Series D Preferred Shares

NOTE 10: SERIES D PREFERRED SHARES

On October 1, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the purchase agreement, with ARS VI Investor I, LLC, or the investor, an affiliate of Almanac Realty Investors, LLC, or Almanac. Under the purchase agreement, we are required to issue and sell to the investor on a private placement basis from time to time in a period up to two years, and the investor will be obligated to purchase from us, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000, or the total commitment, the following securities, in the aggregate: (i) 4,000,000 Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $0.01 per share, of RAIT, or the Series D Preferred Shares, (ii) common share purchase warrants, or the warrants, exercisable for 9,931,000 of our common shares, or the common shares, and (iii) common share appreciation rights, or the investor SARs with respect to up to 6,735,667 common shares. These securities will be issued on a pro rata basis based on the percentage of the total commitment drawn down at the relevant closing under the purchase agreement.

The warrants and investor SARs had an initial strike price of $6.00 per common share, subject to adjustment. As of the filing of this report, the strike price has adjusted to $5.87.

The warrants and investor SARs were both determined to be classified as liabilities and had a combined fair value of $41,004 as of March 31, 2014. The initial fair value of the warrants and investor SARs are recorded as a liability and re-measured at each reporting period until the warrants and investor SARs are settled. Changes in fair value will be recorded in earnings as a component of the change in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations.
