HOUSTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT)
announced today that its six senior executive officers have completed the
purchase of 666,034 shares of Camden common shares of beneficial interest for
a total of $17.5 million. The transactions were open market purchases funded
via full recourse personal loans made to each executive at market rates and
terms by Bank One. A corporate guarantee was provided to Bank One by Camden
in order to facilitate the transaction. However, each executive is fully
responsible for his or her loan obligations and has indemnified Camden.
"We believe that Camden's shares are significantly undervalued, and we are
acting on that belief by personally purchasing shares," said Ric Campo,
Camden's Chairman and CEO. "Camden's board is pleased that its executives are
willing to make such large additions to their personal investments in Camden.
This transaction clearly demonstrates our commitment to the Company and
together with the Company's recent share buyback program, it further evidences
the alignment of interests between senior management and our shareholders."
