Item 2.06 Material
Impairments.
On January 26,
2009, Camden Property Trust (the “Company”) announced a reduction
in the number of planned development projects it will undertake, a reduction in
its construction and development staff and the charges related to these
actions. These decisions were the result of the Company’s quarterly
strategic review taking into consideration the current and anticipated economic
climate.
The Company will
recognize in the fourth quarter of 2008 a non-cash charge of approximately
$51.3 million. The charge reflects a $48.6 million impairment in the
carrying value of land holdings for five future development projects the
Company no longer plans to develop, a $1.6 million charge for a land
parcel held for investment, and a $1.1 million charge associated with
abandoning a potential joint venture development project. The impairment charge
reflects the difference between each parcel’s or investment’s
estimated fair value and its current book value. The impairment related-charges
are not currently expected to result in material future cash expenditures.
As a result of the
planned reduction in development activity, the Company expects to incur a cash
charge of approximately $1 million for severance costs during the first
quarter of 2009.
For additional
information concerning the impairment charge and other matters discussed above,
refer to the press release attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.
