Item 5. Other Events.
1. The Company is filing a description of the material U.S.
federal income tax consequences relating to the taxation of the Company as a
REIT and the ownership and disposition of the Company's common shares. This
description replaces and supersedes prior descriptions of the material federal
income tax treatment of the Company and its shareholders to the extent that they
are inconsistent with the description contained in this Form 8-K. The
description of material U.S. federal income tax consequences includes
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified by
using words such as "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "may be" and "will be"
and similar words or phrases, or the negative thereof. Important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such
forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors discussed in the
risk factors included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2001. For all forward-looking statements contained herein, the Company claims
the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
2. The Company is attaching as exhibits to this Form 8-K the
form of Restricted Share Award provided to Christopher P. Marr and the form of
Severance Agreement executed with Mr. Marr. As previously reported, Mr. Marr
