Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 30, 2015, CubeSmart, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and CubeSmart, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Barclays Equity Distribution Agreement”) among the Company, the Operating Partnership and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and separate amendments (the “Amendments”) to each of the Equity Distribution Agreements (as amended, collectively the “Initial Equity Distribution Agreements” and, together with the Amendments and the Barclays Equity Distribution Agreement, the “Equity Distribution Agreements”) entered into on May 7, 2013 and amended on May 5, 2014 and October 2, 2014 with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Jefferies LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the “Initial Sales Agents” and together with Barclays, the “Sales Agents”) in connection with the Company’s “at-the-market” offering program (the “Offering”).  The Amendments increased the number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”) which the Company may now sell through the Initial Sales Agents.  Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, the Company may sell, from time to time, up to 40,000,000 Common Shares through the Sales Agents.  Pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed on December 30, 2015, 10,193,055 Common Shares remain available for offer and sale under the Equity Distribution Agreements.

The Common Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-194661) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2014, which became effective immediately upon filing. A prospectus supplement relating to the Offering has been filed today with the SEC to continue the Offering under the Shelf Registration Statement.

The legal opinion of Pepper Hamilton LLP relating to the legality of the shares offered by the prospectus supplement and the legal opinion of Pepper Hamilton with respect to certain tax matters are attached as Exhibit 5.1 and Exhibit 8.1, respectively, to this Current Report.

The Company intends to contribute the net proceeds from the offering of the Common Shares to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general business purposes, including, without limitation, repayment of outstanding debt, facility acquisitions, developments, joint ventures, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The other specifics of the Initial Equity Distribution Agreements are incorporated by reference from the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2013, May 5, 2014 and October 2, 2014.  The Barclays Equity Distribution Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and the Form of Amendments is filed as Exhibit 1.2 hereto. The description of the material terms of the Barclays Equity Distribution Agreement and Amendments in this Item 1.01 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
