C-III Capital Partners LLC to Acquire NAI Global

NEW YORK, NY, June 22, 2011 — C-III Capital Partners LLC (C-III) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire NAI Global, the largest and premier network of independent commercial real estate firms worldwide. C-III is led by Andrew L. Farkas, who founded and was Chairman and CEO of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE:IFS). NAI Global will continue to operate as a separate company under its current management following the acquisition.

NAI manages a network of commercial real estate firms comprising 5,000 professionals and 350 offices in the US and 55 countries throughout the world. NAI’s network members provide a full spectrum of corporate, financial, technology and project management services.

“C-III plans to use its asset base, along with strategic acquisitions such as NAI, to create a fully diversified commercial real estate services company,” said Mr. Farkas. “This is the strategy that was successful for Insignia. C-III is led by the same team that built Insignia, and with C-III’s significantly larger asset base, I believe C-III can substantially exceed Insignia’s success,” concluded Mr. Farkas. At its height, Insignia managed $12.5 billion in assets, while today C-III’s portfolio approximates $150 billion in assets. Insignia was one of the largest commercial real estate services companies in the world when it merged with CB Richard Ellis in 2003.

C-III commenced operations with the purchase of Centerline Capital Group’s institutional real estate debt fund management and commercial mortgage loan servicing businesses in March 2010. Since that time, C-III has successfully launched mortgage origination, investment sales and title insurance businesses from scratch, and expanded its principal investment, loan origination fund management and primary and special loan servicing businesses. “Today’s agreement represents a tremendous opportunity for NAI and our members,” said Gerald C. Finn, Chairman of NAI Global. “By teaming up with Andrew Farkas, one of the world’s leading real estate businessmen, we expect NAI will be able to significantly grow its service offerings and present new opportunities to our members.”

“We have built the world’s leading commercial real estate network, but we now believe it is time to take the enterprise to a new level and add even greater value to our members and our collective corporate and investment clients. The combination with C-III will provide a depth of resources, talent and tools from which we can draw upon to accelerate our growth,” noted Jeffrey M. Finn, President and CEO of NAI Global. “Rarely do you find partners so perfectly strategically aligned as NAI Global and C-III. This is a natural fit and extremely exciting news for the industry.”

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2011.

Tips for a SAFE Halloween!

It’s that time of year again when the leaves are changing color and kids are trick-or-treating around our neighborhoods. Please help your kids enjoy a safe Halloween this year by having them dress properly for the night hours. Have them carry glow sticks, flash lights or anything that will have them visible to night time drivers. Check out the story featured on the Today Show’s website that explains how a fun night of trick-or-treating can turn out to be dangerous.

NAI Long Island wishes everyone a fun and safe Halloween!
