Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 7, 2019, Camden Property Trust (the “Company”) completed an underwritten public offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.350% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “Notes”).

The Notes bear interest at 3.350% from October 7, 2019, with interest payable each May 1 and November 1 beginning May 1, 2020. The Notes will mature on November 1, 2049. The Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes being redeemed, plus a make-whole premium. If, however, the Company redeems the Notes six months or fewer prior to their maturity date, the redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

The Notes were priced at a discount such that the Notes were offered to the public at 99.941% of their face amount. The Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor to SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 4, 2007 between the Company and the Trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated June 3, 2011 between the Company and the Trustee and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated October 4, 2018 between the Company and the Trustee.

CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST

3.350% NOTE DUE 2049

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2003, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 4, 2007, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 3, 2011 and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 4, 2018 (collectively, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, a banking corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as successor to SunTrust Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and all board resolutions and indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the first page hereof.

“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, assuming that the Securities matured on, and that accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities was payable through, the Par Call Date (as defined below), determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (as defined below) determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being redeemed or paid.

“Par Call Date” means May 1, 2049, the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Securities.

“Reinvestment Rate” means 0.200% (twenty one-hundredths of one percent) plus the arithmetic mean of the yields displayed for each day in the preceding calendar week published in the most recent Statistical Release (as defined below) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the then remaining maturity of such Securities being redeemed or paid, assuming that such Securities matured on the Par Call Date. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity date, the Reinvestment Rate will be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity date.

“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication that is published daily by the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release (or a successor publication) is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the Company.

Notwithstanding Section 4 of the First Supplemental Indenture, the covenants set forth in Section 10.12 of the Indenture shall be fully applicable to this Security.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Security.

If any Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

3

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee, offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or any interest on and any Additional Amounts in respect thereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such or, against any past, present or future shareholder, officer, trust manager or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities of this series.

4

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

THE INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Securities of this series as convenience to the Holders of such Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP number, or the ISIN number, printed on the Securities of this series, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as securities counsel to Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), in connection with the registration of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.350% Notes due 2049 (the “Notes”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 15, 2017.

In our capacity as your counsel in connection with such registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Notes, and for the purposes of this opinion, have assumed such proceedings will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed. In addition, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable in connection with this opinion, including (a) the Declaration of Trust of the Company and the Bylaws of the Company, as amended, (b) the Indenture dated February 11, 2003, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated May 4, 2007, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated June 3, 2011 and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated October 4, 2018, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor to SunTrust Bank, and (c) the Registration Statement. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and the authenticity of telegraphic or telephonic confirmations of public officials and others. As to facts material to our opinion, we have relied upon certificates or telegraphic or telephonic confirmations of public officials and certificates, documents, statements and other information of the Company or representatives or officers thereof.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

These opinions are delivered to you in our capacity as counsel to Camden Property Trust (the “Company”) in connection with the registration of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.350% Notes due 2049 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 15, 2017. These opinions relate to the Company’s qualification for federal income tax purposes as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

In rendering the following opinions, we have examined the Declaration of Trust and Bylaws of the Company and such other records, certificates and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein.

We have relied upon the factual representations of officers of the Company that the Company has been and will be owned and operated in such a manner that the Company has and will continue to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code. We assume that the Company has been and will be operated in accordance with applicable laws and the terms and conditions of applicable documents. In addition, we have relied on certain additional facts and assumptions described below.

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures on documents we have examined, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, (iv) the conformity of final documents to all documents submitted to us as drafts, (v) the authority and capacity of the individual or individuals who executed any such documents on behalf of any person, (vi) the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us and (vii) the factual accuracy of all representations, warranties and other statements made by all parties. We have also assumed, without investigation, that all documents, certificates, representations, warranties and covenants on which we have relied in rendering the opinions set forth below and that were given or dated earlier than the date of this letter continue to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinions set forth herein, from such earlier date through and including the date of this letter.

The discussion and conclusions set forth below are based upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations and Procedure and Administration Regulations promulgated thereunder and existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of which are subject to change. No assurance can therefore be given that the federal income tax consequences described below will not be altered in the future.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the assumptions, qualifications and factual matters in the Registration Statement, and provided that the Company continues to meet the applicable asset composition, source of income, shareholder diversification, distribution and other requirements of the Code necessary for a corporation to qualify as a REIT, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company has met the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for each taxable year commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 1993.

2. The diversity of equity ownership, operations through the date of this opinion and proposed method of operation should allow the Company to qualify as a REIT for the taxable year ending December 31, 2019.

We express no opinion with respect to the transactions described herein other than those expressly set forth herein. The Company’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon the Company’s ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual operating and other results, the various requirements under the Code with regard to, among other things, the sources of its income, the composition of its assets, the level of its distributions to shareholders, and the diversity of its share ownership. Dentons US LLP will not review the Company’s compliance with these requirements on a continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual operating results of the Company and the entities in which the Company owns interests, the sources of their income, the nature of their assets, the level of distributions to shareholders and the diversity of share ownership for any given taxable year will satisfy the requirements under the Code for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Additionally, you should recognize that our opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and that the IRS may disagree with the opinions contained herein.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on or around October 7, 2019. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we are under no obligation to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof, or the impact of any information, document, certificate, record, statement, representation, covenant or assumption relied upon herein that becomes incorrect or untrue.
