Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 14, 2012, HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”) relating to the sale by the Company of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% senior unsecured notes due February 2020 (the “Notes”). On November 19, 2012, the Company completed its underwritten public offering of the Notes (the “Offering”). The net proceeds of the Offering are approximately $790.7 million, which the Company intends to use to repay $600 million currently outstanding under its bank line of credit, which borrowings were used to fund a portion of the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of 133 housing communities from a joint venture between Emeritus Corporation and Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI, as announced by the Company on October 31, 2012 (the “Acquisition”). The Company intends to use the additional proceeds for general corporate purposes that may include repayment of $150 million of 5.625% senior unsecured notes due February 2013 and funding of future acquisitions or investments. Additional details related to this Offering may be found in the Prospectus Supplement dated November 14, 2012 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 16, 2012.
The Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture dated November 19, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated November 19, 2012, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Notes will mature on February 1, 2020, and the Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on February 1 and August 1, beginning on February 1, 2013. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) the “make-whole” amounts applicable to the Notes to be redeemed as set forth in the section titled “Description of the Notes — Optional Redemption” in the Prospectus Supplement. In addition, the Notes are redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed 90 days or fewer before their maturity.
The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (333-182824), originally filed with the Commission on July 24, 2012. The description of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the form of the Notes, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
