Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed June 19, 2009. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This Form 8-K filing by CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (CBRE) announces the successful completion of a significant debt offering.

Specifically, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., closed on an offering of $450 milliona in 11.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. This event is crucial for investors as it indicates the company's ability to access capital markets, even during potentially challenging economic times.

The proceeds from this offering are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which could include funding strategic initiatives, acquisitions, or general working capital needs.
