Results of Tender Offer for 4.000% Senior Notes due 2024

On February 9, 2021, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 4.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). On February 10, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the expiration of the Tender Offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 9, 2021 (the “Expiration Time”). As of the Expiration Time, $585,397,000, or 90.06%, of the $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding prior to the Tender Offer had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Tender Offer.

The Company accepted for purchase all of the Notes validly tendered and delivered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer at or prior to the Expiration Time. Payment for the Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer was made on February 10, 2021 (the “Settlement Date”), and payment for Notes tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as defined below) is anticipated to be made on February 12, 2021 (the “Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date”).

The consideration paid under the Tender Offer was $1,102.42 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date. The Tender Offer was funded from a portion of the net proceeds from the previously announced issuance and sale by the Company of its 2.000% Senior Notes due 2032 and 3.000% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “New Issue Notes”).

Any Notes tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and accepted for purchase will be purchased on the third business day after the Expiration Time, but payment of accrued interest on such Notes will only be made to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer was made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery attached to the Offer to Purchase (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”), each dated February 3, 2021. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as dealer manager for the Tender Offer.

Redemption of 4.000% Senior Notes due 2024

On February 10, 2021, the Company announced that it has elected to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following the Tender Offer. The aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes following the Settlement Date is $64,603,000, including any Notes tendered pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery that are intended to be purchased on the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date. The redemption price for the Notes is $1,106.05 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which includes accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date (as defined below). The Company expects the redemption of the Notes to occur on March 12, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”).

Truist Bank, as successor in interest to Branch Banking and Trust Company, as trustee for the Notes, issued a notice to registered holders of the Notes concerning the redemption. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the New Issue Notes offering to fund the redemption. After the redemption, no Notes will remain outstanding. The foregoing does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Notes.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the Notes nor is it a solicitation for acceptance of the Tender Offer. Copies of the press releases announcing the (i) pricing of the Tender Offer, (ii) the expiration of the Tender Offer and (iii) the redemption are furnished as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In addition, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for the Notes. The Company expects the Settlement Date to occur on February 10, 2021.
