Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.
On March 31, 2010, U-Store-It Trust (the “Company”) sent a notice to its trustees and executive officers informing them of a blackout period under the U-Store-It L.P. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) in connection with a change in plan administrator under the Plan, which notice the Company filed on Form 8-K on March 31, 2010. That notice stated that the blackout period was expected to begin at 4:00 p.m. on April 15, 2010 and to end approximately May 15, 2010. On May 14, 2010, the Company sent a second notice to its trustees and executive officers stating that, due to administrative difficulties in the transfer and reconciliation of Plan accounts, the blackout period was expected to end during the week beginning on May 30, 2010. Other than the delayed ending date, there are no material changes to the notice previously filed on Form 8-K. A copy of the original notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the updated notice is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
During the blackout period and for a period of two years following the ending date of the blackout period, security holders or other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting the Senior Vice President — Chief Legal Officer, U-Store-It Trust, 460 East Swedesford Road, Suite 3000, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087, or at (610) 293-5700.
