INDIANAPOLIS, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kite Realty Group (NYSE: KRG) (the “Company”) announced today that its operating partnership, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), has closed its previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of
The Notes are the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured obligations and accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2027, at a rate of
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after July 20, 2029, if the last reported sale price of the Common Shares has been at least
The Operating Partnership used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (defined below) described below. The Operating Partnership used or intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds from its recent asset dispositions, to (i) repurchase approximately
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Operating Partnership entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions, including the initial purchasers of the Notes or their respective affiliates (the “Capped Call Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of Common Shares underlying the Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to holders of the Common Shares upon exchange of the Notes and/or offset the potential cash payments the Operating Partnership could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any exchanged Notes upon exchange thereof, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is initially
The Capped Call Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Common Shares and/or purchasing or selling Common Shares or other securities of the Company or the Operating Partnership in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and are likely to do so (x) during any averaging period related to an exchange of the Notes, following any redemption of the Notes by the Operating Partnership or following any repurchase of the Notes by the Operating Partnership in connection with any fundamental change and (y) following any repurchase of the Notes by the Operating Partnership other than in connection with any such redemption or any such fundamental change if the Operating Partnership elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the Capped Call Transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the Common Shares or the Notes, which could affect a noteholder’s ability to exchange the Notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any averaging period related to an exchange of the Notes, it could affect the number of Common Shares and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon exchange of the Notes.
Neither the Notes nor the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Notes have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes have been offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act).
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the Notes or the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale of the Notes or the Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Notes would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
