"The recapitalization of Courvoisier Centre will enable Parkway to realize significant value appreciation in the asset, meaningfully participate in its future growth and create a partnership that could be used to accelerate our growth in Miami and other markets," stated James R. Heistand, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parkway. "This transaction represents another significant step in Parkway's continued capital recycling strategy."
Courvoisier Centre Joint Venture
Parkway has agreed to form a joint venture with a foreign capital source, with Parkway retaining a 20% interest in Courvoisier Centre, as well as property management and leasing for the joint venture. While Courvoisier Centre is currently unencumbered by debt, the joint venture expects to encumber the asset with mortgage debt, estimated at 60% loan-to-value, at closing.
Courvoisier Centre is a Class A office complex located on the upscale island community of Brickell Key. The properties offer panoramic water and skyline views from nearly every leasable space, and have a comprehensive, high-end amenity base both at the properties and nearby. Parkway acquired the asset in April 2014 for a gross purchase price of $145.8 million. Courvoisier Centre was 80.5% occupied and 84.1% leased as of October 1, 2015.
Parkway expects the closing of the Courvoisier Centre joint venture and associated financing to occur in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions, including the placement of secured debt. There can be no assurance that the sale and associated financing will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
2016 Revised Outlook
After considering the Courvoisier Centre recapitalization, Parkway is adjusting its 2016 FFO outlook to a range of $1.28 to $1.38 per diluted share for Parkway Properties LP's real estate portfolio, in which Parkway owns an interest (the "Parkway Portfolio") and adjusting its earnings per diluted share ("EPS") outlook to a range of $0.29 to $0.39 for the Parkway Portfolio.

Variance within the outlook range may occur due to variations in the recurring revenue and expenses of the Company, as well as certain non-recurring items. The earnings outlook does not include the impact of possible future gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, possible future acquisitions or dispositions and related costs other than those currently under contract, possible future capital markets activity, the impact of fluctuations in the Company's stock price on share-based compensation, possible future impairment charges or other unusual charges that may occur during the year, except as noted. It has been and will continue to be the Company's policy not to issue quarterly earnings guidance or revise the annual earnings outlook unless a material event occurs that impacts the Company's reported FFO outlook range. This policy is intended to lessen the emphasis on short-term movements that do not have a material impact on earnings or long-term value of the Company.
