3.90% Unsecured senior notes payable

In June 2013, we completed a $500 million public offering of our unsecured senior notes payable at a stated interest rate of 3.90% (“3.90% Unsecured Senior Notes”).  The unsecured senior notes payable were priced at 99.712% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.94% and are due June 15, 2023.  The unsecured senior notes payable are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.  The unsecured senior notes payable rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness.  However, the unsecured senior notes payable are effectively subordinated to existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P.  We used the net proceeds of this offering to prepay $150 million of the outstanding principal balance of $750 million on our unsecured senior bank term loan due in 2016 (“2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”), to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our unsecured senior line of credit to zero, and to hold the remaining proceeds in cash and cash equivalents to fund near-term opportunities related to development/redevelopment projects, to fund near-term property acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the $150 million prepayment, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees in June 2013, totaling $560 thousand.

Unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans

The maturity date of the unsecured senior line of credit is April 2017, assuming we exercise our sole right to extend the maturity date twice by an additional six months after each exercise.  Borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit will bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended unsecured senior line of credit agreement, plus in either case a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”).  The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit as of June 30, 2013, was 1.20%, which is based on our existing credit rating as set by certain rating agencies. As of June 30, 2013, we did not have any borrowings outstanding.  Our unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.25% based on the aggregate commitments outstanding.

In addition, the terms of the unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan agreements, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., and the Company’s subsidiaries to i) consummate a merger, or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and ii) incur certain secured or unsecured indebtedness.  Additionally, the terms of the unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan agreements include a restriction that may limit our ability to pay dividends, including distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, during any time a default is continuing, except to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
