Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 17, 2007, Health Care Property Investors, Inc. (“HCP”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement with the underwriters named therein pursuant to which HCP will issue $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes Due 2017 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by the terms of an Indenture (the “Indenture”) between HCP and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, dated as of September 1, 1993.
HCP will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on January 30 and July 30, beginning July 30, 2007.
The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations and will rank equally with all of HCP’s other present and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
HCP may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date and (2) a “make-whole” amount based on the yield of a comparable U.S. Treasury security plus 25 basis points. For more information, refer to “Description of the Notes — Optional Redemption” in the Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by HCP on January 19, 2007 (the “Final Prospectus”).
In addition, if we experience a Change of Control and the notes are rated below Investment Grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. as a result, we will offer to repurchase all of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. See “Description of the Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event,” in the Final Prospectus, for further information about the offer to repurchase and for definitions of Change of Control and Investment Grade.
The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-137225) (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Commission by HCP under the Act. Copies of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of the Notes are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
