BXP Announces Pricing of Upsized Offering of $850.0 Million Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2030
The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of BPLP and will accrue interest at a rate of
The notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at BPLP’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 6, 2028 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the notes, but only if the last reported sale price per share of BXP’s common stock exceeds
The holders of the notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement pursuant to which BXP will agree to register the resale of the shares of BXP’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of the notes under the Securities Act.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, BPLP and BXP entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of BXP’s common stock initially underlying the notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to BXP’s common stock upon any exchange of notes and/or offset any cash payments BPLP is required to make in excess of the principal amount of exchanged notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
BPLP has been advised that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to BXP’s common stock and/or purchase shares of BXP’s common stock or other securities of BXP in secondary market transactions concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of BXP’s common stock or the notes at that time. In addition, BPLP expects that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to BXP’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling BXP’s common stock or other securities of BXP or BPLP in secondary market transactions prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so following any repurchase of notes by BPLP on a fundamental change repurchase date, any redemption date or exchange of the notes and during the 40 VWAP trading day period beginning on the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the notes, or, to the extent BPLP exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any other repurchase of the notes). This activity could also cause, reduce the extent of or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of BXP’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders to exchange the notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to an exchange of notes, it could affect the number of shares of BXP’s common stock, if any, and value of the consideration that holders will receive upon exchange of the notes.
BPLP estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of the notes will be approximately
The offer and sale of the notes and any shares of BXP’s common stock deliverable upon exchange of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the notes and any such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute a notice of repayment or notice of redemption of the 2026 Notes.
Although BPLP and BXP intend to enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which BXP will agree to file a resale registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of shares of BXP’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of the notes, the registration rights agreement will contain significant limitations, and a resale registration statement may not be available at the time investors wish to resell the shares of BXP’s common stock, if any, deliverable upon exchange of their notes. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the notes or any shares of BXP’s common stock deliverable upon exchange of the notes, nor will there be any sale of the notes or any such shares of BXP’s common stock, in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
