Item 8.01. Other Events.
On April 8, 2009, we entered into a purchase agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities, as representatives of the
several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto, in connection with the offer and sale by us of
152,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of
$6.60 per share. We granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 22,800,000 additional
common shares to cover over-allotments, which the underwriters exercised in full on April 8, 2009.
We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $1.107 billion after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated transaction expenses payable by us.
The shares are being offered and sold under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to our shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-157818). The offering is scheduled to close on April 14, 2009, subject to
specified closing conditions. A copy of the underwriting agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the filing of the underwriting agreement, we are filing as Exhibit 5.1 hereto an
