Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 8, 2019, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for (i) any and all of its outstanding 2.750% Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and (ii) any and all of its outstanding 4.600% Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes,” and, together with the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”). The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in an offer to purchase and notice of guaranteed delivery (collectively, the “Tender Offer Documents”) that will be sent to registered holders of the Notes and be posted online at www.gbsc-usa.com/ARE. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 12, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”).
The applicable consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Tender Offer Documents by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Notes plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 12, 2019, unless extended.
Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the Company initially makes payment for such Notes, which date is anticipated to be July 15, 2019 (the “Settlement Date”). Notes tendered by 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.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K under this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1 and the information contained once accessible through the website indicated above) shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made by the company or the operating partnership under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
