  (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or its Affiliates); and

 

  (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.

Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice, may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the completion of the related Equity Offering.

Prior to April 1, 2015, we will be entitled, at our option, to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Notice of such redemption must be mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.

Applicable Premium” means with respect to a Note at any redemption date, as provided by the Issuer, the greater of (1) 1.00% of the principal amount of such Note and (2) the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (i) the redemption price of such Note on April 1, 2015 (such redemption price being described in the second paragraph in this “—Optional Redemption” section exclusive of any accrued and unpaid interest) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through April 1, 2015 (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (B) the principal amount of such Note on such redemption date.

Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date and as provided by the Issuer, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most

 

52


Table of Contents

recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after April 1, 2015, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day immediately preceding the date that the applicable redemption notice is first mailed, in each case, plus 0.50%.

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes from the redemption date to April 1, 2015, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to April 1, 2015.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, if clause (2) of the Adjusted Treasury Rate definition is applicable, the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the Issuer, Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date.

Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and its successors and assigns and Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated and its successors and assigns.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Issuer, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Issuer by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding date that the applicable redemption notice is first mailed.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

If we are redeeming less than all the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

We will redeem Notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part. We will cause notices of redemption to be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. We will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

No Sinking Fund; Open Market Purchases

We are not required to make any sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, we may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under the captions “—Fundamental

Table of Contents

Change” and “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.” We may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Guaranties

Parent and each Subsidiary Guarantor of the Issuer jointly and severally guarantee, on a senior unsecured basis, our obligations under the Indenture and the Notes. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guaranty are designed to be limited as necessary to prevent such Subsidiary Guaranty from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and, therefore, is expressly limited to the maximum amount that such Subsidiary Guaranty could guarantee without such Subsidiary Guaranty constituting a fraudulent conveyance. This limitation, however, may not be effective to prevent such Subsidiary Guaranty from constituting a fraudulent conveyance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the Notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.”

If a Subsidiary Guaranty were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability on its Subsidiary Guaranty could be reduced to zero. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the Notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.”

The Subsidiary Guaranty of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:

 

  (1) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

  (2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

  (3) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Indenture;

 

  (4) upon the defeasance of the Notes, as provided under “—Defeasance;” or

 

  (5) as described under “—Amendments and Waivers,”

in the case of clause (1) or (2), other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and as permitted by the Indenture.

Not all of our Subsidiaries guarantee the Notes. Also, the joint venture and fund entities in which we have investments and their respective Subsidiaries (which are not Subsidiaries of the Issuer as of the date of the Indenture) are not guarantors and are not subject to any of the obligations and covenants described hereunder. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us. As of September 30, 2011, revenues of our non-guarantor Subsidiaries constituted approximately 18.8% of our consolidated revenues and the operating income of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries was approximately $0.6 million. As of September 30, 2011, the total assets of such non-guarantor Subsidiaries constituted approximately 9.2% of our consolidated total assets and such Subsidiaries had $28.7 million of secured non-recourse mortgage indebtedness, of which none is recourse to us.

Ranking

The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the Guaranties is senior unsecured obligations and ranks pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be.

 

54


Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2011:

 

  (a) the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ Senior Indebtedness was approximately $260 million, of which:

 

  (1) $9.5 million was secured Non-Recourse Indebtedness under mortgage loans;

 

  (2) $250.0 million was unsecured Senior Indebtedness, consisting of the Notes; and

 

  (3) the Issuer had no Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and had $75.0 million of availability thereunder; and

(b) the Issuer’s subordinated Indebtedness was $40.0 million, consisting entirely of its Subordinated Debentures.

In addition, as of such date, the Issuer had $21.4 million aggregate principal amount of Guarantees that it provided in connection with loans secured by assets held in various joint ventures and that are recourse to it.

The Notes and the Guaranties are unsecured obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be. Secured debt and other secured obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors will be effectively senior to the Notes and the Guaranties to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt or other obligations. In addition, all Indebtedness and trade payables of non-guarantor Subsidiaries will be effectively senior to the Notes and the Guaranties. As of September 30, 2011, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries had $28.7 million of secured Non-Recourse Indebtedness under mortgage loans.

Although the Indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial and, subject to the limitations set forth in the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants— Limitation on Liens,” such Indebtedness may be secured Indebtedness. See “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness” and “—Limitation on Liens.”

Fundamental Change

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, each noteholder shall have the right to require that the Issuer purchase such noteholder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following any Fundamental Change, unless we have exercised our option to redeem all the Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption,” we will mail a notice to each noteholder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Fundamental Change Offer”) stating:

 

  (1) that a Fundamental Change has occurred and that such noteholder has the right to require us to purchase such noteholder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of noteholders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

 

  (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Fundamental Change (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Fundamental Change);

 

  (3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

 

55


Table of Contents
  (4) the instructions, as determined by us, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a noteholder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

We will not be required to make a Fundamental Change Offer following a Fundamental Change if a third party makes the Fundamental Change Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Fundamental Change Offer made by us and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Fundamental Change Offer or if we have exercised our option to redeem all the Notes pursuant to the provisions described under “—Optional Redemption.”

We will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes as a result of a Fundamental Change. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue of our compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

The Fundamental Change purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of the Issuer and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Fundamental Change purchase feature is a result of negotiations between the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control and we don’t foresee the occurrence of a Termination of Trading, although it is possible that, in the future, we could decide to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading occurs. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture or result in a Termination of Trading, but that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to Incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness,” and “—Limitation on Liens.” Such restrictions can only be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenant, however, the Indenture will not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford holders of the Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

Holders may not be entitled to require us to purchase their Notes in certain circumstances involving a significant change in the composition of our Board of Directors, including in connection with a proxy contest where our Board of Directors does not approve a dissident slate of directors but approves them as continuing directors, even if our Board of Directors initially opposed the directors.

The Credit Agreement provides that the occurrence of certain change of control events with respect to the Issuer would constitute a default thereunder. Future indebtedness that we may incur may contain prohibitions on the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a Fundamental Change or require the purchase of such indebtedness upon a Fundamental Change. Moreover, the exercise by the holders of their right to require us to purchase the Notes could cause a default under such indebtedness, even if the Fundamental Change itself does not, due to the financial effect of such purchase on us. Our ability to pay cash to the holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Fundamental Change may be limited by our then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required purchases. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a fundamental change offer.”

The occurrence of a Fundamental Change will also trigger a redemption right held by the holders of Parent’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock under their respective certificates of designation. Pursuant to paragraph (a) and clause (11) of paragraph (b) under the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—

 

56


Table of Contents

Restricted Payments”, we may not make any Restricted Payment to redeem or repurchase Parent’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, unless we have sufficient restricted payment capacity or we have previously made an offer to noteholders to repurchase the Notes. If the noteholders, however, reject our Fundamental Change Offer or fail for any reason to tender their Notes, and the stockholders of Parent’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock accept Parent’s offer to repurchase such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, we may have to pay dividends or make other payments to Parent so that it can use cash to fund the repurchase or redemption of its Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. In the event this occurs, it may be it more difficult for us to make scheduled payments on the untendered Notes. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—In the event of a change of control or termination of trading of our common stock, our Series A and Series B preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the stockholders thereof.”

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Fundamental Change Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of such Fundamental Change Offer.

The phrase “all or substantially all,” as used with respect to the assets of the Issuer in the definition of “Change of Control,” is subject to interpretation under applicable state law, and its applicability in a given instance would depend upon the facts and circumstances. As a result, there may be a degree of uncertainty in ascertaining whether a sale or transfer of “all or substantially all” the assets of the Issuer has occurred in a particular instance, in which case a holder’s ability to obtain the benefit of these provisions could be unclear.

The provisions under the Indenture relative to our obligation to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Fundamental Change may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

For purposes of this discussion of a repurchase of the Notes following a Fundamental Change “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

  (1) any “person” or “group” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 35% (or, in the case of any Permitted Holder, 50%) of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Parent;

 

  (2) individuals who on the Original Issue Date constituted the Board of Directors (together with any new directors whose election by such Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Parent was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors of the Parent then still in office who were either directors on the Original Issue Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Parent then in office;

 

  (3) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Parent;

 

  (4) the merger or consolidation of the Parent with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into the Parent, or the sale of all or substantially all the consolidated assets of Parent (but in any event, upon the sale of more than 35% of the consolidated assets of the Parent), to another Person, other than a transaction following which (A) in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Parent immediately prior to such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and (B) in the case of a sale of assets transaction, the transferee Person becomes the obligor in respect of the Notes and a Subsidiary of the transferor of such assets; or

 

  (5) the Parent ceases to own, directly, 100% of the Capital Stock of the Issuer.

Table of Contents

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining beneficial ownership under clause (1) above, no Permitted Holder shall be deemed to be a “person” or “group” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) with Fairfax.

Fundamental Change” shall mean the occurrence of a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading.

Termination of Trading” shall mean the termination (but not the temporary suspension) of trading of the Common Stock of Parent, which will be deemed to have occurred if the Common Stock or other securities into which the Parent’s Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are convertible are not, or are not permitted to be, listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or any other U.S. national securities exchange.

Certain Covenants

The Indenture contains, among others, the following covenants:

Limitation on Indebtedness

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to Incur Indebtedness (including revolving credit Indebtedness) if, on the date of such Incurrence and after giving effect thereto, no Default has occurred and is continuing and the Maximum Balance Sheet Leverage Ratio is no greater than 1.5 to 1.0.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (a), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to Incur any or all of the following Indebtedness:

 

  (1) Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer pursuant to any Credit Facility (including the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that, immediately after giving effect to any such Incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (1) and then outstanding does not exceed $100.0 million;

 

  (2) Indebtedness owed to and held by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor thereon and (B) if the Issuer is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes;

 

  (3) the Notes and the Exchange Notes (other than any Additional Notes);

 

  (4) Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries outstanding on the Original Issue Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this covenant);

 

  (5) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by the Issuer (other than Indebtedness Incurred in connection with, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Subsidiary became a Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer); provided, however, at the time of such acquisition and after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (5) and then outstanding does not exceed $15.0 million;

 

58


Table of Contents
  (6) Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) or pursuant to clause (3), (4), (5), or this clause (6); provided, however, that to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness directly or indirectly Refinances Indebtedness of a Subsidiary Incurred pursuant to clause (5), such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be Incurred only by such Subsidiary;

 

  (7) Hedging Obligations of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary entered into in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of speculation;

 

  (8) obligations in respect of letters of credit, performance, bid and surety bonds, completion guarantees, budget guarantees, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar requirements provided by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

 

  (9) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of its Incurrence;

 

  (10) Indebtedness with respect to workers’ compensation claims in the ordinary course of business;

 

  (11) any Guarantee (including the Subsidiary Guaranties) by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of the Indenture;

 

  (12) Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for indemnification, deposits, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote or footnotes to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (A)) and (B) in the case of a disposition, the maximum liability in respect of such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the fair market value of such noncash proceeds being determined at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such disposition;

 

  (13) Non-Recourse Indebtedness, Permitted Non-Recourse Carve-Out Guarantees and Permitted Co-investments;

 

  (14) Indebtedness constituting Subordinated Obligations, the net cash proceeds of which are used to purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value the Subordinated Debentures and with a Stated Maturity that is no earlier than 180 days after the Stated Maturity of the Notes; and

 

  (15) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (together with any refinancing thereof) in an aggregate principal amount which, when taken together with all other Indebtedness of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the date of such Incurrence (other than Indebtedness permitted by clauses (1) through (14) above or paragraph (a)), does not exceed $25.0 million.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing (except to the extent provided in the foregoing clause (14)), none of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (b) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations.

Table of Contents

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant: (1) any Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Original Issue Date will be treated as having been incurred on the Original Issue Date under clause (1) of paragraph (b) above; (2) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness at the time of Incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in one of the above clauses in any manner that complies with the covenant; and (3) the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement will be deemed to have been incurred under clause (1) of paragraph (b) above and the Issuer shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness. Indebtedness permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness, but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness shall be counted only once and any obligations arising under any Guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall not be double counted.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness Refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (2) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess will be determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to make a Restricted Payment if at the time the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

 

  (1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

 

  (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (including as to the value of all noncash consideration), as determined in good faith by members of the Issuer’s senior management, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

 

  (2) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents, Temporary Cash Investments or Replacement Assets or a combination of cash and cash equivalents, Temporary Cash Investments, and Replacement Assets; provided, however, that with respect to the sale of one or more real estate properties, up to 75% of the consideration may consist of Indebtedness of the purchase of such real estate properties so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a first or second priority Lien on the real estate property or properties sold;

 

  (3) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Issuer (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)

 

  (A) first, to the extent the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock) of any other Wholly Owned Subsidiary (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash;

 

  (B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A), to the extent the Issuer elects, to make a capital expenditure or to acquire Replacement Assets within one year from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash; and

 

  (C) third, to the extent of the Excess Proceeds (as defined below), to make an offer to the holders of the Notes (and to holders of other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer designated by the Issuer) to purchase Notes (and such other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in the Indenture;

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A) or (C) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; provided further, however, the Issuer will be deemed to have complied with clause (B) above if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the later of the Asset Disposition or the receipt of Net Available Cash, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to make a capital expenditure or to acquire Replacement Assets, and that such capital expenditure or acquisition is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365 day period.

The Net Available Cash of an Asset Disposition not applied pursuant to clauses (3)(A) and (B) above constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Excess Proceeds of less than $5.0 million will be carried forward and accumulated. When accumulated Excess Proceeds equal or exceed such amount, the Issuer must, within 30 days, make an offer to purchase the Notes, in accordance with clause (3)(C) above. Pending application of Net Available Cash pursuant to this covenant, such Net Available Cash shall be invested in Temporary Cash Investments or applied to temporarily reduce revolving credit indebtedness.

Table of Contents

For the purposes of this covenant, the following are deemed to be cash or cash equivalents:

 

  (1) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; and

 

  (2) securities received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of receipt.

(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) pursuant to clause (a)(3)(C) above, the Issuer will purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Issuer for the Notes (and such other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), without premium, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, (or, in respect of such other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the Indenture. If the aggregate purchase price of the securities tendered exceeds the Net Available Cash allotted to their purchase, the Issuer will select the securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which in the case of the Notes will be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or multiples of $1,000 greater thereof. The Issuer shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) pursuant to this covenant if the Excess Proceeds are less than $5.0 million (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition).

(c) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this clause by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

Limitation on Affiliate Transactions

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless:

 

  (1) the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate;

 

  (2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $10.0 million, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Issuer disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and

 

  (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $20.0 million, the Board of Directors shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate.

  (6) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or Parent;

  (3) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, the Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Indebtedness;” and

or any separate account or investment program managed, operated or sponsored by an Investment Subsidiary, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such domestic Restricted Subsidiary will Guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Indenture.

SEC Reports

Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will file with the SEC and make available to the Trustee and noteholders within 15 days after it files them with the SEC such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such information, documents and other reports to be so filed with the SEC at the times specified for the filings of such information, documents and reports under such Sections; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Issuer will make available such information to the Trustee and noteholders within 15 days after the time the Issuer would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided further, however, that (a) so long as Parent is the Guarantor of the Notes, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and provided as described hereunder may, at the Issuer’s option, be filed by and be those of Parent rather than the Issuer and (b) in the event that Parent conducts any business or holds any significant assets other than the capital stock of the Issuer at the time of filing and providing any such report, information or other document containing financial statements of Parent, Parent shall include in such report, information or other document summarized financial information (as defined in Rule 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC) with respect to the Issuer.

In addition, the Issuer will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon the requests of such holders, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.

Defaults

Each of the following is an Event of Default:

 

  (1) a default in the payment of interest on the Notes when due, continued for 30 days;

 

  (2) a default in the payment of principal of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

 

  (3) the failure by the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its obligations under “—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation;”

 

  (4) the failure by the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, to comply for 60 days after receipt of written notice with any of its agreements contained in the Indenture, including its obligations in the covenants described above under “Fundamental Change” (other than a failure to purchase Notes) or under “—Certain Covenants” under “—Limitation on Indebtedness,” “—Limitation on Restricted Payments,”“—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries,”“—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock” (other than a failure to purchase Notes), “—Limitation on Affiliate Transactions,”“—Limitation on Liens,” “—Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions” or “—Future Guarantors;”

 

  (5) the failure by the Issuer or Parent, as the case may be, to comply for 180 days after receipt of written notice with any of its obligations in the covenant described above under “—SEC Reports” (provided that, if applicable, failure by the Issuer or Parent to comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act will not in itself be deemed a Default or an Event of Default under the Indenture);

Table of Contents
  (6) Indebtedness of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $20.0 million (the “cross acceleration provision”);

 

  (7) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary (the “bankruptcy provisions”);

 

  (8) any final judgment or decree for the payment of money (other than judgments which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers) in excess of $10.0 million is entered against the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 consecutive days following such judgment becoming final and is not discharged, waived or stayed within 10 days after notice (the “judgment default provision”); or

 

  (9) the Parent Guaranty or a Subsidiary Guaranty ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guaranty) or a Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty.

However, a default under clauses (4), (5) and (8) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the default in writing and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. In the event of any Event of Default specified under clause (6), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose: (a) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (b) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of the Notes. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties and rights of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the Notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

 

  (1) such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

 

  (2) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

  (3) such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

 

  (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

71


Table of Contents
  (5) holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

If a Default occurs, is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the interest of the holders of the Notes. In addition, we are required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. We are required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

As to the waiver of defaults, see “—Amendments and Waivers.”

Amendments and Waivers

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not, among other things:

 

  (1) reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;

 

  (2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

 

  (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

 

  (4) reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under “—Optional Redemption;”

 

  (5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

 

  (6) impair the right of any holder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of and interest on such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes;

 

  (7) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions;

 

  (8) make any change in the ranking or priority of any Note or Guaranty that would adversely affect the noteholders; or

 

  (9) voluntarily release a Subsidiary Guarantor other than in accordance with the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder of the Notes, the Issuer, Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Trustee may amend the Indenture:

 

  (1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

 

  (2) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture;

 

72


Table of Contents
  (3) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

 

  (4) to add guarantees with respect to the Notes, including any Subsidiary Guaranties, or to secure the Notes;

 

  (5) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of the holders of the Notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

 

  (6) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Notes;

 

  (7) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any required qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

 

  (8) to conform the text of the Indenture, Guaranties or the Notes to any provision of this “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guaranties or the Notes as certified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee; or

 

  (9) to amend the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lenders under the Credit Agreement have the right to consent to any amendment, supplement or other modification of the Indenture or any other change relating to the Notes that occurs after the Original Issue Date if such amendments, supplements or changes would have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s ability to repay its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The consent of the holders of the Notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

After an amendment under the Indenture becomes effective, we are required to mail to holders of the Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all holders and is paid to all holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Transfer

The Notes will be issued in registered form and will be transferable only upon the surrender of the Notes being transferred for registration of transfer. We may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection with certain transfers and exchanges.

Defeasance

At any time, we may terminate all our and each Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes, the Guaranties and the Indenture (“legal defeasance”), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the Notes.

 

73


Table of Contents

In addition, at any time we may terminate our obligations under “—Fundamental Change” and under the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants” (other than the covenant described under “—Merger and Consolidation”), the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and the judgment default provision described under “—Defaults” above and the limitations contained in clause (3) of the first paragraph under “—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation” above and our Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranties and the Indenture (“covenant defeasance”).

We may exercise our legal defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (4), (5), (7), (8) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or (9) under “—Defaults” above or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with clause (3) of the first paragraph under “—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation” above. If we exercise our legal defeasance option or our covenant defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Guaranty.

In order to exercise either of our defeasance options, we must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable federal income tax law).

Concerning the Trustee

Wilmington Trust, National Association, (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB) is the Trustee under the Indenture. We have appointed Wilmington Trust National Association as Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to the Notes.

The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Issuer, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must either eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. If an Event of Default occurs (and is not cured), the Trustee is required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of such person’s affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any holder of Notes, unless such holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of the Indenture.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder or control person of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor has any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the

 

74


Table of Contents

Notes, any Guaranty or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the Notes are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Certain Definitions

Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Solely for purposes of the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Affiliate Transactions” the term “Affiliate” shall be deemed to exclude Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof (collectively, “Fairfax”); provided however that Fairfax will be deemed to be an “Affiliate” of the Issuer for purposes of clause (1) under paragraph (a) of “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Affiliate Transactions” and shall comply with the requirements set forth under such clause; provided further, however, that such requirements shall be deemed to have been satisfied in respect of any agreement as in effect on the Original Issue Date or any renewals, extension or amendments of any such agreements (so long as such renewals, extensions or amendments are not less favorable to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) and the transactions evidenced thereby.

Asset Disposition” means any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition (or series of related sales, leases, transfers or dispositions) by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, including any disposition by means of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction (each referred to for the purposes of this definition as a “disposition”), of:

provided, however, that a disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption “—Fundamental Change” and/or the provisions described above under the caption “—Merger and Consolidation” and not by the provisions described above under the caption “—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock” covenant.

Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale/Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the present value (discounted at the interest rate borne by the Notes, compounded annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale/ Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended); provided, however, that if such Sale/Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.”

Average Life” means, as of the date of determination, with respect to any Indebtedness, the quotient obtained by dividing:

 

  (1) the sum of the products of the number of years from the date of determination to the dates of each successive scheduled principal payment of or redemption or similar payment with respect to such Indebtedness multiplied by the amount of such payment by

 

  (2) the sum of all such payments.

Bank Indebtedness” means all Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any committee thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such Board.

For purposes of the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Liens,” a Capital Lease Obligation will be deemed to be secured by a Lien on the property being leased. For the avoidance of doubt, Capital Lease Obligations will not include ground leases of real property entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

provided further, however, that Consolidated Net Income for any period shall be increased (i) by cash received during such period by the Issuer or any of its consolidated subsidiaries in respect of commissions receivable (net of related commissions payable to brokers) on transactions that were completed by any acquired business prior to the acquisition of such business and which purchase accounting rules under GAAP would require to be recognized as an intangible asset purchased, (ii) increased, to the extent otherwise deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income for such period, by the amortization of intangibles relating to purchase accounting in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Indenture and (iii) increased (or decreased, as the case may be), in connection with the sale of real estate during such period, to eliminate the effect of purchase price allocations to such real estate resulting from the consummation of any acquisition permitted by the Indenture.

78


Table of Contents

such Person to purchase or redeem such Capital Stock upon the occurrence of an “asset sale,” “change of control” or “termination of trading” occurring prior to the first anniversary of the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall not constitute Disqualified Stock if:

 

  (1) the “asset sale,” “change of control” or “termination of trading” provisions applicable to such Capital Stock are not more favorable to the holders of such Capital Stock than the terms applicable to the Notes and described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock” and “—Fundamental Change;” and

 

  (2) any such requirement only becomes operative after compliance with such terms applicable to the Notes, including the purchase of any Notes tendered pursuant thereto.

The Global Notes will be deposited upon issuance with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in New York, New York, and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or indirect participant in DTC as described below.

Except as set forth below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged for Notes in certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below. See “—Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes.” Except in the limited circumstances described below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form.

Depository Procedures

The following description of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) are provided solely as a matter of convenience. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We take no responsibility for these operations and procedures and urge investors to contact the system or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

DTC has advised us that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the “Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the initial purchaser), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC’s system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the “Indirect Participants”). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

 

94


Table of Contents

DTC has also advised us that, pursuant to procedures established by it:

 

  (1) upon deposit of the Global Notes, DTC will credit the accounts of Participants designated by the Initial Purchasers with portions of the principal amount of the Global Notes; and

 

  (2) ownership of these interests in the Global Notes will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership of these interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to the Participants) or by the Participants and the Indirect Participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes).

Investors in the Global Notes who are Participants in DTC’s system may hold their interests therein directly through DTC. Investors in the Global Notes who are not Participants may hold their interests therein indirectly through organizations (including Euroclear and Clearstream) which are Participants in such system. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests in the Global Notes on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A. /N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A., as operator of Clearstream. All interests in a Global Note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of such systems. The laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interests.

Except as described below, owners of an interest in the Global Notes will not have Notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or holders thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.

Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium and additional interest, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable to DTC in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the Notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the Notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, none of the Issuer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

 

  (1) any aspect of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interest in the Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC’s records or any Participant’s or Indirect Participant’s records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or

 

  (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its Participants or Indirect Participants.

DTC has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the Notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the Notes, and the Issuer and the Trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.

 

95


Table of Contents

Transfers between Participants in DTC will be effected in accordance with DTC’s procedures, and will be settled in same-day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Cross-market transfers between the Participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf of delivering or receiving interests in the relevant Global Note in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

DTC has advised the Issuer that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of Notes only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose account DTC has credited the interests in the Global Notes and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes as to which such Participant or Participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the Notes, DTC reserves the right to exchange the Global Notes for legended Notes in certificated form, and to distribute such Notes to its Participants.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Notes among participants in DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform such procedures, and may discontinue such procedures at any time. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any of their respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes

A Global Note is exchangeable for Certificated Notes if:

 

  (1) DTC (a) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and DTC fails to appoint a successor depositary or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act;

 

  (2) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Certificated Notes; or

 

  (3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default with respect to the Notes.

In addition, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be exchanged for Certificated Notes under prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of DTC in accordance with the Indenture. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests in Global Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

Exchange of Certificated Notes for Global Notes

Certificated Notes may not be exchanged for beneficial interests in any Global Note unless the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture).

Table of Contents

Same Day Settlement and Payment

The Issuer will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, interest and additional interest, if any) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Global Note holder. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium and additional interest, if any, with respect to Certificated Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holders of the Certificated Notes or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each such holder’s registered address. The Notes represented by the Global Notes are expected to trade in DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary market trading activity in such Notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be settled in immediately available funds. The Issuer expects that secondary trading in any Certificated Notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a Global Note from a Participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised the Issuer that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a Global Note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a Participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of the material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of the outstanding notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Code, United States Treasury regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and pronouncements, and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This discussion does not address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

 

   

banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

 

   

United States expatriates and certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

 

   

holders subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

dealers in securities;

 

   

traders in securities;

 

   

partnerships, S corporations or other pass-through entities;

 

   

real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;

 

   

U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

tax-exempt organizations;

 

   

persons holding the notes as part of a “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; and

 

   

persons deemed to sell the notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

Holders of notes should consult their tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax consequences discussed below to their particular situations as well as the application of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws, and any tax treaties.

Exchange Pursuant to the Exchange Offer

The exchange of the outstanding notes for the exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be treated as an “exchange” for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the exchange notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the outstanding notes. Accordingly, the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes will not be a taxable event to holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the exchange notes will have the same tax attributes as the outstanding notes exchanged therefor and the same tax consequences to holders as the exchange notes have to holders, including without limitation, the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where the outstanding notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. In addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus. To the extent any such broker-dealer participates in the exchange offer, we have agreed that for a period of up to 180 days after the day the registered exchange offer expires, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to such broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale, and will deliver as many additional copies of this prospectus and each amendment or supplement to this prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus as such broker-dealer may request in the letter of transmittal.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of these methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any broker-dealer or the purchasers of any exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by these persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer, including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the outstanding notes, other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers, and will indemnify the holders of outstanding notes, including any broker-dealers, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In addition, as a result of its contractual rights, the preferred shareholder also acquired 400,000 shares for $10.70 per share, representing a $600,000 discount. Because the discount was the result of the preferred shareholder’s contractual rights, it is reflected as a non-cash preferred dividend.

On September 12, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson declared dividends on its common stock totaling $1.8 million. The dividends were paid subsequent to September 30, 2011.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s (together with its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Kennedy-Wilson”) unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles used in the preparation of the Kennedy-Wilson’s annual financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Kennedy-Wilson, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been included. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results that might be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, your attention is directed to the footnote disclosures found in Kennedy-Wilson’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kennedy-Wilson and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, Kennedy-Wilson evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities (VIEs) as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 810-10 and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that Kennedy-Wilson is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the ASC Subtopic 810-10.

The ownership of the other interest holders in consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests. The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Certain amounts previously reported in our December 31, 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2011 presentation on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

REVENUE RECOGNITION—Performance fees or carried interest are allocated to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager of Kennedy-Wilson’s real estate funds and loan pool participations based on cumulative performance of the fund and loan pools and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners and participants. At the end of each reporting period, Kennedy-Wilson calculates the performance fee that would be due to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager’s interests for a fund or loan pool, pursuant to the fund agreement or participation agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as performance fees to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance fee allocated to the general partner or asset manager or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to Kennedy-Wilson to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance fees allocated to the general partner or asset manager. Substantially all of the

Table of Contents

carried interest is recognized in equity in joint venture income and substantially all of the performance fees are recognized in management and leasing fees in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Total performances fees recognized through September 30, 2011 that may be reversed in future periods if there is negative fund performance were $2.6 million. $1.1 million of the performance fees were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. None of the performance fees were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

INVESTMENTS IN LOAN POOL PARTICIPATIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE—Interest income from investments in loan pool participations and notes receivable are recognized on a level yield basis under the provisions of Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ASC Subtopic 310-30, where a level yield model is utilized to determine a yield rate which, based upon projected future cash flows, accretes interest income over the estimated holding period. In the event that the present value of those future cash flows is less than net book value, a loss would be immediately recorded. When the future cash flows of a note cannot be reasonably estimated, cash payments are applied to the cost basis of the note until it is fully recovered before any interest income is recognized.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE—Accounts receivable are recorded at the contractual amount as determined by the underlying agreements and do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided when the Company determines there are probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable and is determined based on historical experience. The Company reviews its accounts receivable for probable credit losses on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 had recorded no provision for doubtful accounts.

INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES—Investments in marketable equity securities are categorized as available-for-sale in accordance with the provision of Investments—Debt and Equity Securities ASC Subtopic 320-10. Available for-sale securities are carried at fair value with period unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in net income. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest and other income.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS—In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Update No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Update 2011-05 requires an entity to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact to our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IRFS. Update No. 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Update 2011-04 is intended to result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact to our financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. Entities will be permitted to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair

Table of Contents

value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS COMBINATION

On June 28, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson acquired a 100% interest in an approximate 200,000 square foot office portfolio in Oakland, California (the “Portfolio”) from a related party fund (the “Seller”) in which Kennedy-Wilson has a 5% ownership interest. The assets and liabilities of the Portfolio since the date of acquisition have been consolidated at fair value in accordance with Business Combinations ASC Subtopic 805-10. The results of the operations of the Portfolio from the acquisition date to September 30, 2011 were immaterial. The amounts of $15.0 million in building, $2.5 million in acquired intangibles, $6.2 million in land, $0.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, $0.1 million in accounts receivables and other assets, $16.0 million in mortgage loans payable, and $1.1 million in other liabilities were recorded as a result of the combination. Direct costs of the business combination have been charged to operations in the period that such costs were incurred. Additionally, Kennedy-Wilson will pay the Seller 15% of all profits realized by Kennedy-Wilson in excess of a 10% internal rate of return. Accordingly, Kennedy-Wilson has recorded a liability of $0.7 million, at fair value, for the 15% contingent interest. This interest will be re-evaluated on an on-going basis.

As a result of remeasuring its basis at fair value (utilizing an income approach), Kennedy-Wilson recorded a remeasurement gain in the amount of $6.3 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The gain recognized represented the fair value in excess of the price paid.

The Portfolio revenue and earnings included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and the revenue and earnings on a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition of the Portfolio occurred on January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2010, were as follows:

This unaudited pro forma information is not intended to represent or be indicative of what would have occurred if the transaction had taken place on the dates presented and is not indicative of what Kennedy-Wilson’s actual results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the periods indicated above.

NOTE 4—NOTES RECEIVABLE

In September 2011, Kennedy-Wilson issued and advanced, through a promissory note, $10.0 million to One Baxter Way, L.P., an equity method investment and related party. The note bears interest at a rate of 12%, is interest only, and is due on November 20, 2011. The interest recognized on the note is included in interest income—related party in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

In May 2011, Kennedy-Wilson collected the $2.0 million outstanding balance on its note receivable due from the Bay Area Smart Growth Fund II, LLC.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson issued and advanced additional monies on an unsecured note receivable to KW Property Fund II, LP, an equity method investment and related party. The note had an outstanding balance of $8.4 million as of September 30, 2011. The note bears interest at a rate of 20%, is interest only, and is due on October 31, 2011. The interest recognized on the note is included in interest income—related party in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson increased its unsecured note receivable with 5th and Madison, LLC, an equity method investment and related party, by $1.0 million to $3.9 million. The note bears interest at a rate of 15%, is interest only, and is due on December 31, 2011. The interest recognized on the note is included in interest income—related party in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

In September 2011, Kennedy-Wilson issued and advanced, through a promissory note, $5.6 million (with a maximum amount of $6.7 million) to an unrelated party, secured by a 16-unit condominium property in Los Angeles, California. The note bears interest at a rate of 12%, with principal repayments due upon the sale of each condominium unit, and is due on September 30, 2012. The interest recognized on the note is included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

In April 2010, Kennedy-Wilson purchased a pool of loans or notes receivable with deteriorated credit quality from a bank for $25.3 million. As of September 30, 2011, the assets and debt related to the pool of loans are $9.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The amount contractually due under the terms of the notes as of September 30, 2011 is $14.7 million. Contractual payments of principal and interest of $0.2 million are due monthly as of September 30, 2011. Kennedy-Wilson expects to accrete $3.5 million in interest on notes receivable over the total estimated collection period. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Kennedy-Wilson accreted $0.2 million and $1.1 million, and $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as interest on notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. From acquisition through September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson has accreted $3.5 million of interest on notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson foreclosed on three assets in Las Vegas, Nevada and one asset in Palm Springs, California in the pool of loans discussed above that had been collateral for loans within the loan pool. As a result of these foreclosures, the real estate was removed from the pool and recorded on Kennedy-Wilson’s consolidated balance sheet at a fair value of $9.5 million. Kennedy-Wilson determined the fair value based on the income approach. The fair value was consistent with the carrying amount within the loan pool and, as such, no gain or loss was recorded.

NOTE 5—REAL ESTATE

See note 3 for discussion of the acquisition of the approximate 200,000 square foot office portfolio in Oakland, California.

See note 4 for discussion of the additions to real estate related to the foreclosure of the real estate assets in our consolidated loan pool.

NOTE 6—INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

Kennedy-Wilson has a number of joint venture interests, generally ranging from 5% to approximately 50%, which were formed to acquire, manage and/or sell real estate. Kennedy-Wilson has significant influence over these entities, but not control, and accordingly, these investments are accounted for under the equity method.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson invested in nine new joint ventures totaling $50.7 million and invested $2.7 million to buy out ownership interests from joint venture partners.

During the same period, Kennedy-Wilson made $35.3 million in contributions to existing joint venture investments. Of this amount, $14.2 million, including $0.5 million of noncontrolling interests, was contributed by Kennedy-Wilson to its joint venture in Japan for the purposes of refinancing a large portion of the Japanese multifamily portfolio, $4.5 million was contributed by Kennedy-Wilson to refinance two multifamily projects in Kent, Washington, $3.6 million was contributed to pay down a loan on an existing residential investment in Walnut Creek, California, and $7.0 million was contributed to increase its interest in a project in Northern California.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson received $21.1 million in distributions from its joint ventures.

As of September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson has unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $15.6 million to its joint ventures. As we identify investment opportunities in the future, we may be called upon to contribute additional capital to joint ventures in satisfaction of our capital commitment obligations.

Kennedy-Wilson has certain guarantees associated with loans secured by assets held in various joint venture partnerships. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) Kennedy-Wilson could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $21.4 million and $28.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The guarantees expire through 2015 and Kennedy-Wilson’s performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the property. Based upon Kennedy-Wilson’s evaluation of guarantees under Estimated Fair Value of Guarantees ASC Subtopic 460-10, the estimated fair value of guarantees made as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is immaterial.

NOTE 7—INVESTMENT IN LOAN POOL PARTICIPATION

In August 2011, Kennedy-Wilson, in partnership with a bank, acquired a loan portfolio with deteriorated credit quality totaling $43.7 million in unpaid principal balance. The loan portfolio is comprised of nine nonperforming loans secured by eight retail properties located in Southern California. The amount contractually due under the terms of the notes as of September 30, 2011 is $43.7 million.

The amount contractually due under the terms of the notes as of September 30, 2011 is $228.7 million.

Contractual payments of principal and interest of $0.8 million are due monthly from the loan pool participations. As of September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson expects to accrete $18.2 million, including $2.1 million of noncontrolling interest, in interest income from loan pool participations over the total estimated collection period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson recognized $0.8 million, including an immaterial amount in noncontrolling interests, and $4.7 million, including $0.5 million in noncontrolling interest, respectively, of interest income from loan pool participations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, Kennedy-Wilson recognized $3.2 million, including $0.5 million in noncontrolling interests, and $6.3 million, including $1.0 million in noncontrolling interest, respectively, of interest income from loan pool participations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. From acquisition through September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson has accreted $14.0 million, including $1.9 million of noncontrolling interests, of interest on notes receivable included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

$7.7 million, including noncontrolling interest of approximately $0.7 million, with a commitment, subject to receipt of regulatory and other approvals, to purchase up to an additional 180.2 million units of ordinary stock of the Bank of Ireland at a fixed price of €0.10. Kennedy-Wilson classifies its marketable securities which consist of common equity as available-for-sale and records them at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The fair value was determined based on quoted prices in active markets.

At September 30, 2011, Kennedy Wilson’s marketable securities had a cost basis of $7.7 million and a fair value of $5.6 million. The difference included unrealized losses of $2.1 million which has been accounted for within other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statement of equity.

Kennedy-Wilson accounts for its commitment to purchase the additional 180.2 million units of the Bank of Ireland ordinary stock as available for sale securities consistent with ASC Subtopic 320-10, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities. As of September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a liability and an unrealized loss associated with the committed shares of $5.6 million, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and within other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statement of equity.

The Company has evaluated the unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 and has concluded that the unrealized losses are temporary in nature. The factors considered included current quoted prices in the active market and the severity and duration of the loss.

The change in unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in equity in joint venture (loss) income in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

The change in unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for investments still held as of September 30, 2011 was a gain of $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively.

Kennedy-Wilson records its investment in KW Property Fund III, L.P., Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, L.P., and SG KW Venture I, LLC (the “Funds”) based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. The Funds report their investments at fair value based on valuations of the underlying real estate and real estate related assets and their related indebtedness secured by real estate. The valuations of real estate, real estate related assets, and indebtedness are based on management estimates of the assets and liabilities using a combination of the income and market approach. There was no material change in the fair value of these investments for the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson recorded a decrease in fair value of $0.9 million in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, there was no material change in the fair value of these investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Kennedy-Wilson recorded an increase in fair value of $0.8 million in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Kennedy-Wilson’s investment balance in the Funds was $22.0 million and $20.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which are included in investments in joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Kennedy-Wilson has unfunded capital commitments to the Funds in the amounts of $11.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OPTION—Additionally, Kennedy-Wilson elected the fair value option for two investments in joint venture entities that were acquired during 2008. Kennedy-Wilson elected to record these investments at fair value to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. In May 2011, Kennedy-Wilson purchased an additional 24% (increasing its interest from 24% to 48%) interest in one of its fair value option investments for $7.0 million from a related party fund. Since this amount was less than the fair value of this interest at the time of purchase, this transaction resulted in Kennedy-Wilson recording an increase in fair value of $3.4 million in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. There was no material change in the fair value of these investments during the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Kennedy-Wilson recorded an increase in fair value of $2.0 million in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. There was no material change in fair value of these investments during three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Kennedy-Wilson determines the fair value of these investments based upon the income approach, utilizing estimates of future cash flows, discount rates and liquidity risks. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these two investments had fair values of $23.1 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds and two fair value option investments, Kennedy-Wilson considers significant inputs such as capitalization and discount rates. The table below describes the range of inputs for real estate assets:

 

     Estimated rates used for
     Capitalization rates   Discount Rates

Multifamily

   5% — 6%   7.5% — 8.25%

Office

   6.5%   7.5% — 9.0%

Land and condominium

   n/a   8.0% — 15.0%

Retail

   7.5%   8.25%

Loan

   n/a   9.5%

In valuing real estate related assets and indebtedness, Kennedy-Wilson considers significant inputs such as the term of the debt, value of collateral, market loan-to-value ratios, market interest rates and spreads, and credit quality of investment entities. The credit spreads used by Kennedy-Wilson for these types of investments range from 4.5% to 9.5%.

The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments utilizing unobservable inputs cannot be determined with precision, cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets, and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including cap rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS—The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, deferred and accrued income taxes approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of notes receivable (excluding related party notes receivable as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximates fair value as notes receivable are negotiated based upon the fair value of loans with similar characteristics. Mortgage loans and senior notes approximate fair value as the terms are comparable to the terms currently being offered to Kennedy-Wilson.

NOTE 10—SENIOR NOTES

In April 2011, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson, issued $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.750% senior notes due April 1, 2019 with an effective yield of 8.875% and an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.750% senior notes due April 1, 2019 with an effective yield of 8.486%. Interest on the notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. If the Notes are redeemed prior to April 1, 2017 a premium must be paid on the redeemed amount. The terms of the notes are governed by an indenture by and among the Issuer, Kennedy-Wilson, as parent guarantor, certain subsidiaries of the Issuer, as subsidiary guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee.

The indenture governing the notes contains various restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, to make restricted payments, pay dividends or make any other distributions from restricted subsidiaries, redeem or repurchase capital stock, sell assets or subsidiary stocks, engage in transactions with affiliates, create or permit liens on assets, enter into sale /leaseback transactions, and enter into consolidations or mergers.

The indenture governing the 8.750% senior Notes limits Kennedy-Wilson’s ability to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the new indebtedness, Kennedy-Wilson’s maximum balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is greater than 1.50 to 1.00. This ratio is measured at the time of incurrence of additional indebtedness.

NOTE 18—INCOME TAXES

In determining quarterly provisions for income taxes, Kennedy-Wilson uses an effective tax rate based on actual year-to-date income and statutory tax rates. The effective tax rate also reflects Kennedy-Wilson’s assessment of the ultimate outcome of tax audits.

Kennedy Wilson’s effective tax rates for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 38.1% and 11.4%, respectively. Kennedy-Wilson’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 48.6% and 55.1%, respectively. The fluctuations between periods in the Company’s effective tax rate are mainly due to varying levels of income and amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. Permanent items that impact the Company’s effective rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% were not materially different in amounts for all periods. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the Company’s effective tax rate are state taxes and income attributable to non-controlling interests.

NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In August 2011, Kennedy-Wilson, along with its institutional partners, agreed to acquire a portfolio consisting of 27 performing loans with an unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of approximately $2.3 billion ($1.8 billion purchase price) secured by real estate located in the United Kingdom. The parties closed the first of two tranches in the transaction on October 21, 2011 for $1.4 billion in equity. The closing of the second tranche of loans is expected to occur on or around November 29, 2011 for $400 million. The 27 loans are secured by more

than 170 properties comprising the following product types: 38% office, 25% multifamily, 25% retail, 9% industrial, 2% hotel and 1% land. 60% of the UPB is located in London, England. The loans have a 26-month weighted average maturity and a 5.5% weighted average current interest yield (based on purchase price). Kennedy-Wilson has a 50% ownership interest (representing an investment by Kennedy-Wilson of $47.8 million) in a joint venture that contributed $351.6 million, which was partially funded with a $256.0 million loan that is non-recourse to Kennedy-Wilson currently bearing interest at a rate of 6% and secured by the joint venture’s interest, for a 25.0% ownership interest in the first tranche. Additionally, Kennedy-Wilson contributed $67.6 million for a 4.8% direct ownership interest in the first tranche. The aforementioned joint venture, in which Kennedy-Wilson owns a 50% interest, is expected to take a 25% interest in the closing of the second tranche. Kennedy-Wilson charged a 1% acquisition fee (based on purchase price) on the transaction and expects to earn approximately $6 million in asset management fees over the 3-year estimated holding period. Additionally, Kennedy-Wilson is entitled to promoted interests above certain return thresholds with respect to its investment in the aforementioned joint venture. If these promoted interest are attained, they will allow the Company to earn a larger share of the profits than it would otherwise attain solely through its ownership interest in the joint venture.

On October 6, 2011, a subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson purchased the remaining commitment of 180.2 million units of ordinary stock, including 15.8 million noncontrolling interest units, of the Bank of Ireland for a purchase price of approximately $24.5 million, including noncontrolling interests of approximately $2.2 million. Kennedy-Wilson earned a $6.4 million transaction fee in connection with their and other parties’ purchase of the ordinary stock.

In connection with the transactions above, Kennedy-Wilson borrowed $55 million on its line of credit subsequent to September 30, 2011.

Included in the guarantor subsidiaries column below are data for certain guarantor subsidiaries that were less than 100% owned for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 by Kennedy-Wilson at the time the notes were originally issued. Such guarantor subsidiaries were restructured prior to the date of this prospectus such that Kennedy-Wilson now owns 100% of all of the guarantor subsidiaries. As a result, in accordance with Rule 3-10 (d) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, no separate financial statements are required for such guarantor subsidiaries.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the December 31, 2009 financial statements of KW Residential, LLC a 35% owned investee company. Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s investment in KW Residential, LLC as of December 31, 2009 was $91,276,000 and its equity in joint venture income was $5,949,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The December 31, 2009 financial statements of KW Residential, LLC were audited by other auditors whose reports has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the December 31, 2009 amounts included for KW Residential, LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor on the 2009 financial statements of KW Residential, LLC, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 11, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 10, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report indicates that the December 31, 2009 financial statements of KW Residential, LLC were audited by other auditors and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. for KW Residential, LLC is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows—(continued)

During 2010, as a result of the consolidation of two joint venture investments and a subsequent deconsolidation of one of those entities, accounts receivable increased by $171,000, real estate increased by $28,464,000, investment in joint ventures increased by $3,292,000, other assets increased by $3,174,000, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $323,000 and mortgage loan payable increased by $32,670,000.

In 2009, the debt on a piece of land that was sold was assumed by the buyer resulting in a decrease of proceeds from the sale of real estate of $2,025,000 and reduction of repayment of mortgage loans payable of $2,025,000.

In 2008, the Company converted notes receivable from various executives and directors of the Company related to a joint venture investment in Japan into equity in the Japanese joint venture resulting in an increase in investments in joint ventures of $4,397,000 and a decrease in notes receivable of $4,397,000.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (“Kennedy-Wilson” or “KWH”), provide various commercial and residential real estate services including property management, asset management, brokerage and marketing in the U.S. and Japan primarily to institutional investors, financial institutions, pension funds, and developers. Kennedy-Wilson, principally through joint venture investments, also acquires, renovates and resells commercial and residential real estate, and invests in discounted loan portfolios.

On November 13, 2009, the stockholders of Prospect Acquisition Company (“Prospect”) approved a merger with Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (“KWI”), whereby KWI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prospect, which was renamed Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Merger”). The directors and officers of KWI immediately before the Merger became the directors and officers of Kennedy-Wilson, except that one of the KWI directors immediately before the Merger resigned and was replaced by a director from Prospect (see note 3).

Kennedy-Wilson has evaluated all subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are available for issuance.

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kennedy-Wilson and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, Kennedy-Wilson evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 810 – Consolidation and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that Kennedy-Wilson is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Consolidations ASC Subtopic 810-10. The ownership of the other interest holders of consolidated subsidiaries is reflected as noncontrolling interests.

USE OF ESTIMATES—The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile energy markets, and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

REVENUE RECOGNITION—Revenue primarily consists of management fees, performance fees, commission revenue and sales of real estate.

Management fees are primarily comprised of property management fees, base asset management fees, and acquisition fees. Property management fees are earned for managing the operations of real estate assets and are based on a fixed percentage of the revenues generated from the respective real estate assets. Base asset

 

F-38


Table of Contents

management fees are earned from limited partners of funds Kennedy-Wilson sponsors and are generally based on a fixed percentage of committed capital or net asset value. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the period that the respective services are performed. Acquisition fees are earned for identifying and closing investments on behalf of investors and are based on a fixed percentage of the acquisition price. Acquisition fees are recognized upon the successful completion of an acquisition after all required services have been performed.

Performance fees or carried interest are allocated to the general partner or special limited partner of Kennedy-Wilson’s real estate funds based on the cumulative fund performance to date that are subject to preferred return to the limited partners. At the end of each reporting period, Kennedy-Wilson calculates the performance fee that would be due to the general partner and special limited partner interests for a fund, pursuant to the fund agreement, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as Performance Fee to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance fee allocated to the general partner or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to the Kennedy-Wilson to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance fees allocated to the general partner. Substantially all of the carried interest is recognized in equity in joint venture income and in certain instances the performance fees are recognized in management and leasing fees in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Commissions primarily consist of auction and real estate sales commissions and leasing commissions. In the case of auction and real estate sales commissions, the revenue is generally recognized when escrow closes. In accordance with the guidelines established for Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent in the ASC Subtopic 605-45, Kennedy-Wilson records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in the Subtopic 605-45, Kennedy-Wilson is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Leasing fees that are payable upon tenant occupancy, payment of rent or other events beyond Kennedy-Wilson’s control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.

Sales of real estate are recognized at the close of escrow when title to the real property passes to the buyer and there is no continuing involvement in the real property. Kennedy-Wilson follows the requirements for profit recognition as set forth by the Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20.

INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES—Kennedy-Wilson has a number of joint venture interests, generally ranging from 5% to approximately 50%, that were formed to acquire, manage, and/or sell real estate. Investments in joint ventures which Kennedy-Wilson does not control are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as Kennedy-Wilson can exercise significant influence, but does not have the ability to control the joint venture. An investment in a joint venture is recorded at its initial investment and is increased or decreased by Kennedy-Wilson’s share of undistributed income or loss and less distributions. A decline in the value of an investments in a joint venture that is other than temporary is recognized when evidence indicates that such a decline has occurred in accordance with Equity Method Investments ASC Subtopic 323-10.

Profits on the sale of real estate held by joint ventures in which Kennedy-Wilson has continuing involvement are deferred until such time that the continuing involvement has been resolved and all the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. Profit on sales to joint ventures in which Kennedy-Wilson retains an equity ownership interest results in partial sales treatment in accordance with Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20, thus deferring a portion of the gain as a result of Kennedy-Wilson’s continuing ownership percentage in the joint ventures.

Kennedy-Wilson has two investments in joint ventures, KW Property Fund III, L.P. (KW Fund III) and SG KW Venture I, LLC (the Funds) that are investment companies under the Investment Companies ASC Subtopic

946-10. Thus, the Funds reflect their investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Kennedy-Wilson has retained the specialized accounting for the Funds pursuant to Retention of Specialized Accounting for Investments in Consolidation ASC Subtopic 810-10 in recording its equity in joint venture income from the Funds.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS—Kennedy-Wilson accounts for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis under the provisions of Fair Value Measurements ASC Subtopic 820-10. Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

GOODWILL—Goodwill results from the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net assets acquired based upon the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. In accordance with Accounting for Goodwill ASC Subtopic 350-20, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. In testing for impairment, goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit based upon the amount of goodwill generated at the time of acquisition of the businesses by the reporting unit. An earnings multiple appropriate to the respective reporting unit is applied to the cash basis net operating income of the reporting unit. This process enables an approximation of the reporting unit’s value, which is then compared to the net book value of the reporting unit. As a result of the evaluation performed as described above, Kennedy-Wilson has determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS—Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS—Kennedy-Wilson reviews its long-lived assets (excluding goodwill) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ASC Subtopic 360-10. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are presented separately in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of the assets to be disposed of classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

INVESTMENTS IN LOAN POOL PARTICIPATIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE—Interest income from investments in loan pool participations and notes receivable acquired with deteriorated credit quality are recognized on a level yield basis under the provisions of Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ASC Subtopic 310-30, where a level yield model is utilized to determine a yield rate which, based upon projected future cash flows, accretes interest income over the estimated holding period. When the future cash flows of a note cannot be reasonably estimated, cash payments are applied to the cost basis of the note until it is fully recovered before any interest income is recognized.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS—The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment, however, is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS—Noncontrolling interests are reported within equity as a separate component of Kennedy-Wilson’s equity in accordance with Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial

 

F-40


Table of Contents

Statements ASC Subtopic 810-10. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income are reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) at the consolidated amounts and separately stated are amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST—Kennedy-Wilson capitalizes interest in accordance with Capitalization of Interest Cost ASC Subtopic 835-20 for assets that are undergoing development or entitlement activities in preparation for their planned principal operations. For qualifying equity investments, interest is capitalized in accordance with Capitalization of Interest Cost in Financial Statements That Include Investments Accounted for Under the Equity Method ASC Subtopic 835-20. An appropriate interest rate is applied to Kennedy-Wilson’s cash investment in the qualifying asset. The interest is credited against interest expense and added to the basis in the investment. Interest is capitalized when the development or entitlement activity commences and ceases when the investment has begun its planned principal operations.

GUARANTEES—Kennedy-Wilson has certain guarantees associated with loans secured by assets held in various joint venture investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) Kennedy-Wilson could be required to make under the guarantees was $28 million and $35 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The guarantees expire through 2011 and Kennedy-Wilson’s performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall in liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the asset. Based upon Kennedy-Wilson’s evaluation of guarantees under Estimated Fair Value of Guarantees ASC Subtopic 460-10, the estimated fair value of guarantees made as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is immaterial.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK—Financial instruments that subject Kennedy-Wilson to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and notes receivable and cash equivalents. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities composing Kennedy-Wilson’s customer base and their geographic dispersion throughout the U.S. Kennedy-Wilson performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and debtors. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in institutions insured by government agencies. Certain accounts contain balances in excess of the insured limits.

EARNINGS PER SHARE—Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. The dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities including unvested shares, convertible securities and warrants which were outstanding during the period calculated by the “treasury stock” method.

REPURCHASE OF EQUITY INSTRUMENTS—Upon the decision to retire repurchased equity instruments, Kennedy-Wilson records the retirement as a reduction to additional paid in capital.

SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS—Kennedy-Wilson accounts for its share-based payment arrangements under the provisions of Share-Based Payments ASC Subtopic 718-10. Compensation cost for employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based award that is ultimately settled in equity of Kennedy-Wilson. The cost of employee services is recognized over the period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the share-based payment award. Share-based payment arrangements that vest ratably over the requisite service period are recognized on the straight-line basis and performance awards that vest ratably are recognized on a tranche by tranche basis over the performance period. Unrecognized compensation costs for share-based payment arrangements that have been modified are recognized over the original service or performance period.

FAIR VALUE OPTION—Kennedy-Wilson accounts for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with changes in fair value reported in earnings in accordance with the provisions of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ASC Subtopic 820-10.

INCOME TAXES—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ASC Subtopic 740-10, Kennedy-Wilson recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

Kennedy-Wilson records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS—In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Kennedy-Wilson expects that the adoption of ASU 2010-29 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, to clarify that loan modifications within loan pools accounted for as a single asset do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. Update No. 2010-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after July 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. This update is consistent with Kennedy-Wilson’s current policy and, as such, Update No. 2010-18 has no material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, to improve disclosure requirements related to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Subtopic 820. Update No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Update No. 2010-06 was adopted on January 1, 2010, and there is no material impact to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Additionally, Kennedy-Wilson has adopted the disclosures requirements about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS—Certain balances included in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

NOTE 3—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Prospect Acquisition Corp.

On November 13, 2009, KWI merged with Prospect, a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring control of, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, reverse capitalization, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses or assets in the financial services industry (the “Merger”). The resulting merged entity is KWH which continues the business

operations of KWI, including all of their personnel and management. Consequently, the Merger achieved Prospect’s business combination purpose while providing $89 million in cash for KWH to take immediate actions to acquire real estate and loans secured by real estate in the distressed real estate markets in the United States and abroad.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with Business Combinations ASC 805-40, because the stockholders of KWI immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger obtained effective control of Prospect, immediately following completion of the Merger, through (1) their stockholder interest comprising the largest single control block of shares in the post-merger company, (2) a majority of the members of the board of directors of the post-merger company being comprised of KWI directors (initially, six directors of KWI and one director of Prospect), and (3) all of the senior executive officers of the post-merger company being comprised of KWI executive officers. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of KWI have become the historical financial statements of Prospect at the closing of the Merger, and Prospect’s assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), liabilities and results of operations have been consolidated with KWI beginning on the date of the Merger, again becoming the combined entity of Kennedy-Wilson. The components of equity are the retained earnings and other equity balances of KWI immediately before the Merger with the capital share account of KWI adjusted to reflect the par value of the outstanding shares of Prospect. Assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Prospect have been consolidated at fair value in accordance with Business Combinations ASC Subtopic 805-10. All direct costs of the Merger have been charged to operations in the period that such costs were incurred.

Effective with the Merger, common stockholders of KWI received as consideration 20.4 million shares of Prospect’s common stock and preferred stockholders of KWI received as consideration 5.6 million shares of Prospect’s common stock, for an aggregate consideration of 26.0 million shares of Prospect common stock. In addition, 2.5 million shares of Prospect common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, non-employees and management of Kennedy-Wilson pursuant to an equity compensation plan adopted by Prospect’s board of directors and approved by Prospect’s stockholders on November 13, 2009. Upon completion of the Merger, Prospect shareholders were granted 12.8 million shares of KWH, with a fair value of $89 million, resulting in 31% ownership in the combined company Kennedy-Wilson. The net assets received from Prospect were $89 million of cash, no material liabilities were assumed, and no other identifiable intangible assets were acquired. Because the value of the consideration given to Prospect equals the fair value of the net identifiable assets, no goodwill was recorded from the Merger.

Fairways 340, LLC

In June 2010, Kennedy-Wilson acquired its partners interest to obtain 100% of the interest in Fairways 340, LLC (“Fairways”) that was previously accounted for under the equity method. The assets, liabilities, and results of the operations of Fairways at the date of acquisition were consolidated at fair value and direct costs of the business combination have been charged to operations in the period that such costs were incurred in accordance with Business Combinations ASC Subtopic 805-10. Kennedy-Wilson had a 49.83% ownership interest and equity with a fair value of $8.9 million before the combination and the combination was considered to be achieved in stages. As a result of remeasuring its basis at fair value (utilizing an income approach) upon the combination, Kennedy-Wilson recorded a remeasurement gain in the amount of $2.1 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Subsequently, in October 2010, Kennedy-Wilson sold a controlling interest in Fairways to KW Fund III (of which KWH owns an 11.62% interest in) retaining a direct 50% ownership interest. The sale, which was considered in substance a sale of real estate, resulted in a gain of $0.7 million, after deferral of $0.1 million for the retained ownership interest, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the period in which Fairways was consolidated, Kennedy-Wilson recorded $1.2 million in rental revenue, $0.6 million in rental and other expenses, $0.4 million in depreciation expense, and $0.3 million in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). At December 31, 2010, Fairways is presented as an equity method investment in joint venture.

During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson acquired a controlling interest and assumed the debt of a 2,700 acre ranch in Hawaii. The purchase price of the controlling interest combined with previously capitalized investments made by Kennedy-Wilson and the $16.0 million payoff of debt at a discount resulted in the new basis consolidated in the amount of $36.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The ranch is currently being developed for its intended use. As such, $0.8 million of avoidable interest has been capitalized to the project.

During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson purchased a note from a bank for $5.3 million secured by a house in Kona, Hawaii. The borrower subsequently transferred the deed to Kennedy-Wilson in lieu of a foreclosure. In addition, the borrower paid Kennedy-Wilson $0.2 million and issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $1.0 million.

During 2008, Kennedy-Wilson sold its interest in an entity that owned an office building located in Glendora, California for $1,488,000. The sale resulted in a gain of $564,000, which is included in rental and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss). Kennedy-Wilson continues to provide management services to the property and therefore it is not included in discontinued operations.

NOTE 6—REAL ESTATE AVAILABLE FOR SALE

In 2009, Kennedy-Wilson acquired a 149-unit condominium project located in Los Angeles, California. The project was purchased for the purposes of resale and was classified as held for sale at the date of acquisition. During 2009, Kennedy-Wilson sold 138 units with a historical cost basis of $34.4 million for a gain of $16.5 million. During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson sold the 11 remaining units with a historical cost basis of $2.5 million for a gain of $1.2 million.

NOTE 7—INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

Kennedy-Wilson has a number of joint venture interests, generally ranging from 5% to approximately 50%, that were formed to acquire, manage, and/or sell real estate. Kennedy-Wilson has significant influence over these entities, but not voting or other control and, accordingly, these investments are accounted for under the equity method.

In 2010, Kennedy-Wilson formed a new joint venture platform which provides for a capital commitment from a joint venture partner in the amount of $250 million with Kennedy-Wilson’s capital commitment totaling $28 million. The commitment from the partner has a three-year investment period and each proposed investment within the platform is at the discretion of the joint venture partner. As of December 31, 2010, the partner has contributed $132.3 million of capital into three joint ventures. Through December 31, 2010, Kennedy-Wilson has contributed capital in the amount of $14.7 million, including $1.7 million of noncontrolling interests, into the three joint ventures. Of this amount, $12.7 million, including $1.3 million of noncontrolling interests, was used to buyout ownership interests from an existing joint venture partner in KW Residential, LLC (“KWR”). The remaining amount of $2.0 million, including $0.4 million of noncontrolling interests, was used to invest in new investments.

Additionally, during 2010, Kennedy-Wilson invested $14.2 million, including $4.4 million of noncontrolling interests, in six new joint ventures and recapitalized five joint ventures with $11.5 million, including $0.3 million of noncontrolling interests, to buyout ownership interests from existing joint venture partners.

Also, during 2010, Kennedy-Wilson made $31.0 million in additional contributions to existing joint venture investments. Of this amount $17.4 million was used by several joint ventures to pay down and/or refinance existing debt, which resulted in $5.3 million of gains from the early extinguishment of debt that is included in equity in joint venture income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

In 2010, Kennedy-Wilson received $16.1 million in distributions from its joint ventures, of which $5.9 million was from operations and $10.2 million was return of capital.

In 2010, Kennedy-Wilson recognized $10.1 million in gains from foreign currency translation adjustments from its investment in KWR. The foreign currency gain is included in other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes of $4.1 million in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss).

Kennedy-Wilson has determined that it has no investments in variable interest entities as of December 31, 2010 and had investments in two variable interest entities as of December 31, 2009 and has concluded that Kennedy-Wilson is not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2009, the variable interest entities had assets totaling $132 million with Kennedy-Wilson’s exposure to loss as a result of its interests in these variable interest entities totaling $7.0 million related to its equity contributions. In addition, as of December 31, 2009, Kennedy-Wilson had $14.2 million in the form of loan guarantees that represented 20% of the mortgage loans of the underlying variable interest entities.

Investments in which Kennedy-Wilson does not have significant influence are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, Kennedy-Wilson had five investments accounted for under the cost method with a carrying value totaling $2.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Distributions in excess of Kennedy-Wilson’s basis in investments in joint ventures totaling $56,000 were deferred for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to continuing involvement in the real estate sold by the joint venture. Total deferred revenues and gains on sale of investments in joint ventures included in accrued expenses and other liabilities were $3,943,000 and $3,664,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 8—INVESTMENTS IN LOAN POOL PARTICIPATIONS

In 2010, Kennedy-Wilson, in partnership with a bank, acquired two loan portfolios totaling approximately $424.5 million in unpaid principal balance. The loan portfolios, which were acquired from a regional bank, are comprised of loans secured by residential, hotel, retail, office, land, multifamily and other assets predominantly located in Southern California. Kennedy-Wilson expects to accrete $21.9 million, including $4.1 million of noncontrolling interest, in interest income from loan pool participations over the estimated collection period. The amount contractually due under the terms of the notes as of December 31, 2010 is $306.7 million. Contractual payments of principal and interest of $1.1 million are due monthly. During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson recognized $9.3 million, including $1.4 million in noncontrolling interests, of interest income from loan pool participations and notes receivable in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Kennedy- Wilson’s investment balance was $25.2 million at December 31, 2010.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND THE FAIR VALUE OPTION

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in markets that are not active.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The change in unrealized gains on level 3 investments during 2010, 2009 and 2008 for investments still held as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $6.2 million, $2.6 million, $7.0 million, respectively.

INVESTMENT IN INVESTMENT COMPANIES—Kennedy-Wilson records its investment in the Funds based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. The Funds report their investments in real estate at fair value based on valuations of the underlying real estate holdings and indebtedness securing the real estate. The valuations of real estate were based on management estimates of the real estate assets using an income approach. Increases in fair value for the Funds of $3.7 million, $3.8 million, and $1.1 million were recorded in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The indebtedness securing the real estate and the investments in debt securities were valued, in part, based on third party valuations and management estimates also using an income approach. Kennedy-Wilson’s investment balance in the Funds was $20.6 million and $7.9 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are included in investments in joint ventures in the

accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2010, Kennedy-Wilson has unfunded capital commitments to the Funds in the amounts of $3.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OPTION—Kennedy-Wilson has elected the fair value option for two investments in joint venture entities that were acquired during 2009. Kennedy-Wilson elected to record these investments at fair value to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. The increase, decrease, and increase in fair value for these investments of $2.5 million, $1.0

million, and $6.0 million were recorded in equity in joint venture income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Kennedy-Wilson determines the fair value of these investments based upon the income approach, utilizing estimates of future cash flows, discount rates and liquidity risks.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS—The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, deferred and accrued income taxes, and income tax receivable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of notes receivable (excluding related party notes receivable as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximate fair value as they are negotiated based upon the fair value of loans with similar characteristics. Bank lines of credit and debt approximate fair value as the terms are comparable to the terms currently being offered to Kennedy-Wilson.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which Kennedy-Wilson’s gross deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not Kennedy-Wilson will realize the benefits of these deductible differences as of December 31, 2010.

Management has considered the likelihood and significance of possible penalties associated with Kennedy-Wilson’s current and intended filing positions and has determined, based on its assessment, that such penalties, if any, would not be expected to be material.

Kennedy-Wilson’s federal income tax returns remain open to examination for the tax years 2007 through 2010. Kennedy-Wilson is currently under examination for 2008 and 2009.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS—Kennedy-Wilson has entered into employment agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Investment Group, which provide for annual base compensation in the aggregate amounts of $950,000 and $750,000, respectively, and expire in December 2019 and January 2014, respectively. The employment agreements provided for the payment of cash bonuses, in connection with the Merger, in the amounts of $4,850,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, and were paid in November 2009. Additionally, the employment agreements provide for cash bonuses of $2,425,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, based on Kennedy-Wilson’s achievement of certain performance targets as described in the employment agreement and were paid on April 1, 2010 . The employment agreements also provide for the issuance of 556,875 shares of restricted stock to each officer that vest in equal amounts over five years provided certain performance targets are achieved (see Note 19). Also, in connection with the Merger, Kennedy-Wilson forgave a note, including principal and interest, due from its Chief Executive Officer in the total amount of $4,281,000. Additionally, the employment agreements provide for the payment of an annual discretionary bonus in an amount determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee of the board of directors.

Kennedy-Wilson also has employment agreements with two other non-officer employees which provide for aggregate minimum annual compensation of $995,000 and expire in 2011 and 2014.

LITIGATION—Kennedy-Wilson is currently a defendant in certain routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management and legal counsel that the outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of Kennedy-Wilson.

NOTE 19—STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

In March 2009, KWI adopted the 2009 Equity Participation Plan (“the Equity Plan”) that allowed for the grant of up to 2,852,312 shares of common stock. KWI granted 1,426,156 performance awards and 1,426,156 service awards with an exercise price of $7.89. The performance and service awards were scheduled to vest ratably over a seven year period with settlement in shares of common stock of KWI. The option awards would have expired at the end of ten years. The Equity Plan allowed participants to settle vested awards with cash, a full recourse note, or net share settlement. Kennedy-Wilson determined the compensation expense to be recorded under the Equity Plan using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The option pricing model inputs used to determine the grant date fair value of $10.3 million were an expected stock option term of 7 years, expected volatility of 43.4%, expected risk free rate of 2.5%, and no expected dividends. In November 2009, the Equity Plan was canceled and replaced by another 2009 Equity Participation Plan (the “New Equity Plan”). Upon termination of the Equity Plan, the board of directors of KWI approved a cash payment to option holders totaling $1.5 million.

Table of Contents

On November 13, 2009, Kennedy-Wilson adopted the the New Equity Plan that allows for the grant of up to approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock. During 2010 and 2009, approximately 0.1 million and 2.4 million restricted share awards were granted to employees, respectively, which vest ratably over a five year period. Vesting of the restricted share awards is contingent upon the expected achievement of a performance target as of the initial vesting date of November 13, 2010 and each of the next four years thereafter. The performance targets were achieved for 2010. From inception of the plan through December 31, 2010, 467,781 shares have vested and been issued to participants and 18,562 shares have been forfeited. These restricted share awards are recognized as expense on a tranche by tranche basis over the five year performance period.

The cancellation and settlement of the Equity Plan along with the granting of new awards under the New Equity Plan was determined to be a plan modification. Therefore the aggregate compensation cost recognized as a result of the modification will be the remaining grant date fair value of the Equity Plan plus the incremental compensation cost resulting from the modification. The incremental compensation costs are measured as the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards plus the cash paid to settle the Equity Plan awards less the fair value of the Equity Plan on the date of modification. Since, on the date of modification, the cumulative compensation cost recognized under the Equity Plan exceeded the cash paid to settle the award, no additional compensation costs were recorded as a result of the cash payment and it was recorded as a reduction to equity. The fair value of the Equity Plan on the date of modification was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The option pricing model inputs used were an expected stock option term of 6.29 years, volatility of 41.9%, risk free interest rate of 2.95%, and no expected dividends.

As of December 31, 2010, there was $7.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost for the New Equity Plan related to unvested restricted shares and $6.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost for the Equity Plan. The cost for the New Equity Plan is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years and the cost for the Equity Plan is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

Compensation cost recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $8.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and is included in compensation and related expense in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

During 2001 and 2002, KWI’s chairman and chief executive officer was granted a total of 6,465,239 shares of non-vested stock that were scheduled to vest over a period of eight to ten years. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, compensation expense was $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and is included in compensation and related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of non-vested shares deducted from additional paid-in capital was $0, and $1.5 million, respectively. During 2009, in connection with the Merger, the vesting of the remaining unvested shares was accelerated and the expense was included in compensation and related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 20—CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS

During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson repurchased 1,111,690 shares of its common stock at market for total consideration of $11,301,000. These shares are currently held in treasury.

During 2009 and 2008, Kennedy-Wilson acquired approximately 443,000 and 624,000 shares, respectively, of its common stock for total consideration of $3,690,000 and $6,170,000, respectively. These shares were subsequently retired.

During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson repurchased a total of 7,942,555 of its outstanding warrants for total consideration of $11,500,000. 9,807,445 of its warrants remain outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The warrants carry an exercise price of $12.50 with an expiration date of November 14, 2013. Kennedy-Wilson may call for redemption of the warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant if the share price of its common stock equals or exceeds $19.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, or upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder.

During 2010, Kennedy-Wilson issued two series of Convertible Cumulative Preferred stock (together “the Preferred Stock”), series A (100,000 shares) and series B (32,550 shares), for total proceeds less issuance costs of $99.8 million and $32.5 million, respectively. The series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder prior to May 19, 2015 at a price of $12.41 per share and is mandatorily convertible into common stock on May 19, 2015. The series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder prior to November 3, 2018 at a price of $10.70 per share and is mandatorily convertible into common stock on November 3, 2018. The series A and series B Preferred Stock have dividend rates of 6.0% and 6.452%, respectively, payable quarterly.

The certificate of designations of the Preferred Stock contain provisions that require Kennedy-Wilson to commence an offer to purchase all shares of the Preferred Stock at a purchase price in cash per share of Preferred Stock equal to $1,150 plus all accumulated and accrued dividends upon the occurrence of a fundamental change,

defined as a change of control. The parties have agreed that a change of control is deemed to occur when any person or group other than the purchaser of the Preferred Stock and its affiliates, or any officer or director of Kennedy-Wilson as of the issue date of the Preferred Stock, acquires directly or indirectly voting control or direction over more than 35% of the voting control of Kennedy-Wilson for a period of seven consecutive days following the earlier of the date the company becomes aware of such acquisition and the date such person or group files a Schedule 13D. This change of control provision is within Kennedy-Wilson’s control as the Board of Directors, at its discretion, would be able to issue blank check Preferred Stock at any time for any reason which could dilute the person or group to below the 35% of the voting control threshold. As such, Kennedy-Wilson has concluded that the change of control is within the control of Kennedy-Wilson and therefore has classified the Preferred Stock as permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, Kennedy-Wilson entered into registration rights agreements that allow for the holders of the Preferred Stock, with at least a 51% vote, to demand registration of the Preferred Stock (or converted common stock) on or after November 13, 2010. If Kennedy-Wilson does not satisfy the demand for registration, the holders of the Preferred Stock (or converted common stock) would be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. There are sufficient shares of unregistered common stock authorized and unissued to accommodate the conversion feature.

In 2008, before preferred shares were converted to common shares and the shares were recast to match the presentation of Prospect in connection with the Merger, KWI issued 53,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Initial Preferred Stock”). The proceeds from the issuance of the Initial Preferred Stock were $52,354,000, net of expenses related to the offering totaling $646,000. The holders of the Initial Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 7% of the liquidation value of $1,000 per share, payable quarterly. The Initial Preferred Stock had a conversion price of $42 per share. In connection with the Merger the Initial Preferred Stock was converted to common stock and the conversion price was modified to $36 per share. The change in conversion price resulted in the issuance of additional shares to pre-merger preferred shareholders in the amount of $7,879,000. In addition, cash dividend payments to pre-Merger preferred shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $3,235,000 and $2,264,000, respectively.

NOTE 21—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT ARRANGEMENTS

Kennedy-Wilson has a qualified plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this plan, participants are able to make salary deferral contributions of up to 15% of their total compensation, up to a specified maximum. The 401(k) plan also includes provisions which authorize Kennedy-Wilson to make discretionary contributions. During 2010, 2009, and 2008, Kennedy-Wilson made matching contributions of $232,000, $32,000, and $6,000, respectively, to this plan and is included in compensation and related expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying historical summaries of gross income and direct operating expenses (Historical Summaries) of 303-333 Hegenberger (the Property) for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the Property’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summaries based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summaries are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in note 1. The presentation is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s gross income and direct operating expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summaries referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in note 1, of 303-333 Hegenberger for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

303-333 HEGENBERGER

Notes to Historical Summaries of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and

years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

The historical summaries of gross income and direct operating expenses relate to the operations of 303-333 Hegenberger (the Property). The Property comprises two suburban office buildings totaling approximately 197,000 rentable square feet with surface parking, located in the airport submarket of Oakland, California. KWI Property Fund I, L. P. formed KWP Fund I – Hegenberger, L.P. (the Partnership), which acquired the Property on May 4, 2006 for $32,400,000, including capitalized acquisition costs of $400,000. A wholly owned subsidiary of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (KWH) owned an equity interest in KWI Property Fund I, L.P. and on June 30, 2011, KWH acquired full ownership of the Partnership by assuming its assets and liabilities and contributing sufficient funds to refinance the Property.

The historical summaries of gross income and direct operating expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, accordingly, are not representative of the actual results of operations of the Property for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 due to the exclusion of the following expenses, which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property:

 

   

Depreciation and amortization

 

   

Mortgage interest expense since the Property was refinanced at the time of the change in ownership

 

   

Federal and state income taxes

Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the Property other than those already described above that would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results, except as discussed in note 4.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue from tenants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

Tenant recoveries related to the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, since the Partnership is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier, and bears the associated credit risk.

 

  (b) Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of gross income and direct operating expenses during the reporting period to prepare the historical summaries of gross income and direct operating expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Historical Summaries of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 (Unaudited) and

years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008

 

(3) Minimum Future Lease Rentals

There are various lease agreements in place with tenants to lease space at the Property with lease terms ranging from one month to seven years. As of December 31, 2010, the minimum future cash rents receivable under noncancelable operating leases in each of the next five years are as follows:

 

2011

   $  1,996,000   

2012

     1,370,000   

2013

     1,077,000   

2014

     920,000   

2015

     731,000   
  

 

 

 
   $ 6,094,000   
  

 

 

 

Leases generally require reimbursement of the tenant’s proportionate share of common area, real estate taxes, and other operating expenses, which are excluded from the amounts above.

As of September 30, 2011, the Property was leased to a total of 43 tenants, of which four tenants accounted for approximately 53% (unaudited) of base rental revenue for the nine months then ended.

As of December 31, 2010, the Property was leased to a total of 41 tenants, of which four tenants accounted for approximately 55% of base rental revenue for the year then ended.

As of December 31, 2009, the Property was leased to a total of 42 tenants, of which four tenants accounted for approximately 56% of base rental revenue for the year then ended.

As of December 31, 2008, the Property was leased to a total of 48 tenants, of which three tenants accounted for approximately 45% of base rental revenue for the year then ended.

 

(4) Future Operating Results

Due to the acquisition of the Property in June 2011, it is anticipated that future property taxes will decrease approximately $84,000 as a result of the Property value reassessment.

 

(5) Related Parties

The Partnership has a management agreement with KW Properties, Ltd. (KWP), which is an affiliate of KWH. In accordance with the management agreement, KWP receives 3% of gross rental revenues as compensation for managing the Property plus an accounting fee of $3,000 per month.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Partnership incurred $55,000 (unaudited), $109,000, $113,000, and $103,000, respectively, in property management fees and accounting fees. These amounts are reflected as management fees paid to affiliate on the historical summaries of gross income and direct operating expenses.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Issuer and Parent Guarantor

Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:

“SEVENTH.

1. Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation.

The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, except as set forth in Section 6 below, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

2. Actions of Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.

The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action of suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the Court of Chancery of Delaware of such other court shall deem proper.

3. Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections I and 2 of this Article,

 

II-1


Table of Contents

or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, he shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the purpose hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

4. Notification and Defense of Claim.

As a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim, other than as provided below in this Section 4. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his own counsel in connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

5. Advance of Expenses.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6 below, in the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 4 of this Article of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter, provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make such repayment.

6. Procedure for Indemnification.

In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days

 

II-2


Table of Contents

after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless with respect to requests under Section 1, 2 or 5 the Corporation determines, by clear and convincing evidence, within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance by (i) a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even though less than a quorum, (ii) if there are no such disinterested directors, or if such disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may be regular legal counsel to the corporation) in a written opinion, (iii) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, or (iv) the Delaware Court of Chancery.

7. Remedies.

The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in Section 6. Unless otherwise provided by law, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

8. Subsequent Amendment.

No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

“Article VII.—Indemnification.

7.1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation or serving or having served at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or failure to act in an official capacity as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director,

trustee, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware GCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto) (as used in this Article 7, the “Delaware Law”), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in §7.2 hereof with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 7 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware Law so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article 7 or otherwise.

7.2. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under §7.1 hereof is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Article 7 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

7.3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article 7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

7.4. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article 7 or under the Delaware Law.

7.5. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the Advancement of Expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article 7 with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.”

SEVENTH: The following paragraphs shall apply with respect to liability and indemnification of the Corporation’s officers and directors and certain other persons:

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph (A) by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s amended and restated by-laws provides as follows:

“Article VII Indemnification of Directors and Officers

7.1 The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

7.2 The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and

reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

7.3 To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

7.4 Any indemnification under sections 1 or 2 of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such section. Such determination shall be made:

(a) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or

(b) If such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or

(c) By the stockholders.

7.5 Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

7.6 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

7.7 The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

7.8 For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or

7.10 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

7.11 No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that this provision shall not limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for any breach of the director’s or the officer’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit.”

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of

(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 1. Right to Indemnification.

Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE VIII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses.

The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this ARTICLE VIII shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in sections Section 1 and Section 2 of this ARTICLE VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this ARTICLE VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(b) This Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of this Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this Corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonable incurred in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this Corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of this Corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(c) This Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of this Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of this Corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of this Corporation and its stockholders.

(d) To the extent that an agent of this Corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in subdivisions (b) or (c) of this Section 16, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.

(e) Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or in subdivision (d) of this Section 16, any indemnification under this Section shall be made by this Corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification. of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subdivisions (b) or ( c) of this Section 16; by any of the following: (1) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding; (2) If such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; (3) Approval or ratification by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of this Corporation entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. For such purpose, the shares owned by the person to be indemnified shall not be considered outstanding or entitled to vote thereon; or (4) The court in which such proceeding is or was pending, upon application made by this Corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney, or person is opposed by this Corporation.

(f) This Corporation may advance expenses incurred by an agent in defending any proceeding prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 16.

(g) The rights to indemnity hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the person. Nothing contained in this Section 16 shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than directors and officers of this Corporation or any subsidiary hereof may be entitled by contract or otherwise.

(h) No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Section 16, except as provided in subdivisions (d) or (e)(3) of this Section 16, in any circumstance where it appears: (1) That it would be inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation, a resolution of the stockholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (2) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

(i) Upon and in the event of a determination-by the Board of Directors to purchase such insurance, this Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent’s status as such whether or not this Corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against such liability under the provisions of this Section 16.”

registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the 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 registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
