Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 9, 2006, Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (the "Registrant") purchased a four-story office building containing approximately 227,000 rentable square feet (the "11950 Corporate Boulevard Building") for approximately $44.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The acquisition was funded with net proceeds raised from the Registrant's ongoing public offering and with proceeds from the Registrant's $400.0 million line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. The 11950 Corporate Boulevard Building is located on an approximate 13.2-acre parcel of land at 11950 Corporate Boulevard in Orlando, Florida. The 11950 Corporate Boulevard Building was purchased from 11950 Corporate Owner Corporation, which is not affiliated with the Registrant or Wells Capital, Inc.
The 11950 Corporate Boulevard Building, which was completed in 2001, is entirely leased to Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation ("Siemens Westinghouse"). Siemens Westinghouse, a subsidiary of the German electronics and electrical engineering group Siemens AG, is headquartered in Orlando, Florida and is the regional business entity in the Americas for Siemens Power Generation's global fossil power generation business. Siemens AG, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange, has approximately 461,000 employees working to develop and manufacture products, design and install complex systems and projects, and tailor a wide range of services for individual requirements. Siemens AG focuses on the areas of information and communications, automation and control, power, transportation, medical, and lighting. Siemens AG reported a net worth, as of June 30, 2006, of approximately 27.8 billion (in euros). The current annual base rent payable under the Siemens Westinghouse lease, which commenced in April 2001 and expires in June 2011, is approximately $3.2 million. Siemens Westinghouse has the right, at its option, to extend the initial term of its lease for two additional five-year periods.
The Registrant does not intend to make significant renovations or improvements to the 11950 Corporate Boulevard Building in the near term. Management of the Registrant believes that the 11950 Corporate Boulevard Building is adequately insured.
