On December 23, 2021, we sold a 35% equity interest from our 55% equity interest in our joint venture arrangement for a life science property located in Boston, Massachusetts, or our joint venture, to an unrelated third party institutional investor for $378.0 million. Following the sale, we continue to own a 20% equity interest in our joint venture and our pre-existing joint venture partner continues to own its 45% equity interest in our joint venture.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
| (b) | Pro Forma Financial Information. |
Effective as of the date of the sale described in Item 2.01 above, the results of operations of our joint venture will be deconsolidated and our remaining 20% interest will be accounted for using the equity method. This Current Report on Form 8-K includes unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company as required by Item 9.01(b) of Current Report on Form 8-K as a result of this deemed disposition.
