On January 4, 2024,
Mid-America
Apartments, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Truist Securities, Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule 1 attached to the Underwriting Agreement, in connection with the public offering by the Operating Partnership of $350 million aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.000% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”).On January 10, 2024, the Operating Partnership issued and sold the Notes. The terms of
t
he Notes are governed by an indenture dated as of May 9, 2017 between the Operating Partnership and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a seventh supplemental indenture dated as of January 10, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) between the Operating Partnership and the Trustee.The Notes bear interest at 5.000% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2024. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2034.
At any time prior to December 15, 2033 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Operating Partnership will have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, by paying a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, on or after December 15, 2033, the Operating Partnership will have the right, at its option, to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the Notes, which includes payment defaults, defaults in the performance of certain covenants, and bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes may be accelerated, in which case the entire principal amount of the Notes would be immediately due and payable.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Notes are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture establishing the terms of the Notes, which are being filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form
