INTRODUCTION
 
This Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (the “Transaction Statement”) is filed on behalf of Quadra Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “Quadra”) and relates to the offer by HRECC Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypo Real Estate Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), to purchase any and all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, not already owned by Parent and its affiliates, at $10.6506 per share net to the seller in cash (without interest and less applicable withholding taxes), less the amount of any dividends declared and paid (other than the $0.3494 dividend described below) with respect to the shares on or between the date of the Offer and the date (the “Acceptance Date”) Purchaser accepts and pays for shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 13, 2008 (the “Offer to Purchase”). The Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal together with any amendments or supplements thereto, constitute the “Offer.”
 
In addition, on February 1, 2008, the Company declared a $0.3494 per share dividend payable to stockholders of the Company who hold shares of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the last trading day immediately preceding the Acceptance Date (the “Dividend”). The Dividend will not be paid if the Offer is not closed. This will result in stockholders of the Company receiving $11.00 per share in the aggregate, an approximately 38% premium to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 28, 2008 and an approximately 41% premium to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 trading days ending on January 28, 2008. The Company expects to declare and pay an additional dividend immediately prior to the Acceptance Date, to the extent of the Company’s taxable income for the period beginning January 1, 2008 and ending on the date immediately preceding the Acceptance Date. Such dividend will reduce the Offer Price by the per share amount of any such dividend.
 
The Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal were filed by Purchaser as Exhibits to the combined Tender Offer Statement and Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2008 (the “Schedule TO”).
 
This Transaction Statement also relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 28, 2008 by and among the Company, Parent and Purchaser (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, following completion of the Offer, and in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares that are to be cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement or are to otherwise remain outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, subject to reduction for dividends as described above.
 
Concurrent with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, the Company is filing a Schedule 14D-9 Solicitation and Recommendation Statement (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) under Section 14(d)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in response to the Schedule TO. A copy of the Schedule 14D-9 is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(2)(A), a copy of the Offer to Purchase is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to this Transaction Statement and a copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 29, 2008.
